Review #972: Born Suspect "Street Life"

Reviewed on 6.06.2011 (Review #972)


This iz my 4th review for today: Born Suspect “Street Live, 666 style, lol! Start Time: 10:25 PM | End Time: 10:47 PM


Quick Note: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!! I only please myself wit my ratings!! I don’t care how lyrical you are! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much REALLY LOVE it as it’s considered “mindblowin’” when I hear it. Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song. Anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it.

Link To CD: N/A


01. Intro
Let’s see what we got here… >>> Interestin’ intro; “droppin’ mo shit than a pigeon,” lol! You prolly gon be interestin’ on tha mic! My Rating: N/A


02. “Here We Come”
>>> Instantly started! Sounds like a catchy, Hip-Hop tune; what more ta say, lol? Yea, this really gives me a Hip-Hop/East Coast-type feel, ‘90s style. My Rating: 3.9


03. “Born A Suspect”
Just like ya name! >>> Ooh, this iz much betta for a beat!! It sounds like a spooky, hot joint I ‘bout ta expect, lol! “11-27-68” was tha day you were born? Released dis CD at 29? Interestin’ ‘cause most people seem ta release shit in their late 10’s/early 20’s. Tha shit you’re spittin’, here, sounds serious; good deliveries wit dis real-action shit you’re spittin’! At times, it sounds interestin’ wit tha sirens and shit. Also, tha outro iz aight, too… My Rating: 4.3


04. “What Color Is Hate”
Yea, “what color iz hate”? Curious… >>> Tha beat’s at a lil’ slower pace, here; tha rhymes sound good wit what you’re bringin’ to tha table wit this topic. Ooh, tha hook sounds pretty serious wit tha chantin’ in tha background and this spooky, Halloween-type beat!! Tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ betta wit tha shit goin’ on, too; good shit wit a good topic! My Rating: 4.4


05. “Comb Ya Bush Up”
This iz an interestin’ title; iz this like tha pick in tha hair, lol? >>> LOL, tha beat sounds faster; didn’t expect dat but I didn’t know what ta expect wit a title like dis… Tha hook sounds catchy wit this title but overall, I was more impressed wit tha more lyrical-soundin’ songs you brought to tha table, previously. My Rating: 3.7


06. “Check Da Skills”
>>> This I would’ve expected ta have had a faster vibe wit this title… Again, only decent; I’d rather hear tha lyrical shit. My Rating: 3.6


07. “It’s About That Time”
>>> Tha beat’s betta, here, and so iz tha content, too; gotta feel tha in-time rappin’/themes! This hook sounds pretty catchy; somethin’ fa tha “South” ta enjoy… My Rating: 3.8


08. “Dat Was Then (This Is Now)”
This looks like a good title. >>> Oh, this iz back to tha mainstream-soundin’ shit dat sounds faster… Once again, this iz okay but this ain’t nothin’ too special for my Louisiana liking. My Rating: 3.4


½time: Not bad…; 3.9 for tha CD rating, currently. I think you should keep tha gutta, spooky-soundin’ production goin’ wit some lyrical shit.


09. “Party”
>>> Ehh, especially since tha hook plays off of Diana King’s song from a few years before this… Tha rhymes are a lil’ betta than some of tha faster-soundin’ songs I heard, prior; somewhat-good, overall… However, I dunno if I can handle almost five minutes of somethin’ like dis… My Rating: 3.7


10. “Buck’em Down”
>>> Speakin’ of Diana King, now, we got a Jamaican start, lol. Yes, this iz tha style I was lookin’ forward ta hearin’!! Tha production’s nice and dis gangsta/gun-type content’s great ta hear! I like how tha Jamaican dude adds a nice touch ta dis wit those vocals on tha hook! :tu My Rating: 4.2


11. “Street Life”
Let’s see dis title track… >>> I like tha G-Funk sounds; don’t mind tha fastness in tha beat too much… Rhymes sound like they could be consistent but once again, I don’t think somethin’ like dis should be almost five minutes long… Tha hook sounds like it could be somethin’ good; not bad… My Rating: 3.8


12. “Summer Time (In Da Getto)”
>>> I think I know where dis iz goin’…; I can sense some Rick James goin’ on in tha background, here… This sounds like a regular-soundin’ song dat’s not too bad; I kinda like tha ‘90s vibe… LOL, tha hook’s a lil’ boring; thought there’d be more than just a title, regularly said… My Rating: 3.1


13. “Funksta”
Finally, a shorter length? >>> Ooh, sounds like an interlude/skit!! Gotta luv tha sniffin’! LOL, I think this iz a song, after all!! It somewhat sounds off-beat, at times, but for tha most part, this iz catchy. My Rating: 4.2


14. “U Been Whip”
A long song? Hope it’s good… >>> This seems ta be tha best song dat looks long; nice hook! Tha beat sounds good and tha rappin’ iz on a good level… Startin’ ta get a lil’ long but overall, tha rhymes are keepin’ me company… My Rating: 3.9


15. “Beatcha Meat”
LOL? >>> ROFL, a song about “beatin’ ya meat!!!” :rofl :rofl :rofl “Bustin’ nuts in ya hand…;” I just “bust” in a tissue, since I like ta keep areas clean, lol! Been a busta since February 1997, lol! This iz definitely entertainin’; I’m up fa shit like dis ‘cause it’s controversial and funny ta hear! ROFL, tha hook iz commandin’ ta “beatcha meat;” hella funny!!! :rofl :rofl :rofl Definitely funny ta have even more than one verse about “beatin’ ya meat!!!” My Rating: 4.6


16. “Bitch”
Damn, almost six minutes for an ending song? >>> I dunno how much interest I’ll have in dis; sounds like Too $hort’s signature sayin’? Just like tha last song, I like how this iz descriptive, though, but this iz way too long… My Rating: 3.8


Overall: Not bad for a CD; at least this shit wasn’t bad or anything!
