Review #975: Critical Condition "CC Waterbound"

Reviewed on 6.07.2011 (Review #975)

This iz my 2^nd review for tha day: Morgan City’s Critical Condition “CC Waterbound”, signed wit Starvin’ Artists Entertainment; gotta feel tha album title! Start Time: 6:05 PM | End Time: 6:30 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.

Let’s hear what ya got! >>> Very low volume, lol? Sounds like it gon be a hot CD; props ta bein’ a group!! My Rating: N/A

Ooh, looks like an interestin’ collaboration! >>> LOL @ tha “Thibadoux” destination; sounds like it gon be interestin’!! LOL, tha hook sounds hella tight; feelin’ tha “daaaannn” shit, lol! Reminds me of my boy K-Chill, on tha current side! Catchy song wit tha rhymes y’all bringin’ to tha table ova this beat dat sounds like one of Mase’s hit songs! My Rating: 4.3

03. “Creepin’” Feat. Pimp C

Looks like somethin’ tight, here! >>> What’s up wit tha fade-in intro? “Fresh out tha parish;” time ta kick some ass, which I’m hearin’!! This hook iz pretty nice; Morgan City vs. Texas, here, soundin’ nice. Tha whole topic of “creepin’” iz definitely nice ta hear; gotta add dat creepyness, lol. Tha hook’s soundin’ betta tha more I’m hearin’ it as well as how y’all comin’ through on dis! Pimp C sounds good on tha 3^rd verse; you know what it iz wit him! My Rating: 4.2

04. “CC Waterbound” Feat. Mo B Dick

A self-titled song, lol? This should be interestin’! >>> A lil’ bit of dat G-Funk, here; I like how tha hook’s soundin’, ya dig? It’s all about representin’ fa dat “CC Waterbound” to tha fullest! Tha rhymes are pretty catchy; feelin’ tha tightness…! Nothin’ wack ‘bout tha ‘90s, especially tha undaground! Tha 2^nd verse almost gives me a Tupac feel, lol; good shit… Tha 3^rd verse iz on some good-type of gangsta shit; keep shit poppin’! Endin’ it wit a breakdown of singin’? Good combo… My Rating: 4.4

05. “Hood Card” Feat. Dolby D

Dolby D on tha feature again; let’s get devious, lol! >>> Nice intro; gave me some anticipation fa dis joint! Ooh, beat’s nice and tha vocals sound tight ta give dis a good vibe! This iz a great collaboration; I like tha whole dark vibe as well as keepin’ it gutta at all times!! My Rating: 4.3

06. “Lookin’ Down The Barrel” Feat. Mo B Dick & Grimm

>>> Sounds like a regular, good joint, here, fa tha ‘90s; nice deliveries wit consistent rhymes and a good hook, G-Funk style! My Rating: 4.2

½time: Very good CD; ratings are only between 4.2 and 4.4, leadin’ tha CD rating at a 4.3, currently!!!

07. “Playa Haters”

>>> This sounds good, too; anotha nice vibe fa tha ‘90s… Y’all got shit on lock when it comes ta rappin’; glad y’all can rap! Tha hook’s pretty tight; I like tha mixin’ in tha background as well as tha “playa haters” theme! Tha content’s only gettin’ betta; keep dis shit up!! My Rating: 4.1

08. “Dope & Money”

Looks good… >>> Nice, slow, gangsta-soundin’ beat, here! Tha rhymes are definitely nice as well as tha good hook about “dope & money;” you know what it iz when it comes ta dis tight-soundin’ music fa tha undaground! My Rating: 4.4

09. “All This Dick” Feat. Mo B Dick

LOL, a “dick” in tha title and a Dick on tha feature; odd, lol… >>> An intro dat sounds good fa dis joint. Anyway, a lil’ too much “dick” goin’ on, here? Mo B Dick takin’ ova a bunch of tha intro? Sounds too much like an R&B joint… Catchy song wit catchy lyrics but it’s kinda long fa an R&B song on a good, Rap CD. LOL, I’m feelin’ tha outro wit tha girl’s orgasm! My Rating: 3.5

10. “10-2-20 (Angola Mix)”

Iz this a date? What iz this number? >>> Tha beginning of tha 1^st verse sounds catchy wit dis good-soundin’, Hip-Hop beat wit tha good rhymes… Oh, “10-2-20” iz how many years y’all facin’ in jail? Damn, must be rough but it’s a great song; thumbs up fa all tha great rhymes fa tha hood! My Rating: 4.0

11. “4 Real Niggaz Posse” Feat. Aldon X, Shorty & Dolby D

Looks interestin’ wit tha features; call ‘em a “posse”, lol. >>> Beat’s okay, once again; serves tha greatness fa ‘90s, undaground Hip-Hop. Tha rhymes are good, too, but tha hook’s soundin’ betta than tha 1^st verse; good energy/sounds like an anthem! Ooh, tha 2^nd verse sounds good; definite plus wit tha drug content and tha delivery!! Tha 3^rd verse iz motivational, too; guess shit’s just gettin’ betta? I think tha 2^nd verse iz currently tha best; let’s see what happens wit tha rest of dis… Tha 4^th verse iz pretty nice, too; thumbs up ta tha good, tryna-hang-in-there content! I’m also feelin’ how y’all expressin’ how tha “white man” tryna fuck ya life up; fuck them, continue ta do you! Ooh, a 5^th verse and it’s competin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, in my opinion; great delivery wit content ta go wit it!! My Rating: 4.3

12. “Outro (Critical Condition) / ‘Bout 2 Go Down (Screwed Version)”

A really-long outro wit 6:13 on tha length? >>> Yea, I’m glad, too, dat y’all did tha damn thang together!! Oh, sounds like a hidden song afta tha outro? What’s this? Ooh, a Screwed version of “’Bout 2 Go Down”! I think I liked tha original a lil’ betta but this fits perfect fa tha greatness this CD brought to tha table! My Rating: 4.2

Overall: Good job; would’ve been a five-star-rated CD if dat R&B song wasn’t here but that doesn’t mean dat it was bad or anything. I’m readin’ online dat y’all all still servin’ time? Dat sux; guess tha “10-2-20” was a rough, real thing ta come inta play? :cry
