Review #1,069: L.A. Tre "Summer Storm Vol. 2: Hurricane Season"

Reviewed on 8.26.2011 (Review #1,069)


Next up, L.A. Tre Summer Storm Vol. 2: Hurricane Season. Start Time: 12:18 PM | End Time: 12:39 PM


Disclaimer: 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 already love it. 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.

© 2011 CD Review (Review #1,069) reviewed on 8.26.2011 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “I’m Back”
>>> Not too bad for a start; seems like you’re really focused. Damn, slangin’ shit, too? Wonder if you remember date and time of when you first slanged some shit? That would be interestin’… Good job wit tha catchy rhymes goin’ on, here. My Rating: 3.8


02. “Re-Introduction”
>>> Sounds like you’re defeatin’ an enemy, easily? LOL, kickin’ ass, here… Nice job wit tha rhymes, once again. My Rating: 3.9


03. “Times Gettin’ Hard”
>>> Not tha kinda beat I’d rap on but tha rhymes are decent… My Rating: 3.2


04. “Back To That Murder Shit!”
LOL @ tha exclamation point! >>> Oh, I didn’t realize it was cliché/already in use for tha title… When did you get this gangsta? Plus, if you’re this gangsta, where’s tha attitude? You should add some anger; aren’t you angry at someone? :confused My Rating: 3.4


05. “For The Hood”
>>> A lil’ too much like Wayne on tha voice, here? Actually, rhymes are pretty consistent, wit quality! Nice job wit tha rappin’, here! My Rating: 4.0


06. “Money Right” Feat. J-Hitta
>>> Now, you sound a lil’ like Drake, here… I like this representation of doin’ “it for tha block;” good shit! Was that J-Hitta in tha beginning? This sounds more like you on tha 2nd verse; good collab, includin’ tha gangsta shit, again, lol. My Rating: 3.7


07. “Hate Me”
>>> Sounds like I can dig this; I’m feelin’ tha catchiness between tha beat you chose, and how you handlin’ tha hook. I’m into tha rhymes, too; even though this iz a lil’ long, it’s not that bad ta deal wit… My Rating: 3.8


08. “I Think I’m Bill Gates”
Then, you think you have Autism or Asperger’s? BTW, there were two #8s; wasn’t sure which one was #8 & #9… >>> No interest in tha rhymes, unfortunately; don’t even see where tha title comes into play, too. My Rating: 1.8


09. “Serious”
>>> Lil’ too long of an intro for a short song… Slowly losin’ interest wit some of tha typical shit goin’ on… “My niggaz got pounds;” what’s it like ta hang wit drug dealers? Date & time of first encounter? My Rating: 2.8


½time: Not that bad…; a 3.4 for tha CD rating, right now.


10. “I’m On”
>>> This sounds aight; I can feel it, a lil’… My Rating: 3.5


11. “Look At Me Now Flow”
>>> Sounds good wit how you’re handlin’ this beat; nice job! My Rating: 4.1


12. “Mixtape Creature”
LOL? What about album? I think “mixtape”s are pretty outdated, now! >>> This iz as consistent as tha previous freestyle! My Rating: 4.2


13. “Scared Money” Feat. J-Hitta
Why iz it scary? :confused Actually, it’s scary when people talk about it constantly in their music! >>> Kinda boring and on a typical note, figures… Unfortunately, it sounds like I’m listenin’ to a typical rapper? J-Hitta’s on tha 2nd verse and it’s a touch better, but that’s about it. My Rating: 2.4


14. “Make It Rain” (Silk & Tre)
Who’s tha other dude? >>> Of course, pretty homosexual wit this beat, in this dumb-ass 2010s generation! I like these random lyrics in tha 1st verse, from “nuttin’” to “weed,” lol? Even tha 2nd verse sounds random, but good, too. My Rating: 3.1


15. “Cypher” (J-Hitta & L.A. Tre)
Combo? I think I got tha title right… >>> Decent; nothin’ ta say. My Rating: 3.0


16. “People Change Up”
Where’s tha “up” comin’ from? >>> This iz really long; don’t think I can handle it… Your voice sounds a lil’ lower, here, or iz that tha beat and you, combined? Oh, I hear tha hook, now; it’s true… Tha difference between others and myself iz that I evolved: hated bein’ 20, 21 & ½ of 22! Now that I’m 23, I get to care about myself and myself only! My Rating: 2.7


17. “Hard In The Paint Flow”
>>> Anotha one wit a longer length? Three minutes seems too long for a jacked beat, smh. LOL @ all this drug shit; I dunno how much I can take it serious, no offense. I guess I’m lookin’ for an attitude? You sound tha same on most of these tracks… “Nutted in her face” …; “one clip to his head” …; “rollin’ up some weed” …; “we makin’ love” …; “I struggled at a young age;” you see what I’m sayin’? Well, there’s a lil’ bit of anger, at least. My Rating: 2.5


18. “We Back” Feat. Gutta & Smeech
>>> Was gonna “WTF?” at tha Tupac in tha beginning but it’s “Tupac Back”, so it’s an exception. LOL, surprised you know about this song, already… Overall, tha rappin’ iz random for me; nothin’ bad, but nothin’ good, either. My Rating: 2.6


Overall: Not tha worst, but nothin’ excitin’, except #11 & 12.
