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 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. If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or
talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01.
“Welcome To Tru City” Feat. Briel
Lemme
hear what y’all got goin’ on, here… >>> Interestin’ female vocal
start; nice hook! Nice shit comin’ from Rudye & IL, here; gotta give props
to tha quality of tha Southern rhymes! My
Rating: 4.4
02.
“Picture Me Tru” Feat. C-Murder & M-11
>>>
Nice start wit C on tha hook; it’s all about bein’ “a tru nigga.” :tu Got Rudye
startin’ off wit tha 1st part, comin’ through wit some great shit fa
tha streets of BR. Ooh, an actual
verse from C on tha 2nd verse; good shit comin’ from him, as always!
You know what it iz wit dat “tru”, gangsta shit! Got M-11 comin’ through on tha
3rd verse, deliverin’ a nice, consistent verse fa y’all and this
album! My Rating: 4.4
03.
“But U Luv It” Feat. Max Minelli
>>>
Really likin’ tha unique production, here; sounds like a castle and celetic
soldiers and warriors ‘bout ta battle, like in Final Fantasy VI, lol! Good hook
from Max, comin’ through wit his “double” method! IL Duce’s on tha 1st
verse, and he comin’ through wit a progression, when it comes from “startin’
from nothin’” to where he at now (and, even when this CD was released in early
2011)! Ooh, trap-type shit from Rudye on tha 2nd verse, comin’
through wit a full “plate” fa anyone
dat comes through, on tha block! My
Rating: 4.5
04.
“D.S.R.” Feat. Down Bad, Max Minelli, Derty & C-Murder
A.K.A.:
“Dumb”; lol, I already know what it iz wit this one! My Current Rating: 4.6
05.
“Slide It N”
>>>
Sounds like some ‘90s R&B-type start in tha beginning; a lil’ catchy, so far…
Beat sounds like it has a good vibe, here; nice, consistent shit from Duce on
tha 1st verse… Lol, Rudye gettin’ his sex game on, here, throughout
tha 2nd verse; gotta luv his perspective, lol!! My Rating: 4.2
06.
“Keep It Tru” Feat. Pennie
>>>
I remember this from one of my radio shows from a while ago; C-Murder randomly
on tha sample, but not on tha ID (just a sample). Tha hook sounds nice from
Pennie, here; got Rudye deliverin’ some PG-type shit fa tha ladies, this time,
lol. Either way, I enjoyed tha lyrics to tha previous joint betta, but this
still iz listenable… Got a 2 on tha 2nd verse…; lol, I’m just
playin’! You already know it’s Duce on tha 2nd verse, lol… Tha
rhymes ain’t too bad, either; not bad, overall. My Rating: 3.9
½time: A 4.3-rated CD, currently; that’s
pretty good, especially since y’all are consistent at all times!!!
07.
“A Lot Of Wayz”
Lol,
“alot” iz not a compound word! >>> Sounds like a familiar song? I know
I have heard this somewhere… I don’t remember where (I did clear most of my
iTunes library not too long ago), but this iz more consistent shit from 2
(lol)! Even Rudye comin’ through wit some crazy-ass shit; you know this shit’s undeniable, lyrically,
for tha streetz!! My Current Rating: 4.6
08.
“Gamer” Feat. Jason Lyric & Jonea Lyric
>>>
Lol, oh yea, I remember this from my radio show! You know what? This and tha
previous song was prolly from Rudye’s Gutta
Baby mixtape from 2010 that was sent to me! Oh, gotta compare tha ratings
so I’m not rating below! *Compares ratings* Lol, IL Duce
was tha only feature, but now, I got a list! Too bad I aired it on my radio
show without tha features listed! Or wait, this iz longer? Yup, it iz… *Hears
tha Lyric peoples’ parts* Ehh, prolly could’ve just left it as Rudye & IL
Duce… My Rating: 4.2
09.
“Yeah Nigga”
>>>
Beat’s a lil’ on tha quieter tip, for a start; rhymes are good from Duce, here.
Tha hook sounds pretty tight; I like those mysterious, quiet vocals wit tha
title bein’ said! Good job, IL; you held down tha 2nd verse, too… My Rating: 4.3
10.
“Raw”
>>>
Sounds like someone ‘bout ta rip someone’s head off wit that sample on tha
hook, lol! Not bad wit tha rhymes comin’ from Duce, here, on tha 1st
verse… However, it sounds like Rudye has some betta shit ta offer on tha 2nd
part of tha 1st verse; gotta feel his “raw” feelings, lol! Tha 2nd
verse starts wit IL Duce, and he’s got a bunch of goodbyez for these haters; nice and consistent, at its finest! Got
some Rudye on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse, too, comin’
through wit his non-stop “grind,” here! Thumbs up fa tha hood content, as well
as tha “cramp” line, lol. Got a 3rd verse, here, and it’s IL Duce
startin’ it off, wit some catchy rhymes! Lol, from tha “hourglass” to tha
“shittin’ on you niggaz,” I’m definitely feelin’ tha shit bein’ brought to tha
table, here! Ooh, Rudye’s comin’ through wit a lot of catchiness in tha
beginning of tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse! Really liked how
there wasn’t much of tha beat when he was deliverin’ some tight shit, but
either way, tha whole 2nd ½ of tha verse was nice! My Rating: 4.4
11.
“My Turn” (Briel)
>>>
More mysterious vocals comin’ through on tha hook? Briel’s voice? Really likin’
how it sounds! Oh, a lil’ ehh wit tha “Video Phone” quote; ehh, but it’s not
too bad, overall… Oh, this iz only tha female, here? Interestin’; a lil’ Faith
Evans-y-soundin’, on tha 2nd verse, which sounds like a lil’ bit of
sexiness iz here… My Rating: 3.3
12.
“Post & Lean”
>>>
Lol, tha volume’s so much louder than tha previous joint, lol! Feelin’ tha
hook, “post & lean” style! Got Rudye on tha 1st verse, here,
comin’ through fa all tha “bitches,” lol; nothin’ but luv comin’ from this way,
Rudye, as you already know what it iz! Some cash to start off tha 2nd
verse, here, wit IL Duce on tha verse… Feelin’ tha ‘feelin’-like-a-hotel’-type
vibe, Duce; catchiness in tha flow, too! My
Rating: 4.2
Overall: Nice CD, guys; y’all a
great, tri-combo team! Keep up tha great work, as y’all neva stop grindin’!!
