Keep It Gangsta Vol. 2! Start
Time: 2:29 PM | End Time: 2:59 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 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!

“Intro”
>>>
Thought it would just be an intro, but good job wit this beat and tha real-life
rappin’. My Rating: 4.3
02.
“Casket Drop”
>>> Catchy hook, and tha beat sounds nice… Good job wit tha rhymes, too, holdin’ it down! My Rating: 4.2

“G-Nikes”

04.
“Grinda”
>>>
Thought I heard this already? Too Kevin Gates-ish for me, especially in tha
hook; big turn-off! My Rating: 2.7
05.
“I’mma Hustla”
>>> Sounds good for tha south, between tha beat and your rhymes… My Rating: 3.9
>>> Sounds good for tha south, between tha beat and your rhymes… My Rating: 3.9

“Roll Wit Me” Feat. Adlib
>>>
Good collaboration, even havin’ a whole verse from Adlib. A good song, overall…
My Rating: 4.1
07.
“Street Life” Feat. T-Dogg
>>>
Catchy hook from T-Dogg. Thumbs up fa tha content and how you comin’ through fa
tha south, here. My Rating: 4.0
08.
“Phone Steady Ranging”
>>> X-Fyle beat; tha intro iz why I wanna get outta this music biz ASAP: “not answering tha phone.” Perfect song to piss me off; as depressed as I’ve been, why am I listenin’ to this right now? Catchy song, either way. My Rating: 4.2

“Now They Know”
>>> Stupid sampled hook… Beat iz only okay, although at least it’s southern… This barely passes tha okay mark fa me ‘cause it’s a lil’ boring, overall. My Rating: 3.3

10.
“Long Wolf” Feat. Chen & Trouble
>>>
Good beat and an okay hook; not really into tha white/Eminem-soundin’ voice on
tha hook. It sounds like a good collaboration, overall. Gonna see what it’s
gonna take for me to get into this, better… Tha verses slowly get better,
especially wit your verse, a lil’ bit. My
Rating: 3.6
½time: So far, this sounds like
a good CD; a 3.9-rated
CD…
11.
“Main Event”
>>> X-Fyle beat. Sounds like a classic-soundin’, BR-type joint wit tha delivery. I dunno why this would be 4:43; a lil’ too long? Oh wait, this an album, luckily; would’ve been too long for a mixtape. My Rating: 4.3

“Thug Motivation”
>>> Nice, shorter length… Good lyrics about your “daddy,” as well as tha beat. Overall, this sounds like a nice lil’ joint that you can’t complain about… My Rating: 4.0

“‘Bout That” Feat. Mookie Da Hustla, Dutch Shoats & Nu$$ie
Didn’t
I hear this before? Why are tha features different? >>> Took tha
Nu$$ie part from Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2:
Ghetto Pass; how’d you know about that? If you know about that, you would know who’s **name** iz said at tha end, right? Anyway, whether this iz a
recycled version of your older song of tha same title or not, this sounds like
tha best song on this CD, so far. Tha beat’s that nice, Baton Rouge-type
produced shit, and these different rappers are holdin’ this down. My Rating: 4.6
14.
“SpotLight” Feat. B.T.
>>>
Anotha cool beat start…; tha hook sounds simple, but real catchy wit this beat!
Tha verses are pretty nice here, too! Anotha one of tha top-rated songs on this
CD fa me! Tha 2nd verse iz pretty good, but a major turn-off wit tha
“blowin’ money” start! Luckily, tha rest of tha verse has a lot ta offer. My Rating: 4.4
15.
“Come Back” Feat. T-Dogg
>>>
Boring for me wit this slow tempo and long
length, once again… Some of tha rhymes are okay, when they’re explicit, but are
boring, otherwise. My Rating: 3.0
16.
“Make That Money” Feat. Lil’ D, Chrishawn & Flonotti
>>>
Sounds like everyone’s born in tha ‘90s, here; why am I even bothering with a
“money” song, anyway? Most-mainstream song on this CD, smh! My Rating: 2.5
17.
“Rap Hustlin’” Feat. B.T., G-Money & Savage Sosa
>>>
Sounds like a classic-soundin’ BR beat, here. Tha hook’s a lil’ bullshitty wit
tha “money” shit, like tha last song, but let’s hope tha verses can not
disappoint… Tha verses sound good; iz dat Young Bleed toward tha end? Error? My Rating: 4.1
18.
“Always Hustle” Feat. Young Bleed
>>>
Now, we’re hearin’ Bleed and this sounds like a good collaboration… Why does
your sound on tha 1st verse sound familiar, Dumaine? Thought I
would’ve heard you sound like this before, between tha voice and flow…? My Rating: 4.0
19.
“No Club Song” Feat. Mookie Da Hustla, Filty Rich, Jo-Nate & Dutch Shoats
Stupid
title… >>> Because of tha amount of features, I would assume tha
longer length iz called for, here… Good collaboration between err-body, here,
wit tha beat, even though it just sounds like a big freestyle… Great job wit
tha gutta lyrics, err-body… My Rating: 4.2
20.
“I Want Let U Down”
>>>
Pathetic start; would luv to skip!!
Overall, tha rappin’ iz good, but tha hook? I rather not comment! My Rating: 2.6
21.
“I’m Still Here”
>>> Endin’ wit a regular-soundin’ song; not bad. My Rating: 3.7
>>> Endin’ wit a regular-soundin’ song; not bad. My Rating: 3.7

keep up tha good work!
