Time
fa my 3rd review for today! I’m not sure how many I gon get into
today, since I gotta prepare an upcoming tribute video fa G-Slimm, who passed
away 20 years ago on October 13, 1996! Speakin’ of 1996, here comes my next
review: Smoke 1 Click Ruff, Rugid & Raw, released in
1996 on Smoke 1 Records & was produced by tha late, great Tre-8! Start Time: 11:15 AM | End Time: 11:33 AM
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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your
vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

“Hold On”
>>> Tha hook sounds nice with tha “holdin’;” good shit. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty good ta hear; nice story “in tha hood!” Yeah, even tho this was two decades ago, this current generation (2010’s) really sucks! It’s tha peeps like us that have to keep tha quality continuin’!! With that bein’ said, we have more ta offer on tha 1st verse, as tha 2nd dude keeps this shit goin’; nice job! I’m definitely likin’ tha 2nd verse a whole lot!! “You can always smoke some reefa wit yo niggz;” luv it!! Just luv this quality, undaground, dark music!!! Definitely likin’ tha 3rd verse, too! Seemed shorter than tha 2nd verse but it did tha damn thang! My Rating: 4.5
