Review #1,570: G"sta" "Misery: Eternal 4 Life"

Reviewed on 10.05.2016 (Review #1,570)

Here comes anotha review: G“sta” Misery: Eternal 4 Life, released in 1997 on So Stimulus Entertainment & Eternal 4 Life Records! Start Time: 5:47 PM | End Time: 6:22 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 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!

>>> Ain’t expect tha Myla chick ta rap… Hearin’ her on tha 1^st verse and I’ono about her, 100%. I think she would sound betta on a bounce track than a gangsta track… Tha hook’s kinda catchy fa it just sayin’, “We be ridin’, we be ridin’…” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from you and this sounds betta… Ehh, more of this Myla chick on tha 3^rd verse; yada-yada-yada… And, you decided ta pop up on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 3^rd verse, here, keepin’ it goin’… My Rating: 3.8

08. “I Can Feel Ya Pain”
>>> Not feelin’ tha background vocals in tha beginning wit dat “pain,” but this beat nice… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ okay; expressin’ time… Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ aight, here; can’t complain… Tha 3^rd verse keeps this goin’, too… My Rating: 3.5

09. “Deadly Streetz” feat. Chill Will K
>>> Beat sounds nice and dark/jammin’; good shit on tha 1^st verse, here… I know I done heard this before, but I’m not sure where… Maybe, I radio-edited it? Not sure… Either way, excellent hook; great collab!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds like a different voice quality, here… I’ono why, but that voice sounds like/reminds me of Nu$$ie!

12. “Misery”
>>> Tha beat’s pretty upbeat and sounds nice, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice, too… Tha hook sounds nice, as it’s uplifting… Sounds like it’s a long hook, here… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ nice, as well… My Rating: 4.0
