Review #1,597: Byrd "Hate Me Cuz U Luv Me"

Reviewed on 11.14.2016 (Review #1,597)

Here comes anotha review! Almost at 1,600 reviewz, overall! Byrd Hate Me Cuz U Luv Me, released last year on Square Bizness Only & Road Runners; this was produced by B-Real (or, was it tha actual song, which I see here?)!! Start Time: 7:30 PM | End Time: 7:47 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!

01. “Gettin’ To The Paper” feat. Young Greatness

Not anticipatin’ tha feature or this title… >>> Sounds like a pretty serious beat intro, here… As you say, “This iz a Q-Red beat;” nice! Thought this CD was produced by B-Real, since that’s what it says on tha cover of this CD. However, I guess it’s just tha song, which iz up next…? Hearin’ tha hook and even tho this shit really ain’t fa me, I have ta say, good anthemic shit! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and you spittin’ some jammin’ shit, here; nice! Greatness on tha 2^nd verse and ehh, he random; I don’t fuck wit his “Moolah” bullshit—ugh! He said, “Moolah,” when I wrote, “Moolah,” smh! My Rating: 3.7

02. “Hate Me Cuz U Luv Me”

B-Real beat, if so? >>> I luv how you had to give him a shout out in tha beginning, vs. tha previous CD that he mysteriously appeared… Ugh!! His beat sounds are gettin’ to me!! Too bad we live in a fantasy world of talking!! Feelin’ how you comin’ through on tha 1^st verse! I like how this B-Real beat sounds a lil’ like Jeezy material or somethin’; good shit fa what’s undaground! I know tha title says, “Hate Me Cuz You Love”, but I just gon go with tha front cover and title it, “Hate Me Cuz U Luv Me”! With that bein’ said, tha hook’s pretty catchy. I know there have been better B-Real tracks out there, but this still has its quality! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ like you holdin’ your top down; nice! Gotta top an abandoned water tower, right? That’s tha feelin’ I get when I hear shit like this, such as you holdin’ it down! My Rating: 4.2

03. “On Everything”

>>> Heh! Anotha B-Real beat! Two-play! I bet this one gon be betta! Sounds like playin’ dice or gamblin’ in tha beginning, here… I think I might’ve liked tha previous B-Real beat betta. This still has a mainstream feel to it and it loses its Baton Rouge/Louisiana touches… Hearin’ tha hook and it ain’t too bad; decent… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ good; nothin’ much ta say… Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad, here, even tho I’ve heard better from you… To me, most of this sounds kinda random… My Rating: 3.7

½time: So far, not too bad with tha B-Real & Q-Red-produced tracks… A 3.9-rated CD, currently; leggo!

04. “Litework” feat. Kevin Gates

Ehh, ahh, lol! Q-Red did tha beat… My Current Rating: 4.3

05. “Head Down”
Q-Red beat; you kept my top-rated on tha Possession With Intent review! My Current Rating: 4.4

06. “Don’t Get It Twisted” feat. Hot Boy Turk & B-Real
>>> First thing I said when I heard tha voice in tha beginning was, “Fuck that hater at my job!!!” B-Real on tha hook!!! He not credited but I love when he comes through as a surprise!! Excellent with how it sounds, EXCEPT when he mentions, “A nigga got his cash up!” You on tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through wit some nice shit! Definitely nice! This beat’s definitely jammin’ as fuck, too! Prolly a B-Real beat, since he on tha hook! Hearin’ Turk on tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty nice; gutta shit, here! Seems like it’s short, but it’s definitely fulla sweetness!! This sounds much betta fa a B-Real track than those two otha tracks from this CD! My Rating: 4.5

07. “Clutchin’” feat. Bankroll Fresh & Scotty Cain

Teamed up with Fresh before he died… >>> Endin’ it with a Q-Red beat; sounds like it gon be good! Nice job with tha hook, here, holdin’ shit down, “100!” Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and you got this G-shit on lock, here; dumb shit! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and, again, why Scotty Cain ahead of tha features? If Bankroll died, I bet he woulda automatically been past Scotty on tha feature, but tha uploader ain’t even believe in Bankroll, at tha time! With that bein’ said, it sounds like a nice feature fa me barely hearin’ him…; good shit… Now, endin’ it with Scotty on tha 3^rd verse and it sounds good, too; nice set of features! My Rating: 4.1

Overall: No bullshit, here, luckily! Hated all that auto-tune on tha previous CD! For a short CD, it was definitely worth it! Only things that knocked down tha rating was tha money-like rhymes, this time!
