Review #1,633: The Notorious Outlaw Jako James feat. The James Gang "Fully Automatic"

Reviewed on 2.07.2017 (Review #1,633)


Keepin’ it goin’ wit my next review: Outta Shreveport, it’s The Notorious Outlaw Jako James feat. The James Gang Fully Automatic, released in 1997 on Ponomo Records! Start Time: 1:52 AM | End Time: 2:46 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!

11. “Natural Born Killa (Remix)”
Goin’ wit a Dale Harris beat, here… >>> A Jamaican-type track, here, on tha vocals… Kinda catchy, but kinda bleh, on tha 1st verse… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s good, as always… And, we got tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ good… Tha rest of this ain’t bad, but at least it qualifies for a 4.0! My Rating: 4.0
