Next
up in my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon,
I have a double disc! That’s right! TRU TRU 2 Da Game, released in 1997 on
No Limit Records & Priority Records! Let’s hope I can get some of this
review accomplished, here! Been up since 1:47 AM, worked 3:30 AM – 11:30 AM
& now, here I am!
Disc 1: Start Time: 11:38 AM | End Time: 12:43 PM
Disc 2: Start Time: 3:23 PM | End Time: 4:15 PM
Overall: Start Time: 11:38 AM | End Time: 4:15 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!

Me”, lol! Dope-ass hook! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from P and it’s dope,
especially wit this beat! Sounds like random rappin’ on tha 2nd

“Fedz” feat. Mia X

here… Ehh, this sounds too long… OMG, I have 3:00 to go and it’s 2:50 in! It
sounds like random yada-yada… I have no interest in tha rest of this shit,
right now… My Rating: 3.1
09.
“Smoking Green” feat. Mr. Serv-On
Mo
B. Dick, here! >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ intro, here… Sounds

high in [y’all] cadillac!” Definitely nice! Hearin’ tha 1st verse
from P and it’s a nice addiction to dat “green!” “We been smokin’ since ’83;”

pretty nice; gotta feel tha high vibe! My
Rating: 4.4

“The Lord Is Testin’ Me”
KLC!
>>> A nice lil’ slow beat, here, soundin’ good throughout tha 1st

“No Limit Soldiers (Club Mix)”

on tha length!! Diggin’ how rough P iz wit these lyrics, lol! Tha 2nd
verse sounds pretty nice, here; lol @ tha “Attention!!” It’s like, a whole six
years before Bone Crusher—wow, only six? Can’t believe “Never Scared”’s 14
years-old, now!! It’s a teenager!!! Tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ pretty
nice, too; what else can I say? This long-ass length makes me wanna say less
‘cause what else can I say, lol? Mia makin’ an appearance on this, holdin’ it
down, as well… My Rating: 4.3
13.
“Final Ride”
Endin’
it with a Craig B track! >>> Really feelin’ this title, dark-soundin’
beat and how P’s comin’ through on tha 1st verse, here! “I seen a
lil’ bitty baby suckin’ on daisies;” damn! Tha 2nd verse iz soundin’
nice, here! Crazy, like, “Which rapper gon be next?” Such a dope-ass hook!!
Crazy how tha most-recent one’s MC Nero and that I’ve been consistently
reviewin’ CDs, each day, since I did MC Nero’s Fool Whut You Talkin’ ‘Bout review, tha day before he died! Hearin’
tha 3rd verse and it’s pretty dope, here! Luvin’ all tha rhymes and
all tha rappers’ names, lol… We got tha 4th verse, here, and it’s
soundin’ pretty nice, as well… My
