Review #1,641: X-Mob "Paper Chasing"

Reviewed on 2.09.2017 (Review #1,641)

X-Mob Paper Chasing’s my next review, outta Lake Charles, released in 1997 on Par-Le Records! Start Time: 3:07 PM | End Time: 4:04 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!

06. “Good Times” feat. Pimp C

I will give this a good review/rating, but I cannot tolerate this song, anymore, as of October 15, 2011!! I’m a lil’ better about it, now ‘cause of how stressful my job/life has been, lately, but listen: On October 15, 2011, I was with an artist from Baton Rouge, LA, that flew up to see me in PA. I played this on my radio show and that ‘artist’ (person, whateva you wanna call ‘em) threw $2,000 at me while I was filmin’ footage for my radio show’s episode. Right after that, dude robbed me outta $555 and it’s like, who in tha fuck wanna hear this?!? >>> Dope beat from Pimp; dope verses; vibin’, great-southern hook… My Rating: 4.3

07. “To Da Ballers” feat. E.B.W.D. & Mike G

Mannie Fresh doin’ tha beat! >>> Sounds like a catchy lil’ tune wit tha hook, here; decent beat for Mannie, tho… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice, here… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, keepin’ it movin’, slowly… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice ta make this continue… And, a 2^nd ½ of tha 3^rd verse, here, a lil’ more southern… Hmm…, I’m likin’ tha hook a lil’ betta, now, wit how tha beat sounds, in tha background… It’s like, hey, if “Good Times” can be a 4.3, why can’t this be, right?! My Rating: 4.3

½time: A consistent, dope lil’ southern CD fa tha south, here, as it’s a 4.3-rated CD!! Definitely gotta keep it movin’!!

08. “Changing Faces”

Joseph “Governor” Flowers on tha beat! >>> Sounds like an interestin’ beat, here; definitely feelin’ tha vibe! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice; great job!! Hearin’ tha hook and it gives me a weird, but excellent vibe that tha times are “changing!” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it sounds like a nice lil’ “Par-Le” party, here…! And, here’s tha 3^rd verse, here, keepin’ it movin’ in a nice way! My Rating: 4.4

09. “I-10”

Mannie Fresh track! >>> No intro needed! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice, here! Definitely feelin’ tha Mob’s perspective of tha south, here! Mannie did a nice job wit this beat, this time! Tha previous Mannie beat was decent, but this pure!! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s a pretty dope hook about “cocaine;” definitely dope, lol!

11. “Is U A G”

D-Wiz & T-Rex beat… >>> Anotha one wit no intro needed; definitely dope! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s a boss’ life, here! Feelin’ tha anthemic hook! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ nice wit this beat! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice, as well… Tha 3^rd verse iz soundin’ nice, here, as tha “Girbauds” are holdin’ it down, here! My Rating: 4.2
