Review #1,647: Big Tymers "How You Luv That"

Reviewed on 2.12.2017 (Review #1,647)

Here comes my next review! I have tha sequel as my review after this one, so we’ll see how these go! Big Tymers How You Luv That, released in 1998 on Cash Money Records & was produced by Mannie Fresh, himself! For those that don’t know, even tho it a no-brainer, Big Tymers are Baby (Birdman) & Mannie Fresh! Start Time: 1:40 AM | End Time: 2:50 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!

>>> Sounds dope wit Wayne on tha 1^st verse, here, ova this Cash Money-like beat… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds like what made err-body cool, from tha south, here, wit how Wayne sounds! Gotta luv it! Hearin’ Bun B on tha 2^nd verse and he doin’ tha damn thang fa this track, here…! Baby on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit them ‘undefeatable’ rhymes, and tha ‘undefeatable’ means tha celebrity status! My Rating: 4.3

03. “Stun’n”

>>> Sounds like a more-positive vibe, as far as how this beat sounds? Hearin’ Fresh on tha 1^st verse and he sound good, even rockin’ tha “Girbauds,” too…! Hearin’ tha hook from Baby and it sounds nice ta stunn, here… Hearin’ Baby on tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ good ta hear, as well… Keepin’ it movin’ wit Fresh on tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ like a catchy verse, too… Endin’ it wit a Baby outro, here, all about tha “drinking,” here…! My Rating: 4.1

04. “Tear It Up” feat. B.G. & Lil’ Wayne
>>> Decent lil’ beat, here, as B. Gizzle spits some nice shit on tha 1^st verse, here, fa dem baby gangstaz! Splittin’ it up wit Wayne on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 1^st verse, here, soundin’ nice… “Make ‘em sick like a bad cold;” nice, Wayne! Fresh holdin’ down a catchy hook, here, wit how this sounds as a club banga, here…! “Bad-ass, mad-ass,” here, on tha 2^nd verse from Fresh; dope shit…! Still rockin’ his “Girbauds,” just a few songs later! My Rating: 4.2

05. Phone Call

>>> Lol, “naked pictures” style on tha skit, here… My Rating: N/A

06. “How U Luv That” feat. Lil’ Wayne & Juvenile
>>> A decent, but somewhat-dry beat, here… Hearin’ Fresh on tha 1^st verse and it sounds decent… Catchy lil’ simple hook from Wayne, here, soundin’ decent… Keepin’ it movin’ wit Baby on tha 2^nd verse, here, doin’ a decent job fa dem “alligator pillow cases,” here, ya dig, lol?! Nice job stayin’ fresh, Birdman! An uncredited Juve on tha 3^rd verse, here? Sounds nice ta hear, here… My Rating: 4.0

07. “Cutlass, Monte Carlos & Regals” feat. Lil’ Wayne & Juvenile

>>> Anotha decent-soundin’ beat, here… Hearin’ Fresh on tha 1^st verse and it sounds okay, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds a lil’ catchy wit them car names…; good shit… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty nice from Wayne, showin’ off in a teenage way, lol…! Keepin’ it movin’ wit Baby on tha 3^rd verse, here, showin’ off in a celebrity-like way… And, a 2^nd ½ of tha 3^rd verse from Juve, here, showin’ off, as well! My Rating: 4.1

08. “Millionaire Dream” feat. Lil’ Wayne & Cadillac
>>> Sounds like a catchy track, a lil’… Decent beat wit Wayne rappin’ on tha 1^st verse, here, soundin’ aight… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s soundin’ decent fa this “millionaire dream,” here… An unknown feature on tha 2^nd verse, here? Almost thought it was VL Mike… Baby? Either way, whoeva it iz (Cadillac), it sounds decent wit how they’re holdin’ it down, here… Lol @ how Weezy says, “Bling!” Sound effects that later became fuckin’ “bling bling!” Now, we got Baby on tha 3^rd verse, here, continuously on his mission… Got a 4^th verse from Fresh, here, continuously rhymin’ tha beginning of tha verse and then, it’s more of a random set of words/themes? My Rating: 3.8

½time: Soundin’ pretty nice and consistent, here, as far as a Cash Money vibe, here… A 4.1-rated CD; let’s keep it movin’!

09. “Beautiful”
>>> This has more of a West Coast vibe to it, here, soundin’ decent… Hearin’ tha beginning/hook and it sounds sassy, I guess? Fresh on tha 1^st verse, here (I consider it tha 1^st verse, not 2^nd, right?) and it’s decent, here… Kinda sounds like it’s draggin’, as far as tha rest goes… I’ono, but not every single song gotta be at least four minutes long! My Rating: 3.2

10. “Ballin’” feat. Bun B

>>> Decent start, so far, as far as tha beat and Baby’s 1^st verse goes… I’ono about this hook, tho; just a computer voice? Anyway, Fresh comin’ through on tha 2^nd verse, showin’ off in a balla’s way, here… Even got Mr. B on tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ betta than y’all on this wit his consistent rhymin’, here… My Rating: 3.5

11. “Top Of Tha Line Nigga” feat. Lil’ Wayne

>>> Got Wayne doin’ tha 1^st verse, here, soundin’ decent/good… Tha beat pretty catchy, here, wit tha keys, too… Hearin’ tha hook from y’all and y’all got this on lock, here; good shit… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from Baby and it’s pretty nice, as well… Y’all joinin’ in and it’s soundin’ nice fa tha contributions, here… My Rating: 3.6

12. “Suga & Pac, Puff & Big (6 Fig)” feat. B.G. & Lil’ Wayne

>>> A lil’ jammin’, here, soundin’ nice ta hear… B-Gizzle on tha 1^st verse, here, doin’ him; sounds good… Got tha hook, here, and it sounds nice… A mysterious, uncredited voice on tha hook, here? Wayne? Either way, pretty catchy… We got Baby on tha 2^nd verse, I know that… He sounds decent; what else iz new, sometimes? Tha rest of this ain’t bad… It almost sounds random when I hear things named, at times? Tha flow, I mean… My Rating: 4.2

EDIT: Actually, I somehow missed rating this and had to rate it a day later!!!

13. Preppy Pimp

>>> In tha mist of err-thang, here comes a lil’ interlude/skit, soundin’ nice fa tha bed! I actually witnessed seein’ some bed action, yesterday, wit a lesbian in tha house, too! Crazy! Gotta luv it, sometimes! My Rating: N/A

14. “Broads”

>>> Sounds decent, even tho I ain’t expect a laidback-soundin’ beat… Hearin’ how y’all comin’ through wit tha hook and it’s decent, here, but ya gotta feel tha “broads,” sometimes… Fresh comin’ through wit some decent shit on tha 1^st verse, here… Got Baby on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit nearly tha same vibe as how Fresh came wit tha 1^st verse… My Rating: 3.4

15. “Try’n 2 Make A Million” feat. Juvenile

>>> Sounds decent, here, wit Juve on tha 1^st verse on this beat… Hearin’ tha hook from Juve and it sounds pretty catchy, here, wit how he delivers it… “Whooo…” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from Baby and he rockin’ tha “Girbauds,” this time; good shit! Hearin’ tha hook again and it sounds even betta wit how Juve has a catchier, more-Jamaican-like voice? Definitely feelin’ it! Fresh on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit some decent shit—decent… My Rating: 3.9

16. “Drivin’ ‘Em” feat. Larell & Lil’ Wayne

>>> Fresh on tha 1^st verse, here, and he’s holdin’ it down on this beat… Baby on tha hook, here, soundin’ good… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha Baby-rapped 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ nice… That Larell dude’s on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 2^nd verse, here, reppin’ fa dem Gz, of course…! Here comes Wayne on tha 3^rd part of tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ like a real gangsta, here, like, a real young one, lol… Definitely feelin’ this Wayne, of course! My Rating: 4.0

17. Outro

>>> Decent lil’ beat ta end this off… Lol, Fresh, they really “passin’ out jointz?” That’s a bonus, right?!

Overall: Seemed like a great 1^st ½, but a decent 2^nd ½? Split it up but it turned out to be betta than usual, overall… Only 4.3 was my highest rating?
