Review #1,650: Boo-Ya Records "The Front Line"

Reviewed on 2.15.2017 (Review #1,650)


Had a really long and interestin’ day, yesterday! Can’t believe two people no longer are at my job, smh! Crazy shit! Here comes my next review in my marathon, from New Orleans: Boo-Ya Records The Front Line, released in 1998 on Boo-Ya Records! Start Time: 1:24 AM | End Time: 2:34 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!

01. Law “Intro To Boo-Ya”
>>> I’m diggin’ this mysterious, cool-soundin’ intro beat, here! Sounds like a nice lil’ creepy voice; good shit! My Rating: N/A


02. Dicheono & Law “Shame On You”
>>> Sounds like an undaground version of a No Limit-type beat, here? Sounds good in tha beginning… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and tha voice iz real laidback ta rap these street rhymes? Good shit… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds nice ta hear; can’t complain… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds good, as well… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse, here, keepin’ this gangsta shit comin’ along, through tha “alleyways!” That final verse iz some tight-ass shit wit this beat!! Definitely nice!! My Rating: 4.3


03. Slawterhouse “All In Me”
>>> Sounds decent wit this dark-soundin’ beat/tha keys in tha beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds like some good shit fa tha undaground, here, wit a lil’ slower flow… Pretty consistent wit tha rappin’, here… Seems like it neva ends but it ain’t bad ta have a long one, every now and then… My Rating: 4.0


04. Lick’em Shot feat. Law “Plottin’ On Millions”
>>> Sounds like a decent beat, here, with nice sounds in tha background… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and this shit sounds dope wit tha dark-soundin’ beat… As far as tha rest of this goes, this sounds nice, tha whole way! Great job wit tha track, y’all! My Rating: 4.2


05. Carnage feat. Law “Smoke”
>>> A decent beat, here, but I’m diggin’ tha “smoke” content… That hook’s pretty dope about all tha rollin’, smokin’, tokin’ & all that! Great track, y’all! Tha hook really sounded great fa this one! My Rating: 4.3


06. Dicheono & Law feat. Shy V “Only God Knows”
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ beat, here, as it sounds like it’s cold outside wit tha wind blowin’… Definitely nice ta hear, here, even tho I feel like it gon be a depressin’-like song fa tha struggle? Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s crazy to know that life ends, eventually! Hearin’ tha hook from this Shy V vocalist and yeah, it’s on tha struggle-like tip, here… I can’t say that it sounds like it’s not for me or anything but it sounds decent fa this CD… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ decent, here… My Rating: 3.6


07. Street Wise “My Disease Is Greed”
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ track, here; great start to tha 1st verse! Sounds like they’re ready fa tha rappin’! Tha hook’s pretty dope!! I’ll admit, I’m not crazy about money tracks but c’mon, this 1998, tha year after “Mo Money, Mo Problems” and all that! Gotta respect it from this era!! Hook’s so fuckin’ catchy wit this “disease” bein’ “greed!!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds nice and laidback wit tha rappin’; soundsn good, here! My Rating: 4.3


08. Dicheono “Off Top”
>>> A nice lil’ beat, here! Definitely tha shit, right chea! Has a lotta sounds and bouncin’ beats ta offer, here!! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and tha rhymes are pretty dope; good shit! Consistent rhymes wit tha “crystal” and “missle,” too! Hearin’ tha hook and it quick and simple, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ good ta hear, here… My Rating: 4.4


½time: This a dope lil’ CD, here; definitely feelin’ it! A 4.2-rated CD, so far! Y’all a great team and have great production on y’all CD, here!


09. Law “My Enemies”
>>> Sounds nice wit this hook and beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and Law holdin’ it down, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice wit tha way this flow sounds… It almost reminds me of Tupac wit how he says, “Enemies,” on tha hook… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds like Law an untamed beast, here! “My niggaz stay on like biceps;” fa’real?! Dope shit!! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ nice, still… My Rating: 4.1


10. Dicheono & Law “Beef”
>>> Anotha track that reminds me of an undaground version of a No Limit track or somethin’! Catchy lil’ hook, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ decent wit how we keepin’ it movin’ wit tha track, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse, here, and it sounds decent, as well… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse and it sounds dope as fuck wit tha both of y’all rappin’, back and forth, here! My Rating: 4.1


11. Law & Carnage “We Run That”

My Rating: 4.1


12. Lick’em Shot “Money Turns My Black Hands Green”
>>> Definitely a catchy lil’ beat, here! Tha keys are pretty pure and consistent as they’re consistently played, here! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds like dude focused; gotta feel it! If this was this generation of tha undaground rap scene, I’d thumbs-down tha “money” content ‘cause all of today’s shit’s bullshit! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice, here… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, and it sounds dope! We got tha 3rd verse up next and it sounds just as great, here; nice job! My Rating: 4.2


13. Carnage “Qué Sera Sera”
>>> Decent beat but I have ta admit, I’m actually diggin’ this Spanish vibe in tha 1st verse’s rappin’, here! Tha hook’s pretty catchy wit tha random thoughts of Spanglish, here… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, and it’s decent… I’ono, I don’t mind this, as far as a decent rating, but I’ont fuck wit tha Spanish shit… My Rating: 3.7


14. Dicheono & Law feat. Elliot Ness & Ice Nigga “‘Bout It”
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s not bad, here; energy at its finest, tho! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse’s pretty on-point, here! Definitely feelin’ all this energy! Rhymes were unstoppable and delivered in a quick way! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty dope, here! Hearin’ tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty nice, as well, strictly keepin’ it movin’! My Rating: 4.2


15. Slawterhouse “What Comes Around Goes Around”
>>> Decent lil’ beat fa tha undaground south, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s nice on this beat, here! Definitely feelin’ tha story about this hood life; good shit! Continuin’ at 1:51, soundin’ like someone breakin’ in wit a gun or somethin’! It’s startin’ ta get intense, here! Nice way ta end tha 1st verse and now, tha hook, soundin’ pretty dope! It’s true! “What comes around, goes around!” I’ve seen it happen! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty dope, here, as well! Pretty gutta at 3:51, here! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it’s soundin’ nice, as well! Pretty dope that Slawterhouse can handle a whole entire track that’s 6:37 long and I’m not bored!! My Rating: 4.2


16. Lick’em Shot, Ice Nigga, Dicheono & Law “When We Ride”
>>> Sounds good, here, on tha hook and beat… Tha 1st verse’s soundin’ nice ta hear, here… As far as tha hook, it’s dope as fuck! “Late night ride;” you know!! “Fuckin’ right!!” That’s what I’m ‘bout all tha time!! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice, here… A lot more laidback than tha 1st verse and hook, but it’s still nice… Tha 2nd verse started ta get a lil’ more rowdy, here, on tha flow/voice and it’s definitely on-n-poppin’, here! My Rating: 4.3


17. Lick’em Shot, Street Wise, Dicheono & Slawterhouse “My Block’s Hot”
>>> Beat’s decent ta end this shit off, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s decent, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s nice; I’m feelin’ tha street content, of course! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty nice, as well… And, we got tha 3rd verse, here, keepin’ it movin’! A 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse, as well, keepin’ this shit movin’ like it’s nothin’! Dope shit! My Rating: 4.2


Overall: I thought this was a dope lil’ CD fulla Boo-Ya Records artists! Great job, y’all! Y’all brought that unknown, underground feelin’ to tha scene, here! Gotta luv it! Always gotta keep it movin’ to tha fullest, ya dig?!
