Review #1,658: C-Murder "Life Or Death"

Reviewed on 2.22.2017 (Review #1,658)


Today gon be an eerie day… It’s that day, again! February 22! If you know me, you can ask about it! For now, let’s use tha eerieness for this next, eerie review: C-Murder Life Or Death, released in 1998 on No Limit Records & Priority Records! Ironic title, too; who woulda guessed?! Start Time: 1:45 AM | End Time: 3:05 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!
