Review #1,673: Ghetto Commission "Wise Guys"

Reviewed on 3.09.2017 (Review #1,673)


Happy 43rd day in a row of reviewin’ CDs!! Ugh, just gettin’ up, as usual… My next review: Ghetto Commission Wise Guys, released in 1998 on No Limit Records & Priority Records! Start Time: 1:53 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!

01. “I’m A Soldier” feat. Master P & Mystikal
Carlos Stephens & O’Dell on this track… >>> Sounds pretty nice wit this hook, even tho it remakes Bon Jovi? Still, I think that’s catchy, in a way—a dude’s way! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from y’all, just holdin’ shit down! All y’all really got shit on lock, here! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice, but not like how all y’all came through on tha 1st verse, tho… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it’s pretty nice, too; what else to say? This was good, but that Bon Jovi-soundin’ hook has to be a big guilty pleasure for me!! My Rating: 4.0


02. “Get ‘Em Up” feat. Fiend & Prime Suspects
KLC beat… >>> Tha hyped-up kinda anthem I’d wanna hear, here; energetic-soundin’ hook, here! Y’all collaboratin’ wit tha 1st verse, here; nice collaboration! A true, No Limit-soundin’ anthem, here! Now, I know why all customers be like to me, “How do you have so much energy this early in tha morning?!” Hyped-up 2nd verse, here; y’all doin’ tha damn thang! And, y’all keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse, too; can’t deny it! My Rating: 4.2


03. “Thug ‘Til I Die” feat. Master P
O’Dell did this one… >>> Instant start, here, wit tha hook and nice-soundin’ beat…; great job wit tha hook, P! Hearin’ tha 1st verse, here, and it’s good ta go wit this track, overall… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds pretty nice, too; can’t deny it… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse, here, and it sounds pretty catchy wit how y’all come through wit tha rhymes, here, fa tha Gz… Luv how tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse’s pretty rapid, too; nice shit… My Rating: 4.1


04. “Hustla Baller”
Carlos Stephens beat… >>> Dope beat, here; nice hook, too! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and y’all got shit on lock fa tha N.O., here! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear, as well… And, we got tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ nice wit all these numberz! Consistent-soundin’ rhymes, consistent-soundin’ numberz; what more can you ask for? My Rating: 4.2


05. “How Could You Blame Us” feat. Fiend
Carlos Stephens beat, again… >>> A slow beat, here, with a calm hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s good/okay… And, as this continues, it’s okay but I don’t have that much interest in this slow shit… My Rating: 3.1


06. “Run Quickly”
Carlos Stephens on tha track! >>> Sounds like a good 1st verse and decent beat, here… Hearin’ tha hook about runnin’ and it sounds good; can’t complain… Tha 2nd verse sounds nice ta hear, too… And, we got tha 3rd verse, soundin’ pretty nice to flow wit this shit… My Rating: 3.7


07. “Blood Line” feat. Magic
Carlos Stephens; who else? >>> Sounds like a betta beat, here; good hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice, too… Nice job wit tha collab; my bad for tha lack of words, here… THA TRACKS ARE FUCKIN’ MIXED UP, AGAIN!!! My Rating: 4.1


08. “These Eyes Of Mind”
O’Dell on tha beat… >>> Slow song… It soundin’ nice, but it’s like, too slow for me to really take serious? My Rating: 3.2


09. “Trying To Make It” feat. Mr. Serv-On
Carlos Stephens beat… >>> Sounds like a decent start, here, even tho I thought I reviewed this one? I’m confused… Either way, dry-soundin’ beat fa this kinda collab… Oh, this ain’t “I’m A Soldier”; this “Trying To Make It”, smh! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s not bad, here; I feel like this mixed-up review’s draggin’… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ decent, too… My Rating: 3.4


½time: [No official ½time, due to a mixed-up tracklisting…] Decent CD; a 3.8-rated CD, so far…


10. “Devil’s Playground”
Anotha beat by Carlos! >>> Sounds like a good 1st verse and beat, here; real shit… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s soundin’ decent; I like tha eerie vibe in tha “devil’s” lyrics, lol… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds like it’s nice ta hear; can’t complain… And, we got tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice, as well… My Rating: 4.0


11. “Lost Thugs” feat. C-Murder
KLC & O’Dell on tha beat! >>> Sounds like a dope lil’ beat, here; good hook from C, too! Gotta luv tha dark vibes! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice from C, as well! Good, gutta-soundin’ shit at all times! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice, too… And, we got tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear, as well… My Rating: 4.2


12. “Ghost In The Dark”
Keepin’ it movin’ wit Carlos on this beat… >>> Decent beat; sounds like an okay 1st verse, here… And, tha 2nd verse’s pretty consistent-soundin’, here; dope shit! My Rating: 3.9


13. “Wise Guys”
C-Los!! >>> I’m diggin’ this beat, here… Tha 1st verse’s soundin’ nice ta hear, of course… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and y’all focused, here… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice, as well… My Rating: 3.8


14. “Trying To Change” feat. Silkk The Shocker
Carlos…! >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ slow track, but it’s slow! Good job, tho; not much fa me ta say… My Rating: 3.6


15. “Shackled”
Carlos Stephens on da track… Hate seein’ a title like this ‘cause it’s “FREE CORY!!!” that I’m screamin’! And no, it ain’t just C-Murder!! >>> Beat sounds dry but somewhat-okay, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds pretty nice, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty good, here; can’t say much… And, tha rest of this just keeps it movin’, ya know what I’m sayin’? My Rating: 3.5


16. “Our Thing” feat. Mac, Magic & Q.B.
Craig B on da track… >>> A decent beat start, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and y’all soundin’ good on this… Hearin’ tha hook and it almost sounded like it flowed with tha 1st verse, here; weak transition? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds good, as y’all continue ta keep it movin’… And, this ended outta nowhere! My Rating: 3.8


17. “Bad Weather”
Craig B on tha beat… >>> A short one, here, soundin’ pretty dope wit this upbeat sound! Y’all got tha rhymes on lock, too! My Rating: 4.3


18. “Thug Luv”
Carlos Stephens did tha beat… >>> Sounds nice ta end thangz off… Of course, tha last track’s correct on tha mp3 info and tracklisting!! Smh!! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice, here… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice ta hear, as well… And, we got tha 3rd verse, soundin’ pretty nice ta hear, as well… My Rating: 4.0


Overall: I thoughht this CD wasn’t too bad… It was pretty nice, but nothin’ too strikin’, here…
