Review #1,677: Hide Out Clique "Game On Freeze"

Reviewed on 3.12.2017 (Review #1,677)

Happy 46^th day in a row of reviewin’ CDs & Happy Birthday to my mom & Crazy Kim!! Well, since my best friend’s locked up, lemme catch up on more reviewz while it’s shitty & cold out, as well… Here goes my next review in my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon: Hide Out Clique Game On Freeze, released in 1998 on Mack-A-Million Records & was produced by Playa Will (except tha final track, which was produced by Sugar Bear! Start Time: 7:08 PM | End Time: 8:22 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!
