Review #1,687: Krazy "I Shed Tears For The World"

Reviewed on 3.17.2017 (Review #1,687)

Happy 51^st day in a row of reviewin’ CDs & only nine more dayz till my dream comes true!! Still dealin’ with tha bad snowstorm but hopefully, it’ll melt, soon! Time for anotha review: Krazy I Shed Tears For The World, released in 1998 on Ruff Era Records! Start Time: 1:59 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!

01. “Shed Tears” feat. Stress & Ed West

Produced by Ezell Swang! >>> Nice lil’ beat; I’ono about this sad beat, tho; I’m not big about depressed songs… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s nice wit how you comin’ through wit this one, tho… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s nice, too; diggin’ your grimy, Tupacish-soundin’ voice… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ pretty dope, too! And, a long outro, here… My Rating: 4.0

02. “Ballin’ Tonight” feat. Lyric & Sweetie

Ezell Swang beat, here… He did most of tha production but not all of it… >>> Fuck this!!! I’m not in tha mood for remakes; totally “Take Your Time (Do It Right)” on tha hook, here!! Not feelin’ it but it sounds like one of those novelty singles or somethin’… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds like if Tupac needed a really big pop song, smh… Tha 2^nd verse sounds like a featured artist that’s not credited; hmm… This whole entire track sounds random, here… Oh, I just wanna PUNCH that hook!!! And, tha 3^rd verse; ehh… My Rating: 1.6

03. “Me & You” feat. Ed West

Sinista track! >>> I’m diggin’ this beat, right chea! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse in this undaground world and it’s pretty nice… Likin’ tha hook, here, wit this singin’ (found out it was Ed West); good shit… And, we got tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ decent; not bad… Tha rest of this was pretty nice; good shit… My Rating: 4.1

04. “Down Town”

Ezell Swang in tha buildin’! >>> Sounds pretty nice wit that sampled beat in tha background, too… Great job wit how you comin’ through on tha 1^st verse, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice! Kinda reminds me of a track I heard in Baton Rouge six years ago, like, “Baton Rouge got you goin’ to Winfield quicker,” or somethin’ like that… And, great job wit how you’re comin’ through wit tha 2^nd verse, here, continuously goin’… Tha 3^rd verse’s pretty nice, too; good shit… My Rating: 4.0

05. “Game On Freeze” feat. Legend Man & Ed West

Anotha Ezell Swang beat! >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ hook and beat, here; laidback but a lil’ upbeat… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice, here; good job… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear, too… Movin’ on with tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear, too, as we continue… My Rating: 3.8

06. “Watching You”

Wydell beat… >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ undaground, laidback beat, here, with a lil’ upbeatness… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice from “you,” here… Tha hook from tha female sounds like it remakes somethin’, here (“watching you, watching me”); I’ono about it… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s decent, here… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3^rd verse, too, and it’s decent, too… My Rating: 3.5

07. “Pray 4 Me” feat. Ed West

Ezell Swang on tha track… >>> This a slower one, here; not bad… I don’t really have much ta say about this but how you have a Tupac-soundin’ voice? Was one of tha reasons that you grew up in tha same era as him? My Rating: 2.6

½time: Looks like a weirdly-rated review, here… A 3.4-rated CD, so far… There’s a few tight tracks but a few had really weird samples and threw me off…

08. “Chopper” feat. Mr. Sleep & Mr. Sinister

Ezell Swang doin’ anotha one… >>> Sounds good, here, wit tha vibe and how you comin’ through on tha 1^st verse, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s decent wit what y’all bringin’, here… Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too, with both features; good shit… My Rating: 3.7

09. “World Of Sin”

Sinista did this one but really, 6:26? >>> Sounds good wit tha 1^st verse, here; you got tha rhymes on lock fa tha streetz of New Orleans, here… A female singin’ tha hook, here; almost sounds like anotha sample… And, we got tha 2^nd verse comin’ along, here, soundin’ decent, too… More shit comin’ along, here, wit tha 3^rd verse, soundin’ pretty nice, too… At 4:07, it turned into a skit or somethin’ wit some nice-ass “herb,” too! My Rating: 3.4

10. “Streets To The Pin”

White Boy Greg on tha track… >>> A decent lil’ undaground-soundin’ ‘90s beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice wit tha rap you’re providin’ to tha undaground, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s quick and okay, here… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s nice ta hear, too; not bad, overall… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ nice wit these rhymes… Diggin’ tha dogs barkin’ around 2:57, too, lol… My Rating: 3.9

11. “My Enemies”

Ezell Swang beat… >>> Sounds like a decent lil’ beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and you got some of these rhymes on lock, here… Tha hook’s kinda good, but I’m startin’ ta feel a lil’ irritated with tha Tupac-soundin’ voice… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s decent ta hear, too… And, we got tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice ta hear, as well… My Rating: 3.6

12. “Neglect Me” feat. Tanya Jarvis

Sinista doin’ this one… >>> A cryin’ baby in tha beginning with this title? Prolly gon be pretty rough ta hear… Tha 1^st verse from you ain’t that bad, here… Hearin’ tha hook from Tanya and it sounds good; sucks about tha “neglectin’,” tho… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty nice wit what you’re bringin’ to tha table, here… And, tha 3^rd verse’s here, soundin’ good wit tha rhymes… Even tho this was a good review, tha track, itself, iz just okay for me, with these “neglectin’” vibes… My Rating: 3.3

13. “Chopper (Radio Edit)” feat. Mr. Sleep & Mr. Sinister

See #8 fa tha review…

14. “Ballin’ Tonight (Radio Edit)” feat. Lyric & Sweetie
