Happy
54th day in a row of reviewin’ CDs & only six more dayz till my
dream comes true!! Now, I have my 4th review for today: Mac Shell
Shocked, released in 1998 on No Limit Records & Priority Records! Start Time: 5:15 PM | End Time: 6:41 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!

“Be All You Can Be” feat. Fiend, Silkk The Shocker & Mo B. Dick
Mo
B. on tha product, here! >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ slow beat, here!
Sounds like it’s remakin’ somethin’ from back in tha day, like “Careless
Whisper”’s flow? Definitely catchy! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s
pretty dope; definitely nice and G-Funky! And, now that I’m hearin’ tha hook
again, I’m really feelin’ it much more! Definitely pure! Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and it’s pretty nice with what’s bein’ brought to tha table; good shit!
Definitely a nice collab, ya dig? Tha 3rd verse kinda sounds good,
but random wit tha flow, at times… And, tha lil’ bridge after tha 3rd
verse’s definitely a “Careless Whisper” remake, here, with tha flow! My Rating: 4.5
03.

“Tank Dogs” feat. C-Murder & Fiend

Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice wit these “tank dogs!” Hope I’m a big “dog” when I make it to tha Boot!
Hearin’ C on tha 1st verse and it sounds nice; good shit, here…
Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha gutta-soundin’ 2nd verse, here, keepin’ it

“We Don’t Love ‘Em”
KLC
on tha beat… >>> A decent lil’ beat, here; can’t complain… Hearin’ tha
1st verse and it’s not too bad, here… And, tha hook sounds catchy
wit a chant, here, fa tha “hoes.” And, we got tha 2nd verse, here,
soundin’ pretty nice ta hear, too; decent lil’ track, overall… Rappin’ on a 3rd
verse with it fadin’ out, here… My
Rating: 3.7
08.
“Wooo” feat. Kane, Abel, Mr. Serv-On, Big Ed, Snoop Dogg & Mia X
With
anotha KLC production, here! >>> Sounds like an energetic track, here…
Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds nice, here, shell-shockin’ ‘em… And, tha hook’s pretty hype, just like a
soulja’s version of tha previous joint! Instead of “hooooes,” it’s “woooo,”
lol… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty nice from both Kane &
Abel, here… Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse pretty intense wit
tha fast rhymin’!! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse, here,
soundin’ pretty nice from Ed; good shit! Snoop keepin’ tha 3rd verse
movin’, here, soundin’ chill, compared to all this hype… And, endin’ it with
Mia X, comin’ through nicely, here… My
Rating: 4.2

“Can I Ball” feat. Soulja Slim
O’Dell

sounds! Slim comin’ through on tha 2nd verse nicely, here; good

you on tha 2nd verse, here, reppin’ hard fa tha life and times of
’98, here… My Rating: 4.1
11.
“The Game”
KLC
on tha track… >>> Sounds like a decent 1st verse, here,
with a nice lil’ organ in tha beat… Tha hook ain’t too bad, here, wit how you
reppin’ fa “the game,” here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s nice,
too… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse, too, strictly holdin’ it
down on your own, here… My Rating: 3.7
½time: A 4.1-rated CD, here; good shit… You
already know you’re consistent wit tha quality N.O. rap, here!
12.
“Callin’ Me” feat. Ms. Peaches
Mo
B. Dick production… >>> Sounds like it gon be a sad song? Kinda
diggin’ this depressin’ beat as you hold tha 1st verse down… Tha
hook ain’t bad; can’t say anything ‘bout it, tho… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd
verse, here, soundin’ decent… Nothin’ really poppin’ off wit this one, so I
prolly won’t say much more… My Rating: 3.2
13.
“Memories” feat. C-Murder
KLC
beat… >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ beat and tha hook’s nice from C, of
course! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 1st verse from C, always keepin’
it street! Diggin’ tha history of tha “first hit,” when it came to “weed,” C!
March 5, 2009 @ 9:59 PM from my cousin, outside my block, was my 1st
time! Keepin’ it movin’ wit you on tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’
pretty nice, too… My Rating: 4.3
14.
“Meet Me At The Hotel” feat. Magic, Mia X, Mr. Serv-On, Storm & Mo B. Dick
Carlos
Stephens, KLC & O’Dell all on tha track, here! >>> Sounds like a
decent lil’ laidback track… Like, it’s laidback with tha singin’ on tha hook,
but it’s upbeat, too… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and, straight from “Room
7-3-0,” here we are, soundin’ nice… Lol @ tha “camouflage drawers &
rubbers;” dumb shit! And, we got tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ like
an over-“21” party, here… Magic even joinin’ tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd

gangsta-soundin’ shit fa dem tank boyz! Tha hook’s pretty nice, too; gotta

nice… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it ain’t too bad, here… Hearin’ tha

17.
“Nobody Make A Sound” feat. Magic, 2-4-1 & Fiend
Craig
B on tha beat! >>> Sounds like a decent 1st verse, here, with
a dope-soundin’ beat and bells goin on… Pretty hyped-up once Magic hit tha mic!
“Betta smell my trunk;” fuckin’ right!! Tha hook’s pretty nice; definitely dat
good G-shit!! Tha 2nd verse from this 2-4-1 chick’s pretty nice,
too… Tha rest of this shit’s pretty nice; definitely a nice collab! My Rating: 4.3
18.
“Beef”
O’Dell
track, again! >>> Tha beat’s pretty nice, here; diggin’ tha anthemic
sound! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice wit what you’re
bringin’ to tha table, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice, too, about
this “beef” action! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s nice ta hear,
too! Lots of hidden intensity goin’ on in this beat; gotta luv it!! My Rating: 4.2
19.
“Camouflage Love” feat. Ms. Peaches & Storm
WOP
beat… >>> A decent beat, here; can’t complain… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse from you and it’s pretty nice ta hear, here… Tha hook ain’t too bad;
y’all luv bein’ camouflaged, huh? Tha
2nd verse ain’t too bad, here; good shit ta keep this movin’… My Rating: 3.8
20.
“Empire”
KLC
on tha track! >>> I’m diggin’ tha water drip-drops throughout tha beat
but it’s just a decent track, so far… Tha 1st verse has consistent
rhymes, so I can’t complain too much, here… Tha rest of this decent; can’t say
much… My Rating: 3.7
21.
“My Brother” feat. O’Dell
O’Dell
did this one, too! >>> A depressing song ta nearly end this CD off…
Ehh, it’s okay, here, on tha 1st verse… Tha hook ehh; not really in
tha mood for a “brother” song, especially since I lost one… Either way, guess
I’ll treat this to what’s tha closest thing to a “brother” for me: My best
friend, Cory; gotta hold him down at all
times!!! My Rating: 2.7
22.
“Shell Shocked (Outro)”
KLC wrappin’ up this CD’s production! >>> Pretty dope, here! Diggin’ tha heartbeat/beatin’-soundin’ beat that you’re rappin’ on, here! Definitely a nice way ta end this thang off!! My Rating: 4.4
