Happy
58th day in a row of reviewin’ CDs, three years at my job & only
two more dayz till my dream comes true!! This my next review: Mean Green Major Players Compilation, released in 1998 on No Limit Records
& Priority Records! Start Time: 1:43
AM | End Time: 2:44 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!

UGK “Tossed Up”
Produced
by tha Pimp!! >>> Definitely nice, here; great job wit tha southern
beat and how Pimp comin’ through on tha 1st verse! Dope hook, here,
from Bun!! It don’t get anymo southern than this!! Almost thought it was a
different feature or somethin’ on tha 2nd verse, here… Not as good
as tha Pimp but it’s still nice ta flow tha track over well… Now, we got Bun on
tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through, reppin’ like he always does… My Rating: 4.4
04.
Commission “Devil’s Playground”
Carlos
Stephens on tha beat… >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ dark beat, here, wit
tha 1st verse soundin’ pretty nice… Tha hook’s pretty dope with “why
are we… (trapped in tha devil’s playground)?;” good shit!! Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and it’s pretty nice, too; gotta keep it goin’!! Tha 3rd
verse’s pretty dope, too, completely “ducked off” with this “shadow!” My Rating: 4.3
05.

06.
Too $hort “Better Player”
Ant
Banks on tha beat… >>> Beat’s kinda dry but somewhat-good… Hearin’ tha
1st verse and it ain’t bad; not tha best from him, tho… Hearin’ tha
hook and I feel a lil’ betta about him on this one, now… Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and it sounds a lil’ betta with this ‘90s vibe… I ain’t expect a 3rd
verse on this, so now, it sounds like it’s draggin’… Either way, not too bad,
here… My Rating: 3.6
07.
C-Murder feat. Magic & Snoop Dogg “Dying In My City”
A
Craig B beat… >>> C sounds nice on tha hook, here, wit this
gangsta-soundin’ beat… Hearin’ C on tha 1st verse and shit sounds real,
here; definitely feelin’ his rhymes! Now, we got Snoop on tha 2nd
verse, here, soundin’ a lil’ dry and quiet; it iz what it iz… And, endin’ it
with Magic on tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear, this time…
My Rating: 4.1

09.
E-40 feat. Suga T “Sucka Repellent”
Nice
title, with Studio Ton on tha beat! >>> Only sounds decent, so far,

2 For 1 “The Mirror Don’t Lie”
KLC
beat… >>> Sounds like a catchy track wit a nice lil’ beat, here… Tha
hook ain’t too bad but I’ono how interested I am in hearin’ females, right now…
