Review #1,719: Prime Suspects "Guilty 'Til Proven Innocent"

Reviewed on 4.28.2017 (Review #1,719)

Happy late birthday to my brother, Mike; he woulda been 27 today! Yesterday was nice out, so I ain’t accomplisih anything, really, except relaxin’… Lemme get into my next review, tho, from my marathon: Prime Suspects Guilty ‘Til Proven Innocent, released in 1998 on No Limit Records & Priority Records! Start Time: 1:40 AM | End Time: 2:58 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!

Carlos Stephens did this one… >>> This sounds like a nice, eerie beat/hook, here! I’m feelin’ it! Too bad I have, like, no “fear,” these dayz! I explained it earlier in this review; gotta luv myself! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s nice, here; pretty gangsta—too gangsta, lol? It sounds like it’s delivered in such a quiet way, but tha gangsta aggression’s hidden in tha lyrics!

Feelin’ how y’all comin’ through on tha 1^st verse, too, as if gangsta music easy ta make! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and as calm as y’all sound, tha gangsta iz always there, in spirit! You can just feel it! And, Peaches on tha 3^rd verse, here, slowly spittin’ some nice rhymes, surprisingly… Lol, what a way to end tha CD: “I got that sticky green stash,” and then, tha CD’s done! Crazy! My Rating: 4.3

Overall: There wasn’t much standout moments on this CD. Literally, err-thang was almost rated tha same and had a consistent, quality street vibe to it…
