Review #1,721: S.A.C. Mafia "Socca Ballin'"

Reviewed on 4.30.2017 (Review #1,721)

I ain’t expect to work 10 hours on both weekend dayz, so I have to squeeze this review in before I go to sleep… Congrats to my cousin, Jacqueline, for havin’ a daughter today, as well! Here goes my next review in my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon: S.A.C. Mafia Socca Ballin’, released in 1998 on Untouchable Records & was produced by Sinista & T-Bone! FYI: S.A.C. Mafia iz Sess 4-5 & Dumo; what up, Sess? I see you! We gon meet up soon, during one of these upcoming trips I’m makin’ to Louisiana! Start Time: 8:30 PM | End Time: 9:46 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!
