Review #1,743: Silkk The Shocker "Charge It 2 Da Game"

Reviewed on 8.07.2017 (Review #1,743)


Time to get back into my old Louisiana CD reviewz… Been tryna get inta this one since June 15 but kept fuckin’ up wit gettin’ up before work, especially that it be cold in my room when tha air be on… Now, especially that I no longer have to hang wit my ex-friends, I just wanna get it ova with so I can get back into gettin’ tha old Louisiana CD reviewz done… This iz Silkk The Shocker Charge It 2 Da Game, released in 1998 on No Limit Records & Priority Records. Start Time: 8:18 PM | End Time: 9:35 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!

KLC on tha beat; what a line-up, if I don’t know it by now! >>> Hyped-up intro wit P on tha hook; gotta dig it… I’m reviewin’ this as if I neva reviewed it b4, but I know of it… You’re on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit tha hype; good shit! Tha 2nd verse’s Fiend, here, comin’ through wit some nice shit, too; it’s all about tha hype! And, we got Mystikal on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through like a monsta at all times! And, even more comin’ outta tha 3rd verse, shockin’ tha world of ’98… Gotta dig Skull on tha final part of tha 3rd verse, here; gotta luv every “soldier” in tha state of Louisiana! They each hold they own crownz! Keepin’ it movin’ on tha 4th verse wit dat rat-tat-tata shit; good shit! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 4th verse’s Mia X, comin’ through wit some good shit, too… My Rating: 4.5


02. “Give Me The World”
O’Dell doin’ this track… >>> Diggin’ this slower beat, here; sounds nice on tha 1st verse from you, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it straight… Kinda guilty pleasure-soundin’ wit how you vocalize tha title part but it ain’t wack… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds a lil’ off on tha flow, at times? Either way, good shit… My Rating: 3.8


03. “Throw Yo Hood Up” feat. Snoop Doggy Dogg
KLC on tha beat; full Snoop name! >>> Diggin’ all tha chantin’ in tha intro, includin’ this beat; good shit… Hearin’ tha hook and y’all reppin’ nicely on tha hook, here; definitely a good anthem! Snoopy on tha 1st verse, here, comin’ through wit his usual, good-soundin’ West Coast feel… And, you jump in right afta, holdin’ it down togetha… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from y’all and it sounds dope fa this ’98 vibe; good shit… Definitely diggin’ how tha beat sounds eerie and continues ta sound like that, like it’s ascendin’!

Hmm… Mo B. Dick beat… >>> Likin’ this beat fa tha ‘90s and you sound good on tha 1st verse, here… Diggin’ tha hook, here, how it sounds gangsta and then, outta nowhere, “We can dance,” lol… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty nice, too, continuin’ ta hold it down… Some of tha flows sound random, here, as it’s just random rappin’? Either way, not wack like today’s music… And, tha 3rd verse ain’t bad, here; decent track… My Rating: 3.7


08. “Mama Always Told Me” feat. C-Murder, Master P & Eightball
Craig B doin’ this track… >>> Definitely diggin’ this hook from P, here; gotta luv tha “all I wanna do iz shmoke weed…” part!

Got Eightball on tha 3rd verse, here, doin’ his thang fa you, here… I luv how he’s “ridin’ on I-10, tryna move weight.” I’m glad I finally got ta ride down I-10 (R.I.P. Big Fancy)! My Rating: 4.0


09. “You Ain’t Gotta Lie To Kick It” feat. Big Ed & Mia X
O’Dell on this track… >>> I like how y’all say, “Gotta,” in tha hook, like, “Gossa!” Nice lil’ beat and catchy-ass hook fa somethin’ simple…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and tha rapidness continues…! Hearin’ Mia on tha 2nd verse and she’s aight; it iz what it iz, I guess?

11. “All Night” feat. Mo B. Dick
Mo B. on this track, here… >>> A West Coast-soundin’ beat, here; decent… Tha hook sounds remake-y wit tha “Hey DJ, won’t you play that song…” line; I’ono… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s a decent vibe… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse and it’s aight; a lil’ betta than tha 1st verse… Tha rest of this decent, as we’re chantin’ to tha end, here… My Rating: 3.5

Tha classic, with Craig B on tha beat… >>> Yeah, I recognize this one; definitely tha anthem/signature song of yours? Gotta luv tha title part bein’ chanted in tha background, as well as tha beat and shit; good shit! Hearin’ Mystikal on tha 1st verse, here, holdin’ shit down; definitely a dope collab! And, keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, holdin’ it down in a simple, hyper way… My Rating: 4.3


14. “What Gangstas Do” feat. Kane & Abel & Mo B. Dick
A Mo B. track… >>> All them different types of dudes in tha beginning, here; gotta ball, ya dig? Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice; definitely feelin’ tha G-Funk vibe, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s not bad; gotta feel it… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse and it sounds like Havoc from Mobb Deep, here? Oh, I heard, “Mr. Abel,” so it’s Kane & Abel, here (uncredited, just like Mystikal on “It Ain’t My Fault”)… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it’s decent; a lil’ quiet but good… My Rating: 3.7


15. Ummm
Skit wit Mo B. on tha production… >>> Ooh, an orgasm in tha beginning… Definitely feelin’ it; luv how it continues!! ***PERFECT RATING***?!? Just playin’!! If that was in tha background in a track, then, maybe, lol?! Luv how she orgasms, “You a baller! You a baller!,” LMAO!!! My Rating: N/A


16. “Let Me Hit It” feat. Mystikal
KLC on tha track… >>> Sounds catchy to follow tha skit up; definitely nice wit tha hook, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s not bad, here… Tha flow kinda throws me off but it’s still a decent track, regardless… Oh, Mystikal on tha 2nd verse, rapidly spittin’ his brainz out, here; good shit! My Rating: 4.1


17. “How Many…” feat. Master P, C-Murder, Mia X & Mystikal
Mo B. on this track… >>> An anthemic beat wit P on tha hook, here… Feelin’ it; tha simple-soundin’ P hooks, here… Hearin’ P on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit his accessories, here… We got C on tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse, here, definitely soundin’ nice on this type of fast beat! Boy, oh boy! Mystikal on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through in a fast way; can’t deny it! Rappin’ ‘round in circles ‘round err-body, here; good shit! Mia X on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through in a decent way; tha fast beat helps her, here… And, we got you reppin’ on tha final verse, here, spittin’ some faster rhymes and doin’ ya thang, here; good shit… My Rating: 4.2


18. “Who I Be”
Craig B on de beat… >>> Nice lil’ beat, here; feelin’ tha gutta vibes you bringin’ to tha 1st verse, here… Tha hook’s pretty upbeat, too; can’t deny it… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice ta hear, here… Kinda gettin’ lost in this, a lil’, as some of tha rappin’ sounds random to me, here… Either way, it has its ups… My Rating: 3.7


19. “Tell Me” feat. Master P & C-Murder
Carlos Stephens track… >>> Decent track; can’t complain wit tha hook from P and how he comin’ through on tha 1st verse… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from C and it’s pretty nice… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse from you and it’s nice, too; good lil’ throwback track, here… My Rating: 3.9


20. “Me & You”
Endin’ with a Craig B beat… >>> A slow beat ta end thangz off, here; sounds like a decent track and verse from you, here, on tha 1st verse… Hearin’ tha hook and ehh, decent; I’m not tha craziest about these break-ups and shit… And, hearin’ tha 2nd verse, as it sounds decent like tha 1st verse, too… As far as this “argument” shit, it sucks, especially when my arguments are so light that people feel like it’s tha end of tha world, smh. That’s what happened wit my ex-friend just a lil’ ova a month ago… My Rating: 3.1


Overall: Nice review; nice lineups; nice production; good shit…
