“Where You From” feat. Master P & Silkk The Shocker
Craig
B production. >>> Nice hook from P & beat from B, here… Hearin’ P
on tha 1st verse and yeah, this sounds nice… It’s connections like
these you think would last forever, just like my friend & I, etc. Then,
everything just ends, outta nowhere, ova tha lil’ shit, smh! Silkk on tha 2nd
½ of tha 1st verse and he soundin’ nice, here; diggin’ tha anthemic
opening track! Hearin’ Skull on tha 2nd verse and you doin’ a nice
job, just handlin’ tha track down; good shit… Heard from your son a lil’ while
ago; that was good… Endin’ wit P chantin’, here; good shit… My Rating: 4.4

“If It Don’t Make $$$...” feat. Fiend, Master P & Mo B. Dick
Mo
B. beat… >>> A slower track, here; good shit on tha hook from P, here…
Fiend on tha 1st verse, just on his chill mode wit tha rappin’…; not
bad, overall… A lil’ bit of singin’ from Mo B. on tha hook, too; nice… P on tha
2nd verse, here, soundin’ catchier than tha 1st verse wit
his extra umph for tha 2nd
verse… Here you are on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit your
rappin’, too; good shit… My Rating: 3.9
03.
“The Set Up” feat. Mia X
Carlos
Stephens on tha production… >>> Sounds good wit how you comin’ through
on tha 1st verse wit this regular-paced track… Hearin’ tha hook and
it’s pretty nice from you, here, depictin’ this “set up;” good shit… Hearin’
Mia on tha 2nd verse and she survivin’ tha struggle, doin’ her
thang; nice… Here you are on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through wit
some good shit, too; gotta keep it movin’… And, an outro at least a minute long
from you, here; nice… Mia addin’ a taste to tha end with, “It’s a trap, y’all,”
just ta remind “y’all,” lol… My Rating: 4.0
04.
“Testimony” feat. Fiend, Mr. Serv-On & O’Dell
Carlos
Stephens on tha beat… >>> Nice lil’ beat sound throughout this darker
beat and tha hook ain’t too bad… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and
it’s pretty nice…; you and your calm flow… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and
it’s decent; most of tha flows on this CD are on chill mode, here… Here you are
on tha 3rd verse, here, “In 1970, a hoodlum was born…;” aren’t you
“1975?” That’s what Facebook said…
Either way, decent lil’ verse, here… Tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd
verse be someone else… As far as their flow, it literally sounds like they’re
readin’ a “testimony” out loud, lol… Not tha greatest flow but aye, they’re
featured, so…, they’ll be good… My
Rating: 3.8
05.
“Satisfied” feat. Mystikal
Craig B beat… >>> A lil’ upbeat on tha beat, here; definitely nice… Mystikal on tha 1st verse, slaughterin’ tha track to tha fullest! Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds catchy wit you singin’ tha title, lol… Definitely nice wit tha beat soundin’ upbeat, too… Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse and it’s nice; I feel tha celeb vibe! I hope I continue ta be dat celeb as I continue to branch out and get older! I’m diggin’ how you sound like you boosted your voice up like Mystikal fa tha near-end of tha 2nd verse; good shit… I almost thought you was Mystikal, fa a second…! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it’s soundin’ nice from you, here, just continuously spittin’, spittin’, spittin’… And, at least a 40-second outro from you, here… My Rating: 4.2

“Mistakes In The Game” feat. Snoop Dogg
Craig
B beat… >>> A dry-soundin’ beat, here… Hearin’ you on tha 1st
verse and it sounds like a Duggrey mission… Keepin’ it movin’ wit Snoop on tha
2nd ½ of tha 1st verse, soundin’ a lil’ dry on tha
rappin’ but it’s his rappin’ style, for tha most part; can’t deny it… Hearin’
Snoop on tha hook and it’s true, how we all
“make mistakes, mane;” definitely right! Triple M’s moment: “Make mistakes, mane!”
Hearin’ y’all on tha 2nd verse and it’s straight, as well… My Rating: 4.1
07.
“My Regiment” feat. The Commission
Carlos
Stephens did this track… >>> Nice lil’ hook from you, here, wit this
nice-soundin’ beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from these Commission
dudes and it sounds nice fa this collab; good shit… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd
verse, here, soundin’ nice from The Commission, once again… Also, you hop onto
tha verse, here… “1983, my verse on ‘Robbery’;” where dat at, Skull? Nice
collab, tho; glad you got a lot ta offer! My
Rating: 3.8
08.
“Shakin’ In The Streets” feat. KLC
KLC
& O’Dell on this beat… >>> Sounds nice wit you on tha hook; this
beat a lil’ dry, tho, wit not much goin’ on in it… Hearin’ you on tha 1st
verse and it’s soundin’ decent wit what you spittin’, here… Keepin’ it movin’
wit you on tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ decent… A coupla random
parts that make me laugh, at times, such as tha “jello jiggalin’,” or whateva
that iz… Either way, just a decent lil’ track, overall… Also, here you are on
tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit your shit, as always… My Rating: 3.7
09.
“I’m Not A Victim” feat. Big Ed, Shad & Soup Bone
O’Dell
on tha track… >>> A slow track, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse
and it’s not bad for a start, here… This 5:02 on tha length, so I’ono how
interested I can stay, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s just, “Hmm…?” Okay…
Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse and I like how you sound wit your voice
but this delivery’s so slow… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it’s decent
wit what you bringin’, here… Still, it’s a lil’ too slow wit tha delivery ta
keep my interest up… An extra verse toward tha end, here… Oh, finally, tha flow
speeds up! My Rating: 3.5
½time: Most of this iz on an
above-average tip, fa me… A 3.9-rated CD, so far; good job, Skull…
10.
“It’s No Limit”
A
solo track wit KLC on tha beat… >>> Decent start, here, wit you on tha
1st verse, spittin’ some good shit… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty
nice wit how you reppin’ fa “No Limit,” here, with “no limit,” too; good shit…
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and you got shit on lock, too… And, we got tha
3rd verse, here, soundin’ pretty rough on tha flow; gotta luv it! My Rating: 3.9
11.
“Pain”
Carlos
Stephens beat… >>> A slow beat, here; let’s see what it do… Hearin’
tha 1st verse from you and it a nice lil’ story of what you’re goin’
through in These Wicked Streets of
tha N.O., here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s a simple-soundin’ hook that’s just
decent… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and at 1:58, did you say, “My nigga,
Nu$$ie?” Early shout out? Good shit, if so… In reference to that “1970” part
from one of tha earlier songs on here, Nu$$ie was born in ’75, so I assume
y’all born tha same year? For a slow song, this ain’t too bad, overall… And, a
54-second outro, followin’ only two verses fa 3:40 in length, so far… My Rating: 3.6
12.
“Murder Crime”
A
Craig B beat… >>> Sounds like a hyped-up beat, here; feelin’ tha
intensity! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice, as you
deliver tha lyrics wit a decent flow… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds nice and
intense; feelin’ what you spittin’ wit tha “you find…two bodies by tha
dumpster, all tha time” line and shit! Nice! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse
and it’s pretty nice wit what you got goin’ on, too… My Rating: 4.3
13.
“If U Feel” feat. C-Murder & Silkk The Shocker
KLC
& Mo B. Dick on tha track… >>> A decent lil’ beat that’s kinda
slower, too… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it ain’t bad… Still,
some of these slower tracks are soundin’ a lil’ dry, like they need honey
mustard or somethin’ on ‘em, lol… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s not bad, here; feelin’
it only a touch, I guess? Tha rest of tha vibe seems kinda dry… Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and it’s not bad; just a lil’ yada-yada-like…? Hearin’ tha 3rd
verse and it’s not bad, once again… My
Rating: 3.6
14.
“Drama”
Carlos
Stephens on tha track… >>> A lil’ more upbeat wit this beat, this
time… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds nice wit what you bringin’
to tha banks of tha N’awlinz… Hearin’
tha hook and it’s pretty nice wit what you got goin’ on, here, depictin’ tha
“drama” that each situation brings… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd
verse, here, soundin’ like a decent verse… Despite bein’ decent, it’s how you
sound while you’re deliverin’ these rhymes that sound catchy, at least… And, a
3rd verse, here, soundin’ nice, too; can’t complain… My Rating: 4.1
15.
“What What”
Carlos
Stephens on this beat, too… >>> Sounds like an okay track, here, wit
you rappin’ on tha 1st verse… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s kinda quick;
ehh, okay… Hearin’ tha lil’ interlude before tha 2nd verse and I’m
diggin’ all tha dialogue you sayin’, here, bruh… All tha “dawg,” “bruh,” etc.
shit; dope! Actually, this must be tha hook, now, followin’ tha lil’ interlude
part; catchy, even tho it simple… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s not
bad, here… My Rating: 3.4
16.
“These Wicked Streets”
O’Dell
beat… >>> Decent beat; nothin’ too special… Hearin’ you on tha 1st
verse and it ain’t bad, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s not bad; nothin’ too
much goin’ on here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and you keepin’ it goin’
in a decent way, here… And, a 3rd verse from you, here, soundin’
decent wit how you makin’ it through “These
Wicked Streets,” just like your album title… My Rating: 3.7
17.
“For The Fans”
Carlos
Stephens on tha beat… >>> Hearin’ tha beat and it’s a lil’ dry, once
again… You on tha 1st verse, here, and it sounds decent; it’s
whateva… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds a lil’ boring but I
guess it’s straight…? A 3rd verse, here…; not bad, overall… My Rating: 3.0
18.
“Ghetto Niggas” feat. C-Murder & Silkk The Shocker
No
producer listed fa this final track… >>> Sounds pretty upbeat,
finally; good shit! Definitely diggin’ C on tha hook, here; he always brings tha heat! And,
transitionin’ right inta him on tha 1st verse, here, bringin’ mo
heat! “And now, I shmoke weed wit tha realest;” ain’t dat right, C! Can’t wait
till dat us, one day, once you get outta jail! Would luv to kick it witchu like I kick it wit these Baton Rouge rappers, ya dig? I’m cool wit
Skull, so it only gon be a matta o’ time! Hearin’ you on tha 2nd
verse, Skull, and it sounds nice ta hear, here; good shit… And, Silkk on tha 3rd
verse, here, comin’ through wit dat greatness, as well… My Rating: 4.3
Overall: Thought this CD was gon
be way better, in a way that all tha tracks would be 4.0-rated tracks. I’ono,
but a good portion of tha production was a lil’ dry, makin’ tha tracks not
sound that excitin’ ta me… Either way, a nice lil’ CD in tha collection, Skull;
keep up tha great work! Hope I hear from ya again soon!
