Review #1,783: Da Real Gee Money "G-Code 2"

Reviewed on 11.09.2018 (Review #1,783)

Been meanin’ to get to this review a lil’ while ago. However, I been depressed about one of my tracks not gettin’ its music video done, in September. Also, during October, tha job I was doin’ tha track for changed on me, so I been a mess, ever since… Now, luckily, I found some sorta motivation to get to this, so lemme get to it: Da Real Gee Money G-Code 2, courtesy of TBG Records. Gotta give big ups to DJ B-Real for reconnectin’ wit me, last year, as well as meetin’ him two months ago! He produced most of this production on here, so shout out ta him! Had to purchase tha CD fa him; “Pay The Producer!” Start Time: 5:43 AM | End Time: 6:24 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!

01. Intro: Life Of A Gee

>>> Sounds like a good piano in tha beginning. Sounds good wit tha intro, between tha news story & you in tha interview, here. Thought there’d be rappin’ but just a good, semi-mumbled intro… My Rating: N/A

02. “Bloody Shoes”

>>> Didn’t really go for tha Cardi B imitation, in tha beginning… Hardbody showin’ luv ta dis production, here, as you’re spittin’ some good shit on tha 1^st verse… Sounds good but, I’ono, during tha beginning of tha 2^nd verse, tha faster rappin’ that err-body do gotta go. I’ono why err-body thank that ‘talent.’ Hearin’ tha hook betta than tha intro, now & I kinda thank it’s a lil’ catchy. Kinda ehh for err-body to do they own versions of tha Kodak Black track but it serves its purpose, I guess? My Rating: 4.0

03. “Bouncin’”
>>> Mo Hardbodyness comin’ through, here… Sounds pretty nice wit this energetic vibe, on tha hook; definitely nice! If you continued ta live a lil’ longer, this prolly woulda been one of tha great Baton Rouge anthems of this time (tha fun times). Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it sounds like you spittin’ that hot shit that I used to love-love from BR…; good shit! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too; good shit, once again! My Rating: 4.4

04. “Gee Pac”

>>> I rather you do this kinda shit than tha Cardi B shit. Anotha nice beat (Hardbody? Didn’t realize he did most of tha production, instead of B-Real…) and bein’ that ambitious writer! Good, consistent shit goin’ on in tha 1^st verse, here. I can tolerate this type of fast flow, so I’ll give you tha props. Hook sounds good; good but not obsessive feelings comin’ from me, here… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here & it sounds good, too; can’t complain… And, a long outro at tha end, here… My Rating: 4.2

05. “The Recipe”
>>> Hardbody on tha beat, again. I’ono, this sounds a lil’ boring with tha production and plain, like most mainstream, southern shit of today. I do like how you deliverin’ this “recipe,” on tha hook. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds good; can’t complain, once again. Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, consistently deliverin’ it… My Rating: 4.1

06. “Dreams To Reality”

That’s how I describe my Louisiana connection, as my “dreams” turned into a “reality,” when I finally touched down! >>> Mo wit Mr. Body, here… Was that a tag for B-Real & Q-Red? “Ask about B-Real & Q-Red…;” three-way production? Decent/quiet beat, tho, but it ain’t too bad wit tha 1^st verse… Sounds like some good sounds in tha background, on tha hook, but tha beat’s mainly on a quiet tip… Either way, sounds a lil’ betta wit tha hook, here, but nothin’ too exciting, at times… Even throwin’ a lil’ Biggie, “If you don’t know, now, you know,” toward tha end of tha 2^nd verse… My Rating: 3.8

½time: Sounds like a good CD, here. I know I liked tha 1^st G-Code betta but this still nice, of course, wit a 4.1-rated CD!

07. “Industry”

Right before you died… B-Real doin’ this one and gotta luv that you, “Fulla tabs, while ridin’ round;” good start to tha 1^st verse… Wit this one, I like how you flowin’ on this one, especially wit tha ending words on parts of tha 1^st verse (“trippin’,” you know, holdin’ tha notes, randomly). Good consistency on tha 1^st verse, of course. Sounds good wit tha hook, especially “Industry” vs. “in da streetz;” same syllables! Good shit on tha 2^nd verse, too, but no held notes… Sounds a lil’ more mastered than what we were used to, right before you died (YouTube video). Either way, a good lil’ one before you passed… My Current Rating: 4.3

08. “Kick The Door Down” feat. DJ B-Real, Fredo Bang & Cleezy5

Smh @ tha “Clezzy5”; we “ee”! B-Real on tha feature, this time! >>> Comin’ through wit B-Real on tha beat; wanna feel excited fa dis…!! Yeah, this has more of a spiced-kick than tha rest of what I heard on this CD, so far! Tha beat sounds nice; prolly coulda had a lil’ mo energy in tha kicks or somethin’ but I’m diggin’ it! Good shit on tha hook, B-Real; you got dis! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, Gee & it sounds like your good, Gee shit; glad you “rollin’ on dem jiggaz!” Got Fredo on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit dat “G-TBG shit” (“G-Shit” + TBG shit)! Good shit; came quick & paid its purpose! Now, Cleez on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit mo of dat G-TBG shit! I like at 2:58, it sounds like you can hear some of that hidden energy that shoulda had some tight kicks in it…! My Rating: 4.5

09. “Right Nah” feat. Fredo Bang & Ree-Up

>>> Got Q-Red runnin’ dis bitch, “right” chea… Much mo mainstream wit tha soundin’ than what I’m used to, from him… Hook ehh; sounds like every other mainstream rapper… Damn, 1:03 till it got to tha 1^st verse? Either way, here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some catchiness. Needless ta say, I’m not gonna jump for joy wit this one… Just can’t fuck wit all tha “money” shit; you know how dat go! No one got tha work ethic I have!! You have a good lineup on tha feature list, tho; good 2^nd verse, I guess…? My Rating: 3.2

10. “Fuck With You” feat. Blvd. Bubba & Blvd. Quick

>>> Got B-Real & Austin On Tha Track doin’ this production, here. I do like tha production betta than tha Q-Red one from tha last track. Wit tha voice effects & shit on tha hook, I’ono; not a 100 from me, so we’ll see how it goes… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it sounds like a good verse; nothin’ much ta say… Got tha 2^nd verse, here & it ain’t bad; good collab, between tha two Blvderz…! We got a 3^rd verse, too; good job, y’all. My Rating: 3.7

11. “Painful”
>>> Tha beat intro gives me almost a hint of a Nu$$ie track or somethin’… Since it’s BW (I’ll leave it at initials), I’ll just stop commentin’ on tha beat, since a $20 bill’s a rough path! It’s a sad day when I get written up on BW’s birthday, two weeks ago! It’s almost like I take tha loss fa err-body!! Either way, decent lil’ 1^st verse from you, here. Hearin’ tha hook and yeah, it’s true: “Friends turn to strangers.” Now that err-thang about money, these dayz, I can see how fake err-body iz & how I handle myself. Even down to tha people where I live at. Like, they trip about err-thang!! They can’t afford nothin’!! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it ain’t bad, neither. Crazy about tha “kill” parts ‘cause sadly, it came true. My Rating: 3.9

12. “Put That Pride To The Side”
>>> Got B-Real on this track; almost feels like a late ‘90s vibe, here… Not too bad fa a lil’ slow track… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it ain’t bad fa these bitches… Just talkin’ on tha hook, here. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s just regular-soundin’ rhymes, with a good lil’ hood story from Gee. True dat about tha “money” and how they “change” and shit. No matter what I turn into, I make sure I evolve & don’t change! No such thang as “friends,” sometimes, especially up here in PA! My Rating: 3.6

13. “They Switching”
>>> Q-Red beat; good sound, here… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it sounds like anotha Gee hood story. Crazy that you ain’t “have no shoes.” Thank of how you became a successful, undaground being; great how it turns out! Tha hook sounds good; anotha tale of how people switch on ya! No matter what B-Real & I mighta went through in tha past, I want us to evolve! I wanna celebrate my success wit him & Doe-Doe! That’s how I look at it! My Rating: 3.8

Overall: Most of it sounds good, on tha regular. I just thank that it didn’t have much excitement, wit some parts. Either way, great lil’ last of Gee Money.
