Review #1,848: Fiend "Street Life"

Reviewed on 10.20.2019 (Review #1,848)


My 1,848th review: Fiend Street Life, released in 1999 on No Limit Records! Start Time: 6:24 PM | End Time: 7:17 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

02. “The Rock Show”
Producer: KLC
>>> Pretty upbeat and hype, here; nice beat, KL! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you and you got these aggressive rhymes on lock, here! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty anthemic; nice job, Fiend! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ just as hype, here; gotta feel it! My Rating: 4.4


03. “Talk It How I Bring It”
Producer: KLC
>>> Yeah, shouts out ta “KLC” iz right! He got tha productions on lock…! Hearin’ what you got on tha 1st verse and I’m feelin’ your aggression, as well as tha chick vocalizin’, at times…! Tha hook’s soundin’ nice ta hear, here; you got this! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and you keepin’ this shit goin’, fa a soulja! My Rating: 4.3


04. “War 4 Reason”
Producer: KLC
>>> Definitely anotha nice one, here; great hook and great KLC beat…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ pretty hype, here; great aggression at all times! Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ pretty dope; just luv how you bring it! Got tha 3rd verse goin’ on, here, comin’ through wit somethin’ nice on tha mic, once again… My Rating: 4.2


05. “Get In 2 It” feat. Mia X
Producer: Craig B
>>> Great beat, here, as well as tha energy you’re bringin’ to tha table on tha 1st verse…! Tha hook’s pretty nice; feelin’ tha energy, once again! Show off energy! Show off aggression…! Got Mia on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit her energy; nice…! Got yo ass on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through wit dat energy, again; nice! My Rating: 4.4


06. “Ak’n Bad” feat. Skull Duggrey & Mystikal
Producer: Craig B
My dawg, Charles Hershieie, f.k.a. Skull Duggrey, wit Mystikal, on tha feature…!! >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ hook, here; all about “Ak’n Bad!” Skull on tha 1st verse, here, comin’ through wit his “murda hood shit;” definitely nice! Glad I’ve been connected wit him fa a decade, on November 9th; he tha realest from tha N.O.! So glad you got him on tha feature; he official wid it!! Got you on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit tha aggressive rhymes; definitely nice, all tha time! Got Mystikal on tha 3rd verse, providin’ top-notch energy & aggression, here; A++!! My Rating: 4.8


07. “Heart Of A Ghetto Boy”
Producer: Craig B
>>> Sounds like a slow track, as tha beat’s laidback & your flow’s less aggressive… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it ain’t bad; you toned it down, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it slightly sounds like tha typical “Ghetto Boy” track that’s remade. Either way, this ain’t too bad fa a slowie… Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, here… Even tho a slow track, it shouldn’t be over five minutes long, let alone, 5:38… I think that’s too long, so it seems like it drags… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3rd verse and it’s okay; I think I’m slightly bored by now, tho… Got a long outro, here; I feel it ta relax to, I guess…? My Rating: 3.6


08. “Trip To London” feat. Kage, Mo B. Dick & O’Dell
Producer: KLC & O’Dell
>>> Much shorter track, here (more than three minutes shorter than “Ghetto Boy”)! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and you soundin’ great, here; beat’s pretty poppin’, as well… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from Kage, here, soundin’ pretty nice; feelin’ this shit… Ooh, Mo B on tha hook; likin’ his singin’ about “London,” lol. My Rating: 4.2


½time: Other than “Ghetto Boy”’s slow, long vibe, this CD has a lot ta offer, as far as aggression & energy! Great job wit how you come through wit it, Fiend! You always gon be a No Limit soulja! A 4.3-rated CD, so far; let’s keep it goin’…!


09. “The Truth Is”
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> Beat ain’t too bad, here; a lil’ more on tha laidback vibe, once again… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and you sound regular wit this regular, less-aggressive flow; not bad… Hearin’ tha hook and it aight; sounds random wit tha spoken words in tha background of it, from you… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ okay… My Rating: 3.7


10. “Been Thru It All” feat. Magic
Producer: KLC
>>> Hearin’ tha 1st verse and I’m feelin’ tha aggressive rhymes; great job wit tha beat, KL! Hearin’ tha hook and yeah, it’s betta ta be “thru” shit; it makes you stronger…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice from you, here; great collab…! Luv that it doesn’t seem ta end; y’all got this on lock fa only 2:44 on tha length! My Rating: 4.4


11. “Mr. Whomp Whomp”
Producer: KLC
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ No Limit-soundin’ production; great job, KL! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and you got dis shit on lock… Hearin’ tha hook and I’m diggin’ tha title part; “whomp” it out…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice, as you keep this shit goin’…! A 3rd verse, here, comin’ through wit some nice shit; great job, as always… My Rating: 4.3


12. “I Was Placed Here” feat. Holloway of Ghetto Commission
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> Sounds good wit this beat, once again; feelin’ what Hollow got goin’ on, durin’ tha 1st verse…! Tha hook ain’t too bad, here, wit tha singin’ (Mo B?), as well as tha rappin’ in tha background… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice, as well; great collab… Likin’ tha car door beepin’, toward tha end; good shit… My Rating: 4.2


13. “I’m Losing My Mind”
Producer: Craig B
>>> Beat ain’t too bad; sounds good ta rap on, I guess? Hearin’ your aggressive-ass on tha 1st verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice… Hearin’ tha hook and it ain’t bad; feelin’ tha paranoia in tha “mind,” here! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ pretty nice, as well; good shit… My Rating: 4.2


14. “They Don’t Hear Me”
Producer: KLC
>>> Diggin’ this KL beat; definitely nice and jammin’! Feelin’ like an N.O. soulja on tha hook, here; definitely nice! Hearin’ your aggressive, upbeat energy on tha 1st verse and it’s official; gotta luv it! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ pretty nice, as well; definitely nice, here! My Rating: 4.5


15. “If They Don’t Know”
Producer: KLC
>>> A quickie, here; feelin’ tha beat and what you spittin’ ova this hot beat from KL…! My Rating: 4.4


16. “Walk That Line”
Producer: KLC
>>> Sounds slightly like a Mardi Gras parade, as far as tha music goes… Nice job on tha beat, KL, as well as you on tha 1st verse, F-I (lol)… Tha hook’s pretty nice; like dat you got tha “gumbo!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds like you’re enjoyin’ yourself, based off this flow? Not bad… Tha 3rd verse sounds okay, here; I’ono if I can admit that we’re not even halfway through this… I think this sounds too long fa 5:15; coulda been one of tha shorter tracks… My Rating: 3.5


17. “Waiting On God”
Producer: Carlos Stephens, KLC & O’Dell
>>> Sounds like an okay track, here; beat’s pretty nice… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it ain’t bad wit what you’re bringin’ to tha table, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s okay; likin’ tha beat more than you, tho… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it ain’t too bad, here; seems like dis gon be a longer track… Nice lil’ beat outro, here, endin’ thangz off… My Rating: 3.8


Overall: Most of tha shit on here was nice! Felt your energy & aggression throughout most of tha tracks! Gotta give it up to tha collab between you, Skull & Mystikal, tho; definitely was tha best! I know there’s more where you came from, so I gon hear more of your music throughout this marathon; keep it up!
