Review #1,896: Partners-N-Crime "We Be Hound'n"

Reviewed on 12.24.2019 (Review #1,896)

Was runnin’ short on time, yesterday, since I had to rest & make a remix. Now, I’m here; lemme get inta dis: Partners-N-Crime We Be Hound’n, released in 1999 on South Coast Music Group & was produced by Full Pack Music! Was this tha 1^st CD I got fa my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon? It coincides with tha date I believe I got my 1^st CD for it, back on October 14, 2008! Been a long process! Glad I’m finally gettin’ these done, 11 years later!! Start Time: 6:29 AM | End Time: 7:47 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

06. “We Came Here To Party” feat. Bayou Boy & Drama Squad

>>> Pretty hype, once again; sounds more like an anthem fa tha streetz than tha club banga of tha last track… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it cool; sounds like lots of rhymes thrown togetha… Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; more like a block “party”-type vibe, as it mixes between tha club & tha streetz…!

Maybe, a lil’ more energy like some of tha previous tracks? Either way, this shit definitely can give you an energy boost, still! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse & it sounds nice; keep reppin’! Tha 2^nd part of tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice; startin’ ta feel jammin’ (tha vibe)…! Got a 3^rd verse toward tha near-end of this track, keepin’ it gangsta, of course…! My Rating: 3.9

09. “Having Dreams” feat. Mary Jane & Shype

>>> Decent start with a faster-than-usual laidback vibe, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it ain’t bad, here… Mary J on tha 2^nd verse, here (not Blige, lol) & it sounds okay; just a story with not much of a flow… Got Shype on tha 3^rd verse, here, speakin’ on tha life of a “G”; good shit…! Not tha best vibe fa me but not too bad, overall… My Rating: 3.4

10. Jail Call

>>> “Kango” on da line… Ugh, hearin’ this reminds me of me bein’ locked up, smh! My Rating: N/A

½time: A 4.0-rated CD, so far; good shit! Keep tha hyped-up anthems comin’! They’re soundin’ consistent, fa tha most part…!

11. “A Chance”
>>> Sounds good wit “a” bounce vibe, here; hook’s cool & transitions into “Paid In Full” & shit… This one’s pretty long; I have a feelin’ it gon get boring… Not that boring, tho it turned ta be long & kinda repetitive… Tha mixin’ was nice but it didn’t seem like excitin’ transitionin’… My Rating: 3.7

12. “La La Land” feat. Ché & Lil’ Brotha

>>> Sounds catchy; reminds me of one of those crazy, ‘90s rap tunes, on tha hook & slow beat…! Fast-soundin’ 1^st verse, here; far different from how tha hook feels, lol…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it kinda reminds me of Magic, here… Sounds like a good lil’ verse; aggression iz key, here! Tha 3^rd verse has some quick rhymes comin’; consistency iz anotha key! My Rating: 4.1

13. Da Phone Call

14. “Tameka & Keisha” feat. Nickel Slick of Drama Squad

>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ club-night vibe, here…; catchy hook & beat… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds cool; typical music fa dem hoes, I guess? Tha 2^nd verse sounds good; nice collab, N.O. style…! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3^rd verse & this shit’s nice; good job… My Rating: 3.8

15. “Why-Do-U-Do Me Like Dat?”
>>> Beat str8, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds like an okay banga… Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; anotha regular-soundin’ banga fa me, here… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds good wit this “weed” content. Either way, just an okay banga fa me, here… Tha both of y’all on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit y’all weed stories, here; good shit… Nice lil’ southern dialect on tha outro, here…; good shit…! My Rating: 3.8

16. “We Going”
>>> Sounds like a jammin’ lil’ bounce track… Back to tha long tracks, as this one’s 5:17… Sounds like a track to go to all these different wards & shit; nice… Tha singin’ vibe kinda makes this sound catchy; it’s a PNC thang, I guess…? Basically, this whole track’s consistent wit keepin’ tha party goin’; not much ta say… My Rating: 3.8

17. Da Set

>>> Sounds good, on tha streetz of a partner in crime! My Rating: N/A

18. “Black Folks” feat. Stimulus

>>> I’ono, I thank it gon be a boring one, here… Hearin’ tha beginnin’ & it kinda dry, between tha hummin’, this beat & tha calm rappin’… Random transition to tha 1^st verse? Sounds tha same to me, here… Hearin’ tha hook & it good fa tha “Black Folks,” here; just a lil’ too dry fa me… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s okay; nothin’ special, tho… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & it str8, as well; like I said, it’s only okay… My Rating: 2.8

19. “Be Home In A Minute” feat. Prime Time

>>> A lil’ rough ta hear, here, since this sounds like somethin’ I just went through… Tha beat’s jammin’ & tha hook’s about bein’ on “lockdown,” smh! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds like tha shit you goin’ through, which I can relate; rough! Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ good; crazy that this upbeat beat goes wit this jail content! My Rating: 3.9

20. “Sprung” feat. Aldrich (AZ) Zeigler, Nickel Slick, Ray To Ray & Shype

>>> Beat okay/jammin’; anotha weird beat ta jam to… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it okay; got tha hook goin’ on, now & it’s kinda dry fa me… I mean, I get y’all wit tha “Sprung” vibe. It’s just, I’d rather not be in an R&B mood fa these reviewz, here… My Rating: 2.4

Overall: Most of this CD was good & consistent, as far as y’all settin’ a bangin’ vibe. Some of tha dry tracks, I ain’t really feel. Either way, y’all did a nice job & had some good features, as well… For a CD that mainly turned one old CD review into an entire marathon that’s been goin’ on fa 10 ½ years (since May 1, 2009), I have to say, this iz iconic, right?!
