Review #214: Lil' Slim "The Game Is Cold"

Reviewed on 5.24.2009 (Review #214)

Frankie's back today, May 24, 2009. Still at tha cabin, and now, I 'bout to continue my marathon. This'll be tha last one from tha marathon today due to tha next review iz from a cassette tape, which I have on Long Island, so I'ma have ta wait 'til I get back there tomorrow. Anyway, here's my review fa Lil' Slim "The Game Is Cold"! I noticed some features, so I'm really lookin' forward!! This might also be tha earliest review I've eva done during tha morning! Start Time: 10:55 AM | End Time: 11:55 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 or have auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Intro
With an anticipating imagination, what can I expect fa tha intro? >>> Sounds like random samplin'... Tha "bounce--biggity--bounce..." part tells me that this gon be wit Bounce style? Good intro, yet it gets me anticipated! My Rating: N/A


02. "Bounce Slide Ride"
So this iz what tha intro was introducing me into, lol. Looks like I'll be anticipated to hear it! >>> Your "biiiiiiiitch" parts remind me of DJ Jimi... Sounds like good rappin' wit a long 1st verse... Oh, I think it just went into tha hook 'cause I heard tha title? Good shit still. I like tha real fast rappin'. A lot goin' on here... I like how you want "girbaud jeans" in tha 2nd verse. Nice wit tha repeatin' shit 'cause sometimes, I can't catch everything at first, so hearin' it multiple times helps. LOL @ tha "3rd ward dick/10th ward pussy;" different warded sexual actions, lol! I get tired of whateva that "ba-da-da-da-dah" sample iz throughout some of tha beat, but more during tha ending. Still, this was a great song right chea. Ewe, it ended wit tha "ba-da-da-da-dah..." My Rating: 4.1


03. "Niggaz Ain't Nothing But Niggaz" Feat. B-32 & MC Heavy
Ooh, look at tha length goin' on here!!! Almost a 6 minute song wit a NICE title and 2 featured people, so you KNOW I wanna hear this one!! >>> LOL, B-32 iz tha 1st dude on this shit, and he sounds GREAT on this shit! I like this beat betta than tha previous beat! I like all tha different wards and places wit tha "shoot 'em up" parts. I guess all tha shit repeatin' makes tha length long, and B-32 did his thang wit this shit. Now, MC Heavy wants ta spit some shit... All tha "car jackin' and kidnappin'" iz pretty bad, but people don't wanna stop. Now, B-32 & MC Heavy combining here wit tha "car jackin'/kidnappin'!" Great shit all tha way through. Although people wanna try and "change tha world" (like my latest song), tha title explains it all. My Rating: 4.2
EDIT: There's a lil' mix-up in tha ID's, so I'm gonna say that tha ending was tha "commercial".


04. Commercial
[I screwed up tha preview, so there was none.] >>> Ooh, there's a phone call at tha end... Too bad that bitch-ass iz hatin' on tha Bounce shit. No "biiiiiiiiiiiiiitch," dumb-ass at tha end. My Rating: N/A


05. "Bounce Slide Ride (Radio)"
Oh, it's just a clean version of #2... See #2 fa tha review!


½time: I gotta take a shit; hold on... *Leaves at 11:15 AM* *Returns at 11:26 AM* Okay, based off of 2 songs (pretty much), tha shit sounds GREAT! Lil' Slim, you anotha GREAT rappa outta Louisiana, as well as collaboratin' wit people on yo tape right chea! I'm DEFINITELY lookin' forward to tha rest, ya dig!


06. "Hoes I U's 2 Sweat" Feat. MC Heavy, B-32 & Yella
What's that title (exactly)? Looks good 'cause of tha collaboration! >>> I like tha beat intro here! More "biiiiiitch" shit, lol! I like tha "kickin' it--kickin' it" part. I like tha "want a polo" part too on this shit. I see what tha title iz now... LOL @ "U's" fa "used"; nice. You DEFINITELY did yo thang on this shit, makin' tha hoes smile! Now, B-32 iz here! He doin' his thang, as usual! Tha verse collaborated, and tha shit sounded nice. Sounds like Yella iz at tha end. LOL @ his "pussy smellin'" part; good shit right chea, and NICE collaboration! My Rating: 3.9


07. "Where Your Ward At!!" Feat. PxMxWx
Anotha collaboration!! This time, wit PxMxWx (which I'm gonna hear them fa tha 1st time)! I'm lookin' forward to their shit that I have (which I think their 1st tape I have in my marathon iz called "Legalize "Pass Tha Weed""! Now, let's hear this (looks like an anthem)! >>> A similar type fast beat here... LOL @ tha hook. There's not much of an attitude in it, but it definitely sounded catchy. Fa'got ta mention: Tha 1st verse/intro part was good too. Tha next 2 verses (tha verses are real quick on this song) were GREAT fa this too! Ooh, "'bout to smoke a fast..." on this shit! Now, time to hear PxMxWx!!! Nice short part from tha one dude from PxMxWx (or iz PxMxWx one dude? EDIT: It iz one dude. Shit, I thought it was a few dudes)! Cool "ya heard me. Biatttttttttttch!" part at around 3:10! My Rating: 4.3


08. "The Game Is Cold" Feat. B-32
This should be anotha good one!! >>> Definitely feelin' tha beat here, and it starts wit B-32 this time! He DEFINITELY doin' his thang on this shit; nice job! Feelin' tha typical drug life lyrics from him at all times!! I don't know why they ID'd it as "Cold In The Game" (whoeva I got this from online), but it sounds like this iz tha title track ("The Game Is Cold"). Likin' tha "nigga--ni--niggigty--nigga" parts a WHOLE LOT towards tha 2nd 1/2 of tha 3 minute mark!!! My Rating: 4.4


09. Shot Out!!
Lemme hear what we got... >>> I like how you say "ya heard me;" almost sounds like "ya hoid me," lol. Not bad "shot out", lol. My Rating: N/A


10. Outro
I thought that "shot out" was tha outro...? >>> Sounds like tha intro... I guess nice refresh of what tha intro sounded like... I like how it ended with "goodnight." My Rating: N/A


11. Commercial
Anotha commercial? Shit, this tape knows how to continue, lol! >>> Yea, good thing tha dude was nice this time wit you "bringin' dat Bounce music" to tha table! My Rating: N/A


Overall: Tha review lasted an exact hour. Although there weren't that many songs, it was DEFINITELY a nice tape! Slim, you a GREAT rapper, and I hope you're still around!! Thanx fa puttin' this HOT tape together 'cause you did yo thang, no less bringin' a bunch of featured artists on tracks! If you still alive, keep doin' yo thang!
