Keepin’
tha reviewz goin’, my 1st one for today iz my boy Young Tre (now known as L.A. Tre). It’s
tha follow-up to his “Capitol Punishment
Vol. 1”, which was released shortly before this CD I finna review. I wasn’t
aware that it was uploaded October 27, 2009; I would’ve reviewed it last year!
But, I’m reviewin’ it now ‘cause I know
Tre has a new CD out! So, here goes my review for Young Tre “Welcome To Trap City”!
Start Time: 10:37 AM | End Time: 11:27 AM
Quick Note: 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) so 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.

01.
“Welcome To My World” Feat. Faith Imani
I
dunno about tha feature’s name for a start here but let’s see… >>> Tha
beat sounds nice here; you have a good ear for beats at times! Tha girl sounds
like a teenager… Good rappin’ from you, Tre, on tha verse! Feelin’ these rhymes
and how it combines wit this beat! My
Rating: 4.2
02.
“In This World”
I
feel tha anticipatin’ ‘bout ta react! >>> Yea, likin’ tha beat here!!
Tha hook’s pretty nice here; on dat street-type shit! Interestin’ shit you
spittin’ in tha 1st verse; all about grindin’! I like tha “anti-social”
part in tha 2nd verse! I’m like dat when it comes ta people not sure
of sayin’, “hi,” to me. I rather them say it to me when I’m not lookin’ at them
in order fa me to start a conversation. Tha 3rd verse iz on some
“trap-life”-type shit here; sounds good wit how you come wit it! My Rating: 4.3
03.
“Gon Swerve”
Somethin’
tells me I “gon” REALLY like dis one, I guess ‘cause tha title/topic!!
>>> Sounds pretty anticipatin’ once again wit tha beginning and you in
tha beginning! Yea, this iz DEFINITELY tha shit wit tha hook!! Luv how tha
title always appears and I like tha “gon swerve side ta side, boi” shit! :tu
Tha 1st verse sounds cool; nothin’ but dat quality, undaground,
Louisiana Rap music!! Tha 2nd verse iz keepin’ it cool wit err-thang
goin’ on once again; dumb shit! My
Rating: 4.6
04.
“’Bout To Go Down”
I
like dis title; lookin’ forward once again! >>> LOL, wow, that’s some
TIGHT keys in tha beginning!! ROFL, tha beat sounds REAL, REAL HOT in tha
hook!! Luv that sound!!! You’re doin’ ya thang on tha hook!! Tha rappin’s
interestin’ on tha 1st verse wit tha beat just doin’ tha damn
thang!! Tha 2nd verse iz also pretty nice here; “it’s about ta go
down!!” I’m lookin’ at tha description and tha info about this mixtape and it
says, “re-release,” but also, “Young Tre.” This was tha ‘07/’08 Tre I knew from
Jimmy The DJ’s “Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1”,
when I first heard you! You sound betta than eva; glad I’m hearin’ this now!
Nice job wit tha 3rd verse too; cold ending on tha track!! My Rating: 4.6
05.
“How U Want It”
Let’s
keep it goin’!! >>> Yea!! This ANOTHA tight beat fa me!! Tha hook’s
REAL NICE here wit tha “girbauds and new kicks;” dumb shit, 100%!!! Tha 1st
verse iz cool fa what it iz; you KNOW
this shit goes hard as fuck!! Nice rhymes in tha 2nd verse here;
doin’ it STRICTLY fa tha Boot!! Tha 3rd
verse iz tight wit what you comin’ through; nice and consistent here!! My Rating: 4.5
06.
“Flossin’”
I
feel anticipated fa EVERY SINGLE SONG, lol!!! >>> Damn, just when I
thought tha beat was just decent on tha first few seconds, it just KICKS IN
HARD, lol!! Tha hook’s NICE here wit tha beat doin’ tha damn thang!!! Nice job
here wit tha consistent-ass 1st verse!! Err-thang “fresh” here on
this “fresh”-soundin’ beat!! VERY crazy shit bein’ spit in tha 2nd
verse; it’s just TOO consistent!!! There wasn’t enough room fa a 3rd
verse but for some reason, I’m just likin’ this more than tha otha songs! My Rating: 4.7
½time: This shit iz BANANAS, ya
heard me?!? So far, a NICE 4.5 average CD rating!!! That’s BIG and you just
KEEPIN’ thangz HOT!!!
07.
“My Hat, My Shirt”
Looks
like a swag song; what’ll it sound like wit you on it? >>> Okay, tha
other beats were hotter than this. Tha hook sounds cool and it sounds like tha
new-L.A. Tre than Young Tre in tha vocals a lil’. Tha end of tha hook sounded
like “Leather So Soft”? Good lil’ 1st verse, though. LOL @ tha 2nd
verse: “My car growl like a lion when I hit tha gas!” That’s some shit right
there! “$200 underwear”? LOL, fa real? Dumb shit, lol!! LOL, this should’ve
been tha song ta have two verses and tha otha song should’ve had three! Tha 3rd
verse was straight… My Rating: 4.0
08.
“Broke Up Wit My Girl” Feat. Jaxz
What
could this be like? I dunno what I’ll expect… >>> Okay, we’re back to
tha hot beats! Sounds nice and it sounds like tha ‘07/’08 Tre here, lol. Nice
job doin’ ya thang on tha 1st verse here. LOL, not an A-Tune hook?
For some reason, it sounded funny to me in tha beginning but I can’t take it
serious! Tha 2nd verse’s not bad from you here; my interest iz kinda
shot now, though. Tha 3rd verse’s pretty good too… My Rating: 3.1
09.
“Top Notch Chick”
Before
Boosie’s “Top Notch”, lol; what’ll it sound like? >>> Cool beat start;
sounds good on tha hook. Tha 1st verse’s decent for me; sounds like
dedication here. Tha 2nd verse iz more about this “TNC”, lol. But,
I’m slowly losin’ interest, especially since I know there’s anotha 2:02 left…
See, tha 3rd verse kinda soundin’ sour for me! I’m gonna rate tha
otha song higher ‘cause it just sounded betta. My Rating: 3.0
10.
“I’m Out Here” Feat. Young Son
And, before Young Bleed &
Freize’s song this time, lol! You had these titles first so let’s see what you
got! >>> Okay, tha beat start kicked in pretty hard fa me ta like it
on start! I like how it’s pronounced “hurr” on tha hook; VERY catchy hook from
tha title to tha 2nd ½ wit tha “fall back” shit! Ooh, tha 1st
verse was soundin’ good from you. But, I’m hearin’ Young Son on tha 2nd
¼ of tha 1st verse and he’s doin’ tha damn thang here; tight voice
on tha track! You’re on tha 3rd ¼ and it’s pretty good too; I wanna
keep hearin’ Young Son!! Shit, yea! He appeared on tha 4th ¼, doin’
his thang! Then, tha 2nd hook came and sounds hot once again!! LOL,
my boy Young Son on tha 2nd verse, doin’ his thang!! LMAO, here you
are on tha 2nd ¼ of tha 2nd verse, stealin’ his shine,
lol! Son’s on tha 3rd ¼, doin’ his thang wit tha kick-ass shit!
You’re on tha 4th ¼, spittin’ some gutta shit too! Here’s Young Son
startin’ off tha 3rd verse; “goes down in tha South!” Most definitely,
my boy! Here you are on tha 2nd ¼ of tha 3rd verse, Tre,
lol! Nice job right there but now, Son’s on tha 3rd ¼, “buildin’”
them “stacks up!” You’re on tha 4th ¼ and between tha gutta rhymes
and TIGHT beat, it’s a REAL NICE combo!! Nice ending wit tha “iron” shit; GR8
alternations in tha verses!!! :tu My
Rating: 4.7
11.
“What U ‘Bout”
Anotha
“’bout” song; let’s see… >>> Yes, luvin’ this beat already!! VERY NICE
sounds used!!! Tha hook’s pretty tight; nice job, Tre!! You REALLY holdin’ down
tha 1st verse wit tha gutta content here; nice job and keep it
goin’!! Tha 2nd verse iz also on some G-shit too; good job, Tre!
Feelin’ what you got goin’ on here in tha 3rd verse; just nothin’
but dat tight shit from you!! Even
ending tha song wit dat REAL GR8 beat!!! My
Rating: 4.5
12.
“Street Life”
You
KNOW wit a title like dis, dis’ll be
REAL GR8 ta hear!!! >>> Beat sounds nice here; sounds like a cool song
ta hear! Tha hook’s pretty good; “doin’
it fa yo hood!” Tha 1st
verse iz pretty nice here; got some nice shit goin’ on when it comes ta tha
content! Cool 2nd verse too; keep it goin’! You almost sound like
Curren$y on tha 3rd verse here; keepin’ tha kick-assness comin’
along here!! My Rating: 4.4
13.
“I’m In The Hood”
LMAO,
what an old-ass song for me!! This iz where it ALL STARTED when I first heard it November 27, 2007; VERY OLD date,
lol!! I only rated it a 3.8 on a 1st listen but now, this iz MUCH
betta!! Tha beat’s pretty nice and tha “I’m In The Hood” sample sounds GR8 on
tha hook! Tha 1st verse has those REAL NICE rhymes in it; glad I
heard you back then ‘cause that’s what made me keep up wit you! :tu Pretty
gutta perspective here in tha 2nd verse, just comin’ through wit dat
tightness!! Tha 3rd verse iz also tight wit your content and
perspectives! Didn’t realize this song was almost five minutes long too, lol! My Current Rating: 4.5
Overall: Just REAL GR8 shit from
you, Tre!! REAL GLAD you compiled these GR8 13 songs onto a disc via DatPiff!!
Keep up tha GR8 work!! We’ll see how your current
CD does, lol!
