Review #659: Young Tre "Welcome To Trap City"

Reviewed on 9.12.2010 (Review #659)


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!
