Review #708: Lil' Phat "RNR (Hosted by Bigga Rankin)"

Reviewed on 12.19.2010 (Review #708)

My 10^th and final review for today! I would continue but I have to calculate my latest personal playlist’s spins (since it’s every three Sundays). But, I did 10 (better than my set of eight for a day) so I’m happy! Here’s my review for Lil’ Phat “RNR (Hosted by Bigga Rankin)”! Start Time: 10:03 PM | End Time: 10:41 PM

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. 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. “All The Way” (3Deep Feat. DJ B-Real)

It wasn’t included in tha folder I got… However, I found out later that it’s “All The Way”, 3Deep featuring DJ B-Real! My Current Rating: 4.5

02. “Do It, Stick It” (3Deep)

How will this start? >>> ROFL, it’s “Do It, Stick It” from 3Deep; classic shit here! Short version here so it’s just Mouse on tha feature. LOL, you sound young here (yea, I know it was a while ago. It just seems odd dat three/four years went by already)! It seems like yesterday dat I reviewed dis for tha first time! LOL, “Watch My Shoes” comin’ up next!!! My Current Rating: 4.5

03. “Watch My Shoes” (3Deep)

Time fa some “Watch My Shoes”; you already know how TIGHT dis song was for me in Late 2007/Early 2008! Oh, I guess dis was a GR8 day ta do 10 reviewz ‘cause it was three years ago today dat I made my superstar phone call to my boy Jimmy The DJ, bein’ on tha phone wit a non-family member for tha 1^st time for at least 20 minutes!! It REALLY bursted me onto tha scene!! My Current Rating: 4.8

04. “Independent” Feat. Webbie

LOL, more classic shit from dat ‘07/’08 range! Who would’ve thought it’d be an era; we created it! My Current Rating: 4.4

05. “I’m A Dog” (Lil’ Boosie Feat. Lil’ Phat)

>>> Don’t think I know dis one? Sounds good wit Boosie on it… Boosie’s pretty focused here; good shit! “Dawg” to tha fullest! You spittin’ good shit on tha 2^nd verse, keepin’ it goin’! My Current Rating: 4.3

06. “Do It Bigger” Feat. Webbie

LOL, time fa some “Do It Bigger”!! Instead of just one or two minutes, three-and-a-half minutes are here, lol! What tha hell? Oh yea, I had tha remix; sounds like a weird version. I dunno even know who tha featured person iz… LOL, Webbie stayed on here, though. Regardless, tha remix iz better for me… My Rating: 4.3

07. “Top Notch” (Lil’ Boosie Feat. Mouse & Lil’ Phat)

ROFL! It’s “Top Notch”; luved dis shit when it came outta nowhere on peoples’ mixtapes and shit! This song reminds me of tha French commercial I made for Boosie’s CD last year, lol. You know it’s “top notch” tha whole way ‘round, doin’ a nice job here wit Boosie & Mouse! My Current Rating: 4.5

08. “Tote Dat Fire (Remix)” (Certified Feat. Lil’ Phat)

>>> A “remix”? What do we got here? A remix to someone’s song I don’t know over a Vybe beat. He almost sounds like T-Bo a lil’ bit. It’s decent, on a gangsta level. Since there’s “RNR” listed in tha description of tha files, I’ll just title this mixtape as “RNR”, standin’ for “Real Nigga Radio”, tha Bigga Rankin series. Oh, a OneLyfe artist? Where tha hell are you, Phat? I don’t get dis… My Rating: 3.8

½time: Because I didn’t know there was an intro at first, I did a ½ time from seven songs. Either way, it didn’t affect tha ½ mark’s rating. Pretty good shit here; 4.4 for tha CD rating so far!

09. “For My Niggas” (Swayze Baby Feat. Lil’ Phat & Webbie)

>>> Iz this that “My Niggaz”—it iz. It’s, like, an anthem! Even though I neva got tha chance to play it, it’s a hot song! LOL, this was a Vybe beat tha whole time? Sounded pretty tight! I thought this was, like, an original, mainstream beat instead, lol. My Current Rating: 4.0

10. “NBA Ballers” Feat. Pimp C

>>> Sounds like a 305 intro… Also, I hear tha “RNR” shit in tha beginning. It must be some new songs right chea. Anyway, what TIGHTNESS from Pimp C in tha 1^st verse!! Oh, it’s tha “NBA” song; good shit! Glad this made it; anotha anthem from you, bruh! My Current Rating: 4.5

11. “Never Fuck Without A Rubber” Feat. Bun B & Webbie

>>> Whoa!! Anotha Pimp C sample, on a funny tip (“neva fuck without a rubber”)!! :rofl Don’t think I heard this before but it’s definitely tight! You know what it iz when it’s dat skeet, skeet, skeet music, LMAO!! Bun B takin’ ova tha 2^nd verse here, havin’ a good flow. Ooh, Webbie’s hoppin’ onto tha 3^rd verse, doin’ a nice job, too. My Rating: 4.4

12. “Count My Money Backwards” Feat. Webbie

>>> Thumbs up on tha phone number in tha beginning although if I’m hittin’ up Phat, it has to be a real number of his! I tried hittin’ up a number earlier in tha year and someone didn’t take me serious, smh. Anyway, anotha anthem here! “[Countin’ dat] money backwards!” :tu Glad this made it on here, too! Phat, you a fool on dis hook, ya dig? My Current Rating: 4.4

13. “They Hate (Remix)” Feat. Swayze Baby & Webbie

>>> ROFL, anotha classic—oh wait, it’s “They Hate”, lol. I thought it was “Take A Puff”. This iz still good, though! LOL, it’s longer than tha version on “Life Of A Yungsta Vol. 1”? LOL… ROFL, must be a remix ‘cause someone else iz on tha 2^nd verse (all these mysterious dudes outta nowhere, lol)! Tha rappin’ seems continuous, so that’s a plus. ROFL, Webbie came through on tha 3^rd verse, too! I think I just liked tha original version betta but this iz good, too. My Rating: 4.4

14. “Retarded” Feat. Big Poppa

This one’s a lil’ over four minutes; let’s see what we got… >>> Sounds familiar; you know it’s good once again! Oh, tha song wit Big Poppa; good choice! Nothin’ but dat consistent shit dat ya gotta luv! Huh, anotha feature on tha 3^rd verse, lol? They weren’t sourced on “Death Before Dishonor” so why are they still mysterious to me? My Current Rating: 4.6

15. Outro

Time ta end dis… >>> Sounds like a song fa 49 seconds ‘cause of tha beat. Oh, just an outro wit a good beat; good shit. I think tha intro was missin’ from tha folder for some reason… My Rating: N/A

Overall: Although I didn’t know what some of tha newbies were (titles and artists), this was a pretty good mixtape from you, Phat! You brought some tight songs dat are classics and some different versions; good shit! Keep up tha GR8 work, Phat!
