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.
Intro
Doin’
tha damn thang to tha fullest!! >>> Sounded like a fade-in intro?
Interestin’, Jamaican style. Where do y’all get your ideas on tha intros,
outros, and skits from, lol? My Rating:
N/A
02.
“So Fresh”
Tha
hook’s cool; somethin’ simple ta like wit a 225 perspective. Pounds comin’
through wit dat greatness in tha 1st verse, though; dumb shit! Tic
sounds pretty focused throughout tha 2nd verse, keepin’ tha rhymes
consistent! “Purple—purple kush? Shid, I like dat!” :tu My Current Rating: 4.0
03.
“Quit Na” Feat. Supa (Macked Out)
Tha
full name of Supa’s name on tha back cover, lol. This should be interestin’,
especially wit tha title startin’ wit a “Q”, lol! >>> Yea, definite
plus here!! Pounds doin’ a REAL, REAL GR8 job on tha hook!! Talk about REAL
HOT, CATCHY MUSIC!!!!! :tu REALLY enjoyin’ how he comes through on tha mic to
tha fullest!! I’d give Pounds’s 1st verse on here an A+; tha shit
you DEFINITELY can luv, Southern style!! LOL, *imitates voice* SUUUP!!! He’s on
tha 2nd verse and he just tagged me in a catchy song’s video just
now on Facebook; good lookin’! It’s always
GR8 ta have Supa on tha feature; he adds dat GR8, catchy character to tha track
at all times!! Here comes Tic on tha
3rd verse, tryin’ not ta
“quit” wit tha shit he got goin’ on; sounds good fa a verse. My Rating: 4.4
04.
“We Got’em Hollin’”
Keepin’
thangz movin’… >>> GOTTA
keep tha production movin’; dumb shit!! Definitely sounds real hot and fresh
here! Tha hook’s pretty gutta wit Pounds’s gutta-ass! :tu I really like tha
“let me get a box” part when it comes ta “smokin’” dat good, good! Pounds
feelin’ HELLA good at ALL times!!! Real
catchy shit here!! This iz why Baton
Rouge lives in my heart, ya dig?!? It felt like tha
vibe switched up once Tic hopped onta tha 2nd verse, lol; good shit
here… Feelin’ these street rhymes to tha fullest; can’t help but ta immediately
luv dis shit! My Rating: 4.3
05.
“Retarded” Feat. Sophisticated
Because
of reviewin’ Pounds’s “Necessary Hustlin’”
CD, I know dat tha feature iz Sophisticated, which iz not listed on tha back
cover. As said before: I’m likin’ dis shit; nice and smooth lil’ beat wit a
crunk-soundin’ hook! Tha 1st verse’s nice; you know how you bringin’
dis quality music ta my ears, Pounds!! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty
good; Tic doin’ tha damn thang, showin’ his ass off, lol! Tha 3rd
verse from Sophisticated’s good, too; consistent shit! My Current Rating: 4.3
06.
“Momma Always Told Me”
>>>
Tha beat sounds pretty good… Ooh, sounds like an anthem despite tha title, lol!
Tha 1st verse’s soundin’ good; good shit, Tic! Gutta-soundin’ hook,
lol! Pounds comin’ through wit dat GUTTA-ASS shit on tha 2nd verse!!
Sometimes, if you deliver tha song correctly, as well as havin’ tha HOT
production, I can luv tha song, regardless what it’s about! My Rating: 4.2
07.
“Thinkin’ Of You”
I
knew I realized tha title… A beat
like this I don’t really go for. I do like that it’s sped up a lil’ but these
sample-soundin’ beats are not me at all. I really like dat you’re a BEAST on
tha vocals and mic here, Pounds!! That’s tha plus and it makes tha rhymes in
tha verses real nice! Tha hook? Ehh… nothin’ I’d comment on. Glad your voice
can keep tha interest in a song alive!! My
Current Rating: 3.9
08.
Every Tuesday (Skit)
Tell
me dis has ta do wit Shutdown “Tuesdays” from tha Fall, lol! >>> Still
sounds like a continuation from tha intro, lol. This may sound different but I
have my perspective on “Shutdown Tuesdays” (now Thursdays), lol! My Rating: N/A
½time: GR8 job, guys!! Y’all
REALLY consistent wit it, ESPECIALLY my big dawg Pounds!! Y’all at 4.2 for
tha CD rating right now!
09.
“Movin’ Birds”
You
know what it iz! >>> Sounds good; GR8 shit right here, ya dig? Tha
hook’s official and Tic’s holdin’ down tha 1st verse as well; nice
and consistent! Shit yea, dat boy Pounds doin’ a REAL GR8 job!!! Just tha start
of his lip movin’—gettin’ ready ta spit somethin’—SETS thangz off!!! DEFINITELY thumbs up ta him doin’ tha damn thang
on tha 2nd verse!! My Rating:
4.3
10.
“In My Days” Feat. Percy Campbell
Ooh,
Percy Campbell on tha feature? Have I heard dis before? Looks anticipatin’…
>>> Sounds good as far as tha production; definitely a plus here… Nice
job from tha both of y’all spittin’ CRAZY shit on tha hook! Wow, Pounds goin’ OFF here, lol!!! Tha 1st
verse’s DEFINITELY on lock!! Nothin’ but CONSISTENTNESS!!!
Tha 2nd verse from Tic sounds good; feelin’ tha content here, ya
dig? All tha shit goin’ on here iz a plus; can’t escape tha content, tha
talent, or all y’all!! LOL, he comes tha CRAZY
Percy Campbell on tha 3rd verse; REALLY likin’ how he emerged onto
tha verse!! Gotta luv what he got goin’ on wit his catchiness!! It’s like,
y’all ALL get an A+ for catchiness, ya dig? My Rating: 4.4
11.
“Be With You” Feat. Carrie A & Y-Kean
Looks
like it finna be slow. But, wit crazy-ass Pounds, it should have some tightness! >>> Yea, a lil’
slow and it starts off wit Tic; I guess I gotta wait fa tha catchiness… Tha
hook ain’t too bad; I think it flows
pretty good wit dis beat. Ooh, Pounds on tha 2nd verse: comin’
through wit a lotta shit ta say wit dat voice!
Good job wit tha 3rd verse! Here comes Y-Kean on tha 3rd
verse, doin’ a not-so-bad job rappin’… My
Rating: 3.7

LOL… >>> Very short but good; where’d tha attitude come from, lol? My Rating: N/A

“You Can Tell’em” Feat. []
LOL,
what do we got here? >>> Not bad on tha start; sounds like it could
grow. Tha hook’s pretty good and Tic’s doin’ a nice job on tha 1st
verse, spittin’ his opinion on what he has ta say. Pounds just always be goin’ off, lol!! He too crazy wit it!! No one can stop him, lol!! Keepin’ it goin’, he’s on tha 2nd
verse, too!! LOL, how much can you
spit, lol?!? It’s sooooooooo nuts!!!
Crazy-ass Pounds!!! Talk about an attitude here!!! This iz definitely crazy!!! Here’s tha 3rd verse: [] on tha
feature! That’s a 1st fa me and he comin’ through wit dat tightness!
No wonder why [] commented on tha review I did fa y’all; y’all know each other!
Glad he spittin’ dat real shit to tha fullest, makin’ dis joint sound real nice!! Just like tha BluBlack feature
on tha “Necessary Hustlin’” CD, this
was tha surprise feature on this CD! My
Rating: 4.6
14.
“So Right” Feat. Adlib
Oh
no, an Adlib feature; let’s not kill tha vibe! >>> LOL, what a quiet
start wit tha production tag from Lil’ Ken; good shit! This beat’s a lil’ too
slow but lemme hear what y’all got ta say… Somewhat-good from Tic on tha 1st
verse; good in visions of tha content. Tha hook’s pretty good from Adlib just
‘cause of tha “bubblebath”, lol. Basically, I like these bathroom terms, lol.
LOL, iz dat you, Pounds, talkin’ before tha 2nd verse, lol? Shit
yea, here you are on tha 2nd verse! LOL, this may be real smooth for
a beat but you still go off, Pounds,
lol!! Real nice; great comeback from my not-so-anticipated start! My Rating: 4.1
15.
“So Much Drama”
True,
ya dig? >>> Wow, what a gangsta
start here!!! Really feelin’ tha production and tha hook’s DEFINITELY on point!
Almost sounds familiar… Tha 1st verse from Tic’s definitely on point!! This could be his
best, based off tha shit he spittin’! Nice job wit dis consistent content! “Hit
tha muthafuckin’ weed;” Tic reppin’ hard!!! :tu Whoo!!! Uh oh, what does Pounds
have ta offer? He offerin’ real nice
shit fa tha streets!!! Just-as-equal for tha quality that Tic offered; thumbs
up!! My Rating: 4.4
16.
“I Had A Vision”
Gonna
get right into it. >>> Sounds good as far as tha production. You know Pounds had ta represent in tha
beginning! I like how tha both of y’all comin’ through on tha hook; definitely
a plus! Pounds, aren’t you glad dat I’m listenin’, ya feel me? Here’s Tic on
tha 1st verse, doin’ a pretty-good job… Yea, y’all definitely “[rappin’ y’all asses] off”
to tha fullest!! And speakin’ of, here’s Pounds on tha 2nd verse,
comin’ through wit dat pure voice!!! Real-good job right there, Pounds!! Tic
finishin’ dis off wit tha 3rd verse, spittin’ some mo hot shit.
Pounds comin’ through wit some mo shit, too; dumb shit!! My Rating: 4.3
17.
