Review #798: Thug Brothers "Diamonds In Tha Dirt"

Reviewed on 12.29.2010 (Review #798)


My 9th review of tha day, which iz tha end of tha hard copies for now: Thug Brothers “Diamonds In Tha Dirt”! This has an unknown year as well as no tracklisting and no front cover available. Start Time: 10:26 PM | End Time: 10:55 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.

12.
>>> “2007 & 8;” iz dat when dis’s from? Pretty consistent ‘bout tha “rims” and how they “keep spinnin’”! Y’all like tha Ville Boyz a lil’ bit wit how y’all a group dat’s really consistent on tha CDs!! Glad there’s buku groups; it just means more greatness ta offer!! My Rating: 4.4


13.
>>> Ooh, hot production here! I really like how y’all rap to tha beat on tha hook! “Unlikely” iz now a tight word, lol! Y’all doin’ tha damn thang, once again!! Or should I say, for tha 12th time on here, lol!! Consistent shit once again, ya dig? My Rating: 4.6


14.
>>> Somewhat-long, hot beat intro here… I like tha ‘poppin’ pillz’ shit goin’ on here, lol. Y’all jammin’ to this beat, too; good shit! My Rating: 4.5


15.
>>> Thought tha start of tha beat was gonna sound real familiar but it’s not. Ooh, did I hear somethin’-“Max Minelli”? Tha “I ain’t hard ta find” shit sounds tight, ya dig? LOL, B.G. randomly appeared! He’s doin’ a nice job on tha 1st verse; have I heard dis before? I’m really likin’ dis combo! “Black ‘Bauds;” can’t ask fa anything betta!! Ooh, Max Minelli’s up next, doin’ tha damn thang, too!! Great collaboration; it’ll prolly keep growin’!! LOL, Lil’ Boosie? Good shit from him, too! LOL, Sam I Am comin’ outta nowhere; how in tha hell did I guess tha features were gonna keep increasin’?!? Tight-ass shit!!! I dunno if I’ll be able ta name everyone so I’ll just consider dat it’s a part of tha group… Boosie’s even spittin’ a verse toward tha end; good shit! This whole thang’s definitely official!! My Rating: 4.7


16.

Why’d he have ta go?!? At least my boy Crooked came into my life thanx ta Big Markee! Great collaboration!! Wish I knew more about this CD… I hope ta get a tracklisting, soon! Lotta shit he spittin’; good-ass shit!!! My Rating: 4.6


17.
>>> Pretty-long song… Somewhat slow and tha vocals in tha background make it sound a lil’ sad; somewhat annoyin’ here and there… Glad y’all got tha street shit goin’ on; that’s a plus. Tha production’s nice and tha rappin’ sounds consistent; feelin’ tha street content at all times!! Even tha talkin’ at times iz cool ta hear. My Rating: 4.1


18.
>>> Ugh, hope this CD ain’t dyin’… I don’t like dis beat; gay-soundin’ sample, too! Y’all rappin’ pretty good on tha beat, itself, but dat annoyin’-ass sample kills tha mood fa me! Again, good content but tha Baton Rouge vibe ain’t here fa me. My Rating: 3.5


19.
>>> Last song iz over five minutes; let’s hear dis… Sounds good; glad we’re back ta normal shit! Or should I say, “dumb shit, tha gutta way,” accordin’ to y’all? LOL, you know what it iz! Damn, tha rappin’s definitely nice; really representin’ here!! Real nice attitude as well as tha rhymes!! Good-ass job, ya dig? My Rating: 4.6


Overall: Everything but #18 definitely kept this shit real, real hot!!! Y’all did a real great job; I’m on ya team, ya dig? Fuck wit me!
