Reviewed on 3.04.2011 (Review #853)




Anotha day of reviewin’… First up, Lil’ Ganggsta returns wit his “Black Mask, Gold Grill (Hosted by DJ Fletch & DJ 5150)” mixtape! Start Time: 8:20 AM | End Time: 8:41 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. 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.

09. “Fuck The Police (Remix)” Feat. Lil’ Boosie
Oh yea, remember I helped you out wit dis; I believe I found tha instrumental file for you. Neva actually heard it so lemme hear… >>> Sounds a lil’ lower than tha previous jointz? Good content, of course. Ugh, dat hook; usually, I like dis shit but I’m not too crazy about tha hook… You prolly could’ve did some shit or hire someone ta do it. My Rating: 3.7

Neva saw on a mixtape but tha reason I know of dis iz ‘cause I been helpin’ you out all tha time. Regardless of dis beat, you, of course, “do (ya) thang” wit your style, in a catchy way. LOL @ all tha “shhhhhhhhh” in tha hook; interestin’, private-type shit! My Current Rating: 4.2


13. “She Wanna Nigga”
You should perform at Top Notch Thursdays at Club Diamondz in Baton Rouge; it’s on ‘n’ poppin’ there, as I promote dat club! Anyway, how many catchy jointz you got, overall? You have a great amount of topics at all times!! My Current Rating: 4.2

LOL, a new one fa me! >>> Ooh, definitely nice; glad you got people wit you!! You keepin’ tha real shit comin’ along, here; thumbs up!! LOL, Ruthless really comin’ through on tha 2nd verse wit tha tight-ass shit!!! His voice stands out; glad it’s clear and tight as fuck!! ROFL, automatically admittin’, “I’m fulla dem drugs;” funny… Where’s Warfare? Didn’t hear him—iz there gonna be a full version soon or somethin’? My Rating: 4.6


16. “Man In Da Mirror”
LOL @ tha “da” in tha title, now. This iz still a pretty-good joint produced by Mod Productions. Anything for tha Ganggsta shit, ya dig? My Current Rating: 3.9


Overall: Didn’t think I knew that many jointz on here—most of ‘em. I guess you savin’ tha new music for an album? It’s almost like you leaked tha whole “Da General Vol. 2” on here when dat’s on CDBaby & iTunes…
