Review #925: GT Da Boss "Death Of My Dreams"

Reviewed on 3.30.2011 (Review #925)




Got anotha review, here; might even be tha final one of tha month? GT Da Boss, wit Hustle Hard Music Group, “Death Of My Dreams”! I can apply to tha title, now (as of this month), ‘cause I’m startin’ ta do in-person business! Start Time: 12:44 PM | End Time: 1:04 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. “The Life I Lead”
I don’t see any features on this CD so there might be? >>> Gay beat start, ugh…; why start wit a beat like dis? Could’ve ended wit somethin’ like dis. Somewhat-good rhymes but you said, “swag”? That word shouldn’t even mix wit dis… Tha hook sounds betta than tha whole song, fa me. My Rating: 2.7


02. “Hustlehard (What It Means To Me)”
>>> For some reason, I’m likin’ tha singin’ on tha hook, here, especially wit tha “hustle” topic; definite plus!! Tha attitude iz betta, here; likin’ this shit from you wit tha consistent rhymes! This iz tha kinda shit I expect from you; keep dis up! My Rating: 4.3


03. “Get Money”
>>> Sounds like a pre-made hook; not good ta hear… Tha shit you got here’s nice wit tha Vybe beat; good job, once again! My Rating: 3.9


04. “Know Your Role”
Glad every single word in tha title’s spelled correctly! >>> Nice beat but a lil’ too long wit tha beat intro… Tha singin’ on this hook iz good but scary, at tha same time; I guess tha content helps, here? This iz a decent song; not bad, overall, as I’m glad you got content on lock! My Rating: 3.7


05. “Don’t Take It Personal”
>>> Scary female voice in tha beginning… Damn, dat voice iz repeatin’ all throughout tha song? Good rhymes and beat, here, but that female voice has ta go! Tha hook’s good wit tha singin’, too. My Rating: 3.3


06. “Swerve & Swang”
>>> Much betta topic; fits wit where you at although tha beat could’ve been a lil’ more Southern than mainstream, here. Tha rhymes are good, although they’re more on tha “hustle” tip than “swerve/swang” tip. My Rating: 3.8


½time: Looks like this CD’s only decent fa me; 3.6 for tha current CD rating.


07. “Roll Wit Me”
>>> Not crazy about tha hook; would’ve rather had you sing it… This beat sounds weak so let’s see what you got… For a female song, it’s barely aight fa me; I think if there was a lil’ more tightness, this could’ve been betta… My Rating: 3.0


08. “Beside Myself” Feat. High Risk & Celebrity
>>> This sounds more like a beat I would’ve expected; “shout out ta B-Real”? Did he produce dis? This sounds interestin’ wit tha “beside myself” shit; good combo, especially wit this beat! Even a lil’ gangsta shit comin’ outta you, here? Good shit…; definitely a nice style! My Rating: 4.3


09. “Pimpolicious” Feat. Zman & J Boy
>>> Damn, not an ’07 beat, I hope? Okay, good thing it changed up! We’re in ’11, now, and if this iz called “Death Of My Dreams”, it has ta be tha death of mine, too, since I’m not wit those “talk-on-tha-phone-fa-a-maximum-of-90-seconds” people! Tha beat, overall, iz nice and I like this title/subject. “Suck it like a white gurl;” whoa, lol?! Good song, overall; much-betta-soundin’ female song. My Rating: 3.8


10. “Walk It Like I Talk It”
>>> Ooh, tha beat went to tha HQ-soundin’ sound, here, on tha intro! Good long-ass beat intro, lol. Tha rhymes are cool, here, and you keepin’ tha street shit on ‘n’ poppin’… LOL, once tha hook comes on, it sounds like tha volume’s on tha blastin’ level, lol! Good job wit tha hook; you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.1


11. “One Deep”
>>> A Pop-soundin’ beat start? Unanticipatin’ intro but tha beat sounds a lil’ betta, now, and tha hook ain’t too bad… Rhymes are good, overall; good content, too. “That’s why I’m grippin’ on my balls, hollain’, ‘fuck all y’all!’,” lol? What does touchin’ yourself/holdin’ your “balls” have ta do wit tha middle finger or a ‘fuck you’, lol? Definitely likin’ tha attitude, though! My Rating: 3.7


12. “DOMD”
Title track, in just letters. >>> This sounds good fa a track fa your streetz; nice job wit tha hook, too, as you’re official wit what you be doin’ fa your hood. My Rating: 3.6


13. “Soul Survivor”
Think you might’ve sent me this? I rememba tha title but I went and radio-edited shorter/betta songs. Anyway, lemme rehear/review… >>> An aight hook; tha singin’ iz good and tha beat ain’t too bad although it sounds like it took tha idea wit tha symbols… Good rhymes, overall; feelin’ tha Southern vibe. My Rating: 3.7


Overall: LMAO, I got 0 reviewz left, fa now! I can finally catch up on other things!!!!! It felt like bein’ locked up in jail since June 5, 2010, when this bein’-behind shit started!! Anyway, pretty-good CD; keep up tha good work!
