Review #997: Legend Man "Pressure & Pain"

Reviewed on 6.10.2011 (Review #997)




Up to my 5th review for today; three more afta this!!! Here’s Legend Man “Pressure & Pain”! Start Time: 10:42 AM | End Time: 11:10 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.

01. “Thug With Me”
Fa sho, lol! >>> Almost sounds like 50 Cent in tha beginning, lol; really likin’ “fear”? Sounds pretty serious… Tha beat sounds like some hot shit…; ooh, a G-Funk sound on tha hook wit a gurl singin’! Sounds like some tight rappin’, as you start off wit “as tha odds against me!” This iz a jam fa tha gangstas and prolly would’ve sounded like a good mainstream song, too! My Rating: 4.4


02. “It’s All In The Game”
Fa sho, too, lol! >>> Good intro; “I’m on a mission for cream” ta kick off tha 1st verse! Sounds like you livin’ a paranoid life; crazy shit! Tha rhymes are great and you sound a lil’ like Tupac, at times; tha hook’s definitely nice wit tha “we smoke weed…!!” Tha outro sounds nice; sounds like a fast-ass verse, lol! “Death Row;” guess you are affiliated wit Pac? My Rating: 4.3


03. “Hard To Trust Ya”
>>> Beat sounds like it gon be good… Tha beat sounds nice wit your kick-ass rhymes ova it, ya dig? “Crazy told me…;” you mess wit “Crazy”? Seems like you fuck wit tha big dawgs! Good job wit tha rhymes and tha hook sounds nice wit this singin’; nothin’ but consistent rhymes comin’ from you at all times!! My Rating: 4.3


04. “Means Of Survival”
This should be good! >>> Tha beat sounds nice; feelin’ tha vibe and tha rhymes should make this a classic!! Definitely feelin’ tha Tupac-soundin’ rhymes, here, wit gangsta shit ta fill a room fulla G’s!!! Sounds like a featured dude on this that’s not sourced? Either way, thumbs up fa tha consistency and kick-assness!!! My Rating: 4.7


05. “Heaven For A G”
Looks like it gon be a sad song… >>> Sounds like Hannibal’s excitin’ “ooh” in tha beginning, lol! However, I think this iz more on tha sad tip; I’m feelin’ tha G-soundin’ singin’ on tha hook, ya feel me? Tha rhymes are good fa tha gangstaz; always a continuous, motivational mission! My Rating: 4.1


06. “Me & My Dogs”
Just like my big “dawg” Murdafeen!! >>> Tha beat sounds good and it has a slightly different vibe than Murdafeen’s; good shit, here! Sounds good wit this collaboration of who this iz wit you; consistent rhymes fa a motivational mission, once again!! My Rating: 4.3


07. “Pressure & Pain (Singing Version)”
LOL, a singing version, vs. a short length? >>> A female, here; let’s see how she does… Almost sounds like a skit fa me but it’s good… My Rating: 3.8


½time: You got 4.3 for tha CD rating, currently; that’s how great you are wit dis Rap shit fa tha streetz!!!


08. “Misery & Suffering”
>>> Sounds like tha same female from tha previous song; pretty good-soundin’ song, here… Tha rhymes are fast and consistent; thumbs up fa keepin’ tha consistency alive!! My Rating: 4.0


09. “I Hold My Own” Feat. Crazy
Shit yea! >>> I like how it sounds like you’re waking up in tha beginning; thumbs up fa tha 504 dialect! Still likin’ how you still sound like Tupac; “it’s funny,” like you just said, lol! Tha 2nd verse sounds like a tight dude; sounds like someone different? Definitely some nice rhymes and content, here!! “Got me dressed like a soldja!” “Crazy as tha kingpin;” iz dat him on tha feature? Yea, I heard you talk ta him on tha 3rd verse; good-ass shit!! My Rating: 4.5


10. “Eastside Till I Am Finished”
Let’s see what dis iz about. >>> Sounds a lil’ like a Master P-soundin’ song (or C-Murder) on this hook; good, interestin’ shit, here! Even addin’ a female on tha hook; lol, feelin’ her English singin’ of tha word “Eastside,” lol! Tha rappin’ sounds good; you got shit on lock when it comes ta handlin’ people, ya feel me? My Rating: 4.4


11. “Thy Heavenly Father”
Not really a fan of a title like dis… >>> Tha beat sounds good and your Tupac-delivery sounds great, here; such a gangsta-ass vibe fa tha gangstas!! “Money’s my weakness;” glad it’s not a “weakness” fa me! Ooh, tha hook sounds good wit tha delivery, at least; this ain’t even close to a disappointment!! I like how tha hook was a prayer, delivered like a kick-ass verse!! This has ta be tha best prayer-delivered song of all time, ya heard me? My Rating: 4.5


12. “N.O.L.A.”
504-representin’!! >>> Startin’ off wit a funky sound, here; laidback wit a singin’ hook… Tha rhymes are good, here; sounds like a mix between West Coast and tha South, here. My Rating: 4.2


13. “I’m So Confused”
A song only 2:41 on tha length? >>> I like tha intro; finna get loaded, lol? More on tha “drink” tip; sounds like a good start… Good rhymes and I’m feelin’ tha gurl on tha hook dat almost sounds like Brandy! “In a few years, where would I be;” I hope you’re still alive, despite tha Pac relations! My Rating: 4.2


14. “Ruff Era Compilation” Feat. Ruff Era Records
LOL, a “compilation” on tha title? >>> Oh yea, you’re wit Ruff Era Records; no wonder! Ooh, a bunch of Ruff Era Records people on tha feature? This should be interestin’!! Yes, definitely feelin’ tha 1st verse wit tha kick-assness; thumbs up fa all these rhymes!! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty gutta wit tha voice and tha gangsta lyrics! Tha 3rd verse iz soundin’ nice; all about a mission fa dem “presidents,” lol! “I’m 23;” I’m only 11 dayz ‘til “I’m 23!” Tha 4th verse sounds nice, too; great collaboration!! Tha ending iz definitely on some gutta shit, too; great job, all together!!! My Rating: 4.6


15. “Pressure & Pain (Rap Version)”
LOL, a Rap version of this? >>> Sounds similar in tha beginning… Tha rappin’ sounds aight; good ta have a different version… My Rating: 4.2
