Review #1,021: Lower Level Organization "Straight From Tha Woods"

Reviewed on 7.08.2011 (Review #1,021)




Gonna try and do some old reviewz today. Let’s start off wit tha 1st one, continuing in my 1997 part of my marathon: Lower Level Organization “Straight From Tha Woods”; lookin’ forward!! Start Time: 12:14 PM | End Time: 12:43 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.

Link To CD: N/A


01. Intro
Should be pretty grimy! >>> LOL, just an aight beat? My Rating: N/A


02. “Ace-Nitty”
Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ dis! >>> Fuck! This iz from tha “’94”? Damn… I should’ve done more research when I first got these CDs ‘cause tha mp3 info says, “1997,” smh…! This a nice, smooth-soundin’ joint fa tha gangstas; really feelin’ tha content and shit, ya dig? My Rating: 4.4


03. “Mobo Joe”
>>> Good Bounce vs. ‘90s vibe, here; sounds like a nice mix, combined… LOL @ tha title/hook; good sample… Feelin’ tha catchy rhymes throughout this; gotta keep tha gangsta-soundin’ content up! My Rating: 4.2


04. “Walking Threat” Feat. Lil’ Ruthless
>>> This sounds betta for me; feelin’ tha grimy beat start! Tha hook’s pretty nice for a sample, or whateva it iz! Tha 1st verse sounds like a gurl? Pretty gangsta wit this content! Huh? A “Lil’ Ruthless,” too? I know one in Thibodaux, 2009 – present style. Once tha dudes hit tha mic, this shit’s definitely on some pure-ass shit!! Definitely feelin’ tha consistency as well as tha kick-ass content of bein’ on tha streetz!! My Rating: 4.8


05. “Rain Killa”
>>> Anotha gutta-ass-soundin’ song! Content’s definitely 100% here as well as tha pretty nice beat, samples on tha hook, and tha vibe for tha streetz! My Rating: 4.6


06. “Clientel/Always N Power”
Damn, 9:20 on tha length? Iz this two songs? >>> Sounds like a promethazined-up vibe, lol; definitely inta tha slowness, here! Tha hook’s nice and so are tha rhymes, once again, wit this tight content and focused rhymin’!! LOL, a lil’ off-beat before tha “Always N Power” joint, which starts at 4:32? Odd, but you know this shit’s nice! As far as tha “Always N Power” side, feelin’ tha grindin’-type rhymes! Tha hook sounds entertainin’, here, wit this sample goin’ on! I like tha start to tha 2nd verse of this song wit tha “but tha white man won’t hire me;” good job wit tacklin’ tha under-ratedness of how certain white people not givin’ a fuck, sadly! My Rating: 4.7


07. Commercial
>>> Really likin’ tha “dime sacks” intro, which iz catchy as fuck, ya dig? Gotta luv tha dialect and shit. Also, tha seriousness, lol! Just a beat, again? At least there were a few words… My Rating: N/A


½time: You already know, this shit’s kick-ass!! A 4.5-rated CD, currently; good shit!!!!!


08. “Down In Tha Ghetto”
>>> I know I play this on my radio show; tha rhymes are good, tha beat’s good, and tha sample on tha hook’s only aight… My Rating: 4.3


09. “Straight From Tha Woods”
Looks serious; you know I already liked tha album title! >>> Ooh, cricket sounds in tha beginning wit a pretty serious-soundin’ beat!! LOL @ tha off-beat-soundin’ 1st verse, a lil’ bit… “Eatin’ rabbits and squirrels;” Beth Ditto, where are you?! She used ta eat squirrel, lol! Such a lovely lesbian who’s nice and huge and iz proud! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty serious wit tha gun action goin’ on! Really likin’ tha content goin’ on, continuously! Feelin’ tha 3rd verse, too; great voice wit great punchlines ta keep tha rhymes goin’!! Nothin’ but continuous shit, continuin’, ya dig?! My Rating: 4.8


10. “Wanted By 5-0”
Thought I would’ve heard this but it was tha name of tha previous CD I heard from y’all; still lookin’ forward ta hearin’, though! >>> Nice production, good, long length, and consistency goin’ on, here!! LOL, luvin’ tha whole “5-0” theme, here; got tha sirens goin’ on in tha hook and tha good rhymes fa tha streetz, all day!! Now, this iz how you handle a song dat’s 5 ¾ minutes long!! My Rating: 4.7


11. “Bitches On My Dick”
>>> Likin’ tha sound of this smooth beat; nice vibe, here! I like tha “in ya asshole” part… or iz dat “in ya ass, hoe,” lol? This sounds like a funny song wit tha hook… LOL, tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ off-beat, once again; one of tha best CDs for frequent off-beatness, lol? You already know dat as this shit continues, it doesn’t get boring/sour; Lower Level Organization for tha win!! My Rating: 4.5


12. “********”
What tha hell iz this title? >>> Does it have ta do wit “niggaz” ‘cause of tha beginning? Sounds more like a skit but I’ll rate it as a song since there’s only a hook, lol. My Rating: 4.2


13. “Get Some” Feat. Dog House Posse, Lil’ Ruthless, M.C. Spud, Ruthless Juveniles & Teno G
An eight-minute, two-second song, lol? >>> Props ta all tha people y’all introducin’ in tha beginning, such as “Dog House Posse, Ruthless Juveniles,” and more! Sounds like tha rhymes are goin’ off like rounds, here; good shit! “Pass [him] a shovel!!” I see features on Discogs’s website, so I’ll put tha features in this song. Err-body doin’ tha damn thang, here!! Really likin’ tha dude wit tha “run to tha car” rhymes; gotta paint a picture wit tha rhymes!! This should definitely be rated perfect ‘cause of tha length, tha consistency, and all tha great rappers, here, contributin’ nicely to tha track!! Good “I like tha verb ‘cause it’s all about some action” line; punchlines to tha bone!!! Damn, this shit neva ends!! LOL, interestin’ hook outta nowhere, too; “get some, get some, get some!!” My Rating: 5.0


14. Outro
Just a beat, again, lol? >>> Yup… My Rating: N/A


Overall: Good job wit Mobo Joe producin’ tha tracks on here! This definitely was a piece of work, 1994 style!! I guess reviewin’ it in 2011 ain’t too bad, either? I’m not sure how I would’ve been two years ago wit dis but dis definitely iz somethin’ special!! Keep up tha real-great rhymes, kick-ass content, and err-thang, whereva y’all at, now!!!
