Review #1,038: Level "Street Credit 3 (Hosted by DJ Chill)"

Reviewed on 7.31.2011 (Review #1,038)




Ironic change, I got Level “Street Credit 3 (Hosted by DJ Chill)” as tha next review. Not sure of my anticipation, this time. When I reviewed Vol. 2, I was on tha phone wit Level, and I even got to put Vol. 2 on DatPiff as a bonus (to try somethin’ new for a short time). Now, I may charge $20 to put someone’s CD on DatPiff, but I hope to get Level’s $20 to get this CD on DatPiff, too! People been askin’ for “Deal Or No Deal” but I can’t even get a response to get it online as well as tha simple $20? Hope this review gets some attention, though; let’s see how tha 3rd volume goes, even though I don’t have a tracklisting… Start Time: 11:14 AM | End Time: 11:56 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.
>>> EQ beat; smh @ tha A-Tune hook. Rhymes are cocky as fuck but of course, tha song’s pretty hot, overall. My Rating: 3.8


02.
>>> LOL, anotha EQ beat? Oh no, not a Nu$$ sample (“I can’t stand a ol’ pussy-azz nigga”)! Even though I’m quick ta jump about it, they’re always hilarious samples, so I gotta crack a smile, lol! Good attitude from you, here, on tha 1st verse; sounds like a follow-up ta “All Of ‘Em”! Bro-Bro’s on tha 2nd verse, soundin’ good! LOL, gotta have Spitta on this, too; good job reppin’ tha 3rd verse wit tha ‘anti-“pussy-azz nigga’” attitude! Luv how he keeps shit on ‘n’ poppin’!! My Rating: 4.7


03.
>>> Time ta “kill”? Sounds a lil’ scary; where’d this perspective come from? People that wanna “kill” usually get killed, right? Look what happened ta VL, Nu$$, and others; I rather be a pussy and stay quiet! BTW, I asked you, “when you gon rap about Autism/Asperger’s;” why can’t you rap about dat? It’s different from everyone… Good shit you got goin’ on, regardless, in tha 1st verse; at least you have a voice dat’s pretty gutta! Young Ready’s on tha 2nd verse; lol, what a point of view he has wit tha ‘look at me now’-type shit, lol! Tha 3rd verse sounds like Wissel? Not 100% sure but they sound good fa this collaboration, too; serious shit! My Rating: 4.6
EDIT: It's Zion City Juice who's last on tha song!


04.
>>> Sounds like an older-soundin’ Mouse song on tha beginning? Why this stupid-ass A-Tune shit? It sounds like you wanna sell out or somethin’? It’s 2011; tha dick-suckin’ dayz are over! Catchy, regardless; I like how tha both of y’all are on tha hook and it doesn’t sound dat gay… This song must be called “Just Like That” (or “Dat”) ‘cause you always be sayin’ it throughout tha 1st and 2nd verse; catchy shit goin’ on throughout this whole track… LOL, keepin’ it goin’ fa tha bridge toward tha end; still goin’ wit tha cocky rhymes? Luckily, everything you’re spittin’ about I don’t have and continue ta have what I have! My Rating: 4.1


05. “Dumb Dick (Remix)” Feat. Mystikal, Mouse On Tha Track & Mz. Trill
>>> Back ta tha EQ beats… Oh, remix ta “Dumb Dick”, here! Thumbs up ta Mystikal, of course! My Current Rating: 4.9


06. “Hot Spot”
>>> “Hot Spot”, courtesy of “Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 5”; here’s what I had ta say: LOL, now, you have a water bucket as tha beat background? Funny; too bad you ain’t hittin’ me back wit doin’ a freestyle and drop for my radio show. You know, I’m startin’ ta get lazy wit caring; rather get someone that can answer me! I dunno if I should comment on tha verses, here, ‘cause everything’s, like, tha same. Of course, tha rhymes are catchy for tha ladies; I’ll leave it at dat. My Current Rating: 4.5


07.
>>> A Spitta start! Good start from him and now, I hear dat this an EQ beat. Ooh, tha hook’s fulla “gangsta” shit; likin’ this… Yes, Spitta’s comin’ through fa tha 3rd verse (I considered his previous part tha 1st verse although it could go down as an intro to tha track, too)! Sounds good although if this about “gangsta” shit, wouldn’t I hear more “gangsta” rhymes than things he’s got? Oh wait, I hear some big “bullets,” now, so I gotta give him credit! Must be a Badd Nooze collaboration, overall? Must be tha other dude (Lem) on tha 4th verse? Feelin’ tha rhymes although tha flow sounds a lil’ like tha typical rappers today… LOL, nice “shampoo” shit at tha end! My Rating: 4.5


08.
>>> A “by myself” theme? Must be tha title, too; cool-ass EQ beat, here! Sounds like a good song although when goin’ to places, I’m startin’ ta go “by myself” although wit trips, I gon need someone… I hear “solo dolo,” too; iz that tha title? Might’ve heard dat title of a status somewhere… Rhymes are good fa this track but this content can get boring afta hearin’ tha same type of shit in nearly every song… My Rating: 4.3


09.
>>> Anotha “gangsta shit”-type song? Interestin’ vibe, here; likin’ tha crazy shit you bringin’ to tha table wit your voice… Hook sounds like there’s a C-Murder sample on it? Good shit… Lil’ Mista’s on tha 2nd verse; he adds a good, Easy Hustle Entertainment-type twist to tha track! Good song fa tha “streets!” LOL, didn’t think there was a 3rd verse but it’s Foxx, comin’ through quickly wit some tight shit, too! My Rating: 4.4


10.
>>> “Mayham” theme? Sounds good from you, once again. My Rating: 4.3


½time: A 4.4 for tha CD rating, currently; always expect tha good from you, it seems like…


11.
>>> Not anotha “money” song…? “Fuck hoes, get money…;” yawn… “No hoes, get things done;” how ‘bout dat? Does dat get no response or somethin’? It’s anotha aight song but again, you sound gay wit tha hook; why you gotta fuck it up? Cupid on tha feature; how random, wit me havin’ no comment… My Rating: 3.7


12.
>>> Good intro although anotha “money/hoes”-type theme? Sounds like a catchy song for tha ladies, that actually sounds nice. It ain’t like tha previous song wit tha gay-ass A-Tune and cocky-soundin’ lyrics. Also, I’m not that big about Cupid, either… Q-Red on tha feature… *Frankie follows up by itchin’ his ass* My Rating: 4.3


13.
>>> Sounds like a “dumb” sequel or somethin’ wit Young Ready in tha background? Sounds pretty good wit EQ on tha beat; serious consistency goin’ on, here, regardless of tha songs that had under a 4.0! Really feelin’ your gutta wayz of your attitude! Of course, Ready had ta be on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit his tight-ass shit! Have I heard this before wit tha “Bingo”? Yea, this came from somewhere (DJ 5150?)… Could’ve sworn it came from somewhere but nothin’s comin’ up in my blog… Either way, you know I definitely feel what Ready brings wit his consistent lingo, lol! My Rating: 4.7


14.
>>> Interestin’ wit tha “Dumb Dick” sample, lol. Thought there would be gay vocals on tha hook but it actually turned into a catchy song fa tha ladies… Anotha Foxx song? Why tha multiple fea—neva mind, some of these features have appeared at least twice. Very hyper Foxx, this time; likin’ this much betta than tha previous collaboration!! LOL, he keeps goin’ and goin’ and goin’ and goin’ and goin’!!! LOL, even havin’ Choppa on tha feature, too? Real glad ta have him on tha feature and hear him, continuously!! My Rating: 4.8


15.
>>> Back to an EQ beat… Boo @ tha KC & Jo Jo sample; wrong CD? Not that gay of a song, at least, but I think this doesn’t belong on a CD like this; too long of an intro and hook combined… Not my kinda song, here, but could sound like a hit song… Featured singer sounds like LeToya; who iz it, really? My Rating: 3.6


16.
>>> LOL, shorter song… Rather hear a catchy song like #14; not really inta breakup songs. However, I’m likin’ your attitude at all times! My Rating: 3.8


17.
>>> Sounds like a “Is You Wet Yet” sequel based off tha beginning vibe? “When I’m broke, I go crazy;” not me, thank God. If I’m outta money, I just do things like reviewz and prepare things. Sounds like a semi-gay hook wit tha vocal effects? Think Dat Boy A’s on tha hook? Kinda sounds like you on A-Tune, also? It sounds catchy, at least… Max Minelli’s randomly on tha 2nd verse; he sounds good wit his somewhat-betta-delivered rhymes… LOL, C-Loc on tha 3rd verse; interestin’ combo! I like hearin’ his perspective on fuckin’ for a 40ish-year-old, lol! My Rating: 4.0


18.
>>> Time fa an EQ beat… Sounds like a jam but I dunno what ta make wit tha content… Kinda cocky for tha ladies; again, I rather hear #14! I still like your attitude, lol! My Rating: 4.1


19.
>>> Ooh, a “prometh and codeine got me leanin’ off tha road” sample dat sounds like some ‘90s C-Loc! Pretty hot song here, as well as production from EQ! Sounds like you were born ta “lean,” huh? You remember date and time you started “leanin’”? Hope you do ‘cause it’ll be creative! LOL, Lil’ Mista on tha 2nd verse? Wonder what got him “leanin’”? Betta remember date and time of 1st time!! Good contribution, as always; always good ta hear people featured! My Rating: 4.5


20.
>>> Ending wit an EQ beat… Thought it would be a disappointment but this female’s remindin’ me a lil’ of tha R&B groups and people that came in 2002, during tha “My Neck, My Back” times, lol; not bad for a hook… Beat sounds a lil’ like Usher “Nice & Slow” wit tha guitar cords, randomly? Think it samples that, which iz an interestin’ mix… My bad for not IDin’ tha feature but this should be semi-mainstream wit its sound… My Rating: 3.9


Overall: Even though some songs were rated under 4.0, I thought this CD was tha shit, as always! Pure consistency everytime you drop an album, ya feel me?!
