Got
tha Solo Mafia Enterprises reviewz continuin’!! This next one, only two months
old, iz Savage Guts, Grind & Glory!! I’m anticipatin’ these country rap
tunez, so before Aaliyah’s Behind The
Music takes my attention away, I finna get into this review right now! Start Time: 6:27 PM | End Time: 7:24 PM
Disclaimer: 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. If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or
talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it! After I
was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much
you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done
business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

01.
“GGG Intro”
Not
only iz it tha name of tha CD, but that’s really what you are, Sav! Not just a
“G,” but a TRIPLE “G!!!” >>> What a nice beat in tha background from you!! Yea, like you said, they
think “you quit or somethin’;” I bet
people ta say dat to me! It’s like, we’re doin’ bigger projects! Sometimes,
it’s more about tha video countdown that’s two hours long than buku
commercials; that’s how I feel ‘bout myself! Ooh, rappin’, too! “Focus like a
telescope;” always wit me, Sav! Got my focus on your music and showin’ you
luv!! Nice closing to tha 1st
verse: “And, this iz how I welcome you to Guts,
Grind & Glory!!” Even sounds tight
for a hook!!! My Rating: 4.6
02.
“Do It For The Money”
I’m
slowly becomin’ like this, mainly to those that don’t know all my talents and
are younger than me! >>> Nice lil’ song, includin’ tha hook and great
beat of yours!! “Diagnosed me an insomniac;” what a nice line fa your hustlin’, Sav!! Can’t deny it, and I luv your rhymes!! You always got shit on lock, strictly makin’
a feel-good track fa err-body, here!! Tha 2nd verse sounds nice;
keep grindin’, ignorin’ most of those that are younger than you—well, unless it
‘bout “tha money!” Nice lil’ bridge from tha unlisted singer! “I hate this
job,” but he luvs that “check;” to me, I feel like it’s like dat when tryna
book people for my Tha Louisiana Archives
mixtape compilation. Like, do I have to spend hours promotin’ myself, only
makin’ $20 off each person that submits a song? Totally doesn’t seem worth it…
Nice lil’ extra part from you toward tha end, too! My Rating: 4.4
03.
“Get Loose” Feat. Lil’ Mista & Level
Forgot
you had “Get Loose Wit It” back five
years ago, already! Let’s see what dis one gon sound like… >>> I like
tha “get loose” part in tha beginning; sounds nice!! Tha hook sounds pretty
nice; definitely some nice shit! You even can have some auto-tune slide in
there, and it doesn’t sound pathetic! Oh, Mista sneakin’ in on tha 1st
verse; random, since he ain’t sourced on tha ID… Him and his automatic long
dick, I-have-everything-in-tha-world-type rhymes… Usually, I don’t go for it,
but because it’s your song, this iz acceptable… You’re on tha 2nd
verse, and even though your voice iz a lil’ altered, at times, but I can deal
wit it; nice job! Oh, Level snuck into tha 3rd verse, too; I
should’ve known by tha background, “yeah,” vocals in tha hook! Well, though I’m
not in tha mood, tha verse came at me, head on, and it sounds good. Too bad I’m
not important to him at all, as other calls/texts are more important to him.
Also, I thought he was gonna jack his verse on Jiggaman’s “Get Loose” song from
last year, onto here. Either way, that collab was better, but this was still
nice! My Rating: 4.4
04.
“Gotta Stay Strapped”
I
can’t imagine runnin’ into someone who’s “strapped,” when I visit Louisiana. Personally, I
think it sounds too obsessive; it’s almost like you’re locked into drama on
purpose, but that’s just me. >>> Tha beat sounds nice, here; dat
country rap tunez style! Tha rhymes on tha 1st verse sound good; as
you’re gettin’ older, you still gotta
“stay strapped!” Tha hook sounds nice, too; I dunno who tha dude on tha 2nd
½ of tha hook iz, but they sound good mixin’ wit you… Here you are on tha 2nd
verse, comin’ through wit no vitality, if you’re not “strapped!” Here’s tha 3rd verse, and you sound good
wit expressin’ how peeps be wantin’ everything of yours for free. I hate those
money virgins, Sav!! My Rating: 4.3
05.
“Backwards-Ass World”
Interestin’
title; I think you tellin’ tha truth wit this title, too! To me, it’s more like
a “backwards-ass” schedule people have, how they’re so “busy,” smh!
>>> Much more laidback, here, on tha beat… Hearin’ you spit on tha 1st
verse, and it sounds nice; sounds like it would go toward tha end of tha CD…
Feelin’ tha hook wit your real lyrics. As much as tha “cheaters always win,” in
2011, surprisingly, one rapper that was “too busy” to do business wit me died
in a car accident. I was like, “Wow, since when does tha hater die?” Tha 2nd
verse iz nice, too; keep reppin’ for tha real!! Same thing wit tha 3rd
verse: You got shit on lock fa those peeps like me, and I really appreciate it!
My Rating: 4.0
06.
“Dope Mane”
Let’s
hear what dis be ‘bout… >>> Sounds like Ready in tha beginning, but
it’s you; nice lil’ Southern beat from you, once again! Really likin’ tha 1st
verse wit how you comin’ through wit your drug-related lyrics; always
interestin’ ta hear about your life in tha past! Can’t believe my former
drug-dealin’ cousin gon only be 21 tomorrow! Five years ago was when he first
got snitched on, which sucked. It’s always somethin’ special to have a
drug-dealin’ family member at a young age in your family… Tha hook sounds real
catchy wit how you made your voice sound, on here; nice and smooth wit these
drugs, lol!! Tha 2nd verse sounds nice, too, as you keepin’ this
“dope” dope shit continuin’!! Ooh, even tha 3rd verse, too; very focused, Savage!! I like your
“paranoia” part, too; hate to see you eva get arrested, Sav!! No, no, no!!! My Rating: 4.7
07.
“The Other Side”
>>> A lil’ funny wit tha voice, here… Okay, tha rhymes are soundin’ interestin’ on tha 1st verse, here, as well as your beat… Tha hook sounds nice; it’s all about that mysterious “other side!” Tha 2nd verse sounds nice, too; glad you keepin’ tha real shit comin’ along, like a king supposed to! Honestly, that’s what I consider you as: a king! Just look at yourself, Sav; take a good look at yourself! My Rating: 3.9

Honestly, that’s what I consider you as: a king! Just look at yourself, Sav; take a good look at yourself! My Rating: 3.9
½time: So far, a nice,
consistent CD!! Keep these country rap tunez comin’ along fa tha people, Sav!!
A 4.3-rated
CD, currently!!!
08.
“Penitentiary Chances”
Looks
like a nice title; lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this!! >>> Nice, smooth
lil’ country rap-soundin’ beat, and tha hook sounds nice wit this topic of tha
“penitentiary!” Great job rappin’ tha “penitentiary” future/perspective in tha
1st verse; good job, Sav! You keepin’ tha 2nd verse
comin’ along fa your “daughter” and it sounds nice; you gon need a son soon! A
Lil’ Sav Sinatra! Oh no, it’s 7:00; Behind
The Music Remastered: Aaliyah iz on! Oh, I think it’s tha saddest death
I’ve been around durin’ my time in tha music biz! But anyway, wit tha rest of
tha song, you did a nice job keepin’ this shit on-n-poppin’! My Rating: 4.2
09.
“I’m So Thoed”
LOL
@ tha title; let’s hear this! >>> Sounds like a featured singer on tha
hook; catchy shit, includin’ tha nice beat, once again! Tha 1st
verse iz you, and you tryna chill/go on wit life, but you’re “so thoed,” lol! A
nice lil’ fucked-up song, lol! Tha 2nd verse sounds nice wit how you
comin’ through, feelin’ “like a football,” lol! Oh, here’s that singer (or
rapper?) on tha 3rd verse; they have a good, country-rap feel fa
this track, right here! Nice “thoed” endin’ from you, Sav, lol! My Rating: 4.4
10.
“Only You”
!
>>> A female singer on tha hook; sounds like someone sexy… Here you
are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit a laidback vibe, here.
Sounds like you’re always open for sex, like a Wal-Mart or somethin’, lol! Tha
2nd verse sounds nice, too; no matta if it’s a “gangsta in a shoot
out” or this big sex scene, your combination of rhymes seem to always make tha
track sound nice! Oh, a 3rd verse fit in here…; sounds good, too;
how can someone like you not “murder”
a “pussy”? My Rating: 4.1
11.
“All Wrong”
Time
ta hear it! >>> LOL @ tha start; dat “dick” seems ta get in err-body’s
way, huh, lol? Uh oh, sounds like an erected-Savage on tha hook ‘cause of tha
a-tune; not bad wit how it sounds, and I can fuck wit what you talkin’ ‘bout,
here. LOL, how can anyone deny you, Sav? Not exactly sure who’s on tha 2nd
verse, but since they said they’re tha “Problem Child,” I assumed it was A.R.,
at first. However, I don’t think I exactly know who this iz… They sounded like
havin’ sex iz easy, as usual; anotha person that doesn’t struggle wit
communicating… LOL @ tha “stay in my ear like earphones” line; talk about how
hooked this bitch iz! LOL @ tha cold ending… My Rating: 4.0
12.
“Dis Ain’t Wassup”
Anotha
female-related song? Lemme hear… >>> Oh, get your head wrap on ‘cause
it’s Erykah Badu and her “Didn’t Ya Know” beat! Goin’ back to my old cassette
tapes, huh, Sav? That’s exactly what I was doin’ when you dropped this CD two
months ago! Nice rhymes fa this shit; different twist and it’s not like it’s a
typical, cheesy jacked beat! You even threw in her pre-chorus part; nice! You
sound good tryna communicate wit an imaginary-Badu, lol! Tha 2nd
verse sounds nice, too; keep tha rhymes goin’ on this smooth beat! Tha 3rd
verse iz here, and you keepin’ “dis” goin’, whether it’s “wassup” or not for
peeps, male or female! Nice job wit tha hook, too; gotta get outta those not “wassup” areas! My Rating: 4.3
13.
“Devil In My Eyez”
Nice
title, especially wit tha “Z”! >>> Nice beat; rhymes sound good on tha
1st verse, here… Tha hook ain’t bad, either; some of tha others were
catchier, but this still nice ta flow wit tha track… Got tha 2nd
verse here, and you keepin’ tha streetz full wit tha ugly “devil,” and how it
can fuck you up. Here’s tha 3rd verse, comin’ through like a real
dude! Glad you still alive fa your age; keep bein’ active and always stay alive!! My Rating: 3.8
14.
“Amazin’ Grace (Tribute)”
This
looks like tha kinda ending title; let’s hear it… >>> Okay, I was
right; sounds like a betta beat, and tha intro sounds nice… Your voice sounds a
lil’ different, like more grown… Tha hook sounds pretty good; I like tha “my
nigga” parts. I hope peeps like DJ B-Real have some sorta big tribute to me
when I’m gone, as well as a lil’ somethin’ from you, too! Tha 2nd verse
sounds nice, too; yea, it sux to lose peeps! As much as you feel like it’s hard
to move on, I have to say, I’m almost 25, and I’ve neva had a friend die, that I knew in person; not bad for 25! Here
you are on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit more memories… You can
only imagine what kinda memorabilia I’ve talked to in Louisiana! I don’t have many of you, due to
I only talked to you on tha phone a few times, but I think I have memories of
most peeps from Louisiana!
My Rating: 3.8
Overall: Definitely feelin’ it;
sounded like a lotta tracks fit together with each other, but I’m glad you’re
always a king! I may’ve liked tha Solo Mafia CD betta, but your quality iz always there!! I’m glad I did all three
reviewz for you today; keep up tha great
work!!
