Review #1,356: Webbie "Savage Life 4 (Deluxe Version)"

Reviewed on 12.09.2013 (Review #1,356)


Tha next review I got iz Webbie Savage Life 4 (Deluxe Version), released on Trill Entertainment. I dunno how anticipated I gon be fa this; I think this gon be worse than Savage Life 2, based off that wack/non-BR 1st single!! Start Time: 4:31 PM | End Time: 5:48 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. “I’m Back”
>>> Tha beat’s nice, here, and I’m feelin’ how you comin’ through on tha 1st verse… Tha 2nd verse also sounds good; nice job! My Rating: 4.1


02. “Fucked Her” Feat. Lil’ Phat
>>> Great beat!! Almost wasn’t inta tha ‘money fa tha hoes’-like hook, but tha way Phat delivers it wit his weird voice, it sounds catchy! Also, you got some catchy rhymes on tha 1st verse, too! Nice job wit tha 2nd verse, too! Why couldn’t this be a single instead of tha garbage “What I Do”?? I mean, this iz tha time for explicit titles: “My Nigga”, “Fuckin’ Problems”, and more! Wow, really diggin’ tha explicit 3rd verse, though!! Tha “blowin’” shit’s funny and nice, lol!! My Rating: 4.6


03. “Bad Bitch 2”
Music Choice: Hip-Hop And R&B just got this; I don’t think I thought this matched tha vibes of tha 1st “Bad Bitch”, though… >>> Yea, tha beat has a nice element/sound, but it still sounds mainstream/like today’s mainstream music. Tha previous “Bad Bitch” had a Baton Rouge sound wit a Baton Rouge, correctly-repeatin’ hook! Anyway, tha 1st verse aight… Tha 2nd verse sounds like a lotta random rhymes like “What I Do”’s rhymes. Also, “My ringtone iz Sweet Jones;” I’m surprised. I really, easily thought it’d be Lil’ Phat! A 3rd verse, too…; okay, but nothin’ special. Looks like this gon be anotha ignored song from me that gets out there… I guess err-body losin’ their Baton Rouge sound that I wanted ta hear! My Rating: 3.5


04. “Make It Back”
>>> Not bad rhymes on tha 1st verse, but tha beat’s betta than tha previous song! Tha hook sounds catchy, here; feelin’ it… Tha 2nd verse continues ta deliver decent rhymes… ROFL @ sayin’, “Shit yeah,” at 2:05; who would’ve thought that saying would qualify for this tryna-be-mainstream album? Anotha song wit a 3rd verse, here… Sounds a lil’ betta… My Rating: 3.7


05. “Realest” Feat. Lloyd
>>> A lil’ caught off-guard wit tha beginning, but I think it’s good; nice job wit Lloyd on tha hook. Let’s see what you got goin’ on fa tha 1st verse… I’m feelin’ tha rhymes, as you’re dedicated ta this girl. Catchy rhymes fa tha ladies on tha 2nd verse, too! Now, why couldn’t this be tha 2nd single instead of “Bad Bitch 2”? My Rating: 4.3


06. “Another One”
>>> Beat sounds nice; sounds like an anthem! Funny that now, you’re usin’ tha word “bruh”? Prolly could’ve saved it for tha less-mainstream music! Good shit on tha 1st verse, and tha hook’s great! Funny how it’s about evadin’ “problems,” but tha beat makes it sounds like an anthem! “Egotistic;” how ‘bout showin’ luv ta tha autistic? Catchy lyrics also comin’ outta tha 2nd verse, as well! Tha 3rd verse’s good, too. LOL, anotha “bruh” part. My Rating: 4.3


07. “Big”
>>> Feelin’ tha drummer-like beat, here! Tha 1st verse’s nice. However, somethin’ about this CD that doesn’t seem so memorable. I dunno; it don’t hold Savage Life 1 life fa me… Tha 2nd verse sounds better, though, wit tha “decimals after decimals;” nice! Anotha song wit a 3rd verse, just squishin’ quantity over quality, at times… But, I’m feelin’ tha 3rd verse, too, as you’re wishin’ these dudes on tha 3rd verse neva had gotten killed. LOL, anotha “bruh” part. My Rating: 4.4 (lol)


08. “Sugar”
>>> Nothin’ really spectacular, here… Tha beat’s okay, but has a lil’ Anthony Hamilton “Comin’ From Where I’m From” in it; that’s what it reminds me of. He ain’t Webbie, and you ain’t him, so it don’t really blend good… Damn, anotha song with a 3rd verse! My Rating: 2.6


09. “What I Do”
So pathetic ta hear you use auto-tune, especially on a 1st single? Nowhere near Baton Rouge, here, and tha rhymes are wack!!! My Current Rating: 1.7


10. “Mine”
>>> Sounds like some good southern music, here; decent hook… Tha 1st verse sounds good; just rollin’ through, here… Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, here. You’re reminiscin’ “Ms. Jackson” wit tha “eva, eva” part; cool… Tha 3rd verse sounds good, too; nice job wit this one! My Rating: 4.2


½time: So far, not so bad; seems better than Savage Life 2 as far as a first listen, but I still think that CD’s better, a lil’ bit. Currently, tha CD rating’s a 3.7.


11. “Fine Ass” Feat. Blake
>>> This sounds good; I almost thought tha feature was gonna scare me with an auto-tune part. Luckily, this sounds great! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse, and you really in this “ass;” tha beat’s pretty nice in tha background, too!! Tha 2nd verse iz off to a good start, too! You want a smart chick wit a smart “ass,” lol! Even got Blake singin’, too; not bad… My Rating: 4.2


12. “Look At Me Now”
>>> Decent start… “It’s hard ta get me on tha phone;” not really good. That’s where people go down tha wrong road as far as bein’ promoted/bein’ great, as a person! Sounds like a funny hook; great aggression and character! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too; nothin’ wrong wit this joint… Tha 3rd verse sounds like you don’t wanna “die” and shit. Good rappin’, here… My Rating: 4.3


13. “Shake What Ya Mamma Gave Ya” Feat. Lil’ Trill
>>> Nice beat start!! Glad your “pants” still “saggin’;” don’t age!! Catchy hook; kinda like tha female version of tha previous song’s aggression and character! Good party rhymes in tha 1st verse, here; good shit! This has, like, an N.O. party vibe ta it; now, I don’t mind that vs. tha mainstream shit! Lil’ Trill on tha 2nd verse, here… Not really feelin’ his lyrics at all. I can’t feel his cockiness, and I don’t dig all tha “money” shit, despite this bein’ an ass song. I mean, there’s other topics than just “money!” Finally, a song wit two verses—or wait, sounds like a 3rd verse? I guess that’s just tha outro lil’ verse; whateva, it’s good. My Rating: 4.4


14. “Sneaky”
>>> Kinda sounds like a mix between some UGK music vs. oldies music, for tha beat, here… Good for a southern vibe, and tha rhymes in tha 1st verse ain’t too bad… Tha hook (how you say tha title—I guess ‘cause it’s a “s___y” word) sounds a lil’ cheesy, but it’s some good cheese for a laugh, I guess? Tha 2nd verse’s nice, too. Tha 3rd verse sounds good fa these ladies; nice lil’ swanky joint, overall! My Rating: 4.2


15. “Too Much”
>>> Really diggin’ tha faster vibe, here! Jammin’ 1st verse, as you’re deliverin’ them rhymes!! Tha hook’s nice; gotta luv it!! Good rhymes in tha 2nd verse, too; you handlin’ ya bidness, Webb! Finally, a two-verse song, too! My Rating: 4.4


16. “She Say”
>>> Sounds like you’re a lil’ funny with tha beginning wit tha “he say – she say.” Tha hook sounds catchy, too; anotha catchy joint from you! Tha 1st verse’s good, too; again, you holdin’ it down fa tha ladies! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too; keep it comin’! A 3rd verse, here…; not bad… Wit how your voice’s a lil’ different on tha hook, it almost sounds like it could be a feature like one of tha UTP peeps or somethin’. My Rating: 4.0


17. “What U Mean”
>>> Catchy hook and beat, here; let’s see what else gon be in this joint… Tha 1st verse good wit consistent rhymes, your way. Tha 2nd verse almost sounds like tha pace Eminem was rappin’ at on “Rap God”; catchy… Tha 3rd verse sounds pretty good, too. LOL @ you knowin’ who “Kay Slay” iz! My Rating: 4.1


18. “My Life”
>>> Anotha good southern vibe in tha beat, here; nice start ta tha 1st verse, too… Likin’ tha hook, as it’s written with a “pen!” Surprised you still think of writing. Most people, I would think, would put everything in a phone or somethin’, Microsoft Paint style! Anyway, tha 2nd verse’s good, too; you really have a lotta people who “depend” on you. Tha 3rd verse’s good, too; keep stayin’ at it! Wow, diggin’ how tha beat sounds better on tha 3rd hook!! My Rating: 4.2


19. “I Wish”
>>> An okay start… Tha hook simple; this really doesn’t have much ta offer, but I’ll keep listenin’… Okay, real rhymes in tha 2nd verse; as always, it sucks that you lost your “mom” to “breast cancer.” Of course, this a song with three verses, as well… My Rating: 3.4


20. “Get It In”
>>> LOL @ mentionin’ “Pennsylvania;” good start, here, even though I think this gon be okay, just like tha previous joint. Tha hook’s nice; this whole joint iz you gettin’ “it in” around tha world. Tha 2nd verse sounds like you neva quittin’; good perseverance! And, of course, a 3rd verse…; pretty good… My Rating: 3.9


Overall: Didn’t expect this CD to be as good as it was! Glad you did keep some elements of Baton Rouge/southern rap, here! I thought this was gonna sound like some Rick Ross-like, mainstream-styled shit, but tha vibe was still good. You just need a better ear for picking singles! I wonder when and what Savage Life 5’ll be like? We’ll have to wait a few years!
