Review #1,469: Dead Game Records "I-10 To I-95 Connection (Hosted by Bigga Rankin)"

Reviewed on 6.29.2015 (Review #1,469)


Stumbled across a bunch of music, recently, mainly from last year. I’ono when I’ll get tha time to review everything, but I’m expected to do four reviewz today, and if I have time tomorrow. This first one’s Dead Game Records I-10 To I-95 Connection (Hosted by Bigga Rankin), sponsored by Dead Game Records. This compilation for Dead Game Records consists of Racked-Up Ready, Lil’ One The Champ & Malachi X; let’s see what we got, here… Start Time: 10:04 AM | End Time: 11:08 AM


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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Bigga Rankin, Lil’ One The Champ, Racked-Up Ready & Malachi “Intro”
Hmm… >>> Nice beat; mixin’ up tha talkin’ with tha Malachi background vocals… Here’s tha 1st verse (Lil’ One The Champ), soundin’ nice with tha consistent rhymes; I’m likin’ tha “traffic” line… Catchy shit from Ready on tha 2nd verse, here, as gangsta as he can always be… Feelin’ tha street rhymes ova this beat, as always. Beat tag revealed: J.Scalez? My Rating: 4.3


02. Racked-Up Ready, Lil’ One The Champ & Malachi “All I Know”
Hmm, again… >>> Likin’ this hook and beat; nice singin’, Malachi! Good shit from Ready on tha 1st verse, here; can’t complain… However, why Malachi trippin’ about dyin’ as “a broke nigga?” Who needs money, anyway? Speakin’ of, yawn, Lil’ One on tha 2nd verse; kinda cocky for me to appreciate… It’s like, “20x” harder chance to get a hold of me? How ‘bout dat one? My Rating: 4.2


03. Malachi feat. Racked-Up Ready & Lil’ One The Champ “Send My Bitch”
! >>> An okay hook with an okay beat, here… Hearin’ Ready on tha 1st verse and I’m definitely feelin’ tha “loud” that “you could smell;” yeah! Could really use some now; nobody around up here in PA, smh! So, I gotta sit in tha house and do reviewz all day, on my only day off, smh! Not diggin’ this 2nd verse at all with all this “money” shit; enough, already, smh! Bad job, Malachi; “money” ain’t tha end of tha world!! Now, we got Lil’ One on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through in a decent wa—no, not “money, we throw it;” can you come up with somethin’ else?!? You don’t see me braggin’ and bitchin’ about “money,” unless it’s one song about me gettin’ robbed! My Rating: 3.5


04. Racked-Up Ready feat. Lee Banks & Madd Marvin “Turnt Up”
My Current Rating: 4.5


05. Racked-Up Ready “Dopeman Bitch”
My Current Rating: 4.3


06. Lil’ One The Champ feat. Mouse On Tha Track “Mz. Katrina”
Makes me think of Karina, a hot chick that used to work at my job, when I see any name starting with “K” and ending with an “A,” lol. >>> Sounds like it could be catchy, here… “So-so-soakin’ wet?” More like dry for how this track sounds fa me, so far… Tha hook ain’t really catch my attention and now, we got Lil’ One on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit decent rhymes. I’ono, I’ont think I can feel this pussy-dedicated song… Rhymes sound really random… Anotha verse from Lil’ One, here; guess no Mouse verse? It sounds random, once again; too fast with tha rappin’! Could’ve really used a Mouse verse, but this hook sounds better on tha vocals, but still ehh… My Rating: 2.7


07. Lil’ One The Champ feat. Racked-Up Ready “Bottles”
>>> Better beat, though still plain… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it was okay ‘til Lil’ One keeps on braggin’ about his “bank roll,” smh! Tha hook’s a lil’ catchy with this title part repeatin’, but for tha most part, anyone could come up wit this! Got Ready on tha 2nd verse and it’s on tha cocky side; God forbid he don’t get a “bitch,” smh… Just like tha last song, I wasn’t really into this one that much… My Rating: 2.9


08. Lil’ One The Champ feat. Malachi “‘Bout My Cake”
Next… >>> G-Motive beat. Kinda not anticipatin’ this track, due to tha “cake” topic… Kinda like Malachi on tha hook, but I think tha content throws me off… Here comes Lil’ One on tha 1st verse… These rhymes can be pretty nice to hear, as they’re pretty consistent, but I just can’t take this shit serious. My Rating: 3.0


½time: More like a decent CD; kinda can’t fuck wit some of this shit, though, and tha rest iz decent… A 3.7-rated CD, currently.


09. Racked-Up Ready feat. Mista Cain & DJ B-Real “Get Ya Mind Right”
Time to quote my manager… … “REALLY?!?” My Current Rating: 4.9


10. Racked-Up Ready feat. G Nate “Bullshit”
My Current Rating: 3.9


11. Lil’ One The Champ & Racked-Up Ready “Thousand Bands”
Not anotha money song! >>> Beat’s your typical-soundin’ mainstream music from tha south… Regular rhymes from Lil’ One on tha 1st verse, here, but I don’t like tha cocky shit… God forbid anyone sucks at one time! You already know I’ve sucked 1234723402843204732048324023847x in my life! Tha hook’s such bullshit; not for me at all! God forbid anyone’s fuckin’ broke!! And, didn’t need this to be stirred even further with Ready on tha 2nd verse… My Rating: 1.3


12. Racked-Up Ready & Malachi “Can’t Get Mad”
>>> J.Scalez on tha beat… Nice beat, here, and tha hook’s pretty nice… Hearin’ Ready on tha only verse and it’s pretty great to hear. A nice, slow flow to dig… My Rating: 4.2


13. Lil’ One The Champ feat. Malachi “Still Alive”
>>> Not really my style (“struggle rap,” as I call it)… Beat’s kinda sad-soundin’ with a street vibe and Lil’ One sounds like he’s goin’ through a struggle… I know I may be criticizin’ this, but what kinda song will I come up with for my late brother? As for tha hook, it almost sounded catchy but it sounds like Malachi has a lil’ bit of dick in his mouth, a.k.a. some auto-tune, smh! “My daughter…,” as Lil’ One explains on tha 2nd verse. Like, not a virgin? Why? Why rush things? People that are Gs should just wait! Focus on tha career, first, before tha kids become distracting in life! That’s what I’ve been doin’ my whole life; take notes! My Rating: 2.6


14. Racked-Up Ready & Malachi “Everything Up”
>>> Typical-soundin’ beat; definitely not diggin’ this hook by Malachi! Yuck! No “money” shit and auto-tune to create a bad mix! Hearin’ Ready on tha 1st verse and this iz totally not for me, at all! Can’t fuck wit all this “money” shit at all; too much of an obsession!! Really not diggin’ Malachi’s verse on tha 2nd verse, too, but I do like tha, “Shit, shit, shit, shit,” line, lol. My Rating: 1.6


15. Lil’ One The Champ “Watch What I Do”
>>> Almost sounds like a nice reggae beat start, here… A “bands” start to tha 1st verse? Nooooooooooo, don’t ruin this potentially-nice track! More rhymes comin’ outta this 1st verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice. My God, how many times he gotta mention “bands” and bein’ “broke,” smh?! My interest continues to go down… Even got a good-soundin’ hook, but I’ono how much this money shit gon ruin tha rating… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s a lot more catchier with tha title part repeatin’… Enough with tha “my bank roll iz my trophy” shit! See, back in tha day, it would be like, “I’m lyrical.” Now, I could give a FUCK what anyone iz when they mention “money” in EVERY FUCKIN’ SONG THEY MAKE!!! Overall, a mixed review, here… My Rating: 3.7


16. Racked-Up Ready feat. Ray Vicks & Lil’ One The Champ “Rubberbands”
Neva heard Lil’ One on this one… >>> Still sounds nice, even though all this money shit gets in my way… Let’s just pretend this iz from before DJ B-Real couldn’t pay me back and I’ll be fine! Well, more like decent in my book… As far as Lil’ One appearin’ on this, it’s straight… My Rating: 4.0


17. Lil’ One The Champ “They Don’t Like Me”
>>> Sounds like that hot Baton Rouge-type music ta end this off. However, will it be completely ruined by money rhymes? We shall see… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s Lil’ One attemptin’ a club banga… To me, it sounds decent; it don’t really fit him that much. Like, I’d rather it be more lyrical, but on a beat like this. Hearin’ tha hook and “I know that” this hook sounds like me, these dayz! Like, all these Louisiana boyz can’t handle me wit a job, gettin’ high, hangin’ out, travelin’ & more! They’re used to tha 21-year-old Frankie who would just sit in his room, waiting for a Louisiana rapper to call, ROFL!!! Anyway, on to tha 2nd verse, here… Kinda random with tha lyrics, but it still sounds nice ova this beat… My Rating: 4.1


18. Bigga Rankin “Outro”
… >>> Thanx for tha info, Rankin… My Rating: N/A


Overall: A decent effort, here; tha label was way better with Kevin Gates around it, but life must go on… My only wish iz for err-body to stick to their hood with content and all that; not everything has to be about money!!
