Review #1,618: Partners-N-Crime "What'cha Wanna Do?"

Reviewed on 1.31.2017 (Review #1,618)

I don’t have much energy but I do have a lil’ bit of time to get a 2^nd review in today… Partners-N-Crime What’cha Wanna Do? iz my next review, released in 1997 on South Coast Music Group & was produced by L. “Precise” Edwards. Start Time: 4:07 PM | End Time: 5:04 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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, 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. “What’cha Wanna Do?” feat. Prime & Lil’ Leroy

>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ bounce-type beat; hook sounds good ta hear… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and tha rhymes are really consistent wit tha rhymin’! Definitely tight! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good ta hear, but tha consistent rhymin’ ain’t like tha 1^st verse until tha near-end of tha verse, tho… My Rating: 4.2

02. “Pimp’en The Scene” feat. B Shype

>>> I like this eerie-soundin’ beat; tha 1^st verse’s decent… I’ono about this singin’, tho; gotta get used to it? Still, nice lil’ topic about tha “gangsta lean,” tho… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ good, here… As far as tha 3^rd verse, it ain’t bad, here… “I don’t know when my day gon come;” I feel tha same way, as far as fame and otha things… Who woulda thought I’d be, like, a celeb, at this point? My Rating: 3.7

03. “Hit Makers” feat. B Shype

>>> Beat sounds cool and jammin’, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it straight… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds good… Tha 2^nd verse decent ta hear, here; what else can I say? Nothin’ bad, tho nothin’ sparkin’, here… And, tha 3^rd verse, here, sounds decent… My Rating: 3.6

04. “Raw” feat. Tre-8

>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ hook wit this screwed hook about “bein’ raw,” straight from “down south;” nice… Hearin’ tha beat and it’s pretty nice/faster! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and there’s a lot goin’ on wit tha rappin’, here; dope… So many rhymes bein’ spit on tha 2^nd verse, here!! Definitely A+!! Tre-8 was definitely a master at this undaground shit! So much to review from him and I can’t wait! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s soundin’ nice, too, even tho it stopped, outta nowhere? What a weak way to end a verse!! Only felt like seven bars or somethin’?? My Rating: 4.3

05. “N.O. Block Party” feat. DJ Jubilee

>>> Nice lil’ jammin’ beat, here, strictly ready fa an “N.O. block party!” Should be an excitin’ track, right chea…! Thought this went over nicely for a collab; great job! My Rating: 4.0

06. “Meet Me At The River” feat. Ghetto Twiinz

>>> Beat sounds nice ta hear wit these Twiinz on tha 1^st verse, holdin’ it down… Tha hook’s pretty nice; definitely dope voice ta deliver it! Tha 2^nd verse’s nice ta hear, here; good gangsta shit! Tha 3^rd verse ain’t bad from these Ghetto Twiinz, once again… My Rating: 3.8

07. “Bad M.F.” feat. Prime

>>> Sounds like a good track, here; nice beat and decent hook… Tha 1^st verse sounds good ta hear, here; nice job… Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty dope, too… Good job wit tha rest of this, too… Tryna multi-task and do multiple things at once, so if I don’t write much, that’s why… My Rating: 3.9

½time: A 3.9-rated CD, so far; diggin’ it, even tho it on a decent level, fa me…

08. “Stole The Ye” feat. Dejon!

>>> Beat’s nice; tha 1^st verse’s soundin’ good ta hear… Diggin’ how tha near-end of it sounds wit tha faster rappin’! Tha hook’s dope; ain’t realize what tha “Ye” was, at first, lol… Nice job wit tha 2^nd verse, here, keepin’ it goin’… And, keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3^rd verse, soundin’ nice, as well… My Rating: 4.1

09. “These Are Dayz”
>>> Sounds like a catchy hook fa this slow jam; “these are tha dayz of our life…” And, even tha 1^st verse: “I’m just walkin’ by my oh-so-lonely self…;” I feel dat! Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice, here; good job… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s pretty nice to hear about “climbin’ this mountain,” ya dig? My Rating: 3.9

11. “Down South” feat. Tre-8
>>> Sounds like a dope beat, even tho it tha same as “Raw”? It’s 15 seconds longer, so, should I consider it a different track? Must be a different mix, like, a Booty Bass Mix, or somethin’? It’s, like, 128 BPM? Actually, it’s 134! I might like this betta than tha previous mix… My Rating: 4.4

12. “Get Your Money Right” feat. Mel & B Shype

>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ slower track; decent hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and looka, “Me and my migos;” no “Versace” here, lol! This 16 years prior to ‘em! They were in they diapers, at tha time, lol! Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice, too…; gotta feel what y’all comin’ through wit… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s soundin’ good ta hear, as well… My Rating: 3.9

13. “Chopped Down” feat. B Shype
>>> Beat sounds nice wit this darker feel… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty catchy, choppin’ “down…” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s all about dat “stankin’,” ya dig? “We gon chop you up like boneless chicken;” ouch!! Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice ta hear wit these consistent rhymes, too… And, good job wit tha ending verse, as well; dope shit! My Rating: 4.1

14. “La, La, La” feat. Dee & M. Jane of Set It Off

>>> Hook sounds nice wit this “la-la-la”in’; decent beat, too… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds decent wit this female… And, a female rappin’ on tha 2^nd verse, here; decent… Ehh, anotha female verse fa tha 3^rd verse? It’s aight… Finally, a male rapper on tha 4^th verse, spittin’ some cool rhymes; diggin’ tha “shmokin’” shit… My Rating: 3.5

Overall: Not too bad of a release… It was good but nothin’ really jumped out at me, here, so most of it was on tha decent/above-average level…

01. “Born 2 Be A Soldier” feat. Master P, Silkk The Shocker, Fiend & Mac

KLC on tha beat, here, kickin’ thangz off… >>> There’s a lotta “Soldier” tracks, out there, but I’ll just act like I ain’t heard this, before… Tha hook from P’s nice with this upbeat beat… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, Kal, and it’s soundin’ nice and hyped-up!! Nice job handlin’ this 2^nd verse, too, P! Straight street shit, no matter what age we’re in! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3^rd verse and I’m definitely diggin’ this fast-rapped gangsta shit!! Tha 4^th verse’s pretty hype and continuous, just like tha otha verses! Definitely dope shit! Tha 5^th verse’s pretty tight, too, holdin’ it down! My Rating: 4.6

02. “Murder 2”

Rick Rock doin’ this track… >>> Gotta luv your energy and how you handle these hooks/tracks!! Beat’s pretty nice ta rap on, in a gangsta perspective; dope shit! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s almost like you’re a werewolf in late-night action! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ like a nice verse, here; good shit! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3^rd verse, here, strictly rippin’ it! Gotta luv how you come through wit it!! My Rating: 4.4

03. “13 Years”

Produced by Craig B, here… >>> Crazy; I remember when you were locked up! Can’t believe it’s been seven years since you been released! Where’d those seven years go?! Beat’s pretty dope, here, wit an East Coast hip-hop style for tha south! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and you tearin’ it up as if you were gettin’ murdered or somethin’; that aggression!! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and, you still can’t deny what Mystikal brings to tha table, here!! Even more crazy vibes comin’ outta tha 3^rd verse, here, strictly rippin’ shit apart!! My Rating: 4.6

04. “Unpredictable”

DJ Darryl on tha track… >>> Before all tha garbage, mumblin’ rap of today, here’s Mystikal wit tha tight, rapid-fire rappin’! “Undeniable!!,” I’ll say!! Great job wit handlin’ this shit ‘cause you’re undeniable!! Luvin’ tha hook! “Ssdhfsljdfhsljfs! Ssdhfdslhdslkjh!! Lsdfjlflsdfhlf!! Unpredictable!!” Fuckin’ luv it!! Tha rest of this goes hard!! My Rating: 4.8

05. “Ain’t No Limit” feat. Silkk The Shocker & Master P

KLC! >>> Anotha nice beat wit you goin’ off tha meter, here! What iz your body temperature at 199 degrees or somethin’? Too fuckin’ shmokin’ hot on tha track!! Tha 2^nd verse goes hard, too; props for tha energy and aggression, Kal! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it sounds so much more calm than you, Mystikal… It’s almost like, if this CD was just you, it would’ve had a continuous, consistent vibe… Either way, it ain’t bad… My Rating: 4.2

06. “Ghetto Child” feat. Master P & Silkk The Shocker

Let’s get it! KLC & O’Dell on tha track! >>> A much slower beat, here, but definitely on tha eerie/southern/‘90s tip… Hearin’ P on tha hook and it’s definitely dope, describin’ tha life of livin’ in a “ghetto child” life… Hearin’ P on tha 1^st verse and it’s nice wit all these facts… “Bill Gates,” huh? Kinda like how I am in these times, meaning, it’s all about bein’ autistic! “Here [you] go” on tha 2^nd verse, Mystikal, lol, doin’ tha damn thang wit your aggressive rappin’! Silkk comin’ through on tha 3^rd verse, spittin’ some nice lil’ rhymes, even tho this laidback flow don’t match these Mystikal tracks, that much… My Rating: 4.3

07. “Did I Do It”

O’Dell on tha track! >>> Jammin’ lil’ No Limit track! “Fuckin’ right! Fuckin’ right!” Definitely a hyped-up hook to tha fullest!! Tha 1^st verse’s definitely official; gotta hold it down! Mystikal’s pure material at his finest!! Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice, too; gotta keep it movin’! My Rating: 4.7

08. “Here We Go” feat. B-Legit, E-40 & Master P

Produced by Studio Ton with this Cali collab! >>> A lil’ slow but not too bad, here, for a beat start… Consistent rappin’ comin’ outta tha 1^st verse! Gotta dig it, to tha fullest! Tha hook’s pretty laidback; sounds like somethin’ nice ta shmoke to… Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse and that spelling’s definitely A+, right there!! Diggin’ tha “na-na-na-na-na” shit, too! My Rating: 4.2

½time: Of course, A+ when it’s Mystikal on tha mic! When don’t you have a five-star-rated CD?! Or, just about that? A 4.5-rated CD, currently! Keep up tha continuous aggression, great production & dark-soundin’ tracks!!

09. “We Got The Clout” feat. Mia X

O’Dell doin’ this one… Heard on Mia X’s Unlady Like that there was a “Who Got Tha Clout”; now, it’s “We”? >>> This sounds betta? I’m diggin’ tha darker beat! Yeah, this tha same as tha previous one; feelin’ it a lil’ betta, tho! My Current Rating: 4.5

10. “Still Smokin’”

The Legendary Traxster on tha track! >>> This sounds dope! I already can tell I like this betta than tha “Here We Go”, which I considered a “smokin’” song… I’m feelin’ this laidback vibe in tha hook and I can’t imagine what tha verses—oh, ‘verse’, since it’s only 2:23 on tha length, sounds like! Hearin’ tha verse and you got this shit on lock, just spittin’ some fast rhymes ova this slower beat… My Rating: 4.2

11. “U Can’t Handle This”

Craig B on tha beat! >>> Sounds like a NY-type hip-hop beat, once again, as you’re handlin’ “this,” right now, on tha 1^st verse! Kinda sounds like a random song wit tha hook and all that, but it’s all about tha way you come through on tha track! Rah-rah-rah @ tha 2^nd verse; keep doin’ tha damn thang! And, you roarin’ wit tha 3^rd verse, here, keepin’ it goin’! My Rating: 4.1

12. “The Man Right Chea”

“Chea!” Craig B beat… >>> Kinda has that NY sound to it, but a lil’ more southern, here; nice lil’ slower hook… Feelin’ tha bassline in tha background; definitely dope! Luv how some of these sound effects in tha beat sounds like I’m in undaground tunnels! Neva woulda thought that’d be tha day, but I’ve done my explorin’, mainly in NY! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and yeah, you “own it, wit tha keys in tha ignition!” Nice job wit tha rest of this shit, strictly holdin’ it down! My Rating: 4.3

13. “Dick On The Track”

Ouch! Lol… Craig B wit anotha one! >>> Beat sounds pretty nice in tha background, as if we’re in a nice, chill, ‘90s-kinda atmosphere… Nice job wit tha beginning rappin’, on tha 1^st verse, and tha hook’s pretty nice! Likin’ how you put “tha dick on the track,” as far as referrin’ to tha “needle to tha groove;” dope shit… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice ta hear, here… Lots of shit goin’ on throughout tha 3^rd verse, as you keepin’ this shit goin’; nice! My Rating: 4.1

14. “Sleepin’ With Me” feat. O’Dell

Craig B wit anotha one! >>> A slower one with a lil’ bit of a jazz vibe in tha background? Interestin’… Tha hook’s nice and smooth, here, while tha 1^st verse’s pretty aggressive from you! Tha 2^nd verse’s keepin’ it goin’, here, as well; nice job! “Happily unmarried with no attachments,” on tha 3^rd verse, here; that’s tha way, at tha moment! Gotta get tha career in line! That’s what I be doin’! Diggin’ what you spittin’, non-stop! My Rating: 4.0

15. “It Yearns”

KLC, this time! >>> Diggin’ KLC’s beat sound in tha beginning, here! Sounds like he finna make a crazy-soundin’ track! That background sample when tha beat kicks in sounds like a NY-sampled beat! Ultimate combination, here!! Dope hook; dope track! Tha 1^st verse’s soundin’ pretty nice, too, consistently spittin’ that heat!! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty consistent wit what you bringin’ to tha table, here! Tha 3^rd verse’s pretty serious, too, wit how you’re keepin’ this goin’; dope! My Rating: 4.4

16. “Gangstas” feat. Snoop Dogg & Master P

Produced by both Craig B & KLC, this time! >>> This laidback, too; not bad wit how Snoop comin’ through on tha 1^st verse, here… Tha hook ain’t too bad, here; decent at its finest, so far… Let’s see if you can keep it up, Mr.kal, lol… Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse and it’s decent, so far… Feelin’ your aggression, but it’s usually a lil’ catchier than this… P on tha 3^rd verse, here, supplyin’ tha rhymes… Ehh, there had to be a track under a 4.0, but it happens… My Rating: 3.7

17. “Shine”

Last one’s a KLC production! >>> “Michelle…Elizabeth?” Sounds what I’m hearin’, or am I just stuck on work, at tha moment, lol? Funky lil’ beat, here… Consistent rappin’, here; diggin’ tha 1^st verse! Tha hook decent, here, wit this uncredited singin’… Holy, 2^nd verse! Shit wit tha “tub” and then, “peanut butter and jelly;” wow! Then, “them old Teena Marie records;” dope! Likin’ tha random samples at tha end, here… My Rating: 4.3

Overall: Consistent, aggressive, pure, produced right! What more can I say? I actually thought you did betta by yourself than with tha features on tha track… Either way, you already know how ta ace my interest! Gotta be tha best New Orleans rapper, statistically!!

Review #1,614: Ms. Tee "Hot Girl"

Reviewed on 1.28.2017 (Review #1,614)

Tryna keep these reviewz goin’, I have Ms. Tee Hot Girl, up next, released in 1997 on Untouchable Records… Start Time: 12:31 PM | End Time: 3:43 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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

Link To CD: N/A

01. “Intro (Untouchable)” feat. Mike Love

>>> Beat sounds catchy and so do you, with your flow! Gotta dig it… That ending’s excellent wit that accent!! My Rating: 3.8

02. “Get Your Shit”

>>> Nice lil’ bouncin’ track, here… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and you holdin’ it down wit your rappin’/flow! Tha hook sounds nice for somethin’ simple, here… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and you keepin’ this “shit” goin’… As always, diggin’ tha way you deliver tha vocals! My Rating: 3.9

03. “Ain’t No Love Lost”
>>> Beat has a nice lil’ bassline and it sounds nice. However, this kinda boring with its singin’ vibe… I don’t really have anything to say, here… My Rating: 2.6

04. “Making Cash Money (Commercial)” feat. Charlie Hanseen

>>> “Fila Phil,” y’all say? Nice lil’ commercial… Nice singin’ for, what was, tha future… My Rating: N/A

05. “Souldier Boy” feat. Pimp Dogg & Fila Phil
Weird spellin’? Diggin’ tha features, tho! >>> Beat’s ehh…; tha hook’s ehh… Prolly wanna just hear tha features! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and your flow/vocals are definitely catchy! Let’s see if I can have more interest… Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse and it’s a good representation of tha 504 life, here… We got Pimp on tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ so much betta! Definitely feelin’ his aggressive, 504-like rhymin’, here, actin’ “a donkey!” Fila on tha outro? Ain’t get ta hear much of him…? Felt like I got ripped off? An outro’s an outro, not a verse… My Rating: 4.1

06. “Hot Boys (Part 2)”
>>> A bouncy beat, here…; ehh, nothin’ much ta say… Why these tracks gotta be, like, five minutes long? Too long fa me ta handle, at tha moment… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s good for a unique flow. However, it ain’t tight enough for a rap track, fa me… Tha hook samplin’ somethin’, here, which wound up bein’ tha sample for Shaggy & Janet’s “Luv Me, Luv Me” track, which came out two years after… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and you keepin’ it goin’… And, tha 3^rd verse, keepin’ it goin’… Shoutin’ out a bunch of New Orleans rappers, here, as this track slowly ends… My Rating: 3.1

07. “Eat My Pussy Hole”
>>> Anotha really long one, about one second less than tha previous one (5:22)… Beat’s ehh, these X-rated lyrics are dope, but I’m just not into this slower vibe, that much… Holy, “Suck me till I bleed;” crazy bitch, right chea!! Fuck tha rest of this for draggin’ so long… Only thang I really like iz tha X-rated shit… My Rating: 2.7

½time: Just because it’s an album, doesn’t mean it has to be so long… A bunch of these tracks drag on for too long and I’m not really tha biggest fan of tha versatile flows… I do like ‘em, at times, but not over tha beats that they’re over… At tha moment, we have a 3.4-rated CD, currently… Gonna nap for two hours and I’ll be back… *Naps at 12:59 PM…* *Returns at 3:04 PM…*

08. “Drug Dealer (Radio Edit)” feat. L.O.G.

No dirty version?? >>> Beat’s plain… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s decent… Once again, this anotha long-ass song for no reason… Tha cryin’-like flow don’t go with this content, in my opinion… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ betta with what you’re bringin’ to tha table, as far as a deeper insight of tha “drug” content… Hearin’ L.O.G. pick up where you left off on tha 2^nd verse and he spittin’ some nice, consistent shit. Once again, anotha dude rescuin’ where your decent efforts have left off at… Kinda catchy wit how you singin’ tha outro, here… My Rating: 4.0

09. “I Fucked Your Man”
>>> Again, anotha long one… Catchy wit how you comin’ through wit tha flow and shit, but I’ono how many times I can keep hearin’ different tracks from you, without feelin’ bored… How much have I yawned, already??? My Rating: 2.8

10. “Free Your Mind (6^th Ward Style)”
>>> Here we go wit tha longness, again… Anotha bounce track wit more boringness… My Rating: 3.0

11. “Dead Beat Dad”
>>> Wow! It’s four-and-a-half minutes long instead of a full, five minutes long! Smh!! This bounce beat has a nice lil’ G-Funk sound in tha background, so that’s nice… My Rating: 3.2

12. “Been So Long” feat. Fila Phil
>>> Sounds like bitchy cryin’, but in a catchy way? Beat’s a lil’ plain, here, tho… Finally, at 2:01, Fila rappin’, here, soundin’ a lil’ catchy wit his bounce-like vocals… Overall, not tha greatest track but a lil’ better than tha recent ones on here… My Rating: 3.3

13. “That Fire” feat. S.A.C.
>>> Beat ain’t bad, but still a lil’ plain… You went back to tha five-minute tracks with this one… Tha hook’s pretty catchy wit this bein’ about “herb” and shit like dat… Again, I like how you comin’ through wit it… Let’s see if I can keep my interest up… Hearin’ tha S.A.C. Mafia on tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice, here; Sess 4-5? Consistent rappin’; dope! Feels like I need to hear tha male rap, again! This and my previous review were by females… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s soundin’ betta, here! “Gotta make me mad! Gotta make me mad!!” Yeah!! Luv how you sound from 3:09 – 3:16! My Rating: 4.2

14. “Me & You”
>>> A lil’ sappy, but hey, 3:45 on tha length? That’s a better effort!! Beat’s ehh; nothin’ special… Hearin’ you wit tha hook and it’s okay but nothin’ really jumpin’ out at me, here… My Rating: 2.5

15. “Where Dem Hot Niggaz At (Hot Boy Mix)” feat. Lokee

>>> Beat’s whateva; just a lil’ bouncy, here… Of course, had to end wit somethin’ at least five minutes long! Again, anotha rendition of, “Ooh, boy, I love you so. Neva gonna get my hands off you…” Lokee makes a decent appearance on this; not bad… Gotta remember that next month’s his birthday, on February 26! Tha day I do my taxes! Gotta love how you shouted out some dude “Corey” / “Cory” on tha outro, here; that’s my dude—well, that’s my best friend’s name! My Rating: 3.5

Overall: Prolly coulda had a bunch of two-and-a-half-minute, three-minute tracks on here instead of five-and-a-half-minute ones… A lotta these tracks were draggin’… Tha production was a lil’ weak/boring and some of tha exciting features saved it, but were decent, as well… I’ono, there’ll be more of you to offer later on in my marathon, tho…
