Review #1,824: Wet Boys "Puttin' Out The Fire, Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 10.14.2019 (Review #1,824)

I have to admit, now that I found The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Randomizer, it’s been makin’ me wanna keep playin’ & get back ta consistently reviewin’! I’m glad I re-found that love for consistently reviewin’, again, so I finna get inta this next one: Released in 1998 on Sporty Records & produced by T-Bone, here goes my review fa N’awlinz’s Wet Boys Puttin’ Out The Fire, Vol. 1! R.I.P. Sporty-T! Start Time: 3:12 PM | End Time: 4:32 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

Could you imagine you guys attackin’ tha auto-tuned “Wayne” of today? Even from a decade ago!
