Review #1,837: C.U.Z. (Cold Untouchable Zoldierz) "The Prologue"

Reviewed on 10.18.2019 (Review #1,837)


As I continue these reviewz, since I have tonight & 2morrow night off, I’m just gonna review & play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Randomizer till I wanna crash…! Here comes my next review in my marathon: C.U.Z. (Cold Untouchable Zoldierz) The Prologue, released in 1999 on Platinum Groove Entertainment & was produced by Alonzo Jackson! Start Time: 9:09 PM | End Time: 10:14 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!

01. Intro Shouts
>>> A nice, slowed-down “Triggaman” sample, here, ta kick thangz off…! My Rating: N/A


02. “Gangstas Acting Bad”
>>> Got a female rappin’? Actually, no; that was just an intro part ta this song… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds a lil’ smooth wit one voice & aggressive wit anotha voice; dope… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and I’ono if I’m feelin’ this flow; sounds a lil’ all over tha place…? Of course, just as if tha review’s startin’ off iffy, here comes a female rappin’ on tha 2nd verse. Not tryna hate; it just lowers my anticipation level… It’s an okay verse fa tha hood, as well as how this beat helps it out, so I’ll give it that… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and this sounds like tha aggressive dude, from tha hook… Sounds betta ta hear this normal flow and how he comin’ through wit it… My Rating: 3.6


03. “Crazy 4 U”
>>> A female singin’ in tha beginnin’, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s okay; I’ono how interested I’ll be in this… Hearin’ tha hook and even tho tha chick singin’ sounds nice and smooth, it’s not for me; too slow fa me… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds okay, even tho I’m not really interested in this joint, anymore… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it aight; not gonna say anythang else… My Rating: 2.6


04. “Keep Jumping”
>>> I guess, just by realizin’ with tha front cover, there’s a chick that sings in tha group; different, I guess? I’ono how well these jointz’ll do fa me but tha hook ain’t too bad, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds okay wit tha rhymes… I prolly won’t be too interested in leavin’ feedback, due to tha style ain’t really up my alley… Tha 2nd verse’s str8; I’ll leave it at that. Tha remaining shit on this track iz just singin’ and a lil’ bit of rappin’, which iz ehh… My Rating: 2.5


05. “‘Bout Dat Drama”
>>> Female rappin’, dis time? Tha beat has some cool lil’ sound effect goin’ on, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it decent; good G-shit, at least… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds good ta analyze tha “drama;” nice… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds good; I’ll give it props… Tha female gives an aggressive vibe, on tha 2nd part of tha 2nd verse, here; feelin’ it… Tha 3rd verse iz soundin’ nice, as well; this one’s tha best one, so far… My Rating: 3.8


06. “Let’s Make It Happen”
>>> Sounds like anotha soulful track, here…; decent lil’ hook and beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and tha dude’s soundin’ okay, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s okay; I’ll give it some props… Got tha 3rd verse goin’ on, here & it’s okay, as well; not too bad, here… My Rating: 3.3


07. “Journey”
>>> Tha hook sounds kinda sappy, here, wit tha beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and tha dude sounds good, describin’ this sad “Journey;” kinda too depressin’ fa me, overall… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ okay, as well… Too depressin’ wit tha 3rd verse!! Sucks hearin’ about y’all “buryin’ [y’all] dog in tha dirt;” sucks…! My Rating: 2.3


08. “Slooow Ya Roooole”
>>> A sample from tha ‘80s, here (“Gotta Get Home With Me Tonight”); I’ono, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s okay, wit tha rappin’. I’ono how much this’ll be fa me, wit this slow/depressin’ vibe… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s good wit tha rhymes; I’ll give it that… Tha verse switched up to tha chick, deliverin’ some depressin’ rhymes; hmm… Got tha dude rappin’ on tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ okay/good, tho it’s still a dark subject… My Rating: 2.1


09. “I Don’t Know”
>>> Tha hook sounds more on a hyped-up level, compared to tha depressin’ shit on here; nice… Hearin’ tha beat and it’s pretty laidback-soundin’, compared to tha gruff-soundin’ vocals on tha 1st verse… Literally, a DMX vibe? Sounds like him… Too bad this CD’s a lot more depressin’ than his strong vibes… Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, as well; tha aggression continues… Pretty consistent on tha 3rd verse, here; unstoppable rhymes…! My Rating: 4.0


½time: Only a 3.0 for tha CD rating, so far; a lil’ too depressin’? Didn’t expect there to be so much R&B vibes, as I’m tryna just review Louisiana rap… Especially, since losin’ my brother, I try not to engage in sad/depressin’ themes…


10. “Reap_ _ _ _ _Sow”
These weird titles… >>> Beat & beginnin’ sounds okay, so far… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s okay, here… Sometimes, I don’t even expect to know what tha hook iz; it just comes outta nowhere… Also, it throws me off wit all tha underscores… Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ okay; feelin’ tha aggression, at times… Tha rest of this kinda drags on… This CD shouldn’t be almost a full CD; too slow fa dat…! My Rating: 3.1


11. “Get Krunk “We Don’t Care””
>>> Wow, a “krunk”-soundin’ hook, here? Much more upbeat on tha beat, as well as tha 1st verse’s delivery… Oh boy, tha female’s rappin’ on tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ okay… Good for tha clubs but I can’t take female rappers that serious… Sounds good wit tha 3rd verse, as y’all keep this shit comin’; not too bad, overall… My Rating: 3.7


12. “Reverse The Game”
>>> Beat ain’t too bad, here; tha hook okay, as well… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds like a nicely-delivered verse. I’ono how interestin’ this track iz, to me; we’ll see as it goes on… Tha 2nd verse’s ehh; kinda bored by it… Tha 3rd verse keeps this goin’, even tho my interest done dried out, by now… My Rating: 2.4


13. “Pownds Of Skunk”
! >>> Sounds like a good lil’ hook, wit a faster-soundin’ beat… Tha 1st verse sounds good; let’s see how this’ll continue… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ good, too; consistent rhymin’, as well…! Tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ good and bouncy, as well; nice… My Rating: 4.1


14. “Zoldierz”
>>> Sounds like anotha hyped-up hook; it sounds good, I guess? Beat’s a lil’ plain but bounces… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s okay; not much ta say ‘bout dis… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here & it’s cool; not much ta still say, tho… Got tha 3rd verse, here & it’s tha chick…; I’ono, I guess it fits in wit tha track… My Rating: 3.5


15. “Do Whatcha Wanna”
>>> Nice lil’ bassline and plain/upbeat beat, here… Diggin’ that “shmokin’ marijuana” part, on tha hook; definitely nice…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds nice; good lil’ flow, too… I guess tha “marijuana” part was only an intro? Hearin’ tha actual hook and tha beat switched to a “Triggaman” beat… I’ono but it’s stayin’ hype, so I guess that’s good? “If you a weed head, nigga, and you luv ta shmoke…;” nice lil’ chant…! Hearin’ tha next part and I’m diggin’ this “pass that weed ta me…;” good shit…! If y’all gon “shmoke all ya wanna,” y’all prolly shouldn’t be so depressed, wit tha music… My Rating: 3.9


16. “‘Bout Dat Drama (Radio)”
See #5 fa tha review…


17. “Let’s Make It Happen (Radio)”
See #6 fa tha review…


18. “Let’s Ride”
>>> Beat’s cool, here; hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty good… Not too much goin’ on wit this 1st verse, here; it’s only okay, so far… Tha 1st part of tha 2nd verse sounds odd, wit tha voice/flow; it ain’t that bad, tho… Hearin’ tha rest of tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ cool/a lil’ off, at times… “Do ya want some cookies?!?” ??? Tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ pretty aggressive; random fa dis? Still, sounds good… My Rating: 3.7


Overall: Tha review ain’t really do too well, here. Wasn’t really inta tha depressin’ shit and when it came to regainin’ scores, I was already losin’ interest. Nothin’ too strikin’, here but at least it was an attempt at some N’awlinz rap…
