Review #1,839: C-Murder "Bossalinie"

Reviewed on 10.19.2019 (Review #1,839)

Keepin’ these reviewz goin’ wit a 28-track review, up next: C-Murder Bossalinie, released in 1999 on No Limit Records & Priority Records…! Start Time: 9:52 AM | End Time: 11:09 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 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

Produced by: O’Dell

>>> Nice piano intro from O’Dell, here…! My Rating: N/A

02. “Ghetto Boy” feat. Mac, Kane & Abel

Producer: Craig B

>>> Nice beat, here; diggin’ tha hook from you, C! Almost sounds like you’re breathin’ heavy but it’s “a lil’, a lil’, a lil’…,” lol… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice, here; good shit! Got tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit they “ghetto”-ass; nice… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it keeps this shit on-n-poppin’; good job! Got a “ghetto”-soundin’ outro goin’ on, here; nice… My Rating: 4.4

03. “Like A Jungle”

Producer: MP

>>> Kickin’ it off wit a quiet-soundin’ C on tha intro, here, as well as tha hook… Typical “it’s like a jungle, sometimes…”-sampled lyrics, here; decent… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and I’m feelin’ tha grimy vibes of your rhymes, here; good shit… Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here & that’s that shit: “As I blaze this weed, mixed with hash…!” I’m likin’ these minute-long outros goin’ on, at tha end of each track; good shit! My Rating: 4.2

04. “Gangsta Walk” feat. Snoop Dogg

Producer: C-Murder & L.T. Hutton

>>> Diggin’ how you repeat tha “gangsta” part, just how you repeated tha “lil’” in “Ghetto Boy”; good hook! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds dope, ova this beat! Got Snoop on tha 2^nd verse and this a nice blend of tha west & your southern-ass; good shit! Tha 3^rd verse iz nice, here; diggin’ what you spittin’…! Of course, “Sometimes, I gotta bust a nut & sometimes, I don’t;” I co-sign dat! My Rating: 4.3

05. Skit

>>> Likin’ how you used tha “Gangsta Walk” beat on this skit’s beat; good skit… Gotta “go thru tha front door,” here…! My Rating: N/A

06. “Livin’ Legend” feat. Master P

Producer: MP
>>> Sounds good wit you on tha intro, as well as tha hook; nice beat, as well… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you and yeah, “I used to dream…,” when it comes to success. It’s like me, now; I achieved tha success but this probation shit & shit makes me feel like I’m a 24-year-old livin’ in a 31-year-old’s body; doesn’t fit! I live tha dream, now; I no longer dream it, so it hurts to not live it, at tha moment…! Got P on tha 2^nd verse and, whoa, what energy! Dope collab!! My Rating: 4.3

07. “Money Talks” feat. Silkk & Fiend

Producer: KLC
>>> Beat sounds like a smooth, gangsta-soundin’ beat; good shit… Hearin’ tha hook and it str8; let’s see how tha verses come out… Hearin’ Silkk on tha 1^st verse and it’s aight; flow’s a lil’ off, at times… Got you on tha 2^nd verse, soundin’ nice wit dis life-of-a-gangsta shit; keep it goin’! Mo shit on tha 2^nd verse, here, wit Fiend poppin’ in, soundin’ hype & dope! My Rating: 4.1

08. “Street Keeps Talkin’” feat. Dez

Producer: Dez of Sons Of Funk

>>> A nice lil’ singin’ hook from Dez and a female, here; beat pretty smooth, as well… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you and it sounds good. I agree wit tha “tryna make a change” part. As much as I’ve been ready ta “make a change,” nothin’ wants to develop. Luckily, just this month, I’m slowly shakin’ back…, finally! Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on from you, here, soundin’ nice; gotta “go straight!” I agree wit how “these fools wouldn’t let me.” That’s how I was, back then. Luckily, when you run into trouble, it makes you stronger. That’s why, every bullshit move that happened to me, this year, I don’t regret it! My Rating: 3.7

09. WBALLS
>>> I like how this “station” iz called “WBALLS;” What BALLS, lol!! My Rating: N/A

10. “Ghetto Millionaire” feat. Kurupt, Snoop Dogg & Nate Dogg

Producer: C-Murder & L.T. Hutton

>>> Beat sounds good, for this west vs. south collab… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ nice, wit your attitude…! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s soundin’ okay; simple and sweet, I guess? Kurupt’s on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit “only surroundin’ [himself] wit” tha Gs; good shit! Got Snoop on tha 3^rd verse, deliverin’ his nice, west-soundin’ flow fa you, here; good job… Likin’ how Nate appears on tha final hook, here; definitely dope…! My Rating: 4.0

11. “Lord Help Us” feat. Rico of Sons Of Funk

Producer: John Rhone & Ontario Haynes

>>> A slow-soundin’ hook and beat, here; ehh, I’ono… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you and that’s pretty deep: “Daddy said, ‘One day, son, you gon be faced with this problem. …Gotta solve it!’;” that’s how I feel, this year! Despite me likin’ that line, I don’t really fuck wit this; I’m not into tha depressin’ shit… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and this sad vibe continues… Got tha 3^rd verse goin’ on, here & tha depressin’ vibes continue… Not really for me, overall; that’s all I gotta say… My Rating: 2.6

12. Bitch Niggas

>>> Sounds nice wit tha party-soundin’ effects (that’s what it sounds like, ta me); I think it’s traffic? Yeah… My Rating: N/A

13. “On My Enemies”

Producer: O’Dell

>>> Sounds like an okay beat/hook, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds like some consistent rhymes from you, here; good shit… Got you on tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear… Got an outro from you, here, soundin’ nice, once again… My Rating: 3.9

14. “Freedom” feat. Anita & Porsha

½time: A 3.8-rated CD, so far; most of it’s dope but I’m not inta tha sad songs…

15. “Lil’ Nigga” feat. Master P

Producer: Ke’noe

>>> Sounds good, on tha hook; feelin’ tha beat and tha not-depressin’ dark vibe! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from P, soundin’ nice on tha mic… Got you on tha 2^nd verse, soundin’ pretty dark on tha mic; definitely feelin’ it… Anotha nice outro comin’ from you, here; you know what it iz…! My Rating: 4.2

16. “Murder & Daz” feat. Daz Dillinger

Producer: C-Murder & L.T. Hutton

>>> Beat ain’t bad, here; more on tha west vs. south-type… Got Daz on tha 1^st verse, soundin’ pretty energetic and nice; feelin’ it… Got tha hook soundin’ pretty anthemic, wit all tha “hey (hey), ho (ho);” good job, Daz… Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse, C & it sounds good; handlin’ this west vs. south beat well… I like how you rhyme “masturbation” wit “hesitation;” interestin’… A broke bitch on tha outro, here, as well as y’all handlin’ her; nice… My Rating: 4.2

17. Piano (Skit)

18. “Nasty Chick” feat. Rico of Sons Of Funk

Producer: John Rhone & Ontario Haynes

19. “I Remember” feat. Magic & Porsha

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> An okay beat; not sure if I feel Porsha on tha hook, due to sadness… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you and it aight; not much ta say, here… Got Magic on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit an okay verse; thought he’d be more aggress—oh yeah, it’s more on tha sad tip… I mean, it’s more on a reminiscent tip but it leads to today’s sadness? My Rating: 2.9

20. Dedication

>>> Thanx for tha “dirty south” “Dedication,” here… My Rating: N/A

21. “Where We Wanna” feat. Goodie Mob

Producer: KLC

Oh, we got Cee-Lo on tha 3^rd part of tha 2^nd verse, soundin’ like a scary character/ghost (that’s what he used to remind me of); nice collab! My Rating: 4.3
