Review #1,844: Da Zoo "Boyz To Soljas"

Reviewed on 10.19.2019 (Review #1,844)


Keepin’ tha reviewz movin’ wit Da Zoo Boyz To Soljas, up next, released in 1999 on Big Belly Records! Start Time: 9:59 PM | End Time: 11:25 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!

16. “Representing Uptown”
>>> Beat ain’t too bad, here; sounds str8… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds like a lazy-soundin’ flow, as tha lyrics are decent; not bad… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s made in a ‘90s way, wit tha title at tha end of tha verse/before tha hook’s beat plays; kinda boring…? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ okay, so far… Seems like it’s draggin’, as tha 2nd verse progresses; I’ono, overall… My Rating: 3.4

Overall: Thought most of this was nice ta hear… Got a lil’ boring/plain at some points, durin’ tha 2nd ½ but it still made up for it, through tha good scores…
