Review #1,862: K.C. Redd & The Shake'em Up Girlz "It's A G-Thang"

Reviewed on 11.28.2019 (Review #1,862)


K.C. Redd & The Shake’em Up Girlz It’s A G-Thang iz my next review, released in 1999 on Take Fo Records; leggo… Start Time: 4:33 PM | End Time: 5:28 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!

Review #1,860: Juvenile "Being Myself (Remixed)"

Reviewed on 11.28.2019 (Review #1,860)


Got so much shit goin’ on, as I try to keep it together…! Just gotta keep prayin’ fa betta dayz…! Fa now, here goes my next review, in my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon: Juvenile Being Myself (Remixed), released in 1999 on Warlock Records & was produced by M.A.T.E.! Due to being all messed up, anything I previously reviewed’s just gettin’ a current rating. Start Time: 2:16 PM | End Time: 2:26 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!

Review #1,858: Ice Gold "King Of Bounce"

Reviewed on 11.27.2019 (Review #1,858)


Next up in my marathon of CDs, I got Ice Gold King Of Bounce, released in 1999 on Street Vibe Entertainment! Start Time: 3:59 PM | End Time: 4:43 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

03. “We Ballin’” feat. Red Boy & Papa Reu
>>> “Jammin’” with Bob Marley, in tha beginning? Oh, tha jam turned into a ball, on tha hook; sounds nice! Definitely feelin’ this blend/remake, on tha hook! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty consistent; y’all know how ta hold it down…! Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ pretty consistent, as well…! “Sober or high…;” can’t even enjoy tha music as much while “sober,” these dayz! Well, maybe before 25, before I got “high,” for tha 1st time. Now, live life to tha fullest, especially when you have a dead brother (R.I.P. my brother)! A lil’ bit of a Jamaican-soundin’ 3rd verse, here, with a singin’ flow; sounds catchy… “Shmokin’ marijuana;” definitely nice! Havin’ tha medical card, I should be able to shmoke legal “marijuana!” All day, every day! Got tha 4th verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice ta quickly progress this track; good shit… My Rating: 4.3


04. “The Way A Nigga Live”

06. “I Got Game” feat. Red Boy & Papa Reu
>>> A nice, laidback, though upbeat vibe fa tha ‘90s, here, on tha beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good; you know what it iz…!

Here comes tha 4th verse, soundin’ pretty nice; rhymes drillin’ atcha! My Rating: 4.0


07. “No Love For A Bitch” feat. 4-5 Click
>>> A lil’ more anthemic on tha beat, here; nice… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice, holdin’ it down… Sounds like this just keeps goin’, without a transition to tha hook? Don’t think I like this that much; just sounds like one big verse… Nice rappin’ but too long, especially 4:40, without a hook…! My Rating: 3.4


½time: Mainly, this iz a nice CD with some great vibes. Tha track I just heard may’ve not’ve rated as high as tha others, due to tha no hook. However, it’s a 4.1-rated CD, so far, so we’re still up for greatness…


08. “Make It Happen”
>>> Beat’s pretty nice, wit this G-Funk feel… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good; I feel what y’all spittin’… Got a hook (yay!), this time, soundin’ pretty nice; good shit!

Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ pretty nice; consistent, dope rhymes fa tha hood…! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice; good shit… A lil’ shout out ta tha hoods toward tha end, as well; good shit… My Rating: 4.2


09. “Playa In Me”
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ beat, here; a lil’ hypnotized? Hearin’ a chick on tha hook, here, samplin’ tha “ain’t no woman like tha one I got” lyric into, “Ain’t no playa like tha one I got.” Let’s see how tha verses hold it down… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good, as we’re relaxin’ ta this laidback vibe… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, soundin’ good; not too much ta say… Tha 3rd verse iz here and it sounds nice ta hear, here; keepin’ up… My Rating: 4.0

Now, y’all got a dude singin’ on tha hook, here… Sounds like a regular-soundin’ R&B singer of tha ‘90s but I like how they only said tha title once, split up… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty dope, just like tha 1st verse… Even mo shit comin’ from tha 3rd verse, here…; good shit…!

13. “Live With It”
>>> Anotha regular-soundin’ beat, with a faster vibe… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good; good lil’ mission-minded mind, here… Tha hook sounds okay, here; felt like I heard it before? Tha “money-makin’” part sounds familiar… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, soundin’ nice; can’t complain… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3rd verse, soundin’ good fa tha streetz; nice job… My Rating: 3.8
