Reviewed on 11.22.2019 (Review #1,855)

Here comes tha next review: Hot Boy$ Guerrilla Warfare, released in 1999 on Cash Money Records & Universal Records, as well as bein’ produced by Mannie-freaky-freaky-Fresh! Start Time: 4:42 PM | End Time: 6:00 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!

Too bad I’m goin’ through my sentencin’ shit; I’ono about “Tuesday & Thursday,” tho, as it seems like every day! Smh…! Got tha 2^nd verse from Wayne, here, soundin’ irresponsible? Lots of fuck-ups? Can’t imagine me ever fuckin’ up; they won’t tolerate none of that! Also, Juvie poppin’ up, spittin’ some nice lil’ rhymes fa these bullshitty times… A 3^rd verse, here, from Gizzle, soundin’ pretty nice… Gotta “play it smart,” especially me!

17. “Too Hot”
>>> Back to tha Cash Money-soundin’ beats, here…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from B.G., here, always spittin’ on somethin’ “hot!” Tha hook’s pretty nice, from Juvie; all about tha breathing version of tha word, “Hot!” Why an edit at 1:27? Not cool…! Either way, Juvie on tha 2^nd verse, all about tha “lil’ one,” this time, lol. Got Turk on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit his typical shinin’ rhymes; of course, I dig ‘em… Got Wayne on tha 4^th verse, here, comin’ through wit his “‘Bauds;” definitely nice! My Rating: 4.0
