Review #1,878: Mac "World War III"

Reviewed on 12.18.2019 (Review #1,878)


Couldn’t get up fa a few hours but I’m here, now, on to my next review: Mac World War III, released in 1999 on No Limit Records & Priority Records…; free Mac! Start Time: 2:14 PM | End Time: 3:36 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!

½time: A 3.9-rated CD, so far; you got a good amount of street shit on here… Let’s see how you do on tha 2nd ½!


11. “Cops & Robbers”
Producer: Renior
>>> Anthemic beat intro? Sounds nice & catchy fa a title like dis & all tha other street vibes you brought to tha table… Beat got a lil’ less catchy durin’ tha 1st verse but picked back up, a lil’… Hearin’ what you got on tha 1st verse & it’s soundin’ good wit how you handle it… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds like you always be prepared; good shit.

For all tha features, I thought this woulda had a lot more ta offer, rather than err-body in tha back of tha studio… My Rating: 3.3
