Comin’
up next in my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon,
I have tha late Mr. Ivan Resurrection, released in 1999 on
Bang’n Records & Don B Productions…! Now, yesterday marked 12 years since
Ivan passed away. For those that ain’t see tha tribute video, it’s here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZaEcCwq2Es.
It was shot at a unique place (at tha abandoned Belchertown
State School
for tha Feeble Minded in Belchertown,
MA); did it in honor of Ivan (tha
look)! Now, with that bein’ said, here goes tha review! Start Time: 11:54 PM | End
Time: 1:07 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!
