Review #1,913: Twelve A'Klok "Lost 2 The World"

Reviewed on 12.27.2019 (Review #1,913)

Got anotha review fa tonight, as I keep on pushin’, here… It’s for tha late Twelve A’Klok Lost 2 The World, released in 1999 on Forever So Real Records & was produced by Wydell Spotville! Start Time: 11:52 PM | End Time: 1:10 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!
