Review #1,929: 38 LaneLife "Alarm Clock, Vol. 2"

Reviewed on 4.30.2020 (Review #1,929)


Keepin’ these reviewz goin’ wit this G-Lane Steve-referenced release: 38 LaneLife Alarm Clock, Vol. 2, courtesy of Str8 Up Entertainment; Gardere, stand up! Start Time: 2:47 PM | End Time: 3:10 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!

© 2020 Review (Review #1,929) reviewed on 4.30.2020 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “I Really Mean It”
>>> We really goin’ a jacked-beat route, here? Not diggin’ tha whole Diplomats/Cam’ron beat choice, here, tho tha rappin’ sounds good… Yeah, hearin’ this whole thang & you sound good on tha mic, tho you need original production! My Rating: 2.3


02. “Infrared Dot”
>>> Rhymes aight, tho this ain’t somethin’ catchy ta enjoy, unless you want only rhymes… My Rating: 2.5


03. “Go Crazy”
>>> Ick!! Why these beats from tha 2000’s? So random fa 2020 & this G-Lane shit, smh… I like tha line, “Why would I give you my plug? You wouldn’t plug me back,” at least, tho this don’t deserve my feedback… Ick; even remakin’ tha hook, too? My Rating: 1.7


04. “Suge”
>>> Smh, more jacked beats but now, we’re in 2019, all of a sudden? Tha flow sounds pretty good, here, as far as how you handlin’ DaBaby’s track… My Rating: 2.6


05. “GL3” feat. G-Lane Steve, B Tha Don & Bando Bert
Gotta luv tha Lane! Bando, my dude!! >>> Hope this tha most original-soundin’ shit outta tha tracks on this release… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds nice; good shit from Steve on tha 1st verse…! I also like that this beat’s goin’ off a “Tha Block Is Hot”/Juvie-type sample/vibe; good thinkin’! Think: Sample hints, not jacked beats! Tha hook sounds nice wit tha “Gardere Lane niggaaaaaa…” shit; definitely a good anthem fa tha “Lane,” in 2020! Gotta luv “Skysail,” as B Tha Don keeps this shit goin’ wit tha 2nd verse! Yeah, “roll a fat-ass blunt!” Glad I can kick it wit y’all, no matter what day/night it iz! It’s all luv! “Q-Red record my shit;” shout out ta him…! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s pretty nice; consistency from you, at its finest…! My fuckin’ dawg on tha 4th verse (Bando Bert); gotta luv him! Wanna collab wit him, in tha future; keep dat gangsta shit goin’! You know what it iz! My Rating: 4.6


½time: This shit ain’t really tha greatest, except that “GL3” track I just heard iz on-n-poppin’. Not feelin’ tha jacked-beat approach, as tha review rating’s only at a 2.7, currently…


06. “Out The Mud”
>>> I’ono, I guess this str8? Just a good lil’ set of rhymes; decent, overall… My Rating: 3.1


07. “Who Run It”
>>> Sounds like a mix of shit that don’t work out: Beat sounds jacked; rhymes are too fast & jumbled; no catchiness on tha track, here… My Rating: 2.0


08. “Trauma”
>>> Not feelin’ tha sample in tha beginning… Hearin’ tha verse and it aight; nothin’ great… I didn’t know that some other jacked-beat producer jacked “Get Away” from Mobb Deep, back from ‘01/’02… With that bein’ said, you need some original production! My Rating: 2.4


09. “Ransom” feat. Mally Mal
>>> Why this shit song ta rap on? No comment on this; woulda been good between tha two of y’all if it was an original beat!! My Rating: 1.5


10. “Soldier Man Town”
>>> Good start wit tha “Polo logos & Bauds” but this beat’s so dry… Why does this track get ta be 3:06? Sounds so draggy wit tha boring beat, non-stop rhymes & no transitionin’! My Rating: 1.2


Overall: This ain’t score that great wit me; only one good track on here… That one good track shoulda been a representation of tha rest of tha tracks! Instead, tha rest of tha tracks were either boring, had no catch or were jacked beats… Despite tha bad review, tha good track’s gonna get added to my playlist. Not that many get added like that!
