Review #1,952: Lil' Bone "Pay Da Cost 2 Be Da Boss"

Reviewed on 12.30.2020 (Review #1,952)
 
 
Been a lil’ quiet wit tha reviewz, as of lately. With not havin’ a job fa four months & constant back/neck pains, I’ve been tryna get other ventures out tha way. I have new music comin’ soon, as well as a bunch of video countdowns & older projects I’ve been workin’ on, since tha previous decade. I’m also tryin’ to schedule my new album, Autistic Stoner Rap, as my 2,000th review. After this one, I’ll be at only 48 more reviewz till that feat, so I gotta pace myself accordingly. Lucky for this review I finna do, I made sure that after meetin’ dude on September 2, 2020 & later recordin’ in dude’s studio a week later, I had ta buy this release & review it b4 tha year ended! Here goes my review fa my homeboy, Lil’ Bone Pay Da Cost 2 Be Da Boss, courtesy of Bonefide Music Group [pronounced “BONE-AH-FYDE”]! Shout out ta DJ B-Real fa playin’ a major part in dis, as well!! Finna shmoke me a bowl & get right inta dis “Bonepiece” [pronounced “BONE-AH-PIECE”], lol! Start Time: 8:13 PM | End Time: 9:35 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!

01. “I Paid Da Cost”
Producer: DJ B-Real
Let’s git it! >>> Definitely pretty dope-n-dark production vibes comin’ out dem B-Real keyz; πŸ’―% pure!! Definitely a plus wit Bone comin’ through on this, wit πŸ’―% confidence…!! Luv how B-Real’s keys, on tha hook, sounded like they sunk, on one of tha proceedin’ barz! Definitely catchy—I’m pretty high, as I start dis off; definitely official!! Lol @ Bone’s line about tha “studio […] features […], sayin’, ‘Lawd Jesus’!” I’m glad I’ve always appreciated bein’ in tha presence of you & tha Bonefide’s company; glad you & B tha A-Team!! My Rating: 4.9
 
 
02. “Should’ve Been Blowed Up” feat. DJ B-Real
Producer: DJ B-Real
Looks like it gon be dope…, of course! >>> Sounds like a good, dark, classic-soundin’ street vibe; definitely nice! Really feelin’ how B comin’ through on tha hook; definitely official!! Lol, totally in-sync wit tha title part!! Like, frfr, he definitely got it & feel like he will blow “up” wit it!! Definitely dope hearin’ him spittin’ rhymes on tha 1st verse, tho; definitely official!! Felt every piece of it, from tha heart; that’s how B brings it!! Of course, you already know wit my opportunities comin’ up, I want B-Real ta “blow up” wit dis shit wit me, ya heard me?! Definitely, definitely…! Got you on tha 2nd verse, Bone, comin’ through wit a successful past, present & future—that’s tha present, lol (feelin’ “successful”)…!! My Rating: 4.9
 
 
03. “I Be Cuttin’ Up”
Neva reviewed an album from iTunes that has multiple years displayed on tha tracks. This track iz from 2017, so let’s see how you was “cuttin’ up,” durin’ that tyme…! >>> Definitely feelin’ how you have that πŸ’―% Jigga City vibe in ya, here, as well as tha dope-ass production!! You definitely stay in-sync wit dis shit, to tha fullest…! Definitely awesome ta hear you on tha 1st verse, ya feel me?! From tha “golds” to tha “hoes” to everythang that make you cut “up,” you got dis!! Tha 2nd verse dope as fuck, as well; glad you keep it as trill as can be; you already know what da bidness iz…! Sounds like it was meant ta be perfect, based off of how it’s a few years old & here, fa tha 2K20? Definitely!! My Rating: 5.0
 
 
04. “All I Need Is U” feat. Geeno & Drell
I hate when I buy albums from iTunes & random songs seem to not wanna convert. That means, I have to buy tha track(s) a 2nd tyme on Amazon, in order to review/have tha track(s). Was this worth tha extra purcha$e…? >>> Don’t know if Geeno got tha singin’ vibe down pat like B-Real, yet? Sounds like an “A” track & by “A”, I mean Dat Boy “A”—“A”drian Bagh…er, lol; that’s how I detect how its voice sounds… I have ta say, not somethin’ that I thought was gon be depressin’; catchy shit…! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & you got some good shit goin’ on, whether it comes ta this loyalty shit; on Bone! Instantly, not tha type of track I’d go as crazy as tha 1st three for but with this extra purchase, I guess tha “extra” was wortheth iteth, lol? Say that five tymes fast, lol! “Wortheth iteth, wortheth iteth, wortheth iteth, wortheth iteth, wortheth iteth!” Lol, I had only successfully said that five tymes fast, due to its rhythm, not how ta say it in str8-up English, lol! Don’t you luv that good, potent bud?! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds like a rough day in tha hoodz of BR; glad tha “struggle” brings tha BEST strength out ya…! Overall, a decent lil’ luvable song… My Rating: 4.2
 
 
05. “Who Cares” feat. DJ B-Real
Producer: DJ B-Real
! … ! … ! … >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ sample/key manipulation in tha beat? Cool; diggin’ how tha hook sounds pretty hypnotizin’, even wit B-Real playin’ wit tha voice EFX & shit… At least it’s only a portion of a voice effect on tha hook, overall; it’s acceptable, here. Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Bone & it sounds pretty fucked up wit tha whole custody/baby-mama drama…Sounds like a dope lil’ B-Real verse on tha 2nd verse, here; definitely cool…! Sounds like he runnin’ a race durin’ tha beginning of tha verse & then, hits us wit tha brakes ta slowly end his verse; definitely dope! Luv how this sounds real hypnotizin’, real & boss-made, tho a “struggle” on tha outside, literally. My Rating: 4.7
 
 
06. “Ain’t Gave Me Nothing” feat. Doe Boy
Almost ain’t recognize this Doe Boy till I randomly looked on my blog & almost 400 reviewz ago, back four years ago, I reviewed seven-year-olds All Eyes On Me by Nino, as well as Soul Muzik by Geeno; Doe Boy iz featured…! *Re-reads reviewz…* Hmm, looks like I went way more with tha Nino route…! I remember when Lee Banks went by tha moniker, durin’ tha 2000’s & early 2010’s. Seein’ later on this release that this Doe Boy done passed, let’s see how much he was worth, here, as I hear this…! >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ beat; definitely pure, to tha fulless! Cool lil’ hook wit how you come through wit some of tha best-soundin’ shit fa tha undaground! Glad you released this tha day b4 my most-recent birthday, tho I neva got tha chance ta peep it out till now…! I kept my promise; glad I’m reviewin’ this, right nah…!! Hearin’ how you come through wit tha hook, again & that “nothing” vibe makes you a strong one; real talk! Got tha good-ole Doe Boy on tha 2nd verse & yeah, definitely nice wit what he presented fa you, here…! Sounds like he had it rough wit tha BM drama; thank God I hopped over that venomous rabbit hole!! Either way, definitely a dope collab, from gettin’ it out tha mud!! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
07. “Built Like Dat”
2K-shitty-18, here… >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ beat start, here…! Sounds like anotha pure, Jigga City-type vibe, like anotha random/dope night in tha yo—tha Bonefide yo, that iz!! Sounds like a dope lil’ 1st verse, tellin’ “it like it iz,” like a real ‘80s baby in they 30’s would! Definitely feelin’ how you comin’ through on this, to tha fullest; definitely addictive & respected! Gotta be “Built Like Dat”; you already know what it iz! Keepin’ this shit goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit nothin’ but tha best! You πŸ’―% in these streetz; I can hear it in tha ‘80s-baby quality of yours, of course! Dem ‘80s babies know what it iz!! My Rating: 4.8
 
 
½time: Did tha weed make it seem like this a special review?? I feel that it depends on tha original AL—anticipation level. Because this was pretty “up there,” like my dude, Killa McClain, I already know that tha weed only made tha AL potent, ya heard me? It’s like I can really appreciate & expose tha good vibes, ya feel me?! Definitely on tha right track, with a 4.7 for tha average rating, right nah…!! That’s HUGE!!! It’s Young Ready That’s How I’m Coming—type HUGE!! I feel like it’s those dayz, again; what betta way fa me ta approach Age 21!! I’m SO glad I got ta reviewin’ this, like I said I was gon do, back on November 8th! It’s all about accomplishin’ what you say you gon do! That’s why, I’m leadin’/am valuable, till this day!!
 
 
08. “Take A Ride” feat. DJ B-Real
Would love to…! I remember when you & B took “a ride,” earlier this year, on May 2nd. Y’all went to tha N.O. & when I checked into tha live, I luv how B was like, “Frankiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!! Frankiiiiiiiiiiiie!! Tha Lucky Dog…!” Great tyme; now, let’s see if this “ride”’s worth it! >>> Definitely dope as fuck wit tha screwed voice, as well as tha beat intro slowly hittin’ hard!! Sounds like a dope lil’ hook, once again! I feel almost tha same way wit tha B-Real voice-effect exploration, like from earlier in this review…! Sounds good wit how you got tha 1st verse goin’—should I say, “Ridin’,” like you, Bone, lol? Definitely dope; luv tha “lean!” Luv how you fulla dem good “pillz,” just bein’ tha celeb you iz!! Luv how this has a bit of an H-Town vibe in tha lyrics, as well as how y’all slam tha BR vibes!! Ooh, B-Real on tha 2nd verse, really feelin’ tha vibe, to tha fullest (both B-Real & I feelin’ tha vibe)!! Definitely nice; luv how he have tha H-Town accent in this, too! Speakin’ of this past year, I luved when, on April 29th—I actually guessed it right, just now—B-Real had a story with, I think, tha Fredo Most Hated release in tha background & at tha end, he was like, “Yeah, that real mud!” I feel tha stickiness in it, displayed here!! My Rating: 4.8
 
 
09. “My Nigga (R.I.P. Doe Boy)” feat. Baby D
I see y’all made a typo on tha late homie’s name, here. Usually, tha typo iz a surroundin’ key; “B” & “D” are, like, keys away, lol… Either way, same thing wit Doe Boy, we got Baby D, here, on tha feature. I know of a Baby D from tha crunk tymes of tha 2000’s, as well as tha Baby D in tha dance-music world of tha ‘90s. Now, we have a Baby D in tha 2K20’s—oh wait, 2K18, accordin’ to tha year. He musta passed a while ago? >>> Again, it may sound like anotha instant doubt but I’ono if this chick can be on a B-Real level, between this singin’ & tha BR tight vibes…? I can appreciate it; it ain’t no supa-sad song, luckily. I feel how tha beats back it up in a nice way, ya feel me? Maybe, I should do a tribute video on Doe Boy, one day? At least you provided a fact in tha beginning of tha 1st verse, “October 30, 1991.” Oh, damn, “October 14, 2017;” that’s following a Friday tha 13th & that was tha same day that dude in tha BR streetz raped, robbed & threatened me! That street name where it happened just grosses me out, now!! However, I do remember bein’ in BR, durin’ that trip (my 3rd trip); I remember tryna get a hold of B-Real & Pablo Escobar told me that homeboy passed away. I ain’t connect who I thought died vs. Doe Boy as tha same person but now, it makes sense. Needless ta say, definitely feelin’ how you expressin’ tha pain, stories, life tymes & all tha moments ova this pure quality (production)!! Back ta hearin’ tha 2nd verse & I luv how you lead tha leader path ta your neph, here; glad you inspired his presence! I look at you as a pure BR a$$et, no doubt; keep up tha Bonefide grind!! Afta hearin’ how this track came out, between tha story & vibe, I seem ta like it more than when it started…! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
10. “My Girl”
Producer: DJ B-Real
Hmm… >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ B-Real beat, here. Like, it’s a gumbo pot? Sounds like it’s for tha ladies; sounds like it’s a lil’ bit on an upbeat R&B vibe; sounds like it’s for tha BR streetz? Lots in one gumbo pot!! Luv how you comin’ through on tha 1st verse, here; definitely official! Luv how B-Real holdin’ tha beat down, durin’ tha different patterns & shit; definitely official! Luv how you comin’ through on tha 2nd verse, Bone; all tha way “naked” on they ass, too! Gates closed, it’s Bone’s home, here! Also, tha singin’ cool; glad it came out tha way it did, nice & catchy/hood, ova tha B-Realness! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
11. “I Heard” feat. DJ B-Real & Peter Pound
Str8 outta 2K18 wit a Small Circle Kartel collab, here…! >>> Definitely dope shit fa tha streetz, here; all about them damn problemz! Great job collaboratin’ on tha hook, between you & P-Pound! Also, B-Real on tha 1st verse, here, all about tha instant/“direct” route, here! Always know you always got it, B-Real! I gon make SURE that I always got it, all day, every day!! Got P-Pound on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit his presence, soundin’ dope fa these SCK streetz of BR…! Though 2K18 lead to my arrest, at least there was this hot track ta locally make it through tha shitty air! Glad you got a FANTASTIC ear fa DOPE tracks, Bone!! You on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through wit them bullet-piercin’ rhymes & flows fa tha 2-2-5; πŸ’―!! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
12. “What U Need” feat. Big Wayne & Young Bleed
Producer: Big Wayne
Nice that you got Bleed on tha feature. I know when I was wit you & B on September 2nd, we talked about my upcomin’ mega BR collab. Not only am I still invitin’ you on to tha collab but I even had Bleed in mind, as well. When I told Bleed I was makin’ my way to tha Boot, he said, “I’m in Kentucky,” smh. Needless ta say, here we go wit dis track; can’t wait ta hear…! >>> A nice lil’ intro; let’s git it…! When will Big Weezy make a comeback fa me? Been almost four years since our last talk… Like, my last talk wit him iz almost longer than me not talkin’ ta B-Real? Like, seems like two different planets, though it’s my same life… Tha hook definitely nice fa tha streetz; gotta luv it & why I luv tha BR lyfe…! Got you on tha 1st verse, Bone, comin’ through wit your dope rhymes, as always; you know what it iziz…! Keepin’ it movin’, of course, Mr. Blizzeed on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through nicely on a Wayne beat…! Should I feel like it’s a guilty pleasure ta currently give Big Wayne feedback? Big Weezy soundin’ nice on tha 3rd verse; I’ll leave it just at that, until he reconnects wit me. In tha end, we all ‘80s babies… Then again, when he said, “Fuck jail,” it’s ironic that while we weren’t talkin’ (still), I was in “jail” on his birthday, in 2019; damn, Big Wayne… My Rating: 4.3
 
 
13. “Out My Brain” feat. DJ B-Real, Nino & Don Julio
Looks like it gon be a hype, fun track…!! >>> Yeah, sounds like a pretty hype hook; luv how B-Real comin’ through wit these “barz” & as a “Watson!” Luv that it’s a “Circle” presentation, here; you know what it iz!! “Been poppin’ since 3:00,” huh? Definitely all-nightin’ to tha fullest, here; crazy! Can only imagine tha EXPERIENCES goin’ through y’all!! Bone, you really official wit it!! Nino comin’ through on tha 2nd verse & he sound like he one of tha most-official ones, here; I’m definitely always down ta kick it wit BR’s best, in tha undaground! Oh boy, B-Real on tha 3rd verse, comin’ outta nowhere wit “two,” when it comes to them “tabs;” definitely πŸ’―!! Like, πŸ’― x πŸ’―, accordin’ ta B-Real’s body?! I think so…! Definitely real nice wit how he provided his πŸ’Š-up & πŸ’Š-out ass, lol!! Luv how tha ending just echoes, fades & iz still aggressive af!! My Rating: 4.9
 
 
14. “Stop Cuffin’”
Producer: DJ B-Real
Two words I hate! “Stop” & “cuffin’,” especially since my arrest in cuffs! That don’t “stop” me from anticipatin’ this one as a hot joint, tho…; maybe? >>> Luv how tha intro part reminds me of our boy, Doe-Doe, in a sense. Like, BR’s undaground, with tha dialect/beat vibe combination? Definitely dope; feelin’ tha hook, too, wit tha beat goin’ off & tha catchiness…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty nice, as “nice” iz tha consistent way you know how ta deliver them tracks! πŸ’―!! Bone always bones, lol, comin’ through wit tha “bitch” swappin’! An all-in hook!! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & tha consistency continues; livin’ that everyday life of tha BR undaground, here…! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
15. “Made Something Outta Nothing” feat. Geeno & Drell
Sappy-type of ending…? I only rated it a 3.3 when I reviewed it, back in 2K13… >>> Yeah, a lil’ sappy but I feel like I have a lil’ more appreciation fa it. Sounds like tha bouncy-type of BR beat sounds good wit how y’all came from tha “nothing;” thumbs up…! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse, Bone & I’m feelin’ how you expressin’ tha life of tha Bonefide! Real talk…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from Drell & it’s pretty nice; nice lil’ consistent flow, even if this seemed like a decent 1st listen, in tha past… Even a lil’ bit of Geeno comin’ through wit an outro part/endin’ of this release… Good job, y’all; glad I’m feelin’ it a lil’ more ta help it keep up wit your consistent ratings…! Great job; you bring an A+ vibe ta BR & I’m glad you know where tha REAL “A”-Game at!! My Current Rating: 4.0
 
 
Overall: I knew this release was gon be tha shit but I ain’t thank by shmokin’ that weed that this was gon make me feel like I was in 2008, only high!! That’s how I definitely want ta live my life, ya feel me?! AWESOME job believin’ as much in B-Real as you do; definitely worth a FORTUNE, in tha end!! Even doin’ this review felt like I was in 2008 with how it progressed, my inescapable feelings bein’ expressed, tha quality & B-Real’s contribution rate!! Definitely one for tha books, here!! Hate that I reviewed it a half-year & a third-month—lol—late, lol. However, I’m just glad you got my $$$, Bone, not just for this release but already on tha bidne$$ side of thangz! That’s a “W” for “Wonafide,” lol; frfr!
