Reviewed on 6.02.2021 (Review #1,973)
 
 
Gonna keep reviewin’; I may have a full-tyme comin’ up? Gotta stay prepared fa June 10’s celebration! This next one ain’t a Louisiana artist but a No Limit soulja from tha past: Big Ed The Assassin Special Forces, released in 2000 on Special Forces Records… Start Tyme: 6:45 PM | End Tyme: 7:15 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. Intro
>>> I’m ready. My Rating: N/A
 
 
02. “I Am The Hardest”
>>> Sounds like a dope beat & you apply some nice aggression to this track; good shit, especially how you come through on tha hook…! My Rating: 3.9
 
 
03. “U Know Where To Find Me”
>>> Sounds like anotha nice anthem fa tha “streetz”; you got this hook on lock…! Good shit comin’ outta tha verses, as well; represent, represent! My Rating: 4.1
 
 
04. “Battlefield”
>>> Anthemic! Luvin’ tha beginning; you got this hook on lock with this hot beat behind you! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
05. “My MFs”
>>> This seems like a good, slower track; still street & catchy with that chick on tha hook. My Rating: 3.8
 
 
06. “Get It On” feat. Fiend
>>> Nice collab wit Fiend, here; he holdin’ you down wit his aggressive-ass! You sound good wit how you come through on this, strictly forcin’ tha Forces on ‘em! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
07. Skit
>>> Sounds like you’re ready to hit tha bed wit this chick… She wanna be “smacked tha shit outta,” courtesy of “that dick!” My Rating: N/A
 
 
08. “Fuckfest” feat. Mo B. Dick
>>> Sounds dope with this “Fuckfest”; great hook & a lot betta expectations from you than how I put it, from tha skit! Hearin’ what you got fa tha track & it sounds cool; may be a lil’ long but it’s a nice collab. I like how Mo B. just lays down some harmonies… My Rating: 4.3
 
 
09. “Watching U”
>>> Sounds like an okay joint; nothin’ too much fa me ta say, here… Hearin’ tha hook & that male singer kinda ehh…; not really my favorite shit ta embrace. My Rating: 2.3
 
 
10. “Forgetaboutit”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ No Limit anthem; I give this one props, at least. Tha hook’s catchy with how you wanna move on from tha bullshit; a simple “Forgetaboutit” iz all you need! My Rating: 3.7
 
 
11. “Head Busta”
>>> Sounds like an anthemic beat intro, here…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s catchy; luv tha hype! Luv tha energy you bring on tha verses, too; can’t be denied, here! Good length, great energy; you’re set! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
½tyme: A 3.9-rated release, so far; most of this iz pretty nice, includin’ some bangerz…
 
 
12. “No Nigga”
>>> Sounds like an okay track; beat soundin’ good, includin’ tha organ that I’m hearin’. Hearin’ what you bringin’ on tha mic & it’s str8; great job wit what you deliverin’ for tha streetz…! My Rating: 4.0
 
 
13. “Get ‘Em”
>>> Anotha hype anthem; good shit! Glad you got tha energy to keep this consistently goin’! Great hook & great job with how you come through on tha mic! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
14. “Don’t Play With Me” feat. C-Murder, Kane & Abel
>>> Glad there’s more excitement with tha tracks, now; good beat & props fa C comin’ through on tha 1st verse! He knows what it iz with tha streetz; always representin’ hard! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty dope; luvin’ tha “bruh” parts…! Got tha Kane & Abel boyz on tha 2nd verse, too, doin’ tha damn thang on this beat; great contribution…! Also, nice job comin’ through on tha 3rd verse, Ed; glad you held it down with these boyz, durin’ your lifetyme! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
15. “Me & U”
>>> Sounds like an okay track & beat, here; decent with how you comin’ through wit it fa tha ladies, here… Sounds like tha hook samples some other track with its melody…? Not really into this kinda slower shit, with tha female singin’; just gotta keep it real. However, S/O ta you: “September 24th,” in “1997,” you “gave birth ta [your] son,” on Skull Duggrey’s birthday; huh bruh! My Rating: 2.7
 
 
16. “Study Ya Lessons”
>>> Sounds like an okay track; tha hook has a street side to it, as you’re requirin’ tha listener to “study” to tha fullest! Overall, tha verses seem str8; you holdin’ it down, regardless. My Rating: 3.6
 
 
17. “Who Am I”
>>> Seems like an okay beat & what you’re bringin’ to tha mic, here; not bad… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like a voice iz echoin’ at your reflection? I like how you’re counterin’ their reflections, when it comes to arguments… My Rating: 3.6
 
 
18. “Work It Out” feat. Mr. Serv-On
>>> Diggin’ this beat; diggin’ tha energy bein’ brought to tha hook, here…! Sounds like there’s a lotta beat interlude parts? Like, from 2:03 – 2:32 & 3:12 – 4:01; like, did you really luv tha beat or somethin’?? My Rating: 4.0
 
 
19. “I Got Yo Back” feat. Skull Duggrey
>>> Definitely feelin’ tha energy y’all bringin’ to tha table, here; gotta luv Duggrey!! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty dope; energy’s to tha max fa this street shit! This that quality; props fa tha aggression! Gotta always have it ta express tha most! Gotta luv how Duggrey comes through on tha 2nd verse, strictly depictin’ tha eye of tha streetz! Huh bruh; keep on reppin’ fa tha N.O. & loyal cats, Big Dugg! Just luv his focus on tha subject & how he keeps tha “hoodlum shit” on-n-poppin’! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
20. “Thank U”
>>> Sounds like a catchy, eerie & joyful beat start? Great lil’ track to tha mama, even tho I don’t go crazy over these types of jointz. Sometymes, it seems like tha sound of it wants to lean toward bein’ depressin’; I’ono… Maybe, that’s tha reaction I get when I hear a male R&B singer singin’ tha hook? My Rating: 3.2
 
 
21. “Don’t Give Up”
>>> This one seems like it’s more of a sad vibe than tha previous track on here… Yeah, this just has a laidback but sad vibe, with how tha female singer sings on tha hook. She remakes this “wishin’ on a star” perspective for your hook; not tha worst but I like how she blends tha “star” with tha “ghetto,” here. As far as you, you try & keep tha positive mindset but I’ono, I can’t get happy with this one… My Rating: 2.4
 
 
22. “Special Forces Ops”
>>> Sounds like anotha anthem for tha streetz; glad you got plenty of ‘em, throughout your releases! Nice job with tha beat, here & how you apply your energy to tha track! “Special Forces” definitely in tha buildin’ with your energy, here! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
23. “Armageddon”
>>> Sounds pretty dope; tha dark beat helps make you worth more! Hearin’ what you got on tha rhymes & they’re pretty aggressive & real; props fa layin’ it down! Seems like lots of rhymes, despite bein’ a short track? Oh, tha “LEGOs!” My Rating: 3.9
 
 
Overall: Great energy you provided on most of tha tracks, here; thumbs up! Too bad you had to leave this Earth but I’m glad you provided anthems fa those to love, in tha streetz. Also, I’m real glad you hooked up wit my soulja, Skull Dugg, fa a track on here; he always tops my rankings on tha reviewz! He’s tha realest out tha N.O.!
