Review #1,975: Black Menace "Mo Drama"

Reviewed on 6.03.2021 (Review #1,975)
 
 
Back up in tha mornin’ fa mo reviewz…! Still couldn’t get up at 3:55, due to my neck needin’ to be re-calibrated by me layin’ flat. However, I’m up now & I’m ready ta review: Black Menace Mo Drama iz my next review, released in 2000 on Menace Entertainment! Start Tyme: 5:19 AM | End Tyme: 6:32 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!

01. “Yes Indeed” feat. Insane & Mr. Terror of Foolish
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> Kickin’ off with a bouncin’ & hype vibe, here… Sounds like a good lil’ hook, although it sounds a lil’ dated when I hear tha chick say tha title part; that’s just me, tho. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds like it’s on some Cash Money-type shit, but on a faster tip; good shit, y’all. Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse & I’m diggin’ tha rapid, southern, kick-ass rappin’; dumb shit!! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s pretty dope, as well; can’t be denied with tha Black Menace boyz! Oh shit, ain’t realize there was room fa a 4th verse—oh wait, just a few extra barz from Mr. Terror! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
02. “Fuck Friends”
Producer: Hakeem & Kajun Phunk
>>> Sounds like anotha hyped-up street anthem, here; good hook & beat, too! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds pretty gutta; gotta luv how tha Menace boyz come thru! Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2nd verse & it’s true: “You ain’t heard of tha Menace? Where tha fuck you niggaz from?” iz what y’all sayin’; I agree. I been knowin’ y’all fa a long minute, now, even showin’ y’all buku luv on my then-radio show, “Tha Louisiana Pit”. With that bein’ said, great job with tha 2nd verse; “fuck” those that aren’t “friends”! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s cool, too; just luv y’all energy fa tha streetz at all tymes! Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 4th verse & it’s cool ta add; more darker, deeper street shit, here… My Rating: 4.3
 
 
03. “Watch’em”
Producer: Precise
>>> Sounds familiar; I know some of these tracks from either previous reviewz or random radio spins. I’ono if I’m re-reviewin’ but this sounds good with tha hook & energy applied; great shit! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s cool with what’s comin’ through tha mic; keep it movin’! Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 2nd verse & y’all know what it iz with tha quality for tha streetz! Tha 3rd verse’s pretty gutta; I feel like I’m at a relative’s afterparty with tha Graveyard Soldjas! Also, a dope-soundin’ 4th verse; fully-focused on rappin’ awesome on tha beat, here! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
04. “Don’t Talk About It” feat. Geronimoe of Foolish, Insane & Tim Smooth
Producer: DJ Dick
Geronimoe iz also known as P-Town Moe, FYI… >>> Gotta luv tha continuous energy on this Mo Drama! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty hype; luvin’ tha energetic street content! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like anotha anthem, especially with tha “uh oh!!” chant in tha background! Gotta luv tha energy; I always say it! Keepin’ this shit goin’ on tha 2nd verse & Tim Smooth comin’ through wit some street knowledge, mixed with this club-type shit; nice combo…! Also, mo shit comin’ outta tha 2nd verse; gotta dig tha continuation! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse comin’ through, here & it’s cool; some of it sounds slightly off-beat but tha contribution’s nice ta hear, basically. My Rating: 4.4
 
 
05. “Madness”
Producer: Hakeem
>>> Sounds like a gangsta-ass beat start; definitely feelin’ tha darkness! Sounded like tha rappin’ came outta nowhere with its quickness; may be a lil’ too fast, tho? Like, good 1st verse but a lil’ too fast? Maybe, that’s why this iz called “Madness”? Tha hook’s pretty dope with how it’s delivered; tha “Madness” continues! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through with mo “Madness”; good shit! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
06. “We Are One / Definition Of Love”
Producer: Hakeem
>>> A lot softer than tha previous joint! Sounds like a good lil’ street hook, at least; glad y’all can bring out tha street vibe. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s aight; sounds less-enjoyable ta me, in its softer wayz. Like, tha content’s still “written in blood”; it’s just a softer flow than tha previous jointz on here. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s str8; not much ta say about it… Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through with a more-lively voice & flow; a lil’ betta, this tyme… Tha 2nd part of tha 3rd verse seems a lil’ sappy with tha voice & flow, this tyme; not really into tha sad struggle… My Rating: 3.7
 
 
07. “Block Bleeder” feat. Insane & Smitty Da Pimp
Producer: Hakeem
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ slow beat fa tha streetz but tha hook’s definitely catchy with this flow; great job, y’all! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s all about bleedin’ tha “block”; good shit/rhymes! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse, comin’ through with a great sense of rapid rappin’; huh bruh…! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s pretty nice with what y’all contributin’ to tha track; great job with tha collab…! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 4th verse, here, comin’ through wit some nice-ass rapid rappin’! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
08. “Do Watcha Gonna Do” feat. Valerie George
Producer: Hakeem
>>> Beat ain’t bad but provides energy fa y’all ta kick ass on tha 1st verse, here; great job with tha hood shit…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s a lil’ sappy fa me with this chick singin’; woulda rather’ve heard Ms. Tee’s voice. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty nice, as this hood track continues… Mo shit comin’ out this track with tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ like some good street shit; not bad, overall, for tha verses… Got a 4th verse, here, soundin’ like an okay contribution; just seems like too much, at this point in tha track… My Rating: 2.8
 
 
½tyme: Y’all real consistent with tha tracks, energy & hood content, here; definitely a major plus! Just didn’t really fuck wit #08 but for tha most part, y’all keep that energy up fa tha streetz! Y’all got a 4.1 for tha average rating, so far; let’s keep it movin’!
 
 
09. “Drama As Usual”
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> Again, this anotha one of those familiar titles, so I’m not 100% sure if I already heard this one… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty much filled with insanity; beats are energetic & tha rhymes are undeniable!! Also, hearin’ tha hook & it goes through so fast to where you have to automatically accept it as a banga; good shit! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty nice, as this rapidness continues…! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ great ta hear; unstoppable! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
10. “Rush The Floor” feat. Kangol of PNC & Sporty-T
Producer: Precise
>>> Slightly slower than tha previous joint but still fulla energy; nice lil’ hook, here…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty dope with this life-of-tha-party shit…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s catchy; can’t deny tha club at all tymes! Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 2nd verse & this deeper-soundin’ voice gives more of a street vibe, compared to my club-soundin’ perspective; good shit… Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 3rd verse, as well; some mo street shit at its finest…! Nice outro from Sporty-Tiggy-Tiggy-T, as well; props fa tha hype…! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
11. “Po-Mama”
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> Thought this was gon be more depressin’ but it’s more energetic than I thought; good lil’ beat & 1st verse, here…! Props fa havin’ that aggression ta express this street shit; this that shit you need fa quality! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds expressive but not too depressin’, at least… Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty nice; keep bein’ gritty & grimy! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & tha “ganja marijuana” be on-n-poppin’; definitely what’s up! Seems like a bunch of shit sounds random ta hear on this track but that’s ‘cause there’s so many lyrics; insanity! My Rating: 4.1
 
 
12. “Hustlin’ 4 Nothin’”
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> A slower track? I’ono how much I can feel this; “and, do you care………???” Like, more cheesy than serious, as far as how I take it? Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s aight; just sounds too much like it’s on a depressin’ tip, here… Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through with some nice rhymes; good rappin’ & shit, despite tha struggle. Got a 3rd verse comin’ through, here, soundin’ like a set of bad street scenes; ouch… Ouch @ tha “empty stocking,” when it comes to “Christmas”; too sad ta hear…! My Rating: 3.2
 
 
13. “All Around The World”
Producer: Hakeem
>>> Glad there’s more energy with this one; feelin’ how tha hook sounds & how y’all wanna live it up ta escape tha negativity! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty nice with this beat; continuous energy…! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice; props fa keepin’ tha rhymes goin’…! Got mo shit comin’ with tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ like anotha good, rapid-spit verse…! Got a 4th verse comin’ through, here, soundin’ pretty nice ta hear, once again; a whole album just loaded with verses! My Rating: 4.1
 
 
14. “4 Of The Realest” feat. Geronimoe of Foolish & Insane
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> Sounds like a hyped-up beat & hook, here; definitely feelin’ tha aggressive side of tha club, here, in tha dark! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s dope; tha life of a gangsta in tha night! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse, soundin’ nice & consistent; steady movin’ with tha quality! Really feelin’ tha N.O. energy on tha 3rd verse’s delivery; props fa havin’ this collab on lock, y’all! Luv tha consistency of this 3rd verse! Put tha “blues” in ‘em! Of course, there’s still room fa a 4th verse, here…; sounds like a good lil’ verse, regardless. I feel tha Magic-like aggression in tha voice; gotta hold it down! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
15. “Why”
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> Tha energy continues, here! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s nice; just keep these dark tales comin’! Tha proper energy helps me embrace tha tracks! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s dope with how y’all come through with this dark tale of tha 5-0-4! Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ like a good lil’ verse; diggin’ tha consistency of tha rhymes & flow! Basically, tha word I’m lookin’ for to describe Black Menace iz “unstoppable”! Got tha 3rd verse goin’ on, here, dealin’ with that life “behind tha buildin’”; don’t be “stressin’,” tho! Gotta hang in there; this beat’s energy can tell you tha same! My Rating: 4.0
 
 
16. “Nigga What’s Happenin’?”
Producer: DJ Dick
>>> Mo energy & I like this energy slightly betta than tha previous joint; good hook & how focused y’all iz! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & y’all really got tha focus on lock with tha hook; can’t deny y’all passion fa this shit! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s dope with how consistent it iz with tha title; undeniable, once again! So much energy bein’ applied; no wonder why tha streetz really embrace y’all asses! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse, here & it’s aggressive af; gotta luv tha aggression! It’s literally like runnin’ a mile or trail; you gots to have tha Black Menace energy to survive!! Hearin’ tha 4th verse & damn!! “Fuck a lottery ticket”; like, y’all really have tha mind of menaces! Frfr!! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
17. “Take It To The Streets” (Insane)
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ Cash Money-like beat, just like tha 1st track sounded…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s dope with how Insane comes through with this southern voice; he Louisiana to tha bone! Luv tha consistent rhymes; glad he provided some shine on his own, here! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s dope; gotta hold it down fa these “streets”, Mr. Sane! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty dope; however, self-esteem sinkin’ with all tha “stressin’” shit? Can’t be; just keep shmokin’, like you previously stated! Mo shit comin’ through with a 3rd verse, no matter if tha track’s only 2:26 on tha length! Dope with how Insane just doesn’t stop!! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
Overall: Excellent job, y’all; y’all know what it iz! Y’all really shined on this bih, between all tha energy, all tha aggressive deliveries & how y’all came through with tha street content! Awesome job; neva stop grindin’!!
