As I keep it movin’, here goes my next review: C-Loc Presents Concentration Camp Camp III: Thug Brothas (The Album), released in 2000 on C-Loc Records, produced entirely by C-Loc & Happy Perez! Also, just a heads-up: I was ‘posed ta review this & tha next review b4 C-Murder. However, I changed tha name of tha artist from “Concentration Camp” to “C-Loc Presents Concentration Camp”. Also, for those that aren’t aware, Concentration Camp are Boo, C-Loc, Happy Perez, J-Von, Lay-Lo, Lee Tyme, Lucky Knuckles, Max Minelli & Young Bleed. Start Tyme: 5:01 PM | End Tyme: 5:50 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!

Link To Release: N/A
 
 
01. On The Wire
Wasn’t this on It’s A Gamble? >>> Yeah, tha phone, only it’s not an old phone, this tyme; it’s a more-updated phone. Iz this tha “Kentucky” thing, again? I heard tha “Florida” thing & instantly thought of “Florida” Boulevard, from BR. Okay, no Kentucky but yeah, “Chuck E. Cheese,” here… My Rating: N/A
 
 
02. “They Ain’t ‘Bout No Trouble”
>>> Sounds good with tha undaground sound of how you come through on tha mic, as well as tha production provided…! Hearin’ what you got goin’ on with tha 1st verse & it’s pretty dope, here; good shit! Luv tha hood shit you bring to this dope beat; eerie, eerie, eerie! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty hype with how you come through wit it; good shit! Luv how it sounds a lil’ humorous but nice with tha energy/southern feel! Hearin’ what you come through on tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty dope with tha content you bring, here; consistency at its finest! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it sounds like Lay-Lo, here, alternatin’ from a Max to a Von; dope idea for tha 2-Triple-0! Nice how this ends with a beat outro, here; definitely eerie & southern at its finest!! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
03. “Shit Real”
>>> Sounds pretty nice with what you bring to tha table on tha 1st verse, here; gotta keep it “real,” of course. Gotta luv how you come through fa tha south on this compilation, courtesy of tha C-Camp! Got a youngin on tha 2nd verse, here? Boosie? Am I trippin’, lol? Keepin’ this movin’ with that dude, once again; not Boosie but dude got both tha two verses on lock with their energy…! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
04. “Camp Camp”
>>> Sounds pretty intense, here, on tha hook; good shit, Loc! Tha beat’s pretty poppin’ fa tha 2000 tymes! Of course, you on tha 1st verse & you got shit poppin’, here; luv how you have buku energy on this release! Keepin’ it movin’ with tha 2nd verse, here, courtesy of tha Camp; flows pretty nicely in this mix. Some mo shit from tha 3rd verse, here; go, Max Minelli! Givin’ peeps tha “asthma attack” & shit; intense, comin’ from a then-21-year-old! Consistent rhymes; unstoppable Camp member! Luv how he goes & it starts ta end, slowly but surely…! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
05. “B Get Off Me”
>>> Sounds like an okay beat, here; decent lil’ 1st verse from you, Loc; glad you still got tha streetz on lock wit dis one…! Sounds like a silly lil’ hook with tha female but it’s still cool fa this dark undaground shit. Got Max on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit tha “Girbauds” & shit, knowin’ how ta come through like an O.G.; huh bruh…! Sounds like a good lil’ verse from Max, as he doesn’t stop channelin’ consistency! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse, here & tha Camp vibe continues; only O.G.z really appreciate shit like dis! My Rating: 4.0
 
 
06. “Outlaws”
>>> Definitely that dope shit, between tha beat & tha hook; always that “outlaw” life! It’s weird bein’ a human being that lost his innocence, not too long ago. Like, tha “outlaw” feelin’ goes wit you but you just do you, ya feel me? Hearin’ Loc on tha 1st verse & it sounds good with what he bringin’, here; no wonder why Baton Rouge luvs tha streetz! Loc iz tha answer! Now, I hear tha “say Loc, I need ta know, if they real or fake” part; feels like I heard that once before, in tha past? Anyway, with this youngin spittin’ on tha 2nd verse, it sounds aight; maybe, too young fa this track? Prolly coulda expected someone older… Either way, it looks like this turned out ta be a mixed review fa me; couldn’t tell which way I wanted ta go… Oh, a 3rd verse, here; I’ll give it more props, Loc, since you added more… My Rating: 4.0
 
 
07. “Not A Thang Change”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ voice from tha hood on tha 1st verse, here; good shit, good shit… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds cool wit how you express that only “tha weather” changes, Loc; good shit! Also, Loc, you’re on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through with dat street shit; can’t be denied, Loc! It’s literally awesome bein’ tha boss, huh, Loc? Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s pretty dope with tha southern-southern voice; can’t deny it! Didn’t realize fa a second that there was an extra dude on this; good shit/keep tha hustle up! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
08. “We Fuckin’ Tonight”
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ intro, here; nice… Hearin’ tha beat & it’s definitely nice fa an undaground-soundin’ beat…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s aight fa me; lol, questionable tasks durin’ tha “fuckin’”? Between you & tha chick on tha hook, I’ono… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse, Loc & it sounds like you’re in a great position durin’ these undaground tymes; glad you still around! Here comes tha chick on tha 2nd verse & I’ono, I’ono if I can dig her…; I don’t have no feedback, basically, except that it was a good duet. My Rating: 3.7
 
 
½tyme: Sounds like a dope compilation from tha Camp, here; good shit, fa tha most part! We’re at a 4.2 for tha average rating, currently; good shit!
 
 
09. “Real Shit”
>>> Really diggin’ this creepy, eerie beat intro & how it takes a while b4 tha 1st verse ta start!! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s Max, comin’ through wit some dope content fa tha streetz; definitely nice! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounded like a phone-call interlude or somethin’? Interestin’… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s you, Loc, comin’ through with dope street content on this beat; piggy-piggy-props…! Seemed like a nice 2nd hook/interlude part ta zone out to…; felt like those seconds were real long! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse, as I continue & it’s nice; southern greatness at its finest! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
10. “Boosie”
My preview’s one word: “Boosie”. >>> Of course, who’s on tha 1st verse? “Boosie”; gotta feel what he bringin’ to tha table with this content of tha hood…! Beat also sounds pretty nice; luv how it’s deep off in that Rouge with “Boosie”! Iz this one of tha youngest “Boosie” tracks? Sounds younger than that Youngest Of Da Camp release, despite bein’ tha same years…? My Rating: 4.4
 
 
11. “Twist It Up”
>>> Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse, Loc…; sounds like a good lil’ joint, here, shmoke & track…! Beat sounds okay fa you ta rap on, as well; I give it its props… Oh boy, that hook’s pretty dope & deep, with tha voice! “Twist it up…; twist it up, my nigga!” Great thinkin’, Loc, includin’ that eerie sing-rappin’! Oh boy, got Boosie on tha 2nd verse, too; luv how he has tha energy & focus ta do tha damn thang, here…! Keepin’ this movin’ with a total “weed”head on tha 3rd verse, here, flowin’ nicely with tha beat, as well…! Btw, I’m fulla dat (THC) vape pen, right nah! My Rating: 4.8
 
 
12. “I Got Mine”
>>> Sounds like a good beat & how you holdin’ shit down on tha 1st verse, Loc; undeniable & unstoppable! Likin’ how this transitions to Max on tha 1st verse, here, comin’ through as a Lay-Loian! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds nice with you & Max on it; keep gettin’ y’all’s! Props fa this energy & tha energy y’all applyin’ to this, especially you on tha 2nd verse, Loc! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s soundin’ more laidback with tha voice but this content’s still pretty nice… My Rating: 4.3
 
 
13. “Down South”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ beat & catchy 1st verse, here; Concentrationtastic at its finest! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like a dope one, courtesy of C-Loc luvin’ to “ride tonight!” Definitely feelin’ tha catchiness! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds good with one of tha Camp members doin’ they shit! Always hoodtastic with tha “cornbread,” ya heard me? Keepin’ it movin’ with you on tha 3rd verse, Loc, comin’ through wit mo leadership shit fa tha streetz; good shit! My Rating: 4.4
