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. Beelow “Don’t Call Me”
>>> Sounds like Mystikal to kick this off? Pretty aggressive & hype with tha beat & how this 1^st verse iz goin’…! Keepin’ this goin’ with tha hook & it’s pretty dope; yeah, Beelow really channelin’ a “Mystikal” vibe, as he says! Tha 2^nd verse iz also pretty aggressive; Beelow really in tha zone with this “Mystikal” mind! My Rating: 4.3

 

 

02. Venom “Oakside”
>>> Sounds like an okay beat & tha 1^st verse iz nice with tha grimy vocals; good goin’… Hearin’ tha hook & it str8 fa this “Oakside” reppin’; nice… Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2^nd verse & “BRC” iz always in tha buildin’ for grimy, street shit; you know! Now, hearin’ a bunch of chantin’ goin’ on, which iz endin’ tha track at tha last minute; gotta keep “representin’”! My Rating: 4.1

 

 

03. Z Man “Smoke (Skit)”
>>> Sounds like an ice cream truck or somethin’? Singin’ to tha beat’s catchy; nice lil’ skit fa tha “smoke”! My Rating: N/A

 

 

04. Venom feat. Greed “Smoke On”
>>> Luvin’ tha “smoke” beginning; gotta cough it up! Hearin’ tha hi-hats goin’ nuts & they’re pretty insane! Hearin’ tha beat in its entirety & it’s nice ta get a good vibe off of… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good fa a “smoke” anthem; get it “on”! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds anthemic, just like “Roll On”; no wonder, it’s “Smoke On”, lol. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s dope; “big blunts” iz right! Nice lil’ outro ta go with this, too; gotta get it in! My Rating: 4.4

 

 

05. Beelow “Wrong Nigga”
>>> Feelin’ tha aggression, beat & how Beelow comin’ through on tha hook; gotta let it be known, 225’s Mystikal! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & I’m feelin’ tha Mystikal-like aggression; gotta keep it up! No hatin’ in my blood wit a Mystikal vibe! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s pretty grimy; definitely gotta keep tha grime up!! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & it’s just as dope! “I go down like a hail storm”; keep hailin’ on ‘em!! My Rating: 4.3

 

 

06. Huggie “B” “Chop Chop”
>>> Definitely diggin’ how this Huggie “B” sounds, especially with this hook; “we be chop choppin’!!” You know what it iz!! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s pretty dope; gotta keep chokin’ on dat good “weed”! Sounds like a different dude on tha 2^nd part of tha 1^st verse? They’re spellin’ their name out but don’t have an ID on tha track? Either way, an okay contribution; shoulda just been tha 1^st dude, tho. Keepin’ this goin’ with anotha dude on tha 2^nd verse, here; where’s tha aggression? Just representin’, here; I really wanted more aggression, tho… Anotha dude, too? Tha 2^nd part of tha 2^nd verse; ehh…! Tha rest of this a weird mix between random rappin’ & tha aggression; confusin’ but keep on “chop choppin’,” I guess? Obsessed with tha “chop,” toward tha end, lol? My Rating: 3.9

 

 

07. Beelow “Big Ballin’”
>>> This sounds familiar; I believe this what was “Ballaholic” on tha Ballaholic release… My Current Rating: 4.2

 

 

08. Beelow “Outlaw”
>>> Nice & aggressive, on tha hook; beat dope, too…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & I’m feelin’ tha rapid rappin’; gotta keep it mov…in’! Keepin’ it movin’ with tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit hyped-up rhymes; good shit…! Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 3^rd verse & Beelow got tha Mystikalness in him, again; gotta let tha aggression out! My Rating: 4.4

 

 

09. Young Ballerz “Armageddon”
Spelled as “Young Ballers” in my previous observations of these ballerz… >>> Sounds like a calmer but more street-soundin’ beat with these G-Funk sounds… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s calmer rappin’ but it’s still good for tha streetz, basically. Hearin’ tha hook & it’s aight; just sounds like a good lil’ “Mall City” representation, basically? Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds okay with these rhymes; that scream about runnin’? That “ahhhhhh” was a lil’ cheesy, lol. Also, nice reference with “Deborah Cox,” too; glad she owned tha tymes back then! Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 3^rd verse & it’s more of these Mall City boyz comin’ through tha hood; sounds good/str8… My Rating: 3.8

 

 

¼tyme: Seems like a good lil’ compilation; hope err-body keeps it movin’! Currently, a 4.2-rated compilation; keep tha aggression & hot beats comin’ fa tha 225!

 

 

10. Ballin’ Family “Let’s Ride”
>>> Sounds like a dope beat & hook; definitely focused with tha energy, here! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & I’m really feelin’ this southern voice! Grimy street shit at its finest; can’t deny tha voice! Damn, I just realized this iz 7:31; oh boy, can I stay interested? Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s cool with tha alternatin’ voices of tha fam; gotta keep tha grimy vibes comin’…! Tha 2^nd part of tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice, with all tha spellin’ & shit; gotta keep it goin’! Rapid-rappin’, too; lots ta devour!! I’m not even ½way through tha track & I’m startin’ ta get confused at where I’m at… Everything I’m hearin’ iz pretty nice with tha rappin’ & flows; I just don’t like how there’s no transition goin’ on. Like, no more hook? Finally, a hook again at 5:58—5:58, tho?! Sounds like it’s leadin’ more into a long outro; still got 1:13 left! Luv tha continuous hype, tho, as tha 7:00 mark approaches! My Rating: 4.0

 

11. Beelow feat. Ice Gen & Redd Dawg “Shake Dem Titties”
>>> Nice “titties” anthem, just off tha 1^st few seconds, here; luvin’ tha energy on tha hook!! Also, tha beat’s pretty poppin’ fa tha clubz; gotta luv it! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from Beelow & it’s dope; keep tha energy up! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s pretty hype; let them “nipples” take tha vibe over, lol! A total tittied-out anthem, here; “titties”, stand tha fuck up, lol! Got tha 3^rd verse goin’ on, here & it’s like a regular voice comin’ through; not bad—at least tha “titties” are bein’ represented, still, lol. My Rating: 4.6

 

 

12. Smoke Dogg feat. C Sick “Act Fool”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ hype track; not bad with what’s comin’ outta tha 1^st verse, here… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like anotha good anthem; gotta “Act A Fool”! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s a regular-soundin’ verse; I guess it’s okay to just progress… Sounds like a bunch of energy bein’ applied on tha 3^rd verse, here; good shit… Also, a long beat outro, too, even fa only 3:46 on tha length. My Rating: 3.8

 

 

13. Beelow “Niggas Jockin’ Me”
>>> Sounds like a chick? I’ono what to think of this 1^st verse, except that tha beat ain’t bad, too… I’ono, not much interest from me, especially since it sounds 0.00% like Beelow! Not much interest in tha rest of this shit; gimme Beelow! My Rating: 2.6

 

 

14. Topp Mobb “Throw ‘Em Up”
>>> Sounds like an okay track; tha hook str8 & beat nice fa tha Rouge… Keepin’ this peer-jackin’ track comin’, here comes tha 1^st verse & it ain’t bad; prolly gon feel this gutta voice a lil’ betta as tha track progresses… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it ain’t bad; not much of a growth with tha voice fa me, this tyme… Keepin’ it movin’ with tha 3^rd verse & tha voice iz back to bein’ in growth mode fa me, here…; good shit, overall. My Rating: 3.7

 

 

15. Ballin’ Family “South Side Fellas”
>>> Definitely diggin’ that Art Of Noise beat sample in tha beat, here; definitely nice! Tha hook’s pretty nice; sounds like tha Baton Rouge version of Master P? Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s cool; gotta dig tha aggressive vocals! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s pretty hype; gotta dig tha consistency & aggression! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & tha hype continues; seems a lil’ long but I’m glad tha energy ain’t dyin’…! A 4^th verse, here, soundin’ like a deeper dude & tha flow bein’ slower/more laidback; still sounds good, tho. Nice acapella part of tha hook at tha end, as well; dumb! My Rating: 4.1

 

 

16. Thug Addict “Everybody Know Me”
Will it really be Beelow this tyme? >>> Good! Wait, what’s bein’ spelt? Can’t make it out but it’s catchy… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s pretty hype ova this crunk-soundin’ beat; gotta luv it! Mystikal, your friend’s here! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & tha Beelow hype continues; Beelow wants it all! Oh wait, “I’m Thug Addict,” huh? No wonder why I couldn’t figure out tha spellin’ of tha hook but now, it makes sense! “Tha T-to-tha-H-U-G-A-Double D-I-C-T!” Dumb shit!! Glad I figured out that this was Thug Addict tha whole tyme; great job reppin’ tha whole track! My Rating: 4.5

 

 

17. Beelow “Hard Times”
>>> Sounds good; hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s a rough day in tha hood wit Beelow, here… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s a lil’ sappy fa me with tha male singin’; I’ono but it’s a lil’ soft fa me. I’m not fuckin’ with tha depressin’ shit; we can rise above that feelin’! Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear; gotta keep reppin’ tha streetz…! As far as tha rest of this, it sounds like it jumps back into tha depressed feelin’; I’ono about all tha singin’ & long beat outro… My Rating: 3.4

 

 

18. Beelow feat. Skull Duggrey “Baton Rouge 2 N.O.”
My Current Rating: 4.6

 

 

½tyme: Most of tha 1^st disc sounded pretty nice; too bad some of tha Beelow-labeled tracks weren’t him. Either way, keep tha energy & aggression up!

Next disc…!

 

 

01. 2-Faced “Vengence”
>>> Luv tha aggression! Gotta represent with tha hook & 1^st verse; luv tha energy!! Luv tha “on my mind iz ‘uh-oh!’”; catchy! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s pretty dope, as this track continues; hood content & energy always make a good combination! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & this track just keeps tha catchiness goin’; good shit! My Rating: 4.2

 

 

02. Deadly Soldiers “4 Triple O”
>>> Sounds like quieter energy bein’ applied, here? Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it str8; sounds like it can be louder? Hearin’ tha hook & it aight; not much ta really say, here… Continuin’ on with tha 2^nd verse & it’s pretty nice with tha rhymes; gotta keep reppin’ tha streetz, ya feel me? Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse on this track & it aight; sounds like some dude on tha 2^nd part of it wants ta add a catchier flow? Not bad, overall… My Rating: 3.8

 

 

03. Huggie “B” “Money Can’t Change”
>>> Compared to tha other Huggie track, this sounds real sappy on tha hook; can’t fuck wit tha “money” content & singin’… Hearin’ a chick on tha 1^st verse & I’ono if I’ll feel it even more than I wanted to… Tha rest of this don’t need no feedback from me; boring & long… My Rating: 1.4

 

 

04. Chill “Paper Chasin’”
>>> Finally, a betta sound! Back to some hyped-up street shit; at least this money topic has energy & hype in it! Good beat & hook, here; keep it up! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & Chill pretty hype; gotta dig what he bringin’, here! Keepin’ this goin’ with tha 2^nd verse & it’s pretty nice; gotta keep bringin’ tha heat! My Rating: 4.1

 

 

05. Deadly Soldiers “Battle Field”
Shouldn’t tha title be a compound word? >>> Feelin’ tha street content & tha beat, here; gotta let it be known about tha “field” & tha hook! Tha 1^st verse’s pretty nice; keep reppin’, y’all! Keepin’ this thang movin’ with tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ good ta hear; keep droppin’ tha heat…! My Rating: 4.3

 

 

06. Dirty Dave “Tha Drought”
>>> Instant start with an okay hook (or, 1^st verse?); beat ain’t bad, neither. Okay, it’s tha 1^st verse; not bad with this voice, as it’s an okay track. Now, I hear tha hook b4 tha 1:00 mark & it sounds okay; transition weak? Seems like it just blended into tha next verse? Sounds okay but I’m not too-too crazy ‘bout this track, overall. Tha rest of this just bores me; barely any quality transitions from verses to hooks goin’ on… My Rating: 2.5

 

 

07. 2-Faced feat. Emperor Nero “Swamp Cowboy”
>>> Sounds like a cool lil’ track; I digz this “swamp” feelin’ & this hook! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & I’m really feelin’ tha energy in tha voice; definitely what’s up! Keepin’ this goin’ with tha 2^nd verse & it’s dope; luv tha energy in tha beat & aggressive rhymes/content! Now, with 1:00 left, iz it just tha beat? Lol, damn; long beat outro, basically… My Rating: 4.4

 

 

08. Cash “4 Tha Streets”
>>> Sounds like an okay joint; tha beat ain’t bad & tha rappin’ on tha 1^st verse aight/consistent… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds like a different dude? Either way, tha aggression & hype iz still here; keep it movin’! Keepin’ this thang movin’ with tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ good ta hear… Seemed like I really enjoyed this track but for tha most part, it’s on tha lower scale of tha 4.0’s; last minute sounds long… My Rating: 4.0

 

 

09. Beelow “Too Late”
>>> Not really feelin’ tha singin’ start fa a track labeled as Beelow’s… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s too dry fa me with this R&B singin’… Like, do I have to sit here fa a whole 5:17?? Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s a mysterious chick, again; boring with this struggle content… Tha rest of this shit seems soooooooooo longggggggg… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s a male rappin’; feelin’ tha southern style but I already had gotten too bored… My Rating: 1.2

 

 

¾tyme: Nowhere near as good as tha 1^st disc, so far; why tha mysterious R&B vibes makin’ way in here? Not feelin’ some of it but some jointz are good, at least… For Disc 2, only a 3.3 for tha average rating, so far; Beelow…!

 

 

10. Savage “Desperado”
Wonder which Savage this iz… >>> This ain’t tha Chris LeDay I know…; this random Savage sounds like a member of some group or somethin’? Decent 1^st verse & tha hook aight; nothin’ too special, here… I don’t think I need to give feedback on tha rest of this; since it’s decent, it’s basically decent. My Rating: 2.9

 

 

11. Beelow feat. Young Bleed “Thuggin’ N Da South”
Can we resurrect this release into some quality?!? >>> Good beginning part of tha intro from Young Bleed but then, from tha beginning till 0:30, it sounds like a bunch of random blah-blah… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from Bleed & he sounds dope with his 225’d street content; gotta get it in…! “Piss on your parade” iz right, Bleed! Hearin’ tha hook & even tho it’s about “Thuggin’ N Da South”, this male & female singin’ on tha hook makes it sound depressin’; not really fuckin’ wit it… Keepin’ this goin’ with Beelow on tha 2^nd verse & it cool with tha southern content; I have a feelin’ it gon get borin’, tho (4:58 on tha length)… A random female rappin’ on tha 3^rd verse, here? I’ono about all these unexpected surprises; they keep throwin’ me off… Nothin’ much ta say about her; she sounds okay for this southern representation… My Rating: 3.2

 

 

12. Huggie “B” “Ride 2 Night”
>>> Nice hyped-up feelin’ on tha beat & hook, here; how will this turn out? Tha previous Huggie joint sucked, so we’ll see this mysterious turnaround… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & tha voice ain’t really catchy; just seems like rhymes, basically. Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2^nd verse & it ain’t bad but nothin’ to really brag about… A 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit rhymes, basically; what else can I say? My Rating: 3.0

 

 

13. Beelow feat. 69 Boyz & JT Money “How We Roll”

>>> Sounds like an upbeat, 504-like vibe, here…; hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s str8… Hearin’ tha hook & it ain’t bad, here; just feels like a bunch of these jointz are too long… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & tha southern flava ain’t bad; keep on reppin’ iz all I got ta say. Keepin’ this goin’ with tha 3^rd verse & it’s nice ta collab wit non-Louisianimal, JT Money; nice flow & vibe to progress… My Rating: 3.7

 

 

14. C-Murder “Big Mouth (Skit)”
>>> C-Murder? Doesn’t sound like him on this skit… I luv how they say, “They ain’t got no ghetto pass.” In response to that, I’m so glad I have a “ghetto pass” to B.R., ya heard me? I can go anywhere in B.R. & I’m good! As far as this skit, it’s a lil’ long (2:11) & it definitely don’t sound like no C-Murder. My Rating: N/A

 

 

15. E.M.C. “Jerry Springer”
>>> I’m expectin’ a bounce song? Not exactly bounce but tha noise in tha beat pretty intense; was this mastered right? Tha noise part sounds like tha “Triggaman” but noisy… Sounds like an okay track with tha 1^st verse but this intense noise gotta go or be mastered properly! Sounds like a random hook & what’s goin’ on, here; what can I say about it? Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it aight; doesn’t seem to fit in tha Baton Rouge environment of this double-disc release, tho… Of course, a 3^rd verse on this track, as I yawn my way through tha noisy track, here; I’ono… My Rating: 2.0

 

 

16. Phunk Dawg “Twerk Baby”
Way b4 tha “Ay Bay Bay”! >>> Damn, where’s tha energy?! Why this sound like a slow, G-Funk anthem fa tha ladies? I’ono… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s such a slow track fa tha ladies; why slow? Ugh! An uncredited, male-vocal singer on tha hook? So dry & boring!! Sounds like a desperate 2^nd verse with some of tha singin’… Wait, there’s rappin’ on tha 2^nd verse, too? What an unusual blend fa this slow track! Damn, of course, a 3^rd verse! No wonder why Phunk Dawg focused more on producin’? This R&B’d rap ain’t fa him, thank God! Why tha hell did that “monkey” part sound off-beat at 3:43? Ugh…! My Rating: 1.6

 

 

17. II Tight “Let Her Go”
Also spelled “2 Tight”. >>> Good energy in tha beat but nothin’ too-too special fa me… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it aight; not too crazy about this voice, tho… Hearin’ tha hook & it aight; can’t really say much about it, tho. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds aight with this fast rappin’ & beat; I think most of my interest dried up with this release, tho. Mo shit comin’, here, with tha 3^rd verse; just anotha way ta get through tha energetic beat, basically… My Rating: 3.6

 

 

18. 2-Faced “Same Time”
>>> Sounds like anotha hyped-up beat; pretty nice, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it ain’t bad; I can dig it, for tha most part… I don’t get how one rapper iz on tha ID but there’s multiple rappers on tha track… Like, why? Tha rest of this seems random; I think I had enough, tho it ain’t bad…! My Rating: 3.1

 

 

Overall: God, tha 2^nd disc dragged & was rough ta get through! Too many vibes didn’t match up to tha hype of Beelow or tha 1^st disc! Now, lemme get on to tha rest of my schedule…!

Review #1,831: Beelow "Ballin' 4 Billions"

Reviewed on 10.17.2019 (Review #1,831)

As my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon continues, here goes my next review: Beelow Ballin’ 4 Billions, released in 1999 on Private I Records & Ballin’ Music Group; BR, stand up!! Start Time: 2:17 PM | End Time: 3:39 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!
