Review #1,847: Fade "7 Years"

Reviewed on 10.20.2019 (Review #1,847)

My 1,847^th review: Fade 7 Years, released in 1999 on Disturb The Peace Records & was produced by Fade & Hooty Hoo! What do we got, here, outta Alexandria…? Start Time: 5:08 PM | End Time: 6:16 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. “Who’s The Man”
>>> Likin’ this beat start…; sounds like a mix between N’awlinz & Miami beats, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty dope, as far as tha fast vibes… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice; all about who da “man” iz! Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice ova these 120 BPM beats…; good shit…! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s nice, as well… “And, No Limit got soldiers…;” no duh, lol… My Rating: 4.0

02. “Check Da Clout”
>>> A slower, regular-soundin’ vibe, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ okay, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it ain’t bad; kinda diggin’ tha lil’ singin’, in tha background, singin’ tha title part… Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ okay; halfway done wit this joint… Got tha 3^rd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ nice; feelin’ tha aggression, this time… My Rating: 3.6

03. “Same Circle”
>>> Much betta, darker-soundin’ production, here… Tha 1^st verse’s soundin’ nice ta hear, here; not bad… Tha hook’s pretty nice; feelin’ it fa a paranoid-soundin’ track… Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ pretty nice, as well; great job wit these rhymes ova this beat… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s pretty nice, here; feelin’ tha guttaness…! My Rating: 4.3

04. “Wanna Ride”
>>> Tha beat sounds okay, here, but I feel like it gon remake Simply Red (“Holding Back The Years”), on tha hook…? Sounds like a lil’ bit of that vibe in tha beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ like an okay verse… Hearin’ tha hook and even tho tha beat reminded me of tha slow ‘80s song, I don’t hear that song sampled in this… As far as tha hook, it kinda blends in wit tha verses… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it ain’t too bad, here; sounds okay… Tha 3^rd verse iz pretty nice, here; feelin’ tha aggression, except how tha “weed have [you] trippin’.” With a dead brother, I get through tha “trippin’” and consider it trippy… I try ta have fun wit my highs than sad vibes… I try and stay away from paranoia or depressin’ vibes… Got an outro, here; not bad… Keep stayin’ motivated fa tha future…!

Now, I’m strong to where I mainly care about myself… Most people turn out ta be a “foe,” while tha “friend” iz hard ta find… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and why was a word censored? Either way, sounds okay wit this sad-sackin’ verse… My Rating: 3.9

06. “Da Hell Wit Cha”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ dark vibe, in tha beat… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice; great job wit tha aggression… Hearin’ tha hook and I’m diggin’ this “ashes” shit; great job… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and y’all got this southern shit on lock… Likin’ tha spellin’ of “F-A-D-E,” toward tha end of tha verse; you know what it iz…! Sounds like a good lil’ 3^rd verse goin’ on, here; southernness at its finest…! My Rating: 4.0

07. Intromercial
>>> When I hear certain sound effects in a skit/interlude/“intromercial,” I think of tha scene bein’ inside of a car… Great job wit how this sounds, str8 from tha hood… Also, tha beat’s startin’, here…; sounds pretty good, based off this start… My Rating: N/A

08. “Broke The Rules Of The Game”
>>> As we proceed, this sounds nice; feelin’ tha aggression on tha 1^st verse! Dark-soundin’ rhymes at its finest! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s nice!

Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice, as well; good shit… Got tha 3^rd verse goin’ on, here, on a mission ta get ahead; I feel dat… Got tha 4^th verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ good wit tha attitude you got on tha track… My Rating: 4.2

11. “My Birds Fly”
>>> Got tha beat goin’ on, here & it sounds nice; dat undaground, N’awlinz, Louisiana sound, here! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and yeah, “My homie did not do a thang…;” I feel dat line. I can relate to it ‘cause in my case, no1 got hurt & anything lost can get replaced; nothing was lost! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s soundin’ like a sad-soundin’ topic; I’ono, now… Don’t wanna be depressed when I hear music, so we’ll see how this continues… Yeah, I feel tha “I fall deep in this black hole…” part; I hit rock bottom, earlier this year. I gained strength throughout tha times & now, I’m slowly gettin’ back on track! My Rating: 3.7

12. 1-800-Skandalous
>>> Let’s hear this phone call game… Great job exposin’ these “snitches;” I’m exposin’ on Wednesday, wit my new music video comin’! It’s all about what I was involved in; my exposin’ just exposes what they embrace. It’s funny but it’s real; can’t wait for tha world ta see…! My Rating: N/A

13. “Skandalous”

>>> A slow, calm-soundin’ rap vibe, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s not bad, here… Tha hook has a nice female singin’; I’m feelin’ her singin’, as well as y’all rappin’, too. It’s like y’all both in tha background, at times, even tho her singin’ iz on top of y’all… Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ pretty nice; feelin’ what y’all spittin’, here… Got tha 3^rd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ good fa tha streetz; good shit… My Rating: 4.0

14. “6 More Zeros”

My Rating: 4.1

15. “My Life”
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ undaground beat, here… Hearin’ tha hook from tha jump and it sounds a lil’ catchy… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and they said, “I been around since 1985…;” they only 13, here? Can’t be… Active in tha music biz that long? Where’s tha older content? I’ono… Either way, a nice lil’ verse… Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ nice, as well… Got tha 3^rd verse, here, keepin’ this track goin’; nothin’ else ta say… My Rating: 3.8

>>> Sounds like a hypnotizin’, zoned-out beat/intro, here; gotta luv it! Feelin’ tha hidden aggression in tha perspective, based off of how y’all puttin’ it down…! Tha lil’ rhyme toward tha end’s pretty dope; “lyrical, legendary!” My Rating: N/A

02. “$ Signs”
>>> Quiet beat start wit some hot-soundin’ keys… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ like a preach/journal; good shit… Hearin’ tha hook and it aight; kinda calm but good advice fa tha “$!” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it sounds a lil’ betta wit tha flow, here; keep it goin’… My Rating: 3.8

03. “Parlay, Parlay”
>>> Sounds a lil’ cheesy wit this title; beat sounds basic, as well… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and tha aggression’s here but tha flow sounds a lil’ confusin’. Like, it sounds like it can be hyped, angry but cheesy? Just sounds like it’s all ova tha place… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and…, ehh…, it aight, I guess? My Rating: 2.5

04. “Welcome To The Ghetto”
>>> A betta-soundin’ beat ta lay back to, durin’ these ‘90s… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds semi-good… I still feel like tha flow everywhere, at times… A female singin’ on tha hook, here; not bad… I feel what she’s singin’ about (“tha ghetto”)… Sounds like a randomly-soundin’ 2^nd verse, as far as tha flow/energy; I’ll give it some props, I guess… Tha 3^rd verse ain’t too bad; lol @ that voice/flow at tha end of tha verse! “Roam (roam)!” “Home (home)!” My Rating: 4.0

05. “Down To Ride”
>>> Beat sounds good, fa anotha laidback, G-Funk sound… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and tha aggression/energy’s up, once again…! Random rapid flowin’, as well; weird… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds like it’s a nice representation fa this “ride” y’all preach ‘bout… Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty aggressive; diggin’ tha “swamp” part, toward tha end of tha verse… “Life iz like a Broadway play,” accordin’ to tha 3^rd verse, here; nice rhymes, this time…! My Rating: 4.1

07. “Dirty South”
>>> Anotha good lil’ laidback beat, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it aight; can’t say much… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and, at least y’all got tha swishaz ta help y’all minds out… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it cool, as well; gotta keep it goin’…! Tha rest of what’s goin’ on wit tha rappin’ sounds good, as well; good job. My Rating: 4.0

½time: Kinda weird wit some of tha flows and aggression levels but for a 3.8-rated CD, I guess things are goin’ over well… Feelin’ tha southern beats and how y’all hold it down fa tha Alexand!

08. “Who Am I”
>>> Cool lil’ undaground, dark beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds okay; it’s cool, even with tha energetic flow… Tha hook sounds like somethin’ nice, as well; gotta tell ‘em “who” y’all are! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice… Got tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ good; can’t say much… I like tha “workin’ wit tha P-O-U-N-D” part; good job…! My Rating: 4.1

09. “Days Of Our Lives”
>>> Beat sounds cool; sounds like a preachin’ intro… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and tha flow kinda dry/spoken-like…? Good street content, tho… Gotta admit it! “Gettin’ high off marijuana…;” fuckin’ right! Frfr! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s respected; I get it and it str8… “I’mma grip my dick, I’mma muthafuckin’ ‘G’;” gots to, on tha 2^nd verse! Recyclin’ tha “Time Is Revealing” quote, ironically, toward tha end of tha 1^st part of tha 2^nd verse… Hearin’ tha 2^nd part of tha 2^nd verse and I’m diggin’ tha “P-O-U-N-D” part, once again; good shit… Pretty nice/rapid rhymes, toward tha near-end of this track…! Good job wit this one, overall…! My Rating: 4.2

10. “Represent Your Side”
>>> Beat sounds pretty intense and fast, quietly, in tha background…! Sounds like tha typical bounce sample (“Triggaman”); cool shit! Tha 1^st verse’s soundin’ nice, too; great job wit tha reppin’, once again! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty dope; likin’ tha R&B male, as well as tha reppin’…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice wit what y’all got goin’ on, here! Consistent rhymes! Dude on tha 3^rd verse loaded, as well as lovin’ to get loaded; great job!! My Rating: 4.5

Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty good; what an attitude! “You nothin’-ass bitch;” ouch! I agree! “Which one of these bitches gon pay tha fuckin’ way?” Exactly what I say (not exactly “bitches”) when I feel like who gon be there fa me when I generate more success? I’m already seein’ some of my so-called people I cared about turn fake on me. It’s crazy how tha world works! Nice @ tha R&B singer singin’, here! Almost sounds like a siren wit their constant singin’/vocalizin’…! My Rating: 4.3

12. “Habits”
>>> Good hook; “get high and bang Screw” sounds like a great plan! Tha 1^st verse’s soundin’ good; anotha laidback, gangsta-soundin’ beat…! “Nut exploded, all over her pretty brown skin;” lol, great way ta express it! Sounds like tha “Mr. Player” track I just heard… My Rating: 4.1

13. “Murder Me”
>>> Sounds like an anthemic, gangsta-soundin’ beat; can’t wait ta hear tha rhymes…! Tha 1^st verse’s pretty nice; too bad “tha weed got [you] trippin’!” Gotta think positive and let tha positivity outshine tha expected paranoia! Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds cool… Anotha nicely-collaborated singin’ hook from an R&B singer, too! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, here & it sounds good; let’s keep it goin’… Tha 3^rd verse iz pretty dope, here! “An erection got you trapped in a yeast infection,” huh? What a way to rhyme those two words!! My Rating: 3.7

14. Outro

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 and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Ready II Die

>>> Lol, just a five-second intro…; get ready fa dis gangsta shit! My Rating: N/A

02. “Mass Murder”
>>> Feelin’ tha beat, as it’s undaground and jammin’, at tha same time. Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and you got this shit on lock! Feelin’ how you holdin’ tha south down! Tha Xandria! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty anthemic about tha “shot!” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and you have tha consistent, gangsta rhymes on lock, here! Definitely diggin’ what you bringin’ to tha table! Tight, acapella shit from 2:27 – 2:31! Tha 3^rd verse pretty gutta, too; “it just won’t stop!” My Rating: 4.5

03. “Crunk”

Yeah! >>> Despite tha title, it’s laidback, here, but I’m feelin’ it! Nice lil’ slow beat throughout tha track, here, and tha 1^st verse’s pretty nice! Feelin’ how it almost sounds like you deliverin’ a paranoid-type flow, here, with tha lyrics! Even down to tha hook: I’m diggin’ it, despite it bein’ so opposite of “crunk,” lol! Really diggin’ it! I luv bein’ “crunk,” I luv bein’ “high,” I luv bein’ anything positive! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice ta hear, too… Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice, too! “What chu gon do when tha weed run out?” I know, right? You know how it be when you have a stressful job! Gotta shmoke in moderation! How’d I go nine dayz without, so far? Dem reviewz, lol! Still, workin’ six dayz a week, you need sum’n, sum’n!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3^rd verse and “five blunts.” That sounds nice but nothin’ like chillin’ wit this 49-year-old chick I know! We shmoked 6 ½ bowls on August 18, in honor of my boy, Percy Keith’s birthday (Baton Rouge rapper)!! Undeniable!! I think she shmoked one bowl more than me ‘cause I had a headache that day!! Yeah, I’m outdone, at times! Great job wit tha verse, tho! My Rating: 4.7

04. Without Sin

[No preview due to it played without me knowin’…] >>> Nice; great way ta lead inta “No Love”!! My Rating: N/A

½time: Excellent, dark, gangsta release, here! A 4.6-rated tape, so far!! Gotta luv how you handle tha tracks!! You know what I be diggin’, ya dig?!

05. “No Love”

>>> “Love” tha beginning with tha singin’ of tha title!! I remember radio-editin’ this! Definitely luvin’ tha dark beat, here!! Tha 1^st verse’s jammin’; makes me miss my radio show! Tha dark vibe! Tha dark station!! Can’t believe it’s been over four years!! Anotha rapper like Busta Rhymes, strictly hooked on dat “Courvoisier!!” Lol!! Tha actual hook sounds decent, here; feelin’ tha uncredited singer! Tha 2^nd verse’s nice; crazy wit tha “J-O-B!” Sometimes, it always makes me think, I wish I had my freedom back, instead of tha “J-O-B!” We’ll let time tell dat! My Rating: 4.6

06. “So Real”
>>> Beat’s nice and laidback; gotta feel it! These “rules” remind me of Biggie or somethin’; keep it goin’ wit tha 1^st verse! Tha hook’s catchy with tha singer, once again, holdin’ shit down! When I hear or see tha word, “Real,” I always think of my ex-connect, DJ B-“Real!” Always miss him every fuckin’ day and wish he would unblock me/reconnect wit me, already!! Anyway, keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, and it’s soundin’ nice, too… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3^rd verse and it’s soundin’ nice, as well; undeniable…! My Rating: 4.4

07. “Dream Of Death”

It’s sad how ever since my brother died, last year, this iz sadly what goes through my mind, especially while high! Time’s flyin’!! I’m fuckin’ 28!! >>> I can agree with my paranoia and tha vibe in tha beat, here! Definitely sounds nice and dark! Gotta luv how tha 1^st verse sounds! Definitely feelin’ your “drug dealers” “reality” that you be dealin’ with! I wish I was high reviewin’ this! I’m shmokin’ wit a chick 2morrow in 24 hours & 4 minutes, lol (7:05 PM)! I’m just in a hurry ta get these reviewz done while I work six dayz a week and do other shit, too (playlists, uploads, etc.)! Hook’s just a beat; definitely feelin’ it!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds like an uncredited feature? Either way, definitely excellent with how it sounds!! “Little does he know…;” excellent emotion at 2:38!!! Diggin’ this long-ass verse!! So glad it’s long and doesn’t end, too! This that quality shit that’s long! Like, really? It’s 6:03? Doesn’t seem like it!! My Rating: 4.8

08. “Breakdown”

>>> Back to tha laidback shit and I’m definitely feelin’ this slow hook! Definitely dat quality shit while high, ya know?! “Picture me paranoid;” excellent way ta describe tha 1^st verse!! Would I be afraid of tha clowns that are out, now? My move: Just keep it movin’! Don’t worry ‘bout shiiiiiit!! Only one verse? Really held it down fa only one!! My Rating: 4.3

Overall: Ain’t expect it ta end so fast, due to I thought there was anotha track, lol! But, definitely one of tha best releases I’ve reviewed recently, outta my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon!! Luved tha dark vibes, tha intense shit goin’ on, tha rhymes you brought to tha table & everythang else! Great job, Doobie Smoov! I know there’s anotha CD/tape of yours in my marathon, during tha ‘90s! Can’t wait ta review it! I know you still grindin’; keep it up!!

Review #1,248: Doobie Smoov "Get Blowed"

Reviewed on 1.31.2013 (Review #1,248)

Tha reviewz are rollin’ on, non-stop! This next one iz a ‘90s rapper; I have a feelin’ he’ll get in touch wit me soon ‘cause lots of ‘90s rappers from Louisiana are discoverin’ me! Now wit Smoov Moov Media Group, here’s Doobie Smoov—outta dat Alexandria—Get Blowed; very anticipated fa dis!!! Start Time: 10:53 AM | End Time: 11:54 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 use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Intro

Let’s kick this ma’fukka off!! >>> Sounds pretty hot for an intro beat, courtesy of an unknown producer, lol! My Rating: N/A

02. “Throwed 16” Feat. T.Y.P. & Big Mal

Bobby Staxz on tha beat; let’s hear this collab! >>> Beat sounds like a regular production of today, which could be better—more Louisiana, I should say! But, these rhymes on tha 1^st verse sounds good, can’t complain… Tha 2^nd dude on this sounds okay; not bad… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse, and it sounds like this dude’s “on tha grind,” as he says. This iz startin’ ta be kinda mainstreamish… A singer on tha 4^th part? Flow’s okay, but I’m scared some a-tune might come out… However, I did like that it ended wit tha title. My Rating: 3.7

03. “Get Blowed”

Title track; Rouge 5 doin’ tha beat, here… >>> Sounds like nice music fa tha unknown; nice start, feelin’ like a ‘90s rapper once again! Definitely likin’ tha 1^st verse, and tha hook’s pretty nice; gotta “get blowed,” ya dig?! Who doesn’t? Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ good, too, strictly soundin’ tha way I want you to sound! Keep that undaground shit alive!! My Rating: 4.4

04. “No Mo”

Anotha Rouge 5 beat! >>> Likin’ tha beat start and this undaground atmosphere! Sounds like a good 1^st verse; tha fear of “runnin’ outta money!” I like how tha hook’s about not “runnin’ from tha police no mo;” good shit! Tha beat’s nice and quiet wit not much goin’ on; it doesn’t have ta be tha tightest beat in tha world ta catch attention ‘cause it’s catchin’ lots of attention, here! Sometimes, you sound a lil’ like Young Bleed on this track; I’m diggin’ it! Fat Pat-soundin’ 2^nd verse? Has a Texas voice/feel to it, and I’m feelin’ it, once again!! My Rating: 4.5

05. “Still Smoking” Feat. Big Hawk, Big Pokey & DJ Michael 5000 Watts

Rouge 5 beat! H-Town in tha buildin’; this should be interestin’… >>> Wow, sounds like a nice revival fa H-Town wit tha Mike Watts beginning! Good shit in tha 1^st verse; reppin’ nicely, from H-Town ta tha Boot! Tha hook sounds nice; gotta luv anything ‘bout “smoking,” ya heard me?! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good wit this interestin’ voice; undaground at its finest!! Big Pokey on tha 3^rd verse? Sounds great for a collaboration!! I know Mon Mack, my boy outta Baton Rouge, iz cool wit Big Pokey, too… My Rating: 4.6

06. “Lift Weight” Feat. E.S.G. & Kevin Gates

Rouge 5…; looks like an anticipatin’ collaboration, once again, from H-Town to tha Boot! >>> Very nice beat, here!! Tha hook’s real interestin’ wit how it sounds; good-ass shit!! Startin’ wit E.S.G. on tha 1^st verse; sounds real nice ta hear him, once again! Seems like he neva disappoints; always holdin’ down tha streetz!! Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I discovered him; where’d tha time go??? Here’s you on tha 2^nd verse and it sounds like you got an H-Town blend in your voice, here; figures, you can camouflage into anything on tha track! That’s a plus! We got Kevin Gates on tha 3^rd verse, and this iz more like it fa him! I know he’s been attemptin’ to capture a mainstream audience wit his new music, but this sounds like tha undaground Gates that I knew!! Real nice rhymes, consistently! However, he jacked one of Nu$$ie’s songs or somethin’ wit tha “rocket launcher” part; went on for a few lines, but it fits this undaground environment! My Rating: 4.7

½time: Definitely feelin’ this CD, so far!! Of course, if I purchased it, you know it had ta be worth my money!! Lots of undaground vibes on this CD; major props fa it!!! So far, tha CD rating’s at a 4.4!!!!

07. “Drug Game”

Rouge-to-tha-5 on tha B-to-tha-E-to-tha-A-to-tha-T!! >>> Nice beginning; glad you’re not in a sellout perspective fa dat 2012!! Nice job wit tha 1^st verse; you deliverin’ nothin’ but dat G-shit fa tha streetz!! Fuck all those mainstream, soft-ass rappers! You got a voice that’s still goin’ strong, no matter how old you are! You’re prolly at a key age of 32 – 37, right now; ain’t nothin’ wrong wit dat age range ‘cause tha people that fuck wit me at that age are usually legends!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds pretty good, too; keep spittin’, keep preachin’, keep doin’ you!! Tha 3^rd verse sounds real nice, too; talk about dat real-life shit, especially gettin’ “in tha car!” My Rating: 4.3

08. “Jig Bow” Feat. Big Mal & Bay Bay Ambassador

Bobby Staxz beat. A Bay Bay in tha buildin’, lol… >>> Nice intro; great shit from tha Bay Bay!! Ehh, not that mainstream shit on tha 1^st verse! Neva mention “swag!!” E.S.G., where are you? Tha hook sounds okay for a club song, but it’s nothin’ strong or anythang… Tha 2^nd verse sounds too mainstreamish wit tha voice; not really into these lyrics too much… Finally, better lyrics in tha 3^rd verse about tha “parish.” My Rating: 3.1

09. “#1smelllikeaPound”

Rouge 5 beat; I like this title, lol! >>> Yes, back to tha undaground shit again!! Feelin’ this hook; I feel like I’m in tha ‘90s by hearin’ this!! I like tha hidden bounce bassline in tha background, too! Also, likin’ your rappin’ and fast style on tha 1^st verse, here; keep it up!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good to listen to, too! Smellin’ “like a pound” iz tha best way ta feel, ya feel me? *Goes and sniffs Doobie Smoov ta get a high, lol!* Tha 3^rd verse sounds good; a lil’ shorter, but you providin’ dat kush cologne to tha Gs, once again! My Rating: 4.4

10. “Out Of My Nose” Feat. Big Mal

Rouge 5 production; let’s hear this kinda title… >>> So far, a good intro; we’ll see how this kinda track prevails… Okay, tha 1^st verse sounds like it’s tha ‘90s, here; nice job… Even likin’ Mal on tha hook; anotha song about tha album’s title (Get Blowed)!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too; who wouldn’t wanna get high wit you, Doobie? Would luv to kick it wit chu one day, bruh! Tha 3^rd verse sounds good, too, keepin’ this high shit goin’!! And, a lil’ extra part from Mal toward tha end; sniff, sniff, sniff!! My Rating: 4.5

11. “Don’t Test Me”

Rouge 5 track, again! >>> Sounds like a good album cut, for a start… Beat’s nice and quiet, focusin’ on your rhymes… Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ good, too, keepin’ tha shit goin’. Oh yea, tha hook sounds pretty nice wit intimidatin’ people; how can anyone mess wit you tha wrong way, Smoov? Good shit comin’ outta tha 3^rd verse, too; what else can I say ‘bout this track? My Rating: 4.2

12. “Say What” Feat. Pauleone Da Darkchild

Endin’ it wit a Rouge 5 beat; lookin’ forward to this feature! >>> Nice beat; I’m likin’ tha hook wit this, “say what? Fuck-nigga, say what (say what?)?,” shit… Good shit comin’ outta tha 1^st verse; sounds like you’re havin’ a party on this beat, but intimidatin’ tha otha dude hatin’! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too, lurin’ tha enemies to “tha Boot!” Yea, Darkchild comin’ through on tha 3^rd verse, “Louisiana style;” gotta include “Louisiana” in tha “style!!” He sounds good—nice and consistent wit dis shit!! He ain’t stoppin’; hope he has a great future wit dis rap shit!! Holla at me!! My Rating: 4.3

Overall: Well, this was a real good CD that I enjoyed a whole lot!! Except for two songs, this CD iz tha perfect example of a quintessential, undaground album of tha 2010s generation!! Yes, I said, “album,” not no dumb ‘mixtape!!’ Keep up tha great work, Smoov!! Keep thinkin’ undaground ‘cause peeps like me gon keep showin’ you respect!!

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): http://www.datpiff.com/ATOWN_BALLAZ_ATB_GANG__NOT_GIRL_NOT_BOY.m90785.html


01. “A-Town B Ballin’”
LOL, what a nice way ta start thangz off! It’s pretty catchy wit tha R&B hook… Sounds like some (Not Boy)-type shit in tha 1st verse here; good rappin’! Tha 2nd verse sounds like some good, fast rappin’! Pretty good here… Tha Captain’s on tha 3rd verse here and tha fast rappin’ iz helpin’ here; catchy shit! Even a 4th verse here from him and it sounds like dat fast-rapped ending from one of tha other songs I heard before!! Actually, I think it iz dat same part ‘cause I heard tha “pop a pill” shit; interestin’ resurrection! My Current Rating: 4.4


02. “Ride In Tha City”
LOL, it’s #2 again on anotha CD, lol! I’m likin’ tha beginning here wit tha beat; nice and smooth here! Real nice-soundin’ hook here! Tha 1st verse sounds good. Erk (in his letter response) was tellin’ me some of his material was like 10 years old; iz this shit near dat old? It sounds kinda old… Neva mind, that GARBAGE “turn my swag on” quote on tha beginning of tha 2nd verse, smh… LOL @ this 2nd verse; sounds like they’re really young but I think it’s tha Captain. Tha 3rd verse’s keepin’ dat 90’s vibe goin’ here… My Current Rating: 4.5


03. “Alexandria ‘Bout 2 Clown”
Shit, yea!! Good beat start and yea, where “A-Town” started!! I like tha “A-L-E-X-A-N-D-R-I-A” spellin’ in tha hook too; catchy-ass shit!! Sounds like tha (Not Boy$) in tha 1st verse here; good shit to tha fullest!! It’s all about keepin’ dat 318 motivation up!! Tha Captain’s on tha 2nd verse here and yea, he was 36 at tha time since it was a year ago… Consistent shit; he has a GR8 voice fa dis undaground shit!! “Alexandria” has a future!! Tha 3rd verse iz more of dat Not Boy$-type shit; good shit, especially tha “hit like thunder” shit at tha end! Tha Captain’s on tha end here or betta yet, sounds like a 4th verse! Very quick rappin’ and sounds REAL NICE!! My Current Rating: 4.7


04. “In A-Town, It Go Up”
Looks like a newer song fa me; I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’!! >>> Tha beat sounds kinda R&Bish at first… Okay, okay! I’m feelin’ tha fastness of tha 1st verse here!! VERY, VERY CONSISTENT 1ST VERSE HERE!!! LOL, where’s tha hook? Oh, I notice it now…; tha fast-ass flow iz so consistent ta where it almost sounds like a whole verse, lol!! Tha 2nd verse’s just REAL tight once again!!! Tha 3rd verse iz ALSO doin’ tha damn thang!!! Tha rappin’ took a break at 2:50? There’s still at least two minutes left! Okay, a repeat of tha hook and a lil’ long-type outro here… LOL, had ta have tha hook end tha song! My Rating: 4.7


05. “These A-Town Streets”
Now, “A-Town” iz in every title, lol!! Just like tha last review wit “Havenot” bein’ in every title; let’s see what’s good wit dis!! >>> Okay, sounds like a screwed beat; feelin’ it! Anotha R&B hook? I dunno about hearin’ these kinda hook so many times… It’s cool though fa this song; real shit… Tha 1st verse has real shit goin’ on here; GR8 representation of tha 318! Tha 2nd verse sounds real gutta wit tha shit here; nice job wit holdin’ it down to tha fullest!! LOL, I thought tha start to tha 3rd verse said, “If you in Scranton,” which Scranton iz tha city I’m near, lol!! DEFINITELY a GR8 verse though!! My Rating: 4.5


06. “A-Town 2 H-Town: Throw Yo Hands Up”
Anthematic title here; let’s hear what’s good!! >>> Okay, sounds a lil’ like Pac in tha beginning of tha 1st verse so iz this Erk? Sounds pretty tight and tha beat’s pretty hot here for tha South!! Damn, this 1st verse’s REAL, REAL consistent; gotta LUV it!!! LOL, did two verses just go by? Didn’t realize ‘cause tha beat’s so consistent (which doesn’t change that much) to where I can’t tell where tha hook comes in; good shit!! Tha 3rd verse iz also keepin’ this shit street, gutta, gangsta, etc. to tha fullest!!! My Rating: 4.7


07. “Thug Song”
Good, old-soundin’ production and tha hook’s cool; hood shit to tha fullest!! Tha 1st verse’s gangsta at its finest!! Tha 2nd verse iz REALLY what’s up wit tha fast-ass rappin’!!! Tha Captain’s on tha 3rd verse here and this song iz different: “play a thug song, not a club song” when it comes ta tha DJ. Nice job wit tha verse and makin’ this shit sound catchy! My Current Rating: 4.3


08. “A Balla Gottem”
Okay, tha beat’s DEFINITELY tight here and it sounds NICE wit tha way Erk’s handlin’ tha hook!! Real shit bein’ spit in tha 1st verse; good thing he was neva around for tha bullshit that’s out now!! Oh, here comes tha Captain on tha 2nd verse, doin’ tha damn thang… Pretty good verse right there, ya dig? What’ll come outta tha 3rd verse? I believe it’s Erk again, doin’ his thang wit his GR8 “blowin’ big killa” rhymes! Now, tha Captain hopped onto tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse here, wit some good “ridin’” rhymes. LOL, why iz there a lot of silence at tha end? My Current Rating: 4.5


09. “South Coast”
Let’s see what’s good wit tha “South Coast” here… >>> Feelin’ tha beat and tha Southern feel!! This shit DEFINITELY sounds 90’s ta me wit how it’s bein’ delivered; DEFINITE plus!!! Tha content’s DEFINITELY a plus too!! STELLAR VERSES HERE!!! ALL tha verses are DEFINITELY called for here, ya heard me?!? My Rating: 4.7


½time: I knew a bunch of tha songs but tha new songs fa me are DEFINITELY REAL TIGHT!!! Tha average CD rating iz again back up at 4.6!!!!!


10. “My Mic”
Looks like a strong title; how will it go as far as y’all A-Town boyz? >>> Tha beat’s cool and tha 1st verse has some good shit goin’ on here… Tha hook sounds pretty strong; gotta luv tha power of tha “mic,” ya heard me?!? I like how there’s a lotta luv bein’ shown here when it comes ta rappin’ dis track; it’s ALL about tha South!! My Rating: 4.3


11. “Tell Me Why”
What’ll come outta this? >>> Okay-soundin’ beat; sounds like not much iz goin’ on… Tha beginning’s aight wit tha (Not Girl$) helpin’ out on tha hook and tha 1st verse’s pretty serious wit tha content. Nice job from tha Captain! Tha 2nd verse sounds like tha content iz continuin’ when it comes ta all tha street shit goin’ on! Tha Captain’s on tha 3rd verse here and he’s keepin’ it real here! My Rating: 3.9


12. “On My Grind”
That’s what it’s all about! >>> Cool beat start here… Tha hook iz DEFINITELY a GR8 step fa motivation!! Tha 1st verse sounds like it’s all about survival and just continuin’ ta “grind!” Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good; mo hot shit here… Let’s see what tha 3rd verse has ta offer… Okay, feelin’ this rhymin’! Oh, a 4th verse here and it’s sounds good! Nice way ta end tha song! My Rating: 4.3


13. “Who Tha Realest Nigga You Kno”
It’s really “est”, not “ist”. Anyway, this looks like it gon be tight!! >>> Okay, nice beat here and tha Captain’s doin’ tha damn thang wit makin’ tha hook soundin’ REAL good!! He’s on tha 1st verse and it’s all about tha “real” shit to tha fullest!! Definitely a nice job on tha 1st verse and I look forward ta hearin’ tha rest of this!! Tha 2nd verse sounds kinda low on tha voice; what I can hear iz pretty good… Same thing wit tha 3rd verse here and it’s soundin’ good too… My Rating: 4.5


14. “Rock Yo Boat”
LOL @ this title; what’ll happen? >>> Kinda low on tha voice here but it sounds like tha Captain’s doin’ a nice job wit tha hook as well as someone else helpin’ out… Tha Captain’s on tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ good; nice job… Tha 2nd verse sounds kinda low too… Good collaboration here, includin’ tha 3rd verse, which was also low… My Rating: 4.0


15. “Court Cases”
Strong title; lookin’ forward! >>> Now, it’s louder, lol? Although it might be Erk, I’m still not likin’ tha near-Pac sound… Good lyrics (of course) but not feelin’ tha way this sounds… My Rating: 3.5


16. “Break Thru”
Let’s see what y’all got here… >>> Tha beginning doesn’t anticipate me… Tha R&B singin’ here’s not that special for me… Verses aren’t dat bad but I don’t like how tha hook’s sung; it does have tha good content though. My Rating: 3.6


17. “72 Cookies”
Interestin’ title here; I wanna hear what’s goin’ on!! >>> Thought tha beat was gonna make this CD sound sader but it sounds pretty catchy wit how tha hook’s delivered! Tha 1st verse sounds good wit tha shit goin’ on…; real shit. Tha 2nd verse iz all about “placin’ an order;” good job here… Tha 3rd verse sounds pretty good; catchy shit. There’s even a 4th verse and it’s tha Captain, doin’ his thang as always! My Rating: 4.2


18. “Hoe Niggaz”
Strong attitude on tha title so let’s see what’s good wit tha song… >>> Sounds like some knockin’ on tha door or somethin’ in tha beginning but I believe it’s tha beat… Okay, tha Captain’s on tha hook and it’s tight; dat REAL tight shit here!! Tha 2nd verse sounds like it’s contributin’ pretty good on tha track… Ooh, tha Captain’s on tha 3rd verse and I’m feelin’ tha shit ‘cause he has tha voice dat really be holdin’ thangz down!! My Rating: 4.4


19. “In Tha Kitchen 2”
Part 2, lol? What do we got here? >>> I like tha intro, which has me more anticipated… Okay, tha hook has good shit ta offer! Tha 1st verse sounds betta here; I like how tha beat’s more fixed ta make tha track sound good! Tha 2nd verse has a LOT of GR8 content here when it comes ta servin’ fa tha streetz!! Same thang wit tha 3rd verse; feelin’ good wit dis shit right chea!! My Rating: 4.4


Overall: Came through wit dat HOT SHYT once again, ya heard me?!? NICE JOB!!! Keep up tha REAL GR8 work for tha future and once again, FREE ERK!!!!!
