Keepin’
these reviewz goin’ with Alexandria’s
Amir Southern
Propaganda, released in 1999 on Devious Records! Start Time: 1:16 PM | End
Time: 2:13 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!

Intro
>>>
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 1st
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 2nd
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 1st 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 2nd 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 1st 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’ 2nd
verse, as far as tha flow/energy; I’ll give it some props, I guess… Tha 3rd
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 1st
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 2nd verse’s pretty aggressive;
diggin’ tha “swamp” part, toward tha end of tha verse… “Life iz like a Broadway
play,” accordin’ to tha 3rd verse, here; nice rhymes, this time…! My Rating: 4.1
06.
“Time Is Revealing”
>>> Anotha laidback beat, here; sounds good… Tha hook sounds catchy
wit this deep, southern voice… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and y’all got
this on lock, of course… Some rapid fire comin’ outta tha 2nd verse,
here; sounds good… Rapid-soundin’ way of tellin’ tha life story of y’all, on
tha 3rd verse; good shit… My
Rating: 4.2
07.
“Dirty South”
>>> Anotha good lil’ laidback beat, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it
aight; can’t say much… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and, at least y’all got
tha swishaz ta help y’all minds out…
Hearin’ tha 2nd 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 1st
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 2nd verse, here,
soundin’ pretty nice… Got tha 3rd 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 1st
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 2nd verse! Recyclin’ tha “Time Is
Revealing” quote, ironically, toward tha end of tha 1st part of tha
2nd verse… Hearin’ tha 2nd part of tha 2nd
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 1st
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 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice wit what y’all got
goin’ on, here! Consistent rhymes! Dude on tha 3rd verse loaded, as
well as lovin’ to get loaded; great
job!! My Rating: 4.5
11.
“Mr. Player”
>>> Beat’s nice and laidback, once again; great, consistent
production! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds like this “player”
wants such “pussy;” good shit… Tha hook sounds cool, includin’ anotha R&B
voice in tha background! Tha 2nd 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
1st 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 1st 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 2nd
verse, here & it sounds good; let’s keep it goin’… Tha 3rd 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
>>>
Sounds like an interestin’ beat/keys bein’ played! Gotta luv it! My Rating: N/A
Overall: Turned out ta be a nice,
southern-soundin’ CD fa tha Bootstate…! Great job wit tha beats, as well as
some of tha stories that went on…
