Review #1,822: U.N.L.V. "Mac Melph Calio"

Reviewed on 10.14.2019 (Review #1,822)

Despite me bein’ in 1998 in my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon, sometimes, I had gotten CDs that were mislabeled. With that bein’ said, my next review iz really from 1995: U.N.L.V. Mac Melph Calio, released on Cash Money Records & was produced by Mannie Fresh. Start Time: 12:27 PM | End Time: 1:29 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. Intro

>>> Diggin’ tha beat sample! Gotta luv this dark vibe fa Cash Money! Gotta luv tha aggression from tha speaker, as well! My Rating: N/A

02. “Nigga I’m ‘Bout It”

>>> Sounds ironic fa Halloween comin’ up, as it has a sample goin’ on in tha beat, here! Definitely nice wit this hook and beat!! Tha 1^st verse iz pretty gutta, to tha bone!! Definitely feelin’ tha aggression; pure heat, here!! “Don’t get too close or tha heat just might scorch ya!” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and y’all goin’ off, continuously, wit tha consistency! Gotta luv it! As tha verse continuously goes on, it seems long but tha quality of it makes it not boring…! At 5:06, tha beat stopped & tha ramblin’-rap went crazy! My Rating: 4.7

03. “3^rd Ward Court Date!!”
Just hate thinkin’ ‘bout tha “court date” comin’ up! >>> Beat & hook’s pretty nice, as it’s a lil’ laidback fa tha ‘90s & dat good, undaground rap… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds like your typical, ‘90s-soundin’ delivery, here; good shit… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and even tho y’all “stuck like Chuck,” I know y’all got through it! I feel “stuck like Chuck,” as well; it’s rough…! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s your ‘90s slice of pie, here… My Rating: 3.9

04. “Pop ‘Em Up”
>>> A ‘90s “car” scene, here, as it sounds pretty grimy… Between tha last song & this, I think of N.W.A., wit their outspoken-asses; gotta dig tha perspective! At 1:00, tha track starts & it’s pretty dope, between tha hook & beat. Feelin’ how gangsta this N.W.A.-inspired shit gets, durin’ tha 1^st verse; plates breakin’!! Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice; gotta dig it! “I don’t need stars on my chest to make my fuckin’ name bigga;” I dig it! That’s how I feel about myself; I’m stronger in tha brain but I remain tha same (person)! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it sounds like a nice dose of a paranoia trip; good shit…! Tha 4^th verse’s soundin’ good, too, as tha rhymes keep flowin’, here…! Keepin’ tha 5^th verse comin’ along wit some gunshots, here, keepin’ it “G,” to tha fullest! Sounds like y’all havin’ more fun than havin’ paranoia durin’ tha outro, here; nice U.N.L.V. shit…! My Rating: 4.2

05. “No Struggle, No Progress”

>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ beat; Christmas bells bein’ sampled? Almost sounds like it but I’m definitely feelin’ tha trippy start, here…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and this gangsta tale’s soundin’ pretty nice; feelin’ it a lot on this beat! Dude on tha 2^nd part of tha 1^st verse’s pretty dope, wit his rhymes; gotta luv y’all…! Tha last 56 seconds of tha beat playin’ iz pretty dope; good shit! My Rating: 4.5

06. “Mannie Fresh Mix”
>>> Bouncin’ up & down ta this “mix;” good job, Fresh! My Rating: 4.3

½time: A 4.3-rated CD, so far; great gangsta tales! Keep ‘em comin’, y’all!

07. “Eddie Bow II”
>>> Great party vibe ta start thangz off…! Hearin’ y’all “bow” on tha hook reminds me of this dude from Baton Rouge that I no longer deal with. He claims he started tha “bow” shit (most-noted on Kevin Gates’ 2009 “I’m A Grinder” song). Meanwhile, here y’all are, 14 years ahead of that! Glad y’all here; good 1^st verse, as well! Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice and funny that y’all say, “Nigga, you ain’t tough;” irony fa tha future “bow?” Tha rest of tha rappin’, as well as tha chantin’, sounds nice, toward tha end; good shit…! My Rating: 4.2

08. “Come Up” feat. Magnolia Slim

>>> Sounds like a cool lil’ beat sample/sound, in tha beginning…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ like a regular-soundin’ ‘90s flow, here… Tha hook sounds like a good, simple hook; nice job, y’all… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ good fa tha ‘90s, once again… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it sounds like a struggle ta keep tha mission to survive alive. Luckily, y’all CMR representaz were able to build success from tha street life… Got tha 4^th verse, here & I’m diggin’ tha gritty vibes of tha voice & delivery, here; Louisiana in tha house…! My Rating: 4.2

09. “Mac Melph Calio” feat. Mr. Ivan

>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ hook & beat; beat’s pretty dope wit tha sound! I know I’ve heard this one before; just re-reviewin’ it, while I’m in tha mood… Got tha 1^st verse goin’ on and it’s soundin’ nice; y’all reppin’ nicely, here… Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here & it’s soundin’ good, of course… Tha 3^rd verse’s pretty dope, wit tha fast-soundin’ rappin’; gotta dig it…! Glad Mr. Ivan was able to join y’all on this track, here; good shit, as tha 4^th verse progresses…! My Rating: 4.4

10. “Shake, Shake It”
>>> Nice lil’ sample in tha beginning, here, as Aaliyah & DMX used for their collab, later on…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and y’all got this shit on lock; good shit…! Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds good fa these hoes, here; gotta make ‘em “shake!” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ pretty eerie wit tha darker sounds in tha beat! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and tha voice’s soundin’ more on tha southern tip, here; definitely nice…! My Rating: 4.3

11. “BGz True Story” (BGz)

>>> Kickin’ it off wit tha typical bounce-soundin’ sample… Got B.G. rappin’ on tha 1^st verse, wit this lil’ sample; definitely nice! Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice, too… Almost thought I wasn’t gon rate this, due to it bein’ just a sampler. However, I’ll give it its rating, due to all tha rappin’… My Rating: 4.2

12. “Hood Mac”

>>> Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ good on this ‘90s-styled beat… Got tha hook goin’ on, right nah & it sounds good ta hear, fa tha ‘90s… Tha 2^nd verse sounds a lil’ more energetic; gotta keep tha energy comin’! My Rating: 4.0

13. “Local 580 Fuck Tha Police” feat. BGz, Black, Jack-O, Lil’ Slim, Mr. Ivan & Ms. Tee

>>> Sounds like a good lil’ hook from Ms. Tee, here; duckin’ tha 12! Beat’s a simple-soundin’ ‘90s style, which fits ta fit all these peeps on here! Hearin’ B.G. on tha 1^st verse and he sounds good, as well as Ms. Tee’s “fuck tha police” background vocals helpin’ out…! Got tha 2^nd ½ of tha 1^st verse goin’ on, here & dude got tha aggressive flow, here…! Got tha 1^st part of tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ good wit tha female-styled perspective of duckin’ 12; go, Ms. Tee! Here comes tha 2^nd part of tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ good ta hear; gotta luv tha 504! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3^rd part of tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ good fa tha “block” & tha streetz! My Rating: 4.5

Overall: Nice job, y’all; glad y’all got tha reputation y’all deserved! Legends in tha 5-0-4 game! Plenty more U.N.L.V. durin’ my marathon! We’ll see when I get to those discs!

R.I.P. Video #60: Yella Boy (U.N.L.V.)

Broadcasting from Concrete City, here in Nanticoke, PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog, here, sadly reporting anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community. A special edition, today, April 5, 2018.

Today, April 5, 2018, marks 21 years since tha murder of New Orleans, LA rapper, Yella Boy. Yella Boy was born Albert Thomas in 1975. During the early '90s, Thomas joined tha rap group, U.N.L.V., which consisted of Tec-9, Lil' Ya & Yella Boy, himself. U.N.L.V. was one of tha 1st acts signed with Cash Money Records during tha early '90s. U.N.L.V. released their debut album, 6th & Baronne, in 1993. In 1994, they released their 2nd album, Straight Out Tha Gutta. In 1995, their 3rd album, Mac Melph Calio, was released, as well as Scrap Up!!. Their 4th album, Uptown 4 Life, was released in 1996. During 1996, life drew a hint of darkness for Thomas, as Thomas and Cash Money rep, Baby a.k.a. Birdman, started gettin' into it. U.N.L.V. was rumored to be dropped from Cash Money Records and Thomas pistol-whipped Baby. In a form of retaliation, many believe Baby killed Thomas. On April 5, 1997, Thomas was shot in tha head and killed in a dangerous drug deal at only 22 years-old. After Thomas' death, U.N.L.V. released their Greatest Hits compilation in 1997. After a four-year hiatus, U.N.L.V. returned in 2001 with their 5th album, The Return of U.N.L.V.: Trend Setters, on Blazin' South Records. In 2003, U.N.L.V. hit tha streets with their 6th album, Keep It Gutta, courtesy of B Real Entertainment. In 2004, U.N.L.V.'s 7th album, Gutta 4 Life, was also released on B Real Entertainment.

>>> Sounds catchy wit how you comin’ through on tha 1^st verse… I’ono why, but I can’t seem to have interest in havin’ much ta comment about, at times… My Rating: 3.8

12. “I Like It (Mannie Fresh Style)”

Let’s hear a non-radio edit this time, lol? >>> Feelin’ tha Fresh attribute ta this, despite him already producin’ tha whole entire CD, already! Just a beat? Nice job for an instrumental… See #8 fa tha review!

Overall: I thought this was a decent release; can’t complain… Sometimes, I get a lil’ bored but at times, I still dig it…

Review #1,177: Budta B "The Experiment Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 9.13.2012 (Review #1,177)

My 1^st review for today iz a Dope Celebrity Records release, from ’08. Too bad I couldn’t get to this while my radio show was still active; had too much college shit on my mind. Here’s my review for Budta B The Experiment Vol. 1! By tha way, happy birthday to my boy, Bubba, outta dat Big Stacks Entertainment!! Start Time: 11:08 AM | End Time: 11:50 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. “Old School”

Startin’ it off (labeled “O.G.” on tha DatPiff file name, but I’m gonna go wit tha back cover’s info)… >>> A jacked beat CD? Didn’t expect “Nuttin’ But A “G” Thang” for tha beat, but you got a nice voice fa this shit! Good, vicious flow goin’ on, here! All tha name-droppin’ was pretty tight, too! My Rating: 4.2

02. “Hip-Hop”

>>> LOL @ tha beat choice, lovin’ it, lol… Yea, I can get a “bob [my] head” feelin’ ta this; thumbs up on how you came up! My Rating: 4.0

03. “Second”

Third track on here, lol. >>> Wow, these beats seem so old, lol… Feelin’ your fast rappin’, as you’re on track wit tha beat, here! My Rating: 4.1

04. “I’m Dope” Feat. Nu$$ie & Diablo

Classic collaborators; really lookin’ forward to hearin’ this!! >>> Goin’ all tha way back ta ’04 wit tha “Three Kings” beat, here; lol, when ’04 was four years old! Now, ’08 iz four years old! You doin’ a good job on tha 1^st verse, here, wit your voice and how you handlin’ these jacked beats! Nu$$ie sounds anticipatin’ on tha 2^nd verse, includin’ all tha greatness he spittin’! Definitely one of his best, here; “opposite of Santa?” How bah-humbugful!! Definitely a classic verse from him; too bad it’s a jacked beat, though! Could only imagine what that would sound like on an original beat? His attitude made sense, unlike everyone these dayz wit their cockiness! Diablo sounds good on tha 3^rd verse, too; lots of shit he spittin’ here, representin’ in a frequent way! My Rating: 4.5

05. “Get In Dat Door” Feat. Lil’ J

All DCF people on tha features? No wonder, you were with them, even though I neva heard of you ‘til now? I dunno why I didn’t hear anyone buzz about chu… >>> Oh, God, iz dat tha “Speedin’” beat? Some of them The Runners productions sounded similar… LOL, good title and hook! Feelin’ tha “street” shit you spittin’, here. Tha title almost sounds like it could be “Gettin’ Dat Doe” wit how Lil’ J delivers it, lol. Speakin’ of J, here he iz on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some good shit, fa what it was during this time. Ooh, you got some hot shit comin’ through on tha 3^rd verse; where are all these rhymes comin’ from?! Definitely consistent and fast!! “Just be real like Big Wayne brotha;” lol, you had some knowledge back then! I didn’t know that ‘til tha year after… or, two years…!! My Rating: 4.3

06. “Stop Talkin’” Feat. Lil’ Chris & Doe Boy

Some Short Bus Boyz-type shit? Lookin’ forward to hearin’ this collaboration!! >>> Ooh, finally, an original production from under-20-year-old Big Wayne!! Definitely a nice beat, and tha hook’s pretty tight, wit tha middle finger attitude! Tha 1^st verse sounds nice and energetic; gotta luv how y’all doin’ tha damn—“beat ya like masturbation!”—damn, tight line outta nowhere! I’m sure tha remaining verses are gonna be on tha same level as tha 1^st one… I think I’m right, as tha 2^nd verse has that vibe; good shit! I hear tha SBB, and he’s got some good rhymin’ goin’ on, on tha 3^rd verse! My Rating: 4.6

07. “Alcoholic”

I still don’t understand how people get addicted to alcohol… >>> LOL, back when Cee-Lo was, like, unknown to many people; this beat’s from ’03! I still don’t get how so many artists get big these dayz, but back in tha day, it would always be an underrated single. Anyway, this iz okay; you handlin’ tha hook pretty good, like Timbaland did back then! My Rating: 4.2

08. “Local Hoochie” Feat. Nu$$ie

What’s a “Hoochie,” lol? >>> The Runners beat, on a typical “The Final Countdown” bassline… Good collaboration on tha hook from tha both of y’all, and interestin’ title. Tha 1^st verse sounds good wit all tha DCF people bein’ shouted out! Hearin’ more of tha 1^st verse, and it sounds like a bunch of 225 people bein’ shouted out; great rhymes and ways to describe all these Baton Rouge people!! You’re also on tha 2^nd verse, and let’s see what’s goin’ on, here… You definitely keepin’ your 225 knowledge goin’ on, here. Really, you knew who “Q-Red” was back then? My Rating: 4.7

09. “Rider”

! >>> Your voice sounds a lil’ different, here; sounds more gutta… Tha rhymes are pretty nice, here, on whateva this beat iz… Tha hook’s pretty nice; raise dat voice! Yea, definitely feelin’ tha consistent attitude! My Rating: 4.1

10. “Go Crazy”

Am I expectin’ a jacked beat or somethin’? I dunno why my mind’s on that prediction, right now… (I wrote this preview before I even heard tha whole CD) >>> Well, it ain’t tha Young Jeezy beat I was expectin’; don’t exactly know this beat, but this fast vibe from you’s only okay for me… You prolly could’ve had this be less than 3 ¾ minutes long… Rhymes are aight, but ehh, I heard betta from you on this CD, already. My Rating: 3.6

11. “Keep It Trill” Feat. Twigg & Mo P

Interestin’-lookin’ features… >>> LOL, I thought this was “Runaway Love” for a second, but it’s that “Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill)” song, lol… Now, it’s a fast delivery, and I’m likin’ it ‘cause it reminds me of tha bounce deliveries… Features sound above-average for me; at least they 225 reprasentaz… My Rating: 3.9

½time: A 4.2-rated CD, currently; gotta feel what you’re bringin’ to tha table, jacked beat style, so far!!

12. “Rip Something” Feat. Lil’ J

Familiar song? >>> “D-Boyz” beat; heard many times on tracks, it feels like… Likin’ tha rhymes and delivery, though… My Rating: 3.8

13. “Roll ‘Em Up” Feat. BGz

>>> Big Wayne doin’ tha beat, here! Sounds like a simple song; can’t deny it… Features sound real young, here, wit dat classic Big Wayne pattern on tha beat!! I don’t have much ta say about this, but this a reason why I began to fall in luv wit Louisiana! My Rating: 4.3

14. “I’m Gutta” Feat. Mo P

>>> Doesn’t sound too much like a mainstream jacked beat; decent for a song… I like tha Southern vibe, and tha lyrics are pretty good wit tha 225 vibe! My Rating: 3.8

15. “The Life”

>>> Not really into tha long sample in tha beginning, especially since it’s takin’ up almost ½ of this song… Lyrics are good, but you prolly could’ve planned this song out betta (subtract tha beginning)! My Rating: 3.2

16. “Candyman” Feat. Twigg & Ceddybu

>>> Sounds like funny lyrics; food? Interestin’ delivery and shit; have I heard this before? Hook sounds familiar, but nice job from err-body doin’ a catchy job wit this one. My Rating: 4.1

17. “Mobbin’ (Remix)” Feat. Delwin, Lil’ J, Puppy, Bro-Bro & Nu$$ie

Mega-collab goin’ on, here… >>> Long intro? Okay, “Mobbin’ (Remix)”; I think that’s more of a correct title than “Big Dogg”…? Sounds like a lot goin’ on, but it died off at 4:03, for some reason, leavin’ tha last 50 seconds blank. :( My Rating: 3.6

18. “Hustler Anthem” Feat. Lil’ J & Nu$$ie

>>> Ahh, “Brown Paper Bag”; ewe… Good start from Lil’ J, here, before-2009 style. Not bad wit how you came through on this, pretty quick… Don’t think Nu$$ie should be first in tha ID, since he’s last on tha song. But, good job from Nu$$, either way. My Rating: 3.7

19. “Swagnificent” Feat. Level

I’d usually hate on a title like this, but since this was tha Nu$$ie-Alive times (especially ’08), I have to appreciate it…, I guess? >>> Weird Rich On Da Track beat tag, lol? Recognized tha background, at first, in tha tag, but let’s see what we got here… Sounds like a fun song fa tha ’08 dayz; kinda miss these dayz of Level… Nice job wit tha shit y’all bringin’ to tha table, here; can’t complain. Tha beat keeps tha excitement goin’; good job, y’all! My Rating: 4.5

20. “Candy Cane”

I anticipate somethin’ outta this title… >>> Ugh, “Lollipop”… “C Squared” or “Candy Cane”, at least this doesn’t have no gay-ass a-tune to it! Not really for me; how many people have to remake this song? Length iz too long, too, especially since no one’s on it… My Rating: 2.9

21. “Out My Medulla” Feat. Lil’ Louis & Lil’ Yella

LOL; looks like it gon be a good song/collaboration! >>> This sounds like a tight song; good vibe, 225 style!! This iz tha shit that really caught my attention when my Louisiana connection started! Oh, gotta luv all tha energy!! It doesn’t stop!!! Y’all seem ta neva stop wit this shit!! My Rating: 4.6

22. “Vamanos” Feat. Lil’ J, Nu$$ie & Puppy

Endin’ it wit a big one? >>> Ehh, “Adios”… A lil’ long on tha length, so let’s see if I can handle it… Catchy hook, but it really could be original… Lil’ J’s first, but last on tha ID? Ugh, I don’t like tha dickridin’ order; should be in order of who’s first on tha song! Not bad wit Lil’ J comin’ through on this beat; I’ll give him credit. LOL, Nu$$ie, Mr. “Good Bad Guy” comin’ through “eatin’ sunflower seeds” in a “tree;” rofl, gotta give him major credit fa bein’ such a character!!! Tha 3^rd verse iz Puppy, and he sounds like he can do anything? A lil’ automatic wit tha lyrics, but can’t complain wit these times… I think he was only 22, 23, at tha time? I’m 24, and I still don’t feel close to ‘automatic’ wit things (I guess that’s my lack of communication)? Here you are on tha final verse, comin’ through wit tha “-ion” lines; really feelin’ ‘em all!! Now, some “-al” parts ending it, love it!!! My Rating: 4.6

Overall: Definitely felt this CD, for tha most part, despite all tha jacked beats!! Keep up tha great work… whereva you are!

07. “Luv Somebody” Feat. Peewee & Fred

>>> Why iz this so loud? :confused Why iz this mixtape goin’ downhill? No need for a sample; you’re aight but no need for tha features, here. SMH, tha last verse sounds off-beat? My Rating: 2.1

>>> A lil’ boring for me; tired of hearin’ these same beats 1,000,000x! My Rating: 2.9

>>> Sounds pretty gay wit tha beginning voice… LOL, this iz only 34 seconds; good thing, even though it’s betta than usual, finally. ROFL, it cut off!! :rofl My Rating: 3.5

11. “I’m Retarded” Feat. Fred, Yella & La’Kevin

>>> Doesn’t even sound like it fits on this CD fulla jacked beats; weird-ass beat sounds goin’ on, here… BTW, why iz this almost 5.5 minutes long? I thought this CD had two-minute songs? My Rating: 3.4

12. “Don’t Look Wrong” (RB’z & BG’z)

Looks like a battle wit tha artists, here… >>> I can tolerate this a lil’ betta; have I heard dis before? Guess not…; rhymes sound like they have some consistent energy goin’ on but not too annoyin’ like tha previous song. My Rating: 3.8

13. “Fight Night” Feat. La’Kevin, Yella & Fred

>>> LOL @ BW’s name only “DJ Wayne”; must be helllllllllla old, especially since there’s a beat pattern, too! Anyway, an aight/good song; should be considered tha best song on here. My Rating: 4.2

14. “Got Money”

Not sure why this iz a couple megabytes when it doesn’t even load? My Rating: N/A

02. “Where Ya From” Feat. BG’z
Look @ dat length of ova six minutes!! What do we got here? >>> Good dat there’s a Bounce beat although this sounds a lil’ familiar wit tha hook… Ooh, I hear tha 1st verse comin’ through in a gr8 way!! DEFINITELY cool wit tha rappin’ here and tha beat sounds hot! I think someone sampled tha sample in this beat not too long ago (forgot what song it was). Nice job holdin’ down tha 1st verse right there, ya dig! Feelin’ this shit as it’s comin’ through in full force!! Comin’ through “like a real G should” for tha 2nd verse here; lookin’ forward ta hearin’ tha whole thang! Nice job deliverin’ this shit; y’all comin’ through strong fa tha hood! I was just ‘bout ta say, B.G.’s on tha 3rd verse? Then, who’s tha BG’z? I rememba seein’ on Music Choice Rap dat BG’z was a group back in tha day; I see now… But yea, good looks on B.G. rappin’ on tha 3rd verse, doin’ his “street shit” thang to tha fullest!! Let’s see if a 4th verse can fit or will it be just a long-ass beat outro? Oh, I hear a hook repeatin’; I can handle dat. My Rating: 4.6


03. “Riding High” Feat. Kilo G
Shit yea, Kilo G’s featured on dis shit!! REALLY lookin’ forward ta hearin’ dis shit!!! >>> Smooth lil’ “ridin’”-type beat here and it sounds GR8 on tha hook!!

Tha hook sounds short but it’s good fa what it iz, ya dig! Oh, SHIIIIIIIITTT!!! LUV tha start to tha 2nd verse as it came outta nowhere!!! VERY GOOD JOB RIGHT THERE!!!!! Tha street content (from tha “grabbin’ stashes of dope” to “snort and snortin’”) iz CRAZY!!!!! REAL, REAL CRAZY!!!!! Thumbs up ta tha BIG DAWG Kilo G!!!!! Tha 3rd verse sounds pretty tight right chea, doin’ tha damn thang wit all tha street shit!! My Rating: 4.9


05. “Flexin’”
How will you be “flexin’” on dis shit right chea? Let’s see how you do it by yourself! >>> Pretty good West Coast-influenced-type beat here; sounds good once again. Sounds like some West Coast-styled rappin’ too based off how you sound on this shit; good shit. Tha 2nd verse has some gangsta shit added to it; nice job deliverin’ this shit. Interestin’ shit wit “poppin’ tha trunk” goin’ on in tha 3rd verse too; keep this shit up! Glad you got ear-catchin’ rhymes just like Ruthless Juveniles, who I previously reviewed today dat had REALLY descripitive TIGHT rhymes!!! My Rating: 4.2

06. “Loose Lips, Sank Ships” Feat. Number-Lu
Interestin’ title here and a newbie on tha collab; let’s see what this sounds like! >>> Pretty good start for tha beat… Not bad so far… Interestin’ lyrics of what you’re dealin’ wit in tha 1st verse. Let’s see what tha 2nd verse holds… I guess it explains more of tha title; good, good… My Rating: 3.8


07. “Who’s That Nigga”
You… Let’s see what you bring on dis track alone! >>> It’s completely you when it comes ta tha flow right chea and tha delivery! Good rhymes goin’ on in tha 1st verse; ‘preciate your lyrical content. Tha 2nd verse sounds like tha flow’s flowin’ good wit tha lyrics. Pretty descriptive around 2:40 wit tha “bust a nut” part, lol. My Rating: 3.9


08. “Straight From Tha Ramp” Feat. B-32
Title track here wit dat boy B-32 on tha track wit you; let’s see how GR8 this collaboration iz!! >>> Likin’ how this beat sounds; almost sounds like tha current dayz. Pretty good rappin’ on tha 1st verse right chea; you doin’ ya thang fa tha hood here. Tha hook sounds good; I like how y’all comin’ through wit it. Let’s hear Baby on tha 2nd verse here… I like how he came through wit his two cents. You doin’ a pretty good job fa tha hood on tha 3rd verse also right chea. Ooh, B-32 takes tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse right chea, doin’ his thang “on tha ramp” and “gettin’ fulla dat water!” My Rating: 4.0


09. “Uptown, Uptown” Feat. B-32
Shid, anotha collaboration wit B-32! Let’s see how GR8 this one goes!! >>> Ooh, likin’ how this beat sounds fa a start! Soundin’ like it’s on some good Louisiana-type shit here! Very “uptownful” right chea wit all tha shit for tha beginning… dat’s if tha beginning ends, lol! Iz it really featurin’ B-32? I feel like tha song ain’t changin’… Oh, finally, he made an appearance at 1:42; I like his “where tha volumes at?” shit; good shit!! I’m catchin’ onta this a lil’ more now dat I’m hearin’ B-32 contribute here and there! Still, this sounds like a random, background track. My Rating: 4.3


10. “They All Die” Feat. B-32 & BG’z
Shit yea, ANOTHA B-32 collaboration! Dat’s three fa him and only two fa Kilo G; will there be anotha Kilo G collab on here? >>> Y’all got tha beats on lock here; they’re interestin’ and upbeat! Tha beginning sounds pretty cool and tha rappin’ (wit tha flow and err-thang) DEFINITELY sounds like Louisiana ta me! Tha hook sounds good, ya dig! Tha start to tha 2nd verse iz brave; definitely “’bout it,” ya dig! LOL, I think they fucked up tha ID here forgettin’ ‘bout tha BG’z ‘cause I hear B.G. on tha 3rd verse here, doin’ a nice job here, ya dig. Interestin’ about people and how “they all die” at one point. My Rating: 4.1


11. “Local 580: Burn ‘Em Like A Bitch” Feat. BG’z, B-32, Kilo G & Mannie Fresh
Tha final song on here… How you gon “burn ‘em like a bitch?” Lemme hear tha “Local 580!” >>> Sounds like it finna be anotha catchy beat here wit tha start! Ooh, it turned into a different form of G-Funk in tha sound. LOL, forgot about tha BG’z on tha feature again (based off of tha mp3 I have)? Shiiid… You know B.G. doin’ tha damn thang on tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse right chea. I like tha “lost buku blood” part; good shit, B.G.! And now, I hear B-32 on tha 3rd part right chea! Will Kilo G surprise me on dis shit? Sounds good so far on this part from B-32 right chea! Shit yea, here’s Kilo G on tha 4th part; crazy gangsta shit goin’ on here! DEFINITELY feelin’ it fa a lil’ recovery of excitement right chea!! LOL, iz dat Mannie Fresh on tha 5th part? Sounds good on this shit right chea; he doin’ tha damn thang wit his flow! Nice job wit tha rhymes and now, he handlin’ tha outro ta this shit! My Rating: 4.5


Overall: Nice job, my boy!! Tec-9, you dat dude when it comes ta this HOT Rap shit, ya feel me!! Keep doin’ tha damn thang to tha fullest!!
