Review #1,693: Lil' Slim "Franchise Player"

Reviewed on 3.20.2017 (Review #1,693)

Happy 54^th day in a row of reviewin’ CDs & only six more dayz till my dream comes true!! Now, I have my 3^rd review for today: Lil’ Slim Franchise Player, released in 1998 on Franchise Player Entertainment & was produced by Lil’ Slim, himself! Start Time: 4:42 PM | End Time: 5:05 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 and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

Link To CD: N/A

01. “Self-Made Nigga” feat. Bad Fellas

Let’s hear it!! >>> Sounds pretty nice wit this beat, here; good shit! Anticipatin’ tha track from this intro, here! Sounds nice wit tha 1^st verse, here… Not much goin’ on wit tha hook, here; it aight… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s not bad, here… Still soundin’ decent with tha 3^rd verse, here; can’t say much… My Rating: 3.7

02. “Bitches & Niggs”
>>> Sounds like an okay beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s not bad, here… Most of tha shit I’ve been hearin’ on this CD’s been on a decent level, even tho I’m only four total verses into this CD, lol… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s decent; kinda flows with tha 1^st verse without a transition, tho… Prolly coulda sounded a lil’ betta but anyway, here comes tha 2^nd verse, spittin’ some facts… Nice wit what you’re spittin’ but some of it’s draggin’ and gettin’ borin’, fa me… My Rating: 3.5

03. “Talking Sporty Woty”
>>> Anotha one that sounds decent, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s aight wit what you’re spittin’… It seems like you had betta music before this, tho, so this just an okay CD, so far… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s decent ta hear… Decent shit comin’ outta tha 2^nd verse, too; not much ta say… Tha rest of this just drags…; I’m endin’ it short… My Rating: 3.1

½time: A 3.4-rated CD, so far… I’ono, maybe it’s ‘cause I had a situation go on, yesterday that I’m not in tha mood fa this shit, right now… Then again, most of this shit I’ve been reviewin’s been decent…

04. “Stop Reppin’”
>>> Sounds like a decent beat, here; I’ono about this voice goin’ on wit tha hook… What tha hell this different, uncredited voice iz? Not really too crazy about it, on tha 1^st verse… Yeah, I can’t take this serious! I don’t even wanna hear tha rest…! My Rating: 2.3

05. “Talkin’ Crazy”
>>> I hear tha beat sample in tha background, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s not bad, so far… Tha good thing iz, this track’s short so I ain’t gotta worry about it too much… Still, nothin’ really poppin’ wit this one… My Rating: 3.0

06. “Lame Niggas Get Hunted” feat. Maximus & D-Boy

>>> Tha hook has some good gangsta shit ta offer, but it don’t sound like it’s that serious… Like, I’m not used to this voice or somethin’? Beat’s kinda plain, too… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s decent; can’t say much… Tha 2^nd verse kinda ehh, too; I don’t feel tha Louisiana sound in tha voice… Almost sounds like a southern Ma$e or somethin’! And, as we slowly get this review finished, tha 3^rd verse’s decent, as well… As tha voices continue ta get random, we got tha 4^th verse… Ugh! It almost sounds like it’s off-beat or somethin’! My Rating: 2.4

Overall: I ain’t really fuck wit this CD, overall… Kinda glad that there weren’t too many jointz, but nothin’ really was poppin’, here… I’ono, I thought you came through betta than this but this iz how this turned out… Also, I was hopin’ this wasn’t gonna end at 5:04, in honor of tha New Orleans area code! However, by one second, it ended at 5:05! What sour luck, lol!!

I hate to think that this tha worst review outta every one I’ve done in tha Louisiana Reviewz Marathon, for a rap CD? I know an R&B CD was really bad, but this gotta be tha lowest-rated one for a rap one…

Review #1,644: Baddfellaz "Dead Presidents"

Reviewed on 2.10.2017 (Review #1,644)

I ain’t really have tha review power I had, tha past few dayz… Just been dealin’ with a lotta anxiety at work & always gettin’ ignored by Louisiana artists, at tha moment… It’s really gettin’ to me and I’m gettin’ really upset about it, deep down inside! :( But, lemme at least get anotha review in… Here goes my review for Baddfellaz, outta New Orleans, Dead Presidents, released in 1998 on Righteous Records! Start Time: 4:28 PM | End Time: 5:33 PM

Produced by EJ & Plyreem, here! >>> Nice lil’ intro, here; pretty intense wit tha “police” shit… My Rating: N/A

02. “Ourtown” feat. 384’s, Drama Squad & Lil’ Slim

Looks like a dope collab, produced by Don Juan, here! >>> Sounds pretty nice… It sounds like a nice, more-undaground version of No Limit, here? Definitely dope! Excited ta hear this! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty dope, between tha voice & rhymes, here! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty dope! Sounds like a simple, typical hook about “where you from,” but it ain’t a bad thang! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice ta hear…!

03. “Mo Cash”

Plyreem on tha beat! >>> Wouldn’t fuck wit this shit if it was recent shit… I’m not a fan of “cash” rhymes/songs, but this a decent lil’ hook/beat… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds like good, consistent rhymes fa this “cash” topic… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and here, it’s all about tha “dirty money;” keep it movin’… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s pretty good, as well… My Rating: 3.8

Don Juan doin’ tha track! >>> Decent beat, here…; hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s nice… A 2^nd ½ of tha 1^st verse, here, and it’s good, as well… Tha voice sounds betta on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 1^st verse, so I’m fuckin’ wit it more… And, a 3^rd part of tha 1^st verse? Decent, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s nice wit this whole attitude of tha “middle finger;” dope shit! Oh, all verses in one? I’ono, I might’ve confused tha order of err-thang, here… My Rating: 4.2

06. “Die Young”

Plyreem on tha beat, here… >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ beat that’s darker… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and tha rhymes sound a lil’ like preachin’ vs. street, here; good shit… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s nice with this screwed sound! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ good, here… Keepin’ it movin’ with tha 3^rd verse and it’s soundin’ nice… My Rating: 4.3

07. “Downtown Blowout” feat. Cheeky Blakk

Should be interestin’ wit Mannie Fresh on tha beat, here! >>> A lil’ more jammin’, here, as tha 1^st verse’s soundin’ pretty nice on this beat! More of tha 1^st verse, here, as we have a 2^nd ½ of tha 1^st verse, soundin’ nice wit tha “Girbaud jeans!” Cheeky sounds pretty nice, here, representin’, as well, on tha hook!

Plyreem beat, again! >>> Hearin’ tha beat and it’s ehh… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ good, even tho I’m not tha craziest about these kinda real-life songs… Remakin’ Nas’ “Life’s A Bitch”, here, on tha hook, fa tha ’98, Louisiana heads; dope shit… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ decent, as y’all keepin’ it movin’, here… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice… My Rating: 4.0

14. “Numbers Up” feat. Che, Kapone & Jaccpot

Mannie Fresh on this beat! >>> Sounds like a good 1^st verse, here, wit Fresh doin’ a great job wit this more-exciting beat! Dope-ass hook! How about, a decade later, BluBlack & Pezie, outta Baton Rouge, remade this! Ain’t realize they knew this?! Tha “throw yo numbers up” shit sounds just like theirs! Crazy!! Neva know what’s next in tha reviewz! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty aggressive, here! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s a lil’ calmer on tha voice, but they “don’t give a fuck like O-Dog,” lol; random… My Rating: 4.5

15. “Get Da Cream”

Playa beat, here… >>> Sounds like a catchy lil’ tune; luvin’ tha hook! “I’mma B-A-DD-F-E-L-L-A-Z!” Catchy lil’ beat, too…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice, consistently spittin’ dem rhymes!! Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here, and it sounds good ta hear, as well… My Rating: 4.4
