Keepin’
my reviewz goin’ wit Big Mike, up
next! Hard To Hit, released in 1999 on Rap-A-Lot Records! Start Time: 5:05 PM | End Time: 6:18 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!

“Return Of The Gangsta Shit”
Producer:
Mike Dean
>>>
Nice beat and intro, so far! Likin’ how tha “gang…” repeated & dubbed; good
shit! Feelin’ tha hook, here; definitely nice! Got a verse goin’ on, here,
soundin’ pretty nice ta hear… My Rating:
4.2
02.
“Made Men”
Producer:
Mike B
>>>
Beat sounds nice and anthemic! It sounds like you have a mix between tha West
Coast & tha Boot, wit yo music… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s
soundin’ nice, wit how you comin’ through wit it… No hook? Didn’t expect just a
verse but if you wanna call this tha 2nd intro, I guess we’ll
consider that? Oh, I hear tha hook toward tha final few seconds, lol; nice… My Rating: 3.8
03.
“Hard To Hit”
Producer:
Mike Dean
>>>
Sounds like a cool beat and, like, a sample or somethin’ wit tha sound that
sounds catchy, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ good…
Didn’t expect tha hook to come outta nowhere (poor transition?); it sounds
good, too… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ good; not much ta
say ‘bout tha good rhymes… Oh, I’d luv
some “hash,” right nah! Don’t get me jealous…! Tha 3rd verse’s
pretty hype wit how you keepin’ this goin’; nice job… My Rating: 3.9
04.
“12 O’Clock”
Producer:
Mike Dean & Mike B
>>> Nice lil’ beat, as well as tha hook, here… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and you sound okay… I’ono if tha flow bores me, at times, so if I don’t
have much ta say, it’s usually ‘cause of that… Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’
good, once again; keep it goin’… Good job wit tha consistent-soundin’ 3rd
verse, here; you got dis…! My Rating: 3.8
05.
“Hustlers”
Producer:
Mike B
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ southern beat ta lay back to… Hearin’ tha
1st verse and it’s soundin’ nice, here… Tha hook sounds nice ta
hear, here; gotta keep hustlin’…!
Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, comin’ through like a G, here;
nice… Tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ nice ta hear, as well; good shit… My Rating: 4.0
06.
“Southern Supreme”
Producer:
Mike Dean
>>> Good lil’ beat; repetitive hook that’s ehh, here… Tha 1st
verse’s soundin’ okay, here; nothin’ ta really say… It starts soundin’ more
consistent wit tha rhymes, as this continues, so there’s some sorta extra
light, here… My Rating: 3.9
07.
“Sunday Morning”
Producer:
Mike Dean & Mr. Lee
>>>
Sounds like it samples somethin’ in tha beat, here; not too bad for a start…
Tha 1st verse ain’t too bad, here; keep it goin’… Ehh @ tha hook;
not into this church shit, so this ain’t fa me… I’m a Christian but I don’t
fuck wit this type of rap music… Tha 2nd verse’s motivated, wit tha
content; it’s just not my cup of tea, especially for Louisiana rap… I feel tha same about tha 3rd
verse, here; not much ta say… My Rating:
1.9
08.
“Heads Like Us”
Producer:
Mike B
>>>
Beat sounds kinda dry, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds
more like tha undaground than that gospel shit… Tha hook sounds okay; feelin’
tha funk and beat sounds in tha beat…! Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad;
seems dry, at times, so I guess tha hook enlightens tha track a bit… Hearin’
tha 3rd verse and it aight… My
Rating: 3.7
09.
“Better Now” feat. MC Breed & Devin The Dude
Producer:
Mike Dean & Mr. Lee
>>>
Okay beat, here, as it’s a lil’ more upbeat… Hearin’ you on tha 1st
verse and it aight, here… Tha hook sounds pretty nice; just layin’ it down like
it iz! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from Breed and it’s soundin’ laidback;
not bad, here… Got Devin on tha 3rd verse, here, layin’ it down like
it seriously iz! My Rating: 3.9
10.
“Claimin’ Real”
Producer:
Mike B
>>> Pretty creepy and nice how that chick says, “Bayou,” on tha hook!
Also, nice lil’ accordion in tha beat! Interestin’ lil’ twist…! Hearin’ you on
tha 1st verse and I’m feelin’ tha consistent rhymes; this sounds
betta! Lol, tha beat sounds like it’s faster toward tha end…! My Rating: 4.3
½time: Kinda dry and okay fa me,
so far… Most ain’t that bad but there’s nothin’ too much that sticks out wit
this CD, here, except for tha accordion! A 3.7-rated CD, so far; time ta continue…

“One Time”

say about this one but it’s mainly okay/good… My Rating: 3.7
17.
“All My Love”

A female singin’ on tha hook, ova this quiet beat…; not bad… Beat sounds more
on a G-Funk-soundin’ beat, which sounds good… Hearin’ you on tha 1st

here; it’s okay, once again… My Rating: 3.6
18.
“Twirk It” feat. Jayo Felony & Spice 1
Producer:
Mike Dean & Mr. Lee
Lol
@ tha spellin’ of twerk, here…
>>> Beat’s pretty upbeat, here, as you’re spittin’ some good rhymes on
tha 1st verse; nice… Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, here,
wit tha voice; rhymes are good… Tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ nice ta
hear, as this continues on… Pretty hyped-up wit this verse; definitely feelin’
tha energy! “Saggy jeans, tryna live a hustla’z dream;” ain’t dat right! A 4th
verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear, as well… My Rating: 3.9
19.
“None” feat. Yukmouth
Producer:
Mike B
>>>
Anotha good, simple-soundin’ anthem, on tha hook; nice beat, too… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse from you and it’s soundin’ nice; keep reppin’…! Tha yucky mouth of Yukmouth on tha 2nd verse, here,
providin’ gangsta-related energy to tha fullest! Tha 3rd verse’s
soundin’ nice, here, wit tha “soulja rag” and it gon “sag!” My Rating: 4.0
20.
“Suckers 2 Me”
Producer:
Mr. Lee
>>>
Beat ain’t too bad, here; nice lil’ West Coast vs. Louisiana sound… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and it cool… I like how you say, “From a hustlin’-type perspective;”
sounds like somethin’ I’d say… Hearin’ tha hook and it cool; you know what it
iz… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds like you attackin’ all da
“suckers;” true dat! Got tha 3rd verse goin’ on, as well; definitely
nice wit dat aggression! My Rating: 3.8
Overall: Looked like it turned out
ta be a good/above-average review, here… Mostly a decent set of songs, while
tha highest rating was a 4.3, twice… We’ll see how you do in tha future, when I
review your CDs after this one…
