Review #1,824: Wet Boys "Puttin' Out The Fire, Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 10.14.2019 (Review #1,824)

I have to admit, now that I found The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Randomizer, it’s been makin’ me wanna keep playin’ & get back ta consistently reviewin’! I’m glad I re-found that love for consistently reviewin’, again, so I finna get inta this next one: Released in 1998 on Sporty Records & produced by T-Bone, here goes my review fa N’awlinz’s Wet Boys Puttin’ Out The Fire, Vol. 1! R.I.P. Sporty-T! Start Time: 3:12 PM | End Time: 4:32 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!

R.I.P. Video #40: Sporty-T

Broadcasting from tha abandoned Kings Park Psychiatric Center's morgue in Kings Park, NY, this ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog here, reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community, a special edition today.

Today, July 15, 2015, marks seven years since Terence Vine, known by his stage name Sporty-T, was murdered in his sleep, back on July 15, 2008. Vine was sleeping in a FEMA trailer on tha 5100 block of Painters Street in Gentilly, New Orleans, LA when unknown assailants toted AK-47's at tha trailer, killing Vine on tha scene. Sources say Vine was 39, but family members say he was 41 when he died.

In 1986, Vine was a part of tha New Orleans trio, Ninja Crew, alongside Gregory D & Baby T. They released tha 12" single, We Destroy, that same year on 4 Sight Records. In 1993, Vine released his first solo single on Big Boy Records, "Sporty Talk-N-Sporty '93", which lead to his debut solo tape, Jackin' For Bounce '94, in 1994. Also, in 1994, he released another tape, It's All Good. Vine founded his own label, Sporty Records, and released The Saga Continues on tha label in 1996, and Street Soldier (Respect It Or Check It), which he produced, on Big Boy Records that same year. Two more releases came outta 1997, when Vine dropped Still Goin' On '97 on Sporty Records and Chromed Out on Ruff Era Records. In 2000, Vine was tha producer for New Orleans group, Wet Boys, and their CD, Get Wet. In 2001, he released Look What I Got on Go Get 'Em Records and in 2002, his final release, A Brand New Day was released on Sporty Records. Tha label released fellow N.O.-y, Gert Town Red's The Caper Man in 2002, as well.
