Haven’t
done an old Louisiana CD review in almost a month… What a way to bring ‘em
back: on 4/20! Got to go to Louisiana
last month & it was a dream come true! I just released my documentary on my
trip, yesterday: *Link* Now that I’m back in review mode, time to review this: Mr. Slim (The Ghetto Messiah) Presents Ghetto Tears, released in 1998 on
Formaldehyde Records & was produced by Tha Lab Technicians. FYI: This a
compilation, too! Start Time: 1:51 AM
| End Time: 2:53 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 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!

D.A.C.A.N. “Danger Danger”
>>> Sounds like a decent beat that gon sound like a nice lil’
undaground track, overall... Not bad with tha 1st verse, here; good
shit… Tha hook sounds good ta hear, as well; good shit… Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and it’s pretty nice, too… “Overload, explode; go into my fuck-tha-world
mode;” dope!! My Rating: 4.2
02.
Bottom Posse feat. Aria “Mama Why U Cry”
>>>
Sounds like a decent lil’ slow song, here… Tha hook ain’t bad but ehh… Tha 1st
verse decent, here; let’s keep it movin’… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and
it’s aight, too; nothin’ too bad but nothin’ too exciting, too… And, tha 3rd
verse, here, soundin’ like an okay tale in tha hood… My Rating: 3.4
03.
X-Con “Hard Times”
>>> Beat ain’t too bad… These vocals almost have, like, a West Coast
taste to ‘em, here, on tha 1st verse; decent… Hearin’ tha hook and
it ain’t bad… I almost feel like it’s a taste of Tupac, too… Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and it’s soundin’ nice, here… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd
verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear, as well… My Rating: 3.7
04.
D.A.C.A.N. feat. Ronald Adams “Living For Today”
>>> Sounds like a chill lil’ track ta shmoke to, wit this beat…
Hearin’ tha hook and it ain’t bad wit this singin’… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and it’s decent ta hear, here… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd
verse and it sounds nice ta keep this vibe goin’… As far as this title goes,
that’s right! “Living for today like there’s no tomorrow!” That’s why I have
tha fearless approach I have on life “today!” My Rating: 3.8
05.
Bottom Posse “Ghetto Tears”
>>> Sounds slow and really long? Decent track goin’ on, here, with tha
1st verse… Tha hook’s pretty nice wit this gutta feel; can’t deny
it… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty nice ta hear, too; good
shit… Time fa tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ like a nice lil’ female,
here… Keepin’ it movin’ with a 4th verse, here, soundin’ like a
decent verse, too… My Rating: 3.7

of my rap marathon?? My Rating: 1.2
07.
Mr. Slim feat. Rated X & Walter T. “Deep End”
>>> Decent beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s not
bad, here… Tha hook ain’t too bad, here; it’s all about tha future with this
“deep end.” Tha 2nd verse sounds betta wit this faster-soundin’
rappin’; good shit… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse, here,
soundin’ like a decent contribution, too… My
Rating: 4.0
½time: Only a 3.4-rated
compilation, so far… I believe that R&B track ruined tha vibe but otha than
that, it’s mainly only a decent CD, so far…
08.
Mr. Slim feat. Joe Blakk, Ragtop & Skull Duggrey “Nigga B-Real”
Lol, speaking of “B-Real” in tha title, I see that on 4/20 and I’m like,
“That’s, like, anti-4/20!!,” lol!
That name (with “DJ” in it) reminds me of back when I neva got high, smh!! What
kinda life that iz?!? >>> Sounds like a weird/odd, ironic title, here,
on tha hook… I’m diggin’ tha funky hook, tho; definitely feelin’ this! At least
I know all tha names on this shit, unlike most of tha otha songs on this CD!
Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty dope; good shit! Tha 2nd
½ of tha 1st verse’s pretty nice, too; good shit goin’ on, here… Tha
2nd verse sounds pretty nice and gutta, here; definitely some good
shit! And, tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse iz Skull Duggrey,
strictly holdin’ shit down, here… My
Rating: 4.4
09.
D.A.C.A.N. “Whogonride”
>>> Sounds like a dope track wit tha eerie vibe to it… Sounds like a
pretty nice hook, here, as well as tha beat… Tha 1st verse ain’t
that bad, here; good shit… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’
like a good verse, too… And, keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse,
here, soundin’ like a decent verse… D.A.C.A.N. got some eerie thoughts
surroundin’ him, here… My Rating: 3.9
10.
Divine “They Got Me Feeling It”
>>> Sounds like regular rappin’, here, on tha 1st verse, as
well as tha plain-soundin’ beat… A female on tha hook, here, soundin’ decent ta
hear… And, tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ decent, here; can’t deny it… My Rating: 3.6
11.
Bottom Posse feat. X-Con “Dramatime”
>>> Sounds a lil’ eerie, here; sounds nice… Nice wit how y’all comin’
through wit tha 1st verse, here… I’ono why but I’ont remember a
female bein’ in Bottom Posse…? And, tha 3rd verse iz here, soundin’
