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! After I
was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much
you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done
business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

01.
“Intro”
>>> Beat sounds good, here, and you comin’ through wit some shit ta
ride through—yea, through tha hood. My Rating: 4.1
02.
“Scarface”
>>> This sounds good. Because of tha title, I thought it was gon sound
more darker on tha beat, but I’m feelin’ how you comin’ through wit tha rhymes
fa tha hood… “Always,” Marcelo! “Always!” My
Rating: 3.8
03.
“Bossed Up” Feat. Monsta Beatz
Got
some Beatz on tha feature, here… >>> Catchy hook and beat, here…
Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse, and you really “blowin’,” here, lol… Tha 2nd verse iz good,
here, and I don’t mind all tha “money” shit, for some reason… My Rating: 3.9
04.
“Police”
>>> “Slot machines” suck and have bad odds! That’s why, it’s all about
Blackjack or Roulette! Catchy beat, and tha hook (wit dat voice) ain’t too bad…
Good rhymes durin’ tha 1st verse, here; I think this iz catchy… Tha
2nd verse iz nice, too; always a paranoid Marcelo. :( My Rating: 4.3
05.
“Writing’s On Da Wall” Feat. Fiend
>>>
Great start wit tha beat, and Fiend kickin’ off tha 1st verse! Tha
hook sounds good, too, strictly stayin’ motivated… Tha 2nd verse
sounds good from you, too; it’s all about readin’ tha “writing” that’s “on tha
wall.” I guess tha real title’s “Writing’s On Da Wall”? That’s what DatPiff
says, but tha back cover says, “Written In The Wall”? Yuck @ tha 15 seconds of
silence at tha end… My Rating: 4.3
06.
“Joyride”
>>> Nice beat, and tha verses sound good, here. Glad you keepin’ it
hood at all times! My Rating: 4.0
07.
“2nd To None”
>>> Not anotha “Backstabbers” song… At least it’s just a beat sample
and a “what they do” part. Tha verse ain’t too bad, here, and tha singer on tha
hook’s not bad, but not listed… My
Rating: 3.6
½time: So far, so good. Sounds
like every joint sounds good and consistent! A 4-star CD, currently!
08.
“Fly With Us” Feat. Curren$y
>>>
Tha beat’s decent, here, but I’m likin’ tha coughin’ in tha beginning… Not bad
wit tha rhymes, here, and Curren$y comes through wit some consistent rhymes. My Rating: 3.8
09.
“JetLife General”
This one came up as #08 on tha DatPiff tracklisting, but I’m goin’ wit tha
cover and makin’ this #09… >>> Beat’s aight; rhymes are good… Short
and sweet, at least. My Rating: 3.7
10.
“Celebration” Feat. Skip & B3
>>> Sounds okay, once again. These beats are startin’ ta be decent for
me, and not standin’ out… Tha 1st verse’s good wit tha rhymes; let’s
see how it continues… Skip on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through
wit some good rhymes. Let’s see what gon remain wit B3 for the 3—verse, that iz, lol! Okay, much betta ta hear a voice like
this, right now! Sounds like a big bodyguard, ready ta be resistant to P.A.N.z!
My Rating: 3.9
11.
“Cruise Control” Feat. Corner Boy P
>>> Beat sounds jazzy, here; nice ta rap on! Good job wit tha 1st
verse, here… Damn, tha back cover ain’t list Corner Boy P on tha feature? Good
thing for this DatPiff tracklisting… Seems like a really-good “smell” in tha
“car” during tha 2nd verse; I feel dat! My Rating: 4.2
12.
“Roll Weed” Feat. Dee Low
I
know of Beelow, so who this Dee Low dude iz? Tha DatPiff tracklisting says he
goes by “The Diamond Man”? >>> Beat sounds regular; nothin’ special,
but tha rhymes are aight, here, on tha 1st verse… LOL @ tha 2nd
verse, which iz a descriptive introduction to this “Mary [Keyshia] Jane” girl…
Catchy verse! My Rating: 3.8
13.
“Friends With Benefits”
>>> Now, we get some
coughin’? Sounds okay for tha start, here… Really just wantin’ tha “benefits,”
here, on tha hook… Hearin’ tha verses, and this iz okay, overall… My Rating: 3.5
14.
“Crazy World” Feat. Jason Lyric & Jerkaman
Nice
collab ta end this off? >>> Beat sounds nice, here, on a slightly-dark
tip… Tha 1st verse sounds good, stayin’ “fly.” Singin’s aight on tha
hook… Got tha lyrical Lyric on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit
some good rhymes; not bad… Jerkaman on tha 3rd verse (DatPiff has
them in tha correct order, while they’re in tha wrong order on tha back cover).
This sounds pretty good, too; nice job wit tha collab! My Rating: 4.1
Overall: Nice lil’ CD, overall;
this qualifies as a good CD fa me, so nice job, Celo!
