Review #1,902: Silkk The Shocker "Made Man"

Reviewed on 12.25.2019 (Review #1,902)


Here comes anotha review: Silkk The Shocker Made Man, released in 1999 on No Limit Records & Priority Records…! Start Time: 5:20 PM | End Time: 6:50 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!

Link To CD: N/A


01. “The Day I Was Made”
Producer: O’Dell
>>> Sounds like an okay intro, here… Sounds like spoken-word rappin’, here? Bad flow; barely wanted to pay attention…! My Rating: 2.1


02. “Somebody Like Me” feat. Mýa
Producer: Whole Records
>>> Interestin’ collab; I always thought Mýa was a hottie…! Great job wit her on tha hook; she definitely provides tha singin’ nicely! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s okay wit your rhymes; sounds like you wanna speak more than rap, tho? Likin’ Mýa’s background vocals, every now & then…! Tha 2nd verse not bad but I can’t believe I like tha singin’ tha most outta tha track, here! That’s a rare feat! Mýa sounds like INOJ “Love You Down” when she sings, “You really are too ghetto fa me;” sounds good… Once again, Silkk, if you coulda had a betta flow, I woulda liked this betta… I’ll give it tha benefit of tha doubt & give it a flat 4.0, at least… My Rating: 4.0


03. “It Ain’t My Fault 2” feat. Mystikal
Producer: Craig B
My Current Rating: 4.5


04. “Ghetto Rain” feat. Master P & O’Dell
Producer: Craig B
>>> Tha beat a lil’ soft fa me, here… Hearin’ tha hook from O’Dell & it cool fa singin’; not too bad… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from P & it’s pretty straight-forward; nice aggression… Here you are on tha 2nd verse & I’m not feelin’ this spoken-word rappin’! It’s like you got tha Mr. Serv-On curse, smh! I do feel tha “you see me smilin’? I’m just camouflagin’ my problems” line, as that’s what I’m goin’ through, right nah. People don’t know what I’m goin’ through, so they only see tha positives, fa now… My Rating: 2.4


05. “This Is 4 My”
Producer: KLC
>>> Beat sounds good; rhymes on tha 1st verse good & tha flow’s just a touch betta… Tha hook str8; I fucks wit it, even tho I’m not too crazy wit how this sounds, overall… Tha 2nd verse okay; I gotta get mo used ta you, I guess? My Rating: 3.4


06. Commercial One
>>> Ouch @ tha “real name;” nice lil’ commercial… My Rating: N/A


07. “You Know What We ‘Bout” feat. Jay-Z & Master P
Producer: Craig B
>>> Sounds like an anthemic beat & hook, here; let’s see how tha verses go… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & it ehh/okay; I guess it flows, right? Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on from Jigga, here… I may not like him but he sound good wit this contribution, here; nice job, Jigga… Got tha 3rd verse from P, here, soundin’ nice; good shit, I guess? He “run this like drug money,” accordin’ ta tha success of No Limit… “Pass tha weed ‘cause souljaz like to…;” you know what it iz! I’m a tru soulja, most definitely! My Rating: 3.8


08. “I Want To Be With You” feat. O’Dell
Producer: KLC & O’Dell
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ call; a lil’ bit of fuck action finna pop off? Sounds like she sick of you & tha “studio,” here; she wanna “shop,” instead? I’ono but let’s see how y’all do wit this track… Hearin’ tha beat & it sounds good; almost sounds like it goes wit Christmas, despite today bein’ Christmas? Tha hook sounds catchy wit O’Dell, this time; good shit… Got tha 1st verse from you & it decent; I’ll just say dat. Tha 2nd verse from you sounds okay, as well; I guess it’s just tha way you rap wit this flow? Tha rest consists of hooks & O’Dell singin’; not bad, tho kinda below-average fa me… My Rating: 3.1


09. “All Because Of You” feat. Mia X
Producer: KLC
>>> Sounds like an okay hook & beat, here; not much ta say… Mia on tha 1st verse, here, comin’ through wit some okay/good rhymes… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from you & it’s ehh… Also, tha beat sounds annoying with tha mixin’ & beatboxin’; doesn’t mix well? My Rating: 2.6


10. “No Limit” feat. Fiend & Mystikal
Producer: KLC
>>> “N-O-L-I-M-I-T” fa tha hook, here; anthemic & nice, this time…! Fiend + You = $ucce$$, or should I say, “N-O-L-I-M-I-T!” Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you & it str8; sounds good wit tha aggression… Diggin’ Mystikal’s short appearance but why so minimal? My Rating: 4.2


½time: Not really goin’ as great as I thought this would go… Your flow doesn’t impress me, most of tha time; gotta work on it! Your features do help you out, at times, especially Mystikal; a 3.3-rated CD, so far…


11. “End Of The Road” feat. Sons Of Funk
Producer: Sons Of Funk
>>> Sounds slow & spoken-wordish on tha 1st verse, here…; I’ono… Hearin’ tha hook wit tha SoF singin’ & it’s not that great fa me; no sad songs…! Keepin’ tha 2nd verse goin’ on wit tha sadness; sucks, especially when you wish “it was [you],” in tha “casket.” Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & I don’t really have any comments ta continue wit this one… My Rating: 1.9


12. “We Won’t Stop” feat. Master P & C-Murder
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> Beat sounds okay, here… Hearin’ tha hook from P & it sounds good wit P reppin’ fa his “tank’s in tha wall” & tha movement… Keepin’ it movin’ wit P on tha 1st verse & it sounds good… Got tha 2nd verse from C, here, soundin’ good; felt short but I’m glad he contributed… Hearin’ you on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through wit some betta-soundin’ shit; good aggression, too… My Rating: 4.1


13. “Mr. ‘99”
Producer: KLC
>>> You’re tha “Mr.” throughout tha 1st verse, here; nice, includin’ tha okay-soundin’ beat, too… Tha hook blends in nicely wit tha track, thanx ta all these “mista” parts; good job… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it str8; nothin’ else ta really say… My Rating: 3.7


14. “It Takes More” feat. Ghetto Commission
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> Sounds good wit tha hook & beat, here; nothin’ but Louisiana music I’m drownin’ in, these dayz! Gotta luv it, as I’m progressin’ wit my work ethic…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good wit tha GC; good shit…! Mo GC shit on tha 2nd verse, here, keepin’ this N.L.-for-tha-N.O. shit comin’! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & I’m feelin’ tha aggression. Glad this has nothin’ slackin’ wit it; true No Limit shit, here! My Rating: 4.3


15. “If It Don’t Make $”
Producer: DJ Whop
>>> Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it str8; beat decent ta rap on, too, wit some nice bass… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s your typical “if it don’t make $, then it don’t make sense” shit; not bad… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it str8, as well; a decent lil’ track, here… My Rating: 3.5


16. “It’s Going Around Outside” feat. Rico of Sons Of Funk
Producer: Rico
>>> Sounds dry & sappy, here; not feelin’ tha singin’ vibe on tha 1st verse… Then, your spoken-word rhymes come, here; does it even fit right fa a rap song?? Can’t feel it; sounds more like it shoulda been an outro… My Rating: 1.2


17. “Put It On Something” feat. Mia X
Producer: Craig B
>>> Beat str8; hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & this flow ain’t fa me, speakin’ & shit… Hearin’ tha hook & it aight; fuck tha liarz & just do you! Hearin’ Mia on tha 2nd verse & it str8 fa this below-average track… Got you on tha 3rd verse, here, keepin’ that spoken shit goin’… My Rating: 2.0


18. Commercial Two
>>> Sounds okay wit this chick speakin’… I like how you flip “It Ain’t My Fault” into “it ain’t my type,” here; nice…! My Rating: N/A


19. “Southside Niggas” feat. Master P & C-Murder
Producer: Mo B. Dick
>>> Beat nice & hype, here; feelin’ what’s goin’ on… C on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some nice shit fa tha No Limit fam… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds nice; all about tha “southside” representation…! Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse & this sounds betta fa tha spoken-word shit; not bad… Mo shit from you, here, on tha 3rd verse? Did I miss P? I’ono but I guess he blended in here, somewhere… My Rating: 3.9


20. “Get It Up” feat. Snoop Dogg
Producer: Beats By The Pound
>>> Sounds good fa this west vs. south beat, here… Snoop on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some nice flava fa you, here; good shit… Hearin’ Snoop on tha hook & yeah, dis dat No Limit party, here; nice…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds good wit you, here; not bad wit tha flow, as well…! Got you on tha 3rd verse, wit some Snoop parts & it sounds nice; nice lil’ endin’ track, overall… My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Fell below tha average mark, as far as my ratings go… Didn’t really like your flow, as it was more on tha spoken-word/Mr. Serv-On tip, here… Some of your features were able ta help you out but fa tha most part, a bunch of shit didn’t fit on here…

01. Forever My Life: The Beginning
Producer: Craig B & O’Dell
>>> Nice wishes to those that are “forever [your] life;” good intro… My Rating: N/A


02. “Tank Nigga” feat. C-Murder, Fiend, Kane, Abel, Lil’ Soldiers & Mia X
Producer: KLC
>>> Definitely luvin’ tha gutta-ass hook! Aggression at its finest!! Luvin’ this 1st verse, too, as it’s quick, consistent, gutta-ass rhymin’!! Nice job, especially wit this No Limit-type beat! Got C on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit his dope shit; definitely nice! Tha guttaness continues wit tha gritty-ass 2nd part of tha 2nd verse; gotta luv it! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse, soundin’ nice & No Limitty; good shit! Why tha Lil’ Soldiers feature on tha 2nd part of tha 3rd verse? Doesn’t even fit… Other Lil’ Soldier on tha 3rd part of tha verse; ick… Shout out ta Master P fa executive-producin’ this CD; it’s official! Mia X on tha 4th verse, here, comin’ through wit a nice, gutta vibe; you know what it iz! Also, tha 2nd part of tha 4th verse’s pretty dope, too; all focused, here! Oh wait, with only 32 seconds left, Kane & Abel goin’ off on tha 5th verse, here!! Every1 went off, here! Prevented it to be higher than a 4.5, tho, due to tha Lil’ Soldiers feature… My Rating: 4.5


03. “Boot ‘Em Up” feat. Fiend & Mystikal
Producer: KLC
>>> Definitely hype & focused, here; gotta feel it! Hook off tha chain; let’s do dis!! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty hype; aggression at its finest!! Likin’ tha random chick that was countin’ ta “6,” before tha 2nd verse started; nice addition…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s soundin’ pretty nice, here; keep bein’ focused…! Dope-ass Mystikal on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through wit his 100%-hyped-up-ass, here; gotta luv it! My Rating: 4.6


04. “From N.Y. To N.O.” feat. Big Punisher
Producer: KLC
Big Pun! But also, that title’s me, all tha way! >>> Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse ova this nicely-produced beat from KL & it’s soundin’ good. Sometimes, your delivery sounds more like a spoken-word style than rappin’, I must say… “New Orleans; shit iz doper than morphine;” nice, Pun! Hearin’ Pun on tha 2nd verse & I’m luvin’ his consistency; definitely a plus, to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.3


05. “F.U. Serv”
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> Sounds like an anthemic beat, as well as tha “back up off me” hook & title part; good shit! Hearin’ what you got on tha 1st verse, here & you goin’ off; nice job! Tha 2nd verse sounds dope, as well, even tho this spoken-word flow kinda throws me off… My Rating: 4.2


06. “Murder” feat. Magic
Producer: Ke’noe
>>> Beat sounds nice; sounds like it gon be a hyped-up collab…? Beat’s slower than tha faster hype but this shit’s definitely nice fa tha streetz, here…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty dope; good shit… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & it’s str8, except for some of tha spoken-word flowin’… Tha hyped-up Magic on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit his tightness; luv his aggression at all times!! Got you on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through wit tha yada-yada-yada-yada…; it iz what it iz, I guess? My Rating: 4.2


07. “I Hate The Way I Live”
Producer: Craig B
>>> Sounds like a depressin’-type song? An okay hook; I prolly won’t feel it as much, especially wit tha expected spoken-word flow… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & yeah, it’s blah, blah, blah; next…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & yeah, this one’s just as storytellin’ as tha 1st verse; not much interest in me… Damn, an outro about 100 seconds long? Oh wait, this ain’t an outro; it’s tha 3rd verse! Duh, Frankie!! My Rating: 2.7


08. “Best Friend II” feat. C-Murder & Dorian
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> Sounds good wit C on tha hook about this “lady” he calls his “best friend;” good shit! Here comes tha 1st verse from you & it’s a lil’ betta. I still think you should work on that flow, tho! Like, you don’t harmonize off tha beat at any times!! Got C rappin’ on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit dat good shit, even fa tha females, here; nice! Here you are on tha 3rd verse, as well, comin’ through wit some decent shit; not bad… My Rating: 4.1


09. “1, 2, 3”
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> Tha hook sounds a lil’ catchy, as well as C-Los’ beat; good shit…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it cool, even fa your typical flow, here… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here & it sounds good fa what it iz… I think your beats make you sound hotter than your raps, at this point? My Rating: 4.0


10. “Straight Outta N.O.” feat. C-Murder & Magic
Producer: Craig B
>>> Sounds good wit C on tha 1st verse, here, as well as tha hyped-up beat! Tha hook’s pretty hype; what an anthem! Just like “Straight Outta Compton,” here you are on tha 2nd verse, “Straight outta uptown!” Feelin’ your flow this time, even tho it still sounds like fast talkin’… Ooh, Magic want a “blunt” & he want it “rolled;” nice! He “straight outta downtown,” here; nice, as well! He doin’ his thang on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit dat hype! Gotta feel it!! Luvin’ tha “uptown/downtown” shit toward tha final minute; gotta luv it! Keep makin’ dat bread…, together! My Rating: 4.6


11. “Snatch Them Hoez Up” feat. Mia X
Producer: Mo B. Dick
>>> Sounds pretty nice, here; feelin’ tha hype! Beat’s on point, as well as tha hyped-up hook! Gotta be in fa tha crowd, as well as in tha crowd! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & it sounds nice, here; likin’ this flow betta, as you have more than just talkin’, here… Mia on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some nice shit; glad y’all all anthemic, here! My Rating: 4.3


½time: Despite most of your flows of bein’ a spoken-word sound, I’m feelin’ tha consistent set of anthems, here! It’s all about tha hype, tha aggression, tha No Limit power! A 4.2-rated CD, so far; keep it up!


12. “My Homies” feat. Sons Of Funk
Producer: Rico
>>> A slow, sad-soundin’ track; I’ono, here, includin’ tha singin’ hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s ehh; can’t tolerate tha speakin’… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it aight…; I feel tha whole anti-“free” thing about bein’ tha “bird.” It’s like, with what I’m goin’ through right nah, I don’t feel “free” till I have 100% of my freedom back! Now, we got a 1:11-long outro; it’s an okay wish… My Rating: 2.5


13. “This Is For My Niggaz” feat. Ghetto Commission
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> Sounds a lil’ more upbeat than tha last song… Feelin’ what C-Los providin’ wit this laidback beat, as it sounds like you can shmoke a good one ta this slow vibe…! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & it’s aight; not too crazy ‘bout tha flow… Likin’ how tha hook dedicated ta tha “dawgs” & shit; good shit! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from tha GC click & it sounds nice; feelin’ their flow/aggression more than yours, here…! Got tha 3rd verse goin’ on, here & it str8; not too bad of a track, overall… My Rating: 3.3


14. “Freaky Dreams” feat. O’Dell
Producer: O’Dell
>>> Anotha slow jam but for tha ladies, this time… Hearin’ tha hook and it ehh; not really inta dis… Even down to tha 1st verse, here; sounds like it’s draggin’… O’Dell, that was long of a hook/verse/hook; over two minutes! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from you, Serv-On & it ehh…; this flow lacks, once again…! My Rating: 1.8


15. “Make ‘Em Bleed”
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> A short one, here…; nice beat & okay hook, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good wit your more-aggressive flow, I must say… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s soundin’ nice; all you needed was a lil’ aggression, at times…! Nice shout out ta “DMX,” as well, about “Hell” bein’ “hot!” My Rating: 4.1


16. “Hit The Block”
Producer: O’Dell
>>> Okay beat, here; I’ono about this flow on tha 1st verse, tho… Hearin’ tha hook and it str8 wit tha whole hittin’ “tha block;” not bad… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse & it’s ehh…; just can’t tolerate tha flow…! My Rating: 3.5


17. “Strap Up” feat. Fiend
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> Sounds a lil’ betta than tha previous track…; hook & 1st verse ain’t too bad, here, ova this southern beat… Got Fiend on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit his aggressive flow/verse; definitely feelin’ it! Great lil’ contribution & lol, “Bitch, I’m from Baton Rouge;” really? “Bitch, I’m from Louisville…;” “bitch, I’m from Birmingham…;” “bitch, I’m from Mississippi;” I figured! It’s just N.O., basically; just shout outs… “Bitch, I’m from Shreveport;” how about Hawaii, lol? My Rating: 3.8


18. “I’ll Be There” feat. Ms. Peaches
Producer: O’Dell
>>> Sounds like a sad track; not sure what tha rating gon be… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s ehh; too sad wit Peaches singin’ & you appearin’… Hearin’ you speakin’ on tha 1st verse & it’s rough ta hear; hate hearin’, especially wit my situation goin’ on…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & I don’t have a comment on it… My Rating: 2.1


19. “My Story” feat. KLC
Producer: KLC
>>> Sounds like it okay wit this decent/good-soundin’ rap beat & KL on tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you & it’s soundin’ okay wit your usual flow… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it ain’t bad, here; just yada-yada-yada, basically… God, a 3rd verse? Just draggin’, at this point… My Rating: 2.4


20. “I Luv It”
Producer: Mo B. Dick
>>> Sounds like an okay intro & verse… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s str8; this relaxin’ & quick, luckily… Oh wait, a 2nd verse ta end it off, quickly; not bad… My Rating: 3.6


21. “The Last Song” feat. O’Dell
Producer: Mark In The Dark, Craig B & KLC
>>> An okay beat & hook, here; more on tha sad side…? Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & it’s ehh… Tha 2nd verse sounds like more talkin’; barely payin’ attention ta what’s goin’ on… A 3rd verse, here…; this track ain’t fa me at all… Tha final hook sounds like it’s startin’ ta be all off-beat & shit… My Rating: 1.5


22. Forever My Life: The End
Producer: Craig B & O’Dell
>>> No comment on tha outro, here; just keep thinkin’ positive! My Rating: N/A


Overall: Not feelin’ your flow throughout this whole CD; gonna have ta work on it! Your features & producers mainly helped you out, here…; that’s all I have ta say.

Review #1,883: Master P Presents No Limit All-Stars "Who U Wit?"

Reviewed on 12.20.2019 (Review #1,883)


Keepin’ this shit goin’: Master P Presents No Limit All-Stars Who U Wit?, released in 1999 on No Limit Records & Priority Records! This my next review! Start Time: 6:47 AM | End Time: 7:40 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Master P “B-Ball”
Producer: MP
>>> Oh boy, like Bow Wow did in ’02 wit this “Basketball” shit/sample; okay, for tha hook… Let’s see how you turn this song into yours, here… Verses seem okay fa you, here; nothin’ special & cheesy, overall… My Rating: 3.0


02. Fiend “Cold Wid It”
Producer: KLC
>>> Beat sounds nice, here, as well as tha aggressive 1st verse from Fiend, here; good shit…! Tha hook’s pretty nice, here, as Fiend brings tha heat at all times, it seems like! Mo shit on tha 2nd verse, here, layin’ it down!! My Rating: 4.3


03. Ghetto Commission “Give Me The Rock”
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> Beat ain’t too bad, here; sounds good ta lay rhymes on… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good; hold it down…! Tha hook sounds nice & on an R&B tip wit this singin’; flows nicely… Tha 2nd verse sounds nice ta hear, as well; that “whistle” caught me off-guard! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse, here; sounds good… My Rating: 3.7


04. Magic “You Ain’t A Baller”
Producer: KLC
>>> Sounds like a dope hook; beat’s pretty hype, too! Goes well with Christmas time bein’ here, right? Sounds like bells, as well as Magic deliverin’ his magic, on tha 1st verse! Mo aggression comin’ outta tha 2nd verse, here; keep it goin’, Magic! My Rating: 4.4


05. C-Murder “B-Ballin’ On My Block”
Producer: KLC
>>> Sounds like a nice beat; this betta “B-Ballin’” than P’s “B-Ball”, lol… Nice job wit tha hook, C, as well as how you always bring your gutta rhymes! Tha 1st verse bangin’ fa tha streetz, here…! Anotha track wit a long outro, here… Did I miss somethin’? No 2nd verse? My Rating: 4.2


06. Snoop Dogg “Hoop Dreams (He Got Game)”
Producer: Meech Wells
>>> Beat sounds like “west coast smooth,” as I shall call it; cool lil’ beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Snoop & it’s cool; I fucks wit it… Well, I thought I fucked wit it but not just Snoop not bein’ a Louisianimal but that this verse just drags on makes me not fuck wit it too much… My Rating: 2.7


07. Mia X “Such A Bad Girl”
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> Beat ain’t bad, here… Hearin’ Mia on tha 1st verse & it’s soundin’ good; what else can she offer? Tha hook’s ehh…; just sounds like a decent track that could fall below average fa me? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it aight; nothin’ ta really say… Tha rest iz ehh; what’s with all tha one-minute outros on these tracks? My Rating: 3.3


08. Mac “Put Me In The Game”
Producer: Beats By The Pound
>>> Just a regular-soundin’ beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & at least this has consistent rhymes; betta than tha last two songs, so far… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s all about tha “game,” here; much betta than Snoop’s “game!” Got tha 2nd verse & it sounds nice wit what Mac bringin’, once again; good shit! My Rating: 4.0


½time: Some are great, while some lack in my interest… Overall, a 3.7-rated compilation, so far; let’s keep tha tight tracks comin’!


09. Big Ed “I’m Hot”
Producer: Beats By The Pound
>>> Anotha regular-soundin’ beat; nothin’ sparkin’ too much wit these beats… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s regular rappin’ fa me; nothin’ of special interest… Hearin’ tha hook and I’m feelin’ tha “uh oh” shit; feelin’ Ed’s fiya… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here & it’s okay; keep it goin’—oh wait, a long outro’s here! My Rating: 3.6


10. Mr. Serv-On “Smash & Ball”
Producer: Beats By The Pound
>>> Anotha track about ballin’, lol! Almost sounds like P in tha background of tha hook, here; nice anthem! Hot lil’ hook; Serv-On got tha heat! Tha hype! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s dope; good job, Serv-On! Sounds like an okay 2nd verse, tho I’m feelin’ tha energy more than tha lyrics… My Rating: 4.3


11. Silkk The Shocker & Mystikal “It Ain’t My Fault 2”
Producer: Craig B
>>> Great sequel to tha original; nice hook, includin’ Mystikal’s anticipatin’ energy! At this moment, luvin’ Trouble & Boosie’s “Ain’t My Fault”; Boosie’s fuckin’ energetic aggression! As we speak, here comes Mystikal on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit tha N’awlinz version of that energetic aggression; definitely nice!! Silkk on tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ nice wit his energy; I give him props… My Rating: 4.5


12. Reginelli & P’heno “Shake ‘Em Off”
Producer: O’Dell
>>> Beat’s a lil’ betta than a regular-soundin’ one…; an okay/good hook fa tha “game,” here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it str8, so far… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it aight, too; not too bad, overall, as this was a quick joint… My Rating: 3.7


13. Lil’ Soldiers “Bring It 2 U”
Producer: KLC
>>> Oh God, these guys are back… Hearin’ tha beat & it’s regular, even tho I swear it sounds like basketballz bouncin’, lol! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s ehh…; it’s kids rappin’… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here & it’s middle school, y’all! My Rating: 2.5


14. 2 For 1 “Pass Me The Ball”
Producer: Beats By The Pound
>>> Oh boy, it’s chicks…; this track about tha “ball” sounds a lil’ catchy on tha hook, tho repetitive… Tha beat ain’t bad & tha 1st verse has some energy, here… If I called these people “chicks,” I could also mean youngins like tha Lil’ Soldiers… Either way, 2nd verse doesn’t do much fa me, here… My Rating: 2.9


15. Snoop Dogg, Fiend & Mystikal “Woof”
Producer: MP & Craig B
>>> Lol, now, it’s all about a dog bark; catchy hook & betta beat! Hearin’ Fiend on tha 1st verse, here, comin’ through wit his hype! Oh boy, if he’s got this much hype, I can’t wait ta hear Mystikal!! Oh boy, Mystikal’s on tha 2nd verse!! That A+ aggression!! That A+ energy!! Tha most-energetic in tha N.O./Boot?! Him & Level from Baton Rouge got tha most! Got Snoop on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through, “blowin’ on doe doe,” as he says; dope! My Rating: 4.6


16. Master P “B-Ball”
Producer: MP
I’m assumin’ this a radio edit, despite not bein’ labeled that way? Either way: See #1 fa tha review…


Overall: No Skull Duggrey, my favorite No Limit soulja? Smh… Either way, looked like this was pretty mixed. About half tha CD wasn’t up my alley, while tha other half held it down with energy & aggression. Wonder what’ll be afta this CD, when I get up from sleepin’? Finna go ta sleep till sometime this afternoon, since I got off work at 5:00 AM…

01. “Souljafalyfe”
Producer: KLC
>>> Nice lil’ intro, here; sounds like tha undaground of New York or somethin’… I know this CD’s, like, a Soulja Slim compilation, so these tracks are comin’ from various years… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty dope; Slim, you got this real-ass, gangsta-ass shit on lock! Tha hook’s tha title that just repeats but it’s official; all about tha life of a “soulja!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s official, once again; you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.4


02. “Made For Walkin’” feat. KLC, Warren Mays & Mr. Serv-On
Producer: KLC
I know I know this one but not sure when I reviewed it or heard it… Interestin’ cars, in tha beginning; intense…? Of course, all about tha “souljaz” on tha hook, here; nice, includin’ tha quiet-soundin’ beat… Tha 1st verse’s nice from you; you know what it iz! Tha 2nd verse’s nice ta hear, of course; all about dem “souljaz,” once again…! My Current Rating: 4.3


03. “Powda Bag”
Producer: KLC
My Current Rating: 4.8


04. “Kickin’ It For Them Hoes”
Producer: KLC
>>> This title looks familiar, as well… Okay, I neva reviewed it but I have it on Soulja Fa Lyfe… Of course, beat’s hype & how you hold it down fa “them hoes,” on tha verses & hook, here! My Rating: 4.5


05. “Bitch Nigga” feat. Slugger & Mushatt
Producer: KLC
>>> Anotha one from Soulja Fa Lyfe, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s dope; all about holdin’ it down fa your streetz & tha streetz! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s soundin’ nice from you; keep this G-shit up! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, soundin’ great, too; good shit… Luvin’ how gutta and street tha dude on tha 3rd verse sounds; you can hear dem roots in tha voice! Got you on tha endin’, here, chantin’ for dem “BN”s; good shit! My Rating: 4.5


06. “You Got It” feat. 6 Shot
Producer: KLC
My Current Rating: 4.7


07. “Trife Life” (6 Shot, Corey “C” & Lil’ Shaw)
Producer: Big Ro
>>> Nice gangsta-soundin’ beat fa tha ‘90s, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty nice… Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice, as well as tha hook; good shit fa da “trife” livin’… Tha 3rd verse sounds like some1 else, uncredited? They’re “19, ‘bout ta be 20,” as they say; good lil’ contribution… My Rating: 4.2


08. “Word Up” feat. C-Nille Da Bandit & 6 Shot
Producer: Kreeper
>>> Sounds like a gutta-soundin’ beat fa tha streetz, here; definitely nice…! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & it’s nice… Not much of a hook, here? Still flows nicely, I guess? Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here; gotta luv tha dedication fa tha streetz, here! Nice job, C-Nille! Now, 6 Shot on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit just as much street shit as tha rest of y’all, here; you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.4


09. “Killa Konnections” feat. C-Nille Da Bandit & 6 Shot
Producer: Kreeper
>>> Hook sounds nice; sounds like a great sequel to tha previous track from all three of y’all, on here! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & yeah, I feel tha same way I did for tha lineup, once again! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice ta hear, as well; nothin’ much else ta say… You appear on tha 2nd part of tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some nice street shit, as always…! I like how it went acapella, at some point; dope shit! My Rating: 4.4


10. “Combat” feat. Corey “C” & King Ric
Producer: Hakeem
>>> Beat/vibe sounds a lil’ jammin’ but at tha same time, for tha streetz, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you & you know what it iz wit these streetz; good shit! Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds nice wit King Ric wit tha singin’ about “Combat!” Sounds like tha Corey “C” dude on tha 2nd verse, here… Almost thought it was gon be C-Murder, who was born Corey, lol; N’awlinzness! Anyway, this dude got some good, consistent rhymes goin’ on, here; can’t complain… Got anotha dude on tha 3rd verse, here (this really tha King Ric dude?), soundin’ good fa this beat… I always keep thinkin’ tha dude sayin’, “And, tha BPM…,” on tha hook; random… My Rating: 4.1


11. “Da Heist” (6 Shot, C-Nille Da Bandit & Lil’ Shaw)
Producer: Big Ro
>>> Sounds good; more on tha east coast-soundin’ fa tha beat, once again? I think those two were good enough; rather have tha south! Tha 1st verse not too bad but tha 2nd verse sounds like someone from tha east or somethin’; good but not sinkin’ in my interest… Tha rest sounds okay; I just think I’m done with this non-Louisiana-soundin’ music… My Rating: 3.7


½time: Almost all these tracks are hella dope, here; you know what it iz wit you, Soulja! Just a lil’ thrown off by how tha New York sound randomly comes wit tha production…? Either way, a 4.4-rated CD, so far; keep it up!


12. “Slippin’”
Producer: KLC
My Current Rating: 4.9


13. “Lil’ Bit” feat. Big Reppa & QB1
Producer: KLC
>>> You sound a lil’ like B.G. on tha hook, here; beat’s chill/old-soundin’ fa “’94,” here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you & it cool; likin’ tha Big Band music in tha background, at times…! Got Reppa up next, comin’ through wit some good-soundin’ rhymes, as well; likin’ his vibe ta go wit yours… Iz it me or do these verses seem like they drag? My Rating: 4.0


14. “All I See Is Green” (6 Shot, Kay 9Mil & R.E.G.)
Producer: Big Ro
>>> Sounds okay but this sounds too much like New York, on tha beat… “I’m comin’ from LA;” this don’t sound like you? Maybe, you mean “New Orleans, LA,” rather than “Los Angeles?” I’ono but I think my non-Louisiana mind’s wanderin’… Either way, a decent 1st verse, here… Damn, not even ½way through this? Startin’ ta bore me fast wit this non-Magnolia Slim voice… My Rating: 3.5


15. “Free Up The Cream” (Hype Click)
Producer: Big Ro
>>> Anotha non-Louisiana-soundin’ track… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and tha rhymes sound consistent—fuck! This 6:45? Why? Even tha “Jay-Z” references; yuck! Where’s tha Louisiana vibe?! Accordin’ to tha 2nd verse, this has “S-I-X-S-H-O-T” on tha feature; nice! Like I said, tha consistent lyrics are nice; tha beat ain’t really my style, tho. My Rating: 3.4


16. “How Ya Figga”
Producer: Craig B
>>> Much shorter! This & tha last song’s average length equals, like, two normal songs… Hearin’ you (finally) on tha 1st verse & it sounds nice wit this Jamaican sample in tha background, here; nice… Hook sounds catchy as hell wit how you say tha title; gotta luv tha gangsta shit! Here you are on tha 2nd verse, as you “take a hit off tha blunt;” str8-up soulja shit! My Rating: 4.3


17. “Watch What U Say” (The Cartel)
Producer: Craig B
>>> Sounds nice wit this ‘90s beat… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s nice, as well as what’s goin’ on wit tha verse… Sounds great wit whomever you’re collaboratin’ with… Lol, just cut off, outta nowhere… My Rating: 4.2


18. “All Hail The King” (King Ric)
Producer: Hakeem
>>> “King Ric” from one of tha other—yeah, that’s him on tha verse, here, soundin’ good… My Rating: 4.1


19. “Victim Of The System” (Mista Real)
Producer: Hakeem
>>> This one ain’t you but it sounds good, here… My Rating: 3.8


20. “3rd Ward Convicted Felons” (3.C.F.)
Producer: DJ Tee
>>> Sounds a lil’ quieter on tha vocals, here but still cool… Nice rhymes fa tha verse, here, even tho tha beat back to tha New York shit… My Rating: 3.6


21. “Suck A Dick” (9 M.M.)
Producer: DJ Chill
>>> This one cool; all these last tracks pretty quick… My Rating: 3.9


22. “Bitches Come A Dime A Dozen” (The Black Hand)
Producer: Big Ro
>>> A good lil’ vibe ta end thangz off, here… Feelin’ tha collab, here; good lil’ vibe… My Rating: 4.0


Overall: Great job wit this one…! Didn’t realize all of what tha IDs of some of tha people were on here till I looked on Discogs… I updated tha info, now; should look good.
