Happy
39th Birthday ta my round, from P.I.R.’s click, Dre Tree Z! With
that bein’ said, let’s review some quality, old Louisiana music! Dirty Red & Lil’ Bay, anotha release from them called Tryin’
To Get In, released in 1995 on FrayserClick Records & produced by
DJ Sound! Start Time: 9:04 AM | End Time: 9:46 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!

01.
“Intro”
>>>
Ooh, sounds like it can be a track! Diggin’ this dark, grimy sound in tha
beginning! Reminds me of Three 6 Mafia “Tear Da Club Up”, wit how y’all deliver
tha beginning part! I know y’all were before their anthem, but that’s what it
reminds me of… Definitely feelin’ all these repeatin’ parts! Tha rappin’ sounds
nice ta hear, here… My Rating: 4.5
02.
“Pop In Them Clips”
>>>
Beat’s pretty anthemic and consistent wit those keys and dark vibe!! Tha hook’s
pretty intense! I swear, Three 6 Mafia could’ve jacked their old style from
y’all! That’s what it reminds me of! Holy, fuckin’ intensity in tha 1st
verse, here!! Fast rappin’ and those keys are too intense!!! This gotta
be perfectly-rated from me!! Hook’s pretty nice; didn’t even need ta be dat
long! Let’s just keep tha rhymes goin’!! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’
excellent, too, just like tha 1st verse!! My Rating: 5.0
03.
“Wake Up & Open Yo Eyes”
!!
>>> This sounds excellent, too! If I had ta describe these beats, I’d
describe ‘em as “Louisiana Nintendo!” Gotta play dem throwback games while
listenin’ to/reviewin’ these CDs!! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s definitely tha
shit! It’s tha truth! Gotta keep dem “eyes” “open!” Tha 1st verse’s
pretty nice, here; feelin’ tha content! It’s all about keepin’ it gangsta, but
that’s a law! It’s not just an attribute! Y’all definitely have been tha best outta everything I’ve reviewed,
recently, outta all tha old CDs in tha last week! Y’all go great wit dem
Graveyard Soldjas! My Rating: 4.7
04.
“I’m Just A Husler”
>>>
Sounds like a scary, clown-like, gat-rattlin’ intro, here! Good shit and tha
beat sounds nice! Tha 1st verse’s soundin’ like it’s goin’ great!
Great job deliverin’ this shit! Tha hook sounds nice; kinda sounds like it has
a lil’ bit of a current sound ta it, in tha lyrics: “All about tha money,
mane!” However, it ain’t wack like most of tha current shit out, now! Hearin’
tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice; consistent rhymin’
about dat livin’! Good job wit tha 3rd verse, here! Sounds like a
young Gucci Mane, like, a 2004 one, lol… However, this sounds betta… My Rating: 4.4
05.
“Comin’ Up In Tha Game”
Not
so long? Let’s see… >>> Quality’s kinda ehh with tha audio but I can
feel this undaground, crazy vibe, of course! Hearin’ tha 1st verse
and this shit’s official! G-shit at its finest!! Tha beat’s pretty hot;
definitely feelin’ tha undaground intensity! Tha hook’s pretty nice; definitely
feelin’ it! That voice that’s singin’ almost sounds like a joke but it’s
actually pretty tight! See, in today’s world, I’d prolly be like, “WTF wit dat
voice?!? Lower rating!!” However, it sounds perfectly fine fa dis old school
gangsta shit! Tha 2nd verse’s pretty nice, too! Feelin’ it just as
much as tha 1st verse, if not, betta!! My Rating: 4.6
½time: I think this an excellent
release from y’all, once again!! I think I like this betta than tha one I just
reviewed, previously (Blood In, Blood Out);
great job!! A 4.6-rated
CD; keep it goin’!!!
06.
“Young Life, Thug Life”
>>>
This sounds nice! Beat’s a lil’ slower but dat true, gangsta shit, or as I call
it, “Louisiana Nintendo!” Great job wit tha 1st verse, here; feelin’
it! An interlude in tha mist of this? Almost sounds like an outro… However,
here comes a 2nd verse, and it’s ‘bout dat G-shit; nice! Seemed like
a short verse and then, a beat outro came… My
Rating: 4.3
07.
“Straight Gangsta Shit” feat. Bloody Bones
Anticipatin’
tha feature, includin’ this “straight”-up title, lol! >>> Sounds nice…
Tha hook sounds pretty nice, here; nice beat, too! Tha 1st verse
sounds betta; feelin’ tha fast rappin’! Then, around :53, tha beat sounds like
we’re in a jungle, runnin’ wit these rhymes! I feel like that while I’m
explorin’ abandoned areas! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice, here; great
collab! Y’all know what it iz!! My
Rating: 4.4
08.
“If You Cross Me”
! >>> Beat and hook sounds nice, here; gangsta shit at its finest!!
Tha 1st verse’s definitely official! Y’all got this shit on lock!!
Whateva y’all on, altogether, it makes y’all tha undaground supastarz y’all
are!! Really diggin’ tha distorted voice on tha hook; good shit! Tha 2nd
verse’s voice sounds a lil’ regular, but tha rhymes/delivery’s nice, tho… Tha 3rd
verse sounds a lil’ betta; consistent rhymin’ fa tha Gz, here! My Rating: 4.4
09.
“Robbery Shit”
Looks
like tha “shit” I wanna hear! >>> Beat sounds pretty nice in tha
beginning! It’s almost a lil’ mainstream-y with tha sound in tha beginning, but
it’s dat true, undaground shit! Tha hook’s pretty cool, here, wit tha way y’all
deliverin’ it! No hook? It’s all good… Tha 2nd verse sounds nice,
here; y’all rap this shit wit a cool delivery! Ramblin’ and rappin’ and
rattlin’ and runnin’ thangz!! “R”z!!! My
Rating: 4.5
10.
“Tha Game Done Changed Me”
>>>
Sounds like a nice start, here; beat’s nice and tha hook’s pretty nice, fa da
undaground! Tha 1st verse’s comin’ through fast! Feelin’ tha gangsta
shit, as always!! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice, too; sounds great
fa tha CD ending, too! My Rating: 4.3
11.
“What We Gone Do”
Endin’
it with… >>> Sounds nice; feelin’ tha gangsta vibe, of course. Tha
hook sounds simple, but it ain’t bad, of course… Tha 1st verse’s
soundin’ great fa a gangsta’s tale! Everythang in tha ‘90s gangsta’s life:
“Police,” “smokin’ a blunt,” “on a chase,” you name it! It’s all about “what
[y’all] gone do!” And, “as I’m runnin’ fa my life;” crazy shit, of course! Tha
2nd verse’s soundin’ nice! Oh, wow, a long joint! Ain’t realize it
was 6:27 on tha length! Lots of gangsta shit goin’ on in tha 2nd
verse, between shit gettin’ shot at vs. tha phone bein’ dialed! “Tha penalty iz
D-E-A-D-L-Y;” nice! Tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ nice, too… Y’all were killin’ “cops” before all this racism
shit happened, earlier this summer with Alton Sterling! Tha 4th
verse’s soundin’ a lil’ betta wit tha rhymin’; nice that it’s a lil’ faster…
Here comes tha 5th verse; a teenager? Sounds like a youngin… Dude shootin’ and comin’ through like an
on-tha-come-up G, here… Nice job wit tha 6th verse, here, as y’all
just attackin’ “cops,” here… Same thing wit tha 7th verse, here.
However, tha 7th verse sounds betta, as it’s rapped faster and tha
rhymes are more consistent! Crazy shit!! Not bad fa a track wit not many hooks…
Tha outro sounds nice; grimy shit! It’s all about that late-night, red-type
shit! My Rating: 4.2
Overall: I really enjoyed this
shit to tha fullest! Definitely felt tha whole entire CD! Y’all really ‘bout
dat red-and-black gangsta shit, as far as tha rhymes! And, dat “Louisiana
Nintendo,” as far as tha production! DJ Sound definitely got shit on lock!! Nothin’ more grimy than this, it
feels like!! Now, was this betta than tha previous CD, Blood In, Blood Out? We’ll see when tha total score gets released,
below!
