Here
goes my review for Devious All The Devious Things I Did,
released in 1998 on Unity Entertainment. Reviewin’ this one on Long Island, NY,
so I can keep tha reviewz up… This my 33rd day in a row reviewin’! Start Time: 10:17 AM | End Time: 11:39 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!

½ of tha 1st verse’s pretty consistent wit tha rhymes, here! Hearin’

06.
“If Bein’ Black Is Wrong” feat. Top
>>>
I’m really feelin’ tha “black” vs. “white” topic, here! Crazy-ass lyrics!! Even

review, lol? Crazy shit about tha “keys” on tha “piano,” too!! Tha hook sounds
jammin’ & catchy, too! This how a lyrical song should sound!! Take notes,
y’all!! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it ain’t on tha level as you on
tha 1st verse, but it’s still good… Almost thought there was gon be
a 3rd verse, here! Only two!! My

07.
“Even Though” feat. Scott, Wayne & T-Mann
>>>
A slower vibe, here, on tha beat & hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse

“Like Father, Like Son” feat. T-Mann
>>>
Sounds like a dope hook & chill beat! Almost reminded me of an ambient beat
in tha beginning… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ nice,
here, wit tha rhymes… And, tha 2nd verse ain’t bad, here… It’s like,
how did we get in this paranoid, eerie life we’re livin’ in, today? And, tha 3rd
verse’s pretty dope, too… My Rating: 3.9
10.
“Hey P-Poppers” feat. Jisaidie & Lil’ Trap
Wonder
if Lil’ Trap secretly knew about tha term, “trap,” or, “tha trap,” back in ’98?
>>> Kinda a dry beat, here, but still nice ta hear… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and it’s nice… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s ehh, decent at its finest…
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it ain’t bad, here… We got tha 3rd
verse up next and it’s decent, here… Even got a 4th verse, here,
from Jisaidie, soundin’ decent to hear, as well… Damn, this still goin’, lol!
Lil’ Trap on tha 5th verse, here, only “12 years-old!” That’s how
old I was when I started doin’ my daily top 10 countdowns, which I still do
today! Wonder what Lil’ Trap up to, now? Good verse, tho… Beat coulda been
betta, since it dragged, a lil’… My
Rating: 3.5

“Never Satisfied”
Ridin’

here, soundin’ dope, too! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s dope wit
what y’all bringin’ to tha table, here… Here we are wit tha consistent-ass
rappin’, once again! Props! That’s real about tha “birthday / death date”
thing, when it comes to “party” & “retaliation!” My Rating: 4.3

pretty nice… My Rating: 4.0
16.
“Livin’ Dead” feat. Mut
>>>
A laidback lil’ tune, here… Sounds like a nice hook and beat, here… If Tony
Hawk’s Pro Skater had an undaground, chill-rap soundtrack, this would be on it,
lol! Let’s just skate ta this, ya dig, lol?! Hearin’ tha 1st verse
and you sound good/consistent, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s
soundin’ decent, here, as y’all keep it movin’, here… And, we got tha 3rd
verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear, as well… My Rating: 3.7
17.
“Six Shots (The Cypher)” feat. Gangsta Foots of Too Solid, The Wizard, Top, Dre
of Raw Culture & Maximus Supreme
>>>
Now, this sounds like some nice, undaground trip-hop in tha beginning beat,
here! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty dope wit what’s bein’
spit, here! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse and it’s nice, too!
Definitely some dope shit! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it’s nice ta
hear, as well! Hearin’ tha 4th verse and it’s dope; feelin’ these
rhymes… I’ono how much I can stay interested in tha plain beat, but let’s keep
it movin’… Hearin’ tha 5th verse and it sounds nice and consistent,
here… And, “tha 6th shot to hip-hop,” a.k.a. tha “6th”
verse iz here and I’m diggin’ tha voice wit these consistent rhymes! Almost
like Biggie-like rhymin’ toward tha final 30 seconds, here? Dope shit! And, it
ended outta nowhere, too… My Rating: 4.2
Overall: I thought this was a nice
lil’ CD… You definitely know how to rap well & you got some nice,
undaground product, here! Good shit! Keep up tha great work, ya dig?
