Review #1,871: Legacy "The Bad Guy"

Reviewed on 12.15.2019 (Review #1,871)


Next up, it’s Legacy The Bad Guy, released in 1999 on T-Black Productions. All but tha last track’s produced by T-Black; tha last track’s by Tony…! Start Time: 4:19 PM | End Time: 5:09 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!

02. “Bad Guy”
>>> Sounds like an okay beat wit a nicely-aggressive 1st verse… Feelin’ tha consistent rhymes, to tha fullest; most definitely! Likin’ tha lil’ hook, at times; all about bein’ a “Bad Guy!” Tha rest of this continues in a nice, consistent way; great job… My Rating: 4.2

04. “Taking Your Life”
>>> Beat a lil’ calm but still nice… Hearin’ tha verse and it’s soundin’ good; I’ll give it props. Diggin’ how tha beat picks up & your aggression picks up; definitely nice! Tha hook’s pretty intense, too; luv how this was tha calm before tha storm! My Rating: 4.3


05. “Killer Mob” feat. Mafioso
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ gangsta tale wit this beat & vibe goin’ on… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s good; I give you your props fa your G-shit…! Mafioso joins in 2nd, soundin’ nice ta hear wit his intense-soundin’ rhymes/flow; dope! My Rating: 4.2


06. “Freaky Thoughts” feat. Kathy Cornarge
>>> Samplin’ some old soul music in tha beat, here; let’s see how this goes… Hearin’ tha Kathy chick on tha 1st verse, soundin’ okay; just a regular tone in her voice, here… Got you on tha 2nd part of tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit what you wanna provide fa these ladies; nice… Oh, tha rappin’ seemed like it ended fast? Last minute’s a bunch of orgasmin’ & tha hook… Literally, tha distortion of tha orgasmin’ kinda sounds like a dolphin…! My Rating: 3.7


07. “Fame & Fortune” feat. Stock Market
>>> Sounds good wit this beat & how Stock Market handle tha 1st verse… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s good; I feel what y’all after…! Keepin’ it goin’ wit you on tha 2nd verse, soundin’ good ta hear, here… As this continues wit mo Stock Market shit on tha 3rd verse, this shit’s soundin’ nice wit tha flow/voice; good shit. A 4th verse, here, comin’ through wit some nice shit; consistent, non-stop rhymes! My Rating: 4.2


½time: Sounds like a nice lil’ CD, so far; feelin’ tha dark, intense shit, at times! A 4.0-rated CD, so far; let’s get it!


08. “War Done Start”
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ hook & beat; all about tha “war!” I feel it! I’m in tha mist of one, as we speak! I got dealt my trouble & in tha future, I’ll be granted wit what I deserve! I feel it! Fa now, let’s get these reviewz done… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s pretty dope! I’m really feelin’ how this beat picks up! Almost sounds like “Zombies Ate My Neighbors” music, as tha 1st verse progresses? So dope! Great job wit your rhymes & aggression, as well! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too, as this intense beat continues! My Rating: 4.4


09. “Splurging” feat. Big
>>> Now, on to a semi-plain beat, this time… Got tha 1st verse goin’ on & it sounds okay… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s str8; not much ta say ‘bout this track, tho… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse & it aight, here… Tha rest of this shit ain’t too bad, as y’all keep it movin’… My Rating: 3.5


10. “Stop Hating” feat. Stock Market
>>> Sounds like an okay/plain beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from tha Stock Market and it ain’t too bad; a lil’ boring? Tha hook’s tryna be a lil’ catchy but I don’t feel tha catch, that much… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds good from you, here… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse from mo of tha Stock Market & it str8; nothin’ special… My Rating: 3.1


11. “Say Boo” feat. Stock Market
>>> Beat aight; might be anotha track that’s not special, tho… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it aight; what else could there be…? Tha 2nd verse aight, as well; nothin’ really to comment… Tha 3rd verse has nothin’ special ta offer fa me, also; just a boring track that still has 1:15 left, as I’m 3:30 in! Well, it sounds like just an outro, now… My Rating: 2.8


12. “Work That Thang” feat. Mafioso
>>> An upbeat beat, this time; let’s get it… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sound good fa this upbeat vibe… Tha hook sounds nice with tha upbeat vibe; definitely nice… Got tha 2nd verse from Mafioso, here, comin’ through wit his club-related rhymes; nice… My Rating: 4.0


13. “Precious Daughter” feat. Manny
>>> Sounds like it gon be a boring song fa me; dry-soundin’ singin’ on tha hook, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s whatev…; real-short verse, too… Tha 2nd verse sounds like a lotta dedication you have for your kid. That’s nice, tho this content/vibe ain’t up my alley… I feel tha same way ‘bout tha 3rd verse with how I felt about tha 2nd verse; can’t get into it that much… My Rating: 2.0


14. “Tell Me Why” feat. Leroy
>>> A beat intro that’s :42 long; interestin’… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ okay from Leroy, here… Sounds like it’s a sad song; I’ono about dis… Hook sounds nice and simple, whether it reflects a sad theme or not; I’ll give it some props… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s rough wit this “no son” shit; sad… “How do [y’all] live,” y’all may ask? Just live life to tha fullest, with no fear! No limits! You’ll believe more in yourself & love yourself, more! That’s how I am, without my brother around…! Tha 3rd verse got mo real-life shit goin’ on; intense, deep down inside… Not really a track fa me, so I can’t rate it high, unfortunately… My Rating: 2.6
EDIT: To add, how trippy: I started this review one minute b4 4:20 & if I woulda started it at 4:20, it woulda ended at 5:10, tha day my brother died…!


Overall: Most of this was nice, with tha exception of a few tracks that weren’t my style… Props fa tha aggression, at times, as well as T-Black’s interestin’ production…

Review #1,651: Boyz Home Records "Ballerz Anthem"

Reviewed on 2.16.2017 (Review #1,651)


Here comes my next review: Boyz Home Records Ballerz Anthem, released in 1998 on Boyz Home Records & was produced by Trini McGee (except #15, which was produced by Richard Jackson & #16, which was produced by DJ Lil’ Daddy)! Start Time: 2:01 AM | End Time: 2:58 AM

Link To CD: N/A


01. MC Dice “My Soldja”
>>> A slow start, here, with decent rappin’… Tha hook’s a lil’ ehh and tha other two verses are decent… I’ono about startin’ a compilation off wit a slow, depressin’ song, tho… My Rating: 3.1


02. Trini “Outlaw”
>>> Sounds more upbeat, here; catchy lil’ beginning and ‘90s beat fa tha N.O., here! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds aight… It almost sounds like they’re like a Mystikal, here? Funny how he mentioned “Mystikal,” too, just seconds after I said that! Tha 2nd verse sounds nice wit tha Magnolia Shorty “Charlie Whop” reference, too, lol… Diggin’ tha lil’ outro of all tha “soulja rag” chantin’, too… My Rating: 4.1


03. Dollar Bill feat. Bozak & Trini “Ballin’”
>>> Diggin’ tha “It Takes Two” sample in tha background, here, while this decent beat plays… Sounds like indistinct singin’ in tha beginning, here, with this hook? Now, we got rappin’ at :51, on tha 1st verse, soundin’ decent… Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, here, but tha track still sounds a lil’ too soft, at times… My Rating: 3.3


04. Dollar Bill feat. 2-Face “Bring It On”
>>> I like how tha beat a lil’ betta wit tha more-upbeat sound, but it still sounds a lil’ quiet, overall… Like, why all that singin’ on tha 2nd verse? Tha 1st verse was decent, by tha way… My Rating: 2.4


05. Nick Newton & Diggy Dice “Interview”
>>> A nice, quick “interview,” here, fa tha ’98… My Rating: N/A


06. 2-Face, Bozak, MC Dice & Trini “Ballerz Anthem”
>>> This sounds much betta wit tha upbeat vibe! Let’s hope it turns out that way!! Tha hook sounds nice wit tha “ballin’,” here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good wit tha rappin’, here, holdin’ it down fa tha Cash Money Records era… Here’s tha 2nd verse, as dude comin’ through, “huntin’” like a “rabbit!” Tha 3rd verse ain’t too bad, here… As it was a short verse, there’s a 4th verse, here, and it’s decent… My Rating: 3.8


07. Bozak “World Full Of Rapture”
>>> Sounds good, here, wit tha 1st verse and decent beat, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it ain’t bad; a lil’ catchy wit “now, who’s tha nigga who got-got? Now, who’s tha nigga who got shot?”  Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds decent, so far… We got tha 3rd verse, here, and it’s pretty nice, as well… My Rating: 3.7


08. 2-Face & Da Family “Godfather”
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ skit… Random laughter? My Rating: N/A


½time: Sounds decent, so far… A few tracks are a lil’ on tha soft side, while tha other half’s decent… Only a 3.4-rated CD, so far; we can do betta!


09. MC Dice feat. Dollar Bill “Who Ride”
>>> Beat’s plain and ehh fa a West Coast-soundin’ beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it aight… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds nice fa a “ride,” but I’ono how much I can really feel this… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse and it sounds decent, here… And, we got a 3rd verse, here, soundin’ decent, as well… This joint prolly coulda sounded less plain and I woulda liked it betta, here… My Rating: 3.4


10. Lil’ Kevin a.k.a. Face Jr. “Kidz Tale”
>>> Wow, that was a quick skit; random! My Rating: N/A


11. 2-Face feat. MC Dice “Jealousy”
>>> Sounds decent, here, wit this upbeat beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s on tha calm side? Hearin’ tha hook and it’s random nothingness? Tha 2nd verse just barely decent, fa me; why all these voices soft and quiet, on this CD?? And, a 3rd verse, here, soundin’ decent, but my interest iz pretty low… My Rating: 2.7


12. Tema “I Don’t Want You No More”
>>> A female? Oh, boy, this gon drag!!! Beat sounds like old tracks like “Paid In Full” and all that, here… I’ono, but I have almost “no” interest fa this! More sing-rappin’ than rappin’, here… Finally, a dude rappin’ at 1:53 and he sounds decent… Still, no credit fa tha dude? Who iz he? My Rating: 1.7


13. 2-Face & Dr. Unknown “Chuck Interlude”
>>> Not sure what ta say, here… Almost sounds like a mystery vs. an orgasm, here… My Rating: N/A


14. High Demand “Cheating”
>>> Fuck! A singin’ track? Fuck! Not really in tha mood for one or for one on this CD! Just some ‘90s R&B, here, wit a Mardi Gras-soundin’ beat… Aight, maybe, this a good song fa those “cheating;” that’s it… My Rating: 2.0


15. Crescent City Gangsta “Twerk That Thang”
>>> Beat’s a lil’ on tha soft/plain side, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds like dude coulda been a potential, undaground success? Feelin’ tha gangsta’s story, here… Diggin’ tha “Polos, Girbauds” and shit like dat, too! A chick on tha 2nd verse, here? I’ono… Decent, but random/unexpected, here… My Rating: 3.3


16. Tim Smooth “Give It Up”
>>> Already know this one? Sounds like “I Gotsta Have It”… If it iz, then here’s my current rating… My Current Rating: 4.1


Overall: This compilation ain’t go over too well… I ain’t really fuck wit tha soft-soundin’ tracks, here…
