Review #1,898: Recon "Makin' Moves"

Reviewed on 12.24.2019 (Review #1,898)

Fell asleep, again, but am back… Here goes my next review fa Reco Makin’ Moves, released in 1999 on South Coast Music Group! Start Time: 7:53 PM | End Time: 8:53 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!

01. “Makin’ Moves”

Producer: Full Pack Music

>>> “Str8 outta Hollygrove,” here; let’s get it! Sounds like a nice lil’ street vibe, via tha beat & how y’all comin’ through on tha 1^st verse, here…! Tha hook’s cool wit how y’all define “R-E-C-O-N,” y’all name… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice, of course; keep it goin’…! “We’ve got plenty of weed, tracks ta burn;” that’s tha way ta do it! Tha 3^rd verse sounds a lil’ calm wit tha flow & laidback? A lil’ boring wit how it’s delivered; coulda left it out? Now, it sounds like a long track… My Rating: 3.8

02. “Day Dreaming”

Producer: Full Pack Music

>>> Sounds good wit tha dark-soundin’ beat fa tha ‘90s, as well as tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds str8; keep it up… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds nice wit how y’all keepin’ it up; decent track, overall… My Rating: 3.6

03. “Shine On”

Producer: Full Pack Music

>>> Sounds like a jam but a lil’ dry wit tha beat? Hook str8; all about shinin’… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good, here… Tha 2^nd verse str8, as well as tha rest of this; not much ta really say… My Rating: 3.7

04. “G-Dog” feat. Stimulus

>>> Beat str8; hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s good fa tha streetz, basically… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds nice; can’t complain… Keepin’ this shit goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, spittin’ dem rhymes… Likin’ tha 3^rd verse wit who they “know,” here…; shout out ta “Ice Mike,” as well… Also, nice collab; let’s see how tha otha collabz go… My Rating: 3.9

05. “Long Time” feat. Congo & G-Quikk

Producer: Full Pack Music

>>> Beat cool, here; hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s str8, once again… Not too many things are strikin’ me wit this CD but at least tha tracks are fine to like… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds a lil’ catchy wit how it’s sung…; not bad… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & y’all keepin’ this undaground shit comin’ along; good shit… My Rating: 3.9

06. “Let Me Be” feat. Big Whiskey

Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds like a nice mission ova this regular-soundin’ undaground beat… Tha 2^nd verse sounds okay, as well; just keep goin’…! Sometimes, tha 2^nd verse seems like it’s draggin’ & draggin’… *yawn*; decent, overall… Tha 3^rd verse str8, too; a good lil’ verse ta end it off… My Rating: 3.6

07. “Brother’s Keeper”

Producer: Full Pack Music

>>> Beat cool; tha hook sounds a lil’ pathetic, as far as tha dry vibe? “Am I my brother’s keeper?,” and then, tha other voice just plainly says, “Yes,” lol. Either way, hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it str8; just anotha decent track, ta me… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it cool; y’all holdin’ it down, tho this too long of a track… My Rating: 3.5

½time: Not one song a 4.0+, yet, tho all tha tracks are above-average, at least; a 3.7-rated CD, so far…

08. “High Roller” feat. Kango

Producer: Full Pack Music

>>> Beat str8; tha 1^st verse sounds good, here… Tha hook sounds okay, here; almost didn’t recognize a hook, at first, sadly… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds good; rhymes are a lil’ catchy wit this “Mexico” travelin’… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & it str8; nice but kinda long, as I’m ironically yawnin’, again… My Rating: 3.7

09. “Fake”

Producer: Full Pack Music

>>> Beat sounds okay, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it ain’t bad; regular-soundin’ rhymes, once again… Hearin’ tha hook & it ain’t bad; nothin’ much ta say… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s soundin’ okay; keep it goin’, I guess? At least this track’s short… My Rating: 3.6

Producer: Full Pack Music

>>> Sounds like a dark lil’ laidback track; not bad wit tha hook, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds okay, here… Tha 2^nd verse sounds okay, as well; nothin’ ta really say, tho… My Rating: 3.5

12. “Come Get Some” feat. T-Rock (So Unique)
Producer: Full Pack Music

>>> More hype than most of tha shit on here, thanx ta this T-Rock dude on tha 1^st verse, here… Lol @ “make you check your name, like an artist formerly known…;” interestin’… Hearin’ tha 2^nd part of tha 1^st verse & it sounds good; good lil’ rhyme set… Got tha 3^rd part of tha verse goin’ on, here & there’s no hook; decent… My Rating: 3.8

14. “Gangsta”
Producer: Full Pack Music

>>> Sounds like an okay beat & good lil’ 1^st verse, here… No hook, as we continue wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ good/consistent… My Rating: 3.8

01. “Bombs Away” Feat. Insane
Should be a great combo!! >>> Beat sounds good; can’t wait ta hear tha incredible rhymes!! Tha start sounds catchy and consistent… Ooh, hearin’ some gangsta shit; this iz gettin’ betta by tha bar! Nice job wit tha sound effects, too; catchy shit, here! LOL, tha hook gives me a West Coast feel wit this beat and how tha vocals are; feelin’ tha “nigga, bombs away” shit! Great collaboration between all tha shit goin’ on; all about dem “bombs,” lol! My Rating: 4.4


02. “Revolution” Feat. Che
How will this go? >>> Yes, darker-soundin’ vocals wit a great delivery!! Tha hook’s real tight wit this “9th Ward” chantin’ and err-thang goin’ on!! Tha 1st verse iz pretty serious!! Gangsta-ass, Mystikal-soundin’ dude, comin’ through wit some serious shit!!! LOL, tha 2nd verse’s voice almost threw me off but it’s not bad…; as long as tha content’s here, it’s all good! My Rating: 4.6


03. “Set It Off” Feat. Insane
>>> Sounds like a catchy, funky-soundin’ joint, here… Tha rhymes are catchy; y’all got this instantly-in-yo-face-type shit on lock! My Rating: 4.2


04. “What If?” Feat. Glu*z
Iz Glu*z a cuss word? What iz dat? >>> Sounds like a good intro; I like tha “you wonder why I smoke weed” shit… LOL, we wound up havin’ a “black president,” ironically; had ta wait 11 years, lol! I like tha “what if everyone was black just like me?” Real great thought!! Even though this iz more of a serious topic and this iz mainly delivered in a singin’ perspective, I think this iz hella catchy and great wit all tha “what if”s! My Rating: 4.3


05. “Everything Alright” Feat. TLT
Do I know TLT? They don’t look familiar but let’s see what happens… >>> Must not know them; I assume they’re tha gurls singin’ on tha hook? Again, anotha song dat doesn’t typically sound fa me but I’m likin’ this; catchy topic, again! Here’s tha kick-ass rappin’ from you on tha 1st verse; definitely feelin’ tha fastness, mixed wit tha real-life content!! Lots of rhymes ta offer, huh? Definitely consistent wit err-thang, here!! LOL, four verses; can’t hold it in, lol? My Rating: 4.2


06. “Ghetto Wars” Feat. Hasheem & Kareem
Looks like catchy artist names; lemme hear dis! >>> Almost looks like a familiar title but this must be somethin’ I haven’t heard… Tha beginning was nice but fuckin’ damn, what a crazy-ass 1st verse!!!!! Hella fast and tha rhymes are kick-ass!!!!! LOL, tha 2nd verse got slower but tha attitude and pride of rappin’ didn’t fade!!! Tha 3rd verse sounds a lil’ smoother wit tha delivery but once again, thumbs up fa keepin’ tha content of these “wars” alive!! My Rating: 4.7


07. Interlude (You Got My Money?)
LOL, what a quickie! >>> Yes, demandin’!! Fuck those that delay money!! In a typical hood presence, they should be killed, right? My Rating: N/A


08. “I Fronted U…”
Looks like a serious title, especially wit tha dots! >>> Yes, sounds good wit this New Orleans-type beat dat I really like, as well as tha kick-ass rhymes and content from you!!! Ooh, tha hook’s nice wit this voice and tha “uh oh” chantin’ in tha background!! Shit yea, “I fronted u…” iz right!!! Damn, this iz an anthem fa tha cheap ones dat say they’re ‘gettin’ money!’ Shit, there’s this one dude I know dat was makin’ fun of someone, sayin’ they weren’t gettin’ money. However, they couldn’t even pay me $20 for somethin’; fuckin’ cheap cunt! Glad you got a bunch of verses and unlimited content ammo ta keep a full plate!! Good-soundin’ song; keep ‘em up!!! My Rating: 4.7


½time: Of course, tha Dawg knows how ta hold it down!! A 4.4-rated CD, currently; you have tha potential of havin’ a five-star-rated CD automatically!!!!


09. “Mind Of A Menace”
>>> LOL, fade-in intro? Sounds hella funny, especially since there’s fast-ass rappin’ goin’ on, lol!! Really feelin’ tha kick-assness, once again; sounds like a smooth beat wit a fast vibe, which iz interestin’!! Tha hook sounds good, too; what else can I say about dis? You holdin’ err-thang down!! Gotta luv tha drug-related content, too! My Rating: 4.6


10. “Cold Blooded”
Keepin’ it goin’… >>> Looks familiar and sounds good, quiet style, lol. Ooh, here you come through wit tha great rhymes!!! Damn, nothin’ but dat consistentness comin’ through from you, deliverin’ tha rhymes ta tha ones dat are livin’ dat “cold blooded” life!!! My Rating: 4.7


11. “Stuck In Misery”
>>> Hook sounds catchy but you already know, tha fastness from you comes outta nowhere as well as tha kick-ass rhymes!!! “I feel I’m betta off dead;” good line—gotta luv tha song by The Sounds of dat title, too! Glad you’re a huge representa fa tha 504, here, bruh!! Nothin’ but a pure-soundin’, J-Dawg song to tha fullest!!! My Rating: 4.6


12. “Freak Nasty (Remix)” Feat. Playboy Shaburnke
Let’s hear dis collab! >>> Beat sounds catchy wit this hook… I’m likin’ your delivery on this joint, too; all about tha nastiness, lol! Rhymes are catchy, too, fa dis topic and Playboy Shaburnke sounds like a Mannie Fresh, lol. My Rating: 4.4


13. “Putcha Cream On It!” Feat. Storm
What’ll this be like? Looks like a sequel to tha previous song… >>> Oh, Storm’s a gurl? She sounds aight; sounds a lil’ focused, here… LOL, too long of a verse from her? Damn, no verses from you; a lil’ boring… My Rating: 3.5


14. “Don’t Look 4 Me”
Let’s hear you, now! >>> Sounds like a smooth hook; not bad… Tha consistent rhymes are back; glad you’re doin’ tha damn thang wit this rappin’! Tha other songs sounded betta wit betta, more-consistent rhymes, but this iz still good. My Rating: 4.1


15. “Spirit Of A Thug”
Looks like a serious title; I hope ta hear nothin’ but tha hottest from you! >>> Sounds like a good beat and tha hook’s pretty nice wit this flow; my boy Lil’ Witness sounds a lil’ like dis… Rhymes sound consistent although I thought they’d be a lil’ fas—oh wait, they are gettin’ faster! Glad you got tha verses on lock wit dis shit; undeniable!! Nice job wit tha last verse, by tha way; content iz a must! My Rating: 4.3


16. “Tell Me (Do You Still Care)”
>>> Not bad wit tha female although it could sound like a remake of some vocals in tha past… Rhymes are catchy, here; definitely some shit fa tha hood ta enjoy, ya dig? Good rhymes; holdin’ tha whole joint down wit this mysterious lady on tha hook, lol! My Rating: 4.2


17. “Up Next G-Quikk (Outro)” (G-Quikk)
Let’s see what he gon offer! >>> Whoa, lol!! What a great way ta fade shit in!!! I assume this iz just him, not him featuring you? Nice job wit how he comin’ through on this verse!!! Nothin’ but hella-consistent, fast-ass rhymes!!! LOL, it went to anotha song? Must be tha actual “outro,” lol; good dialect, as I’m anticipatin’ some smokin’-type shit, lol! My Rating: 4.7


Overall: Too bad for tha song wit just Storm on it; if you would’ve rapped on it, you prolly could’ve had an automatic, five-star-rated CD! Either way, you kick buku ass and I believe I have anotha CD I’m about ta review of yours, up next!!

01. Don B Feat. Top “Intro”
Let’s see what we got goin’ on, here! >>> Tha beat sounds like I’m expectin’ somethin’ excitin’, tight, and gangsta! LOL, some rappin’ goin’ on, here, too! Feelin’ tha rhymes; a lil’ bit of a Max Minelli flow dat sounds tight wit tha rhymes! Ooh, tha both of y’all are rappin’; definite plus!! My Rating: 4.3


02. Trigga “A Lil’ Freestyle”
I wonder who dis iz… >>> Sounds like it could be a voice effect in tha beginning? I guess it iz, lol. Hearin’ Trigga and he sounds good; really freestyin’!! This iz a pretty-good “freestyle;” nice job wit this good beat in tha background… My Rating: 4.2


03. Don B Feat. Top, Che & CoaCoa “Get This Party Started”
Looks like some serious shit… >>> LOL, a yummy-soundin’ female in tha beginning, lol! Tha beat’s nice and fast and sounds good wit tha rappin’; nice jam… Tha hook sounds good wit tha female; nice, sexy singin’! Tha 2nd verse sounds like a Mystikal pace wit tha rhymes; definitely a nice verse wit tha rhymes!! Ooh, Mystikal attitude, too!! Tha 3rd verse iz good, too; I guess it’s tha BPM in tha beat dat helps tha fast rappin’ develop! LOL, thought there would be room for a 4th verse but it’s good ta continuously hear tha hook! My Rating: 4.5


04. Mr. Ivan “N.O. Story”
Ooh, Ivan’s here; let’s hear what he gon spit on this “Compilation”!! >>> Sounds good; rhymes are definitely A+ wit tha content!! Tha flow also sounds like it’s on a good-soundin’ tip; prolly would’ve expected a betta-soundin’ beat but as long as there’s somethin’ behind Ivan, tha rest iz history! Such a real-great “story” about some real-ass shit goin’ on in tha “N.O.;” thumbs up fa deliverin’ this ta us listeners!! My Rating: 4.7


05. Top “Big Mouth”

Tha content’s soundin’ good, too; ooh, “comin’ out tha telly wit tha Graveyard Soldjas…;” glad you mentioned one of my favorite groups!!

Really likin’ this beginning wit tha hook and tha title; gotta luv tha inhalin’ sounds!! Ooh, nice 1st verse wit tha delivery and tight-ass rhymes!! Tha title really says it all when it comes ta other rappers, ya heard me?!? Tha 2nd verse iz gutta, too; nothin’ but dat shit dat you gotta luv!! Ooh, some mo shit comin’ through in tha 2nd verse from someone else (one of tha two of y’all); definitely a tight collaboration, here!! Couldn’t’ve asked for a betta description of tha 504 hood!!

07. Partners-N-Crime/Prime Time “Badd Mutherfuckers”
LOL @ tha spellin’ of tha “muthafuckaz” and tha artist name says, “P-N-C/Primetime;” I originally put Partners-N-Crime but I’ll put tha double name. >>> This sounds good fa PNC; nice beat, good rhymes, and you already know, some shit ta stir up controversy in tha undaground Rap world, lol!

09. Poppi “Dead Soldjas”
Wonder who dis iz… >>> LOL @ tha sad, fade-in beat intro… This iz a sad-soundin’ song but for some reason, I’m likin’ how tha beat sounds… Tha hook sounds good fa a lady bein’ added to tha vocals; nice combo. Ooh, tha lady breaks down inta extra singin’ toward tha near-end, too; get ‘em, gurl! My Rating: 3.9

14. Dyseptive “Who You Gonna Blame”
I like how this artist name looks; this should be some good shit! >>> Ooh, G-Funk sound outta nowhere, lol, as well as tha hook! Rhymes are soundin’ good, too; glad this dude showin’ luv ta tha 504 Rap scene, too! LOL, long-ass song dat serves its purpose!! My Rating: 4.3


15. All Natural “Come Back My Way”
Let’s see what’s good wit dis one! >>> LOL, fade-in beat intro, again, dat sounds like R&B music? Why iz this R&B shit doin’ here? No less, it’s almost five minutes long! Not really my interest, unfortunately. My Rating: 2.5


16. CoaCoa “Over Lovin’ You”
This dude’s back… >>> Damn, now it sounds like a mix of Lite FM! I dunno if I like this betta than tha previous song… I guess tha Lite FM/Kenny G-soundin’ background music, mixed wit some Urban beats, iz trickin’ me inta likin’ it. However, tha shorter length iz betta than tha previous song’s long length! My Rating: 2.6


17. Me-4-U “7-Thousand Miles”
Hope it’s not anotha R&B song… >>> Yea, this iz worse and tha longest outta ‘em; not much goin’ on here, either… My Rating: 2.2

Review #969: Big Boy Records Presents "We G's, The Compilation Album"

Reviewed on 6.06.2011 (Review #969)




‘Bout ta resume tha marathon, since it’s Monday! This 1st review I have for today iz a compilation: Big Boy Records Presents “We G’s, The Compilation Album”! Start Time: 9:46 AM | End Time: 10:17 AM


Quick Note: 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.

01. Insane “Frankie The Screwdriver”
ROFL @ this title!! >>> Whoo!!! Real consistent wit tha rappin’ and tha rhymes!!! This iz really catchy, especially tha hook; feelin’ tha street content, mixed wit some “Frankie tha screwdriver” shit! Good job wit all these verses; nothin’ but tha best street shit fa tha 504!! My Rating: 4.8


02. Insane Feat. J-Dawg “We G’s”
Let’s hear it! >>> Beat’s off to a nice, somewhat-relaxin’ start. Ooh, “500 pounds of weed;” definitely some good-ass shit on tha hook, here!!! Tha 1st verse iz hot; definitely feelin’ tha flow and all tha lyrics! LOL, non-stop verses goin’ on, here; really likin’ tha shit afta 2:20!! R-R-R-R-Rapid wit consistency!!! My Rating: 4.7


03. G-Slimm “Niggaz Claim”
Let’s see what tha former-livin’ dude has ta offer! >>> Oh, this “G’s In The Sky” song I played on my radio show last week? Ironic, especially since it had dat title fa an alternative title; I believe I had ta edit this, too. Anyway, this iz a betta-soundin’ song fa G-Slimm; good beat and consistent rhymes! Too bad he died. Tha hook sounds pretty catchy wit tha singin’, too! My Rating: 4.3


04. Lil’ Lipp “The 1 They Talkin’ ‘Bout”
Neva heard of this dude; lookin’ forward ta hearin’! >>> Shoutin’ out “G-Slimm” and givin’ him an “R.I.P.;” thumbs up! Tha hook sounds nice wit this G-Funk/’90s style! I like tha “… game, bruh” ad-lib dat came outta nowhere in tha background of tha 1st verse; you know what it iz! Those ad-libs are nice wit tha good rhymes Lil’ Lipp’s offerin’; thumbs up fa this 504-type shit!! Oh, he’s “from tha Boot Camp Click;” I see… My Rating: 4.4


05. J-Dawg “Anybody Killa”
>>> This iz anotha really hot-soundin’ song, too; ace-soundin’ production wit a great hook fa tha hoodz!! Nothin’s betta than tha rhymes, especially tha 1st verse, here, wit tha rapid, consistent, quality rhymes!!! Damn, J-Dawg, you tha shit!! Not even stoppin’ on tha 2nd verse, lol; what else could I expect from this song?!? LOL, tha 3rd verse, too? Almost a perfect-rated song, I feel; very close but this should easily be tha top-ranked song on this CD!! Gotta get a song like dis on my radio show; these lil’ gems are hidden in CDs, sometimes! My Rating: 4.9


06. Ice Mike “Monkey On My Back”
Yes, Ice Mike!! >>> Feelin’ tha production; gotta luv this compilation CD and dis whole vibe goin’ on!! Yes, here’s Mike, “three in tha mornin’;” definitely feelin’ focused to tha bone!! LOL @ tha hook wit this “help me, help me” shit; sounds like it could go a serious way or an entertainin’ way. Tha 2nd verse sounds betta; feelin’ tha hood/”drugs”-related shit!! My Rating: 4.4


07. G-Quikk “Neva Gonna Be Faded”
Don’t think I heard him, either… >>> This sounds good; could sound like a good, spooky song wit those vocals on tha hook! Ooh, tha same vocals—on a more-awake tip, lol—on tha rappin’, and they sound tight!! Gotta feel tha 504, rapid-fire-type shit!! Good job wit all tha verses; this definitely iz some quality shit fa tha streetz!! My Rating: 4.6


½time: This iz definitely a hot compilation CD; really feelin’ all tha jointz on here!!! So far, this CD’s at a whoppin’ 4.6 for tha CD rating!!!!!!


08. Rated X “It’s A Hit”
Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ them! >>> Ooh, really likin’ tha Blondie “Rapture” sample in tha bassline!! Sounds good on tha verses, too, wit tha crazy-ass rappin’ and rhymes!!! Tha hook sounds pretty serious wit tha “when we drive by, nigga, it’s a hit” shit; go, Rated X, go!! Nothin’ but consistent-ass verses; rofl @ tha “Chuckie” part! My Rating: 4.5


09. Soldier Sporty “Still Ballin’”
Iz this Sporty T or someone else? Lemme see… >>> Sounds like someone different dat I neva heard before; really feelin’ how he comin’ through on tha mic!!! Damn, Big Boy Records definitely has some of tha hottest shit ta offer fa tha ’97 and tha 504!!! I really like tha fast vibe, here—prolly 90 – 100 BPM! Tha hook sounds…—fa’get it, I knew this was Sporty-T afta hearin’ tha hook! My Current Rating: 4.6


10. Ghetto Slaves “Sho-Love”
Looks like a tight artist/title… >>> Sounds pretty catchy wit this singin’ hook and tha rhymes are definitely on ‘n’ poppin’! I’m glad this iz pretty long ‘cause there’s a bunch of shit ta offer, in an A – A+ way!! My Rating: 4.4


11. Da Boot Camp Clicc “All I Know”
Looks like a familiar title? Thumbs up on tha spelling fa Da Boot Camp Clicc! >>> This sounds real hot wit tha hook; definitely feelin’ this for a start!! Ooh, tha 1st verse iz definitely to tha point wit these kick-ass lyrics!!!!! Tha 2nd verse iz good, too; ooh, feelin’ tha “Girbaud jeans saggin’;” you know I gotta give a thumbs up fa anybody wearin’ “Girbaud jeans” as well as havin’ tha courage ta have ‘em “saggin’,” too! You know I fuck wit dat style when it comes ta showin’ luv ta people! Tha 3rd verse sounds cool, too; really feelin’ tha consistent rhymes wit this great voice! Ooh, tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse iz on tha same level wit tha great quality!! My Rating: 4.7


12. Seventeenth Survivors “Livin’ Da Life”
Now this looks like it gon be a tight one! I really like tha artist name, once again!! >>> Ooh, tight, fast vibe wit tha beat and tha rhymes are really good on tha hook, especially wit tha “smokin’ weed” shit!! Ooh, kick-ass wit tha 1st verse!!! Goes just as hard as dat one song I almost rated a 5.0!!! LOL @ tha 2nd verse wit tha spellin’ of “B-I-T-C-H-E-S,” lol! Tha good thing about tha faster-soundin’ beats iz dat four verses can fit inta a song, usually, when it’s about four minutes long! Tha 3rd verse iz definitely nice wit tha kick-ass rhymes!!! I think I might rate this a perfect rating!!! This has a slightly betta vibe; I like this beat more! Damn, this shit ain’t stoppin’, as tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse—or as much shit dat’s goin’ on here ‘cause I can’t keep up, at times—iz real nice!!! My Rating: 5.0


13. Seventeenth Survivors “Back Against The Wall”
Damn, anotha song by them, already?!? This iz definitely what’s up!!! Prolly one of tha 1st times I’m not complainin’ about tha same artist appearin’ back to back on a CD!!! >>> Ooh, I’m likin’ tha singin’ in tha beginning… Damn, this 1st verse iz definitely nice; y’all fit good wit tha Graveyard Soldjas? I definitely seem common luv goin’ on, here, when it comes ta tha amount of interest I have!!! Tha hook iz definitely nice; I really like tha content—y’all own tha 17th streets!!! I hope y’all are currently “survivors” in 2011!! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good; not as good as tha 1st verse but tha hot shit iz definitely here!! Tha 3rd verse iz pretty good, too; I think I expected some more rapi—oh, neva mind, I hear tha rapid shit near 2:50 and it’s soundin’ tight, once again!!! My Rating: 4.8


14. Playboy Sha-Burnke “All About A Dollar”
Who dis, lol? >>> I’m likin’ tha dialect in tha intro! “Thinkin’ of a master plan;” a lil’ cliché in tha beginning but let’s see what happens… “What happened fa not passin’ my gar;” somethin’ similar (a blunt) happened in a case wit me. When someone passed it incorrectly, I thought it was rude, and what happened? Tha group I was wit broke up! Bad jynx!! Should’ve passed tha blunt correctly, wit fair dignity!! I’m likin’ tha rhymes, here; sounds like tha perfect soundtrack to tha mainstream ‘90s Rap, in my opinion, wit some of these vocals. I dunno how much my interest iz stayin’ on dis but at least it’s nothin’ bad… My Rating: 4.2


15. Mystikal “I Ain’t Playin’”
LOL, ending wit Mystikal? How great iz dat?!?!? >>> You already know, dis iz definitely A+++!!!!! Gotta feel how grimy he comes through on any track!!! Oh, so dis iz where he got tha “I’ont Like You” shit from; this song, lol. For him, it’s definitely cool ta resurrect a classic ‘cause in tha 2010’s, he can come through wit classic music—anytime!!! My Rating: 4.8


Overall: Whoo!!! What a real hot compilation CD fulla tight Louisiana artists, especially tha ones I didn’t know!!!
