Review #1,869: Krazy "Please Don't Kill Me"

Reviewed on 12.15.2019 (Review #1,869)

Got my next review up now: Krazy Please Don’t Kill Me, released in 1999 on Ruff Era Records! Start Time: 10:21 AM | End Time: 11:36 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!

See, I try ta be like dat to people but they have nowhere near as much luv fa me as I have fa dem, smh! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and I’m feelin’ this passion, even tho I feel jealous over it. Got tha 2^nd verse from Legend Man, here, showin’ his luv fa his “dog,” as well; nice… Feelin’ how tha both of y’all comin’ through on tha 3^rd verse, here; loyalty!

16. “Breathers In The Sky”

Producer: Wydell

>>> Beat’s nice, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and you got some good shit on tha mic, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s str8; not really my kinda song, tho. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s str8, fa these legends… Not really inta tha depressin’ songs but this one has more of an upbeat beat to it, so it ain’t too bad… A long outro, here, soundin’ a lil’ emotional wit tha “R.I.P.” shit. My Rating: 3.2

17. “See Daylight” feat. Skandalust & Ed West

Producer: Ezell Swang

>>> A good lil’ beat vibe, once again, even tho tha content’s a lil’ sad… I’m likin’ Ed on tha hook, this time; like how he sings, “Daylight!” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you and it’s good; I’ll give you your upbeat props… Got Skandulust on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some nice rhymes; props ta her, too… Got you on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit okay rhymes; it str8 fa me… My Rating: 3.9
