Finally
gettin’ ta anotha review, after stayin’ an extra hour at work and doin’ a few
music thangz… We got Hills Boys Death Row, an unsigned release from Baton Rouge in 1994 & produced by Hills Boys &
Tommy Jefferson! Start Time: 6:16 PM | End
Time: 6:59 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 and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01.
“Death Row (Radio Version)”
Startin’
off wit a radio version; let’s see… >>> Beat sounds like it’s a lil’
more on a party tip, here, with a faster, plain vibe… Tha 1st verse
sounds nice fa an unsigned group; props fa holdin’ tha streetz down… Tha 2nd
dude on tha 1st verse sounds a lil’ better; pretty good… Tha hook’s
nice with this female; she sounds quiet? Still, nice ta hear! Tha 2nd
verse sounds like it has more energy to it…; nice job! Tha 3rd verse
sounds a lil’ quiet wit this laidback dude rappin’… Overall, not bad for tha
start of a classic tape; I can see why it’s unsigned… Tha quality sounds like
they’ve been randomly on tha come-up; good shit… My Rating: 3.7
02.
“Profanity”
What
about it? >>> Beat sounds good fa an undaground one… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and it sounds good ta hear. “I curse my ass off;” can’t deny dat!! “I use
profanity;” nice way ta end tha 1st verse! Tha 2nd verse
pretty tight; diggin’ tha dude on tha 2nd verse! Energy, consistent
lyrics and, of course, “profanity,” lol! Tha 3rd verse good, too; I
think I like ‘em in this order: 2nd, 3rd, 1st,
ya dig? My Rating: 4.2
03.
“We All That”
Finna
eat pumpkin spice pancakes; brb! *Leaves at 6:22 PM…* *Returns at 6:38 PM…*
>>> Beat’s kinda East Coast-y and a lil’ plain… Rhymes are ehh;
regular-soundin’ rhymes, here… Tha hook sounds aight wit tha sample goin’ on… A
female on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some fast rhymes,
“like a river!” Tha 3rd verse sounds nice and fast, too, even tho
I’m not too crazy about this rappin’ and tha style of this track… It just seems
too plain and not southern ta me… My
Rating: 3.6
04.
“Money-Making Spirit (Radio Version)”
Anotha
radio version, first… >>> Kickin’ it off wit a lil’ chatter in tha
beginning and then, a remake goin’, “Ooh, child…,” on tha hook, here… So far,
it’s ehh; I’ont really fuck wit remakes… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and
it sounds okay wit this slower rappin’… A lil’ longer than tha previous songs…
Hearin’ tha hook and there ain’t much goin’ on… Okay, just a beat; next… Tha 2nd
verse sounds okay, too; decent at its finest… Tha “ooh, child”’s in tha
background, now… My Rating: 3.4
½time: It sounds like a decent
release, so far; nothin’ too crazy… A 3.7-rated CD, so far; let’s keep it movin’…
05.
“Psycho Path”
>>>
This sounds like a better start, especially with tha “piss,” lol! Feelin’ tha
energy, here; good shit, so far, on tha 1st verse! Tha hook’s pretty
nice fa what sounds like a sample; feelin’ it! Tha 2nd verse sounds
pretty nice, here; feelin’ tha intensity of tha beat, at times, as well as tha
fastness!! I can see this bein’ tha best one on this tape! Tha 3rd
verse’s pretty nice; definitely feelin’ tha gutta vibes! A really-long beat
outro, here, but it kept me thinkin’… My
Rating: 4.5
06.
“Whole Werks”
>>>
I like tha eerie beat start… Really likin’ this long, eerie beat start! How
long iz it, now? It’s 40, 41, 42, 43…44…45…46…47…48…49…50…51…51 seconds and
now, we got a random female voice; nice! Really reelin’ me in differently! At
1:16, here’s tha 1st verse… It sounds nice ta hear with this New Orleans party sound…
Tha 2nd dude sounds good ta hear, too; likin’ tha beat sounds!
Randomness that would sound like my sound effects! Nice beat sound at 3:11;
interesting how it’s just tha trumpetish sound, lol! Tha 2nd verse’s
soundin’ nice, here! I think it’s 2nd…? Long intro, one dude, anotha
dude and then, after tha beat interlude, anotha dude, lol… Well, with that
bein’ said, it sounds like we got a long outro goin’ on, here… My Rating: 4.3
07.
“Money-Making Spirit”

See #4 fa tha review!
08.
“Death Row”
This,
too… See #1 fa tha review!
09.
“Rappin’ It Up”
>>>
Beat sounds nice and anthemic wit tha chantin’ in tha background… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and it’s pretty good… Now, it transitioned into shout outs; nice,
especially wit rappin’ before that… “I like ta give a shout out ta my
mothafuckin’ dick!” Lol @ that! My
Rating: 3.5
Overall: At times, this was
decent; at times, this was nice… It was an okay review, overall, but you know I
love my unsigned releases! Great job with those few jointz I really liked! Hope
y’all still achievin’ $ucce$$ out there!
