Review #1,975: Black Menace "Mo Drama"

Reviewed on 6.03.2021 (Review #1,975)
 
 
Back up in tha mornin’ fa mo reviewz…! Still couldn’t get up at 3:55, due to my neck needin’ to be re-calibrated by me layin’ flat. However, I’m up now & I’m ready ta review: Black Menace Mo Drama iz my next review, released in 2000 on Menace Entertainment! Start Tyme: 5:19 AM | End Tyme: 6:32 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!

01. “Yes Indeed” feat. Insane & Mr. Terror of Foolish
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> Kickin’ off with a bouncin’ & hype vibe, here… Sounds like a good lil’ hook, although it sounds a lil’ dated when I hear tha chick say tha title part; that’s just me, tho. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds like it’s on some Cash Money-type shit, but on a faster tip; good shit, y’all. Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse & I’m diggin’ tha rapid, southern, kick-ass rappin’; dumb shit!! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s pretty dope, as well; can’t be denied with tha Black Menace boyz! Oh shit, ain’t realize there was room fa a 4th verse—oh wait, just a few extra barz from Mr. Terror! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
02. “Fuck Friends”
Producer: Hakeem & Kajun Phunk
>>> Sounds like anotha hyped-up street anthem, here; good hook & beat, too! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds pretty gutta; gotta luv how tha Menace boyz come thru! Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2nd verse & it’s true: “You ain’t heard of tha Menace? Where tha fuck you niggaz from?” iz what y’all sayin’; I agree. I been knowin’ y’all fa a long minute, now, even showin’ y’all buku luv on my then-radio show, “Tha Louisiana Pit”. With that bein’ said, great job with tha 2nd verse; “fuck” those that aren’t “friends”! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s cool, too; just luv y’all energy fa tha streetz at all tymes! Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 4th verse & it’s cool ta add; more darker, deeper street shit, here… My Rating: 4.3
 
 
03. “Watch’em”
Producer: Precise
>>> Sounds familiar; I know some of these tracks from either previous reviewz or random radio spins. I’ono if I’m re-reviewin’ but this sounds good with tha hook & energy applied; great shit! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s cool with what’s comin’ through tha mic; keep it movin’! Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 2nd verse & y’all know what it iz with tha quality for tha streetz! Tha 3rd verse’s pretty gutta; I feel like I’m at a relative’s afterparty with tha Graveyard Soldjas! Also, a dope-soundin’ 4th verse; fully-focused on rappin’ awesome on tha beat, here! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
04. “Don’t Talk About It” feat. Geronimoe of Foolish, Insane & Tim Smooth
Producer: DJ Dick
Geronimoe iz also known as P-Town Moe, FYI… >>> Gotta luv tha continuous energy on this Mo Drama! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty hype; luvin’ tha energetic street content! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like anotha anthem, especially with tha “uh oh!!” chant in tha background! Gotta luv tha energy; I always say it! Keepin’ this shit goin’ on tha 2nd verse & Tim Smooth comin’ through wit some street knowledge, mixed with this club-type shit; nice combo…! Also, mo shit comin’ outta tha 2nd verse; gotta dig tha continuation! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse comin’ through, here & it’s cool; some of it sounds slightly off-beat but tha contribution’s nice ta hear, basically. My Rating: 4.4
 
 
05. “Madness”
Producer: Hakeem
>>> Sounds like a gangsta-ass beat start; definitely feelin’ tha darkness! Sounded like tha rappin’ came outta nowhere with its quickness; may be a lil’ too fast, tho? Like, good 1st verse but a lil’ too fast? Maybe, that’s why this iz called “Madness”? Tha hook’s pretty dope with how it’s delivered; tha “Madness” continues! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through with mo “Madness”; good shit! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
06. “We Are One / Definition Of Love”
Producer: Hakeem
>>> A lot softer than tha previous joint! Sounds like a good lil’ street hook, at least; glad y’all can bring out tha street vibe. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s aight; sounds less-enjoyable ta me, in its softer wayz. Like, tha content’s still “written in blood”; it’s just a softer flow than tha previous jointz on here. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s str8; not much ta say about it… Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through with a more-lively voice & flow; a lil’ betta, this tyme… Tha 2nd part of tha 3rd verse seems a lil’ sappy with tha voice & flow, this tyme; not really into tha sad struggle… My Rating: 3.7
 
 
07. “Block Bleeder” feat. Insane & Smitty Da Pimp
Producer: Hakeem
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ slow beat fa tha streetz but tha hook’s definitely catchy with this flow; great job, y’all! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s all about bleedin’ tha “block”; good shit/rhymes! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse, comin’ through with a great sense of rapid rappin’; huh bruh…! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s pretty nice with what y’all contributin’ to tha track; great job with tha collab…! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 4th verse, here, comin’ through wit some nice-ass rapid rappin’! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
08. “Do Watcha Gonna Do” feat. Valerie George
Producer: Hakeem
>>> Beat ain’t bad but provides energy fa y’all ta kick ass on tha 1st verse, here; great job with tha hood shit…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s a lil’ sappy fa me with this chick singin’; woulda rather’ve heard Ms. Tee’s voice. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty nice, as this hood track continues… Mo shit comin’ out this track with tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ like some good street shit; not bad, overall, for tha verses… Got a 4th verse, here, soundin’ like an okay contribution; just seems like too much, at this point in tha track… My Rating: 2.8
 
 
½tyme: Y’all real consistent with tha tracks, energy & hood content, here; definitely a major plus! Just didn’t really fuck wit #08 but for tha most part, y’all keep that energy up fa tha streetz! Y’all got a 4.1 for tha average rating, so far; let’s keep it movin’!
 
 
09. “Drama As Usual”
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> Again, this anotha one of those familiar titles, so I’m not 100% sure if I already heard this one… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty much filled with insanity; beats are energetic & tha rhymes are undeniable!! Also, hearin’ tha hook & it goes through so fast to where you have to automatically accept it as a banga; good shit! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty nice, as this rapidness continues…! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ great ta hear; unstoppable! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
10. “Rush The Floor” feat. Kangol of PNC & Sporty-T
Producer: Precise
>>> Slightly slower than tha previous joint but still fulla energy; nice lil’ hook, here…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty dope with this life-of-tha-party shit…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s catchy; can’t deny tha club at all tymes! Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 2nd verse & this deeper-soundin’ voice gives more of a street vibe, compared to my club-soundin’ perspective; good shit… Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 3rd verse, as well; some mo street shit at its finest…! Nice outro from Sporty-Tiggy-Tiggy-T, as well; props fa tha hype…! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
11. “Po-Mama”
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> Thought this was gon be more depressin’ but it’s more energetic than I thought; good lil’ beat & 1st verse, here…! Props fa havin’ that aggression ta express this street shit; this that shit you need fa quality! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds expressive but not too depressin’, at least… Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty nice; keep bein’ gritty & grimy! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & tha “ganja marijuana” be on-n-poppin’; definitely what’s up! Seems like a bunch of shit sounds random ta hear on this track but that’s ‘cause there’s so many lyrics; insanity! My Rating: 4.1
 
 
12. “Hustlin’ 4 Nothin’”
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> A slower track? I’ono how much I can feel this; “and, do you care………???” Like, more cheesy than serious, as far as how I take it? Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s aight; just sounds too much like it’s on a depressin’ tip, here… Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through with some nice rhymes; good rappin’ & shit, despite tha struggle. Got a 3rd verse comin’ through, here, soundin’ like a set of bad street scenes; ouch… Ouch @ tha “empty stocking,” when it comes to “Christmas”; too sad ta hear…! My Rating: 3.2
 
 
13. “All Around The World”
Producer: Hakeem
>>> Glad there’s more energy with this one; feelin’ how tha hook sounds & how y’all wanna live it up ta escape tha negativity! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty nice with this beat; continuous energy…! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice; props fa keepin’ tha rhymes goin’…! Got mo shit comin’ with tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ like anotha good, rapid-spit verse…! Got a 4th verse comin’ through, here, soundin’ pretty nice ta hear, once again; a whole album just loaded with verses! My Rating: 4.1
 
 
14. “4 Of The Realest” feat. Geronimoe of Foolish & Insane
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> Sounds like a hyped-up beat & hook, here; definitely feelin’ tha aggressive side of tha club, here, in tha dark! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s dope; tha life of a gangsta in tha night! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse, soundin’ nice & consistent; steady movin’ with tha quality! Really feelin’ tha N.O. energy on tha 3rd verse’s delivery; props fa havin’ this collab on lock, y’all! Luv tha consistency of this 3rd verse! Put tha “blues” in ‘em! Of course, there’s still room fa a 4th verse, here…; sounds like a good lil’ verse, regardless. I feel tha Magic-like aggression in tha voice; gotta hold it down! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
15. “Why”
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> Tha energy continues, here! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s nice; just keep these dark tales comin’! Tha proper energy helps me embrace tha tracks! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s dope with how y’all come through with this dark tale of tha 5-0-4! Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ like a good lil’ verse; diggin’ tha consistency of tha rhymes & flow! Basically, tha word I’m lookin’ for to describe Black Menace iz “unstoppable”! Got tha 3rd verse goin’ on, here, dealin’ with that life “behind tha buildin’”; don’t be “stressin’,” tho! Gotta hang in there; this beat’s energy can tell you tha same! My Rating: 4.0
 
 
16. “Nigga What’s Happenin’?”
Producer: DJ Dick
>>> Mo energy & I like this energy slightly betta than tha previous joint; good hook & how focused y’all iz! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & y’all really got tha focus on lock with tha hook; can’t deny y’all passion fa this shit! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s dope with how consistent it iz with tha title; undeniable, once again! So much energy bein’ applied; no wonder why tha streetz really embrace y’all asses! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse, here & it’s aggressive af; gotta luv tha aggression! It’s literally like runnin’ a mile or trail; you gots to have tha Black Menace energy to survive!! Hearin’ tha 4th verse & damn!! “Fuck a lottery ticket”; like, y’all really have tha mind of menaces! Frfr!! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
17. “Take It To The Streets” (Insane)
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ Cash Money-like beat, just like tha 1st track sounded…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s dope with how Insane comes through with this southern voice; he Louisiana to tha bone! Luv tha consistent rhymes; glad he provided some shine on his own, here! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s dope; gotta hold it down fa these “streets”, Mr. Sane! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty dope; however, self-esteem sinkin’ with all tha “stressin’” shit? Can’t be; just keep shmokin’, like you previously stated! Mo shit comin’ through with a 3rd verse, no matter if tha track’s only 2:26 on tha length! Dope with how Insane just doesn’t stop!! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
Overall: Excellent job, y’all; y’all know what it iz! Y’all really shined on this bih, between all tha energy, all tha aggressive deliveries & how y’all came through with tha street content! Awesome job; neva stop grindin’!!

01. “Intro”
Producer: Big Boom & Bryce
>>> Let’s get it; “pull” [dat] “rabbit out”! Hearin’ tha verse & it sounds good on this simple beat ta “freestyle off of”; keep it goin’! It’s all about tha sizzouth! My Rating: 4.0
 
 
02. “Money-Making Mission”
Producer: Platinum Fingers
>>> I can hear tha H-Town vibe in tha production, here; let’s swang on ‘em…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s a good hustle anthem; really feelin’ tha eerie strings added to tha hook! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty nice, just shinin’ wit dem “$200.00 shades”; huh bruh! Also, “Louisiana license plate”; fuckin’ well right! Keepin’ this thang movin’ with tha 2nd verse & it sounds nice to relax to. Tha flow may be calm but tha content all tha way gangsta; nice, relaxin’ mix. Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through wit some more laidbackness; not bad, overall… Now, with 53 seconds left, tha chick sings tha southern lifestyle, as well as anotha hook; cool… My Rating: 4.2
 
 
03. “Big Bizness”
Producer: Platinum Fingers
>>> Cool lil’ post-G-Funk sound in tha beat, here, fa tha non-N’awlinzerz…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s soundin’ cool; I feel like this an awesome sound for tha south, regardless! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty dope; y’all know what it iz! Gotta keep grindin’! My Rating: 4.1

Hearin’ tha hook & it str8; just a long “freestyle”, basically—well, I would consider it more a track than “freestyle”. Keepin’ this goin’ with tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice, as well; how much longer will I be interested in this, tho…? Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 3rd verse & it aight; prolly coulda just had one or two verses, instead, since it’s a “freestyle”. My Rating: 3.6

Keepin’ it goin’ with a female on tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ okay; as far as me lovin’ this, it ain’t gon happen, tho. Hearin’ tha 3rd verse, this tyme & it’s aight fa a slow jam’s rap; nothin’ else ta say, tho. Dozin’ off, as this takes forever to finish; I’ono, that’s just my mood with these long tracks… My Rating: 2.6

Producer: Platinum Fingers, Big Boom & Bryce
>>> Sounds like a southern jam, here; feelin’ tha simple-but-good hook…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it ain’t bad, here; diggin’ tha deeper voice on tha mic, this tyme…!

Producer: Big Boom & Bryce

Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ like an okay set of rhymes; strictly keepin’ it gangsta at all tymes, basically… A bunch of mixin’ goin’ on after tha verses & hooks; are we mixin’ tha whole 87 seconds of this outro? Okay, mixin’ stopped at 4:09 & now, tha beat continues ta go on its way out; pretty nice… My Rating: 3.8
 
 
12. “Probation Violation”
Producer: Don, Poochie, Big Boom & Bryce
>>> Sounds like some shitty scene goin’ on as an interlude, in tha beginning… Finally, a beat at 0:53? Yeah & it’s a nice dose of dark, gangsta shit! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty dark with these “jail cell” rhymes; I know tha feelin’! Think: Wet salami for breakfast! Fuck havin’ a “violation,” tho; just do tha tyme like it’s an easy challenge to accomplish! Tha hook sounds like y’all just wanna get past this “violation”; tyme sucks that it doesn’t move faster! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s soundin’ just as real as tha 1st verse; pretty intense, lyrically. Damn @ “20 years iz what I’m facin’ on this violation”; ouch! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
13. “Wild South West”
Producer: Big Boom, Bryce, Don & Poochie
>>> Sounds like a dope lil’ beat & hook, here; gotta rep tha “south” & tha “west”! You know what it iz! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good, as y’all just wanna keep tha focus on y’all grind! I know I do! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds like a good caution sign for tha streetz to tha unknown; great job depictin’. Keepin’ this thang movin’ with tha 3rd verse, just shmokin’ dude “like a blunt”; deep, lol. Tha rest of this verse sounds good; can’t complain about bein’ a “G”…! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
14. “Wonder Who (Before They Bit It Version)”
Producer: Don & Poochie
>>> Quiet-soundin’ vocals in tha beginning for tha hook? Sounds like it would be an R&B joint or some shit…? Yeah, hearin’ tha singin’ on tha hook & it throws my interest off; what will tha verses be like? I “wonder”… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & tha rappin’ aight… This sounds like it covers tha topic of tryna prevent a depression? Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2nd verse & this life-of-tha-struggle content continues…; not bad… A chick on tha 2nd part of tha 2nd verse? She sounds aight but did she have ta be added to a decent track? My Rating: 3.3
 
 
15. “Ride For Me”
Producer: Stack (Black)
Damn @ tha 6:05 length…! >>> Almost thought it was a full-on outro or somethin’? Sounds like an okay hook with tha addition of tha female singin’… Also, five years b4 T-Pain? At 0:38, there was auto-tune in tha voice of just that one second (tha second tyme it says tha word “die,” ironically; wish “die” would apply to auto-tune)! Too bad y’all couldn’t pocket off of that idea! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it ain’t bad with this voice, so far; just anotha decent track fa me… Got tha 2nd part of tha 1st verse, here & this sounds like a betta voice; keep it movin’… Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2nd verse & it ain’t bad, here; rhymes are cool with tha “earthquake,” as well. Got tha 3rd verse, here & it’s anotha verse that’s decent; I’ono, I just feel like it’s only an okay track. Also, can’t forget to mention how long it iz! Geez, a 4th verse & it’s tha chick! This already seems too long…! Nothin’ really to say how she came through; tha whole track was just decent fa me. My Rating: 3.1
 
 
16. “L.A. To T.E.X.” feat. South Park Mexican
Producer: Don & Poochie
>>> Sounds like a decent intro & quiet-soundin’ beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1st part of tha verse & it aight with this Mexican featured; still, I’m not hearin’ anything that’s makin’ me jump for joy… Got a 2nd part of tha verse, here & it str8; wish more would go on in tha beat, tho… Damn, no hook? That gon hurt (transitioning); hearin’ tha 3rd part of tha verse & it’s betta than tha rest of tha parts of tha verse, so far. Props on tha southern content, str8 from tha hood…! Hearin’ tha 4th part of tha verse & it aight; that’s all I gotta say. Hearin’ tha 5th part of tha verse & it’s more rhymes from tha hood; not bad but bad for no hook…! My Rating: 2.7
 
 
17. “Young Hustla”
Producer: Platinum Fingers
>>> Good lil’ anthem; finally, some upbeat energy! Great job with tha hook & now, here comes tha 1st verse, soundin’ anthemic! Great job with tha energy; glad y’all got tha right dose, this tyme! Keepin’ this thang goin’ with tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ good fa tha streetz; y’all know what it iz! Glad there’s more energy ta uplift y’all, this tyme round! My Rating: 4.1
 
 
18. “Bendover” feat. T-Pop
Producer: Big Boom & Bryce
>>> Endin’ with an ‘80s/’90s-soundin’ production…; nice! Didn’t expect tha bounce “Triggaman” beat in this one; good shit! Hearin’ tha hook & even tho tha “Triggaman” iz in tha sample, tha beat still sounds kinda dry & tha hook’s delivery’s energy iz pretty much up there… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight; I’ono, I can’t jump fa joy with this, neither… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it literally sounds like a Lil’ Wayne relative or somethin’? Interestin’ Weezy-like flow; a catchy lil’ verse, overall. Keepin’ this goin’ with tha, well, bridge & it’s nice; kinda seemed like a 3rd verse, at first… My Rating: 3.8
 
 
Overall: Most of this went over well; felt more decent than excitin’ ta me but it was still nice ta review & listen to this. Now, just keep holdin’ dat 337 down, Big Boom! Louisiana gotta always stand up!!

Review #1,889: Mr. Wicked "Mr. Wicked"

Reviewed on 12.21.2019 (Review #1,889)


Keepin’ these reviewz goin’ wit Mr. Wicked Mr. Wicked up next, released in 1999 on Formaldehyde Records & was produced by Ice Mike! Also features Insane, G Quikk, Smokee & J-Dawg! Start Time: 11:11 AM | End Time: 11:58 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!

Link To CD: N/A


01. Intro (Niggaz Hittin’ A Safe)
>>> Definitely intense and gangsta, tha way I love it!! My Rating: N/A


02. “Night Time Falls (Fright Nite 2)” feat. J-Dawg
>>> Gotta luv tha eerieness!! Great production!! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s consistent; gotta luv it! Tha hook’s definitely for tha “Fright Niterz!” Gotta luv all these dark tracks!! Unstoppable 2nd verse, here, of course!! Gotta keep it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ dope! My Rating: 4.8


03. “Down South Hustler” feat. Zeeda
>>> Beat’s pretty dope, here, of course; good shit! Nice job wit how you come through wit tha 1st verse, here! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s nice ta hear! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and your hustle continues ta stay strong! Zeeda on tha 3rd verse, here, doin’ a nice job for tha undaground… My Rating: 4.5


04. “Tried To Told Ya”
>>> Sounds like a jammin’ track, here; good shit! Sounds like somethin’ a No Limit rapper would rap off of, but with your gangsta twist, here? Dope sounds on tha beat, 1st verse & hook! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty nice, as well… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3rd verse wit a crazy flow/beat/rhymes goin’ on, here!! A+++ rhymes!!! Gotta luv that you were pure and gotta luv that you have so much music that was released!! My Rating: 4.9


05. “Tru 2 Da Game”
>>> Keepin’ tha eerie production goin’ on, here, soundin’ nice; dope hook! “You neva know when you gonna go;” gotta get this shit done!! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty dope, here, soundin’ great! Gotta dig tha bass as it sounds dope while you rap this! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ like a dope verse, as well! I luv how you detectin’ these “new niggaz on tha scene,” as they’re checkin’ shit out… It sux that tha newbies kinda overrule tha world, but we gotta respect who came first (e.g., you)! We got tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice, too, as you keep these consistent, undeniable rhymes comin’ along! My Rating: 4.6


06. “I Represent”
>>> Anotha decent/good beat, here, with you doin’ ya thang on tha 1st verse, here…! You tha undaground rap machine, consistently spittin’ tha rhymes out!! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice from you, here, as well; trapped in da rhymes!!! I like how you mimicked Biggie with “if you don’t know, now you know!” See, when rappers mimic those that pass now, it sounds wack & I’m like, “Okay…?” However, even tho Biggie was still alive, here, it sounded nice that you quoted him… My Rating: 4.6


07. “Southern Funk”
>>> Nice lil’ beat, here, as well as you tearin’ up tha 1st verse! A female on tha hook, here, soundin’ nice wit her “southern funk!” Tha beat has a dope lil’ eerie-soundin’, G-“Funk”-type beat, here, on tha 2nd verse; good shit, 8! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and you consistently keepin’ it G, here, not stoppin’! My Rating: 4.4


08. “Pass Da 9”
Classic one, here? >>> Of course, still soundin’ nice, just like tha old “Pass Da 9”, wit Tre-8’s group, Westbank Coalition! Tha chick on tha hook’s dope! I reviewed that Westbank Coalition CD, Westbak Coalition, on May 28, 2009, exactly two years before you passed; crazy!! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse, too, of course, doin’ tha damn thang!! My Rating: 4.7


09. “Half Of Me”
Ice Mike doin’ this beat! >>> This sounds nice ta hear, here; great job wit tha beat, Mike! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds like an intense, paranoid-type style of rap, here, fa tha laidback undaground! Crazy with tha shit, “When I die…;” you left us with a lot, Tre!! Nice job wit tha 2nd verse, here; sounds good, even tho a lil’ less-intense than tha 1st verse… And, tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice… My Rating: 4.5


½time: A pure CD, so far, between tha production & your rapid-fire, quality, machine-spittin’ rappin’, here! Nice collabz, as well! A 4.6-rated CD, tha only way you know how ta do it!! Well, it ain’t that cold, but when it’s cold in my room, I usually have to shit… Ugh! Lemme go do dat, right quick & get back to this review… *Shits at 2:26 AM…* *Returns from shittin’ at 2:28 AM…* At least that was fast! Have to be at work in an hour! Gotta get this done & eat!!


10. “Datz How It’s Gone Happen”
>>> Sounds like a cool beat; luvin’ tha eerie sounds!! Gotta luv tha consistent lyrics from this “lyricist,” Tre!! Tha real way to deliver lyrics, not that bullshit they pull off today wit “My lyrics are good,” smh! Tha hook’s catchy; not bad… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ good wit how you “get hot like fire,” here! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse, here, and you’re keepin’ this shit goin’; gotta luv it! My Rating: 4.5


11. “On My Block”
>>> Almost sounds like a spoken-word freestyle? Nice job, here, ova this dark-soundin’ beat… My Rating: 4.2


12. “Dey Scared Of Me”
