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!

Tha 3rd verse sounds consistent; sounds REAL GOOD ‘round 3:52!! And now, 1:02 of a beat outro… My Rating: 
Tha beat sounds cool here, especially wit its uptempo sound! Tha 1st verse sounds good fa shit in tha hood! Really feelin’ these gangsta lyrics; gutta shit you can feel!! Tha 2nd part of tha 1st verse sounds good fa tha streetz; good voice ta hold tha hood down!! B.G.’s on tha 3rd part here, spittin’ consistent-ass shit!! “Huntin’ niggaz down like reindeers;” lol. Even though I’m on Long Island, NY right now, wit my grandma’s friend, we visited her future area and saw a “deer” runnin’ in tha woods, lol! Nice job, Gizzle!! Tha 4th part on tha 1st verse’s soundin’ REAL GR8 wit this drug-related content!! REAL GUTTA & REAL GANGSTA!!! It’s startin’ ta sound a lil’ off-beat all of a sudden… Ms. Tee randomly popped up on tha 5th part wit some good singin’ ta fuse wit dis shit! Tha 6th part here iz pretty gutta wit tha gr8 lyrical content!! Thumbs up to tha “hit tha ‘gar and choke” part @ 5:10; gotta feel good!! Damn, dis last part of tha verse’s goin’ ALL THA WAY ‘til like 6:07!!! My Rating:
