Reviewed on 6.04.2021 (Review #1,984)

 

 

As I try & get more of these thangz done, I got anotha version of what I just reviewed but in a screwed & chopped version: C-Loc Presents Concentration Camp Camp III: Thug Brothas (The Swishahouse Chopped-Up Remix), released in 2000 on C-Loc Records, entirely produced by C-Loc & Happy P! Start Tyme: 6:27 PM | End Tyme: 6:46 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!

½tyme: Seems like I don’t like this as much as tha original, or if tha same? Just must be tha continuously-screwed vibe? A 3.9 for tha average rating, currently; how will we continue…?

12. “Twist It Up”
>>> I know it was my top-rated track on tha original but it sounds like it’s just decent; I don’t feel too much humor or gangsta feelin’ outta tha hook, this tyme. You have to be really fucked up ta enjoy this to a maximum… My Rating: 4.0

Link To Release: N/A

 

 

01. On The Wire
Wasn’t this on It’s A Gamble? >>> Yeah, tha phone, only it’s not an old phone, this tyme; it’s a more-updated phone. Iz this tha “Kentucky” thing, again? I heard tha “Florida” thing & instantly thought of “Florida” Boulevard, from BR. Okay, no Kentucky but yeah, “Chuck E. Cheese,” here… My Rating: N/A

 

 

02. “They Ain’t ‘Bout No Trouble”
>>> Sounds good with tha undaground sound of how you come through on tha mic, as well as tha production provided…! Hearin’ what you got goin’ on with tha 1^st verse & it’s pretty dope, here; good shit! Luv tha hood shit you bring to this dope beat; eerie, eerie, eerie! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty hype with how you come through wit it; good shit! Luv how it sounds a lil’ humorous but nice with tha energy/southern feel! Hearin’ what you come through on tha 2^nd verse & it’s pretty dope with tha content you bring, here; consistency at its finest! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & it sounds like Lay-Lo, here, alternatin’ from a Max to a Von; dope idea for tha 2-Triple-0! Nice how this ends with a beat outro, here; definitely eerie & southern at its finest!! My Rating: 4.7

 

 

03. “Shit Real”
>>> Sounds pretty nice with what you bring to tha table on tha 1^st verse, here; gotta keep it “real,” of course. Gotta luv how you come through fa tha south on this compilation, courtesy of tha C-Camp! Got a youngin on tha 2^nd verse, here? Boosie? Am I trippin’, lol? Keepin’ this movin’ with that dude, once again; not Boosie but dude got both tha two verses on lock with their energy…! My Rating: 4.3

 

 

04. “Camp Camp”
>>> Sounds pretty intense, here, on tha hook; good shit, Loc! Tha beat’s pretty poppin’ fa tha 2000 tymes! Of course, you on tha 1^st verse & you got shit poppin’, here; luv how you have buku energy on this release! Keepin’ it movin’ with tha 2^nd verse, here, courtesy of tha Camp; flows pretty nicely in this mix. Some mo shit from tha 3^rd verse, here; go, Max Minelli! Givin’ peeps tha “asthma attack” & shit; intense, comin’ from a then-21-year-old! Consistent rhymes; unstoppable Camp member! Luv how he goes & it starts ta end, slowly but surely…! My Rating: 4.4

 

 

05. “B Get Off Me”
>>> Sounds like an okay beat, here; decent lil’ 1^st verse from you, Loc; glad you still got tha streetz on lock wit dis one…! Sounds like a silly lil’ hook with tha female but it’s still cool fa this dark undaground shit. Got Max on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit tha “Girbauds” & shit, knowin’ how ta come through like an O.G.; huh bruh…! Sounds like a good lil’ verse from Max, as he doesn’t stop channelin’ consistency! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse, here & tha Camp vibe continues; only O.G.z really appreciate shit like dis! My Rating: 4.0

 

 

06. “Outlaws”
>>> Definitely that dope shit, between tha beat & tha hook; always that “outlaw” life! It’s weird bein’ a human being that lost his innocence, not too long ago. Like, tha “outlaw” feelin’ goes wit you but you just do you, ya feel me? Hearin’ Loc on tha 1^st verse & it sounds good with what he bringin’, here; no wonder why Baton Rouge luvs tha streetz! Loc iz tha answer! Now, I hear tha “say Loc, I need ta know, if they real or fake” part; feels like I heard that once before, in tha past? Anyway, with this youngin spittin’ on tha 2^nd verse, it sounds aight; maybe, too young fa this track? Prolly coulda expected someone older… Either way, it looks like this turned out ta be a mixed review fa me; couldn’t tell which way I wanted ta go… Oh, a 3^rd verse, here; I’ll give it more props, Loc, since you added more… My Rating: 4.0

 

 

07. “Not A Thang Change”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ voice from tha hood on tha 1^st verse, here; good shit, good shit… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds cool wit how you express that only “tha weather” changes, Loc; good shit! Also, Loc, you’re on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through with dat street shit; can’t be denied, Loc! It’s literally awesome bein’ tha boss, huh, Loc? Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & it’s pretty dope with tha southern-southern voice; can’t deny it! Didn’t realize fa a second that there was an extra dude on this; good shit/keep tha hustle up! My Rating: 4.2

 

 

08. “We Fuckin’ Tonight”
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ intro, here; nice… Hearin’ tha beat & it’s definitely nice fa an undaground-soundin’ beat…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s aight fa me; lol, questionable tasks durin’ tha “fuckin’”? Between you & tha chick on tha hook, I’ono… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, Loc & it sounds like you’re in a great position durin’ these undaground tymes; glad you still around! Here comes tha chick on tha 2^nd verse & I’ono, I’ono if I can dig her…; I don’t have no feedback, basically, except that it was a good duet. My Rating: 3.7

 

 

½tyme: Sounds like a dope compilation from tha Camp, here; good shit, fa tha most part! We’re at a 4.2 for tha average rating, currently; good shit!

 

 

09. “Real Shit”
>>> Really diggin’ this creepy, eerie beat intro & how it takes a while b4 tha 1^st verse ta start!! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s Max, comin’ through wit some dope content fa tha streetz; definitely nice! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounded like a phone-call interlude or somethin’? Interestin’… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s you, Loc, comin’ through with dope street content on this beat; piggy-piggy-props…! Seemed like a nice 2^nd hook/interlude part ta zone out to…; felt like those seconds were real long! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse, as I continue & it’s nice; southern greatness at its finest! My Rating: 4.6

 

 

10. “Boosie”

My preview’s one word: “Boosie”. >>> Of course, who’s on tha 1^st verse? “Boosie”; gotta feel what he bringin’ to tha table with this content of tha hood…! Beat also sounds pretty nice; luv how it’s deep off in that Rouge with “Boosie”! Iz this one of tha youngest “Boosie” tracks? Sounds younger than that Youngest Of Da Camp release, despite bein’ tha same years…? My Rating: 4.4

 

 

11. “Twist It Up”
>>> Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, Loc…; sounds like a good lil’ joint, here, shmoke & track…! Beat sounds okay fa you ta rap on, as well; I give it its props… Oh boy, that hook’s pretty dope & deep, with tha voice! “Twist it up…; twist it up, my nigga!” Great thinkin’, Loc, includin’ that eerie sing-rappin’! Oh boy, got Boosie on tha 2^nd verse, too; luv how he has tha energy & focus ta do tha damn thang, here…! Keepin’ this movin’ with a total “weed”head on tha 3^rd verse, here, flowin’ nicely with tha beat, as well…! Btw, I’m fulla dat (THC) vape pen, right nah! My Rating: 4.8

 

 

12. “I Got Mine”
>>> Sounds like a good beat & how you holdin’ shit down on tha 1^st verse, Loc; undeniable & unstoppable! Likin’ how this transitions to Max on tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through as a Lay-Loian! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds nice with you & Max on it; keep gettin’ y’all’s! Props fa this energy & tha energy y’all applyin’ to this, especially you on tha 2^nd verse, Loc! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & it’s soundin’ more laidback with tha voice but this content’s still pretty nice… My Rating: 4.3

 

 

13. “Down South”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ beat & catchy 1^st verse, here; Concentrationtastic at its finest! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like a dope one, courtesy of C-Loc luvin’ to “ride tonight!” Definitely feelin’ tha catchiness! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds good with one of tha Camp members doin’ they shit! Always hoodtastic with tha “cornbread,” ya heard me? Keepin’ it movin’ with you on tha 3^rd verse, Loc, comin’ through wit mo leadership shit fa tha streetz; good shit! My Rating: 4.4

With that bein’ said, hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice, here… Tha hook sounds cool; you know how ta blend your verses and hooks well… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s a true gangsta tale, here! Definitely feelin’ your voice wit how it fits this beat/content! “Shmokin’ blunts, flickin’ ashes in ya ashtray;” such a great vibe…! Tha 3^rd verse’s keepin’ this story on-n-poppin’; good shit…! My Rating: 4.5

14. “We Don’t Stop” feat. Max Minelli

Producer: Happy Perez

>>> G-Funk-soundin’ beat sounds nice, here, as well as Max’s intro & hook; dope shit! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you and I’m diggin’ this dank you spittin’, here… Early version of YOLO, accordin’ ta Max? “You only live once,” on tha hook; good goin’, Max! Here we continue wit you on tha 2^nd verse, Bleed, keepin’ this gangsta tale series on-n-poppin’ (tha series iz called My Balls & My Word, of course)! “Pop a pimple on tha face of tha Earth;” ain’t dat gutta, Bleed, lol? Got you on tha 3^rd verse, here, sayin’ “age 22,” huh? Maybe, Wikipedia wrong? They say you’re born in ’78? You woulda been born in ’75, if you were “22,” by tha time this was released (in early ’98)? I’ono but good shit bein’ spit on this verse, once again… My Rating: 4.1

Overall: Great job wit tha pure gold, Bleed! You got a lot mo where that came from, as you kept tha CD releases comin’, afta this one! Keep up tha great work wit your gangsta tales, G-Funk beats & awesome collabz!

Review #1,657: C-Loc Presents Concentration Camp "Camp II: Da Halocaust"

Reviewed on 2.21.2017 (Review #1,657)

Barely had a chance to sleep since tha previous review, but I shall continue!! Here’s my review for C-Loc Presents Concentration Camp Camp II: Da Halocaust, released in 1998 on C-Loc Records & was produced by C-Loc, himself! Start Time: 1:53 AM | End Time: 2:51 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 and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

My Current Rating: 4.2

04. C-Loc, Laboe, Master P & Silkk The Shocker “Where The Playas At”
>>> Sounds good wit this No Limit style, on tha beat… Hearin’ Loc on tha 1^st verse and it sounds like a nice lil’ undaground tale, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds like a nice lil’ laidback track… Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice, here, even wit a Master P “ugh!” toward tha end of it! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3^rd verse, here, almost soundin’ like him? Why no credit, smh? Shit’s always confusing! My Rating: 4.2

05. Max Minelli, Young Bleed & C-Loc “Outside My Life”

>>> Anotha laidback track, here… Hearin’ Loc on tha 1^st verse and it decent; can’t deny it… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds like a nice lil’ singin’ hook, overall… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from Boo and it’s anotha nice lil’ verse fulla rhymes… And, we got Bleed on tha 3^rd verse, here, havin’ a nice lil’ addition to this… Just hearin’ this makes me anticipate my debut to Louisiana trip, comin’ up!

07. Growl Nitti & J-Von “Grind”
>>> Diggin’ this “grind”-type track fa this laidback vibe… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice, holdin’ tha undaground down… And, we keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice wit this real-life shit… It’s kinda like my best friend, who deals wit some of this shit. I try and lift him up as much as I can, since my brother died. I feel like I don’t want history to repeat twice, so me bein’ tha celeb, I can help my boy out! A 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice ta continue this track… My Rating: 4.1

08. Young Bleed “A Fool (Original)”
Let’s see, here… >>> I luv how tha title has to throw me off, smh! I know this sounds really familiar… I swear, people remade this shit or somethin’? Either way, regardless, beat’s dope, tha hook’s catchy and Bleed’s doin’ tha damn thang on tha 1^st verse… Oh yeah, “How You Do That”; that’s tha title. My bad, it’s been a minute wit err-thang… No wonder why I put “(Original)” in tha ID, here, since this a full-on Bleed version! He keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ nice and undaground… He hit gold/platinum status way before Gates—almost two decades! Tha first one in BR to do it! Gotta give props to Bleed! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3^rd verse, as well; can’t deny it! My Rating: 4.3

½time: A dope lil’ compilation from tha Concentration, here, lol! A 4.1-rated CD; gotta luv all y’all!

09. C-Loc, Lay-Lo & Lucky Knuckles “Cabbage Savage”
Looks like a dope title, here! >>> Loc comin’ through on tha 1^st verse, here, soundin’ nice… A 2^nd ½ of tha 1^st verse, here, soundin’ dope, too… “Pass tha microphone like we used to pass tha weed;” likin’ that line, even tho “used to?” Gotta be present, right? Tha hook sounds pretty dope! Almost thought it was Young Bleed on tha hook; sounds like him! Definitely a dope-soundin’ hook/voice, tho! We keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, as it’s a hustla’s quest to get his hustle up! Definitely nice! As we continue with more of tha 2^nd verse, here, we got Loc, doin’ a nice job… Even more wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear… My Rating: 4.3

10. Max Minelli, Lee Tyme & C-Loc “Nothin’ To Lose”
>>> More of a laidback vibe, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from Max and it’s pretty nice, here… I’m likin’ how it sounds a lil’ faster wit tha flow, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it ain’t bad, here… Keepin’ it movin’ wit Lee on tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ decent… Loc, you’re on tha 3^rd verse, here, keepin’ it movin’ like a consistent boss… My Rating: 4.1

11. Lamorris “Didn’t Mean To Do It”
>>> Gon be a singin’ track with 5:07 on tha length? This prolly gon drag… I have to say, I do like tha slow, laidback vibe in tha middle of nowhere, tho… Yeah, there’s no point in me even havin’ much ta say, here… My Rating: 3.2

12. Lay-Lo & C-Loc “Dog-Ass Hoes”
>>> A plain beat, here, with Max soundin’ decent on tha 1^st verse, here… J-Von also soundin’ pretty nice, contributin’ a group effort… Tha hook sounds really plain? Iz it…? Nothin’ much goin’ on but a random voice? Now, here we are with tha 2^nd verse, soundin’ decent, once again… Almost thought I was gonna hear Loc, but here it iz, an official hook! Saved tha hook fa last, huh? Pretty dope hook, tho… My Rating: 3.4

13. Goldie & Boo The Boss Playa “Solitaire”
>>> A decent beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s a lil’ more upbeat than some of tha previous tracks on here… I’m likin’ how tha beat has its own intense moments, in some of tha sounds (if you can hear tha “dinn-dinn, dinn-dinn”)! Tha hook sounds pretty plain, calm & random, tho? Tha 2^nd verse iz a lil’ laidback-soundin’, here… This startin’ ta sound a lil’ boring fa me, as it’s a lil’ too plain-soundin’… My Rating: 3.5

14. C-Loc, Growl Nitti, J-Von & Silkk The Shocker “Candy & Cream”
Looks like a familiar title…? >>> Loc on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice, here… Tha beat’s not bad, as well, as it keeps this shit movin’… “Knowin’ one day, they gon find you in a ditch.” That’s true ‘cause I was in one just two dayz ago! Fuckin’ 60 degrees out and I was stuck in a snow ditch, in between two houses, smh! Anyway, keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and it’s decent, here… It’s almost like most of these verses on this CD sound similar with not much spark in ‘em… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice; diggin’ tha title part… You already know it’s all about tha “cream!” Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s soundin’ nice from Mr. Von, deliverin’ dat aggression! My Rating: 3.8

15. Lucky Knuckles & C-Loc “When Times Get Rough”
>>> Sounds like a decent beat with a decent 1^st verse, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds nice… It’s almost like my broski lookin’ up ta me “when times get rough,” here… Hearin’ Loc on tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty nice, too… Tha rest of this shit sounds pretty nice; gotta luv what y’all bring! Nice lil’ shmokin’ at tha end? My Rating: 4.0

16. Lay-Lo, C-Loc & Young Bleed “Sickess (Radio)”

See #1 fa tha review!

Overall: I thought this was a nice lil’ compilation disc. Some tracks sound like they sound a lil’ plain but for tha most part, err-body’s quality rappers, here…
