Continuin’
on with tha reviewz! Up next, tha late, great Growl Nitti Still Here,
released in 2000 on King Pen Records, entirely produced by Detention Home
Productions (Happy Perez, Carlos Wilkerson & Steve Below) & Patti
Kakes! Start Tyme: 11:44 AM | End Tyme: 12:58 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!

01.
Intro
>>>
Sounds like an outro-type production but it’s good ta slowly get listeners in
tha zone ta get ready fa this big shit! My
Rating: N/A
02.
“Ya Miss, Ya Lose”
>>> Sounds like a consistent way ta start off tha 1st
verse, here; catchy fa these 2000 streetz, with this street beat…! Hearin’ tha
hook & it sounds good; props fa havin’ your eyez on tha future prizes,
Nitti! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds nice with how you
deliver this street content; gotta respect it…! My Rating: 4.0
03.
“Wide Open” feat. Patti Kakes
>>>
Sounds like a good lil’ street beat fa tha south, once again; hearin’ you on
tha 1st verse & this street content goes well with tha vibe,
here… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s catchy with this “Wide Open” shit; gotta have
it “open” like dat! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from this Patti Kakes
& she sounds like a dry female rapper; like, spoken-word’s more fa her?
Keepin’ this thang movin’ with you on tha 3rd verse & it’s
soundin’ okay… I felt like my interest went to a dry level once Patti Kakes did
her verse… Also, nice lil’ reppin’ on tha outro, here, with tha peeps… My Rating: 3.1
04.
“Tha Peacemaker” feat. C-Loc
>>>
Hearin’ Loc on this & this beat makes me feel nice & confident,
Concentration Camp style! Hearin’ Loc on tha 1st verse & it’s
soundin’ like some dope shit from tha ‘90s; gotta luv when Loc in tha buildin’!
Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds good; I like how tha both of y’all come thru
on tha hook fa tha streetz! Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse & it
sounds decent with your flow; tha beat & Loc, basically, covered your
presence, here, no matter how you come through on tha mic… Keepin’ this thang
goin’ on tha 3rd verse & it’s you, comin’ through as a street’s
leader; good shit… Luv how Loc stated it: “Concentration Camp style” but
hearin’ tha “‘98” shit made me think, “I reviewed this in tha past?” *Checks…*
Guess not? My Rating: 4.3
05.
“Still Here”
>>> Sounds like a slower beat ta get you more in a focus… Hearin’ how
you comin’ through on this 1st verse & it sounds okay/good; stay
focused! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like one of your random, unexpected
catchy tracks. Just hearin’ you always say, “Still Here”, just makes me think
that you aimed for catchiness with this hook. Continuin’ on with tha 2nd
verse & it’s soundin’ aight; I feel your street perspective, tho. Keepin’
this thang movin’ with tha 3rd verse & it’s good; just seems
like it’s a lil’ long fa a track, overall… My
Rating: 3.6
06.
Interlude
>>>
Almost thought that was Greg Dukes on tha intro, fa a second… Anyway, this just
seems like an innocent vs. guilty-type of sappy interlude. My Rating: N/A
07.
“Just Say When” feat. Young Bleed
>>>
Sounds like a dope lil’ hood anthem, based off this beat; can’t wait ta hear…!
Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Bleed & he spittin’ dat true shit as
if this was tha Concentration Camp! Good shit! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s
pretty dope with tha both of y’all on this; great collab fa tha streetz!
Keepin’ this thang movin’ wit you on tha 2nd verse, here & it
sounds good with how you come through fa tha streetz, here; keep goin’! As this
keeps goin’, you’re on tha 3rd verse, as well, comin’ through with
nervousness in tha “nerves”; gotta let it be known! Ooh, a 2nd part
of tha 3rd verse from Bleed, as there’s only 22 seconds left! Nice
lil’ quickness delivered, here; every second counted!! My Rating: 4.4
08.
“Make A Move” feat. Lay-Lo
>>> A slower beat, with a West Coast-type of influence; how will this
turn out ta be? Hearin’ tha hook & it’s cool fa a lil’ slowie; I’ll give it
some of my props… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & it sounds
aight; hate ta say it but this joint may drag fa me… Keepin’ this thang goin’
wit Max on tha 2nd verse, soundin’ good with his lyrical content;
great job, Mr. Minelli! Keepin’ this thang goin’ wit J-Von on tha 3rd
verse, comin’ through with some consistent-soundin’ shit fa tha hood;
definitely feelin’ his Lay-Lo presence! My
Rating: 4.2
09.
“Grind (Remix)” feat. J-Von
>>>
Cool lil’ remix, here; nice beat & great shit wit what you bring to tha
hook, in a gangsta’s perspective. Keepin’ it instantly movin’ with tha 1st
verse from you, here, comin’ through wit havin’ a 100% focus on tha streetz;
good goin’… Keepin’ this shit goin’ with J-Von on tha 2nd verse,
here, comin’ through wit mo street content fa you ta channel; thumbs up, here…
With 1:33 left, will there be anotha verse or just this beat/outro…? Okay, 23
seconds later, here comes a 3rd verse from you, comin’ through as a
str8-up “soulja,” courtesy of tha “rag”; huh bruh… My Rating: 3.7
½tyme: Seems like a nice release
from you, here; some decent tracks but for tha most part, you got tha streetz
on lock, from tha N.O. to tha B.R.! Currently, your release iz at a 3.9
for tha average rating, currently; let’s keep it up!
10.
“Head Busser Party” feat. 50 Kal.
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ upbeat beat, here…; hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it str8 from this 50 Kal. dude. Some of his vocals are good but
some of his flow sounds random/a lil’ off? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse
& it’s soundin’ str8; just seems more like an odd focus on tha lack of a
consistent flow? I’m dozin’ off with tha remainder of this; just seems like an
outro & nothin’ much ta keep me interested, unfortunately… My Rating: 2.7
11.
“Curtains Call” feat. Lucky Knuckles
>>>
Beat sounds good fa tha hood, here; nice sounds fa tha streetz… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it sounds good; I dig tha slightly-eerie feelin’ of tha streetz,
here. Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; I dig how tha both of y’all collab on it.
Keepin’ this thang goin’ with Lucky Knuckles on tha 2nd verse, here,
comin’ through wit betta energy & street vibes, here; huh bruh…! Definitely
feelin’ how dude comin’ through wit his energy; definitely appreciated…!
Keepin’ it goin’ with you on tha 3rd verse & tha flow got more
on tha simple/dry side; wish you woulda channeled more from Lucky… As this
slowly ends, we got a long outro, here, ta keep tha gangstaz in check… Also, a
few sounds from tha hood added to spice thangz up, as well…! My Rating: 3.9
12.
“Pay Tha Piper” feat. Boo, Goldie & C-Loc
>>>
Sounds like a good lil’ hook & beat, here; gotta let it be known about tha
“pay”! Likin’ how C-Loc comin’ through on this but why he gotta be at tha end
of tha ID? Keepin’ it goin’ with mo rappin’, throughout this big collab; sounds
nice but I don’t have much feedback to leave… This collab shoulda been arranged
a lil’ betta? Doesn’t seem like I hear much of tha hook & just hear a bunch
of verse parts from each of y’all… My
Rating: 3.0
13.
“Eyes Closed” feat. 50 Kal.
>>>
Sounds like an okay beat but I prolly gon get bored fast with tha 5:20 length…
Hearin’ what’s good with tha 1st verse & it sounds a lil’
catchy; flow decent, too… Hearin’ tha hook & it ain’t bad with how you come
through about tha “eyes” bein’ “closed”; not bad… Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse from Mr. Kal. & it’s soundin’ betta than yours, here, courtesy of tha
flow, lyrics & voice; props fa tha contribution & collab… Hearin’ tha 3rd
verse that you bringin’ & it ain’t bad with how you keepin’ this track
on-n-poppin’; props fa tha effort… Also, there’s an outro on here ta extended
tha length to its 5:20; it’s whatev… My
Rating: 2.9
14.
Interlude
>>>
Sounds like you & tha chick ready ta fuck, based off of what I’m hearin’?
Just anotha interlude in a random world… My
Rating: N/A
15.
“Take Flight” feat. Patti Kakes
>>>
Beat sounds a lil’ slower & more on tha East Coast/Mobb Deep-type fa me,
here… Hearin’ what you got on tha 1st verse & it’s soundin’
okay; I feel tha darker vibe in tha beat fa your rhymes, this tyme… Oh boy, tha
Patti chick’s on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through with consistent
spoken shit, not really rappin’, imo…
As tha dry vibes continue, here you are, pickin’ up from where Patti left off,
spittin’ okay shit. It sounds like your flow’s really dry; like, it just sounds
like you’re speakin’ into tha mic, rather than rappin’? My Rating: 2.5
16.
“Drownin’” feat. Laboe
>>>
Beat ain’t too bad, here; I’ono how much I can appreciate your flow, on tha 1st
verse; just seems like a faster version of spoken-word shit? Hearin’ tha hook
& it’s kinda dry with that singin’; almost reminds me of Ed West on tha
hook… Hearin’ what you got goin’ on, as we continue with tha 2nd
verse & you keepin’ that iffy flow/decent rhymes in tha mix, here… As far
as tha rest of this, not really too into it; long lil’ depressed outro from
Laboe, as well… My Rating: 1.4
17.
“Manditory” feat. Jacko
>>>
Sounded like it went from tha rain to a street-soundin’ beat, based off tha
transition in tha intro; interestin’… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it
sounds okay with tha way you deliver these rhymes; not bad, overall… Tha rhymes
b4 tha 1st verse ended were pretty consistent; keep dat consistency
up! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s a lil’ catchy; I give you some props… Hearin’
tha 2nd verse & it’s soundin’ okay from you, as well; keep on
goin’… Keepin’ it goin’ with Jacko on tha 3rd verse, here, with a
darker-soundin’ voice & that good, street shit; thumbs up fa this collab…!
That “dope charge” from “February” was interestin’ ta hear; also, delivered in
a catchy way…! My Rating: 3.8
18.
“Small World”
>>> Beat sounds good but I’ono if I can fuck wit your flow, here, on
tha 1st verse…? Sounds like tha rhymes are just bein’ spoken, rather
than rapped? Hearin’ tha hook & it’s aight; just seems like it randomly fit
itself & kiddy/vocal ability in this track… Keepin’ it goin’ with tha 2nd
verse & your flow’s a lil’ betta; sounds like your vocals can be louder,
tho? Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & tha content’s betta with this
deeper street content; I’ll give it a lil’ more props than tha other two
verses… My Rating: 2.6
19.
“Situations” feat. 50 Kal.
>>>
Sounds like we’re endin’ with a quality-soundin’ track fa tha streetz, here;
nice hook & beat…! It’s all about those damn “Situations” that get in our
way! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from 50 Kal., startin’ tha verses off;
catchy/good shit, here…! Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 2nd verse
& tha rhymes are soundin’ consistent, here; good lil’ shit, as this shit
continues! Keepin’ it goin’ with tha 3rd verse & you sound good
with what’s bein’ brought to tha streetz, here; you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.1
Overall: Thought this woulda
turned out betta; however, certain flows, hooks & how some of tha tracks
were a lil’ long turned me off. Either way, glad you got ta release an album
& get your point of view out to tha world! Can’t believe next month, on
July 25th, gon be two decades since you were murdered!
