Review #1,260: Young Gage "Certified Lyrical"

Reviewed on 2.02.2013 (Review #1,260)

My next review for today iz Young Gage Certified Lyrical. Start Time: 5:19 PM | End Time: 5:31 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 use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “Rapstar Intro”

Phil Mic production. >>> Tha beat actually sounds nice, and your lyrical rhymes sound good, consistently! Nice beat ending, too! My Rating: 4.5

02. “Let Me Know” Feat. Phil Mic

Phil Mic production. >>> This iz a nice and laidback vibe… Your rhymes sound good, and tha singin’ on tha hook’s pretty nice… My Rating: 4.3

03. “Comfortable / Interlude” (Dexter Nicholas)

Phil Mic production. >>> Just singin’? Okay, but sounded like Drake. My Rating: 2.4

04. “Climaxx Music” Feat. L.Franchise & Coppertop

D.J. beat. >>> I don’t like tha sample shit in tha background, nor iz tha beat good for me. Tha verses ain’t too bad, but tha beat’s disturbing me… My Rating: 3.2

05. “Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing”
>>> Not bad; hook’s not that bad, but I like rappin’ better… My Rating: 3.6

06. “Not A Dream”
D.J. beat. >>> Good rhymin’, here; I like that there’s no hook and that it sounds like wind! My Rating: 4.0

07. “Money Train” Feat. L.Franchise

I.M.P. On Da Beat beat; really? Rappin’ about “money” iz lyrical? “Money” iz slang for dildos, right? >>> Yuck, even a beat tag in tha beat tag; not lyrical at all!! Beat sounds good, but this ain’t really for me… Why does every rapper have to have songs about “money”? I don’t think I made a song about it, unless lottery tickets are involved… My Rating: 3.0

½time: A real nice start, although it’s turnin’ into a decent CD…; 3.6 for tha CD rating, currently.

08. “Best Is Home” Feat. Qwest

Phil Mic production. >>> This beat iz decent; tha rhymes sound good… Almost forgot that Qwest was a mainstream artist, I think? If that’s tha case, then why iz this here? My Rating: 3.3

09. “Listen Up” Feat. Luke St. John

Phil Mic production. >>> Good rhymes; beat’s okay, once again. Tha hook sounds pretty good wit tha “listen up” shit. Nice rhymes comin’ through in tha 2^nd verse, too… My Rating: 3.7

10. “Beastie”

Phil Mic production. >>> Nice and quick; good rhymes over a decent beat, once again. My Rating: 3.9

11. “Too Close (Snippet)”
B. Oneal beat. >>> A lil’ below tha previous songs fa me; beat’s a lil’ too mainstream, and that singin’ on tha hook’s weird. “Paper chaser;” damn, tha dildos again!! No homo @ this song! My Rating: 2.8

12. “On You” Feat. Ross P

>>> This iz okay, once again. I think it works good for a collaboration, and tha hook’s soundin’ a lil’ betta after hearin’ it a few times… I dunno, should I take points off for tha last three seconds? My Rating: 3.5

13. “I’m Gon Make It” Feat. Dexter Nicholas

Phil Mic production. >>> Nice lyrics; beat’s okay, once again. Tha singin’ ain’t too bad on tha hook, either. My Rating: 3.6

14. “Outro”

>>> I thought tha audio quality was a lil’ low, at first… Lots of lyrics, here, and tha beat’s… …aight. Wow, “myspace.com/younggage225;” ever hear of Facebook? My Rating: 3.7

Overall: Turned out to be just a decent CD for me; I thought it was gonna be real good, based off tha first two songs, but it looks like you’re gonna have to work on it better! Oh yea, why tha money songs?

Link To CD: http://marcelpblack.bandcamp.com/album/iluv-h-e-r-too-2

01. “Rashid”

An intro from Nas, too… >>> Nas sounds a lil’ quiet in tha beginning… Prolly should’ve turned his volume up… This title looks familiar, but I don’t remember if I played it on my radio show or anything; played so many songs of yours on my show… Anyway, nice beat to rap on, you sound good, and this iz some good shit ta bob ya head to! My Rating: 4.3

02. “iLuv H.E.R. Too” Feat. Elespee

Title track. >>> Beat sounds good, here, too; anotha head-bobber! I like how you said, “TLC ‘Creep’;” good job mentionin’ dat song in a part of your rhymes! Definitely a nice job kickin’ ass wit tha rhymes, and doin’ a great job tellin’ your message! Thumbs up for tha hook, “too,” as well as all tha names I heard in tha hook! Elespee’s on tha 2^nd verse, and he sounds great wit tha rappin’; feels like you’re on a fast road trip or somethin’, or sittin’ somewhere in tha hood! Whoo! You’re really rapid on tha 3^rd verse, really enjoyin’ this shit! LOL, I like how you say, “bruh;” glad you’re really in tha mood fa this music shit! My Rating: 4.5

03. “eMCee Squared” Feat. Luke St. John

>>> Good intro; gotta keep tha “positive hip-hop” active, whereva it iz! Got Luke St. John kickin’ off tha rappin’, here, and it sounds nice ta hear; consistency at its finest! Did I forget to mention, this beat’s got a nice feel to it, NYC style! Tha hook sounds nice, too; I can feel it, wit tha sample and what’s good wit it. You’re on tha 2^nd verse, and you’re comin’ through wit these worldwide rhymes! My Rating: 4.2

04. “eMCee Squared” Feat. IL Duce & Box

Anotha version, back ta back? >>> Beat’s different, here, but I like these rappers a lil’ betta, on tha feature! IL Duce’s startin’ it off, and you already know wit him: he kicks ass wit his rhymes, non-stop, wit, like, every lyric!! Real nice job, Duce!! I’m hearin’ tha hook now, and you got some tight shit goin’ on, here, wit tha “I’m a real MC;” plus, I really like how tha title looks! Here’s Box on tha 2^nd verse, and he’s kickin’ ass wit his rhymes! It’s more like a callout to those bitch-asses! Speakin’ of which, I had one block me from Facebook ‘cause I reviewed a CD they produced a few jointz on. I actually said I liked their beats, and they untagged themselves outta tha post (that I do on Facebook of reviewz)! I asked them why they untagged me—as well as it bein’ gay, and they blocked me; WTF?!? Fuck!! Anyway, on a positive perspective, here you are on tha 3^rd verse, and these rhymes are too kick-assy!!! You’re very consistent wit it, and you can’t be stopped!!! My Rating: 4.7

05. “Respect My Mind”

>>> Only 95 seconds long? Glad there’s some short songs ta go wit tha regular lengths; great way ta break it up! Sounds like straight-up rappin’ ova a nicely-produced beat! My Rating: 4.3

06. “Somethin’ 2 Say”

>>> Beat sounds good ta rap on; a lil’ slower, but tha hip-hop breathes in tha air! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and it sounds good wit what you’re sayin’! Tha hook sounds nice, too, wit tha distorted voice! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, too, wit how you’re tryna “prove” ta people! My Rating: 4.2

½time: So far, a nice job done!! I think my anger’s helpin’ me listen to this right now, when I thought I’d be opposite and impatient, lol! Currently, we’re at a 4.4 for tha CD rating, right now!!!! I have ta say, features help a whole lot; hope to hear more, here and there!

07. “Somethin’ 2 Say Too”

>>> This sounds pretty good, too; I almost feel tha same as what I did wit tha previous song! Good beat, great lyrics, and you don’t stop!! My Rating: 4.2

08. “What They Do”

>>> Yea, I feel you wit these lyrics; “what happened” to tha singin’ lyrics and shit “at tha concerts”? Great shit! Glad I buy music, here and there! Also, my reviewz are unique; I don’t see anyone else doin’ ‘em! Year-end countdowns—I can go on and on! Good job wit tha 1^st verse; you did a nice job figurin’ out “what” happened! Tha beat sounds good, too, wit tha East Coast-y vibe; tha hook’s nice wit what you’re tryna say! I like tha random “what they do” sample, too; “Backstabbers” bein’ remixed in tha beat and err-thang in a non-boring way. It’s like, you don’t hear tha whole sample in its regular form! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, and it sounds pretty tight; I agree wit tha “live wit your moms” shit. Even though I do, I can’t picture these rappers (or anyone) bringin’ up their “moms” in conversations, especially since I always got picked on, during my childhood! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse, and it sounds like you’re provin’ more to these “people;” good job! Thought there’d be only two verses, but you made this one longer. My Rating: 4.1

09. 1Luv: Interlude

Donney Rose doin’ tha interlude, here. >>> Nice prayer. My Rating: N/A

10. “1Luv: Revisited” Feat. James Jackson, A.R. & Truth Universal

>>> Startin’ wit a sample, remixed style… Tha beat ain’t too bad, but sounds good once you start rappin’ on tha 1^st verse; good job! Tha hook sounds good; it’s like a New York-type joint wit tha “1Luv” shit. Hearin’ James Jackson on tha 2^nd verse, and it’s a decent/above-average verse; I think you’re betta than him, though, Marcel. Outta nowhere, A.R. came and took off for tha 2^nd ½ of tha 2^nd verse; pretty-good rhymes, here. Happy ‘late’ birthday; can’t believe he’s younger than me, too. Clean version of this CD? Interestin’… Hearin’ this Truth Universal dude on tha 3^rd verse, and he’s got some good rhymes ta offer; good shit ta hear! Hearin’ IL Duce and Box were two of tha best of your collaborations, though! I’m listenin’ to you right now, and you’re nice and fulla rhymes! Can’t even say you’re hungry ‘cause you’re full, and are farting, burping, and lettin’ out all these rhymes! Now, this iz where a longer length helps—collaborations! Props to J Filly! My Rating: 4.3

11. “Celebrate (Remix)” (Common Feat. Marcel P. Black & John Legend)

Luke St. John on tha feature? Anyway, let’s see how you do wit this remix… >>> Could’ve added John Legend on tha—oh, that’s who tha John iz, lol. Didn’t say it in tha filename, but scrollin’ on tha Bandcamp link, it’s there. Also, this CD’s released on your birthday? That’s a nice present! Common’s part iz good to hear wit you, but let’s see what you really have ta—more Common! Prolly could’ve limited an inserted artist to one verse, but at least he ain’t wack… Good lyrics; good rhymes… Now, hearin’ you on tha 3^rd verse, and yea, this iz tha voice I wanna hear! There’s attitude in your voice, while Common sounded a lil’ laidback for what your CD sounds like… But yea, nice job wit what you’re spittin’, “freedom” style! My Rating: 3.8

12. “Black President”

LOL, this ended a CD, once again. Oh wait, this iz a CD; previously, it was EPs… My Current Rating: 3.5

Overall: Seemed like one of your best? For bein’ double tha size of your EPs, you put a nice vibe, here, between your hood shit, attitude, and tha features were nice to hear!! Keep up tha great work, especially collaborations!!

Rankings:

11.        “Black President” 3.5

01. Shorty Do Whop
>>> Nas start? Afta tha Nas start, I like tha lil’ intro part; sounds like people in a regular, quiet hood, lol. This iz kinda long; I thought this was a song, lol. My Rating: N/A


02. “Untitled”
>>> Beat’s a lil’ plain/East Coast for me but your rhymes are nice. My Rating: 3.8


03. “Venting”
>>> Tha beat start sounded a lil’ weak for me but now, once tha rhymes came in, tha beat’s soundin’ like a decent undaground-soundin’ one. Wit your rhymes, they’re consistent, once again. However, I thought I’d hear more of an attitude on your delivery since you called this “Venting”. My Rating: 3.9


04. “Exhale”
>>> Tha beat iz aight, this time; still feelin’ your rhymes… My Rating: 3.7


05. “Blow Your Smoke” Feat. Dinero (of Da Goonz)
Ooh, a Goon collab wit a “Smoke” title? Have I heard dis? >>> Ooh, a new song; thumbs up fa tha collab and my big dawg Bonka fa followin’ me! Tha beat’s nice and smooth fa dis content; tha hook sounds good—can’t deny anything wit “smoke” in it, ya dig? You doin’ a nice job wit tha 1st verse; tha rhymes are consistent and fit good fa dis, once again. Yay, Dinero on tha 2nd verse; gotta feel tha “goonout” shit! When Bonka/whoeva said, “goonout,” ta me, I thought dat was hella cool. Ooh, addin’ some “show me ya titties” shit; thumbs up! Also, a lil’ bit of Lil’ Kim “Lighters Up” for a bridge? Actually, it sounds catchy—in a “smoke” way, lol! You’re back on tha mic, here, comin’ through wit some good rhymes, although in a Drake/Wayne flow… My Rating: 4.3


½time: Hangin’ on wit a decent level wit tha ratings. However, for tha CD rating standin’ at a 3.9, this sounds more like a pretty good-soundin’ CD, ya dig?


06. “What They Do”
>>> Anticipatin’ beat start, for some reason… Startin’ off wit tha hook and it sounds catchy wit tha melody and title! Ooh, a hustle-type song vs. lovin’ rappin’! Props on havin’ a betta-than-usual-soundin’ song, once again! My Rating: 4.2


07. “Kool & The Gang” Feat. Bonka (of Da Goonz)
OMG, Bonka on tha feature!!! Damn, this should be pretty tight, in any situation!! >>> Fade-out after 15 seconds, lol? Wonder what gon happen… Sounds like a dinner at a restaurant wit tha music, lol. Damn, long beat intro? Finally, at :53, here you are on tha 1st verse, soundin’ good! Wow, consistent rhymes; can’t deny it! Really lookin’ forward to my big dawg Bonka!! Ooh, I like how there’s no hook; adds a different spice to tha table, ya dig? *Gets impatient* Bonka!!! Where are you?!? Ooh, here he iz on tha 2nd verse? Shit yea!! I’m feelin’ all tha rhymes; lol, what’s next? “I give ‘em hard dick;” sounds like freestylin’. Once again, nice job, you guys. I was a lil’ iffy about puttin’ it above tha “Smoke” song but this iz easily better. My Rating: 4.4


08. “Love”
>>> This iz kinda mainstream for me; nothin’ too special… My Rating: 3.1


09. “Abu Dabi”
Looks like an interestin’ title; I can fuck wit non-U.S.-type shit! >>> Tha beat’s aight, here; rhymes sound cool… Tha hook sounds interestin’ wit this random title, as well as your “ship it out…” shit. My Rating: 3.6


10. “Dope. Cypher” (IL Duce, Gage, Luke St. John, A.R., 2feet, LG & Ronny My)
LOL, bonus? That’s what’s up; longest song I eva played on my radio show, lol! Previously reviewed on Ronny My’s “The Other Blues Brotha” CD, here’s what I said: Damn, 9:40!! IL Duce iz startin’ dis off and it’s A+ at its finest!!! I feel dat this easily gon be tha best one on here!! I believe this iz tha same Gage I knew from a DatPiff CD I checked out, known as Young Gage? Sounds good; very consistent!! BTW, this iz a 1st: since when iz there a period in tha title? Thumbs up on tha different shit ta make it seem lucky. Next up, Luke St. John, doin’ a real nice job, too! So much shit you could quote and enjoy here!! Let’s hear what Mr. Problem Child Entertainment dude A.R. has ta offer… Likin’ what he bringin’, too! You know I fuck wit him, ya dig? A.R., what up? You know what it iz! 2feet, a.k.a. Two Feet, iz up next; didn’t realize they were tha same people. Wit what 2feet’s offerin’, it sounds like some good, non-Louisiana-type shit (yea, I know he from Louisiana); good shit! LG’s next, keepin’ it goin’, here! There’s over four minutes left, lol! Iz it gonna be a long outro at tha end or somethin’? Here’s Ronny My, almost soundin’ like an outro at first, lol. Pretty catchy; nothin’ beats tha 1st three dudes, though! LOL, good ending ta his verse as there’s a lil’ less than two minutes left. Tha beat outro’s kinda long fa an ending but whateva… My Current Rating: 4.8


Overall: I thought this was ½ pretty good and ½ decent, which averages out ta about a good CD!

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): http://marcelpblack.bandcamp.com/album/1luv-a-hate-story-ep


01. “Luv/Hate (Intro)” Feat. Radio Raheem & Mookie
>>> I like tha Public Enemy music in tha background; good choice, lol. Good job wit tha radio intro and now, let’s hear dis song… Tha production iz decent; let’s hear what you got, P: Okay, good attitude, here, wit tha “middle fingers.” Good job representin’ fa your people and those that passed away. I thought Mookie was gonna be Mookie Blakk? Guess he was in tha intro ‘cause it’s mainly you rappin’. My Rating: 4.2


02. “Meche & Jamal”
>>> If my gurl Alexia interviewed you, she’d prolly say, “aw man, he iz so good,” lol; too bad she’d have ta be in person wit you. Anyway, tha production’s nice, here, and tha rhymes are good, too; a day in a life of Marcel P. Black, here, early 2011 style! Nice job wit this story; glad it ain’t boring, either. My Rating: 3.9


03. “iLuv H.E.R.”
>>> Iz Common’s song gonna appear or somethin’? Sounds more on your tip, original style. Tha rhymes are good and entertainin’ wit your voice, here; nice job wit anotha story! Tha hook’s decent; good motivation, here. My Rating: 3.6


½time: Only three songs from you, so far, and tha CD rating’s at a 3.9, currently.


04. “1Luv”
Somewhat-title track, here. >>> Beat’s good for you and this sounds good; I like this betta than tha “iLuv H.E.R.” joint. Tha hook’s a nice representation of Louisiana; gotta show “luv,” ya dig? My Rating: 3.8


05. “Nigerian Hair” Feat. LB
L.B. from Word Of South, lol? Let’s see dis Weezy-lookin’ title… >>> Tha beat’s a lil’ betta, here, and you’re keepin’ shit on ‘n’ poppin’ wit how you deliver shit and tha way this joint sounds. Thought tha hook would be a simple, Weezy sample—oh, neva mind, here it iz, lol. Yea, unlike havin’ tha whole hook as tha sample, at least you had a catchy 1st ½ of tha hook and had a lil’ bit of Wayne on tha sample, too; good job! Glad you keepin’ shit on ‘n’ poppin’ wit tha “Nigerian” shit, lol. LB’s on tha 3rd verse and I don’t think this iz tha L.B. from Word Of South, hence tha no periods in his name. Not bad wit tha rappin’, here; you’re a lil’ betta, P. My Rating: 4.2


06. “Bridging The Gap” Feat. Luke St. John & Truth Universal
>>> LOL, tha intro iz tha same lil’ thing (tha radio sound) dat one of tha radio DJs used for his radio show promo. LOL, I was waitin’ for tha “crazy” shit he was gonna say, lol! Anyway, not too much interest in dat random voice in tha intro but at least tha rappin’ iz soundin’ good on tha 1st verse; nice job. Ooh, tha hook has mixin’—New York style—in it, like back in tha day; thumbs up. You’re on tha 2nd verse and you keepin’ tha facts comin’! Definitely feelin’ your flow on here; you definitely have entertainment wit what you come through wit, ya dig? Ya feel me? Tha 3rd verse sounds good, too; more, great rhymes! My Rating: 4.1


07. “Goodbye (Outro)”
>>> Ooh, I like how tha beat’s creepin’ up and I like how dis sounds! Are you gonna rap on this? Kinda anticipated wit dis beat goin’ on… Okay, good, at :47, tha rappin’ starts! BTW, tha intro was nice; you kept me in-tune, thanx to this beat! Rhymes are hella consistent and surprisingly, lol, this’ll be topping my rankings from this CD; who would’ve guessed? Very consistent shit, here! My Rating: 4.4


Overall: Thumbs up fa puttin’ anotha EP out, bruh!

This next review iz Ronny My “The Other Blues Brotha”; how will it go? Start Time: 9:34 PM | End Time: 10:01 PM


Quick Note: 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.

01. “These Beautiful Drugs” Feat. Intrigue
ROFL @ this title; looks really anticipatin’, too, lol! >>> Ooh, acapella style! Very interestin’; should sound real nice on my radio show, regardless of tha title, lol! Was this just Intrigue? My Rating: 4.4


02. “Show Me Love”
>>> I like this vibe in tha beat as well as how you’re bringin’ shit to tha table. Tha hook sounds funny wit tha repeatin’ of tha title, lol. My Rating: 4.2


03. “You Know” Feat. Glen Swisher
LOL, Swisher style, lol! >>> Tha content iz definitely interestin’ on this decent beat—beat soundin’ betta wit y’all on it. Tha hook’s pretty smooth, too, wit how it sounds wit tha title. Good collaboration; y’all doin’ a nice job together. Glen was on tha 1st verse and you did ya thang on tha 2nd verse. My Rating: 4.1


04. “Scar’d Me” Feat. TreeHead
>>> Thought tha title was “scared” somethin’, lol. This ain’t too bad; tha beat’s, just, decent fa me. A decent collaboration, too; not much ta say… My Rating: 3.6


05. “Louis Armstrong”
>>> Sounds a lil’ betta; sounds like you improved from your last CD. Tha rappin’ iz consistent and tha beat ain’t too bad, either. My Rating: 3.8


½time: You have a 4.0-rated CD, so far; that’s good fa tha shit you makin’!


06. “Just Another Tuesday” Feat. Nick Nitro & TreeHead
>>> Mainly ‘cause of tha title, this gives me a catchier perspective when thinkin’ of how tha song gon sound like. Tha lyrics are interestin’ ta listen to… Tha hook sounds somewhat-catchy, too. Good job on all tha verses; y’all did a good job. My Rating: 4.0


07. “If I Can Go Back”
>>> Just a decent song wit good content; I’m actually likin’ this smooth beat. My Rating: 3.8


08. “Am Who I Am”
>>> This sounds good/above average, too. I’m likin’ tha East Coast-soundin’ production as well as your vibe, too. My Rating: 3.9


09. “Real 4rm Da Start” Feat. LG & Luke St. John
>>> Sounds like tha last song wit tha production; feelin’ it, once again. You did a nice job on tha 1st verse and tha hook, of course, sounds “real”, ya dig, lol? I like tha collaboration, too; everyone doin’ a consistent job when it comes ta dis Rap shit! My Rating: 4.2


10. “Lil’ Boy Lost” Feat. Meagan Simone
>>> Tha lady on this song ain’t too bad and tha story’s pretty interestin’. For a song, it’s only aight fa me. Hearin’ tha hook for a second time and tha “pick on me” shit’s startin’ ta give me interest. You know I was hated and picked on back in tha day so this has some more interest fa me. My Rating: 3.7


11. “Dope. Cypher” (IL Duce, Gage, Luke St. John, A.R., 2feet, LG & Ronny My)
Whoa, what’s this bonus? >>> Damn, 9:40!! IL Duce iz startin’ dis off and it’s A+ at its finest!!! I feel dat this easily gon be tha best one on here!! I believe this iz tha same Gage I knew from a DatPiff CD I checked out, known as Young Gage? Sounds good; very consistent!! BTW, this iz a 1st: since when iz there a period in tha title? Thumbs up on tha different shit ta make it seem lucky. Next up, Luke St. John, doin’ a real nice job, too! So much shit you could quote and enjoy here!! Let’s hear what Mr. Problem Child Entertainment dude A.R. has ta offer… Likin’ what he bringin’, too! You know I fuck wit him, ya dig? A.R., what up? You know what it iz! 2feet, a.k.a. Two Feet, iz up next; didn’t realize they were tha same people. Wit what 2feet’s offerin’, it sounds like some good, non-Louisiana-type shit (yea, I know he from Louisiana); good shit! LG’s next, keepin’ it goin’, here! There’s over four minutes left, lol! Iz it gonna be a long outro at tha end or somethin’? Here you come, almost soundin’ like an outro at first, lol. Pretty catchy; nothin’ beat tha 1st three dudes, though! LOL, good ending ta your verse as there’s a lil’ less than two minutes left. Tha beat outro’s kinda long fa an ending but whateva… My Rating: 4.8


Overall: This was definitely somethin’ nice from you, Ron! Good job, especially tha surprise at tha end! It would be cool if I got that last bonus song onto my radio show; that would be a great feelin’! Keep doin’ you…
