Keepin’
these reviewz goin’, I can do a 2nd one today, luckily! MC L Keep
Steppin’ 1997 Ward, released in 1997 on Bally Boy Records! Start Time: 2:59 PM | End Time: 3:48 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 and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

all about tha passion before tha money! Baleedat! Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and it’s soundin’ like a nice lil’ verse wit tha “longevity”-type
content… Spittin’ dem facts on tha 3rd verse, here, “hookin’ [‘em]
up for less;” nice! I like how you said, “Hustlin’ in 2007;” now, it’s 2017!

sound… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice ta hear, “Bally Boy” style…
Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice ta hear… Feelin’
your aggression on tha 2nd verse, as you wanna “hunt [their] fuckin’

times!! My Rating: 4.2

“Gonna See My Father”
Produced
by Boosey, Jazz & Ko-Ko Red… >>> Endin’ with a quiet-soundin’
beat, here, but still nice for tha ‘90s undaground scene… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and it ain’t bad, here; what else can I say? Hearin’ tha hook and yeah,
sounds like a good wish ta “see [your] father.” We’ll see how that goes when I
“see my” brother, in tha future! Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, here;
nice rhymes… And, tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through, tellin’ your
story like it iz… My Rating: 3.7
