Review #1,982: C-Murder "Trapped In Crime"

Reviewed on 6.04.2021 (Review #1,982)

 

 

Here comes my 1,982^nd review: C-Murder Trapped In Crime, released in 2000 on No Limit Records, Priority Records & TRU Records! Start Tyme: 8:39 AM | End Tyme: 9:49 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

Link To Release: N/A

 

 

01. Intro

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Nice beat & intro from that boy, C-Murder…! My Rating: N/A

 

 

02. “Forever TRU”
Producer: XL
>>> Tha hook & beat sound good ta kick this album off; almost seems more like a vacation with tha beat than a street-soundin’ beat? Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you & it sounds aight with what you’re bringin’, here; can’t say much… Hearin’ what you got goin’ on with tha 2^nd verse & it ain’t bad, still… Nice lil’ mixed outro from Biggie, as well…! My Rating: 3.8

 

 

03. “Concrete Jungle” feat. Snoop Dogg, Eastsidaz & KokeKane

Producer: LT
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ 1^st verse from Snoop, here; likin’ how tha beat sounds like a mix between non-Louisiana & a Louisiana vibe, as well… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds aight; just seems like a random voice. Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 2^nd verse, here, spittin’ some good shit… Hearin’ you rap on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through with good street shit; gotta give you props, alwayz… My Rating: 3.7

 

 

04. “They Don’t Really Know” feat. Master P & Erica Fox

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Diggin’ tha alarm clock in tha beat, here; not really my cup of tea with tha R&B singin’ from Erica on tha hook, tho… Damn, even Erica on tha 1^st verse? Naw; way too soft for a C-Murder track! Even you startin’ your verse off on tha 2^nd verse with “1 + 1 = 2”? *Sigh*… Keepin’ this movin’ with P on tha 3^rd verse, here & he spittin’ a good lil’ verse. Surprised how I’d like a P verse betta than a C verse, while tha both of them on tha same track… My Rating: 2.5

 

 

05. “How A Thug Like It” feat. Da Brat

Producer: Jermaine Dupri & Bryan-Michael Cox

Goin’ to tha ATL for inspiration? >>> Sounds nice with tha Jermaine Dupri-soundin’ intro & beat, here… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds interestin’ how you collaborated with Da Brat, here; nice collab on tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you & it sounds betta than tha previous song, with how you’re comin’ through fa these ladies & street headz… Keepin’ this movin’ with Da Brat on tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ good fa tha 2000. She did her thang with her Tyrese-featurin’ “What Chu Like”, which I really enjoyed in 2000. Now, I get ta hear her collab with you & it sounds great to add to “What Chu Like”’s 2000 presence. Hearin’ tha both of y’all go back & forth on tha 3^rd verse & it sounds nice with tha street content. It just seems weird ta hear Brat rap about tha streetz, tho; either way, props fa pumpin’ her up, C! My Rating: 3.9

 

 

06. “Want Beef” feat. Fat Joe

Producer: Ke’noe

>>> Beat’s cool from Ke’noe, here…; hearin’ Joey Crack on tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through with anotha good, non-Louisiana contribution ta your album, C… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like a wild event; keep buckin’ ‘em up! Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse, C & you’re comin’ through with some energy; nice job… My Rating: 3.8

 

 

07. “Ride” feat. Samm & D.I.G.

Producer: XL
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ hook, here, on this laidback, southern beat; keep on ridin’…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & they got a good lil’ verse fa tha hood, here; gotta hit ‘em wit da content! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & dude also sounds good fa tha streetz of tha 504, here; keep on keepin’ on…! Got you on tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ gangsta with your content; props fa lettin’ this shit be known… My Rating: 3.9

 

 

08. “Staring At The Walls”

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Beat start sounds dope from Big Los, here; feelin’ tha dark sounds! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s good, despite tha content bein’ pretty rough; C, I can’t wait till you’re “free”! Hearin’ what you got goin’ on with tha 1^st verse & it sounds good, with your laidback flow. Can’t wait till you have a lil’ more energy to deliver on this album, aside from these laidback flows… Keepin’ this thang movin’ on with tha 2^nd verse, here & you spittin’ good shit fa tha Gz; keep bein’ “against 100,” no matter tha challenge! My Rating: 4.0

 

 

09. “On Da Block” feat. Young Guns

Producer: Bass Heavy & Suga Bear

>>> Beat ain’t too bad, here; seems a lil’ faster ta rap on? Hearin’ tha hook from you & it str8; thought it would be a lil’ aggressive? Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it sounds like an okay/good lil’ verse from you… Hearin’ these Guns on tha 2^nd verse & they sound good on this collab; literally, it’s startin’ ta sound like a TRU-soundin’ Cash Money track. Tha 2^nd dude from tha Young Guns iz on tha 2^nd part of tha 2^nd verse & it’s still a good contribution; just tha right amount of energy needed. My Rating: 4.0

 

 

10. “What You ‘Bout” feat. Mystikal

Producer: Ke’noe

Hope tha energy’s to tha top wit Mystikal, here!! >>> Nice beat fa tha Gz, here; gotta luv tha both of y’all on tha hook, of course! Luv how Mystikal lends you some of his energy to reach tha top of your energy; awesomeness! Hearin’ Mystikal on tha 1^st verse & it’s too aggressive; gotta luv how he comes through on tha mic, sometymes sloppy…! Hearin’ what you got goin’ on with tha 2^nd verse & it’s cool; thought you’d have tha energy Mystikal had on tha verse but it’s still str8. I mean, you got tha consistent rhymes, here; just seems like you’re just keepin’ up with tha pace… My Rating: 4.3

 

 

11. Battlefield

>>> Sounds like a cold, breezy “Battlefield”, based off this skit. Also, pretty gutta with tha gunshots… Tha chick singin’ in tha background makes it seem like tha eerie “Battlefield” that’s needed to make this album seem more eerie… My Rating: N/A

 

 

12. “Where Do We Go” feat. Mac, Silkk The Shocker & Nuance

Producer: Ke’noe

>>> An okay beat but not too interested in that Nuance singer singin’ on tha hook; too depressin’… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it sounds good with your rhymes; it only seems dry with tha flow & depressin’ vibe. Keepin’ this thang movin’ with Mac on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through with a rough perspective with tha jail demons hauntin’ him. I feel his paranoia & I’m glad he spit some dope lyrics, str8 from a real, haunted heart…! Keepin’ this movin’ with Silkk on tha 3^rd verse and, of course, tha flow’s off & more spoken than rappin’, smh; don’t need ta say anything… My Rating: 3.0

 

 

½tyme: I see this as tha weakest C-Murder album from previous efforts; seems like it’s a mix of mainstream, a lil’ bit of sadness & some okay vibes. I think you need more energy in this album, C; only a 3.7 for tha average rating, so far…

 

 

13. “NL Niggaz” feat. Afficial

Producer: Ke’noe

>>> Anotha nice beat from Ke’noe but I expect more darker, street-soundin’ shit from him, rather than this vacation-like shit. Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds good from you, at least; still, seems like these beats make you feel more laidback… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & you spittin’ some okay shit fa tha “No Limit” peeps; gotta rep! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from Afficial & I’m feelin’ his energy, while he delivers tha rhymes; good shit fa tha streetz… Anotha dude on tha 2^nd part of tha 2^nd verse? Sounds good; reminds me of non-Louisiana shit with tha voice & delivery, here. My Rating: 3.6

 

 

14. “Too Much Noise” feat. D.I.G. & Master P

Producer: DJ Ron

>>> Sounds like a good beat & tha hook sounds good from D.I.G., here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from D & it’s cool; block out tha “noise” ta succeed, basically! Keepin’ it goin’ wit Master P on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit an okay verse; he expressin’ his “problems” as “Too Much Noise”, here. Hearin’ you on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit an okay flow & set of rhymes; keep on reppin’… My Rating: 3.7

 

 

15. “Damned If They Murder Me” feat. Mac & Magic

Producer: XL
>>> Beat’s a lil’ calmer but still has a bit of a dark vibe with tha organ. Still, it seems a lil’ more mainstream, based off my feelings for it… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds rough with tha content; too bad tha thought of bein’ murdered iz on your mind… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you & it ain’t bad with how you’re comin’ through wit it… Hearin’ tha 2^nd hook & now, a female singer iz singin’ in tha background; I’ono, you prolly coulda excluded her. She makes this sound more depressin’ & I’m not ‘bout dat depressin’ shit. As I continue, at least there’s Mac on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit his game of tha streetz; props fa reppin’ fa C…! Got Magic on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through calm, too; not really into tha laidback, calm-soundin’ flows. When I think of certain people bein’ on tha track, I expect energy & top-notch feelings; this, no… My Rating: 3.1

 

 

16. “Hustlin’” feat. Master P & Krazy

Producer: Ezell Swang

>>> Damn, anotha secretly-sung hook? Why? Beat cool fa tha south but again, it sounds too laidback for tha C that I’m used to… Hearin’ P on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some good energy ta express tha luv fa “Hustlin’”, here; let it be known! Keepin’ it goin’ with tha right energy added to tha album: Krazy; Krazy comin’ through wit dat Pac-like flow, voice & strong street content, here! Gotta give him props; take notice of tha energy & slight aggression in tha flow, C! Now, here you are on tha 3^rd verse, C, comin’ through, of course, laidback; decent, with some sadness of tha “gunshot,” too… My Rating: 3.3

 

 

17. “That Calliope”
Producer: XL
>>> Finally, deserved energy!! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s a hot chant to represent “That Calliope”! Almost thought it was gonna be a bounce beat but tha energy’s just about tha same! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & you holdin’ it down wit this energy; don’t stop, C!! Keepin’ it movin’ with tha 2^nd verse & it sounds funny/cool ta hear you rap a bounce flow; good shit, C! You know what it iz with this “Calliope” representation! You got tha 3^rd verse on-n-poppin’, too; you don’t need tha lyrics, all tha tyme! You always need tha right energy, applied right! My Rating: 4.3

 

 

18. “Young Thugs” feat. Holloway of The GC, Popeye & Jabo

Producer: XL
>>> Sounds sad; what a way to throw away tha last song’s energy! Hearin’ tha hook & I’m not into tha singin’ in tha background, once again; rappin’ just a regular voice, too… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you & I’m diggin’ tha aggressive perspective in your voice; at least that’s a plus. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & this dude from tha hook aight; can’t seem ta have too much interest but they have good aggression, at tymes. Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 3^rd verse, here & this dude sounds nice & southern with their voice; good rhymes & a good way to rap on this sad beat. My Rating: 2.9

 

 

19. Otis Commercial
>>> A random call, dedicated ta puttin’ “Otis” in tha bitch, “biiiiitch,” lol? My Rating: N/A

 

 

20. Interlude

>>> Of course, this album couldn’t go an interlude without singin’! It’s catchy with tha “look in my eyes” shit but just sounds too depressin’, beat-wise. I mean, it sounds like tha singer, from your perspective, wants to really fuck. However, it just doesn’t seem glorious when tha production sounds sad… My Rating: N/A

 

 

21. “They Want My Money” feat. Mac & Mia X
Producer: XL
>>> Beat sounds like a nice, southern, bounce-soundin’ beat (without tha “Triggaman” sounds); not bad & tha singin’ on tha hook ain’t too bad, neither… Um, Mac, that’s you singin’? Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it sounds like an okay/good verse from you; you focused fa dick-slangin’, basically… Keepin’ this thang movin’ wit Mia on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through with some good energy; not bad fa a contribution, overall… My Rating: 3.5

 

 

22. “Thug In Yo Life” feat. Krazy & Suga Bear

Producer: Suga Bear

>>> An okay beat with some catchy sounds, at tymes… Ahh! R&B singin’ on tha hook, here; too soft fa me ta enjoy! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & yeah, not really inta this soft-soundin’ C, C… At least there’s some life with Krazy on tha 2^nd verse, here; at least his voice = any type of aggression! My Rating: 2.7

 

 

23. “Down For My Ns” feat. Snoop Dogg & Magic

Producer: Carlos Stephens & XL
Can’t believe I’m finally reviewin’ this one… I remember in 2000, when Hot 97 would always have this as an instrumental to talk on, all tha tyme…! Anyway, luv how this, one of tha hardest tracks of 2000, comes after a bunch of soft-soundin’ tracks! As far as tha review, tha hook & beat goes too hard with tha way it hypes up anybody! With you on tha 1^st verse, you got tha focus & energy, here, thanx ta Big Los & XL helpin’ you out with tha energetic production! Hearin’ Magic on tha 2^nd verse & he got tha energy on lock; too-too top-notch!! Keepin’ it movin’ wit Snoop on tha 3^rd verse, here, feelin’ tha energy, too; glad y’all created such an anthem, here! Goes good with a DMX catalog! My Current Rating: 4.8

 

 

24. “Street Thug” feat. New-9 & Magic

Producer: XL
>>> Beat sounds aight, here; a lil’ dry but tha hi-hats seem to be takin’ over more… Quiet-soundin’ 1^st verse with how you comin’ through on tha 1^st verse? Decent, basically… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from New-9 of tha Prime Suspects & it’s soundin’ like a betta verse; feelin’ his gangsta-soundin’ shit, here… Keepin’ it movin’ wit Magic on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit aggression & energy ta represent tha streetz, here; gotta fucks wit it! My Rating: 4.1

 

 

Overall: I seemed more disappointed in this album; expected more energy & less slower/singin’ vibes…

Link To Release: N/A

 

 

01. Intro

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Sounds interestin’ wit P’s son, here; he thinks “Krazy” = “Pac”. Also, I like his “ya heard me?” at tha end. My Rating: N/A

 

 

02. “Roll, Roll”
Producer: Ezell Swang

>>> Sounds like a grimy intro from P, here; good shit… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s pretty poppin’ wit Ezell Swang doin’ tha production, here…! Lol, P sounds like such a grimy teddy bear with tha “roll, roll” shit; what a hook! Here comes tha 2^nd verse wit Krazy = his Pac side, here; good, consistent shit…! Got tha 3^rd verse from Mystikal, wildin’ out, non-stop; unstoppable on tha mic! Also, got Silkk comin’ through wit some semi-off flows ta end tha 3^rd verse off; random/okay, at best. Lol @ tha train doin’ its thang on tha end, too…! My Rating: 4.2

 

 

03. “Big Toys” feat. D.I.G.

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Nice hook wit Krazy & his “toys,” here; gutta wit Los on tha beat…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it cool; just consistent rhymes, basically. Mac got tha Boyz on lock, all tha tyme! Pretty gutta wit Krazy on tha 2^nd verse, strictly lettin’ it know what it iz, no matter what! Tha grind don’t stiggy-stiggy-stop! Recruitin’ D.I.G. fa tha feature of tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit some soulja-type shit; good goin’, y’all! My Rating: 4.1

 

 

04. “Whodi” feat. Mr. Marcelo

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Diggin’ tha hook & gutta beat fa tha whodies; good shit, P! Got P on tha 1^st verse, too, comin’ through wit how he viewed tha streetz in 2000; nice job. Tha 2^nd verse keeps this shit goin’ with good shit; good job, as we continue…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd part of tha 2^nd verse & it’s Mystikal, flippin’ out on tha mic! Luv how fast & aggressive he iz to where tha betta, tha faster I type! Tha 3^rd verse ain’t bad, as this shit continues; can’t deny everythang bein’ brought to tha table. Silkk just luvs his random contributions, courtesy of his flow… Hearin’ tha 4^th verse & C-Murder starts it off, continuously bein’ “blunted”; good shit, no matta when! An outro from Wild Wayne, as well; good energy, overall! My Rating: 4.1

 

 

05. “Wobble Wobble”

Producer: Carlos Stephens

Their only Top 40 hit & it has hit my review radar! Sounds good, of course; sounds like an older version or somethin’? Thought it seemed more hype on tha hook? Either way, glad this track had its tyme… Tha 1^st verse was good ta hear, once again & P on tha 2^nd verse makes this flow nicely fa err-body in every field. As far as tha rest of y’all, definitely nice; luv how Mystikal’s so aggressive, yet, this track was so mainstream! My Current Rating: 4.3

 

 

06. “Check ‘Em” feat. Traci a.k.a. Baby Girl

Producer: XL
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ beat with tha bounce sounds & special-soundin’ sound, too. P sounds catchy on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some good shit ta enjoy. Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds good with this Traci chick on tha hook wit P; gotta “Check ‘Em”! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from Traci & she sounds good on tha track, here; worked out nicely for a female feature… Also, nice chantin’ toward tha end, too; thumbs up. My Rating: 4.2

 

 

07. “Uptown” feat. Suga Bear

Producer: Carlos Stephens, Penitentiary & Suga Bear

>>> A singin’ hook/beginning from Suga Bear, here…; not too sure if I can feel it. Tha beat ain’t too bad but three producers needed for a good/decent beat? Anyway, hearin’ tha 1^st verse from P & it’s facts for tha streetz, here; good job. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s soundin’ good, as facts are continuin’ to be spit fa tha 504 Boyz. Tha 3^rd verse sounds good ta hear, too, as it’s nice & laidback on this upbeat beat; nice, y’all. My Rating: 3.7

 

 

08. “I Can Tell” feat. Mercedes & Jabo

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Sounds like it gon be a cheesy track; ugh, this hook! I recognize this hook & how it’s been used multiple tymes; yuck @ tha singin’! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it aight… As far as tha rest of this, it’s pretty much a turn-off fa me; not diggin’ tha rest. My Rating: 2.1

 

 

09. Commercial I
>>> Sounds good; No Limit souljaz in tha buildin’…! My Rating: N/A

 

 

10. “If You Real, Keep It Real”
Producer: Carlos Stephens & Myke Diesel

>>> Anotha track wit female singin’ on tha hook; this tyme, it’s background vocals. Hearin’ tha hook from P & it’s just preachin’ about “real” & “fake”; all right, I guess? Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from P & it sounds soft fa these fakerz… “You ain’t no soulja, boi; go take dat tatt off yo stomach”; deep. More anti-fake shit fa tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ like an okay set of preachin’, for tha flow. Hearin’ what’s after tha 2^nd verse & it sounds like an outro, already? Like, why such a loooooooong outro?? Like, 2:49 for an outro?? My Rating: 2.4

 

 

11. “Beefing”

Producer: Penitentiary & Suga Bear

>>> Sounds like a sunset-type of settin’ for tha beat style, here, mixed with some gangsta vibes; good, laidbackness… Hearin’ tha hook & it ain’t bad; sounds a lil’ too soft fa a “Beefing” title? Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it aight; like I said, too laidback for a “Beefing” title… Damn, anotha long outro? Maybe not; at least a 2^nd verse iz here & it ain’t bad; just a decent contribution, once again… My Rating: 3.5

 

 

½tyme: Tha 1^st ¼ started off pretty dope & then, tha 2^nd ¼ sounded like it was goin’ downhill with tha R&B, laidback & long parts… Either way, for tha ½tyme rating, we have a 3.6 for tha rating; we can do betta…!

 

 

12. “We Bust” feat. Ghetto Commission

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Sounds nice & aggressive, as we’ve moved away from tha laidback vibes…! Great job with tha 1^st verse & what’s bein’ contributed, here; all about tha street “war”! Tha hook sounds nice ta hear; gotta “bust” dat street content out…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it decent; nothin’ much ta say, here… My Rating: 3.6

 

 

13. “Thug Girl II”
Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> I like how tha chicks are chantin’, “Ova here, whodie!,” to P on tha intro, here; good shit, hook & beat! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & P wildin’ out, here; good vibes, as this shit continues…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & shit sounds a lil’ off with tha flow; I guess it just inserts itself into tha track, right? Good-ole Krazy comes through on tha 3^rd verse with his gutta-soundin’ contributions; can’t deny him… My Rating: 4.2

 

 

14. “Life Is Serious” feat. Erica Fox

Producer: Ezell Swang

>>> Not too sure if I’ll feel anotha hook with a female singer; we’ll see, as this laidback one plays on by… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from Krazy & it ain’t bad, here; storytellin’ ain’t bad for this verse… Got P on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some decent shit; at least he’s got a betta voice, no matter tha flow. Got a 3^rd verse, here & it ain’t bad; I feel like, if it’s not C, P, Magic, Mystikal or Krazy, it’s more on tha decent/below-average level. As far as this 3^rd verse, it just went on by fa me, basically. My Rating: 2.8

 

 

15. “Them Boyz” feat. X-Con

Producer: Ke’noe

>>> Nice lil’ anthemic beat from Ke’noe, here; good shit! P on tha hook, here, comin’ through wit some warnings to “watch dem boyz!” Gotta dig it! Hearin’ P on tha 1^st verse, as well, comin’ through wit da bidness; you know what it iz… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some decent rhymes; I feel like they flow right into tha track, here. With tha 3^rd verse, it sounds nice; nice & deep voice ta add to tha vibe, here. My Rating: 3.8

 

 

16. “Moving Things” feat. Samm & Erica Fox

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Lol @ P “workin’ graveyard,” on tha intro; I feel like he works past tha “graveyard,” since he has done so much… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty laidback/soft, here, especially wit these ladies vocalizin’ on tha hook; not sure how much I feel it. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it ain’t bad from P, here; I feel like it gon drag, tho… Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here & it’s a lil’ boring; too slow of a track to keep my attention… Damn, not a 90-second outro…! This “muthafuckin’ ATM” bullshit; ugh! Also, that callin’ off/no-showin’ bullshit P bein’ accused of, at tha end; rough, especially in a song… My Rating: 2.3

 

 

17. Commercial II
>>> That moment when tha commercial has a more-upbeat beat than some of tha tracks on here, smh… Nice lil’ commercial; glad P always put that No Limit out there as often as possible! Also, lol @ tha endin’ with tha “in ya No Limit gear” as a hook/chant; only P! My Rating: N/A

 

 

18. “D-Game” feat. Terrar a.k.a. Pusha T & Pharrell

Producer: The Neptunes

Full-On Neptunes, here… >>> Diggin’ how Pharrell sounds on tha hook, here; definitely those old dayz of The Neptunes, here. Also, Pusha T/Terrar on tha 1^st verse, here, b4 I knew Clipse… He sounds like he blends in nicely, here; that true Clipse/Neptunes sound, like it was 2002, again! Only now, it’s 2-Triple-0! Supa-catchy fa a non-Louisiana collab! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & I’m feelin’ tha upbeat aggression; tha Boyz on top! My Rating: 4.4

 

 

19. “Enemies” feat. X-Con

Producer: Ezell Swang

>>> When I hear tha 504 peeps say, “Enemies,” it seems like I’m ready fa dat Pac voice or somethin’. With this one, it sounds nice with tha hook, beat & what’s goin’ on; just anotha millennial vibe, basically. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s bouncin’ its way through, soundin’ nice; nice job, 504 Boyz…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds like tha bouncin’ vibe continues! When I say, “Bouncin’,” I don’t necessarily mean bounce music; I just talk about how tha beat can make you bob… My Rating: 4.0

 

 

20. “Souljas” feat. Snoop Dogg & RBX

Producer: Carlos Stephens & Fred Rec

>>> A focused beginning, here…; hearin’ tha Irish pipes in tha beat & I’m thinkin’, “More like a skit?” Hearin’ Snoop on tha 1^st verse & it ain’t bad fa his contribution, here; a lil’ laidback on tha flow but it’s still str8. Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty grimy with tha voice applied by Krazy; souljatastic! Got P on tha 2^nd verse, here…; glad he know what it be with that hood shit…! Keepin’ it movin’ wit Krazy on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit dat heat; nice job, as alwayz…! My Rating: 3.9

 

 

21. “No Limit”

Producer: Suga Bear

>>> Kinda sounds cheesy with tha male singin’ on tha hook, here…; still, I’m glad it’s a “No Limit” representation of a “soulja.” Hearin’ Magic on tha 1^st verse & he sounds good; thought he’d be more aggressive, tho. Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, as Magic continues to deliver decent/good shit; not bad, as he continues to bring it… My Rating: 3.4

 

 

22. “Say Brah”
Producer: XL
>>> Tha “Free Soulja Slim” tymes; crazy that those tymes were a tyme, back then! Hearin’ tha beat & it sounds like it’s ready ta deliver an anthem? Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; I like “brah” spelled “B-R-U-H” betta than “B-R-A-H”, since “brah” looks like a bra. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it ain’t bad; I thought tha hook was a lil’ catchier but it still str8… Oh boy, P had ta contribute, as always…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from him & it str8; he can’t be touched, when it comes to everythang bein’ put out durin’ these tymes…! My Rating: 4.2

 

 

Overall: Looks like this turned out ta be just a decent release; didn’t really get too-too excitin’ but was definitely nice fa tha anthems that were on here. I’m sure their follow-up in 2002’s betta than this but I’ll see, wheneva I get to that point.

Review #1,912: TRU "Da Crime Family"

Reviewed on 12.27.2019 (Review #1,912)

Oh boy! Back to tha double discs! Here comes this next review fa TRU Da Crime Family, released in 1999 on No Limit Records & Priority Records!

Disc 1: Start Time: 9:22 PM | End Time: 10:17 PM

Disc 2: Start Time: 10:21 PM | End Time: 11:02 PM

Overall: Start Time: 9:22 PM | End Time: 11:02 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. “Bounce”
Producer: Ke’noe

>>> At least there’s energy, this time!! Got tha hook wit C & it sounds dope; definitely nice! Oh boy, Silkk on tha 1^st verse… At least he comin’ through wit some catchy shit fa tha clubz, here… I think he should stick ta club bangaz, since his flow’s all ova tha place on otha tracks? Likin’ how P continues wit tha “Hoody Hooo” track’s hook, on tha start to tha 2^nd verse, here; nice shit… “Kickin’ ladies like karate,” huh, P? Deep, lol! My Rating: 4.4

02. “You’ll Never Change” feat. D.I.G. & Mac

Producer: Suga Bear

>>> Female singin’ on tha hook; it’s okay but I feel like we’re goin’ back to tha sad-soundin’ tracks… Remakin’ “The Boy Is Mine”, this time; what’s next? Hearin’ D.I.G. on tha 1^st verse & I’m feelin’ what he spittin’, here; let’s see how tha rest gon go… Got Mac on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit a nice contribution, as well… An okay verse from P, here, on tha 3^rd verse; nice lineup, tho not tha best song fa me… My Rating: 3.3

Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice ta contribute ta this, as well, C; good shit… Magic on tha 3^rd verse, here, stayin’ “strong” & consistent wit tha contributions; nice! My Rating: 4.3

04. “I Don’t Want You No More” feat. Mr. Serv-On

Producer: Mark After Dark

>>> Oh boy, tha spoken-word rappin’ ta join Silkk; here’s Serv-On! It’s an iffy-soundin’ 1^st verse; can’t really dig tha flow or dry beat… Tha hook sounds like anotha remake or somethin’; ehh, no comment… Got C on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some okay shit; nothin’ crazy, tho… Oh boy, spoken-word verse, Part 2, wit Silkk! Damn, double trouble!! My Rating: 2.5

05. “Soldier ‘Til I Die” feat. D.I.G. & Magic

Producer: Suga Bear

>>> Some betta-soundin’ music, here; nice hook wit D.I.G., here! Hearin’ him on tha 1^st verse & it sounds dope; consistent quality, here! “Shmoke like herb, ya dig?” Luvin’ all tha “ya dig?” shit! Even got C hoppin’ onto tha 2^nd part of tha 2^nd verse, just repeatin’, “I’m a soldier till tha day that I die;” dope! A 3^rd part from Magic, here, soundin’ aggressive & dope; good shit! Outro from P, here, soundin’ like it would be an outro to a CD, rather than this part of tha CD… My Rating: 4.3

06. “Buss That” feat. Mia X

Producer: KLC
>>> Hyped-up, here, on tha intro & beat! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from Mia & it’s nice, here; gotta dig her…! Now, when I think of her, I can’t believe just today, I discovered a “masturbation poet,” based off a review I did fa her, three years ago! Shit’s nice! Tha hook’s pretty intense, here; luvin’ tha gunshots & chants! Energy at its finest! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s pretty nice, here; good shit! Even if it sounds a lil’ spoken fa Silkk, I hear tha aggression; definitely nice! My Rating: 4.4

07. “Don’t Fuck With TRU”
Producer: KLC
>>> C on tha hook, here, soundin’ nice wit this beat… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from C & it sounds nice; good job, as always! Keepin’ it movin’ wit Silkk, here; diggin’ tha rapid-fire flow fa tha 2^nd verse, here… P on tha 3^rd verse, here, as he calls himself a “lottery;” nice! Feelin’ his energy & dat “Hoody Hooo”ness!

09. “R.I.P. Kevin” feat. O’Dell & Porsha

Producer: O’Dell

>>> This ain’t gonna be fa me; sad hook from tha features, here, as well as tha beat… Afta over a minute, here comes P on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit his real-life rhymes; no interest fa me… Got Silkk on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through as…, well…, kinda just speakin’… Got C on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit a decent lil’ verse. Like I say, I don’t like tha sad songs; deal with enough, day & day… My Rating: 2.1

10. “Bounce To This” feat. Big Ed

Producer: O’Dell

>>> Sounds like an upbeat hook; feelin’ tha vibe, here… Silkk doin’ a nice job on tha hook & transitionin’ to tha 1^st verse, doin’ a great job! Feelin’ his fast flow, this time! Got Big Ed on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through like a No Limit soulja, of course… My Rating: 3.9

>>> I like how Snoop seems excited ta be wit “No Limit Records,” as he says, in tha intro… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from Snoop & it’s nice. Yeah, this more on tha west side, as far as tha vibe goes; not depressin’, at least! Sounds like an okay hook; all about tha beauty, I guess? I like how C’s comin’ through on tha 2^nd verse, nice & “high,” here; good shit! My Rating: 3.8

12. “The World Is Yours”

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Beat sounds pretty grimy, here; nice shit… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s nice from Silkk, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & Silkk got this spoken vibe on lock, this time…; sounds betta wit a tight beat, at times… Mo shit from Silkk on tha 2^nd verse, here… Felt it betta on tha 1^st verse but this still nice… I luv how a 3^rd verse iz tryna squeeze on tha fade-out, seven seconds left on tha track…! My Rating: 4.0

14. “Prayer For A G”
Producer: Beats By The Pound
>>> Beat ain’t so sad but tha 1^st verse from Silkk kinda has it, in tha content… Not feelin’ this flow; everything seems so random… Fuck this; not interested… Finally, at 2:26, a lil’ bit of a singin’, on a hook? Too late… My Rating: 1.3

15. “TRU Homies (Radio Version)”
