Gonna keep reviewin’; I may have a full-tyme comin’ up? Gotta stay prepared fa June 10’s celebration!

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!

06. “Get It On” feat. Fiend
>>> Nice collab wit Fiend, here; he holdin’ you down wit his aggressive-ass! You sound good wit how you come through on this, strictly forcin’ tha Forces on ‘em! My Rating: 4.2

 

 

07. Skit

>>> Sounds like you’re ready to hit tha bed wit this chick… She wanna be “smacked tha shit outta,” courtesy of “that dick!” My Rating: N/A

 

 

08. “Fuckfest” feat. Mo B. Dick

>>> Sounds dope with this “Fuckfest”; great hook & a lot betta expectations from you than how I put it, from tha skit! Hearin’ what you got fa tha track & it sounds cool; may be a lil’ long but it’s a nice collab. I like how Mo B. just lays down some harmonies… My Rating: 4.3

 

 

09. “Watching U”

10. “Forgetaboutit”

11. “Head Busta”
>>> Sounds like an anthemic beat intro, here…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s catchy; luv tha hype! Luv tha energy you bring on tha verses, too; can’t be denied, here! Good length, great energy; you’re set! My Rating: 4.4

 

 

½tyme: A 3.9-rated release, so far; most of this iz pretty nice, includin’ some bangerz…

 

 

12. “No Nigga”
>>> Sounds like an okay track; beat soundin’ good, includin’ tha organ that I’m hearin’. Hearin’ what you bringin’ on tha mic & it’s str8; great job wit what you deliverin’ for tha streetz…! My Rating: 4.0

 

 

13. “Get ‘Em”
>>> Anotha hype anthem; good shit! Glad you got tha energy to keep this consistently goin’! Great hook & great job with how you come through on tha mic! My Rating: 4.2

 

 

14. “Don’t Play With Me” feat. C-Murder, Kane & Abel
>>> Glad there’s more excitement with tha tracks, now; good beat & props fa C comin’ through on tha 1^st verse! He knows what it iz with tha streetz; always representin’ hard! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty dope; luvin’ tha “bruh” parts…! Got tha Kane & Abel boyz on tha 2^nd verse, too, doin’ tha damn thang on this beat; great contribution…! Also, nice job comin’ through on tha 3^rd verse, Ed; glad you held it down with these boyz, durin’ your lifetyme! My Rating: 4.4

 

 

15. “Me & U”
>>> Sounds like an okay track & beat, here; decent with how you comin’ through wit it fa tha ladies, here… Sounds like tha hook samples some other track with its melody…? Not really into this kinda slower shit, with tha female singin’; just gotta keep it real. However, S/O ta you: “September 24^th,” in “1997,” you “gave birth ta [your] son,” on Skull Duggrey’s birthday; huh bruh! My Rating: 2.7

 

 

16. “Study Ya Lessons”
>>> Sounds like an okay track; tha hook has a street side to it, as you’re requirin’ tha listener to “study” to tha fullest! Overall, tha verses seem str8; you holdin’ it down, regardless. My Rating: 3.6

 

 

17. “Who Am I”
>>> Seems like an okay beat & what you’re bringin’ to tha mic, here; not bad… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like a voice iz echoin’ at your reflection? I like how you’re counterin’ their reflections, when it comes to arguments… My Rating: 3.6

 

 

18. “Work It Out” feat. Mr. Serv-On
>>> Diggin’ this beat; diggin’ tha energy bein’ brought to tha hook, here…! Sounds like there’s a lotta beat interlude parts? Like, from 2:03 – 2:32 & 3:12 – 4:01; like, did you really luv tha beat or somethin’?? My Rating: 4.0

 

 

19. “I Got Yo Back” feat. Skull Duggrey

>>> Definitely feelin’ tha energy y’all bringin’ to tha table, here; gotta luv Duggrey!! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s pretty dope; energy’s to tha max fa this street shit! This that quality; props fa tha aggression! Gotta always have it ta express tha most! Gotta luv how Duggrey comes through on tha 2^nd verse, strictly depictin’ tha eye of tha streetz! Huh bruh; keep on reppin’ fa tha N.O. & loyal cats, Big Dugg! Just luv his focus on tha subject & how he keeps tha “hoodlum shit” on-n-poppin’! My Rating: 4.5

 

 

20. “Thank U”
>>> Sounds like a catchy, eerie & joyful beat start? Great lil’ track to tha mama, even tho I don’t go crazy over these types of jointz. Sometymes, it seems like tha sound of it wants to lean toward bein’ depressin’; I’ono… Maybe, that’s tha reaction I get when I hear a male R&B singer singin’ tha hook? My Rating: 3.2

 

 

21. “Don’t Give Up”
>>> This one seems like it’s more of a sad vibe than tha previous track on here… Yeah, this just has a laidback but sad vibe, with how tha female singer sings on tha hook. She remakes this “wishin’ on a star” perspective for your hook; not tha worst but I like how she blends tha “star” with tha “ghetto,” here. As far as you, you try & keep tha positive mindset but I’ono, I can’t get happy with this one… My Rating: 2.4

 

 

22. “Special Forces Ops”
>>> Sounds like anotha anthem for tha streetz; glad you got plenty of ‘em, throughout your releases! Nice job with tha beat, here & how you apply your energy to tha track! “Special Forces” definitely in tha buildin’ with your energy, here! My Rating: 4.5

 

 

23. “Armageddon”
>>> Sounds pretty dope; tha dark beat helps make you worth more! Hearin’ what you got on tha rhymes & they’re pretty aggressive & real; props fa layin’ it down! Seems like lots of rhymes, despite bein’ a short track? Oh, tha “LEGOs!” My Rating: 3.9

 

 

Overall: Great energy you provided on most of tha tracks, here; thumbs up! Too bad you had to leave this Earth but I’m glad you provided anthems fa those to love, in tha streetz. Also, I’m real glad you hooked up wit my soulja, Skull Dugg, fa a track on here; he always tops my rankings on tha reviewz! He’s tha realest out tha N.O.!

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?

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

Producer: Ke’noe

>>> Thought I heard this before but on P’s CD, he had it in his hook… Still, nice job from C on tha hook, not ta be confused…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good; feelin’ C at all times! 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!

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

13. “We Riders”

Producer: O’Dell

>>> Sounds like a nice hook from C, as well as this nice beat…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good; G-shit at its finest! Mo shit from C on tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ dope wit tha aggression & shit; gotta luv him! My Rating: 4.3

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

Review #1,902: Silkk The Shocker "Made Man"

Reviewed on 12.25.2019 (Review #1,902)

Here comes anotha review: Silkk The Shocker Made Man, released in 1999 on No Limit Records & Priority Records…! Start Time: 5:20 PM | End Time: 6:50 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!

Link To CD: N/A

01. “The Day I Was Made”

Producer: O’Dell

>>> Sounds like an okay intro, here… Sounds like spoken-word rappin’, here? Bad flow; barely wanted to pay attention…! My Rating: 2.1

02. “Somebody Like Me” feat. Mýa

Producer: Whole Records

>>> Interestin’ collab; I always thought Mýa was a hottie…! Great job wit her on tha hook; she definitely provides tha singin’ nicely! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s okay wit your rhymes; sounds like you wanna speak more than rap, tho? Likin’ Mýa’s background vocals, every now & then…! Tha 2^nd verse not bad but I can’t believe I like tha singin’ tha most outta tha track, here! That’s a rare feat! Mýa sounds like INOJ “Love You Down” when she sings, “You really are too ghetto fa me;” sounds good… Once again, Silkk, if you coulda had a betta flow, I woulda liked this betta… I’ll give it tha benefit of tha doubt & give it a flat 4.0, at least… My Rating: 4.0

03. “It Ain’t My Fault 2” feat. Mystikal

Producer: Craig B

My Current Rating: 4.5

04. “Ghetto Rain” feat. Master P & O’Dell

Producer: Craig B

>>> Tha beat a lil’ soft fa me, here… Hearin’ tha hook from O’Dell & it cool fa singin’; not too bad… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from P & it’s pretty straight-forward; nice aggression… Here you are on tha 2^nd verse & I’m not feelin’ this spoken-word rappin’! It’s like you got tha Mr. Serv-On curse, smh! I do feel tha “you see me smilin’? I’m just camouflagin’ my problems” line, as that’s what I’m goin’ through, right nah. People don’t know what I’m goin’ through, so they only see tha positives, fa now… My Rating: 2.4

05. “This Is 4 My”

Producer: KLC

>>> Beat sounds good; rhymes on tha 1^st verse good & tha flow’s just a touch betta… Tha hook str8; I fucks wit it, even tho I’m not too crazy wit how this sounds, overall… Tha 2^nd verse okay; I gotta get mo used ta you, I guess? My Rating: 3.4

06. Commercial One

>>> Ouch @ tha “real name;” nice lil’ commercial… My Rating: N/A

07. “You Know What We ‘Bout” feat. Jay-Z & Master P

Producer: Craig B

>>> Sounds like an anthemic beat & hook, here; let’s see how tha verses go… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it ehh/okay; I guess it flows, right? Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on from Jigga, here… I may not like him but he sound good wit this contribution, here; nice job, Jigga… Got tha 3^rd verse from P, here, soundin’ nice; good shit, I guess? He “run this like drug money,” accordin’ ta tha success of No Limit… “Pass tha weed ‘cause souljaz like to…;” you know what it iz! I’m a tru soulja, most definitely! My Rating: 3.8

08. “I Want To Be With You” feat. O’Dell

Producer: KLC & O’Dell

>>> Sounds like a good lil’ call; a lil’ bit of fuck action finna pop off? Sounds like she sick of you & tha “studio,” here; she wanna “shop,” instead? I’ono but let’s see how y’all do wit this track… Hearin’ tha beat & it sounds good; almost sounds like it goes wit Christmas, despite today bein’ Christmas? Tha hook sounds catchy wit O’Dell, this time; good shit… Got tha 1^st verse from you & it decent; I’ll just say dat. Tha 2^nd verse from you sounds okay, as well; I guess it’s just tha way you rap wit this flow? Tha rest consists of hooks & O’Dell singin’; not bad, tho kinda below-average fa me… My Rating: 3.1

09. “All Because Of You” feat. Mia X

Producer: KLC
>>> Sounds like an okay hook & beat, here; not much ta say… Mia on tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through wit some okay/good rhymes… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from you & it’s ehh… Also, tha beat sounds annoying with tha mixin’ & beatboxin’; doesn’t mix well? My Rating: 2.6

10. “No Limit” feat. Fiend & Mystikal

Producer: KLC
>>> “N-O-L-I-M-I-T” fa tha hook, here; anthemic & nice, this time…! Fiend + You = $ucce$$, or should I say, “N-O-L-I-M-I-T!” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you & it str8; sounds good wit tha aggression… Diggin’ Mystikal’s short appearance but why so minimal? My Rating: 4.2

½time: Not really goin’ as great as I thought this would go… Your flow doesn’t impress me, most of tha time; gotta work on it! Your features do help you out, at times, especially Mystikal; a 3.3-rated CD, so far…

11. “End Of The Road” feat. Sons Of Funk

Producer: Sons Of Funk

>>> Sounds slow & spoken-wordish on tha 1^st verse, here…; I’ono… Hearin’ tha hook wit tha SoF singin’ & it’s not that great fa me; no sad songs…! Keepin’ tha 2^nd verse goin’ on wit tha sadness; sucks, especially when you wish “it was [you],” in tha “casket.” Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & I don’t really have any comments ta continue wit this one… My Rating: 1.9

12. “We Won’t Stop” feat. Master P & C-Murder

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Beat sounds okay, here… Hearin’ tha hook from P & it sounds good wit P reppin’ fa his “tank’s in tha wall” & tha movement… Keepin’ it movin’ wit P on tha 1^st verse & it sounds good… Got tha 2^nd verse from C, here, soundin’ good; felt short but I’m glad he contributed… Hearin’ you on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit some betta-soundin’ shit; good aggression, too… My Rating: 4.1

13. “Mr. ‘99”

Producer: KLC
>>> You’re tha “Mr.” throughout tha 1^st verse, here; nice, includin’ tha okay-soundin’ beat, too… Tha hook blends in nicely wit tha track, thanx ta all these “mista” parts; good job… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it str8; nothin’ else ta really say… My Rating: 3.7

14. “It Takes More” feat. Ghetto Commission

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Sounds good wit tha hook & beat, here; nothin’ but Louisiana music I’m drownin’ in, these dayz! Gotta luv it, as I’m progressin’ wit my work ethic…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good wit tha GC; good shit…! Mo GC shit on tha 2^nd verse, here, keepin’ this N.L.-for-tha-N.O. shit comin’! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & I’m feelin’ tha aggression. Glad this has nothin’ slackin’ wit it; true No Limit shit, here! My Rating: 4.3

15. “If It Don’t Make $”
Producer: DJ Whop
>>> Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it str8; beat decent ta rap on, too, wit some nice bass… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s your typical “if it don’t make $, then it don’t make sense” shit; not bad… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it str8, as well; a decent lil’ track, here… My Rating: 3.5

16. “It’s Going Around Outside” feat. Rico of Sons Of Funk

Producer: Rico

>>> Sounds dry & sappy, here; not feelin’ tha singin’ vibe on tha 1^st verse… Then, your spoken-word rhymes come, here; does it even fit right fa a rap song?? Can’t feel it; sounds more like it shoulda been an outro… My Rating: 1.2

17. “Put It On Something” feat. Mia X

Producer: Craig B
>>> Beat str8; hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & this flow ain’t fa me, speakin’ & shit… Hearin’ tha hook & it aight; fuck tha liarz & just do you! Hearin’ Mia on tha 2^nd verse & it str8 fa this below-average track… Got you on tha 3^rd verse, here, keepin’ that spoken shit goin’… My Rating: 2.0

18. Commercial Two

>>> Sounds okay wit this chick speakin’… I like how you flip “It Ain’t My Fault” into “it ain’t my type,” here; nice…! My Rating: N/A

19. “Southside Niggas” feat. Master P & C-Murder

Producer: Mo B. Dick

>>> Beat nice & hype, here; feelin’ what’s goin’ on… C on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some nice shit fa tha No Limit fam… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds nice; all about tha “southside” representation…! Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse & this sounds betta fa tha spoken-word shit; not bad… Mo shit from you, here, on tha 3^rd verse? Did I miss P? I’ono but I guess he blended in here, somewhere… My Rating: 3.9

20. “Get It Up” feat. Snoop Dogg

Producer: Beats By The Pound

>>> Sounds good fa this west vs. south beat, here… Snoop on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some nice flava fa you, here; good shit… Hearin’ Snoop on tha hook & yeah, dis dat No Limit party, here; nice…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds good wit you, here; not bad wit tha flow, as well…! Got you on tha 3^rd verse, wit some Snoop parts & it sounds nice; nice lil’ endin’ track, overall… My Rating: 4.2

Overall: Fell below tha average mark, as far as my ratings go… Didn’t really like your flow, as it was more on tha spoken-word/Mr. Serv-On tip, here… Some of your features were able ta help you out but fa tha most part, a bunch of shit didn’t fit on here…
