Review #1,911: Tre-8 "Armageddon: The Last Day For Rappers"

Reviewed on 12.27.2019 (Review #1,911)

As I proceed wit my day off, here goes my next review: Tre-8 Armageddon: The Last Day For Rappers, released in 1999 on Smoke 1 Records! Love Tre-8!! Start Time: 7:45 PM | End Time: 8:56 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!

Review #1,820: Tre-8 "Nuttin' But Drama"

Reviewed on 10.13.2019 (Review #1,820)

Now that I’m pretty-much settled, I think it’s time I revive my ever-revivin’ Louisiana Reviewz Marathon that I started, back on May 1, 2009. I haven’t done a throwback review since August 11, 2017, due to Austin On Tha Track passin’ away. It threw off my flow for reviewin’ tha old CDs and now, I finally am back at this… I’m a lot stronger wit my mind & don’t think anythang’ll stop my goals, from now on! Where I left off was toward tha end of ’98 wit tha late Tre-8 Nuttin’ But Drama, released in 1998 on South Coast Music Group & Smoke 1 Records; let’s get it! Start Time: 11:54 AM | End Time: 1:07 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.
