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!

DJ B-Real
Let’s
git it! >>> Definitely pretty dope-n-dark production vibes comin’ out
dem B-Real keyz; 💯% pure!! Definitely a plus wit Bone comin’ through
on this, wit 💯% confidence…!! Luv how B-Real’s keys, on tha hook, sounded
like they sunk, on one of tha proceedin’ barz! Definitely catchy—I’m pretty
high, as I start dis off; definitely
official!! Lol @ Bone’s line about tha “studio […] features […], sayin’, ‘Lawd
Jesus’!” I’m glad I’ve always appreciated bein’ in tha presence of you &
tha Bonefide’s company; glad you & B tha A-Team!! My Rating: 4.9

“Should’ve Been Blowed Up” feat. DJ B-Real
Producer:
DJ B-Real
Looks
like it gon be dope…, of course! >>> Sounds like a good, dark,
classic-soundin’ street vibe; definitely nice! Really feelin’ how B comin’
through on tha hook; definitely official!! Lol, totally in-sync wit tha title part!! Like, frfr, he definitely got it & feel like he will blow “up” wit it!! Definitely dope
hearin’ him spittin’ rhymes on tha 1st verse, tho; definitely
official!! Felt every piece of it, from tha heart; that’s how B brings it!! Of
course, you already know wit my opportunities comin’ up, I want B-Real ta “blow
up” wit dis shit wit me, ya heard me?! Definitely, definitely…! Got you on tha
2nd verse, Bone, comin’ through wit a successful past, present &
future—that’s tha present, lol (feelin’ “successful”)…!! My Rating: 4.9
03.
“I Be Cuttin’ Up”
Neva reviewed an album from iTunes that has
multiple years displayed on tha tracks. This track iz from 2017, so let’s see
how you was “cuttin’ up,” durin’ that tyme…! >>> Definitely feelin’
how you have that 💯% Jigga
City vibe in ya, here, as
well as tha dope-ass production!! You definitely
stay in-sync wit dis shit, to tha fullest…! Definitely awesome ta hear you on tha 1st verse, ya feel me?! From
tha “golds” to tha “hoes” to everythang
that make you cut “up,” you got dis!! Tha 2nd verse dope
as fuck, as well; glad you keep it as trill as can be; you already know what da
bidness iz…! Sounds like it was meant ta be perfect, based off of how it’s a
few years old & here, fa tha 2K20? Definitely!!
My Rating: 5.0
04.
“All I Need Is U” feat. Geeno & Drell
I
hate when I buy albums from iTunes & random songs seem to not wanna
convert. That means, I have to buy tha track(s) a 2nd tyme on
Amazon, in order to review/have tha track(s). Was this worth tha extra
purcha$e…? >>> Don’t know if Geeno got tha singin’ vibe down pat like
B-Real, yet? Sounds like an “A” track & by “A”, I mean Dat Boy “A”—“A”drian
Bagh…er, lol; that’s how I detect how its voice sounds… I have ta say, not
somethin’ that I thought was gon be depressin’; catchy shit…! Hearin’ you on
tha 1st verse & you got some good shit goin’ on, whether it
comes ta this loyalty shit; on Bone! Instantly, not tha type of track I’d go as
crazy as tha 1st three for but with this extra purchase, I guess tha
“extra” was wortheth iteth, lol? Say
that five tymes fast, lol! “Wortheth
iteth, wortheth iteth, wortheth iteth, wortheth iteth, wortheth
iteth!” Lol, I had only successfully said that five tymes fast, due to its
rhythm, not how ta say it in str8-up
English, lol! Don’t you luv that good, potent bud?! Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse & it sounds like a rough day in tha hoodz of BR; glad tha “struggle”
brings tha BEST strength out ya…!
Overall, a decent lil’ luvable song… My
Rating: 4.2
05.
“Who Cares” feat. DJ B-Real
Producer:
DJ B-Real
!
… ! … ! … >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ sample/key manipulation in tha
beat? Cool; diggin’ how tha hook sounds pretty hypnotizin’, even wit B-Real
playin’ wit tha voice EFX & shit… At least it’s only a portion of a voice
effect on tha hook, overall; it’s acceptable, here. Hearin’ tha 1st
verse from Bone & it sounds pretty fucked up wit tha whole
custody/baby-mama drama…Sounds like a dope lil’ B-Real verse on tha 2nd
verse, here; definitely cool…! Sounds like he runnin’ a race durin’ tha
beginning of tha verse & then, hits us wit tha brakes ta slowly end his
verse; definitely dope! Luv how this sounds real hypnotizin’, real &
boss-made, tho a “struggle” on tha outside, literally. My Rating: 4.7
06.
“Ain’t Gave Me Nothing” feat. Doe Boy
Almost
ain’t recognize this Doe Boy till I randomly looked on my blog & almost 400
reviewz ago, back four years ago, I reviewed seven-year-olds All Eyes On Me by Nino, as well as Soul Muzik by Geeno; Doe Boy iz
featured…! *Re-reads reviewz…* Hmm, looks like I went way more with tha Nino
route…! I remember when Lee Banks went by tha moniker, durin’ tha 2000’s &
early 2010’s. Seein’ later on this release that this Doe Boy done passed, let’s
see how much he was worth, here, as I hear
this…! >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ beat; definitely pure, to tha fulless! Cool lil’ hook wit how you come
through wit some of tha best-soundin’ shit fa tha undaground! Glad you released
this tha day b4 my most-recent birthday, tho I neva got tha chance ta peep it
out till now…! I kept my promise; glad I’m reviewin’ this, right nah…!! Hearin’
how you come through wit tha hook, again & that “nothing” vibe makes you a
strong one; real talk! Got tha good-ole Doe Boy on tha 2nd verse
& yeah, definitely nice wit what he presented fa you, here…! Sounds like he
had it rough wit tha BM drama; thank God I hopped over that venomous rabbit
hole!! Either way, definitely a dope collab, from gettin’ it out tha mud!! My Rating: 4.4
07.
“Built Like Dat”
2K-shitty-18,
here… >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ beat start, here…! Sounds like
anotha pure, Jigga City-type vibe, like anotha random/dope night in tha yo—tha
Bonefide yo, that iz!! Sounds like a dope lil’ 1st verse, tellin’ “it like it iz,” like a real
‘80s baby in they 30’s would! Definitely feelin’ how you comin’ through on
this, to tha fullest; definitely addictive & respected! Gotta be “Built
Like Dat”; you already know what it iz! Keepin’ this shit goin’ wit tha 2nd
verse, here, comin’ through wit nothin’ but tha best! You 💯% in these
streetz; I can hear it in tha ‘80s-baby quality of yours, of course! Dem ‘80s
babies know what it iz!! My Rating: 4.8
½time: Did tha weed make it seem
like this a special review?? I feel that it depends on tha original AL—anticipation level.
Because this was pretty “up there,” like my dude, Killa McClain, I already know
that tha weed only made tha AL
potent, ya heard me? It’s like I can really
appreciate & expose tha good vibes, ya feel me?! Definitely on tha right
track, with a 4.7
for tha average rating, right nah…!! That’s HUGE!!! It’s Young Ready That’s How I’m Coming—type HUGE!! I feel
like it’s those dayz, again; what betta way fa me ta approach Age 21!! I’m SO
glad I got ta reviewin’ this, like I said I was gon do, back on November 8th!
It’s all about accomplishin’ what you say
you gon do! That’s why, I’m leadin’/am valuable, till this day!!
08.
“Take A Ride” feat. DJ B-Real
Would
love to…! I remember when you & B took
“a ride,” earlier this year, on May 2nd. Y’all went to tha N.O.
& when I checked into tha live, I luv how B was like, “Frankiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!!
Frankiiiiiiiiiiiie!! Tha Lucky Dog…!” Great tyme; now, let’s see if this
“ride”’s worth it! >>> Definitely dope
as fuck wit tha screwed voice, as
well as tha beat intro slowly hittin’ hard!! Sounds like a dope lil’ hook, once
again! I feel almost tha same way wit tha B-Real voice-effect exploration, like
from earlier in this review…! Sounds good wit how you got tha 1st
verse goin’—should I say, “Ridin’,” like you, Bone, lol? Definitely dope; luv
tha “lean!” Luv how you fulla dem good “pillz,” just bein’ tha celeb you iz!!
Luv how this has a bit of an H-Town vibe in tha lyrics, as well as how y’all
slam tha BR vibes!! Ooh, B-Real on tha 2nd verse, really feelin’ tha vibe, to tha fullest (both
B-Real & I feelin’ tha vibe)!!
Definitely nice; luv how he have tha H-Town accent in this, too! Speakin’ of
this past year, I luved when, on
April 29th—I actually guessed it right, just now—B-Real had a story
with, I think, tha Fredo Most Hated
release in tha background & at tha end, he was like, “Yeah, that real mud!”
I feel tha stickiness in it, displayed here!! My Rating: 4.8
09.
“My Nigga (R.I.P. Doe Boy)” feat. Baby D
I
see y’all made a typo on tha late homie’s name, here. Usually, tha typo iz a
surroundin’ key; “B” & “D” are, like, keys away, lol… Either way, same
thing wit Doe Boy, we got Baby D, here, on tha feature. I know of a Baby D from
tha crunk tymes of tha 2000’s, as well as tha Baby D in tha dance-music world
of tha ‘90s. Now, we have a Baby D in tha 2K20’s—oh wait, 2K18, accordin’ to
tha year. He musta passed a while ago? >>> Again, it may sound like
anotha instant doubt but I’ono if this chick can be on a B-Real level, between
this singin’ & tha BR tight vibes…? I can appreciate it; it ain’t no
supa-sad song, luckily. I feel how tha beats back it up in a nice way, ya feel me? Maybe, I should do
a tribute video on Doe Boy, one day? At least you provided a fact in tha
beginning of tha 1st verse, “October 30, 1991.” Oh, damn, “October
14, 2017;” that’s following a Friday tha 13th & that was tha
same day that dude in tha BR streetz raped, robbed & threatened me! That street name
where it happened just grosses me out, now!! However, I do remember bein’ in
BR, durin’ that trip (my 3rd trip); I remember tryna get a hold of
B-Real & Pablo Escobar told me that homeboy passed away. I ain’t connect
who I thought died vs. Doe Boy as tha same person but now, it makes sense.
Needless ta say, definitely feelin’ how you expressin’ tha pain, stories, life
tymes & all tha moments ova this pure quality (production)!! Back ta
hearin’ tha 2nd verse & I luv how you lead tha leader path ta
your neph, here; glad you inspired
his presence! I look at you as a pure BR a$$et, no doubt; keep up tha Bonefide
grind!! Afta hearin’ how this track came out, between tha story & vibe, I
seem ta like it more than when it started…! My Rating: 4.4
10.
“My Girl”
Producer:
DJ B-Real
Hmm…
>>> Sounds like a cool lil’ B-Real beat, here. Like, it’s a gumbo pot?
Sounds like it’s for tha ladies; sounds like it’s a lil’ bit on an upbeat
R&B vibe; sounds like it’s for tha BR streetz? Lots in one gumbo pot!! Luv
how you comin’ through on tha 1st verse, here; definitely official!
Luv how B-Real holdin’ tha beat down, durin’ tha different patterns & shit;
definitely official! Luv how you
comin’ through on tha 2nd verse, Bone; all tha way “naked” on they
ass, too! Gates closed, it’s Bone’s home, here! Also, tha singin’ cool; glad it
came out tha way it did, nice & catchy/hood, ova tha B-Realness! My Rating: 4.6
11.
“I Heard” feat. DJ B-Real & Peter Pound
Str8
outta 2K18 wit a Small Circle Kartel collab, here…! >>> Definitely
dope shit fa tha streetz, here; all about them damn problemz! Great job collaboratin’ on tha hook, between you
& P-Pound! Also, B-Real on tha 1st verse, here, all about tha
instant/“direct” route, here! Always know you always got it, B-Real! I gon make SURE that I always got
it, all day, every day!! Got P-Pound on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’
through wit his presence, soundin’ dope fa these SCK streetz of BR…! Though
2K18 lead to my arrest, at least there was this hot track ta locally make it
through tha shitty air! Glad you got a FANTASTIC ear fa DOPE tracks, Bone!! You
on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through wit them bullet-piercin’ rhymes & flows fa tha 2-2-5; 💯!! My Rating: 4.5
12.
“What U Need” feat. Big Wayne & Young Bleed
Producer:
Big Wayne
Nice
that you got Bleed on tha feature. I know when I was wit you & B on
September 2nd, we talked about my upcomin’ mega BR collab. Not only
am I still invitin’ you on to tha collab but I even had Bleed in mind, as well.
When I told Bleed I was makin’ my way to tha Boot, he said, “I’m in Kentucky,” smh. Needless
ta say, here we go wit dis track; can’t wait ta hear…! >>> A nice lil’
intro; let’s git it…! When will Big Weezy make a comeback fa me? Been almost
four years since our last talk… Like, my last talk wit him iz almost longer
than me not talkin’ ta B-Real? Like, seems like two different planets, though
it’s my same life… Tha hook definitely
nice fa tha streetz; gotta luv it & why I luv tha BR lyfe…! Got you on tha
1st verse, Bone, comin’ through wit your dope rhymes, as always; you
know what it iziz…! Keepin’ it
movin’, of course, Mr. Blizzeed on
tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through nicely on a Wayne
beat…! Should I feel like it’s a guilty pleasure ta currently give Big Wayne feedback? Big Weezy
soundin’ nice on tha 3rd verse; I’ll leave it just at that, until he
reconnects wit me. In tha end, we all ‘80s babies… Then again, when he said,
“Fuck jail,” it’s ironic that while we weren’t talkin’ (still), I was in “jail” on his birthday, in 2019;
damn, Big Wayne…
My Rating: 4.3
13.
“Out My Brain” feat. DJ B-Real, Nino & Don Julio
Looks
like it gon be a hype, fun track…!! >>> Yeah, sounds like a pretty hype hook; luv how B-Real comin’ through wit these “barz” & as a “Watson!”
Luv that it’s a “Circle” presentation, here; you know what it iz!! “Been
poppin’ since 3:00,” huh? Definitely all-nightin’ to tha fullest, here; crazy!
Can only imagine tha EXPERIENCES
goin’ through y’all!! Bone, you really
official wit it!! Nino comin’ through on tha 2nd verse & he
sound like he one of tha most-official ones, here; I’m definitely always down
ta kick it wit BR’s best, in tha undaground! Oh boy, B-Real on tha 3rd
verse, comin’ outta nowhere wit “two,” when it comes to them “tabs;” definitely 💯!! Like, 💯 x 💯, accordin’ ta B-Real’s body?! I think so…! Definitely real nice wit how he provided his 💊-up & 💊-out ass, lol!! Luv how tha ending just echoes, fades
& iz still aggressive af!! My
Rating: 4.9
14.
“Stop Cuffin’”
Producer:
DJ B-Real
Two
words I hate! “Stop” & “cuffin’,”
especially since my arrest in cuffs!
That don’t “stop” me from anticipatin’ this one as a hot joint, tho…; maybe?
>>> Luv how tha intro part reminds me of our boy, Doe-Doe, in a sense.
Like, BR’s undaground, with tha dialect/beat vibe combination? Definitely dope;
feelin’ tha hook, too, wit tha beat goin’ off & tha catchiness…! Hearin’
tha 1st verse & it’s pretty nice, as “nice” iz tha consistent
way you know how ta deliver them tracks! 💯!! Bone always bones, lol, comin’
through wit tha “bitch” swappin’! An all-in hook!! Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse & tha consistency continues; livin’ that everyday life of tha BR
undaground, here…! My Rating: 4.2
15.
“Made Something Outta Nothing” feat. Geeno & Drell
Sappy-type
of ending…? I only rated it a 3.3 when I reviewed it, back in 2K13…
>>> Yeah, a lil’ sappy but I feel like I have a lil’ more appreciation
fa it. Sounds like tha bouncy-type of BR beat sounds good wit how y’all came
from tha “nothing;” thumbs up…! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse, Bone
& I’m feelin’ how you expressin’ tha life of tha Bonefide! Real talk…!
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from Drell & it’s pretty nice; nice lil’
consistent flow, even if this seemed like a decent 1st listen, in
tha past… Even a lil’ bit of Geeno comin’ through wit an outro part/endin’ of
this release… Good job, y’all; glad I’m feelin’ it a lil’ more ta help it keep
up wit your consistent ratings…! Great job; you bring an A+ vibe ta BR &
I’m glad you know where tha REAL
“A”-Game at!! My Current Rating: 4.0
Overall: I knew this release was
gon be tha shit but I ain’t thank by shmokin’ that weed that this was gon make
me feel like I was in 2008, only high!! That’s how I definitely want ta live my life, ya feel me?! AWESOME job believin’ as much in B-Real as you do; definitely worth
a FORTUNE, in tha end!! Even doin’
this review felt like I was in 2008 with how it progressed, my inescapable
feelings bein’ expressed, tha quality & B-Real’s contribution rate!! Definitely
one for tha books, here!! Hate that I reviewed it a half-year & a
third-month—lol—late, lol. However, I’m just glad you got my $$$, Bone, not
just for this release but already on tha bidne$$ side of thangz! That’s a “W”
for “Wonafide,” lol; frfr!
