Time
for more reviewz… Happy Birthday to DJ Ya Boy Earl & Rudye out dat Rouge!
Fa now, here goes my review fa O.C.B.
(Outta Control Ballers) Interstate,
released in 1998 on 4 Down Entertainment! All tha tracks were produced by Loco
(spelled “Locco”, I think), except #2, produced by Mannie Fresh & #17,
produced by Duck! Start Time: 1:58 AM
| End Time: 2:59 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 and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it!
