Review #1,967: 504 Boyz "Goodfellas"

Reviewed on 6.01.2021 (Review #1,967)

 

 

All right! I made it to my 4^th review for today; let’s see if I can hit that 2,000 mark by tha 10^th! Here’s my next review: 504 Boyz Goodfellas, released in 2000 on No Limit Records & Priority Records! This 504 Boyz lineup for their debut consisted of C-Murder, Krazy, Mac, Magic, Master P, Mystikal & Silkk The Shocker, b4 C got locked up. Start Tyme: 5:34 PM | End Tyme: 6:39 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 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 #1,879: Magic "Thuggin'"

Reviewed on 12.18.2019 (Review #1,879)

Here comes anotha review! Magic Thuggin’, released in 1999 on No Limit Records & Priority Records! Start Time: 6:37 PM | End Time: 7:44 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!
