FrankieThaLuckyDog back up in tha buildin'!! Not stoppin' these reviews, as I'm
on tha 3rd one today! This next one iz Raw II Survive "West Syde G'z"! Start Time: 3:58 PM | End
Time: 5:01 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 or have auto-tune
in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!

01. "Blood, Sweat N Tears"
I have a feelin' it gon be a slow song ta start thangz off; let's see...
>>> A female startin' it off wit a pretty uptempo beat here. Her
rhymes are real great, and keepin' it down in tha undaground fa tha style! Nice
job on that 1st verse! Nice lil' hook, and here comes tha 2nd verse wit a
male... Tha verse iz good, especially when it comes ta survivin'! Tha 3rd verse
iz tha best one on here. I like tha paranoia of tha "elevators down"
part! My Rating: 3.7
02. "Crippin' N Da Darkness"
A raw title here... Lookin' forward ta this one!! >>> This song sounds
betta, and it's on tha gangsta tip wit tha lyrics! Nice lyrics here (along wit
tha flow)! Feelin' tha 2nd verse here as it's consistent wit tha 1st verse. Mo
gangsta shit in tha 3rd verse, so you know this shit ain't lackin'! My
Rating: 3.8
03. "West Syde G'z"
Tha title track... Hope it's betta than tha last 2 songs! >>> Tha
lyrics in tha hook about "where ya ward at, where ya ward at?" makes
me think this gon be an anthem! Oh, shit! I hear a Bounce sound at 1:15, doin'
a nice job in tha beat! That's L.O.G. on tha 2nd verse (accordin' to what he said)?
If so, then thumbs up on him makin' a check-in into tha track!! Unless he's a
part of Raw II Survive, then I don't know. Tha 3rd verse sounds great on this
shit! Nice Bounce vocal style in tha vocals! Glad tha ending ended wit tha
"dunn-dunn-dunn-dunn" Bounce style!! My Rating: 4.2
04. "Encounta With A Killa"
A betta title, and I'm sure this gon be a betta song!! I can just picture what
tha song gon be like in my head when I hear it!! >>> Pretty nice
start, and tha lyrics are interesting here. Good hook too, and tha 2nd verse
here iz soundin' like it good. Tha flow iz nice, and tha attitude in tha
rappin' works on this shit too! Nice job wit that 3rd verse too on this shit! My
Rating: 4.0
05. "Roll Dat Thing"
Ooh, iz this gon be a weed anthem? I REALLY look forward ta this, especially
wit 4:30 on tha length!! >>> Naw, it about a gurl "rollin' dat
thang." LOL @ tha skippin' on tha mp3 here... Pretty good song here. Tha
beat/singin' in tha hook almost reminds me of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. "Quite
doggish" on tha 2nd verse, lol. Real interesting in tha 2nd verse wit
"Santa Claus" also! My Rating: 3.9
06. "Don't Value Ya Life"
Wanna know what gon be said in here... >>> It almost sounds like 2Pac
in tha beginning! That attitude in tha beginning, especially wit tha "yo
bitch-ass" part was NICE! LOL @ tha Bounce beat, instead of bein'
"dunn-dunn-dunn-dunn," it's "din-din-din-din" in this one! Yea,
you ARE "outta control" on this shit right chea!! Tha 2nd verse on
that gangsta shit; thumbs up! A female on tha 3rd verse here, doin' her thang!
She keepin' it gangsta, so thumbs up once again! My Rating: 4.3
07. Rock-A-Bye Bitch
LOL @ tha title & length (1:44)! >>> Sounds like it not a song,
and that it an interlude. Interesting, but I don't know what tha title has ta
do wit it. What, iz someone outta your life? Oh, I see. Tha title was said, and
then some shootin' happened along wit tha skeetin' away on tha wheels, lol! My
Rating: N/A
½time: Not bad so far, although my ratings are not that bad either. I
don't know what else I gon expect wit tha rest of it though...
08. "Let It Be Known"
Could be a good song? >>> Ooh, faster style here wit a Bounce feel!!
This tha type of N.O. shit I wanted ta hear on this CD, and I'm glad it's finally
here! Tha chants, flows and lyrics in this shit iz great, and I'm enjoyin' it
tha whole way 'round! I like tha "ya heard me" parts in tha chants.
That hook iz tight! My Rating: 4.4
09. "Cu Cu"
Huh? LOL... >>> LMAO?!? "I'm 'cu cu fa Cocoa Puffs?" This
gon make me laugh!! Even addin' "tha coochie pop" in this too! Now,
all this needs iz tha "dunn-dunn-dunn-dunn" Bounce vibe!! Nice job on
tha 1st verse; "I'm cu cu fa Cocoa Puffs!" If this would've came out
now, EVERYBODY would've been hatin' on it, lol!! Tha rest was good. This a high
rating from me 'cause of tha hilarious hook!!! My Rating: 4.8
10. "Don't Make It A Murda"
Looks like anotha great joint! >>> Nice vibe in tha beat, and nice
gangsta hood lyrics in tha 1st verse here. Tha 2nd verse iz pretty good too;
feelin' tha lyrics. Nice hustlin' style in tha 2nd verse, as well as keepin' it
gangsta too! My Rating: 4.1
11. "U Can Run Muthafucka"
GOOD title!! Hope it's a GOOD song too!! >>> Interesting beat here,
and tha hook iz nice! It's what I wanted, so thumbs up! Tha 1st verse here, and
it's got those usual gangsta/hood lyrics, so good job! Tha female iz here on
tha 2nd verse, and she's keepin' this verse hood too! Nice 3rd verse here too,
as it's just as consistent as tha rest of tha verses, only a lil' betta! Iz
that a 4th verse too? Shit chea! STILL keepin' it hood wit "that pound of cocaine!"
Real cold ending on this shit no less. My Rating: 4.4
12. "Raw II Survive"
Ooh, a self-titled single right chea! Really lookin' forward ta it!!
>>> Sounds like a song ta where ya need ta calm ya nerves down or
somethin'... Tha female iz on tha 2nd verse here, and doin' a nice job! Here
comes tha 3rd verse, startin' off druggie style, lol! "Quarter key,
quarter key." Tha hook iz real wit tha "survivin'" part. Nice
joint right here. My Rating: 4.0
13. "For Da Bitches"
Looks like it could be a good anthem? How will it be like compared to
"Cocoa Puffs", LMAO!?! >>> LMFAO, speakin' of that song, tha
intro here has tha same shit wit tha "ha ha, I'm cu cu, ha ha, I'm cu
cu!" WTF? Iz this tha same song as that 'cause that's what tha hook iz?!?
I'm guessin' this iz just a remix 'cause this ain't a clean version. Oh wait,
afta realizin' and comparin' this between tha "Cu Cu", this iz a
dirty version of that. Shit, I should've just reviewed this one first so I
didn't need ta review tha clean version. Either way, still hilarious!! See
#9 fa tha review!
14. Nigga Trippin'
Tha last song... Ewe, 1:10 on tha length? Then, this prolly an outro... I'm
glad I got tha clean version of "For Da Bitches/Cu Cu"! >>>
Nice lil' phone call. Nothin' really ta say about it though... My Rating:
N/A
Overall: Well, decent/good CD. Nothin' bad, but tha 2nd 1/2 helped it
get betta ratings from me. I don't know what else ta say...
