Review #1,525: Street Thugz "Tales From The Hood"

Reviewed on 9.21.2016 (Review #1,525)

Review #03 today: Street Thugz Tales From The Hood, released in 1993 on N2Deep Records & was produced by Christian, Mystro & Ledford. Start Time: 4:10 PM | End Time: 4:25 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 and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “Tales From The Hood”

Let’s hear it!! >>> Intro gets me amped, here… Tha 1^st verse kicks in with tha regular-soundin’ beat and it’s good; feelin’ tha rappin’, here… It’s all about keepin’ it gangsta and you gotta live dat life… Tha hook sounds nice; feelin’ tha “tales from the hood” and how it’s delivered… Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ pretty nice, too… Tha 3^rd verse nice ta hear, too; props for keepin’ it “hood” on tha track. My Rating: 4.2

02. “Addicted To The Dope Game”
>>> Sounds good with “the” intro, here… Tha 1^st verse’s soundin’ pretty nice with this beat; can’t complain… Tha hook sounds nice; definitely feelin’ this title… Tha beat’s pretty funky and “G”; nice shit! Diggin’ tha 2^nd verse, here, on tha come-up… Tha 3^rd verse’s pretty nice, too; can’t complain! My Rating: 4.3

½time: Nice lil’ joint, here… A 4.3-rated tape; keep it goin’!!

03. “Addicted To The Dope Game (Radio)”

Oh, tha radio version… See #2 fa tha review!

04. “I Shot The Sheriff”

>>> Beat’s pretty nice and I’m definitely diggin’ tha gangsta rhymes throughout tha 1^st verse! Tha hook’s nice; feelin’ how you came through and “shot” tha scene up! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too, with this “piano” and shit… Tha 3^rd verse pretty raw, too; y’all doin’ it big, here! My Rating: 4.4

Overall: Short but sweet; definitely felt tha rhymes and tha way this gangsta shit was produced, overall! Thumbs up!
