Time
to wake up with a review: Str8 outta Baton
Rouge, it’s Swamp
Dawg Da Bayou Bandit, released in
1998 on Tailor Made Records & was produced by David Ray! Start Time: 2:15 AM | End Time: 2:53 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!

anymore; crazy shit… I done evolved and am glad I finally made it to tha Boot!
Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ nice and
aggressive, as always! Diggin’ how tha beat has, like, a Louisiana-soundin’
sample (forget what it iz, but it’s “dinn-dinn-dinn; dinn-dinn-dinn-dinn…”)…

content, here! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice,
here; good shit… Lol, “I sell my dope, but I ain’t no dealer;” what could you

too; good shit, here… “Hopin’ it ain’t 5-0;” say it, x3! Got tha 3rd
