Review #1,915: Wargize "War Cry"

Reviewed on 12.28.2019 (Review #1,915)

Here comes my next review: Wargize War Cry, released in 1999 on Mob Figga Records! All tha tracks were produced by Big Ro & Gold Fingaz (Roland & Goldfingers, they mean?) & both tha intro & outro were produced by DJ Duck! Start Time: 8:08 AM | End Time: 9:14 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Intro

>>> So much hype from Duck on tha beatz, here! Definitely nice, as far as tha mixin’ & err-thang goes! My Rating: N/A

02. “Act Bad” feat. Midnight
>>> Sounds good wit tha 1^st verse, here; beat on point, too… Tha Midnight dude sounds great ta rap wit y’all, as well; good shit… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds nice & anthemic; nice job… Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here & it str8; nice job, once again… Got a 2^nd part of tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here & it cool; nothin’ much ta say… My Rating: 4.1

03. “Big Hearts, Broke Pockets”
>>> Not bad wit this beat & how tha 1^st verse iz… Got tha 2^nd part of tha 1^st verse goin’ on & it str8… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds good wit tha voice ta deliver this… A lil’ boring wit this beat vibe, as this shit continues… Tha 2^nd verse str8, tho I don’t really have anythang ta say… My Rating: 3.6

04. “Heavenly Father” feat. Beirut & Rivers

>>> Not really my kinda track, even tho tha slow beat cool & eerie… I like tha line on tha 1^st verse, “I plead guilty ta thug livin’;” nice… Verses are str8/good but this track too long fa me ta keep my interest in… My Rating: 3.3

05. “Bury Ya Smilin’” feat. Ski-Mask, Beirut & Thee Assassin

>>> Sounds like a good lil’ hook & beat, as y’all holdin’ it down fa tha streetz… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good wit tha aggression; I digz it… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse & it sounds good, too; keep it goin’, y’all…! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & it’s dope fa tha hood, here; good shit… Hearin’ tha 2^nd part of tha 3^rd verse & this shit nice; great collab, too…! My Rating: 4.0

06. “World Of Madness” (Rivers feat. Mr. Felton, Lavonda & Kema)
>>> Beat’s dope; singin’ on tha hook from a chick, here, that sounds okay… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it ain’t bad, here; sounds like anotha song fa tha struggle? Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here & this real-life shit’s a lil’ rough ta hear. Although it’s rough, I must admit, that gunshot sound part’s pretty intense & good fa tha song’s power… Tha rest of this shit okay; not my cup of tea, overall… My Rating: 3.2

07. “Been There B-4”
>>> A lil’ intro, here & then, tha 1^st verse…; sounds good fa tha streetz, here… Hearin’ tha 2^nd part of tha 1^st verse & tha content gutta fa tha hood, as usual… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds good, even tho it kinda blends in wit tha verses, so I can’t tell when it comes on… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & y’all sound good, as usual. Whether or not my interest iz high, just know that I give y’all props, somewhere… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & it’s soundin’ good; I’m diggin’ these rhymes & energy… This track seems long fa bein’ 5:29 on tha length, so my interest kinda went a lil’ sour… My Rating: 3.4

½time: Doesn’t seem as hot as I thought it would be… Only a 3.6-rated CD, so far, as a good portion of tha tracks are sad, too long or they don’t interest me that much…

08. “Can You Forgive Me”
>>> Sounds a lil’ sappy wit tha vibe of tha beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it okay, here… Tha 2^nd part of tha 1^st verse’s okay, as well; I don’t wanna hear about a struggle, tho. It’s bad enough what I’m goin’ through, as it iz…! Hearin’ tha hook & I agree wit bein’ forgiven fa what went on, earlier this year. It’s just, err-body takes so long & they look at you different! That’s why, I’m tryin’ my best ta move on…! Just gotta stack up a lil’ more & I’ll be good… Either way, not really my style fa tha hook’s content, tho… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds good, at times; I’ll give tha rhymes props… My Rating: 3.0

09. “Beef Play” feat. Midnight
>>> Sounds more my style wit this Hot Boy$-like production…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s soundin’ nice, here; keep goin’… Sounds like a cool lil’ hook; y’all havin’ fun wit dis one…! Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here & it sounds good, as y’all keep tha hype up…! Mo shit ta offer wit tha 3^rd verse, here & anotha nice collab; great! My Rating: 4.2

10. “World Wide” feat. The Mob Figga Young Hog Fam

>>> Beat sounds good, here, as well as tha 1^st verse’s energy…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd part of tha 1^st verse & it good; nice job… Mo shit on tha 1^st verse, or did I not hear tha hook right? Hearin’ tha 3^rd part of tha 1^st verse & it good… Damn, a 4^th part of tha 1^st verse? It sounds good; lots of y’all, it sounds like…? Okay, I think I hear tha hook & it sounds good; err-thang blends in too much? Hearin’ tha next part & it sounds good, too… Mo shit soundin’ good as tha following part (we’ll call it tha “6^th part” from this point on) & it’s nice; consistent rhymes! “My religion iz tha game;” married to it! Got tha 7^th part, here, soundin’ good fa tha hood, too… Got tha 8^th part, here & it’s nice; err-body did a nice job wit this one, basically…! Got a 9^th part, here & it’s nice; what else can I say? OMG, iz that tha real hook, at tha end? Needed that energy throughout tha whole track ta break it up…! My Rating: 3.8

11. “Killaz Behind Ya Tailights” feat. Ski-Mask & Beirut

>>> Sounds like an okay hook, here; beat decent, too… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s aight; can’t complain, here… Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here & it sounds decent; I’ll give it props… Got tha 3^rd verse goin’ on, here & this shit continues ta do a nice job…; decent/good, overall… Hearin’ tha 2^nd part of tha 3^rd verse & it str8; sounded short? My Rating: 3.7

12. “War Cry”
>>> Really likin’ how this beat sounds, here…! Tha hook’s nice & tha beat’s pure!! Feelin’ its soul, I guess? Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & you gotta feel it ova this beat! I like tha “final attack” part, too…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd part of tha 1^st verse & it cool; nice job wit deliverin’ on this shit…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & this shit’s nice, as it continues…!

My Rating: 3.9

14. “Roll With Real Gs” feat. Midnight & Rivers

>>> Sounds like a cool vibe & tha hook’s nice… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & I hear more of tha N.O. flava in tha voice/flow, here; definitely nice…! Got tha 2^nd part of tha 1^st verse & it’s gangsta at its finest, ya dig? Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds nice; regular-soundin’ street shit, here… Hearin’ tha 2^nd part of tha 2^nd verse, here & it’s back to tha true N.O. flava! Gotta luv these voices/flows! My Rating: 4.2

15. Outro

>>> Great job, DJ Duck, fa tha mixin’ & production on this outro! My Rating: N/A

Overall: As tha 1^st ½ kinda bored me, tha 2^nd ½ had some luck. I started ta hear tha true N.O. voices toward tha end, as well! Too bad there wasn’t enough of it but this review should do tha trick for notes…
