Back
up in tha mornin’ fa mo reviewz…! Still couldn’t get up at 3:55, due to my neck
needin’ to be re-calibrated by me layin’ flat. However, I’m up now & I’m
ready ta review: Black Menace Mo Drama iz my next review, released
in 2000 on Menace Entertainment! Start Tyme:
5:19 AM | End Tyme: 6:32 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!

“Yes Indeed” feat. Insane & Mr. Terror of Foolish
Producer:
Kajun Phunk
>>>
Kickin’ off with a bouncin’ & hype vibe, here… Sounds like a good lil’
hook, although it sounds a lil’ dated when I hear tha chick say tha title part;
that’s just me, tho. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds like it’s
on some Cash Money-type shit, but on a faster tip; good shit, y’all. Keepin’
this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse & I’m diggin’ tha rapid,
southern, kick-ass rappin’; dumb shit!! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse &
it’s pretty dope, as well; can’t be denied with tha Black Menace boyz! Oh shit,
ain’t realize there was room fa a 4th verse—oh wait, just a few
extra barz from Mr. Terror! My Rating: 4.3
02.
“Fuck Friends”
Producer: Hakeem & Kajun Phunk
>>>
Sounds like anotha hyped-up street anthem, here; good hook & beat, too!
Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds pretty gutta; gotta luv how
tha Menace boyz come thru! Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2nd verse
& it’s true: “You ain’t heard of tha Menace? Where tha fuck you niggaz
from?” iz what y’all sayin’; I agree. I been knowin’ y’all fa a long minute,
now, even showin’ y’all buku luv on my then-radio show, “Tha Louisiana Pit”.
With that bein’ said, great job with tha 2nd verse; “fuck” those
that aren’t “friends”! Hearin’ tha 3rd
verse & it’s cool, too; just luv y’all energy fa tha streetz at all tymes! Keepin’ this shit goin’ with
tha 4th verse & it’s cool ta add; more darker, deeper street
shit, here… My Rating: 4.3
03.
“Watch’em”
Producer: Precise
>>>
Sounds familiar; I know some of these tracks from either previous reviewz or
random radio spins. I’ono if I’m re-reviewin’ but this sounds good with tha
hook & energy applied; great shit! Hearin’ tha 1st verse &
it’s cool with what’s comin’ through tha mic; keep it movin’! Keepin’ this shit
goin’ with tha 2nd verse & y’all know what it iz with tha
quality for tha streetz! Tha 3rd verse’s pretty gutta; I feel like
I’m at a relative’s afterparty with tha Graveyard Soldjas! Also, a
dope-soundin’ 4th verse; fully-focused on rappin’ awesome on tha
beat, here! My Rating: 4.7
04.
“Don’t Talk About It” feat. Geronimoe of Foolish, Insane & Tim Smooth
Producer:
DJ Dick
Geronimoe
iz also known as P-Town Moe, FYI… >>> Gotta luv tha continuous energy
on this Mo Drama! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it’s pretty hype; luvin’ tha energetic street content! Hearin’ tha
hook & it sounds like anotha anthem, especially with tha “uh oh!!” chant in
tha background! Gotta luv tha energy; I always say it! Keepin’ this shit goin’
on tha 2nd verse & Tim Smooth comin’ through wit some street
knowledge, mixed with this club-type shit; nice combo…! Also, mo shit comin’
outta tha 2nd verse; gotta dig tha continuation! Hearin’ tha 3rd
verse comin’ through, here & it’s cool; some of it sounds slightly off-beat
but tha contribution’s nice ta hear, basically. My Rating: 4.4
05.
“Madness”
Producer: Hakeem
>>>
Sounds like a gangsta-ass beat start; definitely feelin’ tha darkness! Sounded
like tha rappin’ came outta nowhere with its quickness; may be a lil’ too fast,
tho? Like, good 1st verse but a lil’ too fast? Maybe, that’s why
this iz called “Madness”? Tha hook’s pretty dope with how it’s delivered; tha
“Madness” continues! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse,
here, comin’ through with mo “Madness”; good shit! My Rating: 4.4
06.
“We Are One / Definition Of Love”
Producer: Hakeem
>>>
A lot softer than tha previous joint! Sounds like a good lil’ street hook, at
least; glad y’all can bring out tha street vibe. Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it’s aight; sounds less-enjoyable ta me, in its softer wayz. Like,
tha content’s still “written in blood”; it’s just a softer flow than tha
previous jointz on here. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s str8; not
much ta say about it… Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 3rd verse, here,
comin’ through with a more-lively voice & flow; a lil’ betta, this tyme…
Tha 2nd part of tha 3rd verse seems a lil’ sappy with tha
voice & flow, this tyme; not really into tha sad struggle… My Rating: 3.7
07.
“Block Bleeder” feat. Insane & Smitty Da Pimp
Producer: Hakeem
>>>
Sounds like a good lil’ slow beat fa tha streetz but tha hook’s definitely
catchy with this flow; great job, y’all! Hearin’ tha 1st verse &
it’s all about bleedin’ tha “block”;
good shit/rhymes! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse,
comin’ through with a great sense of rapid rappin’; huh bruh…! Hearin’ tha 3rd
verse & it’s pretty nice with what y’all contributin’ to tha track; great
job with tha collab…! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 4th verse,
here, comin’ through wit some nice-ass rapid rappin’! My Rating: 4.2
08.
“Do Watcha Gonna Do” feat. Valerie George
Producer:
Hakeem
>>> Beat ain’t bad but provides energy fa y’all ta kick ass on tha 1st
verse, here; great job with tha hood shit…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s a lil’
sappy fa me with this chick singin’; woulda rather’ve heard Ms. Tee’s voice.
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty nice, as this hood track
continues… Mo shit comin’ out this track with tha 3rd verse, here,
soundin’ like some good street shit; not bad, overall, for tha verses… Got a 4th
verse, here, soundin’ like an okay contribution; just seems like too much, at
this point in tha track… My Rating: 2.8
½tyme: Y’all real consistent with tha tracks, energy
& hood content, here; definitely a major plus! Just didn’t really fuck wit
#08 but for tha most part, y’all keep that energy up fa tha streetz! Y’all got
a 4.1
for tha average rating, so far; let’s keep it movin’!
09.
“Drama As Usual”
Producer:
Kajun Phunk
>>> Again, this anotha one of those familiar titles, so I’m not 100% sure
if I already heard this one… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty
much filled with insanity; beats are energetic & tha rhymes are
undeniable!! Also, hearin’ tha hook & it goes through so fast to where you
have to automatically accept it as a banga; good shit! Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse & it’s pretty nice, as this rapidness continues…! Keepin’ this shit
movin’ with tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ great ta hear;
unstoppable! My Rating: 4.5
10.
“Rush The Floor” feat. Kangol of PNC & Sporty-T
Producer:
Precise
>>>
Slightly slower than tha previous joint but still fulla energy; nice lil’ hook,
here…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty dope with this
life-of-tha-party shit…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s catchy; can’t deny tha
club at all tymes! Keepin’ this shit
goin’ with tha 2nd verse & this deeper-soundin’ voice gives more
of a street vibe, compared to my club-soundin’ perspective; good shit… Keepin’
this shit goin’ with tha 3rd verse, as well; some mo street shit at
its finest…! Nice outro from Sporty-Tiggy-Tiggy-T, as well; props fa tha hype…!
My Rating: 4.2
11.
“Po-Mama”
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> Thought this was gon be more depressin’ but it’s more energetic
than I thought; good lil’ beat & 1st verse, here…! Props fa
havin’ that aggression ta express this street shit; this that shit you need fa
quality! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds expressive but not too depressin’, at
least… Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty
nice; keep bein’ gritty & grimy! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & tha
“ganja marijuana” be on-n-poppin’; definitely what’s up! Seems like a bunch of
shit sounds random ta hear on this track but that’s ‘cause there’s so many
lyrics; insanity! My Rating: 4.1
12.
“Hustlin’ 4 Nothin’”
Producer:
Kajun Phunk
>>> A slower track? I’ono how much I can feel this; “and, do you
care………???” Like, more cheesy than serious, as far as how I take it? Hearin’
tha 1st verse & it’s aight; just sounds too much like it’s on a
depressin’ tip, here… Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 2nd verse,
here, comin’ through with some nice rhymes; good rappin’ & shit, despite
tha struggle. Got a 3rd verse comin’ through, here, soundin’ like a
set of bad street scenes; ouch… Ouch @ tha “empty stocking,” when it comes to
“Christmas”; too sad ta hear…! My
Rating: 3.2
13.
“All Around The World”
Producer: Hakeem
>>> Glad there’s more energy with this one; feelin’ how tha hook
sounds & how y’all wanna live it up ta escape tha negativity! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it’s pretty nice with this beat; continuous energy…! Keepin’ this
shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice; props fa
keepin’ tha rhymes goin’…! Got mo shit comin’ with tha 3rd verse,
here, soundin’ like anotha good, rapid-spit verse…! Got a 4th verse
comin’ through, here, soundin’ pretty nice ta hear, once again; a whole album
just loaded with verses! My Rating: 4.1
14.

tha aggressive side of tha club, here, in tha dark! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it’s dope; tha life of a gangsta in tha night! Keepin’ this shit
movin’ with tha 2nd verse, soundin’ nice & consistent; steady
movin’ with tha quality! Really feelin’ tha N.O. energy on tha 3rd
verse’s delivery; props fa havin’ this collab on lock, y’all! Luv tha
consistency of this 3rd verse! Put tha “blues” in ‘em! Of course,
there’s still room fa a 4th verse, here…; sounds like a good lil’
verse, regardless. I feel tha Magic-like aggression in tha voice; gotta hold it
down! My Rating: 4.5
15.
“Why”
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>> Tha energy continues, here! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s nice; just
keep these dark tales comin’! Tha proper energy helps me embrace tha tracks!
Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s dope with how y’all come through
with this dark tale of tha 5-0-4! Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2nd
verse, here, soundin’ like a good lil’ verse; diggin’ tha consistency of tha
rhymes & flow! Basically, tha word I’m lookin’ for to describe Black Menace
iz “unstoppable”! Got tha 3rd verse goin’ on, here, dealin’ with
that life “behind tha buildin’”; don’t be “stressin’,” tho! Gotta hang in
there; this beat’s energy can tell you tha same! My Rating: 4.0
16.
“Nigga What’s Happenin’?”
Producer: DJ Dick
>>> Mo energy & I like this energy slightly betta than tha
previous joint; good hook & how focused y’all iz! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & y’all really got tha
focus on lock with tha hook; can’t deny y’all passion fa this shit! Hearin’ tha
2nd verse & it’s dope with how consistent it iz with tha title;
undeniable, once again! So much energy bein’ applied; no wonder why tha streetz
really embrace y’all asses! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse, here & it’s
aggressive af; gotta luv tha aggression! It’s literally like runnin’ a mile or

Menace energy to survive!! Hearin’ tha 4th verse & damn!! “Fuck a lottery ticket”; like,
y’all really have tha mind of

17.
“Take It To The Streets” (Insane)
Producer: Kajun Phunk
>>>
Sounds like a nice lil’ Cash Money-like beat, just like tha 1st
track sounded…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s dope with how
Insane comes through with this southern voice; he Louisiana to tha bone! Luv tha consistent
rhymes; glad he provided some shine on his own, here! Hearin’ tha hook &
it’s dope; gotta hold it down fa these “streets”, Mr. Sane! Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse & it’s pretty dope; however, self-esteem sinkin’ with all tha
“stressin’” shit? Can’t be; just keep shmokin’, like you previously stated! Mo
shit comin’ through with a 3rd verse, no matter if tha track’s only
2:26 on tha length! Dope with how Insane just doesn’t stop!! My Rating: 4.3
Overall: Excellent job, y’all;
y’all know what it iz! Y’all really
shined on this bih, between all tha energy, all tha aggressive deliveries &
how y’all came through with tha street content! Awesome job; neva stop
grindin’!!
