if any of you dont kno Dubb 20 is one of the four Ghetto Starz, all of who have hella appearances and shit on this album. If you dont kno who the Ghetto Starz are, your sleepin, cuz these fools are the future of the game. they come with dope beats, delivery, and really good lyrics. they from Pittsburg, CA.

I dont have my CD case wit me, so i cant tell you the production. but i kno that there is probably 5 Rob Lo beats, but maybe a little less. The other production is handled by Baby Bubb, who has some knocks, and Night Train.. i'm pretty sure thats it. aight, here we go.

1. Intro (ft. RobLo)
-This beat is fire. a good beat to intro a CD. it has cool strings and dope tempo to it. Dubb spits hella tight on this shit. "I had the talent to rap/picture that/I was so used to/ peddlin crack and clappin gats" The chorus is tight as fuck too "I dont expect you to feel what i feel/ cuz you n*ggas is fake and i'm real" This is a tight ass song, im gonna knock it. [credits say ft. Roblow, but he isn'n on this shit spittin, maybe its the beat.]

9.0/10

2. Told You About (ft. Montana Macks)
-Beat to this is really coo too. Has more a gangsta feel then the one before, and Dubb 20 spits more dope lyrics. The chorus is pretty coo. Montana Macks then spits a verse, and it is alright, but Dubb is shittin on him.

7.5/10

3. Thug Muzik (ft. Maki)
-This beat is chill as fuck. Really few instruments, but at the chorus this thing goes off that sounds like the instrument that Peter Pan has or some shit but it sounds ill. Maki spits first and he is hella talented, cuz he did the beat for this too. His verse has really tight lyrics. Dubb 20 does the hook adn spits a cool ass verse. Knock this when you are high.

8.5/10

4. Like Pro's (ft. Kreep, Montana, Official)
-This beat is sorta weaker then the others. it doesnt really sound like something the STarz would spit over. Dubb goes first wit a coo ass verse "it was all a dream, it took time, it took muscle/ all a scheme, i had to grind, i had to hustle". The next dude isn't too tight, but hes still cool. not as lyrical as the 'Starz. Third one is pretty tight, i think it is Montana Macks or whatever. He's coo tho. The fourth dude is fuckin tight. He has a sick voice, and spits pretty tight too. hes really deep voice sorta like Scoob Nitty but wit a little southern in him.

7.5/10

5. My Bitches
-Dubb Spits about hoes on this shit, like all the past hoes he has had or whatever and its pretty sick. not my favorite concept but it knocks. Beat is ill too, it starts out wit a electric guitar type noise, then the beat kicks in and its really chill. kinda East Coast but really tight. ''i got a pretty girl named pretty girl and she pretty thorough/ willin to die for me cuz she hates life in this shitty world" knockin.

8.0/10

6. Yall Heard About Us (ft. Montana Macks, Pueblo Strips)
-This beat is tight, but i dont like the snare. Otherwise, its kinda mellow sounding. First guy is pretty weak, not feelin his delivery or voice. Dubb 20 on the hook, which is well written hook. Next dude spits pretty coo, tighter voice and delivery then the first one. Better lyrics too. Dubb 20 reminds me of Fat Joe sorta on this shit, his voice. But this shit knocks.

8.0/10

7. Cove World
-This beat is hard hittin, and its got a dope sound to it. Dubb spits some of his dopest shit on here, just about slangin and growin up on the blocks or whatever. Talks a lot about how his mom smoked crack and shit. 'what you posed to do when both of your parents smoke/ you sell coke, and they both stealin your dope/ i moved out, i cant go under no more/ plus i got fronted, so thats money i owe" sick song.

8.5/10

8. Choices (ft. Al Low, Pueblo Indians, UZI)
-Beat on this is another banger. hard to describe but it bangs. First cat sounds like one of the dudes out the BOK, but he spits tight lyrics. i'm pretty sure this is Al Low. Next dude is ill, he spits dope lyrics and has a tight voice too. Dubb spits after that, and its ill as usual. Fourth guy is tight too, spits coo ass lyrics and has a tight voice. Then theres a 5th guy i think, unless i am just too high to figure out whats what. He's ill, tight lyrics and delivery. Then UZI gets on this shit, and he SHITS ON EVERY1! Uzi is a hogg, this is a dope lyrics if you are an Uzi fan. This is my favorite track on here so far probably.

9.0/10

9. Outta This World (ft. Smash Unit)
-This beat is pretty tgiht also. Only one beat on here so far ithink is weak. First guy's delivery reminds me a lil of Mac Dre, but his voice is different and hes sick. Dubb on the chorus which is sick "You faker then a 3 dolla bill, yo lyrics aint real so/ we cuttin yo water/ just when you thought we eased up?/ we fuckin em harder/" dudes after are sick too, both spit like in and out short verses and they both are coo. It doesnt say it in the credits, but UZI spits on this too, and hes ill as fuck on this shit like usual. KNOCKIN

9.0/10

10. How They Act (ft. Nutt Bridle)
-Sick ass beat here. Has some bells and some strings, really chill. This one is about not trustin hoes. Dubb 20 spit first, and he comes hard. He spits 3 verses, all fire. Nutt Bridle only talks in the beggining, no verse from him. Another banger.

8.0/10

11. Fortune and Fame (ft. Scoob Nitty)
-Sick ass beat! it has spanish guitar type sound it, wit a whistle its relaly tight. I think this is a Roblo track. Dubb spits first. 'my hood aint no different from yours/ aint no sunshine in the ghetto when it rains it pours/" After this, spits someone else. it isnt Scoob Nitty but its tight verse. After the chorus its some other fool, and hes coo. UZI spits last, wit a dope verse, definatly the tightest of all on this song. 'i aint a ghetto star for nothin, just because i came from it, commited crimes in public, and never ashamed of it" dope track.

9.0/10

12. No Shit
-ill beat on this. laid back type pace. Dubb spits coo as fuck on this. its about beef and shit. Dubb has some of his sickest verses on this.

8.5/10

13. Super Natural Family
-beat on this is kinda weird, im not feelin it too much. it doesnt sound like Dubb's type shit, but he spits tight too. "hot shots echo thru ya tenemant/ ya better duck, cuz aint a soul innocent/"

7.0/10

14. We Guttah (ft. Ghetto STarz)

sorry i am runnin outta time, but this siht bangs hard wit ill verses from all the starz. one of the best on the album.

9.0/10



all in all, wake up! the Ghetto Starz are puttin out classics.


OVERALL GRADE: 9.0/10

^^^^^^^^^^^^

is that even an excuse? i think rob lo needs to hook them up with more bangers instead of mediocre beats in my opinion.

i think you misunderstood me anyway - i meant the quality of the beats, rhymes, etc. not the sound quality, mixing, mastering, etc.

^^it wasn't all Rob Lo production. not even half. and Dubb 20 is spittin pretty hard on this shit, theres a few weak features, but all the Starz lyrics were on points.

if i re-reviewed this shit, i would give it like a 8.0. some of the songs i overrated. but it still bangs.
