this CD is from the Richmond artists Lil Ric and Laroo.. both who are veterans in this rap shit. hit up www.westcoastaftershock.com to peep a recent interview with Laroo and look back a couple pages and you will see that i reviewd Lil Ric's "Thug Nut".. sorry but i odnt have the booklet with me, my friend is letting me borrow this shit cuz i was kinda unsure wether on not i shoudl buy it.
1. Intro
-this is just a lil beat to kick shit off.. its a weird beat but it sounds tight.. im not gonna rate it since its only about 30 secs long
2. Cock, Aim, Shoot
-this beat is pretty sick, got that gangsta feel to it. tight strings on it and shit. Ric spits first, a pretty clean verse. no different style then he came on Thug Nut.. just ya regular Ric. Chorus is tight on this, ric does it. Laroo comes next, this was my first time hearing him and hes dope as well. this is a clean track to start out with.
7.5/10
3. La-Di-Da-Da ft. Candace
-This beat isn't the shit.. its got a weird like asian string to it.. and then some bells that dont sound good together. Laroo comes first. There isn't much to the chorus at all. Got bored with this shit.. pressed skip.
4.0/10
4. Money Motivated
-This beat is damn clean.. it has some piano and a zapp and rodger sounding thing. Lil Ric spits first "see these killas aint playin when sprayin rapidly/ its on til the end if you decide to clap at me" Laroo on the chorus. Laroo spits next, im feelin his voice and delivery but he seems a lil 1 demensional lyrically. Tight track tho.
7.0/10
5. Never Know About You ft. Ephriam Galloway
-I'm lovin this shit. Beat is kinda chill'd.. kick back. There is a little singing in the beggining. Lil Ric spits the first verse.. this shit is aobut hoes and its a tight track. I'm lovin Lil Ric's delivery on this shit. Chorus is sung, then Laroo spit. Coo song.
7.0/10
6. Hard Heads/ Knuckle Heads
-This beat has that mob feel to it. Cool beat. Laroo spit first.. not that tight of a verse. They go back and forth on the chorus. Lil Ric comes next "and when you doin that faulty shit, you know the game, you get hit/ have the next niggas bitch suckin dick at the 6" pretty tight.
6.5/10
7. Gimme Yo Sak ft. Hustalah, Ridah, Big Lurch
-damn, this shit is sick. Hustalah spit's first and he comes clean as usual. "you used to smoke big bomb/ now you snort china white" Big Lurch is on the chorus, i wish he woulda spit but he just did the chorus. Laroo is next. Lil Ric is after him. "i live my life like the villains im killin for dirty money/ and you niggas that think its funny get hit/ wit the dummy" Ridah comes real clean on this shit, real clean. "i was told at the tender age of 9 years old, he aint dead he just restin but his eyes was closed, he aint movin, i tried to wake him up it didnt work, now im confused why they cryin in the front pews of the church." my fav. track on this album.
8.5/10
8. Clock Tick
-this beat is pretty cool. got that saucy feel to it.. Ric is first.. "yea im quick to say fuck it all fuck the world as i fall" cool track, not the best tho.
6.5/10
9. Different Reality
-this beat is kinda funky, it has that asian string shit in it. Laroo is first, but they go back and forth. I'm feelin Ric on this shit. Cool track.. one of the best ones.
8.0/10
10. 4 Tha Big Faces ft. Ap9, Fed-Ex, Mr Brainey
-sick ass beat, only thing im not feelin is that weird distorted sound on the end of each count or whatever. AP9 spir first, recycled shit tho. They spit that back and forth shit on here too. Laroo is next, then Fed Ex who spits some recycled shit too. AP9 spits again and its tight, new shit im pretty sure. Fed Ex spits another couple bars that are clean. cool track.
8.0/10
11. Crazy Flow ft. Grope, Mr. Brainey
-im pretty sure this is recycled off of Thug Nut.. cuz it sounds familiar. maybe im wrong. beat is wack tho.. Ric comes cool.. but not feelin this track.
3.5/10
12. The Way The Game Goes
-this is a cool lil beat. has some piano and shit in it. Ric comes first and its a tight ass verse. "runnin from the law/ wit candy in my jaw" cool track.
7.5/10
13. Let Em Know ft. Pizzo, Reefa
-this beat is slow.. somethin you can puff to. first fool spittin i think Laroo sodns kinda off beat and im not feeling it. The chorus is pretty chill. Ric is dope on this shit. There is also a fool who sounds kinda like Twista. This track is pretty tight.
7.5/10
14. Play It Right ft. Silk-E
-this beat is ok. its kinda boring. Ric comes first, its just his normal shit, but he sounds cool. Silk-E spits pretty fuckin tight on this, she shits on em both. with a better beat, this track would be tight.
6.0/10
15. Thug World ft. Otis, Suge
-dont like this beat. dont like this song.
3.0/10
16. All I Know ft. Baldhead Rick, Cougnut, S.B
-this is a knocker fa sho. Beat is clean as fuck and all verses are on point. Ric is first. "started off wit my middle finger up/ just to get your attention" Cougnut is next. wish this man was still alive, i love his raps. "we bring it to you front porch nigga fuck rappin" Baldhead is next and he comes sick. Laroo and S.B arent anytihn special.
8.0/10
17. Outro
-this is a 2 minute beat. same shit as the intro.
OVERALL GRADE: 6.5/10
this shit was an alrite CD.. it has some songs that are garbage, a lot that are average, and 3 that knock. i'd say buy it used..
