Adele - 21 album review
The promotion by UK indie label XL was very good. Think of this album as an overnight success because that's what happened. 21 has charted in more than 30 countries. This album has sold more than 28 million copies to date! This album is really great!! Every song is an autobiographical love ballad. I Found a Boy and Hiding My Heart are bonus tracks. (There are more bonus tracks on certain imports and many deluxe versions.) So you won't be disappointed!!
If you mix the genres of Classical, R&B/Soul, Blues, Jazz, World, Rock, Country, and Pop, the result is this beautiful album! This album filled 11 memorable songs such as Someone Like You, Rolling In The Deep, Rumor Has It, Set Fire to The Rain, Turning Tables, Take It All, and Love Song.
Every song on here has an authentic feel. You hardly ever hear music like this anymore. I really do think old school soul and new school funk will make a comeback! Think Lorde, Christiana Milan, Terri Walker, Chrisette Michelle, Tweet, Bobby V, Lee Fields, Timbaland, and many more! You can listen to this album without skipping any tracks!
This album is the best album of 2011 next to Lil Mo - iLoveMe, Various Artists - Les Miserables, and Black Mikey - Premeditated Music.

Happy Tooth & Dug - W.H.Y.G.O.D.W.H.Y. album review
Looking for some trip hop to listen with some soft rock? Well W.H.Y.G.O.D.W.H.Y. is a good album that will fit for you! The sound is very similar to Flight Of The Concords and Alpha Rev. The whole album is similar to an orchestral score. Dug's wordplay is very similar to Ali G"s humor. You can tell that Happy Tooth & Dug put their hearts and souls into the recording process of this short album. Happy Tooth & Dug are a product of Columbus, Ohio's spoken word poetry scene. The band has built a grassroots following in such a short time.
On Smoke, Steam, Dust; Doug is paralyzed and attempting pass it off as stoic. Dug does not have enough money for medicine. America is dead to Dug due to the decline of Western civilization. That's just the icing on the cake when Dug is at work. Motivational speakers never give the impression that success is a scam for suckers. The world will never be at peace because it is a dog eat dog world out there. Don't be another chicken shit cynic conformist to society as an adult. The end sums up that life is smoke and mirrors because it reflects what we have gotten ourselves caught up into. We've never been intact. Smoke, Steam, Dust will remind you of the start of a soft rock song. The drums and the percussion ensemble are on point. Dug's wordplay is very similar to Ali G"s humor.
Gray Area Blues will remind you of Detroit Blues. The heavy hitting guitar notes on the Gibson guitar plugged into an outdated Shamrock amp. Gray Area Blues is about being happy with yourself. Everyone has the blues on Gray Area Blues. The talking blues that is. We all have them and Dug thinks that's awesome. You are either building a future or destroying one. Everyone is expected to have a future. It's all sad and not nut. It's all been done in the past.
Exhaust Pipe Dreams is funny spoken word poetry track. Talk about being sick and tired while being uninspired by this conformist society. We're all the same victims that not know where we are headed in terms of direction. The symptoms are intrinsic. It gets deep and deeper while you can sing. To hell with friends when life is a game. All is fair in love and war. We all have cells made up of one mind so getting a second job will have cause complications. We all have gunk in our lungs due to lack of interest in environmental laws. The population has turned dumb over the years so far due to extreme liberalism. To sum it all up, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Go Home is about going to sleep in bed where you lay your head. The home is full of dull garbage from yesterday. There's no need to be scared nowhere. You are broken down and all alone for now. Until the next morning that is. I know that it hurts to be broken down and asleep from a long day or a long night. You can feel like your at home even if you are an extremely long distance from your actual home.
So if you like spoken word and poetry music, this album is right for you.
5/5*****!

L.A.M.B. - Violence Of The Lambz album review
One thing's for sure that L.A.M.B.’s album Violence Of The Lambz from 2015 will remind you of Necro, Twiztid, Esham, Napalm Death, and Slipknot mixed in together. The most featured artist is M.O. and Klientel. Sccit is on it too! L.A.M.B. is most definitely wicked. L.A.M.B. is the most wicked group coming out of Los Angeles.
L.A.M.B. - Violence Of The Lambz was the most wicked album from LA in 2015! Having X-Raided, Sccit, Klientel & M.O., are dope excellent choices for guest artists on this album. What could be more brehsive than that?
Evil (Makes My Dick Grow) with X-Raided is a sick ass track. Evil (Makes My Dick Grow) is one sick ass wicked horrorcore track coming from the Bay of Los Angeles. Having X-Raided as a guest artist was a dope excellent choice!
Satanic Mass will remind you of Acid Lambz by Esham. Satanic Mass is an ode to the occult and the Wiccan religion as a whole. Many references to the Wiccan religion and lifestyle are made not to mention acts of cannablism. Satanic Mass is another sick ass wicked horrorcore track coming from the Bay of Los Angeles.
5/5*****!

Hank - Life of a Criminal album review
For those who don't know, Hank is André Weems from Saginaw, Michigan. Hank grew up in Saginaw and Bloomfield Road is his stomping grounds. Bloomfield Road and Townhouse Road was the intersection Hank had lived at. This debut album was released on cassette only in 1993 on Laraza Records. Hank sounds very similar to Big Wy of Young Soldierz. The mood for this album is dark, ghetto and raw.
This album has that Saginaw blues and Saginaw rap sound. You would've thought an album like this would have been produced at U Be U Studios with that ghetto raw Sag Nasty rap sound.
This album was recorded and produced at Uptown Studios in Owosso, Michigan.
Life of a Criminal is about why Hank is a criminal and how he chose to live the life of a criminal. It shouldn't be happening but that's what's happening on this song. It deals with cycle of poverty that Hank's upbringing was made out to be. Life of a Criminal is very overlooked. The sample used is Average White Band - Love of Your Own. I love the garage beat boxing drum sample used in the background of the song. I think of this particular song has a ghetto rap song. It came out at right time. Right during the rise of gangster rap.
Hank makes a desperate plea for changes to happen at the very beginning of the song. Hank is a criminal, however he did not choose to live the life of a criminal. It was due to the downfall & turmoil of the economy of Michigan that led Hank to be a criminal. It is obvious that Hank is tried of shooting niggaz at point-blank range. You see Hank grew up on ghetto blues, bad news, and wearing sporting beater bast tennis shoes. Beat up too. Hank ran around wild as a child. Hank started acting buck wild at age 14 due to the lack of guidance in the right direction. It got to the point where Hank wanted to commit suicide.
So he started writing rhymes in his bedroom while listening to dark Scarface tunes. Living his life on the edge thinking about committing random homicide/murder acts and on the verge of possibly committing suicide. Hank does have thoughts giving niggaz two to the head and shooting them up point-blank range as he tells us earlier in the beginning of the song. Hank wishes he did not have to depend on living a criminal lifestyle to improve his living situation while in living in the vicious cycle of poverty. For the duration of the track, Hank comes to conclusions that it's not easy to break-through the cycle of poverty.
Bloomfield Blues has that Saginaw Blues and Detroit Blues sound to it and rap too. This song is mostly about bad news. Bloomfield Blues is about that dope ass ghetto reality. At the beginning, Hank describes how he is living like J. J. Evans. Hank is now gafflin'. Hank ain't afraid more.
His decision is bar none which his temper keeps ticking like a trigger to a timebomb about to explode. Hank cannot find anything in his lifetime to live for worth living for. Hank wonders about possibly committing suicide. In order to be eligible for SSI, Hank think about slitting his wrists to get SSI. So Hank has a death wish by living by the 40 oz.! Hank is representing Bloomfield Road. Hank wishes he did not have to depend on living a criminal lifestyle to improve his living situation while in living in the vicious cycle of poverty. For the duration of the track, Hank comes to conclusions that it's not easy to break-through the cycle of poverty.
Dreamin' is a very heartfelt song dedicated toward his pops. It's all based on lessons in life that Hank has learned from his father. The live and learn element is presented in this track.
Stick Up Kid is about stick up robberies. Planting jack moves in the ghetto. Stick Up Kid has early 90s R&B sound mixed with rock, gangsta rap, and Detroit blues to it along with that fast paced police chase music to after the drama that Hank has caused. Hank ain't 2Pac but he still got juice while giving niggaz two to the head and shooting them up point-blank range. This is basically a violent gangster rap track that all is very murderous but offers no solutions to the problem. The piano has that Leroy Dukes production sound to it similar to Dangerous Records. Hank ain't 2Pac but he still got the juice.
Life of a Criminal along with the radio and instrumental all should've been grouped together on side one of the cassette. All the other songs on side two. If it wasn't for people like Hank, there would be no big time celebrity rappers and actors like Eminem, 50 Cent, WC, Lil Wayne, and Vanilla Ice if it weren't for people like Hank. That's why.
This album called Life of a Criminal is the 2nd Best Album to come out of Saginaw in 1993 next to Mack Tha Jack'a album. The low pitched Tom drums productions are off the hook and in the house.
5/5*****!

Fury Figeroa - Top Of The Food Chain album review
Fury Figeroa - Top Of The Food Chain was released on XL ENT in 2015. Red Head Steve, Hollow Tip, Bleezo, and Ms. Versatyle all make appearances on this album. Fury Figeroa is the apex predator on this album so haters and Sucka MC's are all bottom feeders to him. Fury Figeroa is on top of the food chain for this album. To Fury Figeroa, record labels and the media are his prey. Just to set the records straight for all you playa hatas out there.
Fury Figeroa showcases his MC skills on the mic on Bars Of Fury. His kills it on Bars Of Fury and shows us how he is furious. This is the track that starts of the fury of this whole album. Fury Figeroa is on top of his game on Bars Of Fury. The track Bars Of Fury is 100 Bars for ya'll to listen to and run to.
The Bottom Line is a drug song/lyrical spoken word track. The Bottom Line is mainly about drugs. I Stand Alone and The Bottom Line are the best solo tracks along with Bars Of Fury. I Stand Alone another best Fury Figeroa solo. Money Everyday is an obvious track about having money and materialism. Materialism runs rampant here in the United States of America. So does money.
All in all, the whole album is brehsive and off the hook!

Cat-Dat - G's Live Forever album review
Cat-Dat is known by his name as Kenneth Mitchner. For those who don't know, Cat-Dat is a gangsta rap artist and also a producer from Flint, Michigan. Cat-Dat is from the North Side of Flint, Michigan. [The North Side people refer to is north of the Flint River just to set the record straight!]
Anyway… This album was released on Front Street Records out of Flint, Michigan, Pointblank Records, Funkstreet Records, and Marquis Entertainment, Inc. out of Flint, Michigan back in 1995. The album was distributed by B.E.G. (Bryant Records out of Detroit) INDI, CRW, Rainbo (out of Long Beach, California), and Select-O-Hits. The whole entire gangsta funkadelic album was produced by local Flint record producer Steve Pitts. So did Cat-Dat. The whole album is a crossover of gangsta rap and heavy rock mixed together. I have never seen a gangsta rap / heavy rock crossover in my time as a music critic except for 187 - Darkside and the self-titled Body Count album. But I'm sure there's more.
The introduction is very dark, mysterious, and foreboding with a horror movie sample of some kind being used in the background of the gusting wind that distorts the track. You can hear a pack of crows at very end of the introduction that appear to be angry. The introduction is about 42 second long.
The heavy rock guitar playing a single note is prevalent in Fuck That Bastard. Cat-Dat is an OG of Flint. Young niggaz and cats have been pulling hoe shit on a daily basis coming against young Cat-Dat, but Cat-Dat keeps his vision clearly otherwise he would end up paranoid. Niggaz like Cat-Dat always roll in packs in case someone wants to start shit. Niggaz be set trippin' in Flint.
Shots are blasting in Flint making the city of Flint the #1 murder capital of the United States at that time and still is. Cat-Dat has tattoos while bumping old school hip-hop Eric B. & Rakim - Microphone Fiend. So you know he's real and doesn't fuck around. So get up off his dick and let him swang. Cat-Dat is smoking blunts back to back with the homies while shooting craps in a dice game thus engaging in illegal street gambling. Everyone is getting tipsy from the chemicals effects from the St. Ides. Cat-Dat is down with the old school.
The eerie bells really have an aftereffect on Steady Mourning. Quite dark and foreboding. Cat-Dat is under pressing and his family is heart-broken because Cat-Dat is a hustler. Cat-Dat is struggling of course. The streets of Flint gave Cat-Dat game. Tears of retaliation from young niggaz are common in this situation. Many have fallen on this dangerous path we call life while making decisions.
Every time Cat-Dat thinks about death and mourning tears come to his eyes. However a soldier must be ready to die. Now people pack guns and don't fist fights. It's survival to the fittest. Play your cards right. Cat-Dat's younger brother fronted him some dope. Niggaz is out to get Cat-Dat. The Mob Life is family to Cat-Dat. The outsiders are enemies in the gangster lifestyle and mob lifestyle. Steady Mourning is about morning the death of loved ones whom have passed away for whatever the reason. Akilah is the lead on the background vocals.
Steve Pitts production style is excellent on Last Soldier Serving. The bass and drums are on point. The beats are in time with the timbre. This track is based on a true story about Cat-Dat.
The odds are against Cat-Dat on the Last Soldier Serving track. The heat is on and war is boiling from the Federal Indictment list. An open court case is hard to come against. The case is long and lengthy with a possibility of parole in 20 years. The justice system is heartless. Justice is blind in the United States court systems. Your fate has been dealt. You’re thinking street life, the fast life. Survival of your past life. You figure out that the fast life of street life is your only means of survival.
You’re Audi 5000 with gangster tips from the OGs. It’s 1995 and the dope game still exists. A misdemeanor of a 187 has gotten you trapped in the court system. Live until you die in the motto up on the streets. Live until you die in the motto on the Flint streets.
[Cat-Dat’s name came up on a Federal Indictment list for a crime committed by a gang of people in Flint in the 1990s. Cat-Dat had gotten trapped in the court system due to a misdemeanor. An open court case is hard to come against.]
Rolling Threw Your Hood is some funky gangsta ass shit with Steve Pitts signature production of that Flinttown Funk.
The track is dedicated to all the OG's on the North Side of Flint. Cat-Dat was born a G in 1972. Cat-Dat's father fell victim to living the criminal lifestyle of a gangster. As a G, Cat-Dat is struggling hard to play his cards right. Cat-Dat got engaged in the criminal lifestyle as his start as a narcotics distributor in 1986. Cat-Dat looks up to the old school OGs while living a life of crime. (Original Gangsters are known as Original Gangstas.). Cat-Dat sold cocaine in the hood which is a war zone. His pager is blowing up. BG's are blowing up the hood. (Baby Gangsters are known as Baby Gangstas.). Cat-Dat is down with niggas and is ballin' big. When you're rolling threw your hood keep your eyes on the prize. All his niggas are down for the struggle. Gangsters are rolling deep.
Now Cat-Dat is at the block party with his niggas. At the block party, everyone is drinking Colt 45s and getting a blaze of weed. Bumping that G's Live Forever shit loud! Getting ends and breaking niggaz. Things are looking up. Cat-Dat is a baller. Do you all feel me? Cat-Dat has his game on tight strictly for the hustle.
Cat-Dat is dodging all the one-time's and jetting through the ways of life. Jetting through the gangways that is. The streets is where you can find Cat-Dat packing gats (guns) and packing heat. The drama is getting one. Lunatics are rolling deep killing people.
Today We Bury The Home is a sad sorrow mourning track over the death of a homie. Today We Bury The Home is very similar to Steady Mourning. Both songs have the death element and darkened dark theme. The eerie electronic synths and synth bells really have an aftereffect on this track as they do on Rolling Threw Your Hood, Still In The Game, and Steady Mourning.
G's Live Forever is a comparison to the Babe Ruth quote of: Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Legends live forever. Cat-Dat had felt and was well receptive to Babe Ruth's quote. In other words, Cat-Dat could relate to Babe Ruth's quote. Also Cat-Dat had took the 'Legends live forever." quote and had turned into G's Live Forever. That's why Cat-Dat chose G's Live Forever at the title for his debut album.
The low organ notes sound very similar to male chorus from church Do You Feel Me. The world is slowly closing in on the gangsta lifestyle. It's all good in the hood while understanding by being true to this thug life. Sniper is on premeditation for a 187. Not to mention a preemption. Cat-Dat is fighting for survival in this game until it kills him. Do You Feel Me is very mysterious quirky track.
The Game Is The Reason For Livin' is a self-explanatory track explaining about why leading into the life of crime is the way live. The bass notes in the beginning is heavy hitting. The Game Is The Reason For Livin' samples Prince - If I Was Your Girlfriend. This track however is more lighthearted than the last one. It has a more lighthearted theme that is present.
Cat-Dat is still a heartless motherfucker but his shadow is watching over him. Show some luv. Cat-Dat is very loyal to the game. Cat-Dat's mother raised him as a G. His mind is on his money. He got the biggest strap. We do what we do.
Since Eighty-Six has a more lighthearted feel than the last track. This one went out to all the niggas that was down with Cat-Dat from the jump. Since Eighty-Six is about how Cat-Dat and his niggas used to chill.
1986 is when Cat-Dat got engaged in the criminal lifestyle as his start as a narcotics distributor in 1986. Cat-Dat was block hustlin' and big ballin' in the 80s and 90s. Young nigga getting his ends. Drama is on the down low. People are starting feuds by commenting shootings and murders while glamorizing the thug life Tupac had idolized. Cat-Dat has been trying to stack a grip since 1986.
Cat-Dat is stepping back with the ballers. The funk jumping up with the fast life. Obstacles are common when living the gangster lifestyle. Street hustling is about playing your cards right. It gets shady with a lot of shit. Everyone still survives that life somehow at the end of the track.
Still In The Game is the last track on this dope ass gangsta rap album! The eerie electronic synths and synth bells really have an aftereffect on this track! Cat-Dat is creeping up on a hater from behind with his 9 millimeter in a plot to murder him. Time will tell if he lives or dies.
Cat-Dat learned game from the old school. Cat-Dat is representing the city of Flint, Michigan on this track. Cat-Dat glamorizes the 'thug life' Tupac does in his tracks. He is still alive in the game. Still packing guns. Cat-Dat plans out his next murder. The plot is on his assailants head and now he is dead. Cat-Dat lives life on the down low.
G's Live Forever was a perfectly good album title for this album.
G's Live Forever is a comparison to the Babe Ruth quote of: Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Legends live forever. Cat-Dat had felt and was well receptive to Babe Ruth's quote. In other words, Cat-Dat could relate to Babe Ruth's quote. Also Cat-Dat had took the 'Legends live forever." quote and had turned into G's Live Forever. That's why Cat-Dat chose G's Live Forever at the title for his debut album.
G's Live Forever was largely ignored due to too many gangsta rap artists trying to break their way in the music business at the time during the mid 1990s. If Cat-Dat had released G's Live Forever around the time The Dayton Family, Top Authority, Tupac, Conscience Daughters, NBOH, or Dr. Dre came out in 1992, then Cat-Dat would not have been overlooked by corporate executives, music critics, and the news media. It's too bad that Cat-Dat unfortunately never came out with a follow-up album for a second album. The re-release was in stores in 2000.
5/5*****!!

Daddy Madd - Gang Related Activity album review
The songs are Criminal Society and Livin' To Die Young. There are only 2 songs on this cassette. This product was mixed at Apple Pie Recording Studio and mastered at U Be U Studios. Charles "Pleasure" Sparks aka Pleasure Sparks engineered this dope ass single! Daddy Madd is a rapper from Saginaw, Michigan. Daddy Madd was originally from Detroit but he now lives in Saginaw, Michigan. [Daddy Madd is now known as Mason Napalm Wade. Gang Related Activity is about the illegal lifestyle that Daddy Madd lead.]
Criminal Society is about the illegal lifestyle that Daddy Madd lead. Criminal Society samples Zapp - More Bounce To The Ounce and BDP - Criminal Minded. I love the dopeness of the production by Charles "Pleasure" Sparks aka Pleasure Sparks!
[For those who didn't know, Daddy Madd just gotten released from jail after doing time there for some months. He was pissed off because he had to see the damn judge. We all know very well that Daddy Madd is packing some heat (guns). Daddy Madd was originally from Detroit but now lives in Saginaw, Michigan.]
Bucking niggaz down with his gat is what Daddy Madd does because he's a criminal. He's nothing but a gangsta.Daddy Madd needs a kilo because he's tired of being broke G. You get no props while being broke in the cycle of poverty in Saginaw while living there. Freaky cars with the Daytons and the Ragtops. All that good shit! Everybody got a gun. Taking niggaz out and fucking up a whole crew is what Daddy Madd does best since he WAS down with YBI (Young Boys Incorporated) at one time. The legal authorities of Saginaw County don't agree with Daddy Madd's wardrobe. There isn't any modernized supreme incarceration facility that can stop a warzone.
Daddy Madd is just like John Gotti using houses as a dopespot. He doesn't give a fuck because the hood does not faze him. When Daddy Madd works in Flint, he with niggaz that are going crazy. He's not having it, however. Sticking fools up for gold is what he did when he was in Flint. The drug searching dogs from the police k-9 unit don't worry Daddy Madd. He does anything to prevent himself from catching charges that will surely stick to his criminal record in the event of a drug case or weapons raid. Daddy Madd and YBI are now going to sell dope in the projects. Times are rough in Saginaw.
[He talks about FBI raids and FBI tactics which are used in this track right here. He hopes 5-0 in Saginaw don't try to raid his dopehouse. Daddy Maddy has another shipment of 'angel flake' stacked to the ceiling. (Angel flake is another term for cocaine.)]
Daddy Madd was originally from Detroit, Michigan but now lives in Saginaw, Michigan. Flint, Michigan is where Daddy Madd does his dirt (drug deals and other illegal activities). Slanging cocaine and distribution of (illegal) controlled substances on Pierson Road & Clio Road is what Daddy Madd whenever he's in Flint with Young Boys Incorporated. Pierson Road & Clio Road is an intersection on the Westside of Flint, Michigan. (This particular intersection is located in the Pierson Hood. The Pierson Hood goes from the Westside of Flint to the Eastside of Flint.)
Now Daddy Madd needs a blunt so he smokes a Billy Blunt. Now Daddy Madd tells us he's got a sawed off shotgun hidden in his trench-coat. He don't need any static from punk ass niggaz trying to jack him.
At this point, Daddy Madd sees his cousin who's in the R-N-R Posse (RNR?). YBI too. Also at this point, Daddy Madd introduces to us some members of RNR Posse and YBI. Ice Cold got the AK's and the uzis. His brother Regal will do an act of auto-theft any day. His brother Ronald don't give a fuck because he's crazy. Ronald is blowing up niggaz like Hurricane Andrew but this ain't Florida so Daddy Madd, Ronald, RNR Posse, and YBI might try and kill you. G Man got the cherry bombs in the cut. A sack of blunts worth $60 dollars was smoked by YBI. DJ Zeek brought YBI some pussy and they stroked it. You call Daddy Madd crazy but you ain't seen shit yet! Daddy Madd is a lunatic in a criminal society. He thinks society is filled with nothing but criminals.
Some anonymous person gave John Law a tip to raid Daddy Madd's dopehouse because police have Daddy Madd on profile. The FBI caught Daddy Madd. They arrest him for just being in a dopehouse drug environment setting. Fuck them! Daddy Madd does not even have 1 gram of any substance of drug paraphernalia. Daddy Madd went to court like he had a grudge against them. He was pissed off because he had to see the damn judge. Yeah he said it! Judge DiFrancisco(?) ain't shit! Daddy Madd is not afraid of politicians and skank hoes. Gang Related ain't a title for just him. He's Daddy Madd and it's a criminal society.
Livin' To Die Young is the successor track to Criminal Society. Livin' To Die Young very similar to Criminal Society. It's the last track to this short single. Livin' To Die Young is about livin' to die and dyin' to live. Both of the tracks on this cassette single have that classic gangsta rap element added to them.
As for the album cover artwork, Daddy Madd had just gotten released from jail after doing time there for some months. He's the one on the grayscale front cover wearing the shoes with no socks. The pager he is holding had belonged to Charles Pleasure Sparks.
Niggaz and eses went crazy when this album reached Texas in the 90s! It was bananas! It's a trip down here in the South.
5/5*****!

Lil Zane - None Tonight Plus album review
None Tonight Plus is an enhanced CD single that acts as an album sampler for the 2000 album Young World:The Future by Lil Zane. There are 4 additional album tracks with there being 9 tracks total. There's a bonus interview not to mention the personal conversations. Priority Records and Worldwide Entertainment had used a CD single as an album sampler for the first time. Most of the tracks are clean because Lil Zane and Priority were trying to gain a younger audience for the record sales and management.
You Must Really Love Me reminds me of It's All About The Money by G Len and Let's Stay Together by Al Green. You Must Really Love Me is about a girl who must really love Lil Zane. It's not about Lil Zane having a load of money or sports. It's about being down with a chick. Think Love & Basketball where the chick is down with the dude the whole time. Lil Zane tackles problems of our world on Ways Of The World such as violence, drugs, political corruption, poverty, greed over capitalism, and living in a war zone. These are unfortunately ways of the world.
On None Tonight, Lil Zane is trying to have some fun tonight with a chick up in the club but the chick won't give Lil Zane any play or any nookie. She probably won't give Lil Zane any head either. Lil Zane proves to why Lil Zane is the nigga she needs go home and bone with in order to be eligible to have sex with Lil Zane. You see Lil Zane is obviously looking for someone to sleep with. The Mike Cee Remix samples Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa. The Puffy remix is so crunk! The Mike Cee Remix is so very East Pointe and College Park. Good shit!
What Must I Do is very similar to a Keith Sweat song. Lil Zane's a player and he's not begging. He just wants attention. He craves attention. This joint is dedicated to that one girl that every player wants. Those other cats are not needed in her life. Lil Zane needs a lady in his life and she is the right one for him. Lil Zane will want to commence sexual intercourse and doesn't give a fuck whether it's dark or not. It's already hot out and shirt, of course, comes off. Keith Sweat and 112 should have been on this particular song right here.
The main message for this single/album sampler and Young World:The Future is that it's cool to be young. That's Lil Zane's message to the kids. Be fly, cool, and stay in school. That's how Priority Records promoted and packed this CD single in Platinum record sales for prosperity and positivity for a good learning experience despite Lil Zane being a pop rap sex symbol along with the group 112.
5/5*****!!
