Princess Loko - Game Recognize Game is one of the more sought after Memphis rap albums which is difficult to obtain or even find anywhere. The obscurity of this album is what makes the value of this album so challenging to listen to. Her solo album "Game Recognize Game" is rare as is. She is so fucking dope! That woman could rap her ass off like nobody’s business. Her verses bumped hard as hell. Her, Lady J, and La Chat are the bestt female rappers out of Memphis, Tennessee. The album has that dark Memphis trap sound. Tommy Wright III produced her entire album. The beats Tommy used were way ahead of timeTommy orchestrated the dark nihilistic sound for her album.
Game Recognize Game was recorded around 2000. The recording process took an extensive period of time which lasted over 3 years. Tommy would sneak over to Loko’s house with a four track recorder while her mother was out. They would record verses in her bedroom. She was just 15 when these songs were recorded.
The album was later released in 2001 on cassette only and on CD eventually. There are more cassette pressings of this album available than on CD. Game Recognize Game was only available on physical copy. Promotion was done by posting using flyers and posters of her solo album all over Memphis and Mississippi. Promotion through word of mouth is how her album got around Memphis black in the early part of the 21st century. This album is what led her to have a die hard cult following and dedicated fanbase in not just Memphis but across the world.
Gangsta Bitch is one of her most savage songs ever. Loko effortlessly switches between choral chanting and versatile verses on Gangsta Bitch. The crowd cheers to the stadium-sized beat that crumbles beneath her. She doesn’t even really start ‘rapping’ in the non-repetitive sense until close to the 2:00 minute mark. Her technique is untouchable.
Princess Loko will blow away your brain with this .45 in her panty line. Princess Loko’s on a mission to pull a scheme up on a trick. Bullets in her clip. She steps to the door with her weapon. Then she starts to commence the killing.
Now “Blow away your brains with this 45 in my pantyline” is the hardest line for any female to say. What other female rapper has said that? This is probably the hardest verse she ever did rap. It’s so badass. This is an example of 90s gangsta rap at its best.
[Hook]
Princess Loko will blow away your brain with this .45 in my panty line
Princess Loko's on a mission to pull a scheme up on a trick
Blow away your brain with this four five in my panty line
Keep the chrome in my coat
Bullets in my clip hoe
Got the weapon then I’m stepping
At the door to commence the killing bitch
Blow away your brain with this four five in my panty line
Princess Loko’s on a mission to pull a scheme up on a trick
Keep the chrome in my coat
Bullets in my clip hoe
Blow away your brain with this four five in my panty line
She is showing off with this rap style of hers. Check out this funky flow. She is coming real trill as she has plans to kill. That is what the lyrics “Quick ‘cause I’m sleep with a bitch on my hit list/Chill as I’m coming trill feel this real been a peel/Steel in your ass as I kill with a silent bill” mean.
She forgot you bitches hoeing on that corner blowing. Are you hoes shy? Play for hammer head and you’ll get lead to your death bed. Princess Loko will be forever known as a no good player heart breaker and a nigga taker. How are you gonna splurge when you don’t know what this pimp is about? Back to the streets going of like a nice Swish. But if you tricks miss you´re fucking with a real gangsta bitch.
Watch out ladies! Princess Loko’s on your man. She planing to do a drive-by and a gank move. Princess Loko’s on a mission to pull a scheme up on a trick. Fuck the 5-0. Society don´t give a fuck about her. So she packs a gun. Loko is quick to pull the trigger than any average nigga.
Pimpin livin with this shit and dodging all you sorry bitches. Loko lays low with her nigga Lil Tino. She is all about that cash. Making cheese and laying low. She has got no time for none of you hoes. Come and get your wig split. You don´t want none of this.
The song Street Shit is self-explanatory. It’s all about the street shit. Her verses bump hard as hell here. Nothing else more needs to be said.
It´s a shame how you bitch ass cowards wanna splurge false accusations at Princess Loko. All this weak ass shit about how Princess Loko stopped breathing. These macing ass hoes take her style but dig her motherfucking pimpin. It ain’t about the weak shit. It’s all about the street shit. None of you want to fuck with Princess Loko. Princess Loko plans to take Memphis by storm with these lyrics of hers. Check out this funky flow. “Princess Loko coming like the wind on your funky ass/Taking Memphis by a storm”
Princess Loko is going to pop a gat through your skull. Leave your blood swapped in your face. You’ll be face down in a bodybag as paramedics drag you away. Loko leaves no trace. That is what the lyrics “Face a body bag as they and I leave no trace” are a reference to.
Back again on these bitches ‘cause Loko just got it like that. She has a gat in her hand. She has come with a master plan that she is finna lay down. Her plan is to lay her gat on his back like that. As they creep up, you know it’s on. It’s all about the street shit. She is smart of the fucking streets.
The high acousticness of I’m A G really stands out. You can tell there is a sense of liveness despite the song being a studio recording. The song is played in D Major through a majority of the time.
Still Pimpin is her most well known song around the world to date. Her technique is untouchable. Her flow is all over the place. Still Pimpin is definitely a Memphis classic. Still Pimpin is the most well known Memphis rap song around the world.
I rate this album 5/5*****!
