[.ca] Get It How U Live!



WHAT AN ALBUM!:
THESE GUYS ARE NOT LYRACISTS, BUT THEIR FLOWS ARE SPECTACULAR. THEIR CONCEPTS ARE ORIGINAL, AND MANNIE FRESH AND BEOWULF ARE DOING THEIR THING ON THESE TRACKS.


Underground:
This is one of the HOT BOYS first CD, it is underground and not sold in many large retailing stores, it has all 4 HOT BOYS rapping off of each other, they make the beat sound better, the only reason I gave it a 3 is because that the production is underground which causes the sound quality 2 be bad in certain songs, and some times the records skips. Otherwise, it has the best overall.


Hot boys are definately on fire:
This is my favorite hot boys album by far because the beats are amazing and the lyrics are well thought out and the overall atmosphere of the album is great. I think the hot boys will have a hard time topping this album and I hope they keep making music like this.


Hot Boys are the greatest:
A lot people don't realize how good the Hot Boys really are because they have only heard radio singles. If you own any cash money CD, which I own a lot of, you realize that they talk about more than bling-bling and hoes. The Hot Boys in their prime were like a N.W.A for the south. Hardcore gangsta rap. They really put it down back then. I espescially like tracks 14 and 2 on this CD.


A Cash Money Classic Fa sho!:
I'm a huge Cash Money fan. I've been down with them since jump. Not only that, but I'm one of the few people who realize that Cash Money talks about more things then just money, cars, and women. I have every single Cash Money CD that has ever come out and 99% of the songs are about head bussin. So I don't know why people say that about Cash Money. They must only listen to the radio joints instead of the underground stuff they put out. Now on to this CD. First of all I want to point out that this CD is a classic. Mannie Fresh's production is top notch on this CD. B.G. only appears on 8 tracks because he was in rehab during this time for drug use. But the CD still did well even though he wasn't included. Here's what I thought of each song. 1: Intro: This is just the Big Tymers talking. They drop some rhymes but as usual, they don't have much to say. 2: We on Fire: I love the beat Mannie has concocted. However, I'm not feeling Turk and Juvenile on the hook, but its still a good song. BG is not included on this song, and that really pisses me off, b/c he's not only my fav. cmm, but also one of my favorite rappers. 9/10 3: 50 Shots: This song is off the hook. This is an instant classic. We have Mannie Fresh on the Chorus here, and Mannie drops a hard beat I must say. As for who rips the best verse, its a tossup between Juve and Turk. 9/10 4: On Tha Porch: Skip. 5: Block Burner: (Lil Wayne) Aw man, this track is hot. Lil Wayne was spittin str8 fiya here. Tha beat is a lil creepy, but its still ill. 9/10 6: Neighborhood Superstar: The beat is off the hook on this CD. Mannie Fresh creates a nice smooth beat. Baby, Fresh, Juve and Weezy all rip nice verses, but I gotta give the award to Fresh for the best verse. 10/10 7: Take it Off Your Shoulder: Aw man, this is not only one of the best songs off the album, but one of the best songs Juve will ever do in his entire life. Excellent beat buy M. Fresh. 10/10 8: Dirty World: Finally, my dawg BG is back on track with us. Thank God man. Nice beat by Fresh. Real smooth. I agree with alot of what the boys said. Especially what Juve said, "President Clinton don't give a _ what how a ni99a feel. Fa sho, tell em Juve. 10/10 9: I'm a Hot Boy (BG): Aw man, here we go. My Dawg BG rips it down. Mannie creates a nice funky beat, and BG just rips it. We got Juve on da hook. My dawg BGEEZY off da heezy fa sheezy. Its a shame he had to leave Cash Money. But his "Living Legend" CD is off the hook, so thats ok. 10/10 10: Get it How U Live: Here's another hot track. This is the title track and it delivers a good message. Make something happen, ya feel me. Watch what you do in life. You'll catch on to the message when you listen to it. 10/10 11: Skit. But this is pretty funny, so I'll give em props. 12: I'm Com'n: My dawg BGEEZy fa sheezy sets it off and then Lil Wayne gets his chance to rip it. I think Geezy and Bun ripped the best verses. Bun B is one of the best rappers in da game. No doubt about that. His flow is just off the chain. I like the horns on this song. The guitar was ill too. Once again Mannie Fresh did his thang. BG, Wayne and Bun rip the best verses if u ask me. 10/10. 13: Infared Dot: (Turk) This song is so ill. I don't believe Cash Money only put out one solo CD from Lil Turk. Its a shame how he got played like that, b/c da boy could flow back in da day. We got Juve on da hook, and Mannie Fresh delivers another hot beat. My favorite line is: In that 3, we got tools that'll bruise when we spit/ playin wit 50 so ain't no way we gonna miss/ 10/10. I gotta give Turk props on his punchlines too. He worked in alot of good punchlines in this song. 14: Blood Thicker: One of the best songs on the whole entire CD. My dawg BG isn't featured but thats iight. We got my girl Magnolia Shorty holdin it down fa rizeal and she delivers a nice verse. Fresh is killin dis CD with his production. Its a tossup between who rips the best verse. Everyone rips a good verse except for that ugly fool Baby who cheated my dawg BGezzy out of his money. Baby needs to stop rapping. He's wack. And the birdman thang ain't happening either. 10/10 15: Spit 'N Game: This is off Juve's Solja Rags, but its still a tight song. BG rips this one up period. Bullet Proof is on this track as well. For those of u that don't know who Bullet Proof is, he was once a member of the Hot Boys, but he got dropped. He sounds alot like Turk, but he's alot quicker on da mic. Overall analysis: This CD is a classic and is a must for any true Cash Money fan. And when I say the word "True", I mean somebody who knows what Cash Money is talking about, instead of thinking all they talk about it Women, fast cars and money. They're more than that. Well, at least back in the day they were. But hey, I'm still down with Cash Money no matter what. Thats fa real too. Overall grade: 20/20. Holla.
