Review #1,707: NHC "Respect The Game (Boot Life)"

Reviewed on 4.24.2017 (Review #1,707)


Gettin’ through tha drama, lemme try and stay focused with reviewz today… I’m only doin’ one old Louisiana CD review and tha rest will be newer shit I got from my Louisiana trip… Here goes my review for Shreveport rappers NHC, which stands for Neighborhood Conglomerate, Respect The Game (Boot Life), released in 1998 on So Sic Entertainment! Start Time: 7:00 AM | End Time: 8:22 AM


Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> “ iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> “ iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

>>> Definitely feelin’ this beat, from tha swamps! Love tha dark, eerie vibe of tha beat, fa tha undaground! My Rating: N/A


02. “The Tightest”
>>> Definitely feelin’ this production, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s dope; almost sounds like a young Lil’ Wayne, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty dope wit how this flows; good shit! Time fa tha 2nd verse, here, keepin’ it “G” at all times! And, we got tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ like you keepin’ it goin’, here… Not too bad of a verse; I liked tha 1st one best, tha 2nd one next & then, tha 3rd one… My Rating: 4.2


03. “Talking Shit”
>>> Sounds like a smooth lil’ southern beat, here, ta rap on… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from y’all and it’s chill wit this voice; good shit… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty nice ta hear, too… Not sure where I’m catchin’ tha hook but tha hook’s pretty nice when it flows through… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it’s pretty nice, too… Nothin’ much ta say about this decent track, here… Wow, this a long one, here… Even a 4th verse, as this continues… “Bitch, I shoulda made you bounce like a bad check;” damn! My Rating: 3.8


04. “Wide Open”
>>> Sounds like a funky jam with a catchy hook, includin’ this pitched voice… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds like consistent, but decent-soundin’ rhymes, here… Keepin’ it movin’ with tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ decent wit how y’all continuin’ ta rap this shit… My Rating: 3.7

My Rating: 3.9


06. “Parking Lot Pimpin’”
>>> Sounds like these laidback vibes are continuin’, in a West Coast, somewhat-upbeat way… Tha hook pretty nice fa tha south, here; just kick back and enjoy… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s good wit these rhymes… Tha hook sounds pretty nice ta enjoy, too; let’s keep it movin’… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s decent, too; feelin’ these rhymes, too… And, tha 3rd verse iz here, soundin’ decent, too; diggin’ tha slightly-different voices throughout tha track… My Rating: 3.8


07. “One Mo Time”
>>> Sounds like a better-soundin’ laidback vibe, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and tha rhymes are seductive, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds nice ta hear… Really laidback wit tha sound and content, here… Tha 2nd verse keeps this nice vibe goin’, here; nothin’ much ta say… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and I still feel tha same about this track… A long outro, here… Okay, I get it… “One mo time” wit dat “ass!” My Rating: 3.8


08. “Lifeguard”
>>> Funny how tha first few seconds of this, I thought this was a new, hyped-up, Baton Rouge-soundin’ track! Nice lil’ hook about this “lifeguard” savin’ “tha life, mane!” Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds nice ta hear… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice, too… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha “candy-coated” 3rd verse, here, soundin’ nice, too… My Rating: 3.9

10. “N To Da Hood”
>>> Decent beat; hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds nice ta hear wit this slightly-eerie vibe… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds nice, too; good shit wit these “chickenhead hoes!” Listenin’ to tha 2nd verse and it sounds decent, too… Lol, “B-A-L-L-I-N-G,” before tha “N-apostrophe!” Tha 3rd verse sounds pretty consistent wit these rhymes! It seems like tha 3rd verses on this CD are tha most-consistent? My Rating: 3.9
