Music reviews of Rbg: Revolutionary But Gangsta

Music Review: The Walkthrough
Rating: 4 Stars

2. Walk Like A Warrior (feat. Krayzie Bone) - This song is about being a modern day warrior and how to survive in the ghetto. The beat is dope, and Krayzie Bone brings that classic Bone Thugs vibe to the track. 5/5

3. I Have A Dream, Too - This song is about seeking revenge for all the people the police have killed in cold blood. Although I don't agree with shooting cops this is a good song with a good beat and some slick rhymes "Look at em run, too scared to pull they guns, outta shape from them coffees and them cinnimon buns". 4/5

4. D.O.W.N. - An ode to being down, I mean really being down no questions asked, if you're in you're in all the way "We gotta have a lotta discipline to win, and it comes from within not somethin you pretend homie". The beat is sick, and it has a really catchy hook. 4/5

5. Hell Yeah (Pimp the System) - The first of many times you'll hear this song on this album. This is a song about getting paid in some unordinary ways. Wheather it be from credit card scams or sticking up the pizza delivery boy these guys need to pay the rent "You know what this is, this is a stick-up gimmie the doe from ya pick-ups, you ran into the wrong n****". the beat is dope and the rhymes are really descriptive. 5/5

6. W-4 - A song about working your tail off and not having anything to show for it. They tell you about what they've been through to try to get a job, and how the government takes most of the money back anyway "Make a n**** wanna wild out, run up in the white house with the gage out, click-clack, gimmie my s*** back". This is probobly the most emotional song on the album. 5/5

7. Radio Freq - This song is about how the radio only plays played-out bling-bling garbage. This is one of the few songs I actually agree with, but the beat isn't that great, and the hook is kinda annoying. 3/5

8. F***ed Up - After a long night of drinking you feel like crap the next morning. That's what this song is about, how they stuggle with wanting to give up the alcohol, but it keeps callin their names "They say alcoholism is in my DNA, cause my pops like ta get f***ed up the same way". The beat is pretty nice, it's a good song. 4/5

9. 50 in the Clip - This is a song about doing push-ups. I was sorta confused the first time I heard it. Push-ups just isn't something I wanna here a song about, but they do a decent job with it. 3/5

10. Way of Life - The title pretty much says it all, all the things they deal with in their lives. However, this is probobly the most forgettable song on the album, it's really short and kinda boring. 2.5/5

11. Don't Forget Where U Goin' - For this track they bring back the beat that was in the intro, which I said was really nice. This time they do some rhyming though. Not really full out rapping, but kind of a singing rap it's tight though. 4/5

12. Hell Yeah (Pimp the System) (Remix feat. Jay-Z) - I told you this song would come back. the remix is the exact same thing as the original, except Jay-Z takes over the 3rd verse. Of cousre Jay rips the track, he raps about how he hustles his music into the suburbs and know all the middle class kids love rap "Little Joey got his do-rag on, drivin down the street blastin 2pac's song, But Billy like Snoop got his blue rag on, know before you know it you backin em". I should give this a lower ranking but it's Jay-Z so I gotta give this a 5/5

Now there are 7 blank tracks each of them about 4 seconds long.

20. They don't give you the name of this song but I'm pretty sure it's called "Twenty" (that's probobly why they made it track 20). This song is about how a dub sack gets to America. It's actually a really cool song with a dope beat, there's also a reggae verse at the end. 4/5

21. Another "Hell Yeah" remix, once again it's the same as the original, but this time there's a rock beat that's pretty cool. But I'm tired of these same raps by know. 3/5

This is the first Dead Prez album I got, everyone says their first album is 100 times better, but I think this one is really good. There are some flaws, but not every album can be a classic.
