Nextup in my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon,we got DJ Jimi I’m Back! I’m Back!, released in 1994 on Avenue Distribution& Soulin’ Records. Start Time: 5:13PM | End Time: 6:13 PM
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 longas it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, andthen lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If asong gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6rating, I pretty much really love it,as it’s considered mindblowin’ when Ihear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I typebefore “ >>> “ iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anythingafter I type “ >>> “ iz what I think of tha song while I’m listeningto it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in yourvocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’topics), I’m not buyin’ it!
