Tired and Fed Up with so-called hip-hop journalists who don't know a damn thing about music, I decided to - yep, you guessed it, take matters in my own hands. The ratings are as follows:

- absolutely sucks (and your punk ass better not approach me in public about my ratings)

-Ah-ight. Not exactly teacup coaster material, but won't receive repeat plays. Maybe one or two good songs. Sorta like your boy doin' all your production and your record label paying Primo to do that one cut that will make people buy your album and then wanna fuck you up later. You better thank me for saving you from a beatdown.

- I actually consider this the worst rating 'cause I'd rather make albums that suck than to ever be mediocre. To get this rating means that you're not even good enough to make a bad album, so this ain't good - this is mediocre.

- This is the good rating. Not exactly stellar, but it'll do. Usually given to reunion albums of past groups that made classic material that you're in denial about issuing anything less than a classic rating.

- Excellente. Totally loving it. Superb. In there. I'll give a lot of these out, '

cause that's all I listen to - Excellent material.

- Aw, Suki Suki now! Creme de la Creme. Superior material. Music sequencing, mixing, lyrics, and overall ideas are par excellence.

- "Mommy Mommy!! That big-ass bear said that he will decapitate the whole family if we don't purchase ten copies of this record for each family member!!!!!!!!"
