REVIEW - YG: Just Re'd Up 3

YG: Just Re'd Up 3

Yo, what's good, fam? It's your boy Dondi White, the top dog in this hip-hop game, back in the spot once again. YG, one of Kendrick's homies, just dropped that fresh joint, "Just Re'd Up 3", like fifteen minutes ago. Been mad hype around this one, and I've been fiendin' to peep it. Let's see what's really good with it.

1. Go Brazy - Yo, that tough talk on the intro got me hyped, no cap. Ayy, I hear that Mustard beat! This dude’s voice always hits, no doubt. This joint is fire, even though the production’s a little shaky. Aight, the features just pulled up—some crew called Baby Stone Gorillas. Sounds like they just phoned it in, but I’m still vibin’ with it. Solid start.

2. Right Now - We kickin' off with some piano and them racecar sounds. Dope. YG’s spitting now, talkin’ about some broad he’s gettin’ down with. The hook is on point, and DJ Mustard stepped up with the production. Everyone did their thing on this one.

3. Onlyfans - This one’s kinda cheesy, talkin’ about savin’ strippers from their grind. That Jaye Anderson dude is singin’, and it’s aight. YG comes through, and it’s just okay. Another sex track though—son better switch it up soon.

4. She Pretty - This beat is straight fire, fam. I’m really feelin’ it. Way better than the last track—got that classy vibe if you know what I’m sayin’. Saweetie jumps in—she’s everywhere right now. All the verses been tight so far. This might be the hottest joint on the album.

5. Put it in my Hand - More piano, huh? It’s cool. Larry June is on here, and he’s soundin’ solid. But this track is movin’ a bit too slow for me. The lack of bass compared to the other joints is a letdown. It’s alright, but it ain’t hittin’ like that.

6. Street Love - Yo, I’m diggin’ the xylophone on this joint. And Diamond Platinumz is on it too—dude always brings that fire with his Tanzanian flow. 

Now YG’s spittin’, and his flow is tight. He drops a sick line too: "I don't hold grudges, I hold Uzis." That’s tough.

7. Her Way - Some cat named Kalan.fr.fr is featured. He sounds like one of them generic SoundCloud singers, but it ain’t terrible. But yo, it’s the same old subject—sex, sex, sex.

"You're so sexy I'm going to call you Redd"

That line was mad corny, fam. Why you gotta compare your girl to some weak rapper like that? Straight cringe.

The lyrics here are straight trash compared to the rest of the album. Just a bunch of cheesy pickup lines, no real bars.

8. It's Givin' - Ty Dolla Sign pops up again—dude’s on everybody’s album this year. The track is just okay, nothing crazy with the beat. Another sex track, but then it takes a left turn—Ty Dolla Sign tries to rap. Word is bond, it sounds like he’s tryna spit bars while choppin’ veggies. I had to rewind that tape and make sure I heard that right, and yeah, he really did drop a verse that bad. My man needs to stay in his lane, being the T-Pain of this era—not a rapper.

9. Interlude - Not a track, so we ain’t really talkin’ about it. It’s an interesting skit though—wish they would’ve fleshed out the backstory more. Maybe they’ll do it later.

DISC 2:

10. Malibu - Yo, this joint is fire. YG’s spittin’ hard, and it’s hittin’ nice. Some of the rhymes are a little basic, but it’s still solid. That touring-flooring rhyme scheme is kinda weak though, mad annoying. Now Tee Grizzley’s on the mic, and he’s off-beat but still dope. I’m feelin’ it, and the hook is on point. G. Herbo came through too—it’s aight, but YG really stole the show here.

11. Violence - This one starts off smooth. YG better go in on this joint. Hold up… is this a Drake diss? I think it might be. I remember YG was heated when Drake name-dropped him in that diss at Kendrick. There’s a lotta heat in these bars. Gotta run this back to catch everything, but I’m pretty sure YG came through with shots at Drake. It's aight, another brother takin' shots at the Human Croissant.

12. Rescue Me - This one starts off decent. Damn, Ty Dolla Sign is back on here again. Hope he doesn’t mess it up. YG drops a weak line, actually two—straight garbage. The worst one was:

"Heard the pussy good - I reviewed it on Yelp"

That’s mad corny and dumb. 

The hook is catchy, but the lyrics ain’t on point. This hook’s gonna get stuck in my head, and that’s not a good look. Then we gotta sit through an outro skit of YG gettin’ head. Why don’t rappers just drop that stuff on a separate track so we can skip it?

13. Kolors - This beat is wild. YG’s goin’ in on it, too. I just hope the features keep up. Damn, the second verse is even crazier. The flow is straight up hardcore—I’m lovin’ it. Third verse comes in, not as strong but still solid. Overall, this track is pure fire.

14. Love Make - This one’s another solo joint. The intro singing is all over the place, disorganized as hell. It’s whatever, just another sex track—nothin’ we ain’t heard a million times before.

15. Stupid - This beat is wild. Oh, it’s Mustard on the track—that explains why it’s so hard. But then YG drops another dumb line:

"I can't picture me without a cheque  

Without a cheque I am a wreck"

Son, that’s too basic to be a solid bar. Yachty and Babyface came through, but they were as boring as you’d expect. Straight snooze fest.

16. My Favorite - Kalan.fr.fr is back on this one. There’s way too many generic sex raps on soft, corny beats. This is the kinda track you play to make a chick fall asleep, smiling and lookin' cute.

17. Knocka - The opera sample is a cool touch. The flow is decent too. But then he’s out here callin’ his girl Lady Gaga, just like with that weak Sexxy Redd line earlier. Sigh. At least the flow and energy are solid, though.

Beats - 7/10

18. Pimp My Ride - This beat is smooth as hell. YG’s solo on this one, so no one else to blame if it flops. The constant "-ang" rhyming in the first verse is basic and awkward as hell. Takes away from the track. Then he drops another trash bar:

"She told me it was Packers season - that means she's leaving"

And this gem:

"Last night I did it up
Woke up like I did it up"

Yo, YG, do you even check your bars before spittin’ them? How does that line even make sense son? You either “did it up” or it's like you did, but you didn’t—you can’t have it both ways. Or maybe it’s just straight redundant. Either way, that line is dumb as hell.

19. I'm in Love - Finally, the last track! More piano. And guess what? He’s back to rhyming about broads. Again. And again. And again. Yawn… The hook’s alright, though.

Aight, that was straight trash. YG still on fall off and it’s clear this dude’s got a one-track mind now. Almost every joint outta the eighteen on here is just about sex, like YG wants you to know he does the sexiest sex you've ever sexed and that you gotta hear it over and over till son's got you knowin' that in your sleep. For real though, the only thing savin’ this tape is the beats. If DJ Mustard didn’t lace about a quarter of these tracks, trust me, this joint would’ve scored in the thirties or even lower. Whenever YG couldn’t link up with Mustard, he picked the most boring and weirdest beats he could find without goin’ full soft rock on us. I don’t even know what to call some of these beats—sounds like somethin’ you’d hear at a girls-only college birthday party, with them sippin’ lemonade and sniffin’ flowers. I’m startin’ to think YG spends his time browsin’ Pornhub and smellin’ flowers too. Surprised there ain’t a track about his stepsister gettin’ stuck in the washing machine while in a bikini or somethin’, son goes on about chicks so dang much.

There’s so many corny lines on this tape, it’s pathetic. I ain’t even gonna list them out, mostly ‘cause I’m too lazy to rewind these wack tapes.

All in all, this tape’s a serious letdown. Cop it if you wanna hear some DJ Mustard beats, but honestly, who cares? You can probably find ‘em on YouTube on some music piracy channel and be good. Don’t waste your dough on a whole album just for Mustard.
