Reviewed on 9.28.2008 (Review No. 124)


Shit, here I am again! Watz good, FrankieThaLuckyDog in tha buildin', catchin' up wit tha reviewz 'cause shit iz gettin' hectic wit college. This review iz goin' out to my boy G-Eazy, who does all tha work and iz reppin' Da Bay/New Orleans (that's watz good), and his CD "The Tipping Point". This a white boy who's got skillz. Time for me to finally peep it out. Here goes my review for G-Eazy "The Tipping Point"! Start Time: 4:08 PM | Video Game Playing: Secret Of Mana (for Super Nintendo) (on my computer)






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.

© 2008 CD Review (Review #124) reviewed on 9.28.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "Intro"
Let's see how creative this intro iz… >>> It's long (3:32) for an intro. Yeah it definitely iz creative. What's goin' on? Here comes a beat at 1:14. Finally, rappin'! Yeah tha rappin' was nice and you got a cool voice. This shit gon be interesting to listen to. I've been reviewin' some interesting CDs recently. Good shit!! Now, I usually only rate intros/skits/outros by tha rappin' (if I give a rating). Because tha intro on this was real creative and different, I'm gonna add it to tha rating. Really, tha rating would've only been a 3.8 without tha intro but I'm gonna add tha intro's attributes to tha rating. My Rating: 4.3


02. "I Be In The Lab"
Thanx to Alex McConduit, I wouldn't've known you! He played this song (I first heard it tha end of July 2008 but I realized that you were "in tha studio" wit him before that) and I was like "what iz this? Sounds like Rugrats!" Alex corrected me and said that it was Dexter's Lab on tha sample. It grabbed my attention very fast and did some thangz wit me. Great song, one of tha most creative HOT songs this year and great beat too! I'm hittin' tha "lab" tomorrow (for tha 1st time myself) to make my commercial for class (it's to promote my rappin' grandma's single "Heart Throbbin' Every Heartbeat" (which I produced, wrote and created)). Great samples, GREAT rhymes and beat again! My Current Rating: 4.8


03. "I Go" Feat. Concept
Already a feature. Let's see what's goin' on here… >>> I'm feelin' that beat. Not bad so far… Might need more listens before it can grow on me. Concept was pretty nice on tha hook too. My Rating: 3.6


04. "Paper Planes" Feat. Rich Boy & M.I.A.
You're doin' somethin' to tha "planes"? Interesting! Huge anticipation on hearing! >>> I think I like Bun B's part in this "original Diplo Street Remix" version. Your verse was okay. I still love "Paper Planes" though. My Rating: 4.0


05. "Dollarz & Dreamz"
Good an original! >>> Sounds like The Beatles "Elenaor Rigby" violins in tha background. Good hook! That's somethin' I think about too. Feelin' this song on a personal level (since it's tha truth). Great song right here. Jammin'. My Rating: 4.2


06. "Nobody" Feat. PUSH & Riva
Let's see what this collab gon be like… >>> This was played on Crescent City Radio too. Tha music iz from Jem "They" and I'm definitely feelin' it!! Oh so you fuck wit kush (according to tha beginning of tha 1st verse)? Then that's watz good. I fucks wit you then, especially wit this review. This iz cool… Good hook and I'm glad that sample in tha music goes through tha whole song! Great rhymes too. My Rating: 4.5


07. "Fresh!"
That's tha sound you deliverin' dawg! Now deliver it on this joint! >>> Feelin' how that intro (sounded like spray paintin') turned itself into tha beat! This anotha Crescent City Radio song. Yeah this iz hot right here. Beat iz definitely hip-hop style for anyone and tha rhymes are good again. So you're "born in 89?" I'm older than you, lol (it's more common these dayz 'cause time iz progressin'). I'm born on 6-21-1988. Good shit. My Rating: 4.1


08. "Cold Fever (Remix)" Feat. Bedtime For Toys
Curious about tha featured artist. Tha title looks tight though. And wit G-Eazy workin' this shit, ANYTHING (yeah, ANYTHING) could happen when I press play!!! >>> Sounds like music that Ally B would like to play. Yeah, ANYTHING could happen… An Alternative-Rap song! Odd (in a pretty good way) song so far. Beginning (wit that girl) sounds good on tha vocals. Good verse by you dawg. This iz definitely different and I really like that Alternative-Rap beat! Good 3rd verse and hot "fresh!" shit right here! My Rating: 4.3


09. "Alone"
Now you're "alone" on this joint. But you do tha damn thang by yourself, ya heard me! >>> More Hip-Hop style in tha beat but still a lil' Alternative-Rapish. Good that you took tha "Alone" from Heart sample and put it into a Hip-Hop beat and this shit. Good rhymes and great song wit tha lyrics! My Rating: 4.0


10. "All Day" Feat. Felix
Lookin' at your Myspace and I know that you're multi-talented. I just looked at tha "Band Members" section and I see that you got pretty much tha same amount of talents I have: rapper (I am), producer (I am), mixer/studio engineer (I am bound to be a mixer when I create a mixtape and I'm kinda bein' a studio engineer in college during class), artist/graphic designer (I am) and **THA BIG ONE** video director (HAVE been for tha longest time; my strongest strength). Tha only thing you're missing (unless it counts under "video director") iz "video editor" 'cause I'm VERY strong wit that! Now to tha joint! >>> Sounds like anotha sample (like "Alone" was) in tha beginning. LOL! It's a smokin' anthem!! I would've neva predicted you were a kush dude dawg. But that's watz good and tha lyrics in tha 1st verse were great… just great! This joint was like a surprise on this CD! I mean, look at that Alternative type of vocals on tha hook (Felix) mixed in wit all this shit! Now this iz where CRACK comes into a joint like this! My Rating: 4.8


½time: 57 minutes in and it's off to a great start! Lovin' all this creativeness and I know you gon bring creativeness for tha rest of your life to tha table, ya dig! Keep up tha great work!


11. "Put It In My Mouth" Feat. Chris of Floopyhead
LOL @ this consistantness! I have a feelin' you sampled tha "Put It In My Mouth" joint and LOL @ tha name "Floopyhead" (LOL even more; I thought it said "Floppyhead"). This should be "G-Eazy" (like your name, meanin' "g" = "great" and "eazy" = "easy to do this tight shit")! >>> I knew it (wit tha sample). Pretty good so far. LOL @ tha "orgasms" part on tha 2nd verse! Now thingz are gettin' serious!! Great shit and LMFAO @ tha "and she love cock" line. Oh LMFAO @ "and deep in her mouth iz where she take my cum shots." Good shit!! My Rating: 4.4


12. "I'm Focused" Feat. 3rd Shift
Ooh 3rd Shift! Did he do tha beat or iz he rappin'? I predict tha intro/outro wit tha beat. High anticipation level!! >>> SMH @ tha bleep shit and "bitch-assness" regular. That iz a 3rd Shift beat (sounds like tha intro to "Daddy" by Oba Rowland). I was 100% right: tha intro/outro wit tha beat! TIGHT!! 3rd Shift iz that dude who iz ALWAYS focused and just FUCKIN' FUCKIN' LOVES producing!!! This iz so far tha HARDEST joint on this CD!! When you say "dawg" (which I really like when rappers say that) and you said "pussies" so you ain't playin' wit this shit. I think 'cause 3rd Shift made you HUNGRY for this beat (he made Lil' Bossy VERY hungry for beats; that's why he MURDERED all his 3rd Shift beats). That "get you pissed on" line iz full of focusness! No playin' games here! NOOOOOOOO tha fuckin' joint ended!!! UGH!!!!!!!!! My Rating: 4.9


13. "Gettin' Mine"
How will this joint follow-up tha "I'm Focused" focused joint? >>> Almost sounds like 3rd Shift beat again. Now it sounds like a "I Be In The Lab" type of hook. Oh wow what a HARD BEAT again!! That has to be 3rd Shift on tha beat again!! It reminds me almost of "My Niggaz" beat by Oba Rowland (wit that "Ride With The Mack" (Mack Maine/Lil' Wayne/Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I.) organ). CRAZY ALL THA WAY THROUGH!!! Lyrics again aren't fuckin' playin'!! And I did hear my dawg 3rd Shift at tha end again! Good shit and go to http://www.thecincinnatimonster.com for all tha HOT SHIT wit 3rd Shift, my dude! Hope you're gonna be on his mixtape (I can produce it but can't spell it), tha 2nd mixtape it iz (comin' soon), 'cause it's gonna be a problem in tha streetz!! My Rating: 4.8


14. "Cartiers (Remix)" Feat. Tha Slap Doctorz
What iz this joint gon sound like? >>> Pretty cool so far. Tha feel of tha beat iz remindin' me a lil' of Natureboy Rowe & Yung Mike "I'm Throwed" (wit tha flowin' and shit like that). Pretty good and feelin' it. I like tha "vitamins & minerals" line. Right before tha 3rd verse ended, I like tha "freezer/freezin'" line about your neck. This joint iz tha shit right here and it's on tha "fresh!" tip to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.3


15. "All Up On My Dick"
Now this iz where this CD keeps gettin' better and better!! Curious to hear how HARD you go on this joint! >>> I thought it was gonna be dedicated to tha haterz but it's to tha hoes on tha hook. Actually, I guess it's both since you talked about tha haterz on tha 1st verse. I like tha "Scooby" line and this iz definitely good so far. Glad you're "gettin' brain while you write this." That's prolly why tha lyrics are comin' out fast on this song! Speakin' of "googlin' you," after this review, this review'll prolly be on Google all over! My Rating: 4.2


16. "Freaks" Feat. G-Boy
This should be tight, especially since it's No. 16 (which I'm always in tha mood for). Looks like tha sequel to No. 15 so let's see!! >>> Wow short wit only 2:08 on tha length. This should go fast. Pretty good song even though it's short. Nice lil' anthem right here for tha clubs! Nice and short! My Rating: 4.0


17. "Low Key"
Somethin' we're keepin' on tha "low" or somethin' else? Let's see… >>> Have a feelin' it gon be good even though it's short again…! Anotha "blowin' dro" anthem!! Yeah, I'm glad you love your dro 'cause it's makin' me REAL happy to listen to these tracks! Tha shit right here!! Ooh you said "needless to say!" Love that sayin'! Tight shit right here! My Rating: 4.5


18. "White Tee" Feat. AB of Tha Slap Doctorz
I'm rockin' one now. Let's see what you got on "white tees"! >>> I'm tired of doin' reviewz today (this iz tha 3rd one today)!! But your CD just keeps gettin' me in tha mood to continue this without an attitude! Sounds like a Lil' Wayne flow on this joint on tha 1st verse. Wow real tight lyrics wit tha "9mm tucked under my muthafuckin' 'white tee'!" line (from AB)! I'm glad this CD got more Southern wit its style! Your verse wasn't so bad but AB had tha tight shit on this joint! My Rating: 4.1


19. "Pick Up The Pieces" Feat. PUSH & Jasmine Blue
Somethin' about this looks familiar (but I don't think it iz). Let's see what all y'all are talkin' about on this! >>> Just when I said it was "more Southern", it sounds non-Southern now on this joint (wit tha beat). That "breakin' up like bad service" line iz somethin'. Not bad but nothin' like tha last bunch of jointz I was listenin' to. Sounds like Nina Sky on tha hook BTW. My Rating: 3.4


20. "Sweet Sensation" Feat. Marc Payne & Jem
Iz this gon sound like No. 19?? >>> Anotha odd (in a good way) beat wit tha Alternative feel. I like tha girl singin' on tha hook. Because it says "Gem", that's not "Jem" (from tha "They" sample you used) iz it? Sounds like it. But great hook and decent song so far. Sounded like this song needed rappin' on it so you and Marc did a good job wit tha rappin'. My Rating: 3.8
EDIT: Just checked tha back cover and it says "Jem". I knew I was right.


21. "Just Believe"
What could tha last joint sound like? >>> Now it's a Telepopmuzik "Breathe" sample. This iz real cool how you're investigating wit all these samples! I like tha "hand/dealt" and "weed/to tha dome" lines consecutively! I also like tha "break like cracked glass" line. I like tha "breathin' marijuana and blow out stress" lines. That's 4 lines I quoted in a row. Good shit wit tha lyrics! Real nice lyrics and that last hook about tha "marijuana" and tha "puddles." I definitely liked tha lyrics in this, tha sample and tha beat was good too. My Rating: 3.9


Overall: End Time: 5:59 PM. I'm finished for today wit tha reviewz! I gotta get my homework done. Anyway, CD was pretty good for a start and then all of a sudden… BOOM!!! It went HARD for a minute!! Real great 2nd ½ of a CD and this CD was definitely somethin' TIGHT to listen to! I'm gonna put it on my iPod. Keep doin' yo thang G-Eazy! I wish you lots of success in tha future 'cause you got talent. BTW, I really think tha back cover iz dope.

Review #122: Chic Raw "What You Expect From Me?"

Reviewed on 9.28.2008 (Review No. 122)


It's FrankieThaLuckyDog here wit a lot of shit to do. I figure that I'd get tha reviews done wit before my homework. This CD that I'm about to review has been sittin' on my computer for about 3 months. I fell behind wit a bunch of these reviewz during tha Summer so now I'm finally doin' 'em. Thanx to my boy B-Mack, I'm about to find out more about Chic Raw. Especially since tha CD iz called "What You Expect From Me?", I'm expectin' RAW shit. Him and my boy Juice were playin' freestyles he did on Youtube and I thought they were tight. Now I'm gonna see if he can compete wit Joey Jihad & Meek Mill 'cause tha 2 of their mixtapes were REAL TIGHT!! Here goes my review (FINALLY) for Chic Raw "What You Expect From Me?". Happy birthday to my boy Big Mike also! Start Time: 11:00 AM | Video Game Playing: Secret Of Mana (for Super Nintendo) (on my computer)

© 2008 CD Review (Review #122) reviewed on 9.28.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "Intro"
How we gon start this mixtape off? >>> Good it's 2:29 on tha length so there'll prolly be rappin'! Oh so this iz a "street album." Yeah, he definitely sounds RAW wit how he's spittin' this shit! He might have tha RAWEST attitude outta Joey Jihad and Meek Mill. Yeah, that was DEFINITELY raw and I can't wait to hear a WHOLE ENTIRE JOINT!! Good thing for Juice and B-Mack 'cause they discover these RAW-ASS rappers from Philly and when I get to hear them, tha reviewz I do are SKY-HIGH tight!!! My Rating: 4.2


02. "What U Want Me To Do?"
Well, I want you to SPIT some RAW-ASS shit, ya dig!! Let's see what you got wit a high anticipation!! >>> Tha very beginning of tha intro was very dark so I definitely felt that. Tha beat iz pretty nice; on tha Philly side. Great 1st verse. No offense but I didn't think that it needed to be "brought back" 'cause I'd rather hear more different verses from you. Yeah great hook and good 2nd verse too (which should've been a 3rd verse). My Rating: 4.3


03. Skit
Let's hear it. >>> Yes it's on tha "smokin' weed / high" tip!! I definitely enjoy any skit that sounds high like that. Good shit and interesting skit. My Rating: N/A


04. "Do What U Got To Do" Feat. Meek Mill
HUGE ANTICIPATION for Meek Mill on tha feature!!!!! >>> Too bad it's very short. Shit, 2:21 on tha length. Will expect a lot! You're on tha 1st verse… Nice and fast and sounds good so far. Great verse by you! Usually, I don't feel certain females singin' on tha hooks on CDs that go hard but tha female on tha hook sounds good. Meek Mill iz on tha 2nd verse…! Of course, he's unstoppable wit his rhymes!! Crazy shit! FREE MEEK MILL!!!!!!!!!! That sux REAL BAD that he's locked up!! Oh how weird, at tha end, tha announcing of who to "free" was said right after I brought up Meek bein' locked up. LOL. My Rating: 4.5


05. Bucks Speaks
Anotha skit! >>> Great message and I'm lookin' forward to listenin' to tha next joint on here! My Rating: N/A


06. "I'm Feelin' Stressed Out"
Have anticipation, especially since it's on tha "stressed out" tip. There must be some "smokin' kush" lyrics in this so that's an anticipation boost for me too! >>> A short one (2:50 on tha length) but prolly good again! I somewhat expected better but I'm feelin' this. Tha hook iz what sticks out for me on this. Good rhymes either way. My Rating: 4.0


07. "Street Mentality"
This joint better be a lot better and have a HUGE rating from me!! >>> Tight bass on this! This iz tha VERY FIRST TIME I commented on bass on any of my reviewz, lol. Yes, this iz a lot better! Beat iz tight, great 1st verse and that hook iz just REAL NICE! Yeah, great 2nd verse too! This iz tha shit right here! Lucky No. 7 on this CD! REALLY feelin' tha hook! My Rating: 4.6


½time: Wow, only 24 minutes in and I'm ½ way through. Pretty good so far but I thought Joey Jihad's had tha better 1st ½, Meek Mill had an okay 1st ½ but a VERY HUGE 2nd ½ so anything can happen! Hope tha next 8 jointz are real tight!


08. Hec Speaks
Good thing you have all these people speakin' on your CD! >>> Short but good. I HOPE tha next joint iz a "street banger." It HAS to be!! My Rating: N/A


09. "What U Expect From Me?"
It's tha title track. I'm anticipated since I "expect" A LOT "from you"! >>> Good back to tha longer songs (4:08 on tha length)! Good beginning about tha "pots" and tha "stoves." Again it's bein' "runned back." I really think there should've been anotha verse. Tha 1st verse was great though. Tight hook and 2nd verse iz soundin' real good so far! That was a "street banger" right there! My Rating: 4.4


10. "Dopeman" Feat. Tray Money
An artist I'm not familiar wit iz featured so I have anticipation for that. LOTS MORE anticipation 'cause of tha title!! >>> Good 4 minutes flat on tha length! I LOVE "dopeman" songs! What a TIGHT-ASS HOOK!!! Verses are REAL GREAT and I'm glad you're "posted up" and shit! FINALLY a 3rd verse and it's REAL, REAL TIGHT!!! I'm glad you "sell dope like it's legal." My Rating: 4.7


11. "Da Feeling Of Money" Feat. Kre Forch
Anotha artist I'm not familiar wit iz featured so I have more anticipation for that! ANOTHA title I'm really feelin' so LOTS MORE anticipation for that!!! >>> It's off to a good start so far. Nice beat and tha 1st verse iz nice. 2nd verse was aight to me. Not as good as tha 1st verse. Good hook too. My Rating: 4.1


12. Real Talk
LOL! Tha previous review I did (for Baton Rouge rapper Dutty Devioso) had a song "Real Talk" as tha No. 12 song and now there's one here (a review later) at No. 12, lol! But anyway, iz this a skit or a song? >>> It iz a SKIT!! That dude sounded pretty cool wit what he was sayin'. Anotha good skit but that 1st one was tha shit. My Rating: N/A


13. "Hangin' On…."
Let's hear this one… >>> Sounds like a Country style startin' off… I actually am likin' tha style. Call it "Country-Hop", lol. Oh there's anotha song in this? Good fusion 'cause tha 2nd beat sounds BETTER!! Great verse on tha 2nd beat and better hook! My Rating: 3.9
EDIT: Because tha No. 14 joint was fused wit tha No. 13 joint, I wasn't gonna average tha 2 ratings together. I did them separately.


14. "Man On The Block" Feat. S.Ruger & Dodi
So this was tha name of what was fused in No. 13. It's a tight title and now we'll see if I can get tha 4.3 rating feelin' again (which was what I was gonna originally rate it when I heard it). >>> Tight shit! That hook iz REAL, REAL, REAL TIGHT!!!!! On REAL TIGHT Philly shit! I'm feelin' that "get your pillows and your blankets if you sleepin' on D" line a whole lot! Good shit! Now it's fusing tha last joint onto this. I rather of heard tha "Man On The Block" joint more. Aight song so far but this'll be tha official rating for "Man On The Block". FUCKIN' LOVED IT!! My Rating: 4.6


15. "Outro"
Continuing on… >>> Ooh 6 minutes, 26 seconds! It was aight for an outro. Nothin' really caught on for me. Uh… what happened? Iz there anything left? From 2:13 – 2:50, there was nothin'. LOL it came back!! Now that's watz good!! MUCH BETTER soundin' wit tha "shells" part in tha beginning! Now this iz an outro!! Tight hook! LOL @ "I shit while I eat." That's 'cause you be gettin' SO MUCH cake; no wonder! Great outro. Now, because there was 2 different jointz, I'm gonna do a "fusion rating" (where I combine 2 different songs's ratings). My Ratings: "Outro (Song 1)": 3.2 | "Outro (Song 2)": 4.6 | My Official Rating Combined: 3.9


Overall: End Time: 12:07 PM. Well, even though I liked Joey Jihad's mixtape "Tha Big Dog Yard" and Meek Mill's mixtape "Flamers" a lot better, yours STILL had VERY NICE ratings from me! I know this tape iz a lil' whiles old now so hopefully you're makin' some new shit now. Keep doin' yo thang and I'm glad I enjoyed your music!


Rankings (according to my ratings):

11. "Hangin' On…." 3.9
10. "Outro" 3.9 (both parts combined)
09. "I'm Feelin' Stressed Out" 4.0
08. "Da Feeling Of Money" Feat. Kre Forch 4.1
07. "Intro" 4.2
06. "What U Want Me To Do?" 4.3

© 2008 CD Review (Review #121) reviewed on 9.26.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "Intro"
Dunn dunn dunn… Very anticipated, especially since I'm gettin' paid to do this…!! >>> Almost got thrown off by tha singin' in tha beginning but tha beat iz gettin' a lil' better and now I hear you rappin'! You just mentioned "tha dumb way" so now I wanna hear what you got to say! Definitely good for a start! If longer, I prolly would've rated it more but all good 'cause I liked it and that's what counts! My Rating: 3.9


02. "Peepers"
I wonder what this joint'll be like. C'mon, good shit!! >>> Good it's long wit a 4:35 length and it's an original beat so that's good! Beat iz gettin' better! You sound like an interesting Baton Rouge rapper! I got LOTS OF LUV for Baton Rouge rappers/people 'cause people in Baton Rouge luv me and got LOTS of respect for me and what I do. Great verses, especially at tha end of tha 2nd verse wit tha "hit 'cha wit tha blocka, blocka" line. Liked that shit! Definitely feelin' this interesting song. Go Dutty Devioso!! My Rating: 4.3


03. "Fish Grease"
Ooh anotha interesting title!! High anticipation 'cause I'm real curious to hear what this one iz about!! >>> Good faster beat. Yeah, you are keepin' it "hot like 'fish grease'." Good shit so far. Yeah anotha interesting song wit those interesting lyrical lyrics. Keepin' me in-tune wit these jointz 'cause they're great. Definitely feelin' 'em and I'm glad I'm doin' this review for you! Thanx SO MUCH for payin' me for it!! My Rating: 4.0


04. "Easy"
That's what it prolly iz when it comes to this Rap shit for you. Let's hear what's goin' on wit this one… >>> A cool beat intro for this one. Should be interesting… again! Yup, this iz interesting and GREAT SHIT to listen to!! That hook iz tight wit it bein' so "easy" to do shit. That 2nd verse was nice! Sounds like a nice mainstream song wit that beat. I'm glad these songs sound good without soundin' "trendy". Great song right there and I hope it gets you to places! My Rating: 4.2


05. "Walk Like A G" Feat. Diablo
First feature on tha CD and what do ya know? I know who it iz! Diablo fucks wit Nu$$ie so I know he be on Nu$$ie's TIGHT collaborations. Time to hear what you 2 did! >>> A switch in styles as this iz more southern. Like that screwed & chopped hook. Good verse by you. Now, I hear Diablo on tha 2nd verse… Good verse from him. Now, you're on tha 3rd verse… I'm DEFINITELY feelin' tha "how to make a good hand out tha cards I was dealt." Very lyrical line right there! Good 3rd verse. My Rating: 4.1


06. "Up The Ante"
Tha title track… Let's see watz good! >>> Decent beat start. Actually, tha beat iz a lot better soundin' since it's more on tha "dark" side. Great 1st verse and for some reason, I love tha hook, especially when tha title iz said! Yeah great shit goin' on wit this song! THAT FUCKIN' HOOK! LOVE IT!!! Likin' tha "chef/grill ya" line. Tight joint right here! My Rating: 4.5


07. "Long Time Coming" Feat. John Barnes
Let's see this new collab for me… >>> Beat iz not my style and tha song iz not my style. Interesting lyrics in tha 1st verse though about tha drug related thingz. Can't really get into that hook too. This ain't tha type of song I would get into but good job on tha lyrics and call this a "future follow-up single" if you be droppin' singles. Please mind my rating as it's my rating. My Rating: 2.7


08. "2 Step" Feat. Kid-0
Hope I'll like this and it doesn't sound too "trendy"… >>> Good thing it's not bad as it sounds slow and dark, compared to somethin' like Unk's "2 Step" where it's fast and full of a "gay dance style". Glad you made this into a "cool" song and not a "gay dance" song. Great verse and hook. Kid-0 did his thang on his part. Sounds like a great collabo. Feelin' that hook more! Great collabo and song. That's real cool that you said "dawg" twice at tha end of tha song 'cause I always really like when rappers say "dawg." BTW, that was a very true line at tha end where you were talkin' about people "fightin' in tha club but they 'posed to be grown ass men." I wish there would be less fightin'. That way, there wouldn't be much stereotypin' to get me to tha club 'cause I neva got to one yet and I have no way of gettin' back 'n forth to one. I ain't got no friends where I'm at either so that's why my luck iz very minimal. All my friends are tha peeps I network wit online in Louisiana (but that's 20 hours away from me). My Rating: 4.0


09. "I'll Give U Dat" Feat. South PZ
Let's see if this one'll sound like a HARD Baton Rouge club banga!! >>> Very anticipating intro as it's very slow. Yeah, there's that HITTIN' HARD beat creepin' in!! Good thing this doesn't sound like tha usual club bangaz that come out. This goes HARD wit tha beat and tha way you rap it! Good shit homie! South PZ sounded not bad but you were a lot better on this. Definitely a tight joint right here and great for tha Baton Rouge clubs! Oh and you said "dawg" at tha end of this joint too so that's watz good. My Rating: 4.2


½time: This iz a tight CD you got here! Most of tha jointz I was really feelin' and definitely didn't sound like anyone else so there's a LOT of originality in this! Keep up tha great work and let's see what's next…!


10. "Tippy Toes" Feat. TeQuilla
I'll pass on tha preview. >>> Great beat start! Sounds like a sequel of tha previous joint I listened to, "I'll Give U Dat". Ooh TeQuilla iz a female! Let's hear what she's got… She was nice on tha mic. This iz a catchy song. Feelin' that catchy hook. My Rating: 3.8


11. "Fuck Y'all" Feat. Kingpin Slim
Let's see how angry you are on this… >>> Yeah, I know a lot of "cowards" that "change like tha seasons." Too many people I dealt wit from Lackawanna College "changed like seasons" and I couldn't stand it. You can be real cool but why not respectful to me at tha same time? That's why in my head I'm like, just like you're sayin', "fuck y'all" at times 'cause who needs tha bullshit? Anyway, Kingpin did his thang and you did a great job on this. Feelin' you on tha 3rd verse of this. My Rating: 3.9


12. "Real Talk" Feat. Jayroc
That's what you spit so now let's see how you spit it! >>> This iz tight! Great beat and tha rappin' on this iz tight. This iz "real talk" from me and I'm sure this iz "real talk" from you and Jayroc too. Jayroc came through HARD on his verse!! You did a great job wit your verses and that hook just gets this joint goin'. HOT shit right here that went HARD! My Rating: 4.4


13. "Overnight Celeb"
>>> Cool beat intro! This iz a pretty nice joint right here. I like tha singin' in tha hook. Good verses and I'm glad you're "blazin' dank." My Rating: 3.7


14. "Wasshappnin'"
Let's see how cool this joint gon sound like! >>> Anotha long joint and this one iz 4:56 on tha length. Yeah, tha "wassup, wasshappnin' nigga" parts sound like tha way people in Louisiana talk in tha Rap game so I was feelin' that. I'm glad you "got that product in your sock." That's watz good that you tryna get yo money game up and yo smoke on. LOL @ you "dyin' to let your semen out." I just let some out right before I got into "Real Talk" on here (yeah, that's "real talk" that I'm sayin' too, lol). Yeah, I ain't afraid to say shit on my reviews. I love my reviews and givin' tha streets what they wanna hear: *Janet voice* feedback, feedback! This iz a joint right here! Yeah this was a REAL COOL joint right here. My Rating: 4.5


15. "Young N Dumb"
That's how they do it in B.R.! Lemme see how "dumb" you go on this junt! >>> Good another longy @ 4:36 on tha length. Nice, laid back flowin' on this wit a nice beat. This iz more not on tha "go dumb/stupid" side. It sounds like it's more on tha "you're dumb/stupid" side. Yeah this iz okay. Since it's about someone who's just plain stupid, I don't really have much interest in feelin' it too much. But yeah, good advice at tha end: tellin' tha "young" ones not to be "dumb". My Rating: 3.4


16. "Dis Is Life" Feat. V. Skillz
Let's hear about your life even more! >>> I thought V. Skillz was gonna be a male rapper but no, a female singer. Because I didn't have much faith in No. 7, I don't have much faith in this either (and I usually get faith wit No. 16). It's anotha joint I can't really get into but I'm gonna listen to give you some credit on thingz: more great lyrics on tha 1st verse about your mom, your dad and about you and your "sellin'" issue. Definitely real great lyrics on tha 2nd verse which deals more wit life. Very lyrical. Pretty good 3rd verse too. I wonder why so many people in tha Rap game struggle? What's tha definition? I'd rate tha lyrics a 4.8/5.0 when it comes to tha lyrics but for tha song and how I feel it, I can't rate it so high 'cause of what I get into listenin'. My Rating: 3.0


17. "One Good Girl" Feat. Ciano
Just finna get into it now. >>> Wow these jointz be long (4:30 on tha length). I thought this was gonna sound better but no, not for me. It's special when it comes to that "one girl" but not really gettin' into this. What's wit tha "Umbrella" type of hook in tha 1st ½ of tha hook? That's a throw off for me. Not too much to say. Sorry. My Rating: 2.4


18. "Googa Mooga" Feat. Lil' Witness
Can I finally give a betta rating? Lil' Witness on this so you know at least 4.0 or higher for me! >>> And ANOTHA joint over 4 minutes! Maybe this'll sound more like a "for tha ladies" anthem than tha previous joint. Like that intro from you! Oh you sound a lil' like Max Minelli BTW. I see you said "thicka than a snicka." I wish that song, by Meech, "Thicka Than A Snicka", would've blown up (came out tha end of last year). It was soooooooooooooooooooo mainstreamish and flopped. Not wit me though! Great so far and yeah, Lil' Witness wit his CRAZY rappin'!!! Song iz pretty good. Lil' Witness really put tha "TIGHT" in this joint. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't've rated this at least 4.0! My Rating: 4.3


19. "Damage Is Done"
This iz it! Tha CD iz over after this… How will you end it? >>> Sounds like a Rick Ross "Hustlin'" organ in tha beginning. REAL catchy lyrical lyrics in tha 1st verse (even when it comes down to "brushin' your teeth"). Now this iz tha lyrical shit I can rate better (especially wit a nice beat like this)! No offense but LOL @ imitating tha "lil' kid cryin'" part. Too bad for him though. Great lyrics and great song right here! My Rating: 4.2


Overall: End Time: 9:48 PM. LOL @ exactly 2 hours. I neva hit it on tha nail like that but I guess thanx to tha masturbating (lol), it balanced out. Anyway, you have yourself here a good CD! Definitely felt a bunch of these jointz on here! Some I didn't feel, but you proved your lyrics were good wit that No. 19 joint. Now that's when I wanna hear tha lyrical shit! Keep doin' yo thang, I hope you like this review and thanx again for tha payment!

Review #120: C-Loc "Anybody Can Get It!"

Reviewed on 9.21.2008 (Review No. 120)


FrankieThaLuckyDog here, 'bout to break a record for most reviews done in a day: 4!! My 4th review today, 120th overall, iz comin' once again from my dawg C-Loc and his 2008 CD "Anybody Can Get It!". Hopefully he keeps tha HOT SHIT comin'!! Here goes my 4th review of tha day: C-Loc "Anybody Can Get It!". Start Time: 8:51 PM | Video Game Playing: Secret Of Mana (for Super Nintendo) (on my computer)








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 or have auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!



© 2008 CD Review (Review #120) reviewed on 9.21.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. Intro
How will you do on this intro? >>> So this must be pretty recent since you said that my dawg Young Ready iz in jail. You DEFINITELY "are reachin' out to tha people" and I DO "give a fuck" about your music! My ears are all on your CD right now dawg!! My Rating: N/A


02. "Anybody Can Get It!" Feat. Young Ready
Wow Young Ready FEATURED ON IT ALREADY?!!?!?!!! YEAH!!!! And tha title even has an EXCLAMATION POINT to prove that it gon be HOT!!! REALLY LOOKIN' FORWARD TO THIS!!! >>> Beat sounds like a different version of "Set It Off" by Juvenile. Tight start wit tha beat and you startin' off tha 1st verse!! Great verse! Young Ready did his thang on tha 2nd verse!! Great collabo and great intro song even though I felt tha "I Mean That" intro song better. Great Louisiana beat again wit a somewhat "Wipe Me Down" feel to tha beat! My Rating: 4.4


03. "Straight Drop" Feat. Savage & Young Crucial
So you're levelin' yourself up I see, now that you got Savage on tha collabo! This should be fiya!! >>> Anotha cool Louisiana (Baton Rouge) beat!! Great 1st verse and tha hook has that "pyrex" in it again (heard earlier today on one of tha otha reviewz I did). Great hook! Young Crucial on tha 2nd verse! Great 2nd verse by him! He did his thang! My boy Supa Sav (a.k.a. tha real Savage) on tha 3rd verse! He made tha joint sound interesting to listen to. Good shit! My Rating: 4.3


04. "Beat It Loose" Feat. Max Minelli
Now it's Max Minelli on tha feature! You know you KNOW how to keep tha consistantness goin'!! >>> Anotha tight Louisiana beat! I like tha "WWF" line. Great 1st verse and tha hook iz catchy. That's cool that Max Minelli had tha background vocals. Great, he's on tha 2nd verse! He definitely did his thang on tha 2nd verse, givin' tha females tha right advice! Great female song right here! My Rating: 4.2


05. "Doing Me"
Let's see how you do you! >>> Anotha great Louisiana sound!! Sounds like a Music Choice Rap type of song. Cool swag song about yourself. Cool joint right there. Catchy hook too. A lil' mainstreamish so who knows if it gets out in tha mainstream (or local Louisiana) world. My Rating: 4.2


06. "Neva Been" Feat. Young Crucial & Savage
Back wit this collab again! Tha 3 of ya'll couldn't get enough! I have a feelin' this song iz gonna be like "I've 'neva been' a snitch/pussy" or on some shit like that. Lemme find out! >>> Sounds like nearly tha same beats as one of tha ones on here. Still sounds great 'cause it's that Louisiana sound. So it's "neva been a bitch." I was close. Yeah C-Loc, you've been a WHOLE LOT! That's why you keep it real!! Savage on tha 2nd verse!! Savage wit tha "hand grenade!" He's very trill!! Definitely a great verse from Savage! Great 3rd verse from Young Crucial too! My Rating: 4.3


07. "You Gon' Lose" Feat. Young Crucial & Savage
Ewe (in a good way; it's a word I use as a catchphrase) it's Young Crucial & Savage 2 play!! And LOL @ tha title! I actually had to take a 2 minute break from tha CD 'cause I had to fight this boss in this game I'm playin'. I got to tha part where I only had like 2 minutes to beat him and because I was trained VERY STRONG in tha game, I beat it in like 10 seconds, so for tha title, NO, "I won't lose," LOL!! Let's see how this joint gon sound though! >>> That OLD Savage sayin' that I loved: "Savage on tha beat!" Now he does tha "you hear tha way we rip that Savage track to pieces" or somethin' like that. Savage took this beat to a more serious level!! LOVE IT!! Tha hook iz VERY Baton Rougeish!!! Feelin' that tight 1st verse! Crucial iz doin' tha damn thang on his verse! He's REAL TIGHT on tha 2nd verse!! Oh yeah, Savage was supposed to post some of his sound effects that he uses on tha Word Of South board! Savage, get tha time to do it 'cause I DEFINITELY need sound effects to produce! Anyway, Savage went back 'n forth wit tha beat and just rode it nice!! GREAT verse by Savage!! My Rating: 4.6


½time: It's off to a real good start (of course). However, I liked tha "Under That Old Law" CD a lot better so far. Hopefully this can keep up!


08. "Rachet Chic" Feat. Young Crucial
Again Young Crucial, lol! Let's see what ya'll did without Savage… >>> Nice beat intro so far. Okay song for me. Its got a real nice down south vibe, but I guess tha "minus Savage" thing kinda made me rate it a lil' lower. Nothin' really to say but I just like tha relaxin' vibe to it. My Rating: 3.7


09. "Rap Star"
That's a nice title. Let's see how you put it into a song! >>> A better beat this time. A female singer on tha hook and she sounds hot. "I know;" nice tha way she said that. Yeah, most rappers are "toilet tissue" these dayz. TELL 'EM C-LOC!!! Interesting 1st verse! You gave information about those up-and-comin' rappers, tellin' 'em not to be wack! More HOT advice on tha 2nd verse! Wow tha song ended fast/outta nowhere. Great 3rd verse too! REAL GREAT advice on up-and-comin' rappers! My Rating: 4.3


10. "Keep It Pushing"
Will this be a good motivation song for me? >>> I had a feelin' it was gonna be short; it's only 2:28. Yeah good motivation song for you but this ain't mindblowin' like a bunch of your otha songs. Good lyrics though. My Rating: 3.6


11. "It's Going Down"
I see there's not many features this time. I wonder how this one gon sound… >>> Pretty good beat wit that sample in tha beat. Pretty good hook so far. Not bad on tha 1st verse even though I couldn't get into it that much. Tha hook iz catchin' on more for me but other than that, tha verses was just okay. My Rating: 3.8


12. "Ain't Got A Clue"
>>> Beat ain't that bad, lost a lil' interest on tha 1st verse but tha hook iz nice. Well, at least you keep not givin' tha streetz up. You well respected in tha streets. My Rating: 3.8


13. "Listen Son"
Hope tha title can catch on for some better ratings from me… >>> Okay, a better beat intro. *Crosses fingers* Tight beat for this song and tha rappin' sounds better. Tha hook iz nice, especially wit tha beat gettin' better! This iz some better shit from tha last bunch of songs. Good song/comeback to tha 2nd ½. My Rating: 4.2


14. "Make Way" Feat. Savage
Finally back to tha features and it's my boy Savage! Let's see how ya'll did without Young Crucial… >>> Oh it's a short Savage feature song wit only 2:59 on tha length. I like how Savage started tha song off. Tha beat iz definitely tight and you on tha hook C-Loc iz tight! I like Savage's Biggie mention of tha "I just want tha paper" quote. Glad Savage started it off! Nice verse by you also. Catchy song/anthem right here. My Rating: 4.3


15. "Rubber Nose" Feat. Young Crucial
Ugh, thought that was Young Ready on tha feature. I guess he barely appeared on here due to his jail time. Anyway, let's see how ya'll ended this… >>> Only 2 minutes, 12 seconds long? *Gulp* LOL @ tha hook! Catchy song! Okay verses and real catchy hook. My Rating: 4.1


Overall: End Time: 10:03 PM. Well C-Loc, this iz my honest opinion: out of all 4 CDs I reviewed today (which you were on all of them), this one was easily my least favorite. My favorite was easily tha "Under That Old Law". That was REAL TIGHT, especially wit all tha Young Ready collabos! I know you cookin' up some new shit prolly right now and waitin' for Young Ready to get out so you could cook up more, but I just wanted to say that it was a real pleasure to review so many CDs of yours in one day. I wanted to get it all outta tha way in a day so there you go. Keep doin' yo thang!

Review #119: C-Loc "Under That Old Law"

Reviewed on 9.21.2008 (Review No. 119)


Watz good it's FrankieThaLuckyDog here wit tha 3rd review I'm doin' today. Still feelin' good enough for anotha one! I'm tryin' to get 'em outta tha way so I don't have too much shit behind me for when college gets harder for me. Anyway, this gon be my review for my dawg C-Loc (again, lol)'s "Under That Old Law" CD from last year. I'm anticipated for it, especially since that last one I reviewed, tha CD before that, "Tha King Of B.R.: Greatest Hits Vol. 1 (Bootleg)", was CRAZY!! Here goes my review for C-Loc "Under That Old Law". Start Time: 6:09 PM | Video Game Playing: Secret Of Mana (for Super Nintendo) (on my computer)

© 2008 CD Review (Review #119) reviewed on 9.21.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. Intro
How you cookin' up tha intro this time dawg? >>> You sound a lil' more grown but still sound GREAT!! VERY interesting topic of where you're takin' me to in this CD (goin' back to tha "old law"). I'm definitely anticipated to hear what's gonna pop off on this mixtape! BTW, that beat was TIGHT in tha intro (great Baton Rouge shit)!! My Rating: N/A


02. "I Mean That" Feat. Young Ready
You are DEFINITELY true about everything you say, so there's easily a way that this joint gon be hot! Huge anticipation to hear it!! >>> Production sounds more better than some of tha tracks from tha last CD. Tha beat iz OFF THA CHAIN!!! Definitely enjoyin' you rappin' right now!! Too bad "your heart numb" 'cause you "been through so much shit." At least you got A LOT OF GREAT SHIT goin' on and I'm glad you're spittin' about err-thang!! It sounds like someone else iz on tha 2nd verse and they sound tight too. I almost thought it was my dawg Young Ready but they sounded a lil' different from him. Had like tha same type of flow but my internet iz off right now so I can't google a tracklisting. EDIT: Took anotha listen at tha verse and it does sound like my dawg Young Ready!!!!! REAL TIGHT start to this CD!! My Rating: 4.7


03. "Nightmares"
Very good title for this track on this CD so I'm definitely gettin' a huge anticipation for it!!!!! >>> DEFINITELY feelin' it already wit that DARK beat, tha "blocka, blocka" beginning to tha 1st verse and that rappin'! That sux REAL BAD that you "got blood" all over you. This iz VERY interesting and VERY LYRICAL (tha lyrical shit I can listen to). LOVE IT!!! VERY NICE hook from whoeva was singin' it. GREAT 2nd verse too! You are DEFINITELY one of tha MOST RESPECTED rappers outta Baton Rouge, ya dig!! One of tha BEST lyrical songs I've eva heard!! My Rating: 4.9


04 & 15. "Rata Tata (Main / Radio)" Feat. Max Minelli & Young Ready
Likin' tha title (has to do wit a chopper goin' off?)!! I see my boy Max Minelli and my MA'FUCKIN' DAWG Young Ready iz on this bitch so I'm havin' HUGE, HUGE, HUGE ANTICIPATION *SCREAMS* RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!! >>> Interesting quiet intro. YES, THA BEAT IZ CREEPIN' IN!!! I swear, when Young Ready iz on a track, there's always a creepin' beat!! Wow tha beat iz CRAZY!!! Great 1st verse by C-Loc! I was right about a chopper goin' off about tha title! That's a HOT hook!! Yeah, "bitch, get out tha way!" 'cause Max Minelli iz comin'! Great emerge into tha 2nd verse Minelli! GREAT SHIT from him!! Now onto my ma'fuckin' dawg Young Ready!!! Young Ready too FUCKIN' RAW!!! He'd "duck tape ya neighbors when he's tryna get this paper!" OMG!!!!!!!!!! Fuckin' KILLED that 3rd verse!! Got SOOO much luv for Young Ready!!! He REAL TIGHT wit thangz! That's why he's "Da Dumbest Of Tha Camp"!!! My Rating: 4.8


05. "Just That Liquor In 'Em" Feat. Rene & Young Ready
I wonder who Rene iz… But MY MA'FUCKIN' DAWG Young Ready iz on anotha joint!!!!!!! HUGE ANTICIPATION *SCREAMS LOUDER* AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >>> A cool beat intro so far. It has a lil' "rockstar"ness wit that Baton Rouge feel to it. Feelin' that hook! Young Ready on tha 1st verse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Young Ready iz tha truth!! He doesn't FUCKIN' PLAY 'cause why do you think he got in jail? He showed that he doesn't play no fuckin' games so he had to show a bitch-ass somethin'. Too bad he got served more time than he should've had. But he's almost outta jail and he told me he's been writin' some sick shit so you know Baton Rouge gon be SHININ' REAL HARD for tha '09!!! DEFINITELY feelin' Rene on tha 2nd verse!! TIGHT JOINT right here! My Rating: 4.7


06. "Loyalty"
I have dinner to eat (fishsticks & perogies, a double-special combo) so if I don't type much, it's 'cause I'm eating. I'll just call rappin' granny when I'm done wit No. 7 and eat my dinner. Let's see you by yourself on this joint. >>> Feelin' that beat intro!! Nobody could've said it betta than you dawg. Really feelin' that hook!! Tha 1st verse was tight!! 2nd verse was real good too!! 3rd verse was real good too!! This whole joint was real consistant!! Nice cold ending! My Rating: 4.6


07. "Confused"
I wonder what you're confused at… >>> Very short joint wit only a length of 2:29. TIGHT beat intro (as always). So people are confused. Yeah, 'cause a lot of them are wack! Tha beat keeps gettin' betta and your rhymes are just GREAT!! Great shit right here and great beat!!! My Rating: 4.6


½time:
Well, tha CD iz OVERWHELMINGLY GREAT and for tha 1st time on a ½time, I EXTREMELY LOVE every song (4.6 rating or higher)!!! CRAZY SHIT YOU BE COOKIN' UP!!! Now, I'm gonna eat all my dinner while talkin' to my rappin' granny. *Break at 6:54 PM* >>> Aight back 15 minutes later at 7:09 PM. I didn't get to talk to her 'cause she's goin' to tha hospital to visit my aunt Linda, who got sick a few dayz ago. Anyway, back to tha HOT, HOT CD from my dawg C-Loc!!

*Imitates* SCOOBY-DOOBY-DOO!!! Young Ready on this joint so *SCREAMS* VERY HIGH ANTICIPATION!!! Title makes it look raw already!! >>> Yes, it's 5 minutes, 8 seconds long! Tha beat iz tight so far and reminds me of playin' Tomb Raider III non-stop, trapped in a cavern!! C-Loc startin' off wit tha 1st verse! LOL @ all those phones! Hook iz tight and great evasion for bullshit! Big Scoob doin' tha hook and also tha 2nd verse! Great verse! DYIN' TO HEAR MY DAWG YOUNG READY!!!!! He's FUCKIN' KILLIN' IT AGAIN!!!

That bitch that says that's voice iz just too funny! My Rating: 4.8

That fuckin' Max always stays fresh wit his swag and his rhymes! Max DEFINITELY did his thang on this joint. Scoob doin' a GREAT job too!! Yeah, Max told us "we so on." Great quote! My Rating: 4.8


13. "Let Me Call My Lawyer" Feat. Young Ready
OMG MORE Young Ready!!!! *Checks* 5 times Young Ready was on this bitch and now he's on here a *SCREAMS* 6TH TIME!!!!! VERY HUGE ANTICIPATION!!!!! >>> A slowly fadin' in intro (lol @ me typin' "in" 3 times in a row in 3 different words, lol). TIGHT beat (typical Baton Rouge beat) and love tha beginning wit C-Loc and tha "knock knock!" Great verse by C-Loc!!! TIGHT HOOK!!! FUCKIN' Young Ready on tha 2nd verse!! He said "knock knock" in tha beginning too!! He's TOO FUCKIN' GREAT!!!!! "112 bullet shells wit no fingerprints;" I swear, this dude (Young Ready) KEEPS DELIVERIN' THAT REAL RAW SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KILLED his verse again!!! Yes, C-Loc on tha 3rd verse! Great 3rd verse and FUCKIN' AWESOME collabo!!! My Rating: 4.9

C-Loc doin' his thang in tha beginning!! Sounds pretty good so far but it's interesting to listen to! Yeah Young Ready, you DEFINITELY "got buku bitches!" LOL @ "once I rip that rubber off, I shoot tha semen on that belly." YOUNG READY IZ TOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna support him 'til tha day I'm gone!!! I got Young Ready's back all day, err-day, ya heard me!! Was gonna give this a small 4.0ish rating but Young Ready's verse was too much so I had to make tha rating a lil' better!!! My Rating: 4.6


15. "Rata Tata (Radio)" Feat. Max Minelli & Young Ready
Same song as before on tha CD? *Gets a lil' upset* I thought it was a different song. I guess it's good to put tha radio edit on here. I'll just put a "& No. 15" next to tha dirty version when I reviewed that one. From now on, any clean versions on a CD will just say "go read No. (whateva; tha same song) to see tha review" on here.


Overall:
End Time: 7:57 PM. Well C-Loc, looks like you have STATISTICALLY tha BEST CD I've EVA reviewed!!! If I averaged tha ratings, it would easily, statistically be tha highest 'cause tha lowest was 4.2 and tha rest were at least a 4.6 (which means I OBSESSIVELY loved every song but 1; one I just loved). VERY GREAT CD and this iz tha 5th CD I had all 4.0 or higher ratings, today bein' 3 IN A ROW!!!!!!! Keep doin' yo thang and don't think tha reviews for you iz over, lol!!!

© 2008 CD Review (Review #118) reviewed on 9.21.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "B.R. King (Intro)"
Let's see what kinda "B.R. king" you are! >>> You sound great on tha "What You Know" beat. I like that you said "dawg" twice so far on this. I really like when people say "dawg." Yes, you said it 3 more times so far (as well as in tha hook)! You know I gon fuck wit you dawg. That singin' on tha hook iz great. Wow you said "dawg" so many otha times on this! That's prolly a record for number of times "dawg" was said in a song. Thumbs up to ya. Sounded great for an intro and even better, tha ending ended wit "hum bruh" (echoing). GREAT SHIT!! My Rating: 4.5


Break: I took about an unexpected ½ hour break to text one of my gurlz Alicia about these CDs I'm makin' her. Then I had to eat lunch. Now back to tha CD!


02. "You Don't Want It"
Lemme hear what else you got to bring to tha table…! >>> Yeah, DEFINITELY "rockin' wit tha big dawg, big dawg!!" Great start and I'm feelin' that beat! FUCKIN' LOVIN' Baton Rouge's music PLUS tha people from B.R. be showin' me A LOT OF RESPECT by keepin' in touch wit me (B-Raw, Young Ready, Nu$ie's manager A1, Kevin Gates's manager, DeTrane, Lil' Doonie, my God, there's too many. There might be more)!! I liked that "Addams Family" line. My 39 year old disabled (might be severly Autistic) aunt iz OBSESSED wit tha Addams Family. Tight hook and great verses!! My Rating: 4.3


03. "My Block"
What happens on ur block dawg? Lemme find out! >>> Ooh a GREAT intro!! Ooh it's gettin' darker!! Tha beat iz REAL TIGHT and I FUCKIN' LOVE all tha weed/trap shit in tha hook! Tha "drank/dro" part reminded me/sounded like someone else who might've said that (can't remember). This shit iz CRAZY!!! Fuckin' beat and that TIGHT C-Loc rappin'!!! Tha hook iz one of tha best I eva heard!!! Love tha whole fuckin' song SO MUCH that it's worth a PERFECT RATING by me!!! My Rating: 5.0


04. "If Ya Solid"
Looks like anotha great title! Tha "solid" part reminded me of some crack but I think tha title iz goin' into a more "if ya straight" direction (if I'm right). Definitely anticipated to hear it after that HOT "My Block" joint!! >>> Yes, tha length iz pretty long (4:32). LOVE that beat in tha intro! It's nice and dark. Actually, it's a lil' dark wit tha organ, mixed wit a somewhat country Rap style. It doesn't say tha female's name in tha ID but she sounds pretty good on tha hook. You had a great 1st verse dawg. I like tha "egg & cheese" part in tha beginning of tha 2nd verse. My Rating: 4.1


Anotha Break: I just had to clear out a lot of text messages from my phone 'cause it was full. I'm back and it's 4:00 PM now.


05. "I'm Good"
You're not just "good"… YOU'RE FUCKIN' GREAT!! No wonder why you fuck wit Young Ready! It's 'cause tha both of ya'll kick a lot of ass!! Lookin' forward to this one! >>> It's tha "Move Around" (B.G. & Mannie Fresh) beat. What will you do on it…? Dunn dunn dunn… You made it sound different from tha "bread & balogna" original hook. You had a TIGHT 1st verse! You fuckin' tight dawg! Yeah, "Max Minelli" iz good (whoeva said that at tha end). This was tight throughout tha whole way! Givin' ya a lot of props dawg 'cause you tight, no matter what beat it iz! My Rating: 4.4


06. "Boobie Traps"
This should be real interesting wit that great title!! >>> Yes, that Louisiana style beat in tha beginning! It's creeping up! Likin' tha "*insert*, *insert*, *insert*, oh my!" parts! Definitely interesting hook and I feel like I'm with you on a journey wit this song! This iz somethin' that I really like: pretendin' I'm on a journey wit tha rapper while tha song's playin' 'cause of how good it iz!! "When you 100 wit me, I'm 100 wit you;" great line right there! I'm bein' 100 wit you wit what I'm sayin' right now, ya heard me! I'm feelin' tha ending where there's barely any of tha beat and just sound effects!! VERY GOOD track right here!!! My Rating: 4.8


07. "Shit Got Damn"
Wonder what's wrong… It's Lucky No. 7 anywayz. >>> Sounds like a low quality, nice Baton Rouge beat. You tha "big dawg" I see (since you always say it). I'm glad I'm doin' this for you and I hope you love this review. Tha lyrics are REAL TIGHT!! VERY GOOD song about havin' sex!! You tha shit!!! Hot joint! My Rating: 4.5


08. "My World"
Another "my" song! Let's keep learnin' about my dawg C-Loc!! >>> Over that old Yo Gotti "Full Time" beat so this'll be interesting! Started off tha verse wit "dawg" so this should be more anticipating! Hearin' somethin' about "gunplay" and shit. Real tight to hear about this! LMAO @ tha "in my world"s!! Great voice effect for that! You had a REAL, REAL TIGHT 1st verse!! Great hook! Wow, tha 2nd verse started wit "dawg" also. Damn, I fucks wit you BIG TIME!! Great 2nd verse too! My Rating: 4.8


½time: What a GREAT START to a mixtape!! My God, 2 songs wit a 4.8 rating and 1 song wit a 5.0 rating! I HOPE you keep it up my dawg!!


09. "Be A Real Nigga" Feat. Big Head
This a great title. I'm not black but I can relate to that title 'cause I keep it real 100. Fuck bein' shy (which I am 'cause of my Autism/Aspergers)! It's all about tha hidden skillz I have (people in person don't realize tha skillz I have for these reviewz)!! Lookin' forward to hearin' this REAL HOT joint!!! >>> Usin' tha "I Need Dubs" beat this time. I don't give a fuck about tha jacked beats 'cause you RIP them!!! Great 1st verse as you kept tha lyrics real!! Why did they leave Big Head outta tha ID? He sounds great on his verse! He had a great verse and I'm glad he handled tha 2nd hook. You had a great 3rd verse too. Great collabo! Why was there 20 seconds of silence? My Rating: 4.2


10. "Got 'Em In A Headlock (Max Minelli Solo)"
What's this "Max Minelli Solo"ness? Iz he takin' over a whole track on your mixtape? >>> Tight beat intro and I hear my boy Max Minelli in tha beginning! He's takin' tha track ova!!! Great 1st verse, great verse and tha whole track iz just bangin'!! Great beat too! Great idea to have someone take ova a whole track on your mixtape! That's different and it was greatly unexpected to see Max Minelli take a whole track ova on your CD! My Rating: 4.3


11. "Game Ain't Playin'"
That's right! Lemme hear your words about it! >>> Tha "Trap Or Die" beat so this should be interesting on your behalf! Hook iz fuckin' tight and iz tha PERFECT advice for those hustlaz out there! Great joint and tha whole thang was consistant! My Rating: 4.4


12. "In My Lifetime" Feat. Reno Da Gutta
I accidently played No. 13 before No. 12. Let's see what we got here… >>> Reno's featured on it? Cool. Beat intro sounds tight. Liked all those "uh"s Reno was sayin' in tha beginning. I'm definitely feelin' all tha time he says "dawg." Reno my dawg also. TIGHT 1st verse from him and I'm glad he's on tha hook 'cause he makes tha shit sound hot!! He was even on tha 2nd verse! How great!! My dawg C-Loc here on tha 3rd verse, sayin' "dawg" a lot of times! Great verse from you and nice hook from you! I like how tha beat ended tha last 48 seconds! My Rating: 4.7


13. "Solid Nigga" Feat. E Vicious
Wasn't No. 9 a joint wit a lot of "solid nigga" parts in it? I guess this iz tha sequel. Lookin' forward! >>> Good beat intro! Now that I hear you in tha beginning, this joint, I'm sure, gon be tha shit!! LOL @ tha "Baton Rouge police department sick of you." That sux that you have been caught wit shit several times. But you a "big dawg" so you keep stayin' on yo grind, ya heard me! Vicious sounds great on this and I'm glad tha both of ya'll shared tha 3rd verse. Wow, Vicious killin' tha 3rd verse!! My Rating: 4.4


14. "Loc And Lex" Feat. Lex
Looks interesting so let's see what's goin' on… >>> Very quiet in tha beginning (I can here myself type, lol). So Lex iz tha featured artist (I had a feelin' 'cause he was in tha title)? He's got a deeper voice and still sounds tight like you. Interesting slow track right here. My Rating: 4.1


15. "Who The Realest"
You are definitely one of "tha realest", ya dig!! >>> Feelin' tha HOT beat and tha hook so far! Great 1st verse and that hook iz just TIGHT and tha truth! I like that screwed voice at tha end of tha hook! Nice track right here!! My Rating: 4.5


16. "Outro (Max Minelli Solo)"
Anotha Max Minelli solo joint! He's got yo back I see! That's watz good. High anticipation for it, especially since it's tha last song and tha No. 16 song (since I always have faith in No. 16)!! >>> VERY OLD "D-Boy" beat by Young Jeezy. That was tha FUCKIN' SHIT!! Yeah Max, you gon do this "way way way way way colder!!" Great 1st verse and great hook so far! I like tha "nigga, nigga what?" part in tha hook. Great shit to end it with! My Rating: 4.5


Overall: End Time: 5:08 PM. Wow, ANOTHA GREAT CD!! This iz tha 4th time I've had a CD/mixtape have all 4.0 ratings or higher (which means I love every song)!!! And how great: this was tha 2nd one IN A ROW wit all 4.0 or higher ratings!!! Tha last one I did was tha Tha Camp "Break It Off!" CD. GREAT SHIT C-Loc!! You a REAL GOOD rapper and I hope you keep doin' yo thang!! I also hope you really like this review too!!

Review #117: Tha Camp "Break It Off!"

Reviewed on 9.21.2008 (Review No. 117)


Watz good it's ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog in tha buildin' right now, VERY early (for a review that iz) at 10:17 AM. Damn, it's startin' to get cold now (it's 58 degrees out). Anyway, that doesn't do shit to my reviewz, ya dig! What I'm about to review iz Tha Camp (a.k.a. Camp 5 a.k.a. Concentration Camp 5) and their 2007 CD "Break It Off!". Before I get into it, I just wanna thank Young Ready SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH for tha whole letter response he wrote me!! It's a blessing and it means a WHOLE LOT to me 'cause I have Autism/Aspergers (social disability) and I went to Lackawanna College from Fall 2006 – Spring 2008. It was my debut in tha urban world (which I really liked), where there was a lot of black people (neva got to hang out wit any 'til then). I thought I made a whole lotta friends but I wound up makin' like 10. So many people bullshitted me as a person and when it came to writing them on Myspace, most of them would ignore me or write me a very short sentence response. It's like, "where tha fuck iz their excitement level when it comes to hearin' from me in a while?" I wrote someone that I thought I was close to on Myspace 5 different times in tha Summer and they didn't write me back. Then weeks later, I wrote them anotha 5 different times, which included why I had to leave them when I visited them, one to hang out and one to ask about tutoring. They didn't write me back so I texted them, sayin' "did you get my Myspace messages? You haven't wrote me back and they were important." They texted me sayin' "relax Frankie dnt txt me on some shit like that but u never even sent me nothin important." WTF? Meanwhile they write people on Myspace CONSTANTLY every single day. Fuck! I sure made some gay-ass friends right? That sure PISSED ME OFF so I was like "fuck makin' friends! It's all about makin' friends in tha music business!" That's why I support people like my dawg Young Ready, and many people in Louisiana A LOT MORE!! They respect me more (and I neva met them in person; it doesn't matter)!! Now, time for tha anticipated review! Here goes my review for Tha Camp "Break It Off!". BTW, thanx to MMX from http://www.wordofsouth.com/myblock (a Baton Rouge member on that message board that I post all my reviewz on), he uploaded tha mixtape for me and I got a tracklisting, thanx to it bein' on anotha message board!

© 2008 CD Review (Review #117) reviewed on 9.21.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. Intro
Let's hear tha intro… I'm anticipated a whole lot!! >>> Yeah C-Loc, I finna "keep it 100 wit Tha Camp" and I do "enjoy that g-shit." C-Loc made this CD MORE anticipating for me and later on (I HOPE TODAY), I'm gonna review 3 CDs of his: "Tha King Of BR (Bootleg)" from 2006, "Under That Old Law" from 2007 and "Anybody Can Get It" from 2008. Can't wait to get into these jointz!!! My Rating: N/A


02. "Act A Nut" Feat. B-Real, Max Minelli & C-Loc
Look at all this shit in one joint!! This gon be REAL TIGHT I bet'cha! Lemme hear it wit anticipation!! >>> Good long intro wit that Baton Rouge sound in it! Even tha vocals are VERY Louisianaish!! Uh oh, I have to take a 3 minute break right now 'cause on Music Choice Dance, certain old songs come on once every 2 months (I call 'em "rare songs") and outta like 300 songs, there's like 7 that are real special and right now, Origene "Sanctuary (Rich's Radio Edit)" iz on right now!! Damn, this couldn't've happened to anyone better than Young Ready (who this iz for). This actually happened on another review I did: Big Jay Presents "Pyrex Radio Vol. 5: Back To The Money". I was on Track No. 2 (LOL, just like this CD) and it was Shell Of 3Deep wit tha intro track. This just makes me wanna say: "FREE YOUNG READY ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" You'll be outta jail before you know it and now I'm in a VERY GOOD mood to review this CD!!!!! *Gets back to tha CD* DEFINITELY was feelin' that 1st verse! It had a NICE vibe to it. Just makes tha track sound nice! That hook iz TIGHT wit everything bein' said! Yeah, Max Minelli iz on tha 2nd verse!! He actually was nice enough to respond to my review I did for his "The Remedy" CD. I was REAL glad he did that on May 28, 2008! Max had a GREAT verse, even though I liked tha 1st verse and tha hook better. Feelin' tha "blow that purp/move that work" part in tha hook!! Ooh C-Loc, "fuckin' a dike!!" LOL! Good verse but it unexpectedly ended. I rank tha verses as so: 1st: B-Real; 2nd: Max Minelli; 3rd: C-Loc. C-Loc came hard on tha hook though! My Rating: 4.6


03. "Do It" Feat. C-Loc, Young Ready & Tank Jones
So this iz mainly C-Loc's joint (according to tha Amazon.com IDs). Let's see how my boy "does it"! >>> YEAH more of that Louisiana sounding!!! YEAH!! LOL @ all tha "do it, do it"s. Beat iz tight. Tha 1st verse was nice and tha hook iz growin' on me. Feelin' tha "do it"s wit tha beat! That's you (Young Ready) on tha 2nd verse! Definitely feelin' it!! I'm glad you "fuckin' wit 3Deep" 'cause Shell was anotha one that responded to one of my reviews (tha "First 6 Months (The Mixtape)" mixtape of 3Deep's). Great verse Young Ready and fuckin' shame on tha message board (that I'm gettin' tha tracklisting from) for not SOURCIN' Young Ready in tha song!! That was a great 3rd verse also by Tank Jones! Great joint right here! My Rating: 4.3


04. "Feds In Town" Feat. C-Loc, Young Crucial & Young Ready
You know I DEFINITELY fucks wit tha title so anticipation right here!! C-Loc, HIDE from tha feds!! >>> Yes anotha great beat!!! I can't believe "they be closin' down some shops." That sux, but tha shops survive here and there! Feelin' tha 1st verse (wit all tha lyrics about what tha feds be doin'). Tha hook iz tight! I always love any line that says "36 o's" 'cause Joey Jihad & Meek Mill (from Philly) had a joint called "Bossman" and that was in tha hook (36 o's) and I played that song 613 record-setting times so I always like hearin' that. Feelin' tha 2nd verse too, especially since Young Crucial iz cautious! EDIT: Sounds like you on tha 3rd verse about "keepin' your junkie medicine." Too bad your neighbors were "fuckin' nosy." At least Young Ready iz still hustlin'! Anthem right there for anybody that needs to evade tha feds! My Rating: 4.5


05. "Drop Ya Nuts" Feat. C-Loc, Young Ready & Young Crucial
Again C-Loc!! I thought there was gonna be more of Young Ready on here but I'm glad to hear more of C-Loc also! Title looks like it gon be expectin' a NICE rating from me again! High anticipation level!! >>> YES ANOTHA FUCKIN' HOT BEAT!!!!! LOL @ tha "ya NUTS!!" Sounds like a Young Ready flow on tha 1st verse! EDIT: It iz (I can tell). Fuckin' tracklisting wit not sourcin'! That's why I'm here so I can source thingz tha RIGHT way!! LOL @ tha "sit yo stupid ass down!" Definitely feelin' this right here!! VERY good 1st verse and I'm feelin' tha "now take that"s 'cause I feel like that in tha video game I'm playin'. I'm just attackin' monsters and killin' 'em. So that's Young Crucial on tha 2nd verse? What's wit tha fuckin' tracklisting not IDin' certain peeps? Good 3rd verse too. Tha hook iz just great wit a passion!! My Rating: 4.6


06. "1 Rubber" Feat. Young Ready, C-Loc & Max Minelli
Saw tha title somewhere. *Rechecks Myspaces* Okay, it's your Myspace (Young Ready's). UGH, fuckin' tracklisting error again (just lists Max Minelli on tha feature)! Too many errors so I'm just gonna ignore 'em! I'm guessin' C-Loc's on it too 'cause Amazon has him listed (yeah, I'm comparing 2 different sites wit different featured artists listed. But very high anticipation on this joint!! >>> Yes it's almost 5 minutes long (4:58 on tha length) and tha beat iz tight! Sounds like some "let's fuck" type of shit!! That's you on tha hook Ready. Sounds tight, 'specially at tha end wit tha "1 rubber in my pocket!!" LOL @ tha "whipped it out them boxers line." You're tha FUCKIN' SHIT Young Ready!!! I GOT SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUCKIN' RESPECT for you!! I got yo back all day, err-day dawg. You FUCKIN' deserve everything you want, ya dig!! Great 1st verse and tha hook iz tight! Very consistant wit this CD! Sounds like C-Loc on tha 2nd verse! I like tha "girbaud pockets" line. Cool shit!! Cool that Max Minelli iz on tha 3rd verse! He sounds like he's real serious about tha song!! He did his thang and this whole fuckin' song iz TIIIIIIGHT!!! My Rating: 4.8


07. "Floating For Ya" Feat. Young Ready, C-Loc & Young Crucial
Iz this anotha female song? *Question mark appears in my head* >>> Ooh anotha long length and great piano in tha beginning! Ooh that's my dawg Young Ready on tha hook!! C-Loc startin' tha verses off! Yeah, "you and Young Ready act a clown." I'm glad you keepin' that dumb shit comin'!! Young Ready makin' that hook soundin' tight! YEAH FUCKIN' Young Ready on tha 2nd verse!!! You started tha verse off wit some of your "Gangsta Bow" hook! Great!! You're TOO FUCKIN' GREAT!!! Yeah, "if you hit someone wit tha heat, they will rest in peace." You did yo FUCKIN' THANG on tha 2nd verse and I like you sayin' "you stupid ma'fucka" in tha hook 'cause that proves that you're not playin'!! Tha 3rd verse was good too! I gotta figure out who that iz… Maybe I just have to hear more features. Then I'll know. EDIT: After hearin' No. 9, I figured out it was Young Crucial! I hope I'm right and I'm glad I figured it out!! My Rating: 4.7


08. "I Ain't Hurting" Feat. C-Loc, E Vicious, Young Dreezy & Max Minelli
This looks like a mega-collabo! Lookin' forward to it!! >>> Everytime I hear a beat from Baton Rouge, it always captures me. Pretty good 1st verse. It's decent so far but I don't feel it like tha otha jointz on here. Like that line from Max Minelli: "up tha ladder to success;" nice! I like how he referenced you when he said "I'm an 80's baby like my nigga Young Ready." Was almost not gonna give it at least a 4.0 rating but "my boy" (as he would say) Max Minelli saved tha song! My Rating: 4.0


½time: I'm takin' my time wit this. That's 'cause I want my dawg Young Ready to get as many words as possible! He needs this shit to read while he's in jail! I'mma make sure he gets what he wants. BTW, this CD iz REAL, REAL HOT SO FAR!!!!!


09. "Get Loose" Feat. B-Real, Young Ready, Max Minelli & Reno Da Gutta
I had to go downstairs to get some banana split creme oreos. FUCKIN' LOVE 'EM!!! Anyway, looks like a club banger… I expect hotness!! >>> Here comes those "absorbin'-in" beats!! Sounds like you on tha 1st verse Ready!! Just tha way you flow on tha track iz CRAZY!! Always gets me bobbin' back 'n forth!! Fuckin' love it!!! Ooh, Max Minelli comin' through HARD!! "His nerves bad!" I'm glad his nerves are bad for this track 'cause it works to make tha track sound better! Reno soundin' pretty good on tha 3rd verse. This whole joint was nice!! Glad err-body collaborated and that you FUCKIN' KILLED IT on tha 1st verse Young Ready!! My Rating: 4.5


10. "Stay In Ya League" Feat. C-Loc, Young Crucial & Reno Da Gutta
I wonder who else iz on this besides C-Loc. Feelin' tha title! >>> Ooh a good beat again! Tha hook iz tight! Feelin' it! That was a tight 1st verse. This iz jammin' right here! I'm tryna ID who everyone iz. Tha 2nd verse iz good and tha 2nd ½ of it sounds a lot better wit whoeva that iz (gotta look back to see who it iz). GREAT 2nd ½ of tha verse, especially that "6 in tha mornin', police kickin' in tha drug house" line!! My Rating: 4.5


11. "Street Life" Feat. Young Crucial, Tre Virdure, Young Ready & C-Loc
Damn, these IDs are drivin' me nuts! I just spent a few minutes tryna figure out exactly who was on tha otha songs on this CD. I hope I got 'em all right. Anyway, let's hear about tha "street life". I'm anticipated! >>> Anotha great beat! I can't say it enough! LOL @ "grams in my underwear." That's tha way to do it! Good lookin' on hidin' that shit 'cause I hope you enjoyin' it! That sounds like Young Crucial on tha 1st verse. Great shit! I'm guessin' Tre iz tha singer on tha hook? Sounds good! YES Young Ready CAME OUTTA NOWHERE ON THA 2nd VERSE!!! What a great surprise to come outta nowhere!!! I DO HOPE you get a "7 digit salary" soon!! Fuckin' GREAT that you were on this joint!! It fit REAL GOOD and you spit that FIYA, ya heard me!!! C-Loc spittin' some hot shit on tha 3rd verse! Great shit!! My Rating: 4.7


12. "Work Ya Wrist" Feat. Young Crucial, C-Loc & Young Ready
Looks like anotha club banger, or should I say "Baton Rouge local banger". Feelin' tha Louisiana local bangerz and I know this'll be anotha one! I HOPE I can figure out everyone on here!! >>> Young Crucial right in tha beginning again! Tha beat iz TIGHT!! I'm feelin' that beginning a WHOLE LOT wit tha "put tha coke in tha pyrex/add tha baking soda…" line!! Great 1st verse and I'm glad that "pyrex/baking soda" line iz a part of tha hook!! Love it!!! Ewe C-Loc on tha 2nd verse!! Yeah! BTW, when I said "ewe," it's a sayin' to where somethin' either funny, odd or unexpected comes outta nowhere in a good or weird way. This was meant to be in a good way when I said "ewe C-Loc on tha 2nd verse!!" He did good though! I had a feelin' you were on tha 3rd verse but I gotta do some research to figure it out. EDIT: Yeah, sounds like you Ready. Sounded good though! My Rating: 4.6


13. "Ratha Be" Feat. Young Ready, Young Crucial & C-Loc
Anotha ID puzzle (since it only says "Feat. C-Loc"). Lookin' forward to hearin' what this sounds like! >>> Sounds like a different beat. Sounds like my ma'fuckin' dawg Young Ready on tha 1st verse! Feelin' tha beat a lil' more since you flowin' on it. You did yo thang on tha 1st verse! Just fuckin', FUCKIN' LOVE tha way you rap and your flowin'!! Sounds like Young Crucial iz on tha 2nd verse… Pretty good 2nd verse. Ewe (in a good way) C-Loc again on tha 3rd verse this time!! Did pretty good. My Rating: 4.2


14. "Move Around" Feat. Max Minelli, Young Ready & B-Real
B-Real's back. Max iz too. I wonder who's missin' outta tha ID on this? I'll figure it out! >>> B-Real on tha beat! Oh tha intro tellin' me who's in tha whole camp: C-Loc, Max Minelli, Young Ready, Reno Da Gutta, Young Crucial & B-Real. That's tha whole camp. Tha beat sounds tight. Max Minelli starts tha 1st verse off… Glad "his flow caught a fever!" He did good. My ma'fuckin' DAWG Young Ready on tha 2nd verse!! Yeah, you'll DEFINITELY "leave a body by tha interstate." That's how RAW you are when it comes to tha raps, ya dig!! I guess tha 3rd verse was from B-Real. Pretty good. Tha hook was pretty good too. My Rating: 4.4


15. "Hustler" Feat. Young Crucial, C-Loc, Young Ready & Max Minelli
C-Loc's on here wit who else? Gonna have to figure it out again! Lookin' forward to hearin' this one!! >>> Anotha different beat. I hear someone Jamaican in tha background/intro. Young Crucial starts off on tha 1st verse this time… He did his thang on his verse, especially at tha end wit "leavin' his nuts hang." That's brave of him. Sounds like my dawg Young Ready next! Yeah, you deserve to "keep an ace of spades." And Max Minelli on this too! This iz tha 1st time tha stupid tracklisting I'm lookin' at didn't source Max Minelli. He's doin' his thang though! My Rating: 4.4


16. "Get Out My Face" Feat. C-Loc, Reno Da Gutta & Young Ready
Damn, this tracklisting LOVES C-Loc 'cause he's not missin' on most of tha tracks's IDs. Anyway, this iz tha last joint and it looks like it gon be a tight one!! >>> Anotha great beat and great to end it! FUCKIN' LOVIN' THIS UNDERGROUND SHIT!!!!! Lovin' tha whole hook, especially tha "MAN, GET YO BITCH-ASS OUT MY FACE!!" Ewe C-Loc starts it off! Definitely delivered tightness! That FUCKIN' HOOK iz so TIGHT!!! That's Reno on tha 2nd verse. He's definitely deliverin' some tight shit! YES FUCKIN' Young Ready ENDS THA FUCKIN' CD wit tha last verse!!! That's a gift for me!! That's it, tha song iz ova and you ended it!! You did yo thang and this was TIGHT! Tha hook I thought was tha best part! I always have faith in tha No. 16 song on any CD/mixtape and look what happened! My Rating: 4.8


Overall: End Time: 1:33 PM. MY GOD, what a REALLY HOT CD!! And this iz a first for a CD: I rated EVERY SINGLE SONG at least a 4.0 rating or higher!! That means I loved every single song!! Tha otha 2 times it happened was back in March 2008 wit 2 mixtapes. This iz tha 1st time it was a CD!! Congrats to Young Ready and Tha Camp for puttin' this REALLY HOT CD out! DEFINITELY addin' it to my iPod (my iPod's in LOVE wit all this underground Louisiana shit)!! I wish you tha BEST in luck and I HOPE you really, REALLY like this review. BTW, this was tha hardest review I eva did (hardest meanin' figuring out who's who on what 'cause that was a lot of work). I HOPE I got all tha IDs right! It was DEFINITELY worth it and I did it for you dawg. If it was someone wack, I wouldn't've even BOTHERED!! Everytime I look at tha letter you wrote me, it just brings a big smile to my face 'cause it's just AMAZING!!! One of tha BEST thingz of 2008/what a music artist has did to me! I'll be lookin' forward to tha next one!!
