Review #144: C-Coop "Welcome 2 Goonsville"

Reviewed on 10.31.2008 (Review No. 144)


It's FrankieThaLuckyDog… I'm back! Things have been real tight (in a bad way, not good) wit college and my upcoming single/music video, "Change Tha World." Too much shit goin' on and it feels like I ain't got time for reviews and shit during Monday – Wednesday. Anyway, lemme get these reviews outta tha way for today. This iz for my dawg C-Coop. Let's see how he did on this 2nd mixtape I'm hearin' from him. Here goes my review for C-Coop "Welcome 2 Goonsville"! I see some titles that indicate me that there's "jacked beat" songs on here. Hopefully there's not too much and that there's that original C-Coop shit on here to help make this day a great Halloween and a better day than that shitty-ass day I had yesterday! Start Time: 10:16 AM | 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 #144) reviewed on 10.31.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "Welcome 2 Goonsville Intro"
Let's see how this thang gon start off… >>> LOL @ tha "world of Tennessee" sample playin' in tha background. Glad you sellin' that work "by tha pound" and shit like that; good shit Coop. Likin' tha rappin' to this one and this was a nice, slow 2:55 start to what could be an anticipating mixtape. My Rating: 3.8


02. "Warzone"
Interesting title. Let's see how you handle thangz here… >>> I thought this was a new beat but I heard tha Drumma Boy sound. Either way, it's new to me (I think) so you know I'll look forward to it wit you on it. Speakin' of "a certified goon," it was a year and 3 dayz ago on October 28, 2007 that I made you your "Certified Goon" video for tha 1st time (when it was un-mastered); that was a great day. Not bad on tha 1st verse but I always enjoy tha way you rap/flow/your voice on tracks. Likin' that hook as it goes hard. Nice line here when you said "block iz hot like a fever;" good shit from tha one dude that doesn't fuckin' play games (my ma'fuckin' dawg C-Coop)! My Rating: 4.5


03. "He Ain't Real"
I heard "Dey Know" beat in tha beginning and I thought at first, "this I got a real long time ago (11 months ago to be exact)." However, that one from 11 months ago was called "In Tha Ground;" this iz "He Ain't Real." Are they tha same songs? Lemme find out! >>> LOL @ tha small 1:24 length… Different than tha previous one. Yeah, "write your lyrics before you get killed;" great advice to those that don't write their lyrics! I also like tha "leap like a frog" line. Damn, you're goin' faster than what I'm quoting/typing; good shit! I'm likin' this one a lil' better than tha one from last year! I like that your voice iz louder on this one and your flowin' was continuous! My Rating: 4.3


04. "Fuck What Ya Heard" Feat. Lil' Zee
Which one has tha correct IDs? Tha mp3s (it says "Fuck What Ya Heard") or tha back cover to tha CD (says just "Ya Heard")? I'm goin' wit tha back cover when it comes to tha IDs for this. Anyway, let's see tha 1st collabo here… >>> Likin' that unexpected whistle in tha beginning. Glad you got tha "dark locs on 'cause you rollin'" to prevent those snitches! Not bad on tha 1st verse C-Coop. Didn't realize tha hook was Lil' Zee's part (I thought he had tha beginning of tha 1st verse); pretty nice on his part. I think this'll be ID'd as "Fuck What Ya Heard" 'cause that looks better than a title for this. Nice 2nd verse and cool part from Lil' Zee on tha hook. Also likin' that beat (of course). My Rating: 4.1
EDIT: Just like I said in tha middle of reviewin' this joint, I'm gonna prolly stick wit tha IDs on tha mp3 files 'cause tha back cover looks like tha IDs are shorter on tha titles.


05. "Paid" Feat. Swidda G
And yeah, sometimes I'll use tha cover to see if there's a featured artist and it's not listed on tha mp3 (like this one). Heard it, played it a few times and now it's time to hear it again! BTW, I couldn't figure out who was featured on this at first but now I know it's my dude Swidda G! >>> What's tha guy in tha beginning (sounded like he said "it's tha cool" or somethin' like that)? That was tha same guy in tha beginning of "Fuck What Ya Heard". Anyway, it's a nice beat wit a nice hook that just came in outta nowhere. I'm glad "you're makin' so much money" and that you'd "slap a ma'fucka wit it." Nice 1st verse and great hook again. Now of course, Swidda G has that fiya on this joint. He EASILY took ova this joint; what a REAL TIGHT VERSE THAT WENT HARD!!! You had a great 3rd verse by tha way Coop. Easily, this went to Swidda G for tha best verse (BTW, best verse on this mixtape so far)! I heard tha guy at tha end again; iz he sayin' "Mr. Coop"? My Current Rating: 4.4


06. "Tha Greatest" Feat. Loose Cannon
I already know how "great" you are Coop; let's hear it in a song! >>> Better beat intro here; sounds better than a bunch of tha other beats on here so far. Likin' that hook from you. Now, I'm hearin' Loose Cannon on tha 1st verse… Unexpectedly murderin' this shit right here! He had a REAL NICE verse right there!! Really likin' this beat and now hearin' you on tha 2nd verse… Yeah, "you tha muthafuckin' truth, boy." Definitely likin' your 2nd verse; keep doin' this HOT shit wit all your collab friends Coop! My Rating: 4.5


07. "Hold It Down" Feat. Loose Cannon, Lil' Zee & Swidda G
Ooh you COMBINED all tha collabs on here into one track!! I have a feelin' this gon be a long-ass song so I'm REALLY lookin' forward to it! Definitely Lucky No. 7 here but tha only thing that'll lose my anticipation: if it's "A Milli" beat, then I'll be bored; that's just a quick warning. >>> Yup, long (6:38 on tha length). It's tha "Tomorrow" beat for this; should be interesting wit all y'all on this! Of course, you're first on tha hook. Yup, "Lauderdale in tha building." Here comes that 1st verse… Glad that dude's "cooler than a game of hockey." Yeah, it's my dude Loose Cannon on tha 1st verse! He's doin' tha ma'fuckin' thang again!! He had a REAL GREAT verse; can it be tha best on this joint? You're next Coop on tha 2nd verse… Yeah, you went hard on this too! Gotta feel all tha shit you be spittin'; tha haterz would prolly say that you repeat thingz but nothin' bothers me wit you. Lil' Zee on tha 3rd verse… Well, a lil' decent for me. Against tha others, he was my least favorite on this joint. I'm really lookin' forward to hear what Swidda G has to say on tha 4th verse!! He'll "bake pastery-ass niggaz like a cinnabon;" now THAT WAS A REAL TIGHT LINE!! I like at tha end of his verse that you said "you need it? We got it" like one of your songs in tha past that I loved. Yeah, Swidda G did tha damn thang on this! I think Loose Cannon had tha best part on this but Swidda G had a close 2nd easily. My Rating: 4.6


08. "Iz He High" Feat. Lil' Zee
LOL @ tha title! You know I finna luv this joint right chea!! >>> Not sure if tha beat caught my attention right away but Lil' Zee definitely had a nice lil' hook right there! Yeah, you're on tha 1st verse Coop wit all that "sticky" shit. Glad all that shit iz gettin' you in a "high" mood Coop; short but great 1st verse! Lil' Zee has a pretty nice 2nd verse; likin' it easily. BTW, I'm gettin' in this "simple" beat more and more; it's great for tha track! Real nice track overall! My Rating: 4.4


09. "Kash Flow" Feat. Loose Cannon
I might've heard your version on a Youtube video you posted a while ago… Lookin' forward to re-hearin' wit Loose Cannon on tha track too! >>> I like how Loose Cannon STOPPED Ace Hood on tha 1st verse!! Pretty fast and short but he did a good job. Too bad y'all kept tha T-Pain part. You should've made your own hook (like you always do). Anyway, looks like you're on tha 2nd verse… Good part from you on this. My Rating: 3.7


10. "So Insane" Feat. Lil' Zee & Swidda G
Of course I really like tha title so I'm real curious to see how good this one gon be! >>> Ooh, it's 5:02 on tha length! I'm likin' that beat on here! Pretty nice start from you. Looks like I hear Lil' Zee… He sounds great on this one. Yeah, he did his thang on his part. You're on tha 2nd verse here… Good shit from you. It feels like I hear that hook so much on this shit (not in a bad way though). Now, here's my dawg Swidda G on tha 3rd verse! Yeah, most definitely keepin' it real and goin' off (as usual) on this shit! My Rating: 4.2


11. "Some More" Feat. DJ
So tha featured artist iz just named "DJ"? That's different… Instead of somethin' like "DJ ___" or "Lil' ___" or "Big ___" or "Young ___," they're just "DJ," lol. Now, let's see how much "more" you gon deliver wit this dude here… >>> Huh? A phone call…? Might be a "jacked beat" but I can't tell. Somethin' sounds familiar on it but I'm gonna pretend it's your beat. Sounds pretty nice so far for a start. I like how DJ started tha 1st verse off wit "it'll neva end; my dick iz not a period." What a great endin' to that line wit tha "not a period" part 'cause a period "ends things" and tha way it was said in that line made it tight; great shit from DJ! You're pretty good on tha hook Coop. Now, I'm hearin' you on tha 2nd verse… You definitely pleased tha ladies wit that 2nd verse! Nice how tha beat ended this joint. My Rating: 4.0


½time: Definitely a nice start so far! Your voice ALWAYS gives tha mixtapes that quality sound; jacked beats or 3rd Court beats! Keep doin' tha damn thang. BTW, I hope to hear more original 3rd Court beats comin' up!


12. "3rd Court Iz Tha Label" Feat. Lil' Zee
Err-body who didn't know, it "iz tha label!" How iz this gonna go into a song though? >>> Oh, only 1:23 on tha length. Yeah, "From TB To LP" was a REAL GREAT mixtape fa'sho (all 4.0 or higher ratings which made it a **PERFECT MIXTAPE**)! I really like that beat on here (it's nice and quiet) and just you and Lil' Zee on it makes it nice; too bad this iz real short. I like tha rappin' that went on and tha "smoke it like a blunt" part in tha hook from Lil' Zee. My Rating: 4.3


13. "Cross Tha Street" Feat. Mz. E-Baby
This iz tha 1st time I'm seein'/hearin' Mz. E-Baby on a track… I hope she raps… Let's see what will happen wit this joint. >>> Huh, this beat? I neva knew what this beat was but Natureboy Rowe used this for "I Am Dallas;" he jacked that beat? SMH… I thought it was original at first. Either way, I like it. LOL @ tha short length again (1:37). You're soundin' great on this beat Coop. You did yo thang and now I hear tha E-Baby… Yup, she's rappin'; a lil' short though but pretty nice. Yeah, this was a lil' short. My Rating: 3.9


14. "Cutlass Musik"
What do we got here? >>> Sounds like a jacked beat in tha beginning… I heard tha "Justice L.E.A.G.U.E." part in tha beginning of it. I can't think of who used this beat 1st but it's not bad for me. Was a lil' unsure of tha start but now, I'm finally hearin' your usual, nice flowin' at tha 1:00 mark. I like tha "AC didn't blow" line for some reason… Tha hook iz just decent for me but yeah, interesting lyrics about tha "AC not blowin'." My Rating: 3.6


15. "I'ma Show Ya (Remix)" Feat. Lil' Zee & Swidda G
Well, tha names of who's on this bitch ain't listed this time (it's usually listed in tha mp3); instead, it just says "3rd Court" for tha back cover. We'll see if I can figure err-body out. Let's see this remix… >>> Lil' Zee startin' off tha very beginning wit tha intro… Pretty nice hook from him. I'm hearin' you on tha 1st verse, already kickin' it off in a GREAT mood! I'm glad you're "drowned in a pool of money, havin' nightmares; woke up, still seein' piles of money everywhere." That was a REAL NICE part from you Coop. Lil' Zee iz on that 2nd verse to this… He sounds like someone like OJ Da Juiceman for some reason on this joint… An okay 2nd verse but that hook iz startin' to get catchy for me. Let's see who's on tha 3rd verse… Yup, I had a feelin': Swidda G! Yeah, my boy right chea! HUGE OBSESSION wit money he has; REAL NICE 3rd verse (Swidda G fuckin' doin' tha damn thang)!! Who's next? Up, nobody has a 4th verse; nice shit right here though! I'll fix tha ID to "Feat. Lil' Zee & Swidda G" so it looks better on here. My Rating: 4.1


Break: I need to call someone (related to college) real quick… >>> Aight, no answer but if they call, I'm gonna have to take a short break during a track maybe.


16. "I'm Packin'"
Let's see here… Looks familiar for some reason… >>> Only 2:00 long. LOL @ those "I'm packin'" sample parts; weird. I'm glad you and Swidda G "got each otha's backs." Glad your "trigga finga has an itch" also. Nice lil' verse and pretty nice hook from you; this might need to grow on me in tha future. My Rating: 3.8


17. "In My Pockets" Feat. Mz. E-Baby
Tha chick iz back wit you. Let's see about these "pockets"… >>> Sounds like a catchy hook. You got $2,000 on your ring (as you said "2K on my ring")? That's cool. I know you "can't live without your money" but I feel like I can… somewhat. My dad owes me like $500 and I only have $20 right now (have had it for a few weeks). I feel like I can't buy shit (I really wanna buy some scratch-off lottery tickets); I can deal wit it though 'cause I know I'll EVENTUALLY get my money back. Damn, look how much I typed… Mz. E-Baby already went and tha joint ended, lol. Anyway, Mz. E-Baby had a pretty nice 2nd verse and that hook iz just catchy and good. My Rating: 4.0


18. "Set It Off" Feat. Lil' Zee
Anotha Lil' Zee feature… Maybe you should've evened it out and maybe had Loose Cannon on this. But lemme hear it and see how interested I'm in it… >>> A fade-in beat (different). Nice start so far. I'm likin' a WHOLE LOT how Lil' Zee said "if you got weed, we gon cook it up" outta nowhere! Now, I'm havin' interest for this. My God, Lil' Zee flowed REALLLLLL NICE AND SMOOOOOTH on this joint right here on his 1st verse! LOL @ tha "wipe ass/toilet tissue" line at tha end of his verse. Oh, I didn't know tha "got weed" part was in tha hook; good shit! Now you're on tha 2nd verse Coop… Pretty nice part from you on tha 2nd verse but it felt short 'cause of Lil' Zee havin' tha hook and his verse combined. He really shined his ass on this joint right here; real nice shit! My Rating: 4.4


19. "Kan You Last" Feat. Lil' Zee
Just like No. 8, it's a joint wit a question as tha title. Lil' Zee again on this bitch so let's see… "kan he last" wit you on this? >>> Anotha one of those smooth beats… He sounded a lil' odd wit his fastness on tha intro to this. We'll see how he does on tha 2nd verse 'cause right now, it's about you on tha 1st verse… This joint ain't really for me wit tha style but pretty good part from you I guess. Who's tha people on tha hook or w/e that iz? Iz that tha ones that had this beat originally or somethin' like that? I don't know… Looks like Lil' Zee iz pretty horny on tha 2nd verse as there's a lot of sexual lyrics goin' on here… Pretty good for him. My Rating: 3.3


20. "Take Tha Bet"
Let's see what kinda bet iz happenin' here… >>> Plies? Now it's "Got 'Em Hatin'"? Oh, now I'm hearin' him again but now you're on this… Pretty nice beat here w/e it iz. Pretty nice start for you. Again, Plies came outta nowhere? What's goin' on here? I see you sayin' Plies iz lyin'; that iz true (he was caught in lies). Iz this a Plies diss or somethin' wit all tha Plies parts? All them parts confuse me here and there but your parts were nice Coop; great beat too. My Rating: 3.7


21. "So Fresh" (Mz. E-Baby Feat. C-Coop)
Ooh her own joint here featuring you. Let's see how her joint does… >>> I like tha bell in tha beginning! She's only 19? That's cool. It's weird how people are younger than me now (I'm 20); I'm used to bein' a lot younger than people all tha time. Pretty nice rappin' from her as she's flowin' without listenin' to tha haterz. I find it weird when lady rappers say "dawg," but it sounds cool still. Coop's up next… LOL @ "gettin' in her underwear;" that's watz good! Pretty nice track here from her and Coop. My Rating: 3.8


22. "My Life"
Endin' it wit this joint. I heard it like once so let's see what happens wit tha re-hearing from me. >>> I guess it was good to keep Wayne on tha hook for this. Pretty nice 1st verse on this. Likin' your 2nd verse also on this (it was a lil' shorter too). Not bad on tha 3rd verse too. Sorry I didn't really say much here but nice shit. My Current Rating: 3.7


Overall: End Time: 12:15 PM. A 1 hour, 59 minute review for C-Coop and 3rd Court Records! Hope you like my review once again and I hope tha whole 3rd Court Records likes it too. It was a real nice mixtape but I like tha one wit Swidda G, "From TB To LP", a lot better. BTW, I'm lookin' at tha back cover of tha mixtape right now and right above your picture, it's tha highway. I'm pretty sure when I visited Florida, I was on that highway and really liked bein' on it; it's REAL cool seein' it on a mixtape cover!
