Review #173: Big Poppa "Rollin' Like An 18-Wheela"

Reviewed on 2.14.2009 (Review No. 173)


Another FrankieThaLuckyDog review… That’s all I do, lol. Here it iz, for Big Poppa of Ratchet City, my review for Big Poppa “Rollin’ Like An 18-Wheela”! Start Time: 6:03 PM | Video Game Playing: Donkey Kong Country (for Super Nintendo)



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!


© 2009 CD Review (Review #173) reviewed on 2.14.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. “Turn Me Up A Little”
Let’s hear tha 1st joint off of here… >>> Only 2:41 on tha length for a start… This iz a good start to tha CD wit only a few seconds in. :tu Kick-ass beat wit you doin’ a great intro to this song! No special lyrics that you’re spittin’, but this iz a nice jam. Tha lyrics are too typical. Tha 2nd verse sounded like a bunch of alternating artists… Not bad. Tha ending was too cold, as it only said tha hook once, and then ended. My Rating: 4.3


02. “Lou-An-Swag”
What kinda “swag” iz that? >>> More short songs (2:28 on tha length)… And this ain’t even like a shortened version (of like a hosting on a mixtape). Looks like tha beats are on point here! Tha beat almost has a “I Smoke, I Drank” type of feel to it. Soundin’ good… Tha “now turn me up a lil’” part I hear on here… Try not to jack it too much ‘cause I don’t like when artists jack their own saying, and say it in 1827391728 songs… Okay 1st verse, but tha lyrics are nothin’ special. Sounds like I hear ‘em in every artist’s songs… Why does everyone go through tha same shit? WTF? It just ended? Shit… My Rating: 3.7


03. “Pill Man” Feat. K Pistol
Betta sound betta than tha last 2 jointz… And I heard this was a single? >>> Good, a longer length of 4:03. :tu I guess this iz a mixtape since it’s tha “Independent” beat. Nothin’ to anticipate about… Sounds like it should’ve been on an original beat… Any of tha lyrics that don’t have to do wit pills just sound boring to me… More typical lyrics. Looks like I hear a featured artist on tha 2nd verse… He sounds better (K Pistol his name iz? I’ll put him in tha ID). Well, you’re on tha 3rd verse… I didn’t know you didn’t have great lyrics on tracks. I guess it’s just tha beats that count here (as well as tha hooks). My Rating: 4.2


04. “The Redd Foxx”
LOL @ tha double double letters! >>> Longer song (5:09 on tha length). “A brand new dance?” Looks like this goin’ in tha trash… Shit, I might as well barely write anything for tha next 5 minutes! I can’t believe how FUCKIN’ TERRIBLE THIS SHIT IZ!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, “I’m ‘bout to lose it!” I’m too old for shit like this (I’m 20 and a ½). Louisiana doesn’t need any of this shit!! WHAT GARBAGE LYRICS!!!!! My Rating: 1.0


05. “Bang Bang Bang” Feat. Hurricane Chris
Betta be betta!! And wit that title, it betta have to do wit gunz! >>> Cool beat intro so far… I hear Hurricane Chris on tha 1st verse. Not bad on his part, but nothin’ special. Tha rest of tha song iz just decent, but nothin’ catchin’ my attention ‘cept for that hook and that beat. My Rating: 3.8


06. “Rollin’ Like An 18-Wheela”
I know this one ‘cause it was on one of Way3000’s mixtapes. I gon pull tha review up… >>> Matta’fact, I ain’t. This iz much shorter (1:42 on tha length), so I gon have to condense this… Sounds like Shell on tha hook. Originally, it had Hurricane Chris on it, but this don’t due to it’s small. Not bad verse, but good hook and beat. My current rating’ll be a lil’ lower due to shorage/no Hurricane Chris. My Current Rating: 4.2


07. “Rick James”
Betta not be gay… >>> Good beat, but kinda gay start wit it soundin’ like a song wit a dance… Shit, it iz. :( It sounds a lot better than that other songs, but still gay. Not bad verse on tha 1st verse (meanin’ that it was better than tha other dancin’ song). Unfortunately, tha featured artists are not listed (I only have this from mp3), so I don’t know who’s on tha songs. My Rating: 1.9


08. “Get Out Your Mind With It” Feat. Shell
I didn’t know this CD was gonna turn out to be full of dancey shit… I don’t know where my anticipation came from… >>> Bad enough it’s a jacked beat (“Turn It Up” beat). I don’t like hearin’ shit on jacked beats… Don’t know who’s on tha 2nd verse… Can’t really get into this… If it’s more dancey, why a jacked beat? And wow, Shell’s on tha 3rd verse? He still doesn’t fail for me, but please, wit this beat. Why am I reviewin’ this? He didn’t disappoint, but everyone else iz just bleh… Tha hook iz okay though. My Rating: 2.7


09. “Let’s Go Up”
Will your ratings do that for me? >>> Betta be good for 4:37 on tha length… Pretty nice beat here. I like that “pants stay hangin’” part that was said twice… Tha saggin’ parts sound good to hear, and I like tha “numb” part; good comeback here. I have a feelin’ this gon be my favorite song on here… It’s real mysterious to me (like it came outta nowhere). Love that beat! Good fade-out to tha end, and tha lyrics/flow was just consistent on here! My Rating: 4.5


½time: Well, kinda a bad start… Only a small amount of songs passed my expectations… I don’t know what to say about tha rest of tha CD on how it gon affect me…


10. “Say It Ain’t So”
Starting off tha 2nd ½ wit… >>> A long one (5:16 on tha length). Bad beat… It’s a jacked beat (real old). I’ll remember what it iz later… LOL @ tha “SAY IT AIN’T SO!!” parts! Now, you wanna step your lyrics up? … That beat iz Lil’ Scrappy “Livin’ In The Projects” (my bad for sayin’ it was a “bad beat” ‘cause it ain’t; just ain’t meant for Louisiana music). Well, sorry to say this, but this iz just boring to listen to. :td I neva wanna listen to somethin’ like this… not my type at all. Sounds like tha 3rd verse iz better… My Rating: 2.3


11. “No Sleep Over Here” Feat. Angie Loc
What’s this one? >>> Now, tha jointz are long (5:04 on tha length). Sounds better (good beat too). Not bad 1st verse on here. Tha hook iz good too. Looks like we got Angie Loc on tha 2nd verse… I don’t really have much feedback on female rappers… Don’t know tha 3rd verse dude… Sounds good I guess. Tha 4th verse iz just like tha 3rd verse: I don’t know tha dude, but it’s pretty good. My Rating: 3.6


12. “Fed Up”
I’m kinda “fed up” wit how this CD’s goin’, but let’s hear how you’re “fed up.” >>> More long songs… Not my type it sounds like… Good message throughout tha song, and good part about lettin’ “God get his time.” This iz gettin’ boring… Tha beat iz too repetitive, and I’m not into this. My rating maybe low, but remember, I’m givin’ you credit on your good lyrics. My Rating: 2.5


13. “I Miss My Nigga”
Some of these type of songs are gettin’ me nervous… >>> Another bad beat, and 4+ minute song… What’s wit all these sad songs, that are not my type, in a row? A lil’ scared listenin’ to this… I don’t listen to music/CDs to be upset about (or feel bad for anyone). Remember that your lyrics in this are DEFINITELY great. If I gave a lyrical rating for this, this would be like a 4.6 around, but don’t be offended by my rating ‘cause my rating iz based off on how I like it/jammin’ it iz (which doesn’t count lyrics most of tha time). My Rating: 2.0


14. “Real Shit” Feat. Lil’ Boosie
Another one??? >>> A betta beat… Boosie on it? Why do I keep hearin’ tha same songs like this on this CD? Iz this CD ½ club / ½ lyrical or somethin’? I like Boosie’s verse (sounds like Young Ready). Tha rest of tha song was just decent… My Rating: 3.1


15. “Can’t Stop My Shine” Feat. Hurricane Chris
BOOOOOO @ tha title!!! I don’t need to see this title anymore (now that 92 Boys had an underground song wit it in 2006). Don’t fuck it up!! >>> 5:36 on tha length and “Rock Yo Hips” beat? DEFINITELY fucked up… My God, there’s 5 more songs on here… How DARE this have this title!! LOL @ tha mixin’… LOL @ Hurricane Chris comin’ on here. LOL @ tha “put a pussy to his face…” part. This fuckin’ shit ain’t endin’!! My Rating: 2.2


16. “Keep It On The Backseat”
You talkin’ ‘bout tha choppa? >>> Sounds better (more Louisiana soundin’ in tha beat). Yeah, this iz about tha choppaz. Good ideas to where you should keep your choppa. LOL @ keepin’ it when “I’m on tha toilet.” Iz that how bad your hood iz? Tha dude on tha 2nd verse did a REAL good job; feelin’ his shit! Damn, this ended too soon. My Rating: 4.2


17. “Roll Like An 18-Wheela”
I thought this was on here… only that was “rollin’,” not just “roll?” >>> Iz this like supposed to be like an original version? I like tha one that was No. 6 on here better. This sounds kinda plain, and average on what tha song’s lyrics apply to it. My Rating: 3.3


18. “Watch Me Do My Dance” Feat. B-Mack
No; I think I’ll pass!! >>> FUCKIN’ 4:27 ON THA LENGTH!!! Couldn’t’ve been a worse way to create a hook than this! It’s clean? SMH… I guess there’s a B-Mack dude on here… Sad that it had to end wit all dances and shit… More gay lyrics! It’s sad that my songs don’t get much attention, while shit like this passes! My Rating: 1.0


19. “Nasty (Pill Man)”
Will it be a “nasty” ending? >>> Sounds like a Phunk Dawg beat… It iz. So, this iz really tha “Pill Man” song? I’ll put that in tha ID… This iz what that song should’ve sounded like when I first heard it! Glad it sounds like this! A featured person on tha 2nd verse… Tha whole song was jammin’, and this iz a real great single for everyone to hear! So, by readin’ tha other “Pill Man” review on here that it’s K Pistol on tha 2nd verse; okay. My Rating: 4.4


Overall: End Time: 7:51 PM. Was waitin’ for this review to be ova. I felt like it took me fo’eva for this shit to end. Anyway, this didn’t really pass for me. Sorry, Poppa, but this mix wasn’t good enough for me. An odd mix here… Push tha songs I rated good, and that’s it.
