Review #243: "Next 2 Blow: New Orleans 2009"

Reviewed on 6.25.2009 (Review #243)


FrankieThaLuckyDog here again; 'bout ta do anotha review that I've had on my computer fa a while now. This iz my review fa "Next 2 Blow: New Orleans 2009"! Start Time: 11:33 AM | End Time: 1:40 PM


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 #243) reviewed on 6.25.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. Partners-N-Crime Feat. 5th Ward Weebie "So Attracted"
Just heard this for tha 1st time tha other day. I think it's catchy, especially for an Auto-Tune song! Here's what I had ta say recently about it: No comment on tha intro, but I like tha Bounce beat here. Hope tha 1st verse ain't gay... Too much great shit goin' on in tha beat, so I can't really hate much. Still, get rid of tha Auto-Tune vocals! A good hook I must say (even wit those Auto-Tune type vocals), but that "Thang Thang" song [of PNC] sounded betta! Good 2nd verse, and tha 3rd verse iz here... Sounds like it's much betta here/5th Ward Weebie style (oh yea, that's him 'cause he just said his name)! Tha CORRECT rapper here!! ... I might put this in rotation, but not sure of how much I'll play it. Thank you, 5th Ward Weebie, for contributing!! To Add: Why iz tha Bounce breakdown cut off (originally 'pose ta be at 3:03 in tha song, which was where this version ended)? I enjoyed that part, especially tha 90's "dunn-dunn-dunn-dunn" vibe!! A deduction in tha rating by a lil' for that! My Current Rating: 3.7 (only lost 0.1; not bad)


02. Sess 4-5 "Gettin' That Gwop"
Like that title, and I neva heard tha artist before, so this should be anticipating!! >>> Sounds like (in a video game) tha type of beat intro that would confuse a monster (in Final Fantasy), lol. Great intro, and I'm DEFINITELY feelin' that intro; great shit here!! Fuckin' tight hook, and tha 1st verse here iz tha shit when it comes to hustlin'! This dude DEFINITELY holdin' this track down! Fuckin' glad it's nice and long (4:32 on tha length)!! Doin' tha damn thang on tha 2nd verse; "20 grand for every 2 shows," huh? That's watz good if it true! When I hear about people gettin' money from shows, usually, they say 1 G... Tha 1st verse was betta, but tha 2nd verse (of course) held it down in a GREAT way! Great 3rd verse too (sounded shorter); DEFINITELY a great new artist right chea!! Come to think of it, I neva heard this dude before, but his name looks familiar... Maybe I've seen it on MySpace or somethin'? I dunno... My Rating: 4.6


03. Shawt "East Anthem"
Anotha new artist fa me... "East Anthem", huh? I'm from tha "East", so I guess this'll be a plus fa me, New Orleans style? >>> Sounds like a real familiar beat start (unless it sampled somethin'). Where did that guy come in at :12? LOL... Great beat intro, and it sounds like tha 1st verse iz off to a REAL GREAT start!!! Like that "consistently" part; I ALWAYS say that in my reviews! Definitely a NICE verse right there! I wonder what tha rest gon sound like!! Sounds like a featured person on tha 2nd verse (there's no info on who it iz, so I don't know; someone add on if you know). That acapella part at like 2:07 was NICE! Tha 3rd verse sounds tha same; iz there a featured person? I dunno... Good job on tha 3rd verse too! My Rating: 4.3


04. Chopper City Boyz Feat. C-Murder "U Can Bleed 2"
Ooh, they're on here. I thought they were a lil' mainstreamish to be on here though ('cause ain't this a CD fulla cats that haven't had mainstream success yet?). Still, it looks like a GREAT title, so you KNOW I need ta hear some new CCB!! >>> Speaking of tha letter C, C-Murder startin' off wit a REAL NICE start!! Ooh, tha 1st verse iz soundin' REAL NICE here!!! BTW, IDK if this exactly sounds like them, so I just googled to see a tracklisting (other than tha one I had), and I only found tha one I had online, so unfortunately, it's whateva. C-Murder iz MURDERIN' this one right here!!! Sounds like Max Minelli wit tha title? Did someone ID this wrong? Now, hearin' tha verse, I guess not, but it close. Anotha nice verse right there before tha song ended; crazy shit here!! My Rating: 4.7


05. Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I. "Like A Muthafucka"
LOL @ tha title (just tha "muthafucka" in it)!! New Dizzy junt, so let's see... >>> Likin' that beat intro, and LOL @ tha Dizzy in tha intro. Ooh, feelin' tha hook, and tha beat iz gettin' better too! Nice flowin' from him here! He ain't downin' himself, which iz great! Ooh, GREAT beat style at :46!! Feelin' tha hook now; sounds GREAT wit those added lyrics!! NICE attitude on tha start to tha 2nd verse; keepin' it RAW! DEFINITELY a nice 2nd verse; really enjoyin' this shit to tha fullest!! Ooh, a 3rd verse!! DEFINITELY a hot song here; wow, this CD iz just SO consistent; REAL NICE start to this CD!!! My Rating: 4.6


06. The Show "Bonafied"
How ironic that Dizzy and The Show are back 2 back, as they remind me of a team ('cause they were always played on Big Boot Radio). Hope to hear an original beat on a Show song, so hopefully, I expect greatness!! >>> It maybe good to see Stevie Drumma on tha beat, but I'm not really into tha gurl in tha background (for a start to tha song). Tha beat ain't that bad; I can deal wit it wit Show's rhymes here! Good thing tha beat iz dark here, and tha vocal sample in tha background ain't always appearin' outta nowhere. Great 1st verse (of course), and tha hook was nice too. Real nice rhymes in tha 2nd verse too, although I liked tha 1st verse better! That hook iz SO short, but sounds GREAT! Tha 3rd verse iz REAL nice too! Nice ending wit that hook again! My Rating: 4.1


07. Nutt Da Kidd "Do It 4 Scrilla"
Looks like a Bounce song... I hope so 'cause Nutt didn't do too good (I think it was him) on that Quarter Key mixtape. Please, no Auto-Tune! >>> Tha gurl in tha beginning iz worse than tha last song, but tha beat sounds good. Okay, maybe he doesn't sound so bad. Matta fact, he soundin' great here! Ooh, "drink my elixir;" glad he mentioned a Final Fantasy item, lol. Wow, tha rhymes are REAL, REAL GOOD!!! Tha hook iz nice here. I wonder who I mistook Nutt for on tha Quarter Key mixtape? Okay, neva mind, tha 2nd verse iz decreasin' in quality wit that Auto-Tune shit; who iz that? Thank God tha verse ended 'cause tha "real" iz back in tha song! WTF? More Auto-Tune on tha 3rd verse? I think that's Nutt this time. Now, it switched to (I think) tha dude on tha 2nd verse. Much betta lyrics than tha last few parts on tha 2nd 1/2 of tha 3rd verse here. Wow, what a fuckin' gay ending; shut up already wit that Auto-Tune shit wit tha title! My Rating: 3.6


08. 5th Ward Weebie Feat. Lil' Wayne "Bend It Ova"
Tha cat was let outta tha bag when I accidently saw this song on here. Of course, for some reason, when I download a CD, there's always one song (either I've known it for a while, or wanted it to be on here) that unexpectedly appears, and this time, it's this song! OMG!!! What an anthem for Fall 2008 for me (although it was out like Spring 2008)!!! This song marked tha R.I.P. of Big Boot Radio for me 'cause 5th Ward Weebie was on their September 17, 2008 show, and they didn't let me talk to him (when they told me to call in later, and then he left before I could call; I was PISSED)! Either way, tha Alex McConduit phase was over by then. I mean, I got ta talk to Chopper City Boyz and shit; why not 5th Ward Weebie? Regardless, this song became "Aliciable" (where a song my gurl Alicia on Long Island would like, and I would put on her monthly CDs I make her) and I put it on her CD early. Now, tha review, LOL!! >>> NOTHIN' iz better than a repetitive hook SOOOOOOOO many times without a breath!! He says "bend it ova" 16x in tha hook (when it's 8 bars)!! Just a REAL GREAT vibe to it, as well as ... LOL @ tha "turkey neck?" OMG, just gives me a smile everytime I hear it!!! Nobody I know played this song, as it was ignored by sources worldwide, sadly. Maybe, it'll get exposure now? IDK... I didn't mind Lil' Wayne's Auto-Tune vocals here, although they're gay overall. Gotta luv 5th Ward Weebie's voice and flow on tha track; unstoppable!! This like an automatic **PERFECT RATED** song for me 'cause I've known it/played it for a while now. Gotta luv his verse after Wayne's! Glad I got a high quality version now 'cause I had a somewhat good quality version from Imeem. My Current Rating: 5.0


09. Flipset Fred "Waistline"
Newbie, but only able ta shine fa 2:13... IDK what to expect, so I'm gonna press play and see what happens! >>> Sounds like a Bounce beat, but why Wayne Wonder "No Letting Go" in tha background? Neva mind, this prolly sounds GREAT!! Wow, STR8 Bounce here!!! OMG, how unexpected!!! I guess that's why it's short; it's real fast!! Wow, NICE beat from :40 - :43! OMG, HOW FUCKIN' CRAZY!!!!! Goes PERFECT after that "Bend It Ova"!!! OMG @ 1:15 - 1:20!!!!!!!! This ain't tha gay dance type shit that comes out like tha "Stanky Legg"; this I can deal wit 'cause of how it sounds!! Even ended wit tha "No Letting Go"; lol @ tha higher pitched vocals! My Rating: 4.9


10. Hot Boy Ronald Feat. Sess 4-5, Nutt Da Kidd, Shawt, TL & Dank "9th Ward"
Holy shit, look @ all these peeps!! Already 1/2 of them I heard on this CD, so I wonder what it sounds like combined!!! >>> Sounds like anotha Bounce beat!!! Anticipating intro!! A lotta old sounding in tha songs here, which I'm diggin'! Nice "dat 5... 04!!" part! Feelin' tha 1st 1/3 of tha 1st verse here; dude doin' tha damn thang, fa real! Tha dude on tha 2nd 1/3 of tha 1st verse doin' a nice job on this too; glad these verses aren't just 4 bars!! Tha 3rd 1/3 of tha 1st verse iz pretty good too; nice chantin' goin' on before tha hook came again! Tha 1st 1/4 of tha 2nd verse iz pretty good; LOL @ "make it rain like an Indian ritual!" Nice job right there! Let's see tha 2nd 1/4 of tha 2nd verse... Held it down too; nice. Tha 3rd 1/4 of tha 2nd verse here sounds like a different flow here, and iz doin' a nice job. All these rappers know what they doin' wit this shit! Ooh, a 4th 1/4 on tha 2nd verse here; REALLY feelin' his style on his voice 'cause he sounds PERFECT on Bounce shit!! Tha voice reminds me of tha type of older New Orleans shit wit tha Bounce vibe!! My Rating: 4.4


½time: Looks like an INCREDIBLE start to this GREAT compilation CD!!! Wow, I didn't expect it to be THIS GREAT!!! I thought it was gonna be decent, yet a lil' boring wit boring beats, but no, it surprised me!! New Orleans on a comeback for me a lil'!! Well, I HOPE tha remainin' 11 songs are JUST AS GOOD!!! Average CD rating iz currently 4.4!!


11. 6 Ward Pook "Keep 'Em Coming"
Ooh, anotha Ward person wit Ward in their name!! As GREAT as this CD iz goin', I'm DEFINITELY lookin' forward ta this!! >>> NOTHIN' CAN STOP THAT BEGINNING wit tha "coke" and "dope"!!! Wow, DEFINITELY feelin' this shit right here!!! Anotha dude that's gonna have a GREAT future wit me and tha underground Louisiana bu$ine$$!!! Feelin' tha fuckin' voice right here on this shit!! Sounds a lil' like Chopper (Young City) from Da Band. REALLY into these "dope/coke" lyrics; CRAZY SHIT!!! Tha siren'd/GREAT beat works here fa me!!! LUVED that fuckin' "shiiiiiiiid" part at 1:35; I'ma DEFINITELY holla at this dude and find him on MySpace 'cause I KNOW he would wanna work wit me on sum shit!!! SUCH A FUCKIN' GREAT 1st verse!!! You KNOW a new artist ta me iz DEFINITELY great when I neva heard of them, and I said in tha preview, "I'm DEFINITELY lookin' forward ta this!!" This dude doin' tha damn thang, keepin' tha 2nd verse HOT!!! FUCKIN' LUVED tha "shiiiiiiiiid" part at 2:55, right when tha 2nd verse ended!! GREAT ending, as he just kept GOIN' and GOIN' and GOIN' and GOIN'!!!!! Such a GREAT START to tha 2nd 1/2 of this CD!!! My Rating: 4.9


12. Kayotic "I Ain't Gonna Say A Damn Thang"
That's a different title, but I'm DEFINITELY lookin' forward to it!! I KNOW this ain't gonna disappoint either!!! >>> I dunno about tha start so far... I didn't expect a singer (not listed)... Not really goin' hard fa me; more soft. Nice lil' rhymes and 1st verse, but I don't like that beat; WTF @ tha snappin' too? Not bad on tha 2nd verse, but for a song 4:30+, it sounds too long... LOL @ "I go hard like my dick, boi." Just a decent 3rd verse. My Rating: 2.8


13. Young Sino Feat. Ms. Tee "Hard Life"
Don't really like tha title (as I stereotype it bein' boring). Please, don't make it boring! Do tha damn thang on it! >>> ??? @ tha mixtape intro?? Oh no, a female sample in tha background again. Yea, this ain't really a song I'd be into. Just a decent beat (not that dark or anything), but Sino doin' a nice job rappin' tha rhymes. Not bad on tha 2nd verse, but not exactly my interest. LOL/Huh @ tha "yep, yep, yep" part around 2:18? Okay 3rd verse, but no interest in me really likin' that much. I'll give it a lyrical rating too to give credit to how tha song sounds on tha lyrical tip. My God, those "yep, yep, yep"'s came in again at about 3:17 and 3:42! Lyrical Rating: 4.3 | My Rating: 2.6


14. Baby Boy Da Prince Feat. Cassidy "Damela"
LOL, this song too? Bringin' a lil' bit of Baton Rouge here... Music Choice has this song. Tha title reminds me of tha Britney Spears "If U Seek Amy" one where her's iz "If U Seek Amy" or "F-U-C-K Me", and this iz "Damela", but when hearin' tha hook, it sounds like Baby Boy's praisin' himself by nearly sayin', "damn, I look good." Anyway, lemme see what goes down when reviewin' it... >>> LOL @ tha beat intro; feelin' it!! GREAT beat, and that catchy hook. Sounds like good/nearly random lyrics goin' on in tha 1st verse, but good overall. I neva got ta hear Cassidy's part everytime it came on Music Choice... He sounds good; I don't mind my Philly dudes. Good part on him, keepin' tha track good. His flow was like 100% different from Baby Boy's, lol. It's almost weird hearin' Baby Boy say "nigga" (I guess 'cause everyone knows him from that "The Way I Live" song). Soundin' good on tha 3rd verse too. I haven't really considered this song yet, so maybe, I'll get it and put in rotation; not sure. It still sounds great though; nice song! My Current Rating: 4.2


15. Jay Da Menace "Hood Thang"
Wow, even anotha song goin' over 4:30 on tha length!! Hope this a REAL great song for a new artist!! >>> Ooh, nice Bounce-influenced beat start! Matta fact, nice Bounce start!! Not sure of tha hook, but I like that beat a lot!! Just a decent 1st verse; nothin' special... A different person on tha 2nd verse, and whatever, they added tha Auto-Tune on their voice (I think). Either way, they're just decent, whether they have that effect or not. Well, tha rest of tha song was just tha same as what I thought before. Nice Bounce vibe at 4:04 for tha ending. My Rating: 3.3


16. Monster With Da Fade "I'm In Luv"
As my grandma would say, "Where do they get these names from?" This a cool name, but IDK about tha title... I rather this mixtape go HARD than "in luv"... >>> LOL @ tha "c'mon"'s repeatin' at like :10!! Ooh, more Bounce music; YEA!!!!!! This iz MUCH BETTA than tha last song I heard, and MORE on tha "in luv" topic!!! Tha last song was called "Hood Thang", and didn't have a "hood" style to it. This iz called "I'm In Luv", and it has more of not just a boring vibe to it; LOL @ tha reverses!! LOL @ "hit her wit that monkey [wrench?]...!" WHAT A GREAT #16 SONG!!! Just like tha #9 song on here, I'm DEFINITELY feelin' tha somewhat skippin' in tha song!! Glad this iz a minute longer than tha #9 song so I can enjoy more, although that one was a better song. My Rating: 4.5


17. Lyrickal Assassion "Remember Me"
4:30+ on tha length here... I expect a LOTTA "lyrickal" lyrics with a DARK, but not boring, beat!!! >>> Tha first 27 seconds had me somewhat anticipated, but IDK about tha hook... It ain't that bad, but it ain't really what I wanted; at least it ain't boring. Sounds like an interesting start to tha 1st verse here... I like tha 90's vibe in tha sound here. Even sayin' tha title right before tha verse ended had a 90's style in it. Not bad on tha 2nd verse here; sounds a lil' different on tha flow. Kinda long ending, but it still good. Not bad for a song like this; it's enjoyable. My Rating: 3.6


18. Sess 4-5 Feat. Shawt, Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I., Nutt Da Kidd, Six Shot, Skip, 5th Ward Weebie, Choppa, Young Sino, Sniper, 6 Ward Pook, The Show, ???, ???, Hot Boy Ronald & ??? "Black Love Movement"
Wow, WHAT A HUGE LINEUP!!!!! Anybody can fill in tha remainin' 3 people, it's appreciated! Looks like this gon be a freestyle so lemme see who does what, and how GREAT it iz!!! >>> Nice beat intro; good beat so far. A true hook that there NEEDS ta be "black love;" GREAT "movement" here!! Tha 1st dude did his thang; I agree wit tha "less gunplay" part; good job, Sess 4-5. Shawt (2nd 1/4 of tha 1st verse) did his thang too; nice job. Dizzy givin' a nice message on tha 3rd part; thumbs up. Good job on tha 4th part too from (I'm guessin') Nutt. Ooh, tha "2, 3 birds in one night" part iz good, but it sounds like we need ta make things better, so I guess, thumbs up to Six Shot on tha 1st 1/4 of tha 2nd verse. Skip doin' a pretty good part on tha 2nd 1/4. 5th Ward Weebie did his thang on this on tha 3rd 1/4. I didn't know that was Choppa on tha last 1/4 of tha 2nd verse. He givin' a nice feel to his verse wit his dark voice and that good shit. Young Sino on tha 1st 1/4 of tha 3rd verse here... Pretty good part. Tha 2nd 1/4 of tha 3rd verse was from Sniper, who did a nice job. My dawg 6 Ward Pook on tha 3rd 1/4 of tha 3rd verse, doin' a REAL nice job wit tha emotion in his voice; tight shit! Show on tha 4th 1/4 of tha 3rd verse, doin' a pretty good job; always gettin' somethin' across!! Now, tha final verse: A lotta "black" on tha 1st 1/4 of tha 4th verse here from 1 of 3 of tha unknown artists. Tha 2nd 1/4 of tha 4th verse was anotha one of tha 3 unknown artists, and he had a REAL nice job wit his shit, especially that emotion in his voice. Hot Boy Ronald on tha 3rd 1/4 of tha 4th verse, doin' a nice job too, talkin' 'bout tha "high murder rate." Tha last dude on this (on tha 4th 1/4 of tha 4th verse) I was debating if it was Jay Da Menace (from tha #15 song), but who knows if that's right. I have a feelin' it iz, but I'm not gonna put it in tha ID just yet. Well, everyone held it down, and did tha damn thang here; great 16 people collab!!! My Rating: 4.0


19. Shawt Feat. The Show "Paper Planes (Remix)"
LOL @ this... And Shawt iz back. Because of M.I.A., I'm SURE it gon be a turn on!! >>> I like tha "money so old, it got blisters on it" line; nice. Not much interest in what's goin' on here, so I'll just leave it at bein' okay. Tha hook iz okay, although it prolly would've sounded better wit M.I.A. on tha hook. I like tha "so much weight" part on tha 2nd verse. Ooh, The Show made an unexpected appearance!! Now, that brought a sunshine to tha track! He DEFINITELY held it down wit such a GREAT/in his own world type attitude on tha track! My Rating: 3.4


20. Jimmy Mossberg Interlude
Eight seconds... >>> Good sign in. My Rating: N/A


21. Jimmy Mossberg "Do My Lil' Dance"
Oh no!!! Let's not fuck up tha ending!!! >>> Wodie On The Beat, so maybe not too bad... Sounds like a borderline Baton Rouge type song... I like tha "pop anotha pill" part in tha hook, but I don't think this'll be that great fa me. How come I keep hearin' tha hook? It was like a short verse (I think), and just tha hook too much... Actually, tha 2nd verse sounded pretty tight wit tha "pants saggin'" type shit. Maybe this ain't that bad, but ain't somethin' I'm impressed by either. Oh, there's a 3rd verse here too... Nothin' really ta say about that one. I really liked tha "pants saggin'" one though. I like that cold ending though! My Rating: 3.1


Overall: Tha 1st 1/2 MURDERED tha 2nd 1/2 on this CD as there was MUCH unexpected GREAT songs in tha 1st 1/2! Either way, I was DEFINITELY feelin' this CD, as a ton of people came through and did they thang!! Sess 4-5, wat up? My dawg 6 Ward Pook, watz good? You know I gon help you wit this Rap shit if you down fa it, ya heard me! Err-body on here, keep doin' yo thang! I'm tha dude when it comes to supportin' this Louisiana Rap shit!!
