Review #282: ChaYsuh "Unda-Estimated Vol. 2: By Any Means"

Reviewed on 8.16.2009 (Night of 8.15.2009) (Review #282)


FrankieThaLuckyDog here. Doin' non-stop reviewz! Tha next one iz fa my boy ChaYsuh. Now, when I was on tha phone wit him months ago, he told me, "When you hear this CD, you gon shit on yourself!" Will it be true? LOL, I don't know about shittin' on myself, but I feel that this gon sound betta than his 2006 CDs, ya dig! Here goes my review fa ChaYsuh "Unda-Estimated Vol. 2: By Any Means"! I didn't think I was gonna do a review this late, but I am! It quite ironic 'cause ChaYsuh currently holds tha title for latest phone call (5:53 AM/4:53 AM Louisiana time) wit me, and will now hold tha latest review! Start Time: 1:03 AM | End Time: 2:15 AM


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!

NOTE: If you see anytime where I say, "not labeled featured artist," "unknown this," etc., it's because I went wit tha mp3 information on iTunes instead of tha actual file names to determine who tha featured artists were.


01. "I'm A Problem"
Wit tha "I'll shit on myself" thing (lol), I consider you "a problem" when it comes to this Rap shit, ya dig! Lookin' forward ta this!! >>> LOL, this intro sounds pretty cheesy wit tha "whatcha gon do when ChaYsuh come fa you?," lol. I don't consider that you "fell off;" you didn't go anywhere. You've always been here, but now, stronger. Not bad on tha rappin' throughout tha verse here, but I'm glad you feel good about your intro song here. My Rating: 3.6


02. "Betta Gone Head"
I don't know what ta expect for this song, but I like that "gone" iz in tha title! >>> Good beat start right here. I like that it's buildin' up at :12. I hear tha words "knock ya ass." Just so you know, back on August 10, 2008, I got this song from you (when it was titled "Knock Ya Ass"). I didn't do anything wit it at tha time (nor did I know who you were), but it was cool ta see that e-mail from so long ago. Nice lil' hook, and tha 1st verse here sounds like you comin' strong wit how you act. Once again, I'm glad we're born on tha same exact birthday (as well as Young Tazz from BR too)! I'm gonna put "Knock Ya Ass" in () in tha title since that's what I first saw it as. Nice job on tha 2nd verse too. Oh, and I'm re-readin' tha e-mail, and this iz tha original title. "Knock Ya Ass" was just tha name of tha mp3 file. Sounds good, so thumbs up fa this song again. My Current Rating: 4.1


03. "Say It 2 My Face" Feat. B-Raw
Expectin' this to be a song that goes hard! >>> LOL, it a jacked beat ("Chevy Ridin' High"). Good job pickin' this beat, and even tha screwed "say it 2 my face" sounded good, as well as tha hook! Not bad on tha 1st verse here from you, spittin' good shit. Glad you keepin' it "100" on this too. I felt uncomfortable hearin' tha 2nd verse, so I fast forwarded it. I also stopped tha song :20 before it ended also. My Rating: 3.8


04. "Freestyle 1"
I wonder what beat this gon be on? Let's hear you freestyle... >>> Just like you said in tha beginning, "whateva beat it iz, I gon rip it." This 1st beat sounds like a Grindstarz beat, and I REALLY like it. When you said "ha" in tha beginning, it almost reminded me of Juvenile's "Ha", lol. It's somewhat soundin' more like it throughout it, and I'm likin' it. Towards tha 2nd 1/2, it's soundin' aight. LOL @ tha "titty-grabbin'!" Great beat ta rap off of. If this was a song (and not a freestyle), I prolly would've liked it more. My Rating: 3.9


05. "4 Cups" Feat. Grind, B-Treal & Beefy
Interesting title here... Let's see what we got fa 4:59... >>> That beat rhythm in tha beginning sounded familiar of anotha song from tha past. Tha hook here, and it's soundin' pretty good. Nice lil' club soundin' song here that's not that fast. Tha 1st verse here, and it soundin' not bad, but more on your club tip, so it's a plus when you go to tha club. Ooh, a featured rapper on tha 2nd verse; you didn't ID who he iz? I like his fast style in tha rappin', so that's watz good. LOL @ all his "baby pampers" parts, lol. Nice 2nd verse right there from that mysterious rapper. I think he on tha 3rd verse too? If not, it sounds like someone familiar (like Big World). Still soundin' good like tha 2nd verse here! Catchy song wit a catchy hook. I also like tha outro wit tha liquor pourin' in. My Rating: 3.9
EDIT: Found out from Song #7 that it's B-Treal & Beefy.


06. "Lamez"
I like tha "z", lol. Let's see what we got here... >>> Sounds like an anticipatin' beat intro... You say "it's tha truth" and it "gon hurt a whole lotta muthafuckin' feelin's," so I'm anticipatin' myself! Catchy hook again, as you can't stand them "lamez," and that you continue ta be "a muthafuckin' hustla." Glad "everytime you hit tha mic, you make yo program bleed;" I like that line, and tha 1st verse was straight. Tha 2nd verse a lil' betta here; I like tha "quarterback" part. Sounds like it gon be a long-ass outro wit 54 seconds left... Tha talkin' iz soundin' good though. LOL @ tha "playin' video games" part. My Rating: 4.0


07. "Buckin' Hard" Feat. B-Treal & Beefy
I thought this was gon be "Freak Show" 'cause I saw Beefy in tha ID, lol. Nope, not yet, but unlike that song bein' a GR8 female song, this should be a GR8 goin' hard song!! >>> Likin' tha beat start here; nice job wit these anticipatin' starts! Tha hook iz soundin' good; that's all I can say. Decent rappin' goin' on from you on tha 1st verse. I like tha hook betta though. Here comes B-Treal on tha 2nd verse. Yup, this that dude from tha 5th song on here, so I gon put him in tha ID. He did his thang on this one, so props ta bringin' him ta this song too. Beefy on tha 3rd verse, and he sounds tha same? Maybe I'll re-hear those otha verses from tha 5th song ta see if it's tha both of them. Either way, he doin' his thang too. More "not playin' around" type lyrics, so thumbs up. My Rating: 4.2


08. "Animal"
I like this title, and tha length iz kinda small (2:54). This should be pretty good, hopefully! >>> Sounds like random Baton Rouge music this time, but good club music. Catchy hook once again! Unknown rapper on tha 1st verse... Not bad on his part. Glad he not actin' mellow on this shit. You're on tha 2nd verse, describin' how people do it in tha 225 hoods. Tha great 225 hood lyrics continue!! Nice job on that verse right there, doin' a gr8 job wit this shit! My Rating: 4.3


½time: Decent/good start here. Nothin' disappointin' at all! ChaYsuh, keep reppin' 225 and havin' these original tracks! Average CD rating iz currently 4.0.


09. "On My Mind"
I thought it said "out" for a sec... Looks like it gon be a female song? >>> Sounds like tha beginning beat makes you roll if you on them pillz, lol. I'm glad tha guess was off 'cause it's about havin' "purp on yo mind!" Tha 1st verse iz here, and it sounds like you talkin' about tha tough shit goin' on once again. I felt tha verse, and I'm feelin' this joint right here. Tha 2nd verse sounds like it followed tha 1st verse, and I'm glad you delivered it in a hood way. Tha hook sounds like it goin' hard too. Glad tha beat rollin' through wit tha last 38 seconds. I also hear random gurlz moanin' your name. My Rating: 4.0


10. "Freak Show" Feat. Beefy
And here's this song, lol! Glad your girl patna (or whoeva that was) (and I think you) uploaded that gurl shakin' her ass to this song. It made me enjoy tha commercial I made you for this song promotion. I really like tha beat fa this one, and tha hook sounds like it's you at your best when it comes to havin' a sky-high horny level, lol. To prove this song comes to real vision, I rememba that phone call when your girl answered when I called about those 2 CD reviewz I did for you months ago. That was a REAL "freak show" goin' on, lol. You did yo thang on tha 1st verse, just feelin' this track. Beefy on tha 2nd verse, and at first, before I heard him, I thought Beefy was tha girl in tha hook, but no, it a rapper. He doin' his thang on this beat; nice job. You on tha 3rd verse kept this shit comin' along good, and I'm glad this female vision iz always in your dreams/your sleep. My Current Rating: 4.4


11. "So Fresh N Clean" Feat. Grind, B-Treal & Beefy
Looks like it gon be anotha gr8 song, especially switchin' up topics again! >>> Anotha great beat it looks like wit a nice start to this song! Nearly sounded like C-Loc on tha hook, but I think that B-Treal. Catchy hook, and makes tha 2nd 1/2 of this CD look good! He on tha 1st verse here, doin' a nice job! Glad he fulla dat dro! LOL @ his voice; it sounds cool. Who's that Chamillionaire-soundin' dude on tha 2nd 1/2 of tha verse? No source... Nice 1st verse, tha 2nd verse iz here, and it's from Beefy! He doin' a pretty good job on this. Someone else on tha 2nd 1/2 of tha 2nd verse? Neva mind, that's you, and it's soundin' good. Glad you "smokin' on sum purple leaves." Great song right here that fits in good wit this CD! Nice beat ending wit it fadin' out; you got a nice production team! My Rating: 4.3


12. "Follow My Lead" Feat. Cee-Jay
Not tha 50 Cent/Robin Thicke beat, right? >>> No, but I have a feelin' this gon be a downfall from tha shit I been listenin' too... An unknown singer on tha hook... Not that bad, but not too much interest for me. You're on tha 1st verse, just flirtin' non-stop, lol. Sounds like a slower, cleaner version of "Freak Show" wit tha female catering. Tha females must LUV your "ChaYsuh potion," huh, lol? Good job lurin' tha females out in tha 1st verse. LOL @ how you said "humpin'" in tha 2nd verse; sounded like it randomly came outta nowhere, lol. Not bad 2nd verse on this joint right here. Nearly a minute beat outro here... Neva mind, tha hook repeated. My Rating: 3.5


13. "Self-Made"
Not sure what I should say... Lemme just hear it. >>> I like how tha title sounded in tha beginning. LOL, fast beat soundin' in tha beginning! Anotha catchy hook; feelin' tha title bein' said, as well as how tha hook sounded overall. Tha 1st verse here, and it sounds like you always havin' fun, so that's watz good! Tha 2nd verse here, and you got your defense since you say you "got tha streets behind you." That's good if they got your back! Nice jiggalatin' ending to tha 2nd verse wit tha "choosin' pills!" A 3rd verse iz here, and it sounds like tha fun iz continuin' wit tipsy ChaYsuh here, lol. My Rating: 3.8


14. "Got Me" Feat. Colin Campbell
Not sure what this one gon sound like... Hope tha featured person iz a rapper! >>> Club-type intro! ????? @ tha hook????? LOL!!! Sounded like Heavy Metal wit tha vocals!!!!! DEFINITELY a good sound as it switched up tha style for a club song, no less not bein' a rapper!! You're on tha 1st verse here, and you "fell asleep in your trunk?" LOL. Pretty good rappin' on tha 1st verse. That hook iz GREATTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!! Tha 2nd verse iz here, and gr8 theme as you're in tha "mosh pit" wit this shit! Yea, tha hook came outta nowhere again!!! Nice 2nd verse though, no less it bein' shorter! This iz tha shit where I would shit on myself, ChaYsuh, lol! This iz beyond insane!! Tha 3rd verse here soundin' like tha verses neva left, and just kept goin'! How did this collaboration come about? REALLY feelin' it!! Just like it says in tha hook, it's like a re-entry wit Crunk! My Rating: 4.8


15. "Uh Huh (Fulla Dat Drank)"
Looks like anotha banga!! How catchy will this one be??? >>> Thought it would be a faster start, but it sounds pretty good on tha start wit tha beat. Tight-ass hook wit tha "fulla dat drank/fulla dat stank" part!! Here comes tha 1st verse from you, already "gettin' laid," so you on point wit havin' a good time! LOL @ your "house feelin' like a damn maze." Mazes can be fun, but when you on dat drank, it could be a labyrinth!! Nice job on that 1st verse, and tha 2nd verse here, still keepin' yourself on level wit thangz. I liked tha talkin' towards tha near-end, and I'm glad tha hook repeated too! My Rating: 4.2


16. "Self-Made 2" Feat. T-Bo
A 2nd one? No 2nd freestyle (from earlier), lol? Let's see how we gon end it... >>> Sounds like it gon be a good one; feelin' that beat once again! Sounds like Savage, T-Lo & Big Markee (R.I.P.)'s "I Ain't Got No Mind" in tha hook; you get an influence from that song for this one? It sounds nice though! Tha 1st verse here, and I don't know exactly what ta say... Whateva I said for tha last song iz pretty much tha same level this song's on. Tha 2nd verse iz here, and speakin' of T DASH, it's T-Bo (you didn't source him?)! He doin' his thang wit this shit, and he REALLY on his shit wit this shit! Soundin' a lil' like Sims too! Really liked his verse, and he got a new mixtape CD comin' out soon that has ta do wit Honkey Kong or somethin'! It's back ta you on tha 3rd verse here, claimin' that you OWN "'09," lol. Not bad 3rd verse, although T-Bo OWNED this one! Like tha outro too, and it sounds betta than tha original (accordin' ta what I rated tha original)! My Rating: 4.3


Overall: Well, for tha 1st 1/2 bein' only decent/pretty good (and havin' an average CD rating of already a 4.0), tha 2nd 1/2 really ADDED some good attributes to this mixtape!! Nice collaborations (especially hidden ones that weren't sourced), and great job wit tha jointz on this CD! Keep doin' yo thang, and I hope you like tha review! Nice, consistent CD right here!
