Reviewed on 8.16.2009 (Review #286)


Anotha review from FrankieThaLuckyDog? Holy shit!! I must be on my fuckin' grind TOO MUCH, ya dig!!! Anyway, unlike tha last 2 reviews, wit this next one, we gon go back ta 2006. I didn't include it in my marathon of Louisiana CDs 'cause I wanna deliver it to my boyz Jay Regal, Johnnie Domino, S.B.R., and all them at Raw Ha Records ASAP. Here goes my review for Jay Regal "Mixtape Murda Vol. 1 (Hosted by DJ Black Magic)" from 2006! Start Time: 11:58 PM | End Time: 1:20 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!
 
 
© 2009 CD Review (Review #286) reviewed on 8.16.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. DJ Black Magic Intro
Let's see what he gon show off on this intro right here... >>> It sounds gutta in tha beginning! My boy Jay Regal from 3 years ago! I like tha "oh, shit!" parts in this intro, ya dig! Great intro ta get me started wit this soon ta be GREAT CD!! My Rating: N/A


02. "Bang, Bang"
And of course, tha starting song HAS ta be gangsta; that's what you are, ya heard me! Lookin' forward to it! >>> I heard tha "David Banner" beat intro in tha beginning; iz this a real beat or jacked? Sounds like his 2004 single "Pop That" a lil' bit. Tight shit right here, ESPECIALLY since you rockin' "black 'bauds" on this shit right here! This iz Rap that can't be denied!! It can't be stopped, nor can it be hated on; it str8 hot shit!! Feelin' that hook a whole lot, especially since it on tha gangsta tip! Fuck those "couple niggaz that want you dead;" you doin' yo thang, especially on this 2nd verse! I like tha "Pacman...," "funeral...," and tha "warrior" parts. You really TORE UP that 2nd verse; REAL TIGHT shit right here!!! Tha 3rd verse here, definin' tha bullets' attributes. If they're in your hands, you KNOW they're unblockable, as well as REAL STRONG!! Nice anthem from you, my dawg! My Rating: 4.7


03. "Street Beef"
Prolly ANOTHA hot song!! >>> I liked your intro; lol @ tha "anotha world premiere;" tryna get all anticipated, lol. I felt like I was just in tha movies, lol. Tha talkin' in tha beginning was tha truth. Tha hook iz DEFINITELY on sum catchy shit here; glad you deliverin' these songs tha WAY they should be delivered! Tha 1st verse here, "shootin' up cars," and "not givin' a fuck" as well; you're REAL tough wit this shit! Glad you "off that doulja" too; I fuckin' wit you to tha max, ya dig! REAL NICE 1st verse, and that hook just too nice! Kinda long interlude before tha 2nd verse, but it sounded good, so that's all that matters. Even more repeatitiveness... Okay, finally, a real verse at 2:32! Still comin' through wit that hot shit!! I also like this beat, as it sounds like that HOT, nice, old, undaground Louisiana shit!! I like your repeatitiveness about havin' your gun before tha 3rd verse. Speakin' of tha 3rd verse, still soundin' nice. It sounded like it got louder, and then, it's fadin' out? Bad fade-out. Where's that "Street Credit" CD of yours? My Rating: 4.6


04. "Jay Back Home"
I wonder what this song gon be about... >>> This a jacked beat (I recognized it). Real old, but I really liked it (whateva it was)! You're doin' ya thang on tha 1st verse, just bein' you at all times! Shit, someone tell me what tha original version was 'cause it gon be goin' through my head now!! LOL!! Great job on tha 1st verse, and tha hook iz DEFINITELY that street/hood shit right there!! You got err-thang surroundin' you, but you survive it! Tha 2nd verse here, and yea, "everytime you ride, you smell reefa." That's watz good, as your rhymes just continue and continue and continue! I like your "chillin' where tha knifes and tha guns and tha drugs be" part in tha hook; proves ta be that raw shit! That sux that you "goin' through a bad phase from December - December" on tha 3rd verse. Still, just like you said, you're "not givin' a fuck" when it comes to negative shit! I would check my year-end countdowns for what beat this was, but I don't think I know it 'cause I have a feelin' it was like an album cut or somethin'... UNLESS it's Young Chris (of Young Gunz) "North Of Death" from 2004; that's my only guess, which I think I maybe right! What a REAL GOOD beat ta choose!! By hearin' it, I KNEW it had ta be somethin' from Philly! I didn't think album cut instrumentals were that easy to get back then 'cause there was no YouTube popularity! My Rating: 4.5


05. "P.A.N. Up" Feat. M.A.
That M.A. dude I think was on tha outro (or intro) to one of tha previous songs... I'm lookin' forward ta hearin' this collab, ESPECIALLY wit that title!! Shit yea; 4:51 on tha length!! >>> LOL, an easy recognized beat here; Jim Jones "Reppin' Time", lol! LOL @ tha talkin'/rappin' on tha hook. It feels like it takin' fa'eva ta get to tha verse, lol. You're on tha 1st verse, and it's off to a great start. Nice job on your verse, reppin' what you feel! You're on tha 2nd verse, and it's rewindin' back again (just like a part of tha 1st verse). Soundin' betta this time, and tha rappin' just strictly YOU! That M.A. dude comin' up on tha 3rd verse, and I'm anticipated ta hear him!! LOL @ his talkin' on tha hook before tha 3rd verse! Great voice, and straight from tha streetz!! Port Allen music to tha fullest!! Nice job from him, and I hope he makes at least anotha apperance on this mixtape!! My Rating: 4.3


06. "Don't Fuck Wit Me" Feat. Dino, Dog Da Cutthroata & M.A.
This should be interesting... And I think it's Cutthroata, not "er"... Let's see what gon be brought to tha table! >>> Oh yea, VERY LONG here wit 6:41 on tha length!! Hope tha beat iz GREAT! Oh wow, SO 2004 here on this mixtape wit "Get Some Crunk In Yo System" beat!! 2004 was one of tha best years, betta yet, tha best year livin' in Northeast PA 'cause of all tha music and tha way tha South sounded!! You're on tha 1st verse here, and yea, you "CAN'T kill Jay Regal;" how could you die? There's NO WAY!!! I like your "fuck you, get up out my face" part 2x; you spit that raw shit in your 1st verse! Tha hook iz nice too; str8 consistent shit!! Here's tha 2nd verse (Dino?). "Gardere" streets? Iz he from G-Lane? Either way, he sounds REAL gangsta on this shit right here!! EXTREMELY raw on this shit right here!! It switched to Dog (I think) afta those 16 bars, still on tha 2nd verse. Good job. That was a freebie for Dog's part on tha review 'cause of this bein' real old. I could've skipped 'cause he didn't do correct business wit me, but I may give him anotha chance soon; hope he acts normal!!! It switched to Dino again (unless M.A. was somewhere on this that I didn't catch him), and he doin' a nice job again! Glad tha hook finally came on again at about 4:34 in! Here you come again on tha 3rd verse, doin' a nice job "whopin' a nigga azz!" Yea, if someone "starts shit," you DEFINITELY "gon finish," just like you did wit this verse, which was nice! Yea, "gettin' fulla dem pillz, fulla dat weed;" I feel you, big dawg, at tha end wit your talkin'! My Rating: 4.6


07. "Come Play"
Yea, you'd prolly FRY THA SHIT OUTTA THA PERSON, lol!!! >>> "Oh shit!" Yea, I feel DJ Black Magic on them tags/intros! Great start to tha 1st verse, "wearin' wifebeataz" and all that great shit! Really into that doulja on this verse right here, so I'm REAL GLAD I fuck wit you on tha real!! That was a real nice 1st verse, and tha hook iz pretty good too; it rolls through nice. Tha 2nd verse soundin' nice also wit tha "glaze a nigga like krispy cream" part; REALLY liked that part!! You're such a gangsta on tha 3rd verse as you "come around wit tha tool out;" glad you keepin' it SO real!! I like tha "you're tha beef, I'm tha fryin' pan" part; such GREAT rhymes here from my boy!!! You gave a shout out ta M.A. also towards tha end; thumbs up! My Rating: 4.5


08. "How You Feel" Feat. Dog Da Cutthroata
Anotha feature wit him... I wonder "how I feel" about this...? >>> Yea, that "oh shit!" intro again!! If you know Dog, then talk some sense into bein' more interested in me 'cause he a 2-hit wonder on tha phone wit me! Nice collaboration hook, as it's interestin'. You're on tha 1st verse, and you identifyin' some fakes on tha 1st verse! Also talkin' about how people just willin' ta snitch; glad you puttin' tha word out there! Dog's on tha 2nd verse, and his voice sounds plain; it's hard ta rememba. He said, "money by tha stacks;" where's my money and 3 CDs that I 'pose ta review and do commercials for? You said you was gon have it Mid March 2009. Iz that really "money by tha stacks?" Really, I need a clear-up on what's goin' on wit my money/CDs!! My Rating: 4.4


½time: Well, OF COURSE, this iz an UNDENIABLE mixtape right chea!!! My boy Jay Regal iz a blessin' when I discovered him last month, and he pretty much had that in him even back in '06 'cause this CD iz just TOO CONSISTENT!!! All tha ratings are NICE and don't alternate that much, so that's watz good!! Average CD rating iz currently a WHOPPING 4.5!!


09. Skit
LOL @ just "skit". If that's so, then, wit 2:21 on tha length, I'm REALLY lookin' forward to it!!! >>> Yea, it's you talkin'; fa sho!!! Interestin' McDonalds public service announcement! Too bad that gurl behind tha counter thinks you're broke; you NOWHERE NEAR BROKE!! Yea, "if you 18 or older, and you still work at McDonalds, you iz PATHETIC;" I agree!! It sounded like there was a copy/paste at 2:15 between 2 different conversations. Either way, thanx 4 invisionin' my brain at tha Down Port McDonalds on Long Island, NY, lol! You KNOW a skit iz gr8 when you can invision tha story behind it!! My Rating: N/A


10. "Shake Something For Me" Feat. M.A.
Looks like it gon be Bounce influenced/Bounce beat? Lemme see... >>> Yea, that "oh shit!" beginning again! LOL @ tha beginning song, where I said, "Iz this David Banner 'Pop That' beat from 2004?" Well, now it iz! Glad you rappin' on this, ESPECIALLY wit this 2004 style! I should've gotten that song, ESPECIALLY wit it bein' Christina Milian "Dip It Low" influenced (unless I think it vice versa 'cause both were made around tha same time). It wasn't big enough, so I neva remembered ta get it. You did yo thang on that hook, as it's hella catchy, and tha 1st verse was nice! You doin' yo thang wit this shit!! Yea, my boy M.A. on tha 2nd verse, soundin' good on this shit! Nice job from him, just luvin' anytime a female shakes! My Rating: 4.3


11. "Remember My Face"
NOBODY should forget what you look like; your face iz ALL ova Cyber Promo 360, Raw Ha Records pages, and just... ERR-WHERE in these Louisiana streetz, ya dig!! >>> Sounded like "Hard Knock Life" in tha 1st second, lol? LOL, this beat DEFINITELY sounds nice, and it sounds like you ready ta deliver that HOT shit!! You "keep" that HOT SHIT when you rap 'cause it explains itself in tha rhymes!! Doin' tha damn thang on this 1st verse to tha fullest! Yea, you "get extra high," so you KNOW you get that plus wit this shit! Nice job on tha 1st verse, and tha 2nd verse doin' tha damn thang here; you ARE "next ta shine!" Hope you keep buildin' dat undaground success; I'm RIGHT behind ya wit this shit!! Great job wit this jam right here; str8 up hood shit!! My Rating: 4.6


12. "Who That Is" Feat. Raw Dogan
A new featured person, so I'm DEFINITELY lookin' forward ta seein' how hood he iz on tha mic! Also, I'm lookin' forward to this collaboration and song!! >>> Anotha David Banner beat... YET, ANOTHA CLASSIC ONE!!! Not 100% sure of tha correct spellin', but it's (I think) Beezel Feat. Bone Crusher & David Banner "See About Ya" beat from Late 2003/Early 2004 (just checked online, and I got err-thang right); Music Choice Rap when they had random CLASSIC songs that only aired on there!!! That's when I luved tha WHOLE South at tha time!! Now, it's just pretty much Louisiana only standin'!! You doin' yo thang on tha 1st verse, and it went through pretty nice. Although I easily liked tha original version betta, you at least comin' through on tha hook wit this shit! DEFINITELY felt that hook, and now, tha 2nd verse here from Raw Dogan! Doin' tha damn thang wit tha rappin' here!! Such unstoppable, ESPECIALLY that "text message... I finna send it" part! He did his thang, and I like tha "Raw Dogan" parts in tha hook; catchy-ass shit here! Glad you were talkin' at tha end, and I'm GLAD you're "home now!" My Rating: 4.4


13. "Who I Love" Feat. G.S.B.
I can't picture myself bein' anticipated for jacked beats, lol!! Tha beats you've chosen for this CD have been REAL memorable, and are NEVA forgotten!! I wonder what gon come outta this song wit tha featured artist!? >>> Familiar sounding (sounds like Neptunes); prolly '04 again. Not bad for a start here; a decent hook. You're on tha 1st verse, and you're doin' a pretty nice job on this. Real "loaded" too on this, so you KNOW you a big dawg at all times!! Tha 2nd verse here from GSB, and it aight for a start. Not bad on that 2nd verse; cool voice though. Too bad there was no 3rd verse, but at least there was some talkin' and tha hook again. My Rating: 4.0


14. "Mixtape Freestyle"
!!! A jacked beat, fa sho!! LOL!! I just have that HIGH anticipation!! >>> I don't know tha beat, lol, but it's off to a pretty good start wit tha CEO? Nah, that you, lol. You DO "shine like tha golds in your mouth!" I like tha "cookin'" lyrics around a lil' afta tha 1:00 mark. Err-thang you spittin' about yourself iz true on this right here, ya dig! I like tha "dope fiend" part around 2:15; good shit right here!! You did yo thang on tha 1st verse!! "Amped up like a punch..." to start off tha 2nd verse, so you KNOW there's roughness in this verse!! I like tha "I ratha put a nigga on a shirt, like a polo sign" part around 3:10! I like tha "like a guard" part also at 3:45! Glad M.A. shoutin' you out at tha end of tha song; tight shit here! My Rating: 4.2


15. "That's Cold"
Just like tha Lil' Cali CD I just reviewed earlier today ("Cold Summer"). This joint prolly gon be REAL "cold" 'cause you tha one deliverin' it!!! >>> Yea, an "oh shit!" intro!! Tha beat iz only aight this time; tha hook iz pretty good though. REAL nice start to tha 1st verse, "tryna sell your weed packs!" I like tha interesting "Port Allen" facts on tha verse too. You KNOW you did yo thang on tha 1st verse! Tha 2nd verse here, and it really about your "baby girl" this time. Not bad 2nd verse right there. Nice and relaxin', consistent flow on tha 3rd verse as you "smoke a blunt" on this shit right here! I REALLY like tha "I'm like a scratched CD, you can't play me" part a WHOLE LOT!! REAL NICE right there!! My Rating: 4.2


16. "Dead Weight"
Ooh, LUCKY #16 for me!!! REALLY LOOKIN' FORWARD TA THIS ONE!!!!! >>> "OH SHIT!!" Oh no, here we go wit tha beat guesses again (sounds like Three 6 Mafia)! Oh God, this one gon take sum time ta rememba... Really feelin' tha style on this shit right here, doin' tha damn thang!! You've been surrounded by drugs a WHOLE LOT, so you KNOW you gotta tell it how it iz in these raps; I'm glad I hear 'em 'cause they're REAL interesting!! Tha 2nd verse here on some tight shit; I like tha "Wild Wild West" part. Nice job on tha 2nd verse, fa real!! BTW, why no hook? What's goin' on at 2:07 wit all tha arguin'? At least you defendin' yourself in order ta make that 3rd verse! Real nice job, and yea, you were "out there wit your poker face" before Lady GaGa, lol! Great shit right here, although it REALLY needed a hook! I still wanna know what tha beat iz too! My Rating: 4.3


17. Outro
This iz it... How you gon end this AUTOMATIC 5* rated CD?? >>> Pretty good phone call here. It kinda borin' me a lil'; it should change up a lil' or somethin'. There was "2 more volumes of that 'Mixtape Murda'," huh; where are they? I like tha rappin' of you playin' in tha background. Finally, here you are, 15 seconds before it ends, lol! Again, it sounded like a copy/paste 4 seconds before it ended, lol. My Rating: N/A


Overall: Well, DEFINITELY was a GREAT mixtape from 2006; nice classic shit right here from my boy Jay Regal!!! You got a new one droppin' August 28, so I'm REALLY lookin' forward ta gettin' that one, ya dig! Keep doin' ya thang, keep in contact wit me, and we gon show these peeps what HOT music you make, ya dig! At least YOU pick REAL GREAT beats ta rap on unlike them bullshitted, played out "A Milli" type shits!!
