Reviewed on 8.30.2009 (Review #298)


Ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog at it again; anotha review! This one goin’ out ta my boy Puppy & his gurl T-Dub ‘cause they both put out this anticipatin’ mixtape right here called “Don’t Ask, Just Listen”! ‘Preciate tha Camp Life representative sendin’ it 2 me in tha mail ‘cause you KNOW those hard copies of CDs are REAL gr8 ta have, ya dig! Showin’ DCF sum luv right now wit dis review! Here goes my review fa Puppy & T-Dub a.k.a. Venom “Don’t Ask, Just Listen”! Start Time: 5:29 PM | End Time: 7:39 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 #298) reviewed on 8.30.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. “Woa Jac” Feat. DJ B-Real
Looks like a catchy title/song for tha 1st song on here. Let’s see how dis thang gon go! >>> Sounds like one of those familiar Mouse beats here by B-Real this time. T-Dub doin’ her thang on tha hook; she soundin’ raw on tha hook! “Let me fuck it like a hard dick;” she comin’ through STRONG on dis 1st verse right here! Tha raw, gangsta shit she be spittin’ made tha 1st verse REAL, REAL NICE!! My boy Puppy here on tha 2nd verse, and it’s soundin’ great, just like where your gurl left off! Nice job, but your gurl did betta on this song, lol! Glad you put a star next to it on tha tracklisting, which means you pushin’ it! My Rating: 4.6


02. “They Lied” Feat. Nu$$ie
Looks like dis title/wit Nu$$ie on it can be 100% true!! Could be tha perfect time ta hear it as well, so here goes my listenin’!! >>> Anotha B-Real beat here, startin’ off pretty slow, but will prolly get gutta… Still tha same beat pace, but yea, tha way tha beat sounds makes it sound for tha streets, so that’s a plus! T-Dub & Nu$$ie sound like they’re havin’ a conversation on tha hook here. It’s more her right now on tha 1st verse, and she still soundin’ gutta; props, props! Now that I heard tha 1st verse & hook again, here’s tha 2nd verse from Nu$$, and VERY sexual on tha content this time! Sounds like tha realness iz bein’ applied ta havin’ sex in this scene; good job, Nu$$! Dat boy Puppy on tha 3rd verse; yea, feelin’ how you came through outta nowhere on tha verse!! Soundin’ a lil’ like Young Ready, so you KNOW I’m REALLY inta this verse right now!! Real fuckin’ glad I’m fuckin’ wit you now, so you KNOW we gon do big thangz!! Wait ‘til this review iz ova; tha commercial gon come! Just realized a lil’ bit into tha song that this iz a somewhat remake of tha “Hail Mary” 2Pac beat, so props ta B-Real fa doin’ his Baton Rouge version on tha beat! My Rating: 4.5


03. “Satisfied” Feat. Kewanna MeCole
You’re really pushin’ this song right here (as you told me). You told me it was very sexual, so I HOPE it iz, especially if anotha gurl iz on tha feature! How will I feel about it? >>> DEFINITELY NOT borin’ in tha beginning so far, so I think we got a hit here! REAL NICE job on tha singin’ on tha hook! Yea, tha 1st verse here, and it’s REAL sexual; dis tha shit I wanna hear when it comes to servin’ tha females/tha females servin’ tha males! Tha 2nd verse iz tha featured female, and she’s doin’ a nice job singin’ here; nice transition from tha T-Dub parts! LOL @ her “I tell him ‘harder,’ it’s harder” part, lol! REALLY lookin’ forward ta seein’ how you come on dis shit, Puppy!! Yea, you came through NICE on tha 3rd verse wit wantin’ ta nut and shit, so you KNOW dis song will attract MANY, MANY, MANY people!! Even added some female attributes on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse here, doin’ tha damn thang. GREAT type of female joint right here!! My Rating: 4.4


04. “Big Dog” Feat. DCF
Tha DCFam (lol) in here, ‘bout ta get WILD!!! >>> LOL, random start wit tha “Independent” beat. I thought it was an original Mouse beat ‘til I heard how fast tha sample played, and knew it was Webbie’s song. Good hook, and tha 1st verse here, doin’ good on dis beat! Nice job, and T-Dub on tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse, REALLY KILLIN’ IT!!! I LUV her “I’m like girbaud straps” part; CRAZY!!! My boy Puppy here on tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse, doin’ dat gangsta/hood shit right here!! Soundin’ good on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse too; str8 DCF here!! Tha hook iz tha TRUTH wit dat “big dawg status” shit. LOL, here dat boy Lil’ J on tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse here, always doin’ his thang wit dat GREAT voice, lol! Nu$$ comin’ through here on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse… Mixture of sex & weed, so that’s good fa Nu$$! LOL @ how he ended his verse wit just sayin’ “nigga” (instead of soundin’ like it was rapped in tha verse), and not sayin’ “Nu$$ie!!!”. Kinda could’ve cut tha beat somewhere, but it tha whole beat, so it whateva. My Rating: 4.4


05. “Wonder Why”
This could be a yes or a no title for me. But wit tha way dis CD goin’, I can’t deny a preview!! >>> Did dat say “Mr. Puppy ____ on tha track?” If you’re producin’ dis, then that’s watz good! Wow, tha beat GOIN’ NUTS!!! You KNOW I don’t deny dat DCF shit!!! Tha beat goin’ REAL CRAZY in tha hook here, as well as T-Dub singin’ her ass off!!! She no less came here on tha 1st verse, doin’ tha damn thang wit tha way she deliverin’ dis shit; TOO NUTS!!!!! REAL NICE job on tha 1st verse, and while Puppy playin’ tha beat, she doin’ her thang on tha 2nd verse ALSO!! Kept it consistent, while it’s not just good, it’s REAL GREAT!!! VERY Puppyless here (lol) as she on tha 3rd verse too!! She dedicatin’ it to us fellas, lol! That verse was ALSO nice ta hear!! REAL NICE job from just T-Dub holdin’ thangz down!!! My Rating: 4.5


06. “Do What It Do” Feat. Nu$$ie
It has a star by it, so that means you’re pushin’ this one too… By tha way tha title looks, it could be familiar, but I doubt it. *Checks* Yea, came up in my iTunes library wit tha “Featuring Nu$$ie” CD when I typed in “T-Dub”. Ewe @ my original 3.7 rating, but when I read what I originally wrote, I felt that it should’ve been way higher! Here’s what went down: … Oh wait, already, he’s in tha intro; nice intro wit tha beat! Didn’t expect that singin’ but it sounds pretty good on tha hook (as it’s a female no less) [T-Dub]. Ooh, she’s got tha 1st verse as she’s rappin’ no less! Nice lil’ verse as it was pretty grimy. Now, it’s tha 2nd verse… Soundin’ like a Young Ready flow, only faster. Feelin’ that 2nd verse there [from Puppy]. Good, Nu$$ie’s on tha 3rd verse! Definitely cool shit right here wit all that rappin’! And of course, tha endin’ had to have somethin’: “shitted in a cup.” When he said that in “Show My Ass Off,” it just was INSANE!!! To Add: Yea, my boy Puppy goin’ off on dat 2nd verse! T-Dub blended in REAL nice on this shit too! Even Nu$$ie bein’ on this was NICE too! I feel MUCH betta about it now!! My Current Rating: 4.3


07. “Make It Happen”
Anotha pushin’ possible single! Just y’all on it (or 1 of y’all), so I’m DEFINITELY gonna feel like I feel wit dat “Wonder Why” song and its preview! >>> Shit, who’s tha producer on this again? I either couldn’t tell, or I just can’t figure them out. I know them from previous productions. Anyway, hearin’ you on tha hook, Puppy, and it’s SO FUCKIN’ TIGHT!!! STR8 DUMB SHIT RIGHT HERE!!! LUV tha 2nd ½ of tha hook wit tha repetitiveness of tha hook!!! Tha 1st verse iz here, and it’s REAL CRAZY wit tha flow and tha lyrics!! You REALLY can “make it happen!!” Fell unda LUCKY #7 here!!! Really pushin’ as a future single or somethin’?!? That’s REALLY, REALLY watz good!!! I like how you said “dawg” 2x I think in tha 1st verse too; SO FUCKIN’ IN LUV wit dis shit, as well as bein’ able ta communicate wit you and all dat good shit!!! Yea, T-Dub on tha 2nd verse, so it husband & wife here!! STR8 UP THA DUMB WAY WIT DIS GANGSTA SHIT!!!!! Really felt her lyrics, ESPECIALLY filterin’ out tha fake-asses!! My big dawg Pup on tha 3rd verse too!!! I can’t wait ta call you afta this… or will I (‘cause my internet fucked up right now, so you won’t be able ta see tha review ‘til it goes back on)? REAL GREAT verse from you, and lol @ tha real cold ending; didn’t realize it ended. My Rating: 4.9


08. “Ass Real Fat” Feat. Lil’ J
LOL @ tha title! This should be a REALLLLLLLLLLLL GOOD one wit Lil’ J on it!!! >>> I can prolly name tha producer by tha way tha beat sounds, but for some reason, I can’t think of it? …Not sure, but you actually said who it was (“Hits” on tha track? Iz that tha dude from tha last song?). Tha hook sounds pretty good, although kinda regular, and not much extremely excitin’ goin’ on, lol (even wit tha beat changin’ or whateva). Either way, good shit, and you did ya thang on tha 1st verse, Pup. You REALLY want dat ass!! Here we go wit Lil’ J on tha 2nd verse! I think I gon like him much betta on this one. Soundin’ GREAT wit tha way he rappin’ and what he actually spittin’ on dis; good shit! Will T-Dub add sum of her ass on dis? Nope, but Pup, you stole tha 3rd verse this time, lol! Great shit wit dis shit, especially tha “rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on dem pillz” part, as well as tha “elephant” part too! My Rating: 3.9


09. “I’m So Fly” (J-Bo Feat. Puppy & B-Don)
I saw tha length (4:13), and had an odd feelin’ about this song bein’ right here, and it iz!!! I smiled! So dis CD must be pretty new then, huh? That’s REALLY watz good!! Looks like all y’all gon get sum debutance in my commercial I gon make fa this CD, ya dig!! Shout out ta my dawg B-Don too; a real dude I fuck wit to tha max!! Today actually marks 5 months I’ve had this song, and it’s now at its peak on my playlist! Started off slow in March/April, fell off around May, but picked up since July (thanx ta B-Don puttin’ me in his top friends and bein’ cool wit me), peakin’ at #4 on my playlist so far! I’m tryna push it ta #1, so HOPEFULLY that happens! Now, it’ll finally get a rating & review from FrankieThaLuckyDog!! >>> Glad it’s bein’ pushed REAL HARD now, ya dig!! I feel like it’s a slice of Pop now wit me ‘cause of tha way I be playin’ it like crazy!!! Too bad Pop and otha stations won’t even pay attention ta this! Either way, props ta Locco of Lil’ Boosie’s Bad Azz Entertainment label fa producin’ dis! J-Bo does his thang wit tha singin’ vs. rappin’; that’s REALLY watz good when it comes to dis Baton Rouge shit!! Gotta luv his flow on tha hook and tha verse wit tha switchin’ from rappin’ ta singin’! People on Word Of South said this beat was too slow for tha clubs. Well, it a lil’ slow, but it ain’t blocked from tha clubs! At first, I liked tha verses in tha order as: J-Bo > Puppy > B-Don. Now, it flipped (lol), and iz now B-Don > Puppy > J-Bo. No offense to anybody ‘cause tha song iz just FIRE!!! Anything I put on repeat iz tha shit!!! Puppy, you doin’ a REAL NICE job on tha 2nd verse wit tha way you sound on this shit! Gotta luv how you said, “I’m fresh, bruh;” that’s watz good! It’s considered an anthem in buku areas: clubs, hoods, streets, iPods, internets, lol, any otha places? When I first heard B-Don’s part, I thought he was gonna sound like a Lil’ Jish voice almost. But, he sounds deep and dark, so that’s REALLY watz good wit dis shit! Gotta luv his multiple pill parts wit tha “throw ‘em back, 2 by 2,” tha “I throw back like Fooboo [sp?],” and tha “you see dis jigga [?] will relieve yo headache, boo” parts!! I also liked dat he said his name 3x within tha last 4 lines. I didn’t even notice dat for a while, but I heard “B-Don so cool, dat’s why it just an undastandin’ dat B-Don iz so fly, dat’s why B-Don iz neva landin’,” so you KNOW you can’t fa’get tha name!! When I first heard it, my rating would’ve prolly been high 3.0’s ta low 4.0’s, but now, August 30, 2009, tha rating REAL NICE, ESPECIALLY since B-Don fuckin’ wit me more, Puppy fuckin’ wit me, and tha song REALLY explodin’ wit me!!! My Current Rating: 4.9


½time: Already at tha ½, and this CD iz FIRE!!! DEFINITELY a GR8 CD right here, and I couldn’t have thanked tha Camp Life representative anymore fa sendin’ it 2 me!!! I couldn’t have thanked you, Puppy, anymore fa sendin’ me tha tracklisting too; that’s REALLY watz good!! Let’s keep dis shit on and poppin’!!! Average CD rating iz currently at a WHOPPIN’ 4.5; HOLY SHIT!!!


10. “So Chill” Feat. EQ
Dis looks like it gon be a cool song, includin’ tha featured artist too. Let’s see how y’all gon do on dis one! >>> Feelin’ dat beat intro, fa sho! Yea, tha hook startin’ off wit dat gurl T-Dub! Nice combo wit EQ on tha hook too. Ooh, T-Dub said “bruh,” and she said “put dat purp up in tha air” too!! Great shit right here, and tha 2nd verse here, EQ style! Nice “hepitytus” (sp?) shit! Doin’ tha damn thang wit tha rappin’, and I like dat he said “bruh” too; keepin’ dis shit hot! Tha 3rd verse here, and it’s VERY DCF’d out, lol! You doin’ tha damn thang, Puppy. You DEFINITELY 100+% real on dis shit right here, doin’ non-stop shit!! You sound like you havin’ fun on dis one, doin’ a GREAT job! I don’t think T-Dub should’ve sang at tha end. Either way, HOT shit again! My Rating: 4.3


11. “Dumb&Stupid” Feat. Level
Looks real good on tha ID, but a lil’ controversy here. If you tryna push it, I’ma have ta ignore it unfortunately. Unless tha featured artist can ACCEPT thingz from me, let my name & talents be heard on his MySpace and all dat, THEN I’ll be able ta feel comfortable supportin’ him! I may try and call him one more time on Labor Day; will he accept my support? Let’s just hope tha featured person didn’t eva have sex wit T-Dub while makin’ this, lol! >>> You’re on tha beat again, Puppy, lol! It’s REALLY true dat you be doin’ dis shit!! REAL nice hook wit T-Dub on it, and tha 1st verse here from T-Dub herself, doin’ a nice job for err-body in tha club!! She “looks like candy,” so you KNOW she tasty! Dat boy Pup on tha 2nd verse; you sound like you havin’ fun again wit dis shit! Glad you “fulla dat fuckin’ fluid” and err-thang else you rappin’ about! Nice job from you, and tha both of you guys did a REAL nice job together!! Tha 3rd verse iz here, and… … … …
”WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER” BY DAVID GUETTA & KELLY ROWLAND JUST CAME ON MUSIC CHOICE DANCE!!! My Rating: 4.6


12. “Back2Back” Feat. Bro-Bro
I dunno if that’s your intentions of considerin’ tha title as 1 word instead of 3 (just like tha last song), but dat cool if it’s true. If I see anotha title spaced, then I’ll put tha title together. Anyway, this joint looks like it gon be on tha same level as tha last song; can it be true? >>> Yea, “back2back” wit dis HOT shit!! I think this beat sounds hotter for a start; might like dis one betta than tha last song! Did I hear “poppin’ pillz back2back?” Oh, shit!! Not only iz there Aladdin music in tha hook, but tha hook iz SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jiggalatin’ style!!!!!!!! It even included “weed” too in tha hook, and tha “throw back” shit!!! WHAT A REAL FUCKIN’ NICE FUCKIN’ HOOK!!!!! Tha 1st verse here, and it soundin’ REAL NICE; dat Bro-Bro? Doin’ tha damn thang on dis fuckin’ song!!!!!!!!!!! One of tha sound effects on tha beat reminds me of how Blu Black made it sound on Yung Yola’s “On My Shit” joint (e.g., tha 4th line part in tha beat [1:33])! REAL FUCKIN’ TIGHT, and Puppy, you’re on tha 2nd verse here!! Bro-Bro REALLY fuckin’ did tha DAMN THANG on dat 1st verse, and you’re just doin’ anotha REAL NICE job!!! Yea, “a blunt fulla purple,” and “pillz in my hand;” you’re TOO fuckin’ crazy!!!! I thought “I’m So Fly” was gonna actually be tha #1 song, but this song iz approachin’ a **PERFECT RATING** as I speak; can tha 3rd verse keep up? Holy shit, dat screamin’ right before tha 3rd verse; I’m in heaven wit dis shit right here!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still comin’ through REAL STRONG here; I hope I get ta talk ta Bro-Bro soon by tha way!! Still can’t tell if dat him on tha 3rd verse also, but it’s REAL, REAL nice!!! My Rating: 5.0


13. “Diggin’ You”
Real long on tha length once again (nearly 4:50)!! I guess I’ll non-space those last 2 titles like you did. Afta dat REAL BIG song previously, how will we continue?!? >>> Not borin’ in tha beat start, so that’s good. What’s up wit dat sound effect at about :03-:04 in? FUCKIN’ LUV IT!!! T-Dub soundin’ pretty catchy/sexy on tha hook here. Just like Goldie from last year (which sadly had no exposure on many outlets), T-Dub’ll “make your body talk!” Catchy 1st verse, and she soundin’ good on dis! Tha 2nd verse here, and it sounds like you doin’ ya thang on dis, Pup! LOL @ anotha “feelin’ like Foxx, mama, wipe me down” quote! So many people quote dat song, no less Foxx wit tha quote too, lol. Dub doin’ her thang on tha 3rd verse here, holdin’ tha song down! Up, here comes tha pup Puppy on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse, addin’ some good shit. My Rating: 4.2


14. “How You Like It” (Nu$$ie Feat. Puppy)
Anotha familiar title… *Checks* Yup, from “The Champ Iz Here”. It was an okay start at first ‘til Nu$$ie came in and talked about his “brown pickle,” LMFAO! This iz what originally went down wit an original 4.1 rating: Decent start wit a decent hook… It doesn’t sound like him on tha 1st verse, but it’s aight. Oh wait neva mind, that’s Puppy. Puppy sounded better on that last joint… Not too crazy about this. Maybe Nu$$ie can save it? LMFAO @ him talkin’ about his “brown pickle.” WOW, kept this song alive!! NEVA GIVE UP ON YOUR CAREER [Nu$$ie]!!! YOU’RE VERY WELL RESPECTED BY ME!!! YOU’LL NEVA DIE!!!!! And yeah, he’s DEFINITELY tough since he’ll fuck someone else’s mother! Was gonna rate this like a 3.6, but he saved this shit!! To Add: I dunno what I was thinkin’ ‘bout when I first heard it, but it’s REAL catchy in tha beginning! Gotta luv how Nu$$ie sounds in tha beginning, and Puppy, you comin’ through NICE on tha 1st verse here! Even on tha 2nd verse here, Puppy doin’ tha damn thang!! Oh wait, I heard Nu$$ come outta nowhere wit ad-libs here on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse! Sounds REAL nice!! See, I might’ve been bored at 1st ‘cause it took ‘til 3:04 ta get ta Nu$$ie’s part, when I was originally reviewin’ his CD, and expected him ta come in sooner. I wish it was true wit my “YOU’LL NEVA DIE!!!!!” comment! He REALLY ripped dat song, and I’m REAL GLAD I had done buku shit fa Nu$$ie throughout 2008! Although we neva met, as long as I got a shout out from him on a mixtape, as well as him appreciatin’ what I been doin’ for him, then you KNOW it’s a good sign!! My Current Rating: 4.4


15. “They Lied (Radio Edit)” Feat. Nu$$ie
Not even a pushed song for you, and you put tha radio edit! Let’s cross our fingers dat I get dat undaground Louisiana show ta work out at my college tomorrow or within tha week! I’m gettin’ nervous about it… See #2 fa tha review!


16. “Woa Jack (Radio Edit)” Feat. DJ B-Real
Thanx for ANOTHA radio edit! You KNOW if dis shit works out at my college, I’ll show you BUKU luv (hopefully they let me)!! I mean, they should let me do dis shit ‘cause it’s a part of my grade!! See #1 fa tha review!


17. “Satisfied (Radio Edit)” Feat. Kewanna MeCole
Shit yea!! See #3 fa tha review!


18. “Do What It Do (Radio Edit)” Feat. Nu$$ie
Hate ta see it end outta nowhere, but you KNOW I behind in grindin’ today, as well as cleanin’ up my room ta fuck up tha internet! Also, I guess there’s no “I’m So Fly” radio edit here? I guess it was too new? I look forward ta gettin’ it in tha future (hopefully when I have tha radio shift at my college)! See #6 fa tha review!


Overall: VERY GOOD CD RIGHT HERE!!! I wasn’t even in a review mood, but I HAD ta get this review done! There were 3 songs I FUCKIN’ LUVED LIKE CRAZY!!! They got 4.9-5.0 ratings!!! That’s REALLY watz good!!! Plus, pretty much EVERY SONG had a NICE rating!!! Tha whole CD was REAL NICE!!! Glad you fuckin’ wit me, Puppy!! Keep doin’ ya thang and T-Dub too!!
