Review #322: Jay Regal "315 Village St. (Welcome 2 West Baton Rouge) Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 10.16.2009 (Review #322)


FrankieThaLuckyDog right here, doin’ my 3rd review for tha day! This iz comin’ from my boy Jay Regal. I was ‘pose ta get this in tha mail almost 2 months ago, but I don’t know what happened ta S.B.R.; no responses or nothin’? I rememba also him sayin’, “I feel bad for your commercials on MySpace that have under 20 views. It feels like they don’t appreciate them or whateva.” However, how come tha J.A.P.A.N. commercial I made has 0 views within tha past month? Anyway, I don’t understand that situation, so I’m gonna just get into tha review: Here goes my review fa Jay Regal 315 Village St. (Welcome 2 West Baton Rouge) Vol. 1!! Start Time: 6:05 PM | End Time: 8:15 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!

01. “Jump Stupid” Feat. Dude Blitz, Reno Da Gutta & M.A.
This iz 1 of 2 songs in tha DatPiff folder labeled as Track #4… Sounds nice and wild in tha hook; you KNOW I’m feelin’ it!! Tha 1st verse iz soundin’ great wit dat real hood shit goin’ on! NICE “pop ‘em 2 by 2 keep me energized” part in tha 1st verse; str8 PURE Louisiana shit right here!! Dat was (I believe) Dude Blitz on tha 1st verse, and Reno’s on tha 2nd verse, all “powered up” on dis shit to tha fullest! “Get shots like a bartender;” nice line right there from Reno! Need “a fight song,” so I’m glad y’all (especially Reno on tha 2nd verse) “made dis a fight song!” Still keepin’ dis jungle-ass music continuous on tha 3rd verse from M.A., doin’ tha damn thang!! You doin’ a NICE job on tha 4th verse here, as you’re SOOOOOOO “retontoe!!” I luv your “I know you fulla dem pillz” part, as well as “out here sagged out;” you TOOOOOO hood wit his hood shit, my dawg!! REAL GLAD I’m real cool wit you, and doin’ buku shit fa you, ya dig!! Luv tha acapella at tha end, ESPECIALLY tha “jump stupid, nigga, nigga” part (where “nigga” iz said 2x back 2 back)!! You had tha best verse followed by Reno! My Current Rating: 4.7


02. “What U Mean I Ain’t Gansta”
Aren’t you forgettin’ tha word “ain’t” in tha title? I rememba usin’ this in one of tha commercials or somethin’ months ago; lemme hear tha whole thing! >>> Pretty good beat fa this shit right here, and tha hook IZ fully on its “gansta” shit!! Hearin’ what you were doin’ in tha 1st verse; glad you tellin’ me what’s goin’ on! Nice job on tha 1st verse, and you KNOW you tha truth wit this street shit right here, my boy! Still comin’ through REAL NICE wit this “gansta” shit on tha 2nd verse, my boy! “No shower,” so you KNOW you ALWAYS in these streetz!! Really enjoyin’ tha rhymes too; VERY consistent from every rhyme!! Yea!! There’s a 3rd verse, and you REALLY doin’ ya thang wit rappin’ ‘bout tha “cops” and err-thang! You KNOW I’ve been waitin’ fa this CD ta drop, and I’m glad it’s FINALLY here!!! My Rating: 4.4


03. “Get It How You Live” Feat. M.A. & Reno Da Gutta
They left tha features out in tha DatPiff tracklisting. I rememba this bein’ tha same beat as Southpaw & Rackley “Allstars”; this was tha beginning song on tha J.A.P.A.N. commercial, and here’s what went down: Anotha Baton Rouge vs. Baton Rouge beat ‘cause I heard this as Southpaw & Rackley “Allstars”, but also one of Lil’ Boxx’s song on his “Bring The Pain Mixtape Vol. 1” mixtape. Either way, nice hook, and you doin’ tha damn thang on tha hook and tha 1st verse! Pretty good 1st verse, and tha hook (of course) iz tha truth when it comes to dis Rap shit! Tha 2nd verse sounds like it really on its street business shit! Glad you “tryna fill your stomach up” ‘cause dat’s what you gotta do!! Reno comin’ through NICE on tha 3rd verse, str8 street shit!! Did he give a shout out ta Scoob (meanin’ Big Scoob) on tha 3rd verse? If so, then that’s DEFINITELY a plus ‘cause dat my boy right there; Jiggalators to tha fullest!! Nice, strong rhymes here, as they’re ALL listenable!! My Current Rating: 4.3


04. “Shinin’” Feat. Young Foley
Let’s see what we got wit this collaboration here! >>> A lil’ weird on tha intro, but pretty good beat here. Tha hook iz just like tha intro, but I guess it fits; I betta hear all you on tha verses though! Most definitely comin’ through wit that street shit, includin’ how “bitches luv tha way you jiggalate;” fuckin’ got SO much luv fa you, big dawg!! NICE job on tha 1st verse, my boy!! Nice start to tha 2nd verse, includin’ you luvin’ tha “Jump Stupid” song; I should radio edit that song next!! I like tha beat feel at 2:13; reminded me of Blu Black when he produced his “Out My Body” song! You don’t got a 3rd verse, as you’re talkin’ wit 1:34 left on tha song? I’m glad you talkin’, but… oh wait, neva mind, you repeated tha “bitches luv tha way I jiggalate” part real quick; glad you repeated it! However, it’s fadin’ out wit 1 minute left? Any talkin’? It’s just a minute of silence? *Sits and waits…* BOO!! A whole minute of silence; y’all should’ve cut it off! REAL GLAD you did ya thang on tha verses! My Rating: 4.1


05. “Ballout” Feat. J. Fletcha
I KNEW an undaground star was born when I saw you ALL FRESH wit tha blu polo, blu du-rag, and all dat in this recording session video shoot, ya dig!! MAJOR PROPS ta Cyber Promo 360 fa sendin’ it to me on MySpace; it made me discover you! Now, time ta give a review on tha whole song!! >>> Still got these pretty good beats ta go wit what you spittin’, ya dig! Tha hook does tha damn thang, and you REALLY do ya thang on tha 1st verse, spittin’ all you!! Nice job on tha 1st verse, and your boy Fletcha on tha 2nd verse. Y’all make a nice collab, and I’m glad dat video introduced me ta him too! He spit what he felt like, and now, I’m hearin’ tha 3rd verse for tha 1st time (since it wasn’t in dat video I don’t think)… You’re on it, and you’re just spittin’ what you’re interested in. REAL GLAD you’re “smellin’ like purple!” I just hung you and M.A.’s pic up on my wall along wit a bunch of otha artists from tha 225 that I luv, ya dig! I’m DYIN’ ta meet ya one day! You KNOW you my boy!!! Nice job wit tha beat ending too, doin’ tha damn thang! My Rating: 4.5


06. “We Rollin’” Feat. Lil’ Wubb
Raw Ha Records collaboration here between you and Wubb; lookin’ forward ta this!! >>> Sounds like a clock countin’ down in tha beginning, lol. DEFINITELY soundin’ anticipatin’ at :14 wit tha beat! You soundin’ REAL catchy on tha hook, Regal!! I thought tha song was about “rollin’” in tha whip, but it’s BETTA ‘cause it’s “rollin’” up tha kush!! You on tha 1st verse, and it sounds like you’re just LUVIN’ life right now, ya dig!! Good job on tha 1st verse; you NEVA fail wit this Rap shit!! Dat boy Wubb on tha 2nd verse, and he’s soundin’ good on this shit! He anotha one that luvs what I be doin’ fa 225 peeps! Catchy shit right here, so that’s a plus! I’m reviewin’ his CD after this one, so look out fa his review too! Nice job on this shit, and it looks like a long beat outro wit 55 seconds left. Fuck! It stopped at 34 seconds remainin’, so there’s 34 seconds of silence. My Rating: 4.4


07. “Walk Back” Feat. M.A.
Let’s see if it’s really 4:34 on tha length… You got ya boy M.A. on this thang!! >>> Iz that K.T. on tha track? Y’all must be glad y’all hooked up wit him! Tha beat start iz REALLY catchy, ESPECIALLY at :17!! LOL @ this!! This at least izn’t a dance song, but iz for tha ladies ta get down to, soundin’ REAL GOOD wit dat REAL NICE beat!!! You’re REALLY inta this on tha 1st verse, my boy! Keep this shit up, bein’ in luv like crazy!! REALLY lookin’ forward ta M.A. spittin’ on this one; here he comes on tha 2nd verse! Yea, he doin’ tha damn thang on here, spittin’ tha same shit you be spittin’ on this track! Nice job on this shit, but nope, it’s 3:35 on tha length, as there’s 59 seconds of silence. My Rating: 4.3


½time: Lookin’ like a REAL GOOD CD right now, Jay!! You told me it was gonna be for tha drug dealers, tha killaz, tha hoes, and tha ladies, as well as ridin’/smokin’ music, and it’s DEFINITELY a gumbo pot right now!! I look forward to tha remainin’ 7 songs!! Tha average CD rating iz NICE too: 4.4!!


08. “What It’s Going For” Feat. Lil’ Wubb
Looks like a drug song; I KNOW I’ll luv it if it iz!! >>> You sound REAL good in tha beginning wit that good beat! I think it IZ a drug song!! Hearin’ tha hook, and it’s soundin’ REAL, REAL GOOD!!! REAL NICE start to tha 1st verse wit “you want a fiya bag?” I swear, like I said all tha time, you’re A BLESSIN’!!! Glad you were true when you said, “I got somethin’ for tha drug dealaz!” DEFINITELY feelin’ tha lyrics in tha 1st verse; 100% STREET SHIT!!! Yea, Wubb’s on tha 2nd verse! Let’s see his drug shit… Soundin’ good on this shit! “Don’t hit me wit dat cheap stuff;” I feel dat! Nice job contributin’, Wubb! Too bad tha length iz short here; could’ve used tha silence on tha otha songs ta create a 3rd verse! My Rating: 4.6


09. “1 Pound” Feat. Heata Boy
It’s JUST you, and tha drug dealin’ topics ARE CONTINUIN’!!!!! >>> You said, “got my nigga Heata Boy up in this bitch,” so iz he missin’ from tha ID? We’ll see, but I FUCKIN’ LUV tha “blunt afta blunt afta blunt afta blunt…” shit in tha beginning!! Tha hook iz REALLY watz good wit tha way it’s screwed a lil’ and tha title!! This iz more on tha smokin’ topic, so that’s REALLY watz good!!!!! Luvin’ all your lyrics in tha 1st verse, ESPECIALLY tha coughin’!! REAL TIGHT on tha 1st verse; you doin’ it REAL, REAL BIG FA Port Allen!!! You are DEFINITELY tha undaground king of Port Allen!!! I guess tha ID was missin’ somethin’, as I’m sure dat’s Heata Boy on tha 2nd verse… He REALLY enjoyin’ dat reefa and all dat good shit! Glad he “flyin’ wit tha eagles,” and “higher than an avalanche” (I think that was both lines); REAL NICE job!!! REAL GLAD there’s a 3rd verse FINALLY!!! You’re REALLY inta tha smokin’ session here!! “High as giraffe ass” you said? LOL, lemme get Husk! Also glad you “don’t go anywhere without puffin’ on dat Mary Jane,” ESPECIALLY “ridin’ through Gardere Lane!” BIG SHOUT OUT ta G-Lane!! My Rating: 4.8


10. “She Like”
Now, goin’ to tha ladies this time; let’s see what you got fa 3 minutes flat! >>> Maybe this iz for tha hoes, lol. Likin’ tha beat, especially tha hook, as it sounds like a desert! Tha female on tha hook also sounds good too! Nice lil’ combo here, and it sounds like your flow iz simple on this song. I like that “knew she was a thug when she lit up tha ‘gar fa me” part; you REALLY get ya smoke on even when unexpected!! Tha flow was also on its simple level on tha 2nd verse too. Pretty catchy shit right here, as you ALWAYS doin’ it big! My Rating: 4.1


11. “Magic Carpet”
Only 2:15 on tha length this time? Let’s see how much you SHINE on this “magic carpet,” lol! >>> Now, I think this iz for tha ladies right here… Not only that, but a FUSION of smokin’ too, lol!! REAL NICE/unexpected fusion, as well as luvin’ your smokin’ still! Glad you delivered for her ta “lick it, suck it;” good job, Jay! I liked tha beat afta tha 1st verse, you know! Good shit right here, and it fit REAL good in this gumbo pot of Jay Regal! My Rating: 4.2


12. “We Gone Party Tonight” Feat. M.A.
You KNOW when I see “gon” as “gone” on its spelling, I get anticipated ta see what we got!! >>> Continuin’ on wit tha catchy beats, tha intro sounds pretty catchy wit its beat! Sounds like “a house party” type of hook goin’ on here! Actually, that was just tha intro: Tha hook iz now here, and it’s SO FUCKIN’ TIGHT wit tha “get tha weed, get tha pillz;” REALLY fuckin’ got LOTS of luv fa you, Jay Regal!! And tha “sagged out ‘bauds on” too, makin’ tha 1st verse REAL GR8 already!!! REAL NICE job on tha 1st verse, and tha hook iz just TOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!! Here you are on tha 2nd verse, now addin’ sexualness to tha song! Glad you havin’ a gumbo pot fulla this song!! Nice job on tha 2nd verse, and this song iz just TOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!! Someone featured on tha 3rd verse? Iz that M.A.? Why no feature on DatPiff? He doin’ tha damn thang on some “house party” shit here! Feelin’ tha rhymes in this, fa real! REAL NICE job, and I FUCKIN’ LUV THA HOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tha ending even had him repeatin’ a lil’ bit of tha beginning of his verse for a bridge; nice shit here! My Rating: 4.9


13. “Bounce”
Still keepin’ these lengths long (I hope) wit 4:37 on tha length!! This shit looks like it gon be… I can’t even tell; lemme hear it!! >>> I might’ve heard that intro somewhere… Maybe it was from one of tha intros from a Raw Ha Records video on you? Either way, tha beginning to tha hook sounds good, although what does it have ta do wit tha title? Okay, I hear it now in tha 2nd ½ of tha hook, and it sounds good. Extended hook as it repeated already, as tha 1st verse finally started at 1:23. Oh wait, STILL not a 1st verse? What’s wit all tha repeatin’? Tha 1st verse iz here… 2:12 IN!! Iz it even considered in a verse form? I think tha way this song iz made iz different ‘cause it’s more on tha hook/title. My bad for all this confusion; I neva really saw any of this happen before. This iz extremely repetitive, lol! *Shocked* An ending at 3:50? And even a GR8 endin’ wit “fuck my baby mama, fuck my baby daddy!” Glad you at least switched it up at tha end. LOL, iz my review for this song in a lingo or what?! My Rating: 4.0


14. “Hotspittin’ (Freestyle)”
This was that freestyle that I featured in your pre-commercial & J.A.P.A.N. commercial? I have a feelin’ it iz; let’s see… >>> Doesn’t sound like it in tha beginning, and there’s a beat this time. Tha beat iz a lil’ different, but sounds nice wit you rappin’ on it! Interestin’ rhymes goin’ on here, and I’m feelin’ ‘em, ya dig! Nice job wit tha freestyle, but don’t tell me you’re havin’ tha last 2:18 as just tha beat… IT SOUNDS LIKE IT! Should’ve shortened that length by like at least 1 ¾ minutes!! I won’t deduct fa dat; I’ll just count tha freestyle. My Rating: 4.3


Overall: It looked like it took 2 hours and 10 minutes, but I was liftin’ weights, talkin’ ta my cousin & rappin’ grandma, so that took up time. Anyway, REAL NICE job on this CD, my boy!! Too bad tha people that don’t know how ta get rid of tha silence have ta sit through like 3 minutes of silence on tha CD, but you know me, I can edit it out, ya dig! DEFINITELY felt what you brought to tha table here, and I wish there was more songs! However, I got ta hear tha J.A.P.A.N. CD last month, so at least I got 2x tha Regal, ya dig! Keep this Rap shit goin’, and you KNOW I’ma ALWAYS support you wit dis shit!!
