Review #360: Short Bus Boyz "Operation Starvation"

Reviewed on 12.13.2009 (Review #360)


Here I am again!! It’s FrankieThaLuckyDog in tha buildin’, ‘bout ta do my 360th review fa tha Short Bus Boyz! They said they put this one out earlier this year and it hit DatPiff recently! Here goes my review fa Short Bus Boyz Operation Starvation! Start Time: 11:30 PM | End Time: 12:45 AM


Quick Note: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0. Each rating iz my own opinion!! I only please myself with 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) so 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.

© 2009 CD Review by FrankieThaLuckyDog. Other than tha main artist or affiliated people with tha main artist, this review iz to not be used in anyone else’s words!


01. Intro
I would luv ta hear what y’all got fa an intro!! >>> I was lookin’ at tha last CD’s tracklisting just now and I didn’t realize fa a second that y’all had an intro on dat too! Howeva, this iz a song intro since I hear tha rappin’. Well actually, only a few of tha lines were rapped so this ain’t exactly a song intro. Tha beat iz DEFINITELY hot here on tha intro! Just like tha History In The Making (The Mixtape) CD, this should be REAL HOT!!! My Rating: N/A


02. “Poppin’”
This looks like an interestin’ title… But wit tha otha CD, I had tha hard copy so I was able ta see tha producers and all dat. Either way, most of tha tracks are prolly still produced by either Boo or D.Jackson! This joint should start thangz off GR8 as it’ll DEFINITELY be on and “poppin’,” ya dig!! >>> This sounds like a Boo beat and it’s DEFINITELY hot fa Baton Rouge, ya dig!! Tha beginning wit tha hook iz DEFINITELY HOT wit tha “from tha club to tha hoes to tha drugs…” part!! REAL GLAD it’s a BIG jiggalatin’ 1st verse!! It was cool and iz tha hook here now at tha 1:10 mark around? I thought it was in tha beginning but it sounded good; nice shit here! Oh wait, it iz tha hook; that was tha 1st ½ of it and tha 2nd ½ was an extra part wit tha “from tha club to tha hoes to tha drugs…” part! Tha 2nd verse holdin’ it down here to tha fullest, cool style. Although it was somewhat hard ta hear tha dude on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse (just like wit tha 1st verse), it held it down!! I believe dat was my boy from tha Short Bus Boyz who I like tha most outta all six of y’all! Tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse soundin’ good; lol @ tha “fightin’ like Chris Brown” part so you KNOW tha Chris Brown/Rihanna thing happened already fa this ta be 2009! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse has a REAL GR8 voice fa this shit!! Tha flow was gr8 and this shit iz DEFINITELY on and “poppin’!!” My Rating: 4.4


03. “Let Me In”
It must’ve been REAL TIGHT fa it ta appear on here again!! I made sure I checked and when I heard tha intro, you KNOW I recognized who produced it: D.Jackson!! I had a “Wanna Bite Chu” Lil’ Boxx type of anticipation for tha beginning and I was right! This shit iz soundin’ catchy wit tha hook and tha beat iz just NICE; Baton Rouge to tha fullest!!! Tha 1st ½ of tha 1st verse on its “do my dance” type shit… Not much on tha criticism tip here so I’ll give it props for its Baton Rouge sound! Soundin’ on tha gangsta-club tip on tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse, which I’m feelin’ betta, so that’s a plus! You KNOW a commercial’ll look GR8 for this CD also!! Tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good! “Not givin’ a fuck” here so you KNOW you doin’ ya thang!! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse iz on its “food stamp line” shit here. That’s not tha way ta get your money up so at least y’all pretty big on tha undaground scene in BR! Glad they fit a 3rd verse here… Tha 1st ½ of it “feelin’ good” on its Baton Rouge sound to tha fullest! Tha lyrics reminded me of Ceddybu for a second, lol! Speakin’ of Ceddy, soundin’ a lil’ like him again on tha 2nd ½ of tha verse too! Glad y’all keepin’ tha club style up here!! My Current Rating: 4.5


04. “Don’t Make Me” Feat. Junya & Kidd Kidd
Glad y’all got anotha Kidd Kidd collaboration as well as ya boy Junya on this shit!! DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta hearin’ once again and I predict it havin’ a Boo sound in tha beat!!! >>> Why iz tha vocals on tha hook so damn low?? It sounded good fa what it was. Tha 1st ½ of tha 1st verse has a gr8 voice (although still low) and tha rhymes flow GR8 on this GR8 beat!! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse still keepin’ it Southern wit tha voice and flow!! Tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse has a NICE start; gotta luv tha voices and flows on this CD!!! Nothin’s betta than catchin’ attention, ya dig!! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse keepin’ it street here wit tha street content, ya dig!! DEFINITELY feelin’ it to tha fullest!! I hear Kidd Kidd on tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse here. I wonder what’s been up wit him? I tried callin’ him tha otha day and nothin’ happened… He did a nice job deliverin’ this shit here! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse sounds like one of Kidd Kidd’s featured artists on his “I’m A Dog In Da Club” joint based off tha attitude and voice!! You KNOW it’s prolly my boy outta tha Short Bus Boyz and that they did tha damn thang on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse to tha fullest!!! My Rating: 4.5


05. “Loosen Up (Shid Who)”
LOL, once again!! I opened up one of my November radio shows up wit this song and gave y’all and y’all manager a shout out, ya dig! As for tha song, you KNOW tha beat goes gr8 wit this shit ESPECIALLY wit tha hook in tha beginning!! Glad y’all created tha “shid, who” sayin’!! Tha hook iz DEFINITELY nice and tha 1st ½ of tha 1st verse iz DEFINITELY on its jiggalatin’ shit; you KNOW I fuckin’ luv dat jiggalatin’ shit!!! NICE job right there and tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse iz tha shit my heart beats for!! Dat REAL GR8 flowin’ ova REAL GR8 beats like this wit Baton Rouge/jiggalatin’ type of lyrics!!! Tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse soundin’ like it blendin’ in pretty good on this shit; nice pace on tha fast lyrics! Keepin’ tha dancin’ movin’ on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse and it’s DEFINITELY soundin’ good for this club-type shit! Tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse has a REAL GR8 voice fa tha verse here!! DEFINITELY tight shit right here!! I sometimes confuse y’all wit Ville Boyz; y’all have “boyz” in y’all name so I get confused. Either way, y’all betta fa me! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse, well, it’s just keepin’ it clubbish, lol! My Current Rating: 4.7


06. “Feeling Lika Beast” Feat. Young Rouge
“Likin’” tha word “lika!” I’m also likin’ Young Rouge’s name fa this shit!! This should be REAL GR8; I can feel it!!! >>> I’m pretty sure this iz a Boo soundin’ on tha beat once again! Tha hook start sounds REAL, REAL GR8!!! You KNOW this iz 100% Baton Rouge right here wit tha jiggalatin’ song/hook and tha 2nd ½ of tha hook repeatin’ tha title, Baton Rouge style!!! Too bad wit all y’all, I may not be able ta figure out which one iz Young Rouge… Either way, we’ll see what I think of each verse: Tha 1st verse (not in ½s or nothin’) sounded pretty good; DEFINITELY goin’ beast mode here!! Oh, I was able ta catch Young Rouge’s start on tha 2nd verse; glad he said his name!! He sounds gr8 on this shit fa a 1st listen! I can barely hear him but he doin’ tha damn thang!! When I thought someone else was gon jump on tha track durin’ tha ½ mark of tha 2nd verse, no, Young Rouge stayed on tha track and went, “bow, bow!!” DEFINITELY watz good here!!! My boy iz on tha 3rd verse here, ya dig!!! Gotta luv tha gangsta and gutta style of tha flow and voice here to tha FUCKIN’ FULLEST!!!!! Really luvin’ tha jiggalatin’ shit here!!! Real blessed ta be cool wit tha Short Bus Boyz and their manager!!! Originally planned ta give this a 4.8 but afta tha 3rd verse, it helped ta increase tha rating anotha level!!! My Rating: 4.9


07. “Bus Girl” Feat. Tremaine
That’s good that this iz here also, includin’ tha whole “bus” theme!! D.Jackson did tha production and it’s a lil’ different for me, lol. At least y’all kept tha “bus” in tha title. I guess tha featured person iz a male singer on tha hook… Sounds like he has Auto-Tune but this iz tolerable. I like tha “SBG” part for “Short Bus Girl.” Tha 1st ½ of tha 1st verse sounds pretty good on this beat; likin’ tha beat style wit tha Rock sound! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse has a nice flow for this “SBG,” lol! I REALLY liked how tha dude on tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse came through right before he got on tha verse! REALLY feelin’ his voice and he did his thang wit tha lyrics! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse has one word: BULLSHIT! Auto-Tune iz shitty as fuck! Fuck tha “T-Pain” part on tha 3rd hook. Tha 3rd verse sounds like a bad Lil’ Wayne… Nice “Crayola” part but that voice style has ta go! LOL, no 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse, lol! This song sounds good fa what it iz although tha negative parts I talked about prevent it from bein’ a 4.0+ rating. I didn’t like tha vocalizin’ at tha end also… My Current Rating: 3.8


08. “B.R.” Feat. K.T.
LOL, this reminded me of your “225” song; they’re nearly alike for tha title. It should be REAL GR8 once again!!! >>> I can’t tell who did tha beat here for a start… Since it’s slower, I’d say D.Jackson? Sounds like this iz a sequel to tha “Bus Girl” song at first wit tha vocals but tha hook iz on a gangsta tip for tha singin’ so it sounds good from K.T.! Gotta luv my boy on tha 1st ½ of tha 1st verse; “real gutta and grimy!!” Tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse REALLY definin’ what it like in “Baton Rouge, Louisiana,” ya dig! I do wish err-body would calm down wit tha “tooley” all tha time; it’s like an obsession. But yea, real shit spit in tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse and I KNOW it gon continue!! Tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse iz true: “We gotta make somethin’ shake;” I’m glad I’m helpin’ each and everyone one of y’all!! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse has a WHOLE LOTTA LUV fa “B.R.” to tha fullest!! Gotta luv tha gutta voice here as it’s VERY upbeat!! More protection against dyin’ in tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse… I guess that’s how ta survive although it’s EXTREMELY outta hand!!!!! Glad “Baton Rouge” REALLY still representin’ in tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse too; glad y’all represent it to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.1


½time: Just like tha History In The Making (The Mixtape) CD, this iz DEFINITELY watz good!!! Y’all just KEEP comin’ wit tha heat, no matter WHEN it iz!!! Keep doin’ tha damn thang and I will KEEP supportin’ y’all to tha fullest!!! Tha NICE average CD rating at this moment iz 4.4!!


09. Skit
LOL, a random skit! DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta hearin’ what’s gonna go on wit it!!! >>> You KNOW I luv when Baton Rouge people talk, ESPECIALLY wit tha word “bruh;” I LUV that word!!! Sounded like an interestin’ skit from comin’ from nothin’ ta endin’ up wit a lil’ somethin’ now! My Rating: N/A


10. “Broke Nigga”
And I guess this joint explains it… I don’t know how much I’ll feel it (based off tha title and tha skit ta be before it) so I’ll see what it do. >>> Although slow, tha beginning sounds like Boo a lil’ on tha beat sounds. Tha hook iz at least a Rich Boy sample (that’s what it sounds like). Good job wit havin’ tha sample instead of someone singin’ it at least! Tha 1st verse iz my boy from tha Short Bus Boyz doin’ tha damn thang on tha come up!! Glad he had tha WHOLE verse ‘cause it DEFINITELY held it down to tha fullest!!! Tha 2nd verse soundin’ like it comin’ straight from tha streetz here!! Glad this verse also iz just one dude ‘cause it’s holdin’ it down for all those on tha come up!! Tha 3rd verse dealin’ wit some hood shit, ya dig! It was GR8 for tha 1st ½ of it but like I just said wit tha “½,” a 2nd ½ became enabled in tha 3rd verse and tha dude that was on it did a nice job followin’ up tha 1st ½! My Rating: 4.2


11. “Off The Meter” Feat. Kidd Kidd
Ooh, ANOTHA Kidd Kidd collaboration!!! DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta this one on a predicted Boo beat!!! >>> I can’t tell between who it could be on tha beat between Boo or D.Jackson but I think it’s Boo now that I hear more of tha hook! Tha beat iz DEFINITELY nice and just like tha “Feeling Lika Beast” joint, this sounds like tha same wit tha “power up” shit; DEFINITELY enjoyin’ it!!! Tha 1st verse iz from Kidd Kidd and it sounds GR8 wit all tha “throwin’ back” shit as well as jiggalatin’ to tha fullest!!! Tha “throw backs” are increasin’, lol!! Do they go past “throwin’ four back?” Tha 2nd verse OF COURSE had ta have a REAL GR8 follow up ta my boy Kidd Kidd!! It’s my boy from tha Short Bus Boyz doin’ it B.I.G. here!!! DEFINITELY luv how he comes through on tha verses REAL, REAL GR8!!! Iz his name J-Skills (who Kidd Kidd rolls wit)? I swear, they have such similar voices and flows!! REAL, REAL GR8 2nd verse right there from my boy!!! Here’s tha 3rd verse and it’s DEFINITELY on a jiggalatin’ tip; this shit NEVA ends! It keeps this shit goin’ and you GOTTA LUV THIS if you a pill poppa!!! My Rating: 4.7


12. “Watch How I Act”
Boo on tha beat here!! I know dat from hearin’ it on tha otha CD!! Cool-ass beat here and tha hook sounds pretty cool. I like tha swag part in tha 1st ½ and tha 2nd ½ STILL has tha repetitiveness Baton Rouge formula hook!!! GR8 shit so far!!! Tha 1st ½ of tha 1st verse sounds REAL GOOD fa this shit right here!! Really feelin’ how y’all comin’ through!! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse has a lil’ bit of jiggalatin’ in it so I’m SO in luv wit this too!! Tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse has a REAL cool voice fa this club shit right here! Nice job deliverin’ this verse wit a HUGE self-esteem!! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse sounds REAL GR8 wit tha “wildin’ out” shit goin’ on here!! LOL, it sounds like Ceelo on tha hook at times. What do we got in stores for tha 3rd verse? Yea, we got a real cool voice here for tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse doin’ tha damn thang!! He just UNDENIABLE!!! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse doin’ a nice job too!! TOO FUCKIN’ CONSISTENT here!!! Tha BEST consistency of this CD since tha very beginning!!! My Current Rating: 4.6


13. “Put Ya Body In It”
Yea!! More REAL GR8 shit once again!!! As I said before, it’s quite ironic wit tha “Loosen Up” song that I mentioned Young True and his “Body N It” song tha last time. Now, it’s tha opposite: Y’all got a “body in it” title as it’s 3/5’s of tha title, lol. Wit Boo on tha beat, this has a NICE start to tha beat intro although it sounds like Yung Joc “It’s Goin’ Down.” Tha hook REALLY came in strong and you KNOW I like tha whole “jiggin’” shit!! Tha hook’s content of tha “body in it” shit iz like equivalent to Young True’s song, lol. Nice job on tha 1st ½ of tha 1st verse and tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse iz on its dance tip too, lol. It sounds GR8 for this beat ESPECIALLY on a Baton Rouge tip! I liked Young True’s song betta but this has somewhat betta production! Almost thought that was Boosie on tha 2nd verse, lol. Nope, it’s one of y’all and y’all REALLY luvin’ tha whole “body in it” type shit, lol! Nice job wit tha end of tha ½ verse wit tha flow! Oh, shit! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse has a REAL STRONG flow ESPECIALLY wit tha attitude of tha voice!! PERFECT for goin’ hype in tha club!! Tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse sounded like Kevin Gates wit “Get In Here;” lol @ tha “sounding like”s! Pretty good job wit tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse and you KNOW tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse doesn’t have ta worry about forgettin’ about catchiness; it’s catchy from start ta finish wit tha flow! My Current Rating: 4.4


14. “Feeling Lika Beast” Feat. Young Rouge
Why iz this song on here again? LOL… Not even radio edited or nothin’? Iz this like an error or somethin’? I’ve neva seen tha same song be on tha same CD 2x (unless it was a radio edit), lol. I must say: See #6 fa tha review!


15. “Can’t You Tell” Feat. Lil’ Yungin’
This looks like an interestin’ collaboration (based off tha featured artist’s name). I wonder what it’ll exactly sound like… >>> Sounds cool and it sounds like a Boo beat once again!! Nice start to tha beat and tha hook sounds cool if you willin’ ta pay fa thingz (since y’all “got money out tha ass”)! LMAO @ tha start of tha 1st verse wit “I’m tha shit, I’m somethin’ like a turd!” Nice job done on tha 1st verse deliverin’ some catchy shit here. Nothin’ but embraced Baton Rouge shit right here; you KNOW I’m luvin’ EVERY BIT OF IT!!! I can tell tha 2nd verse has ta be this Lil’ Yungin’ dude… I’m assumin’ he (or she?) a 15, 16 year old here… Nice flow although I’d prolly wait a few years ‘til tha voice sounds betta than just a kid. Tha 3rd verse sounds like it off to a good start; ROFL @ “I’m tha shit, I’m fresh out tha asshole!!” Oh, so shitful it’s not even funny, lmao!! I like tha ending wit tha acapella!! My Rating: 4.3


16. “Gorilla Mode (Remix)”
Aight, what iz this remix? What happened to tha original version? Must be old or somethin’… Anyway, should DEFINITELY be GR8; ANOTHA “beast” song!!! >>> Yea, a DEFINITE Boo beat here since it said, “Boo on tha muthafuckin’ track!” I need ta find him on MySpace or somethin’! This definitely sounds a lil’ older and tha hook DEFINITELY in “gorilla mode” here; gotta luv tha buckness of tha attitudes!! Gr8 job deliverin’ tha “gorilla’d up” hook!!! Tha 1st ½ of tha 1st verse sounds like it’s gr8 wit my boy ad-libbin’ back ‘n’ forth in tha back! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse fit gr8 for a 2nd ½; nice job wit this buck shit!! Tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse sounds like we gon get buck up in here!! Gotta feel tha “bow, bow, bow” shit!! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse iz DEFINITELY on tha fight tip and it’s DEFINITELY tight fa a track!!! Tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse keepin’ it gangsta here wit tha “gorilla clips” bein’ let out here! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse has a REAL NICE flow; gotta luv this shit to tha fullest!!! REAL TIGHT job wit this older track!!! My Rating: 4.6


17. Outro
Time ta end it… >>> REAL GLAD y’all did “come wit tha mixtape” ‘cause it DEFINITELY was hot!! I know y’all wanna “come wit tha album;” I KNOW it’ll happen soon!! Yea, DEFINITELY “liked every song on here,” ya heard me!! I had tha same feelin’ fa tha History In The Making (The Mixtape) mixtape too!! Glad y’all gave a shout out ta “Kidd Kidd” here on tha shout outs!! Soon, y’all be givin’ me a shout out to tha fullest!!! My Rating: N/A


Overall: REAL NICE job here wit this CD!!! It’s like 2/2 wit deliverin’ STR8 HOT SHIT!!!!! I got buku luv fa y’all so keep it up!!!
