Review #373: IL Duce "Feed Me Rappers, Feed Me Beats Vol. 2"

Reviewed on 12.29.2009 (Review #373)




And now, time fa anotha IL Duce review from ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog! Here goes my review, followin’ tha previous one, fa IL Duce Feed Me Rappers, Feed Me Beats Vol. 2! Start Time: 6:28 PM | End Time: 7:40 PM



Quick Note: 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) 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.

01. Supamike Intro
Who iz this Supamike dude? Hope he sounds just as good on (DJin’?) whateva he does just like DJ PK1 on tha last mixtape!! >>> LOL @ tha gurl in tha beginning! Yea, this dude DEFINITELY sounds just as good as DJ PK1 on tha intro!! Gotta luv tha strong voice fa an introduction fa a mixtape!! My Rating: N/A


02. “Perfect Timing”
DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta seein’ how much you HOLD this mixtape down!!! >>> Sounds like some REAL HOT production here!!! I really like how Supamike talks about tha beat!! He DEFINITELY has such a REAL GR8 intro!!! Here you are finally at tha :50 mark on this REAL HOT beat soundin’ gr8 on tha mic!! DEFINITELY some catchy-ass lyrics here too!! Who did this beat? They should DEFINITELY get an award fa “Louisiana Producer Of Tha Year” next year on my Louisiana Awards, ya dig!! Tha 1st verse DEFINITELY did tha damn thang and you just CRAZY wit this shit right here!!! Tha hook iz REAL, REAL TIGHT TOO!!! Already, this iz off to a REAL GR8/BETTA start ta this mixtape!!! TOO CRAZY RIGHT HERE!!!!! Glad you’re “in it fa tha game;” I am too. Howeva, it would be nice ta get money here and there fa what I do! Tha 2nd verse DEFINITELY sounded nice and did its thang on this REAL CRAZY joint right here!!! DEFINITELY sounds like it could open up 2010 in a MAJOR WAY!!!!! I really like tha start to tha 3rd verse wit tha catchy-ass rhymes!!! It’s slowly workin’ its way ta a **PERFECT RATING** right here; I can feel it wit tha beat!!! Nothin’ but COMPLETE CONSISTENTNESS HERE!!!!!!!!!! I need a non-mixed version of this so I can put it on my radio show ASAP!!!!! My Rating: 5.0


03. “Forever”
Switchin’ up ta a known song… Hope you do it like Drake and tear up this song just like you did wit tha last song!!! >>> At least it’s 2:43 now unlike tha last mixtape where it was seconds! Tha 1st verse here from you iz DEFINITELY tha truth ‘cause you sayin’ you’re “consistent;” it’s DEFINITELY true here!!! I’m REAL GLAD I’m hearin’ more of your music ‘cause it sounds like we can do tha damn thang wit this business shit to tha fullest!! Interestin’ lyrics again throughout tha 1st verse; too tight!! Here you are on anotha verse here and it’s DEFINITELY a GR8 “delivery” here!! TOO TIGHT and DEFINITELY an evolution from tha last mixtape!! I DEFINITELY gotta make a commercial fa this mixtape!! Gonna try and plan out a special idea fa you ‘cause you DEFINITELY tearin’ this mixtape up!! GR8 job wit tha 2nd verse too!!! My Rating: 4.6


04. “Vocabulary”
Tha place where Mod Productions got this mixtape download link from (Urban Warehouse or somethin’), this iz embedded on tha page of yours on dat website. It must be REAL, REAL CRAZY if it has a title like this!! I expect nothin’ but REAL CONSISTENT-ASS rhymes!!!!! >>> A “Piper” beat? That was just a guess… I thought I heard a tag in tha beginning… You’re startin’ off wit a verse here and it sounds gr8 wit all tha lyrics! I can hear all tha content goin’ on here and it DEFINITELY sounds nice! LOL @ “feelin’ an erection” due to tha “mill.” I dunno about money causin’ an erection though but tha beat DEFINITELY sounded like it got hot at :40 and now, it’s hotter at :58!! Talk about interestin’ here… You REALLY holdin’ this shit down to tha fullest!!! I can feel lyrical shit like this on a real interestin’ beat wit a real interestin’ flow of yours!! Glad you gave a shout out ta “Mod Productions” a lil’ past tha 2:00 mark! I was right about tha beat person; you said it: “Piper on tha track!” My Rating: 4.5


05. “On Dat Level (Remix)” Feat. Lil’ Cali & Level
Didn’t I hear this on tha last mixtape? Neva mind, it was a remix. Now, it’s an original? Goin’ backwards? Let’s see… >>> Anotha Piper beat here… Oh neva mind, it’s tha remix; got tha warnin’ again! Let’s see what I said recently: I don’t know if I have eva heard this joint before but it sounds gr8 fa what it iz! Your 1st verse was good; str8 tight shit! Tha hook sounds good too wit you and Lil’ Cali combinin’!! He’s even on tha 2nd verse here! Pretty good combo here; glad you fuck wit some real dudes (minus one)! As for tha 3rd verse, once again, gotta do my lil’ “skippin’!” My Current Rating: 4.4


06. “Dat Ain’t Me”
Looks like an interestin’ title! I’m DEFINITELY lookin’ forward as your jointz ALWAYS go hard!!! >>> No intro and a catchy hook ta start it off! Tha beat iz pretty good too! I like how you said, “get a verse from IL Duce, naw, dat ain’t free!” It’s DEFINITELY true and sooner or later, everything I do AIN’T gon be free all tha time!! Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good wit tha catchy-ass lyrics and tha flow too! Tha 2nd verse iz now here and it has more gr8 lyrics ta flow wit tha track itself! You sound like you gon be like a nominated artist fa 2010 when I do my 3rd Annual Louisiana Awards Of 2010, a year from now, lol. Even a 3rd verse fit on here and it sounded good too, ya dig! Glad you keepin’ this shit on and poppin’ to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.4


07. “Look At Me (Remix)” Feat. Level
Was this tha same version from tha last CD or was it updated? Regardless, I KNOW this some GR8 shit dat Mod Productions produced!!! >>> You sound pretty good wit deliverin’ tha lyrics in tha 1st verse, doin’ tha damn thang here wit your style! You DEFINITELY have a GR8 connection wit Mod Productions!! Talk about a HOT beat here when it’s at tha :52 mark!! DEFINITELY comin’ through wit tha catchy shit here!! I feel like tha catchiness neva ends!! I like tha “blunt comin’ around” part a whole lot!! Glad you DEFINITELY showin’ off all your cool attributes to tha fullest!! Tha hook iz pretty much tha same as tha original version of this song and it’s STILL catchy to tha fullest!! Tha 2nd verse sounds good too; you REALLY fulla dat GR8 shit when it comes ta this Rap shit right chea!!! I felt funny about tha 3rd verse… Although there was no source, I’m not stupid when it comes ta recognizin’ voices! I didn’t fall for it this time so it was GR8 ta skip tha 3rd verse!! My Rating: 4.7


08. “Interlude Flow”
Looks like you ‘bout ta get on your freestyle-type shit fa a second! Speakin’ of second, there’s 100 of ‘em on this one so use ‘em ALL wisely!!! >>> Sounded like a Ludacris-type beat for tha start but now sounds original. Tha beat iz DEFINITELY nice here and your slow flow works too!! Pretty catchy-ass lyrics once again on this shit as you’re DEFINITELY unstoppable here!! It got REAL TIGHT when you rapped about “Chris Brown” at 1:01 and tha “Carl Lewis flow” part towards tha end REALLY held it down fa an ending!! Yea!! Supamike on tha outro!!! My Rating: 4.6


½time: FLAMIN’ HOT START HERE!!! You started off wit a **PERFECT RATING** and had a bunch of 4.6+ ratings too!!! Nothin’ iz unda 4.4 right now so it’s DEFINITELY on a REAL TIGHT start here!!! And speakin’ of 4.6, all those 4.6+ ratings made tha average CD rating go up a WHOPPIN’ ½ point from tha last CD, makin’ it a 4.6!!!


09. “Comin’ Out Hard”
I’ll DEFINITELY be lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this one, ya dig!!! >>> Ooh, a switch up wit tha beat here as X-Fyle iz on tha beat!! I haven’t heard a new beat of his for a while now and now, you’re bringin’ him back here!! Tha intro to tha beat iz DEFINITELY REAL STRONG here wit tha beat!!! X-Fyle & Mod Productions were like runner-ups for my “Louisiana Producer Of Tha Year” category this year on my 2nd Annual Louisiana Awards; they contributed REAL GOOD!! Tha hook DEFINITELY “came through hard,” ya heard me!! Yea, as long as “Duce’s flow’s on it,” tha track DEFINITELY serves its purpose!!! It’s almost like cocaine, “comin’ out hard;” that’s how I feel about this joint right chea!! CRAZY-ASS shit to tha fullest!!! Tha 2nd verse doin’ tha damn thang here too; you’re REAL SICK wit tha rhymes here!!! Tha producers DEFINITELY luv you ‘cause their beats for you are DEFINITELY SICK!!!!! I like tha start to tha 3rd verse as tha beat sounds quieter so I can hear you more on tha mic!! REALLY like tha “I’m like an ocean ahead of ‘em” part too!! I don’t even feel like tha rating should be 4.8; it should be 4.9!!! Shit yea!!! Even a Supamike outro too!!! Why didn’t he say tha thing afta “liquor?” Either way, glad he has a “loaded” perspective here, showin’ buku luv ta our “loaded” folks!! My Rating: 4.9


10. “Fully Loaded”
Oh, didn’t I just hear this one too? I did… Here’s what I said about it: Sounds like you not “goin’ easy” on this shit right here! That’s what makes anticipation: when you go hard on a track!! Interestin’ rappin’ here on tha 1st verse, doin’ ya thang fa real!! Tha hook iz DEFINITELY tha shit here!! Gotta luv all tha shit here when it comes ta yourself! Tha 2nd verse here has a NICE start wit tha “she blowin’ on me like a napkin” part! You keep this shit catchy wit your own style!! It’s DEFINITELY quality right here that’s DEFINITELY not borin’!! Yea, we got a 3rd verse here!! You must REALLY luv sex based off your lyrics! You said in one of your songs on tha last mixtape dat you been “fuckin’ since your youth;” what’s dat like, especially for a young age? Glad you reppin’ for tha “good weed” here too on tha 3rd verse; you got a WHOLE lotta pluses here!! You prolly gon enjoy this review and betta yet, you gon have an EXTRA one right afta this, ya heard me! My Current Rating: 4.5


11. “Side Bitch”
When I saw tha title, I thought you was gon spit on tha David Guetta joint wit Akon… But, let’s see how this’ll flow wit this mixtape. >>> I think I heard this beat before but I lost touch of tha mainstream music so I don’t exactly know tha original version’s ID. You sound pretty good fa this kinda song right here… I don’t think it fits wit this mixtape’s style though; it should’ve been on tha last one. Tha 1st verse was okay fa what it was; I don’t have much ta say about it… It sounded like an encounterin’ conversation durin’ tha 2nd verse, which fit good fa tha song itself. There’s even a 3rd verse fa this shit too? “Hibernatin’ tha pussy” here, lol. Pretty good 3rd verse. What’s up wit tha bridge wit tha random singin’? I didn’t think that fit fa this but it’s whateva… At least DJ Supamike was on tha outro to tha song!! My Rating: 3.7
EDIT: Forgot ta list dat this was a Mod Productions beat; caught me off guard ‘cause I got my food and forgot about tha production credit (thanx ta Mod tellin’ me), lol!


12. “Don’t Be Scared” Feat. Mod Productions & Beezy Bird
Now THIS IZ Mod Productions on tha beat and he told me he raps on this joint too!! You KNOW I’m DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta you rappin’ on this shit, Duce (as always), as well as my boy Mod!!! >>> Sounds like a catchy hook start here. Yea, who would “be scared” of you? You’re REAL GR8 wit this shit!!! Catchy hook that transitioned gr8 to tha 1st verse! Interestin’ lyrics about tha gurlz this time. Nice job hookin’ up tha 1st verse, ya dig! You sounded good also before tha 2nd verse, which Mod iz takin’ it ova! Your voices blend in so it’s hard ta tell at times… Who did tha “bow” in tha hook? That’s not tha exact sample B-Real uses fa his beats, iz it? ‘Cause that would be Beezy Bird on tha “bow” sample! I’m gonna play it safe and give him credit ‘cause it nearly sounds like it! My Rating: 4.4


13. “Fly Shit”
You ALREADY know!! >>> You got “G-Pipe on tha track;” iz he tha same dude as Piper or related ta him? They got like tha same name… Tha beat iz pretty cool ESPECIALLY @ :36! I’m feelin’ this style and your rappin’ DEFINITELY helps here!! Nice job on tha 1st verse and tha hook DEFINITELY goes ta show you you’re on your “fly shit,” ya dig! I still don’t know what “747” has ta do wit “bein’ fly” though. I’ve seen tha expression so many times but neva undastood it… Nice job wit tha 2nd verse and tha start to tha 3rd verse had a REAL NICE beat part!! Pretty cool song right here as you’re holdin’ it down! My Rating: 4.5


14. “So Official”
Like Real Profit Ent. and their CD, right? I know you were on dat one so I KNOW you gon spit some “official” shit right now, ya dig! >>> Tha beat sounds pretty good once again fa a start here; glad most of these beats are original now!! You sound like you’re feelin’ REAL COOL and at your best here when it comes to your rappin’ condition! Tha 1st verse did its thang and tha hook sounds cool too; glad you’re “on ya shit!” Nothin’ iz stoppin’ you when it comes ta this shit so you DEFINITELY doin’ tha damn thang wit tha 2nd verse!! REAL GLAD you “flushin’ all challenges;” REAL GR8 line right there!! I got REAL GR8 lines like dat when it comes ta writin’ lyrics and I look forward ta finally release ‘em!! Glad you “Ric Flair on ‘em” too, even givin’ a shout out ta Cali’s song! We even have room fa a 3rd verse too! Actually, it’s just a bridge but sounds gr8 and catchy once again!! My Rating: 4.5


15. “Can’t Wait” Feat. Keith Jacobs
I “can’t wait” ta show you tha two reviewz I did for you!! >>> Back to tha real slow style here… You shouted out “G-Pipe,” but called him “G-Piper” so I’m assumin’ G-Pipe = Piper. Tha beat sounds betta-than-typical for a slow song like this. Nice job wit tha 1st verse and there’s unexpected singin’ in tha hook… It sounds good fa what it iz; not bad. Tha 2nd verse iz here and you’re in tha matrix here when it comes ta gettin’ ta have sex. Keepin’ up tha interestin’ lyrics for tha ladies, you’re supplyin’ some lyrics fa them on tha 3rd verse too; good shit! You said, “Keith Jacobs,” towards tha end (referrin’ to tha singer) so I gon put his name in tha ID. Okay endin’ part wit tha singin’… My Rating: 3.8


16. “Neva Goin’ Back” Feat. Dee-1
What kinda ending are we gonna have here? >>> Again G-Pipe iz on tha beat; why iz it slow again? That’s not really good for an ending… There were better lyrical songs on here; this izn’t up my alley. I don’t like tha beat so it doesn’t flow correctly fa me… Tha hook iz true to itself wit how it describes tha title; I don’t need ta say more. Huh, an unexpected feature, lol? Should’ve seen tha feature from tha start! Here’s Dee-1 on tha feature and he DEFINITELY spittin’ betta lyrics here!! This iz an interestin’ collaboration! I heard you gave him a shout out on tha last mixtape and I wasn’t exactly sure you were referrin’ ta him; glad you know him! He REALLY did a TIGHT job here!! If that’s you on tha 3rd verse (my bad for tha confusion), then it’s pretty good wit tha lyrics once again. I don’t like ta hear tha lyrics in this verse ‘cause it’s like hearin’ about “death results” (how people die fast in tha hood). I’ll offer a lyrical rating fa this song ‘cause it’s not for me. Lyrical Rating: 4.7 | My Rating: 3.3


Overall: REAL HOT FIRE RIGHT HERE FROM DAT BOY IL DUCE!!!!! I’m REAL GLAD you DEFINITELY held it down fa this mixtape and fa err-body out there on DatPiff checkin’ it out!! Mod Productions, I see you, bruh! Keep doin’ ya thang and supplyin’ tha hood wit all your hood shit to tha fullest!!! Hope you REALLY enjoy these two reviewz too!!
