Review #409: DJ Scrap "Duffy (Hosted by Lil' Cali)"

Reviewed on 4.22.2010 (Review #409)




An energetic vs. tired FrankieThaLuckyDog here, in tha buildin’ wit a compilation review! At first, I thought it was a full Lil’ Cali mixtape, but after seein’ some of tha titles, I figured out it’s a compilation! Wit late night excitement, here goes my review for DJ Scrap “Duffy (Hosted by Lil’ Cali)”! Start Time: 11:59 PM | End Time: 1:33 AM


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. Lil’ Cali “Intro”
Let’s see what he’ll bring for tha intro here on this mixtape… >>> Sounds like it gon be a HOT mixtape!! My Rating: N/A


02. Juvenile Feat. Gucci Mane “Gotta Get It (Remix)”
LOL, this made it… Too bad I didn’t see this much in tha mainstream… This iz tha type of beat style I usually hear from Juvie. I always luved his voice on this Rap shit, lol. Tha hook iz pretty cool fa what it iz wit tha “gotta get it” voice. He sounds pretty good wit his rappin’ on tha 1st verse; good flow here once again. And now dat I’m hearin’ Gucci on tha 2nd verse, it’s soundin’ like it flows aight although I rather hear Juvie to tha fullest!! And it’s weird dat I say dat ‘cause I played tha remix instead of tha original. My Current Rating: 4.2


03. Lil’ Cali “Gotta Get Flow”
Not likin’ tha non-sourced artists; I have to just guess tha songs… >>> LOL, I had an idea it was Cali. Catchy rhymes here; good Cali. Nice job wit tha 1st verse and how you’re comin’ through on it. I like tha mixin’ @ 1:02; cool. What’s up wit tha “Forever” ending? My Rating: 4.1


04. Drake Feat. Kanye West, Lil’ Wayne & Eminem “Forever (Remix)”
I reviewed a “Forever (Remix)” not too long ago but don’t even remember who it was… Might’ve been IL Duce? What’ll this version be? >>> Boo @ this bein’ tha longest song on here and I’m hearin’ Drake in tha beginning; where’s tha Louisiana flava? This iz gay; doesn’t belong here. No review and I’m not givin’ it a serious rating. Actually, when tha beat switched to “Uh Oh” and Eminem hopped on, it sounded MUCH, MUCH betta!!! That’s tha only part I took serious… My Rating: 3.4


05. Lil’ Cali “Uh Oh Flow”
Don’t even remember if I reviewed this flow but here’s an updated review… >>> Cool that Cali’s on this beat. Tha beginning of tha 1st verse sounds pretty familiar… Consistent rhymes here! My Rating: 4.0


06. Mouse On Tha Track Feat. Lil’ Trill & Lil’ Boosie “Rubbin’ On My Head (Remix)”
This still has tha gr8 hook and beat! Tha 1st verse sounds cool fa what it iz. I think tha original sounded betta though especially wit tha flow and tha catchy content. I dunno about tha start to tha 2nd verse wit Lil’ Trill on it… At least he luvs “tha mirror” here, lol. Okay job for tha 2nd verse but it’s cool fa othaz ta contribute. Now Boosie had a better start ta his verse than Lil’ Trill; gotta luv his flow at all times! He goin’ nuts wit all these rhymes, lol! They like NEVA ended and were too much, lol!! <- To add: Sounds like a NICE set of mixin’ wit tha beats in tha beginning! Too bad this iz anotha mixtape dat excluded Lil’ Chrissa’s verse. My Current Rating: 4.8


07. Kevin Gates “Head 2 My Toes”
ROFL @ all this déjà vu goin’ on here wit this mixtape vs. 3 Way Street Radio’s “Jigg City Rockstars 3”… I think Guss did this beat? It’s a cool-ass beat and sounds REAL GR8 wit Gates on it!! Tha hook may be simple but it sounds GR8 wit tha flow on tha verses!! And continunin’ on wit what I just said, his flow iz just REAL GR8 and catchy wit this beat to tha fullest!! <- To add: Weird title ID of “Head To Toes Clean;” it’s “Head 2 My Toes.” I like all tha effects in tha vocals and shit, especially durin’ tha 2nd hook! My Current Rating: 4.6


08. Young Jeezy Feat. Lil’ Wayne “Scared Money”
Why?? >>> Sounds betta than typical mainstream music; cool beat… No comment (due to lack of interest) for tha 1st verse but I like tha hook/beat style! Fuck, Wayne’s on tha 2nd verse? Why? No comment on his verse but it didn’t fit me. My Rating: 3.7


09. B.G. Feat. Soulja Slim, Lil’ Boosie & C-Murder “Nigga Owe Me Some Money”
“Nigga” and “Some” are missin’ in tha title… Sounds like a good Soulja Slim sample here ta fill tha hook on this good beat! You’re here on tha 1st verse, Gizzle! Nice job deliverin’ some catchy hood shit here. C-Murder’s on tha 2nd verse here! He sounds pretty good, ALWAYS reppin’ STRONG on any track/feature!! Glad he came through and now, let’s see what Boosie’s got ta offer on tha 3rd verse! He sounds GR8 wit tha flow once again and tha style he comin’ wit iz GR8 on tha mic! DEFINITELY some good shit right chea!! My Current Rating: 4.4


10. Max Minelli Feat. Derty “Get Up Off Me”
What’s this song wit my gurl Alexia’s birthday on tha length? >>> Incorrect title here (“Get Out The Way”?); this “Get Up Off Me” from Max Minelli & Derty! Gotta feel tha Shonta feel here; he got some gutta/dark beats!! Tha hook sounds pretty good; you comin’ through, Max, representin’ your tough side! Max sounds catchy on tha 1st verse; REAL GR8 flow here as he’s goin’ crazy! As much as tha 1st verse sounded cool wit tha way he delivered it, tha 2nd verse sounds pretty cool too; nice job wit tha catchy rhymes. ROFL, here comes Derty on tha 3rd verse!! He sounded REAL GR8 fa contributin’, includin’ dat he sung Mookie Blakk’s “Rocky Balboa.” Nice job wit this collaboration right chea, ya dig! Kick-ass style here!! My Current Rating: 4.4


11. Delwin The Krazyman Feat. Mouse & T Mck “Swiggin’ (Remix)”
Nice job from T Mck on tha intro wit how you really be “swiggin’!” Tha beginning sounds gr8; I don’t know about hearin’ all tha “Nu$$ie” shit; doesn’t fit in tha song! Tha 1st verse from Delwin iz (of course) hot; nice job wit his rappin’! You KNOW I luv his flow and how he comes through on tha tracks!! Tha hook DEFINITELY hot; I really like tha title and tha “I’m—I’m feelin’ good” shit although that’s from Short Bus Boyz “Loosen Up.” Interestin’ ta have Mouse on this shit; buku “swiggin’” goin’ on here in tha 2nd verse! Not bad from Mouse although he luvs this song! T Mck had a gr8 outro too on this! My Current Rating: 4.5


12. Down Bad Feat. Louisiana Ca$h & Derty “Locs On”
I heard a completely different “Loc’s On” song from rappers Dog & Tech; that one iz betta so far than this. But, this iz pretty catchy at tha same time. Tha hook pretty catchy fa everyone so it’ll be a worldwide plus, lol. Louisiana Ca$h had an above average 1st verse here. What will we have next? Jack Da Rippa here on tha 2nd verse; LMAO @ his 2010 “So Whopped” rendition! Definitely felt dat line and he did a pretty good job on his verse; you KNOW he hella catchy!! Derty’s left so let’s see what he’ll have… ROFL, it’s Terror!! Nice job from him deliverin’ his raps! JR comes through on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse; nice and lol @ tha “Wipe Me Down” part (again, still hearin’ dat quote). This iz different… there were three parts to tha verse ‘cause Derty snuck in on tha 3rd 1/3 of tha 3rd verse. Again, where’s tha energy? I thought he’d come through like a beast or somethin’, lol. An okay job from him… My Current Rating: 4.3


13. Lil’ Phat Feat. Pimp C & Webbie “NBA Players”
What song iz this? >>> More non-Louisiana music but not criticizable in tha beginning wit Pimp C… Oh, I know this (Lil’ Phat on tha hook). Anotha incorrect title here as tha original source (“Death Before Dishonor” CD) called this “NBA Ballers”. Sounded like a catchy start from Pimp C and tha beat! He DEFINITELY did tha damn thang on tha 1st verse and now, tha hook iz here from you, Phat, and it’s DEFINITELY catchy too! I like tha whole “NBA” theme fa this one! Speakin’ of tha “NBA,” Phat, your “shoulder hurt” on tha start to tha 2nd verse; that “shoulder hurt” part applies GR8 to tha theme! You even spittin’ some on topic lyrics here unlike tha “High As A MF” song! DEFINITELY a pretty good 2nd verse from you! We got Webbie remainin’ so let’s see what he got!! He still comin’ through wit a GR8 attitude like tha last song on here!! Nice job wit tha collaboration, Webbie! And Phat, props on gettin’ this collaboration ta make it a GR8 song!! My Current Rating: 4.5


14. Young Dro Feat. J Futuristic “Don’t Know Y’all”
Anotha clueless title… >>> Oh, I know this; this ain’t Louisiana but I remember this video bein’ in a weird effect color or somethin’. I neva got ta play this; was real busy when this came out so I neva got ta get it but it’s a cool song. Once again, cool-ass song but why iz it here? My Current Rating: 4.3


15. Savage Speaks
Shit yea!! Let’s see what we got here!! >>> Likin’ tha unexpected check in! Didn’t realize he popped in so fast…; good shit! My Rating: N/A


½time: Lookin’ good wit tha mixtape so far but I already knew most of tha songs on here already. Plus, what’s wit tha non-Louisiana songs? Average CD rating iz currently a 4.2; thumbs up!


16. One-i Feat. Savage & Lil’ Cali “Sick Wit It (Remix)”
No wonder why Savage was before this; nice job wit this song bein’ on here! Thumbs up to a remix bein’ created; lemme hear it! >>> Funny beat here (oh, that’s tha continuation from tha last one); not sure if it fits… Shit, a clean version too? Not too positive so far… Tha beat didn’t change or nothin’… Once again, weird but cool at tha same time wit tha good rhymes/people. My Rating: 3.8


17. Charlie Boy Feat. Slim Thug, Juvenile & Bun B “I Look Good (Remix)”
I think I might know what this iz…; anotha remix, huh? >>> Yes, it iz; more non-shit. Tha “I” iz missin’ in tha title; boo… Tha beat sounds borin’ and not even on a remix tip… I neva reviewed this song before but I know it… Not feelin’ tha gay singin’. Shit no, it gets worse wit tha hook… A lil’ normal wit Slim Thug on tha 2nd verse, thank God. I can’t even name who’s on tha 3rd verse (EDIT: Oh, it’s Juvenile, lol); I might look it up towards tha end of this review. Damn, how many verses on this gay song? At least it’s a normal person (Bun B) on tha 4th verse. My Rating: 2.1


18. Scratch Break
Interestin’… >>> Interestin’ without tha gay song that was on previously! My Rating: N/A


19. “Dip”
??? >>> Shonta beat (from previously). Sounds familiar but I hope it’s not a fuck up title; who tha hell iz this? Tha hook sounds like “So Whopped.” My Rating: 3.9


20. One-i Speaks
Let’s hear him… >>> Cool shit, One-i. My Rating: N/A


21. One-i “Walk Wit A Dip Flow”
“With” iz “Wit” and tha “A” iz missin’ in tha title… Anyway, let’s hear this flow. >>> He fit good on this; I thought I was expectin’ Cali for a second. Interestin’ rhymes on this song. My Rating: 4.2


22. Savage & Young Ready Feat. Level “Take Dat”
Prolly would’ve wanted “Pussazz” wit Dirty Harry but this iz anotha gr8 one too! Sounds like an energetic Savage style for tha start!! Ready doin’ tha damn thang here on tha hook!! His “turn swag on” part at least ain’t gay and iz official!! I LUV tha 2nd ½ of tha hook; it’s like damage inflicted: “take dat!!” Ready even spittin’ REAL HOT shit fa tha 1st verse!! Yea, his “rhymes they like cocaine!!” Savage got tha 2nd verse on lock, REALLY spittin’ some unblockable shit here!! DEFINITELY fa tha hood right here wit consistent rhymes; everything fa tha streetz!! I luv tha “bruh” part, lol! You KNOW it’s official when you’re in Baton Rouge!!! Talk about hot GR8 tha 3rd verse from Level sounds!! He has a HUGE flow when it comes ta rappin’; DEFINITELY varies in HUGE wayz!! Okay lyrics but tha way he spit dat verse was DEFINITELY tha shit!!! Luved how he came in tha beginning wit it!!! My Current Rating: 4.7


23. Teph Speaks
Let’s hear him… >>> Glad he came through ta represent, ya dig. I knew he was gonna give out his numba fa some reason ‘cause I was thinkin’ ‘bout my boy Young Hits, who had a skit on DeTrane’s “Jigg City Radio Vol. 4” CD and gave out his numba too. Good shit; I’m lockin’ it in! My Rating: N/A


24. Teph “O Let’s Do It Flow”
Tha letter “O” iz missin’ in tha title… Anyway,… >>> Catchy voice here and catchy attention here incomin’ and outgoin’! Would like ta hear this dude on an original beat next time! It should be pretty good. My Rating: 3.9


25. Birdman Feat. Lil’ Wayne & Drake “Money To Blow (Remix)”
Oh no… >>> Not really called for again although tha “O Let’s Do It” beat sounds not bad on here; nothin’ special though. WTF? Tha main person (Birdman) ain’t on this? It’s his song. Lil’ Wayne was 2nd? Weird mix… Neva mind, I hear him towards tha end. My Rating: 2.4


26. “Cock N Aaim”
What’s this song? Who’s on tha rappin’ here? Double “a” wit tha “aim!” >>> Tried to make out his name but couldn’t detect it… This sounds REAL good for a start for a new song/new artist/new beat!! Nice dark theme here fa a start and tha verse iz REAL HOT wit tha rhymes!! DEFINITELY tha BEST new song on here!! My Rating: 4.4


27. Puppy Feat. Lil’ J “Ass Real Fat”
LOL… >>> Don’t think I know this song too but it’s a lil’ familiar. Kinda typical for a start but it has a good feel to it. A lotta rappin’ here it sounds like… A feature here from Lil’ J; I wonder if it’s vice-versa? Either way, *remembers* oh yea, I know this and no, it ain’t vice-versa; it’s Puppy Feat. Lil’ J “Ass Real Fat”. Damn @ me not rememberin’ this for a second. Lemme pull up my previous feedback: 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 Puppy actually said who it was (“Hits” on tha track? EDIT: Young Hits? Shit yea!). 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. He REALLY wants 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! My Current Rating: 3.9


28. Lil’ Cali Speaks
>>> Sounds like tha intro and I’m likin’ how he came through here. My Rating: N/A


29. Lil’ Cali Feat. Mouse “Ric Flair (Remix)”
LOL/ROFL!! Mouse beat here and it sounds pretty anticipatin’; he even “wahhhhh”in’ in tha beginning. He doin’ his thang on tha hook; one of tha BIGGEST/BEAT beasts on tha hooks!!! Cali’s on tha 1st verse here and I like how his voice iz slightly different from otha mixtapes. Plus, his music sounds pretty GOOD once again compared to all those odd female songs in tha past!! Nice job on tha 1st verse, Cali; tore it up!! Here comes tha 2nd verse; who iz it? Catchy voice dat sounds like Dolla (R.I.P.). Let’s see what we got for tha 3rd verse… It a Mouse verse and he always sounds great on tha mic! LOL @ tha “well, FUCK IT!!” part! Nice job on tha verse, Mouse. Cali, you had tha best vesre on this song. <- To add: Anotha clean version, lol? It’s mixed so what’s tha use? How ‘bout a dirty version? Mouse iz like Q-Red (even though this iz older); he’s “TO PARTICLES!!!!!” My Rating: 4.3


30. “Make It Clap”
Last song; I wonder what it iz… I was lookin’ for a tracklisting but I couldn’t find anything. >>> I hear tha name in tha beginning but I can’t figure out who it iz… Tha introduction gets me a lil’ unanticipated… Tha hook a lil’ plain but tha beat cool. Sounds like DJ Big Wayne on tha beat around tha :44 mark! I said dat on a song a while ago but I don’t think I eva heard this song before… Tha rest just jams good but it ain’t nothin’ fa me ta have extreme joy about. My Rating: 3.6


Overall: Not bad of a mixtape… Good average CD rating but I knew a bunch of tha songs. Even if I reviewed this mixtape when I got it, I still knew a bunch of tha songs from a while ago… All kinds of different seasons in this mixtape.
