Review #464: Don Dre "The Rise Of A Don (Bootleg)"

Reviewed on 5.23.2010 (Review #464)


Gotta keep this shit goin’, ya feel me!! Up next, I finna review my boy Doc Dre, who’s known as just “Dre” on some of tha CDs in tha past (C-Loc’s “Scrape The Plate” and Savage & Young Ready’s “Self-Made Bosses”). Now, I finna hear a whole CD of his just like I just did wit Lil’ Mista an hour ago!! This iz tha 2010 Promo Disc; DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta dis!! Dre’s in charge of tha whole Easy Hustle Entertainment so hopefully, tha Level situation’ll be fixed soon! Oh yea, once again, no tracklisting so it’s anotha blind review… Start Time: 1:07 PM | End Time: 1:57 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.
Tha start here iz only 2:05 so let’s see what kinda intro we got here… >>> Tha “unknown beat tag” in tha beginning here (dat I heard on tha Lil’ Mista CD somewhere). Cool beat here and it sounds like you got shit on lock here! For some reason, you remind me of C-Loc and Dat Boy A. I neva saw you but I have a feelin’ you look like dem… Sounds like some HOT Rap shit in tha beat right chea wit your gr8 rappin’! Glad err-body in BR keeps it street to tha fullest wit this REAL HOT shit!!! “This some street shit;” agreed! My Rating: 4.2


02.
Okay, let’s keep it goin’ here! Thumbs up ta ERR-BODY producin’! >>> Tha production’s cool here (sounds a lil’ like DJ B-Real)! Ooh, tha hook’s DEFINITELY on sum HOT-ASS drug shit!!! :tu Damn, it’s such a FUCKIN’ BLE$$IN’ ta know you wanna fuck wit me on some real-ass shit!! Usually, I’m tha one dat says ta people, “I wanna be cool wit you,” but this time, you said dat ta me and it feels gr8, ya dig!! Tha 1st verse has a lotta good-ass street shit to tha fullest!! You DEFINITELY puttin’ it in in tha hood to tha fullest!! Tha 2nd verse sounds good wit tha rhymes and shit right chea! You even give me a lil’ Savage feel wit tha rappin’ on this verse; glad there’s a LOTTA GR8 people in Baton Rouge; producers, rappers, etc.!! REALLY “servin’” to tha fullest!!! My Rating: 4.6


03.
DEFINITELY lookin’ forward once again!!! >>> Ooh, a lil’ ova 4.5 minutes on tha length and it’s a new person on tha beat (“? ?” Productions)! Oh wait, it’s dat producer I can’t figure out who it iz…; shit yea!! DEFINITELY nice on tha beat here and you sound GR8 on tha hook here; you “LUV” err-thang!!! Tha beat’s TOO COLD durin’ tha 1st verse right chea; you “sound” GR8 on this Rap shit!! You’re very “fuckable,” lol, as you “fuck every bitch,” lol! LOL, look at Level on tha 2nd verse here; randomly appearin’! All of a sudden, it smelt like quarters in tha room I’m in right now, lol. Level’s ALWAYS GR8 when he raps!! I fuckin’ luv tha shit outta him when it comes ta rappin’ but I just wish he was a betta person… and would take me serious! Ooh, anotha feature on tha 3rd verse? It sounds like Mista… I thought it was Ready at first but then I heard tha voice more and I believe it’s Mista!! He “luvs” buku shit too, just like you and Level! REAL GR8 collaboration!! Prolly tha best surprise when it comes ta blind reviews: tha features! My Rating: 4.7


04.
This one’s a lil’ shorter; let’s see what’s up… >>> Shit, I know of tha producer in tha beginning (wit his tag) but I don’t know his name… Anyway, cool street beat here and tha hook sounds REAL GR8 wit tha “dope game” shit!! :tu Ooh, tha 1st verse has your “1st rock” memories here as well as your nightmares of “almost gettin’ popped at 14;” shit… Speakin’ of “gettin’ popped,” I had a 9mm ta me January 23, 2008…; who would’ve guessed? And my Louisiana connection was just poppin’ off… But yea, DEFINITELY HOT street shit right chea! My Rating: 4.5


05.
Now, let’s see what we got here! >>> Ooh, very upbeat here on tha beat; you gon be doin’ tha damn thang here!! Nice “get ‘em/hit ‘em” anthem here! Sounds like you ready fa anything in your way, ya dig!! You spittin’ dat true shit here on tha 1st verse; you got shit on lock once again!! Ooh, I feel a feature comin’ up on tha 2nd verse (as I heard on tha 2nd hook)… Not too good wit tha “skippin’ class” but tha “blowin’ killa” gets a plus though! And yea, it’s dat big dawg Mista right chea!! :tu Feelin’ tha rhymes and I FUCKIN’ LUV how he comes through on ANY track!!! My Rating: 4.6


06.
Again, I’m almost to tha ½ point as I’m on tha 6th song; let’s see what’s good!! >>> Ooh, you’re introducin’ Dat Boy A so he must be on here? Shit, I hear him and he sounds REALLLLLLLLLLL GR8 wit tha singin’ on tha hook!!! :tu He has a Kevin Gates vibe on this shit, ESPECIALLY when he says, “knooooow!!” You’re on tha 1st verse here and you got some good shit goin’ on here! You feelin’ good 100+% of tha time! Dat’s why you keep it 51/50! Oh yea, tha production’s on point here, ya dig! Almost reminded me of Yo Gotti’s “5 Star Bitch” song for a second. Dat Boy A iz… rapless on this song, lol. It’s all good though ‘cause you got tha 2nd verse on lock right chea wit tha gangsta shit and you bein’ an undaground hustla!!! Shout out fa havin’ tha “fish scales” to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.8


½time: Damn, Dat Boy A REALLY put me in an upliftin’ mood 2.0 right now!! Glad you REALLY holdin’ shit down wit this undaground BR Rap shit!!! Keep up tha GR8 “work” (rappin’, workin’ and hustlin’ wit dat “work” too, lol) as you have a 4.6 average CD rating right now, big dawg!!!


07.
How lucky are you for Track 7? I bought my mom, aunt and rappin’ grandma scratch-off lottery tickets fa Mothers Day. I spent $21 and they won $21 combined; lol @ breakin’ even! Anyway, let’s see what’s good wit dis track right chea!! >>> Ooh, tha LUVABLE sounds of tha Baton Rouge production!! Glad I whipped tha scratch-offs out on tha preview to this song!! Sounds like a STRONG “gangsta/thug” hook right chea as you goin’ “’til tha wheels fall off!” Tha 1st verse sounds good on this beat; glad y’all fuck wit tha BEST production in tha world!!!!! Good shit right chea wit tha rhymes! I like tha “joker” part right afta tha “cards dealt!” How weird dat tha gamblin’ shit came outta nowhere when I was randomly talkin’ on tha preview!! You provin’ ta err-body you REALLY comin’ from these streetz in tha 2nd verse right chea and I’m glad you keepin’ it comin’!! Keep provin’ to these people dat you tha shit and those pussy-ass fools dat don’t keep it real are HORRIBLE!!! My Rating: 4.5


08.
I have a feelin’ a beat tag’ll pop outta nowhere, lol; just anotha random prediction! >>> Ooh, DEFINITELY Southern for tha start here!! You introduced someone in tha beginning? I don’t know who it iz but this iz DEFINITELY an anthem here in different wayz mixed! You got tha “dumb” shit in tha hook, tha gangsta-ass rhymes in tha 1st verse and dat BEAT dat’s just GR8!!! Ooh, some pussy-ass imitatin’ at 1:03! Glad you showin’ me what those pussy-asses sound like when they try ta fuck wit you tha wrong way! Ooh, tha dude (dat I couldn’t figure out who it was dat you said on tha intro) on tha 2nd verse sounds REAL cool wit tha way he comin’ through!!! Neva heard a voice like dis come out and it’s REALLY what’s up!!! Tha street shit he spittin’ here’s REAL NICE!! DEFINITELY keepin’ it G to tha fullest on this REALLY GR8 beat!!! Ooh, dat dude on tha 3rd verse wit tha CREEPY-ASS (in a good way) voice STILL goin’!!! REAL GLAD fa this!!! This TOO GR8 wit tha way he comin’ through!!! Too good ta where you hopped onto tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse!! All ‘bout dem “Dixie Boyz” I see… My Rating: 4.8
EDIT: I had ta keep hearin’ what you said in tha beginning and I think I caught “King David?” I’ma put dat in tha feature until further notice…


09.
Damn, I’m feelin’ REALLY GOOD wit this HOT-ASS MUSIC!!!!! >>> I thought I heard Dat Boy A in tha beginning (‘cause I thought I heard his gurl Airee in tha beginning too but it’s an “ooooh” sample) but I’m completely wrong; it’s you… Oh wait, WTF’s wit my brain right now? I’m wrong again… it IZ “D-A-T-B-O-Y!!!” :tu He doin’ his thang in tha beginning here wit this kick-ass beat here!!! OMG, SOMEONE “call tha fire truck!!!” DAT BOY A’S TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKIN’ GR88888888888888888!!! “Brang your marshmallow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I hear tha hook and it’s interestin’ wit you rappin’ ‘bout tha “dicktakers!” You’re on tha 2nd verse here and tha verse’s “hot” still!! I feel like dat Marvin Gaye “I’m hot” sample’s just gettin’ addicted! It would’ve prolly been annoyin’ if it was anyone else’s song but y’all got tha production on lock!!! My Rating: 4.7


10.
Numba 10; what’s this? >>> Ooh, REAL GR8 beat intro here!! Sounds like a top dawg producer!!! A BIG “hood” anthem right chea; you REALLY holdin’ tha hook down REAL, REAL, REAL TIGHT!!!!! “Pocket fulla rocks! Fuckin’ wit my niggaz! Smokin’ on dat killa;” 3x a charm wit three quotes in a row!!! So much “same ol’” shit goin’ on in tha 1st verse since err-body livin’ tha “same ol’” lives… I’m glad I’m original, original, original when it comes ta err-thang!! REAL NICE job deliverin’ tha 1st verse!! I hope there’s features on this song; I have a feelin’!! SHIT YEA, I hear Mista (“M-I-S-T-A”) comin’ through fa tha 2nd verse; y’all REALLY hittin’ tha jackpot here!!! Str8 gangsta shit to tha fullest and he’s like Level, he “dranks ‘til he passes out,” lol. Also hustlin’ wit “dat white gurl” too; y’all REALLY did tha damn thang here!!! Nice endin’ wit tha “where you at? I’m in tha hood!” chantin’ and tha “nigga” echo at tha end! My Rating: 4.9


11.

Easy Hustle representin’ to tha FULLEST!!!!! >>> Ooh, some “parkin’ lot” shit here wit some pretty gangsta-ass shit goin’ on here wit like a slowed-down sample and a REAL GR8 production right chea!!! Keep this REAL HOT shit goin’ on here!! Tha hook’s just goin’ and goin’ and goin’ as I’m 45 seconds in right now!!! Gotta be prepared when it comes ta goin’ inta tha streetz wit tha 1st verse here; “strapped” “in tha parkin’ lot,” ya heard me! You’re on tha 2nd verse here too and “Easy Hustle” to tha fullest!! Luvin’ your attitude when it comes ta rappin’ here; you just TOO real wit it!!! Oh shit, someone came through on tha 3rd verse!!! His shit “sound like a BOMB when he lets it go!!!” REAL HOT right chea!!! REAL GR8 from dat boy Mista; FUCKIN’ LUV HIM!!!!! My Rating: 4.8


12.
A lil’ longer here wit 4:50ish on tha length… Let’s see what’s poppin’ wit dis joint!! >>> Ooh, tha production’s STILL on point!!! Y’all DEFINITELY don’t give up!!! Almost sounds like a Savage-type street song right chea!! You DEFINITELY “do yo thang” and I’m likin’ this “I’m a animal” shit here! Uh oh, iz dat Level in tha background, gettin’ ready fa tha 1st verse? Nope, it’s Lil’ Mista and he REALLY feelin’ himself right now!! He CRAZY when it comes ta rappin’ ‘bout anything, ESPECIALLY wit tha “weed” and all dat good shit!!! He’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKIN’ GR8!!!!! :tu Now, I hear you on tha 2nd verse and you got this street-ass shit on lock right chea!!! Nice job wit tha attitude too; dumb shit!!! Mista’s here again and he’s DEFINITELY provin’ ta be “tha rawest pit in tha yard!!!” You KNOW I agree wit his rhymes!! You’re just as good too as you’re on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse, “lettin’ your nuts hang;” you too fuckin’ tight wit dis shit!!! :tu My Rating: 4.8

Tha last one… Clockin’ it at 4.5ish minutes so let’s see what’s up!! >>> Ooh, tha producer I still can’t figure out iz on tha beat!! This shit’s STILL on ‘n’ poppin’!!! You REALLY got this “raw” shit (rappin’ ta tha work) on lock!!! TOO FUCKIN’ TIGHT!!! LUVIN’ tha “sellin’” shit and all tha “back ta ___ ___” shit; you a FOOL when it comes ta repeatin’ a REAL GR8 phrase!! You got shit on lock on tha 1st verse as well as tha 2nd verse, enjoyin’ your “lunch” and all your meals!! Nice job wit your consistent-ass, lol! Wit people like you in tha streetz, there’s ALWAYS dat “good shit” in Baton Rouge as well as this KICK-ASS production!!! Nice job wit tha 3rd verse too, just REALLY holdin’ these streetz down!!! FUCKIN’ LUV dat producer whoeva he iz!!! My Rating: 4.7


Overall: Shit, you REALLY did tha damn thang here, big dawg!!! Only 8/10 points away from Lil’ Mista’s total score (since y’all both had 13 tracks)!!! GR8 competition right chea and you DEFINITELY a fool when it comes ta this Rap shit!!! You got REAL GR8 production and tha features just TOOOOOOOOOOOO GR8!!!!! Keep up tha GR8 work and I hope I keep connectin’ wit you on some real-ass shit!!! BTW, tha average CD ratings are tha same: But, when it’s adjusted, it’s: Lil’ Mista: 4.7231 ; You: 4.6615. Either way, I’m REAL GLAD y’all tied when it’s rounded up/down ‘cause dat’s REALLY watz up!!!
