Review #584: DJ 5150 & Dre "NO To The BR 3 (Hosted by Calliope Var & Mr. Marcelo)"

Reviewed on 7.31.2010 (Review #584)




Keepin’ tha reviewz on a roll, gotta keep showin’ my boyz DJ 5150 & Dre luv wit these “NO To The BR” reviewz, ya dig! Here goes my review for DJ 5150 & Dre “NO To The BR 3 (Hosted by Calliope Var & Mr. Marcelo)!! Start Time: 2:38 PM | End Time: 3:59 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. DJ 5150 “Call DJ 5150 – 707.418.8437”
LOL, startin’ tha same way we did tha last time! >>> Representin’! My Rating: N/A


02. Calliope Var Feat. Mr. Marcelo & Lil’ Cali “I’m On It (Remix)”
New joint it looks like; let’s see… >>> VERY HOT start!!! Yea, this iz definitely familiar but this iz a remix so you know it’s updated! Calliope’s doin’ tha damn thang here on tha 1st verse still as well as tha REALLY GR8 hook!! Once again, REALLY GR8 collab wit Marcelo and now, wit Cali (wit an “l” less, lol)! Likin’ dat “rollin’ like dice;” dumb shit! My Rating: 4.8


03. Delwin The Krazyman “Mobbin’ (Remix)”
Released on DatPiff April 12, 2010. I think I might’ve got Delwin’s CD ‘round tha same time… Still sounds pretty good right chea… My Current Rating: 4.3


04. Delwin The Krazyman Feat. B-Raw & Level “Thuggin’ & Druggin’”
Young Hits beat; didn’t look at tha ID yet… Oh, now, I hear tha hook and it’s anotha Delwin joint, lol… This one’s much betta than tha “Mobbin’” remix; feelin’ tha features too!! Level’s gotta be tha 1st one I heard say, “I love drugs,” without any secret or nothin’, lol! My Current Rating: 4.6


05. Lil’ Dee “To Tha Max”
Neva heard Lil’ Dee but it’s remindin’ me of Lil’ Six from tha last mixtape… Let’s see what’s good wit dis! >>> LOL, he chose a Vybe beat. Tha start sounds REAL HOT like tha Lil’ Six song!! They’re like EQUAL wit how GR8 they sound for a 1st listen!! Nice, nice job on tha 1st verse, ya dig!! Tha 2nd verse’s not bad; a lil’ cheesy wit tha “O Let’s Do It” quote, lol… No feature listed for tha 3rd verse? Why iz everything mysterious wit tha newbies? Good shit, though… My Rating: 4.7


06. Mr. Marcelo Speaks
Let’s see what my boy has ta say… >>> That’s right! All about tha WHOLE Louisiana!! My Rating: N/A


07. Mr. Marcelo “My Life Is A Movie”
Just like tha Baby L’s mixtape from last year dat I just reviewed, lol. Let’s see dis shit… >>> An okay start. Tha hook sounds good here… Marcelo “can get shit poppin’!” “Chillin’ wit my niggaz out smokin’…;” I wonder how dat happens? Still tryin’ ta know… Good verse and he doin’ his thang here! Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ it goin’! Glad you gave a shout out ta “Var” too! Tha 3rd verse has a GR8 flow! I like tha “like I move dat yay” shit! My Rating: 4.0


08. C-Loc Feat. Dat Boy A & Big Head “Top To Bottom”
Didn’t realize I knew this fa a second; boo… I was startin’ ta get anticipated for a second… I like tha Mary J. Blige sample but would’ve expected a lil’ betta from Q-Red on tha beat. But, he still adds his GR8 sound organs! Tha 1st verse I believe iz Dat Boy A (‘cause I don’t think DJ Wookee raps) ‘cause this was from tha “Camp Life 2010” CD wit them on it; too bad for not listin’ tha feature… My Current Rating: 3.9


09. Bad Azz Ent. “Letter To My Dog”
Would’ve heard this here 1st so I’ll paste tha review: Betta than average; good beat… Good ½ verses here (I guess ta Boosie); y’all got shit on lock. However, I can’t picture carin’ about a non-family member this much outside of seein’ them; I can’t even imagine ‘cause people don’t treat me right in public/out of public. Tha two ½ verses in tha 2nd verse sound gr8; Big Wayne’s EASILY stands out fa me! He has dat voice and energy dat just stands out! A 3rd verse here… Must be only a ½ (I think) ‘cause there’s a short amount of time left on dis… My Current Rating: 4.3


10. Calliope Var Speaks
Now, let’s hear what Calliope has ta say… >>> Good shout out fa “Gardere!” My Rating: N/A


11. B.G. Feat. Calliope Var & Mannie Fresh “My Hood (Remix)”
Was ‘bout ta say, “this song?” I thought it was gonna be a “Gardere” artist/song based off tha previous skit… Kinda boring now but now, let’s see wit Calliope on tha remix! >>> Still same beat but no Mannie Fresh on tha feature; gon put him in! Tha 1st verse sounds gr8 from Calliope, contributin’ good! Still good wit B.G. on tha 2nd verse… My Rating: 4.2


12. Shawt Feat. Scarface “Hot Love”
>>> Scary start; didn’t see tha ID yet… *Checks* New song but I’ll try to tolerate this… Tha 1st verse from Shawt’s pretty good… Tha hook’s now remindin’ me dat this’ll be a future mainstream song? Scarface’s on tha 2nd verse and although it’s gr8, I think I should like this more ‘cause of tha good, gutta beat sounds here! Tha interludes before tha verses are soundin’ kinda gay for me… Shawt’s spittin’ an aight verse ta end this… My Rating: 3.6


13. Ray Vicks Feat. Lil’ Boosie “Go Hard”
More “featuring” than “and” on tha ID so dat’s an error… I surprisingly heard this thanx ta downloadin’ off DatPiff later than this mixtape’s release so check out what went down: Sounds okay for a start but it’s definitely hot for a song/hook! “We got” HOT shit here on tha 1st verse from Vicks; lots of shit! Tha 2nd verse from Boosie’s good; good job wit tha collab! He did tha damn thang on tha end of tha verse too! My Current Rating: 4.4


½time: Sounded like tha last mixtape went “harder” than this one for a start but this still sounds real hot! A GR8 4.3 average CD rating so far so we’ll see what happens…


14. B-Raw “I Got Swagger”
New song? Lemme hear… >>> School bell? Even tha 1st word was “school,” lol? Uh oh, mainstream beat here. I don’t even rememba what it iz but I won’t think of dat… Sounds pretty good on tha 1st verse; always enjoy B-Raw here… I hope this ain’t dat Mims beat from ’08 (“Move (If You Wanna)”); dat’s a lil’ gay but this ain’t close ta gay! See, when it’s B-Raw on a beat like dis, it sounds hot than gay, gay, gay… Tha hook’s good on tha 1st ½ but tha 2nd ½ sounds like a white dude mixed wit OJ; that’s a lil’ gay for me. Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good too… My Rating: 3.7


15. Max Minelli “Channel Guide”
This iz on a new tip for me too! >>> Hope this ain’t a title change; I think it’s new. Tha hook’s hot here; addictive! Cool production here… Tha 1st verse sounds good; sounds like a jam here. Interestin’ 2nd verse here; “overdosin’ on success!” My Rating: 4.3


16. Calliope Var Speaks
Let’s hear! >>> Ehh… I’ll take tha “dopeman” ova tha “Gucci Mane.” My Rating: N/A


17. Lil’ Cali Feat. Level & Tank Jones “Money Rite”
LOL! Glad you threw this on here too! I don’t mind seein’ this on 100’s otha CDs/mixtapes, lol! My Current Rating: 4.8


18. Mr. Marcelo “I Don’t Know You”
Let’s hear dis one… >>> An oldie? Or, iz it a bound-ta-be “classic?” Not that good of a start fa me wit this beat… Tha rhymes sound good on tha 1st verse… LOL, I like tha “run like a potato” part, lol! Tha hook maybe a lil’ catchy but this iz a touch boring too ‘cause of tha beat… At least it’s a “grindin’” anthem! Good “play wit them keys; me and Alicia” part! I heard a long time ago dat someone said, “Alicia; we like tha same keys” or some line like dat and it was REAL GR8 ta hear!! Tha 3rd verse has more catchy rhymes right here! My Rating: 3.8


19. Kevin Gates “We Don’t Give A Fuck”
Mouse on tha beat here; new song? >>> Doesn’t sound new on tha hook… Then again, don’t think I know this so this iz a plus wit Mouse on tha beat once again! Tha Youngbloodz/Lil’ Jon “Damn” joint neva gets old ta sample and shit like dat! Good 1st verse; sounds like everyone else though… LOL, more added to tha hook here? Lemme ROFL! Gotta ROFL when I hear tha Jamaican vocals! Now, tha 2nd verse DEFINITELY sounds much betta here!! Consistent shit dat’s not typical at all!! For some reason, I guess ‘cause of tha typical 1st verse, this joint sounded a lil’ short… My Rating: 4.4


20. Louisiana Ca$h Feat. Mouse “My Bounce”
Kinda small ta see if you put tha “$” on tha Ca$h; it almost looks like it but then again, I dunno… This sounds like a good follow-up single for him but I’m not crazy wit addin’ it right away; I’d rather just wait ‘til it gets released. LOL, a very cold, cut-off ending? My Current Rating: 4.0


21. Down Bad Feat. Lil’ Phat “Goin’ Ham”
LOL… Neva got ta review it but I got ta put it on my radio show; catchy shit wit a real good beat… I dunno when I’ll get ta play this as I have tha “Locs On” song in rotation currently… I be gettin’ too many songs so it’s hard ta add certain songs here and there… Afta dat crazy-ass 1st verse from Cage (and tha hook too), Terror’s on tha 2nd verse and tha rhymes are catchy… For some reason, Lil’ Phat sounds like a baby wit his voice here. No offense at all to you, Phat; Sade “Babyfather”’s nearby, lol! My Current Rating: 4.5


22. Ray Vicks “Bands”
Must’ve heard this too since it’s Ray Vicks… SMH @ shortenin’ this ta remove tha features. They just called this “Bands” so you’re one word too much on here, lol. A decrease in tha rating a lil’ ‘cause of no Yungsta & Squirm G. My Current Rating: 3.8


23. Kevin Gates “Seems”
>>> Uh, oh, lol, anotha Kevin Gates song… *Checks ID* ROFL, what a short title! This iz a 1st time hearin’! This iz interestin’ wit tha beat and tha storyline goin’ on here in tha 1st verse! A lot’s even goin’ on in tha hook too; interestin’… Even more hot shit comin’ outta tha 2nd verse; buku shit here!! And, tha 3rd verse… Because of all tha conversatin’, I’ll rate this pretty high. I feel like I almost like all tha songs tha same but this gets a plus from tha conversations! My Rating: 4.6


24. Big Poppa Feat. Hatchboy & Shell “Free My Niggas”
Good, a new joint wit a nice lineup!! >>> LOL, everyone sayin’, “Free Boosie;” surprisin’ (‘cause I still don’t know how people care on tha outside)! This must be a “seasonal” song ‘cause if these dudes get outta jail, then, what iz this song, lol? Tha 1st verse sounds good wit Poppa on it; thought I heard a shout out ta “Bleek?” ROFL, why iz Shell on tha ID 1st? No dickridin’ rule! Pretty good verse here; nice and energetic on tha mic for tha streetz! Shell’s on tha 3rd verse and he sounded like a lil’ kid in tha beginnin’? Sounds like a good verse but not tha same anticipation I had back in tha day. Can’t be Facebook’d; be tha same like on MySpace! I like tha “nani goat” part, lol! Tha rest of tha verse sounded good but it would just be betta if I can just have Shell write back ta me online… My Rating: 4.2


25. B-Raw Feat. Nu$$ie & Delwin The Krazyman “Who Next”
Why tha “R.I.P.” next to tha ID? It looks gay when I see it too many times… Tha “Free Boosie” iz acceptable though… Anyway, I was 20 when I heard this so this iz pretty ancient. But, I can get it on my radio show now since this iz a good reminder… This again iz shortened (missin’ Da Jackel) so a lil’ decrease in tha original 4.9 rating. Still, it’s VERY catchy as how it was back in tha day! My Current Rating: 4.7


26. Lil’ Boosie Feat. Ray Vicks “That Fire”
I still can’t picture this bein’ an “and” instead of a “featuring;” are they comin’ wit a CD together? >>> Low quality, lol? Sounds like somethin’ gay for me in tha beginning… Although catchy on tha hook, it’s just an okay song wit a pretty good beat for me. An okay verse from Boosie on tha 1st verse but how many times do I have ta hear him/about him on one mixtape compilation? I can’t take these typical lyrics on tha 2nd verse sometimes; sorry, Ray… My Rating: 3.5


27. B Streezy Feat. Lil’ Boosie “She Bad”
>>> Pretty “bad” for me; worse than tha last song! I can’t deal wit gay R&B singer voices… Iz this “NO To The BR” or “Britney To The Christina?” Not likin’ tha Pop/R&B sound; Boosie doesn’t even fit here. Just sounds like more of dat obsession dat I mentioned wit tha last song! I hope this neva appears on anotha review of mine… Why iz this 3:36? This iz ‘pose to be a Rap compilation so my rating’ll easily be lower! I rather’ve “WTF?”’d at Nu$$ie’s “Vapors” again (if it would’ve reappeared) than listened to this! My Rating: 1.2


Overall: Tha average CD rating’s 4.3… Wait, no! It’s only 4.1 ‘cause tha last two jointz, smh… It still was a gr8 mixtape though! I wasn’t too thrilled wit all tha Boosie shit. It’s like, I’m here to hear a compilation CD fulla artists, not tha same artist a bunch of times! I wonder what #4 has in store…
