Review #680: Crooked "Baton Rouge Bad Boi (Da Mixtape) Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 11.28.2010 (Review #680)


Didn’t think I was gonna review today because of an extra-credit paper due Tuesday. However, in a business perspective, my boy Crooked mailed me his Baton Rouge Bad Boi (Da Mixtape) Vol. 1 CD and now, I finna review it!! Have ALL kinds of anticipation fa dis so you KNOW it gon be REAL, REAL, REAL TIGHT!!!!! BTW, Crooked grew up on tha same block as fallen rapper Big Markee so there has to be a shitload of GR8 music here!!! Start Time: 11:44 AM | End Time: 1:08 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. 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.

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): Crooked via mail


01. “Intro: B.R. Bad Boi”
REALLY lookin’ forward ta gettin’ inta dis!!! >>> Just like producer Young Rob (who raps, too, and teamed up wit peeps like Nu$$ie and knew things about Big Markee), you’re mysterious in a REAL GR8 way!!! It’s instant shit wit REAL HOT quality!!! GR8 job wit tha content and doin’ tha damn thang wit all tha consistent rhymes!!! My Rating: 4.5


02. “My Money Up”
I usually think of typicalness on these kinda topics but wit you, I feel hella anticipated!! >>> I like your intros wit spellin’ your name! And yea, “(your) money up;” I can definitely believe you ‘cause you did good business wit me, instantly! Interestin’ hook here; that dude singin’ just came outta nowhere and makes this song sound pretty tight! How many of these jointz are gonna air on my radio show? You gon have 2011 on lock, ya dig?!? I like dat “I’m under surveillance ‘cause my money up” shit in tha hook, lol! Just like tha 1st verse, tha 2nd verse iz tight, too! And yea, “just ask Lil’ J; tha boy don’t play!” My Rating: 4.6


03. “I’mma Big Dog” Feat. Jarvis & Jiggy Black
A pretty long song here wit new features! Definitely gon look forward ta dis!! >>> Tha new way of how I felt when I reviewed BluBlack’s “Code Blu” back on December 20, 2008! This ANOTHA real catchy joint; gotta luv a song about a “big dog,” lol! Feelin’ tha drug-related shit in tha 1st verse, just doin’ ya thang!! Even though I neva got ta meet/communicate wit Big Markee, there’s always somethin’ for err-body and that’s why you came into my life. I get to communicate wit you instead, on some real shit! Tha dude on tha 2nd verse (I assume Jarvis) iz only “20-years-old”? He must luv what I do ‘cause I’m older than him, just doin’ tha damn thang fa tha Boot! He sounds like family so it’s good dat y’all click tight! Nice ending to tha verse wit, “ya heard me!!” Okay, I’m feelin’ dis 3rd verse from (I assume Black Jiggy), just comin’ through in a tight way!! He spittin’ dat gangsta shit to tha fullest!! I like tha “fuck them people, dawg” part; dumb shit!! Keep forgettin’ to mention that tha production on all these tracks iz PURE Baton Rouge!!! Tha type of shit I LUV, LUV, LUV!!!!! My Rating: 4.7


04. “Don’t Fuck Wit Haters”
Looks like a Nu$$ie topic/title. Let’s see how good dis iz… >>> Whoa, tha quality on this song iz a lot louder and more surrounding than tha previous jointz, lol? And you’re on tha beat? I like your lil’ beat tag; almost thought it was like an internet tag or somethin’, lol. VERY, VERY grimy sound here!!! It reminds me of an older song ‘cause of how different it sounds from tha other songs! LOL, DEFINITELY a REAL, REAL, REAL GR8 1st verse!!! I can’t explain how RAW dat verse was!!! Tha hook’s cool; basically holds this joint down to tha fullest! Tha 2nd verse iz keepin’ it goin’ on dis beat, ya dig?!? Nice job wit tha whole entire song to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.8


05. “Da Come Up”
Damn, you can make someone run outta breath wit these songs!!!!! >>> No, this ain’t “(your) last chance to come up;” I’m here to save tha day, ya dig?!? That’s why you more motivated than eva, ya dig?!? This song’s slower on tha beat and sounds Southern to tha fullest!! Tha hook’s catchy as hell even though I can make your “last chance” turn into “(another) chance,” ya dig?!? Really LUVIN’ tha content in tha 1st verse; A++!!!!! Damn, tha 2nd verse keepin’ it goin’, too!!! I like tha “I’m tryna get rich like Big Scoob wit Money & Power” although, did they really get “rich”? I think “rich” iz one of those words where I picture millions of dollars, lol. Either way, tha 2nd verse was just like tha 1st verse wit tha REAL GR8 content!!! Tha 3rd verse sounds like 90’s Rap wit how you started it wit, “it’s 3:00 in tha morning and I can’t sleep.” WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FA?!? :tu Three verses and not even three minutes went by so far!!! There’s still at least two minutes left; keep it goin’!!! Nice job wit tha 4th verse, just keepin’ thangz goin’!!! Tha 5th verse pretty good, too! You got shit on lock all day!!! My Rating: 4.7


06. “Pussy-Azz Nigga” Feat. Bro-Bro
How come just “pussy” iz censored on tha back cover, lol? Anyway, I KNOW if Bro-Bro on dis thang, and wit a title like dat, dis shit gon be REAL, REAL TIGHT!!! >>> LOL @ tha intro; dumb shit!! Sounds like tha Southern shit I used to luv back in tha Early 2000’s when certain cities/states had their own sound!!! Now, everyone pretty much has tha same sound in tha mainstream, smh! Real shit comin’ from you in tha 1st verse here; REALLY doin’ tha damn thang fa tha streetz!!! Tha 2nd verse iz really gutta wit tha content; DEFINITELY feelin’ it!!! Gotta luv dat GUTTA-“azz” hook, lol!!! Just LUV tha attitude!!! Here comes Bro on tha 3rd verse, goin’ off!!! Huh? What happened at 3:47? Sounded like it cut off to just tha beat? Okay, it’s back to tha hook now… My Rating: 4.9


07. “The Jack & Jill Story”
I dunno why but I think I heard about J&J from somethin’. I know it’s one of those old stories but let’s see how you deliver it… >>> Interestin’ twist wit how you make dis sound. Tha beat’s pretty good, too. Not really any energy on this song (like tha previous songs) but it’s good to hear from you. LOL @ tha “Jack fulla dem pillz” part; nice and instant! Hate to say it but after a while, with there bein’ no hook—yea, I know this iz a different kinda song—this iz startin’ to throw me off. My Rating: 3.7


08. “I’m On Right Nah”
I know dis gon be tha shit, lol!! >>> Lemme quote how you say it: “C-crooked R-OO-crooked K-E-muthafuckin’ D”; DUMB SHIT!!!!! :tu Tha production reminds me of tha Savage-type shit I luv as well as tha Beat Flippa-type and tha shit I’d hear from BR from ’07 and before! Sounds pretty nice on tha 1st verse; consistent shit to tha fullest!! Tha 2nd verse sounds hella tight! “Smoke a lotta sticky;” dumb shit to tha fullest!!! All tha shit goin’ on here wit tha “Coogi” to tha “sticky” to tha “4 + 6 = 10 in my grill,” there’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! My Rating: 4.5


09. “Click House” Feat. Lil’ J & Big Nick
Big Nick’s from tha E.G.E. so you KNOW I gon anticipate a new artist and this whole subject/features!!! >>> Was that someone’s beat tag in tha beginning? Anotha beat that has a “Watch My Shoes” rhythm in it, lol. DEFINITELY hella tight here; CRAZY-ASS hook about tha “click house”!!! J takin’ ova tha 1st verse, goin’ nuts wit all tha consistent content here; all about tha C’s dat sound like grades of A, ya dig?!? Tha 2nd verse iz pretty tight here; “Baton Rouge” to tha fullest!!! Gotta luv those that really rep “Baton Rouge” REAL, REAL HARD!!!!! REALLY feelin’ tha content in tha 3rd verse wit tha “barricading tha doors,” ya dig?!? I’m also luvin’ tha prices outta nowhere; “click house” style, lol!! My Rating: 4.7


½time: Talk about REAL HOT SHIT TO THA FULLEST!!!!! I dunno what else ta say… I’m just BLESSED ta get music like dis, ya dig?!? REAL GLAD you be in touch wit me and shit, ya heard me?!? Keep up tha REAL GR8 work!!! So far, tha CD rating’s at 4.6!!!!!


10. “Mary Jane” Feat. J-Bo
Let’s see how hot dis gon be!! >>> Oh, so this a beat from online? At least it mixes good fa dis CD! Definitely some nice shit from Jigga City J-Bo on tha hook and 1st verse! LOL @ tha content wit “she just roll in tha gar … and I just take a puff;” DEFINITE TIGHTNESS!!! :tu I like all tha inside feelings from tha effects of “Mary Jane”, lol! Here you are on tha 2nd verse, “(meeting) Mary Jane at tha age of 11”! You must’ve REALLY fallen in luv, lol!! DEFINITELY feelin’ what you got here; this shit DEFINITELY puts me in a REAL, REAL, REAL GR8 MOOD!!!!! My Rating: 4.7


11. “Till I See Ya” Feat. J-Bo
Looks like a tribute song dat prolly would be towards tha end of tha CD or somethin’… >>> You put your tight intro in tha beginning. Huh? You forgot J-Bo on tha feature here? I guess you forgot someone on “I’m On Right Nah”, too; I remember hearin’ a different voice. This iz pretty good; I really like tha mood of this beat and how you comin’ through on tha 1st verse! I like tha talkin’ afta tha 1st verse. I enjoy hearin’ certain black people talk conversation/when their high. There’s just somethin’ about it that sounds tight wit tha way things are said… Tha 2nd verse pretty nice wit tha consistent shit. Tha 3rd verse iz soundin’ pretty nice, too, wit tha lyrics. My Rating: 4.3


12. “Neva Bend Or Fold” Feat. Puppy & Bro-Bro
You KNOW I luv titles that reflect (in a different direction) on a Poker play!! DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta dis!!! >>> Sounds VERY NICE wit tha gutta, Southern beat!! Tha hook’s DEFINITELY official!! How can someone not be “real”? LOL, Mr. I’ll Hit Ya a.k.a. Puppy on tha 1st verse, comin’ through nice on tha track! Here comes tha bro Bro-Bro on tha 2nd verse, lol. Just comin’ through wit his TIGHT shit (as always)!! Here you are on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit a lot of GR8 shit for tha streetz! I’m likin’ it although you’ve been in jail before? Hope you don’t go back!! Even if you did, you KNOW I’d write you a letter every month/as frequent as possible ‘cause you know how official I am!!! My Rating: 4.7


13. “How U Get It?”
LOL @ this title; I think it gon bring somethin’ special! >>> Only 2:52 and not an original beat? I remember this beat bein’ from Young Jeezy & Timbaland but sounds pretty tight here. It sounds like anotha song from a younger you. LOL @ tha “take a shit” part! :rofl I like tha “lotto” part; you did tha damn thang on tha 1st verse! Tha 2nd verse pretty nice, too… My Rating: 4.2


14. “U Don’t Want Dat!”
From a question mark to an exclamation point, lol. BTW, you don’t need that apostrophe in “want”; that just makes it “wannot”, lol. Let’s see how tight this iz!! >>> Ooh, a news story in tha beginning! Tha beat’s creepin’ up and sounds pretty tight!! Glad we got a REAL TIGHT gangsta style here!! Sounds like I hear samples from tha J Buc beat tag in tha hook at times, lol. DEFINITELY nice on tha 1st verse here; doin’ tha damn thang wit dis street shit!! Tha 2nd verse gutta as hell, too! “T-H-U-G” to tha fullest!!! REAL HOT beat ending, ya dig?!? My Rating: 4.7


15. “It’s Too Big” Feat. Lil’ J & Paypa Chasa
Now, you got both forms of “it’s” and “too” correct here, lol. This looks like a collab I wanna hear! I wanna know who dis Paypa Chasa dude iz, too, ya dig? >>> Sounds like dis finna be an anthem! This shit’s DEFINITELY catchy and I can agree wit it as far as myself: “my status: it’s too big”!!! Most definitely feelin’ dis shit!! Ooh, Lil’ J on tha 1st verse, “blowin’ doh-doh,” lol!! :tu He had a cool verse here; I felt this one betta than his previous one on this CD. Tha 2nd verse iz Paypa Chasa and he sounds cool on dis shit; glad ta hear anotha newbie! Tha 3rd verse iz tight and gutta at tha same time (as always)! I like tha “Girbauds” part, too; you know what it iz! I also like all tha “big” shit, lol! My Rating: 4.5


16. “Out My Body” / “Pussy-Azz Nigga” Feat. Bro-Bro / “Let’z Get It”
Now before I look at tha title, this iz tha song you want me to put on YouTube. I dunno if it ripped weird when you burned it, or it’s really like this, but it’s 9:55 long, lol? *Checks ID* Oh yea, no wonder, it’s three songs in one, lol. This was what was on your Soundclick page. I will review them all at once then, lol. >>> Crooked production, lol! If it’s what caught my attention to hear your music, it was this! I remember tha rewindin’ of tha shit in tha beginning. It confused me at first, thinkin’, “iz it Soundclick”? Then again, it’s a show intro, I guess… Now, tha real thang starts at :57, soundin’ pretty tight!! You got a GR8 voice fa dis shit!! Tha flow almost scares me in a way, soundin’ like Da Party Boyz’s “Flex” but when you started it off wit, “lungs fulla smoke,” dat gave it away fa me ta luv, ya dig?!? Good shit once again!! I heard tha “4 + 6, dat equals 10 in my grill” part again, lol. Tha 2nd verse iz REAL TIGHT wit how you keepin’ it goin’!! LOL @ tha “females all on my dick like these Polo boxers” part; you DEFINITELY a fool wit it to tha fullest!! Now, 4:47 goes to “Pussy-Azz Nigga”. I don’t need to write about it ‘cause you can just see #6 fa tha review. Now, 7:48 brings tha “Let’z Get It” song; lemme hear “it”, lol. Damn, “breath stankin’ and yawnin’,” lol? This DEFINITELY iz some REAL-ASS SHIT!!!!! :tu VERY CATCHY hook like tha 2nd song on this CD!! REALLY feelin’ tha repetitive title part in tha hook!!! Tha 1st verse iz pretty energetic; fuckin’ TIGHT-ASS SHIT!!!!! Too bad it was pretty short but I pretty much luved it!!! Now, what I’m gonna do here iz average out “Out My Body” and “Let’z Get It” unless one of those songs appear in tha next three. “Out My Body”, I would’ve rated a 4.8 and “Let’z Get It” would’ve been a 4.8, too. So, that just means that #16 iz valued at a 4.8. My Combined Rating: 4.8


17. “Parish Got A Bed 4 Me” Feat. Lil’ J & Bro-Bro
Talk about tightness!! REALLY feelin’ tha title and you brought some of tha big dawgs back on anotha track!! :tu >>> Yea, your TIGHT intro!! Tha beat sounds like it gon be pretty tight as well as this REALLY interestin’ topic!!! Sounds like an interestin’ Jamaican hook and tha beat’s pretty interestin’ wit all tha bass sounds goin’ off! DEFINITELY a gangsta-soundin’ 1st verse from you; you REALLY holdin’ it down!!! Lil’ J’s pretty tight on tha 2nd verse here. “I’m a lil’ nigga but don’t play me like a game;” he knows what it iz! Now, let’s hear dis tightness from Bro-Bro, as he ALWAYS comes through wit it!! Yup! “B-R-O. It gon stay tha same;” co-sign! My Rating: 4.6


18. “Look @ Me Nah!”
Almost looks like #8 but there’s a one in front of tha eight, lol. Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ dis quickie… >>> Tha beat’s pretty nice and I like tha catchy shit on tha hook! You doin’ ya thang here; keep it up!! Tha 1st verse has good shit ta offer; you got shit on lock all day! Tha 2nd verse has some real shit on this nice beat, too; you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.5


19. “Outro: B.R. Bad Boi”
Yea, an outro!! Although, I know you gon put it into a TIGHT song!! >>> Beat tighter and smoother than a ma’fucka here, ya dig? Feelin’ tha consistent rappin’ throughout this! LOL @ tha “shovel” part; sounded random but in a gangsta way at tha same time. My Rating: 4.4


Overall: DEFINITELY some HOT-ASS shit comin’ from dat boy Crooked and Pure Entertainment!!! I’m REAL GLAD I’m on ya team, fuckin’ wit you on some real shit!! Keep stayin’ consistent wit what you do, my boy!!!!!
