Reviewed on 1.31.2013 (Review #1,252)


My final review of today, which iz also tha last review of this month, iz Silvabak Gz Entertainment’s Yung Jedi a.k.a. J.Hu$tle Doomsday! Got buku luv fa my boy, J.Hu$tle! Start Time: 11:40 PM | End Time: 12:42 AM


Disclaimer: 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. If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

© 2013 CD Review (Review #1,252) reviewed on 1.31.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. DD Intro
>>> LOL @ tha start! Watch out ‘cause tha Jedi’s in tha buildin’!! Nice lil’ beginning fa what’s about ta be tha Doomsday CD!! My Rating: N/A


02. “Yung Jedi”
Self-titled joint, I see… >>> Oh yea, this tha song you sent me a better, more-mastered version of. I like that catchy hook ova this slow beat; “bitch, I’m a Yung Jedi! And, I’m a Silvabak G (I’m a Silvabak G)!” Good shit comin’ outta tha 1st verse wit a slow vibe/slow flow, comin’ through wit dat Silvabak shit! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, especially for tha Superbowl! However, I hate sports, but luv you, lol… My Rating: 4.4


03. “Get It On” w/BJ Feat. Capizle & N.O. Meazy
Tryna understand your IDs of tha tracks as best as I can… >>> Good interlude in tha beginning, but I’m really not feelin’ tha hook! Should’ve skipped it, since it had a-tune in it! Tha rating will be under 3.0, so beware! But, tha verses aren’t too bad, here. You’re on tha 3rd verse and it’s a nice lil’ verse from you, comin’ through fa ya town… My Rating: 2.5


04. “Broke Man” Feat. Capizle & N.O. Meazy
LOL, attack of tha radio-edited songs I edited from 2010 comin’ in tha reviewz, 2013 style, lol; just reviewed one earlier… At least wit this one, this CD came out after I got tha radio edits onto YouTube. I remember playin’ this on my radio show or somethin’, since I edited it. Lemme re-hear it and give it a review… >>> Despite this bein’ a song about bein’ depressed and comin’ from tha struggle, you know I had to feel it, this time. I like tha hook about bein’ poor and shit. Also, some nice sounds comin’ outta tha beat, switchin’ shit up and shit. You’re on tha 1st verse and you got shit on lock! Speakin’ of lock, I like how you say, “This what a cell iz,” or whateva; I feel your pain! Tha 2nd verse’s good; great lil’ 504-type voices ta deliver this shit, includin’ tha good lyrics! Tha 3rd verse’s good wit tha paranoid character, too; good shit, everyone! My Current Rating: 4.3


05. “G-Swagg” Feat. Tanya Davis
Not really my kinda title, but I’ll be patient wit you, playbaw! >>> Okay, I’m likin’ tha female on tha hook; good job, Tanya! Tha beat sounds a lil’ catchy, like I was hearin’ an undaground/local song on tha radio! Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some shit dat makes you feel like a superhero; keep twistin’ dat shit up, Hu$$! Good shit you spittin’, consistently! I like tha “I wanna be… high, in my Lionel Richie voice” line; character and quoting at its finest! Wow, only one verse? Seemed like this breezed by, but I’m feelin’ it! My Rating: 4.4


06. “SBGeeD Up”
I like tha lower-case and upper-case letters goin’ on, here! Keep representin’, playbaw!! >>> Beat sounds like an anthem fa tha streetz; good shit! I like how you come through wit your gutta voice fa tha hook, feelin’ “Silvabak Geed Up!!” Tha 1st verse sounds very motivated; you on ya shit, bruh! Keep feelin’ like you tha shit ‘cause really, you are tha shit!! Gotta flood yo ass wit awards ASAP!! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty nice, too; you got tha ladies fiendin’ fa you, always! My Rating: 4.5


07. “Pen N Pad”
What’s this “Vid”? >>> Oh, I think it’s just called “Pen N Pad”; you got extra shit in tha IDs, here and there… Anyway, beat sounds pretty nice, although tha volume’s kinda low, here… I really like tha motivation of tha hook on writin’ rhymes: “All I need iz tha pen n tha pad!” Most definitely; fuck those rappers that don’t write their rhymes down! How can you add quality, then, without writin’? Good shit comin’ from you on tha 1st verse, here; thumbs up fa your anthems! Sounds like you got a lotta great potential singles from this CD!! I’m lookin’ forward ta playin’ ‘em!! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ great, too! Good shit comin’ from dat fuckin’ mouth of yours, Mr. Jedi!!! Tha 3rd verse iz you gettin’ your “shine” on, here; keep feelin’ like a king, playbaw!! My Rating: 4.5


08. “Fuk ‘Em” Feat. Fendi P, Fiend & Int. Jones
LOL @ tha ID; like tha “fuk” without tha “C”! >>> Beat kinda sounds familiar, here, so I dunno how much I’ll get outta this… Okay, I’m likin’ tha non-stop middle finger attitude on tha hook, lol! Tha 1st verse iz pretty gangsta from this Fendi P dude; I’m feelin’ it! Can’t say that it’s bullshit like others ‘cause I can have faith in Fendi P and anybody you fuck wit, J! You’re on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit your gangsta shit; feelin’ it and your style, bruh! My grandma was like, “You’re gonna push further fa anotha review tonight,” after I told her I was tired. And, I was like, “Tomorrow’s February; I deserve ta get this review done while it’s still January!” And yes, this CD’s keepin’ me awake! Got Fiend comin’ through on tha 3rd verse wit a nice character; good job deliverin’ these rhymes, in an undaground perspective fa tha big dawg, J.Hu$tle! My Rating: 4.0


09. “GNA Half” Feat. 6 Ward Pook, Capizle & Jesse James
More tight collaborations! >>> Oh, “Gangsta-N-A” iz “GNA,” lol; Lazy Hu$tle, lol? Nah, I’m just fuckin’ wit chu, playbaw! But, I’m likin’ tha beat and hook; you definitely comin’ through wit more quality shit!! Likin’ tha 1st verse from 6th Ward Pook, comin’ through wit his two cents! Great voice ta feed these fiendin’, 504 streetz!! Ooh, here you are on tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse, J, comin’ through wit dat street shit that we need! Oh, didn’t realize tha short length, so it looks like this 2nd verse gon be split… Hearin’ Capizle on tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some gangsta shit, too; gotta fuckin’ luv it!! Jesse James’ on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse, blendin’ in nicely for someone I neva heard of/barely know!! My Rating: 4.3


10. “High” Feat. Capizle & Fendi P
I’m definitely lookin’ forward ta dis!! >>> Yes, a hot beat that sounds like tha streetz of Parasite Eve!! Ooh!! Well, I didn’t expect tha singin’ on tha hook, but it sounds good; at least you’re “high” in tha background, ya dig? Let’s see this 1st verse… Dividin’ it into “99,” huh? Wow, you’re really comin’ through fa these peeps, here! Even got tha “hoes” who “luv tha taste of [your] dick;” damn! Fuckin’ gutta-ass Jedi!! “Yung Jedi”? Naw, “Gutta-Azz Jedi” iz your name, here!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit Capizile on tha 2nd verse; lookin’ forward! “Smokin’ on tha reggie;” hell yeah!! Good representin’, once again! Good background shit from Fendi P, right before tha 3rd verse! Likin’ his while-I’m-“high”-type shit on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit dat “high” shit! “Smell it through tha whole house;” can somebody say, “Mmmm,” lol? My Rating: 4.5


½time: This CD’s definitely off tha muthafuckin’ hook, right now!! Of course, tha neva-disappointin’—well, #3 was—Yung Jedi!! Keep up tha great work!! So far, this CD’s worth 4.2 for tha CD rating, currently!!


11. Auto Rap
>>> Huh? What iz this? I’ll be nice and not count this as a song… My Rating: N/A


12. “Time 4 Me (Bounced Out by BlaqNMild)” Feat. Byou2ful
Oh, this (“Time 4 Me”); recognized tha title… I know I played this on my radio show. Now, I’ll give it a review (I don’t remember reviewin’ tha remix)! >>> Gotta feel tha bounce vibe; interestin’ way ta make an original version sound hella good! Not sure why I didn’t put this on my playlist, but it still sounds good today! Shout out ta Byou2ful soundin’ real nice on that hook! Your rhymes sound good fa tha Gs, hoes, err-body, here! And, BlaqNMild really comin’ through on tha beat! It sounds like a simple bounce beat, but it sounds like it has a lot goin’ on in it, energy wise! My Current Rating: 4.4


13. “Man Right Chea” Feat. Reep
Here you are as AJ (accordin’ to tha ID)? >>> Nice beat to rap on; nothin’ but dat G-shit comin’ out yo mouth! Gotta luv this, as you’re comin’ through wit some nice shit on tha 1st verse! Tha hook sounds nice; iz Reep a feature? I’ll consider that a feature; hope it ain’t somethin’ random in tha ID, lol… Lots of alternatin’ goin’ on durin’ tha 2nd verse? I’m likin’ this; it’s like a gangsta war, from side to side! All this needs iz some sound effects and shit to really set tha environment! Wow, that Reep dude, whoeva he iz, has a lotta shit ta say! Thumbs-tha-fuck-up!! My Rating: 4.3


14. “BROK” Feat. Capizle, Felix & 6 Ward Pook
Anotha hot collaboration comin’ up!! >>> Nooooooooooooooooo!! Now, I have ta regain my excitement ‘cause this iz tha “Bedrock” beat from so long ago! :( Either way, rhymes ain’t too bad from you, here, on tha 1st verse. If this was an unknown beat, I prolly would have more focus… Capizile’s on tha 2nd part and he sounds good wit his parts. However, original beat iz needed!! Let’s hear this Felix dude on tha 3rd part… Okay, I’m likin’ tha rhymes, but because of this beat, it’s makin’ err-body sound like Wayne on tha flow; boo! Rhymes are slowly becomin’ less-exciting as Felix’s verse goes on…; blah, blah, blah! How many different typical topics can he fit in a 16?? Endin’ it wit tha Pook; hope he has some hot shit ta offer… Yea, comin’ through, reppin’ fa da “China White!” My Rating: 3.4


15. “B” Feat. N.O. Meazy
Iz it really just called “B”? >>> Beat sounds jacked, once again, but I’ll try to focus… You’re on tha 1st verse, and it’s okay; nothin’s exactly stickin’ out fa me, but I’m likin’ your G-shit… After tha 1st verse, there’s too long of a break before tha 2nd verse… Here’s Meazy, comin’ through wit okay shit. Sounds a lil’ different wit him soundin’ like he’s singin’ some parts, but it’s whateva… My Rating: 3.5


16. “Raw Material”
Iz this tha correct title (“Raw Material”)? >>> Guess it iz, based off your intro… LOL, didn’t expect this to be a bounce song; very jammin’ on tha hook! Didn’t think it was dedicated to tha females, either! Nice set of beats goin’ on throughout tha 1st verse, includin’ you havin’ fun, here! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too; nothin’ I can really say ‘bout this when it’s so jammin’, lol… Even a 3rd verse? Nice and long fa a bounce song, lol… My Rating: 4.1


17. J4
>>> Whoa, two seconds, lol? That flew by; nice lil’ tag! Shortest thing I eva reviewed? My Rating: N/A


18. “Gud” Feat. N.O. Meazy
>>> What happened at :32? Different spellin’ of tha Lord? Neva have I had someone have tha balls ta spell his name different! Anyway, it sounds only okay fa me; Meazy’s on tha 1st verse, spittin’ regular rhymes… You’re on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some better rhymes, but tha song iz only okay for me, overall… My Rating: 3.3


19. YJ-Yoda
LOL, again! >>> Whoosh! My Rating: N/A


20. “Ain’t Hard 2 Tell”
Endin’ it with… >>> Sounds almost familiar, but tha volume’s so low… Catchy lil’ hook you’re providin’, here; like how you turn a regular saying into somethin’ catchy! Nice beat, here, includin’ your real-life shit goin’ on durin’ tha 1st verse! You’re such a gutta dude!! Oh, now I know why this sounds a lil’ familiar: I think you rapped some of this to me on tha phone? I remember tha “Windex” line; makes sense! Glad you came through rawer on tha phone fa me! And, as far as this ending, not bad… My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Good shit, playbaw!! You comin’ through nicely fa tha 5-0-4!! Keep up tha great work and always stay active!!

© 2013 CD Review (Review #1,251) reviewed on 1.31.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Kevin Gates “Sinatra”
My Current Rating: 3.6


02. X-Fyle Feat. Master P, Romeo & The Louie V Mobb “Smoke, Drank & Cut”
You know he just “Romeo” now, right, Mr. X-Fyle? >>> Sounds good wit tha title, but no way am I into tha hook!! Can’t even tell anyone’s voices; not for me, despite me likin’ tha title! My Rating: 1.4


03. X-Fyle Feat. Coppertop “Hell Of A Night”
>>> What’s this gay beginning? Aren’t I listenin’ to rappers, not singers? Not really for me; tha 2nd verse iz barely okay… My Rating: 1.2


04. Birdman “Nightclub”
Not in tha DatPiff folder… >>> Why this mainstream shit fa this compilation? I understand you produced it, but keep it undaground! Now, that’s “100!” Oh yea, no a-tune for me! My Rating: 1.0


05. Birdman Feat. Mack Maine & Drake “You Too Fine”
Why? >>> Really long intro wit tha hook, although it’s tha catchiest hook outta tha five songs, so far. Not too bad, but I don’t need to hear this pop shit on an undaground producer’s mixtape! My Rating: 3.2


06. X-Fyle Feat. Down Bad “MollyWhopped”
Forgot how it went… >>> Once again, cool beat; a great song to get fucked up to… My Current Rating: 4.3


07. X-Fyle Feat. Mookie Blakk “We Be Dummy”
That’s two “K”s in his name! BTW, I think this iz an ’09 joint Mookie sent me that was just called “Dummy”, at tha time? Lemme see… >>> This doesn’t sound like it, despite me neva gettin’ ta hear dat joint except tha beginning beat… Then again, that was just Mookie, not X-Fyle featuring Mookie… This sounds like a cool, “dummy”-type joint, as always; can’t complain… Mookie sounds cool when it comes to tha rappin’; good job. Hearin’ tha 3rd verse; must be you. You’re, like, voiceless to me; I can neva tell when it’s you on a song unless there’s a distinct voice from tha other artist… Either way, your verse’s a lil’ too mainstream for me! It bothers me to hear anything about “money!” My Rating: 3.7


08. Gyft “People See Me (They Just Don’t Know)”
First new artist on here… >>> Really? 6:25 on tha length wit a beat start like this… Okay, tha sample’s teasin’ me to like this a lil’ bit. Reminds me of anotha beat you produced. I won’t get into that, unless we talk privately ‘cause I don’t wanna put tha thief’s name out there! But, surprisingly, I’m likin’ this a lil’ bit; this rapper iz aight, but it sounds like a good joint, overall. Really long outro, here… My Rating: 4.0


09. X-Fyle Feat. Mouse “Eddie Kane”
>>> Sounds good; automatically, this tha type of shit you can’t deny! Must be you rappin’, here; it sounds good, despite some of tha mainstream-type shit you be sayin’… Tha hook’s pretty catchy; can’t help it when it comes ta a name bein’ tha title! Mouse On Tha Track on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit his entertainin’-ass! My Rating: 3.8


½time: A few songs that were really shitty, but there’s some good/decent shit on here; only a 2.9 for tha CD rating, currently. X-Fyle, it’s time ta cut on tha wack, mainstream shit!


10. Birdman “Money Machine”
Also, not in tha DatPiff folder… >>> No wonder! My Rating: 1.0


11. Mookie Blakk Feat. Sam I Am “Dat Level”
If only I would’ve gotten this CD when it came out. Then, when I uploaded tha radio edit, I could’ve put which CD it came off of. Y’all need to not delay these CDs; c’mon, now! My Current Rating: 4.3


12. X-Fyle “Life & Times”
>>> A calm beat wit some good rhymes. Somethin’ about your samples seem to catch attention. I usually hate ‘em, but this anotha one I’m feelin’. Not bad ta listen ta this; I think this iz tha “times” of tha 1984 babies! It seems like err-body from ’84’s real cool ta deal wit, or I keep dealin’ wit ’84 babies! Dumb shit! My Rating: 3.5


13. Lil’ Boosie & B.G. “Gamez”
>>> Nice beat this time, X! Good lil’ hook wit Boosie talkin’ about people takin’ him as if he was some sorta technology! Hearin’ Gizzle on tha 1st verse, and why iz he so quiet, it sounds like? It’s okay, but too quiet… Boosie’s on tha 2nd verse and he’s quiet, too; increase da vocals, X! But, I’m likin’ all these “gamez” references, such as “Pac-Man!” Tha rest of this iz good…, but quiet! My Rating: 4.4


14. X-Fyle “Flyboyz”
>>> Real nice sounds in tha beginning!! I hope this turns out ta be somethin’ real good… Good job wit tha hook, here; soundin’ nice and “fly!” Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good; why this gotta be 4:31? I like tha long lengths when there’s usually a feature or two… Almost sounds like Max Minelli on tha 2nd verse, but it’s all you? I like tha “kush” line… Despite tha long length, there’s a long beat outro; yea, let dat beat ride out!! My Rating: 4.4


15. X-Fyle Feat. Mouse & Box “Spread My Wings”
LOL! My Current Rating: 4.4


16. X-Fyle Feat. Tank Jones “Let Yourself Go”
>>> No a-tune for me! I’m too old fa dat! I’m 24, X-Fyle!! 20-muthafuckin’-4!! I think I was too old for it when I was 20, 21, too! You were 20, 21 when “Y’all Heard Of Me” started blowin’ up…; no a-tune then! Think, X-Fyle, think! My Rating: 1.0


17. Tre Virdure “Covergirl”
>>> Little would I know that an R&B song would beat a bunch of songs on here. Either way, beat sounds nice for an R&B song, and Tre sounds good, mixin’ it up wit some rap-type topics wit tha “car.” Also, interestin’ vocals durin’ tha verses… My Rating: 3.3


18. X-Fyle Feat. Lil’ Boosie, B.G. & Louisiana Ca$h “Bottom Of The Boot”
>>> Nice beat; great super Louisiana collaboration, here… My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Before I comment, I have ta say, thank God you don’t have tha BR rapper that robbed me outta a ½ stack on here! You produced fa him, and you were smart enough ta not put him on here! That’s a good look, X-Fyle; glad you’re so smart! Anyway, not tha best compilation, but I’ll give you credit for puttin’ some good songs on here.

Keepin’ tha reviewz goin’ wit DJ 5150, DJ Hektik, Big Jay, DJ Dow Jones & Dre N.O. To The B.R. (Bayou Classic Edition). Looks like this anotha CD that sold 0 copies in tha streetz ‘cause tha length’s 1:40:35… Start Time: 2:13 PM | End Time: 3:00 PM

01. K. Gates “The Wave”
Lookin’ forward to this new Gates…, 504 style, of course! >>> Sounds like a Superbowl party finna happen… Didn’t think this would be an interlude/skit; good shit, Gates! My Rating: N/A


02. K. Gates “BodyBag”
FlightSchool on tha beat, here! >>> Beat sounds kinda Ross-y for an original production… Ehh, it sounds great wit you rappin’ on it! Ooh, likin’ tha hook; you got a nice voice ta deliver this shit! Tha streetz must luv you!! Got mad respect for you, Gates!! Good 2nd verse, too; lots of energy goin’ on, here!! My Rating: 4.5


03. Lil’ Boosie Feat. Savage & Money Bagz “Play It How It Go”
Lookin’ forward wit this Savage production and feature, although I would be more anticipated if it wasn’t a mainstream artist… >>> Was like, “This doesn’t sound like a Boosie song, luckily,” fa tha start. LOL, that’s Savage on tha 1st verse; real nice! Doesn’t sound like his production; a lil’ on tha mainstream. A lil’ catchy on tha hook fa him, but he takin’ chances wit that voice effect on tha hook! Savage…, be careful! Boosie’s on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit regular shit; same thing wit Money Bagz… My Rating: 4.0


04. Calliope Var Feat. Ceto & Magnolia Chop “Hold It Down”
! >>> Good beginning from Magnolia Chop. In tha file info, you have two spaces separating Magnolia Chop’s name. Well, Savage took a chance wit tha a-tune on tha previous song; why do I gotta hear it on Magnolia Chop’s voice? SMH! Good 1st verse, though; feelin’ tha energy fa tha streetz! Wow, tha ending was so horrible!!! Lots of points bein’ taken off, here!! My Rating: 2.3


05. L.C. & Giga Feat. Kevin Gates “The Mad House”
>>> Beat ain’t too bad; it has a Louisiana/225 feel to it… Tha hook sounds like somethin’ catchy for 2013… Giga’s on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit good energy. It reminds me a lil’ of when L.C. teamed up wit T-Dub fa some tracks. Hearin’ Kevin Gates on tha 2nd verse and there’s a lotta braggin’ goin’ on; nice and consistent! L.C.’s on tha 3rd verse, and it sounds good. This iz good for a song; kinda comes close to tha older shit he put out… My Rating: 4.2


06. K. Gates “The Wave Speaks (Interlude)”
Ooh, an interlude from tha Gatester—okay, that sounded a lil’ corny. Take 2: Ooh, an interlude from Mr. 504 Gates! >>> Good shit, Gates. My Rating: N/A


07. K. Gates “Bigalow”
FlightSchool doin’ more production, here! >>> This iz more of a Louisiana sound than tha previous FlightSchool production… Very consistent wit these rhymes; now, this iz what I call lyrical! Tha hook sounds kinda cool; almost reminds me of a Baton Rouge vibe! Nice 504 vs. 225-type joint, here, courtesy of just you, Gates! Good shit all tha way through, Gates!! My Rating: 4.6


08. Lit Blueblack & Ray Vicks “Street Beat Cha”
Surprised you know of this Blueblack over BluBlack; kinda doesn’t make sense… >>> Okay, but a lil’ street for me for a random rapper. This also sounds a lil’ too much like a Bad Azz Ent.-type joint… I do think tha hook’s a lil’ catchy, though. My Rating: 3.2


09. Lil’ Mista “Pop It For Wne”
I dunno if I’m in tha mood for a tribute song, right now… >>> Lyrics didn’t really fit tha title/hook durin’ tha 1st verse. Iz that Magnolia Chop on tha hook? Of course, a song like this has ta have “fuckin’” in it, smh! Beat sounds tight, though. My Rating: 3.6


10. Fiend Feat. Mouse On Tha Track “Slap That Bitch”
Interestin’ collaboration, here, wit Mouse on tha beat. >>> Almost doesn’t sound like Mouse’s production, at first, ‘til I hear him rap. This sounds like a decent joint, overall. Good 1st verse from Fiend, comin’ through wit some trap shit, wit a “bitch” in tha title, lol? My Rating: 3.7


11. T-Bo “Boune Dat Azz 2.0”
I prolly reviewed this already; I can’t tell ‘cause I’m not home and I deleted tha review of his ‘cause I don’t like how he blocked me from both Facebook & Twitter, after I stated my own opinion on his wack CD he put out! >>> My Current Rating: 4.2


12. K. Gates Feat. Bobby V & B-Raw “I Do That”
What’s wit tha collab? Anybody remember that Bobby Valentino goes by “Bobby V” now? >>> Yea, a lil’ random wit tha hook and tha singin’ from Bobby V… This sounds a lil’ too mainstream for me… However, tha 2nd verse has better lyrics. My Rating: 3.3


13. Dino Danja Feat. K. Gates “In Gunz We Trust”
He had a “We Trust” song wit Lil’ Scottie, recently; iz this tha same song redone? >>> Still sounds good fa Danja’s part… Interestin’ that Gates joined Dino Danja on this shit; I’ll rate it betta than tha other version! My Rating: 4.3


14. Turk “Get Naked”
??? >>> Sounds like some good, gangsta shit. Because he’s been gone for so long, he’s kinda a faceless, voiceless rapper for me. I can’t picture what he looks like, nor do I remember how he sounds, at times… But, glad he still reppin’ dat G-shit, regardless! My Rating: 4.3


15. Lil’ Trill & Shell Feat. DJ B-Real “Lights Off”
SMH @ NOT LISTIN’ MY BIG DAWG, DJ B-REAL ON THA FEATURE!!! But, thumbs up for pickin’ tha best song off that CD! My Current Rating: 4.6


16. The Rap Pack Feat. A Bay Bay “Floatin’”
>>> Why tha “MM” tag in tha beginning? Feel like just skippin’ this! Interestin’ turnout: The Show rappin’? Thought it would be wack, but it’s not ‘cause of Show’s consistent rhymes… Tha hook sounds good, too; fast-movin’ Show, lol… Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty consistent, too; nice turnout! My Rating: 4.2


17. Down Bad “Everybody”
Let’s see how this compares to “Bunz”. Of course, I have a feelin’ that “Bunz” was way better… >>> Ehh, a lil’ similar to Benjamin Racks & YaBoiBeezy’s “Everybody” wit tha beginning, but it’s soundin’ betta tha more I hear about “everybody,” lol! Rhymes are consistent, too; how much “everybody” can you get, lol? Very creative by findin’ so many different subjects!!! My Rating: 4.5


½time: Sounds like a good mixtape compilation, once again; 4.0 for tha CD rating, currently!


18. Young Ready “Feelin’ Like Boosie”
What’s wit tha old music? Betta yet, not-so-good music? My Current Rating: 2.8


19. Webbie “Undisputed”
G-Motive beat; have I heard before? Can’t keep up wit all these random songs from mainstream rappers, anymore… >>> Sounds random; good, but I’m not interested in mainstream rappers, at tha moment. My Rating: 3.8


20. RichKidd Jr. Feat. Choppa “Like Dat”
I liked Lil’ Junior betta for his name, but I guess this iz tha evolution of “dat.” >>> Good bounce music; nice collaboration wit Choppa! Even kickin’ it off wit Choppa doin’ tha 1st verse; good shit ta keep tha party up! Got Lil’ Junior on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some party shit; same wit tha 3rd verse, too! My Rating: 4.1


21. Keedey Black “Rock My World”
I remember this one from tha previous mixtape compilation. Though I don’t agree on havin’ tha same song on two different mixtapes, this chick did her thang wit this one! My Current Rating: 4.6


22. Tim Thugga “Blisted”
Why? >>> Decent/above average. However, looks like his dayz of gettin’ spins wit me and shit are effectively over. I haven’t heard from him about my 2012 awards in tha mail, either, so he might be completely over fa me! My Rating: 3.9


23. K. Gates “Bub Story”
Interestin’ title. >>> Nice rhymes; really likin’ all tha not “givin’ a fuck, fuck” shit on tha hook! Keep up tha rappin’; you fuckin’ rule!! Woo @ tha 2nd verse; gonna increase my rating fa all this consistent, lyrical shit!!! My Rating: 4.5


24. Curren$y Feat. Young Roddy “Ex Girls”
I recognize tha feature, but I think this iz a new song… >>> Anotha nice, laidback joint from $pitta; nice rhymes and as always, great voice fa dis shit! Promising hook about, “I can still fuck all of my ex girls,” lol. Young Roddy doesn’t sound that bad on tha 2nd verse, too; nothin’ disappointin’, here… My Rating: 4.1


25. A-One (Wissel) “F.U.C.K.”
How will this hold up against tha Curren$y joint, sayin’ he wanted to “fuck all his ex girls”? >>> Why a “MM” intro? Turn-off!!! Not feelin’ this beat, and tha rhymes are okay. However, I like tha title part in tha hook; more on tha “keep a choppa” tip than fuckin’, I guess? My Rating: 3.4


26. Jason Lyric “Might Not Make It”
Heard this one already from his CD. My Current Rating: 3.7


27. Sess 4-5 Feat. 6 Ward Pook & Sino “So Much Money”
Like tha artists, but I don’t like tha title… >>> Bullshitty hook… Ehh, not really for me, but it’s not terrible, since y’all keep it street. My Rating: 3.5


28. K. Gates “Splittin’ It (Spitarillo Anthem)”
!! >>> Really slow vibe; nice! Tha flow sounds nice and interestin’! However, tha flow on tha hook’s startin’ ta sound like a bullshit jacked song, smh! Despite tha flow, I’m feelin’ tha perspective you bringin’ to tha table, Gates! Gotta always light a spliff, right? Not feelin’ tha background vocals! Reminds me of Ca$h Out-type bullshit! Very mixed review, here; I think it was more negative than positive… My Rating: 3.2


29. Lee Banks “Fuck Wit Me”
>>> Started off tha bat. Not writin’ down lyrics “since 2010”? I think that’s a weakness for memorable songs, now. I could neva picture me rappin’ about tha houses in Hollywood, FL without writin’ it down… Either way, this iz only about lyrics; nothin’ special for a song, overall. My Rating: 3.5


30. Rudye Feat. Bengie Bee & J Fletcha “Hood Knocking”
Thumbs up fa some Rudye! >>> Nice start from Rudye! I feel anticipated and locked-in!! Yes, light tha “dutch,” Rudye! Light it!! Great 1st verse, givin’ you a day in tha life in tha streetz wit Rudye! Feelin’ tha hook, too; glad you consistently reppin’ for tha “hood,” here, Rudye!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit Bengie Bee on tha 2nd verse… Not really into tha Eazy-E jacked shit, as well as tha “money” shit. Ehh, could’ve gotten a better feature, but it iz what it iz, I guess? Cut scene in tha middle… Oh, J Fletcha on tha 3rd verse? Not listed in tha feature…? Thought I might’ve heard this, since it’s on some The Hallows-type shit, but it’s still good to hear Fletch randomly appear… My Rating: 4.4


31. Puppy Feat. Nu$$ie “Going Nu$$ie”
Looks like somethin’ I would skip… >>> Not as bad as I thought, but let him R.I.P.! Not even really a feature; just a lil’ sample part in tha hook! What a rip-off for what I expected!! Also, how dickrided iz this: Tha intro and outro don’t have any blendin’, mixin’, or any cut-offs goin’ on; why wasn’t it mixed together? This izn’t somethin’ to have stand out! My Rating: 3.2


32. B.G. & Gar “Real Is Back”
Not really into this title, but I know they don’t disappoint. >>> Beat’s nice; good shit from both Gizzle & Gar! Gar’s real consistent on this beat; thumbs up!! My Rating: 4.2


33. 31stDeedy Feat. K. Gates “Makin’ A Dollar”
LOL, what, did K. Gates find everyone from tha previous N.O. To The B.R.s and hook up wit them from Baton Rouge? >>> Beginning sounds okay, but I’m not into this kinda rap music about money! However, K. Gates has a verse that’s soundin’ pretty-good, here… My Rating: 3.0


34. 6th Ward Pook Feat. Skipp Bullet “Fuck Somethin’”
Skip wit one “P” or Skipp wit two “P”s, tha way you have it? *Checks Google* Oh, it’s not “Skipp & Bullet”, it’s “Skipp Bullet”, without an “and!” >>> Not bad for tha beginning and hook; this iz okay, although I don’t usually expect this kinda shit fa a New Orleans artist… Oh wait, I hear Skip (one “P”) on tha 2nd verse; I’m confused… Maybe, I’ll keep it tha way you have it, 5150, except take tha extra “P” outta Skip’s name… My Rating: 3.6


Overall: Turned out to be more decent than usual, although there were still tha hot jointz on here…

Review #1,249: Lil' Half Ounce "My Better Half"

Reviewed on 1.31.2013 (Review #1,249)


Up next, Mississippi’s own Lil’ Half Ounce, also known as Hollywood Half, My Better Half! Thanx for sendin’ me this in tha mail, ½ Ounce! Start Time: 12:33 PM | End Time: 12:45 PM


Disclaimer: 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. If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

© 2013 CD Review (Review #1,249) reviewed on 1.31.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.

02. “I Thank Him For Everythang”
>>> Beat’s way too soft fa me; one thing that’s wrong wit today’s rappers iz beats like this. Rhymes ain’t too bad; luckily, this ain’t too long of a song… Ehh, not much iz catchin’ my attention, here; tha hook’s a lil’ catchy wit how you deliver it, though. My Rating: 2.6


03. “She Got A Thong On”

>>> A lil’ too mainstream for me; sounds like pop/R&B… My Rating: 2.2


07. “Birthday Party”
>>> I don’t like this beat, here; sounds like tha mainstream shit of today… Tha rhymes sound a lil’ betta, here; interestin’ “birthday party” theme… My Rating: 3.4
