Review #1,250: DJ 5150, DJ Hektik, Big Jay, DJ Dow Jones & Dre "N.O. To The B.R. (Bayou Classic Edition)"

Reviewed on 1.31.2013 (Review #1,250)


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


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 #1,250) reviewed on 1.31.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



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…
