Review #1,270: Lil' Cali "Catch Up 2 My Campaign"

Reviewed on 2.04.2013 (Review #1,270)


My next review for today iz Yz’Gyz Entertainment’s Lil’ Cali Catch Up 2 My Campaign! Just by lookin’ at tha front cover, I have a feelin’ that this iz a CD compilation fulla Lil’ Cali’s CDs he released, combined, lol! Start Time: 2:19 PM | End Time: 2:46 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 #1,270) reviewed on 2.04.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Cali Intro
!!! >>> Sounds like “DJ muthafuckin’ Hektik”’s responsible for this… Also, “5150!” Nice lil’ intro that’s 60 seconds long! Oh, I hear what else’s goin’ on; some good samples from you! LOL, I feel like 19 years-old again wit these old samples! My Rating: N/A


02. “Real D Boy” Feat. Sean Kingston
Yuck!! Why this song from tha Warning Shots CD from ’08? I luv dat song “24’s” you got wit Rico & DJ B-Real from that CD! DJ B-Real, you know he my favorite dude outta Louisiana, right? My Current Rating: 3.4


03. “Ain’t No Love” Feat. Mouse & Savage
I don’t have my old CDs on me, since I’m on Long Island, NY, at tha moment. I have a feelin’ this iz from ’04 & from tha Long Live Tha Game CD. *Googles tracklist* Whoops; lemme see this, then… >>> *Gasp* A Savage voice! WHY IZ SAVAGE NOT IN THA ID?!? Do you guys have shit against listin’ producers who sing in tha hook? DJ B-Real, J Buc, and now, Savage? Whether I heard this or not (I know an “Ain’t No Love” wit no features from Just Because…, or did I miss somethin’ when reviewin’ that?), this sounds nice; Savage really does a nice job wit dat hook! It smooth like butta, lol!! Mouse’s on tha 2nd verse, strictly feelin’ 100% southern!! Luvin’ tha flow; real nice track, courtesy of all y’all but most importantly, Savage!! My Rating: 4.5


04. “Thuggin’” Feat. Nipsey Hussle & Lil’ Boosie
Have I heard this before? >>> Nice beginning from that Nipsey Hussle dude… LOL @ you on tha hook, Cali; you sound like you’re in your early 20s! Oh, I think I might’ve heard this in 2010 or 2011, according to Google. Some searches are listin’ that it was from a Lil’ Boosie CD. Either way, let’s see if I can guess my previous rating… My Current Rating: 4.2


05. “Heater On Me” Feat. Gar & Carter Boy
Wow, I thought I didn’t hear this; forgot to check tha Enemy Of The State tracklisting… Still, at least put Carter Boy in tha ID! My Current Rating: 4.3


06. “In There” Feat. Level
*In my Uncle Willy’s voice* “Knewe!!!!!” My Current Rating: 4.9


07. “Ric Flair” Feat. Mouse & Young Dro
SMH @ tha title spelled “Rick”; very old, but I see you must be continuing to reach a mainstream audience wit these old songs that have big-name features? My Current Rating: 4.3


08. “Money Right (Remix 2)” Feat. Level, Lil’ Chuckee & Lil’ Mista
Anotha version? 1st version: Feat. Level & Tank Jones; 2nd verse: Feat. Lil’ Mista, Young Ready & Level; now, this, and it’s Levelless…? >>> What, no Level in tha ID? WTF? WTF iz this Lil’ Chuckee dude doin’ on tha 2nd verse? Not into this voice or tha lyrics at all…; how fucked up fa Young Ready! Somehow, Lil’ Mista still appeared on this song, but tha rating’s much lower than usual, due to that 2nd verse… My Rating: 3.7


09. “I Be Workin’” Feat. OJ Da Juiceman & DJ B-Real
WHY IZN’T DJ B-REAL SOURCED ON THA ID?!? Plus, “The” Juiceman? You don’t know he’s been “Da” fa’eva? Either way, MY FAVORITE LOUISIANA DUDE’S ON THA FEATURE…, whether you wanna admit he’s on tha song or not!! *Hears first few seconds* Why was tha 1st second low quality and then, it went into regular quality? Weird… My Current Rating: 4.6


½time: Sounds like a good compilation of your music, so far, although I have a feelin’ you didn’t go through every one of your CDs… But, it’s still a good CD, minus tha Sean Kingston feature & “Money Right” extra version…; 4.2 for tha CD rating, currently!!


10. “We Don’t Give A Fuck” Feat. Na’Tee & Kevin Gates
Ooh, Just Because style! How can you not luv 3D Na’Tee?! My Current Rating: 4.7


11. “Money Don’t Make Me” Feat. Chosen
Damn, no Chosen on tha feature? No wonder why I can’t find some of these shits… Da Resurrection CD… My Current Rating: 4.2


12. “New World” Feat. Carter Boy
You gotta put a space in between Carter Boy’s name ‘cause there’s a Carterboy (no spaces) out there, in Louisiana. But, I feel this better than when I first reviewed it. My Current Rating: 4.3


13. “Let Me Die” Feat. Trey Songz & Smoke DZA
Warning Shots again… Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!! “24’s” I want!!! “24’s”, not this mainstream shit!!! My Current Rating: 4.0


14. “Nasty” Feat. Kevin Gates
LOL. My Current Rating: 4.1


15. “Wanna Fuck You” Feat. Max Minelli
An Enemy Of The State joint; how you not list Max Minelli on tha feature?!? My Current Rating: 4.3


16. “Fuckin’ Right” Feat. Foxx & Savage
You “fuckin’ right,” “Fuckin’ Right” iz more like it!! But, it’s Foxx on tha feature, not “Milliyone,” lol… My Current Rating: 4.4


17. “Dat Dick (Remix)” Feat. Mystikal & J Buc
Should ID that it’s tha remix in tha ID, since there was an original version from Against All Odds, last year. Also, just like wit DJ B-Real, WHY NO J BUC LISTED IN THA FEATURE?!? It would be called “Dat Nothing” if it wasn’t for his catchy-ass voice and lyrics! >>> Yea, I hear tha same beat as tha original and tha same, J Buc hook! How can you not list a voice like Buc’s on tha feature?!? Your verse iz still tha same; lemme hear this Mystikal, lol… Sounds very random wit tha fastness; no “I just give her dat dick” part at 1:49? Would’ve sounded entertainin’… This ain’t bad for tha remix, but it doesn’t come close to Mouse on tha original! LOL, same 3rd verse from you, Cal! My Rating: 4.3


18. “Bend Over” Feat. Level / Outro
Combining tha two for tha ending, lol? Funny how this and “In There” are both on here ‘cause I used to get them confused. Funny how this song also ended Against All Odds, at #18, too, lol!! But, gotta hear tha outro… >>> Tha outro sounds nice; where’s DJ 5150’s Twitter? My Current Rating: 4.6


Overall: I thought this was a decent compilation. You should make a more-Louisiana, less-mainstream one in tha future, featurin’ cuts like “24’s” wit B-Real!!!
