Review #1,298: Young Ready "Family Ties (Hosted by DJ Wookee)"

Reviewed on 7.04.2013 (Review #1,298)


I got my old mini DV tapes converting/resizing on my MacBook, so instead of sittin’ around and doin’ nothin’, I gon do some reviewz, now that I have tha chance… This first one for today iz Young Ready Family Ties (Hosted by DJ Wookee), off of B.O.W. Entertainment & Crook Muzik Music Group! Originally, I wasn’t supposed to review this CD ‘til I got a hard copy in tha mail from Wook. However, by me bein’ a curious dickhead at times, as well as my free time, I’m like, “Okay, I’ll just review it.” Start Time: 1:04 PM | End Time: 1:47 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! After I was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

01. “Intro”
Production from J.Scalez, here (or, Jay Scales, as he’s spelled on tha back cover). How will we start this off? By tha length, it looks like rapping’ll be in this intro! >>> Now, “Racked-Up Ready”? I rather Young Ready; no need for anotha money name to ruin anotha person’s name! Speakin’ of tha names, what about tha most-important dude in Louisiana? Known as DJ B-Real!! Good intro from Wookee; what do I gotta do to get a shout out? What’s up wit tha “Crook Muzik Music Group” tags? Sounds like dicksuckin’ wit how it sounded! Gay!! Anyway, you doin’ a good job rappin’ about these hoes on this Scalez beat! Nice lil’ “Solo Mafia … shout out ta Savage” part! Of course, gotta give tha king a shout out! Bad ending with tha “liking all my pics” and “I ain’t droppin’ my prices” lines. No need for social media, since I rarely hear from you (I still don’t have your # in 2013, after knowin’ you for five years?), as well as people shouldn’t charge! Collabs are only meant for mutual friendships! My Rating: 4.2


02. “Yeah I’m In This Bitch” Feat. Savage
Ooh, yes! Savage on tha beat, too!! >>> “Mobb shit, biatch!!” Nice lil’ hook, here, ova this nice-soundin’, neva-weak beat!! Sav on tha 1st verse; very consistent wit tha rhymes!! So much ta offer on tha 1st verse, here; real nice job, Sav!! Here’s Ready on tha 2nd verse… Good; can’t complain. Nice endin’ skit dat leads into tha next song… My Rating: 4.5


03. “Insurance Policy”
Scalez, provide some nice “insurance” shit fa Ready!! >>> LOL, nice rhymes, “insurance” style! I know Wook send me this song ta listen to; I remember that catchy hook! “Cancel his Christmas;” sounds like I heard this before, but in case I ain’t review it, I have ta say, that’s a pretty gutta/serious rhyme! Tha 2nd verse sounds nice, too; consistency at its finest! My Rating: 4.5


04. “Sosa Beat”
Ehh, a jacked beat… >>> Not bad, but if you got all original production, there’s really no need for these jacked beats, especially in 2013? Also, why all tha female rhymes? Gangstas don’t spit a ton of rhymes about females; just stick to tha hood! “My Instagram dumb;” nah, no social network references… Where’s Zeus when you need him? He ain’t all ova tha net, and his street credibility iz tha answer why! My Rating: 3.4


05. “Fast Lane” Feat. Danarryl Von
AJC (Tha Kidd AJC?) on tha beat, here… Lookin’ forward to hearin’ this collaboration! >>> Gay vocal start wit this random singer; yuck… Not really off to a good start wit tha rhymes, either, wit tha “countin’ money” shit. When will “money” be faggy to rap about—oh wait, it iz…, but it has to go away!!! Damn, not anotha “costin’ a fee” reference when it comes ta “a verse or a hook.” Ready, why would you want a random white dude wit no street cred on your songs? Like, if he paid you a stack; doesn’t make sense! MUTUAL FRIENDSHIPS ONLY when collaborating on your songs! LOL @ all those “mollys,” for a song like this? Weird… Funny how you said, “Murdafeen,” too (or, did you say, “murda fiend”)? Either way, it’s like a reference to my boy, Murdafeen, so props ta that! My Rating: 2.1


06. “I’m The Truth” Feat. Mista Cain
Not sure who this Yella dude iz on tha beat… However, let’s see what we got wit this… >>> Random excitement in tha beginning; wonder when all that excitement’ll be aimed toward me? Either way, this sounds like one of tha best-soundin’ beats on this CD, so far! Nice job from tha unknown producer!! Good job wit tha hook, too… Got Lil’ Mista on tha 1st verse, here… Just rhymes; that’s it. Here you are on tha 2nd verse… Of course, anotha female reference (“yo bitches got my thang up”); yawn… Also, “money” shit… Again, it’s just rhymes; doesn’t grab my heart’s attention… My Rating: 4.1


½time: So far, this iz a good CD; gotta give you more props for keepin’ ‘em comin’… Currently, 3.8 iz tha value of this CD; how will it continue?


07. “Guap Beat”
>>> Thought this was an interesting beat start ‘til I saw that it wasn’t even an original beat, smh. Bad intro, here, wit all this social networking shit. I gotta give you props fa retweeting my tweets, but wit 1,300 reviewz in, tons of exposure, videos, five years of knowin’ you and more, I should be important ta you automatically, without me havin’ to do all tha initial work… But, I’m not feelin’ tha 1st verse, either; sounds like you’re tryna sell out wit all this “Hold Dat Noise” ‘legend-in-your-own-mind’ perspective, and tha “phone” shit. Well, overall, tha lyrics were trash for me; not too much for me to get excited about, here… My Rating: 2.0


08. “Freestyle” Feat. Lee Banks
An original production wit “Freestyle” as tha title? Boo on tha production; glad ta hear him again… However, you prolly could’ve had a better title fa this… Maybe, have tha jacked beats have “Freestyle” in their titles…? >>> Good start from Wookee on tha intro, as well as Banks with his consistent rhymes… Iz it me, or iz everyone a father in Louisiana, at a young age? I guess my patience with all that heavy sex shit keeps my consistency goin’. If I was a dad, I dunno if my consistency would continue. I feel like there’s too much distraction. Like, you’re 50% rapper/50% dad; 100% focus iz impossible…, unless you’re real bad on tha other end! Here you are on tha 2nd verse… An okay start ‘til you started talkin’ ‘bout your mysterious “phone,” that I neva talked to on. Tha only one I talked to on was Savage’s, back in November 2008. Rhymes, here, are just rhymes; nothin’ special. Why 4:38 for a freestyle? Shouldn’t it be 2:30 less? My Rating: 3.6


09. “Fuck A Nigga” Feat. Dundray & Lil’ Juice
Got Dundray on tha beat, too… >>> Why tha beat tag in tha beginning? When will people learn, instead of followin’ all these stupid trends? But, tha beat don’t sound that bad… This sounds betta than some of tha shit on here; doesn’t even fit on this CD ‘cause of how it has a Baton Rouge sound on it, where this CD’s not really 100% Baton Rouge, fa me… Hearin’ this 1st verse, and it sounds good fa tha vibe… “Free my nigga M Dot & free my nigga 4;” glad M Dot’s outta jail, now! Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse… Betta rhymes from you. I wonder if you’ll be shoutin’ me out when I’m long gone. “When I heard dat shit ‘bout Mista, I could’ve fuckin’ cried;” wow, lots of emotion, here! I dunno who’ll “cry” fa me; I don’t even think I have value to anyone… Well, maybe to B-Real; that’s prolly it… Others, I prolly don’t know about… Back to tha song, we got tha 3rd verse, and it sounds like tha dude on tha 1st verse; that good vibe from tha 1st verse, continuing… Does everyone have friends or somethin’? I don’t know anyone that doesn’t say, “Free,” somebody. I guess it’s Lil’ Juice ‘cause they said, “Rest in peace Lil’ Dundray.” My Rating: 4.3


10. “Understanding Beat”
Noooooooooooo………………… >>> I take off for pre-pasted hooks, too… This ain’t for me at all; why this soft, female shit?! Mixtape, or album?! Fuck, anotha “phone” line!! Ahh, I can’t tolerate these rhymes any longer (2nd verse)!! My Rating: 1.1


11. “Look How That Ass Movin’” Feat. Dundray
Lil’ Ken beat, but why this topic?! >>> Anotha really good-soundin’ beat, but I swear, this doesn’t sound like it belongs on this CD! This belongs on, like, a Pyrex Radio edition or somethin’! Almost thought that was Mista on tha 1st verse, but I guess it’s Lil’ Dundray, comin’ through wit some Mista-soundin’ rhymes… Hey, why this beat sound like DJ B-Real & Zeus’ “It’s Nothin’” off dat Pay Da Producer Vol. 1 CD? Its format iz very similar, hence their similar lengths, too! Anyway, here you are on tha 2nd verse, Ready, but why a reversed word (“Ferneshia”? A name?)? Damn, anotha “call” reference; why?! Either way, I enjoyed this one… My Rating: 4.4


12. “So What” Feat. C-Loc
Endin’ it with a production from… fuck, no one! >>> Good start wit Loc on tha hook, but damn, anotha female reference? I didn’t know hoes were tha essence of keepin’ it 100% street, smh?! Too commercial wit these rhymes from Loc, here, on tha 1st verse and hook… Jumpin’ right inta tha 2nd verse wit you, Ready; let’s see how much longer ‘til a female—“jump from dick ta dick;” okay, somethin’ came up before I could even finish my sentence, smh… I like tha “Toni Braxton” reference about hittin’ “a note,” but too many female references, once again… My Rating: 3.7


Overall: I think I know why Wookee didn’t send me a hard copy of this… I almost thought this was a compilation CD, but it’s just about average for a CD rating; nothin’ spectacular for me… My suggestion for you on future music: Please, don’t go by “Racked-Up Ready;” don’t need anotha artist turning watered-down with a money name! One artist I talked to had a cool name, but then, they turned it into “G-Money”. I swear, I don’t think I wanna even hear their music anymore; I have a unique mind that doesn’t follow others, so I don’t fuck wit typical shit that everyone ‘likes’. Next, if you keepin’ it all tha way street, you need to let go of a bunch of tha female references. Almost every song on this CD had a female reference. Like, where’s tha “Gangsta Bow” shit, or tha shit with Zeus that I grew up to? DJ B-Real gangsta vibes? Maybe, you gotta go back to Camp Life Entertainment again? Or betta yet, just wait for my new album to come in tha future (this year or next year), about news stories in my life! Hope you take these considerations serious… Whether or not I eva hear from you through tha phone again, I just know that I’ll be gettin’ a job in tha video world, real soon, so there might not be anymore phone calls with me… I’ll be communicating with people who write me back and check out my shit!
