Review #1,359: FrankieThaLuckyDog Presents "Tha Louisiana Archives Vol. 16: ...Tha End?"

Reviewed on 12.21.2013 (Review #1,359)


‘Bout ta review tha 16th and final installment of my Tha Louisiana Archives mixtape compilation. It’s unfortunate that it’s my last; find out more when I review tha outro to this mixtape! So once again, here goes my review for FrankieThaLuckyDog Presents Tha Louisiana Archives Vol. 16: …Tha End?. BTW, due to a lack of interest people had in this, I did not host, mix, and blend it! Start Time: 4:11 PM | End Time: 4:46 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! 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. Savage “Money Whipped”
Startin’ off wit a slow jam? Goes to show you I could care less about what’s goin’ on… Either way, had a Savage day on October 22, 2013, after a random dream. I added this to show luv, and that’s why it’s on here. Samples SWV’s “Weak” on tha hook; sounds more upbeat on my CD, here, thanx to tha boost in tha pitch! Sav can pull this off and it sounds good. Nice slow/semi-upbeat vibe for tha ladies! My Current Rating: 4.0


02. 2 Slugz Feat. Lil’ Cali “All Week”
My Current Rating: 4.5


03. 31st Deedy Feat. Savage & Ree-Up “Dope Boi Swag”
My Current Rating: 4.7


04. Hollowtip “#MollyWorld”
My Current Rating: 4.3


05. Lil’ Cali Feat. Versey “Pow!”
My Current Rating: 4.7


06. Live Boy Scooter “Get Smoked”
Added this based off tha fact that Scooter showed me luv by followin’ me on Twitter. However, he ain’t answer my call and then, ain’t answer me back on Twitter about tha call. It kinda tells me that I jumped too quick with this song. Like, I added it without a result? A lil’ too quick… Anyway, this joint’s kinda random for me. Tha hook sounds like a sampled kid from tha hood or somethin’. And, rhymes are a lil’ random, once again… My Current Rating: 3.5


½time: So far, good, but all of these songs flopped on my playlist, after I started really gettin’ into Gunplay’s music, and leanin’ off of Louisiana music… But, tha CD’s at a 4.3 CD rating, so far…


07. Point Blank Fam Feat. Kevin Gates “Roller Coaster”
My Current Rating: 4.9


08. Racked-Up Ready Feat. Savage “Ain’t Tryna Be Ya Mane”
My Current Rating: 4.6


09. Sess 4-5 Feat. Mr. Magic “#SeeWutDatDo”
My Current Rating: 4.8


10. Doonie “Da Quickness”
My Current Rating: 4.8


11. Yung Yola “Everybody Thuggin’”
Just got this two dayz ago. Lemme hear this for tha 1st time and see what’s up wit this… >>> Wow, didn’t even hear tha 1st second, as it says that he produced tha track! Now, it’s all about “Mollies;” glad he adjustin’ to it! Beat sounds regular (almost figured it was an online beat when I skimmed through a few seconds), and tha hook’s catchy. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good; his rhymes definitely are consistent and are great fa me! Don’t mind what he spittin’, too! Gotta not “pick up ya pants,” like ya said, ‘cause ya showin’ ya ass! Glad you still got that in you, Yola! That’s why I luv you wit all my heart! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse, and good shit! “Time ta light tha blunt up;” keep smokin’, my boy! Wow, this went by quick; I thought a 3rd verse was gon come outta this… My Rating: 4.6


12. FrankieThaLuckyDog “Outro: Final Message”
Here’s what I had to say:
It's FrankieThaLuckyDog, here, with a statement I need to make. Unfortunately, it looks like this'll be my final installment of Tha Louisiana Archives. Time and time again, I've tried to create an outlet for tha unknown - tha ones that aren't widely known in Louisiana, but there's a complete lack of interest. A lack of interest that makes me have a lack of interest for new Louisiana music. There wasn't one person that booked a spot on my mixtape, and it's only $20 for a spot! For someone who posts for over 3,000 Facebook “friends,” it goes to show you how unimportant I am in this underground—“fantasy world”—of Louisiana. I thought I was “known” to tha point where people would know that every 90 dayz, I would drop a mixtape, not where I'd have to constantly waste time posting about it. I would've loved to stay on a consistent grind like no other, and put a mixtape out every 90 dayz, for years and decades, without feeling too old; too bad tha people don't agree wit me, and made me last for only 16 rounds! I also believe that tha Louisiana generation I embraced, starting back in 2007, was what I was born to love: Club bangaz, jiggalatin' anthems, people embracing tha sound of Louisiana, and gangsta shit with a Baton Rouge underground sound. Now, people like Mista Cain, who randomly get thrown into a raffle and picked to get all tha “attention”, iz what's this generation, that I don't understand; it's another reason why they get 300 likes in an hour, and I get only 3 in a day. While sometimes, tha sound of Baton Rouge iz still there, tha passion for being promoted iz nowhere to be found, and I can't stand those who knock tha jigg sound. It's like, bitch, you prolly fake and ain't got money, anyway, so look who's talkin'! It makes me not take Louisiana music serious, anymore. All I do iz get pigeonholed to my damn radio show—not station—that has been defunct for tha past 16 months! If you can't figure out what I've been doin', or what's still active of mine, then you're not a fan of me; you're a loser and a loser! I'm not this mysterious secret! I apologize for wasting hundreds and over a thousand dollars on trying my best to promote tha unknown, through awards, booking, and everything I've done. I apologize for freezin' my ass off in zero-degree weather to create a passionate image of showin' an artist luv, where they've chosen to not appreciate and ignore what I've done. I apologize for bringing light to such shitheads on my tri-weekly playlists, to where I would make you feel as important as Billboard-charting artists in other genres and other countries! They would look at y'all as somethin' cool; meanwhile, tha “cool” would be future embarrassment for me. I also don't understand why nobody has even taken tha time or money to come and visit me; I don't understand what tha problem iz! I do wanna thank 2 Chainz & Gunplay for creating a withdrawal from tha ignoring disappointments of Louisiana for me. Just realizing that there's other music out there makes me think positive. I cannot tolerate ruining my health and aging quicker, just to chase people who don't appreciate me. One final word of advice before I go: PLEASE make sure you don't become a dad too early, especially in your teens/early 20's and while you're tryna build yourself as an artist!! Too many people who I've tried to promote get caught up in fatherhood, and they lose their passion as a full-time artist. It's like, are you a great dad and a shitty artist, or a great artist and a shitty dad? You can't be 100 in both worlds! With that bein' said, I will continue to be active in my OWN world; doin' what I LOVE doin'!! And, if you can't appreciate that, I could give a FUCK what you think about what I wanna do!! Most of y'all are self-centered, anyway! With only approximately $100 left to my name, tha hard-to-get Louisiana money ain't worth tha shit I have to go through to get it!  It's now time for me to get a REAL job!! My Rating: N/A


Overall: Other than tha random Scooter song, this a consistent mixtape! Too bad it has to come to an end! Unfortunately, we got no artists in Louisiana that have any “money,” so no money, no continuing! Dedication always iz required to push shit like this out! Aight, I gon stop talkin’; I gotta get back to doin’ what I’m doin’!
