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!!

reviewed on 3.16.2014 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01.
“Talk Much”
Self-produced,
here, fa tha intro track, I see… Let’s get into this… >>> Beat “intro”
sounds like an outta-nowhere/debut-single joint I’d hear from someone I haven’t
heard for tha 1st time. A repetitive hook, here; catchy… Tha 1st
verse sounds good wit your random rhymes. I hate that line: “Man, fuck a nigga;
I don’t owe shit.” People have came through wit that kinda perspective at me,
and it makes me look shitty, especially since I do so much fa peeps… Tha 2nd
verse sounds catchier; sounds like what you’re doin’ on a daily basis, though a
Migos flow. My Rating: 4.2
02.
“I Told You I Was Dumb”
More
self-produced music; lookin’ forward to hearin’! >>> Didn’t know you
were “19.” However, tha sound in tha beginning of this beat sounds like DJ
B-Real’s production for Bubba’s 2011 single, “Polo Everythang”; sounds pretty
similar, but this iz nice, too! Some good vibes of Baton Rouge… Here’s tha 1st verse,
wit you comin’ through wit some consistent, BR street-like rhymes; I’m feelin’
tha flow a lot! Great flow and consistency on tha 2nd verse, once
again! So, since you said you were “19,” and this iz an Early 2014 release, you
must be born in 1994? If so, I’m, like, tha Savage to you, as Savage iz to me
(six year differences). Feels odd for me to rep that position, but cool at tha
same time. My Rating: 4.5
03.
“Willy Wonka”
Not
a fan of tha title, but again, more self-produced music… >>> This beat
sounds pretty anticipatin’; sounds like good, internet-rap, and a catchy hook,
surprisingly. Catchy rhymes in tha 1st verse; lots of consistent rhymes!! Each song so far seems to have a good
source of consistency! Tha 2nd verse has a different side of
catchiness to it, as you’re tellin’ a story about “Mr. Willy Wonka;” nice, and
when you say, “He don’t like to talk much,” I think of myself with Asperger’s
Syndrome. My Rating: 4.3
04.
“226”
$hop
With Ken beat. >>> Gay beat tag in tha beginning; I hate when it’s a
song snippet or whateva. But, beat’s nice, just like your beats. Hearin’ you on
tha 1st verse, and it’s not bad, so far… Hearin’ tha hook, and it
sounds like some old No Limit-like shit wit tha “soulja; I thought I told ya.”
Catchy fa a BR perspective! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too; nice
that it’s only 2:30, too. I almost thought there was gonna be a 3rd
verse, but nice outro, too. Nice “Lil’ Ken” shout outs, but nah @ tha “money in
my pocket” shit; I don’t fuck wit “money.” My
Rating: 4.3
05.
“Answer For Ya”
Self-produced.
>>> No “dick-suckin’-tune” fa me, in 2014; really? Just skipped it after,
like, three seconds! My Rating: 1.0
06.
“Plottin’” Feat. Mista Cain
Boring-as-fuck
feature with Ken on tha beat… >>> Good street vibe, and wit Ken on tha
beat, I can see why tha vibe’s good. That boring Mista on tha 1st
verse, and smh: “Eva since they took my yungin, all I do iz get drunk;” low
self-esteem? I don’t get it… Thank God I neva lost anyone, currently! Though I
ear-dodge his lyrics, tha vibe fits, so it’s good; at least it ain’t auto-tune!
And, you’re back to normal on tha 2nd verse, and I’m likin’ tha ‘90s
bounce-like vocals (e.g., “you tha shit”)! Rhymes are decent, but good for tha
streetz. My Rating: 4.2
07.
“The Player’s Club”
A
Q-Red beat; how was that piss with him? I’m sure that’s what you had to do to
catch his attention, right? >>> Nice orgasm in tha beginning? Why does
this “need-to-take-a-piss-with-you-to-be-accepted” producer keep producing
R&B, all of a sudden? Even took Kellz’s track from back in tha day? Well,
we all know I can’t comment on tha production, so I’m just gonna move onto you
on tha 1st verse… Catchy flow; props fa bein’ “on Xanex,” lol. Good verse, overall. However, because of tha
hook and producer, I’m just wishin’ this would end, already! Hearin’ you on tha
2nd verse, and although you said, “Eat dat ham up,” neva say dat to B-Real! He’ll think
you’re callin’ him gay, and he’ll call you a faggot, in return! Neva forget 4/11…/13! Nice track, though tha hook—in a
Q-Red production—gets to me, like a diabetic eatin’ too much chocolate, ready
to die! My Rating: 3.7
08.
“Day 1 Niggaz” Feat. Lil’ Rob
Self-produced;
not a fan of this kinda title at all,
since no one fucks wit me wit my mixtape compilations and services. Also, as
far as me in person, I can’t get no one to help me out wit shit, so
technically, I have “niggaz-who-don’t-last-more-than-three-years” niggaz. Kinda
weird, to me, to have someone I knew all
my life… >>> Didn’t expect ta hear an East Coast-like style fa tha
beat, here; sounds okay, so far… Nice rhymes from you on tha 1st
verse, and yea, you confirmed it: “Born in ’94.” Tha hook’s kinda boring; like
I said, I can’t relate to it. I can’t imagine: “I’m still cool wit tha dude I
met in 2002.” My oldest connects are from ’05, and friends are as old as ’08. I
was 17 & 20, so it’s almost like “Day 1”’s literal, in your sense, if you
were in my shoes. Anyway, this Lil’ Rob dude sounds nice on tha 2nd
verse; catchy voice and rhymes! But, why tha 11 seconds of silence, at tha end?
I gotta fix up these files a lil’ bit, now, though most of tha tracks have no
silence. My Rating: 3.6
½time: So far, so good wit your
tracks; great production and lots of great tracks! Only one terrible track,
which screwed your average CD rating to only a 3.7, right now. Would’ve been a
4.1 if you only knew betta!
09.
Soulja Conversation (Interlude)
An
interlude, I see; lookin’ forward to hearin’! >>> “Magnolia Slim” on
tha phone, here? Was there even tha sayin’, “tha yo,” back before he died? Must
be a different version of him? I dunno, but nice interlude! I like how you’re
anticipatin’ tha “smoke” and shit! My
Rating: N/A
10.
“Crooked Youth”
Interestin’
title, with you on tha beat. >>> Real high anticipation for tha
beginning wit tha, “I’m in tha studio wit my boxers, ya heard me;” dumb shit!!
That’s what it’s about, though, ain’t tha “studio” always ‘pose to be colder?
Either way, catchy hook and this weird
“youth.” Tha 1st verse sounds good, too; lots of Juvenile “Ha”
influences and references, on tha end of tha lines! Though I’m not a fan of
rip-offs, I gotta give this a lotta props fa its catchiness! Tha 2nd
verse sounds good, too, and yea, you mentioned, “Girbauds;” I’m wearin’ ‘em, as
we speak! Whoo @ tha catchiness of this track, overall!! My Rating: 4.4
11.
“Ghetto Livin’” Feat. Que Tha Truth
You
produced it, so let’s go into y’all’s “ghetto,” here! >>> Sounds like
an East Coast-like beat, but at least it’s less than three minutes long! Ahh,
you gotta quit tha beat tags in all these songs, especially since they’re your tracks! “Now that I’m a lil’
older,” huh? I’m almost 26, and I don’t feel like I’m “a lil’ older,” yet;
still waitin’ on that job—tha next transition point in my life! Nineteen was
when I wrote/produced my 1st original track, “Who I Am”, on August
19, 2007! Anyway, nice rhymes from you, as you’re survivin’. I almost thought my mixtape compilation, Tha Louisiana Archives, was gonna not
survive, but luckily, some people believed in me, will be sendin’ money soon,
and yes, Thursday, I will have my 17th volume! Not feelin’ tha Lil’
Phat knockoff before tha 2nd verse… We got Que on tha 2nd
verse, here, comin’ through wit nice rhymes. A good voice, though I almost
wanna cringe for it nearly soundin’ like a Cain! My Rating: 4.0
12.
“Gwaupo”
Yucko, on tha title, produced
by you… >>> Bad intro, as your voice’s nearly changed, includin’ it
bein’ about “money.” No @ tha hook, as it has background vocals like that Ca$h
Out dude! Even tha lyrics are on that “cheesy shit, like” Ca$h Out! Hearin’ tha
1st verse, and how random that “Lil’ Issue just got out tha pen fa
some of dat murda shit;” fa real? Well, no Ca$h Out-like delivery on tha 1st
verse, here; it’s okay, though this track ain’t fa me, at all! Maybe, before
November 17, 2011, I would’ve enjoyed this, a lil’ bit, but life changes when
you get robbed! It’s almost like you get shot/survive and raped! “That 1-2-17
my birthday;” can’t connect what day that iz, lol? Anyway, not bad for tha 2nd
verse. My Rating: 2.3
13.
“OG Told Me” Feat. Lee Banks
Anotha
Vintage Rippah beat; let’s see… >>> Wasn’t sure what kinda beat to
expect wit tha vinyl scratch, in tha beginning… Sounds East Coast-y, but sounds
good wit your rhymes, on tha 1st verse. Props fa your “skin” fa “not bein’ vanilla;”
black power, at its finest! Not bad wit tha verse, and tha hook’s pretty nice.
Lee on tha 2nd verse, here; diggin’ his street vibe, and good
lyrics! Forget tha “I’m almost famous;” undaground ‘til tha end! I remember
when I was 19, and my aunt wanted to get my debut single on one of tha pop
stations. I immediately was like, “No…!” My
Rating: 3.9
14.
“Sample Play”
Keepin’
your tracks comin’ along with… >>> Not likin’ that repeatin’ “soul”
thing in tha beginning… Oh, “song…” Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse,
and I don’t think your fast flow works on this beat; sounds random. Tha hook’s
random, but good; damn, this 3:44? Prolly could’ve been a minute shorter, like
most of tha other jointz on here… No wonder why it’s long: this a pretty long
hook/pre-hook combination. Ehh, no need for “tha sample [to] play.” Hearin’ tha
2nd verse, and you’re already
no longer in “school”? Weird ‘cause around tha age of 18/19, I was finally
bein’ vocal with people—black people, too. Well, beginning May 28, 2003, at age
14, I was rappin’ 4-bar verses to people, though I thought they didn’t take me
serious, when they would ask me to rap 100’s of times… When I say, “didn’t take
me serious,” I note that I neva went to anyone’s house, neva hung out, etc.;
hard without a car, back in tha day! My
Rating: 3.1
15.
“The Vintage”
Everythang
“vintage,” like Stevie Ryan, here… >>> Nice “shit yeah” in tha
beginning… Beat sounds like some older-styled southern music… Even “fuckin’” at
19, too? Lots of rhymes on this 1st verse, too; a lil’ catchy—just a
lil’… Long verse, though—oh wait, I
already heard this, back on 31st Deedy’s Street Lights: Episode 2, not too long ago. I feel a lil’ betta
than my original 3.7 rating, though. My
Current Rating: 3.9
16.
Outro
Dot…dot…dot…
>>> Soulja Slim, again? Sounds like a nice sample… Ending your CD wit
tha beat tag… *Yawn* My Rating: N/A
Overall: Wow, time flew with this
one! I enjoyed reviewin’ this! A few doozies that cost tha average CD rating to
drop, but for tha most part, you’re a good rapper/producer; one-man-bandin’ it
like me! Keep up tha great, solo work!
