Reviewed on 10.31.2018 (Review #1,782)

Today iz Halloween, a lil’ after 5:30 & we dressed up as Percy Keith, on this Halloween! It’s really FrankieThaLuckyDog a.k.a. Frank Calhoune, here, you know, gave me tha name three years ago comin’ up, on this Friday, November 2^nd; you know what it iz! We finna do my 1,782^nd review, eva [live review]: Percy Keith, LNIC (Loyalty Naturally Instilled Corporation), and his Prepared For Launch CD that he just dropped! And, we finna launch our way up to tha top of tha [Jessup Rock] Mountain [Jessup, PA] and looka: it rainin’! Will we get a nice view? Who knows! We in for a live action, right now! I finna review dis! #80sBabiesInOur30s So, here we go! Prepared For Launch!!! Start Time: 5:51 PM | End Time: 7:25 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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Prepared For Launch

‘Bout ta climb dis mountain, ya heard me? And, we finna get inta dis! Prepared to “launch,” as we Prepared For Launch! >>> “No Wi-Fi,” here, Percy! Lol, it’s crazy how you’re, like, wantin’ ta “launch.” You “got tha weed,” got tha good shit! Gotta stay “strapped up” wit confidence! That’s crazy! Just hearin’ you say, “Prepare for launch,” it just makes me think that, ya heard me, just wantin’ ta succeed these goals, ya heard me? Just climbin’ up tha mountain, ya heard me? Just wantin’ ta succeed my goals at all times! Great job wit tha intro, ya heard me? My Rating: N/A

02. “Takeover” feat. Brown Gotti

[Listed as “B. Gotti”]. You know dat Brown Gotti, Tron Gotti, Fatt Albert-kinda thang, ya heard me? Hearin’ Brown Gotti, ya heard me? Just goin’ live wit it! “Takeover”! >>> I know we livin’ in—*drops phone*! That was a good way of randomly describing of hearin’ tha same kinda production from every artist, no matter where they from. It ehh, but, ya know what, even this kinda voiced effect, a lil’, I just feel like Percy can have anythang. But, for err-body else, this izn’t tha kinda shit that be different, on a different level… “Sleep in a weed sto,” Percy? It’s Percy!! I mean, yeah, if this was somebody else, like I said, I’ont thank I’d really feel it too-too much. But, I’m givin’ you tha opportunity because you can handle it. Percy fa life, ya heard me? Fa life, ya heard me?! Yeah, it’s all about bein’ “LNIC at all times!” Yeah, we about a lil’ more than halfway up, ya heard me? It’s pretty slippery, ya heard me? Remember: We up on a mountain, ya heard me? So, if we slide, we slide! Imagine if dis bitch had snow in it, ya heard me? Now, we got Brown Gotti, here… Like I said, not 100% hatin’; it just sounds like everyday music ta me… You know I don’t wanna hear dem “money” lines; get ‘em out!! It’s “0 Shit, Yes, Hoe Shit!” I guess this iz tha life of an autistic 30-year-old. I luv doin’ this shit, ya know? Just enjoyin’ yourself and this iz what you wanna do! He “run fa dat shit like [he] late for it!” That’s how ya gotta do it, Percy, ya heard me?! “Gotta run fa dat shit like [he] late for it,” ya heard me? Ya heard me?! Since it was on tha borderline-kinda tip that I just thank it sounds like everyday music, I’m not gon let it be a full fail… My Rating: 4.0

03. “Dreams Cost”

Looks like “dreams” right here, ya heard me? And, we finna just check out our “dreams,” right now! Gotta keep livin’ ‘em up! >>> Yeah, “Ready ta press tha record…” but we been recordin’, ya heard me? Shout out ta Hardbody on tha beat! I thank your voice effect and tha beat combination, it sounds like tha sneaky-catchy way for tha undaground ta sneak into tha mainstream & have their chance, ya heard me? Lol, “Be Kelly Rowland, while I Nelly on ya?!” It’s been 16 years since a “Dilemma”?! “All I thank about iz…;” 16 years?! Yeah, definitely past “dumb;” we “dumb” & crazy, ya heard me, but we not “dumb” & we don’t know what we talkin’ ‘bout, ya heard me? “4 Shit, No Hoe Shit,” ya heard me? Sounds like a catchy hook, like I was sayin’, ya heard me? Like, lost in some crazy, catchy zone, where you know you above tha regular person in this world, ya heard me? Just vibin’ out, I’m just vibin’ out… Just takin’ in all your rhymes…! Definitely real catchy for tha one that got away from tha undaground & snuck its way inta da mainstream, ya heard me? That’s what I consider this as. So, if this could be your only moment, like certain artists, ya heard me? Like, that quick moment, it might be this one; right now, ya heard me? Ewe, tha “Guns & Roses” ending; you said you were inspired by Nickelback with that, “Guns & Roses”. Remember, from five years ago, ya heard me, from tha Compliments Of Luca Brasi CD, ya heard me? A “Guns & Roses” lil’ extra ending; great job! My Rating: 4.9

04. “Stronger”

If I ain’t get ta hear certain songs at certain times, it’s because thangz been goin’ down, right now, ya heard me, and it’s pretty rough, ya heard me? So, I’m just tryna get through a day-to-day basis, ya heard me? I’ono what da next day gon be like, ya heard me? >>> It’s like you lost in a dream… that you just realize you’re on top of a mountain. Yeah, gotta give ‘em “more,” ya heard me? Now, this has, like, a Future beat-kinda flow, but I’m actually really likin’ it from Percy and I’m just sayin’ dat from tha heart, ya heard me? Percy got it! Just tha flow in it… It’s like cuttin’ ‘em up, ya heard me? It’s gettin’ windy, ya heard me? “Lady Luck roll my weed…;” “4 shit, no hoe shit, ya heard me?!” Surfin’ on top of da mountain, ya heard me? #80sBabiesInOur30s, ya heard me? It’s like you can jig to it, ya know? Just get zoned into how consistent you’re deliverin’ these rhymes, ya heard me? Just like a rollin’ cycle, seein’ tha cars pass, ya heard me? Gotta stay ducked-off, ya heard me? Yeah, gotta get it from da “trap,” ya heard me, Percy? It iz what it iz! Trap life, ya heard me? “Can’t be boxed in,” ya heard me? But, my non-boxed-inness iz really gettin’ me lookin’ like a puppet, ya heard me? A puppet, ya heard me?! A puppet, ya heard me?! Ya heardz me?!? Ya heardz me?!?! Ya hearz me?!?!? Just flowin’, like, more than 30 fps [really 29.97 fps, not 30], like, 60 – 120! Controllin’ tha frames-per-second, ya heard me? That’s tha flow & vibe I get off listenin’ ta this…! My Rating: 4.9

½time: We chompin’ on snacks, ya heard me? “4 Shit, No Hoe Shit,” ya heard me? It’s definitely gettin’ trippy, as it’s really gettin’ dark out! So far, tha CD’s at an average CD rating of a 4.6, ya heard me?! That’s what’s up! Ya know, only three songs in, so tha weighing iz just real different. So, Percy, continue dat A-Game, ya heard me? Like tha “A”: “4 Shit, No Hoe Shit,” ya heard me?

05. “Heavy Metal”

Say now, ya heard me? Shout out ta Dylan [my 14-year-old brother] for helpin’ out wit tha production, ya heard me? And, focusin’, learnin’ tha camera, ya heard me? Who woulda thought after all that ramblin’ I just said [in tha video], ya heard me, that it would be “Heavy Metal”? Percy bumpin’ dat “Heavy Metal”, ya heard me? >>> Lol, “so in it together,” baby! Oh, Percy wit tha “perk!” Perc with tha “perk!” Percy ate a “perk?” Perc ate a perk! “Perc Ate A Perk!” “Perc & A Perk” [I kept forgetting what I first said (“Perc with tha ‘Perk’!”), as my camera stopped recording, outta nowhere…]! That could be tha name of somethin’, ya heard me? “Perc & A Perk”! Yeah, just sounds like a powerful way of you evolved from jail. 34! 30-#80sBabiesInOur30s-“4-Shit-No-Hoe-Shit,” ya heard me? Get it? ‘80s babies—us in our 30’s: 30-4! “4 Shit, No Hoe Shit” and you’re 34, ya heard me? Figure out tha numberz, ya heard me? “Got cocaine, mixin’ hero…,” like, “H,” Percy? That’s that “Heavy Metal!” Almost thought it was a skit, right after, but you kickin’ that “Heavy Metal”, again! Just sounds like a Halloween night, ya heard me? And, that’s what this iz, right now, ya heard me? “Perc Ate A Perk!” “Perc & A Perk!” Shine da light on me, ya heard me? Real rocky like this rocky mountain, ya heard me? My Rating: 4.9

06. “David”

Let’s see where you’re goin’ wit tha Davey-Dave, ya heard me? *Almost loses phone inside mountain cracks…* This must be a crazy person if that just happened, ya heard me? Track #06: “Daviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid!!” …, ya heard me? >>> It’s like a nice, zoned-out beginning and I have no ceiling above my head but a rock, ya heard me? Killa on tha thang! Yeah, “more subtraction,” sadly; I really believe in it, Percy! See, it’s so cutthroat [describing my glowing-outside celeb presence but tha dark shadow behind tha scenes]! But, they play you like a puppet, like I was sayin’! When they play you like a puppet! Yeah, you know, “Beefin’ wit us iz like russian roulette,” you know? Definitely Percy, you know? They—They thank we just, like, random people ta play with! Fuck no!! Yeah, “tha nina already past puberty;” yeah, time flyin’ fa da nina! Yeah, it sounds pretty catchy…; just consistent wit tha rhymes, beat on point, ya heard me…? Yeah, we “already dyin’.” Think Doe-Doe was tellin’ me—my boy, Doe-Doe, was like, “You get one day closer to death.” You know, we gotta thank more positive than that, you know ‘cause it iz what it iz…! ‘Cause we livin’ in tha moment, right now, ya heard me? Love that I’m in tha middle of a cave, inside a mountain, right now, ya heard me? Yeah, “you slip, you die,” ya heard me? Gotta just keep workin’ yo intelligence! Definitely feel, like, your intelligence, here, Percy! Definitely a plus ta have all tha intelligence, like me, ya heard me? Whaa?! I bounce from tha mic to tha top of tha rock! My Rating: 4.7

07. “Thinking”

I’m already “Thinking” that this iz gonna be something interesting ‘cause look at me, I’m inside a mountain, high up in tha air! >>> Sounds like some really slow, trippy outside vibe… “All ‘bout thinking too much,” ya heard me? Yeah, “Textin’ da lean plug,” Percy? We linkin’ up soon again, ya heard me? “. . .!” You already know what it iz, ya heard me? Trippy liiiiiiiiife!! A catchy hook, ya heard me? Propellin’ yoself on tha 1^st verse, right chea, ya heard me? “Iceberg chest;” all about tha ice we got! We got dem glaciers in our bodies, ya heard me? Lol, “Like my FaceTime, like I’m constipated…”—that was me, yesterday, Percy, ya heard me?! And, I had all ice surroundin’ me, ya heard me? See how 2 & 2 combine, ya heard me? It iz what it iz! Yeah, “This gangsta life gets wicked,” ya heard me? Yeah, definitely catchy, ya know? And, crazy that you got this “Thinking” problem goin’ on, ya heard me? Yeah, I like that, “100, thank you, thug,” part in tha hook, ya heard me? Had ta buy dat bitch on iTunes, ya heard me? I ain’t downloadin’! Percy get my money, ya heard me? Ya know? Gotta get dat bag for Percy, ya heard me? Remember dat: “Gotta Get Dat Bag For Percy;” hashtag that, in tha future! Hashtag: #GottaGetDatBagToPercy, or #GottaGetDatBagForPercy; either or… “Monkey holdin’ down [yo] spine,” here… Just, like, a great perspective for tha Percy age…! Yeah, like, bein’ where you were at in Louisiana on September 4^th—think, it was a 4^th! It was a “4”! It was great! You know, you definitely kept it real wit tha Calhoune! My Rating: 4.6

08. “Keep It Real”
You already know Percy Keith keeps “it real,” 100% of tha time! Just like what I got underneath these pants, ya heard me? Look at dat! This what I got unda my pants, ya heard me? “100,” like Percy say! “100it!” Gots ta keep it 100—1000, ya heard me? >>> I’m definitely likin’ this vibe; you deliverin’ tha fast rhymes, ya heard me? “I’m lit, I’m 100it!” Lol, “Like food stamps…;” lol, all about dem “food stamps,” ya heard me?! “Cariño!” “Fulla dat loud,” Percy; great way ta kick off tha 1^st verse, ya heard me? And, definitely soundin’ like tha heatin’-dragon-kinda hook! “Hot as a summer…,” ya know that “southern summer,” and tha “flu symptoms.” Damn, Percy, you gotta be shittin’ me! “Tha pregnancy;” ya know what? I know err-body be havin’ they kids early. I’m still ridin’ solo, right now, ya heard me? Gotta just think of me and my career! I’m here for goals! Gotta keep it real ‘cause on tha real, ya heard me?! Yeah, they definitely showin’ you a lotta luv & hittin’ you now, Percy! Definitely a lotta cool, great music, right chea, ya heard me? Ya know, just climbin’ this mountain and thankin’ it was just 10 years ago, you know, a decade ago, you know, I was really stunned by tha Beat Flippa CD, Street Certified; definitely classic and here we are, 10 years later, on top of a mountain, ya heard me? In tha pitch-black dark…! And, you know, just jammin’ & vibin’ ta this, ya heard me? Percy, definitely thumbs up fa keepin’ tha #80sBabiesInOur30s goin’ wit this quality, right chea!
