Waddup, waddup?! Ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog, here, finna get into my 2,020th review, overall: OMG JT—it’s his birthday today!! Happy muthafuckin’ birthday, my boy!! Good-ole 32; exactly 19 dayz younger than what my late brother woulda been! This review iz for his latest release, You See Me (Da Mixtape), courtesy of 100 Percent Assholes Da Label (S/O to OMG Da Label, as well), lol! Now, I have to point out somethin’, though: Tha way I had to find this release wasn’t easy. Like, if I just typed in “OMG JT” in Google, it should give me tha You See Me (Da Mixtape) release. However, on Apple Music & tha social platforms, you have your name ID’d as “Omg_jt” & tha name of tha mixtape called You See Mee. Like, I would make sure you match tha correct way of spelling, like on tha cover. Also, “JT OMG Da Artist”? I’ono but tha platforms seemed easy-goin’ with signin’ off that ID of yours, rather than “OMG JT”. I alwayz thought it had to match? Anyway, I’m excited, after writin’ a letter, workin’ last night, makin’ a scratch-off lottery ticket birthday shout-out video fa you, outta $1,165.00 in scratch-offs, physical therapy & now, this live review! Can’t wait ta see how I gon celebrate your birthday with your latest release! However, I will be 100.00% confident, when it comes to this shit, ya heard me?! Also, 2morrow, May 18, 2022’ll mark 11 years since my very-first live review, back on May 18, 2011! So yeah, without further or do, let’s get inta this!! Start Tyme: 12:24 PM | End Tyme: 1:25 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “Intro”
Hope we set tha bar real high, here…! >>> It feels like it’s been a while since I heard some quality-soundin’ Louisiana music—225 to be exact!! “Smack him like I’m Will”; ouch, lol! Not feelin’ tha reference at 0:30 (“bow!”), which I have a feelin’ I’ll explain why a lil’ later. Needless ta say, you killin’ ‘em with this energy, here! From tha streetz to tha clubz; tha energy undeniable!! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
02. “Who Is You Playin’ Wit”
Looks like a nice way to provoke your opps! In my mindset, I’m so focused, I’m like, “I’ont see my opps, in my mind!” >>> Slammed pretty hard with tha beat, here!! Sounds like you flowin’ tha freestyled rhymes, here? Sounds nice with how you come through on this beat, nice & “tab-taking,” lol; good goin’! “Ooooooh”?! “Whooooooo”; nice way ta kick off tha hook & to say tha title part; good shit! “I done died & came back; this that rebirth”; awesome line. I got over havin’ damn COVID just 13 dayz ago!! Oh wait, I did hear a “oooooooh”; I wasn’t trippin’, lmao!! Couldn’t detect tha producer’s ID but definitely nice with tha way they supplied you with this track, right chea!! My Rating: 4.8
 
 
03. “Ain’t No Way, Boy”
I put tha comma, lol; I feel like this gon be anotha anthem. Please, please, lemme be right!! >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ start…! “We shmoke on that gas, watch me roll somethin’”; yeah! I’ono, you sound a lil’ loud in tha vocals, at tymes? Sounds a lil’ screechy? Was this mastered right? I must learn, next month!! Lemme make it a goal!! Anyway, it sounds like a catchy track. I just wish it was mastered & mixed betta. You & tha “tabs”; gotta luv when you have a fuzzed-out feelin’ from throwin’ somethin’ back—bizzack, that iz!! Hook pretty dope, as well as how you come through on tha 1st & 2nd verses, non-stop; good shit, despite tha mixin’/masterin’ issue I noticed. My Rating: 4.2
 
 
04. “I Wanna Know”
I’m expectin’ this to be for tha ladies? If so, I literally just want a club banga! >>> Sounds like a slow R&B vibe but reminds me of a vibe like DJ Tremon’s club event ending. “Emotionally, I’m distracted”; I feel ya. How about, around this month, it marks 22 years since music’s been playin’ in my head, non-stop! I can’t shut it off!! Distraction, distraction, distraction! As far as tha 1st verse, decent; reminds me of some1 I don’t wanna talk about, from B.R., with tha voice. With tha hook, it sounds like a simple lil’ vibe; nothin’ much ta say… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s ehh, okay, I guess? This does sound like it could be a song that would get a lil’ recognized by certain peeps, if tha cards are played right? Just tha way your voice blends with this slowness reminds me of somebody feelin’ like they a supastar. I know I feel like that at work but tha 100.00% energy must continue!! My Rating: 3.6
 
 
05. “Dropping”
*Confused look* >>> Wtf, lol? I was gon say, it sounds like that emo trap-type beat of Comethazine or somethin’ (“Hippopotamus”). However, tha hook was “dropping dick”! What?! I’m feelin’ how you express yourself with tha sound effects, for tha ladies; good shit! Lol, you & tha tabs, on tha 2nd verse; gotta luv what you crave for, successfully! Great 1st verse to back up tha 2nd verse, so tha both of ‘em go good together, ya feel me? Sounded too much like a mainstream/today’s generation-type track to freestyle off of. However, tha way you handled it was pretty dope; I’ll give it its props. My Rating: 3.7
 
 
06. [ID Removed]
Unfortunately, effective September 4, 2018, I cannot review one of tha artists on tha track, here. It’s bad enough tha other feature decided to make this collab happen, especially when I was tryna set up my own collab, back on September 10, 2020! With that bein’ said, you won’t be penalized, here, but I cannot count this toward my ratings, due to tha incident of one of tha features. Also, to tha other feature: When we gon turn tha fuck up?! It’s been almost five years since I first tried to link witchu in person, just to turn tha fuck up!! It’s tyme to level tha fuck up!! Ya feel me?! My Rating: N/A
 
 
07. “Love It Here”
In B.R.? I know you like to move fast, such as when I last saw you on December 11th of last year, with Flash—OMG Flash, that iz. I’m glad we got to link, even tho we still gotta follow up & turn up (hopefully for my birthday, next month)! I’m glad you were able to provide me with so much energy for my job; I’m gettin’ anotha $1.00 raise, this week! Exciting, right?! Thanx fa tha energy you’ve brought me!! >>> Just hearin’ that beat tag in tha beginning makes me not really anticipate this… You sound real dedicated to this ladies, here; not bad… I guess it sounds like one of your hotel nights, like last year, when you were in tha jacuzzi, fulla dem tabs! Yup; you anticipate tab-taking!! As far as tha 1st verse, I guess you lay it down fa tha ladies in a nice way. Not tha kinda track I’d go crazy for but best of luck wit catchin’ err-body else on; hope it pays off, at least… Hook aight; it’s just a hook but at least tha “love” iz “here”! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s good ta hear, even tho it’s just an okay track for me, overall. My Rating: 3.4
 
 
½tyme: From reviewin’ your Job Done release last year, I feel like you’re a lil’ bit of a gumbo pot, at tymes. There’s tymes I really love your tracks, while there’s tymes they’re not really for me. Overall, right now, you’re sittin’ at a nice 4.0 for tha average rating, currently; good shit…! Like I said, too bad I couldn’t review Track #06 but, whateva, I demand my respect & value over those that don’t put in tha work that I do! I’m slowly movin’ into doin’ things tha QC-type of way & I’ve alwayz felt like I’ve been a QC-type of person, via tha reviewz, over tha past 16 years. With that bein’ said, I gon continue to bring tha best quality outta err-body I wanna put my ears to—their music, that iz!!


08. “Fall Down (G-Mix)”
I’ono if I wanna anticipate this that much, due to how tha ID looks all sloppy lookin’ (“Fall down gmix”). Looks like some1 didn’t care to correct tha grammar on tha title but at least I did. Now, will I give it extra life, lol? >>> *Cringes* Even tho I love ’04, I can’t with tha jacked beats/“All Falls Down”. *Stops at 0:04* My Rating: 1.0
 
 
09. “Go Dere” feat. Kmac
Lookin’ at tha title & feature from one of my ‘90s babies, I’m anticipatin’ what y’all gon bring, here! Now, see, tha last track I reviewed only scored a 1.0 but I feel like tha energy gon reverse & “go” to tha maximum!! >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ beat start, here… I think you got a good lil’ part with tha hook, here; definitely dope wit your energy & flow! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds pretty dope; keep tha consistency comin’ along…! Hearin’ you on tha 2nd hook (mainly, 2nd ½) & it sounds like I’m losin’ trust? Not feelin’ you slightly slippin’ in that a-tune! Got Kmac on tha 2nd verse & he sounds good ta hear, here, “feelin’ like a scarecrow.” Yeah, “Just rolled a blunt”; gotta stay blunted out!! Keep holdin’ it down fa tha Rouge, Kmac! JT, you too! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
10. “Pressure (G-Mix)”
I have a feelin’ this gon be like tha “Falls Down” shit… >>> Not an instant kill but I’ll see what gon go down wit dis one… This ain’t tha kinda track I’d feel; too soft & soulful fa me ta enjoy, especially on this release! I’ono, I’m not gonna die fa this but decent job with tha rhymes… My Rating: 2.5
 
 
11. “Know Wat I’m Sayin’”
>>> Sounds a lil’ loud in tha mixin’/masterin’, here; a lil’ loud… Tha beat ain’t too bad, here, as it reminds me of somethin’ for tha streetz, at night. Sounds like a catchy lil’ hook, even tho I’ono how much I can feel this… As tha 1st verse was good/decent, tha 2nd verse str8, too… Just not feelin’ tha “money good” part ta kick off tha hook. You know how I am with tha “money” lines!! It’s like seein’ a staple at my job’s production floor! Ouch! My Rating: 3.1
 
 
12. [ID Removed]
Just like Track #06, unfortunately, I cannot review this, neither. My Rating: N/A
 
 
13. “I Gotta Go”
Looks like a rush deal, here, since you like to “move fast.” >>> A lil’ slow, here & not tha type of production I’d anticipate. It just reminds me of somethin’ from tha mainstream? Southern-wise. Sounds a lil’ rough with tha mixin’ & masterin’? Just sounds like a bunch of random flowin’, I guess? I like when tha beat gets quiet & you lay down some personal rhymes; nice lil’ addition to tha interest I have, here… My Rating: 2.6
 
 
14. “Check On Me” feat. Mazzi Supa
Iz this tha same Supa I’m thinkin’ or iz some1 else tryna be Supa? Hmm… I hate to tell you but seein’ tha ID as “check on me” (all lowercase), I feel like my anticipation level’s pretty low, just sayin’… >>> Ehh, a lil’ mainstreamish for tha beat start, here? “Waddup, La’Keith”? Doesn’t seem like it’d be his production type; sounds too mainstream-y & boring. Hearin’ tha 1st verse from this Supa—not tha same one I thought of—and he just rappin’, rappin’, rappin’… Ehh, him mentionin’ tha “money” shit on tha hook’s ehh but I guess I’d have to appreciate him more? Okay, here you come on tha 2nd verse, JT, soundin’ like you got a consistent flow & set of rhymes, here… “You talk about money? I’d prolly pull up…” Crazy how I still do a bunch of my shit for free?! It’s alwayz a blessing! Frfr! My Rating: 3.0
 
 
15. “Last One”
I’ono what y’all exactly mean by “Special Version” in tha ID but, for this bein’ tha actual “Last One” on this release, I wanna see—hear—what it gon sound like… >>> A random intro… Sounds like you finna bring a good lil’ street vibe fa B.R., here? Okay, at least this sounds betta ta end thangz off… Hearin’ you on tha verse & it’s good wit how you comin’ through wit your flow & shit; good shit… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty nice; I like how you represent for it. Hearin’ tha near-last minute of tha track & it’s really just an instrumental part. Umm…, I’ono how excited I’d say this iz but I’ll just leave it at anotha decent level, here. Lol, it randomly had a cold ending & cold ending to tha release; ouch… My Rating: 2.8
 
 
Overall: Seemed a lil’ mixed, overall; felt your energy in tha beginning, especially with how you utilized tha Baton Rouge style, at tymes, production-wise. I thought you woulda been workin’ a hell of a lot with La’Keith, since your other track, “Clappers”, with Johnny Hu$tle, topped my playlist on January 23, 2022 & had a whole month worth of a commercial series, earlier in January! However, it seemed like you grabbed a few beats from online & tried to run wit ‘em. Technically, I’d pay for tha quality, especially in today’s world. Like, who wants to spend buku money on studio tyme, recording, etc., just to rap off a jacked beat?! “All Falls [Fucking] Down”?! Ouch!! JT, you’re way better than that!! You know that?! I would stay a lil’ more prepared, in tha future; you don’t have to release so often. That’s why, I’m holdin’ off on my Autistic Stoner Rap, Vol. 2 & my Autistic Stoner Rap, Vol. 3, which Vol. 3 will be anotha trip to B.R.! Until then, I will learn betta at what I want to achieve & I want you ta do tha same thang! Keep up tha energy & I hope you have a dope-ass—still havin’, as we speak—dope-ass birthday, ya heard me?! I have to go into my full-tyme three hours early for a lil’ leadership class-type meeting. Talk about determination! Props, once again, fa givin’ me that burst of energy!!
