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 or have auto-tune
in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Nu$$ie 2 Real
Listening right now on my music Myspace page's comments (as Jimmy left me it at 12:49 AM today—11:49 PM on 7/13/08 his time). Tha player looks real dope. Wanna hear tha 25 anticipating seconds of what Nu$$ie has to say!!!!! >>> It felt like it was short but I guess it wasn't since Dee-1's intro was like a few seconds longer on tha last one. I like it. Will prolly be replaying tha intro a lot when I listen to tha mixtape again. My Rating: N/A
02. Nu$$ie Feat. Diablo "Shakedown"
Looks familiar. Whatever this iz I'm definitely dying on hearing/re-hearing it!!! >>> It sounds very good coming outta my stereo so props on tha quality & this player. Yeah heard this. Barely remember so this iz good. Glad you wanna "swim in millions / you're tired of grands." I feel tha same way when it comes to tha scratch-offs. Yeah definitely feelin' tha Yung Joc sample from "Zoom" in tha hook. Great way to start it off. Both Nu$$ie and Diablo did they thang. Now before I rate it, I gotta check to see if I reviewed it b4 and what I rated it previously. This iz to prevent me from rating it way off… Okay just checked. I was gonna rate it 4.1 but good thing I checked to make sure. I'm gonna stick wit tha original rating I gave it, 4.3. My Rating: 4.3
03. A-Mar & Dyl Feat. Max Minelli & VL Mike "To The Max (Remix)"
I didn't look at tha ID yet. I just noticed that it was long and that it was 5 minutes, 26 seconds. I can TELL it's "To The Max (Remix)". *Checks ID* Yup, I knew it! I guess that's Error No. 1 on tha title since it's tha remix. Yes, it's a BIG difference when VL Mike (R.I.P.) iz on it! Originally, I got tha original version February 18, 2008 and premiered it that night (by pushing 2 songs, Gorilla Zoe Feat. Gucci Mane "Waddle" and Wiz Khalifa "Say Yeah", off 'til tha next dayz) due to anticipation without waiting. At first I thought it was good but a lil' too slow and somewhat plain. Tha remix, which I got 2 months and 1 week later, had a lil' flava added to it thanx to VL Mike. Once again, I always feel sorry for Jimmy and what happened to tha "To The Max (Remix)" video. It's like you got Jimmy The DJ, a VERY SPECIAL person. Then you got 4 TIGHT rappers from Louisiana, A-Mar, Dyl, Max Minelli & VL Mike. You then got tha lovely scenes of Louisiana. I can't believe it was delayed a few times and that VL Mike had to get killed (WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!). Too bad Max Minelli was a lil' too busy and that there was bad weather on April 27th. But don't worry, I'm ANTICIPATED for that new A-Mar & Dyl song/video wit Nu$$ie (which iz untitled and TBA on all tha dates for it). And yes, it's MY review so we're gonna have a moment of silence for VL Mike before I press play! *SHUTS AIR CONDITION OFF FOR DEAD SILENCE*

And for those reading, check out tha R.I.P. VL Mike video I made 2 months ago for him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bnHi41kK0w.
Now
to tha review: >>> Good thing this was put as No. 3 on this mixtape
'cause it's another great opening track for this mixtape! This has been gettin'
a whole lot of luv from me on Youtube as a ton of people ask me for tha mp3 (as
tha original iz featured as tha "Song Of Tha Month" for my
"Favorite Rap and R&B Songs of Febraury 2008" video and this
remix iz featured in my "Favorite Rap and R&B Songs of April
2008" video). Tha hook of course iz tight and Dyl did his thang on tha 1st
verse. Max Minelli iz a beast on his verse (tha 2nd one). I always love tha
line where he says "you know how I do it,--*sound effect of a seal
breaking*--fresh out tha plastic seal!" No offense to Lil' Boosie but when
I hear A-Mar's voice, I feel like he's more able for tha voice than Lil'
Boosie. I hear a lot more of A-Mar from that voice so that's what I expect and
I like it. Great verse by A-Mar as usual (tha 3rd verse). VL Mike did his
thang. I have a question: At 4:06, it sounds like VL Mike iz refering to Jimmy
The DJ… Iz that true? He says "Minelli & Jimmy holla'd, told ya'll I
was tha one to get." Oh yeah can't also forget about sayin' this: this
was VL Mike's last verse eva recorded. Now PEOPLE KNOW TO HOLLA AT A-Mar
& Dyl for that!! That's what I said!! My Current Rating: 4.5
04. Kevin Gates Feat. Lil' Boosie "Get In The Way (Remix)"
Lol… Now this says "remix". Kevin Gates actually wrote me on June 10th saying "how can I get on that mixtape?" I gave him tha info to get onto it and what do you know… he's on this one!! Not sure if that was planned before June 10th but either way, you know my anticipation iz sky-high for Kevin Gates and Lil' Boosie!!! >>> Oh yeah, first brand spankin' new song for me!! Hook sounds like a Reggae/Elephant Man type of hook… weird… Oh him coming on tha 1st verse makes me notice that voice!! I ranked "Game In Stiches" featuring Yung Sicka my favorite song on Big Jay's "Pyrex Radio Vol. 4: From Crumbz 2 Brickz" mixtape. I'm glad you "might as well sag your pants." I think "saggin'" iz a cool thing. I actually dislike it on me sometimes 'cause either my pants fall all off (yeah, I'll show my ass, lol) or it's way too tight. Definitely felt Kevin Gates's verse and Lil' Boosie's was REAL TIGHT. Lol @ me talkin' about Boosie on tha "To The Max (Remix)" and all of a sudden, he's on tha next joint (this) (especially after A-Mar, lol—I think that happened on tha last "Gangsta Gumbo" too, lol). 3rd verse was okay. Real glad you ended tha song wit tha "saggin'" part again. Minus tha Reggae sounding, this was tight. My Rating: 4.3
05. Lil' Josh & Ernest Feat. Hurricane Chris "Jigga Juice (Remix)"
I'm in tha mood to do this so I'm gonna do it… *BLIND REVIEW*!! I'm NOT lookin' at No. 5 while it plays so I know no info of it 'til it ends!! Let's see what happens!! >>> OMG *passes out and laughs*!! This song. Ha ha ha!! I had to look at it now 'cause I know what it iz. Gonna have to redo tha *BLIND REVIEW* later on here. So was this tha exclusive Hurricane Chris song/feature (as mentioned a very long time ago)? If so, I'll always remember where it came from first: Jimmy The DJ's mouth (not Music Choice Rap or Hot 97 in New York)! MTV Jams ain't got this yet… What are they doin'? Glad it's gettin' some mainstreamness out in tha world. I like how it sounds real fast and I always like tha "and like a Power Ranger, I'm 'bout to power up. I'm 'bout to transform…" Oh yeah, Music Choice Hip-Hop And R&B got this like last week and it censors "retarded." SMH… I like tha part "flyer than a kite / ridin' like a bike" that Hurricane Chris said (and tha way he said it). And speakin' of a title wit "juice" in it, I like titles wit "juice" in them 'cause earlier this year, starting February 19, 2008, I got real cool wit this dude Juice from my college. He had premiered some new music at times when I would hang out wit him (one being tha HOTTEST/HARDEST/BEST song/underground song/Rap song of 2008: "Bossman" by Joey Jihad & Meek Mill that I have played over 500 times (record setting and still goin')). I even discovered a song on tha Word Of South forum called "Get Rite Juice" by Kane & Abel Feat. 5th Ward Weebie & PNC 4 months ago. None of my sources (MTV, MTV2, MTV Jams, New York's Hot 97, CT's Hot 93.7 and Music Choice are my Urban sources) got that song and it was REAL TIGHT (still iz). I actually like it a WHOLE LOT better than "Jigga Juice". My Rating: 4.1
06. Dee-1 "I Hate Money"
I thought it said "One Man Army" for a sec. Then I saw Dee-1 and "Rebirth" clicked in for a sec. It's this (good). Got a spin on Alex McConduit's "The Hip-Hop Spot with Alex McConduit" show back on May 28, 2008 when Dee-1 visited tha show (along wit a bunch other songs of Dee-1's—YES, IF ANYONE's READING THIS, HOLLA AT Alex McConduit if you're in Louisiana!! His shows are broadcasted from New Orleans, LA and they broadcast online at http://www.crescentcityradio.com and you could be on tha show!!! Even I got a spin on his boy Big Money Matt's "The Tuesday Night Throwdown" show on July 1st (my song "Who I Am")). Anyway, time for another listen to this INTERESTING song of Dee-1's. Even when Dee-1 was on tha show, he was like "my father iz a workaholic." Well Dee-1, my dad iz tha same way. That's why he's very unreliable about doing things for me (mainly on time) as he works 2 jobs (3 in tha Summer) and works like 12 hours a day at least. I think we need to stick this song into my dad's ears and make him put his family (ESPECIALLY his kids like me) over money!!! >>> Oh yeah Dee-1, congrats on tha 2,500+ copies sold of your "I Am Who I Am" mixtape! Oh and this sounds great on here! Great pick for this mixtape! Great beat, very good lyrics and great flowing too! That whole 1st verse was explained on tha interview Dee-1 had wit Alex McConduit when he went to Alex's show (which I ripped tha WHOLE interview; 1 hour and 7 and a ½ minutes long)! I hear now that you talked about your dad in tha 2nd verse. I also heard your cousin got locked up before you talked about your dad. Really, why tha fuck would anyone steal money? I feel great wit tha money I have. I have like $600 right now and it'll take me like a ½ year to get rid of it. Most of tha time when it's Christmas, I have like no money left (mainly 'cause my birthday iz June 21st). *Checks for rating* I gave it a 4.3 but I feel it needs to have a higher rating. My Current Rating: 4.6
07. C-Murder Feat. Young Ready "Cock, Aim, Shoot"
Wow I'm 53 minutes into tha review and I only reviewed 6 songs so far, lol. That's good 'cause Jimmy The DJ needs EVERY WORD and EVERY SECOND of me for this (as well as tha artists on here)! Speaking of Alex McConduit's show, when tha Chopper City Boyz came thru (who Jimmy and I talked to as well) on July 2, 2008 (R.I.P. to VL Mike again), an hour before they came thru, C-Murder called in and had an interview on tha phone for 7 minutes and 17 seconds (I have it ripped). It was great, as well as tha Chopper City Boyz in tha studio! Oh and you know I have anticipation drippin' off my hands for this right here! Its got Young Ready on it (FREE Young Ready ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and C-Murder doesn't play games so DEFINITELY "gangsta" wit that title for this "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2" (LUCKY No. 7)!!! >>> I so didn't expect that West Coast type of beat/feel. Really feelin' that and tha hook! OMG Young Ready iz on FUCKIN' FIRE on tha 1st verse!!!!! Last "Gangsta Gumbo" CD, B-Raw & Gutta had tha 7th joint on there (which was my favorite on a 1st listen). This iz just as good!! I can see Music Choice Rap playin' this. I hope they don't ignore it. C'mon, it's a C-Murder joint. And C-Murder did his thang on tha 2nd verse! Yeah C-Murder, "tha N.O. in tha house!!" Well I guess Jimmy The DJ puts a REAL HOT joint at No. 7 on tha CD on purpose 'cause he did it again! Currently my favorite on this mixtape (can it last?)! My Rating: 4.8
08. Max Minelli "My Boi"
Another person from tha mixtape cover!! Lol!! Who didn't get played yet that was on tha cover… *checks*… Everyone of them got played on here already! Good way to fire up tha mixtape! Not sure if I heard before, but you know I gotta hear Max!! And I had to eat somethin' real quick, so I took a few minutes of a break. I only ate 3 oreos. I would've had more but I really wanna get back into this review! >>> Good start. Yeah, Max Minelli iz "my boi." Yeah heard this but glad it's on here too 'cause it sounds good on this mixtape! Yeah Max, you're "gonna get a nice check back." Tha whole song sounds good, especially tha 2nd verse. Real tight 2nd verse. Speaking of gettin' cake, I'm gonna start chargin' people (mainly people I don't know) $10 for a review that I would do for them. Sounds like it will be a good start for me. *Checks for rating* I thought for a sec this was on "The Remedy", but no, Jimmy The DJ went a better route and chose a joint that was featured on "Max Pain 2 (The Rise Of Max Pain)". Good job. I'm gonna keep tha rating I had originally, 4.3. Oh and once again, I thank Max Minelli so much for writing back to me on Myspace a month and a ½ ago when I sent him my review for his "The Remedy" CD. He really liked it. My Rating: 4.3
09. One-i & Jayroc Feat. Lil' Cali "Big Deal"
Okay my boy One-i and his boy Jayroc and Lil' Cali on this. Not sure if I know it, but we'll see what comes outta it. >>> Great start. Love that beat. Don't think I heard. It's hella tight!! Real "white rap" right here (unlike fake wiggers that randomly roam on Youtube and that live up where I live in shitty-ass Northeast PA). 2nd verse sounds like Nu$ie a lil'. I liked that "yeehhhan!!!" (or howeva you spell it) at tha end of tha verse (imitating a car noise). 3rd verse from One-i was great too. Very good joint for somethin' I had no anticipation for!! My Rating: 4.6
10. The Black Kadafi "Tin Man"
Ooh first one that's a 100% newbie! It took me up to No. 10 to hear somebody new so that means I discovered a WHOLE LOT since "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1"!! This looks interesting and if I'm gonna take a guess, he's tryin' to be tha "tin man" by shittin' on everyone else when it comes to rappin'/trappin'? Just a guess, but I'll find out now wit anticipation! >>> Lol @ "pussy scarecrow." Good start so far. Gettin' interested in hearing more! Okay I was wrong about guessin' tha title's definition. Good hook tho. Definitely like it!! Yes this shit iz hard and I like this shit. Tha beat iz nice and dark and just tha new sound for me iz great. Great 1st listen! I'll make sure I'll always play it whenever I get tha chance!! My Rating: 4.4
11. Big Gill (of Already Ent.) Feat. Sam I Am & Street Official "Jack Rabbit"
I'm gonna like it by tha looks of tha ID and title!! >>> Lol @ tha "bad habits" only 'cause that's like Big Money Matt & Alex McConduit's favorite thing to say on their shows: "BAD HABITS!!!" Sounds good. This iz tha 2nd time I'm hearin' Sam I Am on somethin' and once again he's aceing it!! Tha 1st joint I heard from him was "Like Dat" from tha "Pyrex Radio Vol. 4: From Crumbz 2 Brickz" mixtape. He's got a nice Bone Crusher type of feel! It's like where Bone Crusher left off, so I'm glad he picked up Bone Crusher's crown and followed his path. Okay I hear someone different on tha 3rd verse. That must be Street Official I'm guessing. I guess tha " & " symbol didn't come out in tha ID on tha Dat Piff player (if it was labeled wit that symbol instead of tha word "and"). Not bad, but Sam I Am of course made this real hot. Good feel once again on tha beat and tha hook! My Rating: 4.2
12. Nu$$ie Speaks
29 second skit. I didn't look at who was doin' it, but I'm gonna guess Jimmy The DJ 'cause of him bein' No. 12 on tha "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1" as well! I HOPE IT'S JIMMY THE DJ!!! *Checks ID* Nope it's Nu$$ie again. Love skits (especially from Louisiana people) so let's hear Nu$$ie again!! >>> Good job on that info! That's right "The Champ Iz Here" iz out now and here's my review for it: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...ogID=398001752 My Rating: N/A
½time: Perfect so far! I love every single joint and I hope it keeps up! Now somethin' I've been really anticipating… I mentioned it in tha beginning… my $20 scratch-off I bought earlier! I didn't even look at what number tha ticket was, so lemme see it… I'm gonna guess it's No. 009 for some reason. *Checks* … Nope, it was No. 027 (lol @ tha Lil' Wayne birthday (9 as my guess, 27 for tha real number)). That means this iz tha 3rd ticket in tha roll of $20 tickets (I bought a Monopoly). Very high anticipation and I don't think I'm gonna win (lol) 'cause this mixtape iz OFF THA CHAIN (sometimes if I'm havin' a bad day wit tha music business or music itself and/or people I talk to, then I think I have luck wit lottery tickets). Here I go scratchin' it! *$tart$ $cratchin'!!!* … No bonus (shit)… Shit, I needed to match a 4, 18, 8, 38, 27 or a 9 and I got a 37 (thinkin' I won)! Aight I'm ½ way through and nothin' yet… *Sigh* Only 5 numbers left… Figures, I was right. I lost. Well, at least there's this HOT mixtape! At least somethin' iz RIGHT right now (tha mixtape). It would've been a whole lot of fun writing that I won in this review, but whateva. It's No. 13 on tha mixtape so now I finna get into it!!
13. Nu$$ie Feat. Skull Duggrey, Bro Bro & Diablo "Dumb Way 2"
No error here. In fact, there's an error on "The Champ Iz Here" since it says "Dumway 2" (without tha "b" and tha spacing). Gonna re-hear and get another good feeling! >>> Oh yeah forgot tha original was on "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1". Good way to have tha sequel on here! Nu$$ie came thru HARD wit all those "*insert words here* in this biiitch!" lines!!! This joint must be goin' crazy in Louisiana! For any song that makes anyone "go dumb", you know it gon knock HARD in Louisiana! This definitely stays consistant all tha way 'round. *Compares ratings* Originally had a 4.0 rating. I feel a lil' better for this so a lil' boost iz gonna come outta me. My Rating: 4.2
14. Konfo Feat. Pikasso "Let 'Em Lay"
Another brand new one for me. Let's see if it's as good as "Tin Man"! >>> A lil' gangsta wit tha "spill my drink, tha trigger'll go" line. I like that line on tha "gangsta" tip but that won't be me in any way at all in real life. That's not an error on tha ID iz it? Only 'cause he's sayin' "confidence" (where it could be "Konfodence" as his name--EDIT: it's not an error). But this was tight. Good beat but I can't say that I love it already. My Rating: 3.9
15. B-Raw "Nutcase"
Gave B-Raw feedback on his Myspace when he first posted this. Now I can't wait to give it tha official review! I'm showin' a lot of luv to my dawg B-Raw by helpin' him out. I created a Youtube page for him on my birthday this year and wheneva he sends me video clips of him, I'll make a music video for him (I have a feeling it'll be this song and I didn't even re-hear it yet, but that's just a future guess). Well he's teamin' up wit Gutta again so I'm expectin' this song to act a "nut case"!!! >>> Tha fade in part kinda confused me but now here we go wit that BANGIN' BEAT (like tha one in "Parking Lot 2 Picture Booth")!!! Good it's not fuckin' 3 minutes (like most jointz on here)! It's 4 minutes, 3 seconds!! Tha hook iz too tight (wit that "can't give me a Tylenol" line). Tha 1st verse was REAL! Tight!! It's 8:10 PM right now (Jimmy knows what that represents)! Perfect timing 'cause of this HOT joint!! I like tha "Savage water" line. WHY IZ IT ENDING?!? Gonna tie tha rating wit that other song (tha C-Murder/Young Ready one) I rated tha best. We'll see who wins at tha end! My Rating: 4.8
16. JD Killa "N.O."
We're at No. 16 (tha one I have a lot of faith for) and I heard tha first millisecond of it. It was tha "Dey Know" beat. Without lookin' at tha ID, I'm gonna guess this iz "D.E.E.1.W.I.L.L.N.O.T.L.O.S.E." If it iz, those songs I rated 4.8 might not have a chance anymore… Uh oh!! *Checks ID* I'm WRONG, lol!! It's JD Killa (who I think iz supposed to holla at me in tha future). BTW, tha "Red Bandana" joint was tight. I know I didn't rate it at least a 4.0 rating on my review but I do love it. That was only a 1st listen. We'll see how he does on this GREAT jacked beat in 2.5 minutes! >>> He said "Crescent City." That's REALLY watz good! Shout out to Alex McConduit and Crescent City Radio & Big Boot Radio! 1st verse was pretty good but I do love tha way tha hook iz "N.O.'d"! Yeah I agree, you are "dat nigga" (BTW, I didn't say tha "n" word. I only quoted it to agree wit what JD Killa said). Lol @ you "droppin' your nuts on your sister." Good job on that boi! You passed my test! My Rating: 4.4
17. Baby L's "Pop It Off"
I think I'm readin' tha ID right… Baby L's? Sounds right (since an "l" iz a blunt (lol @ tha way I wrote tha letter; it looks like one, lol). It says "Baby L" on tha CD but "Baby L's" on his Myspace/Dat Piff player. Can't say it's an error now, but let's see how this gon pop off in tha short 2 minutes, 17 seconds! >>> Good start. I was right about tha name. They sound like a mix of random underground internet rappers mixed wit Curren$y. I like tha "dawg" parts (I always really like when rappers say "dawg"). "Push weight faster than a pipe line." That was a nice line! As soon as I was slowly gettin' more into it, it ended. Too short. My Rating: 4.1
18. Jeanisis Model Ms. Juicci
A model on here. Let's hear what he/she has to say. >>> It's a girl. She sounded hot, especially wit that echoing. My Rating: N/A
19. Lil' Doonie Feat. K-9 "Yo Swagger"
Aight lemme try this again. I'm NOT lookin' at tha ID. I see that it's 4 minutes flat but that's it. Hope it's HOT and I HOPE I don't know it! *BLIND REVIEW* >>> Another failed attempt at a *BLIND REVIEW*, lol! It unexpectically iz this so my heart iz racing (in a good way) a lil' 'cause it's Doonie!! That's Error No. 2 'cause it's Lil' Doonie (not just Doonie). No offense, but this had its time on my playlist. "To The Max (Remix)" also had its time due to video change-up and "Priceless (Remix)" had its time due to how long I've had it and new single that's pushin', "Rebirth". Anyway, my playlist has been not able to stable right (due to I haven't been goin' anywhere at all due to I'm not in college right now) so it's very hard to give "quality spins" out on my playlist. This actually was tha official last "lunch song" I played at Lackawanna college (on April 28, 2008). A "lunch song" happens when I eat my lunch at tha college. While I'm eating, I put a song on repeat while I eat. This iz to prevent me from eating & playing wit my iPod at tha same time (so it doesn't get dirty). But I had to drop a lot of songs I had gotten in tha Winter and tha Spring in order for newer ones to come in. Don't worry tho Doonie. Within tha time I was playin' "Yo Swagger", I beasted on it (as I gave it at least 70 spins on my iPod so fast) and it hit No. 1 on my Top 10 Countdown a few times in May. Also, I featured this joint in my "Favorite Rap and R&B Songs of April 2008" video. On wit tha song: I do like how Doonie said "tha black 'bauds saggin'." I'm rockin' a red/yellow/black/blue polo wit blue girbaud shorts that have red straps and white letters. Either way, any song about "swag" iz always gon be real tight and Doonie has a classic street anthem on his hands right here. Tha beat iz real tight and Doonie, your "under 18" deep voice pays off. I'm gonna keep tha original rating I had for it. My Current Rating: 4.7
Intermission: Music Choice Rap just got a new C-Murder joint, lol (speaking of which). They didn't get tha TIGHT JOINT on this mixtape but they got tha joint "So Fresh" featuring Detroit.
20. Sleep Feat. Big Gill, Kuale Boy, Dre Deuce & Payback "Watch Me Maneuver"
Aight I'm gonna keep doin' this until it works. Here goes Attempt No. 3 at tha *BLIND REVIEW*! Not lookin' at tha ID as I get ready to play this joint! >>> Okay I don't know it (yes) and it sounds like a fast beat! Vocals sound kinda quiet (like it was for tha females). Okay I hear a certain sound comin' from tha beat. I like that. It sounds like a game show sound! Lol @ "not tha octopus." I guess you're strong to be up "3 dayz straight" and "don't need no rest." I'm tryin' to stay up for 24 hours straight for tha 1st time, but it ain't workin'. Lemme guess, this joint iz called "Maneuver"? Well, tha *BLIND REVIEW* worked but I think this iz my least rated song so far. Tha 2nd verse was good but it didn't get me in tha special mood like most of tha other songs did. I don't know if it was because of me not knowing who it was, but I don't think it was that. I still like this tho. My Rating: 3.6
EDIT: Time to check tha ID. Let's see it… *Checks ID* … Oh I was 1/3 right about tha title and it wound up being this: Sleep Feat. Big Gill, Kliale Boy, Dre Deuse & Payback "Watch Me Maneuver". Izn't his name Sleepy and that spelling looks weird for Dre Deuse (then again, that spelling iz prolly right--EDIT: I fixed tha spelling tha way it should look 'cause tha Dat Piff player looked all stupid (I bolded what it looked like when I first saw it)).
21. Lil' Yella Feat. Lil' Boosie "Chainz"
I heard Lil' Yella once or twice (thanx to DeTrane) but now here comes tha anticipation!! Definitely high anticipation on tha collaboration!! >>> Lil' Yella sounds good and that beat iz tha usual good sound. Yeah "make it rain diamonds." That's different and I like it. Ooh look DJ Scotty K Feat. Knockhopper "Goodnight Tonight" just came on Music Choice Dance!!! This joint must be real lucky then if it can lure that song out (which came out last October, neva lost any quality wit me and scored over 400 spins wit me)!! VERY GOOD JOB!! REALLY LOOKIN' FORWARD to tha rest of this, including tha Lil' Boosie joint (oh now that that's playin' on Music Choice Dance, it feels like I'm typing 100 words per minute unlike my usual 94 words per minute)! Lil' Boosie did his thang and I definitely like this collabo!! Great job and tha hook just gets you in tha mood for Louisiana Rap music!! My Rating: 4.2
22. DJ Southpaw & Rackley "No Better Than This"
Looks like Jimmy The DJ retreated for a sec and let DJ Southpaw on. Not sure what to expect. Maybe I'll be shocked! >>> Almost thought that was "I'm 'Bout Money" beat in tha beginning but it's not. I like tha beat so far. Tha vocals definitely sound like someone randomly online. That hook iz real catchy. This sounds nice. Definitely good underground music right here. My Rating: 4.1
EDIT: Just to tell you, I love this one now! My rating could've been at least 0.5 points higher!!
23. Nu$$ie "Outro"
It's over? Let's see what Nu$$ie's gotta say… >>> Holy shit how did I not have any anticipation for this? CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why? 'Cause Nu$$ie shouted me out! DEFINITELY 'preciate that to tha FULLEST!!!!! I knew he was gonna do that (from a while back) but I didn't remember when I was reviewing this 'til I started playin' this outro. I remembered. BTW, tha beginning of this outro sounded good 'cause it sounded like you were rappin'. Good info and very good job wit mentioning me! Also gotta mention a quote I made up for myself: "I may be from Long Island, NY and I may live in Northeast PA, but my heart, especially for tha music bu$ine$$, lives in… Louisiana!" My Rating: N/A
24. Nu$$ie Feat. Savage "They Hate My"
It's NOT OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I see a No. 25 song also so we'll see what that iz! LOVE THIS one so expect at least a 4.8 rating!!! >>> "Savage on tha beat!" That beat iz TOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKIN' HOT!!! That hook iz TOOO HOT!!! People just hatin' on Nu$$ie and it's fuckin' gay how there's haterz. Trust me, people from my college hate on me (especially when we're out of college). They think "oh because Frankie doesn't play a sport, he ain't nothin'." So yeah, definitely feelin' this (especially in my case). Wow I'm 3 WHOPPING HOURS into this review!!! Sorry Dee-1, but you lost tha record for longest review (I don't think you should be too upset since it's ya boy Jimmy that broke it and that you're on here anyway). One thing I LOVE about this Savage beat iz that it's CONSISTANTLY REPETITIVE and doesn't get boring! Nu$$ie + this beat = just as good as tha $500 scratch-off winner I got on June 23, 2008! Great rhymes, flowin' and tha beat! Nu$$ie takes anything and does a track tha RIGHT (or should I say tha DUMB) WAY!!! My Current Rating: 4.8
25. Dee-1 Feat. Mal, Tyrel & The Rebirth Brass Band "Rebirth"
It's either a Nu$ie or Dee-1 song 'cause I might've peeked when I was lookin' to see how many tracks were left. Gonna look at tha ID… *Checks ID* … Oh it's Dee-1 and tha "Rebirth" song along wit tha crew!! Great ending song!! *Goes and gets dinner, fishsticks that I'm not alergic to that don't give me flem*… Such a New Orleans anthem right here! >>> That's cool that your grandpa "has a pair of girbauds." I just love that band in this and this joint iz just crazy! Can't wait for it to really pop off on that promotion tip!! Great verses and great joint! Can't wait for all tha moments (especially wit me) to pop off wit this joint! My Current Rating: 4.6
Overall: End Time: 9:19 PM. It took me 3 hours and 14 minutes to review this right here (mainly 'cause I pretty much put my all into every track/skit on here). A huge improvement from "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1" and DEFINITELY a classic right here!!! I'm glad to have my name featured in it and I must say that all day, err-day, Louisiana >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lackawanna College. I say that 'cause look at this: Nu$$ie, who I don't even know in person and NEVA talked to online/on tha phone (I talk to his manager A1 a lot tho), shouted me out, while a few of tha so called "spick-ass-fags" at my college who I've talked to in person at once won't even write me back when I write them. I think it's 'cause I'm a "nothin'" to them and I mean a whole lot to Louisiana and tha music bu$ine$$. I'm a "nothin'" to them 'cause I choose not to catch and transfer a meesly fuckin' lil' football and instead choose to take 3+ hours out of my time to type this 13-14 page review. *Unexpected intermission* I guess I'm in a rush to call you 'cause I only had 3 fishsticks left and I wound up choking on one. It was actually, statistically, tha worst choking moment I had. Shit, fuckin' water was comin' out my eyes and some shit out my nose. It was stupid (or should I say "retarded"). But once again, VERY GOOD mixtape! 3 surprises happened (unexpectically havin' "Yo Swagger" come on (I knew Doonie was on here tho), "Goodnight Tonight" coming on Music Choice Dance and Nu$$ie shouting me out when I didn't expect for a second). Too bad tha $20 scratch-off was a loser. I expected that to be tha big surprise, lol. And tha stupid choking too. Well, it's a 3-way tie for tha best song on here (since I rated 3 songs wit a 4.8 rating (which was tha highest on here)). Let's see what's my favorite:
Rankings (according to ratings):
21. Sleep Feat. Big Gill, Kuale Boy, Dre Deuce & Payback "Watch Me Maneuver" 3.6
20. Konfo Feat. Pikasso "Let 'Em Lay" 3.9
19. Lil' Josh & Ernest Feat. Hurricane Chris "Jigga Juice (Remix)" 4.1
18. DJ Southpaw & Rackley "No Better Than This" 4.1
17. Baby L's "Pop It Off" 4.1
16. Nu$$ie Feat. Skull Duggrey, Bro Bro & Diablo "Dumb Way 2" 4.2
15. Lil' Yella Feat. Lil' Boosie "Chainz" 4.2
14. Big Gill (of Already Ent.) Feat. Sam I Am & Street Official "Jack Rabbit" 4.2
13. Nu$$ie Feat. Diablo "Shakedown" 4.3
12. Max Minelli "My Boi" 4.3
11. Kevin Gates Feat. Lil' Boosie "Get In The Way (Remix)" 4.3

07. Dee-1 "I Hate Money" 4.6
06. Dee-1 Feat. Mal, Tyrel & The Rebirth Brass Band "Rebirth" 4.6
05. One-i & Jayroc Feat. Lil' Cali "Big Deal" 4.6
04. Lil' Doonie Feat. K-9 "Yo Swagger" 4.7
03. C-Murder Feat. Young Ready "Cock, Aim, Shoot" 4.8
02. B-Raw "Nutcase" 4.8
01. Nu$$ie Feat. Savage "They Hate My" 4.8
What I did to determine who would get my official favorite spot was I looked at what I was gonna rate each song before I gave my real rating. Originally, I wanted to give "Cock, Aim, Shoot" and "Nut Case" a 4.7 each and "They Hate My" I almost gave a 4.9 so I gave it to Nu$$ie. Either way, this iz DEFINITELY better than "Tha Carter III" and HAS a Louisiana feel and HAS a gutta feel and HAS a lot more HIGHER ratings from me! I do like "Tha Carter III", but it was missing those first 2 things I said (tha feel and tha guttaness). Once again, I'm gonna tell Alex McConduit about you comin' to tha show and promoting this "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2" mixtape. I also hope you get to meet and talk to Famous Stranger (that rapper from New Orleans, LA) I told you about on your blog. And did I miss anything… uh… Tha old record for longest review was set on March 31, 2008. It was Dee-1's "I Am Who I Am" mixtape. I typed 11 pages and tha review lasted 2 hours, 43 minutes. This turned out to be 13.5 pages and lasted 3 hours, 14 minutes! Congrats! You deserve it (especially since you're tha BEST FUCKIN' PERSON IN THA MUSIC BU$INE$$)!! I'm gonna make sure I promote this on Myspaces worldwide and make sure I do anything for you. Hit me up for any favors! This DEFINITELY deserved to be my 100th review and DEFINITELY deserved to delay 14 CDs/mixtapes I had to review. Also, this iz gonna be featured in my "Favorite Rap and R&B Songs of July 2008" video under tha "CDs/Mixtapes To Go Cop" section of tha month.
04. Kevin Gates Feat. Lil' Boosie "Get In The Way (Remix)"
Lol… Now this says "remix". Kevin Gates actually wrote me on June 10th saying "how can I get on that mixtape?" I gave him tha info to get onto it and what do you know… he's on this one!! Not sure if that was planned before June 10th but either way, you know my anticipation iz sky-high for Kevin Gates and Lil' Boosie!!! >>> Oh yeah, first brand spankin' new song for me!! Hook sounds like a Reggae/Elephant Man type of hook… weird… Oh him coming on tha 1st verse makes me notice that voice!! I ranked "Game In Stiches" featuring Yung Sicka my favorite song on Big Jay's "Pyrex Radio Vol. 4: From Crumbz 2 Brickz" mixtape. I'm glad you "might as well sag your pants." I think "saggin'" iz a cool thing. I actually dislike it on me sometimes 'cause either my pants fall all off (yeah, I'll show my ass, lol) or it's way too tight. Definitely felt Kevin Gates's verse and Lil' Boosie's was REAL TIGHT. Lol @ me talkin' about Boosie on tha "To The Max (Remix)" and all of a sudden, he's on tha next joint (this) (especially after A-Mar, lol—I think that happened on tha last "Gangsta Gumbo" too, lol). 3rd verse was okay. Real glad you ended tha song wit tha "saggin'" part again. Minus tha Reggae sounding, this was tight. My Rating: 4.3
05. Lil' Josh & Ernest Feat. Hurricane Chris "Jigga Juice (Remix)"
I'm in tha mood to do this so I'm gonna do it… *BLIND REVIEW*!! I'm NOT lookin' at No. 5 while it plays so I know no info of it 'til it ends!! Let's see what happens!! >>> OMG *passes out and laughs*!! This song. Ha ha ha!! I had to look at it now 'cause I know what it iz. Gonna have to redo tha *BLIND REVIEW* later on here. So was this tha exclusive Hurricane Chris song/feature (as mentioned a very long time ago)? If so, I'll always remember where it came from first: Jimmy The DJ's mouth (not Music Choice Rap or Hot 97 in New York)! MTV Jams ain't got this yet… What are they doin'? Glad it's gettin' some mainstreamness out in tha world. I like how it sounds real fast and I always like tha "and like a Power Ranger, I'm 'bout to power up. I'm 'bout to transform…" Oh yeah, Music Choice Hip-Hop And R&B got this like last week and it censors "retarded." SMH… I like tha part "flyer than a kite / ridin' like a bike" that Hurricane Chris said (and tha way he said it). And speakin' of a title wit "juice" in it, I like titles wit "juice" in them 'cause earlier this year, starting February 19, 2008, I got real cool wit this dude Juice from my college. He had premiered some new music at times when I would hang out wit him (one being tha HOTTEST/HARDEST/BEST song/underground song/Rap song of 2008: "Bossman" by Joey Jihad & Meek Mill that I have played over 500 times (record setting and still goin')). I even discovered a song on tha Word Of South forum called "Get Rite Juice" by Kane & Abel Feat. 5th Ward Weebie & PNC 4 months ago. None of my sources (MTV, MTV2, MTV Jams, New York's Hot 97, CT's Hot 93.7 and Music Choice are my Urban sources) got that song and it was REAL TIGHT (still iz). I actually like it a WHOLE LOT better than "Jigga Juice". My Rating: 4.1
06. Dee-1 "I Hate Money"
I thought it said "One Man Army" for a sec. Then I saw Dee-1 and "Rebirth" clicked in for a sec. It's this (good). Got a spin on Alex McConduit's "The Hip-Hop Spot with Alex McConduit" show back on May 28, 2008 when Dee-1 visited tha show (along wit a bunch other songs of Dee-1's—YES, IF ANYONE's READING THIS, HOLLA AT Alex McConduit if you're in Louisiana!! His shows are broadcasted from New Orleans, LA and they broadcast online at http://www.crescentcityradio.com and you could be on tha show!!! Even I got a spin on his boy Big Money Matt's "The Tuesday Night Throwdown" show on July 1st (my song "Who I Am")). Anyway, time for another listen to this INTERESTING song of Dee-1's. Even when Dee-1 was on tha show, he was like "my father iz a workaholic." Well Dee-1, my dad iz tha same way. That's why he's very unreliable about doing things for me (mainly on time) as he works 2 jobs (3 in tha Summer) and works like 12 hours a day at least. I think we need to stick this song into my dad's ears and make him put his family (ESPECIALLY his kids like me) over money!!! >>> Oh yeah Dee-1, congrats on tha 2,500+ copies sold of your "I Am Who I Am" mixtape! Oh and this sounds great on here! Great pick for this mixtape! Great beat, very good lyrics and great flowing too! That whole 1st verse was explained on tha interview Dee-1 had wit Alex McConduit when he went to Alex's show (which I ripped tha WHOLE interview; 1 hour and 7 and a ½ minutes long)! I hear now that you talked about your dad in tha 2nd verse. I also heard your cousin got locked up before you talked about your dad. Really, why tha fuck would anyone steal money? I feel great wit tha money I have. I have like $600 right now and it'll take me like a ½ year to get rid of it. Most of tha time when it's Christmas, I have like no money left (mainly 'cause my birthday iz June 21st). *Checks for rating* I gave it a 4.3 but I feel it needs to have a higher rating. My Current Rating: 4.6
07. C-Murder Feat. Young Ready "Cock, Aim, Shoot"
Wow I'm 53 minutes into tha review and I only reviewed 6 songs so far, lol. That's good 'cause Jimmy The DJ needs EVERY WORD and EVERY SECOND of me for this (as well as tha artists on here)! Speaking of Alex McConduit's show, when tha Chopper City Boyz came thru (who Jimmy and I talked to as well) on July 2, 2008 (R.I.P. to VL Mike again), an hour before they came thru, C-Murder called in and had an interview on tha phone for 7 minutes and 17 seconds (I have it ripped). It was great, as well as tha Chopper City Boyz in tha studio! Oh and you know I have anticipation drippin' off my hands for this right here! Its got Young Ready on it (FREE Young Ready ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and C-Murder doesn't play games so DEFINITELY "gangsta" wit that title for this "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2" (LUCKY No. 7)!!! >>> I so didn't expect that West Coast type of beat/feel. Really feelin' that and tha hook! OMG Young Ready iz on FUCKIN' FIRE on tha 1st verse!!!!! Last "Gangsta Gumbo" CD, B-Raw & Gutta had tha 7th joint on there (which was my favorite on a 1st listen). This iz just as good!! I can see Music Choice Rap playin' this. I hope they don't ignore it. C'mon, it's a C-Murder joint. And C-Murder did his thang on tha 2nd verse! Yeah C-Murder, "tha N.O. in tha house!!" Well I guess Jimmy The DJ puts a REAL HOT joint at No. 7 on tha CD on purpose 'cause he did it again! Currently my favorite on this mixtape (can it last?)! My Rating: 4.8
08. Max Minelli "My Boi"
Another person from tha mixtape cover!! Lol!! Who didn't get played yet that was on tha cover… *checks*… Everyone of them got played on here already! Good way to fire up tha mixtape! Not sure if I heard before, but you know I gotta hear Max!! And I had to eat somethin' real quick, so I took a few minutes of a break. I only ate 3 oreos. I would've had more but I really wanna get back into this review! >>> Good start. Yeah, Max Minelli iz "my boi." Yeah heard this but glad it's on here too 'cause it sounds good on this mixtape! Yeah Max, you're "gonna get a nice check back." Tha whole song sounds good, especially tha 2nd verse. Real tight 2nd verse. Speaking of gettin' cake, I'm gonna start chargin' people (mainly people I don't know) $10 for a review that I would do for them. Sounds like it will be a good start for me. *Checks for rating* I thought for a sec this was on "The Remedy", but no, Jimmy The DJ went a better route and chose a joint that was featured on "Max Pain 2 (The Rise Of Max Pain)". Good job. I'm gonna keep tha rating I had originally, 4.3. Oh and once again, I thank Max Minelli so much for writing back to me on Myspace a month and a ½ ago when I sent him my review for his "The Remedy" CD. He really liked it. My Rating: 4.3
09. One-i & Jayroc Feat. Lil' Cali "Big Deal"
Okay my boy One-i and his boy Jayroc and Lil' Cali on this. Not sure if I know it, but we'll see what comes outta it. >>> Great start. Love that beat. Don't think I heard. It's hella tight!! Real "white rap" right here (unlike fake wiggers that randomly roam on Youtube and that live up where I live in shitty-ass Northeast PA). 2nd verse sounds like Nu$ie a lil'. I liked that "yeehhhan!!!" (or howeva you spell it) at tha end of tha verse (imitating a car noise). 3rd verse from One-i was great too. Very good joint for somethin' I had no anticipation for!! My Rating: 4.6
10. The Black Kadafi "Tin Man"
Ooh first one that's a 100% newbie! It took me up to No. 10 to hear somebody new so that means I discovered a WHOLE LOT since "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1"!! This looks interesting and if I'm gonna take a guess, he's tryin' to be tha "tin man" by shittin' on everyone else when it comes to rappin'/trappin'? Just a guess, but I'll find out now wit anticipation! >>> Lol @ "pussy scarecrow." Good start so far. Gettin' interested in hearing more! Okay I was wrong about guessin' tha title's definition. Good hook tho. Definitely like it!! Yes this shit iz hard and I like this shit. Tha beat iz nice and dark and just tha new sound for me iz great. Great 1st listen! I'll make sure I'll always play it whenever I get tha chance!! My Rating: 4.4
11. Big Gill (of Already Ent.) Feat. Sam I Am & Street Official "Jack Rabbit"
I'm gonna like it by tha looks of tha ID and title!! >>> Lol @ tha "bad habits" only 'cause that's like Big Money Matt & Alex McConduit's favorite thing to say on their shows: "BAD HABITS!!!" Sounds good. This iz tha 2nd time I'm hearin' Sam I Am on somethin' and once again he's aceing it!! Tha 1st joint I heard from him was "Like Dat" from tha "Pyrex Radio Vol. 4: From Crumbz 2 Brickz" mixtape. He's got a nice Bone Crusher type of feel! It's like where Bone Crusher left off, so I'm glad he picked up Bone Crusher's crown and followed his path. Okay I hear someone different on tha 3rd verse. That must be Street Official I'm guessing. I guess tha " & " symbol didn't come out in tha ID on tha Dat Piff player (if it was labeled wit that symbol instead of tha word "and"). Not bad, but Sam I Am of course made this real hot. Good feel once again on tha beat and tha hook! My Rating: 4.2
12. Nu$$ie Speaks
29 second skit. I didn't look at who was doin' it, but I'm gonna guess Jimmy The DJ 'cause of him bein' No. 12 on tha "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1" as well! I HOPE IT'S JIMMY THE DJ!!! *Checks ID* Nope it's Nu$$ie again. Love skits (especially from Louisiana people) so let's hear Nu$$ie again!! >>> Good job on that info! That's right "The Champ Iz Here" iz out now and here's my review for it: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...ogID=398001752 My Rating: N/A
½time: Perfect so far! I love every single joint and I hope it keeps up! Now somethin' I've been really anticipating… I mentioned it in tha beginning… my $20 scratch-off I bought earlier! I didn't even look at what number tha ticket was, so lemme see it… I'm gonna guess it's No. 009 for some reason. *Checks* … Nope, it was No. 027 (lol @ tha Lil' Wayne birthday (9 as my guess, 27 for tha real number)). That means this iz tha 3rd ticket in tha roll of $20 tickets (I bought a Monopoly). Very high anticipation and I don't think I'm gonna win (lol) 'cause this mixtape iz OFF THA CHAIN (sometimes if I'm havin' a bad day wit tha music business or music itself and/or people I talk to, then I think I have luck wit lottery tickets). Here I go scratchin' it! *$tart$ $cratchin'!!!* … No bonus (shit)… Shit, I needed to match a 4, 18, 8, 38, 27 or a 9 and I got a 37 (thinkin' I won)! Aight I'm ½ way through and nothin' yet… *Sigh* Only 5 numbers left… Figures, I was right. I lost. Well, at least there's this HOT mixtape! At least somethin' iz RIGHT right now (tha mixtape). It would've been a whole lot of fun writing that I won in this review, but whateva. It's No. 13 on tha mixtape so now I finna get into it!!
13. Nu$$ie Feat. Skull Duggrey, Bro Bro & Diablo "Dumb Way 2"
No error here. In fact, there's an error on "The Champ Iz Here" since it says "Dumway 2" (without tha "b" and tha spacing). Gonna re-hear and get another good feeling! >>> Oh yeah forgot tha original was on "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1". Good way to have tha sequel on here! Nu$$ie came thru HARD wit all those "*insert words here* in this biiitch!" lines!!! This joint must be goin' crazy in Louisiana! For any song that makes anyone "go dumb", you know it gon knock HARD in Louisiana! This definitely stays consistant all tha way 'round. *Compares ratings* Originally had a 4.0 rating. I feel a lil' better for this so a lil' boost iz gonna come outta me. My Rating: 4.2
14. Konfo Feat. Pikasso "Let 'Em Lay"
Another brand new one for me. Let's see if it's as good as "Tin Man"! >>> A lil' gangsta wit tha "spill my drink, tha trigger'll go" line. I like that line on tha "gangsta" tip but that won't be me in any way at all in real life. That's not an error on tha ID iz it? Only 'cause he's sayin' "confidence" (where it could be "Konfodence" as his name--EDIT: it's not an error). But this was tight. Good beat but I can't say that I love it already. My Rating: 3.9
15. B-Raw "Nutcase"
Gave B-Raw feedback on his Myspace when he first posted this. Now I can't wait to give it tha official review! I'm showin' a lot of luv to my dawg B-Raw by helpin' him out. I created a Youtube page for him on my birthday this year and wheneva he sends me video clips of him, I'll make a music video for him (I have a feeling it'll be this song and I didn't even re-hear it yet, but that's just a future guess). Well he's teamin' up wit Gutta again so I'm expectin' this song to act a "nut case"!!! >>> Tha fade in part kinda confused me but now here we go wit that BANGIN' BEAT (like tha one in "Parking Lot 2 Picture Booth")!!! Good it's not fuckin' 3 minutes (like most jointz on here)! It's 4 minutes, 3 seconds!! Tha hook iz too tight (wit that "can't give me a Tylenol" line). Tha 1st verse was REAL! Tight!! It's 8:10 PM right now (Jimmy knows what that represents)! Perfect timing 'cause of this HOT joint!! I like tha "Savage water" line. WHY IZ IT ENDING?!? Gonna tie tha rating wit that other song (tha C-Murder/Young Ready one) I rated tha best. We'll see who wins at tha end! My Rating: 4.8
16. JD Killa "N.O."
We're at No. 16 (tha one I have a lot of faith for) and I heard tha first millisecond of it. It was tha "Dey Know" beat. Without lookin' at tha ID, I'm gonna guess this iz "D.E.E.1.W.I.L.L.N.O.T.L.O.S.E." If it iz, those songs I rated 4.8 might not have a chance anymore… Uh oh!! *Checks ID* I'm WRONG, lol!! It's JD Killa (who I think iz supposed to holla at me in tha future). BTW, tha "Red Bandana" joint was tight. I know I didn't rate it at least a 4.0 rating on my review but I do love it. That was only a 1st listen. We'll see how he does on this GREAT jacked beat in 2.5 minutes! >>> He said "Crescent City." That's REALLY watz good! Shout out to Alex McConduit and Crescent City Radio & Big Boot Radio! 1st verse was pretty good but I do love tha way tha hook iz "N.O.'d"! Yeah I agree, you are "dat nigga" (BTW, I didn't say tha "n" word. I only quoted it to agree wit what JD Killa said). Lol @ you "droppin' your nuts on your sister." Good job on that boi! You passed my test! My Rating: 4.4
17. Baby L's "Pop It Off"
I think I'm readin' tha ID right… Baby L's? Sounds right (since an "l" iz a blunt (lol @ tha way I wrote tha letter; it looks like one, lol). It says "Baby L" on tha CD but "Baby L's" on his Myspace/Dat Piff player. Can't say it's an error now, but let's see how this gon pop off in tha short 2 minutes, 17 seconds! >>> Good start. I was right about tha name. They sound like a mix of random underground internet rappers mixed wit Curren$y. I like tha "dawg" parts (I always really like when rappers say "dawg"). "Push weight faster than a pipe line." That was a nice line! As soon as I was slowly gettin' more into it, it ended. Too short. My Rating: 4.1
18. Jeanisis Model Ms. Juicci
A model on here. Let's hear what he/she has to say. >>> It's a girl. She sounded hot, especially wit that echoing. My Rating: N/A
19. Lil' Doonie Feat. K-9 "Yo Swagger"
Aight lemme try this again. I'm NOT lookin' at tha ID. I see that it's 4 minutes flat but that's it. Hope it's HOT and I HOPE I don't know it! *BLIND REVIEW* >>> Another failed attempt at a *BLIND REVIEW*, lol! It unexpectically iz this so my heart iz racing (in a good way) a lil' 'cause it's Doonie!! That's Error No. 2 'cause it's Lil' Doonie (not just Doonie). No offense, but this had its time on my playlist. "To The Max (Remix)" also had its time due to video change-up and "Priceless (Remix)" had its time due to how long I've had it and new single that's pushin', "Rebirth". Anyway, my playlist has been not able to stable right (due to I haven't been goin' anywhere at all due to I'm not in college right now) so it's very hard to give "quality spins" out on my playlist. This actually was tha official last "lunch song" I played at Lackawanna college (on April 28, 2008). A "lunch song" happens when I eat my lunch at tha college. While I'm eating, I put a song on repeat while I eat. This iz to prevent me from eating & playing wit my iPod at tha same time (so it doesn't get dirty). But I had to drop a lot of songs I had gotten in tha Winter and tha Spring in order for newer ones to come in. Don't worry tho Doonie. Within tha time I was playin' "Yo Swagger", I beasted on it (as I gave it at least 70 spins on my iPod so fast) and it hit No. 1 on my Top 10 Countdown a few times in May. Also, I featured this joint in my "Favorite Rap and R&B Songs of April 2008" video. On wit tha song: I do like how Doonie said "tha black 'bauds saggin'." I'm rockin' a red/yellow/black/blue polo wit blue girbaud shorts that have red straps and white letters. Either way, any song about "swag" iz always gon be real tight and Doonie has a classic street anthem on his hands right here. Tha beat iz real tight and Doonie, your "under 18" deep voice pays off. I'm gonna keep tha original rating I had for it. My Current Rating: 4.7
Intermission: Music Choice Rap just got a new C-Murder joint, lol (speaking of which). They didn't get tha TIGHT JOINT on this mixtape but they got tha joint "So Fresh" featuring Detroit.
20. Sleep Feat. Big Gill, Kuale Boy, Dre Deuce & Payback "Watch Me Maneuver"
Aight I'm gonna keep doin' this until it works. Here goes Attempt No. 3 at tha *BLIND REVIEW*! Not lookin' at tha ID as I get ready to play this joint! >>> Okay I don't know it (yes) and it sounds like a fast beat! Vocals sound kinda quiet (like it was for tha females). Okay I hear a certain sound comin' from tha beat. I like that. It sounds like a game show sound! Lol @ "not tha octopus." I guess you're strong to be up "3 dayz straight" and "don't need no rest." I'm tryin' to stay up for 24 hours straight for tha 1st time, but it ain't workin'. Lemme guess, this joint iz called "Maneuver"? Well, tha *BLIND REVIEW* worked but I think this iz my least rated song so far. Tha 2nd verse was good but it didn't get me in tha special mood like most of tha other songs did. I don't know if it was because of me not knowing who it was, but I don't think it was that. I still like this tho. My Rating: 3.6
EDIT: Time to check tha ID. Let's see it… *Checks ID* … Oh I was 1/3 right about tha title and it wound up being this: Sleep Feat. Big Gill, Kliale Boy, Dre Deuse & Payback "Watch Me Maneuver". Izn't his name Sleepy and that spelling looks weird for Dre Deuse (then again, that spelling iz prolly right--EDIT: I fixed tha spelling tha way it should look 'cause tha Dat Piff player looked all stupid (I bolded what it looked like when I first saw it)).
21. Lil' Yella Feat. Lil' Boosie "Chainz"
I heard Lil' Yella once or twice (thanx to DeTrane) but now here comes tha anticipation!! Definitely high anticipation on tha collaboration!! >>> Lil' Yella sounds good and that beat iz tha usual good sound. Yeah "make it rain diamonds." That's different and I like it. Ooh look DJ Scotty K Feat. Knockhopper "Goodnight Tonight" just came on Music Choice Dance!!! This joint must be real lucky then if it can lure that song out (which came out last October, neva lost any quality wit me and scored over 400 spins wit me)!! VERY GOOD JOB!! REALLY LOOKIN' FORWARD to tha rest of this, including tha Lil' Boosie joint (oh now that that's playin' on Music Choice Dance, it feels like I'm typing 100 words per minute unlike my usual 94 words per minute)! Lil' Boosie did his thang and I definitely like this collabo!! Great job and tha hook just gets you in tha mood for Louisiana Rap music!! My Rating: 4.2
22. DJ Southpaw & Rackley "No Better Than This"
Looks like Jimmy The DJ retreated for a sec and let DJ Southpaw on. Not sure what to expect. Maybe I'll be shocked! >>> Almost thought that was "I'm 'Bout Money" beat in tha beginning but it's not. I like tha beat so far. Tha vocals definitely sound like someone randomly online. That hook iz real catchy. This sounds nice. Definitely good underground music right here. My Rating: 4.1
EDIT: Just to tell you, I love this one now! My rating could've been at least 0.5 points higher!!
23. Nu$$ie "Outro"
It's over? Let's see what Nu$$ie's gotta say… >>> Holy shit how did I not have any anticipation for this? CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why? 'Cause Nu$$ie shouted me out! DEFINITELY 'preciate that to tha FULLEST!!!!! I knew he was gonna do that (from a while back) but I didn't remember when I was reviewing this 'til I started playin' this outro. I remembered. BTW, tha beginning of this outro sounded good 'cause it sounded like you were rappin'. Good info and very good job wit mentioning me! Also gotta mention a quote I made up for myself: "I may be from Long Island, NY and I may live in Northeast PA, but my heart, especially for tha music bu$ine$$, lives in… Louisiana!" My Rating: N/A
24. Nu$$ie Feat. Savage "They Hate My"
It's NOT OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I see a No. 25 song also so we'll see what that iz! LOVE THIS one so expect at least a 4.8 rating!!! >>> "Savage on tha beat!" That beat iz TOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKIN' HOT!!! That hook iz TOOO HOT!!! People just hatin' on Nu$$ie and it's fuckin' gay how there's haterz. Trust me, people from my college hate on me (especially when we're out of college). They think "oh because Frankie doesn't play a sport, he ain't nothin'." So yeah, definitely feelin' this (especially in my case). Wow I'm 3 WHOPPING HOURS into this review!!! Sorry Dee-1, but you lost tha record for longest review (I don't think you should be too upset since it's ya boy Jimmy that broke it and that you're on here anyway). One thing I LOVE about this Savage beat iz that it's CONSISTANTLY REPETITIVE and doesn't get boring! Nu$$ie + this beat = just as good as tha $500 scratch-off winner I got on June 23, 2008! Great rhymes, flowin' and tha beat! Nu$$ie takes anything and does a track tha RIGHT (or should I say tha DUMB) WAY!!! My Current Rating: 4.8
25. Dee-1 Feat. Mal, Tyrel & The Rebirth Brass Band "Rebirth"
It's either a Nu$ie or Dee-1 song 'cause I might've peeked when I was lookin' to see how many tracks were left. Gonna look at tha ID… *Checks ID* … Oh it's Dee-1 and tha "Rebirth" song along wit tha crew!! Great ending song!! *Goes and gets dinner, fishsticks that I'm not alergic to that don't give me flem*… Such a New Orleans anthem right here! >>> That's cool that your grandpa "has a pair of girbauds." I just love that band in this and this joint iz just crazy! Can't wait for it to really pop off on that promotion tip!! Great verses and great joint! Can't wait for all tha moments (especially wit me) to pop off wit this joint! My Current Rating: 4.6
Overall: End Time: 9:19 PM. It took me 3 hours and 14 minutes to review this right here (mainly 'cause I pretty much put my all into every track/skit on here). A huge improvement from "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1" and DEFINITELY a classic right here!!! I'm glad to have my name featured in it and I must say that all day, err-day, Louisiana >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lackawanna College. I say that 'cause look at this: Nu$$ie, who I don't even know in person and NEVA talked to online/on tha phone (I talk to his manager A1 a lot tho), shouted me out, while a few of tha so called "spick-ass-fags" at my college who I've talked to in person at once won't even write me back when I write them. I think it's 'cause I'm a "nothin'" to them and I mean a whole lot to Louisiana and tha music bu$ine$$. I'm a "nothin'" to them 'cause I choose not to catch and transfer a meesly fuckin' lil' football and instead choose to take 3+ hours out of my time to type this 13-14 page review. *Unexpected intermission* I guess I'm in a rush to call you 'cause I only had 3 fishsticks left and I wound up choking on one. It was actually, statistically, tha worst choking moment I had. Shit, fuckin' water was comin' out my eyes and some shit out my nose. It was stupid (or should I say "retarded"). But once again, VERY GOOD mixtape! 3 surprises happened (unexpectically havin' "Yo Swagger" come on (I knew Doonie was on here tho), "Goodnight Tonight" coming on Music Choice Dance and Nu$$ie shouting me out when I didn't expect for a second). Too bad tha $20 scratch-off was a loser. I expected that to be tha big surprise, lol. And tha stupid choking too. Well, it's a 3-way tie for tha best song on here (since I rated 3 songs wit a 4.8 rating (which was tha highest on here)). Let's see what's my favorite:
Rankings (according to ratings):
21. Sleep Feat. Big Gill, Kuale Boy, Dre Deuce & Payback "Watch Me Maneuver" 3.6
20. Konfo Feat. Pikasso "Let 'Em Lay" 3.9
19. Lil' Josh & Ernest Feat. Hurricane Chris "Jigga Juice (Remix)" 4.1
18. DJ Southpaw & Rackley "No Better Than This" 4.1
17. Baby L's "Pop It Off" 4.1
16. Nu$$ie Feat. Skull Duggrey, Bro Bro & Diablo "Dumb Way 2" 4.2
15. Lil' Yella Feat. Lil' Boosie "Chainz" 4.2
14. Big Gill (of Already Ent.) Feat. Sam I Am & Street Official "Jack Rabbit" 4.2
13. Nu$$ie Feat. Diablo "Shakedown" 4.3
12. Max Minelli "My Boi" 4.3
11. Kevin Gates Feat. Lil' Boosie "Get In The Way (Remix)" 4.3
10. JD Killa "N.O." 4.4
09. The Black Kadafi "Tin Man" 4.4
08. A-Mar & Dyl Feat. Max Minelli & VL Mike "To The Max (Remix)" 4.5
07. Dee-1 "I Hate Money" 4.6
06. Dee-1 Feat. Mal, Tyrel & The Rebirth Brass Band "Rebirth" 4.6
05. One-i & Jayroc Feat. Lil' Cali "Big Deal" 4.6
04. Lil' Doonie Feat. K-9 "Yo Swagger" 4.7
03. C-Murder Feat. Young Ready "Cock, Aim, Shoot" 4.8
02. B-Raw "Nutcase" 4.8
01. Nu$$ie Feat. Savage "They Hate My" 4.8
What I did to determine who would get my official favorite spot was I looked at what I was gonna rate each song before I gave my real rating. Originally, I wanted to give "Cock, Aim, Shoot" and "Nut Case" a 4.7 each and "They Hate My" I almost gave a 4.9 so I gave it to Nu$$ie. Either way, this iz DEFINITELY better than "Tha Carter III" and HAS a Louisiana feel and HAS a gutta feel and HAS a lot more HIGHER ratings from me! I do like "Tha Carter III", but it was missing those first 2 things I said (tha feel and tha guttaness). Once again, I'm gonna tell Alex McConduit about you comin' to tha show and promoting this "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2" mixtape. I also hope you get to meet and talk to Famous Stranger (that rapper from New Orleans, LA) I told you about on your blog. And did I miss anything… uh… Tha old record for longest review was set on March 31, 2008. It was Dee-1's "I Am Who I Am" mixtape. I typed 11 pages and tha review lasted 2 hours, 43 minutes. This turned out to be 13.5 pages and lasted 3 hours, 14 minutes! Congrats! You deserve it (especially since you're tha BEST FUCKIN' PERSON IN THA MUSIC BU$INE$$)!! I'm gonna make sure I promote this on Myspaces worldwide and make sure I do anything for you. Hit me up for any favors! This DEFINITELY deserved to be my 100th review and DEFINITELY deserved to delay 14 CDs/mixtapes I had to review. Also, this iz gonna be featured in my "Favorite Rap and R&B Songs of July 2008" video under tha "CDs/Mixtapes To Go Cop" section of tha month.
