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!

reviewed on 10.16.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. Intro
I hope it's you speakin'. Let's see how we start thangz off… >>> Good, it iz you speakin' wit a nice Louisiana beat on here. I'm lookin' forward to this mixtape and to you readin' this review! You sound cool and you definitely sound like you're from B.R. (which you are) so that's watz good. Nice intro right here! My Rating: N/A
02. Skit (4 My Thugz)
A skit already? LOL! Let's see what we got… >>> Nice lil' message throughout this. I feel like this should've been tha outro or somethin'. My Rating: N/A
03. "In Tha Kitchen" Feat. Lil' One, Beezy B & Looney Boi
So this iz how we're startin' it off, huh? WHO ARE THESE DUDES? This iz what DRAWS ATTENTION and ANTICIPATION to me: unknown artists (ESPECIALLY from Louisiana (what I'm guessin')) and that NICE title (must have to do wit tha trap house and shit). First actual joint on here, givin' me a huge anticipation level!!!!! >>> Okay hook but I didn't expect it to be like a sample. I rather it have been somethin' like "I'm 'in tha kitchen,' cookin' up ___." Either way, I'm hearin' tha 1st verse right now and it's soundin' real nice wit a good vibe. Likin' those drug lyrics! I like tha "work on tha scale / come out heavy" part. Great 1st verse and nice rappin'! I like that 2nd verse also. You know I'm in a very good mood right now since I'm eatin' banana split crème oreos right now (lovin' 'em)! Listenin' to tha 3rd verse and it's also nice and good! Great 3rd verse, which means great verses throughout tha whole song! I just wish that hook was better for me… Either way, good job on this. My Rating: 4.0
04. "Get Dat Money" Feat. Kevin Gates, IL Duce & Nephew
Uh oh, Kevin Gates on this bitch (No. 4) so you know sky-high anticipation for me!!! >>> 5:00 flat on tha length, Kevin Gates on tha intro and you're on tha beat! Not bad hook until I heard tha title. LOL @ how it sounds and how it comes outta nowhere. That gets my face to crack a smile. My dude Kevin Gates iz on tha 1st verse and soundin' REAL GOOD on this!! What a great verse from Kevin Gates! I'm so glad I'm able to get in touch wit his manager! Sounds like IL Duce on tha next verse… Pretty good verse from him so thumbs up. Nephew iz on tha 3rd verse and good thing for all these dudes 'cause they make this joint sound good. Glad to have all this underground shit on a CD! Pretty nice on his part. Startin' to like tha hook more and still lovin' when it says "get dat money" wit that screwed voice. I like tha way tha beat rode throughout tha end. My Rating: 4.3
05. "On Tha Slab I Go" Feat. Young Dreezy, Savage & Peabody
I might know Young Dreezy from 1 or 2 jointz… I know Savage well and I don't think I know Peabody. I expect almost a more Houston sound wit tha title havin' "slab" in it but anticipation 'cause of Savage bein' on this bitch! >>> This beat sounds a lot better than tha last 2 jointz on here! Good, Savage iz startin' this off wit tha hook! Oooh, iz that Young Dreezy wit tha 1st verse? I guess it iz him since he's first on tha features. It was DEFINITELY nice! Great hook from Savage!! Yes, Savage on tha 2nd verse! Great shit, especially wit tha "like locksmiths, we know keys" part. Real nice verse Savage!! Wow, 3rd verse iz REAL NICE too! Great job from Peabody on that! Now, I'll know he's a tight rapper! Glad this joint just keeps havin' Savage doin' that TIGHT hook! My Rating: 4.7
06. "Hustle, Stack & Grind" Feat. Max Minelli, J-Von & Big Scoob
Ooh look at this! And I FUCKIN' LOVE how each song keeps switchin' all tha different peeps around!! I'm familiar wit all 3 of them so this should be some nice shit wit that NICE title! I can't tell you how anticipated I am for this!! Oh and speakin' of J-Von, I was supposed to review one of his older jointz, that "Formula 51-50" mixtape, recently but I decided to wait as coming up in tha future, due to I discovered a SPECIAL blog online, I'm gonna do a "Louisiana Review Month" where I'm reviewin' a Louisiana CD every single day (mainly old ones). However, I have a slight feeling that I'm gonna have AT LEAST 144 CDs to review?!?! Due to this, it might not just be a month. More info on this in tha future! For now, this No. 6 joint on here! >>> I like that beginning wit tha Beat Flippa/B-Real intro. I guess this iz a combo between you and B-Real on tha beat! This combo iz soundin' nice so far! Looks like this gon be anotha REALLY TIGHT joint! Of course, NICE hook! Max Minelli iz on tha 1st verse and yes, he IZ "not God but he iz Godzilla." DEFINITELY a great verse from him! No wonder he's on a joint like this! Nice 2nd verse from Big Scoob right here. That's cool that "your pants saggin' low" for tha people. I like tha shit after his verse wit tha times of what's gonna happen! Pretty nice 3rd verse too from J-Von right here! Of course, I can't help but to love this shit easily 'cause it's easily able to be done by them! My Rating: 4.6
07. "Never Seen A Gangsta" Feat. Young Ready, Nu$$ie & Young Crucial
HOLY SHIT anotha MEGA COLLABO!!! No wonder, look what's on Music Choice Sounds Of The Seasons right now: "Screams From Beyond" by Sound Effects. All screams are comin' outta tha screen 'cause of how CRAZY this joint gon prolly be!! OMG tha screamin'!! Too anticipated now as I got SO much luv for Young Ready (as he wrote me a response letter from jail) and Nu$$ie shouted me out on tha "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2" CD he hosted (plus I'm real cool wit his manager) so this gon be FIYA, ya heard me!!! >>> *SCREAMS wit tha screen screamin'* It's Young Ready!!! DEFINITELY great shit wit those REAL TIGHT rhymes from Young Ready!!! I like that line about tha Youngbloodz. Shit, just when I thought it was perfect, that hook fucked this up!! I can't believe it sounds babyish on tha way it sounds! Anyway, Nu$$ie on tha 2nd verse and (OF COURSE) it's VERY TIGHT!!! Tha only exception to tha hook iz tha "got choppaz" part; that's it. Tha rest of it just ruins it for me! Now onto Young Crucial, who's on tha 3rd verse… DEFINITELY a nice verse from him too! I can't believe it… PERFECT verses, NICE beat during tha song (except tha hook) and in conclusion, a bad hook. If that hook wasn't there, it would've been a 4.8 (close to a 4.9) rating from me but, I gotta do my deduction! My Rating: 4.5 (not too bad of a deduction)
08. "Trap Spot" Feat. Lil' One, Infa Red & Big Grizzly
I feel tha consistantness continuing!! Of course, gotta luv tha title! Lil' One's back wit 2 otha dudes… Let's see what they got in store for this anticipating joint!! >>> Good it's 4:42 (nice long length). Of course, can't help but to LOVE tha topic and tha hook! Here comes tha 1st verse… Too bad dude on tha 1st verse dropped out at 16. At least he's rappin' now. Definitely liked that 1st verse! As long as you rappin' about what you've witnessed, then that's when it comes to rapality (lol @ my made-up word) and makes others enjoy your stories. Good start to tha 2nd verse wit tha "pot on tha stove." Likin' tha way he sounds 'cause it's easily a Louisiana style in tha voice. REAL nice shit for tha 2nd verse! A great 3rd verse too but I think I liked tha 1st 2 verses better. I definitely really enjoyed listenin' to this joint. Damn, that's a nice beat Beat Flippa! My Rating: 4.7
09. Skit Feat. Big Cheese
What does this dude got to say for this? >>> Good, it's 1:06! That's nice that Big Cheese got on tha mic to say somethin' wit those other dudes, talkin' about what they wanna be when they get older. I would've neva guessed I'd be doin' all these reviews but people lovin' 'em and respectin' 'em. My BEST feature however iz directing and editing videos! I also love to make videos as well. That's my strongest attribute. My 2nd strongest iz tha reviews, then writin' lyrics, then rappin' and producin' comes last. It takes me a long time to produce somethin' usually and I'm not good at it at all. However, I only do it because 1.) I'm somewhat new to it (started last year) and 2.) I want to give tha people music I MADE, not music I JACKED from someone else. Maybe in tha future I'll be on otha peoples' beats. Who knows, I might be featured on an underground rapper outta Baton Rouge's mixtape in tha future (won't reveal who it iz yet but I got his back and he's got my back so that's really watz good). My Rating: N/A
½time: So far it's off to a pretty good start… NOT! It's off to a VERY, VERY, VERY GOOD START!!! Looks like I loved every song so far on a 1st listen (since I gave each one at least a 4.0 rating). Hope this HOT SHIT continues wit these HOT-ASS collabos!!!
10. "My Ol' School" Feat. IL Duce, Jimi Jump & J.S.P.
Good tha collabs continue! Glad to see Jimi Jump on here! This should be REAL HOT so high anticipation level on it!! >>> Anotha joint wit 5:00 on tha length! Nice lil' phone call in tha beginning. Beat iz okay on this one but not grabbin' my attention so fast. I have a feelin' I'm gonna really like tha lyrics/rhymes a lot more than tha beat for this one. Hearin' tha 1st verse and it's soundin' nice. Didn't expect this to be for tha females. That was a nice 1st verse for tha females! See, I knew I was gonna like tha rhymes more on this. Cool, anotha phone call before tha 2nd verse. Nice phone call Jimi and he's on tha 2nd verse as well. I like tha "smell like purple" part. Great 2nd verse from Jimi Jump right there. He's a real nice rapper so he always gets my props, ya dig! Up, no phone call before tha 3rd verse? Neva mind, there's no 3rd verse, it's a bridge instead. Tha singin' was nice on that bridge. I'm surprised I liked this better than No. 3, which I only rated No. 3 a 4.0. My Rating: 4.1
11. "Bottom Of The Trenches" Feat. Max Minelli, Lil' Cali & Hollywood
I was gonna guess tha last word in tha title was gonna be "map," but no, it had to be a much better word for this CD! Likin' tha title a whole lot and since its got Max on it, you know I'm anticipated! I'm familiar wit who Lil' Cali iz but I'm pretty sure I don't know Hollywood. >>> Great intro wit Max Minelli goin' off on it!! Too bad I ain't got no "white tee shirt on." I got a black shirt that says "hu$tle" on. Usually I wear a polo everyday, but I'm tryna save my good polos for my music video that I'm directing hopefully next week. Great start and now Max iz on tha 1st verse! I like tha "I'm in tha club wit tha snakes and tha roaches" line. Definitely tight shit from Max again, especially wit that "tell tha judge…" line! I like also that tha verse ended wit "ya heard me!" 2nd verse iz soundin' real good on this shit! Also, tha 3rd verse iz soundin' nice too! Anotha real tight collabo and just really feelin' that beat and that Max Minelli hook! My Rating: 4.4
12. "I Got It" Feat. Beezy B, Drama Boyz & Sims
Let's see how interested I get for this joint. I'm expectin' it to be good… Let tha 4.0+ ratings continue!! >>> Nice beat so far. Oh wow, tha hook just kickin' in wit all that shit that they got!! Lovin' all tha shit they got!! Definitely likin' tha 1st verse and just lovin' that hook!! REALLY likin' tha 2nd verse so far too! What great shit here!! 3rd verse iz startin' nice wit havin' "Christina by tha brick!" Gotta luv how Christina Aguilera made a name for tha trap game thanx to that "White Girl" joint from last year. Definitely liked tha 3rd verse too! Well, this joint DEFINITELY didn't disappoint and just was tha shit!! My Rating: 4.8
13. "I Get Retawded" Feat. Young Ru, Beezy B & Nu$$ie
I might 'memba Young Ru from somewhere but can't really think right now. Beezy B havin' 2 jointz back 2 back and Nu$$ie on this gets me havin' a NICE anticipaton level!! This should be a crazy Baton Rouge club banga!!!!! >>> That was a good PSA in tha beginning to tha ones that just don't know how tha fuck Baton Rouge people get down in Louisiana: "retarded" = "goin' crazy" (not in a bad way). Great start wit that kickin' beat! Nice start wit how "tha club was on Monday." Just hearin' tha title and tha whole "I get retawded nigga" parts gives me a REAL NICE vibe to listen to this, ESPECIALLY since it's 100% Baton Rouge right here!!!!! Great 1st verse and I'm just FUCKIN' LOVIN' that hook!!!!! I'm REAL GLAD they defined tha title in tha hook by actin' it out as well!! Great 2nd verse and just so FUCKIN'… wait, so MA'FUCKIN' jammin' right here!!! Yes, *increases voice like Nu$$ie does* Nu$$ie's next!!! VERY, VERY GOOD verse from Nu$$ie there and just made this joint sound even better!! It's just tooooo crazy!! Likin' that cold ending too! My Rating: 4.9
14. "On Tha Grind" Feat. Hollywood, Beezy B & A.R.
Wow, Beezy B ain't stoppin'! Triple play of him right now and let's see how this one gon sound! Expectin' nice up-tempo, down south beat. I wonder how A.R. gon sound too! >>> Yup, I got what I wished for for tha beat. I like tha "creepin'" sounds in tha beat too! Great 1st verse so far! I'm definitely likin' it right now. Pretty nice hook too. I'm glad that dude's all about all those thingz that are green. Tha 2nd verse iz soundin' pretty nice too. 3rd verse iz soundin' REAL NICE! Lovin' tha lyrics/rhymes on tha 3rd verse wit all tha shit 'bout "HIV" and tha line about tha "pizza guy." Also hearin' tha "my flow like smoke" line too. Wow, VERY GOOD 3rd verse!! My Rating: 4.2
15. "Somethin' In Da Air" Feat. Tank Jones, Derty & Nu$$ie
Was lookin' at tha ID and just loved tha title ('cause it prolly has to do wit smokin') and I'm just lookin' at who's featured and all of a sudden, *increases voice to sound like him* Nu$$ie!! Nu$$ie iz featured on this so you know I got lots of anticipation! Shit, if all these jointz are SO HOT/SO ANTICIPATING, wait 'til I get to No. 16, which I always have faith for!! This should be REAL HOT so without wasting my time, here goes my review for tha No. 15 joint on here!! >>> Ooh, 4:44 on tha length! Creepy, dark beat in tha beginning! Ooh, Baton Rouge sound effect added to tha beat! Ooh, Baton Rouge vibe added to tha beat now!! Didn't expect tha hook to sound like that but it's definitely nice. Nice lil' club banga right here! So Baton Rougeish! Tank Jones DEFINITELY had a NICE verse! He's also doin' tha ma'fuckin' thang on that hook! Lovin' all those "and you, and you, and you, and you…" parts!! I'm glad he continued a lil' before tha 2nd verse actually started startin' wit Derty on it. He did pretty good on his part. Can't wait to hear *increases voice to sound like him* Nu$$ie!! LOL @ tha "full moon" approach to his verse! Great shit and around 3:47, he did that *increases voice to sound like him* "Nu$$ie!!" part! Love that (as it comes outta nowhere). VERY GREAT verse from him! Nu$$ie and Tank Jones doin' tha MA'FUCKIN' thang on this shit!! This vs. tha "Retawded" joint. It might be a tie here… I'm gonna rate them tha same but I have a feelin' this'll be tha one I have that breaks tha tie breaker. My Rating: 4.9
16. "I Gotta Get It" Feat. Lil' Yungin & RnB
What do we got for No. 16…? Prolly Young Ready 'cause it's No. 16. If I had to guess tha artists, I'd say Young Ready, Kevin Gates and Max Minelli are tha featured ones!! *Checks ID* Title almost looks like No. 12… What's that R&B shit in tha ID? This betta be tha Baton Rouge shit I'm lookin' for! This iz so not what I expected so low anticipation level! >>> Shortest song so far wit only 2:58 on tha length… Okay, pretty nice beat (sounds a lil' mainstreamish but I go for it) and Lil' Yungin soundin' not bad on tha verse. Pretty good verse. I guess that's an R&B singer on tha hook that calls himself RnB. Decent hook. Lil' Yungin's a girl? I didn't expect that. I thought it was a young, male rapper. Either way, decent song for me. Maybe it'll have to grow on me in tha future but still good. My Rating: 3.8
17. "I Know" Feat. Beezy B, Lady Lox, Vanda & La Tangela
Looks like a mix of ladies mixed wit Beezy B here… Not sure how anticipated I am but who knows what'll come outta this… >>> Okay female on tha beginning part. 1st verse iz soundin' a lil' like some old Weezy on tha vocals. Pretty nice verse from Beezy on tha 1st verse. I hear a lady on tha 2nd verse… Pretty good verse I guess. Tha hook has a nice message, especially from a lady. Ooh, didn't expect a dude on tha 3rd verse! He's soundin' pretty good on his part. Prolly tha best verse on this song. I think I might like it better than tha "I Gotta Get It" joint I just listened to but for now, it's a tie. Who will break tha tie breaker at tha end? My Rating: 3.8
18. "Floatin' 4 Ya" Feat. C-Loc, Young Ready & Young Crucial
HOLY SHIT this iz on here!?!? REAL NICE!! Young Ready had requested me to review tha CD wit Tha Camp (a.k.a. Concentration Camp a.k.a. Camp 5) and their CD, "Break It Off!" This was one of tha jointz on there and I couldn't figure out who was on tha last verse but I finally figured out it was Young Crucial. Yeah, tha online tracklistings were so fucked up for that CD (as it only would say "Feat. C-Loc" on most of tha tracks). Anyway, I'm just gonna paste tha review I did for it here (replacing tha 2nd person form (when I say "you" or "your") wit "Young Ready" or "he" 'cause tha original review was for Young Ready; this review's for you) 'cause I gotta get back on my grind and I'm tryna get much of this shit done wit fast: Ooh anotha long length and great piano in tha beginning! Ooh that's my dawg Young Ready on tha hook!! C-Loc startin' tha verses off! Yeah, "him and Young Ready act a clown." I'm glad Young Ready's keepin' that dumb shit comin'!! Young Ready makin' that hook soundin' tight! YEAH FUCKIN' Young Ready on tha 2nd verse!!! He started tha verse off wit some of his "Gangsta Bow" hook! Great!! He's TOO FUCKIN' GREAT!!! Yeah, "if he hit someone wit tha heat, they will rest in peace." He did his FUCKIN' THANG on tha 2nd verse and I like him sayin' "ya stupid ma'fucka" in tha hook 'cause that proves that he's not playin'!! Tha 3rd verse was good too! My Current Rating: 4.7
^ Also, I'm glad C-Loc liked tha 4 reviews I did for him on September 21, 2008!
Overall: End Time: 7:19 PM. Well Beat Flippa, VERY TIGHT CD here!! SO MANY JOINTZ I just FUCKIN' LOVED!!! I hope you really like this review (as I really liked this CD)! Keep doin' yo thang and stay in touch wit me 'cause I'm one VALUABLE person that has a HUGE heart for Louisiana!!!
