Review #137: 3 Way Street Radio Presents "Jigg City Allstars Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 10.17.2008 (Review No. 137)


FrankieThaLuckyDog here wit my 2nd of 4th review today. No introduction, just doin' this for Way3000 and his compilation mixtape discs! Here goes my next review for 3 Way Street Radio Presents "Jigg City Allstars Vol. 1"! BTW, because this mixtape (and tha other 2 I'm reviewin' today) iz a compilation, I'm prolly gonna know some songs/have reviewed some in tha past. If that's tha case, I'm just gonna copy from my older reviews and paste tha review onto here. This iz important 'cause I gotta get as many reviews done as possible 'cause college iz to tha point where I have to focus on it more and so I can have tha same rating for tha song. I may change tha ratings if I feel different about tha song now also. Start Time: 2:36 PM | Video Game Playing: Secret Of Mana (for Super Nintendo) (on my computer)


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!

© 2008 CD Review (Review #137) reviewed on 10.17.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.

01. Sam I Am "Jiggulators"
Wow he's startin' this shit off? Now you know I'm really lookin' forward to this shit!! >>> Way3000 speakin' on this one in tha beginning. I'm glad you're speakin' in tha beginning. Slow beat so far and likin' that Boosie start wit tha "nuttin' like Baton Rouge." There's tha beat finally for Sam I Am! I was just about to say, "he's on a slow beat?" But no, this iz tha beat I wanna hear on a Sam I Am joint!! Sam I Am MURDERS EVERYTHING HE'S ON!!! CRAZY SHIT he be spittin', especially at a fast pace! I can imagine reviewin' a CD of him: prolly REAL HIGH ratings on nearly every song!! Definitely a great 1st verse, nice hook too! And look what's on Music Choice Electronica right now: New Order Feat. Ana Matronic "Jetstream (Richard X Remix)", an old 2005 song that they have as a "rare song" (where they only play it once a month). That's what happens when Sam I Am iz playin' on tha stereo right now; he lures out HOT music on other channels! Are we startin' off tha errors again 'cause it sounds like someone else iz at tha end? Still, great shit though!! My Rating: 4.4


02. Down Bad "Keep Rollin'"
I thought I knew it for a sec but I didn't see it anywhere so I guess fresh review from me! High anticipation level too! >>> Likin' tha beat intro! Almost reminds me of tha Savage/Down Bad joint "Mind Gone" for tha beat and some of tha hook (only without tha extended part of tha beat where it would go into more shit). Pretty nice start and just sounds great to me! Not bad on tha 2nd verse. I liked how tha 2nd verse ended wit Limp Bizkit "Rollin'" (imitated). Towards tha end, I hear that "I've been drankin' and I've been smokin'." That came from "24's" originally and it was nice to hear it in this joint too. I like that quiet, unexpected mixin' at tha end. My Rating: 4.2


Intermission: Music Choice Dance iz playin' Liquid Nation Feat. Andrea Britton "Breathe Life" right now (brand new song) so I MUST listen to it while I type what I have to type about Max Minelli and tha 3rd joint on here!


03. Max Minelli Feat. C-Loc "I'm So On"
A song that hit Music Choice Rap like last year sometime in tha Spring I think *checks date* I think I said this once before: it hit it March 14, 2007 @ 1:29 AM, tha 2nd premiere after "Wipe Me Down (Remix)" that day. Oh, I see that C-Loc iz on it so confirmed by me, that's ID Error No. 1. Anyway, nice beat. That beat iz addicting!! I really like that "welcome to Minelli World, can I please take yo order?" line a whole lot to introduce tha song!! VERY NICE introduction!!! I remember that hook! Definitely a jam right there! I think it only got like 2-5 spins on MCR. Why don't they promote artists like you very special? Only a few artists that I've talked to online, or have heard first online have gotten to Music Choice Rap, but didn't get much spins. I don't know if Max Minelli has a pill of it already, but he should invest in makin' a "Max Pain" pill for tha stores. I didn't know C-Loc's part wasn't in this but still, he was in tha intro so it counts! Uh oh… I hear Young Ready next!!! My Current Rating: 4.2


04. Young Ready "Gangsta Bow"
I know DJs call it "He A Gangsta" but according to Young Ready, which was HANDWRITTEN from him to me, it's "Gangsta Bow" so that's ID Error No. 2. Anyway, REAL GLAD it's on here!! This iz tha 1st song I heard from him! 1st heard it on February 15, 2008 when I reviewed tha "Pyrex Radio Vol. 3: On Tha Muscle" mixtape. I REALLY love that hook and just him rappin' on this shit iz REAL NICE!! That beat iz good too! My Current Rating: 4.8


05. Beelow Feat. Lil' Boosie, Max Minelli & C-Loc "It's Whatever"
Let's see what he's got boilin' up here… >>> Good, a MA'FUCKIN' Baton Rouge type of beat!!!!! Nice lil' hook right there; can't be fucked wit! Great part, but I guess whoeva does tha covers or "whatever" doesn't like to source tha featured artists. Boosie was on tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse (and did a nice job) so that's ID Error No. 3. HOW THEY LEAVE MAX MINELLI OUTTA THA ID?!? LOL!! He sounds real young too on here. ID Error No. 4: Max Minelli on tha feature too. He did a nice job and I knew wit it bein' a Beelow joint that there was gonna be an ID error (this time, 2). Oh nope, there's 3 errors! ID Error No. 5: C-Loc on tha 3rd verse! C-Loc doin' tha DAMN THANG on his part!! C-Loc also sounded nice on tha hook. My Rating: 4.6


Break: Gotta eat my lunch (a pizza). Don't feel like typin' 29 WPM (instead of 94 WPM wit 2 hands) and listenin' at tha same time so it's 3:15 PM and it's a lil' break. >>> Damn, that was fast! It's only 3:27 PM and I ate tha whole thing up! Now, time to get back into tha review!


06. Handy Feat. Mouse & Webbie "Tear It Down"
Let's see how this dude gon handle this track… >>> ID Error No. 6: Mouse kicked it off! Nice start from Mouse and it sounds like he did tha beat too; nice! I'm enjoyin' his voice when he says tha "get out my ear wit all that 'he said, she said'" line! Great 1st verse and this iz a jam right here! JUST LOVIN' THAT HOOK!!!!! WOW Webbie's left outta tha ID too?!? SHIT!! ID Error No. 7: No Webbie in tha ID. FUCKIN' LOVE how you brought it back so many times wit tha "get out my—get out my…" part on tha hook before tha 3rd verse! Iz that someone else on tha 3rd verse? Oh look what I heard he said: tha special "Mouse drop tha track that'll make you bounce and act, what!" line! So this iz tha song that has that part huh? Great shit though! My Rating: 4.5


07. Jigga House "Parking Lot"
I wonder what this Lucky No. 7 joint gon sound like… >>> Someone made them "mad," LOL?! But they said, "once opon a time" in tha beginning. However, nice gutta beat wit a nice gutta feel for tha 1st verse. Great 1st verse right there though! Sounds like tha quality iz low on tha 2nd verse… It sounded pretty good though. Let's see… there's a 3rd verse here too… Sounded good too. I guess Down Bad iz next since that's what I heard at tha end! My Rating: 4.3


08. Down Bad "Fifths"
Neva heard this Down Bad joint. Let's see watz good wit it! >>> Yeah I reviewed tha "Down Bad: From Da Block 2 Da Club" CD of theirs back in May 2008. Nice 1st verse (or should I say tha only verse) on this joint. That's a nice hook right there wit that cool beat. Nice joint right here. Up, there's a 2nd verse. There's only 22 seconds left though… It's soundin' REAL nice wit tha "en, en, en, en" (imitating tha beat) part. My Rating: 4.1


09. C-Loc Feat. Reno Da Gutta "You Pussy"
Don't know this joint so let's see what's good wit him on this one! >>> Nice beat and I'm just dyin' to know what he's got to spit on this shit! Look what I hear, an error! ID Error No. 8: Reno Da Gutta on this joint! Nice lil' hook from him right there! Yes, C-Loc on that 1st verse! Pretty nice on his verse. Really likin' that hook from Reno! He's on tha 2nd verse too… Nice 2nd verse from him as well. Nice check in towards tha last 45 seconds on here Way3000. This turned out to be a pretty nice joint. My Rating: 4.0


10. Doulja Feat. Lil' Boosie "That Iron"
So that's how you spell that term, "Doulja." I hear people say "I'm off that Doulja," but I had no clue how to spell it. Anyway, this should be tight and gutta!! >>> Just noticed: THERE'S A FEATURED ARTIST ON THA ID THIS TIME?!? LMMFAO!!! Looks like Doulja doesn't obsess that Doulja but "that iron," 'specially since he do lots of things like "sleep/cook beef/smoke dro/count doe/take a shit (LOL)/hit licks/flip bricks/beat a bitch" wit it. I guess he's a dangered rapper since he has to have that tool on him all tha time! Anyway, definitely a nice hook though! Boosie's on tha 1st verse… He "got his 1st gun at 12?" That proves that he's gutta. Nice verse and I'm startin' to really like that hook! Nice part and great 2nd ½ of tha hook wit all those "da da"s, oh I mean "that iron"s, lol! My Rating: 4.4


½time: DEFINITELY another NICE mixtape so far!! Hope you kept tha last 10 jointz gutta and real good!!


11. Da Jiggalators "All They Do Is Jigg"
Now that's a title I love! Time to obsess tha jigg movement right now wit this joint!! >>> Only 2:10 on tha length? Noo…! Nice fast beat intro to this! Lovin' tha fast style and tha rappin' on this! Great shit for tha clubs right here!! That was a nice 1st verse! There's a 2nd verse so let's see here… Pretty good I guess. Nice joint right here. My Rating: 4.3


12. Lil' Quick "Jiggy With It"
And what iz this supposed to sound like? >>> Just think how Will Smith popularized tha term, "gettin' jiggy wit it." And now look, Baton Rouge iz "jiggin'" like there's a huge disease in tha air!! LOL!! That was in a good way though what I said. Anyway, not bad start on tha 1st verse here… Nice 1st verse I guess and this sounds like tha sequel to tha "All They Do Is Jigg" joint on here. Nice consistantness! Nice 2nd verse too. Definitely likin' tha consistantness to this joint! Can't tell if I like this better than tha "All They Do Is Jigg" joint so I'm gonna have to tie tha rating. Nice to hear this shit right here! My Rating: 4.3


13. Lil' Boosie "Power Up"
Ooh more of that type of music it looks like (according to tha title)! I have a feelin' there's gonna be ID errors ('cause I have a feelin' there's gonna be featured artists on this one). Let's see how Boosie Bad Azz gon "power up" wit this joint! >>> Iz that tha B.G. "I Want It" beat? No wonder why he sounded like he was singin' it. Sounds good though. Nice 1st verse right there! I guess because it's tha B.G. beat, I was gonna say, "this sounds mainstreamish." Great 2nd verse and now I'm 'bout to "power up" in tha video game I'm playin' by healing all my peeps in my click. Someone else iz on tha 3rd verse and did a good job on their verse. I don't know who it was though but they weren't cited. My Rating: 4.2


14. JD Feat. Lil' Boosie "Beast Mode"
Who's this JD dude? LOL @ tha feature bein' on tha mp3 version but not tha cover; that's still an error to tha cover! ID Error No. 9: Lil' Boosie's not listed as "featured artist" on this joint on tha cover. >>> I have a feelin' this'll be a sequel to "Power Up"! Nice start so far and great hook JD! Glad that "bag of dro" gets him in "beast mode!" Boosie iz startin' tha 1st verse off and it's soundin' great! Glad he's "movin' them kilos!" Good thing his girl gon "act a donkey" when Boosie comes out! REAL NICE verse from Boosie! This joint iz soundin' better than a bunch other jointz on here! Great hook and JD iz on tha 2nd verse… Likin' that start wit tha shit he's sayin'! GREAT shit from his verse! Great 3rd verse from JD too! My Rating: 4.7


15. Lava House Feat. Lil' Boosie & Webbie "Ratchet"
Interesting artist name here… Let's see how this joint gon sound 'cause I'm anticipated for it! >>> Lots of Boosie songs here! This iz another one and ID Error No. 10: Lil' Boosie's not listed as "featured artist" on this joint. $10,000 + tax for a Boosie verse according to him; that's a lot. Nice Baton Rouge beat wit a good vibe to this shit! Great verse and nice hook too. Tha 2nd verse starts off very "ratchetish" wit all those "ratchet" adjectives. Great 2nd verse too. What's wit tha "do tha Ratchet" shit in tha hook? This doesn't sound like a dancin' song. Uh oh, ID Error No. 11: Webbie's on tha 3rd verse and not listed. Webbie could've went "2 or 3" if he would've made a better "SL2" CD 'cause it didn't do well. Nice consistantness wit that Boosie hook! My Rating: 4.3


16. Mookie Feat. Sam I Am "Brown & White"
Always got faith for No. 16 and this time, it looks like a drug topic so REALLY anticipated to hear what this joint gon sound like!! >>> 10:02 ON THA LENGTH?!? Shit, my neck iz hurtin' from these reviews but it's all good! I guess that's tha faith I unexpectedly got from No. 16!! Watch there be tons of ID errors (nah, I'm bein' sarcastic). Nice hook start and I'm curious what this gon start off! There's an error already: ID Error No. 12: Sam I Am came outta nowhere towards tha hook and tha 1st verse! Wow, REAL, REAL NICE 1st verse start wit Sam I Am! SO FUCKIN' FAST WIT THAT RAPPIN'!!! Easily one of tha best verses on this mixtape!! SO FUCKIN' TIGHT!!!!! Glad he's on that hook! Great 2nd verse too on this shit! Real nice shit!! It sounds like it's over and there's 6 minutes left… Neva mind, it sounds like tha shit got mo gutta wit that "slaughterhouse" shit around tha 4:15 mark. REALLY LIKIN' that GUTTA-ASS "bow, bow, bow…" parts! I guess that's another error 'cause it sounds like someone else… It's VERY, VERY TIGHT though!! GREAT 3rd verse from whoeva that iz!!! This iz some INSANE SHIT right here!! FINALLY, a special No. 16 song again!! What's gonna happen on tha 4th verse? I like that "I'm a fuckin' block party, I'm closin' yo street" line. Great 4th verse and just lovin' that hook! It sounds better than that 1st hook wit that "fulla dat brown…fulla dat white" part. Wow, this shit just DOESN'T END!! It's only at 8:20 outta 10:02 and just still goin'!! There's a 5th verse on this… I like that "Rap GED" line. Great shit all tha way through! Shouldn't this be like a double-titled song (e.g., somethin' like "Brown & White / Slaughterhouse"). Either way, great job right here! It beat Young Ready's rating on this mixtape so that's real strong!! My Rating: 4.9


17. Thug Brothers "Gone Jigg Then"
Iz tha uptempo shit gonna continue? I'm STILL lookin' forward to this shit!! >>> Nice beat so far… 1st verse iz soundin' good too; likin' this shit here! Great 2nd verse too… Tha shit was nice and consistant that I was playin' my video game, not realizin' tha shit ended so fast. Pretty nice hook too and good shit here. My Rating: 4.0


18. 2 Gutta "Bing Bing Bam Bam"
What could this shit sound like? >>> It took a few seconds of silence but Beat Flippa iz on tha track here… LOL… What's this? *Cracks a smile* Looks like this person ain't playin'! SO MUCH "bingin'" and "bammin'." It's a girl (or should I say a "female jiggulator")!! Nice 1st verse but just lovin' that hook! So she's a pill poppa too? She "ate a lot of pills" according to tha 2nd verse. Nice shit though. I'm enjoyin' this shit right here! My Rating: 4.4


19. J John "Break Yo Back"
I guess I have to do this since there's nothin' after No. 18 on tha back cover: ID Error No. 13: No. 19 iz missin' from tha tracklisting. Let's see how this joint gon sound anyway! I predict it gon be good! >>> Nice Shontae beat and that random female in tha hook sounded nice. Good shit so far wit that nice beat and that hook. Tha female "has no backbone." Great 1st verse and this iz a real fast jam right here! Tha 2nd verse keeps tha consistantness coming… Damn, I don't even have to review this shit; it's too consistant wit all tha rappin' and tha track itself! My Rating: 4.3


20. Mr. Magic Feat. Lil' Boosie "I Smoke, I Drank"
ID Error No. 14: No. 20 iz missin' from tha tracklisting also. Anyway, iz this what I think it iz? >>> Yeah. What's this VERY OLD thing on here for?? This dude jacked tha "do it big" from Webbie if I'm not mistaken. BTW, if that's how it looks on tha ID, it's "I Smoke, I Drank" so that's ID Error No. 15. Nice 1st verse I guess. I like tha remix a lot better (and I remember that 2nd verse a whole lot). I liked how tha Youngbloodz were on tha remix; that really got me into tha track. I would've neva guessed this was a Louisiana song but wow, it iz. I always loved this song though. Up, Boosie's on this too so ID Error No. 16 'cause he's not listed on tha mp3 on here. So he was in tha background on tha remix (didn't realize that for a while). Good shit to remember again! Nice lil' endin' Way3000. My Rating: 4.8


Overall: End Time: 4:47 PM. That was 2 hours and 11 minutes? Damn, that felt like forever… Anyway, this was a REAL NICE mixtape right here (a lil' better than tha "Got Pills?" one I listened to). I'm lookin' at tha back cover and I noticed that tha "Jigg City Rockstars" mixtape was out already before this one (since it's on tha cover). I guess I should've reviewed that one first but it's all good 'cause I'm reviewin' that one next! I'm definitely lookin' forward to tha next 2 mixtapes (that one and tha "Got Pills? 2" today)! Oh, and no songs got under a 4.0 rating so this mixtape was pretty much perfect for me!
