Review #152: Young Bleed & Freize "Off Tha Curb"

Reviewed on 11.09.2008 (Review No. 152)


Watz fuckin' good this ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog wit my 3rd and final review for tha day! I don't know these dudes but they reppin' Louisiana (of course; that's why I downloaded it). Their names are Young Bleed & Freize and I got their CD, "Off Tha Curb," I finna review. Without anymore delays, here goes my review for Young Bleed & Freize "Off Tha Curb"! Somethin' tells me I'm expectin' REAL GOOD!! Also, I'm gonna say this on every review I do for a while: FOR ANYONE READIN' THIS: Go check out my brand new music video, "Change Tha World," featuring Tha Wennipearl (my cousin Jen)!! It's a great song (written and produced by me) and a REAL GREAT music video (directed and 100% edited by me)! | Start Time: 7:59 PM | Video Game Playing: The Legend Of Zelda – Ocarina Of Time (for Nintendo 64) (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 #152) reviewed on 11.09.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "Keep It Hood"
Wow, I'm SO fuckin' tired right now!! I hope this CD can be SHOCKIN' enough to keep me awake!! I'm anticipated to hear some new shit from Louisiana!! >>> Ooh REAL GOOD beat intro!! Hearin' tha "I gotta 'keep it hood' witcha" part in tha hook and it's soundin' nice and catchy. Glad tha dude on tha 1st verse iz "tryna keep a bank roll." That was a nice 1st verse and now, I'm hearin' tha 2nd verse… This dude on tha 2nd verse sounds real cool to listen to. Great 2nd verse and I'm likin' this ½ Baton Rouge/½ 318 shit! Sounds a lil' like Jody Breeze on tha 3rd verse but I know that's tha dude on tha 1st verse; great shit again! This iz a tight jam right chea. I like tha "deal wit my struggles" part in tha hook; too bad you got struggles. My Rating: 4.4


02. "Top Dropped"
Let's see how this shit gon sound wit tha "top dropped" even though I don't have a car… >>> Ooh, 5:19 on tha length! Hearin' a "Throw Some D's" sample in tha hook (different part of it than what otha peeps use). It sounds good and that beat iz RAW!! Tha 1st verse of course iz tight, especially since it's consistantly to tha topic of tha title. 100% great 1st verse right chea. Likin' tha beginnin' of tha 2nd verse; great start to it so far! He sounds like he's high, havin' a REAL good time right now; that's really watz good! Hearin' tha 3rd verse and it's still nice; up, tha otha dude iz on tha 3rd verse too. He's definitely great at bein' a rapper. He's always in a good mood to rap about what he feels and that's watz good. This was a nice, smooth jam right chea. Oh, it's still goin' wit a lil' ova 30 seconds left… I like that lil' part, "tha bitch got my dawg…" My Rating: 4.3


03. "By Da Tree"
Interesting title… Hope it has to do wit smokin' some good shit; high anticipation level! >>> This iz pretty cool soundin' so far wit anotha smooth beat and a pretty jammin' 1st verse. Tha hook ain't that bad/it's jammin' (as usual). Hearin' tha 2nd verse right now and it sounds like it's a hustlin' type of verse. Glad that dude doin' it for err-one by goin' err-where. I guess that was Freize (wit tha Jody Breeze type of voice) and Young Bleed iz tha one I really like; now I got that cleared up. Yeah, my dude Bleed iz on tha 3rd verse! Nice shit, 'specially wit tha "it's a tsunami ova here" part. This iz anotha catchy joint right chea. My Rating: 3.9


04. "A Thug"
"A"notha interesting title; curious to hear what y'all got to say! >>> Ooh, slow/old type of intro. It's 4:26 so this should be good! DAMN, my dude Bleed soundin' REAL GOOD wit how he rapped that hook; nice and laid back!! Hearin' Freize spit about that "mary jane" and all that good shit he rockin' (tha "black tee, black dickies, fitted hat"). Glad y'all got yo swag up and keep it up. REALLY FEELIN' THAT HOOK, ya dig!! Yeah, Bleed on tha 2nd verse! Cool "spread it out like peanut butter" part in that verse. REAL GREAT endin' to tha verse; REALLY liked tha "hit/hit back" part when referin' to smokin'. Great 3rd verse part from Freize! OOH SHIT, there's a 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse and Bleed's on it! Yeah, I "definitely fuck wit it" (this shit that iz). My Rating: 4.6


05. "Where I'm From" Feat. Vicious of X-Mob (UGK Records)
…LOUISIANA!! Yeah!! Definitely have my anticipation high for this joint! >>> Ooh good, it's 5:13 on tha length and its got a nice, Dirty South vibe to tha beginning! I like tha "got problems like tha Jena 6" (sp?) part in tha hook; great thinkin'. A nice part on tha 1st verse; great to start this shit off! Some tight shit on that 2nd verse; real shit I'm hearin' right now! WOW, REAL TIGHT SHIT bein' spit on tha 3rd verse right now!!! I thought there was gonna be a 4th verse but I was wrong. Either way, this iz definitely jammin' right chea and LOL @ all my reviews for each track endin' wit "right chea." My Rating: 4.3


06. "Hustle Hard"
Great follow-up title to tha previous, or should I say "ALL of," tha titles on this bitch! High anticipation on this shit too!! >>> Keepin' these long lengths comin' (4:39). Decent beat start so far but I can't tell what I'll think of it… It's a lil' soft but I'm hearin' Bleed spit that motivating hook and that's nice. I'm glad Bleed's "blowin' that good weed, havin' a good time;" I'm glad you're havin' your own positive times. Tha 1st verse was pretty nice; I'm gonna try and get into that beat (it's ridin' regardless). Let's hear what Freize has to say on tha 2nd verse… Yeah, he's just as motivated as Bleed; great lyrics tryna help your family out! Nice 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse from Bleed and not bad 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse from Freize. My Rating: 3.8


½time: What I expected pretty much happened… This iz off to a REAL NICE start and I'm REALLY enjoyin' tha shit Young Bleed has to offer! Keep this shit up and I HOPE tha next 6 are just as good!!


07. "I'm Out Here"
Reminds me of your typical Louisiana type of titles (like Down Bad's title called "I'm Out Chea"). I expect this to be good too! >>> 4:42 on tha length (keepin' these long jointz comin')!! Ooh, cool lyrics about tha "trap" and tha "streets" in tha hook! Freize startin' off wit tha hook and tha 1st verse… That's cool that he said "dawg" twice; I like when rappers say that in they rhymes. That was a nice 1st verse. Let's hear what my dawg Bleed has to offer on tha 2nd verse… Real cool that he "sparks it up." Definitely a nice 2nd verse from him! Pretty nice 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse from Freize. Oh, I didn't expect my dawg Bleed on tha 2nd ½ (I didn't expect a 2nd ½). Of course, he just NEVA disappoints wit his rhymes and how he raps! This hook iz becomin' cool on this shit and I'm definitely feelin' it! My Rating: 4.2


08. "Get Slummed Up" Feat. Ms. Jones
Pretty neat that there's no features so far (I bet'cha there iz none). Tha title looks cool so we'll see what's "up"… >>> Ooh, shorter this time wit only 3:13 on tha length… Ooh, y'all are gonna "get fucked up" and "light tha blunt" and otha shit like that? Shit, tha hook's here…!! Unexpectedly comin' at me without preparin' anticipation!! WHAT A REAL GREAT 1st verse!!! "Fucked up" parts + sayin' "dawg" at least 4 times; WOW! GREAT SHIT Freize!! Up, you said "dawg" again; that's 5 in one verse!! Likin' tha "weed/pill" parts too; this iz GOIN' CRAZY, or should I say, "GOIN' RETARDED" now!!!!! CRAZY-ASS HOOK!!! DYIN' TO HEAR what Young Bleed has to say… Oh no, it's not him; it's some Ms. Jones girl on tha 2nd verse… I'm gonna put her in tha ID; she did a pretty nice job but c'mon, I rather've heard my dawg Bleed on that verse! Ooh, I'm hearin' him on tha last hook so that's watz good; glad he's not left out! My Rating: 4.8


09. "Like Dis"
Okay, I just looked back online where I got this CD from and on tha mp3s, it didn't say tha features. I missed a feature on No. 5 so I'm gonna fix it… LOL @ there sayin' no feature on No. 8 when there was; that's why I'm here to give credit! Anyway, back to "dis;" let's hear this joint and see if I "like" it, lol! >>> Cool Dirty South start… Freize havin' a real catchy hook right here! Jammin' 1st verse from him as well! Already, Bleed's on tha 2nd verse! Yeah, "Louisiana off tha handle;" I agree! Great 2nd verse from him as he neva disappoints me; still really feelin' that hook! Iz it gonna be a ½ and ½ 3rd verse? Soundin' pretty nice wit Freize on it so far… Up, I hear my dawg Bleed!! Yeah, it's a ½ and ½ of tha 3rd verse! Likin' that "gettin' high to tha sky" part. Definitely catchy shit right chea. My Rating: 4.3


10. "Sipp'n"
Should be a nice follow-up to that No. 8 joint on here; lookin' forward (as usual)!! >>> Anotha cool beat intro right chea. Tha beat iz DEFINITELY kickin' in better!! Ooh, likin' tha repetitiveness of tha "sippin' (x3)/smokin' (x3)/rollin' (x3)/grindin' (x3);" REAL, REAL NICE hook!!! Yeah, "y'all some muthafuckaz;" I agree. REALLY likin' tha end of tha 1st verse from Freize, doin' tha ma'fuckin' thang!!! My ma'fuckin' dawg Bleed iz up next… YEAH!!!!!!!!!! Nothin''s really outstandin' so far…; wow… It was jammin' but nowhere near Freize's verse!! Wow, that hook just CARRIES THIS JOINT A LONG WAY!!! Yeah, Freize sayin' tha "sip my drank, smoke my weed…" part again for tha bridge. Definitely was feelin' this shit throughout tha whole way, even though Bleed's part could've been better. What happened at tha end? It sounded like it cut off (unless it was a REAL cold ending)? My Rating: 4.6


11. "Welcome 2 Louisiana"
Anotha great title and looks like it'll remind me of tha "Where I'm From" title (since they're alike). I'm havin' anticipation for this!! >>> Anotha joint back 2 back wit 4:00 as tha length. Likin' tha beat intro to this one so far! Pretty nice 1st verse from Freize. LOL @ that hook… A lil' unexpected… What does that have to do wit tha title? Hearin' Bleed on tha 2nd verse… Ooh, he said "dawg" and this was tha 1st time I heard him say that; that's watz good. Pretty nice jammin' verse as it's hard to not move to it. Good job Bleed on this shit; looks like anotha unknown ID as I don't know who's on tha hook. Oh, now I hear tha end of tha hook wit tha "Louisiana streets, dawg" part; that sounded cool and it makes sense now. Now, I'm hearin' Freize on tha 3rd verse… He's tha 318 representa. My dawg Bleed iz tha 225 representa? That's REALLY watz good 'cause I MUTHAFUCKIN' LOVE BATON ROUGE people!!!!! Great combo on tha 3rd verse; nice shit as this shit was fast! My Rating: 4.0


12. "Grimmy"
Tha last joint!! I HOPE it's as "grimmy" as it gets!! >>> Ooh, Baton Rouge type of start in tha beat! Definitely a great hook wit that GREAT beat, catchy hook and tha cool hook. I like that "my pants hang low/let my ass show" part in tha hook; always gotta luv tha swag styles. Great 1st verse and still lovin' that hook! Who's that "17 year old" on tha 2nd verse? She sounds like she's in tha mood to let her raps out! She had a "grimmy" attitude when it came to that verse; sorry I don't know who she iz for her to appear in tha ID (right now). Up, this iz tha last time I'm gonna hear Bleed for a while. I'm glad he's "fresh out tha locker" and I like how he said "ya heard me." I also like tha "slurpee" part. Great 3rd verse and nice joint! My Rating: 4.5


Overall: End Time: 9:12 PM. Well, what can I say? I LOVE listenin' to new artists (new to me that iz), ESPECIALLY FROM LOUISIANA!!! This was a smooth, TIGHT, kick-ass CD!! I hope y'all like this review and I want you to do 4 words: keep doin' yo thang!!
