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!

Intro
Let’s
see how long it takes for me to get cheered up… >>> Real good intro. I
really like all tha lyrics representin’ you (T-Bo), and Baton Rouge. :tu Where has DJ Scrap been? I
feel like he fell off tha face of tha Earth… He neva gave me feedback on my
review for his “I Run Louisiana” mixtape after he was, “supposed to call me
back.” I have a feelin’ this’ll be a real good mixtape! BTW, this looks like
this gon be tha very last review I’m doin’ for 2008! My Rating: N/A
02.
“300 Degreez”
Hope
it’s this hot… FYI, if you take off one of tha 0’s, it’s a lil’ under that many
degreez right now on Long Island. >>>
Sounds like a sample to “Separate
Ways” in tha beginning wit tha music (I know that
‘cause of Dee Robert’s HOT vocal trance song, “Separate Ways,” which was a cover of tha
old song, in 2002; it had that beginning as music between tha verses). This
sounds HOT on a Hip-Hop beat, and for Mr. GUTTA T-Bo!! VERY HOT 1st
verse, and “ON FIRE!!!” hook! Any white boy(z) from Baton Rouge ALWAYS spit
FLAMES, and have FLAMIN’ HOT tracks when it comes to their songs!!! CRAZY 2nd
verse!!! “300 Degreez” ain’t THAT
hot, compared to Juvie and Wayne’s
other titles. This should be like, “1,000 Degreez.” Startin’ on tha 3rd
verse, I really like how you spelled, “Louisiana,”
when you said, “L-O-U-I-S-I-A-N-A.” :tu That 3rd verse was just as
great as tha otha ones; you’re DEFINITELY “ON FIRE!!!!!” I think I’m in a
better mood now; thanx! My Rating: 4.9
03.
“Call Tha Police” Feat. Sam I Am & Playboy
“HOLY
SHIT!!!” That was my reaction when I saw tha ID on this shit, including Sam I
Am bein’ a feature! I wonder how much shit I can comment on/quote from Sam I Am
within his verse!! VERY HIGH anticipation level here!!!!! >>> Nice
lil’ intro on this, especially wit tha type of sirens and tha police talkin’.
:tu That’s a RETARDED hook!! You’re on tha 1st verse… “Somebody call
tha muthafuckin’ police,” on you; you’re retarded!! This iz CRAZY so far! You
had a REAL GREAT verse on this shit! *Due to playin’ his video game
consistently, Frankie rewinds it back to tha hook again before Sam I Am comes
on, due to he wants to focus on him!* Already, Sam I Am startin’ it off REAL
GOOD; LOVE that, “Baton Rouge CITY!!,” part!! WHAT A GREAT FUCKIN’ ATTITUDE he
has!!!! Great “Desert Eagle” part! All tha CRAZY/RETARDED/ANGRY shit he just
spit was CRAZY!!! Looks like when I review your older shit, T-Bo, it gon look
REAL GREAT to hear!! Let’s hear this Playboy dude on tha 3rd verse…
“Flippin’ since he was 16,” huh? That’s watz good. My cuz was doin’ that shit
before 16, lol. That’s cool that, “T-Bo and Sam hit you up to get on this
track.” :tu Anotha REALLY GREAT joint!! My
Rating: 4.8
04.
“Pain & Pressure”
I
hope I like this song since it has that title… You BETTA deliver that raw/gutta
on this shit!! >>> Thank GOD it’s not boring as fuck! Tha beat intro
was pretty cool, and then, it had a Runners type of beat! This iz EASILY gon be
some HOT shit! Again, anotha GREAT verse! Cool hook… Tha title ain’t in it, so
that’s different/cool for this. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse now… Glad you,
“still jiggin’.” :tu Tha 2nd verse was nice to hear! Tha 3rd
verse seems pretty strong… Too bad you lost your parents and grandma. :( Even
though for stressin’, you shouldn’t be drinkin’ your life away. Just rap your
life away ‘cause tha rappin’ iz gettin’ you far; tha drinkin’ consistently
could affect your health in tha future. My
Rating: 4.5
05.
“Come Find Me”
Let’s
hear how you gon handle this joint by yourself, again… >>> I’m glad
tha beats are still knockin’ hard!! Seems like a delicious, in your
perspective, verse on tha 1st verse, since you, “eat dem haterz up!”
Guttaness continues as you delivered a TIGHT 1st verse! Tha hook iz
catchy, so that makes it pretty nice to add onto its statistics! Not bad on tha
2nd verse about tha female, even though it’s pretty typical when
rappers have to always bring up females in every CD of theirs… Only 2 verses? My Rating: 4.1
06.
“Fly Away”
Tha
title looks like it’ll depress me… It better not! >>> Yup, only a few
seconds in, and this ain’t 99% for me. Please, don’t, “put tha iron to your
face.” Are you aggravated from somethin’? I wonder what that interesting sample
iz on tha hook? Nice 2nd verse. No need to take all this shit ‘cause
my brother does take, *sounds it out* “Zanex,” and he’s throwin’ his life away.
Even though tha beat iz extremely boring for me, this has great lyrics at
least. Due to this bein’ more of a “lyrical” song, I will give it a “Lyrical
Rating” as well, so don’t mind my rating as this song was not for me. Lyrical Rating: 4.8
| My Rating: 2.5
07.
“When I’m Ridin’” Feat. Max Minelli & Bengie B
Yeah,
we’re FINALLY gettin’ back on track here!! High anticipation for tha collab!!
>>> Yes, PLEASE stick to this shit, and not tha depressin’/slow shit.
Jammin’-ass beat right here, and GREAT start wit nothin’ but tha BEST from Baton Rouge!! Seems like
a consistent start; GREAT 1st verse!! That hook seems familiar from
somewhere else, but this tha 1st time I’m hearin’ this; great hook.
Yes, Max on tha 2nd verse!! That’s right Max! I’m glad he, “acts an
ass, and leaves without a trace.” :tu I like that part where Max was rappin’,
and it was acapella a lil’. REAL nice attitude from Max, and GREAT 2nd
verse!! Let’s hear this Bengie B dude (not exactly sure if I know him)… For
some reason, it seems like I heard it before (wit tha Webbie and Young Ready
quotes). Again, more shit about my brother on this (where he said, “Zanex
bars”). He did his thang on tha 3rd verse; GREAT SHIT all together!!
Lemme see if I know it from somewhere… Aight, only 2 jointz came up when I
typed, “Bengie,” in my iTunes library… Well, no luck. I just don’t know where I
heard it from… My Rating: 4.6
08.
“Keep Hatin’”
This
one should go hard!! >>> Not sure of tha beat start… I expected
darker. Sounds a lil’ like Max on tha vocals on this one… Okay, beat izn’t too
bad on this; I can dig it. Not bad so far, but it sounds like a typical club
song… Yeah, only 2 verses on this shit too. Tha verses were okay for me… Maybe
this’ll need some growin’ time for me in tha future. My Rating: 3.5
09.
“Money Makin’ Mission”
Feat. Lil’ Witness
Now,
it’s a familiar title… I think one of my previous reviews had a “triple M”
title. Let’s hear how retarded it gets wit Lil’ Witness on it!! >>> Oh
wow, VERY GOOD start!! It didn’t even wait; at 0:00, it just revealed its
HOTNESS!! Catchy/dark/FLAMIN’ HOT hook!! Great verse from you as you always
show your raw side! That beat iz just TOOOOOOO TIGHT!!! Who are these producers
behind these tracks? 2nd verse iz you, again! I do HOPE you, “touch a million dollars next year,” ‘cause ’08 finna be over. Great 2nd verse;
you ALWAYS on yo shit! :tu GREAT to hear Witness on tha 3rd verse… I
ALWAYS have anticipation for tha GREAT featured rapper when it comes to
features on CDs/mixtapes! Deliverin’ those RAPID-FAST, CRAZY rhymes!!! His
“rappin’ dragon head” doesn’t stop wit all that fire! My Rating: 4.7
10.
“Beat It Up” Feat. Essa & Sam I Am
I
wonder who Essa iz… I can’t really say too much of what to expect from that
Essa person, but Sam I Am SURE gon tear this shit into 1,000+ PIECES!!! Let’s
hear how y’all “beat” this track “up!!” >>> Let’s hear how good you do
wit this female song also… Tha beginning showed some female elements. I like
how Sam I Am was a part of tha hook. :tu Pretty crazy lyrics for tha females
from that Essa dude on tha 1st verse! :tu Wow, Sam I Am already
comin’ up on tha 2nd verse… Slower rappin’ here, but still goin’
NUTS wit his attitude!! Yeah, “make tha pussy bite.” *Crunch* He did his thang,
fa’sho!! :tu Let’s hear tha patiently awaited verse from you on tha 3rd
verse… Nice verse, even though I have heard better from you on this CD. My Rating: 3.9
½time: Well, off to a REAL HOT
start here!! I’m really, REALLY feelin’ most of these jointz right here!! Tha
white boyz in Baton Rouge REALLY KNOW how to deliver that HEAT! I think due to
all tha stereotypin’ goin’ on about white dudes not bein’ able to rap good,
etc. etc.; that’s all wrong! Tha white boyz that TAKE it SERIOUS do they thang,
ESPECIALLY all tha white dudes I’ve heard in Baton Rouge so far (you, Southpaw,
Rackley, A-Mar, Dyl, and tha South Coast Coalition boyz), as well as One-i,
Jayroc, and anyone else I forgot from Louisiana. Keep up this HOT FIRE, and I
hope I give you some REAL HIGH ratings for tha 2nd ½!!
11.
“I’m Come Down” Feat. “B” & Playboy
Iz
tha title in a lil’ different form of a slang style here? It’s either defined
as “I’m” bein’ “I’mma,” or as “Come” bein’ “Comin’.” Let’s hear what we got
here… >>> Good, a long length of 4:46! Pretty nice start wit a decent
beat intro. That “I *insert words here* like money,” sayin’ iz gettin’ pretty
played out now. :td Well, looks like tha title iz defined as “come” bein’
“comin’.” That 2nd verse seems pretty nice. Iz “Zanex” mainly a
“white boy” thing? Really likin’ that 2nd verse wit tha smooth
flowin’ of tight club/party rhymes. :tu Hearin’ tha 3rd verse now…
Too much “hit tha club” shit goin’ on; a lil’ too much here. Again, it’s pretty
nice and smooth wit tha flowin’ of tight club/party rhymes. :tu Shit, that
stupid, “I ___, ___, and ___ like money,” shit again. My Rating: 4.2
12.
“If You Got A Problem”
Just
lookin’ at tha title already wants me to give it a 4.6+ rating; will it happen?
>>> I’m guessin’ not wit tha Yung Joc sample… Tha beat iz startin’ to
get pretty cool at :16. It’s gettin’ even cooler at :30! Good, hearin’ that
GUTTA start to tha 1st verse! You did yo thang on tha 1st
verse! REAL GREAT start to tha 2nd verse wit tha, “I’m eatin’
rappers to feed my blood thurst,” line; FUCKIN’ CRAZY-ASS SHIT!!!!! Nice joint
right here wit tha verses and tha beat; okay sample, but it serves its purpose.
My Rating: 4.3
13.
“Make Me Say Yeah”
Let’s
see if you can, “make me say, ‘yeah’,” wit this shit. >>> I had a
feelin’ somethin’ was gonna go wrong. C’mon now… This iz tha OFFICIAL 1st
failed song here (“Fly Away” wasn’t a “failed song;” it was REAL GOOD for
somethin’ (lyrical content), but not my style). That auto-toned, NOT ID’d
person on tha hook sounds extremely terrible. How does this mix wit tha GUTTA
shit on here? That beat even sounds a lil’ distorted/messed up in tha hook. You
sound like Plies on tha verses… Even a 3rd verse on this? C’mon…
Some of those other jointz on here could’ve used a 3rd verse. Sorry,
but I don’t take auto-tone shit serious AT ALL TIMES! Plus, I think it’s a
VIRUS when it hits Louisiana
rappers/singers/SONGS!! Oh yeah, and tha verses were too typical/plain. My Rating: 1.6
14.
“Welcome To Baton Rouge” Feat. Gabriel Saint
MUCH
BETTER/anticipating title that gets a LOT of thumbs ups from me!! Let’s hear
how good this joint iz!! >>> Tha beat sounds a lil’ bad so far… :( Tha
way you intro’d tha verse was pretty good wit tha, “fresh,” part. I like that
you mentioned, “girbauds,” in your 1st verse too. Tha hook iz pretty
nice, and catchy. Tha beat sounds too much like a “light” style, unlike tha
darker styled beats. Looks like Gabriel iz on tha 2nd verse… Not
bad, just decent. A better beat really needed to be here. My Rating: 3.3
15.
“Street Shit” Feat. “B”
Let’s
be real this time, okay? >>> Sounds like a Max Minelli type of beat
intro… Pretty good… Tha, “kidnap yo fuckin’ kid,” part was pretty gutta. A
47-50 year old guy went up to my cousin Jen, who’s just a lil’ older than me,
and said, “do you wanna go out wit me?” What a fuckin’ fag that dude must’ve
been! Anyway, tha hook iz pretty nice and cool. Let’s hear this 2nd
verse… Still comin’ through wit those nice rhymes. :tu Tha, “same clothes, 3
dayz, I’m on that flight,” part was good to hear in a verse. Who cares how many
dayz you got your clothes on; you’re grindin’. I’ve been rockin’ my black polo/blue
pants for 3 dayz now as well, lol. I stay fresh, regardless. Ooh, that “B” dude
came outta nowhere on tha 3rd verse… Cool voice. Great shit that was
spit here, and some mo’ shit for tha hood! :tu I like tha Max Minelli style in
this joint! I also like that, “street shit,” echo at tha end. :tu My Rating: 4.2
16.
“Murder” Feat. Kevin Gates
*Saw
Kevin Gates on tha ID 1st while listenin’ to The BPA Feat. David Byrne & Dizzee Rascal “Toe Jam” on Music
Choice Electronica, and just got a smile with anticipation* BTW, I have a lot
of faith in tha No. 16 joint, and recently, I did a review for Yung Sicka’s
“Paypa Talkin’ (At Its Finest)” CD, and Kevin Gates was on No. 16 as well;
CRAZY SHIT! And everytime I listen to any REAL GREAT rapper from Louisiana (e.g.,
Kevin Gates, Young Ready, Dee-1), I get that same feelin’ of listenin’ to Dance
music wit 133+ BPM (because just like wit Louisiana music barely doin’ much in
tha mainstream Rap scene these dayz, tha Dance music wit high BPMs are sadly,
rare now). But you and Gates should “MURDER” this joint down!!! Let’s hear what
I’ve been anticipating for for tha last…like 5 minutes!!!!! >>> Who’s
signature intro iz, “this iz a S__ production,?” I can’t quite understand their
name… Anotha joint that sounds very familiar. BTW, tha one that did this beat
also did Southpaw & Rackley “Gets No Better,” so that’s why I’m wonderin’;
still REAL BANGIN’!! A GUTTA intro to tha 1st verse from you!!! Very
familiar, but I can’t think if I heard in tha past. REAL RAW 1st
verse from you on this shit! *Excited voice* YES, Gates on tha 2nd
verse, already!!! I REALLY LIKE when rappers act out another person by
questionin’ themselves on songs. Just like wit Gates said at 2:06, “who was
right?” GREAT SHIT!! Such CRAZY hood lyrics from Gates on this shit!! He
DELIVERS that “murder” when it comes to rappin’!!! HOLY SHIT, HE JUST KEEPS
GOIN’!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An EXTREMELY GREAT verse (maybe one of tha best ones on
this CD)!! Oh shit, that’s it? No 3rd verse? This was too short… My Rating: 4.9
17.
“Jigg To The Left”
I’m
surprised I still don’t 100% know
what “jiggin’” iz… Iz it “movin’”? But, lemme hear your “jiggin’” type of
joint… >>> It seems like as each joint iz progressin’ on here, that
REAL GUTTA attitude on tha hook iz comin’ back (just like wit tha 1st
joint on here)!!! Really like tha hook, and tha vibe of this shit iz tight!
Great 1st verse, and now, it’s tha 2nd verse… I thought
you jacked someone when you said, “I’m out my draws, head, shoes, shirt,
socks,” but you’re tha one that said that earlier on this CD, so you just
jacked yourself. It’s all good though ‘cause at least you, “out your body.” My Rating: 4.2
18.
“Dat White Dude”
Not
just a CD title for you, but now, it’s tha title track! I didn’t expect there
to be a title track on here; that’s watz good! What will you bring to tha table
on this joint? >>> Who did that intro on this wit tha real deep voice?
That was REAL, REAL TIGHT wit tha, “Baton
Rouge, Louisiana,”
part!! Tha beat iz nice and slow, and that hook iz just WAY TOO CATCHY/GOOD!!!
Tha 1st verse iz tha truth, especially wit people that shouldn’t
care if you’re white; you’re a REAL GREAT rapper, so that’s all that matters!
Tha 2nd verse was REAL NICE wit all that “back in tha day” shit,
especially tha, “rockin’ golds since ’94,” part. I like how at tha end of tha
verse, it led into tha question, which iz tha hook/title. :tu GREAT job on this
shit! My Rating: 4.4
19.
“Once A Thug”
An
interesting title. I hope it pays off for me. Let’s hear tha guttaness!! >>> Good “pants saggin’/tattoos/look
on yo muthafuckin’ face” intro!!! I see tha “Ridin’ Spinners” sample iz in this
too. I like how I can clearly hear it say, “was once a thug…” I always thought
that sample said, “my spots are lucky, must be me;” that was back in 2003. Great
start to tha 1st verse wit tha shit goin’ on, includin’ tha,
“jiggin’ all night,” part. A “REAL thug”’s version of a verse performed by you
on tha 1st verse! :tu Decent/pretty good 2nd verse on
this shit. Keep tellin’ yo thugged out stories, ya dig! My Rating: 4.3
20.
“Go Whiteboy” Feat. South
Coast Coalition
LOL
@ tha title (wit tha “go”)! Let’s hear how we gon end this, especially wit tha
SCC!!! >>> Hearin’ a rockish intro just PROVES that this gon go REAL
HARD!! “Where tha whiteboyz at?” Right here, dawg; I’m white. What a “great
white boy anthem” right here, lol! I feel like this a “consistently goin’”
anthem for playin’ my video games. I hear Mista Matt on tha 2nd
verse… I always thought he had that cool, Fort Minor
voice. Real nice verse from him. Forgot to tell you how CATCHY that hook iz!
Love tha, “go whiteboy, go whiteboy, go!” part! Yeah, that 3rd verse
iz soundin’ pretty nice too! My Rating: 4.5
Overall: End Time: 11:46 PM. Well, you
DEFINITELY did yo thang on this CD here!! Only one song that just SO didn’t fit
on this bitch, but most definitely, there’s REALLY no reason for people,
ESPECIALLY me, to ask, “who’s dat white dude?” Keep doin’ yo thang, and I’m
lookin’ forward to tha future collaborations and shit! I hope you hook up wit
Young Ready, since you hooked up wit Kevin Gates on this CD! I also hope you
really like this review; merry “early” Christmas to you. I’m also glad to say
that I did around close to 130 reviews this year! I KNOW I’m gonna do at least DOUBLE of this year for 2009, so you
know I be on my grind!!
