Reviewed on 6.30.2009 (Review #248)

Wat up? Ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog iz back up in tha buildin', ya dig! Time to get into this next review... Naw, it ain't from Louisiana, but it's for my boy L.B. a.k.a. L-Bain! Yup, tha dude that runs everyone's FAVORITE site for Southern music ( http://www.wordofsouth.com ) has dropped a CD!! Not only iz it not Rap, not R&B, but it's Slut-N-B; OOH!! Lookin' REAL forward to hearin' this (I heard from others that this shit iz funny; thumbs up)!! Without anymo talkin', here goes my review fa L-Bain "The Last Resort"! Start Time: 10:53 AM | End Time: 12:07 PM

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!

 

 

© 2009 CD Review (Review #248) reviewed on 6.30.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "The Last Resort (Intro)"
Tha big start... Let's see what goes down here... >>> I like that beat start. You sound like Wes Fif in tha beginning (or Plies) wit tha "homie" part within tha first few seconds. I agree wit tha "shit's trash now" when it comes ta music right now. It may sound like a long intro fa some people, but when you talk knowledge on here, then I wanna listen ta what you gotta say! Now that tha intro's over, let's FINALLY hear some of your music!! My Rating: N/A


02. "It's Still Trickin'"
Looks like this gon be an interesting song; let's see... >>> Sounds like a slow start... After 34 seconds, here comes tha hook. I think it sounds pretty good/a lil' funny on how it sounds. Tha 1st verse sounds good. LOL @ tha "every night, when I go ta sleep, I think of my disease." Good job on tha 1st verse, and LOL @ tha "you're bad just like your credit;" GREAT line!! Sounds like a featured person on tha 2nd verse... Pretty good on tha 2nd verse, regardless. Here comes tha 3rd verse here. Ooh, "immune to tha coochie;" glad they said "coochie!" Not bad for tha 1st 1/2 of tha 3rd verse. It sounds like you on tha 2nd 1/2 of tha 3rd verse here... It sounded good also; I like tha attitude applied. Nice talkin' outro, and LOL @ tha Auto-Tuned title at tha end. My Rating: 3.9


03. "3-Second Violation"
"3 seconds?" More like 49x "3 seconds" 'cause it's 2:27 on tha length, lol. This looks interesting, and I'm assumin' it's a song? >>> I think tha same dude from tha last song iz producin' this song. This beat intro sounds MUCH betta!! Tha intro sounds interesting, and makes me wanna know what's gonna happen on this song, lol. I like that singin' on tha hook, lol. Great job on deliverin' tha singin'/lyrics on here. Nice job on that 1st (and only) verse on here. That hook iz just catchy, and gets my thumbs up! My Rating: 4.3


04. "4 Pack" Feat. Ill Essense
Okay, here's a featured person cited (so this must be an official featured artist). Glad to see a "4" title in tha #"4" joint on this CD, lol. Wit 5:01 on tha length, this should have some humor, and make me enjoy this shit; let's see... >>> OMG, lol @ tha beat start; outta space, lol? Nah, just playin'. That's what it reminded me of when it started. Ooh, it kicked in at :28. Sounds like random internet rappin' in tha hook, lol. Nice regular Nintendo type of beat here, lol (in a good way). Here comes tha 1st verse wit you on it... LOL @ "oral presentation." Even tha snappin' at 1:23 ain't botherin' me, so you KNOW you're doin' yo thang on these songs! I like that "like you're workin' fo ya rent" part; LOL @ tha "choo choo." Right before tha 2nd verse, it sounded GREAT wit tha sex scene'd type lyrics (wit tha "nuttin'" part, lol). Tha 2nd verse (Ill Essense) iz off to a great start; tha dude sounds pretty cool, so thumbs up on how he sounds (as well as what he spittin'). Great job from Ill on tha 2nd verse, doin' tha damn thang! Only 2 verses? LOL... Glad after tha talkin' that it ended wit tha hook again. My Rating: 4.0


05. You Ain't Shit (Interlude)
My cousin Jacqueline's birthday on tha length!! LOL (1:21)!! Looks like a title where you don't give a fuck about tha next person; let's see... >>> Again, anotha nice beat in tha background; sounds like one of those inside forests type music, lol. Sounds like a funny song (and sounds like Nina Sky). Great job from tha female in tha beginning, and LOL @ your part. LMAO @ her "nigga, you ain't shit, but yo dick sho' iz" part!! I guess that was just a lil' interlude, so, no rating. My Rating: N/A
EDIT: Weird that I called it an "interlude" and not a skit 'cause I was basin' tha title off tha mp3 (and not tha back cover). It says "(Interlude)" on tha back cover, so smh @ me...


06. "Rappers Slut" Feat. Spark Dawg & Ju1ce (The Replacementz)
Do you mean " 's "? Then again, we'll see when I hear it. I know you, a web designer, wouldn't make errors. But now, we got Spark Dawg, a WOS forum member on tha feature wit this Ju1ce dude (wit a "1" in his name), so this should be interesting! >>> Spark startin' it off... LOL @ "we slut 'em out!" Good job, Spark, wit makin' "her go from wet, wet to damp, damp." Great job, Spark, on tha 1st verse! I KNEW somethin' was gonna be up wit tha hook, and it gave me a nice smile on my face, ESPECIALLY wit tha way it went wit tha beat! I thought I was right about tha error, but tha "slut" can be called a "Rappers Slut" while also bein' a "rapper's slut" too. That Ju1ce dude on tha 2nd verse, applyin' that good shit to tha track too, so thumbs up! Yea, that hook again!! My Rating: 4.7


07. "Come On Over"
Who KNOWS what'll happen when tha gurl "comes on over," lol!! >>> Ewe, that voicemail shit in tha beginning, lol. Yea, more consistency here, as L-Bain, you're singin' slower here! Glad this came right afta that "Rappers Slut" song!! Definitely feelin' tha hook, as it's nice and hypnotizin', lol. Startin' tha 1st verse wit Auto-Tune. Not gonna criticize it here 'cause it sounds like I'm more interested in how tha song's lyrics/storyline's goin', lol. You sound like one of those Sesame Street characters wit tha voice on here, lol. Glad you had tha 1st CD review I'm doin' today 'cause it really uplifted my tired-ass 'cause I was real tired gettin' up today, but I KNEW I had ta review! REAL GREAT job on tha 1st verse!! Ooh, switchin' up to tha rappin' at 2:06! I like tha "eat you up like food" part at 2:26. I did like tha singin' better on here, but tha rappin' ain't stoppin' tha topic! Anotha one wit only 2 verses... Could've had anotha verse, but at least you're supplin' talkin' at tha end. Ooh, neva mind, tha hook iz here again (right before tha song ends)! My Rating: 4.4


½time: Well, it seems like this CD has everything it needs ta apply to tha Slut-N-B genre! Luvin' tha singin', as well as some of tha rappin'! Glad you had featured some rappers, so thumbs up ta that! I can just imagine how much further we're gonna go into tha genre wit tha last 8 songs! Average CD rating iz currently 4.3!


08. "Go On In" Feat. Young Legend a.k.a. Bol Johnson
Looks like this Young Legend wants ta be tha next John Legend, lol? Wit this genre, it may happen, Slut-N-B style, lol!! Lookin' forward ta hearin' this one too!! >>> Sounds like a slower beat start here, but it sounds like you're ready ta "go on in" for tha females here, lol. Nice, slow hook here. It sounded decent 'til I heard tha title; "we finna go on in... on sum sluts!" Switchin' studio time fa booty time, lol? Sex can wait at times. I'd rather go in tha studio right now 'cause I luv makin' music. Not bad on tha 1st verse. Here comes that Young Legend dude on tha 2nd verse, soundin' like OJ wit his "I'm gettin' honeys, I'm gettin' sluts" part. Good job from Young Legend on his part. LOL @ your "hey, hey, hey..." part. Now, this part from you iz Auto-Tune. Regardless, at least "skeetin'" iz goin' on in that part, so tha sex game can apply, lol. IDK about that ending wit tha OJ type part again, but at least it's slutable, lol! My Rating: 3.8


09. "Share You" Feat. Wes Fif
I got this song earlier in tha year (when you posted it on tha board), which feels like millions of years ago 'cause it was before Nu$$ie died. I didn't put it in rotation, although based off of tha songs on here, I feel that many of tha songs on here were better than this song. But, lemme rehear this song. >>> Okay, here comes that hook I remember. This was tha introduction to Slut-N-B fa me, and I remember tha hook bein' a lil' funny/good wit tha way it sounded. Here comes you on tha 1st verse. Now, I'm rememberin' you soundin' like Wes Fif on this verse here. Glad you had them sexual lyrics goin' on in tha 1st verse, so thumbs up ta that! Here's tha Fif dude on tha 2nd verse... Glad he applied tha sexualness into tha verse (LOL @ tha "luv tha way my nut taste"). I rather bein' sucked on tha dick than tha nuts 'cause I'm ticklelish (LOL) on tha nuts, ESPECIALLY suckin'!!! OMG, that must feel crazy!!! I liked his "slobb" part too, lol. He DEFINITELY had a nice verse, lol. Thought it was Fif on tha 3rd verse, but it's you. LOL, "SWALLOW THA SEMEN!!!" OMG!!! LOL!!! Talk about crazy! Also, tha rest of tha verse sounded great too! My Current Rating: 3.9


10. Damn Brah (Skit)
Although "dawg"'s one of my favorite slang terms (and has been), "brah/bruh" will be one of my BIG favorites now, ESPECIALLY since all my Louisiana peeps say it; FUCKIN' LUV IT!! Lookin' forward to it in this skit; will it be to a gurl, Slut-N-B style? LOL... >>> Tha dude on tha message sounds mad about a lil' Slut-N-B style that went on without him knowin'. I luved his "dawg/brah" parts though. Interesting skit. My Rating: N/A


11. "I Wouldn't" Feat. Max Minelli
"I wouldn't"'ve GUESSED there was a Louisiana person on here!!!!! Just when I thought I took a break from a Louisiana CD (which I neva do), there's a Louisiana person here, so you KNOW it's Louisiana 100% of tha time wit me! Wit a NICE 4:57 on tha length, I can't imagine how sexual this song gon be...!! >>> Sounds like anotha slow song wit tha start here. Tha beat iz gettin' betta towards tha :13 area around. Tha beat sounds a lil' like "Born N Raised" in tha hook? Interesting hook too; I like it. You on tha 1st verse, always deliverin' tha Slut-N-Bness! Feelin' tha sex-type lyrics in tha 1st verse; nice job, Bain, lol! OMG, OUTTA NOWHERE, Max Minelli on tha 2nd verse, lol!! Of course, deliverin' his great lyrics and flow on this verse here!! Great ta hear this voice on this track!! You KNOW if you a female, you EASILY fallin' in luv wit this Max Minelli verse; feel tha attention of him!! Great job on that 2nd verse right there, Max! Yea, finally, a 3rd verse! Speakin' of "gettin' a text so damn early," my gurl from college (Alexia) texted me at 3:33 AM (latest text message I got) yesterday, lol! That was WATZ GOOD (even though it was just about Twitter; it woke me up in a good mood from my sleep). Nice job on tha 3rd verse too, keepin' tha song consistent. So, what was it like workin' wit Max Minelli on this? How did this collaboration come about? My Rating: 4.1


12. "I Know You Know" Feat. Tha TC & Lil' T
More new featured peeps... Well, unless Lil' T iz different from tha Lil' T from "Shaniqua" from 2001. Anyway, it looks like this may be a great joint (again) wit 5:05 on tha length! >>> Sounds like a nice, somewhat Early 2000's influence in tha beat start here. LOL @ tha hook; anotha FUNNY soundin' hook!! LMAO @ "this dick right here not gon suck itself!" Here comes tha 1st verse, openin' up to some sexual lyrics here! LOL @ breakin' tha shyness from tha gurl that wants ta have sex wit a hard dick, lol!! Nice job on that 1st verse, fa real!! REALLY shows tha sexualness of tha style of tha genre!! Let's see tha 2nd verse here... I like tha start to Tha TC's voice here; sounds cool. He kept it trill wit his verse, so thumbs up ta him. Lil' T comin' up here on tha 3rd verse... Not bad fa tha start, but he's applyin' more sexual lyrics here than tha 2nd verse, so thumbs up. My Rating: 3.9


13. "I'm That" Feat. Yung O
Should be some mo great shit, especially 3:26 on tha length (tha day [in 2001] where I won $200 on a $2 scratch-off lottery ticket)!! >>> More of a gangsta style of tha hook here wit tha "strap cocked back" part. Still, tha sexualness continues also wit tha "yo bitch on my sack! She suckin'..." part! Startin' off wit that Yung O dude on tha 1st verse here... Nice emerge into tha verse; he doin' his thang! You on tha 2nd verse here, doin' a decent job here. I like how tha hook ended towards tha end wit tha title (and tha beat havin' a cold ending). My Rating: 3.7


14. Still Ain't Shit (Skit)
LOL... Lookin' forward to this skit/shit, lol (I typed both words by accident, and just kept 'em there)! >>> Raw gurl on tha voice message here... A lil' bitta jealousy, but it's Slut-N-B, so... My Rating: N/A


15. Epic Meat (Outro)
LOL, endin' it wit a title like that, lol!! >>> LOL @ how you sound on here wit sayin' that title too! Like that beat too! Nice job on this, including tha talkin' at tha end. My Rating: N/A


Overall: DEFINITELY somethin' I enjoyed right here!! You did yo OWN thang on this shit wit yo OWN genre and shit; THUMBS UP!! Keep WOS alive, and keep doin' yo thang!! This CD iz for everybody!
