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 #255)
reviewed on 7.04.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. "Intro"
Startin' this thang off; let's see here... >>> Feelin' tha intro here, and tha way you're rappin' in tha intro reminds me of Max Minelli right chea wit how he sounds. Feelin' tha rhymes here, as it's talkin' about people goin' commercial and shit, tha bad way. Nice start to what could be a good CD here! My Rating: 3.9
02. "50 Rules"
Looks like a great title! I'm lookin' forward ta hearin' these "rules" and shit, especially "50" of 'em! >>> Glad you're "pledge allegiancin'" in tha beginning ta err-one you wanna pledge allegiance to. Nice beat here, and I'm hearin' all tha rules (1-2 per each line), and it's soundin' REAL catchy!! Real nice job here, as all tha rules are true here! Yea, "Rule 20: Do wat you gotta do fa that money;" true shit. I like Rule 34, as it was "charge more fa shippin' & handlin';" nice. I like tha 39th rule, as you said, "if ya grind, ya gotta stay focused." A whole song of 1 verse right chea; NICE shit!! Reminds me of Dee-1 almost wit tha lyrical content! My Rating: 4.7
03. "Look Me In My Eyes"
Looks like this one gon be grimy; lookin' forward again! >>> Tha gunshot prepared me, and it sounds like this beat goin' hard!! This might be REAL grimy!! Anotha tight hook right chea wit that TIGHTNESS!! Here comes tha 1st verse here, and your eyes are "bloodshot red from all tha purple;" I feel you on that! You doin' yo thang on tha 1st verse right chea; non-stop tight shit right chea! Definitely a great 1st verse, and that 2nd verse iz comin' up, and I'm REALLY lookin' forward ta it!! I guess you're 25 years old since you said "25 years of pain." Why does every underground rapper (pretty much) have ta live a whole life of pain? Thingz gettin' REAL gangsta at 2:44 wit tha choppa blastin', as well as tha line rewindin'! Felt that 2nd verse as soon as it got real gangsta! I knew there was gonna be a long beat outro here ('cause 40+ seconds wasn't enough fa a 3rd verse). I'm glad it's not just tha beat, and that there's mixin' mixin' in tha outro. Nice outro wit "you're now listenin' ta Certified Muzik...!" My Rating: 4.6
04. "Problem Solver"
Shorter song here (2:48), but it looks like tha heat gon continue!! >>> Yea, these beats go hard!! Anotha GREAT song here wit tha hook goin' off too!! Yea, "solve those problems!" You sound like Juvenile a lil' on tha 2nd 1/2 of tha hook. Gangsta lyrics goin' on here in tha 1st verse; nothin' but TIGHT gangsta shit!! What's tha reversed lyric at :53? Even from 1:04 - 1:06? You doin' sum gangsta shit; no need fa censored shit! But either way, retarded 1st verse right there; str8 gangsta! Tha 2nd verse here now, and it continuin' ta be pretty good. I feel it less gangsta than tha 1st verse, but you know I enjoy this shit, so that's watz good! My Rating: 4.4
05. "Come & See 'Bout Me" Feat. Hurricane Chris
Ooh, Hurricane Chris on this; I wonder how this gon turn out? >>> Sounds like Hurricane goin' off on that hook; he ain't fuckin' playin' wit his attitude, lol! That fast rappin' from him on tha 1st verse here! He deliverin' a lotta gangsta shit wit tha "pistols" and shit that he be spittin'! Real nice verse from him on this shit!! I wonder how you'll contribute ta this shit?! I thought Hurricane sounded betta, but it still sounds real good on your end! I liked your "posted" part in your verse; that's what started ta makin' it sound betta. Great shit right chea! My Rating: 4.3
06. "See No Evil"
Anotha nice title, and this song iz 4:30+ on tha length!! >>> Mo consistent shit fa my ears, ya feel me! Sounds grimy in tha hook, so thumbs up on anotha great track! Great job on this 1st verse here. Wow, tha ending REALLY was a plus wit tha "45 clips... you can suck 45 dicks," lol! Tha hook iz true, as "you can get murked/die," if you fuck up and be somewhere at tha wrong place/wrong time! Someone featured on tha 2nd verse (not sourced)? They said, "say, Gar;" who iz it? Did he say, "Mr. Dinero," or somethin'? Either way, not bad verse on tha 2nd verse. Do I hear B.G. comin' up? Nope, someone else, lol. This verse iz soundin' betta than tha 2nd verse; it's gradually gettin' betta too! Tha beat iz gettin' betta too; LOL @ tha graduation! Yea, my dawg B.G. on tha outro; I luved his fuckin' "WAHHHHHHHH, wuz haanin'!!" shit at tha end!! My Rating: 4.2
EDIT: I looked online, and even on CD Universe (from Google), no featured artists were sourced...?
07. "'Bout Dis Grinding" Feat. B.G.
Ooh, B.G. on tha feature here!! This should be sum tight shit!! >>> Sounds like The Runners in tha beginning/tha beat. Ooh, great hook wit tha title repeatin', Runners style!!! B.G. in tha intro talkin', and now, rappin' in tha 1st verse! Of course, doin' his thang, and always bein' himself when it comes ta this Rap shit! Lookin' back: B.G. was tha 1st Louisiana artist ta retire on my Top 10 Countdown back in 2003 wit "Hottest Of The Hot (Clinton Sparks Remix)"; CRAZY shit!!! You're on tha 2nd verse here, and I think you sound betta; I like tha way your flow sounds wit tha fastness in tha beginning, and then, just deliverin' that shit in tha next few lines. I like your "pill" line at 2:08, and then, all tha shit about drug-dealin' 'em afta that; nice shit here! Really felt your verse, and I'm really feelin' tha hook wit Gizzle goin', "nigga, what chu know;" nothin' but tightness!! My Rating: 4.6
08. "Certified" Feat. Juvenile
I thought tha length was similiar, but this a minute longer. As I mentioned Juvie earlier in tha review, now, here he iz wit you! Although tha last song wit B.G. was a 4.6 rated song by me, let's see what this gon turn out ta be! >>> Juvie turnin' tha intro's quality up here wit "it's gettin' kinda hectic!" Sounds like a Detroit type beat here, which iz different/pretty good. You on tha hook here, and it's soundin' good; exposin' them fakes that are "not certified!" You on tha 1st verse here, explainin' how "certified" you are wit this Rap shit. Nice lil' verse from you, ALWAYS keepin' it real!! LOL, here comes Juvie on tha 2nd verse! Yea, "he ain't no hoe!" Nice job from him, and when he said, "homie," it sounded like how Plies says it; iz Plies jackin'? I rememba tha fake stories about Plies last year... That's a no-no if that's true about Plies! Anyway, yea, let's see this 3rd verse... It's from you, and you're showin' your true freshness/quality of tha shit you got. Yea, "that purple kush iz all you smell!" Nice joint right chea! My Rating: 4.4
½time: Well, looks like a REAL good mixtape right chea!! I seem VERY pleased wit EVERY joint on here!! Keep doin' yo thang; you KNOW I luv this Louisiana shit, ya dig!! Average CD rating iz currently a WHOPPING 4.4!!
09. "Make It Official" Feat. B.G.
Ewe, 2:32 on tha length? LOL... But, wit B.G. on this bitch again, you KNOW this bitch "official;" yea!!! >>> Not sure of tha start here... Now that tha 1st verse iz here, it sounds like tha beat has an older influence. It almost reminds me of one of B.G.'s "Livin' Legend" beats (one of tha songs fa tha females)... Decent 1st verse; I can't really say anything really... Let's see what B.G. gon do on tha 2nd verse... *WRONG* No B.G. (I guess that was just him on tha hook wit you)! Okay verse, but I thought I would have more interest... That's prolly why it only 2:32. My Rating: 3.5
10. "On Deck"
Now, it's really just you. Let's see how you gon hold this track down... >>> More upbeat, Rap style here in tha beat. Reminds me of "Big Things Poppin'" beat... Nice "ya heard me" part in tha intro. Tha 1st verse iz here, and it sounds like you rappin' REAL NICE on this beat!! It sounded like tha beat vibrated at :25; that was a nice, unexpected effect! LOL @ "smoke onions" part. Nice rappin' once again; "in tha streets where I roam like a Sprint phone!" Tha end of tha 1st verse ended great wit tha hustlin' part (wit sellin' shit)! Ooh, even tha hook has that purp and shit in it; GREAT hook!! Tha 2nd verse iz here, and it's soundin' like anotha 1st verse wit tha way it's great! I like how you said "Louisiana" at 2:07 (gotta have ya state in tha song somewhere)! Tha bridge was nice, and this shit iz tha shit right chea! Yea, "Certified Muzik Vol. 1, my nigga;" I feel you on dat lil' part on tha outro! Nice outro too, and when Vol. 2 comes out, you KNOW I need dat shit in my life, ya dig! My Rating: 4.7
11. "One Day At A Time" Feat. Detroit
Iz Detroit from Detroit? I know, that was so cheesy, right, lol? But yea, let's see how this collaboration goes... >>> Slow intro here, so I don't know what ta expect... Tha piano kicked in at :22, and now, I hear a gurl "ran away at 16?" That sounds sad, and you explained that "her stomach all fat," so, she got pregnant real early? Sounds like an odd life... Even "in and outta jail?" I'm writin' so much right now without talkin' about how I thought tha beat was slow in tha beginning. Anyway, yea, tha beat kicked in betta at :45, and I'm likin' it fa a start intro. Tha Detroit singer no less sounds pretty good singin' on tha hook too wit that "one day at a time" type shit. Sounds like a lyrical song I like! Tha 2nd verse iz great, and I like how you said, "mama washed her hands wit 'em," 'cause that's how I feel when it comes ta assholes that don't wanna be supported by me (WTF?). Really, who WOULDN'T wanna have support from me?!? Tha 3rd verse here, and it's soundin' good too! Nice job on this shit right chea! My Rating: 4.3
12. "I Know"
"I [don't] know" what ta expect... >>> Did a car just pass by at :13? LOL, just playin'. Tha otha song sounds betta fa a start here... It sounds like it more fa tha females here. I thought tha 1st verse was decent; nothin' really ta say. However, that hook sounds betta; I like tha female singin' on tha 2nd 1/2 of it! Tha 2nd verse iz soundin' great fa a start, "smokin' dat purp on Cloud 9!" Sounds like you make dem gurlz horny wit tha way you are; that's a plus fa you! A much betta 2nd verse here, and now, tha 3rd verse iz here... More catering here fa tha special female. A shorter verse (like 4 lines I think), but it wasn't that bad. This sounds like a long beat outro... My Rating: 3.6
13. "Slippin'" Feat. B.G.
Anotha short title, and this one prolly iz betta than tha last song; tha title speaks fo itself! >>> Yea, my ma'fuckin' dawg B.G. in tha beginning wit "waz haanin', dawg?" Yea, MUCH BETTA here!! When I wrote "tha title speaks fo itself," I thought tha title was "Sippin'" fa a sec; I didn't see that "L", lol. Ooh, B.G. spittin' tha 1st verse on here (that's anotha ID Error 'cause he's not sourced on this)!! Yea, he spittin' that REAL shit right here!! Gangsta lyrics on his verse wit "luvin' his choppa;" he gotta have it, ya dig! Real nice job wit him on tha 1st verse!! Forgot ta compliment tha hook from you; it's REAL nice, especially wit evadin' tha title, as you're NOT "slippin'!" Tha 2nd verse here iz from you, and it's pretty NICE, especially tha "shoot a queen in ya ace, no, it ain't a game, boy" line; you KNOW I luv my gamblin', ESPECIALLY when it in raps!! Great verse, as you just kept it street; what otha way ya gotta keep it? Here comes tha 3rd verse... I don't know who this iz, but they sound like T.I. on this shit. He did a nice job on his verse, and I agree: "Real nigga do real thangz;" all tha shit I be doin' iz STR8 UP REAL!!! If anyone can gimme tha featured artist on here (and on #6), lemme know! My Rating: 4.5
14. "Same Ol' 2 Step"
Are you makin' fun of dance moves, or are you gonna contribute? I hope you insult them...! >>> WTF? 50 Cent sample?! Sounds like anotha Runners beat, only this sounds gay wit 50 on this shit... Tha 1st verse here sounds like you at least keepin' it fresh and shit, enterin' tha club. I thought tha 1st 1/2 of your 1st verse was pretty good; tha otha 1/2 was kinda consistent (wit nothin' ta really say). Tha 2nd verse here iz soundin' pretty street, as you always keep it. That's cool that you "been trappin' all day." Tha 3rd verse iz soundin' supportive, as you're "doin' this fa yo niggaz," even wit those in jail. Nice job on tha verses here; it was just tha hook that got me. My Rating: 4.0
15. "Wishing Death On Me"
Looks like a hater title/lyrical song... >>> Tha horns in tha intro remind me of tha type of Juvie/Cash Money shit from back in tha Early 2000's. Ooh, even wit tha beat kickin' in betta on tha hook (soundin' like Lil' Wayne's "Where You At" a lil' bit). That hook iz nice; feelin' this one right chea! Great job on this 1st verse here; just anotha street anthem, ya dig! Tha 2nd verse here iz soundin' great too. You also deliverin' some mission you got ta do in tha 2nd verse; I like that/good luck wit your future! Only 2:48? This should've been longer... It could've used a 3rd verse! My Rating: 4.4
16. "I Hustle (Remix)" Feat. Young Jeezy, B.G. & Maino
LOL, this 2007 song came outta nowhere! I rememba this shit, yet I rememba gettin' it! It was during borderline bad times in Fall 2007. Now, nearly 2 years later, here comes tha remix; wonder how good it gon sound? >>> This was RIGHT before my Louisiana connection started ta pop off!! B.G. kept it real wit that hook! Tha 1st verse from him iz tha same as tha original, and still soundin' good. Here comes Young Jeezy on tha 2nd verse... Still tha same verse, although when I had tha original, it was clean; glad this iz dirty! He sounds good still on his verse; great shit here! Let's see who we got here on tha 3rd verse... It's Maino, and he "hustlin'" wit his rhymes and his street cred here! I like that "100 grand heavier / niggaz betta hurry up" part; great rhymin'! You're on tha 4th verse (nice ta see 4 verses within a lil' ova 4 minutes of a remix), and it's still soundin' great (like your otha songs)! Nice mixin' from 3:36 - 3:38 wit dat "servin'" part; nice end ta your verse too! I always liked that cold ending of this beat too! My Rating: 4.4
Overall: Did yo thang on this shit, fa real!! Just NOTHIN' but consistent BANGERZ on this shit, ya dig!! Keep doin' yo thang, and keep Chopper City Boyz breathin'!! VL's death shouldn't affect you & tha Chopper City Boyz's rappin' abilities, and this mixtape proved it!!

You doin' yo thang on tha 1st verse right chea; non-stop tight shit right chea! Definitely a great 1st verse, and that 2nd verse iz comin' up, and I'm REALLY lookin' forward ta it!! I guess you're 25 years old since you said "25 years of pain." Why does every underground rapper (pretty much) have ta live a whole life of pain?

12. "I Know"
"I [don't] know" what ta expect... >>> Did a car just pass by at :13? LOL, just playin'. Tha otha song sounds betta fa a start here... It sounds like it more fa tha females here. I thought tha 1st verse was decent; nothin' really ta say. However, that hook sounds betta; I like tha female singin' on tha 2nd 1/2 of it! Tha 2nd verse iz soundin' great fa a start, "smokin' dat purp on Cloud 9!" Sounds like you make dem gurlz horny wit tha way you are; that's a plus fa you! A much betta 2nd verse here, and now, tha 3rd verse iz here... More catering here fa tha special female. A shorter verse (like 4 lines I think), but it wasn't that bad. This sounds like a long beat outro... My Rating: 3.6
13. "Slippin'" Feat. B.G.
Anotha short title, and this one prolly iz betta than tha last song; tha title speaks fo itself! >>> Yea, my ma'fuckin' dawg B.G. in tha beginning wit "waz haanin', dawg?" Yea, MUCH BETTA here!! When I wrote "tha title speaks fo itself," I thought tha title was "Sippin'" fa a sec; I didn't see that "L", lol. Ooh, B.G. spittin' tha 1st verse on here (that's anotha ID Error 'cause he's not sourced on this)!! Yea, he spittin' that REAL shit right here!! Gangsta lyrics on his verse wit "luvin' his choppa;" he gotta have it, ya dig! Real nice job wit him on tha 1st verse!! Forgot ta compliment tha hook from you; it's REAL nice, especially wit evadin' tha title, as you're NOT "slippin'!" Tha 2nd verse here iz from you, and it's pretty NICE, especially tha "shoot a queen in ya ace, no, it ain't a game, boy" line; you KNOW I luv my gamblin', ESPECIALLY when it in raps!! Great verse, as you just kept it street; what otha way ya gotta keep it? Here comes tha 3rd verse... I don't know who this iz, but they sound like T.I. on this shit. He did a nice job on his verse, and I agree: "Real nigga do real thangz;" all tha shit I be doin' iz STR8 UP REAL!!! If anyone can gimme tha featured artist on here (and on #6), lemme know! My Rating: 4.5
14. "Same Ol' 2 Step"
Are you makin' fun of dance moves, or are you gonna contribute? I hope you insult them...! >>> WTF? 50 Cent sample?! Sounds like anotha Runners beat, only this sounds gay wit 50 on this shit... Tha 1st verse here sounds like you at least keepin' it fresh and shit, enterin' tha club. I thought tha 1st 1/2 of your 1st verse was pretty good; tha otha 1/2 was kinda consistent (wit nothin' ta really say). Tha 2nd verse here iz soundin' pretty street, as you always keep it. That's cool that you "been trappin' all day." Tha 3rd verse iz soundin' supportive, as you're "doin' this fa yo niggaz," even wit those in jail. Nice job on tha verses here; it was just tha hook that got me. My Rating: 4.0
15. "Wishing Death On Me"
Looks like a hater title/lyrical song... >>> Tha horns in tha intro remind me of tha type of Juvie/Cash Money shit from back in tha Early 2000's. Ooh, even wit tha beat kickin' in betta on tha hook (soundin' like Lil' Wayne's "Where You At" a lil' bit). That hook iz nice; feelin' this one right chea! Great job on this 1st verse here; just anotha street anthem, ya dig! Tha 2nd verse here iz soundin' great too. You also deliverin' some mission you got ta do in tha 2nd verse; I like that/good luck wit your future! Only 2:48? This should've been longer... It could've used a 3rd verse! My Rating: 4.4
16. "I Hustle (Remix)" Feat. Young Jeezy, B.G. & Maino
LOL, this 2007 song came outta nowhere! I rememba this shit, yet I rememba gettin' it! It was during borderline bad times in Fall 2007. Now, nearly 2 years later, here comes tha remix; wonder how good it gon sound? >>> This was RIGHT before my Louisiana connection started ta pop off!! B.G. kept it real wit that hook! Tha 1st verse from him iz tha same as tha original, and still soundin' good. Here comes Young Jeezy on tha 2nd verse... Still tha same verse, although when I had tha original, it was clean; glad this iz dirty! He sounds good still on his verse; great shit here! Let's see who we got here on tha 3rd verse... It's Maino, and he "hustlin'" wit his rhymes and his street cred here! I like that "100 grand heavier / niggaz betta hurry up" part; great rhymin'! You're on tha 4th verse (nice ta see 4 verses within a lil' ova 4 minutes of a remix), and it's still soundin' great (like your otha songs)! Nice mixin' from 3:36 - 3:38 wit dat "servin'" part; nice end ta your verse too! I always liked that cold ending of this beat too! My Rating: 4.4
Overall: Did yo thang on this shit, fa real!! Just NOTHIN' but consistent BANGERZ on this shit, ya dig!! Keep doin' yo thang, and keep Chopper City Boyz breathin'!! VL's death shouldn't affect you & tha Chopper City Boyz's rappin' abilities, and this mixtape proved it!!
