Just about 12:00 AM where I’m at right now… Ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog iz doin’
tha 275th review right now for J Fletcha and his 2007 release “Belly
Of The Beast”! I’m lookin’ forward ta this ‘cause I KNOW this on sum RAW Baton Rouge shit…
hopefully! Without anymore delays, here goes tha review fa J Fletcha “Belly
Of The Beast”! There’s major confusion between tha tracklisting on Datpiff
(19 tracks) vs. tha way they’re labeled on tha mp3s (track #’s) vs. tha back
cover, which says 25 tracks? Start Time: 11:58 PM | End Time:
1:42 AM
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!

reviewed on 7.22.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. Intro
Lemme get an inside scoop at J Fletcha right now! >>> What’s wit tha hatin’ in tha beginning? Fletcha, you sound real anticipatin’ here! Tha acapella/speaker phone freestyle here iz REAL TIGHT!! LOL @ tha “get in my belly” part! My Rating: N/A
02. “It’s J Fletcha”
This iz labeled as Track 17 on tha mp3? Either way, it looks like an introduction joint; lemme check it out!! >>> What was this Runners beat again? Oh yea, Jim Jones “Reppin’ Time”. How hard will you on this joint? Very long intro (55 seconds)… Tha 1st verse iz soundin’ pretty raw here. LUVIN’ tha “cookin’ fa dinna” lines when it comes to tha hataz!! I like all tha “dawg” parts, as well as rhymin’ it. Shit, I didn’t even realize it was just about 2 minutes long… My Rating: 4.3
03. “Welcome To The Boot”
I forgot what # this was labeled as (I think Track 1), but it’s up next, so let’s see what you are doin’ on this shit! >>> Yea, “step up to tha plate ta Baton Rouge.” A decent start… Sounds like New Orleans in tha beat. Speaking of N.O., “Crescent City” you said, so you’re currently cruisin’ through tha N.O. right now. Pretty good 2nd verse too as well as how tha 1st verse went. More of a Dee-1 style here in tha verses wit tha flow. I like tha “can’t nobody touch this like a bunch of hot fries” part in tha 3rd verse; nice job in that 3rd verse. I thought this song would go hard, but it wasn’t that bad. My Rating: 3.7
04. “Raincoat”
Labeled as Track 2 on tha mp3… I don’t know what ta expect… Not much anticipation… >>> Anotha song wit an unknown start wit me… Different, and somewhat catchy hook. I don’t know about that beat… Ain’t it too hot in Louisiana for a “raincoat?” Okay 1st verse. A lotta “raincoat” lyrics. Kinda repetitive for a song so short. My Rating: 3.1
05. “I Relate”
Labeled as #3 on tha mp3… >>> Only 1:48 on tha length? Sounds like a Young Dro sample on tha hook? Almost thought my interest was lackin’, but tha beat iz pretty good, and tha “blowin’ a pound of dat purple good” part really caught my attention! Nice job on tha rappin’ here; good shit! My Rating: 3.8
06. “I’m Bad”
What caused it? Labeled as #4 on tha mp3 BTW… >>> Tha lil’ piano intro (its sound) almost reminded me of tha start to Yung Slab’s “Say What Up”. Sounds like a good hook wit a nice beat! Good rappin’ in tha verse, as well as that great hook again! My Rating: 4.0
07. “Big Booties”
I thought it said “boobies” when I first saw tha ID, lol. Labeled as #5 on tha mp3. >>> I have a feelin’ I’ll look forward ta this. “Hood Nigga” beat here… Nice “booty” lyrics in tha hook; enjoyed it! Let’s hear tha 1st verse here… Keepin’ it goin’ good wit tha booty lyrics again! Nothin’ much ta say about tha 2nd verse, although it seems like you’re much more into tha gurl during tha 2nd verse. Pretty catchy shit here. My Rating: 3.6
08. “Tighten Up”
Correct track number on tha mp3 here. Only 1:31, so let’s see how much you squeeze in here… >>> Okay start wit a nice amount of hi-hats goin’ on in tha beat. Way too short, but pretty nice beat outro. My Rating: 3.4
09. “Fletcha Freestyle”
[It’s missing?]
10. “I Go Hard”
[Incorrect title (as this was tha same as #5)?]
EDIT: I’m reviewin’ this as “I Go Hard” (which iz labeled as #9 on tha mp3). >>> Nice “It’s Okay (One Blood)” beat. You did yo thang wit tha rappin’ here; good shit! Feelin’ tha hook too! My Rating: 4.0
11. “Step Ya Game Up”
[It’s missing?]
12. “Jena 6”
This one’s in there… It’s labeled as Track #7 also on tha mp3 instead. Hope this ain’t depressin’… >>> “1865” facts I see… Real good information, and great lyrical song that I can like! Tha beat iz pretty good here too! I always say: I LUV BLACK PEOPLE!!! Black people have helped my socializin’, fa real!! Big ups ta 225!! My Rating: 4.4
½time: This tha ½ point… Not bad start. A lil’ mixed up wit tha track numbers and missin’ tracks… I know your music now (wit Johnnie Domino, S.B.R. & Raw Ha Records behind you) must sound MUCH betta! I heard you got a new single produced by DJ B-Real? That’s watz good! Average CD rating iz currently 3.8 (which doesn’t count #’s 9-11 ‘cause they were missin’ from tha Datpiff folder). At tha end, I decided ta review #9, but it didn’t count during tha ½time’s average CD rating.
13. “In My Gender” Feat. L-Boogie.Com
Ewe, LOL @ a website on tha feature! That’s a 1st! Then again, sadly, it’s missin’ from tha folder.
14. “In This Life” Feat. L-Boogie.Com & T-Tyrant
This one made it, but iz labeled as Track 18 on tha mp3… Long song (5:05 on tha length). Let’s see… >>> Sounds like it a mix between a good South beat vs. shit that’s not for me. Pretty good 1st verse goin’ on here; sounds betta than tha hook. Tha 2nd verse iz soundin’ a lil’ catchy here… Ooh, “red, white, green & blue” when it comes to tha pillz! Good “trap house, 1:30 in tha mornin’” part also. Tha 3rd verse sounds REAL nice wit tha fast rappin’! Gangsta lyrics here fa tha hood! Good job on makin’ this an anthem for tha hood! My Rating: 3.9
15. “Take Your Ass To School”
LOL @ tha title; I like it!! However, it’s not in tha folder. Johnnie Domino…?
16. “I’m A Dog”
Anotha song (no less, #16) not in tha folder!
17. “No Side Deals”
Looks like a good title… Pretty good length too (4:27); let’s see what you gon bring on this one. Labeled as Track 15 on tha mp3… >>> Pretty good rappin’ on tha 1st verse. Real good rhymes too. Rick Ross on tha hook (surprised Datpiff didn’t remove it like they usually do, lol). I’m assumin’ this ova a Ross beat from tha past. Not bad 2nd verse. Long music break (1:30+)? Will there be anotha repeat of tha hook? I didn’t expect this ta have 2 verses… Yea, tha hook repeated about 45 seconds later, although it sounds like a long, boring ending. My Rating: 3.5
18. “Sugarcane”
This one’s labeled as Track 10 on tha mp3. Hope it ain’t Pop Rap style wit that title, although I expect good! >>> Catchy organ in tha beginning… Tha beat iz takin’ ova, lol. Catchy hook, especially wit tha title and tha “dawg” part. Pretty catchy verse, although not much ta say… My Rating: 3.6
19. “Ridin’ Solo” Feat. L-Boogie.Com & T-Tyrant
It’s here (labeled as Track 12). Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ tha featured people again! >>> Almost reminds me of a childish beat… Nice hook. Tha 1st verse iz here, “ain’t playin’ games.” “Off tha chain like a pitbull;” double quotes, lol! Pretty nice job on tha 1st verse. Yea, that fast rappin’ dude on tha 2nd verse!! Sounded real short of a verse, but you KNOW he did his thang!! Nice job on tha 3rd verse too wit this shit. My Rating: 4.1
20. “Let Me Hear Ya Spit”
Labeled as Track 14 on tha mp3… Looks like a cool title, so let’s see… >>> Sounds like a cool beat intro… You’re soundin’ pretty good on this song right here, startin’ off tha verse. Great job on tha hook too! Ooh, a 2nd verse fit in here! It was real short though (a few lines)… My Rating: 4.0
21. “We Vets”
Yup… Labeled as Track 13 on tha mp3 here. What can I expect from this joint? >>> Sounds like a pretty good start wit nothin’ ta really say. Pretty nice 1st verse; good flow on this track. Nice 2nd verse too. My bad fa not sayin’ much… My Rating: 3.9
22. “Stop My Shine”
This one was labeled as Track 6. Let’s see how good this one iz! >>> Sounds like a better start here wit tha intro, and that NICE slow beat! Protective lyrics wit your “bulldog near your bed” when it comes ta sleepin’ and that shit! Good job on tha 1st verse, and tha hook was pretty catchy. Once again, good hood shit here. Sounds like tha 2nd verse iz soundin’ cool here. My Rating: 4.2
23. “Fo Da Ladies” Feat. L-Boogie.Com
ID Error #1: Tha “e” iz missin’ in Boogie’s name. Anyway, labeled as #11 on tha mp3, let’s see what we got for a song over 5 minutes long… >>> I don’t know how interested I’m into this one so far… Not much goin’ on in tha beat, tha flowin’ iz decent, and tha lyrics are just okay fa me. Just like tha 1st verse, tha 2nd verse iz just okay, stickin’ to tha topic. Only 2 verses fa a song 5 minutes long? LOL… Once again, anotha real long outro wit tha hook repeatin’… My Rating: 3.0
24. “Highly Intoxicated” Feat. L-Boogie.Com & T-Tyrant
Tyrant (that fast dude) on this shit, so this should be REAL GOOD wit that title! Labeled as Track 19 on tha mp3… >>> OMG, 5:41 on tha length; betta be good all tha way!! This sounds slower, but wit tha title/hook, it should be good! Pretty good 1st verse on this. Likin’ that hook as it’s REAL catchy! LOL, Tyrant doin’ his thang on tha 2nd verse! He “jiggin’” as he said “we jigg” on this shit (1st time I heard that on this CD)! Almost thought tha 3rd verse had a Young Ready feel in tha voice when I first heard it… You did yo thang on tha 3rd verse though. Tha outro iz pretty long, but it doesn’t seem like it on this song. My Rating: 3.8
25. Outro
…
..
.
It’s not even here!
Overall: Well, not bad for a start… Definitely need a lil’ tune-up in tha beats (which I believe you’re on that path wit tha new music)! Johnnie Domino had a song playin’ in tha background while I was on tha phone wit him that sounded REAL good!! Keep up tha good work.
