FrankieThaLuckyDog up in this bitch. 'Bout ta do a review for V.I.P. Da
Outlaw. He only wanted a rating, but me, I LIKE ta go tha EXTREME extra
route and do a review, ya dig! I'm busy like crazy right now no less, but I
must be occupied more!! Here goes my review for V.I.P. Da Outlaw "Da
Windows Cloudy Vol. 1"! Start Time: 4:20 PM | End Time:
6:07 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!

reviewed on 8.17.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. "Takin' Over"
Tha 1st song on this mixtape, so let's see what you got. BTW, this tha 1st time I'm hearin' you! >>> For a second, anything popped in my head (like thinkin' that this was gonna be a jacked beat on DJ Khaled's "We Takin' Over"). However, sounds REAL NICE for a starting song!!! That hook and beat iz DEFINITELY nice!! I hear you on tha 1st verse here, and you sound like DJ Southpaw a lil' (I mainly say that 'cause you white). Tha verse was DEFINITELY nice, and it sounds like you DEFINITELY want "tha crown, tha stage," and all that good shit, ya dig! Tha 2nd verse here, and it sounds like based off of what you heard, you're "gettin' sicka," and "givin' rappers tha hiccups!" LOL; that's watz good! Really feelin' tha rhymes here; crazy shit!!! "Grippin' on tha pen" for these HOT-ASS rhymes!!! Tha 3rd verse here continuin' wit tha raw shit!! A NICE hood anthem right here, and ANOTHA reason why I had faith in reviewin' your shit instead of just bein' boring and givin' just a rating! My Rating: 4.7
02. "One Man Band"
That's what you seem like based off that 1st song, which was CRAZY!! Let's see what you got on this one!! >>> Sounds like tha beat iz a sequel to tha last song! As your location says on your MySpace, STR8 "Gutta Rouge" shit here!! That hook was on some TIGHT shit again!! Glad tha beat goes hard again as well!!! Here we are on tha 1st verse, and I like how you rhymed tha title. You DEFINITELY "ain't bullshittin'" wit this shit; LOOK HOW HOT IT IZ!!! REAL nice 1st verse, and tha hook sounds MUCH betta now too, since you're everything in a track! Tha 2nd verse here, and you feelin' good 'bout yaself, especially wit your "pants saggin'," so you DEFINITELY you! Definitely anotha great verse right here!! Very inspired by tha haterz on tha 3rd verse here! White rappers were meant for Baton Rouge; NOWHERE ELSE!! I like how your name was said right afta tha last verse! My Rating: 4.7
03. "Betta Get From 'Round Me" Feat. B-Raw
...And anotha BANGA it looks like!! Do you have any collaborations wit A-Mar & Dyl? You prolly real cool wit them, regardless! >>> Tha beat a lil' different, but sounds nice, ESPECIALLY wit that hook! Here you are on tha 1st verse, soundin' GREAT wit tha way you rappin'! Tha beat DEFINITELY soundin' betta as tha song continues on! Nice rhymes from you, as you deliverin' that street shit! Here you are on tha 2nd verse also, doin' tha damn thang!! Motiviational verse right there; keep up tha GR8 work!! In order to consider myself fair, I was forced to skip tha 3rd verse. Certain actions give me that feelin' ta skip it, so I did! My Rating: 4.5
04. "Live Fast, Die Young"
That's what it iz wit a lotta people, sadly. However, that won't be me! I gon live, and do all this GR8 shit, fa'eva, ya dig!! >>> Glad you don't make these songs depressin'; tha beat iz DEFINITELY on point, and so iz that TRUE hook!! Here you are on tha 1st verse, and you're explainin' how too many accidents happen out in tha streetz. They say drugs kill you at an early age. However, I'm not against people doin' drugs, but I feel that they don't kill you faster; they advance your life faster! That's why I feel that although I'm 21, people that are my age (or even younger) act older than me based off of certain drugs; that's my theory. Anyway, still comin' through NICE on tha 2nd verse. You doin' ya thang wit tha lyrics, as well as tha gr8 flow and tha CATCHY flow! Glad this ain't that old since you said in tha 3rd verse, "Pimp C just died last year." Thanx for tha facts on Soulja Slim & D.G. Yola, although I knew about those facts already. Hate seein' deaths (e.g., Soulja Slim), but HOPEFULLY, people'll control it!! My Rating: 4.4
05. "Thuggin', Bouncin', Buckin'"
3 verbs, so 3x a PLUS for me!!! >>> Tha beginning's flow reminds me of ol' skool Lil' Wayne; REAL NICE beat and REAL NICE hook!!! Tha 1st verse was nice, and now, tha hook iz DEFINITELY on its TIGHT shit now!!! Sounds MUCH BETTA than tha beginning, but yea, DEFINITELY 3x a charm here!!! Tha 2nd verse here, doin' ya thang wit that flow again, and it just fulla GREATNESS!!! Pure greatness wit tha beat at tha end too!! My Rating: 4.9
06. "Don't Stop"
You DEFINITELY ain't "stoppin'" here, although tha lengths are gettin' shorter! Only 2:23 on tha length for such a GREAT rapper... It should be GREAT, regardless! >>> Tha beginning beat right there should define HOT shit!! Yea, ERR-THANG "in tha South 'don't stop'!" Tight shit here again!! I like tha "for tha thugz wit tha middle fingaz up, hollain', 'we don't give a fuck!'" part! You REALLY ain't "stoppin'" wit this shit at all times!! Forgot that tha song was so short... But, it did its thang!! My Rating: 4.6
07. "This'll Never Work"
Curious title here... I wonder what ain't gonna "work" for you? >>> Different start, but that catchiness in tha hook sounds great. I like tha "you too much of a pain in tha ass ta deal wit" part! I feel like that when people always criticize me of not havin' a girlfriend. Girlfriends just control tha guys! That's why, when I talk ta buku people, they always say, "Lemme call you back; my girl on tha otha line / I'm wit my girl; I'll call you back;" it bullshit! Great 1st verse on this too! Your flow sounds MUCH upbeat on this 2nd verse; great shit!!! Even further upbeat on tha 3rd verse here; tight shit!! My Rating: 4.4
08. "Can't Stop My Shine Pt. 2"
I guess Pt. 1 was back in tha day, lol. I wonder how good of a song you can make this one? >>> I like how tha beat kicked RIGHT IN at about :03 in!! I like tha softer part at :15 too! Yea, tha hook on sum TIGHT SHIT again!!! I'm 8 songs in, and your lowest rating iz a 4.4 so far; does that say how SPECIAL you are?!? Nice job on tha 1st verse, as you just keep deliverin' them rhymes WITHOUT bein' interrupted!! Look at all those people denyin' you in tha 2nd verse. BUT, you KNOW you don't listen to them!! Nice job right there on tha 2nd verse, and tha 3rd verse here, and tha beat sounds REAL NICE at about 2:57! Good job tryna get out to all those labels & rappers! Nice beat ending too on this!! My Rating: 4.6
09. "Do Da Damn Thang"
You prolly gon be DDDTin' this track right here 100%!!! >>> Tha same producer from Southpaw & Rackley "Gets No Better" here (still can't figure out their name for shit)!! It's a sample of Europe's "The Final Countdown" here. However, I think I might've heard this sample before on DeTrane's "Jigg City Radio Vol. 2" (a song wit Big Scoob and a few othas on it). Either way, I'm glad ta hear somethin' nearly tha same again! GREAT hook, REAL, REAL GREAT beat, and tha 1st verse tight too! Tha 2nd verse here, still goin' strong on this beat!! This must have ta be one of tha best, EXCLUSIVE Baton Rouge beats here eva!!!!! Comin' through strong on tha 3rd verse wit this tight shit!! Great motivational 3rd verse, and even tha last 10 seconds had that HOT beat!!! My Rating: 4.7
EDIT: I can't rehear tha Big Scoob/T-Lo/Sam I Am song right now ('cause it on a data CD at my house), but based off of what I reviewed, I said theirs sounded like a Bounce song. It prolly tha same beat, but when I googled it, tha only result that came up was my review, lol (aren't I special?). Anyway, when it comes to exclusive Baton Rouge beats, there have been times I've heard them multiple times: Southpaw & Rackley "Allstars" vs. Lil' Boxx Feat. J-Gutta "Stop Stuntin'", V.I.P. Da Outlaw "Do Da Damn Thang" vs. Big Scoob Feat. T-Lo & Sam I Am "Pop A Wally" (I think), and I recently heard someone on Southpaw & Rackley's "Gets No Better" beat. There are times where it can be cool (just like I reviewed your song just now), but because "Gets No Better" was a HUGE song wit me from last year, when I heard someone else on tha beat from this year, I automatically refused ta listen to it 'cause of tha otha song bein' an original beat/song. I consider it a "225 vs. 225" (or a "Baton Rouge vs. Baton Rouge") song. So, my question iz, do they make tha exclusive beats for multiple people to rap on before someone finalizes tha beat and tha song, or do tha beats just leak in Baton Rouge?
½time: Well, VERY GOOD start to this mixtape, fa real!! I thought it was gonna be jacked beats, but all tha beats have been GOIN' HARDER THAN A MA'FUCKA, your hooks are catchy as hell/are tha truth, and tha rhymes/rappin' iz REAL GREAT, ya dig!! Don't think this tha only review I'm doin' for you! Tha day ain't ova yet!! Average CD rating iz currently a WHOPPIN' 4.6!!!
10. "Last Nite" Feat. Head First Hard Heads
Not sure if it's 2 featured artists, 1, or a click... Looks like a fuckin' song? Lemme see... >>> Nice beat here! Catchy start, and nowhere near a fuckin' song, lol! Good job wit tha motivational hook, and tha 1st verse iz here from you, still goin' on about tha streetz! Pretty lyrical here, and it's soundin' good! Thank God it ain't borin' like a lotta people make borin' lyrical songs! LOL @ how Head "woke up" on tha 2nd verse. He sounds REAL cool on this shit, so you KNOW he doin' tha damn thang!! Nice job; glad you made me discover Head! Tha 3rd verse here, and it has good lyrics; nice and consistent. I like how it went acapella wit "tha dream" part! My Rating: 4.4
11. "Smokin' N Fuckin'"
This should be REAL GREAT!! Glad a white dude like you iz pullin' off a double title like this!! You and your multiple verbs! >>> Anotha different beat start, but tha beat ALWAYS picks up by tha time it tha hook! Catchy hook all in tha bed! Tha 1st verse here, and you DEFINITELY nice wit tha flow here! Really feelin' tha mix of tha sexual lyrics wit tha nice smokin'/jiggin' lyrics! Glad you "inhalin' on tha swisha." Nice, catchy 1st verse! Down ta "1 rubber, 1 swisha," 1 err-thang on tha 2nd verse. But, tha fiendin'll rise up! Nice job on that 2nd verse, especially your flow! Really like tha start to tha 3rd verse wit tha "shiiiit" part ta start it off! Nice job on tha 3rd verse too! My Rating: 4.4
12. "Love Being From Da South"
And I "LOVE" supportin' Louisiana!!! >>> Back to tha REAL GREAT beats again!! Tha intro real good too! Tha hook iz NICE and self-explained!! Glad you "love" all that Baton Rouge shit in tha 1st verse; thanx 4 extra expressin' yourself! Here we are on tha 2nd verse, "lovin'" that you "from tha city as Max Minelli, C-Loc," and err-body! Yea, you "love" a part of "G-Lane;" glad you brought them up (shout out to my boy Blu Black)!! A 3rd verse here... You even "love runnin' from tha BRPD?" I dunno about that... I guess you got GR8 evasion skillz! Nice job on tha 3rd verse; couldn't get enough of this song/tha rhymes!! My Rating: 4.7
13. "Tired"
I expect this ta be slower... >>> Yea, much slower, and different from tha style I really like. Either way, tha hook iz SO me!! I always get "stabbed in tha back" and get taken advantage of too much! However, now that I'm 21, that ain't happenin' AT ALL 'cause if I catch it, I silently disappear from anybody that wants ta treat me like an asshole! Nice 1st verse wit those GREAT lyrics ta go wit this song too! Likin' tha 2nd verse too; I like tha "tired of bein' a fuckin' yo-yo" part! Very expressive here, and I'm likin' it, which iz rare for these kinda songs! Not bad on tha lil' singin'/holdin' notes part within tha last 50 seconds, as well as tha talkin' at tha end. My Rating: 4.3
14. "Shit Creek"
A "shit creek?" I KNOW I gon like this due to HUGE unexpectedness!!! >>> Nice beat intro, and tha beat iz not bad; sounds good wit you on it. You're rappin' pretty good on tha 1st verse; on a money mission here! Nice job on that 1st verse, and LOL @ tha definition of tha hook! "You a shit stain flowin' down a 'shit creek';" I feel ya on this! Reminds me of that "This'll Never Work" definition of its title. Tha 2nd verse here, and yea, "mama didn't raise no hoe [you];" I feel ya on that one! Nice job on tha 3rd verse too; definin' how it goes down in tha 225! My Rating: 4.6
15. "Came A Long Way"
You DEFINITELY have "came a long way" wit this CD!! Who would've thought it would be one of tha BEST thangz I've eva reviewed in Baton Rouge?? DEFINITELY, statistically in my top 5 best, statistically!! >>> Pretty good beat start. Oh, tha length only 2:43, so I gon have ta get inta this fast! Catchy hook this time, so that's a plus. Doin' tha damn thang "unsigned hype" style on tha 1st verse here! I like how they use 225 as "deuce & a quarter" as anotha reference; that's watz good! Only tha BEST from Baton Rouge!!! Tha 2nd verse here, and you're such a problem, as you're "every single parent's problem!" Good job on that 2nd verse right there; nothin' but GR8 shit from you!! My Rating: 4.4
16. "Ain't No Worries"
Anotha unsure title for me... I noticed how 14/16 songs have been just you so far! You REALLY "doin' tha damn thang" (like your song) for someone doin' these tracks by yourself, ya dig!! >>> Real slow start, and tha hook ain't that bad; it's actually good for a slow song. Once again, anotha good beat here! Real good lyrics on tha 1st verse here; str8 emotional, struggle-type street shit! I REALLY HOPE THIS AIN'T "your last day livin'" or "this last verse written!" You DEFINITELY DON'T NEED TA DIE!!! That ain't gon happen AT ALL!!! Great 2nd verse on this too; keep doin' ya thang!! I like tha beat outro... oh wait, it's tha hook again, lol. Then, that's a plus too! My Rating: 4.4
17. "Welcome To The Terror Dome"
Uh oh... A TOUGH title here!! REALLY lookin' forward ta this!!!!! >>> Anotha GREAT beat for ANOTHA bound ta be great song!!! Real good 1st verse wit those non-stop rhymes you be spittin'! Tha hook here, and it's DEFINITELY that street shit that you want!! Plus, it's also different (look at tha title), so you KNOW you got an automatic plus here!! Keepin' it hood for tha 2nd verse here; non-stop shit from dat boy V.I.P.!! Tha 3rd verse here, and it SO STRONG that "even Bush can't stop you" on this shit!! REAL NICE ending to tha 3rd verse wit leavin' 'em "laid out, chalk-lined all in tha street;" TOO HARD!!! My Rating: 4.6
18. "Out My Mind" Feat. D-So Of Da Jiggalators
Yea!! Jiggalatin' power right here!! This should be a REAL NICE one!!! >>> Yea, "Mod Productions on tha beat" here!! A REAL catchy shit right here wit that NICE hook; str8 club shit right here!! Tha 1st verse here, and it SO jiggalated!! LOL @ tha "if you be actin' pussy, grow a dick, and grow up;" that was NICE!! Nice job, V.I.P., on tha 1st verse!! Here's tha 2nd verse here from dat boy D-So!! Yea, he soundin' REAL NICE on this shit!! He such "a Jigga City animal" like he said! Great street shit fa tha 225 hoods right here, and he just keeps goin' wit this shit!! REALLY enjoyed his verse to tha fullest!! Mod Productions did a REAL NICE job wit dis beat!! My Rating: 4.8
19. "Can't Stop My Shine" Feat. J-Bae & ChaYsuh
LOL @ endin' wit tha original version... Should've flipped tha 2nd part wit this one. Anyway, tha ending song, so let's end it BIG!!!!! >>> That catchy beat here, and that catchy hook too! Startin' tha 1st verse off here wit J-Bae, makin' y'all "catch one in your a-hole" when he spits this shit!! Really feelin' his verse right now!! Tight shit from that dude, and now, dat boy ChaYsuh comin' through NICE on tha 2nd verse!! He had a GREAT attitude on this, doin' tha damn thang!! Finally, it's you on tha 3rd verse, lol! At least you're endin' your CD wit yourself, ya dig! Still soundin' great, and that iz TOO hot!! I'll tie tha rating for Pt. 2 wit this, but this wins in a tie-breaker! Nice fade-out in tha beat! My Rating: 4.6
Overall: AN OVERWHELMIN' CD WIT 19/19 BANGERZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know you only wanted a rating, but... A CD LIKE THIS DESERVES WAYYYYYYY MORE THAN A RATING!!!!! I HOPE tha otha CD you told me ta check out sounds JUST AS GOOD!!!!! BTW, for your information, tha lowest rating on this CD was only a 4.3, which sets tha record for best lowest rating on a review, ya dig!! Tha previous record was 4.2, set by C-Loc "Under That Old Law" when I reviewed it last September. Glad you beat it, and I HOPE you keep doin' yo thang wit tha music!! I don't know what else ta say... You know how I feel about this!

There are times where it can be cool (just like I reviewed your song just now), but because "Gets No Better" was a HUGE song wit me from last year, when I heard someone else on tha beat from this year, I automatically refused ta listen to it 'cause of tha otha song bein' an original beat/song. I consider it a "225 vs. 225" (or a "Baton Rouge vs. Baton Rouge") song. So, my question iz, do they make tha exclusive beats for multiple people to rap on before someone finalizes tha beat and tha song, or do tha beats just leak in Baton Rouge?
½time: Well, VERY GOOD start to this mixtape, fa real!! I thought it was gonna be jacked beats, but all tha beats have been GOIN' HARDER THAN A MA'FUCKA, your hooks are catchy as hell/are tha truth, and tha rhymes/rappin' iz REAL GREAT, ya dig!! Don't think this tha only review I'm doin' for you! Tha day ain't ova yet!! Average CD rating iz currently a WHOPPIN' 4.6!!!
10. "Last Nite" Feat. Head First Hard Heads
Not sure if it's 2 featured artists, 1, or a click... Looks like a fuckin' song? Lemme see... >>> Nice beat here! Catchy start, and nowhere near a fuckin' song, lol! Good job wit tha motivational hook, and tha 1st verse iz here from you, still goin' on about tha streetz! Pretty lyrical here, and it's soundin' good! Thank God it ain't borin' like a lotta people make borin' lyrical songs! LOL @ how Head "woke up" on tha 2nd verse. He sounds REAL cool on this shit, so you KNOW he doin' tha damn thang!! Nice job; glad you made me discover Head! Tha 3rd verse here, and it has good lyrics; nice and consistent. I like how it went acapella wit "tha dream" part! My Rating: 4.4
11. "Smokin' N Fuckin'"
This should be REAL GREAT!! Glad a white dude like you iz pullin' off a double title like this!! You and your multiple verbs! >>> Anotha different beat start, but tha beat ALWAYS picks up by tha time it tha hook! Catchy hook all in tha bed! Tha 1st verse here, and you DEFINITELY nice wit tha flow here! Really feelin' tha mix of tha sexual lyrics wit tha nice smokin'/jiggin' lyrics! Glad you "inhalin' on tha swisha." Nice, catchy 1st verse! Down ta "1 rubber, 1 swisha," 1 err-thang on tha 2nd verse. But, tha fiendin'll rise up! Nice job on that 2nd verse, especially your flow! Really like tha start to tha 3rd verse wit tha "shiiiit" part ta start it off! Nice job on tha 3rd verse too! My Rating: 4.4
12. "Love Being From Da South"
And I "LOVE" supportin' Louisiana!!! >>> Back to tha REAL GREAT beats again!! Tha intro real good too! Tha hook iz NICE and self-explained!! Glad you "love" all that Baton Rouge shit in tha 1st verse; thanx 4 extra expressin' yourself! Here we are on tha 2nd verse, "lovin'" that you "from tha city as Max Minelli, C-Loc," and err-body! Yea, you "love" a part of "G-Lane;" glad you brought them up (shout out to my boy Blu Black)!! A 3rd verse here... You even "love runnin' from tha BRPD?" I dunno about that... I guess you got GR8 evasion skillz! Nice job on tha 3rd verse; couldn't get enough of this song/tha rhymes!! My Rating: 4.7
13. "Tired"
I expect this ta be slower... >>> Yea, much slower, and different from tha style I really like. Either way, tha hook iz SO me!! I always get "stabbed in tha back" and get taken advantage of too much! However, now that I'm 21, that ain't happenin' AT ALL 'cause if I catch it, I silently disappear from anybody that wants ta treat me like an asshole! Nice 1st verse wit those GREAT lyrics ta go wit this song too! Likin' tha 2nd verse too; I like tha "tired of bein' a fuckin' yo-yo" part! Very expressive here, and I'm likin' it, which iz rare for these kinda songs! Not bad on tha lil' singin'/holdin' notes part within tha last 50 seconds, as well as tha talkin' at tha end. My Rating: 4.3
14. "Shit Creek"
A "shit creek?" I KNOW I gon like this due to HUGE unexpectedness!!! >>> Nice beat intro, and tha beat iz not bad; sounds good wit you on it. You're rappin' pretty good on tha 1st verse; on a money mission here! Nice job on that 1st verse, and LOL @ tha definition of tha hook! "You a shit stain flowin' down a 'shit creek';" I feel ya on this! Reminds me of that "This'll Never Work" definition of its title. Tha 2nd verse here, and yea, "mama didn't raise no hoe [you];" I feel ya on that one! Nice job on tha 3rd verse too; definin' how it goes down in tha 225! My Rating: 4.6
15. "Came A Long Way"
You DEFINITELY have "came a long way" wit this CD!! Who would've thought it would be one of tha BEST thangz I've eva reviewed in Baton Rouge?? DEFINITELY, statistically in my top 5 best, statistically!! >>> Pretty good beat start. Oh, tha length only 2:43, so I gon have ta get inta this fast! Catchy hook this time, so that's a plus. Doin' tha damn thang "unsigned hype" style on tha 1st verse here! I like how they use 225 as "deuce & a quarter" as anotha reference; that's watz good! Only tha BEST from Baton Rouge!!! Tha 2nd verse here, and you're such a problem, as you're "every single parent's problem!" Good job on that 2nd verse right there; nothin' but GR8 shit from you!! My Rating: 4.4
16. "Ain't No Worries"
Anotha unsure title for me... I noticed how 14/16 songs have been just you so far! You REALLY "doin' tha damn thang" (like your song) for someone doin' these tracks by yourself, ya dig!! >>> Real slow start, and tha hook ain't that bad; it's actually good for a slow song. Once again, anotha good beat here! Real good lyrics on tha 1st verse here; str8 emotional, struggle-type street shit! I REALLY HOPE THIS AIN'T "your last day livin'" or "this last verse written!" You DEFINITELY DON'T NEED TA DIE!!! That ain't gon happen AT ALL!!! Great 2nd verse on this too; keep doin' ya thang!! I like tha beat outro... oh wait, it's tha hook again, lol. Then, that's a plus too! My Rating: 4.4
17. "Welcome To The Terror Dome"
Uh oh... A TOUGH title here!! REALLY lookin' forward ta this!!!!! >>> Anotha GREAT beat for ANOTHA bound ta be great song!!! Real good 1st verse wit those non-stop rhymes you be spittin'! Tha hook here, and it's DEFINITELY that street shit that you want!! Plus, it's also different (look at tha title), so you KNOW you got an automatic plus here!! Keepin' it hood for tha 2nd verse here; non-stop shit from dat boy V.I.P.!! Tha 3rd verse here, and it SO STRONG that "even Bush can't stop you" on this shit!! REAL NICE ending to tha 3rd verse wit leavin' 'em "laid out, chalk-lined all in tha street;" TOO HARD!!! My Rating: 4.6
18. "Out My Mind" Feat. D-So Of Da Jiggalators
Yea!! Jiggalatin' power right here!! This should be a REAL NICE one!!! >>> Yea, "Mod Productions on tha beat" here!! A REAL catchy shit right here wit that NICE hook; str8 club shit right here!! Tha 1st verse here, and it SO jiggalated!! LOL @ tha "if you be actin' pussy, grow a dick, and grow up;" that was NICE!! Nice job, V.I.P., on tha 1st verse!! Here's tha 2nd verse here from dat boy D-So!! Yea, he soundin' REAL NICE on this shit!! He such "a Jigga City animal" like he said! Great street shit fa tha 225 hoods right here, and he just keeps goin' wit this shit!! REALLY enjoyed his verse to tha fullest!! Mod Productions did a REAL NICE job wit dis beat!! My Rating: 4.8
19. "Can't Stop My Shine" Feat. J-Bae & ChaYsuh
LOL @ endin' wit tha original version... Should've flipped tha 2nd part wit this one. Anyway, tha ending song, so let's end it BIG!!!!! >>> That catchy beat here, and that catchy hook too! Startin' tha 1st verse off here wit J-Bae, makin' y'all "catch one in your a-hole" when he spits this shit!! Really feelin' his verse right now!! Tight shit from that dude, and now, dat boy ChaYsuh comin' through NICE on tha 2nd verse!! He had a GREAT attitude on this, doin' tha damn thang!! Finally, it's you on tha 3rd verse, lol! At least you're endin' your CD wit yourself, ya dig! Still soundin' great, and that iz TOO hot!! I'll tie tha rating for Pt. 2 wit this, but this wins in a tie-breaker! Nice fade-out in tha beat! My Rating: 4.6
Overall: AN OVERWHELMIN' CD WIT 19/19 BANGERZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know you only wanted a rating, but... A CD LIKE THIS DESERVES WAYYYYYYY MORE THAN A RATING!!!!! I HOPE tha otha CD you told me ta check out sounds JUST AS GOOD!!!!! BTW, for your information, tha lowest rating on this CD was only a 4.3, which sets tha record for best lowest rating on a review, ya dig!! Tha previous record was 4.2, set by C-Loc "Under That Old Law" when I reviewed it last September. Glad you beat it, and I HOPE you keep doin' yo thang wit tha music!! I don't know what else ta say... You know how I feel about this!
