FrankieThaLuckyDog in tha buildin' again, ya dig! 'Bout ta review a bunch of
CDs I got via tha mail, lol! I cleared tha 9 I had on my computer, and now, I
got around 9 sittin' right next ta me! Tha 1st one was sent to me by tha Tre
Wayz representative dude, so I'm glad I got it! It's Lil' Smoov
"Swagged Out"; here's my review (let's see what happens)! Start
Time: 11:14 PM | End Time: 12:43 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!

01. "Swagged Out"
EXTREMELY CLUELESS on what to expect... This iz a 1st time hearin'! >>> Sounds like a good beat for tha intro here! Tha talkin' in tha beginning gets me anticipated, and when you say, "you see these Coogi pants? And how I let 'em sag," I have a HUGE expectation of feelin' this a WHOLE LOT, so tha hook iz DEFINITELY watz good!! "Swagged out" to tha fullest wit dat Coogi, ya dig!! Tha 1st verse here, and keepin' it fresh ALL OVA YO BODY!! Even got sum "LRG" on these hataz, ya dig! DEFINITELY feelin' tha 1st eva verse I heard from you! Here comes tha 2nd verse here, and I like tha "bread longer than a phone cord" and tha "pills" part; thumbs up to tha fullest!! Real nice 2nd verse too, ESPECIALLY "lettin' ya shit sag" at tha end! My Rating: 4.5
02. "In Da Matrix" Feat. Lil' Russ & Crowley Redd
I heard this iz a HUGE SONG from so-called Lil' Russ, who was 'pose ta call me back July 10 (shit, that ova a month ago already?). He hasn't sent me anything in tha mail, so I don't know how I gon help him out. But now, I get ta hear it on here!! >>> Tha hook iz DEFINITELY nice, as well as that hook!! Oh wait, that was just tha intro! Now, it's tha hook (wit tha "rollin', rollin', rollin'" shit); REAL, REAL TIGHT!! That's Lil' Russ on tha 1st verse... Glad he rapid-fire wit this Rap shit!! EXTREMELY jiggalated here on this verse, so that's a MEGA plus!! A REAL, REAL NICE JOB on that 1st verse!!! Tha 2nd verse iz here (as I still can't get enough of tha Lil' Russ verse) from you, Smoov, doin' tha damn thang wit this attitude on tha rhymin'!! You did yo thang on that verse, pickin' up from where Russ left off!! This tha 337, so this iz sum REAL NICE borderline 225 shit that sounds REAL, REAL GREAT!!! Let's see what Crowley got on tha 3rd verse... NO DECENT SHIT HERE!!! "Gettin' loaded" on this shit "wit his whoadie," so you KNOW this shit iz on and poppin'!!! Really "gone in tha zone" (as it was repeated 3x) on this shit here!! REAL INCREDIBLE 1st listen!! Baton Rouge mixtapes BETTA NOT ignore this song 'cause that would be a REAL BAD look!! Anywayz, perfect song!! My Rating: 5.0
03. "On Me"
Just you on this shit right here wit only 2:27 on tha length, exactly 2 minutes shorter than tha last song... Hope you TEAR IT UP!!! >>> Yuck, bad start. "Let tha beat cry?" I don't wanna hear cryin'! I luv hearin' "bruh" and "dawg" in songs; you put them in tha intro ta make me get into this, lol. Fa real, I can't stand high-pitched female vocals in tha background of songs; it sounds real gay in my opinion! Either way, tha rappin' iz DEFINITELY on fire! Tha "AT&T" part was NICE!! Really tight 2nd verse too; fired up rappin'!! Due to tha REAL HOT rappin', tha rating ain't that bad for me. My Rating: 3.4
04. "Stunt Hard"
Looks like it gon be good; lookin' forward to this one! >>> Nope, anotha thumbs down fa me. Tha last song wasn't much of a thumbs down due to it grew on me wit tha rhymes. However, not likin' tha beginning/hook at all wit tha aight beat + Auto-Tune'd vocals! It sounds like Lil' Wayne towards tha end of it? But, at least tha rappin' iz normal here on tha 1st verse; you doin' yo thang! "Connected like laptops;" tight shit! I like tha "outta style" part too; great 1st verse here!! Really doin' tha damn thang on tha hooks! Great job on this 2nd verse here; str8 fire wit tha rhymes!! Yea, you DEFINITELY "got it poppin' like tha fireworks on New Year's!" My Rating: 3.1
05. "Guns High"
Only 2:36 on tha length here; let's see... >>> Okay beat you chose that was Ace Hood & R. City's; let's see how good you are... Of course, that 1st verse couldn't last 5 SECONDS without you doin' tha damn thang!!! You got a GR8 attitude wit this shit, and tha rhymes are just GR8 that you spittin'!! Nice job on tha 2nd verse wit that real street shit. My Rating: 3.9
EDIT: Because there was no official title on tha tracklisting, I just named it afta tha Ace Hood/R. City original track.
06. "Go Getta"
Sure you are (as I originally read tha title as "Bound To Get It")... Keep pushin' ya name out there!! >>> Title error? This iz #6, and it's sayin' "go getta" all in tha hook, which iz REAL HOT!! Tha title on tha tracklisting says "Bound To Get It" instead. Either way, you DEFINITELY got tha gr8 rappin' here wit tha gr8 attitude! Tha 2nd verse here already, and you REALLY inta tha gurlz here! Great voice fa this shit; str8 shit for tha hood! My Rating: 4.3
07. "Bound To Get It"
Not sure of tha title here, so lemme see what gon come out... >>> Here comes an "Ain't I" beat; let's see how you do... Real interestin' rhymes here; soundin' GR8 as a freestyle!! You're not 21 yet (as you said "by 21, I prolly see a mill")? You sound good fa bein' younger than me! Either way, tha title iz "Bound To Get It" (unlike on tha tracklisting, it says "I'm Extra"). I guess that one ova tha Ace Hood/R. City beat has a TBA title for now, which pushed each track down by 1 on tha tracklisting. Either way, nice job on tha 2nd verse too; gotta feel this shit you be spittin'!! My Rating: 4.0
08. "I'm Extra"
No clue what ta expect... Prolly over someone else's beat again. >>> Not sure if it exactly iz, but it's a nice start!! I like tha "*sound effect* like openin' up a Sprite bottle" line! Great job on your great 1st verse!! I like tha whole "test" shit in tha hook; REAL CATCHY hook!!! "100/100 on my wardrobe! 105/100 on my swag!" Interestin' room lyrics in tha 2nd verse, as well as your rhyme skillz; REAL NICE towards tha end of it!! REAL TIGHT hook on this GR8 track right here!! My Rating: 4.4
½time: Pretty good start so far! Afta tha 1st 2 songs, I was really hopin' tha whole mixtape was original shit, but it somewhat mixed. At least your rappin' iz DEFINITELY on a REAL NICE level here, ya dig!! Average CD rating iz currently 4.1!
09. "No More" Feat. X-Rated
What happened to X-Rated? Don't say, "he got shot/murdered," 'cause I'll get sick to my stomach! Sorry ta hear he died! Hope he spits sum HOT SHIT on this (hopefully original) track wit you!! >>> Sounds nice and undaground in tha beginning wit tha quality; nice beat & hook! You on tha 1st verse; you KNOW you doin' tha damn thang!! REAL SHIT right here that's NICE & FAST!!! Glad this original fa me, and tha rappin' just goes on SOOOOOO much!!! I really like tha "grade #'s" in your verse (referin' to "8th grade," etc.)! REAL NICE 1st verse, and tha hook iz REAL NICE too!! Here that boy X-Rated on tha 2nd verse, doin' THA DAMN THANG HERE!!! Just like you on tha 1st verse, he REAL, REAL fast!! Even faster than you on this shit!!! Real gangsta shit right here as well as jiggalatin' too!! Damn, just TOO FUCKIN' TIGHT!!! Why'd he have ta die?!? Tha 3rd verse here, and LOTS of "real recognize real" shit goin' on here; gotta show off NOTHIN' but tha real!! Real nice 3rd verse too, as well as that acapella at 3:30 at tha end of it! My Rating: 4.7
10. "That's Me" Feat. Ron G & Big Bizness Snoop
Looks like tha collaborations gon take ova tha 2nd 1/2 of tha CD!!! Lookin' forward ta this one too!! >>> I didn't expect a jacked beat, but unlike tha original version, this should be MUCH betta than tha Chopper City Boyz "Bubblegum" song (which iz what beat this iz)! Nice hook, since it's you! You on tha 1st verse, referrin' to how it was in your schools again; thumbs up to you on that 1st verse! I like tha mixin' in tha 2nd hook wit tha "me--me--nigga--nigga--me--me," etc. part; nice mixin'! Here's tha 2nd verse right here, keepin' it consistent from G! I like tha "frog" part at tha end of tha verse; good shit! Mr. Snoop on tha 3rd verse here, keepin' it "100" wit tha shit he be spittin' here! Definitely liked his voice and style on that verse right there! My Rating: 4.4
11. "My Life" Feat. Vicious
I wonder how this collaboration came about... Either way, it a plus! 4:57 on tha length here too! Wit a legend + a length for tha song, it betta be original, and HOPEFULLY not what beat I think it iz!! >>> Good that it original. Hope it gets betta wit tha slow start here... Glad tha beat good now (sounds like a down South Rap version of a Keyshia Cole beat), and it sounds like you doin' a nice job deliverin' that street shit in tha 1st verse! Pretty good 1st verse right there from you; always comin' through wit tha nice flow! Hook iz aight ta me. Not that bad, although not really feelin' tha background singin'. Here's Vicious on tha 2nd verse here, doin' his thang (as always) on these features that I see him on! All tha shit he be spittin' iz nice; glad he collaborated wit you! You're back here on tha 3rd verse, deliverin' more street shit here (as always)! Pretty good joint right here. My Rating: 3.8
12. "I Remember"
Sequel to tha last song? >>> Nice beat start here; let's see when tha beat kicks in... Okay, soundin' pretty good. Glad you still rappin' 'bout "school" here; you still in school or college now? You have ta be college by now... You said, "5th grade. Then, a year lata... Now, 3 years lata, look where I am;" so, are you only in 9th grade? Pretty good hook, and tha 2nd verse here, soundin' like you have great socializin' wit peeps. Hate ta say it, but it tha complete opposite wit me. I have Autism, and it's quite sad how I don't socialize wit many people face-to-face. You don't know HOW JEALOUS I get when I hear people socializin' and shit all tha time! It's like, as much as people are REAL GREEDY for money, I'm REAL, REAL GREEDY for active socializin' and loyalty 'cause it REAL HARD fa me ta achieve! I'm glad Louisiana people (networkin') iz helpin' me socialize and shit, ESPECIALLY on tha phone; it REALLY helps! LOL @ your ending to tha 2nd verse wit "get ya social game up;" thanx, and good job on tha 2nd verse! Still keepin' it good on tha 3rd verse wit this shit! Glad you gave a history on shit here; I'm definitely likin' this!! My Rating: 4.3
13. "Coogi Hat"
Oh, what a nice title! I KNOW it a MAJOR PLUS already!! Let's see how different this iz from Foxx's "Coogi Down"! >>> Not sure if that's one of our Louisiana peeps on tha sample (I forget), but it's a NICE sample for this shit, as well as that beat ta go wit it!! Neva mind, that Boosie on tha sample, lol. He sounds nice and slow on this shit, lol! Yuck @ you "doin' your dougie;" at least you jiggin' though! Pretty good rhymes right here! I thought you was gon be 100+% about tha clothes and shit in tha verse. Here comes tha 2nd verse here, as you have "tha hit of tha moment" as I'm listenin' ta this, ya dig; I agree. Great job on tha 2nd verse too! My Rating: 4.2
14. "Honey Dip" Feat. JR Writer
I know this original version (Diplomats style); let's see what you add to it... >>> You doin' a not bad job on this. Not sure of my interest level as it's not an original... An aight 1st verse from you. Featuring Hell Rell? That's JR Writer on tha 2nd verse. You're on tha 3rd verse, so I gon fix tha error right now. A lil' betta from your 3rd verse, but there ain't much interest from me in this... My Rating: 2.7
15. "Block My Shine" Feat. C.Y.
I like how there's a defender in tha title (tha word "block"); this should be interestin' ta hear from you!! >>> Why tha R&B (like it special) intro? Bad snap beat here, but good synth. Yuck @ focusin' on tha "snappin'" in tha hook. That last song version was not for me, and this iz just worse for me. A somewhat aight/good 1st verse from you. No featured singer ID? A lil' betta flow on tha 2nd verse; good lyrics for this song. A featured rapper on tha 3rd verse too (he said, "C.Y.," so I gon put that in tha ID)... Soundin' good for this track I guess. My Rating: 2.4
16. "Tribute To X-Rated (R.I.P. Brailon Jamal Webster)"
I'ma try and be nice wit this one... Just, don't be too depressin' on me for an ending song to this mixtape! >>> LOL, tha beat ain't depressin' at all, and it sounds nice and undaground on tha quality!! I got a lil' smile here! Sounds like X-Rated samples in this? Somewhat different hook; I'll accept how it sounds. Tha females actually sound pretty catchy on tha hook. Tha 1st verse here, and it soundin' pretty good. Soundin' pretty long for a 1st verse? Lot goin' on here, which I somewhat am not able ta keep up wit. However, nice job wit tha rappin'! Okay, tha verse ended, so tha hook here again, and accordin' to it, there was snitchin' involved in how he died? That sux if that true! Tha 2nd verse here, and it sounds like you exposin' sum fake shit out there vs. your real shit; I feel you on this verse! Nice job on tha verse, but I don't know how this has ta do SO much wit X-Rated... I prolly could've had a better idea wit a beat like this too. It sounded like you were really rappin' about yourself towards tha end. Iz that 'pose ta be X-Rated rappin' at tha end? I can tell... It DEFINITELY sum TIGHT-ASS shit!!! Glad that it's acapella!! "Like I was neva scared, like I was Bone Crusher; I'ma bone-crush ya!" Talk about HOT SHIT!!! GREAT ENDING part from X-Rated!!! My Rating: 4.1
Overall: Well, pretty good mixtape for a 1st time hearin' Smoov. DEFINITELY a great rapper though!! Most of tha songs on here were a plus, so that's watz good! Keep doin' ya thang out there, and HOPEFULLY no more deaths!!!

I thought you was gon be 100+% about tha clothes and shit in tha verse. Here comes tha 2nd verse here, as you have "tha hit of tha moment" as I'm listenin' ta this, ya dig; I agree. Great job on tha 2nd verse too! My Rating: 4.2

I like how there's a defender in tha title (tha word "block"); this should be interestin' ta hear from you!! >>> Why tha R&B (like it special) intro? Bad snap beat here, but good synth. Yuck @ focusin' on tha "snappin'" in tha hook. That last song version was not for me, and this iz just worse for me. A somewhat aight/good 1st verse from you. No featured singer ID? A lil' betta flow on tha 2nd verse; good lyrics for this song. A featured rapper on tha 3rd verse too (he said, "C.Y.," so I gon put that in tha ID)... Soundin' good for this track I guess. My Rating: 2.4
16. "Tribute To X-Rated (R.I.P. Brailon Jamal Webster)"
I'ma try and be nice wit this one... Just, don't be too depressin' on me for an ending song to this mixtape! >>> LOL, tha beat ain't depressin' at all, and it sounds nice and undaground on tha quality!! I got a lil' smile here! Sounds like X-Rated samples in this? Somewhat different hook; I'll accept how it sounds. Tha females actually sound pretty catchy on tha hook. Tha 1st verse here, and it soundin' pretty good. Soundin' pretty long for a 1st verse? Lot goin' on here, which I somewhat am not able ta keep up wit. However, nice job wit tha rappin'! Okay, tha verse ended, so tha hook here again, and accordin' to it, there was snitchin' involved in how he died? That sux if that true! Tha 2nd verse here, and it sounds like you exposin' sum fake shit out there vs. your real shit; I feel you on this verse! Nice job on tha verse, but I don't know how this has ta do SO much wit X-Rated... I prolly could've had a better idea wit a beat like this too. It sounded like you were really rappin' about yourself towards tha end. Iz that 'pose ta be X-Rated rappin' at tha end? I can tell... It DEFINITELY sum TIGHT-ASS shit!!! Glad that it's acapella!! "Like I was neva scared, like I was Bone Crusher; I'ma bone-crush ya!" Talk about HOT SHIT!!! GREAT ENDING part from X-Rated!!! My Rating: 4.1
Overall: Well, pretty good mixtape for a 1st time hearin' Smoov. DEFINITELY a great rapper though!! Most of tha songs on here were a plus, so that's watz good! Keep doin' ya thang out there, and HOPEFULLY no more deaths!!!
