Review #361: Gutta Boy "20-$taxx On Deck"

Reviewed on 12.14.2009 (Night of 12.13.2009) (Review #361)




Once again, ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog doin’ tha damn thang reviewin’ hard, ya heard me!! And I don’t stop showin’ luv ta tha newer artists to tha fullest!!! Up next iz my boy Gutta Boy, who now goes by tha name Gutta Gucci. This iz one of his mixtapes from earlier in tha year that was in his MySpace blog. Luckily, tha download link still worked when I got it!! And now, here goes my review fa Gutta Boy 20-$taxx On Deck!! Start Time: 1:30 AM | End Time: 2:52 AM



Quick Note: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0. Each rating iz my own opinion!! I only please myself with 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) so 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.

01. “Turn It Up”
Best believe we gon get dat Gutta Boy sound comin’ out my speakers right now!!! >>> You KNOW it’s Gutta Boy based off tha intro wit you speakin’ ‘bout you, your label and all dat good shit! I hear tha hook and although I DEFINITELY like it, it’s kinda based off of Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em’s “Turn My Swag On” when he says, “I’ma ‘bout ta turn it up.” LOL @ you makin’ a follow-up songs ta that quote; who would’ve guessed? Good shit!! And speakin’ of Soulja Boy, you mentioned him in tha 1st verse. Tha 1st verse itself sounds gr8 from all tha content of different topics to tha REAL GR8 undaground beat!!! Gotta luv your voice and all dat!! Oh and I think I’m a year older than you so that’s watz good, ya dig!! Tha 2nd verse iz here and it sounds pretty good wit tha shit you’re spittin’. Basically, what you’re rappin’ about iz just a rapper in tha hood at any place. Damn, tha last 70 seconds iz just an ending? Prolly could’ve fit anotha verse in! It somewhat cool though that you talked a lil’ at tha end and then tha beat stayed on. My Rating: 4.3


02. “Gutta Feel”
LOL, gotta FUCKIN’ luv it already!!! >>> I had a gr8 anticipation based off tha title!! And speakin’ of tha title, you KNOW it’s official wit tha hook here wit tha “I’m on that syrrrrrrrrrrup!! I’m on dat weed” shit!!! DEFINITELY watz good here!! And even you’re quotin’ “Out Da Box” too! Interestin’ mix of sex and drugs here on tha 1st verse; you DEFINITELY makin’ yourself feel good to tha fullest!! How else can someone like you feel betta? DEFINITELY enjoyed tha 1st verse and I hear tha actual hook and tha “syrrrrrrrrrrrrrrup” part was just tha beginning part. It would’ve been cool if it was a part of tha hook! Just as much as you was loaded in tha 1st verse, you DEFINITELY know how ta get loaded on tha 2nd verse here, doin’ tha damn thang on dis “gutta” beat here!!! Now, you got a 3rd verse and I’m DEFINITELY glad you do!! Wow, tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse iz just ULTRA FAST here!!! Gotta DEFINITELY luv it now!!!!! My Rating: 4.7


03. “I Got It”
Gotta luv tha short titles!!! >>> Yea, tha Auto-Tune iz horrible ta hear but you sound hilarious wit tha vocals/drug lyrics and NOW this beat!! Hopefully there’s no otha Auto-Tune songs afta this one! LOL @ tha start to tha 1st verse; you really in luv wit sex and drugs to tha fullest! Gotta support you, ya dig! Oh, so tha whole time that wasn’t you on tha 1st verse? Who was it then? Unless your voice was really changed? Anyway, tha 2nd verse iz definitely you and once again, pretty bad ta have tha Auto-Tune on your voice. I liked tha 1st verse/hook person (whoeva it exactly iz) betta. This could’ve been betta without tha Auto-Tune but it served as an odd mix wit REAL GR8 trap lyrics!!! My Rating: 3.9


04. “Money Talk”
LOL, keep it comin’, my boy!! >>> An okay beat start… What tha hell iz this weird Rick Ross start? Huh? It’s Rick Ross on tha 1st verse? Weird… His verse was catchy and tha dude on tha hook sounds familiar… I can’t rememba their name so it goes ta show you how my mainstream knowledge decreased, lol. LOL @ tha volume slightly fadin’ up when your verse was ‘bout ta start! See, now it sounds MUCH betta wit you on tha 2nd verse!! Nice job deliverin’ this shit, my boy!! My Rating: 4.0


05. “I Kno”
LOL again; got BUKU luv fa you, dawg!! >>> This a Vybe beat? I think I heard his beat tag in tha background of tha intro! Tha hook sounds catchy here; you’re spittin’ knowledge when it comes ta this street shit! Sounds like you’re REALLY on tha grind here on tha 1st verse!! Gr8 job spittin’ some gutta shit! A different dude on tha 2nd verse? No source? It was good fa what it was… Nice job wit Vybe on tha beat, lacin’ it fa you!! My Rating: 3.9



06. “Livin’ In Darkness” Feat. A.U. & JL
Looks like a cool collaboration and a gr8 title!! I wanna see what you got wit dis one… >>> Must be a jacked beat ‘cause tha intro sample iz weird. Not that boring once you get on tha track! Some good hood shit/shit someone would be missin’ that’s bein’ spit in tha 1st verse! Sounds like A.U. on tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse? Whoeva it iz, they from tha streetz here wit dat street-lived shit! Tha hook (or tha 2nd verse?) sounds aight… I didn’t expect it ta be singin’… I guess it’s tha hook ‘cause I hear tha 2nd verse rappin’. If dat dude that did tha hook iz on tha 2nd verse rappin’, then that’s DEFINITELY watz good!! It’s like we go from singin’ ta FAST-ASS rappin’!! My Rating: 3.7


07. “Phenin’”
LOVE it!!! And this one iz 5:03 so it DEFINITELY gon be nice and long wit just you on it!!! >>> I thought tha beat would kick hard or somethin’ in tha beginning? Why anotha weird sample? Almost sounds like Ross again wit tha “I keep ‘em comin’ back” shit in tha hook… It wasn’t dat bad but I expected a lot from a title like dis!! You sound catchy on tha 1st verse here, spittin’ some thug shit. Tha 2nd verse soundin’ good too wit you spittin’ some good shit. However, I thought this would be more on tha drug tip since tha title iz “Phenin’.” You soundin’ good on tha 3rd verse this time, still spittin’ some pretty good shit. Tha rest of it was basically tha hook… Still was nice and relaxin’. My Rating: 3.5


08. “Coming Home” Feat. JL
A different title this time… >>> A touch faster but more on tha R&B side here; I hear singin’ in tha hook. I guess this iz just you testin’ out a mixtape wit these kinda songs… Tha hook sounds good though fa tha streetz. Tha 1st verse from you iz okay here. It sounds like you’re gettin’ married or somethin’ wit tha shit you’re rappin’ about? Rememba dat it’s money ova bitches so once you have a kid (not sure if you do ‘cause you mentioned somethin’ about it on tha 1st or 2nd song I think), you’re “money” chances are decreased and appear less frequent, in my opinion. Tha 2nd verse from tha featured singer (tha JL dude again? I’ll put him in tha ID!) doin’ a nice job wit tha fast-ass rappin’ again!! Gr8 shit right there and you’re on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse, Gutta! You’re very luvable to these females right here, lol! They GOTTA luv you!!! My Rating: 3.6


09. “What If”
Not sure about these titles now… They keep trickin’ me… >>> LOL @ tha fade-in (sounded like) in tha beginning! Sounds like an intro sample or somethin’ in tha beginning! Ooh, a Vybe beat!! Now, I hear tha hook and it’s DEFINITELY a remedy to tha slower sounds of tha last songs!! It sounds like you havin’ fun wit this joint right here; tha title fooled me in a good way!! You REALLY spittin’ thangz fast here on tha 1st verse!!! Sounds like there’s mic sounds (or crunchin’) in when you either rap or tha beat? Sounds kinda annoyin’ at times; too bad it’s there… But, you DEFINITELY tore up tha 1st verse!!! And now, I’m hearin’ tha 2nd verse and you just keep GOIN’ WIT THIS TIGHT SHIT!!! Yea, would tha follow-up person in your life “be tha next Gutta Boy?” LOL, that’s tha question! You DEFINITELY told it wit a quality style in tha 2nd verse!! Too bad there wasn’t room fa a 3rd verse but you DEFINITELY sounded gr8 thanx ta Vybe providin’ tha beat!! My Rating: 4.5


½time: Pretty good so far. Looks like you keepin’ it street; sometimes, you keep it street a different way. Either way, tha CD sounds nice! You KNOW it’s official when tha average CD rating currently iz a 4.0!


10. “Playin’ With Fire”
Looks like a familiar title… I can call it good but will I get fooled again, lol? >>> I hear those annoyin’ sounds again from tha last song; it’s more noticeable in this intro. Sounds like tha Lil’ Wayne song that he had last year or somethin’? This a lil’ random? Lemme see how good you got it on tha 1st verse… Tha quality of tha sound keeps gettin’ worse wit dat weird sound or whateva it iz… I don’t know why it’s happenin’… I rechecked tha previous songs and they sound tha way they originally sounded… Tha 1st verse was pretty good fa what it was. Tha 2nd verse sounds like someone else iz on it? They sound good fa this shit right here. Although it’s a lil’ annoyin’ wit tha bad soundin’, I think some Auto-Tune came flyin’ in tha 2nd verse, smh. I randomly heard Lil’ Wayne within tha 2nd verse, lol. Tha 1st start to tha 3rd verse was okay. Now, when you came in on tha 3rd verse, tha ANNOYIN’-ASS SOUND WENT AWAY!! Nice job wit tha magic and your parts on tha 3rd verse were pretty good overall; sounded like a back ‘n’ forth verse wit your “mysterious,” unsourced boy, lol! My Rating: 3.4


11. “Trap-A-Holic”
LOL, dat’s you!! >>> Sounds like an original beat? I heard someone’s tag in tha beginning (couldn’t make out their name). Tha hook sounds tight; you KNOW you’re on yo trap shit!! You DEFINITELY tha trap shop here on tha 1st verse wit as much as you’re open to tha trappaz!! Nice job deliverin’ tha trap shit in tha 1st verse; keep this shit up!! ROFL!! A random featured artist appeared in tha 2nd verse; who iz it? I like how he said, “Baton Rouge,” (like “Bat-ton Rouge”)! He sounds like he would fit gr8 wit Gates wit his near-Jamaican voice! Gr8 shit right here and lol @ tha ending wit an ending beat goin’, “I got it;” tight shit! My Rating: 4.1


12. “I’m Hot” Feat. Tezzy Maine
Oh, we got dis song right here! I had a bunch of your songs on my last radio show (which you checked in via text message thanx to my Facebook comment) and this one I played randomly. I forgot what it sounded like but I’m glad I played it!! Now, it’s time ta review it and see what I say! >>> You KNOW it’s Baton Rouge wit tha breathin’ in tha beginning (or whateva dat “ah! Ah!” sound that iz that Q-Red uses). This ain’t a Q-Red beat though but it’s definitely good. Tha hook sounds cool, ESPECIALLY wit tha “’cause nigga, I’m hotttttttttttttttttttt” part!! Tezzy Maine on tha 1st verse (thanx ta me havin’ tha song that I found out who it was featured on this)! He did a nice job fa what he spit; glad you fuck wit him! Tha 2nd verse from you sounds pretty good on this beat; glad it’s backin’ you up! You do ya thang on tha hook and I’m glad you held it down fa tha 2nd verse too! LMAO, tha song was so short! My Current Rating: 4.4


13. “My Hood (So Retawded)”
MUCH betta title here than some of tha confusin’ titles in tha past of this CD!!! >>> Tha quality iz very low on this one? I finally got ta hear some of tha hook and it sounds like tha 2nd ½ of it (where I heard tha title)! Tha shit sounds good and tha beat iz DEFINITELY on point here once again!! Tha 1st verse from you soundin’ good, deliverin’ “your hood’s” hood shit!! Nice job wit tha 1st verse and you KNOW we gon keep it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse!! Tha 2nd verse flowed through pretty nice on this shit; gotta feel anything related to tha “hood,” ya dig! My Rating: 4.1



14. “Hood Hard”
LOL, looks like tha same type of title like tha last song! >>> I thought this was an original beat here but it’s from Marvelous J so it ain’t. I don’t know if tha intro fits fa you here… Neva mind, I hear tha random voice on tha hook and it sounds GR8!! Iz this real ‘cause tha hook has “Louisiana” in it? REAL NICE job here!! Sounds like tha 1st verse iz aimed fa “Memphis” (iz tha 1st verse dude from Memphis?). Tha 1st verse went hard on this shit, ya dig! I hear you comin’ through in tha background on tha 2nd verse… Yea, DEFINITELY comin’ through “Baton Rouge” style; I feel ya! Even got “Louisiana on yo feet;” tight shit!! LOL, who iz tha dude on tha 3rd verse also, lol? Almost sounds like Sims from Baton Rouge but I feel dat it’s someone from Memphis based off tha 1st dude… There’s even someone else on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse; good job wit tha flow and rhymes again!! My Rating: 4.4


15. “Light My Fire”
Oh no, anotha “fire” title, yet I feel this iz more on tha Lil’ Wayne level also (prolly gon be his beat). >>> Maybe it was someone else’s beat (‘cause I know tha otha “fire” title was more on Wayne’s level)? Tha hook was okay but I’m glad ta hear you on tha 1st verse once again! Tha short 1st verse sounded pretty good. LOL, tha way your vocals sound on tha hook sound like you’re underwater or somethin’, lol! Glad you even do this Rap shit fa me as you’re shoutin’ out who helped you motivate this Rap shit on tha 2nd verse! I’m not shouted out or anything but I know it’ll be in tha future, ya dig! My Rating: 3.7


16. “On My Mind All Day”
And what iz this? >>> Couldn’t tell if dat was a ballad or a Southern beat at first. It’s DEFINITELY a Southern beat wit Vybe on tha beat again!! Tha 1st verse from a question mark (lol) sounds pretty good wit this Rap shit. I like their “M.O.B.” part: “Man Of Business!” As good as tha 1st verse was, you KNOW it sounds MUCH BETTA wit you on tha 2nd verse, Gutta, rappin’ 100 MPH!!! Your flow iz DEFINITELY cool on this shit!! Tha ending wit tha hook once again sounded cool on this beat! My Rating: 4.2


17. “Party”
LOL, it’s only 121 seconds long! What “party” lasts that long, lol? >>> Yes, ANOTHA Vybe beat!! BOO!! Anotha Auto-Tune song!! Howeva, at least you still keepin’ tha “wasted/loaded” shit in tha hook ta keep tha interest level up! I like how tha beat reversed at :52! You doin’ a pretty cool job on tha 1st verse here wit your “party” lyrics WITHOUT tha Auto-Tune! Glad you also “jiggin’ out yo body!” Cool lil’ short song right here! My Rating: 4.2


18. “Hot Fashion”
LOL, like PAY TV: “Fashion Report,” ya dig! >>> LOL, tha beat sounds GR8; luved how it kicked in when tha hook started!! Tha hook sounds gr8 and it’s DEFINITELY catered to tha females! Tha 1st verse sounded pretty cool fa what it was. You supportive here so no wonder you got luv from buku people AND anotha verse!! You finally said tha title in tha 2nd verse and it sounds like you still in luv here on tha verse. My Rating: 3.9


19. “Walk Thru My Shoes”
Looks like a sad title? I don’t know what ta exactly expect so let’s see… >>> Okay, not on a depressin’ level but more on a “strugglin’” level; it’s more for those in tha hood err-day. Tha hook sounded pretty good fa what it was. You’re officially on tha 1st verse here and you’re expressin’ a life story of yourself here. That’s cool and gr8 for tha people watchin’ this review and listenin’ to your CD! Interestin’ “regret” part towards tha end of tha 1st verse. I regret not knowin’ Louisiana peeps in Early 2007 and instead fuckin’ wit those lames at my 1st college! I get SOOOOOOOOOO jealous!!!!! Soundin’ like touchin’ hood lyrics in tha 2nd verse here and it makes me say, “You’ll survive if you try,” when it comes ta survival! You’re “speakin’ from tha bottom of yo heart” here on tha 3rd verse; nice job and your voice keeps this shit catchy! My Rating: 3.6


Overall: I have ta say I liked tha CD! Now there were a lotta mysterious appearances from prolly only a few people but most of them sounded good! You got my back when it comes ta my radio show and you KNOW I got yours covered when it comes ta this promotional shit, ya heard me! Keep doin’ ya thang, my boy!!!
