Review #374: Juvenile "Cocky & Confident"

Reviewed on 12.29.2009 (Review #374)




It’s ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog still in tha buildin’! This my 4th review today (already?) and it don’t feel like it! I feel like I’m just reviewin’ my ass off!! I’m tryna ta not take any breaks so here we go! Here goes my review fa Juvenile Cocky & Confident, one of my Christmas presents! Start Time: 9:00 PM | End Time: 10:22 PM



Quick Note: 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) 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.

© 2009 CD Review by FrankieThaLuckyDog. Other than tha main artist or affiliated people with tha main artist, this review iz to not be used in anyone else’s words!


01. “Cocky & Confident”
Startin’ this off wit tha title track; what can I expect? >>> This doesn’t sound like a typical beat you would spit on but it sounds good. I definitely like your flow on this and it shows dat you’re still goin’ at this Rap shit, regardless of how many years you’ve been in tha game! Tha hook iz catchy and tha verses are good too. Glad you’re “back” on this shit! My Rating: 4.2


02. “Gotta Get It”
Heard tha remix wit Gucci Mane only like once or twice. I see this iz gettin’ MTV Jams airplay so that’s good. Lemme rehear it and see what I really think about it! >>> This iz tha type of beat style I usually hear from you. I’m still glad you rapped on tha previous beat ‘cause it was nice and upbeat; I always luved your voice on this Rap shit, lol. Tha hook iz pretty cool fa what it iz wit tha “gotta get it” voice. You sound pretty good wit your rappin’ on tha 1st verse; good flow here once again. Here you are on tha 2nd verse, soundin’ pretty good here. Interestin’ “powder” and “pair of slippers” lines, lol. You keepin’ this shit goin’ especially wit a 3rd verse! You feelin’ good durin’ tha 3rd verse so that’s a thumbs up! LMAO @ “they say I’m shitty like a kindergarten’s bathromm;” funny-ass line!! Nice job here, ya dig!! My Current Rating: 4.4


03. “Back Back”
Looks like you’re tha man in control here wit tha title! Let’s see how much haterz can fear it!! >>> Tha beat start sounds cool and a lil’ familiar in a good way. Tha hook sounds cool; I like tha “ain’t no nigga like a big dawg nigga” type shit in tha hook as well as tha 2nd ½ of it wit tha title! Soundin’ pretty interestin’ in tha 1st verse wit tha “play me like a violin” part; you and your catchy rhymes! Hope buku people in tha mainstream picked up this CD; I’m glad I got it fa Christmas! Tha 2nd verse sounds good; you got ya money right! LOL @ tha flow on tha 3rd verse; gotta luv it!! You’re like a big dawg dat can’t be touched wheneva you wanna do thingz, ya dig!! My Rating: 4.3


04. “We Getting Money” Feat. Shawty Lo, Dorrough & Kango Slim
Interestin’ collaboration here!! I should DEFINITELY look forward ta this one!!! >>> Tha beginning sounds kinda typical wit tha “I get plenty g’s. Plenty—plenty g’s…” shit; tha beat iz pretty good. Ooh, tha beat changed to a betta sound at tha :30 mark! Tha hook iz pretty cool; sounds like a mainstream street single! You’re on tha 1st verse here, Mr. “Barbeque,” lol. And, Mr. “Macaroni,” lol! You ALWAYS catchy wit your rhymes and dat good shit!! Shawty Lo iz catchy/okay fa his verse (2nd verse); him and his catchy flow… Interestin’ switch-up at 3:18 wit tha “tune ‘em out” part. I predict this bein’ a Music Choice Rap song sooner or later! Dorrough iz on tha 3rd verse and he’s got some betta lyrics than previous times I heard him. Gr8 contribution here on this track; Kango holdin’ down tha hook too! I like tha “BREAK—Break—break—b…r…e…a…k!” outro! My Rating: 4.1


05. “My Money Don’t Fold” Feat. Kango Slim & T Money
Lots of “money” shit here, lol. Let’s see how this collaboration goes vs. tha previous one!! >>> Tha beat sounds pretty cool here for a start. This iz a pretty catchy hook like tha last song; might be a tie breaker! Here you are on tha 1st verse, Juvie. Tha shit sounds pretty good; more catchy shit from Juvie! LOL @ tha “toilet paper” and “shittin’” part; you give good laughs, lol! You’re also on tha 2nd verse here and it’s soundin’ good once again. Not much ta say but it’s still catchy… Wit Kango holdin’ down anotha gr8 hook (more like tha 2nd ½ of tha hook), T Money gon hold tha 3rd verse down here. Tha flow iz pretty good and it’s still catchy here for tha rhymes. My Rating: 4.0


06. “Feeling Right” Feat. B.G., Cape & Kango Slim
I thought Cape was gon be Calliope Var for a second… But, it’s 3x a charm fa Kango ‘cause he on here again! I got B.G.’s latest CD wit yours fa Christmas this year so right afta I review this CD, I got B.G.’s ta review! Who will win, lol? I still think you’re both gr8 and y’all gon prove it on this collaboration right chea! >>> Sounds like a lil’ bit of a dark mainstream start… I hear tha kicks and it sounds like a typical Juvie beat so this should be good! Tha hook iz DEFINITELY tha shit wit tha “I got tha kush rolled up” and tha “weed” part too; gr8 shit!! You’re on tha 1st verse here and it sounds pretty good. You luv “feeling right” when it comes ta yourself and this Rap shit, ya dig! That’s a plus when it comes ta this shit to tha fullest! Tha 2nd verse iz here and it sounds like we got a catchy flow here. Tha dude really wants ta “feel right” when it comes ta emergin’ inta sex; good shit! Here’s Mr. B.G. on tha 3rd verse, ALWAYS soundin’ good to tha fullest!!! Glad he ALWAYS reps tha streetz 24/7!! He REAL, REAL GOOD on tha hook!! Gotta luv how he says, “money!” My Rating: 4.6


07. “Top Of The Line”
Back to yourself here… How will you do? >>> Ooh, a Mouse beat, lol!! Who would’ve guessed? This should DEFINITELY be some tight-ass shit!! Gotta luv how his beats sound!! This one sounds like a fart in tha beginning, lol! Tha hook iz cool; this iz DEFINITELY a plus automatically ‘cause of Mouse!! You sound pretty cool and ready fa tha 1st verse, Juvie. You’re matchin’ a catchy flow wit this catchy Mouse beat! Tha 2nd verse iz pretty good too, reppin’ for ya hood and tha females all around! There’s even a 3rd verse here and you’re soundin’ pretty good on it. You’re keepin’ tha catchy flow in play and doin’ ya thang still! Gotta luv Mouse’s lil’ chants throughout tha beginning and ending!! My Rating: 4.3


08. “Make U Feel Alright” Feat. Kango Slim & Jay Da Menace
I think Jay iz an old N.O. dude that’s in my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon, where I’m reviewin’ ova 700 CDs from Louisiana! This looks like it’ll be fa tha females; let’s see what it sounds like… >>> A lil’ weird start wit tha Auto-Tune and then tha fast-type of beat. This prolly gon be different than my “slow song” expectation. Tha hook iz pretty catchy wit this gr8 upbeat beat! You’re on tha 1st verse and you’re DEFINITELY “Santa Claus” ‘cause you “make it rain, dear,” lol! Catchy-ass rhymes that crack me up when I hear ‘em, ya dig! I thought this was familiar fa a second but I don’t think it iz… Tha 2nd verse (singin’) iz aight/good. Oh wait, here comes some rappin’! Must be dat boy Jay, doin’ a pretty good job wit his verse. Tha 3rd verse sounds catchy wit tha “video-type” part. My Rating: 3.9


09. “It’s All Hood”
Tha title DEFINITELY applies ta you, lol! >>> Sounds good fa a beat start here. Tha hook sounds like tha intro to tha last song wit tha oddness for a second. It was still a pretty cool hook though fa what it was. Tha 1st verse sounds like you doin’ it big still. LOL @ “swag of an old man!” Sounds like you pretty posititve wit tha “a nigga get an A+” part on tha 2nd verse; good shit. Tha 3rd verse has an unsourced rapper? Who could it be? Pretty catchy verse also. My Rating: 4.0


½time: Gr8 CD right here, Juvie! I’m DEFINITELY feelin’ it as you got buku potential singles and shit! Tha streetz must be PROUD of you!! Tha current average CD rating iz at 4.2 right now!


10. “New Orleans Stunna” Feat. Rawsmoov
Who could tha featured dude be? This iz a definite local title here so let’s see how good it iz!! >>> Sounds like a raw beat here!! Tha beginnin’ wit tha vocals sounds like a Mouse type of styled song (e.g., Lil’ Cali & Lil’ Boosie “I’m All That”). Tha hook iz DEFINITELY tight wit tha combination of tha singin’ and you wit tha title!! Yea, you’re on tha 1st verse here!! Oh, so now, you’re Mr. “Burger King,” lol? It’s my boy Juvie!! You’re back on tha 2nd verse here and you got some “Beyoncé’d up” fans, lol (they wanna be her)! Pretty catchy verse from you here, doin’ tha damn thang! You even got tha 3rd verse on lock here!! Pretty quick verse of a few bars but it did tha damn thang here!! My Rating: 4.5


11. “All Over You” Feat. Kango Slim
He gon lace up tha hook once again wit his quality!! >>> Sounds like Jamie Foxx for tha beginning… I don’t get used ta him singin’ at times so tha hook iz kinda ehh for me… Tha beat iz on tha slow tip here unlike tha one song I thought was slow… You’re on tha 1st verse here, enjoyin’ tha ladies to tha fullest! You’re keepin’ this shit up throughout tha 2nd verse too wit your capturin’ flow for tha ladies! LMAO @ “I’m on your ass like a chair seat!” My Rating: 3.8


12. “You Can’t Stop Me” Feat. Mista Meana, Youngin’ & Kango Slim
Izn’t it Mista Meana instead of Mr. Meanor on tha ID? It looks like it… I expect this ta be a pretty good street anthem! >>> Glad it sounds pretty spooky in tha beginning! Kango sounds betta on this hook although his vocals are still a lil’ weird but it’s still a good hook. LOL @ you wit tha start to tha 1st verse: “You can’t stop me ‘cause I’m a choo choo;” choo, choo, choo!!! It was a cool verse, regardless. Tha dude on tha 2nd verse iz “18,” huh? Must be Youngin’? It’s a pretty good verse on dat hood shit. Nice “made ‘em all stop like a 4-way” part! Tha last verse here iz Mista Meana; I gon fix tha ID ta tha correct spellin’. It sounds like it’s some good street shit here! My Rating: 4.2


13. “Break It Down” Feat. Q Corvette
Now, we got a Corvette on tha feature, lol!! This should prolly be good!! >>> Sounds pretty interestin’ wit just tha piano in tha beginning. I had a feelin’ tha featured artist was gonna be a singer ‘cause of tha Q name. Usually, a Q name reminds me of what an R&B singer would be. Your short 1st verse was good fa tha gurlz here as well as tha hook, which attracts tha booty, lol, ya dig! This beat iz pretty cool here for a joint like this. You’re too rich on tha 2nd verse here as you “still have money from tha ‘Bling Bling’ song,” lol! Pretty good ending too ta this. My Rating: 4.0


14. “I’m Out Chere” Feat. Rico Love
This should be good also! >>> LOL, anotha singer here. Tha hook sounds different/odd in a good way fa me, lol. I like how he says tha title, lol. You’re on tha 1st verse, Juvie, and your flow iz pretty cool here, lol. It’s always cool when you just spittin’ some good shit! LOL @ tha “bling’s like, ‘rrrrrrrrrr!!!’” part! Nice job deliverin’ tha 1st verse right there, my boy! You “out chere” for tha streetz durin’ tha 2nd verse, showin’ err-body it’s you, ya dig! Pretty good job deliverin’ dat verse and I look forward to tha remainin’ verse! It sounds like it could be tha best verse outta tha three; you got a good hood flow here! Nice job wit tha 3rd verse, holdin’ it down and tha hook once again iz gr8! Gotta feel tha whole “sticky” shit in tha hook too! My Rating: 4.2


15. “I’m Shining” Feat. Mouse
From bein’ “out chere,” you’re DEFINITELY “shining,” I know dat. Let’s see how you do on this joint… >>> LOL @ tha beat start!! It sounds like Mouse again on tha beat!! Iz dat him in tha beginning? TIGHT shit here for a start!! Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good wit you on it too! Nice job deliverin’ it and Mouse iz DEFINITELY on this shit!! He DEFINITELY sounds tha best when it comes ta hooks!! Glad he collaborated wit you here; I gon add him to tha ID! Tha 2nd verse iz here and it sounds like tha haterz are bein’ infected by thingz ta inflict “Asthma” and all dat, lol. Tha 3rd verse iz pretty good too; more street shit here! Tha endin’ sounds pretty good wit you randomly rappin’. My Rating: 4.4


16. “I Say” Feat. Youngin’
Youngin’ iz back ta collab; let’s see how good it iz! >>> LOL @ tha title repeatin’; who would’ve guessed? Nice and random here!! It sounds like you’re preachin’ in tha beginning here… Oh wait, that’s tha 1st verse, lol? Cool flow throughout tha 1st verse and it sounded cool. Tha hook sounds cool here wit you contributin’; good shit here (very catchy)!! Silent language here since your “jewelry loud” on tha 2nd verse, lol! Nice job deliverin’ tha 2nd verse too fa this banga right here! Ooh, here comes Youngin’ on tha 3rd verse! He comin’ through pretty strong, “blowin’ only on dat sticky” where he at! Nice job from him on this catchy-ass song! I like how tha ending slowed down too! My Rating: 4.3


17. “Everything” Feat. Bobby V
I wonder how this gon sound… I know Boosie collaborated wit him too recently. >>> Tha beat iz more upbeat than tha Boosie song. Tha hook sounds cool although tha sound of it sounds familiar (wit tha “that’s on err-thang” part). You’re doin’ tha 1st verse here and it’s pretty catchy wit tha flow once again! Nice job on tha 1st verse and Bobby soundin’ good on tha hook! You’re soundin’ motivational on tha 2nd verse; you’ve always been about your future! Tha 3rd verse iz good fa what it iz; I don’t know what ta say about it though but you ‘bout “everything,” lol. My Rating: 4.1


18. “Hands On You” Feat. Pleasure P
This looks familiar… I don’t know about it so lemme hear it. >>> Tha beat start iz cool. Tha hook from Pleasure P iz pretty good; good collaboration I would say. Tha 1st verse was nice ta hear from you. Sounds okay fa tha 2nd verse too… I don’t have really anything ta say about tha verse though. Instead of a 3rd verse, we got a bridge from Pleasure P, soundin’ good fa tha song itself. My Rating: 3.6


19. “Listen” Feat. Q Corvette
Tha Corvette iz on tha feature so I’m assumin’ we gon end it wit a female song? >>> LOL, maybe I might be right ‘cause it’s a sample of Roxette’s “Listen To Your Heart” here in tha beat start, lol. Tha Corvette dude did a good job singin’ tha beginning; I feel this could be a single! Juvie, you’re on tha 2nd verse here (I counted Q’s part as a verse). Pretty good verse includin’ tha flow. You spittin’ some more interestin’ shit in tha 3rd verse too; good job. My Rating: 3.9


Overall: You DEFINITELY have a NICE CD here, my boy!! Glad ta see you make a comeback!! Glad ta see you have some pretty good collaborations too! Keep up tha gr8 work and stay on this Rap shit; we ‘bout ta enter a new decade soon!!
