Reviewed on 8.05.2010 (Review #595)




More on tha Boosie tip here, this next review I have up next iz Lil’ Boosie & B.G. “225/504”! Start Time: 11:34 AM | End Time: 12:34 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.

01. “Fresh”
Let’s see how dis thang gon start off!! >>> Feelin’ tha beat start here; iz this B-Real on tha beat (‘cause I feel like I heard “you know it’s a hit…” in tha background)? It sounds pretty hot! Tha hook’s cool fa what it iz; Boosie ALWAYS holds it down, lol! Speakin’ of him, he’s on tha 1st verse and tha rhymes are cool here… Gizzle, you’re on tha 2nd verse here and it sounds pretty different on a Boosie-type beat! I think he sounds betta on tha N.O.-type beats, surprisingly, but it’s good ta hear new kinda music like dis! Tha 3rd verse sounds like it fits more this time from Boosie, lol… My Rating: 4.3


02. “Louisiana Finest”
Gotta luv when “Louisiana” iz in tha title! >>> Sounds like an anthem wit tha beat start! Gizzle’s on tha 1st verse and he sounds pretty good on this beat; his flow’s always laidback and iz a lil’ weird on an anthematic beat though… Boosie hopped onto tha 2nd part here and he has some good shit ta say; good job! Gizzle’s on tha 3rd part and I’m likin’ this part a lil’ more than tha 1st part; keepin’ it gangsta! Tha 4th part iz Boosie and tha rhymes are faster than B.G. here; good shit, Boosie! DEFINITELY feelin’ tha consistentness!! Tha 5th part from B.G. sounds like T.I. now on tha flow and some of tha lyrics, lol… Boosie sounds pretty strong wit tha content on tha 6th part; gutta shit!! My Rating: 4.5


03. “Can’t Hold It In No More”
Just Boosie? Let’s hear what dis gon be about… >>> Tha beat iz good, Baton Rouge-type shit here on tha beat! Tha 1st verse not that bad but tha hook sounds like Jazze Pha? Did I hear this before? Tha 2nd verse’s not that bad either; just a decent song fa me… My Rating: 3.1


04. “Bodybag” Feat. Gar
This looks pretty gutta! I DEFINITELY look forward ta hearin’ dis shit!! >>> Hot shit for tha soundin’ here; Gar’s on tha 1st verse and sounds good too! Nice, gutta shit from him on tha verse; glad ta hear a collab like dis! This iz more like tha 504 sound on tha beat too… LOL, let’s hear what Boosie has ta offer on tha 2nd verse… Strictly street shit; very gutta and gangsta wit tha voice and lyrics!! “Pissin’ on yaself;” street shit!! “Don’t rest in peace, rest in piss;” RAW-ASS SHIT!!! LOL, tha audio file just died out wit like 1:18 remainin’? What tha hell happened? Neva mind, DatPiff’s total length’s only 2:52 so this mp3 file I must’ve gotten had extra length or somethin’… That means we’re Gizzleless, lol… My Rating: 4.4


05. “Nigga Like Me”
Let’s hear what this joint gon sound like! >>> Ugh, outta-nowhere-R&B? Sounds like a Pretty Ricky singer or somethin’ on tha hook… Tha 1st verse’s not that bad fa Boosie on tha verse; I don’t think this song’ll be that good for me overall… B.G.’s on tha 2nd verse and it’s kinda on tha soft side once again although I don’t mind some of his gutta lyrics fa this kinda song, lol! LOL, a feature on tha 3rd verse? There could be so many people to think of here, lol… I’m glad he’s explicit on this verse. Tha explicitness made me like this joint a lil’ more… My Rating: 3.4


06. “iPhone” Feat. Quick & Big Wayne
“I Phone” iz really spelled “iPhone” (like “iPod”), lol. Anyway, lol @ this; what’ll it sound like? >>> Ooh, a Big Wayne beat; that’s DEFINITELY what we needed right now!! LOL, Quick hopped onto tha 1st verse here, just strictly spittin’ some hot shit! “Facebook,” huh, Quick? I gotta add you! ROFL, let’s hear Big Wayne’s “iPhone,” lol! Sounds like it’s a “bulletproof” phone, lol! Pretty good verse here; I thought he was gonna scream or some shit wit a crazier flow, lol!! This Boosie sample on tha hook’s pretty catchy and “iPhoneful,” lol! My Rating: 4.5


07. “Take Me To Jail”
LOL, odd title fa Boosie bein’ only on tha song… >>> No! Not feelin’ this gay-ass A-Tune-type hook! Pretty good verse though… My Rating: 3.0


½time: Sounds pretty good although a few jointz kinda knocked tha average CD rating down to a 3.9; I KNOW this’ll be betta!! Keep up tha gr8 work, guys! Soundin’ B.G.less all of a sudden, lol?


08. “However You Wanna Do It” (Quick & Money Bagz)
I don’t think I heard this… >>> Sounds good wit tha beat; tha beat’s almost quiet… Tha hook sounds cool and Quick’s just all ova tha place now; thumbs up!! He doin’ tha damn thang on tha 1st verse; REALLY holdin’ it down fa Baton Rouge and all tha gangstaz!! Let’s see what Money Bagz has ta offer on tha 2nd verse… Sounds pretty good wit how he comes through for tha hood; gr8 team once again!! Dat title’s just TOO catchy when it’s delivered, lol!! My Rating: 4.4


09. “Zydeco” Feat. Kieth Frank
“Keith” iz spelled “Kieth” here? Let’s see what dis title’s about although I’m a lil’ weird ta hear dis… >>> Tha beat’s more upbeat here, lol. Ooh, I’m likin’ tha beat @ :26; very different, lol! I also like tha BPM (155)! That Kieth dude’s on tha 1st verse wit a singin’ verse; funny delivery… Boosie’s on tha 2nd verse and I’m REALLY feelin’ tha flow and rhythm to tha fullest, lol!! LOL, didn’t realize how LONG this joint was!! I thought it was a lil’ ova three minutes but it’s a lil’ ova 4.5 minutes!! Okay, tha singing’s gettin’ a lil’ boring since it was on tha bridge…; sounds kinda long now… My Rating: 4.3


10. “Sin” (Quick & Money Bagz Feat. Gar)
Anotha Q&MB track!! DEFINITELY gon look forward ta dis!! >>> Doesn’t sound like somethin’ depressin’, luckily! LMAO, “Big Wayne on dat track. I know you hear dat bassline;” YEAH!!! LOL, gonna “feel tha bassline” now, lol! Tha hook sounds pretty tight on this beat; GR8 job, just doin’ tha damn thang on tha hook and tha 1st verse!! Quick’s on tha 2nd verse and he’s paparazzi’d, expected to be “on tha news” wit his actions… DEFINITELY on tha gutta side here as y’all just come through wit tha gangsta shit! Quick’s on tha 3rd verse, just doin’ his thang once again! Money Bagz’s hoppin’ onto tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse, “breathin’ Potassium to tha beat” and “upload it, I delete,” lol! Nice job here; where’s Gar? I can neva recognize him… My Rating: 4.4


11. “You Lovin’ Me”
Back to B.G. finally? >>> Sour start… Reggae or not, it still sounds sour… Boosie sounds dry also on tha 1st verse… Damn, tha mysterious Reggae singer’s on tha 2nd verse? Didn’t need ta hear anotha “singin’” verse, smh… LOL, here comes B.G. on tha 2nd verse too; EXTREMELY sour wit tha voice here, lol… I don’t think he should mix “street” and “sweet” in tha same song, hence, tha same line! No matter WHO’S beat this iz, I’m NOT “feelin’ tha bassline,” lol!! My Rating: 2.2


12. “Where They Do Dat At” (Quick & Money Bagz Feat. Lil’ One)
LOL, hearin’ dis again! Cool beat start here; sounds like some GOOD BR street shit! Good shit fa tha hook; definitely a catchy hit single! I like how tha 1st verse’s soundin’ wit tha “pillz at” shit and tha gangsta-ass shit once again!! Nice job, Quick!! Here’s tha 2nd verse from Lil’ One Soundin’ good here; a lotta rappers mentioned, lol? Gotta luv tha gangsta-ass shit here; he doesn’t sound white… I might have someone dat looks familiar as him as my friend online or I just didn’t recognize his skin or somethin’, lol. Now, let’s see Money Bagz on tha 3rd verse… Strictly gangsta shit to tha fullest!! Gotta luv tha drug rhymes to tha fullest!! Speakin’ of drugs, didn’t even realize dis ‘til tha otha day: Where I’m stayin’ at now, there’s drug deals goin’ on on tha side of tha house I’m at; crazy-ass shit!! I always find litter as well as tha people nearby! I went to tha park yesterday and found three baggies, lol! My Current Rating: 4.5


13. “The Bottom” Feat. Gar
Let’s hear dis… >>> Ooh, HOT beat start, lol! This sounds familiar? So many jointz I be hearin’… Yup, heard it on DJ 5150 & Dre’s “NO To The BR 4,” exclusively (would’ve heard it here first but I wanted to get tha DJ 5150 reviewz outta tha way first)! Cool production here wit a good job on tha hook! Gizzle’s on tha 1st verse and it’s mo hot, hood shit! Gar must’ve snuck into tha hook ‘cause sometimes, I don’t recognize him… Yea, yea, a Boosie verse for tha 2nd verse…; I don’t need ta really say anything. Speakin’ of “mosquitos killin’ people,” there’s these dirt diver mud wasps ‘round Long Island, NY ‘cause of tha hot weather, lol. This year’s tha 1st time I’m seein’ ‘em… My Current Rating: 4.6


14. “Hardtymes”
A compound word, lol? Hope it ain’t bad for an endin’… >>> Still LUV B.G.’s “wuzzam, WUZZAM” shit! For some reason, I’m likin’ this; I guess ‘cause it’s more of B.G. on tha hook than Boosie. Tha hook has some good street shit in it although this sounds kinda low? B.G.’s on tha 1st verse and of course, street shit to tha fullest! Almost sounds mumbled, lol? Boosie’s on tha 2nd verse, spittin’ shit dat err-body knows about, lol! Tha 3rd verse iz Gizzle and tha voice’s a lil’ soft here but tha content’s good… Boosie hopped onto tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse; not bad… My Rating: 3.7


Overall: Interestin’ ta hear a few jointz from Quick & Money Bagz as well as some of tha features… Sounded more like a Boosie mixtape instead of a combo of Boosie & B.G. here… Anyway, keep up tha gr8 work, guys!
