Review #639: Big Blaze "Junkie Medicine (Heroin Edition)"

Reviewed on 9.03.2010 (Review #639)




‘Bout ta review a 2008 CD from (and for) my boy Big Blaze outta dat Bloc Munstaz clique. It’s tha “Junkie Medicine (Heroin Edition)”; follow up to Young Ready’s? Glad I’m finally gettin’ ta hear this!! You KNOW it’ll give me dat GR8 ’08 feel!! Start Time: 11:45 AM | End Time: 1:08 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. “Intro”
For 2:20, iz it rappin’ or just a long intro? >>> Tha beat sounds pretty hot here; it must be like DJ B-Real or someone on tha beat! Okay, I hear rappin’ on this intro; you doin’ ya thang here wit tha REAL GR8 quality!! Tha hook sounds like you’re just really “big” when it comes ta tha undaground! Tha verse sounds pretty tight wit your consistent rhymes!! Where are these other “editions”? My Rating: 4.4


02. “Watch Me”
I most definitely gon do dat!! >>> Yes to tha production here!! LOL @ tha hook; kinda simple but you know it’s hella catchy! Tha 1st verse sounds tight here; “23 wit 23 haterz!” Tha 2nd verse’s good; I really like tha flow towards tha last few bars, ya heard me? Tha 3rd verse sounds pretty tight not just on how it sounds but also, how you feelin’; good shit. My Rating: 4.1


03. “From What I Was Told”
Looks like it gon be good; I trust titles like dis ‘cause I know you’ll come wit somethin’! >>> Okay, production’s on an A+ anticipation level for me!! I like how tha hook’s soundin’; “my time like Handy.” You know you have potential and I gon make sure I make dat be shown on my radio show, ya dig? You spittin’ some good shit in tha 1st verse here; bound-ta-be-classic shit! Tha 2nd verse sounds like you ‘bout yo “shit” here; feelin’ tha rhymes and your perspective! Nice job on tha 3rd verse too; you ‘bout yo bidness!! My Rating: 4.4


04. “Thank I Ain’t”
Okay, what we got here…? >>> Uh oh!! “Dat boy Big Wayne on tha track;” uh oh!! That makes my anticipation REAL HIGH, especially since it’s ’08 style!! Okay, tha hook DEFINITELY iz a plus here for me; definitely feelin’ it!! Tha 1st verse sounds like you’re just really doin’ tha damn thang here wit how you’re comin’ through wit tha “Polo”s and shit! Ooh, tha Big Wayne beat pattern in bars 5-8/13-16!! I miss dat pattern; what happened to it? Nice job wit tha verse; just REALLY goin’ off here!! Tha 2nd verse sounds betta here; you just DOIN’ tha damn thang!! LOL, only 12 bars that time? Was lookin’ forward ta hearin’ tha beat pattern, lol! My Rating: 4.7


05. “I Betcha”
LOL, wouldn’t’ve known what this song was ‘til you told me; reviewed this ova two years ago as it was thrown in tha Young Ready “Junkie Medicine (Cocaine Edition)” CD upload as “Gunz”. Now, this tha real title!! That “you gon let yo nerves calm” shit would go through my head a bunch of times and I’d be like, “What tha hell song was that?” Sometimes, this happens so you know that’s a memorable line in tha hook! Thumbs up wit tha gr8 production again and tha CRAZY hook!!! Tha 1st verse’s just gangsta to tha fullest!! DEFINITELY a REAL TIGHT gangsta-type song here, ya heard me? Tha 2nd verse iz also real good ‘cause of tha clearup between tha real and tha fake; also, tha gangsta shit continues!! Once again, doin’ tha damn thang wit tha 3rd verse too!! Dumb shit to tha fullest!! You just REALLY deliver tha HOT SHIT to tha fullest here!! My Current Rating: 4.7


06. “Name In Yo Mouth Pt. 1” Feat. Young Trayne
Ooh, a part and a feature! This DEFINITELY gon be GR8 ta hear!! >>> Okay, dat GR8 production in tha beginning here iz official!! I’m likin’ tha talkin’ in tha intro too! LOL @ tha start to tha hook from you; you have an addictive “mouth” for tha people, lol… Gutta shit bein’ spit here in tha 1st verse; what an attitude!!! LOL @ right before tha end of tha 1st verse: dat DJ B-Real tag!! Dat’s a classic tag from him; why can’t he just stick to dat tag? I like his current tag but that “DJ B-Real” tag iz tight like tha original Big Wayne one!! Nice job on tha whole 1st verse!! Tha 2nd verse iz more on tha “grindin’” tip here; not much of an attitude as tha 1st verse but everything was there!! LOL, Trayne’s on tha 3rd verse and he sounds pretty different on tha voice! Tightness here; can’t complain!! Sounds like alternations within tha 3rd verse? DEFINITELY nice!! My Rating: 4.6


07. “Gas Done Went Up” Feat. Kontreversy
Dat boy Kontreversy or iz it Kontroversy (how you spelled it) on tha feature? I know Kontreversy from Real Profit… This title’s pretty nice although there was a decrease in “gas” ‘round tha end of ’08, so that was good! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this!! >>> Okay, tha beat iz DEFINITELY REAL HOT here!!! I just LUV dat Baton Rouge vibe in tha beats!!! Tha hook sounds tight; iz that tha Kontroversy dude? Sounds like a sample and it sounds GR8 wit how it fits!! You’re on tha 1st verse and you’re spittin’ tight-ass shit here ova this REAL HOT beat!!! Gotta luv tha topic ‘bout “gas,” lol! “SS: Stunt & Shine;” dumb shit!! LOL, this has ta be Kontreversy that I know from Real Profit ‘cause I can tell by tha voice and delivery; REAL TIGHT here!!! LOL, didn’t expect this combo; he sounds pretty gutta!! No matter if this was an ’07/’08 song, he was 20/21 at tha time. DEFINITELY comin’ through wit dat TIGHTNESS!! Thanx for tha surprise, ya heard me?!? You’re back on tha 3rd verse and it’s soundin’ good wit tha “gas”/ridin’-type lyrics! Pretty good verse; easily stole my favorite on here so far!! My Rating: 4.8


08. “Get Off Me” Feat. DBK & Jay Da Talent
Okay, we got some Bloc Munstaz family here; let’s see what y’all got! >>> Tha production’s off to a dry start but you know it’ll develop!! Tha beginning’s soundin’ good here from you; gotta luv and feel err-thang you be spittin’ from dat Baton Rouge perspective!! LOL @ tha hook; feelin’ dat “get off me” sample as it sounds GR8 on tha track! Tha 2nd verse has a good attitude fa this track; you know what it iz!! Strictly CORRECT on tha track here!! Tha 3rd verse has a more smooth voice for tha track here but tha attitude iz here!! My Rating: 4.5


09. “I Run That”
Most definitely; look at your ratings!! >>> Okay, here’s some betta production! LOL, tha beginning of this sounds like it could’ve been like tha intro track or somethin’, lol. Nice job wit tha beginning of this 1st verse and tha rhymes are soundin’ consistent… Tha hook sounds pretty nice here; holdin’ it down wit dis GR8 beat! Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ thangz consistent here… Tha 3rd verse sounds good too; “got gorilla in you;” thanx for dat fact on how old “Gorilla In Me” was, lol. My Rating: 4.3


½time: So far, dis dat kinda shit I luv, ya heard me? DEFINITELY tight shit here!! You’re at a NICE 4.5 average CD rating so far!!! DEFINITELY feelin’ ALL tha tight-ass production dat makes me just luv Baton Rouge fa what it iz!! Also, thumbs up on tha features too!!


10. “Superthrowed” Feat. Cash Flow
Ooh, a compound word in tha title and a feature!! Let’s see what’s good here!! >>> Shit, yea; Young Hustla on tha beat!! Tha beat’s ON FIRE HERE!!! Tha hook’s DEFINITELY “superthrowed!” Tha 1st verse’s like lava; blazin’, lol!! Tha rhymes are also kick-ass on this REAL HOT beat!!! I’m hearin’ tha 2nd verse from Cash Flow now and he’s VERY consistent wit tha rappin’ here!! You’re DEFINITELY doin’ tha damn thang wit recruitin’ these features onto this CD!! Tha 3rd verse’s VERY consistent wit how you’re comin’ wit it right here, my boy!! “I’m a joker, you’re an ace;” definitely right!! My Rating: 4.7


11. “A Mile”
Good thing “A Milli” wasn’t out at tha time so there’s no need of thinkin’ of lowerin’ my anticipation! It’s a pretty good title and you’re keepin’ up tha 4:30+ lengths here; how will it sound? >>> Slow start; sounds like a good, slow song… Tha hook sounds pretty good here; I like dat it’s long too. Kinda smooth on tha flow here on tha 1st verse; sounds like a rough story… Tha 2nd verse’s pretty strong wit tha content too… Tha 3rd verse’s good too… My Rating: 4.0


12. “Roll With Me” Feat. DBK, Teflon & Harmonyous
High anticipation level wit this collab here!!! >>> Anotha slow start for me although I hear tha gutta organ? Tha hook’s a lil’ plain for me; hope tha verses are betta… Tha 1st verse iz you and I thought it was a dry start ‘til tha fast rappin’ came! Pretty good verse from you… Okay, tha 2nd verse’s hot wit tha fast rappin’ too! I guess dat’s Harmonyous on tha hook since Teflon’s left and there’s only 1:34 remaining; high anticipation level on Teflon Pit!! Expected a lil’ betta but I’m still feelin’ this fastness on this track. It’s just, I’ve heard betta on tha Young Ready “Junkie Medicine (Cocaine Edition)” and tha Young Trayne “The Pharmacy” as well as on C-IV’s “O.T.B. (Only The Beginning)”!! My Rating: 4.1


13. “I Ain’t Lyin’”
Just crackin’ 5:01 on tha length; what’ll this be like for me? >>> Oh no, lol @ this beat! I didn’t realize it was this old… Oh, it just changed to a Sims beat, lol? That beginning beat I heard on Yung Yola’s CD called “He Da Truth” but yea, DEFINITELY feelin’ tha kick-ass Sims beat!! Tha hook sounds real addictive!!! Tha REAL HOT beat here’s just ADDICTIVE TOO!!! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and tha rhymes are DEFINITELY nice here; I luv tha consistency!!! Some mo real vs. fake-type shit in tha 2nd verse here; keep clearin’ it up! REALLY feelin’ how you deliverin’ these rhymes; kick-ass flow on a kick-ass beat!! Tha 3rd verse iz pretty good here… Once again, you holdin’ it down!! LOL @ tha “2006/2007” ending; thanx for tha reminder… I think tha songs are MUCH TIGHTER for some reason when they’re older! My Rating: 4.6


14. “If I Ain’t” Feat. Yung Smiley & Young Trayne
Anotha “I Ain’t” title back to back, lol? It’s like an lol but it should be good! >>> Oh, Savage’s current tag fa this, lol? Good shit; ROFL @ tha beginning of tha hook!! How tight wit tha “If I ain’t tha shit, then put ya toilet paper up!” DEFINITELY gon be catchy here as I begin ta hear this!! Tha beat’s a lil’ less noticeable for a Savage beat but I hear those hot, consistent sounds still!! Tha 1st verse’s soundin’ pretty tight from you; once again, tha consistent rhymes and flow!! Uh oh, Yung Smiley comin’ up on tha 2nd verse; glad ta hear someone I neva heard before!! He’s soundin’ pretty young; I picture him wit cornrows or dreads wit how he sounds, lol. I’m feelin’ what he spit here; hope this was not tha only time I’d be able ta hear him ‘cause he should appear more often on otha peoples’ CDs! LOL, he’s Trayne on tha 3rd verse and it’s still on dat ’06, ’07, ’08-type voice, lol. Nice job doin’ tha damn thang on tha 3rd verse; cocky attitude too a lil’ bit wit tha “no Polo down” shit, lol. My Rating: 4.5


15. “Movin’ On” Feat. Frankie
LOL, I’m “on” tha feature here, lol? Funny… >>> Well, not too funny here; what tha hell iz this? Doesn’t even sound like an original track; sounds jacked… Terrible ta know dat Frankie iz not a rapper too. VERY GROSS; PLEASE END!!! Why iz this over four minutes? LOL, you’re randomly on tha 3rd verse? Was just about ta rate it without caring about tha last two minutes, lol… Regardless, no comment; way too soft for a Southern song from tha undaground!! OMG, why tha last 37 seconds?!? Will be not addin’ to my iPod!! My Rating: 1.3


16. “95 Percent” Feat. Cash Flow
Not “100”? Should I anticipate dis? >>> My mood went down but tha beat’s pretty nice for a start; same thing wit tha intro too… Glad we’re back to tha official style!! Tha 1st verse’s good; nice job, ya dig? Okay, I see where you’re goin’ wit tha “95 percent;” agreed dat “95% of these hoes iz fake!” Glad I’m a part of tha “5% that’s real,” ya dig? Tha 2nd verse’s pretty nice; good-ass shit once again! Tha 3rd verse iz Cash Flow and it’s flowin’ good; nice shit here! I DEFINITELY agree wit dis shit when it comes ta people “not bein’ ya patna” when it comes ta friends; good shit! My Rating: 4.3


17. “I Go Hard”
>>> Beat sounds nice here; consistent-ass start to tha 1st verse!! Tha whole entire verse iz good and I’m likin’ dis production!! LOL, it’s anotha one of those “go hard in tha paint”-type songs; feelin’ it! Nice shit here on tha hook and that consistent vibe from you! Tha 2nd verse iz here and lol, anotha “’so sick’ like ‘Ne-Yo’” quote? That’s two on this CD, lol… Pretty good verse overall, ya dig? Tha 3rd verse sounds pretty tight wit how you’re deliverin’ it for a song! My Rating: 4.4


18. “Ain’t No Love” Feat. Harmonyous
Not sure if we’re gonna ruin tha ending here; no anticipation for me. >>> Yea, tha start kinda scares me… You’re on tha 1st verse and it’s not so scary at all… Tha hook sounds like I’ve heard somethin’ like this before (wit “no love in tha heart of tha city”)? Just decent but not bad for me… Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ it real… Tha 3rd verse’s good too; mo strong content from you… My Rating: 3.6


Overall: Well, nice job here, my boy!! This makes me think, “What happened to… ___,” meaning, anyone that had this GR8 production and then, just turned into somethin’ bigger/cockier? I know one particular person, who had somethin’ like this that sounded REAL GOOD and now, in 2010, they’re just someone that’s tryin’ to secretly slip away from me or somethin’. Anyway, I won’t get inta dat; I just have ta say dat you REALLY did tha damn thang here!! Nice-ass job and tha REAL GOOD beats REALLY helped!!
