Review #831: Thug Brothers "Unleashed (The Mixtape) (Hosted by DJ Chill)"

Reviewed on 2.19.2011 (Review #831)




In tha mist of these reviewz, I was woken up from a nap from my boy Hannibal. Unfortunately, I have to sadly report that female rapper Sheen~Marie, who represented both Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana, was murdered just a few minutes ago. I dunno why… She was someone I really liked—her style, her sexiness; everything!! I feel like I have nothin’ ta say… Anyway, somewhat back to tha reviewz: This next one iz for dem Thug Brothers “Unleashed (The Mixtape) (Hosted by DJ Chill)”! Start Time: 3:33 PM | End Time: 4:28 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. 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.

Link To CD: N/A


01. “Wall To Wall”
A Savage-produced joint here; lookin’ forward ta hear, despite tha loss of Sheen~Marie! >>> Luvin’ tha beat and it’s soundin’ pretty tight here; y’all holdin’ thangz down!! Good, consistent shit bein’ spit from y’all; nothin’ but pure, quality shit from y’all, as always!! I like how tha 2nd verse sounds wit tha 225, gutta-type voice on dis shit! Tha 3rd verse has some mo gangsta shit ta offer, ya dig? Gotta have dis shit on lock! My Rating: 4.7


02. “Don’t Watch Me” Feat. DJ B-Real
Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ dis, too!! >>> Nice production (I assumed he produced it although no source) and tha hook’s nice! LOL, B-Real has, like, a Juvie-soundin’ voice and it’s hella catchy!! Even on tha 1st verse, doin’ tha damn thang to tha fullest!! Oh, that was more of tha hook; didn’t think tha hook was dat long fa a second. Good shit throughout tha 1st verse; goin’ crazy to tha fullest! Tha 2nd verse has very consistent rhymes goin’ on! Tha 3rd verse iz keepin’ tha “don’t fuck wit me” style goin’ on in a consistent way; good shit all tha way ‘round!! My Rating: 4.6


03. “Get It Out The Mud” Feat. Jim Jones & Locco
LOL, different collaboration here, wit Guss on tha beat! >>> Almost sounds familiar but then again, Locco always has tha same type of voice; nice job wit tha hook! Jim Jones iz on tha 1st verse; let’s see what he’ll spit on this kinda joint… Real or not, it sounds nice on this beat! Likin’ how he holds it down fa y’all. Y’all spittin’ good rhymes on this good beat, too; dat boy Locco just makes this taste like ice cream wit tha way you can crave for dat catchiness, lol! Nice job wit tha 3rd verse, too; what else could I say? My Rating: 4.6


04. “Certified Husler”
A Big Wayne beat here; looks anticipatin’! Then again, I’m not sure which songs I heard/not heard since tha “Diamond In Tha Dirt” review I did a few months ago. >>> Of course, I like dis; tha Boosie sample just gives me a great lol feelin’. Tha verses are definitely nice ta go wit dis beat; nothin’ but tha best here!! My Rating: 4.7


05. “I Be”
A short title wit Lil’ Ken on tha beat; let’s hear dis! >>> Craziness, lol! Feelin’ tha extreme gangsta shit although I feel kinda guilty ta hear dat now dat I just found out dat Sheen was murdered. Lots of energy here; more energetic than tha previous song! Even though I really liked tha previous song’s hook, this has tha verses and energy on lock in a bigger way!! Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad but iz a decrease in tha quality I was hearin’ from dis song… Tha 3rd verse sounds pretty good; “Lil’ Fred”? Iz he a member of tha Thug Brothers or am I confusin’ somethin’? Overall, a pretty-good song but fell behind tha previous song’s rating for me. My Rating: 4.6


06. “Turn It Out”
Anotha Savage-produced track; let’s get it!!! >>> Reminds me of somethin’ dat Short Bus Boyz would make/Boo would produce; hot shit, as always!! Tha rhymes are pretty nice here; likin’ tha vibe goin’ on here wit tha beat, too! Good job wit tha 2nd verse, too; nothin’ really ta say… Nice job wit tha 3rd verse, too. My Rating: 4.5


07. “Street Shit”
Keepin’ tha consistent production goin’, here’s anotha Lil’ Ken beat! >>> I’m likin’ this start! Feelin’ tha drug-related shit goin’ on here in tha hook; it’s official at all times! Almost sounds like my boy Hannibal on tha 1st verse here, soundin’ pretty good. Tha 2nd verse iz also bringin’ dat street shit to tha table! Tha 3rd verse sounds like it’s tha streets for a home, lol; “dumb shit; street shit!” My Rating: 4.6


08. “Roll” Feat. Beezy Bird
Anotha Lil’ Ken production! >>> Definitely hotness here; simple but great! Sounds like a crazy mood goin’ on here wit Beezy Bird in tha background goin’ “bow;” glad ta hear him, too! Nice job wit dat 1st verse; let’s keep tha consistency goin’!! Tha 2nd verse iz real crazy wit how it’s delivered, lol!! Ooh, didn’t realize there was a 3rd verse; crazy, fast-paced verse comin’ at me!! My Rating: 4.4


½time: Of course, all tha way tha dumb way!!! A 4.6-rated CD, so far!!! Let’s keep dis goin’!!!!!


09. “Feds On My Trill”
You mean “trail”? A B Money beat; let’s hear it! >>> Interestin’ “cocaine” shit in tha beginning; crazy content! Yea, it sounds like “trail” but tha Yung Joc sample makes it sound like “trill,” lol. This iz a pretty-cool-soundin’ joint. I like tha content throughout tha rhymes; y’all know what it iz wit these streetz! I don’t get why people luv “killin’/takin’ away” people? Why do people catch erections over it? Gayness!! Nice ending to this, too, wit dat intro dude. My Rating: 4.5


10. “DJ”
Anotha short title wit Lil’ Ken on tha track! >>> Sounds good fa a “DJ” perspective; feelin’ dis shit, too! Nice vibe wit tha beat and how tha “-doe” shit rhymes throughout tha 1st verse! Tha hook puts me in a real good mood when it comes ta enjoyin’ shit outta dat 225! Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ dis shit goin’ ‘long; can’t hate on it! Tha 3rd verse almost sounded like Boosie fa a second; it gives me a Boosie vibe wit dis beat, though! My Rating: 4.6


11. “Flippa”
Keepin’ tha Ken beats comin’ along!! >>> I’m likin’ this beat, too; catchy-ass hook, lol! Great vibes, once again; y’all keep consistent music consistent to tha bone!! Tha rest of tha verses sound pretty good; catchy-ass joint! My Rating: 4.6


12. “Bye”
LOL, anotha short title wit Lil’ Ken producin’ again! >>> LOL @ tha Lil’ Ken beat tag before tha hook started. Even though a lil’ different fa me, tha beat keeps me interested… a lil’. Kinda soundin’ boring wit this 4:00ish length; I rather “tell ‘em” “hello,” lol. My Rating: 3.6


13. “Feeling My Swag”
B Money on tha beat here. >>> I guess this iz where tha CD gets worse; what’s up wit tha Pop sound? Don’t even like ta hear about “swag” nowadayz, either! Hook iz pathetic wit dat unsourced singer… Tha verses don’t do anything fa me; tha 3rd verse iz tha catchiest, only ‘cause tha voice. My Rating: 2.4


14. “Sex Drive”
Lil’ Ken. >>> Sounds like anotha deal breaker; stupid-soundin’ hook, but sexy in a way. Ooh, tha beat’s real hot wit dat sound effect once tha 1st verse started! Either way, nothin’ too interestin’… I think this iz a lil’ betta than tha last song, though. My Rating: 3.5


15. “Swagga Off The Roof”
Anotha Lil’ Ken beat; looks like anotha deal breaker? >>> This sounds really familiar; was it on tha previous CD I reviewed of y’all? Despite tha title, this iz pretty hot. Tha rhymes are catchy as hell, too. Nice job on all tha verses, ya dig? Tha “fresh” shit’s nice, regardless of hearin’ tha word “swag” so many times. My Rating: 4.2


16. “Struggle”
A Mytro beat (not to be confused wit Mystro?); doesn’t look anticipatin’ fa me. >>> I do like tha beat here but not too interested in tha topic of “struggle”, though. Tha hook sounds pretty nice; I like how y’all deliver tha title and lyrics in it. My Rating: 3.7


17. “Banger”
Tha final song wit B Money on tha beat. >>> This iz good for an ending; back to tha good, gangsta tip! I’m feelin’ this…; not much ta say but it’s a pretty-good joint based off tha street content. I like how “Bleek” iz mentioned in dis a bunch of times; so sad dat it was “April Fool’s” Day, too. I’m stunned at Sheen~Marie for gettin’ murdered, now; she didn’t do anything! Good job wit tha rest of tha shit, includin’ tha 3rd verse, which iz keepin’ it gangsta to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.3


Overall: Nice job, except most of 12 – 16. Other than that, keep tha hot, consistent, street, gangsta, gutta shit comin’!!
