Reviewed on 3.04.2011 (Review #856)




Damn, I’m reviewin’ a lot of hot CDs!! This next one must be real hot ‘cause it’s a part of tha “Junkie Medicine” editions!! Tha newest installment to dat collection: Young Trayne “Junkie Medicine (Promethazine Edition)”!!! Start Time: 11:02 AM | End Time: 11:40 AM


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.

01. “Let It Be Known”
Produced by: $hizz; lookin’ forward ta hearin’, especially wit him on tha beat!!! >>> Didn’t seem anticipated wit tha “Do Dat Dere”ish-type of intro but tha CD’s startin’ ta kickin’ in! “True Greed;” yup, they in tha buildin’! Damn, you seem real focused; very good wit tha consistency on dis intro track!! You’re definitely “(lettin’) it be known,” ya dig?!? Tha hook’s definitely true; nice job, here! My Rating: 4.2


02. “In The Streetz” Feat. $hizz
Produced by: $hizz; I have a feelin’ dis gon be tighter! >>> Likin’ tha intro; dis beat seems anticipatin’! Sounds like some catchy music, here; a different dose of “Junkie Medicine”, lol. Nice job wit all tha consistent shit you spit, ya dig? $hizz yea, lol, it’s $hizz on tha 3rd verse!! Dat voice iz entertainin’ as fuck!! He got shit on lock; thumbs up fa keepin’ it consistent wit tha rappin’ and tha beats, $hizz!! My Rating: 4.3


03. “Around My Way” Feat. Cash Flow, Doe & DatBoyKenny
Produced by: E-Motion; what gon go down here? >>> Oh, I rememba dis. Again, feelin’ tha familiar-soundin’ beat and how y’all do ya thang on dis one! Good collaboration; lots of consistent shit lies in tha hands of Young Trayne and his collaborators!! My Current Rating: 4.5


04. “Prisoner 2 My Grind” Feat. Yung Slab
Produced by: Lil’ One The Champ; keep tha collaborations comin’!! >>> Not really into tha beat start but tha rhymes should keep dis one comin’ along. Speakin’ of comebacks, let’s hear what Yung Slab has ta offer on tha 2nd verse… Again, comin’ through wit dat tightness; I think he reached 21, now? He’s officially ready ta be noticed, and, to fuck wit tha big dawgs! “So fly, I could piss up on tha stars”? Damn, tightness!! Feelin’ tha attitude!!! Tha rhymes are definitely tight but why did Lil’ One have ta make a hook outta a stupid sample? Not really a Louisiana-soundin’ song but tha rhymes, especially from Slab, are great! My Rating: 4.4


05. “Roll Or Get Rolled Over (Remix)” Feat. Jimi Jump & Lil’ One The Champ
Produced by: Mouse On Tha Track; ooh, a remix! Tha collab looks tight! >>> Still sounds tight; dat beat and hot hook iz still what’s up!! I liked tha rhymes on tha 1st version betta; don’t need ta random shout out people on dis shit ‘cause dis shit was hot enough wit tha title! Switchin’ it up, let’s hear what Jimi has ta offer… Okay, good shit from tha jump, lol! Nothin’ but consistentness all tha way through!!! Real glad you had him on dis—uh oh, Lil’ One’s up next; sometimes I don’t even know who’s next wit so many people ‘round here. Consistent rhymes; I’ll leave it at dat. My Rating: 4.6


06. “She’s Nasty” Feat. $hizz
Produced by: $hizz; let’s get it!! >>> I like dat, “shit!!,” beat tag intro; I like ta say, “$hizz…” when announcin’ him on tha air so people don’t think I’m sayin’, “shit,” lol. Damn, forgot $hizz iz warped in this stupid gay-ass, cunt-ass era we live in wit this stupid music out, smh. Could’ve been a good radio song but no, not anymore. I really don’t have ta say anything else ‘bout dis… My Rating: 2.4


07. “Leave ‘Em 4 Da Reaper” Feat. TerrorMontana & Teflon Pit
Produced by: Lil’ Freddy; thought dat was Terror a.k.a. Cheez of Down Bad on tha feature; dis looks like it gon be tight! >>> Nice beginning, even though it took a while. Tha hook’s definitely nice; gotta luv a topic like dis! Tha 1st verse iz only aight for me… Ooh, very anticipatin’ Pit on tha 2nd verse; he always comes through wit some of tha hottest street shit in tha 225! Really, he’s anotha reason why I luv Baton Rouge soooooooooo much!!! Wait a second, who’s on tha 3rd verse? Hope I didn’t confuse anyone ‘cause tha 3rd verse doesn’t sound like Pit… My Rating: 4.5


08. “Follow Me”
Produced by: $hizz; “shit,” lol!! >>> Ooh, hot soundin’ in tha beat and err-thang goin’ on here!! I like tha “a lotta weed” shit in tha hook; of course, dumb shit!! You doin’ a nice job, here; prolly could’ve been only three minutes long if it’s just you ‘cause most of tha time, your collaborators make tha songs long. Either way, thumbs up ta dis shit!! My Rating: 4.5


09. “Break ‘Em Off”
Produced by: Doe; lol, Jon Doe on tha beat; let’s hear what he got ta offer on tha beat fa you! >>> Sounds good; almost had a Youngbloodz perspective wit tha title, here! Nice job wit how tha hook sounds, once again; you doin’ ya thang wit Doe! LOL, it sounds like somethin’, like a laser, iz shootin’ consistently in tha air while this beat’s playin’, lol; interestin’… Nice job wit how you comin’ through on dis shit, too! My Rating: 4.3


½time: Other than #6, this iz a very hot CD, right here!!! So far, you’re at a 4.2; not bad for a really bad song bein’ on here!


10. “I Can Get Dumb” Feat. Doe & DatBoyKenny
Produced by: Q-Red. >>> Thought dat was $hizz on tha hook fa a second, lol! My bad, Doe doin’ tha damn thang on tha hook! You’re on tha 1st verse and lol, a lil’ too much in tha intro? I should be shouted out, right? A lil’ too many shout outs, overall. DBK’s on tha 2nd verse and he’s doin’ a pretty-good job; didn’t realize he had an attitude like dis! My Rating: 4.4


11. “Ready & Willing” Feat. Teflon Pit & Big Blaze
Produced by: JayTheTalent; what’ll this be like wit dis collab? >>> Tha beat intro’s pretty serious! Ooh, tha rhymes are off tha chain!!! Teflon Pit doin’ a real nice job, here; very consistent!!! LOL, no hook? I really like how dis beat sounds, either way! Must be Big Blaze on tha 2nd verse? Some of y’all almost have tha same voices… Kinda good but shouldn’t worry about how other people are spittin’; know dat y’all tha shit! Nope, dat was you on tha 2nd verse ‘cause Big Blaze’s on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit some hot shit!! Really likin’ how he reppin’ fa tha “Bloc Munstaz”, to tha fullest, at all times!! My Rating: 4.6


12. “Neva Been A Bitch” Feat. Big Blaze
Produced by: Rated R; let’s hear it! >>> Even though it’s Jeezy, I’m likin’ tha sample on tha hook; sounds like it works fa y’all. Good 1st verse but I’m startin’ ta get sick of all these shout outs throughout tha verses. Big Blaze comin’ through wit dat tight shit fa a big dude! Tha big dudes always intimidate tha fake and err-body out there; gotta support tha big dudes! My Rating: 4.4


13. “Hold It Down” Feat. Doe
Produced by: K Beatz. >>> Weak start fa me; what a way to lose consistency. Sorry, low interest on dis one. A lot of shit goin’ on here… Doe’s on tha 2nd verse and for some reason, his voice stands out more for me. Not dat dis makes a difference fa me ‘cause it doesn’t… My Rating: 2.6


14. “Counterfeit”
Produced by: Doe; likin’ dis title and Doe bein’ on tha beat! Even though it’s usually “I-before-E”, this title’s “E-before-I”. >>> Tha beat’s real nice, here, wit its pace; feelin’ it! Tha rappin’ you bringin’ to tha table’s good, too! Doe should’ve rapped on dis; he prolly would’ve had some car-race-type shit dat would’ve sounded nice! Tha content iz nice, too; good shit right here!! My Rating: 4.5


15. “Beef Wit Me” Feat. DatBoyKenny & Teflon Pit
Produced by: Killa B; thought I saw Killa B from somewhere; prolly was on some really-anticipatin’ CD back in tha day! >>> Of course, it had to’ve been ‘cause dis production’s hotter than lava when it comes ta tha underground!!! Ooh, tha 1st verse’s so tight wit all tha shit goin’ on!!! Tha hook definitely explains why y’all are bound ta intimidate people; it’s all in tha “don’t fuck wit me” attitude, ya dig? Tha 2nd verse’s pretty tight, too! Thumbs up fa y’all continuin’ ta bring dat consistent shit!!! You’re on tha 3rd verse and yea, had ta make dis shit even hotter!!! My Rating: 4.7


16. “Pour Me Up”
Produced by: Beat Geekz; don’t know dem so let’s see how dis gon sound… >>> Sounds good; almost sounds like jacked/online producers? LOL @ tha “I’m on my gay shit” part; you definitely “(showin’ yo) ass” to tha streetz ‘cause of how tight you keep tha consistent shit comin’ along, especially wit all tha people you fuck wit!! Tha beat almost sounds like dat “2 AM” beat dat Tim did fa Jeezy. Tha hook’s soundin’ much betta; definite plus ta dis song!! My Rating: 4.0


17. “I Know Who Ridin’ Wit Me” Feat. $hizz & Big Blaze
Produced by: $hizz; hope there’s no A-Tune in dis one! >>> Tha beat’s startin’ ta sound hot; don’t destroy my anticipation! Damn, tha beat intro sounds long… Oh, I hear tha sample in tha hook, now; sounds good… Afta 53 seconds, my dawg $hizz iz on tha 1st verse, and I’m feelin’ what he bringin’ to tha table! I liked dat “Zion City” part; gotta represent tha tight hoods in BR! Here you are on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some hot shit, too… Time ta hear some of dat big dawg, Big Blaze, comin’ through on tha 3rd verse wit his tightness. It’s all about reppin’ Glen Oaks and buku areas of tha Rouge to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.2


18. “Sometimes I Wonder” Feat. Anonomous
Produced by: Soul Food; because of tha unknown people, I’m not lookin’ forward. >>> No “wonder” why this iz an endin’ song. Ooh, I like tha Anonomous gurl; she sounds like tha undaground and music I’d like from tha Early 2000s! Glad she held tha hook down and that it wasn’t some stupid sample! I don’t have much interest in what you’re spittin’ in dis, unfortunately. Remember: dis wasn’t my kinda song from tha beginning; Anonomous only made it a lil’ interestin’ wit tha hook. My Rating: 3.2


Overall: Nice job wit everything, everyone, and everything (again) throughout dis CD!! Even though I liked “The Pharmacy” betta, you always know how ta come through wit a lotta great people outta BR/Glen Oaks/Zion City/etc.!!
