Reviewed on 3.24.2011 (Review #887)




This next review iz for Prairieville’s own, Black Da Gutta Baby “Street Life, Love & Money”! Start Time: 8:53 PM | End Time: 9:25 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.

01. “Here We Go”
That’s right! >>> Sounds like some West Coast-type jacked song (like “Good-Ass Day” from Tha Dogg Pound, I think); interestin’… Good, consistent, fast rhymes, delivered in a great way! My Rating: 4.1


02. “Stunt Man”
>>> LOL, Vybe beat. I like this title and how you handle it. Nice job wit tha catchy verses; good shit, doin’ ya thang. My Rating: 3.9


03. “Grindin’”
>>> This sounds decent; I like how you be rappin’ wit your style and dat Southern voice. Even down ta tha singin’ on tha hook: interestin’ shit, here. My Rating: 4.0


04. “How We Do It” Feat. John-B
>>> Nice beat start, this time. LOL, you sound focused on tha hook wit dis title; feelin’ it, to tha max!! Almost givin’ me a Lil’ Cali-type of vibe, here, wit how you handle this one! John-B sounds good fa emergin’ onta dis track; he serious, so dat’s a plus! Nice job, overall; good collaboration! My Rating: 4.3


05. “Down South” Feat. Sweet Tooth
>>> Good start wit this beat; yea, “Masta Mind Entertainment!” LOL, tha hook’s tha truth wit tha “Down South” vibe! Damn, anotha great collaboration, here; good job hirin’ anotha tight dude ta help you out on a track! SMH @ dat beat tag repeatin’! Glad you sound good fa dis, too; gotta keep it real! My Rating: 4.3


06. “So Gangsta”
>>> Interestin’ beat start wit tha drums… Tha beat just transitioned inta somethin’ simple/plain… Singin’ on tha hook? Decent; nothin’ too special, though. Overall, I think this ain’t that bad… My Rating: 3.7


07. “Relax”
Only a snippet? >>> Good intro although I don’t think this iz a special-soundin’ beat, either. Tha singin’ in this hook’s a lil’ worse than tha previous one; tha rappin’ from you sounds aight/a lil’ strange wit tha background singin’ vocals… My Rating: 3.3


08. “Havin’ Thangs” Feat. G-1 & B-Max
>>> Damn, you jacked tha hook, here? A while ago, there was, like, a Pimp C/Bun B/Texas-soundin’ song wit this title, so that’s, kinda, a minus fa jackin’ tha hook; at least your rappin’ iz good… Tha 2nd verse sounds nice for tha vibe… Tha 3rd verse iz on some real shit, but sounds like nothin’ special fa me. My Rating: 3.5


09. “Koolin’”
>>> Vybe, lol. Anotha singin’ hook? This one sounds good but you sound much betta when you emerge outta nowhere wit your tightness!! Thumbs up ta tha rappin’, too, here; definitely some nice shit, overall! My Rating: 4.2


10. “From The South” Feat. Go Getta
>>> Feelin’ tha Southern vibe fa dis beat. Again, you have a good collaboration, here; really likin’ tha content, here! It’s all about tha “South”!! Tha “these niggas hate/hoes watch” shit—I…; why do tha dudes automatically have ta hate? I would automatically pay attention ta tha shit you be doin’. Thumbs up ta this collaboration, overall; you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.4


11. “Game We Play” Feat. Go Getta
>>> Hook’s a lil’ strange, at first, but it sounds good wit dis vibe. Glad you got Go Getta on tha feature, here; his descriptive rhymes are definitely tight, here!! Definitely feelin’ what he bringin’ to tha table!! Of course, you’re comin’ through wit your nice shit! You got a great voice ta hold dis shit down—or should I say, “dann,” lol! My Rating: 4.3


12. “Party” Feat. Go Getta
Yes, anotha Go Getta feature! >>> Anotha strange hook wit tha vocals… You’re startin’ dis off, Gutta Baby; so far, so good… Ooh, Go Getta’s “playin’ cards;” gotta feel dis shit! Nice job, once again; 3x a consistent charm!! My Rating: 4.0


13. “I Do”
>>> Now, there’s no Go Getta and you’re in trouble wit dis one. Tha vocals are weird on tha hook but it’s always these lyrics/content dat keeps catchin’ my attention. Then, your tight rhymes come outta nowhere; I guess dat balances tha track? My Rating: 3.7


½time: A 4.0-rated CD, currently; nice job, especially tha features!


14. “2 Be Me”
Lots of short songs… >>> Damn, double-negative wit tha vocals on tha hook and tha cliché-soundin’ lyrics, too. Good, real shit you spittin’ in tha verse, here! My Rating: 3.4


15. “Get Away”
>>> Not likin’ dis beat; good rhymes, once again. Again, anotha singin’ hook? My Rating: 3.1


16. “Clap”
Snippet, I see. >>> LOL @ this hook; finally, it’s you and not a singin’ hook!! Good job wit tha club lyrics, here; feelin’ it! My Rating: 3.8


17. “Toe Up” Feat. Yung & John-B
Features! >>> Vybe beat… Ooh @ tha hook; feelin’ tha attitude and real hook! Tha 1st verse sounds good; great representations wit tha features and club vibes! Tha 2nd verse, also wit one of tha features, sounds good, too! You comin’ through on tha 3rd verse wit a great attitude, here! Overall, look what collaborators do! My Rating: 4.2


18. “Life”
>>> SMH, Tupac interview in tha beginning? Bad-soundin’ beat ta go wit dat, too? Even though I criticized, I think tha hook’s pretty good, fa you, and tha verse sounds like you can deliver some good shit. Overall, not really for me, but it’s not too bad. My Rating: 3.6


19. “Lil’ Homie”
>>> Not likin’ tha start/hook/beat. LOL, your fast rhymes keep me company! My Rating: 3.5


20. “Beat It”
>>> LOL, sounds like an amateur version of Level on tha hook, here; dumb shit! Not bad wit tha rhymes, too, although a lil’ mainstream… My Rating: 3.7


21. “Snakes”
I like dis title. >>> Sounds like some of tha typical shit on here dat I don’t really have much ta say. However, tha title and content keep me interested. Also, your good rhymes; can’t forget dat! My Rating: 3.9


22. “Ice Cold”
>>> Good beat start, lol? Well, tha 1st coupla seconds. Again, gettin’ sick of these singin’-type hooks even though I’m likin’ them fa your songs… Only decent, overall; can’t get too interested in tha content. My Rating: 3.2


23. “Wham!!” Feat. Yung
>>> Ooh, catchy hook wit dis title, lol! Nothin’ special ‘bout tha beat ‘cept tha bass, at times. Good job from Yung, here; “blunt in my mouth!” Feelin’ what he bringin’, here! You’re on tha 2nd verse wit some background vocals, soundin’ like a good combination and collaboration! My Rating: 4.1


24. “Cummin’”
Spelling, lol? >>> Kinda feelin’ dis and tha vibe…; nice content, lol. LOL, tha hook says it all when it comes ta nuttin’ on tha girls, lol!! My Rating: 3.9


25. “That’s What Niggas Do” Feat. Yung
Ooh, looks tight. >>> WTH wit tha Tupac intro? I did like what he said, though. LOL @ tha “I’ma smoke weed ‘cause that’s what niggas do” part; I wonder where tha obsession comes from? Do you remember date and time when you first smoked? Be creative by rememberin’! Definitely a catchy hook, ya dig? Thumbs up ta Yung bein’ featured, again; lol, “tabs” instead of “weed,” here, lol! You already know it’s all together in a family, lol. You have good rhymes, here, too; gotta feel it! My Rating: 4.4


26. “Hero” Feat. Static Stoppa
Last song. >>> Knew it sounded familiar; was on my radio show. Didn’t realize who was who but you’re tha tight rapper; no wonder! Tha rhymes caught my attention ‘cause I wouldn’t’ve played somethin’ wit dis beat on my radio show! Also, I had it as a different title on my radio show, smh. And, I think tha ID was flipped, which makes it worse. My Current Rating: 3.8


Overall: Looks like you did good…; 3.9 for tha CD rating? That’s pretty good for a non-Baton Rouge artist that’s not too known!
