Review #1,078: DJ 5150 & Dre "N.O. To The B.R. 7"

Reviewed on 10.30.2011 (Review #1,078)




Review #3 for today iz DJ 5150 & Dre N.O. To The B.R. 7; I finally put tha periods in tha title, since I was unsure tha previous times. Also, this iz 1:47:19? Guess this wasn’t released on CD? I don’t think cheatin’ tha length iz a good idea… especially, when I have a feelin’ there’ll prolly be novelty, or repetitive artists on here (not sayin’ I looked at tha tracklisting, yet, but that’s what I usually expect, sometimes, wit these compilations). Start Time: 10:48 AM | End Time: 11:45 AM


Disclaimer: 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 already love it. 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. Calliope Var Feat. B.G. “Uptown”
>>> Sounds like this should get exposure, like tha “Nolia Clap” dayz. Even though when I was 15, 16, I used to think, “that music was okay, and would always be big.” Now, I’m 23, and it’s like, “that music’s tight, but it never really gets out in tha MTVs and all dat, anymore.” Definitely a jam, here, between tha beat, tha catchy hook, Var doin’ tha damn thang, and Gizzle doin’ a nice job, too! My Rating: 4.6


02. Lil’ Phat “SouthSide”
>>> Nice lil’ beat and semi-okay hook; an okay song, overall, for tha “SouthSide.” My Rating: 3.7


03. Ka$hflow “Headlines”
>>> Sounds a lil’ like Dee-1… Not much of a great start wit tha “money” but it’s decent, overall; sounds like it could go mainstream, in a way… My Rating: 3.5


04. Ray Vicks Feat. 38 Slim “Big Timer”
>>> Sounds like an early 2000s Louisiana vibe, here! Sounds like it could be “big” wit tha sound, here! Ooh, a “shi-shi-shi-shit yea” start to tha 1^st verse; nice combo of tha “shi”s!! Speakin’ of a “no-namer,” here’s tha statuses of how people should be divided in: no CD out; a CD out; on TV; that’s how I look at who’s big and who’s in tha same circle. Overall, this iz a decent/good song for me. My Rating: 4.2


05. Level Feat. Young Ready “We Get Dumb”
>>> EQ. A lil’ combined mix between novelty and virgin wit sending things, here. Oh, I heard this already; #13 on Street Credit 3. Now that I’m 23, it’s more of their loss instead of actin’ like a virgin wit sendin’ things; I know people’ll be hittin’ me up instead of my dumb-ass, previous initiatives, since I’m somewhat-retired from random communication! My Current Rating: 4.7


06. Stevie Drumma Feat. Juvenile “Wholelotta”
>>> Sounds good/new; I’m likin’ how Stevie Drumma sounds on here, includin’ his drummin’ beat in tha background, at times! Juvie sounds good for tha feature, here; you know what it iz wit tha collaboration! Even a great, actual outro sound wit it sayin’ Stevie Drumma’s on tha beat! My Rating: 4.0


07. Lil’ Wayne Feat. Birdman “Belee Dat”
>>> Playaz Circle song from ’07 on tha sample? Lookin’ at who’s on tha song, it’s ironic dat tha watered-down, David Guetta/Usher “Without You” just came on; those two go wit these two! DG = too pop, not too dance; LW/Birdman = too pop, not too Louisiana. Nothin’ actually bad, here; at least Wayne & Baby delivered a non-wack song, finally. My Rating: 3.3


08. Birdman Feat. Lil’ Wayne “Y U Mad”
Damn, again? Prolly could’ve subtracted one so tha length of this CD turns into tha length of a CD! >>> Kinda pointless to have two, back to back, but wow, hot beat for a start! Iz that Nicki Minaj on tha hook? Why no source of feature? Not too bad wit Wayne, either; actually, gonna give this a plus! My Rating: 3.9


10. Level Feat. Spitta & Nu$$ie “Pussy-Ass Nigga”
>>> EQ. This looks familiar; lemme see what # it was… #2. Either way, if you wanted to make a CD, you could’ve prolly subtracted tha previous Level song ‘cause this one’s betta for me. Also, Nu$$ie in tha ID? It’s only a sample… Then again, I always put Beezy Bird in tha feature when he goes, “bow, bow,” in tha background of beats. My Current Rating: 4.7


11. A-One (Wissel) Feat. A.R. “What We Doin’”
A lil’ on tha novelty side… I can’t wait to hear artists on this CD that actually pay me for things and are not virgins wit sending CDs, even though depending on wantin’ hard copies iz somewhat in my past! >>> A lil’ long; prolly could’ve shortened… This sounds a lil’ familiar, but iz nothin’ special, overall. My Rating: 3.2


12. Ka$hflow Feat. Curren$y “Paper Mission”
Prolly could’ve limited it to one appearance from an artist in order to save space? Double $, here… >>> Sounds like a good, slow song; good job, Curren$y, on tha 1^st verse wit your rhymes! Ka$hflow’s only decent, for me, but it ain’t bad, overall. My Rating: 3.6


13. Curren$y Feat. Lil’ Wayne “Smoke Sumthin’”
Again? >>> Good old school feel… Thought I might’ve seen/heard this somewhere else, but I dunno about hearin’ Wayne’s voice, here… My Rating: 3.4


14. K.G. Feat. Ray Vicks & Trap Louisiana “Drugs Sold”
LOL @ tha straight-up English title, and not an evasion! >>> A DJ Burn One tag? I thought I’m listenin’ to DJ 5150 & Dre? Not bad of a song, overall; barely know Trap Louisiana and don’t think I know who K.G. iz… My Rating: 3.8


½time: A couple extra songs from tha same artists, but overall, this iz pretty good; a 3.9 for tha CD rating.


15. Lee Banks Feat. Marcel P. Black “Dreams Shatter’d”
>>> Don’t know what ta make outta tha long intro… So far, it’s a good vibe, and tha 1^st verse from Lee Banks has a different, calm twist to it. P. sounds good wit his preachin’, too; nice lil’ calm-soundin’ song, overall. My Rating: 3.8


16. Jerkaman “Straight From The Nolia”
Let’s hear this 504 switchup! >>> Beat iz only okay; nothin’ much happenin’ wit it, but it does sound good wit this “Jerk”, lol. Glad it’s someone different on this CD, finally; good to hear from this dude… My Rating: 4.1


17. Magnolia Boyz “U Don’t Know Me”
Anotha 504 for my ears… >>> Different style, here; likin’ tha fastness, at times, wit tha title, and tha organ beat! Rhymes sound like they’re on a street level, from some official, Nolia boyz; nice job wit all this, too, even though it’s a lil’ long. Also, gotta comment tha content: “you ain’t bought no smoke from me;” you know I like this shit! My Rating: 4.3


18. Lil’ Boosie Feat. Ray Vicks “Money Got Me Fucked Up”
Novelty. >>> Good, but I don’t have time for this; aight for Ray Vicks, but I’d rather see it in my hand! My services are hella cheap; holla at me, sometime! My Rating: 3.6


19. DJ 5150 Feat. Ville Boyz “What Yo Block Like”
Now, tha producer’s in tha ID (J Buc)? Your own song? >>> Sounds tight, of course, but how does everyone assume to have a “block” that has somethin’ goin’ on? “My block” has nothin’ that goes on, about 98% of tha time. My Rating: 4.4


20. J Buc Feat. Lil’ Cali “Stuck Up”
Double? Finally, a new song after almost two years? >>> Hot shit, especially tha hook; tha beat might’ve been better in tha previous song, but this iz on that A-grade level, still! Glad to hear Buc rappin’ again; kinda felt absent for a while… ROFL, an unsourced Lil’ Cali!!! Why do people leave him outta tha ID? This happened wit Carter Boy’s CD, I believe, once before? My Rating: 4.5


21. Young Ready Feat. B-Raw, Lil’ Phat & DJ B-Real “Just Like You”
I will add DJ B-Real to tha ID. When I was on tha phone wit him, he felt like people would leave him outta tha IDs when he would do tha hooks. Wit me puttin’ him in tha ID, he feels much betta! My Current Rating: 4.7


22. Shell Feat. Gar “Face Shots”
Looks anticipatin’; Shell, where’s my phone call and interview? >>> Usually, Shell has a borderline 225/borderline 504 feel; this sounds more like some jammin’ shit from tha 225, so thumbs up for tha vibe! Also, good job wit tha 1^st verse, strictly aimin’ at people! Anotha jam from Shell; he neva stops and thankfully, doesn’t brag about bein’ on TV in tha past, unlike certain artists I’ve seen in tha past! Good shit from Gar; neva can tell what he sounds like but when he gets on tha tracks, they’re on-n-poppin’! He’s got “100” of everythang? No wonder why he keeps it “100,” too, lol! My Rating: 4.7


23. Max Minelli Feat. Kevin Gates “Touchin’ Da Roof”
Still waitin’ to review that Heart Of A King; tha hard copy I ordered iz just sittin’ on my desk, but I’m reviewin’ CDs in tha order I got ‘em… >>> Tha hook ain’t too bad, here, and tha beat ain’t too bad, either; guess this gon be on a good, decent level? On tha 2^nd verse, now, and it’s still on a decent level for me; guess I’ll have ta wait fa Gates ta come on? Good ta hear from Gates; good combo, overall! My Rating: 4.1


24. Down Bad “Bouncin’ Thru”
LOL @ tha reversed ID; title’s “Bouncin’ Thru” and artist’s Down Bad. Didn’t play it on tha air, yet, but it’s good. Nice job wit tha energy, as always, and tha tight beat! My Rating: 4.2


25. Lil’ Boxx “Today”
Set tha bar for my radio edits! Why did it sound like tha quality decreased once tha hook came on? Nice job wit Buc on tha beat and crazy-ass Boxx on tha mic!! My Current Rating: 4.7


26. Jason Lyric Feat. Pimpin’ Magnolia “Million Dollar Click”
>>> A lil’ ripoff of Memphis Bleek/Young Chris “We Ballin’” from ’03 in tha 1^st verse, but this ain’t too bad, overall… My Rating: 3.5


27. The Show Feat. Miketaylor, Bronco, H2Pro, DY & Iris P “EGMG Cypher”
Did I get tha names right? A lil’ long for a mixtape that didn’t have enough length… >>> A lil’ “Paid & Full” beat style, here, but why tha dumb-ass Drumma Boy thing in tha beginning as a tag? Good shit from everyone, here; this iz like an automatic high rating ‘cause of it bein’ a freestyle, wit many people, lol! My Rating: 4.7


28. Curren$y “N.O. Shit”
>>> Doesn’t sound like it belongs here, off top. Then again, 1:35 on tha length can squeeze in… Sounds like anotha good freestyle; a lil’ boring wit tha sounding, overall, but it fits as somethin’ good. My Rating: 3.5


29. Magic “Rollin’”
>>> Someone gave this to me as somethin’ to check out and I wondered why. Definitely not for me; what tha hell iz this shit? My Rating: 1.1


Overall: If you were to fit tha songs, I would’ve done without #3, 5, 7, 9 (didn’t hear, but double appearance), 11, 13, 29, and prolly cut endings off to fit you a CD. Either way, not too bad, overall; always enjoy tha mixes of 504 & 225, even though I keep gettin’ hit wit a bunch of novelty feelings.
