Review #1,172: Big Wayne "Da Hidden Secret"

Reviewed on 8.04.2012 (Review #1,172)


Times are rough right now, but I wanted to review this CD before my radio show retires in 13 dayz: Big Wayne Da Hidden Secret; Bad Azz Entertainment in tha buildin’ on this one. Start Time: 11:54 AM | End Time: 12:21 PM


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 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. If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

© 2012 CD Review (Review #1,172) reviewed on 8.04.2012 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Can’t Fuck With Me”
Production from Sean T. >>> Sounds pretty nice in tha beginning; likin’ your 2K12, updated voice. Glad you’re really “gettin’ money,” and tellin’ tha truth, unlike some of these fake fuckerz I deal wit, at times… Good shit you spittin’, hood/gangsta style, here! I also like how as you’re gettin’ older, you’re soundin’ a touch like your brother, DJ B-Real! My Rating: 4.5


02. “Gangsta Shit” Feat. Doodie Da Juvie
You on tha beat; I’m lookin’ forward ta this collaboration! >>> Sounds pretty good; almost gives an older vibe, for me, wit tha production! Some hot sounds goin’ on wit this beat, in a different style… Good collaboration; tha both of y’all holdin’ it down! Doodie almost sounds a lil’ like Hatch Boy, here; thumbs up! My Rating: 4.3


03. “I’m Own Point” Feat. DJ B-Real
Let’s hear this, produced by you! >>> Strong beat comin’ from you, here; good shit!! Definitely “own point” wit tha hook, too; supastar status, here! This anotha good collaboration, here; tha both of y’all really goin’ on, consistently! Gotta show luv ta dat boy B-Real! My Rating: 4.7


04. “All Over Da World” Feat. Doodie Da Juvie
Anotha Doodie collab, wit Sean T on tha beat! >>> A lil’ calmer; sounds like a good follow-up single, like I’d picture on TV or somethin’. A lil’ too many “money” lines between tha both of y’all; I don’t think tha world ends wit “money.” Example: I’m gettin’ my external drive fixed, right now; it’s tha timing that counts for me, not tha $2,000ish it gon cost. My Rating: 4.1


05. “Changing Like Da Weather” Feat. Ray Hustle
Thought that was Ray Vicks on tha feature; lemme hear what this new feature sounds like, collaboratin’ wit you, on this Sean T beat! >>> Nice gutta attitude goin’ on wit tha hook wit a betta beat than tha previous one! I like how you strongly addressin’ tha haterz ta “suck [your] dick;” go get ‘em, Big Wayne! Betta rhymes here than on tha previous song, too; good shit! Now, time for tha newbie on tha 2nd verse… Nothin’ brand new wit tha rhymes and content, but they sound like they can easily fit in wit Bad Azz Ent., here. Big Wayne, you keepin’ tha great definitions of dem bitch-azzes “changing like da weather!” My Rating: 4.4


06. “Same Ol’ Shit” Feat. DJ B-Real
Yes, anotha brother and brother collaboration, wit Sean T doin’ tha beat, once again!! >>> Good vibe, here; mixin’ a semi-club/semi-jammin’ vibe wit some gangsta shit. :tu Lol, B-Real doin’ a lotta swearin’, here (not just cussin’, lol); definitely feelin’ tha attitudes from tha both of y’all! My Rating: 4.3


07. “Rollin’ 2 Pieces”
Self-produced. >>> Can’t complain about dis; luv tha “fucked-up”ness, as always! I also like that it’s not as long, which would fit good squeezin’ into a radio show/shift wit wantin’ to have a lot of songs in it! My Rating: 4.4


½time: So far, real good and consistent; luvin’ tha 2K12 Big Wayne, and I’m seein’ that you don’t stop doin’ what you doin’!! Keep up tha great work, as this CD’s currently worth a 4.4 for me!!!!


08. “I’mma Hustla” Feat. Money Bagz
Self-produced, once again! >>> Sounds good; I like and enjoy your neva-endin’ mission of bein’ a “hustla” and hustlin’ your azz off! Good 2nd verse from Money Bagz, too; hope he’ll learn how to thank someone for receivin’ awards soon! That could really be what’s up!!! Anotha good, short song, too… My Rating: 4.3


09. “Keep Your Head Up”
Keepin’ tha self-produced jointz comin’ along… >>> Beat’s a lil’ slower, and has some interestin’ sounds in it! “Smokin’ purple;” nice way to describe this beat/track’s mood! Lol, even shorter length? Tryin’ to get a bunch of short songs for my final radio show, on August 17; will I be able to fit 100 within, say, 6 hours? Hope so; good shit wit this joint! My Rating: 4.2


10. “Yaw Ain’t Fucking With Us”
Switchin’ it up to a Sean T beat; wonder if that dude’ll discover me soon? >>> Sounds like a “street” anthem, based off of what you sayin’ on tha hook. Beat’s startin’ to sound like regular mainstream rap music, so I’m basically into your rhymes tha most, here. Sounds more like automatic, positive-thinking-type shit, here; I’ll give it props… My Rating: 4.2


11. “All About My Money” Feat. DJ B-Real
Boring title, but I should like it if y’all are in it. You’re on tha beat, this time; lemme hear! >>> Sounds pretty nice, just like I expected. “$100 billz ain’t shit to a nigga;” speakin’ of sayin’ dat, why can’t $500 billz come back? Good job wit tha rhymes, even though it’s yada, yada, yada for tha 2010s generation (“money,” money,” money”). B-Real, too, but this shit’s jammin’, in a way. My Rating: 4.2


12. “Miss My Dawg”
Likin’ tha length; you on tha beat, again! >>> Good emotions comin’ out, here, on this nice beat you produced! At 24 years-old, I guess I’m blessed to know that I neva had a friend die, yet; hope it stays that way, although, exactly, what are ‘friends’? Nice lil’ quick verse; you did ya thang describin’ your emotions on this one! My Rating: 4.4


13. “I Don’t Trust Yaw Niggaz” Feat. Lil’ Boosie
Likin’ tha “yaw” titles…; of course, you had to be on tha beat wit this one! >>> Sounds good, especially wit your keys! Tha hook’s pretty nice, too, especially tha repeatin’ of tha title! Thumbs up on tha rhymes; you keepin’ tha consistency consistently goin’, Big Wayne!! Sounds like Boosie’s verse was recorded through tha phone? Sounds nice and undaground, this way, unlike tha mainstream-soundin’ shit he keeps puttin’ out/that keeps appearin’! My Rating: 4.3


14. “Keep On Pushing” Feat. Strokes & DJ B-Real
Finally, a B-Real beat; lookin’ forward ta hearin’ dis!! >>> Sounds dry wit tha formerly-used sample, but I’m really likin’ tha classic, ‘90s/early ‘00s vibe!! Nice, unique B-Real beat! Sounds like some good shit from Strokes on tha 1st verse; glad to hear him again, and keepin’ his motivation out there! Ooh, nice hook from B-Real; givin’ him a thumbs up! Sets tha mood smooth…gangsta…gutta…undaground…; what else? Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse, and it sounds like you’re really focused, Big Wayne; definitely feelin’ how you comin’ through on this track, right chea! Got your “pillz,” huh? Gotta luv ya, Big Wayne! Keepin’ tha A-grade outcomes comin’ along, we got B-Real on tha 3rd verse; couldn’t’ve been betta planning than this!! Good rhymes; luv his motivation and how muthafuckin’ cool he iz!!!!! My Rating: 4.6


15. “Get Ya Hate Own”
Endin’ it wit a beat from you. If this iz at least a 4.0 rating, then this CD’s worth five stars from me (all 4.0 or higher ratings)! >>> Whoo, luvin’ tha beat start!!! Real great sounds from you, here, and tha hook’s pretty catchy for tha haterz ta “get [they] hate own!” O-to tha-W-N!!! Nice, semi-quick flow comin’ from you, here; givin’ this a thumbs up wit your continuous motivation! Nice 2nd verse, too; glad you’re on-guard, but be 100+% on-guard for tha feds! Don’t wanna be screamin’, “FREE BIG WAYNE,” next! My Rating: 4.5


Overall: Definitely a nice job wit this CD, Big Wayne!! Major props for gettin’ five stars from me!! Also, it was great doin’ business wit you, as I uploaded it to DatPiff! No matter how busy I was wit my internship, short film, graduation project, class, and radio shows, I made sure that I put it on DatPiff tha day you told me to!
