Review #1,197: B.T. Da Hound "Gutta Priest Vol. 2: Da Jungle Book"

Reviewed on 9.23.2012 (Review #1,197)



Keepin’ tha reviewz goin’: This iz for Money Route Entertainment/Battleline Records: B.T. Da Hound Gutta Priest Vol. 2: Da Jungle Book! I liked your name as just B.T. (from tha Shop Shutters); I dunno why everyone has to have “the,” “tha,” or “da” attached to their name, outta nowhere. But, after failing to send me CDs in tha mail, I hope this iz tha real first CD, despite it bein’ a 2nd volume! Start Time: 1:57 PM | End Time: 3:03 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!

01. “Real Me”
>>> Beat sounds hot, and tha intro sounds real long, but has me anticipated… Hearin’ you spit on tha 1st verse, and it sounds nice; good attitude wit your “Money Route” focus! I still can’t picture your face when I hear you rap, at times, but you kickin’ ass wit your rhymes, here! You makin’ dem “residents” really get on tha move, listenin’ to you; good shit wit this non-stop verse! My Rating: 4.2


02. “Get Off” Feat. Pitt & Ya Boy
Looks like a tight collaboration I finna hear!! >>> B N.I.C.E. doin’ tha beat, but why a beat tag? Ooh, really fast wit tha rappin’ comin’ outta nowhere, here! Huh? Mixin’? I thought this was an album; ugh, anotha “mixtape!” Feelin’ tha 1st verse, strictly ready ta “fight!” Tha hook’s nice and buck; really feelin’ all tha energy bein’ brought to tha track, here!! Tha 2nd verse sounds like a lesson ready ta be tought, lol! Great shit here; gotta luv it! Time fa tha 3rd verse, and we’re “bouncin’ off da wall,” non-stop!! A “MySpace” link at tha end; can only imagine how old this iz! My Rating: 4.6


03. “Fuck ‘Em” Feat. B N.I.C.E. & Lapz
>>> Jon Boi beat; ooh! Wow, really lovin’ tha laidback beat wit these great, 225 sounds in tha mist of it! It’s hard ta explain, but tha beat sounds sound great; it’s tha vibe that’s got me hooked! Tha 1st verse sounds good ova this beat; not much ta say about it, but good job… Tha hook sounds nice; reminds me of Big Blaze, Bloc Munstaz and all them and their great, original music! Thumbs up fa all tha middle finga attitudes on tha hook; good, dumb shit! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, reppin’ hard fa havin’ so many things, as well as crusin’! Of course, “eat dat dick” randomly appeared in a verse like this, of course… We got tha 3rd verse, and it’s like a boomerang wit tha “shootin’” at this girl, lol! Catchy rhymes from tha 3rd verse! My Rating: 4.4


04. “If I’mma Die”
Like tha title…, I think? >>> Jammin’ vibe wit tha beat start; love it! Tha 1st verse sounds tight; definitely likin’ how you sound on this verse, and you’re spittin’ some great street shit! Ooh, tha hook’s tight, especially wit “goin’ out like tha western movies;” hittin’ ‘em wit dat gutta shit!! Tha 2nd verse sounds hella tight, too; you got a great voice when it comes ta deliverin’ this shit, and it’s keepin’ me interested!! My Rating: 4.7


05. “Feels Good” Feat. Chips
>>> Keepin’ tha down south vibe comin’ along… Nice job wit tha hook, too, 100% southern… Tha 1st verse sounds like tha life of a down south playa; good shit. Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, here; glad tha southern feelin’ iz still here. Tha 3rd verse’s keepin’ this shit goin’, too; “Baton Rouge ackin’” at its finest! My Rating: 4.3


06. “24/7”
>>> Jumped inta this joint immediate—oh wait, why tha mixin’ in tha beginning? I guess that was unique? Almost sounded like it was a really old song… Well, I’m hearin’ tha actual hook, and it sounds great wit this beat! You’re strictly ‘bout this music shit “24/7,” at times… Tha 2nd verse also sounds great wit tha hood shit you bringin’ to tha table; you can’t stop doin’ what you doin’ and hopefully, music’ll come outta you all tha time!! My Rating: 4.5


07. “O.A.K. (Keep Pumping)” Feat. Mailman
Likin’ tha featured artist’s name, as well as this representation of tha 225 title! >>> Ooh, great beat start!! What a pulse-soundin’ sound!! Tha 1st verse sounds good; definitely a 225 joint, to tha fullest! “Redrum” spelled backward—oh, “murder,” lol! Nice way ta start tha 2nd verse off, and I know there’s a lotta “murder” ta avoid! Soon, ta be thugged out wit tha slang, you might catch “a drum” spelled backwards: “murda,” lol! Long beat outro? Oh, tha hook repeated outta nowhere; good shit! My Rating: 4.6


08. “Can We Talk” Feat. Adlib
>>> An X-Fyle beat; let’s see how this gon turn out wit Adlib on tha feature… Beat sounds nice and addictive wit tha sounds! You’re on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit your “plans;” thumbs up fa stayin’ focused! Adlib sounds like his mouth’s movin’ back and forth, side to side, lol; definitely a nice job done wit tha hook! Tha singing’s definitely catchy! Ooh, you got your “Girbauds” on; gotta love ya! You’re “19”? I thought you were, like, 10 years older or somethin’? LOL, gotta love my confusion and how I instantly get confused! Tha 2nd verse sounds like a great getaway; nice job wit these lyrics. I may take a trip to Florida in November; great getaway, but more like a disaster-turning-warzone ‘cause my 91-year-old great-grandma’s house area’s gettin’ demolished! :( So, it’s a moving process… My Rating: 4.4


09. “Big” Feat. Savage Sosa
>>> Ooh, hot beat start!!! Yes, hella catchy hook!!! Everything iz a “big” accomplishment, “big” mission, and more! Glad you feel this way wit these “big” thoughts! Thumbs up fa tha 1st verse, too, as you can’t stop wit these things you want to complete! Savage Sosa on tha 2nd verse? Definitely likin’ his verse and these million different “big” things he wants/he has! Thumbs up fa tha R.I.P. “ta Lil’ Handy!” Very addictive, here; great collaboration!! Sounds like we’re back ta you on tha 3rd verse, and it sounds like a lot of shit goin’ on wit your life; great ta hear, though! My Rating: 4.8


10. “My Nigga” Feat. HB
>>> Rich On Da Track! Likin’ that it’s only 107 seconds long! It’s good ta have short songs, here and there! Wow, 41-second beat intro; only 66 seconds ta rap, lol? Feelin’ tha attitude that you’re bringin’ to tha table, here! For a song about someone who has died, this iz definitely on some street shit! At least you’re not boo-hooin’ and cryin’ on tha track; you’re comin’ through in a street perspective! My Rating: 4.5


½time: I’m definitely in-tune wit this CD, right now; B.T., of course, you’re definitely holdin’ it down fa tha 225, here!! Any Shop Shutter kicks ass ‘cause all y’all came from tha streetz! A 4.5-rated CD, currently; keep up tha great work!!!!


11. “No Rules”
>>> You sound good rappin’ on this; thumbs up fa tha street shit you bringin’ to tha 1st verse! There’s no denyin’ you… no denyin’ you!! Tha hook sounds tight without “rules,” lol! Good shit comin’ from tha 2nd verse, too; layin’ down your own “rules” fa these dudes!! My Rating: 4.3


12. “Baton Rouge” Feat. Beezy
Who exactly iz this Beezy? I know four already: Beezy B, Beezy Bird, Beezy Boy & Beezy Boy (with Savage Life Entertainment)… >>> Thought I heard “rush” for tha title, lol; that’s how you can tell this iz definitely southern!! Great hook from this Beezy dude, and this beat iz 100% amazing!!! This iz tha true “Baton Rouge” sound, in a classic way!!! This Beezy dude’s on tha 1st verse, and he’s got a gutta vibe! Strictly holdin’ these “Baton Rouge” streetz down! Oh, “Oaktown”? No wonder why he sounds so kick-assy/tight!!! Let’s see what you got on tha 2nd verse… It’s almost like you’re rappin’ without takin’ a breather!! Great job wit tha rhymes!! You’re fulla dem rhymes!! We got tha 3rd verse, here, and you’re still comin’ through wit dat tight shit!! My Rating: 4.9


13. “Fuck A Bitch”
>>> Anotha really short one; glad to have a lil’ versatility! Beat sounds good ta rap on, but you have tha rhymes ta help this shit out! Tha streetz have healthy air, thanx ta you! Keep tha attitude comin’ along; attitude helps tracks and show emotions!! Tha hook sounds a lil’ hilarious wit how you sound wit these vocals; southern and funny, here and there! That outro sounded familiar from somewhere; glad you threw that in there, too, lol! My Rating: 4.3


14. “Strategize” Feat. Young Sport
This looks anticipatin’, between tha title and new featured artist! >>> Beat sounds good; likin’ tha non-stop sounds throughout it, too. Nice job wit tha 1st verse, here, as these rhymes are for those that have a plan. Tha hook sounds catchy, too; I’m likin’ tha different voice/vocal thing! Tha 2nd verse sounds good; you and your missions! What tha? Why does this have, like, a 150-second beat outro? Should’ve just taken it out! My Rating: 4.0


15. “Brang It Out” Feat. Dumaine, Rena & Adlib
>>> Why a B N.I.C.E. beat tag? It sounds like a nice beat, but no need for tha tag! Adlib feature? I thought I heard this from somewhere? Might’ve been Dumaine’s CD? I know this ID’s confusin’ me… Yea, I think it’s originally called “Get It Outta You”, or somethin’ like that. My Current Rating: 4.2


16. “Satisfied” Feat. B N.I.C.E.
>>> Sounds nice wit how this person doesn’t “believe in change,” for a start. Tha beat sounds nice fa you ta rap on; you always have your ears on tha southern flava!! Tha hook sounds okay wit tha sung hook; good flava fa this and message about tha fucked up world we’re livin’ in… Oh, if only someone/people can help my rappin’ granny and her 91-year-old mom! Here’s tha 2nd verse (B N.I.C.E.) and only “21,” at whateva year this iz from… My Rating: 4.0


17. “Step ‘Em Down” Feat. Ya Boy
>>> Beat sounds like it’s a club banga or somethin’, but tha content sounds gangsta? Tha hook sounds good; almost sounds like a DJ’s hosting? Yea, this iz on tha club tip, and tha 1st verse’s comin’ through wit some gangsta shit! Tha 2nd verse’s sounds like it fits wit tha 1st verse, keepin’ this club vibe comin’. LOL, “this jigga fa you;” thanx, lol! Tha DJ sounds random, here; a weird Ya Boy Earl? “2008”? Gotta luv how tha Nu$$ie-Alive times neva die!! My Rating: 4.1


18. “My Dogg (Shoutouts)”
>>> Tha beat’s nice and southern fa you ta rap on, wit a lil’ bit of an upbeat feel. Tha rappin’ sounds good; I like how you say tha title a lot; “my muthafuckin’ dogg!” You know, that’s how I feel about you, B.T.; thanx fa discoverin’ me, “my muthafuckin’ dogg!!” What’s up wit tha long beat outro and then, tha repeat of tha hook? Weird… My Rating: 4.2


19. “Play It By The Book”
>>> Great beat start!!! Shout out ta this mysterious producer!!! “2008”? Iz this whole CD from 2008? No wonder why it sounds soooooooooooooo good!!! Those Nu$$ie-Alive times are so classic and almost impossible ta repeat!! “Rest in peace my nigga…;” how do you know so many people? I actually neva had a friend die in my life, before! You sound good on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit a “Mariah Carey” mention from “Touch My Body”, as you talked about her wit “YouTube,” lol? That’s anotha great Nu$$ie-Alive mention! Oh, tha 2008 times!! Nice job wit tha verse and short song; thumbs up fa supplyin’ tha streetz, non-stop!! My Rating: 4.1


20. “My Shit”
>>> Dumaine doin’ tha beat; interestin’! Did he produce most of these songs wit no beat tags? Anyway, you’re comin’ through nicely wit tha 1st verse; “not leavin’ ‘til I call it a night”? Glad you have perseverance!! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too; you ain’t frontin’ wit this g-shit! Good job wit tha 3rd verse, too; keep stayin’ on your “shit!” My Rating: 4.2


Overall: You kicked a lot of ass here, B.T.!! Hope you still sound so great in 2012! Nothin’ was close to disappointin’ on here; amazin’!!
