Review #1,217: Lil' Trill & Shell "By Any Means Necessary"

Reviewed on 10.30.2012 (Review #1,217)



What’s good, this ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog, doin’ my next review for tonight! This one right chea will be a live review because I needed to update from tha previous one! BTW, if you want a live review, I charge $100 for ‘em, live on camera; this iz used for an example, so I’m doin’ it for free, at tha moment—just this one, though! Now then, let’s get into this: Trill Entertainment’s Lil’ Trill & Shell By Any Means Necessary!! I’m really lookin’ forward to some new music from dat boy Shell; glad anotha CD’s out, finally!! I bought it off of Amazon today; of course, I have ta show dem boyz luv by givin’ dem a lil’ bit of my money, ya feel me? Gotta support real music!! Now then, without further or do, let’s get inta this!! Start Time: 9:32 PM | End Time: 11:10 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 #1,217) reviewed on 10.30.2012 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “By Any Means Necessary” Feat. Lil’ Phat
DJ B-Real doin’ tha production, here! I’m rockin’ my R.I.P. Lil’ Phat t-shirt, right now, and today marks 1,477 dayz since I reviewed dat Life Of A Yungsta Vol. 1, back on October 14, 2008! I’m so anticipated fa this shit, right now; lemme hear it!! >>> Gotta luv dat Shell voice in tha beginning! Good shit from Shell on tha hook, on this DJ B-Real right chea! Gotta luv tha attitude too, when he says, “fuck!” Tha 1st verse iz a different yungin: Lil’ Trill, and he’s “hustlin’ ‘til his last breath;” good shit! Thumbs up fa tha real shit on tha 1st verse; you know people need shit at all times! Well, for me, I’m good wit how I am; don’t need much ‘cause I do lots of shit by myself! Here’s tha 2nd verse from Lil’ Phat, showin’ “some luv!” “Baptized in tha streetz,” so you know this iz official! Feelin’ tha “streetz” vibe he’s bringin’ to tha table, here! Too bad he did “die,” 4 months and 23 dayz ago! :( Lookin’ forward ta tha Thugga on tha 3rd verse!!! Yea, “fuck playin’” iz right!! Gotta keep it 100% --trill, 100% of tha time!! Definitely a nice job wit that verse, Shell; keep tha “IDGAF” attitude goin’!! My Rating: 4.5


02. “Top Notch”
Ooh, both J Buc & DJ B-Real on tha production, right chea!!! I knew that Bucster was gonna be somewhere on this CD; I hope he’s featured somewhere along tha line!! Anyway, comin’ from a Boosie title, I’m definitely lookin’ forward to tha Lil’ Trill/Shell 2012 version of “Top Notch”; let’s hear it!! >>> Definitely feelin’ this beginning beat; you know J Buc does it!!! Instead of “whips,” it’s more on tha “chick” side, here, for tha hook; definitely feelin’ it!! Got Lil’ Trill on tha 1st verse, and he sounds nice and grown wit what he sayin’; gotta keep chasin’ err-thang!! Here’s tha Thugga on tha 2nd verse, and he gon let tha “big dawg bite; ruff!” This “chick” must definitely be official; gotta luv when tha Thugga spits!! Got Lil’ Trill on tha 3rd verse, and he doin’ his thang; nice job! My Rating: 4.5


03. “Futuristic Lingo”
J-FUCKIN’-Buc on tha production, here!!! Holy shit, I’m so anticipated!!! This gon be a nice 3:59 I gon hear!!! >>> Can’t wait for all tha “oh” syllable rhymes, Shell; nice intro!! I feel like I’m singin’ tha hook already before I hear it in its completion; definitely catchy, Shell! It feels like you’re in a big car!! “Feels like I hit tha lotto?” Well, right in front of me iz a scratch-off I found in tha Mohegan Sun Casino; it’s a five-dollar winner!! Talk about lucky!! Good job wit tha 1st verse, Shell; you can pull through wit whateva you like, and it won’t sound wack!! Got Lil’ Trill on tha 2nd verse, here, and he fulla bukuness ‘cause that’s how he knows how ta do it! Am I older than you, Lil’ Trill? I have a feelin’ I am; I mean, I’m years older than Lil’ Phat! Hopefully, one day, I can you ta come up ta Northeast Pennsylvania ta perform or somethin’, Shell? I know it’ll happen!! Let’s see what we got—neva mind, no one’s on tha 3rd verse… Ugh, just gonna have ta deal wit this Bucster 41-second beat outro!! LOL!!! My Rating: 4.6


04. “Bob Barker” Feat. Mouse On Tha Track
Mouse doin’ tha beat here, too; lookin’ forward to his crazy-ass character he brings to tha table!! >>> LOL, iz that an owl in tha beginning? Time ta get our asses up!! Luv how Mouse says, “bitch,” in tha beginning!! He needs “every penny!!” Sounds like a funny hook; great catch on The Price Is Right! “Ain’t no bullshit” when it comes ta Mouse; good rappin’ goin’ on wit tha 1st verse, as you’re holdin’ your own beat down, Mouse! No cheeziness, here; this iz tha kinda Louisiana shit I wanna hear! Who will have tha 2nd verse? Will there be room for a 3rd one? *Gasps* Shell!! Needs “dat guala!!!” On a mission fa dat “comma!!” Ooh, “white” chalkin’ dem thieves!! Nice job wit tha catchy verse, Shell; you’re always entertainin’ ta hear!! Well, this time, a 3rd verse fit (hence, 47 seconds remaining); it’s Lil’ Trill, and he don’t “do deals!” “You gotta pay tha price if you want dat good;” I agree! I offer services fa tha low, so you gotta be able ta afford my services, ya feel me?! My Rating: 4.4


05. “They Don’t Like Me” Feat. Yo Gotti
Interestin’ collaboration, just like Young Ready did! We got Mouse doin’ tha beat, again, so I’m definitely lookin’ forward ta this! Lil’ Boosie sample? He’s on tha artist ID on tha Amazon upload! >>> Yup, Boosie on tha sample, here; sounds like this gon be some crunk-type shit!! Ooh, nice beats comin’ from Mouse, here; luvin’ tha sounds wit this hook and Boosie sample!! Of course, startin’ wit tha best: Shell on tha 1st verse! He definitely iz a “nightmare!!” Really feelin’ tha gangsta shit he spittin’ on this verse; can’t deny it!! “You don’t like me, I don’t like you;” that’s how it iz!! Yo Gotti comin’ up on tha 2nd verse; I can’t believe I’ve known who Yo Gotti was for at least eight years now!! Anti-“chain” reacher, here; good shit from tha Gotti! “Ugh, somebody call tha ambulance;” good shit, Gotti! Gotta feel tha character in your voice and delivery on this shit! Now, how will lil’ Lil’ Trill do on tha 3rd verse? “911,” here; what are you tha awaiting calls for Hurricane Sandy?! Speakin’ of Sandy, it hit us yesterday; not much damage in PA wit just winds, as we kept our power. However, on Long Island, NY, where I’m from, power knocked out almost a million peoples’ homes, a tree fell on my aunt’s house (luckily, they’re all okay), and my cousin’s house got thigh-high water in it! SMH, hope everyone hangs in there!! My Rating: 4.6


06. “Lights Off” Feat. DJ B-Real
Got Mr. Buc on tha production, again!!! SMH @ tha back cover for not listin’ DJ B-Real on tha feature; they’re, like, tha 10th person, at least, that didn’t give DJ B-Real credit! Lucky for tha Amazon upload, it’s lettin’ me know that DJ B-Real iz on tha feature, so I’m expectin’ a tight-ass hook, tight-ass beat, and tight-ass collaboration, here!!! >>> That’s right!! I turned my “lights off” fa this review of this song, right chea!! Nice hook from Shell, doin’ it in tha dark!!! Good shit from Shell on tha 1st verse, here; definitely tha “fuckin’ man!!” Yup, “no X-Box;” Shell “ain’t playin’!!” Yea, go “fuck her wit your ice on,” Shell, lol! Who gon be on tha 2nd verse? Lil’ Trill, always havin’ chicks… A lil’ bit of catchiness in this flow and character for tha 2nd verse, here… Ooh, creepy intro ta DJ B-fuckin’-Real!!! Luv when he sings on tha hooks, but this iz tight, too, wit tha character he bringin’ on tha 3rd verse, too!! “Fuck [DJ B-Real] wit his ice on,” too? LMAO!! Such a one-hitta-quitta, here!! But, Neon Hitch says, “I can fuck you betta!!” :) My Rating: 4.6


07. “Solo”
DJ B-Real on tha production; whoo!!! While others are yoloin’, y’all doin’ a “solo”? It’s a collaboration, here, or iz it? Only 2:53 on tha length, like tha “Take A Puff” dayz; let’s see what y’all can fit inta this one! >>> Ooh, water-drippin’ production, here; can we take a piss?! Uh oh, I have ta do this: Beezy Bird goin’, “bow,” in tha background, so I have ta give him credit! Well, Lil’ Boosie didn’t get tha feature credit, so I guess I’ll leave it out. But, I gave him a shout out! Good job wit tha hook, Shell; you definitely did tha damn thang on it!! Got Trill on tha 1st verse, and he doin’ it big on this B-Real beat; how could you not?! Glad Shell’s still rockin’ tha “Polo!” I still got tha shirt from January 2008 that reminds me of him, semi-Poloness!! Got him on tha 2nd verse, and he comin’ through wit nothin’ but coolness; gotta luv it!! Even him sayin’ tha word, “swag,” flows through nicely, here!! I can’t complain; gotta luv Shell and what tha Young Thugga does!!! My Rating: 4.5


08. “Hood Up”
Mouse doin’ tha beat, this time; what do we got fa 3:26 on tha length? 3.26.01 iz tha date I won $200 on a $2 scratch-off—yup, at 12-years-old!! You know I had my luckiness way before err-body knew who I was!! Speakin’ of my luckiness, in five dayz, next Sunday, November 4, it’ll be a decade since I came up wit my “FrankieThaLuckyDog” name, joining a message board; could you believe it?! >>> Ooh, sounds like an anthem I’m preparin’ for in tha beginning; homecoming anyone?! Shell and his mean mug on tha hook; gotta luv it!! Glad he reppin’ tha “hood” so much, five years inta knowin’ who he iz!! Good gangsta shit comin’ from Shell on tha 1st verse; he always holds it down without disappointment!! Nice “what tha fuck he said” part, too, causin’ confusion on these bitch-asses!!! Got Lil’ Trill on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some mo real shit ta offer fa tha “hood!” Hope ta hang wit you guys one day soon!! I’m “from tha Eastside,” ya feel me?! My Rating: 4.3


½time: What a great start, so far!!! I fuckin’ love tha shit outta this CD!! When was tha last time I reviewed a CD tha day it came out?!? It’s been a long while, but so far, 4.5 for tha CD rating; y’all qualify for five stars, if y’all can keep tha 4.0s up!!!!! Tried callin’ you, Shell, but you didn’t answer; hope you hit me back!!!


09. “Come Here” Feat. Webbie
DJ B-Real doin’ anotha beat!! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this shit, right now; I know Webbie gon come through fa y’all, Trill Entertainment style!! >>> A new beat tag from DJ B-Real? Ehh, sounds like Big Wayne’s; keep tha older ones!! Not bad wit tha hook; sounds catchy, even though I predict cold weather comin’ soon. However, I’m flyin’ ta Florida soon!! Got Shell on tha 1st verse, and he really turnin’ these chicks on, non-stop!! I like all tha “lil’ mama” shit on tha hook; good shit! Got tha Trillster on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit what else? Gettin’ dem chicks!! Webbie’s on tha 3rd verse, and he sounds dry wit his character… She said, “[Webbie’s] her favorite wine?!” *Knewe,* in my Uncle Willy voice!! My Rating: 4.2


10. “You My Everything”
Produced by DJ B-Real; don’t know what I’m gonna expect wit this one… >>> Not likin’ that “Trill Entertainment” start; uh oh, I have a bad feelin’ about this… Sorry, but I pass on this one; tha whole song’s auto-tune!! What a great, pathetic way ta ruin tha 5-star rating!!! My Rating: 1.0


11. “Me”
Mouse On Tha Track, here; I need to build my excitement back!! >>> Well, I hear tha Young Thugga in tha beginning, so I will try ta trust it… Beat intro sounds interestin’, so let’s see what happens… Sounds a lil’ catchy; I’m likin’ this “me” hook, here! Luvin’ tha voice of Shell on tha 1st verse, as he sounds high as fuck, purp or purple in tha cup!! Glad he comin’ through wit tha G-shit; that shit doesn’t get old… Lil’ Trill on tha 2nd verse? Are we gonna be normal this time?!? Now, on some G-shit; lemme try and appreciate it, right now… “Drown in mud” if they a hater? Interestin’; thought you’d think blood, Trill? LOL… My Rating: 4.4


12. “Stressin’”
DJ B-Real did tha beat, so I’m hopin’ it’s not depressin’… >>> Sounds like it could be tight, based off tha beginning sounds… I like this; good shit from Lil’ Trill on tha hook… Good real shit wit tha “warzone” shit, describin’ your city; good job! Got tha Thugga on tha 1st verse, and he comin’ through wit that “fiya flame!” Shell always has a “weapon” wit him wit this life he lives; a lil’ paranoid? It all good, though, as long as there’s none when seein’ me, ya feel me?! Got Trill on tha 2nd verse, and he comin’ through wit some good shit ta hear; this iz listenable… I like tha “rope” part ta end tha 2nd verse off; good job, guys! My Rating: 4.1


13. “Everythang”
Oh man, J Buc on tha beat, here!!! Definitely lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this one!!! >>> Sounds nice and slow, in a great perspective of mine!! Ooh, cool hook from Shell, here, includin’ Lil’ Trill, at times!! Shell’s definitely serious wit this shit, right chea!! Definitely a “vibe-to” joint, here, Shell; you got tha 1st verse on lock wit this, right chea!! Ooh, I’m likin’ tha beat toward tha end of tha 1st verse; J Buc knows how ta include extra elements in tha tracks!! Got Lil’ Trill on tha 2nd verse, and he comin’ through wit some good shit, too… “Life’s like a dice game;” luv tha gamble reference! Wow, this joint seemed like it breezed by; nice job, though! My Rating: 4.5


14. “Real Talk”
DJ B-Real doin’ tha beat, here; how will this one turn out? >>> Italian restaurant? Nice intro, B-Real!! Mi piache DJ B-Real!! Sounds like good support on tha hook, Lil’ Trill!; gotta stay together! Good tribute ta Lil’ Phat in tha beginning of tha 1st verse, Trill! Keepin’ this shit goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, soundin’ good, too… Shell’s “up all night”? Hope ta hear from you; no wonder why you didn’t answer, hence this CD just comin’ out! Nice G-shit on tha 2nd verse; gotta respect tha “code!” Also, nice lil’ R.I.P. ta “Phat” toward tha end of tha verse, too! My Rating: 4.0


15. “Changes”
Got B-Real on tha beat again; hope this iz gonna be somethin’ good, too! >>> Feelin’ tha beat beginning wit Shell in tha intro! I’m definitely feelin’ tha “changes” content on tha hook; “your best friends become strangers!” I definitely agree wit dat line, as someone borrowed money from me, last year, and hasn’t paid me a penny; too much of me caring, smh! But, we got Shell on tha 1st verse, and I’m likin’ tha smooth, laidback flow he bringin’ to tha verse, here! I like tha “lawn” part; “danga!!” “Your murderer’ll prolly be tha one you grew up wit;” cold line, Shell!! It’s definitely somethin’ powerful, right there!! Lil’ Trill’s on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some real shit, too; I appreciate hearin’ this, right now! My Rating: 4.4


16. “2 Days”
Got DJ B-Real on tha production; how will we end this? >>> Nice lil’ keys bein’ played by tha Real one! Nice synth sounds comin’ outta tha beat, too! Got Shell on tha 1st verse, and he comin’ through wit some real shit, here; sounds like it’s mainly dedicated ta those locked up. “White folks wanna see us all cuffed up;” I agree, and I’m white!! But, I fuck wit cha!! I don’t consider myself 100% white; I’m all tha way autistic!!! Interestin’ shit about those locked up on tha hook, Shell; “2 days” iz all it iz! Got Lil’ Trill on tha 2nd verse, and I appreciate his effort; glad he retweeting my things! Hope he follows me soon, since Shell’s followin’ me! Definitely some real shit here; can’t hate on this, of course! Hope err-body gets out soon!! My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Definitely a real nice CD, except #10!! BTW, according to tha back cover, where’s “My Light On” produced by Sonny Digital, and “NBA” produced by G-Money? Either way, I give y’all props fa this shit, right chea! Keep up tha great work; hope y’all luv this review, once again! You know I won’t stop grindin’, and I’ll always be a fan, dodgin’ a-tune or not!!
