Review #1,289: D. Jackson "Cake Life"

Reviewed on 5.29.2013 (Review #1,289)

Goin’ a lil’ backwards from tha previous review, but I gon review it now: Golden Music Group’s D. Jackson Cake Life! Start Time: 11:33 AM | End Time: 11:57 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 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! After I was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

01. “I’m Ready”

I have a feelin’ some repeat songs are gonna be on here, but whether or not I should’ve reviewed tha other CD first, I already reviewed it today, so I gon post my regular ratings: My Current Rating: 3.9

02. “Get Paper”

LOL! My Current Rating: 4.3

03. “Do Me Like Me”

Dammit, lol! My Current Rating: 3.7

04. “Can’t Pass Me Up” Feat. A.R.

*In a farting perspective* Ahh… >>> A Vybe beat for you, Jackson? Doesn’t really make sense, but this doesn’t sound bad ta rap on… Tha rappin’ ain’t bad, here; I like tha hook, although there’s some mainstream-soundin’ shit durin’ your verse… Let’s hear what A.R. has ta say… Sounds catchy; nice lil’ voice fa dis shit… Tha 3^rd verse ain’t as mainstream as tha 1^st verse fa me, so I can deal wit it… My Rating: 3.4

05. “Came Up” Feat. DatBoyDevin

His name’s all not-spaced like dat? >>> Not bad for a start; tha beat’s a lil’ interestin’… Let’s hear what this featured dude sounds like… Ehh, only decent for me. My Rating: 3.0

06. “Mill Ticket” Feat. SP & DatBoyDevin

>>> A lil’ too long for me to keep my interest… To me, this just anotha hustlin’-type song, like tha otha 1,000,000 of ‘em out there… My Rating: 2.3

07. “On My Grizzy”

>>> Sounds like some Soulja Boy/V.I.C.-type lyrics on tha hook, here, wit tha simple shit… Tha beat’s a lil’ cool, though simple, too… Wow @ tha first 53 seconds wit just tha title… Not really into tha beginning of tha 1^st verse; sounds like you listen to way too much Kevin Gates! My Rating: 2.6

08. “Cake Life”

La-la-la-la-la… My Current Rating: 1.5

09. “Be Without You”

>>> Nice to hear an Aaliyah sample, but “Ice Cream Paint Job” producer on tha beat? Where are you? Either way, this ain’t nothin’ special for me… Sounds like anotha mixtape song wit it just bein’ okay/below-average. My Rating: 2.4

½time: So far, three stars iz what I rate this CD; seems like there’s not much to offer, here. I see how you didn’t produce all tha songs; no wonder why tha Temptations CD’s betta…

10. “Get It Today”

>>> A lil’ non-Southern for me wit tha beat you’re rappin’ on… It’s a lil’ on a laidback tip, but too boring for me when it comes to a producer I think has talent! My Rating: 2.2

11. “Alotta Respect” Feat. A.R.
Usually, “a lot” iz two words, but I’ll let tha compound wordness slide, here… >>> Okay, finally, one of your beats and it sounds nice! Now, this iz what I’m talkin’ about wit tha beats!! Also, nice job wit tha hook; drillin’ tha title in err-body’s asses!! I’m also feelin’ how you’re comin’ through on tha 1^st verse; nice rhymes and how you’re comin’ through on here! A-Dot-R-Dot’s on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some nice shit; can’t deny this… And, you on tha 3^rd verse sounds catchy; I can hear tha entertainment in your voice wit tha “boy” parts. It sounds like you’re actually enjoyin’ tha song! My Rating: 4.3

12. “Grown Man” Feat. Lit Sig

>>> Okay, now, we’re back to tha okay/below-average shit. Tha beat ain’t really nothin’ for me, but some of tha rhymes you’re comin’ through wit are entertainin’, tha way you deliver ‘em… Nothin’ really goin’ on wit tha hook, either, especially wit there bein’ a sample on it, too. Let’s see what this Lit Sig dude ‘bout on tha 2^nd verse… Once he said, “swag,” I feel like I can just cut tha verse; I know it’s on tha below-average level for me… My Rating: 2.6

13. “Shake Something”

>>> Nice beginning; finally, it sounds a lil’ different than usual tracks! Likin’ tha beat, and tha okay lyrics ain’t too bad for this track, either… Almost sounded like St. Louis/Nelly wit tha “rre”-soundin’ words durin’ tha 2^nd verse! My Rating: 4.0

14. “Drop It Low” Feat. A.R. & PAP

>>> Nice beginnin’ from A.R. on tha 1^st verse; feelin’ his consistency! Nice beat, includin’ a nice “ass” song! I might like this betta than tha previous song; keep this consistency up!! “Callin’ all ass to tha flo!” Tha 2^nd verse sounds like tha PAP dude, since I don’t recognize tha voice… Nothin’ wack, here, and it’s on-topic, so I can feel it…, a lil’… And, as far as tha 3^rd verse, it ain’t bad; we’ll consider you on a decent level, D… My Rating: 4.1

15. “Feel You”

>>> Yes, tha consistency continues wit this fast vibe!! A lil’ boring aside from tha beat, but it ain’t that bad for me… Still, why 4:47 on tha length? Not every song has to be long and not every CD has ta be 80 minutes long! Too long to keep my interest… Tha rhymes are really on an okay/somewhat-wack-for-others level, but I ain’t trippin’ too much on it… My Rating: 3.2

16. “Bubbling”

LOL! My Current Rating: 3.8

17. “We On”

L-to-tha-O-to-tha-L-to-tha-! My Current Rating: 2.8

18. “We Gone Be Alright”

Final song… >>> Just like tha title says, this iz “alright” for me; nothin’ special. It ain’t bad for an ending song… My Rating: 2.9

Overall: Wit all tha repeat songs, I thought I was definitely gon see tha Kevin Gates feature; good thing it ain’t here, lol! Turns out tha Temptations CD was better. Either way, like I said tha last time, take away tha mainstream topics, and focus on tha undaground of Louisiana! Do you live tha same life as others, or do you live a different life?

Review #1,288: D. Jackson "Temptations"

Reviewed on 5.29.2013 (Review #1,288)

Got anotha review, here. This one iz Golden Music Group’s D. Jackson Temptations! I have to say, as much as I wanted to get this review done with last night, I’m glad I waited ‘til today ‘cause today actually marks three years since I had my first (and currently, only) phone call wit D. Jackson, back on May 29, 2010. I knew I remembered somethin’ wit you and dat date, so I had to check, which I was correct! So, it’s only right dat I get into this now! Start Time: 10:51 AM | End Time: 11:16 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!

Link To CD: http://www.datpiff.com/D-Jackson-Temptations-mixtape.484439.html

01. “Intro To Temptations”

>>> You on tha intro… Also, rappin’ involved? Didn’t know you rapped, but here’s a lil’ somethin’… Nice lil’ rhymes, but betta beat! Some of it sounds a lil’ mainstream, but it’s listenable… I even can deal wit tha singin’, too! My Rating: 4.3

02. “I’m Ready”

Not sure who tha artists are (unless, it’s all you?), but here goes nothin’… >>> Sound a lil’ like A.R., only wit a different voice, hence you guys bein’, like, tha same age. This ain’t bad, and it’s listenable, but The Diplomats/Cam’ron and them did it betta wit this sample over 10 years ago! Tha rhymes are good, too; nice lil’ song, overall! My Rating: 3.9

03. “Conquer”

>>> Nice beginning, and it transitioned into a nice beat! A lil’ Chief Keef-soundin’ wit tha voice (e.g., tha “uh”-soundin’ words), but it ain’t bad for this underground, Baton Rouge sound… Almost sounds like a different dude on tha 2^nd verse; hope you don’t have unsourced people ‘cause dat wouldn’t be fair! My Rating: 4.0

04. “My City” Feat. Kevin Gates & A.R.
Speakin’ of tha ’10, here’s one from dat year! My Current Rating: 4.6

05. “Temptations”

A title track… >>> Ehh, a lil’ mainstream wit tha way you’re deliverin’ tha words. I wouldn’t pay attention to this if I had no clue who it was ‘cause of its mainstream sound, so I’ll pass on this one. For your perspective on tha track, it ain’t bad… My Rating: 2.9

06. “Get Paper”

>>> I like tha vibe on tha beat, here; sounds like anotha version of “Wanna Bite Chu”—thought I’d see dat on here? Maybe, it’s on tha previous CD? Jammin’ delivery on this beat, too; feelin’ what you’re spittin’! Tha hook ain’t bad, though I hate money songs, these dayz, after I got robbed by a BR dude! My Rating: 4.3

07. “I’m Bubbling”

>>> A lil’ slower than tha previous track’s beat, but it sounds good wit your delivery, once again; catchy lyrics and sound, once again! Tha hook’s a lil’ catchy; not bad for a track, overall… Seems like a lil’ long for a song wit no features, but whateva… My Rating: 3.8

08. “Believe Dat”

Accordin’ to tha back cover, this one’s not produced by you. >>> A lil’ catchy. Reminds me of Young Ca$h’s 2006 single of tha same name. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and although some of this iz entertainin’, it sounds a lot like a Lil’ Wayne-rapped verse that would be considered ‘today’s generation wack.’ My Rating: 3.5

½time: So far, it seems like this iz a nice CD of yours; I thought it was a compilation, but it’s mainly you and your beats. For tha CD rating currently, it’s at a 3.9; not bad – that’s good!

09. “Again & Again”

>>> Tha beat’s decent, and tha song’s okay; tha hook’s a lil’ catchy, too. I’m feelin’ your “weed” and “smoke in tha air” parts… My Rating: 3.4

10. “BooKoo Money”

LOL @ tha spellin’ of “buku;” I’ve always felt that that was tha non-Louisiana spellin’ of it. I remember when Yung Joc tried to jack “buku” and turn it into “BooKoo,” smh! >>> Wow, I forgot there was “money” in tha title ‘cause I was payin’ attention to tha stupid “BooKoo.” As much as this iz long, this iz so not for me wit this hook! This iz an example of why tha mainstream rap scene’s so fucked up! My Rating: 1.6

11. “Like Me”

>>> Beat sounds nice, here; almost sounds like A.R. in tha beginning? I swear, sometimes, tha both of y’all have a similar sound, in wayz. Rhymes ain’t bad, either… My Rating: 3.7

12. “Cake Life”

I just found an older CD of yours on your DatPiff profile wit this title in it. I was gonna review dat one first, but I’ll do this CD first. I’m sure this song’s also on there, but lemme get my first listen at it now… >>> Why are tha money songs so long? They should be no more than 3:00 in length—or wait, no money songs at all! Should just be secretly thrown into a rhyme, like masturbation or somethin’! Anyway, this sounds too boring for me, between tha dry beat and rhymes… My Rating: 1.5

13. “Day & Night” Feat. A.R.

Problem Child Entertainment! >>> Sounds like an okay/above-average song, so far, as far as tha hook… I hear A.R. on tha 1^st verse and good thing he’s listed ‘cause I would’ve been afraid it was Lil’ Mista or someone’s overrated-ass on tha track. Then again, A.R. doesn’t have all that cocky shit dat Mista spits, so it levels out to some listenable shit without feelin’ shitty about yourself, for not meeting Mista’s standards. And A.R., you have some catchy rhymes, here; nice and consistent! Here you are on tha 2^nd verse, D, and wow, “licking me while I roll up tha weed”? Interestin’, especially bein’ your age and someone “licking” on you. I have yet to experience dat! I liked A.R.’s verse betta than yours, but it ain’t that bad of a song, overall; a lil’ mainstream wit some of tha rhymes, though… My Rating: 3.6

14. “On My Shit”
>>> An okay vibe, but way too mainstream wit tha lyrics for me. What will tha world be like without “money” and “bitches”? Tha answer: Some of tha shit I rap about, such as my great-grandma’s house gettin’ off tha land! Check out tha link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n9fKgBFr_g My Rating: 2.4

15. “Leaking”

>>> Feelin’ tha beat start; let’s see how it progresses, and I hope it doesn’t lose its vibe wit dumb mainstream lyrics… Tha hook sounds a lil’ catchy… Hearin’ some “female” rhymes, here, and it sounds like a single or somethin’. That beat’s real catchy wit tha sounds; it’s almost like you can’t get away from it! My Rating: 3.7

16. “They Lovin’ It”

Anotha track that’s not produced by you… >>> Doesn’t sound like you “on some other shit,” here; to me, it sounds like every other mainstream rapper… My Rating: 2.6

17. “We On”

>>> Decent for an ending song; doesn’t do anything for me, though. Why “mixtape”? This sounds like an album!! It’s not mixed and doesn’t have a host! I consider it an album!! My Rating: 2.8

Overall: Started off real nice, but started gettin’ watered-down toward tha 2^nd ½ wit all dat mainstream-soundin’ shit. Keep up tha producin’ thang; you ain’t that bad of a rapper, overall! All you have to do iz get rid of tha mainstream topics, and you’ll be aight!

01. “Check My Résumé”

Tha producer listed iz Baby G Money Baby Beats; iz that an online beat or somethin’? Either way, I’m anticipatin’ this beginning track!! >>> Yea, it iz an online one… Nice intro from tha Big Stacks dude in tha beginning… Sounds real nice wit how you’re comin’ through wit tha rappin’ on tha 1^st verse!! Speakin’ of bein’ in grade school, today’s 10 years since I started rappin’!! Wrote it ‘bout a chick who wound up bein’ born on tha same exact day/year as me! Feelin’ tha hook; your “résumé” iz off tha hook, too, and you’re always interestin’, ya heard me?! “At tha age of 27;” oh, so it’s pre-“Gangnam Style” (lol, your birthday, when I first heard/downloaded that song), a.k.a., before September 13, 2012, wit this song? Either way, it cool ‘cause you a dog goin’ vicious, off tha chain!!! For an online beat, I have to say, I luv this!! How can you deny this shit?! My Rating: 4.7

02. “Retarded” Feat. Max Minelli

Oh, so this iz featuring Max Minelli, I see? Interestin’!! Since I already heard it (you can see tha full review for just your parts on Solo Mafia’s Mobb Ties review I just did, earlier today), I gon review Max’s part and apply it to tha review/rating: >>> Real nice from him, though “eight stacks” to perform? That’s a lotta cash; I can’t imagine me bein’ worth that… I wonder what he does to catch peoples’ attentions? Either way, nice that he on this! My Rating: 4.7

03. “Polo Everythang”

LOL! My Current Rating: 4.9

04. “Bet Dat” Feat. Savage Trackz

LOL @ Sav labeled as “Savage Trackz”! I’m really lookin’ forward to anotha Savage collaboration—a first for a rappin’ collab, I see!! >>> Feelin’ tha Savage beat start, as well as you startin’ off wit tha hook!! Boy, dis shit tight as fuck, like tha otha songs!! Some of tha sounds sound like Savage’s production of Young Ready’s “Gettin’ Dough”, as well as havin’ a hyped-up sound; nice, for tha 2012/2013 vibe! Ooh, Savage on tha actual hook—your part was just startin’ tha song off! Nice job, Savage (Trackz), lol! Here he iz on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit mo shit ta offer fa tha streetz! He a king, so it’s always great ta have somethin’ of him on your shit! Ooh, you’re on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit some consistency; hope you neva become silenced!! Ooh, “loratabs, xanabarz;” shit yeah!!! My Rating: 4.6

05. “Like A Jungle”

Mod Productions doin’ tha beat; really likin’ this title, so I know I gon luv it!!! >>> Ooh, tha beat start definitely has me locked in, right about now!!! Oh, here we are wit tha “The Message”-kinda beginning of tha hook, but as other times I’ve heard it, I love this one just as much!! Glad there’s a Louisiana version, lol! I’m definitely feelin’ what you’re bringin’ on tha 1^st verse; how can you fail?! Neva will you fail!!! Yes, like tha 2^nd verse says, you really are “tha [one] Polo king!!” My Rating: 4.7

06. “My Trust Fucked Up” Feat. Young Ready

This was my highest-rated song on tha original Tha Traymond Jones Story, but I think “Polo Everythang” deserves it, now! My Current Rating: 4.8

07. “Bullshyt”

Mod doin’ tha beat, here; I like how tha title has a “Y” in it! >>> Catchy hook; too bad “everytime, [you] make a turn, somebody ‘bout dat bullshyt!” I feel like dat wit me, too! People just can’t handle my consistency, as well as me growin’ up!! Here’s tha 1^st verse, comin’ through as tha #1 dad! However, until I’m a dad, I don’t consider Father’s Day a special day, lol; just another day for me… You know how it iz when your parents divorce! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, and that sux ass dat someone’ll take “two grand” just to “kill someone;” wtf iz “two grand”? Dat nothin’!! My Rating: 4.6

08. “All The Way Up (Remix)” Feat. Lil’ G

Let’s hear tha remix, although we’re minusing tha Lil’ Ernest, lol… >>> Sounds like tha orig—oh, I hear tha “still” on tha hook; interestin’, although it sounds like a clean version to me, lol! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and it sounds like you’ve progressed. One thang I really liked about tha original version was how you said, “Somebody woman;” dat line, and how you delivered it, was real nice!! Hearin’ Lil’ G on tha 2^nd verse, and it sounds good, too; just as good as tha original! This iz a first, for me: Usually, remixes have at least one more name and a different beat. It could be tha same beat with a new feature, too. However, wit this, it’s tha same beat, and a feature’s subtracted, but new verses are from you & G… My Rating: 4.6

½time: Sounds like a real nice CD; 4.7 for tha CD rating, currently?! You know you’re, like, on A+ status standards now, Bubba!!!!!

09. “I’m Yo Pusha”

EQ Tha Misfit comin’ through wit a beat, here, again; looks like a Clipse perspective wit this title, and I’m lookin’ forward! >>> A :45 nice, long intro wit this “I’m yo pusha” lil’ hook; interestin’… Here you are on tha 1^st verse, and your flow/voice iz soooooo catchy!!! Glad you’re back, keepin’ tha lyrics and shit so entertainin’!! Sounds like a short song, but there’s a 2^nd verse, and you sound nice wit all these hi-hats in tha background! LOL, gotta luv your real-life rhymes wit such entertainment!!! My Rating: 4.5

10. “You Ain’t Talking 2 Me”

Anotha EQ beat; let’s see what you got hollain’ on this one… >>> An okay intro; sounds like you now really attach yourself to EQ, which I guess iz a good thing ‘cause of these good beats. I know I’ll neva be dat to most people in tha music biz; I gotta come up wit valuable ideas! As far as this song, it’s an interestin’ song about doin’ nothin’ fa “free!” Good shit on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit how you’re affectin’ so many…, which wasn’t “for free!” Keepin’ shit goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, too; you’re right: This iz “official!!” I definitely think it iz; keep up tha great work!! My Rating: 4.4

11. “Characters” Feat. Dino Danja & 31^stDeedy

Likin’ tha title, and anotha EQ beat! >>> Interestin’ beat start that’s slowly progressin’ nicely!! Tha hook sounds nice; really feelin’ how you’re tacklin’ tha “characters” topic! Here’s Dino on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit his nice, everyday-livin’ “mission!” Here you are on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some fast rappin’; I’m actually feelin’ it, though I’ve been tired of people bustin’ tha fast rappin’, lately! “Don’t nobody take me serious;” really? I take you nice and serious!! Hopefully, if you got some bread for me, I can do some real nice things for this CD of yours, such as a commercial and more! Think, Bubba, think!! Here’s Deedy on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit this “___-ass nigga” shit, which sounds catchy… Good song, overall; very catchy topic!! My Rating: 4.6

12. “I Still Love You” Feat. Tawanna Louis

Now, a Lil’ G beat; I have a feelin’ this gon be laidback or somethin’… >>> G, you gotta get rid of tha beat tag; not too into beat tags, especially if they’re long!! As far as tha start of this, it ain’t that laidback. Tha female sounds nice on tha hook; almost sounds like a 2002 underground song I heard on tha college radio, up here in Northeast PA. To go wit tha catchy sounding, here’s tha 1^st verse: You, comin’ through wit some nice sex shit, lol! LOL @ “if I was sober, I’d prolly be facing jail time” line; very anti-Bubba to be “sober!” …………………Anti-Bubba, ya heard me, lol?!? Tha 2^nd verse from you sounds nice, here; keep it goin’ for tha bitches! “Relationships, I just can’t handle ‘em;” glad I’ve neva had one, yet! I’m nice and patient, focusin’ on my career, at tha moment! I sacrificed turnin’ people on back in high school, and had $300.00+ worth of change/dollars either thrown at me, or I found! Talk about early hustlin’!! My Rating: 4.3

13. “Momma Always Told Me (Remix)” Feat. Dat Boy A & 38 Slimm

Now, a remix? Original version from tha previous CD was produced by Mod Productions and now, this iz produced by EQ… >>> Oh, it’s no EQ; it’s back to Mod Productions and tha original sound… Lemme get to tha 38 $limm verse… Sounds nice; I think I feel betta wit this song, now! My Rating: 4.3

14. “Father Forgive Me”

Looks like an ending song; Mod Productions on tha beat. >>> Wow, it’s not a soft start wit tha beat, despite this title!! No less, goin’ from a “Momma” title to a “Father” title; what are tha odds of dat?! Sounds like a catchy hook from you; definitely “forgive” Mr. Bubba, here!! Likin’ tha real, gangsta-soundin’, everyday-soundin’ shit on tha 1^st verse; always keep shit pumpin’, Bubb!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too; please, don’t stop rappin’!! Always keep tha hot shit comin’ along, especially wit neva havin’ a soft, or under-4.0-rated song!!! My Rating: 4.3

15. “Feeling Good Tonight” Feat. Lil’ G & Q-Red

My Current Rating: 4.6

16. “I’ma Problem”
! My Current Rating: 4.4

17. “All The Way Up” Feat. Lil’ Ernest & Lil’ G

LOL @ goin’ from remix to original! My Current Rating: 4.7

Overall: Anotha classic from dat boy Traymond Jones, a.k.a. Bubba!!! Definitely feelin’ tha new ones, and tha old classics definitely make a nice combination for this Reloaded edition!! Keep up tha good work and yes, it was good bein’ you for Halloween for a few minutes (along with a few others), back last year!

Review #1,286: Savage "Guts, Grind & Glory"

Reviewed on 5.28.2013 (Review #1,286)

Got tha Solo Mafia Enterprises reviewz continuin’!! This next one, only two months old, iz Savage Guts, Grind & Glory!! I’m anticipatin’ these country rap tunez, so before Aaliyah’s Behind The Music takes my attention away, I finna get into this review right now! Start Time: 6:27 PM | End Time: 7:24 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! After I was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

01. “GGG Intro”

Not only iz it tha name of tha CD, but that’s really what you are, Sav! Not just a “G,” but a TRIPLE “G!!!” >>> What a nice beat in tha background from you!! Yea, like you said, they think “you quit or somethin’;” I bet people ta say dat to me! It’s like, we’re doin’ bigger projects! Sometimes, it’s more about tha video countdown that’s two hours long than buku commercials; that’s how I feel ‘bout myself! Ooh, rappin’, too! “Focus like a telescope;” always wit me, Sav! Got my focus on your music and showin’ you luv!! Nice closing to tha 1^st verse: “And, this iz how I welcome you to Guts, Grind & Glory!!” Even sounds tight for a hook!!! My Rating: 4.6

02. “Do It For The Money”

I’m slowly becomin’ like this, mainly to those that don’t know all my talents and are younger than me! >>> Nice lil’ song, includin’ tha hook and great beat of yours!! “Diagnosed me an insomniac;” what a nice line fa your hustlin’, Sav!! Can’t deny it, and I luv your rhymes!! You always got shit on lock, strictly makin’ a feel-good track fa err-body, here!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice; keep grindin’, ignorin’ most of those that are younger than you—well, unless it ‘bout “tha money!” Nice lil’ bridge from tha unlisted singer! “I hate this job,” but he luvs that “check;” to me, I feel like it’s like dat when tryna book people for my Tha Louisiana Archives mixtape compilation. Like, do I have to spend hours promotin’ myself, only makin’ $20 off each person that submits a song? Totally doesn’t seem worth it… Nice lil’ extra part from you toward tha end, too! My Rating: 4.4

03. “Get Loose” Feat. Lil’ Mista & Level

Forgot you had “Get Loose Wit It” back five years ago, already! Let’s see what dis one gon sound like… >>> I like tha “get loose” part in tha beginning; sounds nice!! Tha hook sounds pretty nice; definitely some nice shit! You even can have some auto-tune slide in there, and it doesn’t sound pathetic! Oh, Mista sneakin’ in on tha 1^st verse; random, since he ain’t sourced on tha ID… Him and his automatic long dick, I-have-everything-in-tha-world-type rhymes… Usually, I don’t go for it, but because it’s your song, this iz acceptable… You’re on tha 2^nd verse, and even though your voice iz a lil’ altered, at times, but I can deal wit it; nice job! Oh, Level snuck into tha 3^rd verse, too; I should’ve known by tha background, “yeah,” vocals in tha hook! Well, though I’m not in tha mood, tha verse came at me, head on, and it sounds good. Too bad I’m not important to him at all, as other calls/texts are more important to him. Also, I thought he was gonna jack his verse on Jiggaman’s “Get Loose” song from last year, onto here. Either way, that collab was better, but this was still nice! My Rating: 4.4

04. “Gotta Stay Strapped”

I can’t imagine runnin’ into someone who’s “strapped,” when I visit Louisiana. Personally, I think it sounds too obsessive; it’s almost like you’re locked into drama on purpose, but that’s just me. >>> Tha beat sounds nice, here; dat country rap tunez style! Tha rhymes on tha 1^st verse sound good; as you’re gettin’ older, you still gotta “stay strapped!” Tha hook sounds nice, too; I dunno who tha dude on tha 2^nd ½ of tha hook iz, but they sound good mixin’ wit you… Here you are on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit no vitality, if you’re not “strapped!” Here’s tha 3^rd verse, and you sound good wit expressin’ how peeps be wantin’ everything of yours for free. I hate those money virgins, Sav!! My Rating: 4.3

05. “Backwards-Ass World”

Interestin’ title; I think you tellin’ tha truth wit this title, too! To me, it’s more like a “backwards-ass” schedule people have, how they’re so “busy,” smh! >>> Much more laidback, here, on tha beat… Hearin’ you spit on tha 1^st verse, and it sounds nice; sounds like it would go toward tha end of tha CD… Feelin’ tha hook wit your real lyrics. As much as tha “cheaters always win,” in 2011, surprisingly, one rapper that was “too busy” to do business wit me died in a car accident. I was like, “Wow, since when does tha hater die?” Tha 2^nd verse iz nice, too; keep reppin’ for tha real!! Same thing wit tha 3^rd verse: You got shit on lock fa those peeps like me, and I really appreciate it! My Rating: 4.0

06. “Dope Mane”

Let’s hear what dis be ‘bout… >>> Sounds like Ready in tha beginning, but it’s you; nice lil’ Southern beat from you, once again! Really likin’ tha 1^st verse wit how you comin’ through wit your drug-related lyrics; always interestin’ ta hear about your life in tha past! Can’t believe my former drug-dealin’ cousin gon only be 21 tomorrow! Five years ago was when he first got snitched on, which sucked. It’s always somethin’ special to have a drug-dealin’ family member at a young age in your family… Tha hook sounds real catchy wit how you made your voice sound, on here; nice and smooth wit these drugs, lol!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too, as you keepin’ this “dope” dope shit continuin’!! Ooh, even tha 3^rd verse, too; very focused, Savage!! I like your “paranoia” part, too; hate to see you eva get arrested, Sav!! No, no, no!!! My Rating: 4.7

07. “The Other Side”
>>> A lil’ funny wit tha voice, here… Okay, tha rhymes are soundin’ interestin’ on tha 1^st verse, here, as well as your beat… Tha hook sounds nice; it’s all about that mysterious “other side!” Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too; glad you keepin’ tha real shit comin’ along, like a king supposed to! Honestly, that’s what I consider you as: a king! Just look at yourself, Sav; take a good look at yourself! My Rating: 3.9

½time: So far, a nice, consistent CD!! Keep these country rap tunez comin’ along fa tha people, Sav!! A 4.3-rated CD, currently!!!

08. “Penitentiary Chances”

Looks like a nice title; lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this!! >>> Nice, smooth lil’ country rap-soundin’ beat, and tha hook sounds nice wit this topic of tha “penitentiary!” Great job rappin’ tha “penitentiary” future/perspective in tha 1^st verse; good job, Sav! You keepin’ tha 2^nd verse comin’ along fa your “daughter” and it sounds nice; you gon need a son soon! A Lil’ Sav Sinatra! Oh no, it’s 7:00; Behind The Music Remastered: Aaliyah iz on! Oh, I think it’s tha saddest death I’ve been around durin’ my time in tha music biz! But anyway, wit tha rest of tha song, you did a nice job keepin’ this shit on-n-poppin’! My Rating: 4.2

09. “I’m So Thoed”

LOL @ tha title; let’s hear this! >>> Sounds like a featured singer on tha hook; catchy shit, includin’ tha nice beat, once again! Tha 1^st verse iz you, and you tryna chill/go on wit life, but you’re “so thoed,” lol! A nice lil’ fucked-up song, lol! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice wit how you comin’ through, feelin’ “like a football,” lol! Oh, here’s that singer (or rapper?) on tha 3^rd verse; they have a good, country-rap feel fa this track, right here! Nice “thoed” endin’ from you, Sav, lol! My Rating: 4.4

10. “Only You”

! >>> A female singer on tha hook; sounds like someone sexy… Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit a laidback vibe, here. Sounds like you’re always open for sex, like a Wal-Mart or somethin’, lol! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too; no matta if it’s a “gangsta in a shoot out” or this big sex scene, your combination of rhymes seem to always make tha track sound nice! Oh, a 3^rd verse fit in here…; sounds good, too; how can someone like you not “murder” a “pussy”? My Rating: 4.1

11. “All Wrong”

Time ta hear it! >>> LOL @ tha start; dat “dick” seems ta get in err-body’s way, huh, lol? Uh oh, sounds like an erected-Savage on tha hook ‘cause of tha a-tune; not bad wit how it sounds, and I can fuck wit what you talkin’ ‘bout, here. LOL, how can anyone deny you, Sav? Not exactly sure who’s on tha 2^nd verse, but since they said they’re tha “Problem Child,” I assumed it was A.R., at first. However, I don’t think I exactly know who this iz… They sounded like havin’ sex iz easy, as usual; anotha person that doesn’t struggle wit communicating… LOL @ tha “stay in my ear like earphones” line; talk about how hooked this bitch iz! LOL @ tha cold ending… My Rating: 4.0

12. “Dis Ain’t Wassup”

Anotha female-related song? Lemme hear… >>> Oh, get your head wrap on ‘cause it’s Erykah Badu and her “Didn’t Ya Know” beat! Goin’ back to my old cassette tapes, huh, Sav? That’s exactly what I was doin’ when you dropped this CD two months ago! Nice rhymes fa this shit; different twist and it’s not like it’s a typical, cheesy jacked beat! You even threw in her pre-chorus part; nice! You sound good tryna communicate wit an imaginary-Badu, lol! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too; keep tha rhymes goin’ on this smooth beat! Tha 3^rd verse iz here, and you keepin’ “dis” goin’, whether it’s “wassup” or not for peeps, male or female! Nice job wit tha hook, too; gotta get outta those not “wassup” areas! My Rating: 4.3

13. “Devil In My Eyez”

Nice title, especially wit tha “Z”! >>> Nice beat; rhymes sound good on tha 1^st verse, here… Tha hook ain’t bad, either; some of tha others were catchier, but this still nice ta flow wit tha track… Got tha 2^nd verse here, and you keepin’ tha streetz full wit tha ugly “devil,” and how it can fuck you up. Here’s tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through like a real dude! Glad you still alive fa your age; keep bein’ active and always stay alive!! My Rating: 3.8

14. “Amazin’ Grace (Tribute)”

This looks like tha kinda ending title; let’s hear it… >>> Okay, I was right; sounds like a betta beat, and tha intro sounds nice… Your voice sounds a lil’ different, like more grown… Tha hook sounds pretty good; I like tha “my nigga” parts. I hope peeps like DJ B-Real have some sorta big tribute to me when I’m gone, as well as a lil’ somethin’ from you, too! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too; yea, it sux to lose peeps! As much as you feel like it’s hard to move on, I have to say, I’m almost 25, and I’ve neva had a friend die, that I knew in person; not bad for 25! Here you are on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit more memories… You can only imagine what kinda memorabilia I’ve talked to in Louisiana! I don’t have many of you, due to I only talked to you on tha phone a few times, but I think I have memories of most peeps from Louisiana! My Rating: 3.8

Overall: Definitely feelin’ it; sounded like a lotta tracks fit together with each other, but I’m glad you’re always a king! I may’ve liked tha Solo Mafia CD betta, but your quality iz always there!! I’m glad I did all three reviewz for you today; keep up tha great work!!
