Review #1,300: Percy Keith "Compliments Of Luca Brasi (Hosted by DJ Ya Boy Earl)"

Reviewed on 7.04.2013 (Review #1,300)

Up next, Bread Winners Association’s Percy Keith Compliments Of Luca Brasi (Hosted by DJ Ya Boy Earl)… I’m walkin’ into unknown territory, here, so I dunno what to expect. Start Time: 9:35 PM | End Time: 10:19 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. “Intro”

Produced by EQ. >>> Nice intro from DJ Ya Boy Earl… He wasn’t listed as a host, but I gon put that he’s hosting this CD… Anyway, this sounds good, but you sound too much like Kevin Gates. Finally, no beat tag in an EQ beat; that’s tha way it should be, with tha back cover sayin’ who produced it! Also, gotta mention that tha beat sounds nice and interestin’… Anotha good part from Earl, outta nowhere; great voice ta host/DJ… Here you are on tha 2^nd verse, still wit a Kevin Gates sound, but I like tha paranoid/intensity in your voice! Yes, an outro to Earl. SMH @ “mixtape;” when will people put albums out?! My Rating: 4.2

02. “Deep Cover”

Dr. Dre production? You mean, jacked beat? >>> Yea, no need for tha producer listed, here! Earl on tha intro again; gotta luv him! Sounds a lil’ different wit tha voice, at times, but you still got some Gates in you… Rhymes are nice, but because of Gates, I’m not diggin’ this random fast-rappin’ shit, outta nowhere… Despite not likin’ all tha fast deliveries, I’ll give this a better rating ‘cause of how good tha rhymes were. My Rating: 4.3

03. “Soldier Hatin’” Feat. Flow & Christian Radke

EQ beat, again. SMH, why does tha ID on tha mp3 say, “YMCMB”? Now, I could prolly care less about this! >>> Why tha beat tag, this time? This beat doesn’t sound Louisiana at all, smh… Tha 1^st verse sounds very mainstream wit this beat; no interest… Uh, after tha gay-soundin’ vocals on tha hook, I just am skippin’ this! Got no time! I’d rather masturbate! My Rating: 1.0

04. “I’m Nasty”
Boo on tha production; looks anticipatin’… >>> Nice and creepy sound wit this beat; interestin’ production! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and tha rhymes are just okay… Tha hook sounds catchy; I can hear your Kevin Gates influence (or dickriding) in it, but I like it. Tha 2^nd verse also sounds okay, fa me… Despite some of my negative feedback, I’m feelin’ this one a lot… My Rating: 4.4

05. “Clutchin’” Feat. Blvd Mel & Banger

A Turn Up beat; not sure who that iz… >>> Nice intro from Earl! However, tha beat sounds nothin’ like Louisiana, so it must be jacked or whateva… Tha hook sounds okay; let’s see how this continues… That was tha 1^st verse? Now, tha hook? Sounds betta wit tha “jungle.” Tha 2^nd verse must be you, with all these random references… Catchy; I can’t deny it… Tha 3^rd verse sounds nice, too… Outro from Earl! My Rating: 4.0

06. “The Business”

Heisman beat; nice connection… >>> Still, why tha beat tag, smh? Tha flow’s aight, but it’s soundin’ a lil’ mainstream, mixed wit other peoples’ sound. This beat ain’t too bad, but now that tha hook came on, it sounds real catchy… Nice and short, tha way you can provide, quickly! My Rating: 4.2

07. “Hoes”

No producer listed, so it must be jacked… >>> Ehh, “Girls, Girls, Girls,” smh… At least it’s short and not no five-minute shit that others provide… Nice hook wit tha “hoes, hoes, hoes,” instead of, “girls, girls, girls.” Nice X-rated shit, Kardashian style, lol. My Rating: 4.0

½time: Other than #3, this sounds like a catchy CD, and you sound like a real catchy artist… Because of #3, tha CD rating iz only at a 3.7, so far, but I’m likin’ it betta…

08. “Guns N Roses”

Guss beat. >>> Between tha okay beat, it sounds like a good lyrical start in tha life of Percy Keith! By being born in 1984, I hope you gon do good business wit me… Tha hook sounds catchy; good title… My Rating: 3.9

09. “Free Boosie” Feat. Donkey

EQ beat; ??? @ tha title… Donkey not listed on tha back cover… >>> What? A Lil’ Wayne sample and he cares about “Boosie”? No way!! Boosie a Louisiana artist; Wayne a poor example of reppin’ Louisiana!! “I’m on my feet, like a big toe;” ironic you said dat ‘cause I’m rubbin’ my “big toe” against one of my other toes ‘cause there’s skin around it (biting nails, get it?)… Hearin’ this Donkey dude on tha 2^nd verse, and it sounds nice and Louisiana… Despite a dude dying or not, I can’t imagine a dude crying ova anotha dude! I’ve neva cried over a death… Then again, 25 years in, and I’ve neva had a friend I’ve known in person die. My Rating: 3.8

10. “NY Here I Come”
Bet you won’t come ta Long Island! Boo beat… >>> Good start; doesn’t sound like Boo at all, on tha beat… But, it has an interestin’ sound to it… Hearin’ a lotta ‘90s “NY” rap quotes in tha 1^st verse, here… From Biggie, to Wu-Tang, to Digable Planets, to “ODB,” to “Roxanne,” to Big Pun, to Nas, to Public Enemy, to “Queen Latifah,” The Furious Five, and more! My Rating: 4.1

11. “9’s” Feat. JR

Guss beat. >>> Catchy beat; interestin’ hook wit tha “cleaned ova.” Oh, thank God, this iz a different JR on tha 1^st verse (“JR Johnson”)! I thought I had to skip tha verse, due to personal reasons! But, this JR dude sounds catchy; nice lil’ Louisiana sound in tha voice! Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse, and it’s soundin’ slightly-Gates-y… “Bitch, I’d rather masturbate;” lol, glad we’re on tha same level wit masturbating, lol! Tha JR dude’s back on tha 3^rd verse? Good sound, once again… My Rating: 4.1

12. “My Nigga” Feat. Money Boi

Red On The Track beat; looks like a whammy with tha feature, for me… >>> Beat doesn’t sound too Louisiana fa me… “Kevin ain’t gon change fa me;” why he ain’t on this CD? What’s up wit tha censored dude’s name on tha 2^nd verse? Kinda makes an imagination go wild… Either way, iz this tha Money Boi? Looks like it’s anotha win for me! I thought I had ta skip anotha verse, but it’s good… Either way, I don’t approve of anyone’s name with “money” in it! More Money on tha 3^rd verse? My Rating: 3.7

13. “Stories”

Decky Boy beat; 2011 beat? >>> Decky Boy? More like Rihanna “Unfaithful”? Odd that a dead rapper/producer would be mixed with “Unfaithful”… Anyway, despite tha jacked beat, this iz okay; not really for me, though. I like how you mentioned you bein’ born in “1984” on tha 2^nd verse, though. My Rating: 1.7

EDIT: I randomly was harassed by someone tryna steal Decky Boy's name. For those that don't know who tha real Decky Boy iz, it's this dude, who passed away two years ago:

14. “Let’s Fight” Feat. Wild Yella & Show

Not sure how good this gon be wit tha features and with no producer listed… >>> Nice intro from Ya Boy Earl, despite it bein’ a bonus track… Likin’ tha hook; sounds nice and hype… If only tha beat was a lil’ more hype, this would be real nice… Tha 1^st verse sounds good; Shreveport at its finest… Good job, Yella… Must be Show on tha 2^nd verse, here; good “fighting” perspective… Let’s get to tha 3^rd verse… You sound good; it’s an okay verse… My Rating: 3.9

Overall: I have to say, for hearin’ a whole CD of yours for tha first time, I thought it went over pretty well. There were two wack jointz, but other than that, this turned out to be good! CD rating’s average, due to those two wack jointz, but there’s plenty of good jointz on this mixtape!
