Review #1,336: 2 Slugz a.k.a. Slugz Lucas "No Handouts (Hosted by DJ Ya Boy Earl)"

Reviewed on 10.30.2013 (Review #1,336)

Time fa Boss Click Muzik ta stand up, here: 2 Slugz a.k.a. Slugz Lucas No Handouts (Hosted by DJ Ya Boy Earl) iz what I finna review! Start Time: 8:06 PM | End Time: 9:32 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. “No Handouts (Intro)”
LOL, my 1^st review:

>>> I really like how you sound in tha beginning, here; always C.A.F.—cool as fuck! Consistent rhymes!! Soundin’ cool throughout this whole intro; good shit! And, Earl on tha outro, here; gotta feel how anticipated he iz!! My Rating: 4.3

What wound up bein’ my 2^nd review (without realizing):

>>> Really likin’ how you comin’ through on tha intro, here; gotta feel it! Betta than tha Lil’ Snupe 16 & Runnin’ CD I previously reviewed; you got dat good vibe, here! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse (or, only verse, based off this length), and it sounds good… LOL, tha “Instagram flexin’” line again, from a previous song. Oh, I think this was tha “No Handout (Intro)”. LOL, forgot tha intro was incorrect… Oh wait, this iz tha intro… LOL, I wound up rating it tha same, twice; weird… My Rating: 4.3

02. “You Ain’t Gotta Lie”

>>> Ooh, this sounds catchy wit tha beat and how you deliver tha hook! This one that “You Ain’t Gotta Lie”; tight shit! Tha 1^st verse sounds good, here; you keepin’ tha sound up! Can’t deny Slugz! Always sounds like you’ve neva had a bad moment; you keep bein’ uplifted! Tha 2^nd verse sounds pretty good, too. Almost thought tha 1^st ½ of it sounds a lil’ off-beat, but I can’t front on listenin’ ta you right now, Slugz! My Rating: 4.4

03. “Cell Phone Ringin’” Feat. Zoom

Keep ‘em comin’! >>> Sounds like a “Welcome To Jamrock” sample in tha beginning; let’s see what this about… Earl obsessed wit swaggin’, here… Tha 1^st verse ain’t too bad, here… Okay, this tha “Cell Phone Ringin’” song, finally… Ooh @ Zoom on tha 2^nd verse; sounds like Juvie, and sounds like a great black dude! Like, when you see a black dude and they just proud of who they are? Well, that’s what he sounds like, and I’m definitely feelin’ what he bringin’ to tha table!! Shit-fuckin’-yeah!! My Rating: 4.4

04. “Insane”

B_Bangerz doin’ tha beat, here! >>> Good reppin’ in tha beginning, Earl! “Boss Click Muzik!” Here’s tha “Insane” song; lol, startin’ off wit tha 1^st verse wit tha title! Catchy, consistent rhymes on tha 1^st verse from you, Slugz! Good shit! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, here; straight “wiggin’, bruh,” lol! My Rating: 4.3

05. “Tomorrow” Feat. Young Racks

True dat! >>> Nice vibe, here; sounds like you’re focused!! LOL, this “Tomorrow”, wit some “alright, alright” shit in tha background, too! Catchy job; ironic dat Rocko’s “Tomorrow” came on Music Choice: Rap as a lil’ throwback today. Haven’t heard it in a while; can’t believe it’s five years old! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and we startin’ wit tha Young Racks dude! I luv tha peeps you be teamin’ up wit, Slugz; they official wit it! Gotta give it up ta this Racks dude, comin’ through nicely fa you! Now, here you are on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through nicely on tha 2^nd verse, too! “Bustin’ like piñataz!” My Rating: 4.3

06. “On That R. Kelly” Feat. Mac Soul

A bonus ta end, which iz not on tha back cover? Let’s see what we got, here… >>> Funny how Earl’s still in tha background. I neva thought that my weird-thinking mix-and-mastering that I do would be easier to hear… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and we got you, comin’ through wit an okay vibe. LOL, I’m not sure about this title. We’ll see what happens… Anyway, it’s you on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some good shit fa tha ladies, as you’re active on ‘em, lol! My Rating: 4.0

07. “Click Juice” Feat. Codakk Demond

LOL, I was just thinkin’ about “Juice”-titled songs, earlier today. I remember hangin’ wit my boy, Juice, from my 1^st college, and there bein’ “Juice”-titled songs out, back in’ 08 (Kane & Abel “Get Rite Juice” & Tyga “Coconut Juice”), lol! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this! >>> Hearin’ tha 1^st second, and it sounds like this tha “Click Juice”; let’s see… Yup; sounds like a good hook and all about gettin’ fucked up! Nice job wit tha 1^st verse, Slugz; good shit! Codakk sounds catchy on tha 2^nd verse; “listen very carefully” ‘cause he deliverin’ some great shit! “My secret weapon;” this dude’s official wit it, fa dat Boss Click! My Rating: 4.3

08. “Star”
B-to-tha-Bangerz! >>> This sounds catchy; I like how tha beat sounds, as well as how you sound on this, Slugz! Nice job wit tha 1^st verse… This one’s “Star”. LOL, thought it was gonna be tha bonus track… Damn, 37 seconds of silence at tha end? Not cool… My Rating: 4.2

09. “One Life To Live” Feat. Chop & Chess
>>> Sounds like a forgivin’ song… Sounds catchy, and it sounds familiar? LOL, I got tha right title here, based off of swapping (“One Life To Live”). Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and it’s you, comin’ through wit your “status up;” that’s what’s “up!” Really feelin’ tha hook, as I’m hearin’ it for tha 2^nd time! Gotta luv how you “put your heart and soul” inta it! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, and I dunno if I wanna say this, but they give me a Meek Mill feel—that sounds so 2008, when I say that name. Anyway, anotha good collab! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse from Chess here, and it sounds like it fits. And, an Earl check-in at tha end… My Rating: 4.3

½time: So far, off to a great start, just as I expected!! Slugz, you definitely holdin’ it down, and as much as I enjoy Earl, I have ta say, will he get outta tha background and come center? Either way, 4.3 for tha current CD rating!! Also, sometimes, during tha ½ point, I call folks, see if they’ll answer. Lemme see if you’ll answer, real quick… Of course, Slugz answered (forgot that I didn’t give him my new #)! 6:57! Also, got tha ‘Slugz hookup’ on thangz, so I got ta hear some interesting thangz! Glad we’ve been connected since Spring 2009!

10. “100 Roundz” Feat. Live Boy Scooter

Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this! I know you can last “100 roundz,” Slugz! >>> I like how Earl’s in tha intro, here, but he sounds way too far deep in tha background, lol? Anyway, title mix-up? Sounds like you’re sayin’, “100 Roundz,” a lot, here, which iz one of your titles…? Weird, but I’ll see what happens… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and it sounds good, just as catchy as tha hook. Tha 2^nd verse sounds good here, too; keep it comin’! Oh, here’s a feature: Okay, I guess this iz “100 Roundz” and not “You Ain’t Gotta Lie”. We got Live Boy Scooter on tha 3^rd verse, here, and he crazy wit it!! Gotta luv how he comin’ through wit it!! Fastness, hood shit; gotta luv it!! How many times I gon say it?! “Gotta luv it!!!” Good outro from Earl, too… My Rating: 4.4

11. “Jumpin’” Feat. Bigg Nick & J.Beezie

>>> If this tha right song, it sounds good for a start… Sounds like you enjoyin’ yaself on tha 1^st verse; can’t complain about it, Slugz! Fuck! Anotha error: Damn, this gon be a confusing-ass review! This #11: “Jumpin’” Feat. Bigg Nick & J.Beezie. I’m cutting/pasting tha original titles, and swappin’ ‘em, so I don’t get confused, later on… Anyway, that Bigg Nick dude on tha 2^nd verse serious wit it!! Definitely feelin’ how he comin’ through, and forcin’ tha haterz ta “eat” sum “dick” at tha end! That dude tha truth! Hope we connect real soon! Got Beezie on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit some nice shit, on a consistent level—damn @ tha fast rhymes on tha 4^th bar!! LOL @ tha ending from Earl, broadcastin’ from, like, a baseball field! My Rating: 4.4

12. “Freaky”

B-Bangerz! >>> Let’s see if this “Freaky”—oh, Earl said tha title in tha beginning. Here we go again wit tha title swap… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and it sounds great on this beat! Slugz, you know you tha truth if you “skeeted in her hair!!” Damn, Slugz!! I like how Earl appears in tha hooks, outta nowhere. LOL, he’s so buried in tha background!! Nice job wit tha 2^nd verse, too, Slugz! You wild wit it!! My Rating: 4.3

13. “Runnin’ Ya Trap”

>>> Sounds like you on some gangsta shit, here… Tha hook sounds nice; blends in nice from tha 1^st verse! Let’s keep it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here… Sounds good; sounds like it went by quickly… LOL, Earl on tha ending! My Rating: 4.2

14. “Free”
LOL. >>> Nice beginning, wit a really slow beat, lol! Sounds catchy wit tha 1^st verse, as your “dick” iz all ova these hoes, lol! Here’s “Free”, and what do ya know? Tha title on tha mp3 file iz correct! That’s a first fa this CD! Or, iz this “On That R. Kelly”, based off tha 2^nd verse? I dunno, but we’ll see wit tha next song. I think I got this right, though, since it’s only you on this joint… Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, too; can’t deny it! My Rating: 4.2

15. “Over Here” Feat. LEXCann

>>> Who’s “Alexis,” or what Earl said in tha beginning? Let’s see what gon happen… Sounds like a cool joint wit tha hook, here… Oh, this ain’t “Free”; this “Over Here”; really hoppin’ wit tha titles! Now, I see who tha featured person iz… She’s on tha 1^st verse, and she sounds good, fa a youngin. Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse, here, and it sounds nice. Glad you “loaded,” Slugz! Always gotta be “loaded;” it’s a great feelin’! Even got your “clothes soakin’ wet!” Sounds like you live a crazy/cool life; at least you ain’t gotta worry ‘bout no kids, unlike all these weirdos that have these crazy lives that I deal with! My Rating: 4.2

16. “Tear It Up” Feat. Drewsky

>>> This one iz “Tear It Up”… Not bad wit tha singin’ on tha hook, here! Here comes tha 1^st verse, and this Drewsky dude’s sexed-up, lol. Here you are on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some catchy shit; immediately wants her, lol! My Rating: 4.1

17. “All Week” Feat. Lil’ Cali

Yes, a Lil’ Cali feature! LOL, I had a dream last night, and Lil’ Cali was in it. We was in Wilkes-Barre (about 40 minutes from my house), in some meeting (forgot what it was about). And, in order to get to it, I think, you had to fall down a really deep hole, underground. We tried to get some selfies and then, we went to Wal-Mart. I was tryin’ to upload tha pics, but there was no wi-fi. LOL, shout out ta Cali! His birthday was ironically two months ago today! >>> Tha beat sounds nice, here; sounds like that 2006 – 2008-soundin’ jiggin’ music!! Oh shit, this tha Lil’ Cali feature!! Can’t wait ta continue hearin’ this!! Catchy 1^st verse, and tha hook’s catchy, too; you doin’ tha damn thang, Slugz!! Here’s Cali on tha 2^nd verse, and lol, I thought he was gon “get head,” but he “duckin’ tha feds.” :( Great joint right chea!! Cali did tha damn thang; keep grindin’!! My Rating: 4.5

18. “Not This Time” Feat. Leezy & B.D.B.

>>> I’m likin’ tha quiet intro a lot, here… Had no idea what this was gon be, but it’s “Not This Time”… Tha hook sounds good/catchy fa this beat. Tha 1^st verse sounds good, too, from you. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, and it sounds good, here… Not sure who on tha 2^nd verse outta tha features, but good shit… Sounds like a lil’ break before tha 3^rd verse? Now, tha 3^rd verse, and it’s not bad… Nice job wit tha outro, Earl; gotta put tha contact info out there! Can’t believe I’ve been in contact wit you fa almost a ½ decade, Slugz! My Rating: 4.1

19. “Burn One” (Codakk Demond Feat. Slugz Lucas, B.D.B. & Mac Soul)
Not included…? My Rating: N/A

Overall: Okay, I screwed up tha titles to #01 & #11; lemme go back and see what they iz… LOL, #01 & #13 are tha intro… Based off tha feature, #11 must be “On That R. Kelly”? One that’s not on here iz tha bonus track: “Burn One” (Codakk Demond Feat. Slugz Lucas, B.D.B. & Mac Soul). Also, this iz how I reviewed tha CD, which was tha order it was in on LiveMixtapes:

01. “No Handouts (Intro)”

02. “100 Roundz” Feat. Live Boy Scooter

03. “Jumpin’” Feat. Bigg Nick & J.Beezie

04. “Freaky”

05. “Runnin’ Ya Trap”

06. “Over Here” Feat. LEXCann

07. “Not This Time” Feat. Leezy & B.D.B.

08. “Cell Phone Ringin’” Feat. Zoom

09. “Insane”

10. “Tomorrow” Feat. Young Racks

11. “On That R. Kelly” Feat. Mac Soul

12. “One Life To Live” Feat. Chop & Chess

13. “No Handouts (Intro)”

14. “Free”

15. “Tear It Up” Feat. Drewsky

16. “All Week” Feat. Lil’ Cali

17. “You Ain’t Gotta Lie”

18. “Click Juice” Feat. Codakk Demond

19. “Star”

I wound up puttin’ it in tha correct order in my review (according to tha back cover). Anyway, I thought this was a great CD, in your own wayz, Slugz!! I enjoyed it; you did tha damn thang wit this one!! Keep up tha great work!! But, I don’t think they should’ve mixed tha tracklist up this bad. Why couldn’t someone like Kevin Gates suffer tha consequences of a mixed-up tracklisting, lol?
