Review #1,359: FrankieThaLuckyDog Presents "Tha Louisiana Archives Vol. 16: ...Tha End?"

Reviewed on 12.21.2013 (Review #1,359)

‘Bout ta review tha 16^th and final installment of my Tha Louisiana Archives mixtape compilation. It’s unfortunate that it’s my last; find out more when I review tha outro to this mixtape! So once again, here goes my review for FrankieThaLuckyDog Presents Tha Louisiana Archives Vol. 16: …Tha End?. BTW, due to a lack of interest people had in this, I did not host, mix, and blend it! Start Time: 4:11 PM | End Time: 4:46 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. Savage “Money Whipped”

Startin’ off wit a slow jam? Goes to show you I could care less about what’s goin’ on… Either way, had a Savage day on October 22, 2013, after a random dream. I added this to show luv, and that’s why it’s on here. Samples SWV’s “Weak” on tha hook; sounds more upbeat on my CD, here, thanx to tha boost in tha pitch! Sav can pull this off and it sounds good. Nice slow/semi-upbeat vibe for tha ladies! My Current Rating: 4.0

02. 2 Slugz Feat. Lil’ Cali “All Week”

My Current Rating: 4.5

03. 31^st Deedy Feat. Savage & Ree-Up “Dope Boi Swag”

My Current Rating: 4.7

04. Hollowtip “#MollyWorld”

My Current Rating: 4.3

05. Lil’ Cali Feat. Versey “Pow!”
My Current Rating: 4.7

06. Live Boy Scooter “Get Smoked”

Added this based off tha fact that Scooter showed me luv by followin’ me on Twitter. However, he ain’t answer my call and then, ain’t answer me back on Twitter about tha call. It kinda tells me that I jumped too quick with this song. Like, I added it without a result? A lil’ too quick… Anyway, this joint’s kinda random for me. Tha hook sounds like a sampled kid from tha hood or somethin’. And, rhymes are a lil’ random, once again… My Current Rating: 3.5

½time: So far, good, but all of these songs flopped on my playlist, after I started really gettin’ into Gunplay’s music, and leanin’ off of Louisiana music… But, tha CD’s at a 4.3 CD rating, so far…

07. Point Blank Fam Feat. Kevin Gates “Roller Coaster”

My Current Rating: 4.9

08. Racked-Up Ready Feat. Savage “Ain’t Tryna Be Ya Mane”

My Current Rating: 4.6

09. Sess 4-5 Feat. Mr. Magic “#SeeWutDatDo”

My Current Rating: 4.8

10. Doonie “Da Quickness”

My Current Rating: 4.8

11. Yung Yola “Everybody Thuggin’”

Just got this two dayz ago. Lemme hear this for tha 1^st time and see what’s up wit this… >>> Wow, didn’t even hear tha 1^st second, as it says that he produced tha track! Now, it’s all about “Mollies;” glad he adjustin’ to it! Beat sounds regular (almost figured it was an online beat when I skimmed through a few seconds), and tha hook’s catchy. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds good; his rhymes definitely are consistent and are great fa me! Don’t mind what he spittin’, too! Gotta not “pick up ya pants,” like ya said, ‘cause ya showin’ ya ass! Glad you still got that in you, Yola! That’s why I luv you wit all my heart! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, and good shit! “Time ta light tha blunt up;” keep smokin’, my boy! Wow, this went by quick; I thought a 3^rd verse was gon come outta this… My Rating: 4.6

12. FrankieThaLuckyDog “Outro: Final Message”

Here’s what I had to say:

It's FrankieThaLuckyDog, here, with a statement I need to make. Unfortunately, it looks like this'll be my final installment of Tha Louisiana Archives. Time and time again, I've tried to create an outlet for tha unknown - tha ones that aren't widely known in Louisiana, but there's a complete lack of interest. A lack of interest that makes me have a lack of interest for new Louisiana music. There wasn't one person that booked a spot on my mixtape, and it's only $20 for a spot! For someone who posts for over 3,000 Facebook “friends,” it goes to show you how unimportant I am in this underground—“fantasy world”—of Louisiana. I thought I was “known” to tha point where people would know that every 90 dayz, I would drop a mixtape, not where I'd have to constantly waste time posting about it. I would've loved to stay on a consistent grind like no other, and put a mixtape out every 90 dayz, for years and decades, without feeling too old; too bad tha people don't agree wit me, and made me last for only 16 rounds! I also believe that tha Louisiana generation I embraced, starting back in 2007, was what I was born to love: Club bangaz, jiggalatin' anthems, people embracing tha sound of Louisiana, and gangsta shit with a Baton Rouge underground sound. Now, people like Mista Cain, who randomly get thrown into a raffle and picked to get all tha “attention”, iz what's this generation, that I don't understand; it's another reason why they get 300 likes in an hour, and I get only 3 in a day. While sometimes, tha sound of Baton Rouge iz still there, tha passion for being promoted iz nowhere to be found, and I can't stand those who knock tha jigg sound. It's like, bitch, you prolly fake and ain't got money, anyway, so look who's talkin'! It makes me not take Louisiana music serious, anymore. All I do iz get pigeonholed to my damn radio show—not station—that has been defunct for tha past 16 months! If you can't figure out what I've been doin', or what's still active of mine, then you're not a fan of me; you're a loser and a loser! I'm not this mysterious secret! I apologize for wasting hundreds and over a thousand dollars on trying my best to promote tha unknown, through awards, booking, and everything I've done. I apologize for freezin' my ass off in zero-degree weather to create a passionate image of showin' an artist luv, where they've chosen to not appreciate and ignore what I've done. I apologize for bringing light to such shitheads on my tri-weekly playlists, to where I would make you feel as important as Billboard-charting artists in other genres and other countries! They would look at y'all as somethin' cool; meanwhile, tha “cool” would be future embarrassment for me. I also don't understand why nobody has even taken tha time or money to come and visit me; I don't understand what tha problem iz! I do wanna thank 2 Chainz & Gunplay for creating a withdrawal from tha ignoring disappointments of Louisiana for me. Just realizing that there's other music out there makes me think positive. I cannot tolerate ruining my health and aging quicker, just to chase people who don't appreciate me. One final word of advice before I go: PLEASE make sure you don't become a dad too early, especially in your teens/early 20's and while you're tryna build yourself as an artist!! Too many people who I've tried to promote get caught up in fatherhood, and they lose their passion as a full-time artist. It's like, are you a great dad and a shitty artist, or a great artist and a shitty dad? You can't be 100 in both worlds! With that bein' said, I will continue to be active in my OWN world; doin' what I LOVE doin'!! And, if you can't appreciate that, I could give a FUCK what you think about what I wanna do!! Most of y'all are self-centered, anyway! With only approximately $100 left to my name, tha hard-to-get Louisiana money ain't worth tha shit I have to go through to get it!  It's now time for me to get a REAL job!! My Rating: N/A

Overall: Other than tha random Scooter song, this a consistent mixtape! Too bad it has to come to an end! Unfortunately, we got no artists in Louisiana that have any “money,” so no money, no continuing! Dedication always iz required to push shit like this out! Aight, I gon stop talkin’; I gotta get back to doin’ what I’m doin’!

Hopefully, today’ll be tha day where I catch up on tha reviewz… Got Master P The Gift up next, released on No Limit Forever Records. Start Time: 9:27 AM | End Time: 10:47 AM

Link To CD: N/A

01. “Spotlight” Feat. Howie T

Produced by 1500 Or Nothin’; interestin’ name… >>> A slow, R&B-type beat start, but it sounds like it’s turnin’ into an underground style with tha hook; not bad… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and it sounds like you’re spittin’ official shit; I’m feelin’ what you’re goin’ through and how you’re deliverin’ it. Tha 2^nd verse iz pretty nice, too; glad you’re expressin’ “fake” dudes! Thanx fa sayin’ that my “time comin’;” sounds like motivation! My Rating: 4.3

02. “Lonely Road” Feat. Howie T & A.D.
Production from Slikk Muzik, here… >>> Scary start that came too quick. Sounds good with you on tha 1^st verse, but it’s startin’ ta sound like Jay-Z & Justin Timberlake’s “Holy Grail” song that Music Choice: Rap just won’t give up! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good wit you rappin’ on it; nice and motivated. Despite bein’ thrown-off a lil’ by these songs, tha ratings I’m givin’ these are pretty nice; there’s somethin’ about ‘em… My Rating: 4.2

03. “It’s A Jungle Out Here” Feat. Howie T
Lots of Howie T features…; anotha 1500 Or Nothin’ production. >>> Almost an awkward vocal start, but hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, it sounds pretty nice; feelin’ your lifestyle! “Loadin’ up tha ammo;” gotta luv it, since I’m playin’ Parasite Eve for PlayStation, while I review this! A lil’ hint of some N.O. bounce-like vocals toward tha end of tha 1^st verse wit tha, “Trick…!” Nice! Tha hook ain’t too bad, here, from Howie T. I’m feelin’ all this motivated music; sounds like tha soundtrack ta feelin’ motivated, though I feel very unmotivated with my Louisiana connection. Kinda soundin’ like a sellout on tha 2^nd verse, here; at least it doesn’t annoy me. My Rating: 3.9

04. “You A Genius” Feat. Alley Boy

1500 Or Nothin’ on tha beat. >>> Great New Orleans feel in tha beat, here! That street shit; let’s see how this continues… Nice hook, too! Feelin’ tha drug shit; glad you don’t age!! Wow, even tha beat’s progressin’ throughout tha hook; nice!! “A chemist on that stove;” yessir! LOL, durin’ tha 2^nd hook, I thought Alley Boy was Ace Hood fa a second, goin’, “Ace Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood,” ROFL!! Here’s tha Alley Boy on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit an okay sound, but I’m feelin’ what he deliverin’! Glad he stayin’ on topic, too! Great outro, too, between a “genius” and a “chemist!” My Rating: 4.6

05. “Two Three” Feat. Rick Ross

Yucky feature, here… BK Productions produced this track. >>> Beat sounds pretty catchy, and you sound great wit your delivery on tha 1^st verse!! Jammin’ shit—oh wait, this tha hook, lol! Forgot about tha title; definitely nice!! A lotta “23”—oh, that’s also tha title. Wow, I’m startin’ ta realize what’s goin’ on, afta staring at tha title and hearin’, “23,” a lot! At least it’s betta than tha Mike WiLL/Miley Cyrus/Wiz Khalifa/Juicy J “23”, that Music Choice: Rap’s playin’ out! Anyway, now, we got tha fake Ricky on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through with whateva; it just ‘sounds good,’ as I now say! My Rating: 4.5

06. “Change Ya Life” Feat. Silkk The Shocker & Howie T
#TBT feature of Silkk on tha feature, here…; 1500 Or Nothin’ on tha beat. >>> Again, it has a “Holy Grail” feel to it in tha beat, but I’m likin’ how this sounds. You comin’ through on tha 1^st verse, and it sounds good. You braggin’ about your “money” ain’t bad; I can tolerate it. Hearin’ Silkk on tha 2^nd verse, here (I can finally tell it’s his voice, lol); consistent… My Rating: 4.0

07. “Holding Back The Years” Feat. Cymphonique

Hope it ain’t a cover…; Jaymison Beverly producin’ tha track… >>> Yup, I was right about it bein’ a cover (Simply Red), so I know this ain’t gonna go too good. A female takin’ over tha covered hook, here… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and it sounds good, but kinda awkward ta have this soft rock song be mixed with your grimy character! At least this ain’t a 4:30 song, and iz only 2:44! ROFL @ tha start to tha 2^nd verse wit tha “trap house;” who would’ve thought that’d mix wit Simply Red! My Rating: 2.6

08. “Ghost” Feat. Romeo

1500 Or Nothin’ on this track. >>> Pretty nice for tha hook, here! Definitely feelin’ this production and how you comin’ through wit your street attitude! Great shit throughout tha 1^st verse; nice street shit, once again! Hearin’ Romeo on tha 2^nd verse, and it sounds good…; feelin’ tha delivery! My Rating: 4.4

09. “You’re The One” Feat. Jeremih

Another #TBT feature, here…; anotha 1500 beat. >>> Good start between Jeremih and tha beat… Even tha hook sounds good, so there’s more of a plus, here. It’s a longer joint (4:35), so let’s see if this holds up… Here you are on tha (I’d assume) 1^st verse (since Jeremih sounded like he had an intro to tha hook). Sounds okay, but way too Rick Ross-y wit tha flow. Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too Ross-y, but it’s startin’ ta be an aight joint, now… My Rating: 3.7

½time: Nice CD, so far; you neva lost it, P! A four-star-rated CD, currently!

10. “White” Feat. Yo Gotti & Krazy

J Buc on tha track; I had a feelin’ it was gon be this track, based off typing tha features out! Keepin’ tha been-a-minute-since-we-heard-‘em features goin’ wit Krazy on tha feature, as well as havin’ Yo Gotti, too! >>> Nice beat start and Yo Gotti on tha hook! Buc kept tha beat tag on a mainstream CD? Wonder what tha white folks from random states like Kentucky gon think/say? Anyway, here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit regular-soundin’ rhymes that sound good. “Mr. I Am” on tha 2^nd verse (lol, I was gonna write, “Mr.,” but he beat me to it), comin’ through wit consistent rhymes! Of course, his nasally voice always takes tha cake! Now, let’s see how Krazy gon come back… Sounds good; it’s that typical No Limit feel, here! My Rating: 4.5

11. “Woke Up A Millionaire” Feat. Deezle

1500 Or Nothin & Deezle collaboration on tha beat. >>> Sounds like a regular song; not bad… I like tha “made it out tha pro-ject” line. Tha 2^nd verse’s decent, here… Didn’t recognize Deezle, as I hear a long outro from you, here… Kinda long, would you say? My Rating: 3.6

12. “Let Me Find Out” Feat. Play Beezy & Gangsta

Jaymison Beverly beat. >>> Sounds like it gon be a club/ass-shaker song! Simple, but good job makin’ a jam, here, wit tha hook! Ooh, hearin’ tha beat within tha 1^st verse, and it sounds like Atari or somethin’, lol! Good shit on tha 1^st verse, too! Play Beezy comin’ through wit some catchy shit! Here you are on tha 2^nd verse; good shit! Who would’ve thought you’d talk about “Instagram,” but you’re a soldier, and last! Tha “same ol’ G,” known as Gangsta, on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit good shit! Consistent rhymes; he got tha voice that always sounds great on tha tracks! My Rating: 4.5

13. “You Ain’t Gotta Say Too Much” Feat. Miss Chee, Howie T & Larayne

Slikk Muzik on tha track. >>> Anotha ass-shakin’ song? I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’! You say it’s a “remix” ta somethin’? Sounds good wit tha singin’ on tha—oh, I know this from somewhere (Rich Boyz “Cutt Friends” or somethin’?); really #TBT style! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and it sounds good; good shit! I’m feelin’ tha female rapper on tha 2^nd verse, here; “diggin’ fa treasure!” My Rating: 4.3

14. “Make It Do What It Do” Feat. T-Bo

Mr. Giggles (lol) on tha track, here. >>> More ass ta shake, here, lol! Nice beat, and, in a typical No Limit perspective, this some good shit! “Make it twerk like Miley;” funny how she’s tha new stereotype as far as a twerkaholic! Tha hook’s catchy; too bad T-Bo prefers “droppin’ dollaz” on hoes than spendin’ it on me promotin’ him. It’s like, unblock me, already!! Tha 2^nd verse went by pretty quickly; nice… Oh now, here’s T-Bo on tha 3^rd verse… Once again, just like Ross, it ‘sounds good’ on this beat. Then again, hearin’ tha rest of tha shit he spittin’, and it’s borderline-weak; too much of a stereotype of what’s ‘cool’. My Rating: 4.2

15. “I Ain’t Goin’ Let It Happen Twice” Feat. Gangsta & Play Beezy

La’Keith on tha track; how’d he get here? >>> Beat sounds pretty nice, especially tha intro, with, “Nigga, roll dat shit up!” Good shit from you and Gangsta on tha hook! Definitely feelin’ tha “life” content! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and you’re really holdin’ it down wit tha “Free C-Murder” shit! Even down ta “Boosie [touchin’] down!” Props fa tha passion in your voice; keep this goin’! Got tha Gangsta on tha 2^nd verse, here; I feel tha “it’s hard out here without no education” line. I hate that I’ve had a Master’s Degree for almost 16 months now, and still don’t have a job! Opportunities have come up, but they’re really bullshittin’ me, ignorin’ me and shit. It’s like, it’s an open position that I mastered in!!! Great verse; keep this comin’!! Play Beezy on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit good rhymes like Gangsta, too! My Rating: 4.5

16. “You Need To Know”

Jaymison Beverly beat. >>> An R&B voice in tha background, here… This doesn’t sound too bad, but I dunno about people claimin’ “this tha realest shit I’ve eva wrote;” you know how many songs you have? I don’t think anything in 2013 would be that memorable… Anyway, hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and it sounds okay; regular rhymes, here… Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad, either… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse, and you keepin’ this shit goin’… My Rating: 3.7

17. “I Need An Armored Truck” Feat. Romeo

I like tha title, here…; The Composer composed this track. >>> Nice beat, again; sounds like some regular No Limit-type shit. Tha hook’s pretty good; I know you want that “armored truck!” Good job wit tha 1^st verse, too… I thought I commented tha hook, before, but it seemed like tha beginning of tha 1^st verse. Hearin’ tha actual hook now, and it sounds like a 2 Chainz flow… Same thing wit Romeo on tha 2^nd verse, here; it’s okay… Also, kinda like today’s rappers (e.g., Meek Mill). My Rating: 3.7

18. “God Forgive Us” Feat. The Game & Nipsey Hussle

Not sure how this gon turn out fa an ending song… 1500 Or Nothin’ beat. >>> An okay start; I think I’m likin’ this for an ending song… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and it sounds like a Rick Ross-like flow… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, and it’s Game, comin’ through wit some better rhymes than his current usual! Glad they’re not soft; props fa havin’ that tone that I grew up knowin’! Nipsey on tha 3^rd verse, here… It’s okay; really sounds like some Maybach Music… Overall, this was pretty nice. My Rating: 4.2

Overall: I thought this was a nice album; definitely golden, if you’d consider it that! Keep up tha great work! Nice collaborations, too, and tha production was mostly great!

Review #1,357: Doonie "Heartfelt Vol. 1 (Hosted by DJ Ya Boy Earl)"

Reviewed on 12.09.2013 (Review #1,357)

Got an anticipated review I finna do, brought to you by Rich Kidd Entertainment: Doonie Heartfelt Vol. 1 (Hosted by DJ Ya Boy Earl)!! Now, for those of y’all who keep up with me and shit, you would know that Doonie ain’t 100% a new artist. For me, it started on tha night of February 24, 2008, where I did only my 66^th review (1,291 reviewz ago) for Baton Rouge’s DeTrane’s Jigg City Radio Vol. 1. Doonie (who I knew as Lil’ Doonie, at tha time)’s “Yo Swagger” (featuring K-9) topped tha review. On April 10 of that year, Doonie wrote me on MySpace:

I still wonder why you got rid of your MySpace at tha height of your success, back in ’08? One of tha first ones to reach out to me, as well as one of tha first ones from Louisiana to get awards from me! Doonie was mainly only active in 2008 with me, until this year, when he was featured on DJ B-Real’s Pay Da Producer Vol. 1, making a five-year comeback! And yes, I’m glad you still have tha deep voice! I gon get into more shit a lil’ later, but for now, lemme get inta this!! Start Time: 7:13 PM | End Time: 8:56 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. “Heartfelt (Intro)”
If this iz 4:10 (lol, tha April 10^th date on tha length ta start it off; how ironic), then I assume there’s rappin’ goin’ on in this intro! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’! >>> Earl on tha intro, here; sounds pretty hot! LOL, did Earl know about you back in ’07/’08? Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse; sounds nice!! Glad you still got tha same voice and ain’t change, once again!! A lil’ Racked-Up Ready-like flow; good shit! ROFL @ quotting “Mista.” Wow, changed tha tone of your voice on tha hook; really catchin’ me off-guard in great wayz, here!! There’s even a hook, too; nice job!! Really comin’ through hard on tha 1^st verse, hook, and now, you keepin’ it comin’ wit tha 2^nd verse!! Back four years ago, you wanted me ta get a hold of BluBlack, tryin’ ta get a beat from him. I’m not sure if I told him, but I think, at tha time, I ain’t hear from you after that, and it might’ve been harder ta get a hold of Blu, at tha time. Next time I talk ta him, I’ll mention you, again. Hearin’ you on tha 3^rd verse, and damn, just keepin’ it goin’! Yup, you “still dat same Lil’ Doonie!” Earl on tha outro, too! Yea, “excited!” Earl, we already know tha name! It’s almost six years I’ve known, now! But yea, one of tha best intro tracks I’m heard in a loooooooooooong time!! If it was hot out, I’d do a live review ta this! But, it’s 20 degrees outside, and it’s brutal after minutes! My Rating: 4.9

02. “Born Thuggin’” Feat. Lil’ Boosie

Wow, a Boosie feature? I would assume it’s just a sample on tha hook, but lemme hear! >>> Good intro from Earl, once again! Glad he showin’ you luv! Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit consistent fiya!! I feel how hard you come through on tha mic!! Boosie on tha 2^nd verse (did I miss tha hook or somethin’); consistent rhymes. You already know what it iz wit him, though at times, recently, I feel insecure. People from his label luv to threaten and ignore me; why? You said it on tha 3^rd verse: “I grew up in Gardere;” I ain’t forget!! You were tha 1^st one I heard from there!! BluBlack’s tha best from there, but you were tha 1^st I officially heard! Real catchy shit in tha 3^rd verse, too, comin’ through real hard!! Now, I recognize tha hook; good shit! My Rating: 4.7

03. “Solo Dolo” Feat. Rich Kidd Jr.

Tha title looks like one of your sayings or somethin’. Of course, got tha Rich Kidd Ent. leader on tha feature! >>> Had to analyze tha beat tag; it’s tha most-recent tag from DJ B-Real, so he produced this one! Okay, anotha catchy hook, here, and tha beat really helps tha quality be defined!! Glad you ain’t on some internet/jacked beats; you neva were!!! Keep that virginity: Jacked-beat virginity! Even I was on jacked beats, back in tha day, but it was only two! Anyway, good shit you got goin’ on wit tha 1^st verse, here! Feelin’ your character wit tha, “Oh, now, they startin’ ta like me;” good job expressin’ yourself! LOL @ your “nuts swang;” crazy Doonie! Catchy shit on tha 2^nd verse, too; you don’t give up expressin’ so much character wit your flow!! Just sounds so crazy!! LOL @ tha “Burger King freak;” commentin’ so much!! This has ta be tha most-exciting review I’ve done since Pay Da Producer Vol. 1, 10 months later! Now, let’s see how Lil’ Junior—well, now Rich Kidd Junior, does on tha 3^rd verse… Sounds good; consistency at its finest!! At times, I’d rather hear just you on tracks, but at least there’s no wackness, here! “MTV, they waitin’ on me; VH1, they waitin’ on me.” Three months ago, I went to visit “MTV” (and, saw “VH1”’s building). I gave them three résumés; hope they hire me, eventually! I just gon keep puttin’ out video countdowns (more on that during tha ½time of this CD) to catch their attention! My Rating: 4.7

04. “Too Much” Feat. Level & Mista Cain

Two former Easy Hustle Entertainment dudes on tha feature that lack makin’ me important: Level doesn’t thank me for awards, and Mista kinda went M.I.A. from me in 2010, right when I had a great idea for a commercial for me. Other than this negative shit, I think this gon be real good! However, because of tha negativity, it prolly gon be like chocolate to a diabetic when I hear it! >>> Spooky beat start; turns out ta be EQ on tha production! Feelin’ tha dark vibe, like tha “Yo Swagger” dayz! Ooh, you on tha hook wit tha “big blunt already rolled;” can just imagine how “big” it iz!! Good shit you spittin’ on tha 1^st verse; very good!! “Long Islands,” huh? That’s where I’m from! I like tha “too much for these niggaz, and [???] for these hoes” part in tha hook; good shit! Of course, can’t take Level serious anymore, on tha 2^nd verse; he has dignity issues, as he answers other people and not me. That’s what I had to deal with all my life, and I’m tryna move from it! So, every review I do will just be like, “It just sounds good; next!” Now, to Mista on tha 3^rd verse: Yada-yada, yada-yada; anotha one that just iz like, “It sounds good; that’s all I need ta say.” My Rating: 4.8 (shocking rating!! It just “sounds good!”)

05. “What If”

4:20 on tha length, so let’s see if you blowin’ on some Doonie Dank (lol)! >>> Sounds like a 225 beat mixed with southern, Baton Rouge vibes and uniqueness! Ooh, sounds betta durin’ tha hook!! Tha hook sounds great; sounds like you self-medicate yourself a lot! Tha 1^st verse sounds nice; lots of “what if”s! Glad you’re still around! Really, “what if” you neva made a comeback like this, and were only active during one year? I still wonder “what” it was that made you make a comeback? Great 1^st verse!! Let’s keep this goin’! Oh, for what I said about tha “what” comeback: Ta start tha 2^nd verse, you said, “What if I ain’t run inta Junior,” so really, Rich Kidd “Jr.” saved you! Wait: At 1:29, a reversed name/word? Because it was reversed (and not bleeped), I must unreverse it ta see what it says… I can’t make out tha name; sounds like “just”? Anyway, nice job wit all those “what if”s throughout tha 2^nd verse; pretty intense vibes, here!! You have 1:03 left on tha outro, here; let’s see what’s left, here… On a talkin’ vibe, speakin’ “what if”s… Even fuckin’ “hoes,” too? At least you ain’t got no kids, so there’s no baggage you’re carrying! But yea, real nice; tha beat definitely helps make this a really high-rated joint!! My Rating: 4.7

06. “Bring Me Down” Feat. Max Minelli

Why do people think Max Minelli’s a compound name (“Maxminelli”)? Weird, but I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’! >>> An Earl intro; he hyped this up, but I think this gon be decent, based off tha sample on tha hook… Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit great aggression on tha mic, and great rhymes! Good shit; this gon turn out ta be at least a 4.0 fa me, luckily. Hearin’ tha hook for tha 2^nd verse, and yea, like Earl said, it jams… Max on tha 2^nd verse, and he does a nice job deliverin’ tha lyrics on this beat! Great lyrics, once again; pure quality!! Turned out ta be better than when I first heard tha beginning of it! My Rating: 4.4

07. “Stressin’” Feat. Rich Kidd Jr. & Taz

Gotta hear what’s up, here… >>> Funny how tha beat tags are buried, and are hard ta hear. Then again, this beat sounds like I’ve heard it once before; we’ll see how it turns out ta be wit you on it… Good hook, though you spelled tha title wrong! “S-T-R-E-S-S-S…”? Kinda shitty that there’s an error, but regardless, hot hook! Glad you attempted ta spell part of tha title, and you comin’ through wit your realness! Got tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through wit rapid-fire rhymes that are tight and filled with life!! Mr. Junior on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit fast rhymes, too! Whoo, typin’ this review right now feels like an exercise or somethin’; I’m typin’ so much ‘cause there’s so much ta say!! Feelin’ tha rhymes; very much a workaholic!! Wonder who this Taz dude iz on tha 3^rd verse… A lil’ bit of a Ja Rule-like voice fa tha Boot, mixed wit tha streetz of tha N.O.? That’s what it sounds like ta me, and it’s definitely tight!!! Wow, went all tha way ‘til tha end, while tha beat was left behind, 10 seconds earlier!! My Rating: 4.8

08. “First 48”

2007 was when you did spit your “first 48,” right? Just takin’ a guess… >>> Really anticipated by tha Earl intro! Tha beat’s pretty jammin’, here, and tha hook’s tight! All you sayin’ iz, “First 48, tha first 48,” but it’s catchy as fuck!! Here’s tha verse! Pretty serious; tha streetz must luv this and fa those who don’t know about it yet, they must know sooner or later!! Wow, great job, once again!! Usually, I luv short songs, but anotha verse would’ve been nice!! My Rating: 4.7

09. “Dat Raggedy” Feat. Percy Keith

Anotha ignoring dude on tha feature. I think this gon be tha only year I gon hear him. I mean, once it’s 2014, I’ll be far away from most of these dudes, and they’ll be sorry they ignored me!! >>> Yucky beat tag in tha beginning; took seven seconds! Was that K.T.? Tha hook’s nice; you really tellin’ ‘em how “raggedy” your city iz! I can only imagine it when I make my debut in “Baton Rouge,” whenever… You mention tha “babies havin’ babies,” yet? That’s a major issue, since it ruins rapper/producers’ careers/quality/focus!! Tha 1^st verse sounds nice; glad you paintin’ a picture of tha “raggedy” BR! Hearin’ tha hook fa tha 2^nd time, and it sounds catchy as hell wit tha flow; great delivery!! Hearin’ Percy Keith on tha 2^nd verse, and it’s off to a bad start fa me. Not really inta tha “I’m tha next nigga from BR” sellout perspective or whateva. Also, tha lyrics are way too cocky!! I also heard he sexist; no wonder why he ain’t eva respond/retweet me! It sucks ‘cause this was tha year of people born in 1984, and he just went on quietly… Like, really? “I just got a comment on my Instagram;” wack!! Seemed like that verse had nothin’ ta do wit tha song, whatsoever! Talk about a failed feature! But, I’ll rate it good, once again, ‘cause it “sounds good,” smh! My Rating: 4.5

10. “Da Quickness”

Your area code, a.k.a. 2:25, on tha length! With your Gardere Lane-ass, show these people what you ‘bout! >>> Wow, luvin’ tha hook!!! Luv how you say tha title; I think I dig “Q” and “Z” words a lot!! Even some Star Wars/Star Fox laser effects in tha background? Wow! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and you tha “worm;” good shit! Sayin’ you “21,” here; that’s correct! I think you might’ve been wrong wit tha Instagram #TBT pics I sent you, as you said you were “14.” If that was tha case, it would’ve been 2005 or 2006? Maybe, tha pics are that old, but I first saw ‘em in ’08, and I thought DeTrane took ‘em? Also, didn’t realize you were born tha day after B-Real, so you, B-Real & Boosie are all born in tha same week! You’re also born tha day before I got robbed a ½ stack, too, so it’s a lil’ scary, at tha same time. Either way, nice job wit tha 1^st verse; you doin’ tha damn thang!! Tha 2^nd verse iz nice, too; great shit, here!! Also, it was pretty quick! Only two hooks! My Rating: 4.8

½time: Wow, I dunno what ta say, so far!! Already five pages inta tha review, and you’re KILLIN’ IT!!! I’m happy I finally have some sorta excitement for tha reviewz again!! I just luv tha production and tha magnificent ear you have for beats!! Also, tha way you come through on tha track iz phenomenal!!! Your lyrics are definitely on-n-poppin’!! No filler!! Tha average CD rating iz currently at a whoppin’ 4.7!!!!! Now, to take a quick break, lemme go back to what you wrote me on Instagram:

“Mane u gota pop dat in first im tellin u it’s the BEST CD IN THE CITY I PROMISE”

I almost didn’t anticipate this too much, as someone in my field told me that if someone thinks they’re tha best, they’re most-likely to fall on their face. But, I’m glad I waited, and got tha okay reviewz outta tha way first ‘cause this definitely iz one of tha best this year!! I tried to get to it as fast as I could. I downloaded it eight dayz ago, by tha way. Just know that I have a lot goin’ on; take a look:

#01: Reviewz: I review in tha order I get each CD. Also, I sometimes do live reviewz, where I spend tha whole day reviewin’ on camera & editin’. I shot three within tha previous week.

#02: Playlists: I do my playlists every three weeks, adding songs here and there.

#03: My Music: Sooner or later, I gotta start working on my 2^nd album; all produced and rapped by me!

#04: Radio Edits: I don’t have a show anymore, but I still edit, here and there, to get more artists’ names out there (anyone before 2013). I have 170+ added edits goin’ online in a week or so. I also have to make videos outta each edit for YouTube.

#05: My Year-End Countdowns: I have my 14^th annual, Top Songs of 2013, comin’ up January 6, 2014! I have to tally up every song I played in 2013’s spins!

#06: Video Countdowns: Got my Top Fall Anthems of 2013 comin’ up this month. I’m also workin’ on six other video countdowns! I edit, film, host, and more! My main focus for MTV/VH1!

#07: Birthdayz: I be celebratin’ Louisiana birthdayz outta scratch-off lottery tickets.

#08: Reality TV Show: I have a reality TV show comin’ soon, about me fallin’ for lyrics in music tha wrong way. I also am comin’ with a sensory issue segment, too!

#09: Tribute Videos: When someone in Louisiana dies, I gotta take dayz to make a tribute video fa them!

#10: Awards: Got tha 2013 awards comin’ up December 31; already printed ‘em out!

#11: Commercials: I’m workin’ on a radio-edits commercial, as well as one for my upcoming year-end countdown.

#12: Most-Shocking Moments: My highly-anticipated video countdown of my shocking moments of 2013’s gonna start to unveil in January. Gotta go to New York in January to film interviews with my family!

#13: Mixtape Compilations: I have my 16^th mixtape compilation of Tha Louisiana Archives comin’ out December 21. It might be my last due to rappers lacking interest and no money goin’ into it.

#14: Fixing Up Files: I back up, label and fix tha volumes of all tha files I download/get. I had to fix up over 17,000 files last month, and I think I hurt my back from doin’ it. That slowed me down a lil’ bit, so realize where I’m at.

#15; Finding A Job: Tha most-important; it’s a major focus, and I have less than $300 to my name with $100,000 in loans after me! They’ve been after me for 1 ½ years, now!

So, I have a lot goin’ on; December’s my busiest month!

11. “It Is What It Is” Feat. Tha Kidd AJC
Nice collab; seems like you’re really known, now! It kinda reminds me of myself, just introducin’ yourself to a lotta people. >>> Nice production on here, once again!! Good talkin’ in tha beginning, too, though it sounds like you’re fallin’ for tha “pussy-azz shit”? Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and I’m definitely diggin’ what you comin’ through wit!! Glad I was down wit you since tha beginning! People wanna act like you’re ‘new,’ smh. It’s like, do your research, people! It almost sounds like AJC came on tha 1^st verse, but it’s you, comin’ through wit catchy shit! Seems like I’m gettin’ lost in tha 1^st verse, but tha continuous rhymes are keepin’ me company! Oh, tha “shiiid, who” shit’s a part of tha hook; I see… Definitely a nice hook, as I commented it earlier! Got tha 2^nd verse here, and again, I thought it was AJC; it’s you, doin’ a nice job! Even broke down sing-rappin’ in tha middle of tha 2^nd verse, too! Gotta feel it! You’re very talented!! Finally, AJC on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit regular rhymes; they sound great on this beat, though! Consistent flow; gotta feel him! My Rating: 4.6

12. “My Life”

Lemme hear! >>> Bad for there bein’ a beat tag in tha beginning (K.T.). However, let’s see what this gon turn out ta be… Catchy hook, and K.T. doin’ a nice job on tha beat! Yup, “1991,” as you’re on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit tha facts! You’re a normal dude who a ‘90s baby, unlike all tha ones that come out now, who believe in auto-tune and wack shit! Feelin’ your rhymes as you were comin’ up; good shit! Pretty serious shit in tha 2^nd verse; I feel tha rhymes. At least when you rap about tha terrible shit that occurred in your “life,” it doesn’t sound depressin’ and corny. Like, this sounds like a jam; it sounds interestin’; it sounds catchy; it sounds great! Here’s a 36-second outro… What happened ta Earl, lol? My Rating: 4.6

13. “Cold World” Feat. Lil’ One The Champ
Tha 4:10 length again, lol! >>> I did say, “What happened ta Earl,” on tha last joint, but here he iz! Good lil’ quick intro… Tha beat’s a lil’ laidback, here, but tha sounds are definitely hot!! Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some real/catchy shit! Good shit on tha hook; you deliver tha titles nicely! Definitely some catchy shit and dat true 225 sound!! You don’t have ta be a dick and say, “I don’t make jiggin’ music.” It’s like, this and this sound = Baton Rouge music!! There’s jiggin’ music, but there’s also this! This = Baton Rouge music!! Got you on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some catchy rhymes, once again! This flow and vibe reminds me of tha track you were featured on on B-Real’s CD (which, I actually reviewed live: http://youtu.be/s9ohgFOCnn0?t=42m)! It was cold as hell out, that day! Though I don’t seriously fuck wit dickrided rappers, I do give props ta Lil’ One The Champ’s verses. Once again, this a consistent, great verse he providin’ fa you, on tha 3^rd verse. I guess Earl got hypnotized by Lil’ One or somethin’ ‘cause outta nowhere, he appears on this joint on both tha intro and outro? I’m glad he made an appearance, though! Now, Earl, don’t be afraid ta give me your address ta send you your awards from 2009 that I neva sent you! My Rating: 4.5

14. “A Strong Mind”

For 22, your titles seem pretty grown; good thinkin’! My debut album dropped when I was 22, back three years ago, this week. You can tell I need ta get a new album out there soon ‘cause my cousin died of a heroin overdose exactly one year after its release date, so basically, my debut album’s cursed! I just need ta find time; I have a lot ta say, but will find tha time soon! >>> Great beat!! Also, a catchy hook; luv how you say tha titles!! Luvin’ how you comin’ through on tha 1^st verse, too; you really layin’ it down, my boy!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too! I swear, it almost sounds like that good BluBlack production, here! G-Lane at its finest!! My Rating: 4.7

15. “Dolomite”

1:30 on tha length; a quickie, it looks like. Lookin’ forward ta you and your “Dolo” shit! >>> Interestin’ beginning part; almost sounded like your own tag (don’t take this as an idea). Beat sounds nice, and it sounds like you’re spittin’ some “jungle”-like rhymes; good shit! You’ve always been a giant! Earlier this year, I was walkin’ at tha Nay Aug Park in Scranton, and when I walk that walk for autism, I always think of “Yo Swagger”. Tha previous time I went there, which was ’08, I played “Yo Swagger” on my iPod fa, like, tha 1^st time! Great memories! It’s like tha “Yo Swagger” walk! Funny how wit tha Webbie Savage Life 4 CD I just reviewed, there were so many long, three-verse songs that I wanted ta end fast. But, with you, these quick jointz seem like, “I want more!!” My Rating: 4.5

16. “Wildin’”

Wow, three songs in a row with no features! >>> Nice beat, here!! Great shit you spittin’ on tha 1^st verse; just feelin’ tha down-n-dirty dungeon of Doonie’s rhymes!! Tha hook’s pretty hot; luv how you say tha title, includin’ tha “flames!” Wow, tha 2^nd verse’s definitely hot!!! Luv how you sound like tha early dayz of Juvenile wit tha voice/flow!! Tha 3^rd verse iz pretty nice, here! Not as catchy as tha 2^nd verse and tha character, but this iz still hot! Ooh, last 12 seconds: A “we wildin’,” whispered and echoed! My Rating: 4.8

17. “Changed A Nigga” Feat. Stirgus

Let’s hear… >>> An Earl intro with a real hot beat in tha background! Crazy beginning; let’s all “stand up!” A sample on tha hook; kinda destroys tha opportunity fa your character ta come out in tha hook, like tha previous jointz. So, let’s hope you come through wit major character on tha verses… Okay, hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and I feel tha “thugged out” vibe!! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, and you still say, “Louisiana,” cool! LOL @ “watchin’ gangsta DVDs;” a thug in tha flesh!! Hearin’ tha Stirgus dude on tha 3^rd verse, and it sounds good, here. I feel how he rapped fast within tha verse, too. That’s good that tha “whole New Orleans love [him].” Wow, cold ending, as it ended wit tha 3^rd verse! My Rating: 4.5

18. “Do It All Over” Feat. Rich Kidd Jr.

A nice, short, 2:33 on tha length, here… >>> Nice, once again!! I feel your “heartfelt” point of view, here! Good shit! Nice hook; let’s hear tha 1^st verse… LOL @ tha “Levi’s!” I dunno about wantin’ ta say you “been blowed up;” can’t think way too positive! You’re nice and undaground, tha way I like it! You just sound too good! Almost didn’t think there was a feature, but it’s Junior, comin’ through wit consistent rhymes! Gotta feel how he comin’ through! Yea, “MTV, that’s where I be!” I hope that’s me, soon! My Master’s Degree in Production needs ta get somewhere!! My Rating: 4.6

19. “Up To You To Get Rich” Feat. Young Bleed

Looks like an interestin’ collaboration! I usually don’t fuck wit money topics, anymore, but lookin’ at how you worded tha title, it doesn’t look like bullshit; it looks interestin’. >>> Of course, Earl on tha intro, as there’s a big-name feature, here… Nice beat and hook; addictive hook! See, no bullshit money-like bullshit! It’s a real catchy hook, delivered by you!! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and it’s street, at its finest!! You comin’ through wit true, gangsta shit!! There’s no “I’m gettin’ money; money, money, money”-type bullshit, despite tha title! Wish people could take notes from you!! Got Bleed on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit true, southern shit!! “Sellin’ purple weed, purple drank;” gotta luv it!! Ooh, you’re back, comin’ through wit tha 3^rd verse, “schemin’” and err-thang! Gotta luv how you comin’ through, here!! Also, anotha joint that ended wit tha verse! My Rating: 4.7

20. “Ghetto Prayer”

I have a feelin’ this gon be one of those ending songs; I just hope it’s not too depressin’! >>> So far, tha beat’s pretty nice; intense synths!! Whoo, no depressin’ shit, so far!! Yea, this that 225 shit that I luv hearin’—tha organ!!! Funny ‘cause I’m playin’ Secret of Mana for Super Nintendo, right now, and tha last time I was in tha area I was in, I was reviewin’ Beat Flippa’s 2008 Street Certified CD. Now that I’m back in tha area five years later, I’m like, “Oh, can’t get those times back!” However, reviewin’ and hearin’ your CD now, it’s creatin’ equal memories!! You are a great comparison!! And, tha 1^st verse’s pretty nice; good shit! Tha hook’s pretty serious wit your character, once again; you really deliver some catchy shit!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too; consistent shit!! Wow, even this ended wit tha verse, too! My Rating: 4.7

Overall: Lookin’ at tha back cover, and I see you even tatted up, now; interestin’! Multiple tattoos, too! Anyway, what greatness!!! You had one of tha best CDs from this year!!! We should call you “Hidden Treasure” ‘cause of how you were hidden for a while, but outta nowhere, just came, and unleashed your mega-talent on err-body, here!!! Glad err-body payin’ attention to your CD!! Keep up tha great work!! This consistent, pure, 225-soundin’ production, mixed with mostly great features, your character, and your rhymes only results in phenomenal greatness!!! Last, but not least, it would be cool if you got a commercial from me. I would hate ta see this CD go unnoticed. I only charge $75 for a 30-second CD commercial, and $125 for a 60-second CD commercial. I should also send you my list of prices, too, so you have ‘em! But, nonetheless, keep up tha great, undaground work!!!

It was close, but you were 6/100s behind B-Real’s Pay Da Producer average CD rating score. Not rounded, you had 4.66; he had 4.72. Either way, can’t beat an 11-page CD review!!!
