Review #1,374: Gunplay "Acquitted"

Reviewed on 1.26.2014 (Review #1,374)


My final Gunplay review I got, right chea! Released on June 10, 2013 on Maybach Music Group, this my review for Acquitted; lookin’ forward ta hearin’!! Start Time: 12:38 PM | End Time: 1:09 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!!

© 2014 CD Review (Review #1,374) reviewed on 1.26.2014 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Intro
Time ta get inta this!! >>> I remember this news story; I used tha footage to create your music video verse to tha “Heaven Or Hell (Remix)” in my Top 50 Fall Anthems of 2013! Anyway, smh @ them pronouncin’ it “My-Bach,” smh… My Rating: N/A


02. “Salute Me” Feat. Peryon
Lookin’ forward ta this collab/person I neva heard of, before! >>> Sounds good for a start! Oh, it’s a singer on tha feature; not bad, and I like how he says, “whoadie.” A lil’ auto-tune on tha voice, but lucky, not gay-drilling to my ears! Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit good rhymes/beatin’ dat charge! I like how your “ratchet got a slimy feel.” Tha 2nd verse sounds good from you, too; real shit—I’m feelin’ what you goin’ through. My Rating: 4.1


03. “D.O.P.E.” Feat. Triple C’s
LOL @ just a “C”, once again, on tha feature! But, I’m definitely lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this collab!!! >>> “Dope” hook, so far; that style of yours that’s real catchy, when it comes ta these tracks!! “D.O.P.E.!” Even tha 1st verse from you wit all this “dope” shit! Definitely a “D.O.P.E.” verse from you, Gunplay!! Let’s see who’s next… I wanna give him a big hug ‘cause he doin’ tha damn thang: Young Breed!!! He providin’ anotha “dope” verse, consistently, like you, Gunplay! Got dat boy Torch on tha 3rd verse, consistently deliverin’ dat “dope!!” Almost sounds like Ross wit tha voice and flow, here, but at least it’s Torch! “Been a made nigga;” you know what it iz!! My Rating: 4.7


04. “Drop Da Tint”
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh!! Saw tha video on YouTube, and randomly added it just last month. Also, I neva knew MTV Jams made it one of their “Jam of the Week”s! Tha video makes me wanna move ta Florida and appreciate tha warm weather! As for tha song, sounds catchy how you deliver tha hook like someone anticipatin’ ta clap someone; grimy at its finest!! And, tha 1st verse’s pretty gangsta wit everythang you spittin’, here! “Have ya pissin’ in ya jewels;” crazy!! Feelin’ tha 2nd verse, too! “Fuck yo release date! I’m just that goon out dat Maybach platoon… I brought my gun and a blunt fa my lung…;” gotta luv ya!! My Current Rating: 4.7


05. “Been Did It” Feat. Ayo
Almost looks like Tony Yayo on tha feature, but it’s someone else; lookin’ forward! >>> I like those “I like this Maybach music” females in tha beginning, of some of these tracks. Oh, a “money” song? I dunno why, but how Ayo brings it, I’m feelin’ it! And, here you are on tha 1st verse, everything you “know,” here! And, after you spit a quick verse, here y’all are on tha hook, comin’ through wit catchiness! Thought he was gon spit a verse, but here you are on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit good shit. My Rating: 4.2


½time: Nice mixtape, so far; a 4.4-rated CD, currently!! Of course, keep holdin’ tha streetz down!!


06. “Get Like Me” Feat. Peryon & Quise
Let’s see, here… >>> Really diggin’ tha “smoke break” in tha beginning! A laidback-soundin’ beat, here; definitely diggin’ it wit that sample, too! Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit a great, feelin’-fucked-up vibe! Hearin’ tha hook, and some of this shit sounds nice; okay lyrics, at times, but a nice vibe… Here’s tha 2nd verse from this Quise dude, comin’ through wit some okay lyrics/vibe… My Rating: 4.0


07. “Cocaina (Que Linda)”
Nice title; let’s hear this cocaine anthem! >>> Sounds different wit holdin’ a note on tha hook; very catchy!! So far, so good; luv it!! Hearin’ tha 1st verse, and tha flow’s a lil’ typical, though you’re describin’ “tha ___,” which sounds good. Tha 2nd verse goes wit tha 1st verse fa me; not bad… However, a nice beat ending! My Rating: 4.4


08. “Topside” Feat. Young Scooter & Young Breed
*Smiles* Ooh, really lookin’ forward ta this collab!! How ‘bout a complete mixtape wit just you & Scooter? >>> Fade-in start… Beat’s on a typical-soundin’, mainstream rap level, but tha hook sounds catchy. Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit catchiness; I don’t mind some of this shit, right now… LOL, tha entertainin’-Scooter on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit regular rhymes, but he sounds so catchy, at all times!! And, my boy Breed on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit “dat dick up out ya dickies…;” wow @ bein’ tha chief in command, Breed! You might get tha key to a city like Pitbull, one day! My Rating: 4.2


09. “Pyrex”
Lemme hear… >>> Really likin’ tha intro beat!! “Cookin’ up a cookie;” luv how ya say dat, lol! Catchy hook, you “crooked” bastard, lol! Hearin’ tha 1st verse, and this tha flow I like from you! You describin’ your drug-related scenes, and you comin’ through wit your “pyrex”-filled rhymes! LOL, Mr. Gunplay “Santa” on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through “like a December day;” you already know! My Rating: 4.6


10. “Bible On Tha Dash”
LOL, what an ending, again!!! You already know wit this one!! My Current Rating: 5.0


Overall: Well, because all tha jointz on this mixtape got at least a 4.0 rating, this CD’s worth five stars wit me!! I thought it was nice; you had some real catchy jointz on here, but tha surprise of tha CD was tha Young Scooter collab!! Keep up tha great work; I’ll be on time fa tha new CDs, baleedat!!

Review #1,373: Gunplay "Cops & Robbers"

Reviewed on 1.26.2014 (Review #1,373)


It started gettin’ cold last night, so I just went to sleep and watched Last Days Of Left Eye on VH1. But now, time for anotha Gunplay review!! This one was released on January 18, 2013, off tha Maybach Music Group label, of course: Cops & Robbers! Looks like we on a mission ta run and rob, so I’m definitely lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this one!! Start Time: 11:07 AM | End Time: 12:08 PM

© 2014 CD Review (Review #1,373) reviewed on 1.26.2014 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Intro
Here we go!! >>> Thought it was country-soundin’ in tha beginning, but it sounds like classic rock; very random… My Rating: N/A


02. “Bet That” Feat. Pusha T
Now, here we go!! >>> Glad you “beat a life sentence,” though I don’t see why tha value of your “sentence” was “life;” it’s not like you murdered anyone… Anyway, sounds like a catchy hook from you, here! “And, you could bet that!” Reminds me of Trick Daddy’s song of tha same name from 2006, wit how you deliver tha hook! Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit that real shit, not that “make-believe” shit! Here you are on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some mo good shit, too! “Gotta overdose;” yea, “overdose” off this good shit ‘cause you constantly drop hot shit! Let’s hear “King Push” on tha 3rd verse, here… Nice and consistent wit how he comes through wit it! Great collaboration! He neva ages!! My Rating: 4.3


03. “Hold Me Back (Remix)” Feat. Rick Ross, French Montana, Yo Gotti & Lil’ Wayne
A remix, here; let’s see what we got… >>> LOL @ tha no listed features, like tha previous mixtape! Rick Ross on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit okay rhymes, though tha beat’s boring/typical-soundin’… Tha hook’s bleh; Ross on his repetitive shit, though I heard this from somewhere, once before. Here you are on tha 2nd verse, and I can dig your repetitive deliveries; they sound catchy! Here’s Mr. “Ain’t Worried About Nothin’” on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit catchy shit. I dunno why, but knowin’ that that song’s so played out, I think he does great wit guest appearances! LOL, Mr. “Cocaine On Delivery” (Yo Gotti) on tha 4th verse, comin’ through wit dat good, southern, gangsta shit! ROFL, Lil’ Tunechi on tha 5th verse, comin’ through wit a “chick” wit some “cramps,” lol… Rhymes are kinda simple/yada-yada… My Rating: 3.5


04. “Drop”
Okay, let’s hear this one! >>> I like your drum sound effects in tha background, here, on tha intro! Ooh @ when tha 1st verse came on; pretty good wit how you come through on it!! Tha hook sounds catchy, too; you and tha “sack!” It’s all about dat loud/good shit! Diggin’ tha 2nd verse wit all tha “who…” parts! Great job wit tha 2nd verse; good job wit this joint, overall!! My Rating: 4.4


05. “No Church”
Interestin’ title; “Bible On The Dash”-like? >>> Oh, you must have aggression on this one if it’s one of DMX’s beats from tha late ‘90s! Hearin’ tha hook, and it sounds catchy; prolly need a lil’ more aggression, so let’s see… Okay, pickin’ up throughout tha verse; feelin’ how you comin’ through on this track wit what you “got!” Pretty nice, overall! I like how you said it was “for tha cops” at one point, before tha end! My Rating: 4.2


06. “Definition Of A Plug” Feat. Yo Gotti
I like titles like this, especially collaborations like this!! >>> Nice-soundin’ beat, includin’ tha deep/screwed-soundin’ voice on tha hook! Great content!! “Drug life!” Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you, and yea, “can’t” come through “soft” wit anything “soft,” either; it’s all “hard!” Here comes Gotti on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit all dat good “plug”/drug shit! And, a 3rd verse from you, comin’ through live from tha “kitchen!” I like how you said, “Mr. Cocaine, baby;” ain’t that Yo Gotti’s title? Oh wait, you qualify, too, of course! My Rating: 4.5


07. “I’m A Shooter” Feat. Alley Boy
Lemme hear this! >>> Catchy beginning wit dat Alley Boy dude; nice shit! “Brrrrr, stick ‘em;” nice!! Good shit from him throughout tha 1st verse, here; he holdin’ tha streetz down!! Ooh @ how you startin’ tha 2nd verse wit, “Stick a muthafuckin’ for…;” catchy delivery in your voice, right chea!! Great job; y’all definitely did a nice job on this joint!! My Rating: 4.6


08. “Clique (Remix)” Feat. Rick Ross, Rockie Fresh & Big Sean
Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this, I think? Well, maybe just for tha Rockie Fresh collab… >>> Not a fan of Ross on tha 1st verse, but I’ll admit that he comin’ through consistent on this beat. Hearin’ tha hook, and I thought I recognized this title (Big Sean song); guess I’ll throw him on tha feature, too? Here you are on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some good shit; feelin’ what you say on tha track! Time for, what I like to call, Mr. “They Ain’t Wit Tha Twitter Shit; They Are Not Gon Type You”, lol (“Headquarters (Freestyle)”). Somethin’ about him that sounds catchy on tha voice; surprised I’m three years older than him. Either way, gotta feel him!! My Rating: 4.4


½time: So far, so good; gotta feel this mixtape, too, of course!! A 4.3 for tha CD rating, currently; you know what it iz!!


09. “Good Kush (Triple C Mix)” Feat. Triple C’s
LOL @ tha no “C’s”, but just a “C”… Either way, I recognize this title, and I know it ain’t “Kush”, but it still looks anticipatin’!! >>> Oh, redoin’ Lil’ Wayne, Drake & Future’s “Love Me” track; luv how Young Breed’s on tha hook!!! His “good kush” must be powerful!! Almost didn’t think this was tha actual “Love Me” beat—I guess ‘cause it’s so quiet on tha hook—but, it iz, and it sounds great! Ooh, “Gunplay” comin’ up next? Shout out ta this DJ on this track! Here comes tha 2nd verse from you, comin’ through wit a nice start to tha verse wit tha “horoscope!” Yup, wit Gunplay: “Every word he say iz true;” I agree/co-sign! Tha 3rd verse ain’t too bad, here; Torch comin’ through by “puttin’ you in tha soup!” My Rating: 4.5


10. “Ball (Remix)” Feat. Rick Ross
Tha T.I. track? Lookin’ forward, N.O. style? >>> Yup! I hear a Ross in tha beginning, so I assume he’s featured… For only 2:07, it’s kinda boring ta have Ross all ova this… Only 40 seconds of you… I’m feelin’ your delivery and what you bringin’ here iz catchy. LOL @ “she let me pee in her face;” that’s some true gangsta shit, right there!! My Rating: 3.1


11. “Daddy” Feat. Trina
Let’s hear this! >>> I like how it has almost tha same vibe as tha “Ball”, in tha beat! Great/catchy hook!! And, you on tha 1st verse sounds great, here; good, party shit! Here’s Trina on tha 2nd verse, supplyin’ tha track even more; nice! Ooh, a 3rd verse fit from you, comin’ through wit some good shit fa tha hoes! My Rating: 4.5


12. “Ghetto Bird”
Likin’ tha title, here… >>> Startin’ off by continuin’ from tha previous joint, as tha DJ introduces tha next joint, here… Sounds like some old, G-Funk-soundin’ beat from tha West Coast/‘90s, with somewhat-weaker quality. Either way, I’m diggin’ this vibe from you, comin’ through wit an interestin’ drug story, here! My Rating: 4.3


13. Ross Speaks
>>> Transitionin’ from tha same beat. Yea, “Gunplay a different kinda artist… he don’t care about awards;” true, same here! Though, I like him a lot betta than you, Ross! My Rating: N/A


14. “I’on Beg”
Yes, some “I’on” talk, here! >>> And, some of dat “Nuthin’ But A “G” Thang” beat, here; sounds good and consistent wit what you comin’ through wit, here! No need ta “beg!” Nice hook; no need ta “beg;” I now no longer apologize! My Rating: 4.1


15. “The Hard Way”
Kinda what I’m dealin’ wit, right now, as far as not havin ‘a job and havin’ only $200 left… >>> Catchy hook; yea, “they finna learn this shit tha hard way!” Consistent rhymes, here! I like how you said, “Hoes goin’ bizzerk,” and tha other shit right afta that! Lots of consistent rhymes, here, fa only one verse!! “Middle finga in ya madre;” luv it!! My Rating: 4.5


16. “Ghetto Symphony” Feat. A$AP Rocky
Lookin’ forward ta finally hearin’ this! >>> Nice start wit tha sample on tha hook! A$AP on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit good, consistent rhymes; not bad… I enjoy listenin’ ta him, though Music Choice: Rap still playin’ “Fuckin’ Problems” over all tha Gunplay songs ain’t what’s up, fa me! Here you are on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some good shit; feelin’ tha consistent, kick-ass rhymes!! My Rating: 4.3


17. Outro
Had a feelin’ it was just an outro, here… >>> A movie skit; nice, and fuck tha “cancer!” Huh? We have 40 seconds of silence? My Rating: N/A


Overall: Nice job wit this mixtape, too! Only one more left ta review from you! Hope you drop dat Living Legend soon!

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!

© 2014 CD Review (Review #1,372) reviewed on 1.25.2014 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Intro
! >>> Tha goal of gettin’ “high;” nice lil’ movie scene! My Rating: N/A


02. “Take Dis”
Lemme hear “dis!” >>> Sounds like a nice, smooth, Wu-Tang-like beat, so I’m anticipated! Time ta “take dis ta da brain;” nice beginning and hook! LOL @ losin’ a pound an hour; I wanna gain a pound in an hour! Only 115, here… :( Consistent rhymes; definitely diggin’ ‘em throughout tha verse! My Rating: 4.3


03. “Real Niggas” Feat. Rick Ross
Lookin’ forward ta re-hearin’ this! Tha 1st time you came up in a review, it was for this CD hosted by Kevin Gates. I reviewed it last August, and I skipped this song ‘cause of tha Ross hook/beginning! I only rated it a 1.0 since I skipped it! Little did I know who would save my life by gettin’ to tha soon-to-be future (Gunplay)! >>> Yea, tha Ross hook ain’t really for me, since I don’t really believe in him and his rhymes. Plus, he drills it in you, non-stop… But, here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit dat aggression!! Nice job on this beat!! Great start to tha 2nd verse wit you, comin’ through wit dat aggression, again!! Prolly would’ve been better if someone else was on tha hook. If only I would’ve known that previously, it was your song featuring Ross ‘cause it sounds like he helpin’ you out wit tha hook, from your perspective! Anyway, tha 3rd verse from you definitely sounds great, too!! Keep it comin’!! Much betta first complete listen!! My Rating: 4.3


04. “187 (Freestyle)”
… >>> Some oldness on tha beat, here; let’s see if this gon give me tha same vibe as The Game and his “400 Bars & Runnin’”—can’t believe that’s a decade old, now! And, this sounds pretty good; I’m feelin’ your consistency!! Great job doin’ tha damn thang on this beat!! My Rating: 4.4


05. “Crimnology (Freestyle)”
This looks like it gon be good… >>> I’m ready! Good rhymes in tha verse, so far… Glad you on “anotha molly!” Oh, a 2nd verse that appeared after a quick interlude; sounds nice and consistent! You only ‘bout dat gangsta shit/street shit, to tha fullest! Great “bitch-ass nigga” parts toward tha near-end of tha 2nd verse, as well as tha “boat”-rhymin’ words!! My Rating: 4.3


06. “I Got That Sack (Freestyle)”
Let’s see you and this “sack!” >>> Great shit, so far, ova this beat! Huh @ :28 - :29? *Opens up audio-editing program to re-reverse it…* Oh, “armed robbery warrant;” glad you beat them charges! I also like tha consistent “niggaz be…” shit you spittin’; keep ‘em comin’!! “I’m throwin’ rocks;” yeah!! My Rating: 4.2


07. “So Sophisticated (Remix)” Feat. Rick Ross & Meek Mill
Hmm… >>> LOL @ tha start to tha hook wit tha “she ackin’ like it’s all dat, and all dat, and all dat!” Good shit comin’ through from you on tha 1st verse, supplyin’ these chicks! ROFL, an unsourced Rick Ross on tha 2nd verse; funny how he wasn’t even listed on tha feature! As far as his verse, ehh…; a lil’ consistent, that’s it. And, got an unsourced Meek Mill on tha 3rd verse—oh, now I know this original version. As far as him, pure consistency wit tha rhymes and delivery, of course! My Rating: 4.3


½time: So far, seems like there’s a lotta great, consistent jointz on here wit mainly, tha same ratings! A 4.3 for tha CD rating, currently; keep deliverin’ dem jointz/freestyles, Gunplay!!


08. “Pop Dat (Freestyle)” Feat. Rick Ross, French Montana & Drake
>>> ROFL @ tha French Montana track! You sound great on tha verse, here; consistent rhymes! “Carol City Iraq;” lol! Whoo @ your consistency!! ROFL, anotha unsourced Ross? Oh wait, random voices from Ross, French & Drake on tha hook? I’ll include them in tha feature; why not? My Rating: 4.2


09. “Na Nigga” Feat. Sam Sneak, Trina & Tip Drill
Haven’t I heard this before? Ain’t realize there were features, so, I guess this iz a complete version, vs. a remix? >>> Yea, heard you remake this before. However, Trick Daddy’s boy, Trina, on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some good support fa you, Gunplay! Hearin’ someone on tha 2nd verse; they sound young. Talk about how they (“Drill”) “wanna see ID,” lol… Here you are on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit good shit. LOL: “Leave dem rubbaz on tha flo’;” Gun-to-tha-play, lol! “Still get head three ways;” you three-headed dragon, you, lol! And, an outro, here (Sam Sneak?)… My Rating: 3.6


10. $2 Special
Likin’ this title! >>> Oh, just a lil’ interlude wit music, lol… well, “I’ll suck ya dick for $2,” ending, lol. My Rating: N/A


11. “Take It Off (Freestyle)”
>>> Sounds like an okay beat ‘til you started rappin’ on it, where it sounds betta! Ooh, catchy hook wit tha “take it off, take it off, now go and make it off!” Glad how you lighted tha blunt ta get high at tha end! My Rating: 4.1


12. “Same Damn Time (Remix)” Feat. Rick Ross, Wale, Future & Meek Mill
LOL @ tha no features listed! >>> Oh…; not really crazy about Future, so let’s see what I gon say about this remix… Startin’ wit a Ross, comin’ through wit, you know, yada-yada… Here’s Ross on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit tha same yada-yada as tha hook… And, tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse from that friggin’ Wale, who Music Choice: Rap luvs!! Not bad; consistent, but not jaw-dropping fa my interest. And, tha original hook from Future, here…; whateva. This one of his better songs, though he a lil’ bit of a guilty pleasure fa me to enjoy, since sometimes, I listen ta him in tha background. Okay, a recovery with you on tha 2nd verse, Gunplay! Good rhymes/display of tha room, “here,” lol! And, a Meek Mill on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit tha “same damn” consistent deliveries! My Rating: 3.7


13. “Gullitine Swords (Freestyle)”
Oh, this iz on here! I remember watchin’ tha video you made fa this! Lemme give it an official review! >>> Intro sounds like part of tha music video, in a way. Of course, you comin’ through wit tha consistent rhymes, here!! I luv how you have two of you in tha music video; that multiple-person effect in a video iz what’s up!! My Current Rating: 4.6


14. “Bible On The Dash”
Thanx to an MTV Jams bumper, I heard this, but have seen tha title of yours appear, before. Before I even got ta hear it, I was like, “Don’t tell me this gon be over-holy.” Then again, I heard it, and I became addicted!!! Would play it non-stop while video-editing, converting, almost-falling-asleeping, lol! It ain’t a boring, depressing song! It’s somethin’ so catchy for tha streetz!! It ranked #8 on my Top 546 Songs of 2013 without entering my playlist, due to it bein’ too old for it! Think: #8 w/o a playlist appearance; you really did it big wit this one, Gunplay!!! Just gotta luv tha content you’re spittin’ on tha 1st verse, ova this beat!! It’s your life on a concrete track, here!! And, that hook: I luv how you say tha title part!! So damn catchy!!! “That’s why I roll wit tha bible on tha dash!!” And, tha 2nd verse, especially, “I ask tha pastor, ‘What’s tha fastest way to heaven for a bastard wit a tarnished past,’ give me an honest answer;” one of tha best lines!! I saw someone/some site highlight it, and I was like, “I don’t really go for highlighted shit, but this iz definitely somethin’!!!” Once again, excellent joint!!! Glad you “don’t make music for [your] fans;” I don’t, either!! I only do me!! My Current Rating: 5.0


15. Give Me Some Cash In My Hand
Clean? Oh wait, only an outro? >>> It iz; anotha movie skit, here… My Rating: N/A


Overall: Turned out ta be an excellent mixtape!! Mainly, there was freestyles and remixes, but you did a great job wit tha shit you brought to tha table!! And, of course, one of tha best endings wit tha “Bible On The Dash”!! Got two more left ta peep out of yours; lookin’ forward ta continuin’—neva want it to end!!

Review #1,371: Gunplay "Bogota Rich: The Prequel"

Reviewed on 1.25.2014 (Review #1,371)


Back to tha reviewz! My bad about yesterday; had an annoying brother of mine up my ass about payin’ me back from what he stole/borrowed from me, last summer, as well as bein’ threatened by where I interned at, where I was tryna get a job to get some money flowin’. I guess err-body hates my guts? Don’t know why… But, back to what I need, right now: Gunplay Bogota Rich: The Prequel iz my next review, released on March 9, 2012 on Maybach Music Group! Lookin’ forward, especially wit “Fuck Shit” bein’ on here!!! Start Time: 8:05 PM | End Time: 8:44 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!!

© 2014 CD Review (Review #1,371) reviewed on 1.25.2014 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Bitches Ain’t Shit (Freestyle)”
Startin’ off wit a freestyle, eh? Let’s see here… >>> Good, consistent rhymes ova this beat, here; feelin’ your “coke in tha nostrils” rhymes, lol! My Rating: 4.3


02. “I Got Dis (Freestyle)”
And, anotha freestyle, lol! >>> Sounds good; I like tha “coldest…Decembers,” though you ain’t dealin’ what I’m dealin’ with, as far as a winter! Hate this below-25-degree weather! I like tha “chill out” shit you sayin’ in tha hook. It almost made me think you was sayin’, “July,” ‘cause July’s your birthmonth! My Rating: 4.2


03. “Tats On My Arm”
Let’s see what we got, here… >>> Sounds like you rappin’ off a typical-soundin’ rap beat, here; decent, so far… Tha hook’s catchy, and I’m feelin’ your rhymes on tha verse, here. My Rating: 3.8


04. “Low Life” Feat. Triple C’s
LOL @ just IDin’ it as “Triple C”? A solo “C”, lol? You know I gon correct it! Let’s hear this collab!! >>> Beat sounds like some typical, Maybach Music-soundin’ shit, but it sounds anticipatin’ wit you on tha hook! Feelin’ this “low life” content and hook! Almost sounds like Logan “life,” at times, lol… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse, and you got some catchy shit, here, wit tha flow and err-thang. We got my boy Torch on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some good, street shit! That fuckin’ dawg, Young Breed, on tha 3rd verse; yeah!!! His “trap doin’ so good;” gotta luv his luck!! Wow, long ending echo wit 17 seconds? Oh, there’s a lil’ bit of, like, 11 seconds of silence… Echoing ending kinda reminds me of tha “Fuck Shit” ending! My Rating: 4.3


05. “M1 Here, M1 There”
Likin’ this title! >>> Ooh, sounds good! Feelin’ your “an M1 here, an M1 there;” nice, catchy hook!! Good shit you bringin’ to tha table on tha 1st verse; catchy shit! Keep this shit goin’… Good shit in tha 2nd verse, too! You analyzin’ tha whole scene!! My Rating: 4.5


½time: So far, this some good shit, of course! More of tha beats you chose sound more on tha typical, mainstream-soundin’ tip. But, can’t deny what you be bringin’ to tha table!! A 4.2 for tha CD rating, currently!!


06. “Lead Widdit (Freestyle)”
>>> Sounds good; feelin’ tha drug-related shit! “I’m in tha house wit thousands of pyramids;” nice! “You ain’t built fa this, cuzin;” true! Hook’s okay, but a lil’ gay wit tha lean—oh wait, it’s “lead;” neva mind. I mistook it for some dancin’ shit… My Rating: 4.2


07. “Jumpout”
Let’s see what we got… >>> Ooh, some serious street shit! LOL, 4 “S”es, I just said, unlike 3! I’m really feelin’ tha crazy hook and all tha shit goin’ on!! Tha 1st verse sounds pretty nice, too; you’re paranoid; you’re crazy; you’re insane; you’re Gunplay; you’re holdin’ it down fa tha streetz!! Wow, tha hook has screamin’ in it, too!! You would think this tha LA riots or somethin’, from tha ‘90s!! ROFL @ tha screamin’!! Tha 3rd—I think that’s what I’m up to—verse’s pretty crazy, too! “No Home Depot!” My Rating: 4.9


08. “Fuck Shit” Feat. Triple C’s
Whoa, my God!! You know what it iz with this one!! Though this iz March 2012, Music Choice: Rap got this in October 2013, and it brought tha excitement to me, for your music. This was tha 1st song I added of yours on my iTunes, and once my Gunplay phase started, just two months ago, this song took over!! Wish MCR was still playin’ this; only lasted a month on there. It put me in tha best mood when it’d come on! I have video on YouTube of me hearin’ it on MCR outta nowhere, goin’ crazy!
I got robbed a lil’ over two years ago, back in 2011, and tha dude had tha record for most #1’s & most #1’s in a row on my daily top 10 countdown! When “shit” like that happens, you neva think there’ll be a song for a long time that gon beat that record. However, then came “Fuck Shit”, and it was #1 on my top 10 for 57 dayz in a row—record setting!! It’s still tryna beat tha record for total #1’s, as it’s #1 on my top 10 as we speak!! Just yesterday, when all that “fuck shit” happened (explained at tha top of this review), it makes me appreciate this song even more! It’s one of tha best songs of this decade!! It made #2 on my Top 546 Songs of 2013 and #1 on my Top 50 Fall Anthems of 2013 video countdown; you gettin’ it in!! With that bein’ said, my feedback for this joint iz that tha beat’s so energetic/like you’re in tha middle of a war! And, it’s tha truth wit tha hook; so many fakes and “snakes!!” And, you bring it on tha 1st verse!! Such greatness you come through with!! “Frienemies;” gotta luv it!! You have such energy and aggression in your voice!! And, Young Breed comes through like a great druggie on tha 2nd verse, supplyin’ dat good shit! I like how y’all shot tha video in NYC. I’m on Long Island, but when I passed tha city comin’ down, from Northeast PA to Long Island, I saw a sign that looked like tha one in this music video; I thought of this video instantly! Tha 3rd verse iz Torch, and of course, I luv all his “fuck” parts; he really deliverin’ tha anger/real “shit!” “Fuck ya blog, fuck ya opinion!!” And, it’s been since November 4, 2012 that I’ve rated somethin’ a perfect score; you know this song gon get dat from me, right now!! I’m definitely dealin’ wit tha most “fuck shit!!!” My Current Rating: 5.0


09. “Stay Schemin’ (Freestyle)”
LOL, this song; I’m sure you gon do good on freestylin’ ta it! >>> Feelin’ what you comin’ wit on tha hook! Again, stickin’ to tha “not friends” shit! “A-One since day one;” I believe it! Of course, your “drum roll” iz catchy as fuck! “Brrr-rr-r-rr-ah!” Wow, this went by quick; I was used to tha regular length like “Fuck Shit”, fa a second, lol. My Rating: 4.3


10. “Food Chain”
This looks interestin’! >>> Catchy shit, despite it bein’ a typical-soundin’ beat! It’s you comin’ through wit your catchiness; luv this “food chain” theme! Tha 1st verse sounds catchier than tha hook; great delivery and motivation deliverin’ these rhymes!! “Lookin’ like I’m hangin’ off a branch;” whoo!! You makin’ me think of bein’ 12 stories up on tha Kings Park Psychiatric Center, sweatin’ from tha heights!! Just thinkin’ of that got my hands fucked up ‘cause my cousins actually hang/go by tha ledge of tha fuckin’ buildings; crazy!! Tha 2nd verse sounds great, too; consistent-delivered rhymes!! My Rating: 4.6


11. “Got Damn” Feat. Ace Hood & Torch
LOL, they got you on tha feature, here? Well, no need fa that since this iz your CD… Either way, definitely lookin’ forward ta this feature ta end this CD off!! >>> Catchy-ass hook; luv how repetitive tha title iz, like a Baton Rouge-soundin’ hook!! Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through like a crazy ape wit tha rhymes!! Diggin’ these rhymes a lot!! You really got tha delivery on lock!! Tha beginning of this CD needed some of these deliveries, in my opinion. But, gotta be pleased that you came through now! Ace Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit a “bad bladder,” lol! Good shit; he came through nicely!! Now, time fa Mr. “Fuck Ya Blog, Fuck Ya Opinion” on tha 3rd verse, lol! I like tha “dodge you” part; Torch doin’ tha damn thang, too! My Rating: 4.7


Overall: Lots of greatness, here!! I thought this was a great mixtape; it had some top-rating shit on here, as I was hooked!! You know what it iz, Gunplay!! Three more CD reviewz ta go!!

Review #1,370: DJ P-Cutta & Gunplay "Off Safety"

Reviewed on 1.23.2014 (Review #1,370)


Thought I was gon get through all nine CDs tonight, but too many distractions went on… Either way, I did pretty good for one day, still. This my 5th and final review of tha day: DJ P-Cutta & Gunplay Off Safety, released back on May 29, 2011 on Maybach Music Group! Now, because I’m stressin’ out about tha people at where I interned not answerin’ me about gettin’ hired, I may need to be ducked-off in tha morning, tomorrow morning. However, I will make it my best effort to try and do tha other four CD reviewz sometime tomorrow, if it doesn’t get too distracting! Start Time: 10:41 PM | End Time: 11:12 PM

© 2014 CD Review (Review #1,370) reviewed on 1.23.2014 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Intro Feat. P-Cutta
>>> Nice intro from P-Cutta. It says featuring, but since I consider him tha DJ of this CD, I’ll just leave tha feature out? Ehh, I’ll put it in… Also, nice speech sample in tha beginning… My Rating: N/A


02. “Rollin’” Feat. Rick Ross & Waka Flocka
I know this, and it’s #2 again? Well, since it says Ross iz featured, as well, I’ll re-review some of it… >>> Still sounds tha same, so I guess this iz a revamped version? As far as Ross’ feature, it’s just everything he “got,” which, I dunno how much ta believe… At least he got luv fa you, though. I’ll just rate this tha same as tha previous version… My Rating: 4.5


03. “No Arm & Hammer”
Ooh… >>> Sounds like one of tha lines from one of tha previous jointz I reviewed… Either way, great hook; you make this “no arm & hammer in my Hannah Montana” shit sound great! Great shit comin’ from tha 1st verse, too! “No Pepsi in my bottle;” lol… Tha 2nd verse’s nice, too; you’re real consistent wit this shit, right now!!! My Rating: 4.7


04. “Mask On”
Ooh!! >>> Diggin’ tha beat start; almost sounded like tha Short Bus Boyz’s “shiiiiiid who” sayin’ in tha intro…? Either way, definitely diggin’ this gangsta shit; anotha anthem, like tha “No Arm & Hammer”!! Tha 1st verse’s pretty tight; of course, you can’t be stopped!! Tha 2nd verse has got dat real shit, as well: “No luv in my city;” it’s everywhere, sadly. :( My Rating: 4.5


05. “Junkie”
Ooh, once again, lol! >>> More catchy shit; “junkie, junkie, junkie!!” Tha 1st verse’s soundin’ good, too; “anotha” everythang, right? Even got “her” “all on [your] salami,” lol! Consistency comin’ outta tha 2nd verse, too; whoo, luvin’ this mixtape, so far!! My Rating: 4.4


06. “Drum Squad”
! >>> Ooh, a “drum” imitation intro!! Definitely nice!! Wow, definitely a catchy hook wit dat “drum” imitation!!! Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through, just wantin’ shit easy; I wish it was easy… Good shit on tha 2nd verse, too! “I neva gave a fuck and neva plan to;” I feel dat!! I’m startin’ ta not give “a fuck,” these dayz… My Rating: 4.6


½time: So far, an excellent, consistent, catchy-ass CD, lol!! You got a 4.5 for tha CD rating, here!! Keep it up!!


07. Off Safety Interlude
>>> Sounds good; pretty serious wit this movie-like shit goin’ on… My Rating: N/A


08. “Skrate Up Menace”
I like tha title, here… >>> Might be my least-favorite outta tha jointz, so far; not tha craziest about this New York-soundin’ vibe, but tha hook’s catchy… Tha 1st verse sounds good; you got some real shit goin’ on, here… Tha 2nd verse has some good shit ta offer, too; not bad, overall… My Rating: 3.8


09. “Herbalist”
This file didn’t work, so I had to download it through YouTube… >>> I like tha title and tha herb-vibe hook, though I thought it would be a lil’ catchier? Lemme hear tha 1st verse from you… Sounds good wit tha “weed” content, but hearin’ “Kush” today, “Kush” sounds much catchier! Feelin’ tha 2nd verse wit tha “everyday’s a smokeathon!” Not bad for a verse and a track, overall… My Rating: 3.9


10. “She Know Wussup” Feat. Gudda Gudda & Young Breed
Anticipatin’ this collab!! >>> Good start, so far, though tha beat sounds like some bullshit someone would rap off of… Not bad wit tha 1st verse from you, here, as well as tha hook… Let’s see what we got from Gudda Gudda on tha 2nd verse (lol, not Ross, finally?)… Though I don’t anticipate Gudda, this okay ta listen to… LOL @ rhymin’ with “Gunplay.” Yes, Breed on tha 3rd verse and yes, we all know “[he] da shit!!” Good shit from him, here! My Rating: 4.0


11. “Wut They Yellin’”
Let’s hear it! >>> Sounds good fa tha start! “All they want iz Gunplay; all they want iz Gunplay! All they want iz—all they want iz—all they want iz Gunplay!!” Catchy shit, and tha 1st verse’s soundin’ pretty aggressive, lol… Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ good, too; err-thang gotta come ta you, Gunplay! My Rating: 4.3


12. Outro
! >>> Good outro from Cutta, though not on tha feature, here, lol? My Rating: N/A


Overall: Great job, Gunplay!! This gotta be my favorite mixtape of yours, so far, though tha shortest! Lookin’ forward ta tomorrow (hopefully), startin’ wit tha Bogota Rich: The Prequel! I know “Fuck Shit”’s on there; can’t wait ta let you know what I got ta say about that one!!
