Review #1,383: Black Noise Records "The Big Picture"

Reviewed on 3.13.2014 (Review #1,383)

Keepin’ tha reviewz goin’, up next iz Black Noise Records The Big Picture! This tha follow-up to 2011’s Back 2 Business mixtape, which was hosted by DJ Smallz. As always, Black Noise Records consists of people like BluBlack, Hannibal, S.O.S., Kidd, Blu3 Da Truth (BluBlack’s younger brother) & others. Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this one! Start Time: 10:26 AM | End Time: 3:00 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. BluBlack “BluBlack Freestyle”

Hope I can get through these reviewz… My room iz a mess from renovatin’ my closet/gettin’ rid of old shit. I can’t put my little heater on, due to shit everywhere, and it’s cold today:

But, let’s get this thang started and see how long I last, today! >>> Sounds like classic BluBlack right chea! Even a beat that sounds like he might’ve produced? Catchy-ass flow fa this freestyle, or should I say, sample of a new track? “Yeah!!” Classic Blu-soundin’ track, right there!! My Rating: 4.6

02. Hannibal Feat. BluBlack, Kidd & Reese Da Don “Nothing For A Mobster”

Looks anticipatin’, and it has that classic long length of 5:38 on tha length, kinda like tha “Dat Potion” dayz, wit tha four people! >>> So far, pretty nice wit tha hook! “Mobster, eatin’ lobster;” catchy hook, Hannibal! I’m definitely feelin’ it!! Tha beat sounds pretty nice, like tha ’02 dayz of Lil’ Flip & Chamillionaire “U See It”; #TBT!! Blu on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some consistent rhymes fa tha G-Lane! “A week ago” wit tha “purp;” nice!! A laughing Hannibal on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit “buku broads;” that’s what’s up! Even might be “on dat pill”? That’s what’s up, again! “Promethazine!” Such a catchy hook that you can’t deny!! “Mobster!!” “Lobster!!” Here’s Kidd on tha 3^rd verse, “tryna not be dat nigga pickin’ dandelions;” I feel ya! Ya gotta get that growth by gettin’ ya music out there! I hate people that “snitch;” I’m dealin’ with my brother’s snitchin’, as we speak! He gets so fucked up from me speedin’ 10 over tha speed limit, to where he has to whine to my mom to tell her I smoke weed, at times, and had found a crack pipe while lottery ticket hunting! He even smashed it against my bed, glass all over, and I was crying! Fucked up!!! Okay, I hear just a beat, right now, after tha 3^rd verse; where iz Reese? Or, iz he on tha hook wit Hannibal? Can’t exactly tell, since there was a long beat outro and I thought I’d hear a verse… My Rating: 4.8

03. BluBlack Feat. Slugga “So Tired”

Don’t think I’m 100% familiar wit this Slugga…; I know there’s one outta tha N.O., though. >>> Sims doin’ tha beat, but why that gay-ass auto-tuned tag from so long ago? You realize it’s 2013, here? Anyway, nice beat, not depressin’, and Blu sounds good on tha hook! Yea, “I’m so tired” of this Pennsylvania bullshit life I’m livin’ wit no job! Ugh! Blu on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through, “fuckin’ make it happen” iz his perspective; I feel him! “Black dread head, tattoos, plus gold teeth;” that’s tha look right there!! Blu one of tha best in Louisiana!! Been fuckin’ wit him since December 2008!! Nice job wit tha 1^st verse; hope you travel again soon, Blu! I know you got a lot goin’ on fa ya age! And, it’s your birthday in five dayz; lookin’ forward to wearin’ blue & black, again! Wearin’ all blue, right now! Here’s this Slugga—oh wait, from Da Gremlins?—on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some gutta street shit, here! I hope all this braggin’ about his status—though, I’ve neva heard of him, I don’t think?—iz worth connectin’ wit me! And, like he says, “out tha gate!” My Rating: 4.6

04. BluBlack Feat. Dogg & Classik “Loud”

No preview. >>> It iz; that’s why, I didn’t have a preview. He doesn’t like Instagram comments and deleted mine about gettin’ high twice, though he attracted people to comment on him gettin’ high! I don’t get it, so I just want money from this point on! And, even more pathetic how I remember: Four dayz ago was a ½ decade since I first talked to Dog Da Cutthroata… Anyway, tha hook’s pretty nice wit all tha “loud” shit, and Dogg’s on tha 1^st verse… Can I get some HAIM?! Either way, it’s jammin’, so I can’t front on scorin’ it good, but it was a good contribute. I just don’t get why he’s allergic to Instagram comments?! We got Blu on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit a good “smell” of “loud;” shit yeah! “Fulla dem drugs; ‘bout ta pull up at Dreams;” go, Blu! Keep clubbin’!! Sooner or later, I’ll get to Louisiana and finally get ta enjoy y’all’s partyin’ lifestyles!! Shout out ta Greg Johnson fa likin’ tha pic I posted about doin’ tha live review ‘cause we got Classik on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit a gutta voice, on dat shit!! He sounds like tha dude that robbed a ½ stack off of me, but we’ll just focus on Classik, since it’s 2014, right now! Nice “smokin’, blowin’ doe-doe” at tha end! Jammin’ beat, too!! My Rating: 4.5

05. BluBlack & S.O.S. “Dime Bread Diva”
Keepin’ it goin’… >>> Definitely diggin’ tha beat start, right chea! I like that it’s 22 seconds!! Classic-soundin’ Blu catchiness on tha hook, right chea!! Sounds like he’s havin’ sooooooo much fun wit this “dime bread diva,” or should I say, divas!! Real catchy!!! Tha 1^st verse from Blu sounds hella catchy, too!! “I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T,” you know! Of course, this sound takes me back to tha Code Blu dayz; I’m real glad I’m reviewin’ it live, right now!! Here’s S.O.S. on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit tha Blu/Black Noise flow, and I’m feelin’ it! Great shit; just luvin’ how he comin’ through wit tha flow, also!! My Rating: 4.9

06. BluBlack, A.R., Classik & Secret “Choosin’”

Hmm… >>> I assume that’s a BluBlack beat tag, also (“Blu Bleezy, huh?”)? This sounds catchy as fuck, once again!! Of course, jealousy attracts “choosin’”-ass people!! Sounds like a leftover track from A+B+C = Da Formula, only better than that whole CD? Blu on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit catchy shit, once again; he luv gettin’ fucked to tha bone!! I luv when he raps about “weed” and them pillz and shit; glad he always gon have dat in his blood!! “Ice cold, subzero,” just like tha temperature outside that sucks!! Here comes tha long, lost A.R. on tha 2^nd verse; been a long while since I heard him last. Sounds like a great verse, also; glad he doin’ his thang! He only, like, 24 now; still supa young—well, we’re all in our 20’s, except a few of us… Yea, some of us are in our early 30’s, you know what I mean? Hearin’ tha 3^rd hook and it sounds more soulful fa tha south, in a great way! Classik on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit catchy rhymes; he supplies that 3^rd in A+B+C! Fuck dat “myth,” if it’s negative about “big niggaz in tha club;” anybody can get it!! Aight, well, Blu had tha best verse/that hook, though tha super-obsessive excitement kinda got watered down wit tha other two verses, fa me. Either way, real nice track!! My Rating: 4.7

07. Secret, BluBlack, Sims On Tha Track, Hannibal & Reese Da Don “Smoke Break (Interlude)”

A long interlude, this time! Let’s see what y’all got goin’ on, here… >>> Ray Charles in tha beginning? Like, a gangsta version of him? A beat, here… It sounds pretty nice and relaxin’… I wish, Blu: “24 hours a day!” Wow, this feels great!! I don’t usually rate interludes, but because this has, at least, a hook, I almost wanna rate it!! Well, call of tha devil, Blu rappin’ at 2:13 or somethin’! Feelin’ all tha “purple haze” and drugs, when it comes ta weed! I wish I lived wit you, Blu!! I always wish I lived wit Yola!! Sims comin’ through wit rappin’, too! As always, gotta luv his southern, gutta voice! Nice how tha beat reverses! Hannibal on tha 3^rd verse, here; gotta put him after Sims, on tha ID! Feelin’ his “blowin’” obsession, whether it’s weed, or, yes, tha “bitches!” Okay, Reese, a verse? Did I miss him again? My Rating: 4.8

08. BluBlack “Lay It Down”
>>> Sounds like a different kinda style beat I’m anticipatin’!! Just luv tha production and sounds at all times!! That classic G-Lane sound!! Hook’s pretty catchy as fuck; “lay it down!!” I’m layin’ “down” tha live review, as we speak!! Blu on tha 1^st verse, always “real!” “Palm fulla ass;” did I hear right? I know you make this shit sound catchy as fuck! I’m definitely feelin’ how Blu comin’ through on this like it’s some classic Gotta Get It One Way-type shit! So, your result ta tha haterz, or whateva, iz “dat dick look,” huh? I guess so…; get ‘em, Blu! “I am tha V.I.P.;” you already know, Blu!! King of Gardere Lane!! “If you scared, go to church” iz like tha Ice Cube song from 2006; I would hope this ain’t 2008 or somethin’… I’m just bein’ sarcastic, but you neva know what’s left behind! My Rating: 4.7

09. BluBlack, Hannibal & Sims On Tha Track Feat. Bella “Foot In The Game”

Lookin’ forward ta this giant? >>> Nice beat and BluBlack intro! Tha Bella chick on tha hook sounds like someone y’all randomly picked up; pretty nice fa tha undaground! And, Blu & Hannibal doin’ a nice job on tha 2^nd ½ of tha hook, too! Blu’s on tha 1^st verse wit dat “medicine;” yeah! Though you think your “jail record” “fucked” you up, Blu, at least you have a job! I’ve had a Master’s Degree for 20 months, and I still don’t have a job! Bitches be manipulatin’ my ass; WTF?! Hannibal on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit dat fresh style! “Laughin’ at these pussy niggaz;” I feel ya! People becomin’ so “pussy” these dayz, between bein’ cheap and not makin’ me a priority! I’m glad y’all still believe in me! “Twistin’ blunts” on tha hook, Hannibal; gotta luv it!! And, WTF @ tha 3^rd verse; Bella soundin’ too fucked up on dat auto-tune; yuck as fuck!! I say it’s dudes masturbatin’ in each other’s ears/suckin’ each other’s dicks, but if it’s a chick, it just sounds toooooooo gay; bring out tha lesbian vibe wit dat a-tune shit, smh! Sims on tha 4^th verse (or, 2^nd ½ of tha 3^rd verse), and it’s soundin’ good on this track! At least it’s a normal voice, despite his tag! Fuck, not again wit tha outro shit; that’s twice, now!! My Rating: 3.2

10. BluBlack & Hannibal Feat. Baby B “Hoez & Niggaz”

This, too, I’m lookin’ forward to! I’m likin’ how B has red/pink-like hair, now! I guess my wish came true from, like, three years ago, when I talked about her bein’ “candy” or somethin’, lol? >>> “BluBlack!! Louisiana!!” Beat’s pretty serious, like, on some gutta, Nu$$ie-like beats, here!! Diggin’ how Blu comes through on tha 1^st ½ of tha hook wit tha “suckin’” people, as well as B comin’ through on tha 2^nd ½ of tha hook; nice collab!! Blu on tha 1^st verse, feelin’ “hypnotized!” “Only give her ass a 6,” huh? Kinda sounds like how I felt about tha auto-tuned track, previously! And yea, from a 10, a 6 iz, like, a 3 when these ratings are based off of 5 stars! I luv how Blu always says, “Hoez, hoez,” while B always says, “Niggaz, niggaz;” great collaboration!! And, she’s on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some crazy shit from tha hood!! Out The Mud-certified, right chea!! “Shitty-ass;” that’s right! Tha end of tha 2^nd verse, where she says, “You wrong,” almost reminded me of The Notorious B.I.G. and his “Dead Wrong”. I dunno, just tha “wrong,” I guess… Uh oh, “bouncin’ through tha club” wit Hannibal on tha 3^rd verse, here, not “playin’ not games!” He finna “scoop up ya dame,” though she, “White as cocaine;” nice!! Even “Ralph Lauren!” My Rating: 4.6

½time: So far, an excellent CD from Black Noise Records, formerly Entertainment, formerly Music! I’m definitely feelin’ tha classic vibes of tha 2008 BluBlack wit tha Code Blu and Gotta Get It One Way-type shit!! Blu had been a lil’ off tha radar wit me when I was goin’ through my troubles of gettin’ robbed a ½ a stack, but I’m glad he’s officially back!! Like, it’s official!! And, tha way y’all comin’ up wit these tracks are excellent!!! So far, tha average CD rating’s a 4.5!!! Wish y’all didn’t ruin it wit tha auto-tune, but, like I do wit tha live reviewz, I gotta call y’all and see what’s up!! First, Hannibal! *Calls* Thanx fa pickin’ up, Hannibal, and I’m glad you really appreciate this live review, so far!! You only heard what’s been goin’ on, not seein’, so when you see it, best believe it, ya heard me?! And, S.O.S. didn’t pick up tha phone, just now, so I finna move on wit tha review…

11. Hannibal & BluBlack Feat. Disco “Blood Money”

Looks pretty serious… Disco been M.I.A. for a long while, now (at least a ½ decade). He was on MySpace, though I neva even seen him on Facebook. Now, it’s Instagram time; wonder when he gon get back on track? I neva still talked to him, before… But, I’m definitely lookin’ forward to this collab!! >>> “Bullshit”? Takin’ a sample wit tha “blood money” and “drug money;” now, it sounds anticipatin’!! Not tha lack of anticipation fa when I hear “money” jointz ‘cause of me gettin’ robbed! Pretty long hook, here; 46 seconds in, still! BluBlack on tha 1^st verse, gettin’ “it, thug!” Luv when y’all say, “thug!” Comin’ through wit tha “tool,” though it jammed! Nice “Hannibal” set of rhymes, too! “Ta ya knees, I’m shittin’;” I feel ya! Gotta luv when people shit! Got Hannibal on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit a more-energetic voice, right chea! Nice shit; I definitely feel ya! Sounds like an interlude in tha middle, before tha 3^rd hook? Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ Disco!! A victim of tha gun, but he comin’ through wit dat classic-soundin’ G-Lane shit!! Great job, y’all; nice collaboration!! My Rating: 4.5

12. BluBlack “Too Real”

At least Blu iz, though, because of other bullshit artists, I’m not a fan of this title, technically. >>> Sounds anticipatin’ wit tha “go, go!” chants! Beat’s pretty nice; I can feel it!! A serious-soundin’ joint, here, fa tha streetz!! “You like new gifts,” when it comes ta Blu openin’ y’all on tha 1^st verse, right chea; serious!! Consistent rhymes fa tha streetz; gotta luv it!! So jammin’ on tha hook when you say, “Shit get too real,” and then rhyme it, repetitively!! I remember when you “was stupid wit dem jiggaz;” honestly, I feel like you should still be a fool wit ‘em! Neva lose your attributes! Either way, nice job on this 2^nd verse, too! My Rating: 4.6

13. Hannibal, BluBlack & Reese “Boom!”
Yup! >>> Interestin’ production; reminds me of Quikkdraw, J Buc & Nu$$ie’s “I Bleed Dis”, produced by J Buc, from years ago! Sounds pretty serious, here, “in tha club” wit Hannibal on tha hook!! It has that anticipation like a C-Murder old beat, mixed in wit tha G-Lane paranoia!! Got Hannibal on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit his G-Lane shit, “puffin’ on da best;” you already know it’s paranoia at its finest, right now!! “Niggaz wit attitudes, like Cube in tha ‘80s;” that’s right, Hannibal! N.W.A.! Just luv tha energy on tha hook!! Y’all need ta fly up here and go to tha Kings Park Psychiatric Center; that’s where I got high for tha 1^st time, and it’s a great place for footage, videos, explorin’, and more!! Blu on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some serious shit! What made me think of Kings Park was ‘cause of tha vibe of this track! Blu’s “dick iz like a tree;” ladies, you already know what ta do wit it!! A long-lost Reese on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through as a Mystikal relative!! Cousin, if I’m not mistaken? It’s been a while… “From tha N.O. to tha B.R.,” just like DJ 5150 & Dre, right? My Rating: 4.7

14. BluBlack “Up There”

Glad this still made tha cut! It was first featured on my Tha Louisiana Archives Vol. 14: Important Artists Only! mixtape I dropped last year, on my birthday. Usually, I just post tha current rating, but since this iz an important review, I’m just gonna re-review it for tha hell of it… Just luv tha hypnotic sounds of tha beat; too crazy!! Would’ve done better with me last year, if I wasn’t in my DJ B-Real funk/what I like to call, “Heroin addiction!” Tha hook’s catchy wit Blu comin’ through wit a singin’-like voice; definitely diggin’ it!! And, comin’ through on tha 1^st verse as a mission: You “gotta get it up there!” Tha 2^nd verse iz consistent, too; gotta luv how Blu comes through like it’s your “lunch;” you must have this in your DNA—systems, whateva!! My Current Rating: 4.8

Intermission: It’s 11:47 AM, right now, and because I gotta eat, charge my camera, rip tha footage, and I’m runnin’ outta space, I need to take a quick break. See ya in a few minutes, hour, whateva… Aight, it’s 2:28 PM, now, after I took a brief nap, ripped tha footage I already took, ate, and am now back to doin’ tha review! Let’s see what’s next!

15. BluBlack & Kidd “Teardrops”
I dunno why, but I’m lookin’ forward… Even got Baton Rouge stamped on tha length, here (2:25)! I wonder if that was planned, lol? >>> Beat’s pretty serious, on a Baton Rouge tip; luvin’ tha hook, once again, Blu! Catchy hook wit this “teardrop” you don’t want to come out! Here’s Blu on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some G-shit fa tha G-Lane! “What goes around, comes around;” I hope that’s tha case fa those that took advantage of me, smh! Diggin’ tha catchy, classic vibe, once again!! Here’s Kidd comin’ through on tha 2^nd verse; consistent G-Lane shit, right chea! Crazy wit tha “body bag” action! My Rating: 4.5

16. BluBlack & Needy Nee “Really Doe”
Needy neva thanked me for her 2009 awards; been a long minute? >>> Anotha tag from you; of course, you definitely ownin’ tha production on this CD!! “Really doe;” definitely feelin’ tha classic catchiness!! Just so you know: I remember #16 on tha Code Blu CD bein’ tha “On Dem Pillz”! So, you know you got tha females always on lock wit tha #16 features, Blu!! Here’s Needy on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some great shit fa G-Lane, no matta what year it iz!! Definitely feelin’ her consistency on tha track, comin’ through wit that nice club vibe!! Dem “hoes” tryna “suck [Blu] out [his] Dickies;” dumb shit!! Blu goin’ nuts on tha 2^nd verse wit err-thang goin’ on wit this wild party!! I definitely feel it and still anticipate goin’ ta one of these, in tha future! Nice ending wit that trumpet, or whateva, ta end tha beat off, too! My Rating: 4.6

17. Hannibal, BluBlack & Sims On Tha Track “60 Seconds”

More like 303! >>> Nice beat start; almost has a sound in it from Gorilla Zoe’s “Hood Nigga” track, from ’06/’07? It’s anotha catchy Blu hook, once again; keep tha repetitiveness comin’ along!! Just “one minute” iz all Blu needs!! And, we got Hannibal on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through as tha attraction—center of attention! Hannibal really inta this track, right chea; he just luvs life!! More than “60 seconds!!” Tha king himself, Blu, on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through, “higher than an Indian;” “hee-mon-e-ah-gah,” just like my text message alert!! Good shit on tha 2^nd verse, Blu, strictly deliverin’ it in, a lil’ ova 50 “seconds,” since 12 bars on a 80 beats-per-minute track’s 48 “seconds;” this iz 70, so it’s a lil’ longer! Sims on tha 3^rd verse, gettin’ it in wit y’all; I feel great that he fits in wit y’all! At least he a normal and not an anti-social producer!! Also, not a private producer, smh!! My Rating: 4.4

18. Hannibal “Soulja Forreal”

A solo joint, here… >>> I like how he has tha Blu-like flow on tha hook, though I’m neva always fantasized by tha “money” rhymes/obsession—and, here we go wit tha 1^st verse, startin’ off wit “gettin’ money;” *yawn* It’s catchy, and I can dig it, at least, but I don’t fuck wit this kinda shit if it’s someone else, you know what I’m sayin’? Hannibal’s “face iz like a coupon” ta start tha 2^nd verse off; that’s betta, fa me, at least! I wish my brother would listen to you, and not smash fuckin’ pipes and shit by snitchin’! No one can ruin my reputation, now, as a near-26-year-old!! My Rating: 4.2

19. BluBlack & Hannibal “Top Dolla”
Let’s see, here… >>> Catchy beginnin’ beat, here, wit Blu on tha intro! Tha hook sounds pretty catchy, too; can’t deny these jointz!! If somebody hatin’, fuck them in their giant—or wait, small asshole!! Catchy rhymes in tha 1^st verse, Blu; glad you still on ya grind, despite tha “felon” shit! I’m glad it didn’t ruin you, and I’m glad you’re still around!! Hannibal on tha 2^nd verse, just luvin’ these dog hoes! And, a nice lil’ outro in tha background from Hannibal, on tha last four seconds! My Rating: 4.4

20. Nina Boy a.k.a. Yung 9 Feat. Hannibal “Night-Time In My GTO”

Originally, y’all didn’t have “GTO” capitalized, but I fixed it. Though I’m not up-to-par about knowin’ everything about cars, I knew about this. I’m lookin’ forward, includin’ hearin’ this Nina Boy dude! >>> Sounds like a Ja Rule-like, R&B/Hip-Hop intro beat… Iz he a G-Lane representa? Tha hook ain’t bad, but again, on tha “money” tip… Here’s tha 1^st verse from him, on that “money” shit, again… However, he’s got a real catchy voice and sounds like he’s from tha streetz, so I’ll give him a plus, here! If he “ain’t goin’ broke,” I hope he got some money ta spend on me fa promotion; I don’t charge a lot, at all! I wanna give err-body tha chance!! That flow reminds me of Lil’ Reese & Waka Flocka Flame wit their “Money Stackin’” joint, which, guilty pleasure wise, I don’t mind listenin’ ta that. I guess it’s ‘cause it’s a withdrawal from tha fake undaground people I was dealin’ with. Hannibal on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit catchiness; gotta feel how he grindin’! This ain’t too bad, overall; credit from ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog! About 40 seconds on tha beat outro, here… My Rating: 4.2

21. BluBlack & Billion Dollar Blu “Days Like This”

How we gon end this wit these two brothers, lol? >>> Sounds like Blu’s quoting/remaking an old song wit tha, “Mama said, ‘There’d be days like this.’;” it’s good wit tha vibe, though! It sounds like some nice, soulful, Baton Rouge-like shit, and wit Blu on tha 1^st verse, it sounds like some nice, street shit! LOL, “Tha one who put me on weed;” I feel ya! That may be you, and wit weed, all it took was some masturbatin’ ta get me ta *inhales*, lol! Yup, March 5, 2009 @ 9:59 PM; can’t forget tha date/time ‘cause I remember, when it was 10 (9 PM, Louisiana time), tha minutes on tha phone would be free, and it was only one minute away—“60 seconds,” like Blu says! We got Blu3 rappin’ on tha 2^nd verse, Blu’s younger brother, and it sounds good. He’s got a young-type of BluBlack, here! I think his age, at this point, was tha same age when I first heard BluBlack on Code Blu; interestin’… My Rating: 4.3

Overall: Well, in two exact hours, at 5:01 PM, it’ll be tha six-year anniversary of me gettin’ tha ID of a track to know who Meek Mill was, back on March 13, 2008 @ 5:01 PM; classic times!!

And, six years later, I reviewed this The Big Picture CD live on camera!! I think it fits tha history pretty well! So, we got tha Meek Mill discovery in ’08, findin’ a $40-winning scratch-off in tha garbage in ’09, and now, this fa ’14! Keep tha great moments comin’, y’all; all y’all did a great job on this CD!! I thought I’d hear Obeeze—how’s he doin’? Either way, great job gettin’ who y’all got on this CD! Y’all definitely did a great job, and BluBlack proved ta make a comeback, as this had that great, 2008-like vibe/fun times to it, and I’m definitely diggin’ it ‘cause you shouldn’t let that sound go to waste!! Keep ‘em comin’, Blu! Happy early birthday ta you, and happy early birthday ta Toke, who’s birthday’s on Sunday, tha 16^th!
