Got
one more review before a record label comes to visit me! This review gon be my
1,414th review: Street
Certified Muzic Presents I Love My Hood
(Da Mixtape)! A label by KarlWayne from G-Lane, this looks like it gon
be a Gardere Lane
compilation? I will find out when I review this! But, real quick: This ain’t
sellin’ any copies in tha hood? Tha total length of tha CD’s 1:20:06, only six
seconds longer than tha maximum CD length! What gives? Start Time: 9:59 PM | End
Time: 7:50 AM
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 two artists who claimed their “money [was] long,” 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!!

reviewed on 8.10.2014 & 8.11.2014 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01.
Jigg-Three Feat. Lil’ Josh “My Neighborhood”
Looks
like this gon be great ta start this off! Who iz this Josh? This ain’t tha
“Jigga Juice” one, iz it? >>> A real-nice hook!! Definitely feelin’
this beat and this G-Lane vibe! LOL, tha dayz of when I fucked wit Louisiana music tough;
surprised niggaz still fuck wit me… But, mentionin’ tha label, I think there’s
true luck wit reviewin’ G-Lane CDs before real-great moments occur! Like, I
reviewed tha The Big Picture CD, and
I got called in for my 1st job interview tha next day, which later
became my job! Now, I’m reviewin’ this and tomorrow, a label’s comin’ ta do a
magazine article on me!! Hearin’ tha 1st verse (Lil’ Josh?) and it’s
tight; great vibes fa tha 225! That
hook’s just so catchy wit tha “In my
neiiiighborhooood” shit repeatin’! Tha 2nd verse has a nice voice
and shit goin’ on. However, it sounds a lil’ off-beat throughout tha 1st
part of tha verse… A long beat outro, here; nice ta have… My Rating: 4.6
02.
BluBlack Feat. Hannibal & Ar’Jay “F.W.M.”
That
“Don’t F.W.M.” song? *Checks* Yup,
with Ar’Jay on this joint, too. My
Current Rating: 3.4
03.
KarlWayne “Up There”
04.
Lil’ Josh “Street Nigga”
Yeah!
>>> Interestin’ beat; beat seems a lil’ slower than a faster G-Lane
vibe… “I don’t give a fuck if they sign me;” a nice, underground perspective,
here. I’ve always felt tha same way about myself; I’ve neva wanted to blow up.
This label comin’ to interview me tomorrow’s a great opportunity; I dunno what’ll happen! Exposure’s great, though
I always wanna be an undaground nigga. Tha 1st verse sounds pretty
good, here; props fa Josh fa representin’! Tha 2nd verse has G-shit
in it; diggin’ it… My Rating: 4.0
05.
Drien Feat. KarlWayne “Play With Me”
Looks
anticipatin’… >>> Nice screwed sample on tha hook about bein’ a
“gangsta!” Hearin’ Drien on tha 1st verse, and it almost sounds like
that Young Maniac dude, I think? It’s been a minute… As for me hearin’ this, it
sounds pretty nice… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse (KarlWayne?) and it’s just
as good; really diggin’ tha G-shit in tha rhymes! Can’t escape dat “choppa!” My Rating: 4.2
06.
Beezy Bird Feat. BluBlack & Needy Nee “Bring ‘Em Out”
Yeah!!
>>> Sounds kinda good in tha beginning, except tha “money long” shit…
Hearin’ Beezy on tha 1st verse, and it sounds like tha good ol’
times of me bein’ 20 & 21, when I used to fuck wit G-Lane tha most. Diggin’
how he brought back tha “I’m drinkin’, and I’m smokin’” shit that Down Bad had;
way ta go, Beezy! You still a real-cool dude! Got Blu on tha 2nd
verse; still soundin’ good wit his delivering-“X” rhymes! He even said, “Fulla
dem pillz;” yay @ 28! Keep poppin’! I’m now 26 and I’m finally hangin’ out at
least once a week, includin’ gettin’ fulla dat shit! Needy slipped in on tha 2nd
½ of tha 2nd verse; sounds good fa these Gardere streetz… My Rating: 4.3
07.
Yola No Soda “Trap House”
New
name? You know how he does! So great to get high at least once a week,
now-a-dayz! I can’t believe I did today, worked, and have been up since 3:14
AM—that’s 19 hours, without a nap!! Lots of motivation and perseverance!!
>>> Not much time on this track, here, but it’s soundin’ good fa a
start. That mixin’ can get confusing in tha beginning, between playin’ parts
and rewindin’ it back. Anyway, tha 1st verse’s pretty good, and tha
hook sounds catchy, especially fa tha “trap!” How can you not luv Yola? Tha 2nd verse starts off good wit “eatin’
stuffin’ every day like it’s Thanksgiving.” Consistent rhymes; gotta luv
err-thang that comes outta his mouth! My
Rating: 4.5
08.
Bando Bert Feat. Jigg-Three “Trap”
Lookin’
forward ta this collab, too!! >>> Beat sounds a lil’ different, here,
still with a club vibe, and it’s nice. Tha hook’s pretty catchy; really diggin’
that voice! Delivery’s catchy as fuck, once again! Tha 2nd verse’s
great; really diggin’ this voice, once again! Sounds great wit this delivery; oh, I fuckin’ luv it!! Gonna be close
between tha Yola song and this; who will win tha tie-breaker? My Rating: 4.5
09.
Kris “Boot Nigga”
Small
name; could lead to a lot? >>> A female? Sounds like a watered-down
version of what could be bounce music, but tha rappin’ on tha 1st
verse ain’t too bad… Tha hook’s straight; likin’ tha repetitive parts… Now, tha
2nd verse sounds more feminine? Iz a feature missing? Anotha decent
verse… Tha 3rd verse iz whateva, too; a lil’ boring, but it’s
somethin’ that’s listenable and okay, at least. My Rating: 3.5
10.
Bizzak Man Feat. KarlWayne & Vic Boi “Mind Right”
Here’s
Bizzak (spelled like that, I was originally told? Y’all have it as “Blizack”,
lol…), with a nice lineup! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this joint! >>> Kickin’
it off wit a KarlWayne verse; pretty nice! Catchy rhymes wit his “mentality!”
Some singin’ on tha hook (Bizzak?)? Interestin’ catch to this track; props fa
tha cool voices! Here’s tha 2nd verse (Vic Boi?), comin’ through wit
a lotta “blue-black” references, lol. Yeah, it now sounds like a Bizzak Man verse,
on tha 3rd verse, here! Lots of catchy rhymes; sounds like tha
hidden Baton Rouge
version of Stalley, with tha delivered rhymes, here! Nice job, overall! My Rating: 4.2
½time: So far, pretty nice and
consistent! Really diggin’ how theres’s so many different artists, on tha
tracks! Big ups to err-body on this CD, comin’ through wit their great voices,
deliveries and song styles! Tha average CD rating’s at a 4.2, currently; how will it end,
lol? I hate to cut it short fa a sec, but I’m really tired, and need to lay down fa a lil’ bit… Takin’ a break at
10:43 AM, almost 19 ½ hours to tha minute! We’ll see what time I wake up!
*Takes break* Damn, I had a broken-up sleep, tha whole time; I couldn’t stay
up, so it’s now 7:07 AM on August 11… Either way, I’m glad I’m awake, though I
got only five hours ‘til my special visit!
11.
G-Lane Steve Feat. KarlWayne “Window”
Don’t
think I’ve heard of tha main artist, though I think we might be Facebook
friends… >>> Sounds like mo great shit from tha undaground; nice beginning,
though I still don’t think that’s cool mixing, by providing a sneak peek in tha
beginning. That shit started on Lil’ Phat’s Death
Before Dishonor and should’ve just ended there! Feelin’ this hook wit tha
whole “peekin’ out tha window” shit! And, tha 1st verse’s kinda dry
on tha delivery. Also, bad mixing from 1:10 – 1:19; sounded like skipping,
instead. Shit @ 1:40 – 1:48 wit tha mixing, again! I don’t mind tha rapper on
tha 1st verse, but he doesn’t have any energy in his voice… LOL @
Mr. Karl on tha 2nd verse, “Duckin’ from tha cops.” LOL, if you’re
me, on dat kush, and you’re roamin’ around an abandoned area, you see a cop
outside, and you just pull your camera out; worked fa me! Just act like you’re
gettin’ footage! No wonder why I’m a Lucky Dog! Shit @ 3:12 – 3:20; stupid
‘skip-mixin’’! My Rating: 4.3 (a generous rating ‘cause of tha catchy hook)
12.
Ryco Hu$$le Feat. Piper Rogers
“I Kept Quiet”
Name
changes, here: Ryco Hu$$le originally went by D.$.G., and Piper Rogers was just
Piper. Both of them were a part of tha group, C-4. Now, here’s a portion!
>>> This one starts off not blended, which sounds betta… “No regrets;”
that’s right, even wit tha continuous amount of shit I’ve dealt with! I guess
all that shit I dealt with lead up to tha label visiting me? Either way,
hearin’ Hussle on tha hook and all this “I do it all again” shit sounds good;
catchy hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse, and I’m diggin’ tha street vibes
from him; you know what it iz… Catchy rhymes; didn’t sound like typical shit
err-body else spits, so I appreciate him fa bein’ in a different lane, but
stayin’ in dat Lane! On tha 2nd
verse, too? I must’ve forgot about Piper’s voice (unless he’s on tha hook?)…
Either way, this was before Yola got released, accordin’ ta tha “Free Yola” shit.
Glad this anotha good verse, too; can’t complain… My Rating: 4.2
13.
KarlWayne Feat. BluBlack “Ask About Me”
Should
be interestin’! >>> A Q-Red-produced track, here. Though I still
resist leaving feedback, I think this sounds good, as always. Nice job wit Karl
on tha hook; hook almost sounds a lil’ like some older tracks from others, but
you gotta feel it! Here’s Karl on tha 1st verse, too, comin’
through, spittin’ in a great, post-jail kinda way! Lots of “eat dat dick up”
shit ‘round 1:19; gotta threaten ‘em wit your “dick.” LOL, I was playin’ beer
pong yesterday, and if I didn’t get one in before my opponent got all tha balls
in, I had to run naked outside. I would’ve done it, but I wound up gettin’
three in, lol. Then, my opponent wound up not gettin’ one in when versin’
someone else, and nearly went naked, lol! Got Blu on tha 2nd verse,
and he sounds real great, as always!
Really diggin’ that he always still smokes,
as well as feelin’ like tha coolest dude in dat Lane! My Rating: 4.4
14.
B-Porter “My Side Of The City”
Don’t
think I’ve eva heard of this dude, but am lookin’ forward! >>> A nice
track to rap on, though a lil’ dry on tha voice/delivery, once again… Sounds
more quieter than usual, wit tha voice, too… Not much of a transition from tha 1st
verse to tha hook… Weak transition, but a somewhat-catchy hook; so far, a good,
decent joint, here. Tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ betta. Damn, this
joint’s 4:52? I dunno why it has ta be so long; prolly could’ve subtracted a
verse? Tha 3rd verse’s start has a betta transition from tha hook ta
start it off; not bad… “April 17, 1991,” I see? A lil’ younger than me… My Rating: 3.7
15.
KarlWayne “Thuggin’”
And,
here it iz, with tha now-shortened title as “Thuggin’”, lol. Here’s what I had
to say when it appeared on my 15th mixtape compilation:
Formerly
known as K.O., and produced by Q-Red, here. Even got a lil’ music video online,
too, so that’s what’s up! Nice lil’ comeback, here, strictly “thugging” in dat
Gardere! I like that, “Man, I’m thugging,” random part ‘round 2:01. Go, K.O.—I
mean, KarlWayne, lol! Strictly vibin’ off this Q-Red beat! I like how he ended
it wit, “I’m thugging!” My Current
Rating: 4.5
16.
Needy Nee Feat. KarlWayne “Wrong Dude”
Let’s
see, here… >>> Nice beat fa Needy ta rap on; sounds pretty intense,
and one of tha best beats on here! LOL, nice hook; sounds like that old club
shit from back in tha day! And now, I believe this month, Needy reaches 30;
glad she still goin’ fa dat Lane! LOL, almost thought it was Blu on tha 2nd
verse, but it’s Karl, comin’ through wit some catchy rhymes, once again! Glad
he all ova this; Street Certified Muzic-representin’ at its finest! My Rating: 4.4
17.
Zipp Johnson Feat. KarlWayne & Obeeze “Friends/Enemies”
Y’all
spelled “enemies” as “enimies,” lol… Looks like a nice collaboration; don’t
think I’ve heard tha Zipp dude, yet! >>> Q-Red beat, once again; guess
that’s how tha rest of this CD gon be? Catchy hook: “Friends become enemies;” I
just titled it with a slash ‘cause it was a compound word in tha mp3 file…
Either way, pretty nice; I feel tha energy in this voice, here! Good job from
this Zipp (newbie) fa me! Kinda sounds a lil’ bit like Beezy Bird, too…; lots
of “friends” collaborations, it seems like? LOL @ how KarlWayne starts tha 2nd
verse: “Ol’ faggot-ass, coward-ass, bitch-ass nigga;” dumb shit! And, it’s true
ta anyone that ain’t thank me fa awards and deleted me, instead; how fucked up!
Just happened a few dayz ago, too! Then again, sendin’ awards ta niggaz’ll
really over; thank God I don’t have to waste my money, anymore! Let’s hear
this Obeeze verse on tha 3rd verse… Sounds great and consistent;
can’t complain! Hard ta believe it’s been six years since G-Lane Vol. 1 and tha “Go Hard N Da Paint” dayz! My Rating: 4.5
18.
Big Jun Feat. G-Lane Steve & KarlWayne “Wetup”
“Wet”?
LOL; neva heard of tha Jun dude, too! >>> Okay, more on tha shoot-ya
side, here; a pretty-good hook… Here’s tha 1st verse, wit “glue on
[their] hands;” nice… “I smoke too much weed;” already! When it’s my turn ta
hit, I usually neva turn any of it
down! Nothin’ betta than bein’ in tha zone! Tha 2nd verse sounds
pretty nice wit tha “put this metal to ya mouth, but I ain’t talkin’ braces”
line, in tha beginning! Definitely feelin’ tha G-shit fa tha G-Lane, here!
Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and I can’t tell who’s where, except Karl on
tha 2nd verse; I think tha ID has to be flipped, a lil’? Or, does
it? “Peel yo shit back: Mr. Potato Head!” Nice! My Rating: 4.1
19.
Yola No Soda Feat. KarlWayne “Fuck A Nigga”
Looks
like this gon be good…!! >>> Sounded a lil’ familiar wit tha beat, at
first, but this iz pretty jammin’ wit tha start! Really diggin’ how Yola comin’
through on tha hook, straight puttin’ tha middle finga up, consistently! Nice
shit on tha 1st verse from Yola, too; can’t get in his way! Tha cool
thing about work now iz that I’m five years older than most, there, feelin’
like Yola wit me. I say that ‘cause Yola five years older than me, so it’s a
great 3-8-3 effect (our years born), lol; I’m in tha middle! Karl on tha 2nd
verse, here; pretty short verse, but it’s nice ta collab wit Yola, doin’ tha
damn thang! My Rating: 4.7
20.
KarlWayne Feat. Vic Boi & Needy Nee “So Dumb”
Y…U…P…!
>>> An acapella start from Karl; nice wit all tha “dumb” parts! Tha
beat start and intro sounds good! LOL, this mixtape lost its mixin’ outta
nowhere; really glad fa that, but who knew, lol? Tha hook sounds good; I can
feel tha energy, luckily, not thinkin’ that you’re just in a booth barely
movin’ while recordin’ it! Here’s Karl on tha 1st verse, sneakin’ tha “Nina” in; uh-oh! He
feelin’ good/cool, here! Oh, and Karl, luckily, just a few weeks ago, I got my
head outta tha DJ B-Real gutter, thanx ta hangin’ wit one of my friends from
work! Who knew? Someone from where I live at, who’s one decade, one month &
one day younger than B-Real would shift my attention fa tha betta? Anyway,
hearin’ Vic on tha 2nd verse, and it sounds pretty good; consistent
“Lane” reppin’, here! Sounds jammin’ on this beat; gotta feel y’all! Got tha 3rd
verse from Needy, here, comin’ through wit consistent rhymes; feelin’ how she
comin’ through! “Eat you up like an entrée;” nice! My Rating: 4.3
21.
Lil’ Kev Feat. G-Lane Steve & Big Wayne “Eye Watching”
Endin’
wit an interestin’ collab; don’t think I heard of tha Kev dude, too!
>>> LOL @ tha start; even got Big Wayne in tha background! Sounds like
somethin’ from a long time ago? I just think of that ‘cause I know Big Wayne’s
really in tha Boosie mode, now-a-dayz. Tha hook sounds pretty nice; serious
shit, even though Big Wayne sounds off-beat, at times? I dunno, but he sounds
on-beat on tha 1st verse, here, comin’ through wit nice energy! He
even repped you: “G-Lane Steve;” you know what it iz… Then again, he called
himself “DJ Big Wayne;” lol, sounds
like a teenage throwback? Tha ’07 dayz? One thing that would be missin’ if it
was an ’07 throwback iz Big Wayne’s old, fast beat pattern… Tha 2nd
verse sounds pretty good, here; I’m diggin’ it… Though I don’t mind “eyes
watching” me, when it comes ta what I do, I have ta admit, I don’t like if
“eyes” are “watching,” ready ta confront me; that’s my autistic backlash? Then
again, we can all be anti-social? Big Wayne
on tha 3rd verse, as well? Shouldn’t it be his song as tha main
artist, if he on here tha most? “I’m Coogi-down wit Levi’s;” nice! It’ll neva be outdated fa me! I be wearin’
Levi shoes, at tha moment, and I still appreciate dat Coogi! My Rating: 4.4
Overall: Time fa tha label!! Oh,
only four hours left to prepare! Real exciting! Anyway, a pretty nice,
undaground mixtape, here! I definitely appreciate all tha unknown people, as
well as it reppin’ tha whole G-Lane! Props fa KarlWayne and Street Certified
Muzic fa puttin’ this together!
