Keepin’

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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your
vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

“Gangsta’s Prayer”
Title
track… >>> Feelin’ tha West Coast vibe in tha beginning… Here you are
at “24;” I was “24” four years ago, which was a great life. I thought I was gon
be a news reporter / photog-editor, which I’m still strivin’ for. However, they
ain’t believe in me so I’m just at a minimum wage-payin’ job… “My 9 to 5 iz how
I stay alive;” you nailed it! Nice job wit tha 1st verse, here,
holdin’ shit down! Tha hook’s pretty nice; hood shit at its finest! Hearin’ tha
2nd verse and you keepin’ it gangsta, here; can’t deny it! Tha 3rd
verse’s kickin’ it off wit dem “gat” shots, here, strictly keepin’ it gangsta!
Even tha “infrared!” My Rating: 4.1
02.
“Something To Ride”
>>>
“Something to ride to, to get high to;” nice hook!! Beat’s cool; diggin’ it…
Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it has a smooth, throwback Trae-like sound
ta it, with tha voice… Now, it’s tha regular voice and it’s soundin’ aight…
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s straight, too; can’t deny it… Tha 3rd
verse sounds like a different dude, here, comin’ through wit some nice shit fa
tha south… “You can be an ace but I’m a mothafuckin’ joker;” dope!! My Rating: 3.9
½time: A 4.0-rated release, so far; can’t
deny it…

>>>
Lol, just a five-second intro…; get ready fa dis gangsta shit! My Rating: N/A
02.
“Mass Murder”
>>> Feelin’ tha beat, as it’s undaground and jammin’, at tha same time. Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and you got this shit on lock! Feelin’ how you holdin’ tha south down! Tha Xandria! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty anthemic about tha “shot!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and you have tha consistent, gangsta rhymes on lock, here! Definitely diggin’ what you bringin’ to tha table! Tight, acapella shit from 2:27 – 2:31! Tha 3rd verse pretty gutta, too; “it just won’t stop!” My Rating: 4.5

03.
“Crunk”
Yeah!
>>> Despite tha title, it’s laidback,
here, but I’m feelin’ it! Nice lil’ slow beat throughout tha track, here, and
tha 1st verse’s pretty nice! Feelin’ how it almost sounds like you
deliverin’ a paranoid-type flow, here, with tha lyrics! Even down to tha hook:
I’m diggin’ it, despite it bein’ so
opposite of “crunk,” lol! Really diggin’ it! I luv bein’ “crunk,” I luv bein’
“high,” I luv bein’ anything positive! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and
it’s soundin’ nice ta hear, too… Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice, too!
“What chu gon do when tha weed run out?” I know, right? You know how it be when
you have a stressful job! Gotta shmoke in moderation! How’d I go nine dayz
without, so far? Dem reviewz, lol! Still, workin’ six dayz a week, you need
sum’n, sum’n!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3rd verse and “five blunts.”
That sounds nice but nothin’ like chillin’ wit this 49-year-old chick I know!
We shmoked 6 ½ bowls on August 18, in honor of my boy, Percy Keith’s birthday (Baton Rouge rapper)!!
Undeniable!! I think she shmoked one bowl more than me ‘cause I had a headache
that day!! Yeah, I’m outdone, at times! Great job wit tha verse, tho! My Rating: 4.7
04.
Without Sin
[No
preview due to it played without me knowin’…] >>> Nice; great way ta
lead inta “No Love”!! My Rating: N/A
½time: Excellent, dark, gangsta
release, here! A 4.6-rated tape, so far!! Gotta luv how you handle tha tracks!!
You know what I be diggin’, ya dig?!
05.
“No Love”
>>>
“Love” tha beginning with tha singin’ of tha title!! I remember radio-editin’
this! Definitely luvin’ tha dark
beat, here!! Tha 1st verse’s jammin’; makes me miss my radio show!
Tha dark vibe! Tha dark station!! Can’t believe it’s been over four years!!
Anotha rapper like Busta Rhymes, strictly hooked on dat “Courvoisier!!” Lol!!
Tha actual hook sounds decent, here; feelin’ tha uncredited singer! Tha 2nd
verse’s nice; crazy wit tha “J-O-B!” Sometimes, it always makes me think, I
wish I had my freedom back, instead of tha “J-O-B!” We’ll let time tell dat! My Rating: 4.6
06.
“So Real”
>>> Beat’s nice and laidback; gotta feel it! These “rules” remind me of Biggie or somethin’; keep it goin’ wit tha 1st verse! Tha hook’s catchy with tha singer, once again, holdin’ shit down! When I hear or see tha word, “Real,” I always think of my ex-connect, DJ B-“Real!” Always miss him every fuckin’ day and wish he would unblock me/reconnect wit me, already!! Anyway, keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, and it’s soundin’ nice, too… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3rd verse and it’s soundin’ nice, as well; undeniable…! My Rating: 4.4

“Dream Of Death”
It’s
sad how ever since my brother died, last year, this iz sadly what goes through
my mind, especially while high! Time’s flyin’!! I’m fuckin’ 28!! >>> I
can agree with my paranoia and tha vibe in tha beat, here! Definitely sounds
nice and dark! Gotta luv how tha 1st verse sounds! Definitely
feelin’ your “drug dealers” “reality” that you be dealin’ with! I wish I was
high reviewin’ this! I’m shmokin’ wit a chick 2morrow in 24 hours & 4
minutes, lol (7:05 PM)! I’m just in a hurry ta get these reviewz done while I
work six dayz a week and do other shit, too (playlists, uploads, etc.)! Hook’s
just a beat; definitely feelin’ it!! Tha 2nd verse sounds like an
uncredited feature? Either way, definitely excellent with how it sounds!! “Little does he know…;” excellent emotion
at 2:38!!! Diggin’ this long-ass verse!! So glad it’s long and doesn’t end,
too! This that quality shit that’s long! Like, really? It’s 6:03? Doesn’t seem
like it!! My Rating: 4.8
08.
“Breakdown”
>>>
Back to tha laidback shit and I’m definitely feelin’ this slow hook! Definitely
dat quality shit while high, ya know?! “Picture me paranoid;” excellent way ta
describe tha 1st verse!! Would I be afraid of tha clowns that are
out, now? My move: Just keep it movin’! Don’t worry ‘bout shiiiiiit!! Only one
verse? Really held it down fa only one!! My
Rating: 4.3
Overall: Ain’t expect it ta end so
fast, due to I thought there was anotha track, lol! But, definitely one of tha
best releases I’ve reviewed recently, outta my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon!! Luved tha dark vibes, tha intense shit
goin’ on, tha rhymes you brought to tha table & everythang else! Great job,
Doobie Smoov! I know there’s anotha CD/tape of yours in my marathon, during tha
‘90s! Can’t wait ta review it! I know you still grindin’; keep it up!!

ain’t too bad; this could prolly use a bounce vibe… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and tha beat’s still a lil’ plain ta rap on… Tha rappin’ good but it
ain’t tha best from what I’ve heard, on this tape… Tha 2nd verse
soundin’ a lil’ betta, here, keepin’ it southern… My Rating: 3.6
04.
“Chronic (Pt. 1)”
A longer track… >>> Even sappier with tha beat, here, with a blues singer in tha beginning? I like that it’s about “chronic” and gettin’ “higher,” but I’m not feelin’ this vibe at all! My Rating: 2.1

05.
“Everyday Weed Head”
Can
it be normal, this time?? >>> Sounds much betta with tha vocal flow
and tha beginning… Tha beat start with tha hi-hats got me excited fa somethin’
but it’s just a regular bounce vibe, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and
it ain’t too bad… I’ono why, but I thought that rhymed nicely: “Smokin’ dat
herb from dat 3rd.” I’m diggin’ how tha near-end sounds like a
“weed” anthem, fa sho! “I’mma keep smokin’ weed until tha day I die! ’96 to
’97, ’98 to ’99;” just tha ‘90s, lol? My
Rating: 4.4
½time: A nice lil’ undaground
release, with tha exception of #04… I’m diggin’ how y’all comin’ through with
tha bounce vibes, even tho I expected more G-shit… It’s still gangsta, but more
in tha beats than bounce… A 3.7-rated tape, so far…; let’s see what’s next!
06.
“Goose Thang (Radio)”
Ain’t
even realize it was a radio edit while I was writin’ tha ½time… See #2 fa tha review!
07.
“P-Poppers (Radio)”
See #3 fa tha review!
08.
“Hustlers”
Just
a repeat song, clean or not? See #1 fa
tha review!
09.
“Chronic (Pt. 2)”
I
can’t imagine… >>> Ugh…! Ta me, this an interlude, but because of tha
singin’, I count it as a track… I like that y’all were “smokin’ when tha school
bell rang,” tho. Was gonna get inta this more toward tha end but when it got to
“Mary Had A Little Lamb” and “Jack & Jill,” I was thinkin’, “Fuck
this!” My Rating: 2.4
10.
“Everyday Weed Head”
Here
we are, again… See #5 fa tha review!
Overall: Ended much quicker than I
expected… A few repeat songs and radio edits ta make this shorter… Anyway,
great job fa a lil’ bounce release, despite me not feelin’ those “Chronic”
tracks/interludes… I thought this was gon be more gangsta in tha beats, but
it’s still not bad… Still, tha “Chronic” shit knocked down tha CD rating 6/10’s
of a point!!

Review #1,553: Cheeky Blakk "Fuck Bein' Faithful"
Reviewed on 9.29.2016 (Review #1,553)
Gonna
be a rough review day; I can tell! Yesterday, I got done before 5 & now,
it’s before 5 & I’m just startin’, smh! Here’s tha 1st one for
today: Cheeky Blakk Fuck Bein’ Faithful, released in 1996 on Tombstone Records & produced by Mannie
Fresh… Start Time: 4:19 PM | End Time: 4:43 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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your
vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

“Fuck Bein’ Faithful”
>>> A lil’ “Lean On Me” bass in tha background of tha beat, here; let’s see how this goes… A lil’ catchy on tha hook, here; gotta “fuck bein’ faithful!” Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice… Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ this bounce vibe goin’… And, we got tha 3rd verse, soundin’ nice and consistent fa this bounce vibe, as well… I’ono, but with this “Lean On Me” bass, I feel like this a guilty pleasure… My Rating: 4.3

“Young Girls”
>>>
More of that “soul-bounce,” as I call it… So far, a decent vibe off this beat
and tha 1st verse, here, goin’ through life… Hearin’ tha hook and
yeah, “why” do people “wanna grow up so fast?” Glad I’m “growin’ up” slow at
28, even tho I feel like it’s goin’ real fast, now, without my brother here…
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s keepin’ this shit goin’… My Rating: 3.7

“Represent”
>>>
A “twerk” anthem, here, as tha beat’s even crazier fa dem bounce luvaz! Nice
job wit tha crazy hook! We have 5:50 on tha length, this time, compared to tha
shorter songs; let’s see if it can hold up! Nice job wit tha 1st
verse, too, strictly chantin’ random party chants, here… Sometimes, I can’t
tell if I’m on a verse or tha hook, here; it’s consistently crazy, lol… Tha
“eat my pussy” shit later got remade in 2011 by Mz. TeQui; can’t believe that
was five years ago… My Rating: 4.2

“17th Comin’ Up”
>>> Beat sounds decent… Kickin’ it off wit tha hook, here, and it’s definitely representin’ fa tha ward of tha “17th,” here; dope… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice; not bad, overall… It almost sounds like some1’s joinin’ you on tha 1st verse? Tha dude on tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse sounds like a Juvenile or somethin’… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it ain’t too bad, here… Again, it sounds like you’re joinin’ with that Juvenile-soundin’ dude… My Rating: 4.0

“Sometimers”
A
long title track, here… >>> Even tho a lil’ plain, I’m definitely
diggin’ tha organ or whateva beat sound’s flowin’ ova this beat… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and I’m diggin’ how you sound like a 200-pound dude, here, holdin’ shit
down! “Today, they be your friends; tomorrow, your enemies…” I think that’s an
excellent line! Had somethin’ like that happen today wit some1 in tha music
biz. I had been cool wit them fa six years and now, when I seen them reconnect
wit one dude (DJ B-Real) that I wanted ta reconnect wit, I asked him how he did
it. He answered me quick but then, quickly stopped answerin’ me about helpin’
me wit tha situation. He wound up blockin’ me on Instagram last night, like,
what? He copied what tha one dude did ta me! WTF? Dude done changed…; whateva…
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ great, too, with these
consistent rhymes fa da gangstaz! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3rd
verse, here, comin’ through nicely, as always! My Rating: 4.2
04.
“Drastic Life”
>>>
Nice beginning beat and it sounds nice and dark, here… Hearin’ tha hook and
it’s definitely nice, “tryna” dodge tha “problems!” Really, my only problem iz gettin’ free time, at tha
moment! Also, “tryna” avoid drama at my job! Those two thangz need ta get
solved! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice; can’t deny this
one! Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ this G-shit continuin’, consistently!
Nice job wit tha rest of this joint, too! Endin’ with tha nice beat from tha
beginning, here! My Rating: 4.4
05.
“Down Since ‘99”
I
thought it was ’95? >>>
Sounds like a nice intro and hook… Tha beat’s pretty nice, slow & dark…
Nice job wit tha 1st verse; can’t complain… Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and it’s a nice scene fa tha gangstaz, in tha dark! Mo gangsta shit
comin’ outta tha 3rd verse, here; can’t deny it! Even down ta spankin’ they “ass!” My Rating: 4.2
½time: So far, so good; quality
at its finest fa tha undaground, here! A 4.2-rated release; let’s keep it dark and goin’!
06.
“Neighborhood Assassin”
>>>
Nice! Catchy hook, here, keepin’ it real ova this beat! It’s all about dat
quality gangsta shit! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and we got shit goin’,
here… Here we are wit a 2nd verse, here, spittin’ some nice shit, of
course! Tha 3rd verse’s keepin’ this shit goin’, too, consistently…
Still more than two minutes remainin’ and it sounds like we’re yada-yadain’ with
tha random vocals…; long outro? Yeah, but it still a nice track… My Rating: 4.3
07.
The Search (Part 1)
Nice
title…! >>> Oh, just a short lil’ interlude, here… Nice lil’
interlude, just like tha intro! My
Rating: N/A
08.
“Mafia Style”
I
know y’all got a CD by this name? >>> Diggin’ tha West Coast-y beat,
includin’ tha undaground sounds in tha background! Tha 1st verse’s
pretty nice; lovin’ tha beat! It’s so strong, it can make ya sick, lol! It just
goes through ya!! Imagine hearin’ this while high?! Tha hook? Umm…, just
talkin’? Nice with “fantabulous,” a combination of “fantastic” and “fabulous;”
dope! After a long-ass interlude after tha 1st verse, we have tha 2nd
verse at 3:13 and it’s soundin’ nice… Oh wait, what a short verse, lol? Really
dug tha beat but there wasn’t much poppin’ with everything after tha 1st
verse… My Rating: 4.0
09.
“Sometimers (Radio)”
See #3 fa tha review!
10.
“LJ Growing Up In The Big Easy”
>>>
Beat’s pretty nice, here, and y’all got shit on-n-poppin’ wit tha 1st
verse; gangsta shit! Tha hook’s nice ta hear with tha beat; just a title…
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds like some nice, southern shit;
gotta respeck it! Great job keepin’ this shit on-n-poppin’! It’s all about “The
Big Easy!” My Rating: 4.1
Overall: Even tho I’ve heard
better, I thought this was a nice, consistent release! All tha tracks had at
