Review #1,942: Da Baton Rouge Boyz "The SXSW Mixtape (Hosted by DJ Tremon)"

Reviewed on 7.29.2020 (Review #1,942)


As tha month of July continues ta end, I continue ta keep it movin’ wit everythang I’m tryna accomplish. Here comes my next review: Da Baton Rouge Boyz The SXSW Mixtape (Hosted by DJ Tremon), released in 2017 on Flamed-Up Records & Last Man Production. Da Baton Rouge Boyz consist of Big Flame Thrower & Dolla Bill Da Last Man; let’s get it! Shout out ta Last Man fa holdin’ tha beats down…! Start Time: 12:33 PM | End Time: 1:38 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “Aight”
>>> Sounds good wit Tremon in tha beginning, here… Tha hook got some cool sounds in it; simple & sounds like it’s a long, repetitive hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good wit Big Flame on tha rhymes… Dolla Bill sound good on tha 2nd verse, as well; not much ta say but I enjoy some of dis… Tha beat tha best thang on this track, tho it a lil’ slower for me to fully appreciate… My Rating: 3.7


02. “Where Dey At”
>>> Tha hook sounds nice wit Dolla Bill on it; all about lookin’ fa dem “big fine bitches!” Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Dolla & it sounds good wit how he wants these “bitches;” good shit. Likin’ how tha beat has constant clappin’, right b4 tha 1st verse ends; good shit, Dolla…! Got Flame on tha 2nd verse, here… A lil’ bit of a mix between tha undaground vibe & a mainstream vibe, when it comes ta how he comin’ wit these “bitches;” I digz it… My Rating: 4.0


03. “Jumpin’ Like A Ghost”
>>> Again, I’m diggin’ tha beats Dolla be bringin’ to tha tracks, here; good sounds! Tha hook pretty nice; diggin’ all this “jumpin’!” Hopefully, when all my charges clear, I gotta experience this “jumpin’” effect! Fa now, I gon enjoy y’all, here, wit tha “jumpin’” 1st verse; good shit! I’m diggin’ how Flame comin’ through on tha verse; all about tha “supa” powers! Likin’ how Dolla comin’ through on tha 2nd verse, too; definitely feelin’ tha energy y’all bringin’! Like, while I prepare fa my 3rd album, Autistic Stoner Rap, I can only get fulla dat weed so whomeva I collab wit, they gon have ta show me this “jumpin’” vibe, so I can compete, in tha future! I like how y’all goin’ back & forth, toward tha end; definitely nice energy! My Rating: 4.4


04. “Bend Ova” feat. Level
This gotta be, like, tha 3rd song I know that Level featured on wit a title like dis (tha other two were Lil’ Cali’s, I believe). >>> As far as how this sounds, it’s definitely dope; luv tha repetitive “bend ova” part, on tha hook! Great job, Level; you know what it iz! Got Level on tha 1st verse & he got shit on lock. I feel a lil’ insecure about how his voice sounds a lil’ off, due to an attempt voice effect, smh. Either way, definitely dope; we’ll see if it takes tha crown later, on tha rankings…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse wit Dolla & it sounds dope; likin’ how y’all got tha clubz on lock wit dis one…! Got Flame on tha 3rd verse & he got shit poppin’, here; great contribution, as we “feel dat bone!” My Rating: 4.5


05. “College Drive….Fuck U” (Dolla Bill)
>>> I luv how Dolla sounds nice & high as fuck, in tha beginning, here; definitely nice! Makes me supa-hyped up fa my upcomin’ BR trip!! Long intro, tho; how excited should I get…? Afta :51, here comes tha 1st verse; sounds cool. I know what it iz wit tha “Waffle House,” as on my last BR trip, that was tha only food I ate, lol. Definitely feelin’ tha high vibes, here… Oh, lookin’ at tha title closer & yeah, that’s tha “Waffle House” I go to (on “College Drive”), lol…! Oh, tha track changed up, as 1:36 iz remaining on tha track… Likin’ this “fuck u…” part, on tha hook; sounds good. Your verse on tha “Fuck U” part of tha track sounds nice wit tha rhymes/high vibes. It sounds kinda slow but it cool fa me… I would say, if I had to combine tha two tracks’ ratings, it would prolly turn into… My Rating: 4.1


06. “I Be Working”
>>> Sounds a lil’ like a mainstream/non-Louisiana vibe, wit this slower beat ta rap on, fa tha streetz… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds cool; it’s str8… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Flame & it okay; might be a lil’ too generic fa me, tho. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty dope wit Flame talkin’ ‘bout dem pillz, in tha beginning of tha verse; definitely excitin’…! My Rating: 3.2


07. “Cancel Dat”
>>> I feel anticipated afta hearin’ Dolla say, “Say, bruh…;” beat sounds nice wit tha eerie intro, too…! I like how tha hook about cancelin’ a “bitch;” definitely an interestin’/hype-soundin’ hook…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Dolla & it sounds good; drop it like it’s hot, lol… Got mo comin’ from tha BR Boyz wit Flame on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit an okay set of rhymes; I give it props… My Rating: 4.2


08. “Pop It” (Big Flame Thrower)
>>> “You know I made tha beat…,” in tha background? Not a Last Man Production? Hmm… Beat sounds outdated or like it’s from tha late 2000’s, with how it sounds like them old Drumma Boy beatz… Kinda bleh/generic, as far as tha vibe/beat but it ain’t bad, so far… Might be a lil’ long but we’ll see how long I can stay interested… Overall, this kinda seems long but it’s not bad, overall; props fa keepin’ tha energy up, Flame…! My Rating: 3.5


½time: Sounds like this mainly a good lil’ tape, here; a 4.0 ½time rating, currently…! Let’s see if y’all can keep up da energy! Shout out ta Level fa tha best vibe, so far…!


09. “Bobb Ya Head”
>>> Sounds good wit tha Sam I Am sample in tha intro, here, as well as tha Last Man Production productions returnin’…! Tha hook sounds good; I digz tha vibez, of course… Dolla on tha 1st verse, here, comin’ through wit consistent rhymes & a good club vibe, of course…! Got Flame on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through like a cool dude; gotta keep tha coolness up! Flame leadin’ fa tha ‘70s babies in they 40’s, so keep it up, just like Fatt Albert of tha Dirty Boyz! An outro in tha mist of over a minute left; hmm… Okay, we have anotha hook, toward tha end; good shit… My Rating: 4.2


10. “Huh Bruh” (Dolla Bill)
Always luv this saying… >>> Startin’ off nice & only gettin’ betta!! Luvin’ tha hook; always gotta do it “fa [yo] city!” Dat “225!!” Luv how dis a solo track; too bad I ain’t get ta connect witchu, in 2017, when this was released. This woulda had a good time wit me, as that was tha 1st year I was goin’ ta Louisiana…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good, as Dolla, you keep tha consistent vibe of tha 225 lyfe goin’…! Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here & it’s pretty dope; I’m diggin’ what you bringin’, as alwayz…! Gonna be a close one between this & tha Level feature; we’ll see who wins…! My Rating: 4.5


11. “Work Out”
>>> Nice intro from Tremon, here… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty dope; continuous workin’ “out!” Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Dolla & it’s soundin’ good wit his Dog Da Cutthroata/Tech/Lil’ Cal vibe, as far as tha flow & vibe goes…! Hearin’ Flame on tha 2nd verse & I luv how he “energized up;” definitely tha way ta be! Hope he don’t age—neva age!! My Rating: 4.3


12. “Chew’d Out”
! >>> Almost wasn’t thankin’ it was an original production but it iz, of course, by tha one and only, DBDLM! Speakin’ of Dolla, here he iz, on tha 1st verse, comin’ through on this nicely-dropped beat… Tha hook sounds cool; all about bein’ “Chew’d Out!” That’s tha vibe ta have! Can’t wait till my chewin’ debut, one day…! Fa now, let’s keep it goin’ wit Flame on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit his pill contributions; definitely nice…! Keep droppin’ tha knowledge! Lol @ tha “empty stomach” warning, when it comes to dem tabz! As far as my tincture edibles & food edibles go, I rather have them “on an empty stomach,” due to I like when those effects hit, ya herad me? Gotta luv how Dolla comin’ through on tha 3rd verse, strictly in his “Chew’d Out” state of mind, ya heard me? Definitely nice! Title should be “Chew’d Out”, not “Chew’d Dat”, tho? My Rating: 4.5


13. “Big Booty Girls”
>>> Likin’ tha Tremon intro, once again… Wit this club vibe, this sounds less-exciting & more on tha mainstream/generic side, tho. Like, I can see some mainstream rapper droppin’ a wack song, on this beat that doesn’t sound like a Last Man track… Hearin’ tha hook & it str8; I give it props… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight from Flame, here; nothin’ ta say, here… Tha 2nd verse doesn’t really have much ta offer, as well; just a song fa tha wack mainstream rapper, here… My Rating: 3.1


14. “Dance Wit Me” (Dolla Bill)
>>> Likin’ tha undaground beat comin’ back, here…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight but Dolla takin’ tha Level risk wit tha sketched-out vocals… Speakin’ of vocals, it sounds like a scary-soundin’ hook; I’ono about tha singin’… I mean, it can be okay but for tha most part, this track’s soundin’ like it’s goin’ more toward tha scary route than an above-average route… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it aight, once again; still weirded-out wit tha vocals… My Rating: 1.7


15. “Good”
>>> Sounds like a hypnotizin’ hook/beat vibe, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Dolla & it “Good,” I guess, lol? Sounds like an okay vibe fa tha ladies, here… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on from Flame, here & it’s ehh…; startin’ ta sound boring fa me… My Rating: 3.0


16. “Make You Love Me Again” feat. Federro
>>> As soon as I seen tha feature, I instantly thought of Vybe beats & online beats from, like, tha late 2000’s/early 2010’s. With that bein’ said, this hook/slow vibe ain’t really fa me. Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Flame & it ehh…; no comment, basically. Tha rest of this doesn’t need any feedback; next…! My Rating: 1.3


17. “Trust Me” feat. Ar’Jay, Lil’ Cal & Cutta
>>> I don’t really fuck wit tha Ar’Jay singin’ hooks; just not me… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Dolla & it just seems like a sappy version of tha club bangaz, on this tape… Tha 2nd verse sound str8, tho not really on this beat; nice job, Cal… Tha rest of this just drags out; too long of a slow track, especially durin’ these dayz… I sound like a hater wit this one but it just doesn’t fit in my circle… My Rating: 1.1


Overall: It seemed like this was a dope tape, tho some of tha sappy/odd-soundin’ tracks threw tha rating off, down to an average-rated tape rating. Either way, at least there was quite tha quality on this one…! Keep up tha great work, y’all!
