I cannot believe I done made it this far in my career! It’s been a stellar 15 years since I hit my 1,000th review, back on June 10, 2011, at 12:47 PM! That was Low-Down’s Tales From Da South, in my continuous Louisiana Reviewz Marathon. Now, exactly a decade later, I’m here ta announce that I done reached my 2,000th review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so proud of this achievement & how far I done came, since that 1,000th review day!! This excitement hasn’t come outta me in a long minute, so I’m utilizin’ it right now, with my 2,000th review: *YOURS TRULY*, Frank Calhoune Autistic Stoner Rap, Vol. 1: A Trip To B.R., courtesy of *YOURS TRULY*, LuckyDogz Entertainment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome album that’s worth $13,880.82; can’t wait to put this review & more videoz out there, so tha $ucce$$ can ri$e!! With that bein’ said, here goes tha official review, Review #2,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Start Tyme: 12:47 PM | End Tyme: 2:17 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. “Fresh Out Tha Dungeon (Intro)” feat. Doe-Doe
Producer: Frank Calhoune
Kickin’ off my special, 2,000th review with one of my most-accomplished moments in my Multi-Media Master career: Gettin’ my big homie, Doe-Doe, on a track ta rap, while I produce tha track; how ‘bout dat?! All rhymes! After tha big homie, Doe-Doe, had his lil’ shine on, in tha undaground—best way ta say it iz “deep-cut” music? Like, 2003 – 2010? Really wanted him to get back in tha game, so on his son’s 4th birthday, on December 15, 2016, I produced this track fa him. I’m so glad he spit it from tha heart—means a whole lot! My ‘80s-babies-in-our-30’s click—peeps! All tha rhymes are real & represent me helpin’ him through tha mud; so glad I had that moment! With that bein’ said, this doesn’t sound exactly like tha Doe-Doe from those dayz, “Due to an interface,” he says? Interestin’; still, so glad it’s him! He just don’t have tha dreads, anymo… My Current Rating: 5.0
 
 
02. “Get High” feat. B-Teze
Producer: EQ Tha Misfit
Gotta luv this one! Really luv what EQ made fa me, here; instantly, I thought of gettin’ “high”! That’s what it be ‘bout! Also, gotta luv how he comes through with tha keys, hauntin’-soundin’ beat & how I embrace tha beat, “Like it was Kevin Gates,” he said! I luv how I come through on tha 1st verse with a chronological order of dates, for tha peeps! Gotta give y’all tha best “high” stories, ya feel me?! And, of course, courtesy of his apply effect to this EQ beat, B-Teze’s 2nd verse definitely blends in nicely with our collab! Just luv how he knows how ta turn up, most of tha tyme! Keep remainin’ confident, B-Teze! Also, Fun Fact: I ain’t realize some parts were shorter or somethin’, while brainstormin’ my lyrics & I did a nice acapella, toward tha end; crazy! My Current Rating: 5.0
 
 
03. “Big Dope Celebrity” feat. Mike Rich
Producer: La’Keith
This was anotha one of my favorite collabz ta do, ya feel me? I luv how I say, “Oooh!,” and that shit I talk in tha intro, lol! Like, I’m makin’ tha people stay tiggy-tiggy-tuned to somethin’ real special! Gotta luv how tha both of us come through on tha hook, courtesy of tha DCF-influenced tymes! Shout out ta tha Calhoune (me) on tha 1st verse, goin’ through “North 20-Nameth Street…”; it’s all about “tha fuckin’ key!” Gotta luv how grateful I am fa tha respect in tha hood I done brought in & continuin’ ta do so…!! Gotta luv how simple & effective Mike comes through on tha 2nd verse; definitely official! Just spittin’ them simple, “Dope Celebrity” facts—“Big Dope Celebrity” facts, to be exact!! Of course, it’s all ‘80s-babies-in-our-30’s fam with La’Keith, Mike Rich & I in tha booth!! My Current Rating: 5.0
 
 
04. “I’m Edibled Up” feat. Level
Producer: DJ B Real
Gotta Mention: Anything anybody need ta know about my lyrics & how I come up with what I come up with, here’s tha link of how I break ‘em down: https://frankiethaluckydog.blogspot.com/2021/04/album-03-frank-calhoune-autistic-stoner.html
 
As far as tha track, itself, I wanted to start with “feat.” as tha ID but I tried “x” to represent tha strength of tha collab. However, I can’t figure out how all tha dance/EDM artists have “x” in their IDs. Anyway, I kept “feat.”; with that bein’ said, I luv how I had all energy applied to this collab. Tha way that I visioned it & everythang, I just wanted tha edibles to speak! Luved that I was on 30 mg of edibles on this recording, just lettin’ it be known on tha hook! It’s all about tha effects of tha edible! With me on tha 1st verse, I just luv how I add tha “chiggy-chiggy” to “chocolate,” just bein’ a human DJ, with my voice/flow! Also, havin’ tha “I’m edibled up” part from tha hook to repeat 4x on my verse? That’s to consistently pump tha energy into people! Also, Level sounds dope with his collab, of course; luv tha energy he brought to tha table, of course! Only thang iz he was afraid of tha edible I went to give him, durin’ tha videoshoot. It wasn’t even potent but he acted like it was gon make him crazy, smh. Either way, definitely a highlight in my career & I will continue to bring it! My Current Rating: 5.0
 
 
05. “That Vibe (I’m Jiggin’)” feat. Young Sims
Producer: Young Sims
I wanted this to be like “I’m Edibled Up”, in a nice/sequel way! Sims cooked me up a nice lil’ beat & I dove inta this track with tha energy; definitely nice! I just want people to continuously “feel” energy—“purp,” movement, whateva! That’s how I want people to “find that vibe,” you know?! All tha energy I apply on tha 1st verse iz a perfect example of what I want from people, nowadayz! As far as Sims on tha 2nd verse, at least he didn’t wash away his full voice on this one! I made sure he stayed away from tha “H” of music: a-tune!! With that bein’ said, he was able to provide tha right “vibe” on my track, here. This way, err-body can be “jiggin’”! Also, I like how Sims made my original, final four barz of my verse as an outro-verse; good thinkin’, my boy…! My Current Rating: 4.7
 
 
06. “Cougherlude”
Producer: Frank Calhoune
I produced this in Pro Tools! Its instrument? My cough!! I wanted it to be a medley, originally, but it turned out ta be just a “Cougherlude”. On my upcomin’ releases of tha Autistic Stoner Rap series, I gon have a new “Cougherlude” (e.g., “Cougherlude 2, Pt. 2”, etc.). It gon be tha same beat but different lyrics to apply to tha newer tymes. With that bein’ said, this “autistic stoner dude” that “been due” iz randomly semi-rappin’, semi-speakin’ tha effects good weed’ll have on ya! My goal iz to be “productively fucked-up”; it’s always good to be productive…! Wanted this to be humorous, as well as random & as a skit. Altogether, it may just be its own song series? My Current Rating: 4.8
 
 
07. “Weed Everywhere” feat. Blu3Black
Producer: Blu3Black
Unsure of what to exactly come up with, while writin’ this song’s lyrics, I decided to make a pure-on “weed” anthem; had ta have it wit Blu3! Luv tha energy I come through on tha hook, as it’s humorous & anthemic! Also, I chop up my vocals; have to make y’all “go duffy or Boosie,” as I said in my amped-up intro!! Luv tha energy he came through with, on tha track & supplied tha fiya!! Also, him comin’ through on tha 1st verse pretty dope, as well; he just in tha ziggy-ziggy-zone!! Also, me on tha 2nd verse, as I’m loaded than a bitch, just really in tha zone, payin’ homage to Blu3, who always inspired me ta do what I do! Like I say, “We tha ‘80s babies in our 30’s, ya heard me?!” My Current Rating: 5.0
 
 
08. “‘80s Babies In Our 30’s” feat. Killa McClain
Producer: Lit G
After goin’ around many tymes ta get this one featured, it turned out ta be Killa McClain, outta Franklin, LA, to collab on it! Of course, tha beat’s definitely on some fun-type shit, “ya heard me?” I want it ta be a huge anthem fa tha “‘80’s Babies In Our 30’s” click, as I refer to my age group as. This tha anthem & I hold tha hook down in a major way! Even down ta my rappin’ on tha 1st verse: It’s all about us reppin’ what we luv & luved throughout our career, ya feel me? I’m a special type of talent: “Multi-Media Master,” I call myself! With Killa McClain on tha 2nd verse, he comes through with all his upbringings, as some1 six years older than me went thru different shit; definitely interestin’. I’m also glad that he added a four-bar interlude with his proud achievement of arrivin’ in my big city! Great collab; glad I got him on it, as well as anotha track on here! He was feelin’ tha sample I had of myself on my Tha Louisiana Blockumentaries, Trip #07 blockumentary. My Current Rating: 4.8
 
 
09. “Okay” feat. Lawd Cheezus
Producer: DJ B Real
Anotha hot beat from B Real, here, comin’ through with somethin’ special. What did I decided ta come up with? “Okay”, an anthem ta get myself through my back pain & my mom’s cancer; all about that determination! That’s why I spit what I spit, here & I channel Lawd Cheezus, from Down Bad’s “okayyyyyyyyyyy” signature adlib…! Glad to have made it an anthem with him & I can’t wait till we get tha video done, comin’ soon! With him on tha 2nd verse, it’s like his street cred & street journey has been a successful, interestin’ one; gotta respect it! “We tha ‘80s babies in our 30’s, ya heard me?!” Also, just as he wasn’t aggressive enough on tha mic, tha final four barz are shmokkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkin’!!” He snaps; he’s definitely worth tha tymes of tha past, durin’ Down Bad & Down Bad Entertainment!! My Current Rating: 4.6
 
 
½tyme: An awesome experience with my 3rd album, Autistic Stoner Rap, Vol. 1: A Trip To B.R., here; definitely worth every penny I spent! I just hope it comes back in tha end, somehow; I’ll be crossin’ my fingers! My goal iz to release a music video fa every track on tha album; so far, I have 4 of 19! I’m steadily grindin’, as I prepare more trips & gigs, ya heard me?! Also, tha average rating for this release, atm, iz at a whopping 4.9—almost ***PERFECT-RATED***!!! With that bein’ said, let’s continue, ya dig me?!
 
 
10. “Numerically Lyrical”
Producer: AJ On Da Track
Gotta give this one big props, especially ta kick off tha 2nd ½; great tyming?! Luv how AJ & I linked up fa this, as I just spit tha numerical facts of my life or in my perspective. Just luv how consistent I am with tha numbers, especially tha consistent rappin’! Then, I switch up my flow, at tymes; luv bein’ interestin’! Like, I want err-body to figure out what & why I spit tha way I do; what’s an autistic stoner rapper like? Basically, if you like to hear nothin’ but number facts bein’ rhymed, this one’s fa you; enjoy my life, in tha numerical format! My Current Rating: 5.0
 
 
11. “Roll” feat. Q-Red On The Track
Producer: Q-Red On The Track
I’m glad tha two of us applied tha right kinda energy on this track that you can continuously feel! Luv how Q-Red drew energy from me to rap tha hook & be on a “Roll,” just like myself; that’s how he do it! Even tho it was a sober session, I still thought we had excellent contributions; definitely pure…! Hearin’ him on tha 1st verse rap iz definitely what’s up! I’m glad I got him outta his comfort zone to rap a verse & tha hook; that’s how I do it!! Also, I luv how lightly I come in, durin’ tha 2nd verse: “You know what it iz…”; lol…! Then, in B Real’s perspective, I “ate Q-Red’s ass on [this] bitch!” Like, I just let tha energy out, as well as what I was feelin’ while I was writin’ my parts…! It was almost 100 degrees outside but tha heat index felt like 100+ & I was like, “Tha temp finna hit triple digits in this bitch…” Needless ta say, I hope when we drop this one as a single, it gon be nice & hot out!! My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
12. “I Hit Tha Lotto (4 G3)” feat. D-Ray Exclusive
Producer: D-Ray Exclusive
Made this one in dedication to “G3”, who iz D-Ray’s brother. G3 got murked exactly three years after I met him, on June 22, 2020. Now, shortly after this track was released on my album, D-Ray’s car got crushed by storms! Smh but we gon “hit tha lotto!” With that bein’ said, tha beat sounded good ta me, based off its Young Ready-like beats, only a lil’ slower. I wanted it to be a happy tribute to “hit tha lotto,” as we keepin’ “G3”’s name alive, Mr. “G3” Lotto! He definitely was tha life of “Tha Party,” as I called him in tha track. Just was havin’ fun wit dis one & D-Ray spit his off-dome verse right afta mine, just rappin’ about protectin’ his brother’s presence & fuckin’ a chick, lol…! My Current Rating: 4.0
 
 
13. “Fulla Dem Bitches Nah” feat. Kmac
Producer: Dolla Bill Da Last Man
Ooooooooooooooooooooh!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah!!! This one iz a muthafuckin’ anthem!! I had ta make it happen wit my boy, Kmiggy-miggy-mac! Like, I did tha track in a jiggalater’s perspective; this iz what it sounds like from a true jiggalater! Also, tha way Kmac screams, “I’m fulla dem bitches nah!!,” iz pure energy at its finest!! Like, tha way he handles tha hook, based off an interview’s sayin’, turns out that he definitely knows how ta transform somethin’ from one thing to tha next! Plus, how I come through on tha 1st verse, I really feel like I’m “Down Bad,” with what I say; they definitely were tha Baton Rouge legends!! I just wanted to bring that vibe into 2021; they paved tha way fa me! I bow down & give them my all due respect!! Kmac has tha 2nd verse & he’s okay to say, “Edibled up,” on his verse, due to he’s with me. Anybody else? They gotta get my permission! It’s my way of creatin’ a cool, autistic stoner rap dialect! But yeah, can’t wait till I get this video shot, comin’ in a few weeks! My goal iz to have it released on tha late, great, J-Dirty’s birthday, on September 4th; he woulda been 38! Long Live J-Dirty; this energy’s fa you! My Current Rating: 5.0
 
 
14. “You Know What It Iz” feat. Infa Red
Producer: BeatDemons
Originally thinkin’ it was an Infa Red beat, I decided to take tha track as mine feat. him. However, not realizin’ till our session on YouTube got detected, this beat belonged to tha BeatDemons. Needless to say, for it to be a one-tyme event fa me, I’m glad it turned out tha way it did; our energy’s everythang! Luv how Infa comes through on tha hook; caught on right away with tha “You Know What It Iz” part! Definitely in tha family of BR legends—tha ‘80s-babies-in-our-30’s click, as I call it! Also, luv how his verse ends & goes str8 into tha 2nd ½ of tha hook! Plus, you gotta luv how I come through on tha 2nd verse! I just drew tha energy from his “but if you wanna slide…” part, in tha hook, just changin’ up tha words; my flow consistent af!! Just sayin’! Gots to!! My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
15. “Consecutively, Consistently, Continuously” feat. DJ B Real
Producer: DJ B Real
I wanted ta come up with somethin’ wit B Real, while newly comin’ up with tha three adjectives, “Consecutively, Consistently, Continuously”; now, it’s in a track! Tha beat definitely that maximum quality in Baton Rouge; glad fa this one! Can’t wait till I make/edit tha video for it; stay tuned fa some good tymes! With that bein’ said, you gotta luv how tha both of us come through on tha hook, strictly puttin’ tha motivational facts in peoples’ ears, faces, etc.! Me comin’ through on tha 1st verse & I’m spittin’ how I came through, from my promotin’ name, FrankieThaLuckyDog, to my Louisiana connection & my “Consecutively, Consistently, Continuously” path! Then, B Real flips tha 2nd hook in a unique way to connect my verse to ½ a hook & his ½ a hook to his verse; awesomeness!! Also, B Real comes through with his verse, providin’ tha above-&-beyond, determined, confident work ethic to make it through in tha game, successfully. All about livin’ “off what you dreamin’!” My Current Rating: 4.7
 
 
16. “Driptastic (Remix)” feat. Skull Duggrey & AJ On Da Track
Producer: AJ On Da Track
After bein’ approached about tha legendary Skull Dugg, I had ta take interest in a collab. Tha 1st word that came to my mouth? “Driptastic!” Gotta luv how AJ On Da Track produced this one & set an awesome, chill vibe ta enjoy, here! I had ta have fun with choppin’ up my vocals, actin’ out tha crowd & bein’ proud of my success! Me comin’ through on tha 1st verse iz, like people say, “Like a White Nu$$ie”; glad I can be appreciated in that DCF royalty! I finna be Nu$$ie’s final age in 11 dayz; crazy!! Also, continuin’ on with tha track, with Skull on tha 2nd verse, it sounds dope with his slower, laidback flow, here; nothin’ but “Driptastic” streetz fa tha 2021! Can’t wait till people enjoy this shit a lot more & if they haven’t heard it, already! Plus, S/O to AJ On Da Track fa providin’ tha lil’ vocal fa tha “Driptastic” part, in tha hook; my boy!! My Current Rating: 4.8
 
 
17. “F.W.R.” feat. Killa McClain
Producer: AJ On Da Track
Originally, I wanted this 337-related lingo, “Fuckin’ Well Right,” to be a Mikki Gunz-produced track. However, I got AJ ta do a 3rd beat fa me & tha idea turned out ta be “F.W.R.”! Also, tha way I chop dat bitch up on tha hook? Tha muthafuckin’-well-right dumb way!!! I just wanted this to be an interestin’, co-sign anthem; luv how on every other “F.W.R.,” my voice tone changes…! Also, tha last three words of my verse, ironically, “F.W.R.,” I coughed up to give it a flava in tha beat! Now, who thinks like dat? Autistic stoner rappers!! Gotta luv how Killa McClain be comin’ through wit his Franklin-affiliated vibes; it’s all about tha “get up” & “hustle”! My Current Rating: 5.0
 
 
18. “Fulla Dat 70th” feat. 70th Street Carlos
Producer: QueFillz
Oh boy, this one; I anticipated & wanted this one ta be tha biggest anthem dedicated ta “70th” Street Carlos. So, I had ta make tha collab happen. I’ll admit, I planned this event early on in my album & this turned out a lil’ random? Beat’s bangin’ & I come through, askin’ what err-body’s “fulla.” Then, I tell err-body that they should always be “Fulla Dat 70th” [Street Carlos]! Tha rhymes I’m spittin’ on tha 1st verse are also based on tha September 10, 2020 music video shoot we did with DC Visuals for tha “Back Again (Remix)”, which should get released! I was in it! But yeah, I honored that video shoot in this song with tha “yellow fuckin’ flag,” ya feel me?! Also, when Los comes through on tha 2nd verse, I just luv how he just fulla whateva pillz—he later says, “Addies,” so it must be them? Luv how he’s fully loaded on tha mic fa our collab, here; he just really feelin’ tha vibe! My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
19. “On 2 Da Next ‘Won’ (Outro)” feat. Boxx The Hungry Genius
Producer: Frank Calhoune
Just like with how I have tha Doe-Doe intro track, includin’ this one, I had to make me tha main artist on tha distributin’ platforms; that’s why it’s me feat. them. Anyway, when I produced this, I wanted to feel somethin’ eerie. I mean, at this point, I’m hopin’ to get, like, either trained to be a betta producer, mixer & masterer? That’s my goal fa Vol. 2, when I make it to that tyme! With that bein’ said, I kept tha eerieness fa this beat & let Boxx spit from tha heart about my evolution. Everythang all interestin’, wise & to tha heart gristle! My Current Rating: 5.0
 
 
Overall: Creatin’ this album had a bunch of ups & downs; neva woulda thought of tha downs occurrin’ but they definitely strengthened me! I’m literally ready ta be 33 & to be slowly accomplishin’ my dreams! They’re in tha process of bein’ created; so glad they’ve been started!! But yeah, goin’ back to tha album, I wanted to give listeners tha best energy in beats, highs, highs to appreciate & tha perspective of an interestin’ life for an autistic stoner to enjoy. That’s why, I decided ta do this project & I’m so glad it got completed!! I’m puttin’ my whole heart, my all, my everything into this album! I really hope it speaks tha future in rap sub-genres; autistic stoner rap, tha genre! It’s here!!
