Review #2,016: Max Minelli "Diamonds In The Dirt" Documentary

Reviewed on 2.25.2022 (Review #2,016)
 
 
Happy 2/25 Day!! Frankie here, finna review my 2,016th review: Max Minelli Diamonds In The Dirt, tha documentary that just dropped! I haven’t reviewed a documentary since November 4, 2012; now, I have a documentary to review, again! This documentary iz about tha Baton Rouge music scene evolving throughout tyme; tha artists are tha “diamonds,” while gettin’ it out tha mud iz tha “dirt.” Tha artists didn’t think they had dreams to accomplish till tha music started takin’ off. I had met Max, Sam I Am, Koo Shot Ya & Greg Dukes all on March 27, 2017, while Koo was filmin’ some scenes at Dukes’ studio. I was filmed, too, but accordin’ to Max, there’ll be more comin’ with a sequel, one day! Fa now, lemme see this Baton Rouge history in tha flesh! I’m watchin’ this via tha Tubi app, since it’s currently only available there… Lemme peep tha trailer out & see what’s up… *Peeps trailer out…* Tha BR bridge & “Baton Rouge” levee spelling’s alwayz a dope sighting! I’m diggin’ how Max Minelli iz directin’ this, with his voice & tha footage ta go with it! Looks great ta see a bunch of tha peeps I know & have showed me luv, in tha past & some till now! Like, can we rewind back tyme to tha history? July 14, 2008, when I did my 100th review 1,916 reviewz ago, Nu$$ie gave me a shout-out on Jimmy The DJ’s Gangsta Gumbo, Vol. 2: Ghetto Pass mixtape! September 15, 2008, when I did my review for Kevin Gates All Or Nuthin’ (The Mixtape), when he had it posted on his MySpace blog. I got some good history! How does it compare to today’s value? I’ono, what y’all think? That Sam I Am shot in tha intro, yeah, that was March 27, 2017, when I called it in my intro that I’m still in!! Lol, I wrote that 1st part of tha intro while I was sober & now, after hittin’ my THC pen, I seen & wrote about that day, only I’m still in tha intro, still, lol! Anywayz, can’t wait ta peep out this big release! I’ono, my perspective on some peeps have changed in value since my recording process, last year. Some could be worth an awesome rating but as a bad withdrawal; we’ll see what we got! Reals? Fakes? We’ll see…! What betta way ta start this review @ Baton Rouge legend, M Dot’s birthday tyme of 7:01! Start Time: 7:01 PM | End Time: 11:01 PM
 
 
Disclaimer:
I rate each scene from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care what’s what! As long as it’s cool and good enough for me to like it! I look for style & then tha storyline. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings (if a scene 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 see it) so any scene can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I see tha scene; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha scene while I’m watching it. If you act like anything too mainstream for me, there’s auto-tune or lots of talkin’ about money, hoes & stuntin’ 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it! I also don’t go for stuntin’ wit tons of money, non-stop…

EDIT: I dunno if there’s different titles for different parts, so I’m basically reviewin’ this blind… I later had all but “History” without a preview, due to I wasn’t sure where each part started.
 
 
01. “Intro” (0:00 – 1:17)
>>>
 
0:00: Shout out ta Leverage Films (Mista Matt in tha inn, lol—building, that iz, lol), as well as what I knew as tha Y$E to tha Young, Self-Employed… Oh, tha Diamonds In The Dirt iz here…! Shout out ta Happy Perez for tha score, as tha bridge crosses below… Also, big-ups to Joe Mex, Koo & Matt fa playin’ big roles fa Max Pain…! Really feelin’ tha anticipation from tha start! I really can’t wait ta see what we got, throughout tha eras! How will I relate tha best to err-thang? We’ll see what it do. Fa now, can’t wait ta see how we gon start this thang off…! My Rating: 5.0
 
 
02. “History” (1:17 – 10:00)
How will we continue from here…?! >>>
 
1:37: I’m definitely feelin’ Max on tha directin’, once again, as tha BR levee proceeds below! Tha city buildings look awesome, too! I feel like I gon be ready fa a surprise, within each scene/set of footage!!
 
1:43: Tha LSU building literally looks 3D ta me!
 
1:53: Awesome evening shot with tha drone, with tha darkside of Baton Rouge’s bridge!
 
1:55: Wow, luvin’ tha instant attention-grabbers! S/O ta Sav, a.k.a. MobbGod! He, as well as us ‘80s babies, grew up in a unique era. Props fa holdin’ it down fa tha streetz…!
 
2:13: Damn, that 2016 flood was somethin’!
 
2:32: Tha crime rate in B.R. too bad-azz fa no reason…! Err-body who wanna be gunplay dis, “I hate you” dat should follow my energies, instead! Examples? Embrace an underground, Louisiana scene fa almost 15 years; review over 2,000 releases, overall, fa 16 years; do my own tri-weekly playlists fa 18 years; video-edit fa 20 years; do my own countdowns fa 22 years & film + act fa 23 years! That’s me, all tha way! But, I’m glad I’m accepted by B.R.!
 
4:31: Jimmy Swag with that eerie, top-selling value; feelin’ eerie when Max talks about tha “unfair investigation.” Also, crazy ending with that murder of February 19, 1986!
 
8:35: “Missing Kids” by Reality, bein’ B.R.’s 1st track? Crazy! Even havin’ one of tha Reality dudes all dressed for today’s reality!
 
9:18: “Yeah!!” to Greg Dukes & tha Billboard-chartin’ Reality!
 
9:54: Lol, same-shot jump-cut with Reality! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
03. “Kyper” (10:00 – 13:04)
>>>
 
11:08: S/O to Kyper! Tha ‘90s in tha buildin’—tha “club,” I should say!
 
12:21: Gotta luv tha Billboard-chartin’ feelin’, from B.R.!
 
12:38: Yeah, those are some okay terms; I mainly knew some of that underground shit as electronica, back in my dayz. My Rating: 4.0
 
 
04. “MC Nero” (13:04 – 16:50)
>>>
 
13:10: “…In tha techno-rap world…”; wow, ain’t realize they was ahead of me but I was only two, in 1990. It only took me a decade later to know about tha unique blending. I alwayz find myself pairing tha two genres together (mainly considered “dance” more than “techno” fa my pairing), as if they were collegemates, ya feel me?
 
13:23: S/O to Nero! Can’t believe it’s been a whole half-decade since he passed…! Long Live Nero! I filmed tha tribute video ta him at tha Jessup Rock Mountain in Jessup, PA; tha site I now use to occasionally test my legs out, after workin’ out durin’ tha week.
 
13:46: S/O to Shonta; I remember dat pic with tha Girbaud shirt…! All about dem throwback Bauds! Lol @ tha SSJC @ 13:53…! Lol @ tha “headphone” in tha opposite direction technique of rappin’! That’s tha Nero fa ya!
 
15:07: S/O to “I Gotta Lotta Respect”…! I just feel bad for him; by seein’ him interviewed in this documentary, it sounds like he was sufferin’ from somethin’. Sad ‘cause he had a “lotta respect” from err-body… Y’all musta got lucky & got him interviewed not that long b4 he passed?
 
15:48: Damn; tha damn diabetes killin’! Sad shit; it’s what Skull Duggrey’s goin’ thru right now! I pray fa him every night; I alwayz utilize my 100.00% confident, positive energies on him so he can pull through his dialysis shits! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
05. “Silky Slim” (16:50 – 20:52)
>>>
 
17:09: Tyme for The Bottom… Here come Silky Slim, all dressed to impress, too… Bottom Posse ownin’ tha B.R. streetz of tha ‘90s!
 
18:31: Lol @ when he mentions about tha “white guys”; it SSJCs! That combo goes together, imo!
 
19:26: Luv tha blurry effect; how eerie! Talk about life-changin’, too! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
06. “C-Loc, Da Camp & Boosie” (20:52 – 43:05)
>>>
 
21:08: C-Loc! S/O to Who’s Gonna Ride?! @ 22:30: SSJC, lol, but tha production aspect was dope! S/O to investing! Also, S/O to Young Bleed!
 
23:35: Yeah, Bleed! “Concentration Camp” iz tha “Camp” ta be! S/O to referencin’ your group, Lay-Lo, Max!
 
24:18: Tha world of Young Bleed! Loc knew it was a gem @ 24:41; glad they got they shine! Also, lol, Bleed’s eyez lookin’ up all tha tyme’s pretty eerie. It’s a street, eerie feeling that sends a legendary shockwave to tha viewer…!
 
26:23: Awesome feeling of ’98 ta know that Baton Rouge was on top of tha world, courtesy of Bleed! Tha gold feeling, too!
 
26:49: I miss them dayz where err-body would make a collective effort like Camp II: Da Halocaust & collab together… Also, shout out ta J-Von’s appearance; not used ta seein’ him on video so it’s great ta see him till this day…!
 
27:03: Yeah! Nice ta see Max Minelli in tha booth & bein’ interviewed!
 
28:21: These dark tymes for Da Camp are dark but they’re awesome ta hear, story-wise. Tha “differences” between Loc & Bleed are unfortunate that happened. However, I feel tha same way about one of my ex-idols from Baton Rouge. Like, you can be a top priority one day, then, those expectations don’t meet & you move on!
 
29:56: Props fa goin’ your own way, Max; that’s what a leader does! Tha Lay-Lo tyme, courtesy of Max, Von & Happy P!
 
30:04: When narrating Max’s voice transitions into interviewed Max’s voice, tha sound pops. Wanna get rid of tha pop? Just make a cross fade transition at tha beginning of tha video’s audio clip & set tha transition length ta only two frames. It gets rid of tha pop!
 
33:48: It’s Boosie tyme! Likin’ tha vintage Boosie footage, as well as tha newer Boosie footage…! Also, likin’ tha hidden mirror in tha newer footage, on tha top-right; double Boosieness, lol!
 
35:19: That awesome street brew from Loc & Camp III: Thug Brothas! Great mixin’ tha interview with tha vibe of tha Camp III: Thug Brothas! Also, Max chimin’ in, at tymes…!
 
36:03: That throwback beat alwayz makes me feel like it’s tha beginning of my Louisiana connection, again!
 
36:17: An audio-pop wit Boosie, lol—a young Boosie, that iz! Glad Max appreciates his contributions to tha game, especially at a young, teenage age!
 
37:12: That studio session wit Boosie, Loc & Max looks like one of those awesome, young nights that tha world felt carefree & easy. Meanwhile, you ain’t realize it would get harder up ahead. That throwback quality & Boosie shmokin’ a blunt back then = an awesome tyme to be alive!
 
38:35: When that teenage Boosie said, “I love doin’ what I do,” I look at that bein’ me, my 33-year-old perspective, at my current job. When people can’t understand how I come in at 100.00% confident, determined & positive, I just let it be known that my passion iz at max. level!
 
39:15: Oh boy, Max! “Just like tha last tyme, trouble was around tha corna.” I feel eerily anticipated…! Damn, Loc; ouch, ouch! We all have our sentencing tymes! Can’t believe there’s a snitch on one of our trails throughout our lifetyme!
 
40:04: “And, a halfway-finished Boosie debut album.” Deep…, so deep… Tha throwback footage of Boosie looks like he hungry, so it blends in nicely with a “Boosie debut album” only bein’ “a halfway-finished” project! Poor Biggy-Biggy-Boos’!
 
40:29: Luv how Max would help & take over fa Loc, while Loc was in tha pen! That’s tha real dedication! I alwayz show that type of dedication but I almost never get tha same back in return! That’s what makes me a legendary & an ordinary person boring till this day!
 
42:09: Crazy business transition fa Boosie, when he went from Camp Life Entertainment ta Trill Entertainment, especially while Loc was locked up…! Luv Loc’s dedication to tha game, all these years later! Props fa “shaping up” Baton Rouge & for havin’ so much power! My Rating: 4.9
 
 
07. “Beelow” (43:05 – 50:33)
>>>
 
43:34: It’s Beelow’s tyme to shine! Didn’t recognize him when I seen tha thumbnail on tha Tubi app; now, I recognize! All about them ‘90s dayz…! Also, Ice Gen in them dayz, too!
 
45:49: S/O to Thug Addict on tha interview, durin’ tha Beelow see-mo tymes, lol…!
 
46:34: S/O to Z-Man; them 2000’s dayz fa me & early connection dayz…! Luv how he produced & produced, like, acapella on tha interview, transitioning into tha track/video!
 
47:58: Luv Beelow’s anticipation & tha expectations he wants to bring outta people by bringin’ Max, Loc & Bleed on tha track with him!
 
48:32: Lol, already up to 2008? Them “Jigga Juice” dayz! Even on Music Choice Rap & all that! Tha world wasn’t ready fa Baton Rouge like I was, back at 19!
 
48:58: Oh, geez, what now, Beelow? What was your deal…?! Damn! Bad tyming, basically? Scary! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
08. “South Coast Coalition” (50:33 – 59:31)
>>>
 
50:56: What iz goin’ on with this staple in tha head?? Ohhhh…, here come tha South Coast Coalition!
 
51:44: S/O to Matt & B-Rock, sharin’ their stories…! Neva knew about that South Coast Flavor release from 27 years ago!
 
53:18: X-Figgy-Figgy-Fyle iz in tha buildin’…! Luv how his career started off early, thanx to that “keyboard” that was gifted to him…!
 
54:16: Awesome to see tha old equipment! I remember bein’ on a Mac for tha 1st tyme, back in September of 2001! I didn’t know what to expect with a different OS but it started a movement with my media, as tha years went on!
 
56:09: Life of tha awesome tymes! That’s where tha home videoz start & they started fa me, back on March 12, 1999! Crazy tymes…!
 
58:11: Oh, geez, here comes tha “brawl” of change…? So, 2007 was tha SCC’s final album & 2007 was also tha year my Louisiana connection started (October 11th). My Rating: 4.3
 
 
09. “DJ & Radio” (59:31 – 1:05:45)
>>>
 
1:00:11: Okay, okay; we’re goin’ to tha radio life…! Also, diggin’ tha naming of tha Baton Rouge people, too!
 
1:02:25: Nice ta hear about Max 94.1’s start…
 
1:02:36: J-Tweezy’s pants really blends in with tha color of tha background! Unexpected parallelness? Likin’ tha talkin’ of tha DJs, in reference to tha station… S/O Kool DJ Supa Mike & Bootsie checkin’ in…!
 
1:05:24: S/O to DJ Scrap & I’m diggin’ tha shoes in tha background! My Rating: 4.1
 
 
10. “Max Minelli” (1:05:45 – 1:17:18)
>>>
 
1:06:05: Interestin’ shit outside tha club; sad that Max was misjudged tha wrong way! Glad Max shinin’, tho!
 
1:07:17: Yeah, Max; continue bringin’ that leadership, even tho they came with hardshits…!
 
1:08:53: While seein’ Max name his albums in a chronologic order, I pause to think that there were more albums b4 I’m All I Got: Minelli World (2001) & Minelli World 2 (2002). I’ve had them for nine years & have yet to review ‘em. It’s just, when I asked Max tha names of tha tracks, he ain’t know ‘em. I may have to schedule myself to come to B.R. & have him relisten to ‘em & see, ya feel me?! It sucks that Max deals with “mental health issues.” That’s how I feel with my Asperger’s Syndrome, at tymes; luckily, all tha THC helps benefit my issues!
 
1:10:12: Lol @ “Badd Nerves” as “Nerves Badd”, Max! That almost reminds me of some shit that ain’t tha same: “Wuzzam, bitch?!” vs. “Bitch, wuzzam?!” Like, tha two sentence examples don’t create tha same tone. With that bein’ said, lol @ Max sayin’ “Nerves Badd” for “Badd Nerves”… Damn @ tha “collapsed lung” shit, too; ouch, Max!
 
1:11:31: “Find Me A Freak”: Max was tha 5th artist from Baton Rouge I eva heard, on March 23, 2006 @ 9:24 PM, when “Find Me A Freak” premiered on Music Choice Rap! Other B.R. artists I heard b4 Max? Big Head & Mouse, on July 6, 2005 (Webbie’s Savage Life); Webbie, on April 1, 2005 @ 6:07 PM (“Give Me That”) & Boosie, on February 12, 2005 (“Baby Mama”)! Facts!
 
1:11:42: Oh, The Remedy! I was just thinkin’ at work, as “U Gotta Luv Me Baby” played through my head & I was like, “Damn, that song iz 14 years-old, already! Like, tha age I’m at, now, iz four years older than when Max dropped ‘U Gotta Luv Me Baby’!” Damn @ Koch, tho, tryna snatch your longevity & long-lasting leadership!
 
1:13:05: Oh, boy, Dead Game!
 
1:14:31: It sux when you lose some1 real close; I don’t really like speakin’ on tha subject ‘cause I feel like it brings depressed vibes outta people. However, I will say that thankfully, my mom has gotten thru her breast cancer/chemo bullshit & iz on tha way to fully shakin’ back! Tha whole tyme, from December 11, 2020 – now, it’s all about prayers but most importantly, tha determination, consistency & positivity to pull through anything you goin’ thru!
 
1:15:36: Funny how Mikki Gunz made “Feelings” a year ago, basically, havin’ tha hook based off of Max Minelli’s shit from years & years b4…
 
1:16:16: Awesome feelin’ ta be with Sway; gotta keep scorin’! Nice outro vibe of Max Minelli’s part, too! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
11. “Outro & Credits” (1:17:18 – 1:24:07)
>>>
 
1:17:21: Looks like it’s ending? A look at tha Rouge? Yeah, J-Tweezy; it’s all about tha amount of history in such a small city! I feel like that with myself, as I generated a lot of history in such tha small house I stay at. Also, shout out to Savage for appearin’ in his own interview, randomly.
 
1:17:59: How in tha hell all them together in a room like dat? Aren’t we tryna find tha unity? Don’t I have tha power to get err-body together in a room?
 
1:18:15: Oh, God, tha YoungBoy era! Coming soon to a Diamonds In The Dirt near you!! Everybody, drop what you’re doin’, even if it’s a funeral, smh! It finna be YoungBoy tyme!! Good grief, lol!
 
1:18:40: I like that: “high energy street music,” via C-Loc. Every night, while I’m at work, or even just in my daily life, I channel err-body from Baton Rouge’s energy into my own! Tha response I get from people iz as if I have unlimited energy, sometimes! Even durin’ this review; I hit my pen & almost thought I wasn’t gonna make it through tha review. However, I didn’t even stop to eat & just had ta finish it ‘cause there’s only 90 minutes left of 225 Day!
 
1:18:45: Ain’t realize who dat was, at first; S/O to Mouse! Now that I’m finally movin’ around, Mouse & I should finally meet up! Mouse, I know that was your goal four dayz after you turned 30; on October 23, 2014, you tweeted me, “man I appreciate you so much my G! Hopefully one day I get to meet u soon and kick it with you. Much love and appreciation!,” after I wished him a Happy Birthday outta scratch-off lottery tickets. With that bein’ said, can we wish for a BIG event for Mouse & I, one day?!
 
1:19:11: Yeah! Luv tha 225 Slang 101 w/Max Minelli goin’ on!
 
1:19:57: BJ…!
 
1:20:41: Awesome rhymin’, in a narration/spoken-word flow, with tha Diamonds In The Dirt definition!
 
1:20:56: Luvin’ how tha credits are scrollin’ & B.R. music iz playin’ in tha background! That’s tha way ta do it!
 
1:22:23: After seein’ all tha artist/titles come up, it makes me think of my credits. I actually list ‘em, too & on anotha screen, I list tha label info of all tha songs.
 
1:22:46: Interestin’ to see tha whole list of tha Special Thanks! It’s like lookin’ at an old yearbook or somethin’ with these names! Makes me feel a lil’ uncomfortable ‘cause 11 of tha names either had unexpected beef wit me, hit a lick on me or owe me. None of tha 11 came up in this review but for tha next review, there may be some parts I may have to either skip or not leave feedback on.
 
1:22:49: Luv seein’ my name! People tend to have trouble spellin’ it, tho. “FrankieThaLuckyDog” iz tha real spelling, from November 4, 2002; other spellings I’ve seen were “Frankie The Lucky Dog” (like tha credits), “Frankie Tha Lucky Dog” & “FrankieTheLuckyDog”. In tha end, it’s “FrankieThaLuckyDog” but I recognize tha shout-out!
 
1:23:02: Nice ta see tha R.I.P. section; I know there’s a few I would add but for now, one that I can think off tha top of my head, Big Fancy! Glad he believed in me, durin’ those younger tymes of mine!
 
1:24:00: Luv tha Greg Dukes part, again, with tha “trunk” & tha “bmmm-bmmm-bmmm-bmmm!” My Rating: 4.8
 
 
Overall: Even tho this ain’t tha whole Diamonds In The Dirt, it still hit 100% home fa me, courtesy of tha B.R. history! Luv all tha artists I grew up to, makin’ me channel they energy into tha dude I am till this day! I thought tha editing was dope; some same-shot parts had jump-cuts & there were a few audio-pops but I give y’all props fa makin’ somethin’ like this! I was excited ta see that I made tha film, in tha credits. I can’t imagine what people had to say about me; I’m lucky I made just about two stacks durin’ my 15-year Louisiana connection. That ain’t enough ta pay shit! I hope I do get recognized more; some people are recognizin’ me but I think I deserve ta have what a legend has: financial & respected success! With that bein’ said, I can’t wait ta see tha next Diamonds In The Dirt & I give major props ta err-body that contributed to this!

Review #2,015: Phat Baby "Stepchild (Deluxe)"

Reviewed on 2.23.2022 (Review #2,015)
Live Review Link: *COMING SOON*
 
 
What it do? What it do? This yo boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog, ya heard me? I finna get into my 2,015th review, eva! I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this new Phat Baby release we got! Phat Baby, p.k.a. Y.B. For Initials, f.k.a. YB (b4 that damn YoungBoy)! This right chea iz Stepchild (Deluxe); this iz just how I feel about bein’ tha “stepchild” to my stepdad. You know, it makes life an extra life somewhere. You know, you have an inconsistent way of appreciating & under-appreciating things, I guess? People don’t understand who you iz but that’s where I come into tha picture. Me & my autistic stoner rapper-ass, ya heard me?! But yeah, gettin’ into this Phat Baby Stepchilid (Deluxe), courtesy of Don’t Die Wondering Music Group…! I was ‘posed ta do this review a week ago, on tha 16th. However, even tho I wanted to enjoy tha snow, I got hit wit an injury at my job from carin’ too much; it fucked me up…! Had ta kinda shake back, even tho I ain’t even take a day off, except for tha dayz off I had. I ain’t call off or nothin’; I’m a soulja, ya heard me? I’m an ‘80s babies in my 30’s! ‘80s babies in our 30’s! But, Phat Baby a ‘90s baby, right chea! With tha original Stepchild, with only four tracks on it, I really felt that you had tha dinosaur in tha background. With tha deluxe cover, you know, I have to put my two pennies in on this one! I just don’t appreciate tha money flashin’, even tho Long Live Looney & King Joe, ya heard me? They were my people—tha underground of Baton Rouge, you know, alwayz luv y’all to tha fullest, especially Looney! I got mad luv fa him but I have tha exclusive Looney, money-flashingless pics! Maybe, a pic or two or three or four, you know? You coulda hit me up; you know & prolly got one of those on there! That was courtesy of me but you know, that’s where I put my stamp on it. I alwayz put my stamp on people in Baton Rouge, ya heard me?! Over 14 years strong & on our 15th year this year, so I’m lookin’ forward ta that! I dunno, this review may be just a lil’ decent? We’ll have to see how it goes but fa now, I finna climb this Moosic Mountain trail, right chea! This iz tha Moosic Mountain, in Jessup, PA; we’re broadcastin’ from Jessup, PA, Northeast PA, at tha Moosic Mountain, right chea, with Phat Baby Stepchild (Deluxe)! Start Tyme: 9:56 AM | End Tyme: 11:37 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 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. “-6”
>>> There been tymes this year that been feelin’ like “-6,” ya heard me?! Just dealin’ with that cold-ass winter we currently in but you know what? It’ll be gone 2morrow, just like a breeze! That’s how I feel with this…! >>> Kickin’ it off with tha social media shit, okay?! Here come da muthafuckin’ wind; whoo!! We’re gonna blow away! I’m really feelin’ tha aggression that you bringin’ to tha table! Ya know, I was talkin’ ‘bout dat YoungBoy; I feel like he coulda jacked your style ‘cause in comparison, it just sounds like you’re bringin’ a vibe that he should embrace! And, give credit to: that B.R. sound to tha fullest! From tha hook transitionin’ to tha 1st verse & tha greatness you were bringin’ to tha table with tha aggression—or should I say, only verse—I feel it; tha aggression iz definitely what’s up! Just keep bein’ an underdog; it’s all about tha underdogz, ya heard me?! All day, every day! “Negative 6”; that’s what it iz! Nice lil’ outro, here! Ya know what? That should be tha rating! “-6” from a perfect muthafuckin’ rating [-0.6]! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
02. “Smoke Scent”
A part of me wants ta think that you gon be freestylin’ off of a slow jam/high-kinda track? It’s 10:09, right now! It’s Greg Dukes’ birthday tyme but also, King Joe birthday tyme! 10:09! 10/09! Long Live King Joe! Slow freestyle? Two words! #2, with 2:02 on tha length, as yesterday was 2.22.22! >>> Like, you really “mmm-mmm”/hummin’, here, with tha “mmm-mmm” intro! I would say, definitely somethin’ catchy, right chea! I just luv your aggression on tha track, again! Yeah, “go opp shop”…ping, that iz! Yeah, “‘Never Scared’, like Bone Crusher”; 19 years ago, just like my boombox I still use ev’ry muthafuckin’ day! Yeah, “like a shark, don’t reel ‘em in ‘cause he on [yo] line!” Beware! Phat Baby comin’ through phat with tha “mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm!” When you came in with tha “Smoke Scent”, it sounded like your vocals were a lot louder than tha music/tha beat in tha background? So, that masterin’ was, I wouldn’t say it was all 100% there but I definitely felt everythang else: tha beat, just keepin’ it goin’ with this 225 heat! This iz what it’s all about, right chea! If you want me ta show luv ta somethin’, it gotta be that 225 heat! You know what tha sound iz! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
03. “My Steppa”
Anotha 225 future throwback? I definitely feel like it’s gonna be in that category, based off of me just seein’ tha “My Steppa” as tha title…! That’s my anticipation; that’s my preview! Let’s get into it…! >>> Yeah, I can feel like Looney would be on tha beat; so, shout out to tha 225 underdog! Yeah, “Pay yo fuckin’ cable bill if you don’t want no static!” Yeah, I’m definitely feelin’ a great vibe off this track, right chea! Anotha awesome Baton Rouge sound, wit your focused, energized, dope ego! Dope 1st ver—oh wait, dope verse! Take tha “1st” out ‘cause there’s only one verse! But, tha hook? Tha hook dope, too! You know, you just somethin’! “You don’t want no static!” ZzzzZz-ZZzzzZ-ZZzzZZz!! Just goin’ duffy in dis bitch, with all this water right chea! My Rating: 4.9
 
 
04. “Bloody Commas”
I’ono… Iz it gonna be this crazy money song? >>> I feel like it’s not gonna go well with how my dedication iz… Hearin’ you say, “Tha streetz be murda; tha streetz be murda, aye!” [Nice!] Sounds like an okay 1st verse, you know? At least you have a catchy flow ta go with this decent beat… I would say it sounds okay; I mean, I guess this iz for tha streetz but I mean, it’s still good. It’s just, I like tha other energies better… My Rating: 4.0
 
 
½tyme: It’s off to a pretty dope start; I’m definitely feelin’ tha tracks! YB, as I know you as, you really settin’ tha fiya, here, courtesy of your flow, your aggression & just tha way you be spittin’ dem rhymes wit tha Baton Rouge sound! Keepin’ it hot fa tha streetz, for tha clubs, for err-body to appreciate! Currently, we are at a 4.5 for tha average rating—for tha ½tyme! Props ta you, Y-Biggy-Biggy-B! Phat Biggy-Biggy-Baby!! Now, we finna continue on tha 2nd ½ of Stepchild (Deluxe)! Stay tiggy-tiggy-tuned!!
 
 
05. “Soulja Lyfe Mentality”
I think this one’s gonna be pretty stunning with tha lyrical content but iz it addressed tha way that tha Baton Rouge heads gon luv? >>> I feel like this production sounds dope with this beginning beat; yeah, “Long Live Looney!” It reminds me of a Fredo Bang track! “Just got off tha phone wit Gates.” You talkin’ ‘bout my boy born on February 5, 1986? Kevin Gates?! I don’t get tired—I neva get tired! Alwayz wired! Don’t get tired, alwayz wired!! Think of that! Yeah, “potent taste”; these are “potent” rhymes, ya heard me?! “Shattered like a broken vase”; yeah! Buku pieces, right there! I definitely agree! You know, where you have so many stories! Me at 33? Definitely, definitely got a bunch of stories to tell & I can’t wait to tell ‘em in tha future! I can tell ‘em many tymes! This one got a 2nd verse & it soundin’ pretty dope with how you comin’ through with that, what I’d say, what-inspired-YoungBoy-type flow…! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
06. “Murder She Wrote”
It’s prolly gonna be how I felt about tha track’s anticipation level, as far as my preview. Just seems like it could be somethin’ for tha streetz…? Let’s just see if you combine tha right vibes, here… >>> This iz soundin’ a lot better than I thought it would be with tha beat start, here…! Yeah, “I’ono need no help”; looka, I’m doin’ this by myself, again! Runnin’ all five lines on my floor by myself! “My 3’s up”; yeah, shout out ta YB—you, with tha initials, Youngblood! Yeah, havin’ tha injury a week ago & doin’ this, climbin’ this Moosic Mountain, this that shit…! I’m invincible; I got stamina like no other! Pretty-catchy 1st verse & tha hook sounds pretty great, you know, how you feel nuttin’! Nuttin’! I like how you made your own version of “Murder She Wrote”, back from tha ‘90s; ol’ skool! Sounds cool; sounds like tha 2nd verse popped up outta nowhere & really tried to catch tha end of tha hook & introduced itself so fast… That transition caught me off guard but… You ain’t “nuttin’” to these people on yo dick ‘cause you know what? You got tha shit on lock, Phat Baby! That’s right! “P-H-A-T” all diggy-diggy-day!! Tha 2nd verse still soundin’ pretty good, tho, so I’ll give you them props…; beat definitely on point… My Rating: 4.3
 
 
07. “Rebel”
Oh yeah, this iz tha title right chea! >>> I don’t know what to make out with tha beat; I feel like it could be, like, a mainstreamy-like rap track? A freestyle, it seems like, over this beat… It’s more like a mainstream vs. a northeast-type beat, here… But, I’m feelin’ how you flowin’ this shit, ya know? It’s really important tha facts you spittin’ for tha street. I like how you’re holdin’ it down with “tha streets don’t luv nobody”; yeah. I know people hate me/don’t luv me but I just know ta keep bein’ consistent. My Rating: 3.7
 
 
08. “Murder Him”
It’s gonna probably be lyrical for tha streetz… >>> I heard tha “wow-wow” & I knew from that 1st second [Baton Rouge sound]! We’ll see… Definitely dat heat comin’ from dat Rouge! Rhymes are pretty dope; you just let tha rhymes take ova…! Consistent rhymes till tha bone gristle! Getchu elevated! Elevated!!! That’s what I luv about tha mountain; you can just scream…! Great job with tha 1st verse & once again, tha hook’s got that catchiness! I definitely am diggin’ that you kept a lot of tha beat outro, here & just let tha beat ride! People need this in they ride ta ride to, ya heard me?! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
09. “Tombstone”
It’s like R.I.P. to tha run we’re havin’ ‘cause we’re on our way back! I dunno, I don’t want this to be depressin’; I just want this to be somethin’ good… Quality for tha streetz but I luv that Baton Rouge sound! I can’t stress it enough! >>> “Percocet painkiller”?! Luvin’ this “Percocet” part! “Fried like some catfish”; that’s right! You “fried,” cookin’ up da “fried” goods, that iz! I’m glad you’re continuin’ where Looney left off ‘cause you know what it iz! I know you’re goin’ thru your shit wit your sentence & err-thang; I went thru mine I got mine done! I can’t believe it’s fuckin’ been five months, already! Five months today, I got off probation! Where tha hell did tha tyme go?! Wow, “Tombstone witcho name!” That’s YB for ya, meaning you, For Initials, ya heard me?! Tryna go after that Looney killer; yeah! Fuck tha Looney killer! How dare you kill my lil’ homie!! I was five older than him, too! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
Overall: It was great ta listen to Phat Baby & just really appreciate him. You know, gettin’ tha opportunity to make more music again, after servin’ tyme & just really holdin’ it down fa tha undaground of Baton Rouge/225! Shout out Phat Baby; great job with most of tha tracks’ beats…! You know what it iz!
