R.I.P. Video #84: D-Matic Da Beast



Recorded June 25, 2022
Released July 25, 2022

Broadcasting from outside ThaAntidote.com (Tha Antidote), here in Downtown Baton Rouge, LA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog, sadly reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community.

Howard Joseph Evans, Jr., known by his stage name D-Matic Da Beast, was fatally struck by an 18-wheeler head-on, drivin' down LA 30, westbound, on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, shortly after 10:30 PM; he was only 36 years-old. Evans was a native of New Orleans, LA but a long-tyme resident of Prairieville, LA. Evans graduated from Saint Amant High School, back in 2003. In 2009, Evans released his debut, Belly Of The Beast, courtesy of Gangsta Gumbo Music. Evans continued learning by attending ITI Technical College, later graduating with honors in 2012, in Process Technology. In 2015, Evans debuted his clothing brand called "VilleLyfe", to tha world. As tha years went on, Evans would help out by collaborating with Baton Rouge-based media outlet, ThaAntidote.com. Tryin' to keep it goin' for tha media, Evans' life was cut short on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, when he was struck head-on by an 18-wheeler. Today, July 25, 2022, would've been Evans' 37th birthday; FrankieThaLuckyDog would like to wish Evans a Happy 37th Birthday in Heaven!


Memories:
- On January 28, 2010, I first heard D-Matic on Kenner, LA DJ, Jimmy The DJ's Gangsta Gumbo, Vol. 4: The Audacity Of Dope & I reviewed tha mixtape.

- On May 30, 2010, I reviewed D-Matic's Belly Of The Beast release. Tha review turned out to be positive, as I gave tha release a 4.1 average rating.

- "Life Is Hectic" peaked @ #82 on my tri-weekly playlist ending 9.05.2010, totaling 16 spins.

- "Life Is Hectic" was featured on my Tha Louisiana Archives, Vol. 3: Chameleon-Changin' Chemicalz compilation, released on September 22, 2010.

- "Life Is Hectic" ranked #240 on my Top 575 Songs of 2010 year-end countdown with a grand total of 40 spins.

- On February 7, 2021, while randomly stoppin' at ThaAntidote.com, I met D-Matic inside. Even tho we ain't get a pic or drop, it was still an awesome moment.

Review #1,431: Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I. "The Gift & The Curse"

Reviewed on 1.31.2015 (Review #1,431)


Just a few more hours before tha month ends… This CD I finna review from 2013 and it’s sponsored by P.C.O. Entertainment, once again: Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I. The Gift & The Curse! Start Time: 6:03 PM | End Time: 6:42 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 use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

© 2015 CD Review (Review #1,431) reviewed on 1.31.2015 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Gift & The Curse”
Without tha “The,” lol? >>> Nice piano to start this off… Sounds like we slowed thangz down since tha Luv 4 Da Streets disc… Tha hook sounds nice, and even though tha beat’s nice, it sounds like this gon be more on a boring level than tha Luv 4 Da Streets songs? Either way, I fux witcha, Dizzy; gotta feel your rhymes on tha 1st verse, includin’ those “cops sirens” at 1:17, lol… Oh, and no hook, here? Yeah, this gon be boring fa 5:15; that’s real long, especially wit no features… Overall, great rhymes, but too long fa an intro track! My Rating: 3.5


02. “Geto Boyz” feat. Raj Smoove
Here comes tha Smoove in tha beginning of tha disc, once again… >>> Instantly started, here, with anotha slower-soundin’ beat… Nice rhymes, once again, though this kinda boring, too… Damn, anotha one without a hook? Oh, I hear it, but damn, no transition in tha beat? Yuck… Nice mixin’ from Raj toward tha end of this track… My Rating: 3.1


03. “Shit 2getha” feat. UTP Skip
Yeah! >>> Pretty aggressive wit tha beginning and that’s “Fuck you” movie sample in tha beginning… Okay, this sounds much betta; hearin’ an actual hook with a beat transition first, and it sounds nice! Yeah, I have ta agree wit this title, especially during 2013, when I ain’t have my “shit 2getha!” I was dick-suckin’ this dude (and, when I say that, I mean, “Dickridin’,” but I stress my vulgar wording due to I got screwed in tha end) from Baton Rouge, who’s a rapper/producer. He still owes me $400 for me savin’ his career and it sux how tha whole year was him, him, him, and he blocked me! It’s like, R.I.P. 2013 fa me! Anyway, nice shit from you on tha 1st verse, Dizzy; gotta feel how you puttin’ it down on tha track, here… Hearin’ Skip on tha 2nd verse and he’s got tha aggressive voice, too; gotta luv how he comes through hard on tha track! Dizzy, here you are on tha 3rd verse (almost thought tha whole UTP was on this, accordin’ to tha ID, but it just says, “UTP Skip,” which iz just Skip); nice job, Diz! And, endin’ it wit a quick lil’ snippet from that movie, once again… My Rating: 4.2


04. “Bananaz”
Whoooooot!! >>> Beat Doctor on tha beat, here… Diggin’ tha beat, here; a catchier, slower beat with a nice hook wit you goin’ “bananaz!” Wow @ tha 1st verse: “Eat your body like… cancer;” interestin’ how you spit dat… Once again, you doin’ a nice job wit tha 1st verse, spittin’ like you need to spit rhymes… Tha 2nd verse sounds like you’re ready fa tha hoes, here, wit how you describin’ their actions as “bananaz,” lol… “Bitch, I’m from New Orleans, hear it in my grammar;” already! “Ya heard me!” A nice lil’ bridge/outro, here, with those few spots you mentioned dat go “bananaz.” LOL, there weren’t that many spots… Also, hope there’s a faster-soundin’ song on this CD, too…; you need them faster club bangaz, Dizzy! My Rating: 4.1


05. “So Faded” feat. Mugsy & Rantz Davis
>>> Sounds nice and scary for tha beginning beat… Um, it went from a gay-soundin’ voice in tha bcakground to a hot-soundin’, synth-soundin’ beat! Nice job wit tha 1st verse, Dizzy, handlin’ tha beat well…! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s that voice… Even though it sounds weird, at least tha beat and tha content of bein’ “faded” sounds nice! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty nice, too, here; good shit… Hearin’ Mugsy on tha 3rd verse and it’s good, even though tha Luv 4 Da Streets times sounded catchier… My Rating: 4.2


½time: This album was off to a boring start, but it picked up slightly toward tha 2nd ¼… So far, tha CD rating’s at a 3.8; let’s keep this goin’…


06. “Ever Since” feat. Kourtney Heart
Once I saw Kourtney’s name, I instantly thought of Magnolia Shorty… >>> Not feelin’ tha beginning beat; sounds real soft… Even though this has a bounce vibe in tha beat, I’m not really into this. Kourtney ain’t too bad, like a Jennifer Hudson on tha hook, but I’m not too crazy about this R&B-soundin’ shit… Here’s you on tha 1st verse and it sounds like you’ve been inflicted by your “brother” and his death… Okay, a quicker verse, this time; at least it’s not that long… Here’s tha 2nd verse and did “fuck” get censored? An okay verse… Even got Kourtney on tha lil’ bridge, here, missin’ ‘em… My Rating: 2.8


07. “Downtown Nigga” feat. 8-9 Boyz & Kidd Kidd
Nice collab? >>> Samplin’ SWV and their “Downtown,” here; makes sense… I’m diggin’ how y’all turned this into a 2013 version, fa tha N.O., here… Hearin’ tha beginning and it sounds nice… Okay, keepin’ it goin’ wit these 8-9 Boyz; sound okay to hear… Glad to hear that err-body on they grind… Good ta hear you, too, here… Kidd on tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ good ta collab wit, as well. Props fa shoutin’ out Sess 4-5’s “Nuthin’ But Fire Records,” too. My Rating: 4.2


08. “Fuck A Hook” feat. Paasky & 3D Na’Tee
Before tha “Hot Nigga” no-hook song, lol? >>> Beat’s only decent, here, but it works… Here you are on tha 1st verse and you’re comin’ through wit some nice shit, at least… Either way, this just a decent combination, between tha verse and tha beat; nothing striking for me… No “hook,” just like tha title, and it’s Paasky on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit regular-soundin’ rhymes… We got Na’Tee on tha 3rd verse, here, and she’s got some nice rhymes, here… Yeah, how can they call her “average?” She’s always been holdin’ tha rhymes down! My Rating: 3.8


09. “24/7” feat. Mugsy & Teco
Nice collab, once again? >>> Sounds nice with a B.G. sample and that “24/7” repeatin’ on tha hook, as well as Teco holdin’ tha hook down, on this beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good from you, Diz; keep holdin’ it down… Hearin’ Mugsy on tha 2nd verse and it’s an okay verse fa me; tha flow’s a lil’ catchy, with how it’s delivered… You’re on tha 3rd verse, here, Dizzy…; ehh, it’s okay. I mean, there’s nothin’ wrong wit this joint; it just doesn’t strike me easily, like tha older songs… Oh yeah, I like when tha “7” repeats, in tha beat, like, “7—7—7—7—7—7—7,” lol… My Rating: 3.7


10. “2 Fli”
Yup! >>> Beat’s a lil’ soft for this ending track, which kinda fits… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it sounds like it passes tha test, at least… Bleh, a sample on tha hook; it’s whateva… Tha 2nd verse’s only okay, too; nothin’ special, here… My Rating: 2.5


Overall: I’ono… This was just a decent album for me; nothin’ really strikin’ outta it… Only a 4.2’s my highest rating? I’ono… Prolly could’ve had a few faster beats, but not really on tha R&B side… Also, a few tracks bored me with too many rhymes and a lack of transitioning tha beats… But, hopefully, you’ll be hittin’ me up when you drop a new disc; lemme know!

Review #1,349: Sess 4-5 "#SeeWutDatDo"

Reviewed on 12.07.2013 (Review #1,349)


I finna do a live review—my 8th live review eva, for my boy, outta dat N.O./New Orleans/504: It’s Sess 4-5, from Nuthin’ But Fire Records! Finna review his #SeeWutDatDo CD! I’m very anticipated for it, so I waited ‘til it was snowing out, to do a live review. Just to mix nature with some 2013 bounce vibes, ya feel me? Without further or do, I finna get inta this. But, before I do, just gotta say, big what up to my big dawg, outta New Orleans also, Fila Phil, for gettin’ me in touch wit you, Sess; you know what it iz! Just luv y’all ta death! Start Time: 9:16 AM | End Time: 11:46 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 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 an artist who claimed they “get money,” 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!!

© 2013 CD Review (Review #1,349) reviewed on 12.07.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Intro
It’s only six seconds! We have ta hashtag “SeeWutDatDo” right now, as I play you tha intro! >>> Good job! I appreciate you waking up every day, just knowin’ that you made anotha day! My Rating: N/A


02. “Sidewayz” Feat. Magnolia Chop
I thought it was tha song wit Magic, at first, ‘cause I see that there’s a collaboration on here! This prolly gon make me bounce in this 20-degree little snowstorm I’m in, while I’m reviewin’ this! >>> Wow, really poundin’ it!! Tha production sounds insane; nice job!!! No “bitch;” no “hoe,” here; always keepin’ it real! No need fa anyone ta “come at [you],” “sidewayz,” Sess! Definitely “‘bout ya bidness;” I always see you postin’ on Instagram! You really gettin’ it in! Yea, you definitely gon “die old;” you actually are prolly still young, anyway! Strictly fa tha streetz and tha clubz, here! You got tha double combination on lock, bruh! Yea, you talk about tha “situations [gettin’] fucked-up, real quick;” I definitely agree wit you on tha 2nd verse, right here! You tell it like it iz on tha 2nd verse; thumbs up! I’m definitely feelin’ it!! Got a lil’ 3rd verse/bridge from Magnolia Chop! “It iz what it iz;” I feel ya!! “It iz what it iz,” once again!! Just gotta luv that bridge, right there! You know, shout out ta havin’ a bridge on tha track, Sess! Real nice job, right there! I definitely was feelin’ it! And, as much as this car just wants ta just sit here and watch me, I gon rate this joint right now a… My Rating: 4.7


03. “My Time”
I’m just excited ta hear it; lemme hear this joint! >>> “Blaq N Mild on tha track;” it sounds nice! “You don’t grind, you don’t shine; that’s all that’s on [ya] mind,” Sess! Thumbs up! You sound great on tha track; you neva get old!! “Patience iz a virtue;” I definitely feel ya ‘cause I have a lot of it ta be in tha snow, right now!! Yea, “they fell off;” people don’t last! We last! You “feel” good on tha 1st verse; gotta luv ya! You definitely are “tha man;” it’s definitely not one day! It’s now!! Yea, I’m startin’ ta get a lotta haterz, all of a sudden! People don’t like me anymore, but I could give a middle finger, right now! Props on tha 2nd verse, right there! My Rating: 4.6


04. “So Much Money” Feat. 6 Ward Pook & Young Sino
I can’t wait ta hear this collaboration! I’m just layin’ down on, like, a snow bed, right now! Let’s see what happens with this! I might’ve heard this before, and just didn’t tolerate it. But, I think I feel betta now… >>> Technically, I’m not inta “money” songs, but I see how you be doin’ it, in tha club, so I gotta give ya props! This, literally, sounds like a bullshit song, technically, if it was someone else. I would skip it; like, I think I did when I first heard it, but, gotta feel it now! You do own a lot, Sess: You know, tha Nuthin’ But Fire Records; tha Nuthin’ But Fire store. So, technically, you are makin’ “so much money.” Wow, “100K a month,” Sess? You gotta spend some of dat on me, ya dig? I mean, who would freeze ta death in tha snow, reviewin’ your CD right now? Got tha Pook “fulla dem racks” on tha 2nd verse, here! Glad he be on tha “block!” Yea, “on dat good!” Props fa followin’ me on Instagram, Pook! Young Sino on tha 3rd verse, here…; just gotta feel tha vibe! Yea, “do what tha fuck [you] wanna!” Glad you have so much access! “Gettin’ buzzed like Lightyear;” nice lil’ play on words, there! I betta see a bunch of “stacks” from y’all! If I’m givin’ y’all a 4.2 fa this, I betta see some “stacks!” My Rating: 4.2


05. “#SeeWutDatDo” Feat. Mr. Magic
Props fa havin’ tha legendary Magic on tha track! It’s sad that he got in tha car accident, just like Paul Walker did, only one week ago today! So, I’m definitely lookin’ forward! I know this gon be some hyped-up shit! As I find a position on where to go, let’s get inta this right now! >>> Sounds like a jam already! You really wildin’ on this joint, right now; tha hook sounds great!! “On tha back like a tattoo;” tha undisputable Sess…on tha 1st verse!! “Blow tha purp by da pound;” gotta luv ya!! Yea, gettin’ “it on,” right now! You can’t stop jiggin’ and groovin’ ta this one!! Ageless sound, right here!! It doesn’t even fit, like, a typical 2013 category! It could be 2004, like, you can tell, like, this sounds ageless! You just know how ta have tha quality in your music!! It’s actually snowin’ flurries, as we speak! And Sess, you keepin’ it cold on tha 2nd verse! Just so consistent in how you sound!! Wow, Sess, you really had it goin’ on on tha 2nd verse, right there! Alright, time fa tha great new sound of Magic!! Or, was that him on tha 2nd verse? I couldn’t tell; y’all sound alike! [I think, Magic’s in tha background of tha hook…] Scream: “Nuthin’ But Fire!!!” Alright, definitely feelin’ it! I gon stand up and say it’s worth a 4.8! Definitely a “genius,” just like tha outro says! My Rating: 4.8


06. “Hatin’” Feat. Jesse James & Young Sino
I just am lookin’ forward to it! There’s just somethin’ about you, of course, that makes me anticipated! I’m real glad you got luv fa me, so I’m very excited ta hear this one, as well!! >>> Anotha “gettin’ money” joint, it sounds like… Why would anyone wanna “hate” on you, anyway? Tha beat sounds great!! “Anything you want, [Sess], you can touch,” on tha 1st verse! Props how you have “all tha connects!” You really providin’ it fa these ladies, Sess!! You know why? ‘Cause you neva age!!! Again, it could’ve been anotha bullshit-soundin’ song, but you made it sound like an anthem! “Even on your birthday, you don’t get cake!” Yea, Jesse James, tell it like it iz!! From nothin’ ta somethin’; I feel ya, Jesse, as you’re doin’ ya thang on tha 2nd verse! Young Sino sounds great on this beat, doin’ tha damn thang on tha 3rd verse! Gotta luv how he came through, also; y’all really livin’ it up!! My Rating: 4.4


07. “Maxed Out” Feat. Turk & Max Minelli
From tha N.O. to B.R., just like DJ 5150 & Dre would say! I’m definitely anticipatin’ this one! I mean, you prolly put some work inta gettin’ Max on tha track and Turk? I mean, Fila Phil even said Turk knows about me, so that’s a good look!! >>> Really feelin’ tha beginning, right now; that beat sounds real anticipatin’!! Wow, just “like a credit card”? Y’all doin’ it big; tha hook sounds nice!! Sess comin’ through like a rack truck on tha 1st verse, here! Nice job on tha 1st verse, Sess; doin’ tha damn thang!! T-to-tha-U-to-tha-R-to-tha-freaky-freaky-K!! I’m really feelin’ how he comin’ through on this! It definitely sounds like a great comeback verse!! You’re overseas-in’ it!! He just killin’ it, right now; I feel tha aggression in his voice!! That’s tha highlight verse of this CD, so far!! Turk, you killed it on tha 2nd verse!! Okay, like he said in ’08: “Time ta rip it off like tha plastic seal,” here’s Max Minelli on tha 3rd verse! He sounds catchy, as always! He always holds it down fa tha streetz! Yea, Max! “Shout out ta Sess 4-5;” gotta show him buku luv!! Go somewhere and freeze your ass off in tha cold, and review a CD of his! That’ll be tha ultimate FrankieThaLuckyDog match, as far as a reputation! Yea, “Blaq N Mild,” such a “genius!!” Who would’ve thought he produced this?! Definitely—prolly would say that that’s tha top-rated joint off tha CD, so far, but it’s a tiebreaker! A 4.8!! So, shout out ta all y’all fa rippin’ tha track up!! My Rating: 4.8


08. “Breakfast In Bed” Feat. Detriot, 6 Ward Pook & Young Sino
Detriot, not “Detroit.” This looks like a catchy title. I gon review it on a mountain, right now, fulla snow! So, let’s see how it turns out ta be! Tha last joint was pretty lucky, so hopefully, by bein’ on tha mountain, it’ll be just as lucky [as, tha last joint, I was right below tha mountain]! >>> Bouncin’ on tha mountain, right now; this iz jammin’!! It sounds like, like, almost like a corny Lil’ Wayne-like song, but you can’t deny it—hence that this iz like New Orleans! How could you not deny Sess?! Oh, really cookin’ up that “breakfast” on tha 1st verse, Sess; I feel ya! This iz like tha complete opposite of bed, right now; look at this! No warmness, here!! 6 Ward Pook comin’ through, feelin’ “good” on tha 2nd verse, here! Wow, in tha “king size,” no less! I’m sure you deliverin’ a king-sized meal, Pook! Yea, you gotta trust Sino on tha 3rd verse, here! Nice job on tha 3rd verse, Sino; it sounds like a hit single! An extra car came; I’m watchin’ it go by [as, they’re lookin’ at me on this mountain]! My Rating: 4.4


½time: I have ta say, excellent CD; I knew this was gonna be great! That’s why I went in tha freezin’ cold ta review this! I think, if I’m doin’ tha math right, tha average CD rating iz a 4.6, which qualifies for five stars!!! Yes, Sess; a five-star-rated CD!! You really gettin’ it in! I luv tha ageless-soundin’ production, and tha features are on-n-poppin’! You really doin’ ya thang! I’m glad you know about me; I’m glad you appreciate me! Just keep up tha great work!!


09. “Bad” Feat. 3D Na’Tee & Odie B
Whoo, got tha lovely Na’Tee on tha feature, which you & Na’Tee’s birthdayz are comin’ up! Really lookin’ forward ta tha birthdayz! You know what I gon do outta scratch-offs for ‘em; stay tuned, as you gotta wait 11 & 19 more dayz!! >>> Uh oh, a siren!! Got tha bounce vibes, here; feelin’ it!! Got Sess on tha 1st verse, here; thumbs up fa keepin’ it on-n-poppin’, here!! Tha vibe’s definitely on-n-poppin’!! Uh oh, one of tha cars [leaving]… Let’s see who we got fa tha 2nd verse…; it’s gotta be tha queen, biiitch!! Wow, “playin’ with Yu-Gi-Oh!s;” this girl has some #TBT rhymes! Yup, “queen on you bitches!” Jammin’, right there! Na’Tee always gets tha props! I mean, she just spits stuff you could relate to, and she keeps it real! So, I just always feel her verses! Glad you’re on this live review! Even got tha feature, right here, on tha 3rd verse—who iz it again? Oh yea, Odie B… That car…; goodbye!! Definitely thumbs up on tha beats; I’m definitely feelin’ ‘em! I love how tha cars leave once I walked outta there. My car iz still there, but I walked outta there; it’s very weird. No more stalking! But, this joint was definitely on-n-poppin’! Tha queen always gets my props! Keep ‘em on-n-poppin’; *blows kiss* to you, Na’Tee! My Rating: 4.5


10. “Datz Law” Feat. Jesse James & Young Sino
This looks like anotha great collaboration! I’m definitely excited and lookin’ forward to it! Yea, I’m definitely feelin’ tha “raw” hook, here! It’s all about tha “purp by tha jar!” You always can handle anything, Sess!! Glad you have supastar status in my opinion!! “House look like arenas;” that’s really what’s poppin’!! Undeniable; you can’t be denied! Jesse James “movin’ slow like a turtle!” He’s comin’ through wit consistent rhymes on tha 2nd verse, here! How ‘bout you “need some service” from me; gotta promote cha, ya heard me? Yea, Sino on tha 3rd verse, “smokin’ on tha best shit!” That’s what’s up ‘cause tha sun comin’ out, now! Y’all luv “smokin’!” You just really gettin’ it on, right here!! Good job, right there!! I’m just too addicted! I can’t, like, rate them, like, 4.3 or 2, so…—Yes again, Blaq N Mild, you a “genius” fa tha production! My Rating: 4.4


11. “It Ain’t Right” Feat. Coota B
4:20 on tha length! *Blows* Finna blow somethin’? That’s what’s good, even though I dunno what ta expect wit this one… >>> It sounds like a positive-beat sound… “Blaq N Mild” on tha track… It sounds like a crossover song; not bad wit tha hook, here… Aight, let’s go on wit this… No wonder why you “pissin’ every week;” it’s a 4:20 length, Sess! You tellin’ tha truth on tha 1st verse, here! Yea, it sux that they stereotype blacks! I feel bad fa y’all at all times! I mean, where I’m at, there’s not many black people and rap luvaz. So, it’s like, they’re prolly wonderin’, “What’s a Sess 4-5?” And, “What’s a review in tha middle of nowhere?” “Why would you review in tha middle of tha woods?” “What’s that rap music?” It’s true rhymes, right here, on tha 2nd verse! You know, anybody in jail can get drugs, so why put yaself in tha cell? Of course, gotta feel how you comin’ through on tha 2nd verse, Sess; real shit! Seems like a long hook, but I know it’s like—it sounds like it’s goin’ into a bridge or somethin’? Or, maybe not…; long hook, but I’m feelin’ it… My Rating: 4.0


12. “Pop Me Off” Feat. B Streezy
This definitely gon “pop [it] off,” right now! I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this, also! >>> A lil’ slower…; sounds like a banger, right here… Yea, I’m sure “she can’t wait;” nice hook. Anotha mainstream-soundin’ song, here… Really holdin’ it down fa tha ladies at all times, Sess! My asshole’s, like, open [as, thanx to Na’Tee, I was dedicated and went inside a pipe to review this song]! Nice job wit tha 2nd verse! You know this lady definitely tearin’ you apart, Sess! 3rd verse sounds “good,” Sess! Who wouldn’t wanna play wit your dreadz? My Rating: 4.1


13. “No More” Feat. Skip
Glad you picked up tha phone before, Sess! And, I’m glad you appreciate me endeavoring into my adventurous live review of your CD, right now! So, I’m definitely lookin’ forward ta Skip collaboratin’ wit you on this joint! >>> Tha beat sounds nice, and tha hook’s catchy, right here!! Of course, tha pussy’s “fiya!” Your label’s named after “fire!” How dare her not show you luv back!!! Good job expressin’ her lack of interest in you, Sess, on tha 1st verse!! And wow, props fa Skip comin’ through, outta nowhere, on tha 2nd verse! That’s where I am, right now: “Tha parkin’ lot!” Wow, feelin’ tha shootin’, right there!! Wow, this iz catchy, right here! And, I mean, for somethin’ with her bein’ negative ta y’all, you made it sound catchy! Catchy shit, right there!! My Rating: 4.4


14. “Let Me Find Out” Feat. Noothie & Easy Money
Wow, I thought tha feature was Easy Money, from 2006, but that was Down & Dirty’s EP, called Easy Money, so I got it twisted. But, tha title gets me curious, so I’m definitely lookin’ forward! And, Noothie? Rhymin’ with a smoothie! I guess we can see how tasty this joint gon be, right now! >>> “Uh oh, uh oh!” Almost sound like B Gizzle in tha beginning! Yea, Blaq N Mild again! Wow, this iz an anthem! Not just for tha wards, but for tha states!! Just “Downtown, 9th Ward & Florida”? You couldn’t broaden it any further? Anyway, tha “Dick-Her-Down” champion (Sess 4-5) comin’ through on tha 1st verse, here! You really gettin’ it in, Sess!! You definitely did ya thang on tha 1st verse! I definitely am feelin’ ya, right now; jammin’ joint, right here!! If this iz Noothie on tha 2nd verse, I’m definitely feelin’ his vibe! Of course, who wouldn’t “want” y’all? Y’all doin’ tha damn thang on this joint!! Here we go: “Easy Money!” Let’s see if tha name’s worth it… Glad he “livin’ nice;” can you send some my way? Wow, tha beat’s like a Mannie Fresh vibe; I just luv how it continues!! “De-de-de-de, de-de-de-de; de-de-de-de, de-de-de-de!!!” My Rating: 4.4


15. “Let’s Have A Party” Feat. 6 Ward Pook & Young Sino
Y’all luv each other; y’all keep collaboratin’! That’s what’s up! I mean, I’m sure this one gon have a lotta bounce in it, so lemme just get inta it! >>> A lil’ slower than I expected, but it still sounds hot! “Gon have a blast;” I can’t wait ta “party” wit you, one day, Sess! I luv tha anticipation of this “party!” “10,000 1’s & 200 50’s”? Damn! Wow, some treasurous “head,” right there, Sess!! Let’s pass tha “pussy!” Oh, that must’ve been 6 Ward Pook on tha 1st verse; here you are! Yea, “party at [your] condo!” Wow, Sess bustin’ “a nut”? Shit yea, this “party”’s on-n-poppin’!! You are “in [some sort of] a movie,” right now ‘cause your CD’s gettin’ reviewed live on camera!! Just luv it! Sess, you know I gon meet you soon! Thumbs up fa that 2nd verse, right there; gotta luv ya!! “Lawdy;” I mean, Sino on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through wit dat fiya!! “Let tha money fall like tears;” gotta luv tha vibe, here! Can’t wait ta “party” wit you! Hopefully, one of those parties that you keep settin’ up every night, Sess! You prolly tha most-valuable dude I know outta Louisiana! So, shout out ta you! This party got a 4.5 rating from me; thumbs up! Now, let’s celebrate wit tha last joint, comin’ up—that’s right, Blaq N Mild!! My Rating: 4.5


16. “Besides Ya Self”
Now, izn’t “Ya Self” a compound word? I dunno, but I gon keep it two words, just like you have it here… This tha last joint on this CD, so if you get at least a 4.0, you will get five stars! If not, it’ll just be a regular rating. >>> I’m feelin’ this vibe; definitely on-n-poppin’! Kinda got like, I dunno, you kinda sound like Master P, here; definitely diggin’ it!! Yea, “U.N.L.V.”-type shit! I’m definitely diggin’ how you comin’ through on tha 1st verse! “Don’t come at [ya] sidewayz!!” You and tha “20 rackz;” tha 20 Gs’ definitely on-n-poppin’!! I’m definitely so proud of your success! And, I’m glad that I bought this album; I’m glad I spent $9.99 on it!! This 2nd verse iz nice! Your “whip” makes tha “bitch” wanna “fuck [you]!” “Six grand for tha light bill”? It’s a lot, but it’s not toppin’ my dad’s prices! You know, this shit’s jammin’! Once again, like a Mannie Fresh vibe, I just luv it! Even how he produced 2 Chainz’s “Used 2”, recently, like, it’s just a great vibe!! Tha 3rd verse was pretty nice, right there! I mean, just gotta luv what you say at all times!! Sess 4-5 got dat fiya!!! Nuthin’ But Fire Records!!! #SeeWutDatDo!!! Blaq N Mild providin’ those Mannie Fresh-like, ageless beats, right chea!! My Rating: 4.4


Overall: Sess, you know you did tha damn thang, here!! I’m definitely feelin’ what you brought to tha table!! Just consistent, 504 music at its finest, fa tha 2K13!! You really be holdin’ it down, and, like I said, I couldn’t be more than blessed ta be connected wit you! Blaq N Mild really provided tha great production for you, and you just held it down!! Those features were definitely on-n-poppin’!! Gotta give it up ta Magic! You know, tha verse of tha whole CD was tha Turk verse! I just really felt how he came through on tha track for you! Just rippin’ it up wit his aggression! And, that’s what you’re about: you provide nothin’ but consistent music! And, I was so glad to go under a water pipe, climb tha mountain, freeze my ass off in this 20-degree weather for you! It’s all about dedication, and when you show me luv, that’s what I do for you: I just show you nothin’ but dedicated luv! So, with that bein’ said, I really hope you appreciate this review, and just keep doin’ tha damn thang!! I wish you nothin’ but $ucce$$, 24/7!!!

Review #1,317: Lil' Cali a.k.a. Cali Pachino "Rappin' N Trappin' (Hosted by DJ Ya Boy Earl)"

Reviewed on 8.30.2013 (Review #1,317)


Was ‘bout ta take a break from tha reviewz fa a lil’ bit, but I got my hands on somethin’, just now: Lil’ Cali a.k.a. Cali Pachino Rappin’ N Trappin’ (Hosted by DJ Ya Boy Earl)!! And, I wouldn’t let tha day go by without reviewin’ it ‘cause today’s Cali’s birthday!! Happy birthday, once again!! Looks like things are goin’ great for ya! Was wondering, did you get your awards in tha mail from me, back in January? Hope so… Now then, let’s get to this! Not a Yz’Gyz Entertainment release, but it’s a UTP Records release, thanx ta Juvenile! Start Time: 3:08 PM | End Time: 4:05 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 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 an artist who claimed they “get money,” 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!!

© 2013 CD Review (Review #1,317) reviewed on 8.30.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Rappin’-N-Trappin’ (Intro)”
Intro, here, produced by Mouse On Tha Tricky-Tricky-Track!! >>> Feelin’ tha beat Mouse produced, here! Feelin’ tha rhymes, Cali; strictly stayin’ on ya grind!! Oh, outta nowhere, Ya Boy Earl came in; forgot he hostin’! Good lil’ appearance from him while you’re deliverin’ tha nice hook! Reminds me of your “How I’m Coming” intro track on tha Enemy Of The State CD! Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse, and yea, you givin’ “it to ‘em raw!” Great job providin’ this fa us, Cali! And yea, gotta feel Earl on tha 2nd hook, too! Ya gotta “feel this!!” Keepin’ thangz goin’ wit tha 3rd verse, keepin’ “it G!” Nice lil’ 3rd part from Ya Boy Earl on tha 3rd hook, here! When will it be, “What up, FrankieThaLuckyDog?” My Rating: 4.4


02. “MLK” Feat. Juvenile
Ooh, this looks like it gon be interestin’, especially wit J Buc on tha beat!! >>> Really feelin’ tha beat start!! J Buc holdin’ tha sounds down!! Yea, Juve sounds great on tha hook, “Martin Luther King” style!! Wow, tha Buc beat & Juve go together great!! I already know dat Cali gon hold down tha 1st verse, here… Yup, “Rihanna” style, lol! Keepin’ shit goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, too, Cali; gotta feel how you comin’, like a “MLK,” Jr., Jr.!! An Earl outro?? Fuck yeah!! Gotta “put” this CD “in!!” Looks like Earl got his “dream” of “a nice car & hoes.” Currently, my dream iz to get hired at MTV/VH1, or tha video world, real soon! I’m tryna my best ta get out there wit my video countdowns! Cali, you gon see one of those video countdowns that you’re in soon! My Rating: 4.7


03. “Street Money” Feat. Juvenile & Mouse On Tha Track
Keepin’ it goin’ wit a great collaboration like this, as well as Mouse on tha beat & feature!! >>> Ooh, reminds me of tha previous beat; nice sound, once again!! Tha hook sounds jammin’; can’t deny it, though I’ve been hatin’ “money” titles/songs ‘cause I got robbed from someone who claimed they ‘bout “money!” But, good shit on tha 1st verse, Cali; you make this shit sound like fun… Here’s Juve on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some N.O. rhymes fa tha 2K13!! Now, it’s eight years and a day after Katrina! Oh, forgot that was Mouse on tha hook; this joint just breezed on by! But yea, Mouse did an excellent job wit tha hook ‘cause his voice iz awesome!! Cool as fuck on tha track!! LOL, anti-Earl, here, as there was no spoken outro! My Rating: 4.6


04. “Dat Dick (Remix 2)” Feat. Mystikal, Juvenile & J Buc
Coupla things: 1.) It’s tha remix (well, 2nd remix, since Juve’s now on it)!! 2.) J Buc’s on tha hook! Of course, this beat’s by Buc, and you already know, I know about this one! Tha original version, that I was bumpin’ durin’ my internship last year, iz on one of those video countdowns I’m preparin’, as well as “Me & My Thugs”. Lookin’ forward ta dat bein’ completed! I filmed my hosting parts in Kings Park, NY, in a nice abandoned building! And, speaking of this song, I put tha clean title on tha video countdown’s scene sheet, and I showed this girl that I found, that used to call into my favorite radio station, back in 2000 & 2001. I met her three dayz ago, and she was like, “‘Dat Stick’? What’s that?” LOL! But yea, neva got ta hear Juve’s part, so lemme see what he got goin’ on, here… >>> I like how he sounds on this. Mystikal sounded like an erupting dragon, spittin’ lava at anything in his path. Meanwhile, Juve felt like he provided his “dick” correct fa tha track and tha hoes! Once again, anotha good remix! I still liked Mouse’s original verse, though… My Rating: 4.6


05. “I Be” Feat. Level
Featuring a previous birthday boy, whose birthday was two dayz ago. Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this, wit Mouse on tha beat, again!! >>> Wow, anotha anthem; luv these beats!! How can you turn a title like this (only four characters) into somethin’ so catchy? Well, have Level repeat it in tha hook; gotta luv it!! Here’s Level on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit his automatic-soundin’ rhymes; nothin’s eva a challenge! Here you are on tha 2nd verse, almost soundin’ like Juve, lol… Gotta luv how you keep gettin’ success, Cali!! BTW, what happened to your Twitter followers? They’re, like, 10,000 less than last year (currently, at around 7,700)? I was showin’ my rappin’ granny dat, yesterday, lol… Here’s Level, comin’ through wit you on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit what y’all “be” doin’… Great back-n-forth verse parts! I wish Level had more of a focus on creatin’ success wit me, though, but many think I’m useless and an afterthought. :( My Rating: 4.6


06. DJ Ya Boy Earl Speaks
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dyin’ ta hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >>> Attackin’ tha F-Boyz!! Fuck boyz!! Fake boyz!! Great job, Earl; glad ta hear you!! My Rating: N/A


07. “By The Bundle” Feat. Max Minelli & Mouse On Tha Track
Got mo heat wit Mouse on tha feature & beat!! Props ta him followin’ me on Twitter today! >>> Whoo!! Mo heat wit this beat!!! Gotta luv tha cough syrup-soundin’ vibe, here, lol! Definitely feelin’ all tha shit Mouse has “by tha bundle!” Kick-ass hook, only by Mouse! And, here you are on tha 1st verse, Cali, comin’ through wit a great hu$$le!! Got Max on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through, feelin’ good; can’t deny tha big dawgs! Speakin’ of “smokin’ Cali,” I got ta feel a high for tha 1st time two weeks ago today!! I have ta say, bein’ in a dream that’s reality feels like hypnotized fun, ya feel me?! My Rating: 4.6


08. “On!”
Exclamation point title!! Mouse on tha beat!! >>> Yea, Earl in tha beginning, ova this hot-soundin’ beat! Thanx fa clearin’ up how “trappin’” iz, but I dunno about quotin’ Meek Mill and his “Levels” shit… Then again, hearin’ Earl on an intro = drinkin’ some good fruit punch, or somethin’ that makes tha day, lol! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse, and you deliverin’ some nice rhymes on this beat… Oh, just went back ta Earl, strictly rippin’ apart tha F-“boyz,” lol! “Sellin’ grams outta a zip,” lol? Cali on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some “peanut butter.” Meanwhile, for lunch, I had ten small slices of turkey, five slices of cheese & a Chipotle roll! I weighed myself, and I was 117!! I tied my record, back in ’07, on your birthday, Cali!! Eatin’ like a bigger dawg now, lol! And, Earl did a nice job wit tha outro, though I consider this an album, not “mixtape”—well, kinda 50/50… My Rating: 4.4


½time: Wow, Cali, you keepin’ tha flava up!!! Currently, you’re at a 4.6 for tha CD rating, currently!!!!! I was gonna take a nap, like I usually do durin’ tha afternoon, but this CD iz keepin’ me awake, for tha moment! Your birthday can’t go by without this review, ya feel me?!


09. “Nasty” Feat. Kevin Gates
Guess ‘cause of Gates, we’re re-creatin’ a buzz, here, by puttin’ this on here, again? And, it’s DJ Yung Stylez on tha beat. “Yung” in his name? Thought it was just DJ Stylez, but whateva… I think I like this one betta than when I first heard it, a lil’ bit. My Current Rating: 4.4


10. “Pow!” Feat. Versey
Yes, more exclamations on my reviewin’-ass!! Mouse wit anotha beat, here… >>> Off to a calm start wit a lil’ bit of trumpets goin’ on… Ooh, this sounds different wit tha hook; props ta Versey fa providin’ somethin’ catchy wit you on tha hook!! “Pow!!” Nice job wit tha 1st verse, Cali; this sounds like one of your next hit songs!! I gon consider/co-sign it!! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too; eight bars? Nice shit! Well, here’s tha rappin’ Versey on tha 3rd verse, and it sounds good. Sounds like a lotta random shit goin’ on wit tha rhymes, and it’s even more than eight bars… Well, 12; I guess that’s what it was, but you get so inta tha song that you lose track… My Rating: 4.7


11. “U Pussy”
Ooh, Beat Bangers on tha beat (B-Bangers? Tha Max Minelli “Angel Sing” dudes?)! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this attitude!! >>> Good vibe, here; can’t even picture it bein’ a mainstream perspective ‘cause your shit bangs, Cali!! Got you on tha 1st verse, comin’ through flockin’ wit tha “chicken on [your] lap,” lol! This kinda sounds like a familiar song, but this sound sounds on a 2010s tip… Either way, nice hook; call out dem P.A.N.’z, Cali!! Nice job wit tha 2nd verse, too; to me, you got buku “Facebook” luvaz, not hataz! My Rating: 4.3


12. “Thinking ‘Bout Me” Feat. Young Juve & Darren Hanible
A Mouse-produced joint, here; let’s see how this gon go wit these features…! >>> Was almost thrown off by tha beginning/hook, but that’s Snoop Dogg “Sexual Eruption”, and since it was when Nu$$ie was still alive, we’ll give it an exception. So, lol @ tha hook; I know they definitely “thinking ‘bout [you]!” Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse, and you makin’ tha mood sound good on this beat… Hope tha features don’t fuck it up; let’s see what tha 1st of two newbies has ta offer… Hearin’ tha 1st feature on tha 2nd verse, and it sounds like Bow Wow… Ehh, okay lyrics; it’s okay. I won’t hate on it… Tha 3rd verse iz a lil’ worse fa me… Not really into these newbies, as this iz more on today’s mainstream levels… Kinda long fa what you guys call a “mixtape.” Really? 5:34? My Rating: 3.6


13. “Yo Body” Feat. Juvenile
I think we might need some Juve? Mike Maven doin’ tha production, here… >>> Tha beginning sounds like somethin’ on a full-mainstream level… Yuck, not feelin’ tha hook at all from this mysterious singer that sounds like T-Pain in tha beginning!! Sounds like an album cut! If you feel this iz a “mixtape,” you prolly should’ve saved this for an actual album! I would’ve skipped this if it was some random rapper, but I gon do tha full review ‘cause it’s you… Hearin’ Juve on tha 1st verse, and it’s okay; he sets tha mood, but this ain’t my kinda song at all… Your part on tha 2nd verse sounds good fa what you spittin’ fa tha bitches; can’t deny you, at least, but I ain’t feelin’ tha song, overall! How ‘bout some “Dat Dick”s & Mouse productions? My Rating: 1.4


14. “My Bitch” Feat. Skip
Will this be betta? SelfMade Mafia on tha production! >>> Ehh, scared me a lil’ wit tha voice effect on your voice on tha hook, as well as this mainstream-soundin’, typical-soundin’, in-tha-trap-soundin’ beat… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse, and it sounds catchy; sounds like an anthem for tha bitches, but everything can be betta wit tha production! Hearin’ Skip on tha 2nd verse, and this iz okay fa what it iz… Sounds like he anticipatin’ ta “pop” someone, when this ‘pose ta be ‘bout a female… Not tha best combination, here… My Rating: 2.9


15. “Mo Money” Feat. Curren$y & Juvenile
A Mike WiLL Made It beat, like your “Itching”, lol! BTW, they fucked up on tha back cover: “Nad” for “And”, lol? >>> Hearin’ Curren$y on tha 1st verse, and things sound good… Nice verse from him, supplyin’ his consistent rhymes… Tha hook sounds nice wit its slightly-quiet background. Still, I think you can get 100% original beats on here, Cali! Startin’ ta sound like a mixed-tape, now… Got Juve comin’ through on tha 2nd verse… Lots of rhymes, lol! Feelin’ tha consistency! Got you comin’ through on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit nice rhymes that I like hearin’. Glad you holdin’ yaself down! My Rating: 3.7


16. “Go” Feat. Turk & 3D Na’Tee
Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this ta end this CD off, though Doughboy Beatz on tha track? Sounds like a jacked/internet producer…? >>> This has that mainstream, in-tha-trap sound to it, and I’m feelin’ tha hook… Good shit you spittin’ on tha 1st verse, strictly comin’ through as a now-29-year-old gangsta! “They go when I say, ‘Go!’” Likin’ tha hook, once again! Turk on tha 2nd verse? Guess I should put him above Na’Tee, since we gotta save tha best fa last! Catchy rhymes from Mr. Turk, here; feelin’ tha grimy saliva comin’ outta his mouth, here, lol! Ooh, Na’Tee did that “tha queen, biiiiiiiiiiiiiitch” intro again, like in “No Love”!! Gotta anticipate her, and yea, she’s got one of tha best verses on this CD!! I luv her fast rappin’; doesn’t sound cheesy like Gates’ in-random-spots’ fast shit! Thumbs up fa her rhymes!! Strictly spittin’ AK-47-like shots at tha speakers!! My Rating: 4.6


Overall: #’s 12 – 15 were a lil’ iffy for me, but other than that, this CD was fire!!! Kicked major ass wit this b-day presentation, Cali!! Keep up tha great work!! BTW, no outro from Earl? Did he just fall off tha CD outta nowhere? Damn… :( Felt like I didn’t get my full dose of Earl on this Cali birthday!! But, I’m sure more’ll be available in tha future!! Keep up tha great work!!
