Review #1,470: Level & Mookie Blakk "Now Or Never"

Reviewed on 6.29.2015 (Review #1,470)


Keepin’ my reviewz goin’, despite prolly gettin’ no feedback at all, smh, here’s Level & Mookie Blakk Now Or Never, released last year on Mayham Entertainment. Luv how Mookie’s name’s spelled wrong. It’s “Blakk,” not “Black!” Of course, I refuse to spend a penny on somethin’ like this that was not even sent to me on time, so it’s mine for nothin’!! Start Time: 11:30 AM | End Time: 12:37 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 #1,470) reviewed on 6.29.2015 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Now Or Never”
>>> Sounds real nice ta hear with my girl on my screen! Perfect combination; hot beat! Great intro from Level, here… Diggin’ tha hook, minus tha “money” obsession! Even though it goes in one ear and out tha other, I still appreciate this energetic music at all times! Nice 2nd ½ of tha hook with tha title repeatin’! Here goes Level on tha 1st verse and thinkin’ about “1987,” I think to myself, “Wow, who would’ve thought I’d be at least five years older than almost all my co-workers?” Damn, where’d tha time go? And, comin’ up from tha grave, here’s Mookie Blakk on tha 2nd verse. Like, you neva hear from this dude, anymore, like, why? Sounds pretty nice and Louisianaful on tha verse; gotta still dig it… My Rating: 4.5


02. “Swag Right”
>>> E…W…E…Q…R…E…D…O…N…T…H…E…T…R…A…C…K… You already know that I can’t leave feedback on tha production, so lemme just rate tha track, itself… Despite this stupid title, I definitely am diggin’ tha hook! Always delivered in a catchy way by you, Level! Here goes Level on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some consistent shit; definitely a club banga at its finest! No wonder why I can always work six dayz a week and 10-hour dayz!! Too bad tha hook has “stacks” in it; let’s see how many songs’ll have a money reference on this CD, smh… Next up, we got Mookie on tha 2nd verse, still chasin’ dem “women,” huh? Seems like he’s so old, for some reason, only ‘cause you don’t hear from him, anymore… If I can guess or remember, he 37 by now? Like, WTF? He was, like, 30 when I first talked to him! Now, I’m almost 30! Well, I got three more years! But, it was still a nice verse ta hear… My Rating: 4.7


03. “Gun Range” feat. Mista Cain
>>> Really likin’ this beat start a whole lot; very anticipatin’! Here we go, EQ! Definitely a nice 1st verse at its finest!! Luvin’ all this shit with tha “gun” references, except how Level mentioned, “I got buku money;” WHY?!? But, this definitely intense; really luvin’ it! “I’m 25…;” really? It’s still 2012/2013, here? Tha hook sounds pretty nice, too; intensity at its finest!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit Mookie on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit a catchy flow and how he always lays it down on tha track! And now, here comes Cain on tha 3rd verse… Definitely diggin’ tha fast flow, at first, and we got tha gunz on lock… Still can’t picture anyone havin’ one, like, why? Nice “iron” part around 3:24! My Current Rating: 4.8
EDIT: Wow, reviewed it last year…


04. “Ball Like A Dog”
>>> Sounds like a nice, Louisiana-soundin’ song, here; can’t complain… Gotta luv how Mookie still “got dem Watsons!” Hearin’ him on tha 1st verse wit mo pill-poppin’ shit and it sounds nice. However, why M.I.A. from my life? These people just vanished outta my life without tellin’ me! It’s like, W.H.Y.?!? No Facebook, no Twitter, etc.; why? Now, we got Level on tha 2nd verse; let’s see if he can avoid tha word “money…” A lil’ cocky on tha rhymes, here; God forbid he don’t have a “bitch,” smh! Oh no, I hear somethin’ “broke,” and somethin’ “tha bank;” boo! My Current Rating: 4.2
EDIT: Wow, this too…


05. “I Know Right” feat. Mouse
Lookin’ forward ta this one! >>> So far, it sounds good; can’t complain with this one, either… Tha hook sounds simple, but can catch onto ya… Hearin’ Level on tha—fuck, he said, “You ain’t got no money!” Why can’t “money” be equivalent to someone else’s dick? Like, we should just make every fuckin’ artist gay for throwin’ that bullshit out there to tha watered-down music world!! But, it was an okay 1st verse from Level, regardless. And now, we got Mouse on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit catchiness; gotta luv his voice!! He got dat consistency on lock; luv tha beat and him together!! Luv how Mouse checks in in tha background of tha hook! “I know… I know… I know… I know…;” dumb shit!! Here comes Mookie on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit his catchy voice, too; luv all tha catchiness!! My Rating: 4.7


06. “Dead & Gone” feat. Malachi
>>> Malachi groanin’ in tha intro, here… Hearin’ tha hook from Level and it sounds nice with this beat. See, now, a song like this doesn’t need a “money” reference! If it’s not “money,” it’s “hoes,” smh; good grief! Level comin’ through on tha 1st verse with some regular-soundin’ rhymes ‘cause of this sad topic about dyin’. Did he say, “That’s why I bank a lot;” money reference? Damn… damn…! No homo!! Hearin’ Mookie on tha 2nd verse and it sux to lose their “child,” especially when they’re “20!” My mom lost her son, my brother, at just 25, not even two months ago! He “made it to see 25,” but just only 25 and 12 dayz. :( But, nice lil’ heartfelt verse right there, Mookie. And now, an outro, sendin’ an R.I.P. shout out. Oh yeah, forgot about Malachi for a sec, holdin’ down a lil’ bit of tha outro… My Rating: 4.3


07. “Throw It Up” feat. Q-Red
>>> Sounds anticipatin’ like B-Real in tha beginning, but no!! If it’s not B-Real, it’s gotta be someone else! Q-Red; ewe!! Not even listed on tha feature… He’s on tha hook and all I have to say iz, Ang… *goes to Ang’s Facebook…* “Can we start breaks?!? Who’s first on break?!?” ROFL!!! I gotta tolerate that shit tomorrow, ROFL!! Gonna have to put Q-Red in my head at 8:59:00 ‘cause Ang’ll ask at 8:59:51 & 8:59:57, like, seconds before 9!! B-Real couldn’t handle that when I’d tell him I’d call him at tha exact time I’d say! It’s like, damn, no one in Baton Rouge can take business seriously, it seems like? :( That’s all I gotta say!! And, here we go with Level on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit catchy shit! Definitely diggin’ tha rhymes and catchy flow, here! Did I not hear a money reference? We got Mookie on tha 2nd verse and it’s nice… However, I hear him goin’ on and on about “money,” at one point! Oh, what Ang iz to breaks iz what I am to “money” in rhymes!! My Rating: 4.6


08. “Let It Rain” feat. April Reign
>>> Sounds familiar? Either way, way too slow for this CD! What a way to kill tha vibe! An okay 1st verse from Level, here, but on tha boring side… Hearin’ Mookie on tha 2nd verse, as well as tha hook and it ain’t bad… Damn, “my money come in access;” gay! A lil’ bridge/verse from April near tha end, here; an okay part but fuck, she even ruined tha ending! Like, “Moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy;” why?!? Gonna just say, fuck this! My Rating: 2.7


09. “Buy Me A Drank” feat. April Reign
My Current Rating: 4.4


½time: So far, pretty nice, except tha “Let It Rain” song; luvin’ tha club bangaz, of course! Can’t deny err-thang goin’ on, here; always keep it hyped up! For now, tha CD rating’s at a 4.3; let’s keep tha collaboration project between Level & Mookie Blakk goin’!


10. “Do It”
>>> Sounds like a nice, uptempo club beat, includin’ tha hook; nice. Here comes Mookie on tha 1st verse and damn, here comes tha “money” shit ta start tha verse off; y…a…w…n… Here comes Level on tha 2nd verse and let’s see how many bars it takes for him to say somethin’ about “money…” Well, only three, smh! He sounds great on this, but that’s all I gotta say. Likin’ tha “-ank” shit ta end some of tha lines; good shit! We got a 3rd verse from Mookie, here, comin’ through wit a nice “party;” can’t complain… And, Level comin’ through on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse wit dem “loratabs & Xanabarz!” My Rating: 4.2


11. “Showing Luv” feat. Box
Box not listed on tha track… My Current Rating: 3.9


12. “Brown & White 2014” feat. Big Poppa
Let’s see tha 2014 version, like a 3rd part… >>> Already in one ear and out tha otha, since Q-Red produced it… Zero memories with me, now, smh. But, nice hook wit Mookie on tha hook; nice lil’ resurrection in a long-lost Louisiana world! It sux ‘cause I now have a record label behind me with multiple articles out there, and no one fucks wit me, anymore! It’s like, y’all losses! Got a wild Mookie on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit consistency ta hold tha club down! While I refuse to comment on tha production, I have to say, no wonder where I get my energy from, at work. It’s almost like I take Q-Red in me, while working, but get rid of all his ignoring, BPM-hating baggage he brings, and just have a good time at work, ya dig? At 2:03, a loooooooooooong, niiiiiiiiiice screeeeeeech from Big Poppa? But wait, we got Level on tha 2nd verse, here; leggo! Let’s see how long ‘til he talks about “money!” Ooh, heard “loratabs, Xanabarz” before a “money” reference! I think he went a verse without mentionin’ “money;” wow!! Got tha biggest Poppa on tha 3rd verse, lol; he sounded nice on this shit. He no longer sounds below average, like some of tha times back in tha day. Nice lil’ “gumbo” line, too; gotta keep tha Louisiana energy comin’ along! My Rating: 4.6


13. “Something They Can Feel”
>>> Sounds like a lil’ video game in tha background of this beat? Pretty anticipatin’; thanx, G-Motive! Mookie on tha hook and yeah, “Let’s give ‘em somethin’ they can feel!!” A catchy hook with tha cool look, too; good shit! I continue ta look cool amongst my peers; always feelin’ like a celebrity! Nice, catchy 1st verse from Mookie, here; gotta feel tha rhymes! Still, I don’t expect my phone to ring by him anytime soon… It’s like, turn M.I.A. into I.M.H.E.R.E.! Level on tha 2nd verse, here, and blah, blah, blah! Cocky rhymes at their finest, smh… I guess this what makes tha club go ‘round? Nice “This ain’t no X-Box, this ain’t no PS3” shit; feelin’ that shit! However, here Level goes with tha “If you ain’t got no money” shit; well, where’s mine? Neva got a penny from you with business, Level! I literally feel like a piece of shit and that’s why people don’t see me doin’ things, these dayz! Y’all be self-centered? Well, guess what, I am, now! No one can handle it; it’s scary!! My Rating: 4.3


14. “I Thought You Knew”
>>> A Q-Red beat; why can’t he be a better person? With this Racked-Up Ready tribute video I got comin’ up, I wonder if he’ll even watch tha video? Prolly not! I’ll just go back to my six dayz a week with my job! But, tha hook sounds nice; feelin’ tha sample… Hearin’ Level on tha 1st verse and it’s catchy; always gotta rep strong fa tha Rouge! Mookie on tha 2nd verse, here, and females “wearin’” males’ “clothes,” lol? You already know that you gotta have a lil’ transgender/acting in you, right? A regular-soundin’ verse, but please, puke when you say, “Money,” Mookie! It’s gay! Let males wear female clothes like Young Thug!! My Rating: 4.4


15. “Put It On Ya”
>>> Really hot beat start, here! Tha hook sounds pretty catchy, here; good shit, Mookie! And, here comes Mookie on tha 1st verse, comin’ through nicely on tha track! Ahh, “money in my pocket;” damn, you Mookie!! Am I gonna earn “money” from you soon? I prolly am better off pickin’ up extra hours at my job? That’s easy “money” that I’d PULL TEETH FOR with anyone from Louisiana, smh! But, here goes Mookie on tha 2nd verse, too, comin’ through wit more catchy rhymes… I still don’t get how you guys can release this music and not even send it to me. It’s like, why even record anything? It’s just goin’ to WASTE!! W.A.S.T.E.!!!!! Now, we finally got Level on tha 3rd verse and it’s soundin’ good. A reference to “BluBlack,” here, or was Level meaning “blue black?” Either way, I know they’ve collaborated before, but I’ono if Level would show him luv outside of a conversation ‘cause Blu’s underrated! My Rating: 4.3


16. “Jump On It”
>>> More Q-Red beats with somethin’ that sounds like a female sample from tha ‘90s or somethin’, like a party R&B record… Either way, an okay hook. Hearin’ Mookie on tha 1st verse and it sounds decent. It’s almost like we keep gettin’ a large amount of quantity with music, these dayz. Like, why does every CD have to have, like, 18 songs on it? Like, what’s with all tha Level CDs gettin’ out there that I neva hear? Too much quantity over quality? Like, a good portion of tha quality in tha music’s here, but not to last a legacy, due to I don’t get to enjoy it while it’s out! SMH! Now, we got Level on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit a nice sex scene! Imagine a dude hittin’ on Level, lol? Like, Level, how would you react? How would you react to an autistic person approachin’ you? Hmm… Will that eva happen? Will Level have an autistic kid? An okay verse; can’t complain… My Rating: 4.0


17. “Something Safe To Play With”
>>> A knock at tha do’…; an EQ beat… Catchy hook from Mookie, here; kinda reminds me of my ’08 excitement for Louisiana music, lol. Hearin’ Mookie on tha 1st verse and he’s got shit on lock; nice job, minus tha “Ben Franklins!” Too many beat tag noises? Kinda gay, like a dude hittin’ on anotha dude, right? Hearin’ more of tha hook and it’s now soundin’ like Mookie’s obsessin’ “money” even more; gross!! Here comes Level on tha 2nd verse, soundin’ good, as always! Then again, “nothin’ but 25;” it’s 2012/2013 again? Enough wit tha “money” shit, Level!! My Rating: 4.1


18. “Throw Up My Pocket”
>>> Anotha beat provided by EQ Tha Misfit, here… Sounds like a club banga fa Mookie, here, like a snake windin’… Nice 2nd ½ of tha hook wit tha title part and tha “drop it down low;” good shit, Mookie! Damn, why all tha beat sounds again, throughout tha whole entire song? Stupid idea!! Mookie on tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ nice, of course; can’t complain, here… Hearin’ Level on tha 2nd verse and it sounds nice, too; I’m likin’ tha “Foxy Brown” reference, too. I also like how Level said, “Fasho,” on tha start to tha 13th bar, lol. My Rating: 4.3


19. “5-Star Cypher” feat. Box, Racked-Up Ready & Max Minelli
Endin’ it with an almost-nine-minute joint, here… >>> Beat’s aight ta rap on, here… Here’s Level on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit dat energy! “I’m tryna get some money. My money good…;” yeah, yeah, yeah… “I’m just playin’, mane;” heard tha laughter in your voice, lol. Guess this tha way of rappin’ off tha top of your head? No wonder why there’s so many “money” references, smh! I’ve gotten a lot betta with freestylin’ now, eva since workin’, goin’ through shit & gettin’ high, and I have ta say, I can even try and avoid any “money” references as much as I can! Try it! Like, numbers are better, such as 36,000 seconds in 10 hours, or 5 81334 00501 0 for a .99 coffee coupon’s barcode, Level!! Think! Now, we got Mookie on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some catchy rhymes; feelin’ his random rappin’… Damn, Mookie, at 3:12, “Fuck till I’m exhausted;” came outta nowhere, lol! Lots of Mookie rappin’, here; nice! Time fa “B-O-X” on tha 3rd verse, here… Just an okay verse fa me, but nothin’ ta complain about. Just like he said, “Tha verses are basic;” exactly what I said! Now, we got “Young Ready,” as he says, on tha 4th verse, here… Feelin’ his gangsta shit, here… No bullshit rhymes on this verse, here; feelin’ what he got goin’ on, here. LOL @ “I like bitches who suck and fuck;” lol @ tha “suck and fuck!” And now, Max on tha 5th verse ta rap it up! Regular rappin’, here; nothin’ really ta say… And, like Level said, “I’m tha best;” he was, on this! My Rating: 4.0


Overall: This CD was strongest during tha beginning and then, got a lil’ on a decent level. There were still quite a bit of bangerz, though. I have to give Level his props for always havin’ energy, non-stop! Got two more reviewz of him to do, so I gon appreciate more energy comin’ outta his August 28, 1987-ass, lol! But yeah, nice team project and, as always, great production! Keep tha energy goin’ fa life!!

Review #1,408: Level "Turn Down 4 What?"

Reviewed on 6.23.2014 (Review #1,408)


FrankieThaLuckyDog here, with possibly, my final current review for a while. I was ‘pose to get this done before my birthday, which was two dayz ago, but between work, a party, and catchin’ up on files, I didn’t have time. Now, I must get it over with ‘cause I’m ‘pose to be havin’ a life-changing surprise, expected later today! This review I finna get into iz Level Turn Down 4 What?, a new CD of his, just months after tha previous one, Unsupervised. I have to admit, I’m not a fan of that DJ Snake & Lil’ Jon song, of tha same title; I dunno how it got big… Of course, I made sure I didn’t buy this, due to you don’t show me luv, officially. Maybe, if you would’ve thanked me for your awards and answer your phone (who doesn’t text in 2013?!?), I prolly would’ve put money in ya pocket. I also believe this my final current review for a while ‘cause personally, I feel like I’m not meant for this Louisiana business, at all. Rarely does anyone show me true luv, and absolutely nobody extends themselves to see me, do services with me, etc. So, I have to let it go. I sadly had to stop doin’ my Tha Louisiana Archives mixtape compilations, two dayz ago, ‘cause nobody booked to be on it. It’s sad ‘cause it was open to anyone in Louisiana, from tha undaground, name or not! I released 17 issues, every 90 dayz; why ain’t nobody want me to continue it? Plus, I have to review all tha old CDs I have; work really has taken over me, too… Also, can’t forget: DJ B-Real robbed me outta my Louisiana dignity and passion, too! It’s sad when your favorite Louisiana artist blocks you, owes you, changes their # and won’t reconnect with you. It’s like, get your life together ‘cause you really ruined my dream! Start Time: 10:56 AM | End Time: 12:08 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 two artists who claimed their “money [was] long,” 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!!

© 2014 CD Review (Review #1,408) reviewed on 6.23.2014 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Intro
>>> Movie intro, courtesy of “DJ PK1”. True: “These niggaz ain’t ya friends;” I learned from what I went through, wit these Louisiana niggaz! My Rating: N/A


02. “Icy”
>>> Damn, tha “Thinkin’ With My Dick” beat? Couldn’t get any original production, here? Either way, it still sounds dope; nice hook, bein’ “icy.” Either way, wit all this auto-positive shit you spittin’, I have made a vow (currently) to always think negative/less of myself, in tha Louisiana business. Like, I told my grandma, “I hope I do less and less, each year;” true shit. I really hope I’m falling off! Now that I’m anotha year older, it’s time fa a new life! Good shit in tha 1st verse, too. Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty catchy, too, even though, seriously, it goes in one ear and out tha other, especially when you rap about “money!” My Rating: 4.1


03. “MC Hammer” Feat. Mouse On Tha Track
>>> Really likin’ tha hook a whole lot; reminds me of tha good Louisiana music I used to listen to and enjoy! Definitely tight shit; great shit on tha hook! Tha 1st verse from you sounds jammin’, too; you still get all this attention? I’m glad I lost mine; it feels great for me to fall off and be independent/do what tha fuck I wanna do! Tha 2nd verse’s nice, too; glad you still saggin’ on ‘em, no matta when, as “[yo] pants ‘bout ta drop.” Regardless of how you don’t treat me important or anythang, at least yo music has Baton Rouge quality in it… Got Mouse on tha 3rd verse and he sounds good, as always; diggin’ that voice and delivery, on this beat! “Drink tha wiiiiine!” You also appeared in tha beginning of tha 3rd ¼ of tha 3rd verse, with Mouse; nice… My Rating: 4.7


04. “Locked Up” Feat. Mz. Trill
>>> Beat sounds nice, and you sound good on tha hook. Really chained, here, with bein’ “locked up and ready ta fuck.” Feelin’ what you got goin’ on, here. Tha 1st verse iz contradicting, for tha start: “Don’t call or text me;” you don’t do neither, Level; you haven’t since June 2010! And, you neva even thanked me for my awards. What do I gotta have a vagina or somethin’ in me for you to respond, smh? An okay 1st verse… Here’s tha 2nd verse, with Mz. Trill, comin’ through wit good, “horny” rhymes… She sounds great on this beat! You’re on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit what you got. Even though you luv fuckin’, you have kids at such a young age, which defeats tha purpose of focusing 100% on your rap career. Thank God I know how ta wait; not even near fuckin’, yet! And, it’s a beat from Sinista. My Rating: 4.4


05. “It Ain’t Far” Feat. Racked-Up Ready & Mouse On Tha Track
Still callin’ him “Young Ready”, here? >>> A beat from Mouse, here; pretty serious intro! Also, an uncredited Mouse on tha hook, here! Pretty serious hook, too; definitely feelin’ tha classic gangsta sound of Baton Rouge, here!! Tha 1st verse sounds pretty nice, too, from you; always luv your energy! Hearin’ Ready on tha 2nd verse, and he sounds more “Young” than “Racked-Up”, here. But, since this iz 2014, I gotta put “Racked-Up”, since he changed his name. Here you are on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit mo gangsta shit; sounds nice… My Rating: 4.9


06. “Fuck You”
>>> I should’ve known it was this beat, of tha same title, smh; guess tha short length tells it all? Sounds like you don’t give a shit about anyone, on tha 1st verse; you even treated me “like trash!” Like, fa’real! I luv how on tha 2nd verse, you brag so much about slangin’ “dat dick,” but now, you’ve been stuck with a kid for a long time, now. It’s like, you can’t even get outta Louisiana ‘cause of it! My Rating: 3.8


07. “Get It Today”
>>> Likin’ this beat intro of just one sound! Tha hook sounds pretty nice, too; why you gotta add that dick-suckin’ shit on your vocals, toward tha end of tha hook, though? Who you turnin’ on, smh? Not diggin’ tha beginning lyrics of tha 1st verse; why do all these rappers just rap about “money?” What gets you so erected to rap about it? E-R-E-C-T-E-D!! I have ta say, this beat’s pretty nice, either way, and I think this a real-catchy joint! I have ta admit: In tha 2nd verse, I’m feelin’ that “I’m a grinder! I’m a grinder! [Somethin’-Somethin’] tha 49’ers!!” part; you delievered it catchy! My Rating: 4.6


08. “On Yo Dum Ass” Feat. Skip
>>> Q-dash-R-dot-E-dot-D on tha beat. Sounds like you’re remakin’ tha flow/style of “White Tee” on tha hook, here; it’s catchy fa they “dum ass!” You sound pretty catchy on tha 1st verse, too… Skip startin’ tha 2nd verse wit an expected-“hiccup,” from tha “dick;” pretty rough, lol? I like how he “rollin’ up a gar, on [they] dum ass!” Tha 3rd verse iz pretty catchy, too; can’t deny it… My Rating: 4.3


09. “I Kno U Go Get Me”
>>> Okay start and 1st verse; tha hook sounds catchy wit tha repeatin’, though. Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, as well… Even a bridge, too… My Rating: 4.0


10. “Strip Club Ones” Feat. Detriot
I think it’s “Detriot” and not “Detroit”, only ‘cause I know you did a song with Magic, and he collaborated with people known as “Detriot”. >>> A lil’ bit of a bounce vibe for tha beat, here, from Q-Red; thought it would’ve been someone else on tha beat. Anyway, an okay hook from you, for tha start. Hearin’ some singin’, too; yeah, this iz “Detriot”, spelled like that. Would luv to comment on this beat, but you already know I can’t! So, I’ll just say that tha singin’ actually sounds good. And, here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit mo fuckin’-at-an-early-age-kinda shit. Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too… Not really feelin’ tha dick-suckin’-soundin’ vocals from you on tha 3rd verse, though; don’t know why you gotta do that ‘cause it turns me completely off! My Rating: 4.2


½time: So far, pretty nice and consistent; I believe I like this a lot betta than tha previous CD! You have that old Louisiana sound on most of tha tracks, which I used to feel! Now, I know none of these songs’ll eva get on my playlist, knowing today, but at least this review’s good. So far, a 4.3 for tha CD rating! Speakin’ of tha playlist, lol, I remember when I had, like, 3,000 Louisiana songs on my iPod!! LOL, I prolly have less than 10, now! Thanx, B-Real, fa ruinin’ my dream! No mo Louisiana in my priorities!


11. “Open Doors” Feat. Box
>>> Sounds like an okay song, so far; good shit from Box on tha 1st verse, nice and consistent wit it! Gotta feel his streetastic shit! Tha hook sounds catchy wit you tryna “kick it down,” Level. Here you are on tha 2nd verse… Ehh, do you really have ta say, “Still tha hottest?” Not cool! No need to think so positive! I hope I’m nowhere-near “tha hottest,” fa’real! I know I’m not; I’m not bein’ cocky ‘bout myself! Also, I saw nobody talk about this CD ‘til I celebrated Box’s birthday, and randomly saw a pic. Not to mention, this CD’s at least a month old, by now, and I ain’t hear anyone talk about it. And, where’s my hard copy? Talk about fallin’ off! Why I only get Easy Hustle shit in 2010? Why only one fuckin’ year with you guys?! Well, you’re not wit Easy Hustle, anymore, but still… I believe you’re a mailing virgin… My Rating: 4.0


12. “Ball Like A Dog” Feat. Mookie Blakk
Revived from tha dead? Whateva happened to all these people? It’s like, they talk on tha phone for one year and then, they’re nowhere to be found! Why? It ain’t hard to answer a fuckin’ phone, smh! That’s anotha reason why I had to get outta this business! >>> Almost sounded like tha audio quality was weak, in tha beginning… A hook from tha fallen-off Mookie, comin’ through wit a catchy hook. Even on tha 1st verse: He still “[throwin’] back?” Nice, but why’d he just fall off tha face of tha Earth wit me? What’d I do? I’m glad I’m no longer passionate about this shit ‘cause really, I was worth less than nothing, all this time! I know it! That’s why, I did all tha phone calls, not them! I did all tha initiative texts, not them! But, nice 1st verse, if he still in that zone… You on tha 2nd verse, here; it sounds okay… My Rating: 4.1


13. “Tonight” Feat. Mouse On Tha Track
>>> Almost sounds like an unsourced Mouse on tha hook, here, durin’ tha 2nd ½ of it? Sounds catchy, wit this beat; you sound good on tha verse, too… “Hit up Bella Noche,” huh? I thought that club was from tha ’07, Jigga House dayz? Wow, you really threwback, here, lol! My Rating: 4.3


14. “Sit Yo Ass Down” Feat. Thug Brothers
>>> Pretty energetic, Shonta-like beat, here; definitely nice and classic-soundin’! 2014, huh? Almost seems unreal! Nice job wit tha 1st verse, though you spoiled it wit tha “five grand for a show.” I even saw that online, that you charge $4,000 to be booked? Really? Gunplay only charges $500 more, and he wit a major? Nothin’ makes sense, here; you can’t be all greedy, now! Anyway, enough of dat, it’s time fa tha 2nd verse, wit this Thug Brother dude… It sounds pretty catchy, as always; a pure Baton Rouge sound! I like that ending of tha 2nd verse, wit, “Pop it fa Lil’ 38! Pop it fa Lil’ 38! Pop it fa Lil’ 38!” Tha 3rd verse iz nice, too, and yeah, true 2014, here: “I know, I know, like I’m Rich Homie,” lol! My Rating: 4.5


15. “I Don’t Play Dat”
>>> Sounds like a pretty serious beat intro… Sounds like a good 1st verse? Nice; I always think it’s tha hook, first… “I’m 26;” so am I, now. Of course, I’ve known your age. But, I develop a lot slower, baleedat! Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse, say, “I ain’t scared at all;” really? Why you afraid to answer a text, then? At least I “ain’t” afraid! Bein’ autistic, I can do what I want, with no fear! Next stop, tha abandoned, Kings Park Psychiatric Center; let’s explore! My Rating: 4.0


16. “Gun Rage” Feat. Mista Cain & Mookie Blakk
>>> An EQ beat. Not feelin’ tha “playin’ wit my money” shit in tha beginning of tha 1st verse. It’s like, what happened to tha true shit of jiggaz? What’s wit these lyrics that err-body be spittin’? So boring! But, tha 1st verse has a bit of a jam to it. Tha hook has a bit of that Louisiana “bow” in it, but I dunno if I can take it too serious… Speakin’ of, here’s that completely-overrated Cain on tha 2nd verse, that always goes in one ear/eye and out tha other. Either way, it’s pretty much betta than other shit I’ve heard, so I’ll give him props fa tha consistency. Still, there’s no room fa me in this business; glad I’m no longer in it…, hopefully! Damn, an unsourced Mookie on tha 3rd verse, here? How can you leave him out, Level? I finna put Mouse on tha feature on that song I thought he was in, too! He sound good on this shit; nice job, y’all… My Rating: 4.3


17. “Hit It” Feat. Mz. Trill
>>> Good hook; thought it was gon be catchier, but it’s still good. Mz. Trill on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit good shit, once again. Faster rhymes, more sex, lol! Tha 2nd verse from you’s good, too; can’t deny it. My Rating: 3.7


18. “Showing Love” Feat. Box & Mookie Blakk
>>> An EQ beat. This sounds okay fa tha hook, here; sounds like an uncredited singer… Tha 1st verse from you ain’t too bad, here… Got Mookie on tha 2nd verse (instead of Box; ID order error), and it’s like, why’d he recycle some of his ’08 rhymes? That beginning two lines about tha “like a pro” shit. It’s like, who tha hell still live in 2008? It still a good-soundin’ verse, though. Now, we got Box on tha 3rd verse; feelin’ his “is you wet yet? We should call you ‘Tsunami’” line! My Rating: 3.9


19. “Dat Good” Feat. Cupid
>>> Beat sounds catchy, includin’ tha way you deliver tha 1st verse… Tha hook has almost tha same kinda flow as Mookie does, even though it’s Cupid. Hmm, I guess this ain’t too bad… Tha 2nd verse sounds good from you, kickin’ it off wit a “splash.” Tha 3rd verse’s Cupid; not really into tha rap-like rhymes from him… My Rating: 3.6


20. “Sex Me”
>>> G-Motivation beat. Uncredited vocals on tha chorus? Sounds like it’s tha ‘90s R&B dayz, almost. Tha 1st verse ain’t too bad, here, though I think this gon sound boring… Tha 2nd verse aight, but I’m bored, by now. My Rating: 3.4


21. “Buy My Drink” Feat. Mookie Blakk & April Reign
Continuously spellin’ her like tha “Rain”, though I always go with what I first saw: “Reign”. >>> *Gasp* Wow, LEVEL MADE A SONG AT AT LEAST 128 BPM?!? Let alone, it’s 132!!! About time?! Doesn’t sound bad, at all; I can fuck wit this pop-dance-rap-like beat…! You sound good on tha 1st verse, too; spittin’ them good rhymes fa tha club! And, Reign on tha 2nd verse, too, comin’ through wit some nice singin’; I dig it! Here’s Mookie on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit some nice rhymes, ova this fast beat! Nice job! My Rating: 4.4


Overall: I have to admit, this was a pretty good CD; very consistent! Nice surprise at tha end, with tha 132 BPM song! Glad you still on tha (mysterious) grind wit tha quality, Baton Rouge-soundin’ music! Hope it continues…; not sure if I gon, though!
