R.I.P. Video #72: Tragic (Dirty Boyz)

Recorded May 30, 2020

Broadcasting from tha Bunkers of Alvira, here in Allenwood, PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog here, sadly reportin' anotha "Tragic" loss in tha Louisiana rap community.

Stanley Guarian, known by his stage name, Tragic, passed away on Wednesday, May 27, 2020; he was only 47-years-old.

Guarian was born in Baton Rouge, LA on February 2, 1973; tha stage name "Tragic" was an acronym that stood for "The Recording Artist Gifted In Christ." Guarian was a part of Baton Rouge, LA's Dirty Boyz rap group. Tha Dirty Boyz were formed durin' tha late '90s, in Baton Rouge, LA. Their original lineup consisted of members Kash, Tic, Black, Spade, Fatt Albert & Tragic, himself. Startin' their career under tha label IceHouse Records, tha Dirty Boyz released their debut album, 36 Ounces. Shortly after tha release, tha Dirty Boyz were later forced to leave IceHouse. Bouncin' right back, DB member, Kash, formed a new label, Dirty Boy Recordz (sometimes labeled as "DirtyBoy Entertainment" or "Dirty Boy Records," with an "S"). In 2006, tha Dirty Boyz released their 2nd album, Gutta Wayz 2 Get Paid. However, right before tha group's follow-up album dropped, tha group was down ta only three members, Fatt Albert, Tic & Kash. Needless ta say, tha group's 3rd album, Take Dat, Vol. 2, was released in 2008. As tha next decade went on, DB member, Fatt Albert, formed his own label, Beyond Reproach Entertainment. However, on tha tragic side of thangz, group member, Spade, had passed away & then, on Wednesday, May 27, 2020, Tragic tragically passed away. Earlier, on February 2nd of this year, Guarian celebrated his 47th birthday.

Review #1,138: Pada "Free Boo Boo (Promo Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 3.30.2012 (Review #1,138)

Gettin’ some more reviewz done… Here’s Pada Free Boo Boo (Promo Mixtape); Pada iz wit Jungle Records. Start Time: 9:08 AM | End Time: 9:32 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 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!

Link To CD: http://www.datpiff.com/PADA-Free-Boo-Boo-mixtape.316208.html

01. Intro

>>> You actually sound like M.A. wit tha voice; good intro. My Rating: N/A

02. “1 N A Million” Feat. Ya Yo

>>> Nice for a really slow beat; “did niggaz dirty”? I was gonna ask, do people do you “dirty”? Like, how do you succeed, without people bein’ bitches, wit sellin’ shit? Tha Ya Yo gurl sounds good wit her ‘90s-soundin’ voice and delivery, on tha hook. My Rating: 3.8

03. “Steppin’” Feat. Uptown Redd

I remember this; thanx for M.A. for sendin’ it to me! Sounds like a catchy song that’s okay wit tha whole “steppin’” thing; at least you’re squashin’ people. My Current Rating: 3.6

04. “Jacc Boy” Feat. Corday

>>> Sounds like an okay flow; almost sounds like I heard this kinda flow before, wit tha “robbery” beginning… Good 2^nd verse from tha Corday dude, “dressed in all black.” Feelin’ these “drugs” rhymes, especially when it comes ta “lookin’” fa ‘em! My Rating: 3.6

05. “CNN” Feat. Jay Regal

>>> Didn’t know what ta expect wit this; I like how it’s a trap anthem. Once again, anotha really slow beat ta rap off of… Jay Regal, lol wit tha “chair” that he had “ta grab fa” all tha “money;” good shit. My Rating: 3.7

06. “R-N-U” Feat. M.A.

>>> Good beginning from M.A.; keep it goin’… Oh, a hook; sounds good. Lol @ tha “university” part; sounds like a catchy part for such a random word, lol! Not bad wit your part on tha 1^st verse, Pada; M.A. has a slightly-betta verse on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through by ownin’ tha track. My Rating: 3.9

07. “Tell It How It Is” Feat. Ty

Bonus track @ #07? >>> I don’t really like hearin’ tha word “real” quite a lot, in a song, so this iz more on tha below-average/okay side for me… Tha rhymes are okay; guess features make tha songs better? My Rating: 3.1

08. “Clutchin’” Feat. Ty, Dino & Dogan

>>> Young Jack doin’ production, here; sounds like a hot beat. Tha hook sounds pretty tight; guess original production helps? Ooh, “Aimin’ at yo neck, tryna rip away ya vocal box;” gettin’ rid of dat ‘Me-Luv-Dick Tune’! I like how this iz on a gangsta tip; seems quite like a mission, too, wit tha music. Tha 3^rd verse sounds like it could be tha best fa me; lol @ tha “urinal” part. One of my group assignments iz based on a urinal, for class, lol; really lookin’ forward ta filmin’ new things! Keepin’ this shit goin’ wit some gangsta shit; damn @ this over-five-minute length… My Rating: 4.0

½time: A 3.7-rated CD; just like other Jungle Records CDs, this iz decent, too.

09. “My Jost Was Hard (Skit)”

>>> Likin’ that it’s a skit… Oh, maybe it should’ve been called a freestyle? I don’t know what a “jost” iz but it sounds good in these rhymes… My Rating: 4.1

10. “Blessed Child (Problems)” Feat. Ty & Lil’ Faron

Not really my kinda title… >>> I dunno why, but this beat start sounds really hot, whateva it iz; good pick! Tha 1^st verse sounds kinda typical, wit tha whole money, money, money shit… Tha hook’s okay, too; thought it would be a lil’ more catchier, wit betta lyrics, on a beat sound like dis… Tha 2^nd verse iz a lil’ betta; nothin’ really ta comment about it… A lil’ betta wit tha 3^rd verse, too; sounds like they’re reppin’ nicely fa tha team. Actually, hearin’ tha hook again, and it’s soundin’ like a great hook; pretty catchy on this beat! My Rating: 4.1

11. “Game Fukked Up”

Finally, a solo song? >>> Beginning sounds good; rhymes sound good on this beat, too. My Rating: 3.8

12. “Toat That Iron” Feat. Blacc

Bonus? >>> What’s wit tha jacked beat? Yuck… Likin’ that Blacc dude; hope he raps on some original-produced music… Can’t really comment on you, here, ‘cause tha beat’s jacked, which my interest’s really at 0. I’m only commentin’ on Blacc ‘cause this tha 1^st time I’m hearin’ him; glad he got some gangsta shit on here! My Rating: 3.3

13. “Dope Rental” Feat. Lil’ Faron

>>> I like this title and how this sounds, for what it iz… Oh no, all this money-related shit on tha 1^st verse; time ta skim through tha song! Tha feature’s okay, here, but doesn’t really do anything wit my interest… My Rating: 3.0

14. “Small Circle” Feat. Lil’ Faron

>>> Sounds like somethin’ I can usually hear about how people are assholes, and that you only mess wit a few; nothin’ new. My Rating: 2.7

15. “All Black Everything” Feat. Dude Blitz & Bear

Kinda bleh wit tha title… >>> Yea, anotha one that sounds like nothin’ new… A lil’ more excitin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, as far as, basically, tha flow… Tha 3^rd verse’s a lil’ betta, but tha content’s still boring. My Rating: 2.9

16. “Nikki”
>>> Ehh, nothin’ that great; not really into family-member songs, especially in rap music, especially in underground music! My Rating: 2.3

17. “Steppin’ (Clean)” Feat. Uptown Redd

See #3 fa tha review!

Overall: Okay, but tha 2^nd ½ was more below-average for me.

15.       “Nikki” 2.3

Review #1,125: M.A. "The Rap Derek Lewis (Hosted by Jungle Records Radio)"

Reviewed on 1.19.2012 (Review #1,125)


Startin’ my day off wit a review for Jungle Records’ M.A. The Rap Derek Lewis (Hosted by Jungle Records Radio). This mixtape iz also mixed by Yankee Brim $lim a.k.a. DJ 2 Pistols. Start Time: 8:36 AM | End Time: 9:05 AM

Link To CD: N/A


01. “The Rap Derek Lewis”
>>> LOL @ tha short ‘host’ intro… Sounds a touch catchy wit how you’re comin’ wit this song… Once again, you sound like Jay Regal, in a family way, wit tha voice… Oh, only one verse, here? Good job wit tha outro/radio talk, at tha end; you say this a “promo disc”? Sounds more like a mixtape, for me; “free Bear”? SMH @ jail!! My Rating: 3.8


02. “I Just Wanna Rip”
>>> At least this mixtape has mixin’ in it… Rhymes sound pretty good; longer outro than song, lol? Kinda funny, but it’s always good ta hear some details. My Rating: 3.6


03. “A.C.T.”
Ironically, I’m studyin’ “ACT” framework for class, currently; let’s see what you got, here. >>> Of course, it ain’t tha framework, and more on what anyone can talk about. Oh, even though it’s an acronym, it’s more of a word, wit an acronym spellin’: “Watch me act a ass wit it;” I see… Sounds good, wit how everything sounds together; a “Q Black” production, accordin’ to you. Prolly could’ve added some more energy wit a song like dis… My Rating: 3.9


04. “Good Nite” (J.A.P.A.N.)
You already know. My Current Rating: 4.2


05. “Pose 4 Tha Mirror”
>>> Time fa an anthem for those “ladies” dat gon “pose 4 tha mirror”? Let’s see… Thought it was gonna be a lil’ soft, but it’s a good/okay song, overall; not bad wit tha hook… Rhymes also go wit tha hook; nothin’ bad ‘bout dis… My Rating: 3.8


06. Friday (Skit)
>>> LOL, didn’t expect a skit on this mixtape, for some reason (I guess since tha previous ones I reviewed didn’t have any); nice job wit this “garbage” (and I don’t mean negatively)! My Rating: N/A


07. “Up N Here”
>>> Sounds like an anticipatin’, Beat Flippa meets Nu$$ie-type beat, here; lookin’ forward! Kinda took a while wit tha beginning, but this sounds good. Still, might need more energy in tha voice!! Good job wit this club shit; I have ta feel it better than usual songs! My Rating: 4.2


08. “Ham N Dis Bytch” Feat. Dino & Bear
>>> Almost five minutes long, but let’s see what I can get outta this… Nice beginning rhymes; anotha hot club/good anthem. Even though there should be more energy in tha voice, this sounds good/shit I can tolerate… I don’t mind anyone’s rhymes, here; Dino’s on tha 3^rd verse, so shouldn’t he be behind Bear on tha ID? My Rating: 4.1


½time: Above average, for me; 3.9 for tha current CD rating…


09. “Keep Smokin’” Feat. Jack (of Down Bad) & Pada
>>> A.K.A. Jack Da Rippa; I thought that’s who I heard in tha beginning… I was gonna say, at least it’s an attempt for a better feature than other CDs I previously reviewed, but most people are tha same wit their buzzes and shit. I like how Jack says, “Dat last gram I had? Psst, sold it!” You already know it’s ‘bout dis smokin’ shit! Was kinda worried ‘bout tha 7:12 length, but it ain’t bad. LOL @ when it says, “Man, I’m loaded in dis bitch,” ‘round 3:40, it sounds like I can hear pasting (wit hearin’ a sound effect before tha repeatin’). But yea, definitely a jam; you know dat Jack actually has more character and energy when he raps/sings! My Rating: 4.3


10. “On My Mind”
>>> Now, a shorter song; good transition, and it sounds like a song ta make you feel good ‘bout yourself. My Rating: 4.0


11. “Murda Man (Freestyle)”
>>> ROFL, I thought that first few seconds was my voice! It’s ironic ‘cause we’re textin’ right now! But, not a skit, but a freestyle, and it’s pretty gutta; from jail? Where this comin’ from? Good shit; oh, from “tha computer”? My Rating: 4.3


12. “Love In The Studio”
>>> WTF iz this long, pop/boy band vocals shit? Took way too long for me to hear your verse; not much interest for me… My Rating: 1.5


13. “Super Sick” Feat. Neno Tha Don
>>> Now, no beat, but it sounds good in tha beginning… Now, I’m hearin’ tha beat and lyrics; it’s more on tha ‘typical’, 2010s music structure, for me, so I can’t feel this too much. Really, only tha acapella freestyle caught my attention, in tha beginning. I also have to comment your “polo,” too, since dat shit’s nice. My Rating: 2.7


14. “From A Distance”
>>> At least this ain’t no long-ass, boring-ass song; it’s decent and short, tha way a mixtape track should be. Well, I dunno about tha beat, but this ain’t terrible, for me; at least you keepin’ tha rhymes goin’… My Rating: 3.2


15. “The Best”
>>> I don’t think I gon go for this; 4:31 on tha length, no less… Sounds a lil’ for a teenager, for me, wit tha lyrics; ironic for someone that’s older than me… I rather hear some X-rated rhymes, instead. My Rating: 1.6


16. “Spot Light”
>>> Not a good ending for me, wit this “throw up”/’I-sit-in-tha-house-everyday-dwellin’-on-makin’-a-friendship year of 2005 (“Down And Out” beat). Barely any interest, but now, you finally have better/consistent rhymes? Not too powerful of a mix, for me, unfortunately. My Rating: 2.9


Overall: Ehh, it was better in tha beginning, but took a nose-dive toward tha end; not every rapper can create this so-called ‘diversified’ Louisiana music.


Rankings:

15. “Love In The Studio” 1.5
14. “The Best” 1.6

Link To CD: N/A

01. “P.A. Niggaz”

Let’s hear it! >>> Sounds like a tight anthem fa Port Allen, despite it bein’ a Vybe beat! Really likin’ that tha title’s in tha song, frequently; definitely grabbin’ tha listener by tha ear, for Port Allen!! My Rating: 4.3

02. “Thuggin’ & Lovin’ It” Feat. Dude Blitz & Dee Dee

>>> Must be tha same singer from tha “cook” song, from tha Jay Bin Laden CD? Sounds catchy, this time, wit tha hook! Good job wit tha verses, too; kinda feels like a musical glance at Port Allen, at its finest! My Rating: 4.1

03. “Good Nite”

Now, it’s not a compound word; produced by Young Jack, as I previously heard! My Current Rating: 4.2

04. “Lay ‘Em Down”

A solo from Regal… Oh yea, I recognize this title; tha “9millie” song, lol. My Current Rating: 3.7

05. “Deuces Freestyle”

Solo from M.A., here. >>> I hear M.A.’s mixtape title, The Rap Derek Lewis, in tha intro; guess I gon hear this tomorrow, when I review M.A.’s solo mixtape? Either way, “Deuces” beat or not, this ain’t too bad; M.A. seems ta have nearly tha same voice as Jay Regal, these dayz… Rhymes are barely passin’ tha ‘aight’ mark fa me, here, but more on tha boring side, overall… Also, since it’s a “freestyle”, it shouldn’t be tha same length as tha original! My Rating: 3.1

06. “Deez Streets” Feat. 20

Wonder who this 20 dude iz… >>> Really think y’all “die in deez streets”? :( Hope not; can’t even think about death!! Still, I’m feelin’ these “streets”-type rhymes; keep this shit up! My Rating: 3.9

07. “Murder Rate”

>>> This iz a ‘repeat’ beat for me (Vybe); played a song who made their own song off of this, back in ’09, so I already had a main song off this beat, which makes my interest real low… For this, I’m likin’ tha ‘gun’ rhymes, once again; I really like how y’all paint a picture of your streets. M.A. on tha 2^nd verse? Catchy flow; I’ll give it credit, includin’ tha nice rhymes. My Rating: 3.5

08. “Paper Chase” Feat. Redd

>>> Because it’s a Vybe beat, this iz okay, overall; glad it’s a ‘mission’-type song! I like tha “lunch line” line; all about them memories! Redd does a nice job wit his contributions, too; gotta feel how he comin’ through, on tha track! My Rating: 3.6

½time: A 3.8-rated CD, currently.

09. “Get It Girl”

>>> Really would like to hear original beats; this iz decent, but nothin’ I’d really pay attention to… My Rating: 3.0

10. “Game Tight”
Production from Drako? >>> Sounds remakey…; luckily, it ain’t too bad, and tackles a good subject, since it’s all about tha “real.” Whether this iz remakey or not, I’m likin’ it, and think it’s a nice production. Rhymes are soundin’ good, of course, I can dig it… My Rating: 4.0

11. “Fuck U Pay Me” (Tune Feat. J.A.P.A.N.)

Not sure what you mean by “tune” in tha ID… New production from Biggs, here… >>> Sounds like a quiet version of “Wipe Me Down”, a lil’; not bad… Oh wait, do you mean Tune Feat. J.A.P.A.N. for tha ID ‘cause it’s actually y’all CD? Okay, I hear, and I’m correct; my bad for tha confusion. I have to say, this sounds like a nice, underground, underground song for tha underground, lol. My Rating: 3.8

12. “Livin’ My Life” Feat. S.B.R. Boy

Speakin’ of S.B.R. Boy, what happened to his Facebook? Ducked off? >>> Beginning sounds okay; thought I’d hear a lil’ more tightness from S.B.R., but it’s all good, still. Kinda long on tha length, but I dunno what ta say…; you already know dat you guys hold it down for tha streetz. My Rating: 3.6

13. “D’Boys”

Lil’ Wubb on tha beat; I remember this. However, when hearin’ tha beginning, right now, “Raw Ha Records”? “Hood Official Vol. 1;” fa real? I remember that CD gettin’ pushed back/cancelled ‘cause I didn’t even have an editing program, at tha time, lol; weird dedication! My Current Rating: 4.2

14. “Street Shit” Feat. Dino

>>> Nothin’ really special wit tha sound and how this sounds wit tha 1^st verse… Damn @ Jay Regal for takin’ “a baby;” crazy! Ooh, Dino has a good voice fa this; nice job, too! My Rating: 3.2

15. “Fashion Show” Feat. Dino

Anotha production from Drako, here… >>> Nothin’ really special between tha beat and what’s goin’ on wit tha song… For some reason, tha features seem to be catchin’ my attention more; good job, Dino, endin’ this off. My Rating: 2.9

16. “Leave Me Lonely” Feat. Redd & Tut

>>> Wow, weak beat start for J.A.P.A.N.! :( Now, tha rhymes are soundin’ betta, smh? Rhymes are okay, but they’re, like, non-Louisiana for me, wit this sound. M.A. sounds good wit his shit, here, so I’ll give him some credit… My Rating: 2.5

17. “I Ain’t Fuckin’ Wit Cha” Feat. Pada & Bear

>>> Catchy for an ending song; not bad… Likin’ tha 1^st verse wit tha flow, voice, and shit goin’ on, here… Tha 2^nd verse iz nice, too; looks like tha features help, once again! My Rating: 3.8

Overall: Ehh, could’ve been a lil’ betta, but I guess tha original beats’ll come soon…

Review #858: Daywun "Uptown President"

Reviewed on 3.04.2011 (Review #858)




This iz my 6th review for today: Daywun “Uptown President”, representin’ Matta Fack Muzic! Start Time: 12:49 PM | End Time: 1:09 PM


Quick Note: 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.

01. “Daywun”
Self-titled song? Have I heard of dis? >>> You sound good, of course, but this beat’s too mainstream/boring. Feelin’ tha tightness you bringin’ to tha table, here; good shit, reppin’ fa tha “block!” My Rating: 4.2


02. “Who Would A Thought”
>>> This sounds good, too; you have somethin’ special when you approach tha mic! My Rating: 4.3


03. “Fast Route” Feat. Fee & Young Sleepy
>>> What tha hell was up wit dat homosexual “Matta Fact Muzic” tag? I browsed through dis; somethin’ about your voices sounded homosexual so I barely listened. My Rating: 2.3


04. “The Reason” Feat. Ream
I don’t rememba which songs I heard and didn’t hear, yet. >>> Ooh, I’m likin’ dis sound wit dat “mummy” or whateva dat girl’s sayin’ in tha beat background!! Good job wit dis and this “reason!” My Rating: 4.2


05. “I Want It All” Feat. Killa C
Again, this sounds good; thumbs up fa includin’ dis ’08 joint on here! My Current Rating: 4.5


06. “What U Looking At” Feat. Young Sleepy
>>> Intro sounds stupid but tha way you deliver tha rhymes iz definitely a plus!! Good street shit, here; Sleepy sounds good, too, but nothin’ compares ta you, dawg! My Rating: 4.1


07. “’Bout Money” Feat. Young Sleepy
>>> This iz good, too. I feel tha same about dis as I did wit “What U Looking At”. My Rating: 4.2


08. “Dedication” Feat. Fee, Ream & Bear
>>> Sounds like some good, motivational-type shit, here. I like tha way all y’all come through on dis! Bear died? What happened? My Rating: 4.3


½time: A 4.0-rated CD, so far; you keep tha hot shit comin’ wit your voice and energy!


09. “Take It From The Top” Feat. Young Sleepy & Yno
>>> Sounds like you have dat hot “shit”, once again! SMH @ dat stupid-ass “hop up out tha bed” line; wish no one would remember it!!!!! Good job from tha features; they always show you luv wit their quality! Yno crazy wit it!! Prolly should’ve put him last in tha ID since Sleepy was before him. My Rating: 4.4


10. “Matta Fack Muzic” Feat. Young Sleepy, Fee & Bear
>>> Thought this would be betta; some things I’m not feelin’ too much, here. For one, tha “Matta Fack Muzic, baby” shit’s gettin’ to me, a lil’. Anyway, not too bad wit tha verses… My Rating: 3.8


11. “Sniff U Out” Feat. Yno
>>> Baton Rouge-soundin’ intro dat sounds hot in tha beat! SMH @ dat stupid “MFM, baby” shit! Good shit y’all spittin’; what a team, here!! Tha hook’s interestin’ wit dis title, lol; definitely some hood shit to tha fullest! Was gonna rate dis a 4.5 but lowerin’ my rating ‘cause of dat stupid “MFM, baby” shit thing. My Rating: 4.4


12. “Go” Feat. Young Sleepy & Fee
>>> SMH @ tha intro… again! This shit sounds a lil’ quiet ‘til you come in; pretty-good song, overall, as I’m likin’ your attitude. My Rating: 3.9


13. “As A Matta Of Fack” Feat. Young Sleepy, Fee & Bear
>>> SMH @ tha intro… again, again!! This iz a decent song; tha previous one was betta. Damn, you blow everyone away wit how you come through wit it, lol. Some of tha shit sounds grimy, here… My Rating: 3.8


14. “What U Looking At (Remix)” Feat. Young Sleepy, Fee & Bear
>>> SMH @ that fuckin’ tag; stop pissin’ me off!! Neva heard of so much dickridin’ at its finest, smh. Anotha pretty-good-soundin’ song, overall. My Rating: 4.0


15. “Talk A Lot Of Shit” Feat. Young Sleepy
“A lot” iz two words. >>> Tha beat sounds familiar and iz tight, here. It ain’t really Louisiana-soundin’ music; more like some Early 2000s East Coast-type shit. Got to a tight level once you grabbed tha mic! My Rating: 4.1


16. “Let’s Get It” Feat. Yno
>>> Anotha joint dat got betta once you started rappin’ on it; thought I’d expect betta from Yno, here. Either way, still a lil’ catchy. My Rating: 3.7


17. “Uptown 2 Harvey” Feat. Almighty
>>> Why did it say, “suck a dick, baby,” in tha beginn—oh, it was tha annoyin’ tag; whoops! Anyway, I like how you sound on this Baton Rouge-soundin’ beat mixed wit a lil’ East Coast. A not-so-bad collaboration, since tha content’s good, too. My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Other than dat stupid, gay-ass, dickridin’ tag, I thought you did a pretty-good job fa a CD of you!

01. Intro
Let’s do dis thang… >>> Sounds good. You sound catchy and tha beat’s cool… My Rating: N/A


02. “Let The Track Breed”
I wonder what this “breed”in’ iz… >>> Tha beat start sounds real hot but only 2:16 on tha length? Afta like 40 seconds, here’s tha 1st verse and I’m likin’ tha start ta it: “Smoke green,” ya dig! LOL @ tha “fuck you” ad-lib! Tha 1st verse sounds good and you keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse; just LUVIN’ dis beat right chea!!! You REALLY representin’!! My Rating: 4.4


03. “Mad At Me”
I’m likin’ this title so I might get lucky wit hearin’ dis shit! >>> Wow, LUVIN’ tha bassline/rhythm for tha start of tha beat!!! Str8 CATCHY as a ma’fucka so far!!! I’m likin’ tha style fa undaground Louisiana Rap music and tha hook sounds good; who would be “mad at you???” Tha 2nd verse has cool rhymes on this beat… Tha 3rd verse iz “hot like gumbo” fa a start here; you said it! Tha end of tha 3rd verse’s REAL, REAL HOT!! “Lyrical typhoon!!” My Rating: 4.4


04. “Voltron” Feat. Daywun
Shit, yea, tha Daywun dude’s here!!! REALLY lookin’ forward ta hearin’ dis, ya heard me!!! >>> Damn, only 2:11 on tha length? Hope y’all REALLY do it BIG though!! Tha hook’s cool; I like how you represent fa it! Ooh, tha Daywun dude’s on tha 1st verse; good-ass shit! You’re hoppin’ onta tha 2nd part right chea and it sounds good… Shit, yea, Daywun on tha 3rd part, “splittin’ a check!” You’re on tha 4th part wit dat “fiya!” Shit, yea, a 5th part from Daywun, spittin’ some good shit about tha streetz! You’re on tha 6th part and you DEFINITELY “don’t lay down fa nothin’!!” Tight shit!! Daywun’s on tha 7th part and he spittin’ some HOT “school” shit! LOL, seven parts? I would think eight but it was 28 bars total. My Rating: 4.3


05. “Cash Rules”
Looks typical; let’s see what’s good… >>> Yea, kinda typical wit a play off tha “C.R.E.A.M.” hook; not bad on tha soundin’ though… Not bad wit tha rappin’ on tha 1st verse; you holdin’ it down… Tha 2nd verse’s holdin’ it down too… I like tha lil’ bridge; sounded almost familiar too… This sounds like some good, undaground Hip-Hop dat would play at my college in 2003… My Rating: 3.9


06. “Battle Me”
Ooh, you settin’ up a field, lol! >>> Oh, so dat’s what tha M.F. stands fa: Matta Fack Muzic; I feel ya! Tha beat sounds good here fa tha undaground tip and tha hook’s pretty good. Tha 1st verse has some gangsta shit goin’ on here; good job showin’ tha streetz what chu like! Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ it on a good level once again; nice job here. My Rating: 3.8


07. “Move” Feat. Daywun
DAYWUN AGAIN!!! >>> Tha beat’s aight and this iz pretty short too… I think dat’s you on tha 1st verse here and it’s aight… Sounds like Daywun’s in tha background at times! Pretty good so far and Daywun’s holdin’ down tha 2nd verse; such a BIG DAWG!!! He did his thang on dis; I’m feelin’ his attitude when he raps! He must way at least 200 pounds, lol!! My Rating: 4.2


½time: This sounds pretty good so far, ya dig! Nice job deliverin’ this HOT shit, includin’ tha features!! Tha average CD rating’s at 4.2 right now; keep it up!


08. “Same O’le Shit”
LOL @ how tha title looks; let’s see… >>> Kinda sader on tha start here; just an okay beat for me. You did an aight job wit tha rappin’ too… Tha hook’s startin’ ta become catchy too… My Rating: 3.4


09. “Official” Feat. Yno & Killa C
This looks like it gon be a GR8 collab!! >>> Oh, I heard this Vybe beat 2x already at least (tha “Separate Ways” sample one); this one sounds pretty good wit how y’all deliverin’ tha hook though. You’re on tha 1st verse, “presidential status!” Nice job wit tha hook and I’m likin’ how you presentin’ tha hook once again; gr8 flow! Here’s tha 2nd verse; it must be Yno since he’s 1st on tha feature. LOL, he has a good character here! I really like how he sounded towards tha end of tha verse; definitely gr8 ta be family!! Let’s see how my big dawg Killa C does on tha 3rd verse!! He spittin’ dat gangsta shit; thumbs up ta him bein’ featured too! My Rating: 4.3


10. “Yea”
LOL… >>> This iz an old-ass beat. It’s like 2001ish. Yea, it’s like tha Jaheim “Anything (Remix)”; that’s what it sounds like. It’s okay for a short lil’ freestyle… My Rating: 3.2


11. “Got To Get It” Feat. Gunsmoke & Yno
Let’s see now dat there’s a newbie on this! >>> Okay start; looks like y’all will do ya thang… You doin’ a good job wit tha 1st verse, ya dig… Dat newbie (Gunsmoke)’s on tha 2nd verse and he sounds cool; anotha gr8 M.F. artist! Now, it’s Yno on tha 3rd verse, bringin’ his character ta tha table! Anotha verse from him dat gets BETTA towards tha end!! My Rating: 4.1


12. “Matta Fack Muzic” Feat. Sleepy, Bear, Yno & Daywun
Iz this tha Sleepy I know wit Already Ent.? Let’s see this BIG collab!! >>> Yea, DEFINITELY representin’ in tha beginning!! Cool ta hear this Sleepy in tha beginning; good shit! He sounds good on tha 1st verse wit his lil’ content; doin’ it for tha streetz!! This beat’s okay/good and makes me care more about tha rappin’ this time! Tha 2nd verse (or next part; not sure if a hook came up) sounds pretty good; this must be Bear! He sounds like a “bear,” lol, ‘cause he pretty gutta wit how he delivers his shit also wit his voice! Tha Yno dude must be next; he doin’ his thang again!! A shitload o’ gangsta shit comin’ from him!! I can just imagine how GR8 Daywun gon be on dis!! Pretty good shit goin’ on here in tha 4th part! I’m likin’ how it’s bein’ presented! Good job from Daywun and now, you’re last right chea, Rock. Pretty good, representin’… My Rating: 4.3


13. “Someone Like Me” Feat. Fee
Lemme hear this… >>> Okay start; kinda not catchy wit tha beat start though fa me… Fee went 1st? That was pretty good… Tha 2nd part sounds good… Yea, Fee was on tha 1st part ‘cause he’s on tha 3rd part here, really deliverin’ some real-ass street shit! Definitely focused right chea!! He’s even endin’ this shit! My Rating: 4.0


14. The Best Of M.F.
“The Best Of Killa C” was an intro track and now, this iz an outro track here, lol! >>> Yup, good flashbacks just like Killa C’s mix, although yours iz ova four minutes less, lol. My Rating: N/A


Overall: A gr8 CD from you too! You scored tha same CD rating as Killa C but deeper statistics show dat this was a lil’ betta… Keep up tha gr8 work wit Matta Fack Muzic!!
