Review #1,428: DeTrane "The Manifesto Disc"

Reviewed on 1.30.2015 (Review #1,428)

Anotha day, anotha review… Here goes anotha review for tha Baton Rouge Music Company: DeTrane The Manifesto Disc… Start Time: 4:26 PM | End Time: 5:25 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!

01. “Juz Practicing”

X-Fyle on tha track… >>> Oh, re-reading tha title while I listen to this, and it sounds like you are “practicing.” “Camp engineering,” here… Sounds like it could be your first-eva recorded song? A lil’ “practicing” in tha beginning and now, tha hook, and it sounds great on this beat… Hearin’ tha only verse and it sounds good, except for referencing one of my enemies; good grief… Anyway, great to hear for a practice track… My Rating: 4.1

02. “DOD (Date Of Disappearance)”

Nice title… >>> Nice beginning beat… Oh, lol, what happened to that producer (Vybe), ROFL?! Reminds me of when I did a billion reviewz in one year (2010). LOL, what a loser I was with no job and no car! Anyway, a short song and tha lyrics are okay, here… Pretty shitty for a “disappearance” to occur… Tha beat sounds like it screwed up a lil’ bit around 2:03, but still, pretty-good track, overall… My Rating: 3.7

03. “LTPTFB”

Not sure what to expect here, but produced by Adam Roberstson… >>> Sounds pretty good… “Livin’ too fast,” huh? Yeah, I remember you with those dayz ‘cause you had connections… I been livin’ nice and slow ‘cause I had nobody in tha beginning to hang out with and all dat, so I decided to do college and school, first, before all tha high hangouts and all dat. Well, this only has one verse with a long beat outro… Beat’s nice and what you were spittin’ was great, too; glad you’re still alive… My Rating: 3.8

04. “Bend It Ova” feat. Target & June

>>> Really likin’ tha start to this track, lol!! Beat’s pretty catchy and I luv how you’re spittin’ some sexual rhymes ova this track! Tha hook sounds pretty good, too; diggin’ tha whole vibe, once again… Here comes Target on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit okay rhymes… I like how it says, “Where my real niggaz at?,” in tha background of tha hook… Anyway, here comes June on tha 3^rd verse and he sounds great to hear, too! “Dem Xanabarz;” yeah! My Rating: 4.4

05. “Played With Razors”

>>> Though not listed on tha filename, X-Fyle’s doin’ tha beat, here… I know I remember this title from old filenames or somethin’ that you might’ve sent me… Anyway, tha hook sounds catchy, especially with this slicing title… Tha verse’s pretty good; just regular rappin’ at its finest… My Rating: 4.0

06. “Like This, Like That” feat. Target & Mashes

I know this came before your compilation, but lol, tha same filename! Nice beat start to get you hyped up… You on tha 1^st verse… Tha hook sounds pretty nice with these females helpin’ you out! Glad to hear you rappin’ once again, with tha 1^st verse! It sounds pretty good, here… LOL, “no masturbate?” Random that you mentioned it… Anyway, nice job, here! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, here, from this Target person; not like tha store, lol? It sounds pretty good, here; regular white boy rap, here, with tha flow and sound… Tha female on tha 3^rd verse, here (Mashes?)… It sounds nice, although a lil’ quiet with tha whole track’s sound, overall? I’m diggin’ her sexual shit; nice collab! LOL @ tha ending, between you and tha chick with tha “Girl, I like…” / “Boy, I like…;” nice! My Current Rating: 4.2

07. “Dumb, Dumb” feat. B-Raw & Lil’ Yella

Finally on a disc, but because of tha feature, I’m not goin’ to press play. I’m just goin’ to remember what it sounded like when I heard it five years ago… Anyway, Camp on tha beat. Oh yeah, remembering even better: This was when B-Raw turned his back on me. This was one of two (yeah, two) songs I played on that radio show I did, where I played him and then, got deleted from Facebook. Yeah, not acceptable at all! So, based off my memory: Catchy topic of pillz, catchy hook, an okay beat, and nice verses… My Current Rating: 4.5

08. “Aiming 4 The North”

An X-Fyle beat with LoJo engineering tha track… >>> Beat’s nice, with a lil’ rock sound in tha background… Here you are on tha 1^st verse and it sounds good to hear. Tha hook sounds catchy with how you’re “aiming 4 tha North,” despite you neva comin’ to visit me! When will it be? I know you’re a dad now, so it’s a lil’ hard… FYI: You “started out in ’98;” good to know, as you start tha 2^nd verse, here… Pretty-good 2^nd verse, overall, as you kept this track goin’… Did tha beat screw up a lil’ (like a part of it was missing) at 2:43? My Rating: 4.1

09. “Drawn Together”

>>> Sounds like a good song with lyrics for tha start, here, and tha plain beat sounds good with some of tha sounds I hear… “We fly high like some jointz;” you know! Tha verse sounds pretty good, here… Tha 2^nd verse’s nice to hear, too… LOL @ tha “Hey, This Tha Best Kept Secret!” in tha background; reminds me of 2012 with P.I.R. from Morganza! My Rating: 3.5

10. “36 Bars”

X-Fyle, or should I fully say, Howard M X-Fyle on tha track… >>> LOL, a lotta “nice” shit, here, from “tits” to anything you can think of, randomly and quickly, lol… Beat sounds plain with a lil’ bit of good southern sounds… I like how you spelled, “D-E-T-R-A-N-E.” I remember those dayz when people would “try to dial my phone;” kinda feels weird that my buzz completely died… Likin’ tha “B…R…M…C…,” too… And, you went all tha way till tha end, here, with a nice, cold ending… My Rating: 4.2

11. “Tell Me Why”

Lil’ Fonzie on tha track… >>> Beat sounds nice; I’m diggin’ tha choir-like dark sound… Hearin’ you rap this verse and I’m likin’ that you “wish [you] had a purple J to pass tha time;” I agree. However, when I smoke, it’s a socialize enhancer; I almost don’t feel autistic anymore, and it’s great that I feel more normal…! Great job with this track, overall… My Rating: 4.3

½time: Diggin’ this Disc, so far; glad you put out a disc! It’s always a good thing to leave your mark on tha world! Nice production and great stories from you; keep it up! Currently, your average CD rating’s at a 4.1!

12. “Time Tick’n” feat. Polo Turk & D-So

Likin’ tha lineup of features, here, with X-Fyle on tha beat… >>> Sounds like an owl or somethin’ whistlin’ in tha beginning, lol? Sounds like this gon be exciting; nice beginning with tha beat and you in tha beginning… Tha hook’s catchy; gotta keep representin’ fa “BRMC” and tha “family!” “Donuts with no filling,” huh? Gotta luv it! Ate three of ‘em today, three yesterday, and four on Wednesday! Here’s Polo Turk on tha 2^nd verse and he sounds like a dope dude to hear; great voice fa tha 225 and some good rhymes on this! LOL @ 2:53: It sounded like it jumped, a lil’… LOL @ 3:06, when D-So came in: Tha audio quality got worse and it sounded like an earthquake sound, in tha beginning of it, ROFL… Anyway, gotta luv D-So and it’s still great to hear; can’t fuck wit him tha wrong way! “And, hit ya wit dat tiger bite!” LOL, afta tha final hook, it just cut off, coldly, lol! That’s a word while I’m high, when describin’ my nose: “Coldly!” My Rating: 4.4

13. “Ashes” feat. Mista Matt & Heno

A lil’ #TBT feature to go with what I said yesterday, during tha Respect The Music Vol. 1 review. Anyway… >>> A good start; guitar sound in tha beginning almost sounds like “Stayin’ Alive”… Anyway, kickin’ off this “South Coast Coalition”-like collab off with you on tha 1^st verse; sounds pretty good with your rappin’… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s awkward; what’s this voice I’m not used to? Not really diggin’ that voice with tha “die” subject… Here’s tha 2^nd verse and lol @ you buyin’ “herb by tha gram, not tha dime.” LOL, I “buy by tha dime” ‘cause I don’t need that much for tha evening to get me high. Plus, I don’t need it to reach levels where I’m blowin’ so much money; $5 - $10 a night’s fine for me… Good job wit tha 2^nd verse; gotta feel your rappin’ and what you provide on tha mic… Here’s Matt on tha 3^rd verse and this dude / voice goes good with Flashback Friday, at least… Even better lyrics than yours, here; diggin’ tha “through tha jungle” shit. LOL, iz that, “When you die, I’mma save you like trophies,” on tha hook? LOL, it sounds random, but I think this was great, overall… Oh, and, Heno on tha outro, too (he was on tha hook); sounded like a vampire at tha end, or some scary creature, lol… My Rating: 4.3

14. “Let Him”

>>> LOL @ tha 2004 “Hold You Down” beat from The Alchemist and them from NY; reminds me of my first iPod… Anyway, nice 1^st verse from you; good lyrics to go over this jacked beat… Either way, what happened to tha shorter songs? I think it was better to have them ‘cause tha longer ones by yourself can get a lil’ dragging… Tha 2^nd verse’s nice, dedicated to your fiancé, at tha time (I remember tha old filename, even though I neva listened to tha song, years and years ago). LOL, back in ’08 & ’09, I used to associate tha word, “Fiancé,” with you ‘cause I used to always hear it from you; figured I’d let you know that fact. And now, here’s tha 3^rd verse; more rappin’ for tha fee-to-tha-ahnss-to-tha-aye, lol… My Rating: 3.2

15. “City Lights” feat. CK & Profit

>>> Beat sounds pretty good, here, with a singin’ hook soundin’ good, too; nice to represent tha “city” of Baton Rouge! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s a nice representation for this track; keep it goin’… Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice, here… “Pillz got us trippin’ and killin’ our own children;” crazy… Tha 3^rd verse sounds good from you; always keep it goin’ while you “march when [you] step!” My Rating: 4.2

16. “Lay’em In The Street” feat. Profit & Savage

>>> Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! What a trap!!! *Screams my manager and my future girlfriend, who I helped buy a car’s names together!!!* As soon as I saw this title, I was like, “Wow, I remember that “Lay ‘Em In Da Street” song from A-Mar & Dyl from 2010; ironic title.” And, whataya know? This that fuckin’ song!! Savage on tha beat and hook, of course… In my manager’s funny voice, “Why’d I have to hear that voice on tha hook, right now?!?” Oh, let’s pretend I neva got high before, like an asshole and had no car!! Ewe, weird times; it’s just a guilty pleasure feeling, right now!! Anyway, good job with tha 1^st verse, DeTrane, but get a different beat and let this one R.I.P.! Tha 2^nd verse from Profit’s good, too; not bad, but you brought tha vagina outta me, here!! It’s like, why’d Savage have to unfollow me from Twitter & Instagram? Oh, and he even followed B-Raw on Instagram; good fuckin’ grief! Talk about backstabbing! Thought he didn’t know him? Gee, thanx? I could care less, anyway; I’ll just say, “I suck,” and admit it! I’m glad I fell off! I’m glad I’m a self-centered cunt, these dayz!! I had to unfollow him ‘cause he wasn’t peepin’ out videos I was doin’ for him, and he had B-Real on his page, at times, which was really uncomfortable… My Rating: 4.2

17. “Prying Eyes”
Nice title, again… >>> Tha beat sounds nice with a rock sound in tha background… Okay, we’re back to tha shorter songs, once again (including tha previous song, though I was so distracted with that one)… Tha verse’s pretty good with how you handle this beat and these “eyes,” lol… Tha hook sounds nice, too; feelin’ how you comin’ through on this. My Rating: 4.1

18. “Baton Rouge Anthem” (ChaYsuh feat. Lil’ Yella, DeTrane & City Boy)

You’re on tha feature? >>> Nice that ChaYsuh was on tha intro, but really? “B-Raw on tha feature;” why? Don’t be scarin’ me again!! Anyway, nice 1^st verse from Yella, here; diggin’ what he bringin’ to tha table with this nice beat… Oh, no wonder why you’re on tha feature: It’s ChaYsuh’s song… Hearin’ tha hook and ChaYsuh’s reppin’ this hook pretty good; nice job! Here he iz on tha 2^nd verse and he’s comin’ through wit some great shit ta vibe to… Makes me wanna appreciate tha whole “Baton Rouge” sound, once again! Here’s you on tha 3^rd verse, Trane, and it sounds pretty upbeat, as far as tha energy you bring to tha table. *Grunts* C’mon, Trane, with that reference of you-know-who… Here’s City Boy on tha 4^th verse, comin’ through with good shit; almost thought it was you-know-who, lol! You know I had to prepare! A quick verse, but he did a nice job representin’, here! LOL, it cut off real quick? My Rating: 4.4

19. “No Stems, No Seeds”
>>> LOL, tha volume got much lower than tha previous song… LOL @ tha intro to tha hook: “Wake up in tha morning, hit this muthafuckin’ weed;” you already know! Rarely have hit it early, but you already know I’m up for anything. And, when I say that, that doesn’t include peer pressure; that includes not bein’ tired for anything, no matter what hour it iz! Anyway, here’s tha verse, and it sounds good; nice job, here… LOL, I should make this my top-rated song ‘cause of tha topic of “weed!” My Rating: 4.5

20. “Dumb Way” feat. D-So, A-Mar & Dyl

Speakin’ of Throwback Thursday with tha features, here’s anotha one (A-Mar & Dyl); haven’t seen those names in forever… Also, I think you’re missing tha “O” in “D-S” (D-So), lol… >>> Holy throwback with that A-Mar & Dyl hook!!! OMG, this reminds me of first gettin’ into Louisiana music; OMG, quality, here!!! Guess I found my true #1 song? And, ain’t this tha song with “DeTrane got tha chopper…?” I think so ‘cause I remember tha voice and beat… Anyway, oh, those dayz of me bein’ in my 1^st college’s dorm, when Nu$$ie was still alive, and Louisiana was so innocent for me (before I knew about killings). And yeah, that’s D-So on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through with great shit, from “hoppin’ like a frog,” to his jiggalated voice! Gotta luv tha energy and grimy shit he brings to tha table! Gotta always have Jigga City in ya heart, no matter what day, time, year, etc. it iz! And, here’s you on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some good shit, as well; diggin’ tha shit you bringin’ to tha table like it was ’08 or somethin’! Oh, you put me in such a great mood, now!! LOL, I feel like just reviewin’ for tha hell of it again, like I was 19 again! My Rating: 4.6

21. “Huey Long Ya Ass”

LOL? >>> I like tha phone tone in tha background repeatin’; “rat-tat-tat-tat-tat…!!” Definitely a catchy hook and beat, here, to rap on… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds pretty great; I luv when you rap about drug-related shit! It’s all about dem jiggaz! I always wonder if I’ll eva swallow one? It’ll prolly be a long while from now; who knows… Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, here, too; gotta dig what you bringin’ to tha table!! My Rating: 4.5

22. “Lost In The Game” feat. Mista Matt

>>> Of course, tha 1^st eva time I heard X-Fyle on tha beat (a decade ago, no less); “Y’all Heard Of Me” beat… Tha hook from you sounds good, here; gotta feel it. Tha 1^st verse from you’s definitely dope with tha “X” and “blowin’ on tha dro;” would luv to do dat shit witchu, one day! Hope I ain’t pushin’ thangz off too much; I can’t help it… LOL, Trane: “I’ll haunt you like a thug;” fa’real!! Yeah, I can see your negative feelings toward tha “cops” and shit. More on dat if you wanna inbox me… Hearin’ Matt on tha 2^nd verse and it sounds okay, here… LOL @ “take her to tha bathroom and hit her on tha sink;” wonder if he got that in him, now? I mean, I hang, smoke, and get high wit a 47-year-old chick, so y’all still got time! Think, DeTrane: You’re 16 ½ years younger!! That’s, like, two decades difference; always feel young and ready ta do anything!! My Rating: 3.9

Overall: I thought this was fun reviewin’ this! Really felt all your stories and it was like a whole decade worth of tracks, here; can’t believe we’re on my 8^th year of my Louisiana connection! I feel like I should do some more reviewz, which I gon do! I have a few more to get to, but I feel like I wanna get back into doin’ this more… However, a demon’s about to cross: Next Thursday already gon be a full year since B-Real blocked me from online (February 5^th). It literally was, like, tha death of Louisiana to me. However, I’m just praying and hoping that he’ll wake up and we can restore everything. With a record label behind me and now, an upcoming NYC publication tryna get a hold of him, there could be a chance! I’m just thinkin’ positive but for now, my true passion’s still confused, heartbroken, and up in tha air… Anyway, keep up tha great work and not-backstabbing collaborations!

Gotta stay motivated throughout tha WHOLE DAY here… I’m down ta tha last nine dayz of vacation (on Long Island, NY)! Here goes my 1st review for today and for tha month: DeTrane “Jigg City Radio Vol. 5 (Lil’ Yella Edition)”!! DEFINITELY gon look forward ta dis and this prolly gon be similar to “Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 3: Point Of No Return,” when N.O. rapper 1st Degree had most of tha songs on tha mixtape. Start Time: 10:56 AM | End Time: 11:54 AM


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.

01. DeTrane “Intro”
>>> Thanx 4 tha info! My Rating: N/A


02. Lil’ Yella Feat. Delwin The Krazyman “Like Me”
Lookin’ forward ta all tha new jointz here as well as err-thang else!! >>> Tha beat sounds real, real good (like dat Gutta dude dat would produce fa B-Raw) but I dunno about startin’ off wit all tha Nu$$ie shit… Tha hook’s DEFINITELY HOTNESS here; catchy-ass Yella!! Speakin’ of Yella, here he iz on tha 1st verse, doin’ his thang!! One thang I REALLY like wit tha “Jigg City Radio” CDs iz dat it keeps dat Baton Rouge sound at ALL times!! Good, consistent Yella holdin’ thangz down on tha 1st verse and now, tha 2nd verse sounds like it’s strictly for tha Jigg City streetz! Fuck “tha DJs dat won’t play his song;” good thing fa me wit gettin’ peeps on tha radio instantly! For Delwin on tha 3rd verse, when I hear tha verse itself start off wit a Nu$$ie quote, I feel like skippin’ it… SMH, I thought tha verse was gonna end wit, “Nu$$ie!!!,” but it ended wit “Delwin” (period, not three exclamation points, smh). My Rating: 4.6


03. Lil’ Yella “Live Twice”
You know what it iz wit Young Hits on tha track! DEFINITELY hella catchy again!!! This sounds betta than tha last song here and he doin’ it!! REAL HOT beat here wit Yella spittin’ some REAL TIGHT shit here in tha 1st verse; gutta to tha fullest!! Soundin’ like it’s for tha Baton Rouge streetz here on tha 2nd verse, since Yella “got” buku shit to tha fullest! His “dope money” be stackin’ high!! Glad for tha “Young Hits” and “D-So” shout outs at tha end! My Current Rating: 4.7


04. Lil’ Yella Feat. D-So “2 Step”
Let’s hear what dis iz… >>> Anotha Young Hits track? Why do these producers have to have different sides to them? Gets annoyin’ at times… Too quiet of a song afta tha previous songs… At least tha lyrics are on a Baton Rouge level on tha 1st verse but this hook’s way too soft fa Yella… LOL, tha song iz soft but there’s all “traphouse” shit in tha 2nd verse? Weird-ass mix but I don’t mind what comes outta Yella’s mouth on tha mic… LOL, no D-So source on tha feature? Interestin’ feature from him… My Rating: 3.6


05. Lil’ Yella Feat. Young Slimm & City Boy “Baddest Body”
Tell me anotha Young Hits beat… >>> ROFL, yup!! Interestin’ collab here and tha hook’s real catchy; likin’ this energetic side when it comes ta achievin’ tha “baddest body.” Here’s tha 1st verse from Yella and he’ll “kick it like a Soccer game,” lol! ROFL @ tha 2nd verse! I LUV when I hear “titties” in raps!! Dat Slimm dude did his thang fa dis shit right chea!! Here’s tha 3rd verse and City Boy’s all about his “Buffy;” everyone’s sayin’ dat name all of a sudden… LOL @ all tha “sippin’ on Daiquiris” shit! My Rating: 4.4


06. Lil’ Yella Feat. Young Hits “Blow ‘Em Down”
Tight shit here and I’m glad it’s here! Didn’t realize Young Hits rapped, lol? Also made tha track too… Tha hook sounds tight; luv tha vibe here!!! Tha title sounds good too; interestin’ shit here!! Here’s tha 1st verse here, shoutin’ you out, Trane! Good job collaboratin’ here!! I look forward ta hearin’ tha rest of tha song!! Sounds like someone different on tha 2nd verse here; good shit to tha fullest!! Lil’ Yella’s on tha 3rd verse here!! He keeps it gutta!! You know how dem 225 white boyz be!! Nice, quick lil’ Jigg City hood verse there!! My Current Rating: 4.4


07. Lil’ Yella “N Da Club”
Let’s hear some mo gr8 music!! >>> No “Young Hits” beat tag this time, lol? LOL… Tha hook’s DEFINITELY GR8 once again!! Wit all this shit goin’ on, didn’t realize dat there was a feature on tha 3rd verse; can’t exactly ID who it iz? Hope they say their name; they’re doin’ their thang! My Rating: 4.2


½time: Doin’ tha damn thang here, DeTrane!! Props ta havin’ a FULL Yella edition!! Gotta luv err-body contributin’ on tha beats and features, ya dig!! Dat resulted in a 4.3 average CD rating so far!!


08. Lil’ Yella Feat. Sam I Am “Rollin’ Wit Da Bass Up”
Likin’ dis title and feature!! Plus, a new known producer by tha name of Z-Man on tha beat here so let’s see what dis really ‘bout!! >>> Tha beat’s good; glad we have mo producers dat rep fa BR!! Tha hook’s cool; always acceptable when it’s Yella on tha hook! He even on tha 1st verse, “seein’ 3D,” lol. Cool dat Sam I Am’s in tha background too at tha same time. I like how I hear those Beat Flippa-type beat sounds durin’ tha 2nd ½ of tha hook! Tha 2nd verse’s cool; feelin’ how tha beat sounds from bars 5-8!! Ooh, tha Beat Flippaish sounds are throughout Sam I Am’s verse on tha 3rd verse; MEGA combo at its finest!!! He doin’ his thang, of course, on tha verse; can NEVA complain!!! My Rating: 4.5
EDIT: Fixin’ tha “with” and “the” to “wit” and “da” since tha remix says dat.


09. Lil’ Yella “Swaggered Out”
Not sure of dis title so let’s see… >>> Wow, MUCH BETTA than what I expected, lol!! I feel tha same anticipation from when I heard tha beat dat sounded like Gutta!! This iz a new producer (couldn’t recognize their name) and tha hook’s real tight wit this gutta-ass street-soundin’ beat!! Nice job wit tha 1st verse wit his consistent-ass and even down ta tha 2nd verse; NON-STOP HOT SHIT!!! My Rating: 4.6


10. Lil’ Yella Feat. Supa “Swaggered Out (Remix)”
>>> Classic DeTrane tag here in tha intro!! Brings back tha GR8 times of ’08 fa me!! Interestin’ ta hear a remix here, ya dig! Tha hook and beat’s REALLY on point still and tha 1st verse’s DEFINITELY consistent wit Yella on it, showin’ off, lol! Supa’s on tha 2nd verse and at tha time, it was Down Badistic (I’m two months behind wit this review so it’s still a Down Bad moment) but it’s still REAL GR8 ‘cause Supa was my favorite member of Down Bad! My Rating: 4.6


11. Lil’ Yella Feat. Sam I Am & Max Minelli “Rollin’ Wit Da Bass Up (Remix)”
Ooh, anotha remix here! >>> Still sounds gr8 and this iz gr8 dat Max Minelli joined tha team here!! Sounds betta this time and Yella’s soundin’ good on tha 1st verse! Tha 2nd verse iz dat crazy-ass Sam I Am, lol! He really showin’ his ass off in tha streetz here; DEFINITELY sounds betta on his verse too fa some reason!! Max’s on tha 3rd verse and he’s got tha hood on lock when it comes ta what satisfies you, ya dig! Definitely good ta hear him join dis track! My Rating: 4.6


12. Lil’ Yella “World Of Struggle”
Let’s see… >>> A Guss beat this time; not sure what gon turn out here… Quality sounds a lil’ weird or low… Okay, this iz listenable; cool-soundin’ beat and Yella’s good on tha hook! Tha 1st verse has Yella spittin’ some real shit; of course, if someone doesn’t feel it, it’s DEFINITELY a “fuck you” in their face! Tha 2nd verse’s comin’ through wit some mo hot shit fa tha listeners! My Rating: 4.0


13. DeTrane Feat. B-Raw & Lil’ Yella “Dumb, Dumb”
LOL, afta 11 songs in a row, a different startin’ artist here; dat must be a record! Radio edited it so lemme review it now… >>> Tha beat start sounds cool wit a near-soundin’ Bounce rhythm and lol @ tha outta-nowhere hook from you, Trane! I almost wrote, “Trayne,” at first ‘cause I’m used ta typin’ his name in reviewz, lol. Anyway, you REALLY got shit everywhere, DeTrane! ALWAYS keepin’ tha hood and your peeps happy as well as tha catchy rappin’! Here’s tha 2nd verse and it’s tha gutta side from B-Raw; good shit! I like his “he don’t believe in prayer” part as well as his man-made echoin’ “shiiid, shiiid,” lol! Yella’s on tha 3rd verse and it’s family here!! He makin’ tha track nice since he on dis track wit y’all! My Current Rating: 4.7


14. Lil’ Yella Feat. Lil’ Boosie “Chains”
I always spelt it wit a “z” for some reason but it’s acceptable wit an “s,” lol. Tha real catchy sounds of Yella; it was one of tha Yella songs I heard (might’ve been 1st solo). Good shit wit Yella representin’ wit all his clever “chains” here and representin’ all tha way wit his catchy-ass style! From tha hook to tha 1st verse, it’s all catchiness at its finest!! Boosie sounds good on tha 2nd verse wit how he’s showin’ Yella luv to tha fullest. He sounds kinda calm on tha verse though, less energetic, lol. Classic “Nu$ie Alive”-type music for me so I’m glad it’s a part of tha family here! My Current Rating: 4.7


15. Lil’ Yella Feat. Lil’ Boonie “Think It’s A Game”
LOL, didn’t realize dis was tha last joint… No “Dope Money,” lol? How’s Lil’ Boonie’s situation wit jail? I know it has been a long-ass time but if he’s still locked up, I’d luv ta write him… >>> Anticipatin’ beat start here! Tha hook’s remindin’ me of you, DeTrane, wit how you came through on your song wit tha hook, lol. Only this iz on tha gangsta tip! Boonie’s on tha 1st verse and it’s pretty gutta/street to tha fullest! Gotta luv tha random “bruh” outta nowhere, lol. This iz dat serious street music right here fa anybody’s streetz, ya dig!! Here’s Yella on tha 2nd verse and he’s “Coogi’d” to tha fullest wit his “jeans,” lol! ROFL @ tha “bowlin’ ball/nuts” part, lol! I guess Boonie’s still locked up accordin’ to tha “free Lil’ Boonie, bruh” part; I wanna write him! My Rating: 4.6


Overall: VERY GOOD shit right chea!! Of course, COMPLETELY CONSISTENT when it’s mostly Yella, ya dig! Tha dude who always sounded catchy iz all ova this CD and now, has tha chance ta shine, consistently! A lotta tha top ratings might look tha same; it’s prolly ‘cause tha music was just really consistent ta me and iz mainly just Yella.

Review #576: City Boy "My Tyme 2 Shyne"

Reviewed on 7.22.2010 (Review #576)


Goin’ for Review #9 fa today!! It’s City Boy, outta dat JazzyFam Records clique, and his “My Tyme 2 Shyne” demo disc; lookin’ forward!! Start Time: 11:03 PM | End Time: 11:26 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) so 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. “Dumb Wittit” Feat. Big Josh
LOL @ “wittit;” “dumb” shit! Let’s hear what you got ta spit on dis shit right chea! >>> What’s wit tha 11 seconds of silence in tha beginning? Anyway, you sound like you doin’ ya thang here on tha hook! Tha 1st verse sounds like some typical party shit wit a lil’ bit of a laidback flow… LOL @ tha random gangsta shit in tha 2nd verse; you really dat rough? Must be pretty hard ta be in a situation where you gotta get tha “40” out on someone… LOL, who’s on tha 3rd? Oh, “Big Josh,” huh (“on tha beat” too)? Too bad he hasn’t mailed me any music; I wanna get y’all on tha radio… Okay verse from him but I feel more distracted without CDs… My Rating: 4.3


02. “Club Shut Down” Feat. Da Taliban & Lil’ Kevin
Now, tha features are listed, lol? >>> Ooh, hot beat and I like tha Slim Thug sample on tha hook! I like how you’re comin’ through on tha 1st verse; good shit from you here, doin’ ya thang! Let’s hear dis 2nd verse… Tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse sounds like someone young…; pretty good… Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse sounds more gangsta here wit a more darker voice, lol. Tha 3rd verse’s hot too!! Funny that there’s all this typical shit too; does everyone live tha same life, LMAO? What happened? It ended quickly? My Rating: 4.6


03. “He Say, She Say (Remix)” Feat. Bro-Bro & Lil’ Handy
Looks like a familiar title; let’s see dis… >>> Oh, what, a familiar beat? I heard Yung Yola team up wit J.R. on his “He Da Truth” joint on dis beat, lol… Sounds cool here on tha 1st verse! “Finish him… like Mortal Kombat;” tight-ass shit!! Good shit from Bro-Bro; glad he appeared on this! Sounds like Lil’ Handy’s on tha hook? Dat’s a tight-ass hook wit a gr8 sample! Tha 2nd verse sounds like there’s a lotta motion goin’ on here wit you; you can’t stay still, lol! My Rating: 4.5


½time: VERY GOOD shit right chea!! A NICE 4.5 average CD rating right chea!!!


04. “I Go Hard” Feat. Da Taliban
Must be good… >>> WTF?!? “Party Like A Rockstar” beat? Why can’t ’07 just be FORGOTTEN about?!? What happened to tha original beats?!? At least this iz way more normal than a bunch of tha otha shit I heard earlier today/yesterday! Tha hook sounds good and tha 1st verse’s pretty good… Tha 2nd verse must be Da Taliban, doin’ his thang! LOL, an “erection” start to tha 3rd verse, lol? Not bad; kinda short on tha verse but it’s aight… My Rating: 3.6


05. “I Miss You” Feat. Bro-Bro, Kool Aid & Tyree Neal
Dat name, Tyree; only saw it once when ‘round February 8, 2008, I encountered this dude in my History class in tha lunch room at my 1st college… >>> Yea, not exactly my kinda song; a Pimp C tribute but not for me… ROFL @ tha “Plies” quote in tha 2nd verse… Sounds like a “tribute to Lil’ Handy” too? Good lil’ thought although when I hear, “I keep a picture of you whereva I go,” I can’t picture anotha dude keepin’ anotha dude’s picture ‘cause everyone acts weird when I try to be cool wit people so it’s weird ta see someone else actin’ nearly tha same… My Rating: 2.1


06. “Dat Boy”
Last joint? >>> Good start here! Ooh, sounds catchy wit tha title and tha hook! Tha 1st verse sounds real cool; this DEFINITELY has ta be single material here!! Always feelin’ good to tha fullest! Tha 2nd verse sounds good and you even a “pill poppa” too. “’07, I’m in tha mix?” This iz that old? Anyway, good 2nd verse and 3rd verse; definitely soundin’ good on dis! My Rating: 4.5


Overall: Good lil’ demo disc from you! Hope to get more from tha JazzyFam clique! Keep doin’ ya thang!

Review #397: DeTrane "Jigg City Radio Vol. 4 (Duffy Edition)"

Reviewed on 2.13.2010 (Review #397)




We got ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog here. ‘Bout ta do a HUGE, ANTICIPATIN’ review for my boy DeTrane!! Haven’t reviewed a “Jigg City Radio” mixtape since March 17, 2008; talk about a long time! Those times are classic and now, we finna make this a classic (and these times)!! And damn, February 24’ll mark two years since I discovered you, ya dig! So now, let’s get into it! Here goes my review for DeTrane “Jigg City Radio Vol. 4 (Duffy Edition)”!!! I heard there’s some surprises on here!! I didn’t look at tha tracklisting but I peeked at tha e-mail of some of tha people that are featured on here! Also, tune into my radio show tonight for tha R.I.P. Nu$$ie Tribute Show from 5-7 PM (Louisiana time)!! Start Time: 10:19 AM | End Time: 12:38 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!

Also: Before I start tha review, I just wanted ta note dat I don’t have beef wit ANYONE!! I don’t believe in it and I don’t cause drama!! So therefore, I will review anybody, no matter WHO they are!! But, for those that had a problem wit me in tha past, if you want to continue wit me, you would need ta mail me a hard copy of your CD and for videos, nothin’s free anymore!


01. DJ Earl Intro
LOL, it’s funny not seein’ tha “Ya Boy” in his name, lol. I guess I just kept thinkin’ he was “Ya Boy Earl.” This should DEFINITELY be interestin’ for an intro!! >>> LOL, it’s from tha phone! Just like I made my check-in on this mixtape via phone (more on dat later)! Hope mine came out GR8! I recorded mine off a voice recorder for back-up anyway. But yea, DEFINITELY glad ta have an energetic intro here!! My Rating: N/A


02. B-Raw “Shoutout”
Looks like a “shoutout” but based off tha 2:00 length, it looks like a song, lol. I’m bound ta hear buku comebacks on this mixtape so I’m DEFINITELY in tha mood right now!!!!! >>> He sounds like he has a laid back voice here for this track; it sounds gr8 once again. I realized dat tha beat iz Juvenile “Gotta Get It” but it sounds like it fits tha Louisiana vibe! Glad he gave a shout out ta “Gardere Lane.” This iz like a freestyle ‘cause tha lyrics are really consistent!! He did tha damn thang on this beat and shout out ta tha people “on dem chewies!!” He’s raw wit tha “muthafuckin’ face” part!! My Rating: 4.5


03. Quikkdraw Drop
I think he spells his name wit two “k’s.” He tol’ me he was on this mixtape so you KNOW I’m DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta hearin’ him!!! >>> He sounds gr8 on this; glad I’m fuckin’ wit him on this shit too, ya dig!! Hope he has a song on here too!! My Rating: N/A


04. J Buc Feat. Quikkdraw & DJ B-Real “Extravagant”
Damn, we BOTH gettin’ our e-mails BLASTIN’, lol!! J Buc had hit me up and I had gotten his numba. I then talked to his manager and his manager sent me three songs. One of them was this song (which he said iz labeled as J Buc Feat. Quikkdraw & DJ B-Real and I see Quikkdraw labeled it on this CD for you [as it looks like you just threw tha mp3 on tha CD but spelled tha title “Extravagent,” which dat “e” iz an “a” really]). I didn’t get ta hear tha whole thing but I was thinkin’ of REALLY, REALLY thinkin’ ‘bout makin’ dis song HUGE!!! DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta hearin’ tha whole thing right now!!! >>> REAL HOT beat from J Buc; he reminds me of tha next BluBlack on tha beats!! You KNOW you tha 1st one ta expose it on a mixtape, Trane!! Tha hook DEFINITELY tight!! Tha 1st ½ of it sounds hella tight and you KNOW tha 2nd ½ iz official wit tha title repeatin’!!! Even comin’ down ta tha rappin’: Tha 1st verse doin’ tha damn thang here!! It ain’t NOTHIN’ like Jigga City!!! Hopefully comin’ soon: My own TV show wit my gurl agent at my college!! From Jigg City 2 Cali wit tha music and tha culture!! Hope it works out!! Tha 2nd verse DEFINITELY on its shit; REAL TIGHT wit tha “extravagant” parts!! You know I don’t like hearin’ tha “Turn My Swag On” flow/lyrics at one point; that shit LIVES in ’09 ONLY!! LOL @ DJ B-Real teamin’ up on this; NICE combo!! A lil’ bit of Savage in tha voice almost on this track for tha 3rd verse! Nice job wit tha verse here, ya dig!! Lookin’ like a HUGE song fa tha future!! REALLY lookin’ forward ta addin’ it on my radio show February 20!! My Rating: 4.9


05. B-Raw Duffy Drop
LOL. It might’ve made sense if this was before his song… Then again, who knows if tha next song iz his too… >>> I have a feelin’ what tha next song’ll be. But yea, DEFINITELY a “duffy drop” here from him! My Rating: N/A


06. B-Raw Feat. K.Bank$, Lil’ Klapp & Young Ready “Dumb, Dumb, Duffy”
Now, it looks like B-Raw’s labeling on tha track info, lol. Was e-mailed this song but neva got tha chance ta hear it. It’s now time so let’s see what’s up here!! >>> I thought this was a Q-Red beat (‘cause I YouTube’d Q-Red and one of their songs came up) but it’s a Vybe beat; DEFINITELY a nice mix here!! Tha hook DEFINITELY sounds hot (as usual) and this iz tha tight music I feel when I look fa Baton Rouge music!!! Tha 1st verse REAL HOT from B-Raw here!! Gotta luv tha “muthafuckin’” parts; sounds like he has tha voice ta deliver dat word, lol. Tha 2nd verse sounds off ta a pretty good start from K.Bank$ although it doesn’t really compare ta B-Raw’s verse. Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse from Lil’ Klapp iz betta; much improved from when I heard him last year! And even Ready on this makes it a FULL combo!! Tha beginning of his verse was a lil’ for tha females but you KNOW it only takes a few lines afta dat ta get REALLY “duffy” here!! Gr8 job from Ready wit his hot shit!! He should put this on his next mixtape!! My Rating: 5.0


07. J-Dirty (Down Bad) Intro
LOL, who tha hell will be next on this CD? Glad there’s buku surprises ALREADY!!! >>> Yea, “Down Bad runs BR!” He sounded a lil’ laid back here on tha talkin’; thought he’d be more energetic ‘cause of how he comes through sometimes. My Rating: N/A


08. Down Bad Feat. Louisiana Ca$h & Derty “Loc’s On”
Took a snippet at dis but again, this’ll be an official 1st listen. >>> I heard a completely different “Loc’s On” song from rappers Dog & Tech; that one iz betta so far than this. But, this iz pretty catchy at tha same time. Tha hook pretty catchy fa everyone so it’ll be a worldwide plus, lol. Louisiana Ca$h had an above average 1st verse here. What will we have next? Jack Da Rippa here on tha 2nd verse; LMAO @ his 2010 “So Whopped” rendition! Definitely felt dat line and he did a pretty good job on his verse; you KNOW he hella catchy!! Derty’s left so let’s see what he’ll have… ROFL, it’s Terror!! Nice job from him deliverin’ his raps! JR comes through on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse; nice and lol @ tha “Wipe Me Down” part (again, still hearin’ dat quote). This iz different… there were three parts to tha verse ‘cause Derty snuck in on tha 3rd 1/3 of tha 3rd verse. Again, where’s tha energy? I thought he’d come through like a beast or somethin’, lol. An okay job from him… My Rating: 4.2


09. Young Ready Intro
SHIT YEA!!! I guess we got a Ready song comin’ up next!!! Lookin’ forward ta him checkin’ in on your mixtape!! >>> I have a feelin’ based off of what was said dat “Duffy”’ll be tha next song on here. He needs ta do a drop fa my radio show! You need ta tell Ready ta do a drop for my radio show! Dat would be BIG from one of my favorite artists!!! My Rating: N/A


10. Young Ready Feat. Zion City Juice “Duffy”
LOL, you put tha clean version on here; I got a dirty version… Plus, tha ID a lil’ fucked: Zion City Juice should be on tha feature and it’s just “Duffy,” not “Go Duffey” (spelled wrong). Glad Q-Red produced this ‘cause he like tha best producer in Baton Rouge (winner of my Louisiana Producer Of Tha Year for 2009)!!! When you hear tha hook, ESPECIALLY wit tha repetitiveness of tha title in tha 4th ¼ of tha hook, you can TELL it can be fast in any way!! DEFINITELY a nice combination of tha hook from Ready & Juice!! Tha 1st verse from Ready sounds pretty good here; he does it NICE, whether it’s a club banga or for tha streetz!! Nice shit here and Juice was GR8 enough for tha 2nd verse… Deliverin’ all kinds of styles here from for tha hoes to dat gangsta shit to tha club shit to tha (sadly) “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” shit. Pretty good 2nd verse right there overall though. I like how Ready says, “lucky,” in tha 3rd verse as it rhymed wit tha title. You did a nice job on tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse, Ready. GLAD he had Juice be on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse too!! Juice sounds betta on this verse than tha 2nd verse since he added that gay Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em dance in tha verse… My Current Rating: 4.7


11. Delwin The Krazyman Feat. Mouse & T Mck “Swiggin’ (Remix)”
I knew what this was when I saw it. But, tha original had Ready on it; this looks like a remix. *Adds “(Remix)” to tha ID* I definitely liked tha original so you KNOW da Krazyman gon get krazy again!!! >>> Even Delwin did a lil’ check-in in tha beginning. I believe it’s also featurin’ T Mck (accordin’ ta Delwin’s bulletins he posts) ‘cause T Mck iz on tha intro ta this. Nice job from T Mck on tha intro wit how you really be “swiggin’!” Tha beginning sounds gr8; I don’t know about hearin’ all tha “Nu$$ie” shit; doesn’t fit in tha song! Tha 1st verse from Delwin iz (of course) hot; nice job wit his rappin’! You KNOW I luv his flow and how he comes through on tha tracks!! Tha hook DEFINITELY hot; I really like tha title and tha “I’m—I’m feelin’ good” shit although that’s from Short Bus Boyz “Loosen Up.” Interestin’ ta have Mouse on this shit; buku “swiggin’” goin’ on here in tha 2nd verse! Not bad from Mouse although he luvs this song! T Mck had a gr8 outro too on this! My Rating: 4.5


12. Beezy Boy Intro
What kinda Beezy iz dis? I’m close wit Beezy Bird (outta G-Lane) but I don’t believe it’ll be him; I’ll be lucky if it iz though!! >>> This a different one; no wonder he just “Beezy.” There was anotha Beezy I knew of but I don’t know if it’s this one. He DEFINITELY has me REAL ANTICIPATED wit his drop here so you KNOW I look forward ta hearin’ his song!!! My Rating: N/A


13. Beezy Boy “Slow Motion”
LOL, did he have tha CAPS LOCK on while typin’ tha ID (it says bEEZY bOY “sLOW mOTION”)? Already, without even hearin’ tha song, I hope ta be cool wit this dude, ya dig!! Let’s hear how this’ll go!! >>> Almost sounds like Wayne in tha beginning wit tha sound. I guess tha prediction of “wantin’ ta be cool wit him” iz a MUST ‘cause he sounds HELLA TIGHT on tha intro here wit tha HOT beat!!! Tha hook DEFINITELY FIYA here, BOTH PARTS!!! Soundin’ like a HELLA RAW 1st verse here wit tha flow, voice and tha rhymes!!! DEFINITE “voodoo” here!!!!! DEFINITELY inta this shit right chea; CRAZY 1st verse/CRAZY SONG!!!!! Keepin’ tha HOT SHIT comin’ along wit tha 2nd verse here; GOTTA get dis shit onta my radio show!!! Damn, only two verses? This joint passed by so quick!! LOL, a DeTrane check-in at tha end, givin’ me info on this Beezy Boy!! Glad ta hear True Blue (howeva you spell it) Records in tha buildin’ fa 2010!! My Rating: 4.9


14. Sam I Am Intro
Anotha dude dat has ta do a drop fa my show! Yet, I hope Big Scoob gave him his award I made for him for havin’ 100+ spins wit me for his “Gone Jigg” collaboration wit Hannibal! It was cool seein’ him on “Thuggin’ It & Lovin’ It” so now, let’s see what we got here! P.S.: I hope ta talk ta him soon; still haven’t talked ta him yet! >>> YEA!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A NEW SINGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What would 225 be without you, DeTrane? These songs would be in tha unknown!! My Rating: N/A


15. Sam I Am “Jawz Locked!”
LOL @ what it says on tha ID: “Jioggggn;” I looked at tha filename and found tha correct spelling. You KNOW I’m always ready for a new Sam I Am joint!! >>> Ooh, a Yung Hits beat here!! DeTrane said it: “This iz a Baton Rouge Music Company exclusive!!” ROFL!!! LUVIN’ IT ALREADY!!! What a CRAZY hook wit yo “jawz locked!!” I feel dat he has an evalastin’ VOICE!!! One of tha BEST voices from Baton Rouge!!! Glad he feelin’ “hella good” (like my gurl Alexia would say) on this shit!! Tha 1st verse has dat FULL FORCED jiggalatin’ feel!!! Gotta luv it ta tha fullest!!! Like Lil’ Boxx, on tha start ta tha 2nd verse, he “can’t stop movin’!” DEFINITELY a REAL HOT 2nd verse here!!! Tha bridge DEFINITELY was REAL HOT wit tha “go hard in tha paint” shit!! There’s a whole minute left; what’ll be left? Oh, I hear tha hook again! DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta makin’ a commercial fa this mixtape!! Gotta give Sam I Am some exposure since I haven’t heard him since his “Still Jiggalatin’” last year! My Rating: 4.9


16. Young Bleed & Lil’ Witness Drop
Talk about REAL TIGHT artists!!! Even Witness iz on this? Shid, you KNOW you gon win Louisiana Compilation CD Of Tha Year for 2010; I can FEEL IT!!! >>> LOL, not Witness but Young Bleed on tha beginning! DEFINITELY cool ta hear him and now, I hear Witness, tellin’ err-body about tha new CD comin’ out soon!! Glad it “features Young Bleed, One-i & MORE!!” My Rating: N/A


½time: VERY, VERY HOT START ta this mixtape!!!!! Tha average CD rating iz HELLA HIGH @ 4.7!!!!! VERY GOOD mix of songs here, ESPECIALLY tha artists!!! I fuckin’ luv ‘em ALL!!! Tha Down Bad song on here iz currently tha least rated but I did like it so you KNOW there’s NOTHIN’ but CONSISTENT/SERIOUS heat on here!!!!! REALLY HOPIN’ tha 2nd ½ goes DUFFY also!!!


17. Lil’ Witness Feat. Young Bleed “Let Me In (Remix)”
Shit… Tha “Young” artist on this iz cut off (it just says “Young” and tha filename doesn’t list it). But, based off tha drop dat was played, I predict dis bein’ Young Bleed on tha collaboration; let’s see if I’m right!! >>> Has ta be; hear him in tha intro!! ANOTHA GR8 COMEBACK!!! He did tha damn thang speakin’ on tha intro wit Witness and this iz DEFINITELY a catchy joint right here!! Witness REALLY, repetitively, DELIVERIN’ DAT HOOK!!! Tha 1st verse REAL, REAL HOT from him!!! If he on a mixtape of yours, you KNOW it gon be A+!!! I like tha “smokin’” part on this mixed wit tha hella fast lyrics!!! We got Bleed on tha 2nd verse; he spittin’ some hood shit here fa err-body in Jigg City!! I’m REAL GLAD I got ta hear some new shit from him; lookin’ forward ta hearin’ mo new shit from him in tha future!! Witness has a lil’ hot outro here wit tha somewhat singin’ flow! My Rating: 4.6


18. T.N.E. “Blow’em Down”
Looks like I gotta check tha filename for tha artist… *Checks* FUCK!! No artist listed!! Hope I can detect ‘em!! >>> Ooh, Yung Hits made tha track!! Oh, I hear Lil’ Yella’s voice randomly! Tha hook sounds tight; luv tha vibe here!!! Tha title sounds good too; interestin’ shit here!! Here’s tha 1st verse here, shoutin’ you out, Trane! Good job collaboratin’ here!! I look forward ta hearin’ tha rest of tha song here!! Sounds like someone different on tha 2nd verse here; good shit to tha fullest!! Wit me not knowin’ tha artists on this joint, it just creates more of a vision in my mind, ya dig! If I wouldn’t’ve heard tha beginning, I wouldn’t’ve realized it was Lil’ Yella on tha 3rd verse!! He keep it gutta!! You know how dem 225 white boyz be!! Nice, quick lil’ Jigg City hood verse there!! I’ll text you right now on who iz on this song. My Rating: 4.4
EDIT: Until further notice, I put “T.N.E.” as tha artist, standin’ for Thug Nation Entertainment.


19. Lil’ Yella Intro
Now he’s here, lol! Will he do a B-Raw and have anotha song immediately on here? >>> “MANE,” you know it goes “dannn” wit Lil’ Yella in tha buildin’!! My Rating: N/A


20. Lil’ Yella “Live Twice”
Yup, too good so there’s a two play here! What does he got ta say wit dis kinda title? >>> LOL, I knew it was gonna be one of those supa producers!! Yung Hits on tha track again; how ‘bout me gettin’ a drop from him too? DEFINITELY hella catchy again!!! This sounds betta than tha last song here and he doin’ it solo!! REAL HOT beat here wit Yella spittin’ some REAL TIGHT shit here in tha 1st verse; gutta to tha fullest!! Soundin’ like it’s for tha Baton Rouge streetz here on tha 2nd verse, since Yella “got” buku shit to tha fullest! His “dope money” be stackin’ high!! Nice shout out ta “Yung Hits” and “D-So” at tha end. What’s up wit tha OJ Da Juiceman “Make Tha Trap Say Aye” “aye” samples at tha end; they fit GR8!! My Rating: 4.7


21. Yung Hits Ad
He advertising wit his “ad” here, lol? I neva heard him talk before so let’s see what he got! >>> I hear tha 225 in his voice; good shit! Glad he holdin’ it down fa Baton Rouge!! Holy shit, he gave out his cell numba!! Shit yea!! If I get tha chance, I should hit him up about this review I’m doin’!! My Rating: N/A


22. City Boy Feat. D-So “Who Gone Ride”
I wonder who this City person iz… Glad D-So’s a part of this!! This should DEFINITELY go through tha roof!! >>> I LUV when I hear tha beginning beat of a song and it has a NICE Baton Rouge sound in tha beginning!!! Good shit here for a start wit tha hook! Sounds like it must be City who has tha 1st verse here, rappin’ ‘bout “Lil’ Boonie;” FREE LIL’ BOONIE!!!!!!!!!! Haven’t heard him since tha “Dope Money” song of Yella, Nu$$ie & Boonie!! Street shit here to tha fullest on tha 1st verse!!! Sounds like he on tha 2nd verse also, “fulla dis blunt smoke;” REAL TIGHT there!! I hear D-So on tha 3rd verse, still luvin’ how he comes through on tracks!! I NEVA get tired of hearin’ my peeps in Baton Rouge!! My Rating: 4.3


23. Fatt Slimm Drop
Don’t know who dis iz… But, I’m DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta hearin’ them!!! >>> Good shit! Hope he has tha next song (which he prolly has)! My Rating: N/A


24. Lil’ Boxx “Stevie Wonder”
ROFL!!! Where’d this come from? LOL @ tha CAPS LOCK ID on his name! This iz a surprise; didn’t expect Boxx!! Will he check in afta this? EQ on tha track and good thing it ain’t slow; lookin’ like a beastin’ beat! Although a lil’ paranoia strike when hearin’ dat it’s a dancin’ song, I have ta say this ain’t that bad… At least it has tha repetitive 2nd ½ of tha hook formula in it! Tha lyrics are good (wit tha “saggin’” parts) so you know this iz what’s up! Nice “buku Coogi” part and tha flow iz pretty good on this too. Tha beat iz definitely bein’ pretty catchy. He sounds like he REALLY absorbed inta this dance here on tha 2nd verse. Oh wait, he just said, “this ain’t no dancin’ song;” I guess I should stop criticizin’ a lil’… I mean, it’s listenable so at least it’s 4.0 for me. I hear tha lyrics in tha hook again and they sound pretty catchy so I’m continuously givin’ this betta feedback. Tha bridge a lil’ cheesy wit all tha title parts… Shout out ta my boy Boxx!! My Current Rating: 4.4


25. T-Lo Feat. Mookie & Sam I Am “I Been”
Shit yea!!! I haven’t talked ta Mookie since like my birthday last year (June 21). I should give him a call ‘cause it was three dayz ago where it was a year since he had wrote me for tha 1st time on me wantin’ ta review his Off Tha Porch (The Lost Album); he had a few nominees on my 2009 Louisiana Awards! Also, when I was postin’ my few commercials I made yesterday ta err-body’s pages, I passed up T-Lo’s and I was like, “I wish I can talk ta him soon;” I wonder if he knows of what I do? Now then, lemme hear how HOT this joint iz!!! >>> Sounds catchy as hell in tha beginning!! Tha beginning wit tha “two step” shit sounds like it follows up tha “Stevie Wonder” shit gr8!! I like tha “power up” shit and I know about tha whole “All Day” / “Uh Oh” thing dat happened. I feel bad dat you gotta feel dat pain but you KNOW you get mo respect from me, ya dig!! Gr8 job wit tha hook and you KNOW T-Lo doin’ such a FUCKIN’ GR8 job (it’s FUCKIN’ GR8 when you reppin’ REAL HARD fa Jigga City) on tha 1st verse!!! Always payin’ attention ta what he spittin’ fa tha city!!! Mookie Blakk on tha 2nd verse but WHY tha “Turn My Swag On” shit again? Dat’s two times on this mixtape and three times wit Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em bein’ quoted! Anyway, tha verse DEFINITELY was cool as hell ‘cause Mookie has one of tha coolest voices in Baton Rouge!! And of course, ta mix wit tight and cool, we got GRIMY on tha 3rd verse from Sam I Am!!! Who tha hell would hate on Sam I Am? He WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GR8888888888888888888!!!!!! Str8 raw shit spit from him, ya dig!!! My Rating: 4.7


26. D-So Feat. Mookie “How I’m Feeling Right Now”
Good thing it says tha artist/title in tha filename! This must’ve been ripped from a CD ‘cause it says: Unknown Artist “Track 1” on tha mp3 info. But, it’s D-So and you KNOW this mixtape STILL doin’ tha damn thang!! Where are tha drops, lol? >>> YUNG HITS MADE THA TRACK!!! Glad he did ANOTHA beat on this mixtape!! DEFINITELY feelin’ tha hook here!! I like tha pauses between some of tha words in tha flow (e.g., “rims spinnin’, I’m winnin’)!! Luv how tha “’bauds fresh out tha cleaner!” My boy D-So doin’ tha damn thang to tha fullest!! Definitely felt tha 1st verse and I’m STILL feelin’ dat hook!!! Tha 2nd verse sounds like I’d DEFINITELY have a GR8 time wit D-So in tha club in tha future!! He can pull off a gr8 time wit people!! ROFL @ tha random feature!!! OMG, it’s Mookie again!!! DEFINITELY glad ta hear his catchy/cool-ass voice on tha 3rd verse!!!!! A two-fuckin’-play again!!! I HOPE y’all make music FA’EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Same thing wit teamin’ up wit producers like Yung Hits!!!!!!!!! My Rating: 4.6


27. Delwin The Krazyman “Yaaaaahhhh (Part 2)”
ROFL, what’s this? Delwin’s here again and wit a shorter length this time of 2:50, I gon try and get real focused for it!! >>> Nice beat start here; liked tha first few seconds! I don’t agree wit tha start wit tha Nu$$ie quote; he should just rest in peace or as my grandma says, “Aren’t they like outta site, outta mind by now?” [referrin’ ta people who ain’t alive anymore] I realized all tha “yeah” shit in tha song must be an updated version of “Yeah!” from Nu$$ie & Skull Duggery. Too many quotes in this song; heard a bunch of Nu$$ie quotes in here although I liked tha Young Ready “Let’s Get It Up There” quote! Unlike tha rest of tha hook, tha last hook (replacin’ “in this bitch” wit “…again”) sounded REAL hot though!! Hate ta see this CD not have all 4.0 ratings… My Rating: 3.4


28. B-Raw Drop 2
LOL, here he iz once again… >>> Tell me he has anotha song comin’ up, lol? I like this drop though! Nothin’s betta than representin’ fa Baton Rouge!!!!! My Rating: N/A


29. B-Raw “Wow”
Tha smallest ID on this CD so far, lol (it’s not even 12 characters). Well, wit two gr8 songs on here, will this be tha 3rd one? >>> Ooh, one of my boyz outta tha 985 on tha track! Lil’ Tez did this track right chea! Off sum “dumb” fluid here wit all tha “dumb” shit, lol! Sounds hella catchy once again; lol @ tha “wow” part! Luvin’ this long-ass consistency here!! Sounds like I didn’t even hear a 1st verse ‘cause of how consistent it was! I think I’m on tha 2nd verse now? “Wow,” I’m lost (in a good way)! Dependin’ on how much I’m in a mix wit tha rest of tha song, I must say dat it’s just tight and hella catchy! My Rating: 4.6


30. Young Trayne Intro
LOL, you KNOW you can’t have a DeTrane mixtape without someone wit Trayne in their name, lol!! Anotha one of my boyz! I made him a commercial recently and he DEFINITELY knows how much I’m on tha grind!! >>> Good check-in!! I fucks wit my dawg to tha fullest!! My Rating: N/A


31. Young Trayne “Roll Or Get Rolled Over”
You have “rolled” as tha 1st word, which iz wrong; it’s just “roll.” Anyway, last week on my radio show, I had my Superbowl edition (playin’ songs about winnin’ or “rollin’ ova” tha otha team) and this song I played! Glad Mouse did tha beat!! Dat’s HUGE!!! Likin’ that this song iz a lil’ slower and tha hook iz DEFINITELY REAL CATCHY!!! Who wouldn’t “roll wit you??” Tha hook iz tha TRUTH wit tha “you eitha roll wit me, or get rolled ova!” Here we are wit tha 1st verse, on tha pill shit, ya dig!! REALLY luvin’ tha pill raps so you KNOW I’m blessed ta hear this CD right now!! Next thang you gotta do iz mail me a hard copy; belie’ dat!!! REALLY did a REAL NICE job on tha 1st verse; this gon go down as ONE OF THA BEST CDs THIS YEAR; I KNOW IT!!! Here’s tha 2nd verse and like Lil’ Issue & Lil’ Alex, you “ain’t been asleep in 6 dayz;” you REALLY on tha grind!! Soundin’ a lil’ like Savage on tha rappin’ here on tha 2nd verse; y’all both big dudes so you KNOW y’all handle BIG thangz, ya dig! Soundin’ like you really have a HUGE self-esteem and I DEFINITELY agree wit you wit this ‘cause as good as your rhymes are, it’s your self-esteem too, ya dig! Startin’ tha 3rd verse off true: “I’m out chea;” I agree! Yea, this song was all you!! Glad you shouted out those Louisiana peeps (e.g., Max Minelli! Str8 Baton Rouge shit in tha 3rd verse and it’s soundin’ REAL, REAL GR8!! I liked tha train sound at 3:53!! No wonder why I hear that sound… it’s a part of your name, Young Trayne, lol! My Current Rating: 4.7


32. FrankieThaLuckyDog Drop
LMFAO!!! This iz tha **1ST TIME** I’m on a mixtape!!! Nobody eva spells my name correctly (but whether or not you use spaces or not, it’s cool) but it’s okay; as long as you know who I am… I rememba you just randomly hittin’ me up and told me ta record this drop and here it iz!!! We saved tha BEST FA LAST!!! Let’s hear how good it sounds via tha phone; OMG, I’m lol’in’ like crazy before I get inta this!!! >>> Wow, it sounds REAL GR8, phone quality!!! I purposely gave my cell numba out ‘cause I want people ta hit me up!! Tha ending part wit tha “Top of tha word like Kennedy, people eyin’ me wit sensory! Rappin’ like there’s 10 of me, perfectly, wit no penalty!” lines iz from my 2007 single “Who I Am.” I wanted ta show y’all dat I can rap too. Best outro EVA on a CD!!!!! Well, it comes close wit tha Nu$$ie shout out from Jimmy The DJ’s Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2: Ghetto Pass!! My Rating: N/A


Overall: Damn, it’s ova!! I gon cry! I REALLY felt this mixtape to tha fullest!! There was only one song dat didn’t fit but all tha otha songs were REALLY, REALLY tight!!! Tha best newbie was Beezy Boy!!! Hope all y’all hit me up, ya dig!! Keep doin’ tha damn thang, Trane!! Once again, I DEFINITELY ‘preciate you hittin’ me up about tha drop!!! Now, lemme get ready fa my R.I.P. Nu$$ie Tribute Show tonight!
