R.I.P. Video #71: Ed West



Recorded April 26, 2020

Broadcasting from my closet, here in Northeast PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog here, sadly reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana hip-hop community.

Edward James West, Sr., known in tha music business as multiple names, like Edward J. West, Ed, Ed West, Mr. West or Big Ed, passed away from COVID-19 complications on Friday, April 3, 2020; he was only 51 years-old.

West's music career began as a frequent collaborator in tha Louisiana rap business. West was featured on over 20 releases in tha undaground business, keepin' his soul active for tha undaground headz to devour. In May of 1993, West was a Production Coordinator for Hard Head Records, till tha end of 1995. Following up tha label work, in January of 1996, West became tha Vice President for Ruff Era Records, till tha end of 1999. Shifting more to an urban contemporary/gospel sound to kick off tha new millennium, in 2000, West, Dominic Davis & Larry Jones formed Collage III. Shortly after, West became tha owner of Collage III's label, Collage Worldwide Entertainment. In 2001, Collage III released their debut album, Living The Lyrics, on Collage Entertainment. In September of 2006, West became tha owner of Nu-City Construction & in May of 2007, he became tha director of One Vision, One Voice, designing "an innovative program for students to experience the academic discipline, art & business of music, while adding to their repertoire of artistic expression." In 2013, Collage III released another album, Under Construction, courtesy of Collage Worldwide Entertainment. West kept his passion goin' for music until April 3, 2020, when he passed away from Coronavirus complications. If West made it to see July 29th of this year, he woulda turned 52 years-old.

Review #1,840: Cold Blooded "How Cold Am I"

Reviewed on 10.19.2019 (Review #1,840)


Cold Blooded How Cold Am I iz my next review, released in 1999 on One Shot Records! Start Time: 11:41 AM | End Time: 12:42 PM


Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

Tha 2nd verse sounds good also wit tha shit you’re spittin’!

Lemme unreverse it… LOL, it was just “about chu;” why was dat reversed, lol? My Rating: 4.7


13. “Eternal” Feat. FTF & Chelsea
Chelsea’s hoppin’ on wit FTF dis time! Let’s see how GR8 dis iz fa 6:27 and this GR8 title!! >>> Sounds like “comin’ from a struggle” wit tha way tha beat sounds… I dunno about tha beginning so far; I expected betta from Chelsea… It still sounds REAL GUTTA though; I hear anotha Pac sample (which fit good fa dis)! Tha 1st verse was presented gr8 fa dis shit; good job wit all tha content and how it was presented!! Okay, tha hook’s a lil’ betta than tha beginning; I like dat title!! Tha 2nd verse sounds good from one of tha FTF dudes! It’s a good verse… Not much ta say about it but good job for contributin’. Anotha one of tha FTF dudes’s on tha 3rd verse here… Betta content and tha lyrics are delivered real gr8! Now, tha last minute sounds like a slowed down version of one of tha otha songs on here (wit tha “dead-ah”). My Rating: 4.3


14. “Outro”
What do you got ta present? >>> Tha beginning beat sounds like a Total/Mase song sampled, lol? Dat song wasn’t even out then but it looks like this iz turnin’ out ta be a shout out list… You’re spittin’ some shit on here? I didn’t realize you was gon spit… Sounds good how you just shoutin’ people out, rappin’/Bounce style! Thumbs up ta tha shout outs within tha last, like 1:25! I know a bunch of those dudes and I fucks wit them HEAVY (e.g., “Tre-8,” “U.N.L.V.,” “Lokee,” “Quarter Key” and a bunch others)!! My Rating: 4.0


15. Commercial Feat. 211 & Charlie Hanseen
This iz ‘pose ta be a joint fa a “commercial?” >>> Yea, it’s like a commercial, promotin’ some HOT-ASS shit comin’ up!! Since it’s just a commercial, I won’t exactly count it towards a rating; it’s just samples… Good shit, though. I like tha “down in tha Boot” joint at tha end! My Rating: N/A
