Review #1,942: Da Baton Rouge Boyz "The SXSW Mixtape (Hosted by DJ Tremon)"

Reviewed on 7.29.2020 (Review #1,942)


As tha month of July continues ta end, I continue ta keep it movin’ wit everythang I’m tryna accomplish. Here comes my next review: Da Baton Rouge Boyz The SXSW Mixtape (Hosted by DJ Tremon), released in 2017 on Flamed-Up Records & Last Man Production. Da Baton Rouge Boyz consist of Big Flame Thrower & Dolla Bill Da Last Man; let’s get it! Shout out ta Last Man fa holdin’ tha beats down…! Start Time: 12:33 PM | End Time: 1:38 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!

© 2020 Review (Review #1,942) reviewed on 7.29.2020 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Aight”
>>> Sounds good wit Tremon in tha beginning, here… Tha hook got some cool sounds in it; simple & sounds like it’s a long, repetitive hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good wit Big Flame on tha rhymes… Dolla Bill sound good on tha 2nd verse, as well; not much ta say but I enjoy some of dis… Tha beat tha best thang on this track, tho it a lil’ slower for me to fully appreciate… My Rating: 3.7


02. “Where Dey At”
>>> Tha hook sounds nice wit Dolla Bill on it; all about lookin’ fa dem “big fine bitches!” Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Dolla & it sounds good wit how he wants these “bitches;” good shit. Likin’ how tha beat has constant clappin’, right b4 tha 1st verse ends; good shit, Dolla…! Got Flame on tha 2nd verse, here… A lil’ bit of a mix between tha undaground vibe & a mainstream vibe, when it comes ta how he comin’ wit these “bitches;” I digz it… My Rating: 4.0


03. “Jumpin’ Like A Ghost”
>>> Again, I’m diggin’ tha beats Dolla be bringin’ to tha tracks, here; good sounds! Tha hook pretty nice; diggin’ all this “jumpin’!” Hopefully, when all my charges clear, I gotta experience this “jumpin’” effect! Fa now, I gon enjoy y’all, here, wit tha “jumpin’” 1st verse; good shit! I’m diggin’ how Flame comin’ through on tha verse; all about tha “supa” powers! Likin’ how Dolla comin’ through on tha 2nd verse, too; definitely feelin’ tha energy y’all bringin’! Like, while I prepare fa my 3rd album, Autistic Stoner Rap, I can only get fulla dat weed so whomeva I collab wit, they gon have ta show me this “jumpin’” vibe, so I can compete, in tha future! I like how y’all goin’ back & forth, toward tha end; definitely nice energy! My Rating: 4.4


04. “Bend Ova” feat. Level
This gotta be, like, tha 3rd song I know that Level featured on wit a title like dis (tha other two were Lil’ Cali’s, I believe). >>> As far as how this sounds, it’s definitely dope; luv tha repetitive “bend ova” part, on tha hook! Great job, Level; you know what it iz! Got Level on tha 1st verse & he got shit on lock. I feel a lil’ insecure about how his voice sounds a lil’ off, due to an attempt voice effect, smh. Either way, definitely dope; we’ll see if it takes tha crown later, on tha rankings…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse wit Dolla & it sounds dope; likin’ how y’all got tha clubz on lock wit dis one…! Got Flame on tha 3rd verse & he got shit poppin’, here; great contribution, as we “feel dat bone!” My Rating: 4.5


05. “College Drive….Fuck U” (Dolla Bill)
>>> I luv how Dolla sounds nice & high as fuck, in tha beginning, here; definitely nice! Makes me supa-hyped up fa my upcomin’ BR trip!! Long intro, tho; how excited should I get…? Afta :51, here comes tha 1st verse; sounds cool. I know what it iz wit tha “Waffle House,” as on my last BR trip, that was tha only food I ate, lol. Definitely feelin’ tha high vibes, here… Oh, lookin’ at tha title closer & yeah, that’s tha “Waffle House” I go to (on “College Drive”), lol…! Oh, tha track changed up, as 1:36 iz remaining on tha track… Likin’ this “fuck u…” part, on tha hook; sounds good. Your verse on tha “Fuck U” part of tha track sounds nice wit tha rhymes/high vibes. It sounds kinda slow but it cool fa me… I would say, if I had to combine tha two tracks’ ratings, it would prolly turn into… My Rating: 4.1


06. “I Be Working”
>>> Sounds a lil’ like a mainstream/non-Louisiana vibe, wit this slower beat ta rap on, fa tha streetz… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds cool; it’s str8… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Flame & it okay; might be a lil’ too generic fa me, tho. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty dope wit Flame talkin’ ‘bout dem pillz, in tha beginning of tha verse; definitely excitin’…! My Rating: 3.2


07. “Cancel Dat”
>>> I feel anticipated afta hearin’ Dolla say, “Say, bruh…;” beat sounds nice wit tha eerie intro, too…! I like how tha hook about cancelin’ a “bitch;” definitely an interestin’/hype-soundin’ hook…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Dolla & it sounds good; drop it like it’s hot, lol… Got mo comin’ from tha BR Boyz wit Flame on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit an okay set of rhymes; I give it props… My Rating: 4.2


08. “Pop It” (Big Flame Thrower)
>>> “You know I made tha beat…,” in tha background? Not a Last Man Production? Hmm… Beat sounds outdated or like it’s from tha late 2000’s, with how it sounds like them old Drumma Boy beatz… Kinda bleh/generic, as far as tha vibe/beat but it ain’t bad, so far… Might be a lil’ long but we’ll see how long I can stay interested… Overall, this kinda seems long but it’s not bad, overall; props fa keepin’ tha energy up, Flame…! My Rating: 3.5


½time: Sounds like this mainly a good lil’ tape, here; a 4.0 ½time rating, currently…! Let’s see if y’all can keep up da energy! Shout out ta Level fa tha best vibe, so far…!


09. “Bobb Ya Head”
>>> Sounds good wit tha Sam I Am sample in tha intro, here, as well as tha Last Man Production productions returnin’…! Tha hook sounds good; I digz tha vibez, of course… Dolla on tha 1st verse, here, comin’ through wit consistent rhymes & a good club vibe, of course…! Got Flame on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through like a cool dude; gotta keep tha coolness up! Flame leadin’ fa tha ‘70s babies in they 40’s, so keep it up, just like Fatt Albert of tha Dirty Boyz! An outro in tha mist of over a minute left; hmm… Okay, we have anotha hook, toward tha end; good shit… My Rating: 4.2


10. “Huh Bruh” (Dolla Bill)
Always luv this saying… >>> Startin’ off nice & only gettin’ betta!! Luvin’ tha hook; always gotta do it “fa [yo] city!” Dat “225!!” Luv how dis a solo track; too bad I ain’t get ta connect witchu, in 2017, when this was released. This woulda had a good time wit me, as that was tha 1st year I was goin’ ta Louisiana…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good, as Dolla, you keep tha consistent vibe of tha 225 lyfe goin’…! Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here & it’s pretty dope; I’m diggin’ what you bringin’, as alwayz…! Gonna be a close one between this & tha Level feature; we’ll see who wins…! My Rating: 4.5


11. “Work Out”
>>> Nice intro from Tremon, here… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty dope; continuous workin’ “out!” Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Dolla & it’s soundin’ good wit his Dog Da Cutthroata/Tech/Lil’ Cal vibe, as far as tha flow & vibe goes…! Hearin’ Flame on tha 2nd verse & I luv how he “energized up;” definitely tha way ta be! Hope he don’t age—neva age!! My Rating: 4.3


12. “Chew’d Out”
! >>> Almost wasn’t thankin’ it was an original production but it iz, of course, by tha one and only, DBDLM! Speakin’ of Dolla, here he iz, on tha 1st verse, comin’ through on this nicely-dropped beat… Tha hook sounds cool; all about bein’ “Chew’d Out!” That’s tha vibe ta have! Can’t wait till my chewin’ debut, one day…! Fa now, let’s keep it goin’ wit Flame on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit his pill contributions; definitely nice…! Keep droppin’ tha knowledge! Lol @ tha “empty stomach” warning, when it comes to dem tabz! As far as my tincture edibles & food edibles go, I rather have them “on an empty stomach,” due to I like when those effects hit, ya herad me? Gotta luv how Dolla comin’ through on tha 3rd verse, strictly in his “Chew’d Out” state of mind, ya heard me? Definitely nice! Title should be “Chew’d Out”, not “Chew’d Dat”, tho? My Rating: 4.5


13. “Big Booty Girls”
>>> Likin’ tha Tremon intro, once again… Wit this club vibe, this sounds less-exciting & more on tha mainstream/generic side, tho. Like, I can see some mainstream rapper droppin’ a wack song, on this beat that doesn’t sound like a Last Man track… Hearin’ tha hook & it str8; I give it props… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight from Flame, here; nothin’ ta say, here… Tha 2nd verse doesn’t really have much ta offer, as well; just a song fa tha wack mainstream rapper, here… My Rating: 3.1


14. “Dance Wit Me” (Dolla Bill)
>>> Likin’ tha undaground beat comin’ back, here…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight but Dolla takin’ tha Level risk wit tha sketched-out vocals… Speakin’ of vocals, it sounds like a scary-soundin’ hook; I’ono about tha singin’… I mean, it can be okay but for tha most part, this track’s soundin’ like it’s goin’ more toward tha scary route than an above-average route… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it aight, once again; still weirded-out wit tha vocals… My Rating: 1.7


15. “Good”
>>> Sounds like a hypnotizin’ hook/beat vibe, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Dolla & it “Good,” I guess, lol? Sounds like an okay vibe fa tha ladies, here… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on from Flame, here & it’s ehh…; startin’ ta sound boring fa me… My Rating: 3.0


16. “Make You Love Me Again” feat. Federro
>>> As soon as I seen tha feature, I instantly thought of Vybe beats & online beats from, like, tha late 2000’s/early 2010’s. With that bein’ said, this hook/slow vibe ain’t really fa me. Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Flame & it ehh…; no comment, basically. Tha rest of this doesn’t need any feedback; next…! My Rating: 1.3


17. “Trust Me” feat. Ar’Jay, Lil’ Cal & Cutta
>>> I don’t really fuck wit tha Ar’Jay singin’ hooks; just not me… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Dolla & it just seems like a sappy version of tha club bangaz, on this tape… Tha 2nd verse sound str8, tho not really on this beat; nice job, Cal… Tha rest of this just drags out; too long of a slow track, especially durin’ these dayz… I sound like a hater wit this one but it just doesn’t fit in my circle… My Rating: 1.1


Overall: It seemed like this was a dope tape, tho some of tha sappy/odd-soundin’ tracks threw tha rating off, down to an average-rated tape rating. Either way, at least there was quite tha quality on this one…! Keep up tha great work, y’all!


Rankings:

17. “Trust Me” feat. Ar’Jay, Lil’ Cal & Cutta 1.1

Review #1,936: Dolla Bill Da Last Man "Good Guy Bad Guy: Reloaded"

Reviewed on 6.29.2020 (Review #1,936)


Now that I’m 32, I’m gonna try & keep up wit some of these current reviewz more. I get continuously sidetracked when I’m tryin’ to complete a bunch of tha shit I need to complete. That’s why, I try & save these reviewz for tha end of tha month… With that bein’ said, here comes my 1st of four reviewz: Dolla Bill Da Last Man Good Guy Bad Guy: Reloaded, courtesy of Last Man Production! I know dude from tha dayz of producin’ fa Dog Da Cutthroata & Tech, as far back as ’09. Now, here comes this new release from my guy…! Start Time: 12:49 PM | End Time: 1:22 PM

© 2020 Review (Review #1,936) reviewed on 6.29.2020 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “420”
! >>> Beat aight; thought it was gon be more on a Baton Rouge tip but it okay for an anthem fa tha 420erz… Yeah, “that weed’ll make you stress-free in every way;” agreed! Likin’ how tha hook sounds wit tha hook; definitely feelin’ tha vibe! Speakin’ of “we gon shmoke like 4/20,” I was just thinkin’ ‘bout dat wit tryna get legendary Skull Duggrey up by me: “We gon shmoke like 4/20;” buku weed!! Can’t wait!! Fa now, hearin’ tha next verse & it sounds dope; I luv hotboxin’ “tha car,” ya dig? I’m likin’ how tha beat be soundin’; definitely nice! As far as it “legal in some places,” it “legal” fa me ‘cause of my Asperger’s syndrome, lower back pain & anxiety; I get it in!! My Rating: 4.3 (I know, it’s not a 4.2(0), lol…)


02. “Close 2 U”
>>> Not bad wit tha beat, here; kinda sounds like some throwback music from tha northeast? Sounds good wit tha 1st verse & how it’s a day in tha life of hangin’ wit da Dolla Bill; good shit… Tha hook a lil’ bleh fa me; attempted singin’? I’ono… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse & it str8; nothin’ much I can say ‘bout it… My Rating: 3.4


03. “Do It Dumb” feat. WNC Pooh
This oughta be 100% Baton Rouge? >>> Glad it iz, for tha start; can’t wait ta hear dis…! Don’t thank I know this WNC dude? Should be excitin’…! Yeah, totally feelin’ tha energy in tha hook & beat; 100!! 1,000!! Feelin’ what you got on tha 1st verse; luv tha anticipation of “dat pill kickin’ in,” ya dig? Can’t wait ta get inta tha right setting ta have myself a “kickin’ in” moment! Fa now, I be like dat wit my edibles; dat shit be da truth!! Great job wit comin’ through nicely on tha 1st verse, here! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha Pooh dude on tha 2nd verse, here; good shit! Gotta luv tha whole WNC crew; glad they gettin’ a good amount of undaground shine! Got a 3rd verse from you, here, comin’ through, “fulla weed;” definitely “up wit [you],” here! “Saucy, like a taco;” lol, get it in!! My Rating: 4.7


04. “I Kno Niggas” feat. Heata Boy
>>> Diggin’ tha chokin’ in tha beginning, tho not too sure about tha pitched sample. Either way, I’m likin’ this movie-sampled intro, here… Got you on tha 1st verse, here, soundin’ good wit your slower Baton Rouge flow; I digz it, in a way… Hearin’ tha hook and it aight; just a simple lil’ delivered hook, basically… Got dis Heata Boy on tha 2nd verse, here; feelin’ him betta than you on this track, here. Sounds good wit his voice/flow, as well as him sayin’, “Bruh;” 225 fa lyfe…! Gotta luv tha sounds of tha hood/streetz! “Live by tha G-Code;” nuff said! My Rating: 3.8


05. “Nuthin’ Wrong”
>>> Sounds like it samplin’/remakin’ R. Kelly wit his “Bump N Grind” shit, here… Beat a lil’ too slow fa me & tha voice effect spoils it fa me, like dead milk! No interest fa tha decent verse, due to tha turn-off of tha 1st minute… My Rating: 1.1


½time: Sounds like this release iz shakin’ up, here and there… A few tight jointz, as well as some decent & then, tha trashy auto-tune track… As this gumbo’d-up mix delivers, it’s currently at a 3.5 for tha ½time rating, currently…


06. “Why Dey Hate Me”
>>> Likin’ tha lil’ movie sample in tha beginning, here, as well as tha slow beat fa tha streetz… Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; I kinda dig how you sing-rap this shit… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight; can’t really get inta it too much, due to it sounds like err-body else, here. Tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ betta, here, as far as tha focused flow, here… Feelin’ your boosted energy, as well as how you mention “February,” as tha “short month,” lol. My Rating: 3.5


07. “FYC” feat. YPA
>>> Kickin’ it off wit a beat dat sounds totally fa tha northeast, here; not too sure if I’ll be excited, tho… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you & it aight; rather hear a Baton Rouge beat wit these rhymes, tho. It would bring my interest up a whole lot… Hearin’ tha hook & it aight; don’t really see this as a die-hard anthem, tho… Hearin’ tha YPA dude on tha 2nd verse, here & he got some catchy rhymes. I feel tha black power in our black dudes, str8 out da Rouge; keep it goin’…! “High-water Girbauds,” huh? If so, you already know you gotta keep da Bauds!! My Rating: 3.2


08. “Trust Me” feat. ArJay & Cutta
>>> Even tho I met ArJay on June 22, 2017, I can’t get inta his music/features/singin’. For one, tha voice effect should go & this hook. Then, I’d be able ta focus on appreciatin’ shit. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight; I like tha southern voice/flow but not this beat fa this… Ear-bleedin’ hook; ArJay, just be organic…! Hearin’ tha Cutta dude on tha 2nd verse & I ain’t feelin’ this voice. I would just skip/stop this shit by now but because this review’s short, I’mma just let it play… Regardless, it’s tha lowest rating, no doubt. My Rating: 1.0


09. “Shoot’em Up, Bang Bang”
>>> Gotta stay “bucked up & fucked up,” ya dig? Beat kinda on a weed-high/chill vibe, here, which ain’t bad but I wouldn’t’ve expected it… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight; I think tha gangsta/street vibe don’t 100% match this chill beat? Not that it’s bad; it’s like crossing two different types of vibes, tho. Hearin’ tha hook & tha gangsta vibe gives tha same vibe I got off tha 1st verse, here; I’ll take it… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & this chillsta (lol, made-up word I just made up) vibe aight, once again… My Rating: 3.7


10. “Reminiscing”
>>> Good subject matter fa “Reminiscing ‘bout tha old dayz,” tho too sappy & a lil’ sad fa me? Okay hook, sad-soundin’ beat & an okay/good 1st verse… “We go way back, like Nintendo;” of course, I’m playin’ some Super Nintendo, as we speak… (randomizer)! This not even ½way done, yet? Seems like it gon be too long… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it aight wit these memories; just a boring vibe fa me, tho. A 3rd verse, here & it okay; just not feelin’ this soulful, slow vibe… My Rating: 2.5


Overall: Seems like this review just barely hit tha three-star mark. Only two jointz I felt but one bein’ a Baton Rouge-styled track. A lil’ too many sappy/southernless-soundin’ tracks, which weakened tha average rating. I look at it like this: If I come to Baton Rouge, I expect a Baton Rouge sound. If I want some northeast-soundin’ shit, I’d go to tha northeast (which, sadly, that’s where I’m at). Either way, keep up tha grind; I bought this just ta show you da luv…


Rankings:

10. “Trust Me” feat. ArJay & Cutta 1.0
09. “Nuthin’ Wrong” 1.1
08. “Reminiscing” 2.5
07. “FYC” feat. YPA 3.2
06. “Close 2 U” 3.4
05. “Why Dey Hate Me” 3.5
04. “Shoot’em Up, Bang Bang” 3.7
03. “I Kno Niggas” feat. Heata Boy 3.8
02. “420” 4.3
01. “Do It Dumb” feat. WNC Pooh 4.7

Link To CD: Calliope Var - Ghetto Hero 2.0 - DJ 5150


01. “Hoodstar”
Produced by DJ BlaqNMild (I always forget how to exactly stylize his name). Looks like a familiar title? Looks like it’s in my iTunes already, only this iz featureless. My Current Rating: 4.4


02. “Dopeman”
Blaq N Mild again! >>> I think this iz a newbie fa me; once again, sounds like anotha anthem. My Rating: 4.2


03. “That’s My Bitch”
Blaq N Mild… >>> Kinda like 50/50 for me; not really 100% my style, since it sounds automatic/cocky, but it has a lil’ bit of some good shit goin’ on from Blaq on tha beat… My Rating: 3.7


04. “My Balls & My Word” Feat. Roca B
Production from Street King. Previously heard; why no features listed? This iz featurin’ Roca B! My Current Rating: 4.4


05. “Who Do I Trust”
Blaq on tha beat, again! >>> Good 504, street-type beat from Blaq, here; good shit from you wit tha rhymes, too. Kinda surprised dat you don’t hit me up like crazy, or even have done business wit me, yet; I’m loyal to tha bone! You should be obsessed! My Rating: 4.1


06. “Big Dawg” Feat. Ceto
LOL, a feature listed, this time? Anotha good collaboration, courtesy of Blaq on tha beat, again! My Current Rating: 4.7


07. “Keep It 100”
Looks like an old title, but Blaq N Mild on tha beat… >>> Good; nothin’ much ta say, since it’s like your other anthems… My Rating: 4.2


08. “Uptown” Feat. B.G.
Anotha huge one that’s featured on here; thanx, Blaq, for doin’ a great track!! My Current Rating: 4.6


½time: I think this iz a pretty consistent mixtape, once again; can’t eva stop!! A 4.3-rated mixtape, currently!!!


09. “Mo Money, No Problems”
Street King doin’ his thang on tha beat, still! My Current Rating: 4.2


10. “New Orleans” Feat. Ceto
I believe it’s a.k.a. “Welcome To New Orleans”… My Current Rating: 4.6


11. “Daily Prayer” Feat. Mr. Marcelo & Cutta
? >>> Not really my style; semi-tight, at times, though, and at least there’s good rhymes goin’ on from everyone… Everything sounds like it could be one of tha 2012 big songs in tha streetz, except for some of tha hook’s samp—ah, I’m thinkin’ it’s really catchy, now! My Rating: 4.3


12. “Maintaining” Feat. KIs
Ooh, some drugs on tha feature, lol, as well as a beat from Street King! Oh wait, heard this already! My Current Rating: 4.5


13. “I Gotta Make It”
LOL, goin’ backwards wit tha tracklisting from Ghetto Hero, lol? My Current Rating: 4.4


14. “Superish” Feat. Ceto & Mr. Marcelo
Knew this sounded familiar once tha beat kicked in…; once again, produced by Street King! My Current Rating: 4.3


15. “My Ghetto” Feat. B.G.
Beat Doctor beat! >>> Sounds like regular 504 productions; nothin’ really special… Not too much into tha hook, although it sounds like a good anthem for tha trap starz… Good job from tha both of you guys wit your verses (you, two; B.G., tha 3rd verse), as y’all’re holdin’ it down… My Rating: 3.6


16. “My First Love”
Blaq N Mild beat. >>> Avant/Keke Wyant song in 2011? Not really likin’ that tha hook has a high-pitched, female voice, now; when will producers give dat dumb shit up? Rhymes aight, but nothin’ I’d die for… My Rating: 2.9


17. “I’m On Fire (Bounce Mix)” Feat. Magnolia Shorty
Ooh, I wanna hear it wit Magnolia Shorty on tha feature!! Even, got Blaq on tha beat ta end it off!! >>> Yes, normal, bounce music, finally; sounds consistent and identified, unlike most music today, where tha music world’s an identity crisis: everyone from everywhere has tha same sound!! I hear Magnolia Shorty…; she’s just in tha background? Pretty disappointin’; couldn’t be like Soulja Slim and have, like, words and words in tha hook or somethin’? Nice ending, though; how “on fire” it was, lol! My Rating: 4.5


Overall: A nice lil’ update from tha previous Ghetto Hero, but slightly, in a negative way, since tha average CD rating went down by 1/10. But, good job…

Review #1,080: DJ 5150 "Street Connected"

Reviewed on 10.30.2011 (Review #1,080)




Anotha 5150 review comin’ up right now: DJ 5150 Street Connected. I wonder what’s tha difference between N.O. To The B.R. and this? I know tha Dre dude ain’t a part of it, but I wonder what could be a difference; are you rappin’ on this? Start Time: 2:09 PM | End Time: 2:52 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 already love it. 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. Calliope Var Feat. Ray Vicks, Bambino Gold & Cutta “Street Connected”
Anotha compilation, lol? Yea, what’s tha difference between this CD and tha N.O. To The B.R.s? >>> Sounds good, although that previous Calliope song was better for me, on tha N.O. To The B.R. 7 CD. Likin’ tha content and tha quadruple connection, though! My Rating: 4.2


02. Ray Vicks Feat. Calliope Var, Bambino Gold & Owey “Ballin’ In The Trap”
Looks like tha same lineup? >>> No, not a “money” song; betta not piss me off… Sounds like a good song but I can’t deal wit these lyrics. Matta fact, someone just inboxed me, sayin’ I charge too much for a documentary. I charge $250 for every five minutes of video; that ain’t a lot, WTF? Sick of cheap-ass people!! Why does “tha hoes all on a nigga” have to mix wit a song wit “money”? Doesn’t make sense. My Rating: 3.5


03. Ray Vicks Feat. Lil’ Boosie, Block 125 & Bambino Gold “Ballin’”
BW beat? What’s up wit tha same lineups, once again? >>> Complete novelty feelin’, here; can’t wait ‘til I start seein’ dollaz fa some of this shit! Anyway, good song but it’s not like I’d come close to listenin’ to it…; tha novelty feelin’ would make me feel embarrassed in public. My Rating: 3.7


04. Bambino Gold Feat. Ray Vicks & Block 125 “Class Room”
Mike Will beat. >>> Sounds decent; I like tha content betta than tha beat, surprisingly. Really catchy wit tha content; it could go on and on and on… My Rating: 4.2


05. Maceo Feat. Ray Vicks & Calliope Var “Front Door Swangin’”
Non-Louisiana music? >>> Sounds good, but expect betta from tha production… Nothin’s like tha “Hoe Sit Down”/”Nextel Chirp”/Maceo’s 2005 dayz… Feelin’ tha 2nd verse; a betta voice ta hold this down… Tha 3rd verse fits wit Maceo, here; gotta give it up to tha 2nd verse, though. My Rating: 3.6


06. Maceo Feat. Ray Vicks “Make It Back”
Again wit tha non-Louisiananess? >>> Sounds a lil’ betta wit tha production… An okay song, overall; not really much ta say… My Rating: 3.7


07. Bambino Gold Feat. Calliope Var “Made Nigga Shit”
>>> Anotha decent/good song that I don’t have much to say about; most of these jointz go together wit each other… My Rating: 3.6


08. Calliope Var Feat. Eldorado Red “I’ma Gangsta”
I guess this iz a Calliope Var/Ray Vicks/Bambino Gold-type CD? Should’ve been labeled like that? >>> I knew this sounded familiar; now labeled as a “Gangsta” in tha title, lol. My Current Rating: 4.2


09. Block 125 Feat. Ray Vicks “Certified”
Mike Will & Ear Drummers beat. >>> Again, sounds pretty good and fits wit what’s goin’ on wit this CD… My Rating: 3.8


10. Ray Vicks Feat. Sean Teezy & Block 125 “Flexin’”
Shawty Boy beat; what iz this? >>> “Baton Rouge” feel? No matter tha artist, I feel like I’ve been in a constant zone of 504, all along, lol. But, even though I thought I wasn’t gonna like this (‘cause of tha title), but it’s, once again, just as good as some of tha other shit on here. I think I’m lackin’ feedback ‘cause tha artists aren’t changin’; think they should start switchin’ up? My Rating: 3.5


½time: So far, decent; nothin’ bad, but nothin’ too exciting… Currently, tha CD rating’s at a 3.8.


11. Ville Boyz “What Yo Block Like”
Wit their first CD, they didn’t have tha “Da” in their name; that’s why I usually don’t put it. Anyway, no DJ 5150 on tha main artist, this time, lol? Just heard this, courtesy of you; thanx to you and J Buc! My Current Rating: 4.4


12. Ray Vicks Feat. Calliope Var & Cutta “Presidents”
Back to tha same artists… >>> Kinda a boring song; don’t really have interest in this money shit, as you know… Really, I don’t need ta say anymore about this. My Rating: 3.1


13. Cutta Feat. Ray Vicks “Hustle Game”
>>> Still on tha same tip without change; this iz a lil’ betta, though… “Allergic to that fake shit;” I agree! My Rating: 3.7


15. Maceo Feat. Ray Vicks “Ball”
D.Boy beat. >>> These subjects are still tha same, too. This ain’t tha typical shit I don’t like, but I feel like this CD’s fulla it, wit less-power beats. My Rating: 3.5


16. Darryl J Feat. Big Six, Big Stackssss & P. Money Bags “Grams Over”
What a lineup, includin’ this Big Lew dude on tha beat! >>> Ooh, nice beat start; I think I’m anticipatin’ this! LOL, finally, 16 songs in, somethin’s really catchin’ my attention, wit a new-lookin’ ID! LOL, tha length’s exactly six minutes long; don’t think I mind, either! Name “Big Stackssss”, wit four “S”s at tha end? Wonder how much he has, that makes his name “big”? Nice job, err-body, strictly holdin’ this down! My Rating: 4.3


17. Lil’ One The Champ “The Mexicans”
Why iz this here again? My Current Rating: 3.7


18. Chick Da Flyest Feat. Travis Porter “Marvelous”
Why am I reviewin’ a song wit Travis Porter in it?!? Thought I was just on Louisiana?! >>> Sorry, wrong decade for me; not into tha 2010s mainstream shit! My Rating: 2.1


19. Yung Teddy Feat. Yung V.A. “Facebook”
YP Auto beat; wtf’s this? >>> Wow, instantly skippin’ this! See my comment on tha previous song! My Rating: 1.0


20. Psyke Sconi “5150 That’s My DJ”
LOL? Forgot tha apostrophe in “that’s,” lol. >>> Sounds funny for tha title; decent song, overall. I don’t really know what ta say about this, but yea, “stay underground.” Lots of luv shown here; wonder when someone’ll make a song about me? By tha way, how can you include “Facebook” and “on tha block” in tha same song, betta yet, hook? Ugh, not a good mix! My Rating: 3.8


Overall: Nothin’ that special; just decent, although it got a lil’ wack toward tha near-end. For a CD about you, I think it should’ve changed up, a lil’, or had you featuring many artists; this was like a watered-down compilation, instead.


Rankings:

19. Yung Teddy Feat. Yung V.A. “Facebook” 1.0

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. “Ease Da Pain (Intro)”
>>> Gay start for tha sample. At least your rappin’ iz nice, here. My Rating: 3.8


02. “Ghetto Hero” Feat. B Streezy
>>> Don’t like tha vocals in this hook but tha beat sounds interestin’ fa somethin’ you can rap on. You’re holdin’ down tha rappin’ and representin’ on dis, too. My Rating: 3.9


03. “Father Forgive Me” Feat. Mr. Marcelo & Cutta
>>> Although not my kinda title, I really like tha non-English chantin’ in this; non-English chantin’ iz somethin’ that has always interested me! Tha verses sound good; good, interestin’ collaboration, too. Neva heard Cutta before; he sounds like he blends in good wit you and Marcelo. My Rating: 4.3


04. “Da Streets Made Me” Feat. Soulja Slim
Always good ta have Soulja Slim here and there on various CDs! >>> Sounds good (as always); catchy hook fa “da streets”! “September tha 19th, 1983…;” props on your birthday; glad I know! Tight content, too; great song, overall! My Rating: 4.3


05. “Mo Money, No Problems”
>>> Thought I heard this before; don’t rememba… Catchy song, hook, and how you come through wit tha tightness! My Rating: 4.2


06. “I’m A Gangster” Feat. Eldorado Red
“Gangter”? >>> I guess it’s an error on tha back cover ‘cause my iTunes says, “gangster”. Anyway, this sounds like anotha anthem you’re bringin’ to tha streetz; nice and consistent you are! Thumbs up fa bringin’ this Eldorado Red dude on tha feature! He said, “Alabama to Calliope;” iz he from “Alabama”? Sounds pretty tight for a collab! My Rating: 4.2


07. “My Balls And My Word” Feat. Roca B
>>> Definitely an anthem here! Feelin’ how tha hook sounds and tha true shit you got on lock; good shit/combo, once again!! Nothin’ but tightness, here, as well as tha consistent way you keep this street shit alive!! My Rating: 4.4


08. “I Don’t Give A Fuck” Feat. Mr. Marcelo
>>> Anticipatin’ beat start here… Feelin’ tha attitude; who can’t like dis? Keepin’ thangz goin’ to tha fullest!! Again, this anotha tight collab! My Rating: 4.3


09. “Hoodstar” Feat. Cutta & Mr. Marcelo
LOL, I remember you had a CD called “Hoodstar” in 2009; surprised I didn’t see this anywhere (as far as me knowin’). >>> Sounds like anotha anthem; keepin’ consistent music pumpin’!! Such a great collaboration! Y’all can collaborate for tha rest of tha songs; it’ll still sound tight as hell! My Rating: 4.4


½time: This iz a nice mixtape you got, Var! So far, you’re lookin’ at a 4.2; how will you continue ta do?


10. “I’m Strapped” Feat. Mr. Harvey
>>> Why does it sound like Juelz Santana’s “aye” shit in tha beginning? Regardless, a definite anthem to tha fullest!! This beat’s real nice ta help you wit tha rappin’ and shit; thumbs up! I didn’t realize Mr. Harvey blended in wit dis, lol. My Rating: 4.5


11. “Welcome To New Orleans” Feat. Ceto
I think I played one of these new songs on my radio show durin’ my boy Jimmy The DJ’s edition; this might’ve been tha one. >>> Oh naw, it was “Superish”; anotha dude had this title but this iz definitely on a tighter level! Tha beat’s really hot as far as a Rap genre! Your rappin’ iz consistent as a ma’fucka! Good-ass shit here, my boy! Gotta have dat “kush,” too, my boy!! Ceto doin’ a nice job helpin’ you out, too! What more could you want wit dis? It has everything ta satisfy a Rap luva! My Rating: 4.6


12. “I Gotta Make It”
>>> Feelin’ this! You got dat good-ass “smoke”-type shit you rappin’ ‘bout as well as for tha streetz! You always got my support, bruh! My Rating: 4.4


13. “Maintaining” Feat. Ki’s
LOL, iz that featured artist, like, keys, lol? This should definitely be interestin’!! >>> I like how this sounds, too! I think I’m likin’ it betta than tha last song; real consistent, at tha moment!! Must be Ki’s on tha 1st verse; anotha good discovery from you, Var! You’re doin’ a nice job wit holdin’ dis track down, too! It’s all about survivin’ a.k.a. “maintainin’”! My Rating: 4.5


14. “Front Door Swangin’” Feat. Maceo & Ray Vicks
LOL, haven’t heard Maceo on anything in tha longest time. You even brought Ray on tha track, too; let’s hear dis! >>> This iz some hot shit! Too bad it seemed like Maceo fell outta tha spotlight, it seemed like. I thought he was pretty active from ’05 – ’06. Then, I think I heard a mixtape of his in ’08 that I didn’t hear much noise about. Now, it’s still a quiet mainstream area fa him. But, he sounds real nice on dis joint right chea! Once again, I’m glad you’re doin’ ya thang, Var; glad ta have you recruit people on your mixtape as well as these bangaz!! “More stripes than a zebra;” you know what it iz! Ray iz always decent fa me; he keeps tha mood alive wit his trap shit, though! My Rating: 4.6


15. “Superish” Feat. Mr. Marcelo & Ceto
Here it iz, lol. Lemme review it. >>> No matter what’s said, it sounds good! I like how you say tha title and have it echo; sounds good! All about “feelin’” good to tha fullest! Again, good job on havin’ tha features, too; err-body doin’ they thang fa these 504 streetz!! My Current Rating: 4.3


16. “I’m On It” Feat. Mr. Marcelo & Lil’ Cali
If Lil’ Cali’s on it, do I know it? >>> Yea, this sounds familiar! Definitely a hot-ass song!! I guess this iz a new remix wit Lil’ Cali on it ‘cause it was just you and Celo on tha 1st version. Sounds pretty nice wit Cali on this; good combo, once again! My Rating: 4.8


17. “My Hood (Remix)” Feat. B.G., Mannie Fresh & Gar
LOL… >>> And, all tha others on tha feature, too: Mannie Fresh & Gar, lol. LOL, just mainly a 1st verse from you. Tha rest iz what it iz although this song got boring ta me after I heard it for a while. My Rating: 4.0


18. “Rite Now”
>>> Sounds anticipatin’ wit tha start; let’s get it! Tha hook’s a lil’ weird on tha vocals but again, tha lyrics are pretty good on it. I hear someone’s beat tag within this song (as well as a few others on here); not sure who it iz. Pretty-good-soundin’ song “rite” here, lol. My Rating: 4.1


19. “Cutta Solo” (Cutta)
Must be Cutta’s on song; let’s hear it! >>> Tha beat sounds good ta hold him down. Not likin’ tha “swag/hoe” combo that happens throughout tha hook; this ain’t too bad… My Rating: 3.6


Overall: Nice job, Var; you’re always very consistent wit it! Always stay on your grind!!
