R.I.P. Video #85: Toke Terratino

Broadcasting from tha Gary Gordon Memorial Bridge, here in Lincoln, ME, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog here, sadly reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community.

Donta Perry, known by his stage name Toke Terratino, was fatally murdered inside his home by a gunshot on Monday, September 12, 2022, at around 11:30 PM, in Hammond, LA; he was only 33 years-old. Perry's 12-year-old daughter was also shot five tymes, expecting to survive tha surgery; his other three & seven-year-olds were also present in tha home but were unharmed.

Toke Terratino was born Donta Perry on March 16, 1989; Toke originally went by just "Toke", durin' tha start of his career in media & Louisiana. Toke made his debut by bein' featured on Baton Rouge, LA musician, BluBlack's Code Blu release, in 2008. Toke also appeared on two other releases in 2008: BluBlack's Gotta Get It One Way Mixtape, Vol. 1 & Black Noise's G-Lane, Vol. 1. In 2009, Toke was gearin' up to release his debut, Da Shake Back. However, tha project was never released. In 2012, Toke went by "Yung Toke" & released his debut, Call Of Duty, courtesy of Gorilla Muzik Entertainment. After music, durin' tha 2010's, Toke got into bein' a tattoo artist & later identifyin' himself as "Toke Terratino". On Monday, September 12, 2022, Toke's life was sadly cut short, when a few men invaded Toke's home, off Rufus Bankston Road, in Hammond, LA.

Review #682: Percy Campbell & 31stDeedy "Cockpit Muzik Vol. 1: Fly Tunes: Musik 2 Fly 2 (Hosted by DJ Ya Boy Earl)"

Reviewed on 12.11.2010 (Review #682)

I have my final radio shift of tha semester/year tonight and I’m low on new music. Plus, I don’t have an interview prepared. So, I finna review Percy Campbell & 31st Deedy “Cockpit Muzik Vol. 1: Fly Tunes: Musik 2 Fly 2 (Hosted by DJ Ya Boy Earl)”; REALLY lookin’ forward!!! Sponsored on DatPiff, too, so dis prolly pretty big!! Start Time: 9:14 AM | End Time: 10:06 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. 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.

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): http://www.datpiff.com/DJ_EARL_PERCY_CAMPBELL_31ST_DEEDY_Cockpit_Muzik.m165323.html

01. “Dey Like Me”

Let’s see how it gon sound fa a startin’ song; lookin’ forward! >>> Tha typical Yung Joc “ooh, I dink dey like me…” sample but sounds pretty cool on this beat and how it sounds. Percy goin’ off on tha 1^st verse; luv how he comes through on dis shit! :tu Very energetic; gave him a shout out on my CD comin’ out in three dayz! LOL, even tha 2^nd verse, too; hot shit to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.4

02. “How U Rockin’”

Keepin’ it goin’!!! >>> Iz dat a J Hook beat tag? Yes or no, it sounds DEFINITELY anticipatin’ here, ESPECIALLY wit my boy Percy on tha intro! :tu Nice job wit tha 1^st verse and tha hook’s not bad… A betta job on tha 2^nd verse wit tha shit bein’ spit. Finally, 31^st Deedy on tha 3^rd verse… Kinda typical so it’s not that exciting. But, you know I luv hearin’ new people. My Rating: 4.0

03. “She Diggin’ Me” Feat. Young Ready & Beezy Bird

LOL, it took only three songs ta have Ready on tha feature. LOL, I wouldn’t’ve expected quicker. >>> Tha beat sounds like Savage produced it. I like tha “bleach” shit in tha hook, lol. Cool hook for what’s a typical theme. 31^st iz back on tha 1^st verse here and it’s good…I’ll leave it at dat. ;) LOL at this bein’ almost five minutes long… Not bad of a 2^nd verse from Percy. It’s cool wit how y’all sound although I’m not really into tha whole “Facebook” shit when it’s in a song. Can’t really look forward ta Ready on a song like—oh, he started tha verse off wit, “bitch,” smh. Bad “Twitter game up, all these hoes wanna follow” shit; didn’t need ta hear dat! :td Betta not hear a Facebook line… Okay, good. His verse fit exactly wit tha rest of this song… Ooh, a lil’ impressive moment fa me: Beezy Bird iz “bow”in’ in tha background so I gotta feature him! :tu My Rating: 3.9

04. “Stupid Swagg”

Oh no, not a “swagg” song… >>> Don’t think this’ll be that great although tha beat kinda catches on. I really like tha intro as it’s kinda cocky in a good way. Semi-gay lyrics on tha hook wit tha “swag turned up” but sounds pretty good… Oh no, anotha “Facebook” line, smh. I like tha “pants sag low” part as tha damn thang iz bein’ done here (lol @ tha past tense that I just said), lol. Tha 2^nd verse sounds kinda cocky. LOL, anotha song almost five minutes long. “Watchin’ like a sniper.” :tu Good shit, Percy. However, how do you exactly enable to “pop bottles wit [your] niggaz”? Do you have ta do somethin’ ta make it exactly work without problems? LOL, 31^st Deedyless as Percy’s on tha 3^rd verse again. I’m likin’ tha shit bein’ spit ‘cause it’s tha fun Percy Campbell, lol. Ooh, 31^st snuck into tha 2^nd ½ of tha 3^rd verse wit a pretty good ½ verse fa a title like dis, lol. Looks like dis did betta than how it started. My Rating: 4.1

05. Voice Mailing (Lil’ One The Champ)

Let’s hear what he gotta say… >>> I dunno why I keep thinkin’ he’s half white, half black… Good check-in. My Rating: N/A

06. “M.O.B.” Feat. Pounds & TIC

Looks like an interestin’ collab here; lookin’ forward! >>> Good beat and good start from Percy on tha intro. Okay, 31^st on tha 1^st verse, “[havin’] tha munchies;” dumb shit! “Hoe beggin’ me fa money,” so you don’t give her much/anything since it’s “money ova bitches.” LOL, how ironic dat I said, “money ova bitches,” and then, heard Percy say, “money ova bitches,” in tha hook! Which makes me say dat tha hook iz pretty nice wit Percy on it. Speakin’ of Percy, he doin’ tha damn thang on tha 2^nd verse. “[Tha beat] committed suicide;” dumb shit!! Tha cool thing iz that you can drink heavy/all different kinds of different beverages and still be able ta care about me on tha outside; dat’s a plus! REALLY feelin’ dis start to tha 3^rd verse!! See, I knew I’d like tha feature this time!! This iz tha kind of gutta style I wanna hear on a track!! Tha 2^nd ½ of tha 3^rd verse from tha other feature iz definitely plus. Once again, consistent rappin’ and a tight track overall! My Rating: 4.3

07. “Whip Game”

A betta topic; hope y’all nail it! >>> Tha hook doesn’t even sound original so I lost anticipation here. Oh, it’s a pre-made Vybe beat… At least tha real person came on tha 1^st verse—Percy Campbell! Pretty good verse although I’m not totally feelin’ how there’s a pre-made hook; y’all too tight fa a pre-made hook. Uh oh, a Young Ready-type flow on tha 2^nd verse, lol. Interestin’ verse ta keep it goin’… LOL, 1:05 left and it’s an outro? I guess this gives me time ta type tha ½time… Yea, lookin’ forward ta “Vol. 2”! Oh, a Lil’ Cali drop on tha ending; good shit! My Rating: 3.8

½time: Sounds tight here and I’m glad ta have more new music fa my radio show! Nice lil’ 4.1 CD rating here; keep this shit goin’!

08. “Styro Lov” (31^st Deedy)

LOL, tha 1^st song wasn’t sourced as a solo for Percy Campbell? Or did I hear wrong? Anyway, lemme hear… >>> Good, interestin’. Thought I’d have lower interest in tha beginning but it’s betta than some of tha shit I heard from him earlier. Hearin’ tha hook again and I’m REALLY takin’ interest fa dis “please pass tha syrup!” Good thing I can have not one but two songs ta premiere on my radio show tonight (meaning I don’t play tha same artist once so now, I have a Percy Campbell and/or Percy Campbell & 31^st Deedy song as well as a solo from 31^st Deedy)! Tha 2^nd verse sounds pretty good. Where’d tha “31^st” come from? Iz it a street name or somethin’? Also, lol @ all tha “R.I.P. Nu$$ie” shit on here, here and there. What was your history wit him, Deedy? Good shit wit tha 3^rd verse, too. However, this could be a lil’ shorter; I think 4:42 iz a lil’ too long fa just one artist, especially if this iz tha 1^st time I’m hearin’ it just from Deedy. My Rating: 4.1

09. “Bad Chick”

>>> Anotha longer song? Okay, three seconds less, lol. This izn’t at all somethin’ I’d really like. SMH @ tha lil’ kid in tha background… Sounds like a bullshit, mainstream Pop/Rap song. :td “[Somethin’]-signed on my dick;” what, lol? :confused Cool dat it was Percy on tha 2^nd verse but I still have nothin’ ta say… LOL, more of Percy on tha 3^rd verse… “Bein’ broke iz not an option;” at least you have money ta do business wit me, Percy. Even a ½ verse on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 3^rd verse from 31^st and a Big Jay drop. My Rating: 3.3

10. “Fabulous Night”

>>> Finally, a condensed length! Beat’s kinda smooth wit mainly just a sound and tha hook’s good. Good 1^st verse from Percy; always makes a party tight! Tha 2^nd verse contributes pretty nicely, too. My Rating: 4.1

11. DJ Earl Speaks

>>> Almost thought tha “Chicken & Watermellon” shit disappeared but I’m glad I just heard it so that’s a plus. Interestin’ lil’ intermission… My Rating: N/A

12. “Outta This World”

>>> This sounds like it’s gonna be betta and tha length iz right in tha middle between condensed and too long! Sounds interestin’; likin’ dis shit wit bein’ “outta this world”! Nice shit from Deedy, doin’ his thang. Here’s Percy on tha 2^nd verse, doin’ his thang (as always)! Damn, tha 2^nd ½ of tha 2^nd verse iz soundin’ really consistent wit all this “unicycle” shit and err-thang goin’ on!! Thumbs up ta my MA’FUCKIN’ BOY PERCY CAMPBELL!!! :tu DJ Bootsie drop toward tha end, too. My Rating: 4.3

13. “Tha World Iz A Ghetto”

Hope this iz good… >>> Glad it’s kinda short although it’s ½ non-Louisiana on tha sound… Tha rappin’ sounds real good wit Percy doin’ tha damn thang on tha 1^st verse! Tha fast rappin’ plus tha lyrical content equals a really tight track! Good 2^nd verse from Deedy. LOL, iz everyone “raised in tha projects”? My Rating: 4.2

14. “Keep Hatin’”

>>> Good beat start but shit yea at Percy Campbell bein’ on tha 1^st verse!! Fuckin’ LUV how he comin’ through wit dat voice and consistent rappin’!!! Tha hook’s pretty tight! Maybe dis hook fits wit tha “Outta This World” one wit tha “alien” shit, lol; definitely catchy! 31^st Deedy’s on tha 2^nd verse wit a betta sound this time; good shit! I didn’t realize dis joint has a lil’ kid in tha background of tha hook, too? Damn… This one ain’t dat bad, at least… My Rating: 4.3

15. “I’ve Been Stressin’” (Percy Campbell)

Looked forward ta hearin’ a solo but a title like dis? >>> Tha intro izn’t anything for me but tha hook’s above average, at least. At least I’m gettin’ 4:39 of Percy Campbell only! A personal 1^st verse… These kinda songs ain’t really fa me but I’ll keep listenin’. Tha 2^nd verse ain’t bad and tha 3^rd verse sounds a lil’ betta wit tha content. Should’ve rapped a whole verse about AJ; dat would’ve been interestin’. My Rating: 3.5

Overall: Not bad and pretty good. When it’s a big dawg dat I luv like Percy Campbell teamin’ up wit a newbie from tha 225 like 31^st Deedy, it’s everlasting, regardless of what it sounds like. Good job, guys! Keep up tha GR8 work!!

Commercial #65: BluBlack "Gotta Get It One Way Mixtape Vol. 1 (Hosted by DJ Bootsie)"

Review #168: BluBlack "Gotta Get It One Way Mixtape Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 1.18.2009 (Review No. 168)

Man, what’s good? This ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog, tha one who be doin’ tha MOST, and tha BEST, for tha music business, ya dig. I just got done counting down my 9th annual year-end countdown, tha top 800 songs of 2008! That shit took 71 hours and 16 minutes to count down, as well as a couple of dayz to rank each song from 1 to No. 800. Results’ll be online soon, as I’m workin’ on makin’ it into Youtube video clips. Speaking of which, Blu Black did land on it at No. 251 wit his only appearance, wit Down Bad, “Out Da Box.” I played it 41 times in 2008, and you can expect a WHOLE LOT more of Blu Black on 2009’s year-end countdown, when I count it down in January 2010! He sure gon win some **CERTIFIED CLASSIC** awards from me (havin’ at least 100 spins wit me), and maybe even win some other awards that have to do wit how great he/his CDs are! Now that I’m back in action here, I finna get into this mixtape that his manager sent me. It’s tha “Gotta Get It One Way Mixtape Vol. 1” mixtape, and it’s hosted by DJ Bootsie. Ya gotta love tha way tha manager led me into tha CD when he was gonna send it to me. He was like, “On this mixtape, there’s only ONE SONG from tha Code Blu CD, and all tha songs are all original beats.” And when he told me that, I was like, “That’s tha CORRECT formula when it comes to anticipating/pleasin’ me wit some music, ya dig.” So now, here goes my review for BluBlack “Gotta Get It One Way Mixtape Vol. 1”! It’s tha 2nd review I’m doin’ of 2009, and tha 1st Rap one, so thumbs up to Blu on that! Happy birthday, and R.I.P., to my grandpa, who iz my rappin’ grandma’s dad. Anything I do (like this review) I feel that’s on his birthday iz considered lucky in my opinion. Start Time: 6:26 PM | Video Game Playing: The Legend Of Zelda – Ocarina Of Time (for Nintendo 64) (on my computer)

© 2009 CD Review (Review #168) reviewed on 1.18.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.

01. Intro
Tha “Code Blu” CD didn’t really have an actual intro (since it was tha beginning on tha “Retardid” joint). REALLY lookin’ forward to hearin’ how tha intro gon sound!! >>> What exactly iz “that lane?” Not tha “Hood Song,” but what exactly iz it? Beat sounds REAL GOOD in this intro!! There’s still another 59 seconds left in this intro… A lot of talkin’ goin’ on here, but tha dude on tha intro sounds cool. So, now that he said, “G-Lane, South Baton Rouge,” iz that tha “lane”? Pretty nice intro here, and I’m lookin’ forward to hearin’ more of what DJ Bootsie has in stock for hosting and all that good shit, ya heard me. My Rating: N/A


02. “Who Dat Is” Feat. Toke, Ace & Butla
That title reminds me of tha 2nd verse of “Retardid,” when you start it off wit, “Who dat iz… It’s me, Blu Black.” I have tha inside of tha CD on tha ground, so tha writing of who’s featured on it iz kinda small, so I’m gonna lean over my chair, and see who’s featured on this right here… *checks* Okay, good thing it’s 3 newbies for me (anybody else on tha “Code Blu” CD, excluding any Down Bad members, don’t count ‘cause I didn’t know who they were at tha time). Really lookin’ forward to hearin’ this right chea!!! >>> Glad to hear you on more shit, Blu! Pretty catchy hook on here. Tha beat reminds me of some earlier 2000s shit that I would really like, compared to tha wack-ass mainstream shit that’s out now. That 1st verse from you was DEFINITELY nice; I REALLY liked tha end of tha verse, where it went quiet for 2 seconds! That reminded me of Paul Van Dyk Feat. Lo-Fi Sugar “Haunted” when it goes quiet for 2-3 seconds after tha choruses. Tha 2nd verse on this shit iz definitely nice! That must be Toke on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse ‘cause he defined an acronym of his name. That “10 degrees below 0” part about his chain can apply to tha weather here in Northeast PA; it was what, -2 degrees this morning (or tha other morning). Tha 3rd verse (wit both parts in it) iz soundin’ great!! I believe that’s Butla on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse ‘cause he said his name. I like tha “purple kush…” part on his part; great shit. I didn’t realize that you were on tha hook, Blu. I thought that was one of tha featured people ‘cause there’s 3 of ‘em, but yeah, REAL catchy hook on this, and this iz DEFINITELY watz good! My Rating: 4.4


UPDATE: Forgot to mention that I got a poster of you hangin’ up on my door. Your manager sent me this big one, along wit a smaller one. I didn’t do anything wit tha smaller one yet, but I might put it in tha box I finna have wit all tha Louisiana CDs I get.


03. “Serve Her” Feat. Ace
This should be anotha catchy/fire tune; lookin’ forward to hearin’!! >>> Yup, pretty catchy start. That’s cool that you gon break tha girl’s virginity. Nice 1st verse from you here. Hearin’ Ace on tha 2nd verse, and I’m definitely lookin’ forward to hearin’ him…! Yeah, “Blu Black on tha track;” who else would make these TIGHT beats for these jointz? Tha 2nd verse was DEFINITELY energetic and GREAT for a song like this; good job guys. My Rating: 4.1


04. “Left, Right”
Glad to hear just you on a track, even though it only 2:56… Hope you come correct for me on this shit! >>> What’s wit tha, “welcome to Code Blu,” intro? Hook iz pretty catchy, but sounds like “Get In There” from your “Code Blu” CD (wit those “get it up” parts)… I don’t think they’re tha same song, as this has a different beat. Not bad for a start, even though it ain’t too exciting for me… Way too mainstreamish of a sound on this… Okay, a lil’ too repetitive wit tha “jigg it in tha middle” parts. Too short, and a waste of 3 minutes for me. My Rating: 2.6


05. “Beat It Up” Feat. Kidd
This better be good… >>> Decent start… What’s wit tha female songs again? Typical song/1st verse… Kid did better on this. Not bad song, but a bad/boring Louisiana type of song, sorry. My Rating: 2.9


06. Skit
I thought I needed a recovery from bein’ pissed off in Zelda (tha game I’m playin’). Let’s hear what you got to say… Ooh, it’s 1:16, so this’ll be good! You know I was DYIN’ to hear skits on tha “Code Blu” CD! >>> I was gonna say, “music in tha background?” I thought it was gonna be you, but it’s Bootsie. As for what Bootsie said, I did go to http://www.blublack225.com to buy tha “Code Blu” CD. And as far as your Myspace Blu Black, I didn’t go there, you found me, so that’s what’s good. I’m glad you got me in your top friends as well (I gon keep you in mine, since I’m workin’ wit you, ya dig). My Rating: N/A


07. “Stunt On ‘Em” Feat. Cage & Big World
Looks like a lot of anticipation here… 4:45 on tha length, No. 7, Cage of Down Bad on here, as well as a Big World dude. Damn, I betta go get a drink and come back in 60 seconds ‘cause I feel that this shit gon get “retardid!!” *Goes and gets a drink* Up, not 60, but I was gone for 55 seconds. Let’s hear this shit! >>> I thought it was gonna be more up-tempo/retarded… Tha hook iz a good one, and this sounds pretty good so far. That 1st verse iz pretty nice. Tha “clothes from ‘91” part sounded pretty catchy. I’m hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse… Soundin’ good, but please drop tha “out da box” quote, as well as (not sure if it’s gonna be said on here) “2008 shit…” part in tha beginning. Big World on tha 3rd verse? I didn’t expect Cage to be up 1st? Damn, what happened to tha anticipation? Not bad on tha 3rd verse, as he did a pretty nice job. I’m gonna need to get happier for better ratings after No. 4 and No. 5. My Rating: 3.7


08. “Dey Mad” Feat. Needy Nee, Beezy Brd & Butla
Even longer (4:51 on tha length), so it has to be even better! Looks like this could be a better song wit that title! >>> Not sure if that’s a guy or girl on tha hook, but it’s pretty good. I think that same person iz on tha 1st verse… Pretty gutta verse right there. Tha 2nd verse sounded pretty good, but why iz there always like a 2nd ½? It confuses tha shit outta me… That dude on tha 2nd ½, whoever he iz, did a pretty nice job too. Your 3rd verse was pretty nice; I can’t say anything about it though. I’m a lil’ aggravated, so that’s a lil’ unlucky for you, but whatever. My Rating: 3.5


09. “Get Money” Feat. Butla & Toke
Again, features? I don’t know about this… Betta not be a bullshit song… >>> Okay, feelin’ this one better; like that slow voice on tha hook. Hearin’ tha 1st verse now… Pretty good. Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse… Tha more I lose in tha video game I’m playin’, tha much greater chances of lower ratings… Your verse was pretty catchy wit tha “gettin’ head” part, which included money. Let’s hear tht 3rd verse… That’s cool that, “Ben iz his king.” Tha beat iz pretty cool on this too. My Rating: 3.8


10. “Who Me”
No features this time… *Takes a few minutes break to calm down* Shit, I fuckin’ finally defeated tha boss! What a fuckin’ pain in tha ass! And wit The Prodigy “Smack My Bitch Up” comin’ on Music Choice Electronica (it hasn’t been played on there in like years), tha anger DEFINITELY applied to defeat tha boss, so now, it’s about time I finna get back into this mixtape! 3:48 on tha length can be good… >>> Nice that there’s a beat start… NOOOO!!! “2008 shit;” discard it!! Sounds good wit tha “I got tha game like a PS2…” part. Shit, tha “out da box” thing too… Didn’t like that I heard tha “this ya boy, Blu Black” in tha hook… What, again it happened? Tha hook iz pretty catchy here, but still not pleasing enough to get me back in tha mood… I like tha “got tha pills” part at 1:55, but tha verses seem kinda short for me to go on wit. Shit, that “this ya boy” thing again… I’m gonna keep complainin’ about it… It’s bad enough that it appears twice in tha hook. Another short, 3rd verse… Glad tha last hook didn’t have tha “this ya boy” shit. I liked that lil’ acapella part that was right before tha beat ending. That fuckin’ “this ya boy” thing again… My Rating: 3.7


½time: Way below my expectations… “Code Blu” was A LOT better!! But, I can’t stop here; got 11 more to go. I finna call your manager and let him get an update on how I’m doin’ on this… *Calls* LOL @ tha no answer… Well, I guess I finna get back to this quicker than I expected.


11. Skit
Oh yeah, there’s a skit (I remember tha short length on my computer for this one). It’s 41 seconds, so let’s see who says what… I predict it bein’ my boy DJ Bootsie… >>> Yeah, my fuckin’ boy Bootsie! Shit, that fuckin’ “this ya boy” still goin’ in tha background from that other beat… Yeah, “225 forever;” that’s REALLY watz good! Baton Rouge music LIVES in my blood and I’m poisoned (in a good way) from it!! Great skit that put me in a better mood. My Rating: N/A


12. “Gotta Get It One Way”
Tha title track… I wonder what you gon spit… Tha jointz keep gettin’ longer, as this one’s 4:56… >>> Cool beat for this one. Doesn’t exactly sound like you on this… Was this recorded differently, or was it recorded a while ago? I guess I’ll give a plus to tha 1st verse. That hook ain’t that bad… Good start to tha 2nd verse wit tha “my mind cold/temperature…” part. Oh, tha elements continue as you said “call me rice-a-roni (sp?) ‘cause I’m boilin’ out tha pot;” nice consistent elements goin’ on here. Nice “pill money” topic too. I don’t really “catch chills,” whether I’m hearin’ your verses; I catch anticipation. I’m hearin’ tha 3rd verse now… I like what’s bein’ said here, especially tha “head fulla dreads” part; nice shit here. My Rating: 3.9


13. “I Like Dat” Feat. Butla & Young True
Betta not be another typical sounding type of song… I’m gettin’ real tired right now… >>> Too much in tha beginning wit tha “it’s ya boy” and tha “get it up” type of shit that I’ve heard… Anotha typical song; boo, hoo… I can tell from that hook, even though this iz a lil’ better. I like how you’re goin’ wit tha beat (wit tha “dunn, dunn, da-da-dunn” part). LOL @ tha “dick/condum” part… Butla doin’ a good job on his verse. That fastness on tha 2nd ½ of his part was just real nice to hear. Hearin’ True on tha 3rd verse… He’s got a good voice for this Rap shit. I like tha “2 midgets posted up…” part; that was a nice part. Wow, he even said somethin’ about Long Island. Thanx for him puttin’ Long Island in his verse ‘cause that’s where I’m originally from (Long Island, NY). Damn, I can’t just finish typing… I gotta wait for tha whole song to end ‘cause I still have to say shit. That “it’s ya boy, Blu Black” thing has to go!! My Rating: 3.6


14. “Vibes 2.0” Feat. Yung Yola
I wonder what this gon sound like. I also wonder how that dude on tha feature gon sound… >>> Tha fuckin’ “it’s ya boy” thing in tha beginning. That no music in tha beginning got me wonderin’ for a sec, but I was just about to stop this joint (‘cause I thought it was that “Out My Body” joint wit tha “out my body” parts in tha hook), but, I’m hearin’ tha title in tha hook, so I can tell it’s a different song. Yung Yola soundin’ REAL GOOD on his shit! DEFINITELY feelin’ his attitude in his voice/flow/rappin’/verse. He did his thang on tha 1st verse, and that hook iz DEFINITELY tha shit; great beat too! Now, THIS IZ HOW YOU COME BACK! After so many songs, tha mixtape revives!! A lil’ “Retardid” jackin’ in your verse, Blu Black. On tha 2nd verse, you’re sayin’ tha “??? Lane… hurricane… feel tha pain…” part. Tha verse was pretty nice too. This iz tha repetitive hook you need to stick to on this CD! This was a nice track right here! My Rating: 4.5


15. “Bootie Jigg” Feat. Big World & Supa
That dude Supa iz a character! I’m REALLY lookin’ forward to hearin’ what he gon spit on this shit! Oh, and how odd, to match wit this title, tha song that came on Music Choice Hitlist just now, tha 2nd time I heard it on there, was Filly “Sweat (The Drip Drop Song)”. “Tha fever starts to flow when tha clothes start slippin’.” That line in that song HAS to apply to this joint! I have a feelin’ this one ain’t gon fail! It has to have tha right formula! >>> First 5 seconds were kinda quiet, but it’s pickin’ up… Tha fuckin’ “it’s ya boy” thing came up again. I’m hearin’ you, and then Supa on tha hook, and it sounded REAL nice to hear him! That sounds like Big World on tha 1st verse… Tha beat sounds pretty nice, and this iz a better female song; I knew it wasn’t gonna fail. Tha 1st verse was kinda short. That hook iz pretty nice. Now, it’s you on tha 2nd verse… C’mon, no complaints here, right? Good, nothin’ for me to complain so far. Tha “take them panties off” line goes PERFECT wit that Filly quote I just quoted from that song! Tha “clothes are slippin’!” Nice 2nd verse from you; glad there were no complaints! C’mon, I HOPE Supa iz on tha 3rd verse… YES, he iz!! I like how he holds tha notes on his words (like he’s singin’ ‘em a lil’). He’s pretty famous for his “uh huhhhh” part. LOL @ tha “I don’t give a F,” and then went into “u-c-k.” Short 3rd verse, but he caught my attention on this; good shit right here! Damn, I just keep typing and typing and typin’ without even goin’ back to playin’ my video game that much! Shit, tha “it’s ya boy” thing again @ 3:21. You don’t see Savage havin’ “you hear tha way…Savage track to pieces” throughout tha song multiple times. I’m glad I don’t do that shit in my songs. My Rating: 4.3


16. “Jiggin’ 2 Da Bells” Feat. Kidd
Let’s keep this HOT SHIT comin’ along! Last time, tha No. 16 song on your “Code Blu” CD was “On Dem Pillz.” I know that gon be 10,000x better, but let’s hear what this joint has to offer… >>> Another quiet/curious intro as for 12 seconds, there was no beat. It sounded pretty good/anticipating in tha beginning until you jacked tha D4L song “Bet’cha Can’t Do It Like Me” in tha hook; WTF @ that?!? Your 1st verse was pretty nice. Tha 1st ½ of tha hook iz nice wit tha “jiggin’ 2 da beat/hearin’ bells,” but it just gets bad wit tha D4L jackin’… Hearin’ Kid on tha 2nd verse… I’m likin’ tha “slangin’” part. He sounds like he DEFINITELY doin’ his thang wit his verse on this shit! Looks like I’m REALLY likin’ his verse!! Tha “scoop you wit tha shovel” part was nice to hear. Damn, he just keeps goin’! FUCKIN’ LOVE Kid’s verse on this shit! Keep spittin’… Oh shit, his verse fuckin’ ended. Bad “get it up” jackin’ before tha hook ended. I mean, I like that “Get In There” joint you did wit tha “get it up” parts, but there’s no need to repeat it. Have to give props to Kid’s verse, tha 1st ½ of tha hook, tha beat, and a BIG thumbs down to that 2nd ½ of tha hook! My Rating: 4.2


17. “Want Beef” Feat. Big #’s
I had to turn tha featured artist’s name into “No.” to represent for “numbers” ‘cause on Myspace, tha number symbol doesn’t come out for some reason. Anyway, I looked at tha length (1:32) and I thought it was gonna be another skit. Let’s hear how quick this one’ll go… >>> Tha beat started off pretty cool, and then had some NICE kicks before tha hook (and no “it’s ya boy” bullshit)! Catchy hook; hate to see this really short. Let’s hear you on tha 1st verse… A lil’ bit of a Weezy flow. Cool “dreads and golds” part; glad that’s you right there. Oh shit, just one verse? Way too short, but gets my thumbs up. My Rating: 4.0


18. Skit
Yes, ANOTHER skit! LOL @ it bein’ longer than tha previous joint that I thought was a skit. If Bootsie on this shit, you know I’m DYIN’ to hear it, again!! >>> I like tha “Hood Song (That Lane)” beat in tha background. Because of No. 19 comin’ up, I just had a GREAT FEELIN’ that was gonna be tha next joint on here ‘cause No. 19 jointz are always anticipating/REAL GOOD. Bootsie sounds GREAT talkin’ on this beat! I liked that he went on tha hook to tha “Hood Song”’s beat; great shit! I can’t get enough of fuckin’ hearin’ Bootsie on this skit! Yes, 22 more seconds!! GREAT “you want beef, nigga? I make beef, nigga” part. Let’s get into tha BEST song on here!! My Rating: N/A


19. “Hood Song (Dat Lane)” Feat. Beezy Bird, Lil’ Mike, Ace, Needy Nee & Kidd
I ID it like that (‘cause “Hood Song” was tha 1st title I saw, and then “Dat Lane”’s tha 2nd title I saw). Here’s tha reaction I got from it when I heard it on tha “Code Blu” CD for tha 1st time: Wow, it just kicked in RIGHT AWAY!! I slowly hear tha beat, and I can TELL it’s tha Baton Rouge type of beat that I FUCKIN’ LOVE!!!! This hook sounds REAL TIGHT/REAL CATCHY!!! Too fuckin’ catchy!! Oh, it’s all about, “that lane;” cool. Shit, on tha 1st verse, all that shit you do, “in that lane,” iz DEFINITELY watz good!! I can’t wait ‘til tha day comes where I get to meet you, and then, hang wit you, “in that lane,” ya dig. That other dude on tha 1st verse sounded pretty good too on his part; REAL GREAT 1st verse!!! Anotha dude on tha 2nd verse… He has that Young Ready type of flow; I can EASILY tell he a Baton Rouge dude! REAL GREAT 2nd verse from him! It sounds like a girl on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse… Yeah, “it IZ retontoe” (sp?). She did her thang, as she had a GREAT attitude to this shit! Sounds like a GREAT start to tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse!! That’s REAL cool that he’s, “got dat killa in his hand.” Let’s hear tha 2nd ½… That dude’s “a dog wit no brain;” HE RETARDED!!! This shit was SOOOOOOOO FUCKIN’ TIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!! I like how it ended, as tha beat ended cold, wit, “whatchu know about that lane, nigga?” To add to this: I guess this didn’t source who was featured in this joint. Let’s see if it says it in tha “Code Blu” CD… *Checks* Yup, it’s featuring Beezy Bird, Lil’ Mike, Ace, Needy Nee & Kidd. You do love your featured artists, Blu Black, lol. I might consider this to be tha 2nd song I play off of tha “Code Blu” CD, since tha one I’m playin’ right now iz “Retardid.” My Current Rating: 4.9


20. “Give Me Me” Feat. Trally Boy
I just wanna say right now that tha front cover to your “Code Blu” CD iz SO FUCKIN’ INFECTIOUS!!!!!!!!!! I feel like it can’t be stopped, just like wit my boy Jimmy The DJ’s “Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2” mixtape cover; I see it non-stop! Let’s hear what this title gon define… >>> Cool beat so far… I have a feelin’ that typical, “it’s ya boy,” thing gon come out… Good, it didn’t. REAL nice start to tha 1st verse, as you said you were, “sellin’ drugs,” and shit like that; GREAT shit to listen to from you! Sounds like anotha catchy hook on here, and that beat just makes this joint sound good. Oh wow, I didn’t expect tha repetitiveness in tha hook wit all those “ay, give me me” parts! Trally Boy’s 2nd verse was nice on this shit too. Jammin’ shit right here. When it said “Blu Black” before tha 2nd hook ended, I thought it was gonna be another verse from you, but no, you let tha beat ride; nice beat ending. My Rating: 4.3


21. Outro
5:57 on tha outro’s length? Damn, I hope this some GREAT shit (talkin’ from DJ Bootsie, you rappin’, anything)!! >>> Sounds like a song… Nice beat in tha background, but sounds like some shout outs goin’ on here… Yeah, “thank Down Bad Entertainment;” Down Bad be doin’ tha damn thang, and I’m REAL GLAD they got a lot of luv for me. Next time when you record an outro, or whateva it iz to give credits, I’ll be lookin’ forward to hearin’/seein’ my name somewhere. I’m glad you on tha outro here. When you said, “I see you my nigga,” it sounded like it was copied/pasted ‘cause it sounded like one of your words (to what you might’ve been sayin’ next) just got cut off, lol (it sounded like it was gonna say, “my…”). It’s sad to hear you say, “they killed my dawg, ya heard me.” Well, that ended at 2:32. Oh wait, sounds like a slow intro to (maybe) a song… No, tha fuckin’ “this ya boy, Blu Black” thing. I don’t know tha actual person singin’, but this iz way too depressing for me. Sorry to hear that you have had deaths in your life. I’m not gonna rate this, as this ain’t really officially a “song;” it’s more of a long outro. That FUCKIN’ “it’s ya boy, Blu Black” thing had to be at tha end. My Rating: N/A


Overall: End Time: 8:52 PM. Well, I’m FINALLY finished reviewin’ this CD. Well, I thought I was gonna expect to be happier, but I’m a lil’ satisfied wit what I heard on here. Tha 1st ½ of tha mixtape was way too decent/not my type of Louisiana music that I’d hear (excluding No. 2 and 3), but tha CD gained some life once we hit No. 14, so I was glad for a happy ending. Keep doin’ yo thang, Blu Black, and I hope you, your manager, and anybody readin’ this, enjoy this review. Once again, I’m REAL FUCKIN’ GLAD to be workin’ wit you, dawg. We got this 2009 shit on lock, ya heard me! That commercial gon be comin’, as soon as I get that mini DV tape, belie’ dat! Also, now that I have an official copy of your “Code Blu” CD, I finna go put tha featured artists in all tha song IDs on my review for that CD, so it looks a lot better lookin’.
