Review #1,386: Shell "Thuggaman Jones (Hosted by DJ Young Shawn, DJ Ben Frank & DJ Dow Jones)"

Reviewed on 3.16.2014 (Review #1,386)

Got an anticipatin’ review up next: Thugga Muzik Group’s Shell Thuggaman Jones (Hosted by DJ Young Shawn, DJ Ben Frank & DJ Dow Jones)! You know I always anticipate Shell releases, especially since he been showin’ me review luv, since April 3, 2008! And, wow, that First 6 Months mixtape wit 3Deep review’ll be six years old, on March 20! Though I’m excited for this review, I’ve seen some negative feedback on LiveMixtapes!

People sayin’ Shell sold out and he on some mainstream shit? Kinda prepares me, but Shell, life’s different when you get robbed, so if anything shitty comes in my way, best believe I gon call it shitty, ya heard me?! Start Time: 12:52 PM | End Time: 2:18 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 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it! After I was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

01. “Turnt Up”

You already know! I got my positive face on, right nah! >>> N.O. at its finest on tha beat: Beat Doctor! Oh no @ tha hook: Really, auto-tune? You goin’ in that masturbatin’-in-anotha-dude’s-ear route? Sounds way too much like Future-like shit, especially dat joint wit B.O.B. & him “Ready”… I usually skip shit like this immediately, but I wanna see how much I can handle… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and it’s pretty bad! You need to let your natural voice come out; what’d you, take tha grill out, too? Kinda ironic that you followed me on Twitter durin’ tha Thugga Muzik Vol. 1 dayz, but this shit comes out, and no followin’ on Instagram. Ugh, your voice sucks on tha hook!!! I can’t handle this “money” shit, too; it’s almost like because I got robbed, niggaz gotta drill it in my fuckin’ head about “money, money, money;” it wasn’t like that years ago!! Why this 4:28? Too long! No need for a 3^rd verse! Can I please request havin’ a headache?! Anyway, whether I didn’t skip it or not, this gets tha lowest score from me; terrible start ta what I thought would be a nice tape!! My Rating: 1.0

02. “Trap Spot”

Y…E…A…H…! >>> Glad your normal voice’s back; hope you stick to your normal self and not be brainwashed by fake people who only rap about “money!” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and I’m feelin’ tha drugs you “got,” as always, as well as this “trap” shit! Feelin’ tha grimy voice of yours on tha hook; good shit, though when your “phone” rung on May 18, 2012, that was tha only time I talked to you. I wanted you to freestyle for my radio show, though you neva answered again/called me back, and my show had to retire three months and a day later. But, also, I’m feelin’ tha “molly” shit you “got,” too! Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice, too! You even gave a “shout out ta dem Migos;” gotta agree! Nice verse; nice “trap” vibe, once again, fa tha 2K14! My Rating: 4.3

03. “Make A Movie” Feat. Queens

Not sure who tha feature iz; almost thought it was Joey Queans from New Orleans… >>> Back to tha gayness, it sounds like? Sounds like Lil’ Wayne when he was rappin’ like when you first came out, mixed with today’s bullshit… Beat sounds too much like a crossover song, too! No, DJ, please, don’t “bring that shit back;” ironically, they didn’t, lol! Was that ironic? Or wait, it sounds like it’s loopin’… What’s up wit tha exciting beat sounds, too? Naw… What made you wanna make a-tune music? Thank God you’re turnin’ 27 next Sunday; maybe, you’ll lose this attribute of yours and at 27, go back to tha 3Deep shit! Can’t take tha “money long” shit, as well as tha “phone” shit; why haven’t we talked more than once? Again, I could’ve skipped this one, but I figured, why don’t I see what Queens has to say… Boring flow; sounds like today’s shit—I can’t figure out which song it sounds like. Even “money” shit? Boring fa me; next! My Rating: 1.0

04. “R4MN” Feat. Foxx & Lil’ Trill

Ooh @ Foxx on tha feature! Earlier, on Friday, it marked seven years since Music Choice Rap premiered tha “Wipe Me Down (Remix)”: http://instagram.com/p/lhpmi-w0yw/

Time ta anticipate this one! I see that y’all three got a mixtape collaboration project comin’ out together; can’t wait to hear!! >>> “R.I.P. ta Mr. Magic;” thought you’d put that in tha 1^st song… Hearin’ tha beginning, and I’m not really into tha quoting shit: “Fuck them otha niggaz ‘cause I ride for my niggaz;” whateva, especially since I neva can get people to “ride 4” me! Hook’s boring, fa me, wit this mainstream-soundin’ beat and shit. Here’s Foxx on tha 1^st verse; much betta, compared to tha shit on this CD, so far! See, Shell: Regular Foxx, gutta flow, grimy lyrics, and sounds nice and energetic, just like it was tha “Watch My Shoes” dayz! Prolly gon be tha best part of tha whole CD: Tha Foxx verse! Too bad this song won’t have tha top rating ‘cause of your boring hook/tha beat. Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse, and it’s one-dimensional wit these lyrics; I feel like I’m instantly-resisting positive feedback… Let’s see how Lil’ Trill comes through on tha 3^rd verse… Wow, almost sounds like Lil’ Cali, this time? Funny ‘cause he likes a-tune, and though this CD has that in it, he avoided it? Weird? Guess he grew up, already? Rhymes are okay, though; better than your verse, Shell! My Rating: 3.0

05. “Money 2”
I dunno ‘bout this one; am I expecting a masturbating voice? I’d prolly rather sing my girl, St. Vincent’s “Birth In Reverse”: “Take out tha garbage, masturbate;” shit yeah! >>> No gay voice, but totally rippin’ off Ace Hood? I know he has had some fast-rappin’ shit out, recently, and this sounds just like him, on tha 1^st verse! It’s pretty tight, but no way does this CD qualify for tha quality of bein’ “on dem pillz” at all! Too bad DJ B-Real’s all in his evasive, upset stage; his beats prolly could’ve helped you on some of these jointz, on here. Either way, definitely a nice 1^st verse; I have to give you props! However, this hook’s wack; I don’t fuck wit this “money” shit! Tha 2^nd verse continues that fast-rapped style, though I’m not feelin’ tha beginning lyrics wit tha “money” obsession… A mixed-reviewed joint fa me, here. My Rating: 3.5

06. “Hold Me Down” Feat. Gar

Gar on tha feature, here; Chopper City Boyz, stand up! >>> Not really into tha R&B content on tha hook; thought this would be on some G-shit wit Gar on it… Fuck! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and since you ain’t “pick up tha phone” fa me a bunch of times, you know I gon dislike this 1^st verse! I need to be a priority, but people don’t fuck wit me, anymore, smh. And, again wit tha “pillz”? You oughta get into that jiggin’ mode again ‘cause this tha kinda music that doesn’t deserve tha references! Oh, of course, Gar just hides in tha hook at all times; he neva has verses on features, smh… Tha 2^nd verse’s okay, though too much attention on this “bitch”? And, “otha bitch” and “otha bitch;” sounds like it’s remaking anotha old song? Too bad all these bitches iz what throws peoples’ careers off; they fall off before they turn 30 or somethin’ ‘cause of all these kids and bitches! My Rating: 2.1

07. “All Night” Feat. Juvenile

Keepin’ it 504 throughout this whole CD, I see? >>> Thank God there’s that shitty voice of yours in tha beginning ‘cause I finna run downstairs and get my pizza outta tha oven, while this plays! Anyway, pure gayness wit this mainstream-soundin’ beat; Juve’s part was aight, too, though this iz pure trash for me! PURE!!! My Rating: 1.0

½time: Wow, worst CD of tha year, so far?! I could’ve seen one or two songs bein’ trash, but startin’ from tha jump, as well as it bein’ almost every other joint on here? You really need ta lay off tha auto-tune; who’s idea was that to put that on your voice? They was doin’ that shit when you dropped “Watch My Shoes”; why no bullshit on your voice, back then? Too bad you’re bein’ brainwashed by somebody! Not into an R&B mixtape—how does tha word “mixtape” go with R&B? No way; mixtapes are for tha streetz! So far, a pathetic, embarrassing 2.3 for tha CD rating! :(

08. “All Nighter” Feat. Cristian Radke

I dunno about tha feature’s name, as far as anticipation… Anyway, sequel to tha previous joint? Watch this one be better, smh… >>> Not really into tha pop-tryna-be-rap-like voice on tha hook, and after hearin’ you in tha beginning, as a sample, I think this iz shitty, too? Yup, not feelin’ this one-dimensional shit. Since when did all rap come down to focusin’ on “money”? What’ll be like in 10 years? “Money” iz just slang for gayness!! Tha 2^nd verse ain’t good fa me, either, wit all this bullshit. Sadly, I like this a lil’ betta than tha previous “All Night” joint, only ‘cause of tha hook; wow… My Rating: 1.4

09. “Salute”
Most definitely! Next Sunday, March 23, you know what that iz, right? LOL… I gon get dem scratch-offs ready…, unless you come at me wrong! >>> A lil’ more normal, this time; good hook and beat sounds decent fa an anthem. Tha 1^st verse’s decent, too; at least it’s actually for tha streetz! I like tha “yoppa” part; nice sound effect. I still don’t get why every single song has ta do wit “gettin’ to tha money;” why? No wonder why you don’t stay in touch wit me ‘cause I’m not “gettin’ to tha money;” at least you appreciate my reviewz! And, you gon definitely take this review into consideration! “Shit” iz not what 2014’s about! Tha 2^nd verse sounds catchy; even spreadin’ this “pussy” around ta your “lil’ brother,” lol. Good song, here, but because of how shitty this CD’s been, I don’t see this CD bein’ memorable at all… My Rating: 4.0

10. “Eastside Nikka” Feat. B Trez

Neva heard tha feature, but tha title looks like a salute ta me, on tha “East”! >>> Sounds like remaking rhymes on tha hook wit tha “I wake up in tha morning” shit. Actually, you’re remaking yourself, a lil’, wit “Face Shots”—almost forgot about that. That was a more-normal joint that landed on none of your CDs, smh. I can’t believe I’m also bein’ captured by this beat, too! Pretty good ear for a beat like this! Nice sounds/climax durin’ tha hook, and now, tha 1^st verse… It’s innocent for tha streetz, between tha bitches and shit you rappin’ about, not like on that song wit Gar! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too; I’m feelin’ tha “12” shit. Though you say you’ll “neva be a bitch,” don’t you think you grew a vagina on a bunch of these jointz, on here? I know tha streetz ain’t too happy! B Trez on tha 3^rd verse, and he sounds decent, at least. His voice reminds me of a drug-dealin’ version of Milo Sheff, someone from Hartford, CT I fuck wit. My Rating: 4.1

11. “Throw It”

Hmm… >>> Again, anotha normal-soundin’ joint; sounds like what you were used to! Catchy hook and track, even if it’s about “throwin’ 1’s!” Tha 1^st verse sounds good/jammin’; “rollin’ up a swisha!” Though you’re on you’re auto-tune shit fa this CD, I still wouldn’t mind hangin’ wit you, one day; I still think you cool as fuck! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, too; showin’ off everything you got, of course… I wonder how many times you make a “money” reference, throughout this CD? Even referencin’ “U.O.E.N.O.”, too, lol… My Rating: 4.0

12. “Kilos” Feat. Deezle

Yeah @ this title! >>> Kinda nervous ta hear, with you in tha background, here…; it makes me anticipate you bustin’ out in your a-tune voice… Well, finally, around :45, you came up from tha background, and it’s good rappin’ fa tha “kilos;” nice hook, too. Beat’s aight, here, though nothin’ that would capture me, like tha “Eastside Nikka” joint. Hearin’ Deezle on tha 2^nd verse, and he sounds like a Ya Boy Earl vs. Stalley, but wit some watered-down lyrics. Likin’ tha “kilos”-like shit, but forget tha “bread”… My Rating: 3.8

EDIT: Right when I finished tha review, M.I.A.’s “Y.A.L.A.” came on MCU. Much betta than this CD; maybe, you should take notes? “Weight in kilo, light as a pillow;” even on yo shit, too, wit tha “kilo!”

13. “All I Know” Feat. Greedi & Young Greatness

Neva heard tha features, before. Hope Greedi ain’t greedy, unless he ready ta spend buku money on me! >>> I dunno if I’m anticipatin’ one of tha DJs comin’ through wit tha “money” intro… Hearin’ you on tha hook, and although I like your flow/think it’s catchy, I dunno if I can take anotha “money” joint serious… Hook’s ehh; I guess I can fuck wit it, but just a lil’… Oh no, a dick entered your mouth on tha 1^st verse! Fuck! Or, iz this tha hook? Gettin’ confused ‘cause you keep sayin’ tha title… Now, 1:20 in, and we got (I assume) Greedi… Feelin’ tha “white, green, and brown” shit, and it’s soundin’ street, so far, so it really ain’t bad… Okay, so you rapped on tha 1^st verse, durin’ tha beginning, and tha dick-in-your-mouth shit’s tha hook; gay! Here’s tha 3^rd verse from tha otha feature (Young Greatness?). I like this voice and “whoot”/excited flow. Not too bad for a collaboration, overall, but tha hook makes me wanna take off points! My Rating: 2.2

14. “4 My Rounds”

I’m likin’ this title a lot; let’s see if it’s worth my 296 seconds of listening! >>> Sounds nice and slow; great, slow vibe on tha hook, here, “4 [your] rounds!” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and it sounds like some catchy “soulja shit” fa tha streetz, wit you rappin’ nice and slow. Kinda soundin’ like Weezy around 1:21 wit, “Ride for my nigga; die for my nigga,” wit tha voice. Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, too: “If I fuck wit you, I fuck wit you;” hope that’s tha case when you see this review! I’m still a fan of yours, regardless! Nice job wit tha 2^nd verse, too; keep it goin’! Tha 3^rd verse sounds good, too; sounds like a bridge wit tha repeatin’… It turned out to be a good verse, either way. My Rating: 4.1

15. “Bipolar AF” Feat. Mr. Grizzly 
Y’all forgot tha dot in “Mr”. Anyway, interestin’ title; I’m expectin’ some anger/paranoia-type shit! >>> “I don’t think I wanna thug no mo”? I got tha perfect thang fa this joint as feedback, right now:

  
Say hello to my toenails, right now! I think they’re worth more than this rating, smh!! You sound like a straight-up loser on this, wit wantin’ ta “quit” and shit! Funny how I expected “anger/paranoia-type shit,” and instead, it’s tha complete opposite! Plus, tha gay voice!! Well, at 1:13, it went back to normal, but, what, that’s, like, four bars? Eight? Whateva… Guess tha song in tha background on MCU’s smarter than you: Arctic Monkeys “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?”; at least there’s a “high” in that, not like this loser-soundin’, or should I say, “biploar AF” joint! But, Mr. Grizzly sounds good on tha 2^nd verse; nice grizzly voice, and he doesn’t sound like a loser, at least! I mean, at times, I’ve wanted to quit, but I would neva stop bein’ in this music business! There’s always some sorta talent I have that makes me continue! I can’t be defeated, no matter where my self-esteem’s at; I’m always grindin’! Anyway, this wasn’t really as bad as a 1.0-rated joint, since Grizzly did his thang, but tha whole subject of bein’ a “bipolar” loser makes me not feel this. If it’s one person that’s completely “bipolar”/“I don’t wanna [fill in tha blank], no mo,” it’s DJ B-Real; talk ta him, if he even answers people, anymore! My Rating: 1.6

Overall: Tha 2^nd ½ picked up, a lil’ but nothin’ really too exciting. Either way, most of this CD was pure trash!!! You really need ta get rid of tha a-tune, rap more about tha jiggaz again, instead of tha money, and have a higher self-esteem! You might need to buy some beats from me, or somethin’; maybe, I can revive your classic-soundin’ vibes! Get back on yo old shit, Shell!

Reviewed on 8.29.2013 (Review #1,311)

Got anotha review up next: DJ Hektik, Big Jay, DJ 5150, DJ Dow Jones & Dre - N.O. To The B.R. 10 (Hosted by Turk). Now, I thought I reviewed Vol. 10, which I thought was this: http://www.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/19819/no-to-the-br-10.html But, that’s just a Bayou Classic Edition. Now, I got tha real Vol. 10. Another thing: Why this CD 1:24:10? Doesn’t it suck to sell zero copies in tha streetz? Start Time: 12:09 PM | End Time: 12:52 PM

Link To CD: http://www.datpiff.com/Dj5150br-NO-to-the-BR-10-Hosted-By-Turk-mixtape.432358.html

01. Turk “Intro”

>>> Good intro, but there are three other DJs on here, Turk! My Rating: N/A

02. Turk Feat. Lil’ Wayne “Zip It”

>>> Wasn’t sure what to expect, but it sounds good wit zippin’ their “mouth!” Not really into Wayne, as always; nothin’ horrible, but nothin’ to listen to. Let’s see what (would’ve been) Turk’s comeback verse sounds like… Sounds like it’s on some 2010s, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony-type shit… I’ll give it props; good job, Turk. My Rating: 3.9

03. Ceto “40 On Me”

>>> Kinda sounds boring fa me, here; sounds like regular mainstream music on all levels… My Rating: 2.3

04. Calliope Var Feat. Goonie Gang “Money-Making Nigga”

>>> Not likin’ tha vocals on tha hook; Drake ain’t tha end of tha world!! Sounds way too much like his music, almost like a new version of “Forever”; yuck! …YUCK! But, since it’s Calliope’s song, I’ll peep out more… Here he iz on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some successful turnouts; I can feel tha rhymes, so there’s at least one plus. Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad, either. Other people can make this kinda music, and it’ll be boring. But, when it’s Calliope, I seem to be interested. My Rating: 2.9

05. Kevin Gates “Love Gates”

>>> Had no idea what this was ‘til I saw tha “Love” in tha title, again… “Love Gates” = “Love Sosa”. Well, not really into tha fast rappin’; startin’ ta not make sense, anymore. Not everyone’s Twista!! At least there’s a video fa this; makes things a lil’ betta, but still, a video for a jacked-beat song? Where’s tha original production when you need it! Gates need ta holla at me fa a video, but this music world’s so one-dimensional, aiming at what’s ‘cool,’ and there’s no room fa me! My Rating: 3.5

06. LG Feat. Curren$y “Battlefield”

>>> Good rhymes, here, but why so undefined wit this “battlefield”? Like, why can’t LG paint a complete picture, so I can learn about him? Either way, good job wit tha song, and Curren$y sounds good fa a collab. My Rating: 3.8

07. Clever Kev “King Tut”
>>> Gotta keep tha feedback real short ‘cause I still was neva called back fa dat interview I wanted, last year! Sounds like a freestyle, here; why does everyone have “niggaz,” homies, etc.? I’m 25, and I’ve neva had a friend I’ve known in person die, yet! Lucky? Good, here, but startin’ ta sound like braggin’ toward tha end… My Rating: 4.2

08. Juvenile Feat. Beat Docta “Blow My High”

>>> Sounds like randomness in tha hook, here… Okay, I can hear a clearer version of tha randomness at :27… Catchy hook; not bad… Feelin’ tha collaboration, here; agreessive, like when Magic was alive! My Rating: 4.0

09. 6 Ward Pook & Calliope Var “Downtown/Uptown Status”

>>> Sounds a lil’ like Mon Mack, here, in tha beginning (6 Ward Pook); catchy. Also, it almost sounds like a calmer version of tha “N.O. Anthem” Da U Boys came out wit, a few years back. Feelin’ how he comin’ through on tha beat, here; sounds consistent—dat 2010s N.O. shit I like. Calliope’s got a lotta freeing goin’ on, here. Ehh, I still don’t understand how dudes can like/support other dudes, since no one supports me, but it’s all good fa tha song, here. My Rating: 4.2

10. Ray Vicks Feat. Squirm G “Doin’ 2 Much”
>>> A good song; nothin’ really ta say, but y’all bling-blingin’ err-body out… My Rating: 3.8

11. Young D-Boy & Juvenile “On My Grind”
>>> Tha previous song was okay, and I had nothin’ ta really say. This iz on dat level, but a lil’ boring wit this ‘earnin’-money’ shit… Ehh, Juve, you sound like a ‘90s baby wit these ‘need-ta-get-money’ lyrics… My Rating: 2.6

12. Turk “Turk Speaks”

>>> Nice intermission! My Rating: N/A

13. Turk “Not Guilty”
>>> Short and sweet; sounds great wit tha aggression! My Rating: 4.1

14. Young Ready “Both Ways”

>>> Young Ready luvs his Q-Red! Sounds like some Badd Nooze-type delivery, here… This song sounds okay; nothin’ really special, here. Kinda sounds like ramblin’; I think that’s what y’all luv ta do now, right? My Rating: 3.7

½time: So far, it’s a decent CD; nothin’ I’m obsessed wit, yet, but it’s not wack. Matta fact, 3.6 iz tha CD rating, currently.

15. Sess 4-5 “So Much Money”

>>> VERY GAY HOOK/TOPIC!!! Was gonna try and tolerate it, but like Justine says, “Dump it!!” My Rating: 1.0

16. WeDatLoyalty “Knock It Off”
>>> Hmm, sounds fake ta me; sorry, I just can’t take tha “blood” shit serious, especially on a mainstream-soundin’, anthemic beat like this. Why does everyone “know some … niggaz”? I know no one!! My Rating: 1.0

17. Da U Boys “83”
>>> Not really into tha mainstream-soundin’ beat. Also, it’s boring fa a song/topic/delivery, overall. My Rating: 2.3

18. Ms. Tee “Wut’s Luv”

>>> Yes, a different vibe, finally!! Gotta feel tha bounce!! This CD needed an oasis in this desert of gettin’-money beats! Sometimes, tha bounce beats get boring afta a lil’ while, but this iz still nice ta hear. I like her singin’ throughout tha beat, sometimes, too… Oh, tha title took tha Tina Turner hook; kinda unoriginal fa me… My Rating: 3.8

19. Lil’ Razor Feat. Lil’ Dee “Fly Away”
>>> Okay, but iz that auto-tune, randomly? Skips! My Rating: 1.0

20. Big World Feat. Down Bad “Super Clean”
>>> Blast from tha past, here! Let’s see what 2012 sounds like… Piz Corleone on tha track; sounds good… Sounds good ta hear Big World, but why tha unenergetic flow? Where’s tha UGH, or tha UMMF, or tha AHHH?! Good parts from Terror & JR Dot, too. Too bad they’re quiet when gettin’ a hold of me when they have ta! Also, nice appearance from Cage! I wish Down Bad would quit bein’ quiet! Why iz quiet tha answer to bein’ cool? My Rating: 4.2

21. Tim Thugga Feat. K.Gates “That’s Fucked Up”

>>> Can’t give too much feedback ‘cause Tim Thugga wouldn’t dislike a video fa me that went against me when I asked him to, as well as no word on my awards, seven months later!! Well, this sounds good; betta than most on here. K.Gates sounds okay, but surprisingly, I have ta give it “up” ta Thugga, here; wow!! My Rating: 4.3

22. Turk Feat. Calico Jonez “I’m On”
>>> “Dump it!!” My Rating: 1.0

23. Fee Feat. Ray Vicks “Restless”

>>> A lil’ different wit dat background music bein’ sampled… Ehh, this iz okay; it’s tolerable… Tha sound iz what’s keepin’ my interest up. My Rating: 3.2

24. Dino Danja “Bitch-Ass Nigga”
>>> “This tha shit I don’t like;” didn’t that come from someone, like Drake? A lil’ typical wit tha flow, but tha rhymes sound good. Kinda random wit a freestyle, here. My Rating: 2.8

25. Spitta “All Around The Board”

Ewe, old! Why would you guys go back to that robbery, heroin-killing year of 2011 fa tha ‘12/‘13? My Current Rating: 4.4

26. Lil’ Mista “Bitch Bad”

>>> More randomness, which iz what I can expect from a lot of tha random artists on this mixtape… I guess, it’s a good song fa tha hoes, ‘90s baby style. My Rating: 3.8

28. Turk “Outro”
>>> Hope Turk’s upcomin’ music gon be good. I dunno if I’m anticipated fa anything new, though… My Rating: N/A

29. M-11 Spitta “M-11 Spitta”

>>> Anotha typical-soundin’, mainstream-like song, here… 2:30 went by, and I was lost in tha beat… My Rating: 2.0

Overall: Nothin’ really stood out fa me on this one. A lot of tha music sounded almost tha same. If not, there were trashy songs on here. I’m sure Vol. 11’s out by now (or soon). Guess I’ll have ta see if that has improvement. I also hate how everytime I review one of these N.O. To The B.R.s, there’s always someone on here that makes me feel uncomfortable. Like, they couldn’t do tha easiest favors for me, smh… That’s not how you gon get out tha south!!

Review #1,250: DJ 5150, DJ Hektik, Big Jay, DJ Dow Jones & Dre "N.O. To The B.R. (Bayou Classic Edition)"

Reviewed on 1.31.2013 (Review #1,250)

Keepin’ tha reviewz goin’ wit DJ 5150, DJ Hektik, Big Jay, DJ Dow Jones & Dre N.O. To The B.R. (Bayou Classic Edition). Looks like this anotha CD that sold 0 copies in tha streetz ‘cause tha length’s 1:40:35… Start Time: 2:13 PM | End Time: 3:00 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 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. K. Gates “The Wave”

Lookin’ forward to this new Gates…, 504 style, of course! >>> Sounds like a Superbowl party finna happen… Didn’t think this would be an interlude/skit; good shit, Gates! My Rating: N/A

02. K. Gates “BodyBag”

FlightSchool on tha beat, here! >>> Beat sounds kinda Ross-y for an original production… Ehh, it sounds great wit you rappin’ on it! Ooh, likin’ tha hook; you got a nice voice ta deliver this shit! Tha streetz must luv you!! Got mad respect for you, Gates!! Good 2^nd verse, too; lots of energy goin’ on, here!! My Rating: 4.5

03. Lil’ Boosie Feat. Savage & Money Bagz “Play It How It Go”

Lookin’ forward wit this Savage production and feature, although I would be more anticipated if it wasn’t a mainstream artist… >>> Was like, “This doesn’t sound like a Boosie song, luckily,” fa tha start. LOL, that’s Savage on tha 1^st verse; real nice! Doesn’t sound like his production; a lil’ on tha mainstream. A lil’ catchy on tha hook fa him, but he takin’ chances wit that voice effect on tha hook! Savage…, be careful! Boosie’s on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit regular shit; same thing wit Money Bagz… My Rating: 4.0

04. Calliope Var Feat. Ceto & Magnolia Chop “Hold It Down”
! >>> Good beginning from Magnolia Chop. In tha file info, you have two spaces separating Magnolia Chop’s name. Well, Savage took a chance wit tha a-tune on tha previous song; why do I gotta hear it on Magnolia Chop’s voice? SMH! Good 1^st verse, though; feelin’ tha energy fa tha streetz! Wow, tha ending was so horrible!!! Lots of points bein’ taken off, here!! My Rating: 2.3

05. L.C. & Giga Feat. Kevin Gates “The Mad House”
>>> Beat ain’t too bad; it has a Louisiana/225 feel to it… Tha hook sounds like somethin’ catchy for 2013… Giga’s on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit good energy. It reminds me a lil’ of when L.C. teamed up wit T-Dub fa some tracks. Hearin’ Kevin Gates on tha 2^nd verse and there’s a lotta braggin’ goin’ on; nice and consistent! L.C.’s on tha 3^rd verse, and it sounds good. This iz good for a song; kinda comes close to tha older shit he put out… My Rating: 4.2

06. K. Gates “The Wave Speaks (Interlude)”
Ooh, an interlude from tha Gatester—okay, that sounded a lil’ corny. Take 2: Ooh, an interlude from Mr. 504 Gates! >>> Good shit, Gates. My Rating: N/A

07. K. Gates “Bigalow”

FlightSchool doin’ more production, here! >>> This iz more of a Louisiana sound than tha previous FlightSchool production… Very consistent wit these rhymes; now, this iz what I call lyrical! Tha hook sounds kinda cool; almost reminds me of a Baton Rouge vibe! Nice 504 vs. 225-type joint, here, courtesy of just you, Gates! Good shit all tha way through, Gates!! My Rating: 4.6

08. Lit Blueblack & Ray Vicks “Street Beat Cha”

Surprised you know of this Blueblack over BluBlack; kinda doesn’t make sense… >>> Okay, but a lil’ street for me for a random rapper. This also sounds a lil’ too much like a Bad Azz Ent.-type joint… I do think tha hook’s a lil’ catchy, though. My Rating: 3.2

09. Lil’ Mista “Pop It For Wne”
I dunno if I’m in tha mood for a tribute song, right now… >>> Lyrics didn’t really fit tha title/hook durin’ tha 1^st verse. Iz that Magnolia Chop on tha hook? Of course, a song like this has ta have “fuckin’” in it, smh! Beat sounds tight, though. My Rating: 3.6

10. Fiend Feat. Mouse On Tha Track “Slap That Bitch”

Interestin’ collaboration, here, wit Mouse on tha beat. >>> Almost doesn’t sound like Mouse’s production, at first, ‘til I hear him rap. This sounds like a decent joint, overall. Good 1^st verse from Fiend, comin’ through wit some trap shit, wit a “bitch” in tha title, lol? My Rating: 3.7

11. T-Bo “Boune Dat Azz 2.0”

I prolly reviewed this already; I can’t tell ‘cause I’m not home and I deleted tha review of his ‘cause I don’t like how he blocked me from both Facebook & Twitter, after I stated my own opinion on his wack CD he put out! >>> My Current Rating: 4.2

12. K. Gates Feat. Bobby V & B-Raw “I Do That”

What’s wit tha collab? Anybody remember that Bobby Valentino goes by “Bobby V” now? >>> Yea, a lil’ random wit tha hook and tha singin’ from Bobby V… This sounds a lil’ too mainstream for me… However, tha 2^nd verse has better lyrics. My Rating: 3.3

13. Dino Danja Feat. K. Gates “In Gunz We Trust”

He had a “We Trust” song wit Lil’ Scottie, recently; iz this tha same song redone? >>> Still sounds good fa Danja’s part… Interestin’ that Gates joined Dino Danja on this shit; I’ll rate it betta than tha other version! My Rating: 4.3

14. Turk “Get Naked”
??? >>> Sounds like some good, gangsta shit. Because he’s been gone for so long, he’s kinda a faceless, voiceless rapper for me. I can’t picture what he looks like, nor do I remember how he sounds, at times… But, glad he still reppin’ dat G-shit, regardless! My Rating: 4.3

15. Lil’ Trill & Shell Feat. DJ B-Real “Lights Off”

SMH @ NOT LISTIN’ MY BIG DAWG, DJ B-REAL ON THA FEATURE!!! But, thumbs up for pickin’ tha best song off that CD! My Current Rating: 4.6

16. The Rap Pack Feat. A Bay Bay “Floatin’”
>>> Why tha “MM” tag in tha beginning? Feel like just skippin’ this! Interestin’ turnout: The Show rappin’? Thought it would be wack, but it’s not ‘cause of Show’s consistent rhymes… Tha hook sounds good, too; fast-movin’ Show, lol… Tha 2^nd verse sounds pretty consistent, too; nice turnout! My Rating: 4.2

17. Down Bad “Everybody”

Let’s see how this compares to “Bunz”. Of course, I have a feelin’ that “Bunz” was way better… >>> Ehh, a lil’ similar to Benjamin Racks & YaBoiBeezy’s “Everybody” wit tha beginning, but it’s soundin’ betta tha more I hear about “everybody,” lol! Rhymes are consistent, too; how much “everybody” can you get, lol? Very creative by findin’ so many different subjects!!! My Rating: 4.5

½time: Sounds like a good mixtape compilation, once again; 4.0 for tha CD rating, currently!

18. Young Ready “Feelin’ Like Boosie”

What’s wit tha old music? Betta yet, not-so-good music? My Current Rating: 2.8

19. Webbie “Undisputed”

G-Motive beat; have I heard before? Can’t keep up wit all these random songs from mainstream rappers, anymore… >>> Sounds random; good, but I’m not interested in mainstream rappers, at tha moment. My Rating: 3.8

20. RichKidd Jr. Feat. Choppa “Like Dat”

I liked Lil’ Junior betta for his name, but I guess this iz tha evolution of “dat.” >>> Good bounce music; nice collaboration wit Choppa! Even kickin’ it off wit Choppa doin’ tha 1^st verse; good shit ta keep tha party up! Got Lil’ Junior on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some party shit; same wit tha 3^rd verse, too! My Rating: 4.1

21. Keedey Black “Rock My World”

I remember this one from tha previous mixtape compilation. Though I don’t agree on havin’ tha same song on two different mixtapes, this chick did her thang wit this one! My Current Rating: 4.6

22. Tim Thugga “Blisted”

Why? >>> Decent/above average. However, looks like his dayz of gettin’ spins wit me and shit are effectively over. I haven’t heard from him about my 2012 awards in tha mail, either, so he might be completely over fa me! My Rating: 3.9

23. K. Gates “Bub Story”

Interestin’ title. >>> Nice rhymes; really likin’ all tha not “givin’ a fuck, fuck” shit on tha hook! Keep up tha rappin’; you fuckin’ rule!! Woo @ tha 2^nd verse; gonna increase my rating fa all this consistent, lyrical shit!!! My Rating: 4.5

24. Curren$y Feat. Young Roddy “Ex Girls”

I recognize tha feature, but I think this iz a new song… >>> Anotha nice, laidback joint from $pitta; nice rhymes and as always, great voice fa dis shit! Promising hook about, “I can still fuck all of my ex girls,” lol. Young Roddy doesn’t sound that bad on tha 2^nd verse, too; nothin’ disappointin’, here… My Rating: 4.1

25. A-One (Wissel) “F.U.C.K.”
How will this hold up against tha Curren$y joint, sayin’ he wanted to “fuck all his ex girls”? >>> Why a “MM” intro? Turn-off!!! Not feelin’ this beat, and tha rhymes are okay. However, I like tha title part in tha hook; more on tha “keep a choppa” tip than fuckin’, I guess? My Rating: 3.4

26. Jason Lyric “Might Not Make It”

Heard this one already from his CD. My Current Rating: 3.7

27. Sess 4-5 Feat. 6 Ward Pook & Sino “So Much Money”

Like tha artists, but I don’t like tha title… >>> Bullshitty hook… Ehh, not really for me, but it’s not terrible, since y’all keep it street. My Rating: 3.5

28. K. Gates “Splittin’ It (Spitarillo Anthem)”
!! >>> Really slow vibe; nice! Tha flow sounds nice and interestin’! However, tha flow on tha hook’s startin’ ta sound like a bullshit jacked song, smh! Despite tha flow, I’m feelin’ tha perspective you bringin’ to tha table, Gates! Gotta always light a spliff, right? Not feelin’ tha background vocals! Reminds me of Ca$h Out-type bullshit! Very mixed review, here; I think it was more negative than positive… My Rating: 3.2

29. Lee Banks “Fuck Wit Me”
>>> Started off tha bat. Not writin’ down lyrics “since 2010”? I think that’s a weakness for memorable songs, now. I could neva picture me rappin’ about tha houses in Hollywood, FL without writin’ it down… Either way, this iz only about lyrics; nothin’ special for a song, overall. My Rating: 3.5

30. Rudye Feat. Bengie Bee & J Fletcha “Hood Knocking”

Thumbs up fa some Rudye! >>> Nice start from Rudye! I feel anticipated and locked-in!! Yes, light tha “dutch,” Rudye! Light it!! Great 1^st verse, givin’ you a day in tha life in tha streetz wit Rudye! Feelin’ tha hook, too; glad you consistently reppin’ for tha “hood,” here, Rudye!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit Bengie Bee on tha 2^nd verse… Not really into tha Eazy-E jacked shit, as well as tha “money” shit. Ehh, could’ve gotten a better feature, but it iz what it iz, I guess? Cut scene in tha middle… Oh, J Fletcha on tha 3^rd verse? Not listed in tha feature…? Thought I might’ve heard this, since it’s on some The Hallows-type shit, but it’s still good to hear Fletch randomly appear… My Rating: 4.4

31. Puppy Feat. Nu$$ie “Going Nu$$ie”

Looks like somethin’ I would skip… >>> Not as bad as I thought, but let him R.I.P.! Not even really a feature; just a lil’ sample part in tha hook! What a rip-off for what I expected!! Also, how dickrided iz this: Tha intro and outro don’t have any blendin’, mixin’, or any cut-offs goin’ on; why wasn’t it mixed together? This izn’t somethin’ to have stand out! My Rating: 3.2

32. B.G. & Gar “Real Is Back”

Not really into this title, but I know they don’t disappoint. >>> Beat’s nice; good shit from both Gizzle & Gar! Gar’s real consistent on this beat; thumbs up!! My Rating: 4.2

33. 31^stDeedy Feat. K. Gates “Makin’ A Dollar”

LOL, what, did K. Gates find everyone from tha previous N.O. To The B.R.s and hook up wit them from Baton Rouge? >>> Beginning sounds okay, but I’m not into this kinda rap music about money! However, K. Gates has a verse that’s soundin’ pretty-good, here… My Rating: 3.0

34. 6^th Ward Pook Feat. Skipp Bullet “Fuck Somethin’”

Skip wit one “P” or Skipp wit two “P”s, tha way you have it? *Checks Google* Oh, it’s not “Skipp & Bullet”, it’s “Skipp Bullet”, without an “and!” >>> Not bad for tha beginning and hook; this iz okay, although I don’t usually expect this kinda shit fa a New Orleans artist… Oh wait, I hear Skip (one “P”) on tha 2^nd verse; I’m confused… Maybe, I’ll keep it tha way you have it, 5150, except take tha extra “P” outta Skip’s name… My Rating: 3.6

Overall: Turned out to be more decent than usual, although there were still tha hot jointz on here…
