I
got my old mini DV tapes converting/resizing on my MacBook, so instead of
sittin’ around and doin’ nothin’, I gon do some reviewz, now that I have tha
chance… This first one for today iz Young
Ready Family Ties (Hosted by DJ Wookee),
off of B.O.W. Entertainment & Crook Muzik Music Group! Originally, I wasn’t
supposed to review this CD ‘til I got a hard copy in tha mail from Wook.
However, by me bein’ a curious dickhead at times, as well as my free time, I’m
like, “Okay, I’ll just review it.” Start
Time: 1:04 PM | End Time: 1:47 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.
“Intro”
Production
from J.Scalez, here (or, Jay Scales, as he’s spelled on tha back cover). How
will we start this off? By tha length, it looks like rapping’ll be in this
intro! >>> Now, “Racked-Up Ready”? I rather Young Ready; no need for
anotha money name to ruin anotha person’s name! Speakin’ of tha names, what
about tha most-important dude in Louisiana?
Known as DJ B-Real!! Good intro from Wookee; what do I gotta do to get a shout
out? What’s up wit tha “Crook Muzik Music Group” tags? Sounds like dicksuckin’
wit how it sounded! Gay!! Anyway, you doin’ a good job rappin’ about these hoes
on this Scalez beat! Nice lil’ “Solo Mafia … shout out ta Savage” part! Of
course, gotta give tha king a shout out! Bad ending with tha “liking all my
pics” and “I ain’t droppin’ my prices” lines. No need for social media, since I
rarely hear from you (I still don’t have your # in 2013, after knowin’ you for
five years?), as well as people shouldn’t charge! Collabs are only meant for
mutual friendships! My Rating: 4.2
02.
“Yeah I’m In This Bitch” Feat. Savage
Ooh,
yes! Savage on tha beat, too!! >>> “Mobb shit, biatch!!” Nice lil’
hook, here, ova this nice-soundin’, neva-weak beat!! Sav on tha 1st
verse; very consistent wit tha rhymes!! So much ta offer on tha 1st
verse, here; real nice job, Sav!!
Here’s Ready on tha 2nd verse… Good; can’t complain. Nice endin’
skit dat leads into tha next song… My
Rating: 4.5
03.
“Insurance Policy”
Scalez,
provide some nice “insurance” shit fa Ready!! >>> LOL, nice rhymes,
“insurance” style! I know Wook send me this song ta listen to; I remember that
catchy hook! “Cancel his Christmas;” sounds like I heard this before, but in
case I ain’t review it, I have ta say, that’s a pretty gutta/serious rhyme! Tha
2nd verse sounds nice, too; consistency at its finest! My Rating: 4.5
04.
“Sosa Beat”
Ehh,
a jacked beat… >>> Not bad, but if you got all original production,
there’s really no need for these jacked beats, especially in 2013? Also, why
all tha female rhymes? Gangstas don’t spit a ton of rhymes about
females; just stick to tha hood! “My Instagram dumb;” nah, no social network
references… Where’s Zeus when you need him? He ain’t all ova tha net, and his
street credibility iz tha answer why! My
Rating: 3.4
05.
“Fast Lane” Feat. Danarryl Von
AJC
(Tha Kidd AJC?) on tha beat, here… Lookin’ forward to hearin’ this
collaboration! >>> Gay vocal start wit this random singer; yuck… Not
really off to a good start wit tha rhymes, either, wit tha “countin’ money”
shit. When will “money” be faggy to rap about—oh wait, it iz…, but it has to go
away!!! Damn, not anotha “costin’ a fee” reference when it comes ta “a verse or
a hook.” Ready, why would you want a random white dude wit no street cred on your
songs? Like, if he paid you a stack; doesn’t make sense! MUTUAL FRIENDSHIPS ONLY when collaborating on your songs! LOL @ all those “mollys,” for a song like this? Weird…
Funny how you said, “Murdafeen,” too (or, did you say, “murda fiend”)? Either
way, it’s like a reference to my boy, Murdafeen, so props ta that! My Rating: 2.1
06.
“I’m The Truth” Feat. Mista Cain
Not
sure who this Yella dude iz on tha beat… However, let’s see what we got wit
this… >>> Random excitement in tha beginning; wonder when all that
excitement’ll be aimed toward me? Either way, this sounds like one of tha
best-soundin’ beats on this CD, so far! Nice job from tha unknown producer!!
Good job wit tha hook, too… Got Lil’ Mista on tha 1st verse, here…
Just rhymes; that’s it. Here you are on tha 2nd verse… Of course,
anotha female reference (“yo bitches got my thang up”); yawn… Also, “money”
shit… Again, it’s just rhymes; doesn’t grab my heart’s attention… My Rating: 4.1
½time: So far, this iz a good
CD; gotta give you more props for keepin’ ‘em comin’… Currently, 3.8 iz
tha value of this CD; how will it continue?
07.
“Guap Beat”
>>>
Thought this was an interesting beat start ‘til I saw that it wasn’t even an
original beat, smh. Bad intro, here, wit all this social networking shit. I
gotta give you props fa retweeting my tweets, but wit 1,300 reviewz in, tons of
exposure, videos, five years of knowin’ you and more, I should be important ta
you automatically, without me havin’ to do all tha initial work… But, I’m not
feelin’ tha 1st verse, either; sounds like you’re tryna sell out wit
all this “Hold Dat Noise” ‘legend-in-your-own-mind’ perspective, and tha
“phone” shit. Well, overall, tha lyrics were trash for me; not too much for me
to get excited about, here… My Rating: 2.0
08.
“Freestyle” Feat. Lee Banks
An original production wit “Freestyle” as tha title? Boo on tha production;
glad ta hear him again… However, you prolly could’ve had a better title fa
this… Maybe, have tha jacked beats have “Freestyle” in their titles…?
>>> Good start from Wookee on tha intro, as well as Banks with his
consistent rhymes… Iz it me, or iz everyone a father in Louisiana, at a young age? I guess my
patience with all that heavy sex shit keeps my consistency goin’. If I was a
dad, I dunno if my consistency would continue. I feel like there’s too much
distraction. Like, you’re 50% rapper/50% dad; 100% focus iz impossible…, unless
you’re real bad on tha other end! Here you are on tha 2nd verse… An
okay start ‘til you started talkin’ ‘bout your mysterious “phone,” that I neva talked to on. Tha only one I talked
to on was Savage’s, back in November 2008. Rhymes, here, are just rhymes;
nothin’ special. Why 4:38 for a freestyle? Shouldn’t it be 2:30 less? My Rating: 3.6
09.
“Fuck A Nigga” Feat. Dundray & Lil’ Juice
Got
Dundray on tha beat, too… >>> Why tha beat tag in tha beginning? When
will people learn, instead of
followin’ all these stupid trends? But, tha beat don’t sound that bad… This
sounds betta than some of tha shit on here; doesn’t even fit on this CD ‘cause
of how it has a Baton Rouge sound on it, where this CD’s
not really 100% Baton Rouge, fa me… Hearin’ this 1st verse, and it
sounds good fa tha vibe… “Free my nigga M Dot & free my nigga 4;” glad M
Dot’s outta jail, now! Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse… Betta rhymes
from you. I wonder if you’ll be shoutin’ me out when I’m long gone. “When I
heard dat shit ‘bout Mista, I could’ve fuckin’ cried;” wow, lots of emotion,
here! I dunno who’ll “cry” fa me; I don’t even think I have value to anyone…
Well, maybe to B-Real; that’s prolly it… Others, I prolly don’t know about…
Back to tha song, we got tha 3rd verse, and it sounds like tha dude
on tha 1st verse; that good vibe from tha 1st verse,
continuing… Does everyone have friends or somethin’? I don’t know anyone that
doesn’t say, “Free,” somebody. I guess it’s Lil’ Juice ‘cause they said, “Rest
in peace Lil’ Dundray.” My Rating: 4.3
10.
“Understanding Beat”
Noooooooooooo…………………
>>> I take off for pre-pasted hooks, too… This ain’t for me at all;
why this soft, female shit?! Mixtape, or album?! Fuck, anotha “phone” line!!
Ahh, I can’t tolerate these rhymes any longer (2nd verse)!! My Rating: 1.1
11.
“Look How That Ass Movin’” Feat. Dundray
Lil’ Ken beat, but why this topic?! >>> Anotha really good-soundin’ beat,
but I swear, this doesn’t sound like it belongs on this CD! This belongs on,
like, a Pyrex Radio edition or
somethin’! Almost thought that was Mista on tha 1st verse, but I
guess it’s Lil’ Dundray, comin’ through wit some Mista-soundin’ rhymes… Hey, why
this beat sound like DJ B-Real & Zeus’ “It’s Nothin’” off dat Pay Da Producer Vol. 1 CD? Its format iz
very similar, hence their similar
lengths, too! Anyway, here you are on tha 2nd verse, Ready, but why
a reversed word (“Ferneshia”? A name?)? Damn, anotha “call” reference; why?!
Either way, I enjoyed this one… My
Rating: 4.4
12.
“So What” Feat. C-Loc
Endin’
it with a production from… fuck, no one! >>> Good start wit Loc on tha
hook, but damn, anotha female reference? I didn’t know hoes were tha essence of
keepin’ it 100% street, smh?! Too commercial wit these rhymes from Loc, here,
on tha 1st verse and hook… Jumpin’ right inta tha 2nd
verse wit you, Ready; let’s see how much longer ‘til a female—“jump from dick
ta dick;” okay, somethin’ came up before I could even finish my sentence, smh…
I like tha “Toni Braxton” reference about hittin’
“a note,” but too many female references, once again… My Rating: 3.7
Overall: I think I know why Wookee
didn’t send me a hard copy of this… I almost thought this was a compilation CD,
but it’s just about average for a CD rating; nothin’ spectacular for me… My
suggestion for you on future music: Please,
don’t go by “Racked-Up Ready;” don’t need anotha artist turning watered-down
with a money name! One artist I talked to had a cool name, but then, they
turned it into “G-Money”. I swear, I don’t think I wanna even hear their music
anymore; I have a unique mind that doesn’t follow others, so I don’t fuck wit
typical shit that everyone ‘likes’. Next, if you keepin’ it all tha way street,
you need to let go of a bunch of tha female references. Almost every song on
this CD had a female reference. Like, where’s tha “Gangsta Bow” shit, or tha
shit with Zeus that I grew up to? DJ B-Real gangsta vibes? Maybe, you gotta go
back to Camp Life Entertainment again? Or betta yet, just wait for my new album
to come in tha future (this year or next year), about news stories in my life!
Hope you take these considerations serious… Whether or not I eva hear from you
through tha phone again, I just know that I’ll be gettin’ a job in tha video
world, real soon, so there might not be anymore phone calls with me… I’ll be
communicating with people who write me back and check out my shit!
