Austin Rashaad Norwood, betta known in tha undaground of Baton Rouge, LA as Austin On Tha Track, was fatally shot and killed in tha 1900 block of tha Ardenwood Village apartments on North Ardenwood Drive on Thursday, August 10, 2017, at around 7 PM. According to investigators, Norwood was with someone when they went to meet up with whom they were going to sell a phone to. Tha sale was arranged online and as they were sitting in his vehicle, tha unidentified robbers opened fire on them, killing Norwood and wounding tha other victim, who is expecting to survive. At this time, tha suspect iz yet to be identified; Norwood was only 22 years-old.

Norwood was a part of tha Baton Rouge, LA group, Off Tha Meter, which was formed in 2008 by Norwood & his brother, Garin, also known as Gee Money Pimpin'.

Review #1,593: Doddie Savage "Savage 101: Roll Call"

Reviewed on 11.09.2016 (Review #1,593)

Here comes my next review, suggested by my boy, B-Don: Outta Baton Rouge, presented by YBN, it’s Doddie Savage Savage 101: Roll Call; here we go! Start Time: 4:20 PM | End Time: 5:12 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 and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “Intro”
>>> Beat sounds nice; great energy you’re providin’ to tha table, here! Tha verse sounds pretty serious fa tha Rouge streetz! My Rating: 4.2

02. “Bag” feat. Scotty Cain, Shon’Thang & Manu Gotti

Let’s hear it! >>> Austin doin’ tha beat, here; let’s see how it go… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds too much like K Camp’s song from last year, with Sauce Walka, only faster: “A Bag”! Either way, I’m kinda diggin’ this 2K16 version… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ good; consistent rhymin’ at its finest! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ good, too; “police” chase-type rappin’! And, tha 3^rd verse’s pretty nice, too… Lots of consistent rappin’, again! Even tho it sounds nice, because it’s about money, I prolly won’t pay too much attention to it after this review… A 4^th verse with only 27 seconds left…; ehh, too much “bandz” shit! My Rating: 3.8

03. “Flava” feat. AustinOnThaTrack & GeeMoneyPimpin’

>>> Beat sounds cool with those keys… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s simple but good; nice slow vibe, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it nice, even tho tha content of ‘I’m tha shit/you suck’ iz played out… This track really 4:58? Why? Whoeva on tha 2^nd verse sound like they suck a dick in tha beginning, like it almost sounds like auto-tune, smh? After that, it ain’t too bad; just tha beginning threw me off… Tha rest of it decent, but nothin’ special; just anotha feature… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s whateva; nothin’ much ta say about this… Prolly coulda avoided tha “watch out, lil’ bih” shit; no need to reference/quote! My Rating: 3.6

04. “Let Me Get It”
>>> I have a feelin’ this gon suck… Beat sounds like it gon be cool, even tho tha first few seconds threw me off… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ decent… Rhymes aren’t anything special; just sounds like an okay, southern, undaground, Baton Rouge rap song… Hearin’ tha hook and it decent; nothin’ special… Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse and you just spittin’ random rhymes, here… Now, tha endin’ startin’ ta suck wit tha dick-suckin’ vocal shout outs! Lemme decrease my rating! My Rating: 3.4

05. “Something” feat. Dame Corleone

>>> Diggin’ tha street vibe in tha beat, here, from Austin; definitely nice! Feelin’ tha undaground vibe with tha hook, too, holdin’ shit down! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice; aggression at its finest! See, this sounds betta than tha random yada-yada previous song! Aggressive wit tha “boomerang!” Even got it goin’ on wit tha “out his drawers;” shit’s real! Hearin’ Dame on tha 2^nd verse and he sound decent, even tho I’m diggin’ how he comin’ through on this beat… And, tha 3^rd verse pretty serious; went all tha way till tha end! My Rating: 4.3

06. “Slangin’ Ks”

>>> Austin doin’ anotha track for ya, here, kickin’ off wit a hook? Now, back to tha beginning… Feelin’ tha energy and tha shit you bringin’ to tha table in tha 1^st verse, here; good shit… Tha aggression continues right before tha hook; good shit! Nice job with tha 2^nd verse, too…; consistent and aggressive! My Rating: 4.1

07. “StandDown” feat. Manu Gotti, Scotty Cain & Dame Corleone

>>> Consistent-soundin’ hook, here, with all kinds of energy ova this Baton Rouge-type beat! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s that quality Baton Rouge music at its finest! G-shit! Y’all sound good on tha 2^nd verse, too, puttin’ it “down!” My Rating: 4.2

½time: Definitely feelin’ tha energy and aggression brought to tha table, here, fa tha 225! Nice job! A 3.9-rated CD, currently; keep it goin’!

08. “IonFuckAround”
>>> Definitely feelin’ tha beat, here, but tha background vocals, you gotta teach that dude not to suck a fuckin’ dick!! Austin doin’ tha track… Hearin’ tha hook and everything decent, except tha stupid-ass background vocals!! Yeah, fuck givin’ feedback on this. Just know that tha rappin’ decent; just hate tha background vocals!! What a way to ruin a good beat!! My Rating: 3.2

09. “YoungBossNigga” feat. Mitchy Mitch

>>> Anotha trashy song! Beat sounds like everything out right now, not even on a Baton Rouge tip! Tha hook repetitive and sounds stupid with tha voice… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and all this rappin’ decent; doesn’t have ta be fast! Not feelin’ how that dude comin’ through on tha 2^nd verse, all about “money” and shit, non-stop, smh… My Rating: 2.2

10. “Call Me”
>>> Anotha stupid song!! Why tha auto-tuned, dick-suckin’ vocals on tha hook?!? Not my cup of tea with tha content of love songs, also! Whateva, whateva, whateva @ tha fast-rapped 1^st verse… And, what am I ‘pose ta say about tha 2^nd verse? No comment… My Rating: 1.1

11. “Forever”
>>> Tha less this sounds Baton Rouge-like, tha less I have interest in… Not diggin’ this Future vibe at all! Hook’s pretty boring; sounds like everything in tha mainstream! Tha 1^st verse ehh…; no interest… Tha 2^nd verse iz you representin’ for ya peeps; that’s it… My Rating: 2.0

12. “StruggleMusic”
>>> I gotta build my interest back fa this CD ‘cause I lost it… Beat ain’t too bad fa tha south and how you comin’ through on tha 1^st verse with your real rhymes’ nice. However, these “struggle” songs ain’t really fa me… Tha hook sound cool ta flow with tha verses, but that’s about it… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it decent, too, holdin’ ya hood down… My Rating: 3.1

13. “Leave Dat Nigga” feat. Scotty Cain & Manu Gotti

>>> Austin beat; this sounds betta on tha hook, here… Tha beat pretty nice; let’s see how tha verses do… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and tha energy/aggression’s back! Nice job wit this shit! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty nice, too, keepin’ tha vibe up… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s soundin’ good; jammin’ ova this beat! My Rating: 4.1

14. “Shakeout” feat. Dame Corleone & Scotty Cain

>>> Anotha Austin track; shit sounds nice! I’m likin’ this one betta! This sounds pretty nice on tha hook, here! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty tight, too! Now, this a song fa tha ladies! This how it’s done! Not that slow shit! Not that get-a-female-to-sing/rap-on-tha-track shit! This! Club shit! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, but I’ono how much I can fuck wit tha “1,000 $1’s” shit to tha ladies. It’s like, that money should go to me! I come before any female!! And, tha 3^rd verse pretty serious, too; good shit! Ehh, “500 $1’s;” same thang!! My Rating: 4.3

15. “Oh Yeah”
>>> Endin’ wit a shitty song? Only 1:55? At least this’ll go fast! I hear tha dick-on-dick suckin’ in tha beginning, here! Ugh!! Sounds like a “Panda” flow, at times! Then, there’s noise-soundin’ shit and shit! Naw!!! Fuck naw!!! No comment on tha verse; was this even called for? My Rating: 1.0

Overall: I’ono, I’ont think this review should’ve had tha certification ta start at 4:20! Almost thought it was gonna end at 5:10 and be ironic (my brother’s death date time), but it was 5:12, smh! Half of this CD wasn’t really for me. Too many annoying vocal parts, some mainstream-soundin’, non-Louisiana shit, but for tha other half, there were them tight, aggressive tracks for tha clubs. Still, not enough to be good fa me!
