Review #1,310: DJ 5150, DJ Hektik, DJ S.R. & DJ Victoriouz "Trap City 17 (Hosted by Kevin Gates)"

Reviewed on 8.29.2013 (Review #1,310)


Continuin’ wit my reviewz, I got DJ 5150, DJ Hektik, DJ S.R. & DJ Victoriouz Trap City 17 (Hosted by Kevin Gates) up next. Lookin’ at some of tha artists on here, I think I wanna throw up, in a mainstream way. I’m not lookin’ forward ta this review, especially since it sold NO COPIES in tha streetz (it bein’ 1:26:55 long)! Why too long?? Start Time: 11:04 AM | End Time: 11:34 AM


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!!

© 2013 CD Review (Review #1,310) reviewed on 8.29.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Kevin Gates “Intro”
I’m prolly peepin’ this mixtape out only ‘cause Gates’ hostin’ it…, just to catch up on my reviewz. Then again, why must I hear dickrided versions of him anyway? >>> Ding. LOL @ how his “P” in “pussies” popped, lol! My Rating: N/A


02. Kevin Gates Feat. Flow “Retawded 4 Real”
My Current Rating: 3.0


03. DJ Scream Feat. 2 Chainz, Future, Waka Flocka, Yo Gotti & Gucci Mane “Hoodrich Anthem”
Yeah, right! 1.0, I see it!! I remembered when DJ Scream found me, back when I had a website in ’05, mainly ‘cause I was bumpin’ his Only The Crunk Survive Vol. 8 with Trillville on my playlist (back when whole CDs counted on my playlists. Now, it’s individual songs picked by me):
Then again, he could’ve gotten someone like Killa Kyleon on this. Oh, not lookin’ forward… >>> Beat can be good, but no way am I diggin’ this 2 Chainz shit, followed by masturbating-in-a-dude’s-ear-with-how-I-sound Future. So far, hearin’ Waka on tha hook (or 3rd part), it sounds tha best outta tha three. Yo Gotti’s next (what’s with tha weird order? I think I should fix it. Anyway, he ain’t too bad… Gucci’s 5th; nothin’ special. He’s so ’04 fa me. Not as bad as I thought, but still, not my style for my playlist. My Rating: 2.3


04. Mikewillmadeit Feat. T.I., Juicy J & Trae Tha Truth “Fight”
*Yawn* Wouldn’t’ve known who Mike WiLL Made It was, if I reviewed this on time, last year. >>> What’s with tha gay, masturbating-in-a-dude’s-ear dude goin’, “World Premiere,” in tha background? I think I just wanna skip it based off this garbage! No thanks! Skimmin’ through tha song, and it’s still goin’ almost three minutes in! My Rating: 1.0


05. Gunplay Feat. Rick Ross “Real Niggas”
Anything Ricky, I feel like skippin’… But, I’ll review it just to see where it scores in my book. >>> Yea, I can’t tolerate this; this kinda title/topic’s why tha hip-hop game’s so fake and fucked up!! My Rating: 1.0


06. Waka Flocka Feat. Sony “24Hrs”
Him again?? >>> Boring “money” song, again, as well as bein’ in tha studio fa “24 hours,” puttin’ quantity ova quality; next! My Rating: 1.1


07. OJ Da Juiceman Feat. Lil’ Dre “Larry Bird”
Looks catchy, but OJ’s been kinda inactive for a minute… >>> His drug shit’s kinda boring by now; needs a new sound! Anotha new term; very random fa me… But, gotta luv your “wrist,” right? My Rating: 1.8


08. Ray Vicks Feat. Rambo & Squirm Gee “No Tomorrow”
Looks familiar, but let’s just go… >>> Not feelin’ tha typical-soundin’ beat, here. Kinda sounds like tha other ones on here, and this ‘pose ta be a Louisiana artist! Not too much into tha lyrics, either; I seem to like tha voices betta, surprisingly. My Rating: 2.4


09. Eldorado Red Feat. Bambino Gold “A Day In Da Crest”
Finally, layin’ off tha mainstream fucks! >>> Damn, all these songs are startin’ ta sound tha same!! This one’s just better than tha others, though; nice 2nd verse wit dat voice… My Rating: 3.4


10. Bambino Gold Feat. Alley Boy “Graduated”
>>> S-to-tha-A-to-tha-M-to-tha-E; rhymes with L-to-tha-A-to-tha-M-to-tha-E!!! Well, not that lame, but this shit gets boring afta a while… See, like when I was talkin’ about Only The Crunk Survive Vol. 8, at least tha hyped-up vibe had great-soundin’ beats and different voices! My Rating: 3.1


11. Rockie Fresh Feat. Rick Ross “You A Lie”
Nooooooooooooooooo…………………… >>> Tha slow vibe’s okay, but why am I wasting my time with this? Sick of these songs where men are hatin’ otha men; why can’t people be in this together?!? My Rating: 1.3


12. Future Feat. Laudie “Diamonds”
I’m just skippin’ this, right? >>> Yup, after four seconds! My Rating: 1.0


½time: Really bad compilation, so far; almost everything sounds tha same, and tha mainstream shit ruins tha ratings, for me… Currently, 1.9 for tha CD rating.


13. Big Bank Black Feat. Trouble & Alley Boy “Kickin’ N Pimpin’”
Not sure what ta say… >>> Memphis in tha building? Sounds like Yo Gotti, here and there… Nothin’ special, but not tha worst fa me. My Rating: 2.0


14. Kevin Gates “Goin’ Supa”
Don’t think I’ve heard ‘cause of tha DJ B-Real production credits listed. Really? 2012 and tha two of them are pumpin’ somethin’? What’s tha hold-up of them makin’ a whole CD together? Weird world we live in!! >>> “Pick up Lil’ Mista;” damn, obsession outta nowhere? Not sure how you dudes agree with each other when it comes ta things! “Now, it’s 25 fa B-Real ta hit tha track up;” oh, so that line came from this… He said that to me. I luv how he’s obsessed with you, Gates, secretly! Guess I gotta get inta robbin’ people and sellin’ drugs—which’ll neva be me—if I wanna buy a beat from him, smh! As short as this song iz, it sounds good fa what it iz. A lil’ random wit tha content; sounds like Bubba borrowed some of this fa his “Retarded”, wit how he says: “My kick game retarded; my whip game retarded.” Beat sounds good, too; almost sounds like someone fartin’, here and there. My Rating: 4.1


15. Lil’ Reese & Chief Keef “Rap Shit”
Would’ve neva heard Chief Keef if I reviewed this on time, also. Then again, with Young Chop on tha beat, umm… >>> A lil’ boring fa tha start wit tha hook… Yea, boring content; I’m just gonna skip ‘cause 210348713012831203912381203913012309 rappers talk about hatin’ dudes, things bein’ so easy, and all dat boring blah-blah-yada! My Rating: 1.4


16. Sy Ari Da Kid “You’ll Think”
Two apostrophes (or a quote) in tha title? Incorrect! Beat Zombies beat… >>> Different how he sounds on tha mic—wait, here come tha regular vocals at :41… This iz boring, but a lil’ betta than usual. Some consistent punchlines, but I can’t learn about anyone wit these typical, one-dimensional rhymes! My Rating: 1.9


17. Bambino Gold Feat. Lil’ Phat “Rarri”
After-dying music, it looks like, ‘cause it wasn’t in my tribute video… >>> Nothing special fa tha beginning/hook… Still, Lil’ Phat’s voice sounds real weird fa these kinda street tracks… Sounds like it’s meant ta be funny than serious… Hearin’ Bambino on tha 2nd verse… Okay, a lil’ catchy wit how he delivers tha rhymes. Still, WTF wit tha “money” obsessions? Why does every fuckin’ song have ta have “money” in it? “Money [iz] shit” fa everyone!!! My Rating: 2.5


18. Master P Feat. T.E.C. “Duffle Bag”
Not lookin’ forward to tha feature/title… >>> Ehh, beats are okay, but Master P, you’re in your mid-40s, and this what you rappin’ ‘bout? Guess tha hood’s tha same, no matter where you go, or what you “got!” Boring topic and gay, repetitive hook about “money!!!” Damn @ T.E.C. on tha 2nd verse; can’t listen ta these “stacks!!!” My Rating: 1.0


19. Big Jay Pyrex Feat. Shell (Young Thugga) & Savage “Solo”
Good find; would’ve been an exclusive if I would’ve heard this CD first! Did a live review for Lil’ Trill & Shell; real glad I did it! Was so far, DJ B-Real’s last time at showin’ my videoz with him in it luv! But really, B-Real, tha live review was almost 100 minutes long! How you get all dat time ta watch it in 2012? Oh, tha 2012 dayz!! No wonder why this year sucks!! I describe this year as I’ve eaten someone’s diarrhea & was forced ta enjoy it!! #changegoncome My Current Rating: 4.5


20. Calliope Var Feat. Young Roddy “Redemption”
I’ll just consider most of these jointz songs I’ve neva heard before… >>> Intro sounds more like what Master P should’ve been on, here. Guess he gotta take notes from Calliope Var fa tha 2012 & beyond? Rhymes are good from Calliope, here, on tha 1st verse! Feelin’ how he comin’ through wit it… Got Young Roddy on tha 2nd verse… A lil’ boring wit tha content and delivery; nothin’ horrible, though, except tha “money” obsessions. Keepin’ this goin’ wit tha 3rd verse from Calliope, here, and it sounds good, just like tha 1st verse. My Rating: 3.8


21. Kevin Gates “Satellite”
It was dry when I first heard it, but because it made MTV Jams for one day, and Music Choice: Hip-Hop And R&B twice, I liked it a lil’ more, and it even made it to my playlist. I think tha 2013-released version sounded better, though they nearly sound tha same? I know this 2012 right here… My Current Rating: 3.6


22. Fat Trel “Where We Go”
>>> Already off to a gay start wit, “I got my money,” ta start tha song off… Hook sounds catchy wit how it’s delivered, but since it’s money-related, I’ll just end my review fa this song here. My Rating: 1.5


23. Trouble “Molly World”
Now, I know who this iz. Also, wouldn’t’ve known what them mollies were, at this time. Only knew Cedric Gervais and his “Molly”, or Sheen~Marie and her “On Molly” (I think Sheen debuted it for me?). >>> Yeah, Cedric Gervais “Molly” just came on Music Choice: Dance, ironically!! Magic!! Then again, wit this song, complete trash!! Sounds like he poppin’ masturbatin’-in-anotha-dude’s-ear pillz wit this gay voice!! You sure those aren’t gummy bear vitamins? My Rating: 1.0


24. Kevin Gates “BBO”
My Current Rating: 3.7


25. P Money Bags “Go Off”
Polo Fresh beat ta end this… >>> Not too bad ta end this garbage CD off… This sounds like it’s in tha middle of all my combined ratings. My Rating: 2.2


Overall: Total garbage; waste of 30 minutes!!

Review #1,162: Kevin Gates "Make 'Em Believe (Hosted by DJ Ya Boy Earl)"

Reviewed on 6.13.2012 (Review #1,162)



I’m up nice and early ‘cause I was featured in somethin’ that aired on TV, earlier today! I appeared in a Father’s Day edition of our local news, up here, but throughout tha whole Northeast PA! I even edited tha package, too, so I’m really gettin’ my name out there. Now, lemme see if I can get this review for Kevin Gates Make ‘Em Believe (Hosted by DJ Ya Boy Earl) done in time; got to go to my internship at tha local news station in 90 minutes! I know it took me a while to get to this, but that’s what happens when you release music during finals! Start Time: 7:34 AM | End Time: 8:03 AM
EDIT: It's now online; this was what I was a part of that aired on TV throughout all of Pennsylvania, today:


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!

Link To CD: http://www.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/16700/kevin_gates_make_em_believe.html


01. “Intro (I Ain’t)”
>>> Nice intro from Earl, and good, consistent rhymes from you on this beat, Kevin! Tha beat almost sounds like it samples “Rocky Balboa”, at times; cool… My Rating: 4.4


02. “Make ‘Em Believe”
>>> Nice intro, anthemic beat music from EQ! Thought there was a singer like Dat Boy A on tha hook, but it’s you; real nice job! This definitely sounds like somethin’ that has potential in many ways, many areas!! Good rhymes, once again; you’re strictly holdin’ this shit down, but don’t be tryna sound like Rick Ross, quoting him… My Rating: 4.5


03. “Don’t Know What To Call It”
Izn’t this old? Got no time for this re-reviewin’ shit! Rather live in tha current times than those faggy dayz of 2009! I regret almost everything durin’ those dayz; what was I think wit all those fake-ass rappers that couldn’t afford a penny?! My Current Rating: 4.3


04. “Baddest In The Building”
>>> Sounds good, wit a lil’ mainstream vibe wit how you sound on tha vocals… Started off a lil’ mainstream, but tha fast rappin’ iz pretty nice. My Rating: 4.1


05. “Lingo” Feat. Bonka
Finally, a feature; let’s hear it! >>> Why iz this so quiet on tha volume? Non-mix-and-mastered? How would Young Money take a look at this if tha volumes are not all fixed? Anyway, feelin’ tha catchy “lingo” hook, and your rhymes seem to continue bein’ consistent. Tha beat also sounds like it can fit anybody’s interest; nothin’ too mainstream about it! Bonka has some catchy rhymes on tha 2nd verse; doesn’t exactly sound like him, at first, but he always lays it down fa tha Boot! I hear you spittin’ some catchy shit on tha 3rd verse, in a “dinner” night perspective. My Rating: 4.3


06. “You Can Leave”
>>> Okay, this iz more on tha typical rap of today, wit tha beat; kinda decent for a start, but nothin’ special, overall, since it sounds like all tha music comin’ out today. Tha hook’s a lil’ catchy wit tha voice, at least… Good rhymes comin’ through here, too. My Rating: 3.8


07. “Satellite”
>>> Kinda okay, but a lil’ more on a mainstream tip, once again; I don’t see anything starstriking wit this… My Rating: 3.4


08. “BBO (Brains Blown Out)”
Let’s see if you can handle an acronym. >>> Another quiet one, wit tha volume; ugh, that means more audio editing for me! Sounds a lil’ like talking/preachin’, here; could’ve had more standout sounds, here… Lol @ tha “masturbation in my mind like I’m fuckin’ you in tha cell;” good line, lol! My Rating: 3.7


09. “Never Change”
Another repeat song… My Current Rating: 3.8


½time: A 4.0-rated CD, so far; okay, at times, wit repeat songs and some good songs.


10. “Trap Girl”
Again… but, I’m feelin’ it a lil’ better than tha previous review. My Current Rating: 4.0


11. “Would You Mind”
>>> Feelin’ these descriptive, X-rated rhymes for a sex scene, here; good shit, Gates, as it’s nice and slow. I can picture some candles lit wit this one; great delivery wit this, too. My Rating: 4.1


12. “I Grind” Feat. Flame Gang Rocky
>>> Much better start, since we’re preparing for a collaboration! Feelin’ tha beginning wit tha communication goin’ on! Lol, now, it’s a song wit a blasting volume? I don’t get this inconsistency… Definitely some top-notch rhymes goin’ on, here; props to you, Gates! I dunno about havin’ a song 5:07 on tha length, especially for a mixtape? Kinda long? Tha FGR dude sounds okay wit his rhymes; I’ll leave it at dat. Now, he sounds a lil’ like Meek Mill? If that’s tha case, I hope you knew about him in 2008! Tha difference between me knowin’ who Kevin Gates and Meek Mill was was actually a difference of 26 confirmed dayz! First heard of you, Gates, back on February 16, 2008 (Pyrex Radio Vol. 4) and Meek Mill was March 13, 2008 at 5:01 PM, as I got tha ID to a collaboration he did wit Philly rapper, Joey Jihad, “Bossman”, thanx to my boy, Juice, which iz still my most-played song ever, wit over 600 spins!!! My Rating: 4.2


13. “Soldier Man”
>>> Sounds like a scary start, but an okay beat start… Sounds a lil’ creative wit tha sounding of it, but it’s kinda typical, at tha same time, wit these lyrics… My Rating: 3.8


14. “Love You”
Another repeat song; makes me get ready for my internship earlier, luckily. My Current Rating: 3.6


15. “Retawdid Fa Real” Feat. Flame Gang Flow
Great title, but now that you’re affiliated wit Young Money / Cash Money, I think this iz gonna sound, like, 0% Baton Rouge. >>> Yea, just what I figured, but it’s still good. Like, where’s tha DJ B-Real? Or, even EQ? Rhymes are good to hear, but how many times iz it just about tha rhymes? Also, this “don’t know what to call it” shit’s kinda gettin’ said too much… Hearin’ tha Flame Gang dude on tha 2nd verse, and whoa, this really ain’t for me, after all! What’s wit all these stereotypical rhymes of tha 2010s decade? So not for me; not tha rap I grew up with, especially in a Louisiana perspective! Sorry for goin’ off, but this iz a review, and I must state an opinion! Iz this tha same Flame Gang dude from tha previous feature? This iz “Flame Gang Flow”, but that was “Flame Gang Rocky”? My Rating: 3.0


16. “Dangerous”
Glad there’s no tag in tha beginning, but once again, goin’ back to those gay-ass dayz of ’09!!! My Current Rating: 4.6


17. “She Don’t Wanna”
Damn, again? My Current Rating: 4.4


18. “Paid In Full (Help)”
>>> Okay, but why are we only payin’ attention to lyrics? Gotta mix some fun in it! Sample in tha hook kinda ruins it for me; I’m done wit this… My Rating: 2.8


19. “Grinder” Feat. Beezy Bird
Damn, as far back as age 20? So, lemme just get brainwashed by tha next fucker (manager), do things for free, and have Louisiana people take advantage of me? …Not! I’m livin’ that 2012 life, especially since my cousin fatally OD’d on heroin a ½ year tomorrow! Can’t look back once December 14, 2011 happened!! Anyway, Beezy Bird goin’, “Bow, bow,” on tha song, so that’s good promotion! My Current Rating: 4.2


Overall: Well, most of tha new songs were either pretty good, or okay. There were a lot of repeat songs on here, and there wasn’t that many features, which I thought was interesting. There was more of a focus on you, which iz okay, but if every song iz meant to be lyrical, then there’s, like, no diversity; still, I support you, and I want you to keep goin’ at it! Also, are you gonna ever freestyle or be interviewed for my radio show? I’m only down to tha last two months!!

Review #943: Bonka & Brando "High Times"

Reviewed on 5.22.2011 (Review #943)


Here’s my 6th review for today: Bonka & Brando “High Times”! Shout out ta tha big dawg from Da Goonz; glad he’s on here as well as havin’ this mixtape fa 4/20!! Start Time: 7:01 PM | End Time: 7:29 PM


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.

© 2011 CD Review (Review #943) reviewed on 5.22.2011 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Get It From Me” Feat. Suave
!!! >>> Sounds like an intro…; okay… A lil’ on tha East Coast vibe fa me, here; at least tha “weed” content iz here. Tha 1st verse sounds nice; likin’ tha mood and I’m startin’ ta like tha hook betta, too! Tha 2nd verse wants to “get you weeded;” dumb shit! “Lick tha blunt like it’s four play;” I can picture people havin’ sex wit “tha blunt,” lol! Definitely some kick-ass lyrics ta set tha mood, here! I pictured a 4.0, 4.2, 4.3, and now, my rating’s at a 4.4! My Rating: 4.4


02. “Weeded” Feat. Dinero
LOL, that word, again! >>> East Coast vibe, again, but I feel like I’m guilty fa dis “weed”-type shit! Iz this tha 1st mixtape I eva heard wit a white and black dude on a whole mixtape? Such an interestin’ idea and it fits good fa dis “weed” topic, lol! Tha 1st verse aight/good; keep tha content goin’! You know I look forward ta tha Goon dude! Tha 2nd verse sounds good; a lil’ betta than tha 1st verse as I’m likin’ tha street content, too. My Rating: 4.2


03. “Mile High”
>>> Tha beginning’s a lil’ boring as well as tha “O Let’s Do It”-type flow, too. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s on ‘n’ poppin’; can’t resist it! LOL @ tha “they on dem loratabs and they pop dem volumes, too;” crazy-ass Goon dude!! :tu He kicks major ass, especially on tha 2nd verse wit what he bringin’ to tha table! My Rating: 4.3


04. “Let Me Be” Feat. Flame Gang
>>> Nice choking in tha beginning! LOL @ tha hook; all about gettin’ drugged-up, lol! For a singer bein’ on it wit this content, it sounds tight; other people might get a shitty singer wit shitty content but this iz kick-ass to tha bone!! LOL, it’s even almost 5.5 minutes long; dumb shit!! Tha 1st verse sounds nice ta hear; Goontacular! :tu Tha 2nd verse iz cool; sounds like a dude born after 1988? SMH @ how people get into havin’ “probation;” can’t picture what dat would be like—glad I don’t chase trouble! Tha 3rd verse sounds a lil’ like Curren$y; more good weed-type shit, here. My Rating: 4.2


05. “Ran Outta Blunts” Feat. Trot
Uh oh, runnin’ “outta blunts”? What’ll dis sound like? >>> Ooh, sounds like some hot East Coast-type shit dat I would really like! Tha beat gives me dat great vibe, especially wit tha hook, too, where it’s all about obsessin’ dat good-ass weed!! Because this CD’s all about weed, I know dis whole CD gon get five stars from me, ya dig? “Smoke before I skeet;” damn, talk about obsessin’!! Love it!! Definitely a kick-ass 1st verse and tha hook, too—did I say tha hook already, lol? Tha 2nd verse sounds good wit this “bag” shit as well as a paranoid scene of “put down tha joint;” gotta luv what y’all got here! Tha 3rd verse iz cool, too, even wit some good-soundin’ rhymes! My Rating: 4.7


½time: Of course, you know I’m up fa dis shit, ya heard me?!? A 4.4 for tha CD rating, currently; hotter than Da Goonz’s previous CD? Crazy-ass shit!!!


06. “Loud”
LOL, how can weed be “loud”? Ain’t it ‘pose ta be on tha low, lol? >>> LOL, “smellin’ like a pound;” fuckin’ luv it!! LOL, “smoke loud;” what’s dat? Definitely interestin’! I guess tha “loud” iz equivalent to tha strong smell! “Smellin’ like a pound,” huh? When someone smells “like a pound,” I feel like sniffin’ tha smell like crazy! LOL, smell their shirt like crazy—lol, you know what it iz!! Tha 1st verse iz definitely off tha chain, too! Goes real great wit tha hook; A+!!! Tha 2nd verse sounds good although it ain’t on tha 1st verse’s level! Fuckin’ yea, tha Goon dude’s on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse; I feel like my heart’s ready ta race—wish it would!! Gotta luv what he does; gotta luv Da Goonz!!! My Rating: 4.9


07. “Good Times” Feat. Dinero
Title track? Oh no, it’s not; tha “times” caught me off-guard. >>> Back to tha East Coast style; let’s see what y’all got dis time! *Waits for nothin’ but weed lyrics!* Already, without any weed, yet, I’m likin’ dis hook about tha “good times;” “good” shit! LOL, “back when five dollaz could get you high;” y’all official wit it! Nice shit in tha 1st verse; gotta have tha memories! Dat’s why it’s easy for me to make documentaries and to be able to remember all dates and “times,” ya dig? Tha 2nd verse sounds nice; feelin’ tha flow and tha punchlines are good, too! My Rating: 4.5


08. “Sir Smoke-A-Lot”
>>> Already, tha intro just gets me in tha mood!! I feel an interestin’ beat ‘bout ta come outta dis as I’m already feelin’ tha beginning! Ooh, it’s slowin’ down from what I pictured it ta be!! LOL, can’t deny dis shit; can hear tha title all throughout tha hook and it can be tha shit, ya dig? It doesn’t take much fa a “smokin’” joint—song, lol—ta be tha shit, ya feel me? Definitely likin’ dis 1st verse; holdin’ shit down!! Gotta luv dat Goon! Tha 2nd verse iz entertainin’, too; lol @ tha “boogers” shit! My Rating: 4.6


09. “Mary Jane” Feat. Bzy & Amanda
A gurl on this? What’ll this sound like? >>> Tha Amanda gurl sounds pretty good on this plain-soundin’ beat start, currently. LOL, here’s tha 1st verse from Amanda (or iz it tha other artist—are both gurls?) and it sounds like she’s in tha mood, lol. Shit yea, tha big dawg from Da Goonz iz on tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse; gotta luv how he deliverin’ shit!! Tha rest of dis shit sounds good, too; gotta hold it down! My Rating: 4.4


10. “AbraCadabra” Feat. Trot
Hopefully, I meet Da Goonz one day! >>> Nice start wit tha “AbraCadabra” shit. Ooh, a good-soundin’ East Coast beat, it sounds like… I’m likin’ tha weed content, once again; tha rhymes are also pretty catchy, too. Tha hook wit tha mixin’ gives this an official New York-type feel and sounds good, here. LOL, no Goon? Good fa a no-Goon song. Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good wit tha rhymes, once again. My Rating: 4.2


11. “Beats By The Pound” Feat. Elespee
Like tha producer’s name? Wonder if he did tha beat… >>> Doesn’t exactly sound like it but I’m likin’ what tha white dude’s bringin’ to tha 1st verse, especially wit all these “bruh” parts, lol! :tu Consistent rappin’; gotta feel it! Time ta get buku of these jointz on my radio show—“high”, of course, lol! Thought a 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse was gonna appear but it’s tha hook and I’m likin’ dis celebration vibe fa weed, lol! Ooh, Da Goon on tha 2nd verse!! “Free my nigga 12;” also, “R.I.P. 12 [A’Klok].” :cry Nice job wit this verse; gotta feel tha consistent rhymes! Tha 3rd verse sounds good wit tha obsessive-weed-type shit, lol! Ending it wit a minute-long beat outro? Good ta finish tha blunt to! My Rating: 4.5


Overall: You already know dis shit was on ‘n’ poppin’; gotta luv how y’all put dis together, especially on 4/20!! Too bad I was really tied up wit my documentary then; would’ve luved to review it, then, but doin’ it now felt good, too!
