Review #1,854: G-Money "Ghetto Drama, Vol. 1: Who Can I Trust"

Reviewed on 11.22.2019 (Review #1,854)


Let’s keep these reviewz goin’… Here comes G-Money Ghetto Drama, Vol. 1: Who Can I Trust, released in 1999 on Money Talks Records! This his 2nd release; not sure why this iz Vol. 1, tho… Start Time: 3:21 PM | End Time: 4:28 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

02. “I Represent Ma City” feat. Prophet
Producer: Wydell “Fingers” Spotville
>>> Sounds pretty dope wit this beat, as well as how you comin’ through, on tha 1st verse! Sounds like you improved your flow/voice since tha last CD…! Nice lil’ hook, here; great lil’ collab, as this continues… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ like some good shit fa tha streetz, once again…! Tha rest of this shit pretty nice, as y’all keep tha street shit goin’… My Rating: 4.3


03. “Me Or You”
Producer: G-Money
>>> Sounds like a slower vibe; not too bad, for tha 1st verse, here… Tha hook sounds sad, with this “you used to be my homie” & all that… Tha rest of this ain’t too bad, tho I’ono how much I’d dig this one, due to I’m not ‘bout dat depression shit… My Rating: 3.0


04. “Copz” feat. Lucky Dogg, NRG & Warloc
Producer: G-Money
Didn’t I review this on tha last CD of yours? Only with this, it’s a “z,” not an “s,” in tha title… Also, looks like me on tha feature? It’s not, tho… >>> A 45-second intro, here; sounds good wit this beat, as well… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice, as tha consistent rhymes are comin’… Tha hook sounds a lil’ catchy, here, despite it bein’ about “Copz.” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ okay, here; more consistency wit tha rhymes, too… Got tha 3rd verse comin’ at me, here, soundin’ good fa tha undaground, as well… Feelin’ tha attitude from tha dude on tha 4th verse, here, comin’ through wit tha rest of tha fam… My Rating: 4.0


05. “Got Me On Tha Run”
Producer: Wydell “Fingers” Spotville
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ slow vibe, here, fa tha ‘90s’ dark side… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good; feelin’ tha laidbackness… Tha hook’s pretty nice; it’s tough dealin’ wit this bullshit we gotta go through ta get our freedom back… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ okay; don’t wanna feel depressed, tho… Tha 3rd verse ain’t too bad, as well; not too much my style but it aight… My Rating: 3.6


06. “Who Can I Trust (Street w/Intro)” feat. Krazy & Toot
Producer: Wydell “Fingers” Spotville
>>> Nice lil’ intro ta get myself ready fa this one… Beat sounds good; a lil’ laidback, once again… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good wit how tha crooked streetz be… Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, here, even tho this iz slowly soundin’ boring, with tha flows… My Rating: 3.5


07. “Sittin’ In Tha Penn” feat. Knowlege & Lucky Dogg
Producer: G-Money
Oh, five dayz of tha damn “penn” was enough! Even tha LD on tha feature, fa this title! >>> God, I’ono if I can tolerate this; sounds too depressing with tha “cell!” Likin’ tha melody, as it sounds like it samples somethin’, on tha hook. I’m glad I finally got tha “9 – 5,” as well as it bein’ durin’ tha night! Took a while to get tha right job and now, I’m dealin’ wit tha “sentencing,” just as what you’re talkin’ about, on tha 1st verse… Just as tha 1st verse hit home fa my current situation, here comes tha 2nd verse, soundin’ pretty rough, as well… Got tha 3rd verse comin’ through, soundin’ pretty rough, once again… “Shmokin’ weed […]; man, those were tha times.” I can’t wait fa those “times” of tha good ta come back…, ASAP!! Stayin’ patient, fa now, as I get through this nonsense… Now, usually, this shit wouldn’t be for me but because I’m goin’ through so much, I might rate it higher than I would expect to rate it… My Rating: 4.2


08. “I Get Bucked” feat. Menace & Tru-Thug
Producer: G-Money
>>> A hyped-up hook & vibe, here; sounds good… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ nice fa tha 5-0-4, here… Whoo @ tha 2nd verse! Feelin’ tha hyped-up flow & faster rhymes! Got tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ like a regular-soundin’ flow/verse; not bad… My Rating: 4.2


½time: For tha most part, this sounds like a good CD. A lil’ depressing, at times, even tho we’re here to get through tha depression! A 3.8-rated CD, currently; how will we continue?


09. “This World” feat. Gavin, Menace, Skandulust & Tru-Thug
Producer: Wydell “Fingers” Spotville
>>> Back to tha depressin’ vibes… Sounds like a neva-changin’ “world,” wit tha hook’s content; I’ono… Got a different voice on tha 1st verse, here, soundin’ okay… Tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse sounds better wit tha flow; definitely consistent… Why an edit to “fuck niggaz,” at 1:45, on tha 2nd verse? Pretty gay… Anotha edit, too, smh! An okay/good verse, regardless; just ain’t like tha random editin’… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse from a female, here, soundin’ nice… Damn, this whole track edited? I ain’t even pay attention to tha beginning, due to I always think everything’s explicit… Tha 4th verse okay, here; flow kinda boring, tho, as it’s a regular-paced flow/voice… My Rating: 2.7


10. “It’s A Dirty World (Freestyle)”
Producer: Wydell “Fingers” Spotville
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ beat, even tho it reminds me of tha west, a lil’… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it ain’t bad, here… No hook, here, as it’s a freestyle; a 2nd verse iz here, tho… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it a lil’ betta wit tha flow/soundin’… My Rating: 3.7


11. “Tryin’ To Get Paid”
Producer: Wydell “Fingers” Spotville
>>> Sounds like an okay hook/vibe, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s not bad, here… This track sounds a lil’ borderline between okay and not for me, tho, depending on tha “struggle.” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it str8, here; can’t say too much… Tha 3rd verse’s pickin’ up tha slack from tha other verses’ vibes, with some consistent rhymes, here… My Rating: 3.3


12. “Bounce Nigga Rock” feat. Lil’ Rob & Shuga
Producer: G-Money
>>> Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds cool fa a lil’ dancin’ song… Tha beat’s pretty nice, here, as well as tha energy on tha 1st verse… Got tha 2nd verse from a chick, here, soundin’ nice ta hear wit her energy… This vibe’s givin’ me a “Make ‘Em Say Ugh” vibe, so props fa tha energy… Tha rest of this sounds nice; at least there’s a club banga on this CD, finally… My Rating: 4.3


13. “Vengeance”
Producer: G-Money
>>> Cool lil’ beat, here… Hearin’ tha verse and it sounds like a gangsta story… Pretty rough; I’ono how much I can tolerate tha sad content, tho… My Rating: 3.6


14. “My Ghetto Family” feat. Geediboy, Knowlege, Lil’ Rob, Lucky Dogg, Mizz Hyde, NRG & Prophet
Producer: G-Money
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ beat, once again… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice; gutta-soundin’ street content, here… Not too bad wit how Mizz Hyde appears wit her rappin’, here, as this shit keeps tha rhymes comin’… “Rhymes” and them hittin’ “like a uzi;” good shit! A lil’ too long fa a song wit no hook fa me, here… My Rating: 3.1


15. “Niggaz Wanna Get Him” feat. Lucky Dogg
Producer: Wydell “Fingers” Spotville
>>> Sounds like some good production, as well as tha nice lil’ catchy hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice, as this shit goes on… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ pretty nice, as this continues… Tha 3rd verse sounds good, here; can’t complain wit what y’all bring… My Rating: 3.7


16. “Who Can I Trust (Radio Edit)” feat. Krazy & Toot
Producer: Wydell “Fingers” Spotville
See #6 fa tha review…


17. “I Did What I Had To” feat. Southern Girlz
Producer: Wydell “Fingers” Spotville
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ beat; almost sounds a lil’ more mainstream? Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it ain’t bad… Once again, anotha rough song about life behind bars… Hearin’ tha hook from tha chicks and it sounds okay; kinda a guilty pleasure? I also think they sound like 702… Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, here, as this progresses… My Rating: 3.5


Overall: Mainly, a laidback, struggle-soundin’ CD that wasn’t too bad fa me. Nothin’ really too spectacular but at least this brings more to tha Louisiana collection…

Review #1,853: G-Money "Ghetto Drama"

Reviewed on 11.22.2019 (Review #1,853)


Been rough with this work release shit… Had to take a month off of this reviewin’, due to everything that’s been goin’ on. There’s such things as a tough time but when it’s outta my power, then that’s when it’s really tough! Been havin’ only an hour, 3x a day, as well as work, to do things… Now, luckily, I’m on a furlough & can get some more of these done… Here goes my next review, from my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon: G-Money Ghetto Drama, released in 1997 on Twin Records! An intermission from ’99, as this was mislabeled in my folders… Ironic, due to this iz me returnin’ to tha reviewz, on an earlier note… Start Time: 1:42 PM | End Time: 2:51 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.

01. “It’s All In My Name (Intro)”
Producer: G-Money
>>> Beat sounds nice fa tha dark-soundin’ ‘90s, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice, ‘90s style… Nothin’ but talkin’ on tha hook, here, which makes this feel like just an intro… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on and it literally gives me tha exact same vibe as tha 1st verse… My Rating: 3.6


02. “Cops” feat. Shogun & Troop

Producer: Ed. G & G-Money
>>> An okay hook, here; I’ono if I’ll feel this sad vibe about tha “violence,” tho… Tha 1st verse okay; I’ll give it props for rappin’, tho… Hearin’ tha hook in its entirety and tha dude that adds his vocals sounds pretty powerful… Not really fa me but it serves its purpose, I guess? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s not bad, neither; let’s see what else iz left… Got tha 3rd verse goin’ on, here, keepin’ these hard times goin’… A Mystikal-like flowin’ dude on tha 4th verse, here; pretty aggressive…! My Rating: 3.2


05. “My Appearance Alone” feat. Dowcie
Producer: G-Money
>>> Sounds a lil’ funky, here; not bad wit tha hook and shit… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and I’m feelin’ tha aggression, as well as tha beat kickin’ in! Nice transition from tha decent…!

Producer: Carlos Stephens

07. “Lyrical Homicide” feat. Dowcie, L S Drugz & Troop
Producer: G-Money
>>> Anotha nicely-done hook, here, with this singin’/undaground beat vibe… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ good; keep tha consistency comin’…!

My Rating: 4.0


½time: For tha most part, this CD’s stayin’ consistent. Nothin’ too much that I love-love but tha undaground quality’s here… Lookin’ at a 3.9 for tha CD rating, so far; let’s see how it continues…


08. “Digging On You, Digging On Me” feat. Ruda Real
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> An okay sound, here; an R&B hook, which ain’t that bad… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it aight, fa a song fa tha ladies… As tha 2nd verse iz playin’, I feel like it’s soundin’ like a mission fa success; gotta keep it goin’… Also, we got a long-soundin’ ending, here… My Rating: 3.1


09. “Stepping With My Weapon” feat. L S Drugz
Producer: G-Money

10. “Story Teller” feat. L S Drugz
Producer: G-Money
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ beat, as well as soundin’ like an interlude? Well, after about 50 seconds, here comes tha 1st verse, soundin’ like a good lil’ laidback vibe… Tha rest of this shit sounds pretty good/laidback; I’ll give it a decent amount of props… My Rating: 3.8


11. “Jackers Die” feat. Dowcie, L S Drugz, Shogun, Troop & Gangsta Glock
Producer: G-Money
>>> Some good G-Funk in tha production, here, as well as what y’all got goin’ on, durin’ tha 1st verse…! Oh, tha “5-0;” I don’t even wanna hear about any of ‘em, with everything goin’ on, right now! It just feels like continuous haunting! Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds good; yeah, they’ll “take” everything! Gotta fight to get tha freedom back…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice, here; “we ain’t takin’ no slacks!” Got tha 3rd verse, here, with tha tight aggression, once again! Dowcie knows how ta deliver it! Mystikal really paved tha way fa these dudes and it’s definitely a plus! Likin’ how his verse goes on fa a while/longer than tha previous verses! Hearin’ tha 4th verse and, oh, them “crooked-ass” you-know-whos! Nails on a chalkboard!! Good rhymes, tho; gotta keep it on-n-poppin’! My Rating: 4.0


12. “Welcome To The Boot” feat. Gangsta Black
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> Anotha laidback/ghetto vibe fa tha ‘90s, here, soundin’ good… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and I’m feelin’ it for tha streetz, here; good shit. Hearin’ tha hook and it transitions in a calm way; prolly coulda been a lil’ harder? It still str8, tho… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ good fa tha streetz, as well; keep it goin’…! Keepin’ it movin’ wit a 3rd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice; streetz, streetz, streetz! My Rating: 3.8


13. “Ghetto Drama (Remix)” feat. Ruda Real
Producer: Carlos Stephens
>>> Sounds a lil’ betta wit tha production, this time… I’m likin’ tha hook betta, this time, as it’s more to tha G-Funk sound than all tha heavy singin’… My Rating: 3.7


14. “Test My Skills” feat. Gangsta Glock, L S Drugz & Yaphette
Producer: G-Money
>>> Sounds like anotha good lil’ track. Most of these tracks have tha same, semi-dry vibe to ‘em, when it comes to tha production. Tha flows are mainly at a regular pace, while there’s some singin’ & aggression. This collab sounds good, includin’ tha chick that raps; feelin’ tha undaground/dark vibe, of course… Even tho a regular-soundin’ flow, I’m diggin’ tha dude that comes through after tha chick, here; consistent lines…! Seems like a long track, once again; a lil’ too long, wit some of these? My Rating: 3.5


15. Outro
>>> Nice lil’ beat from an uncredited producer, here; sounds good wit tha outro, too… My Rating: N/A


Overall: Mainly a decent vibe, tho tha ratings proved to be a lil’ above-average wit tha sound, here… Some of your features helped out wit tha switch-up of flow styles but we’ll see how you do wit tha follow-up CD, comin’ up next!

Review #1,498: Dino Danja & Dae~Dae "Scales, Bales & Sales (Hosted by DJ Tremon)"

Reviewed on 5.16.2016 (Review #1,498)


Can’t believe it’s been 3 months & 11 dayz since I last reviewed a Louisiana CD! I’ve been reviewin’ Promo Only’s Promo Only: Dance Radio editions each month, still, so I haven’t been reviewless. It’s just, since that last Louisiana review (Kevin Gates Islah), we’ve been really short-handed and I’ve been workin’ my ass off at tha front counter by myself, every day, for three months straight! It’s been brutal hell, I tell ya!! Haven’t had much energy & time for shit, even down to lil’ NY trips! But, now, this could be a lil’ bit of a shakeback… Got a brand new CD out now, WFTLD Newz, so I’m feelin’ great in some areas! But now, time fa a Louisiana review—yay, lol! Released on August 4, 2015, it’s Dino Danja & Dae~Dae, from Baton Rouge, Scales, Bales & Sales (Hosted by DJ Tremon), brought to you by Danja Zone Muzik & Ya Own 2 Entertainment! Wonder how Dae~Dae’s doin’? Funny to know that tha last time I talked to him was last year, on June 15! It was when I shmoked heavy with this chick I worked with, who’s 48! He was like, “Did you suck her off good?” ROFL, Dae~Dae! For shmokin’ purposes only, lol! Naw, we good friends! Also, since then, some “Dae Dae” without tha symbol has come outta Georgia with that “Wat U Mean” song that I’m kinda feelin’. However, I don’t like that he jacked Dae~Dae’s name!! But yeah, let’s get into this! Start Time: 4:55 PM | End Time: 5:57 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

© 2016 CD Review (Review #1,498) reviewed on 5.16.2016 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Intro”
Produced by Trell It’s A Hit (lol/smh @ tha full name?); let’s see… >>> Wow, I thought it was “Nitro” (‘cause of tha back cover) but it’s just an “Intro”! Nice beginning from DJ Tremon, here, and wow, really diggin’ this ‘90s/old-soundin’ hip-hop beat fa tha BR! Wow, fuckin’ lovin’ tha return of Dae~Dae on tha 1st verse, here! Oh, man, as I’m almost 28, listenin’ to this makes me feel like I’m tha 16 year-old and Dae~Dae’s tha 28 year-old, even though we’re really only six years apart, lol! No wonder why I look up ta him!! Excellent verse, strictly grindin’ ova this heat—tha beat!! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice from Danja, here! Oh, just diggin’ this beat so much!! “In and outta state, thug!” Shit yea! Gotta luv tha southern vibe at all times! Don’t think PA’ll eva understand “bet,” yet, lol… My Rating: 4.7


02. “You Can’t Relate”
Actually, funny, but as of January 20, 2015, I can “relate,” in a way! Shocking?! >>> Almost sounds like DJ Wookee in tha beginning, but it’s DJ Tremon. Oh, just diggin’ this evolved Dae~Dae voice!! Diggin’ tha shit on tha verse, here; luvin’ tha drug content and street content, ya dig?! Luv how he says, “doe doe,” when I think of Doe-Doe from Baton Rouge, hence, January 20’s Doe-Doe’s birthday! Too bad I can’t get away from tha “fake” from my job, since they keep complainin’, “I know Frankie hates me!” It’s like, c’mon! If you weren’t such a fuck-up, you would succeed, rather than get hated on! But yeah, nice hook, too… Danja on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit them livin’-life rhymes… “Sometimes, I wanna quit;” right? Tried to put my two weeks in tha other day but they denied it! So, when Doe-Doe and them ain’t all motivated for tha music, quitting ain’t an option!! My Rating: 4.4


03. “Million-Dollar Honda”
X-Fyle doin’ tha beat—feels great to write some of this ‘cause it’s been a long while since a review, it seems like! Let’s hear it! >>> Hearin’ tha beginning and it sounds hot! I swear, hearin’ these kinda Baton Rouge-soundin’ songs in this work world I’m in, now, I feel like two completely different worlds are connectin’ in a weird, but unique way!!! Oh, I’d prolly luv this if I was high, right now! Definitely diggin’ tha catchy hook, here! Fuck yeah, Dae~Dae on tha 1st verse, comin’ through like tha icon he iz!! Like, time flies? Been knowin’ Dae~Dae since seven years ago, this month, when he gave me Yung Yola’s jail address. Since then, everythang I heard from him has been aces!! And, around these youngins, tha way I dress and act, I’m their Dae~Dae, ya dig? Here comes Dino on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit dat good shit… Yeah, definitely some great music fa this kinda time… Too bad I’m gettin’ to it kinda late, but then again, especially since there’s not much noise in tha undaground right now, timing don’t really matter, at tha moment… My Rating: 4.5


04. “Who I Do It 4”
Trell It’s A Hit providin’ tha beat, here… And, y’all must “do it 4” me! >>> Oh, yea, definitely anticipatin’ this beat start! Bringin’ back tha anticipatin’ vibes of Louisiana, lol?! Nice wit “who” y’all “make music 4!” Really goin’ off on tha 1st verse, Dae~Dae!! My God, I’ve always loved what you’ve brought to tha table, but I’ve neva embraced it in a major way!! I think I oughta “do” dat!! I’m sendin’ you a copy of my new album but I’m writin’ you, too, since I have no idea how ta get a hold of you, these dayz… After all that excitement, here comes Dino on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit tha good street shit ta top this off… So glad Dino anotha one that neva age! Hope he doin’ this in his 50’s!! Or, like tha lady that’s been at my job for 29 years, hope Danja doin’ this when he close to 70!! My Rating: 4.6


05. “What Is You Doing??”
LOL, gotta feel tha title but no producer? “What Is [Y’all] Doing??,” lol? >>> At least it ain’t a jacked beat; as long as it online or somethin’, it all good… Here comes King Dae~Dae on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit dat dumb shit! Oh wait, aimin’ at tha ones with tha “wrong decision,” I see, here? Okay, when they “blowin’ money on drugs and an outfit;” I dig dat. When you have dat good money, you get your CDs pressed up! Also, you travel and blow like a ma’fucka, ya feel me?! Nice job on tha 1st verse and, holy shit, really diggin’ how Dae~Dae soundin’ on tha hook wit tha emotion, lol! Nice how Danja comes through answerin’ what Dae~Dae asks, lol! Nice job wit tha 2nd verse, Danja; always connectin’ where Dae~Dae leaves off… And, a long outro with 34 seconds of silence; hmm… My Rating: 4.5


06. “Clientelle”
Speaker Knockerz doin’ tha track, here; let’s get it! >>> “Shout out to my shmokers;” fuckin’ right! “I can get you what you want, bro…;” whether “bro” or “bruh,” you still sound great wit it, Dae! You right about those “‘90s babies” wit how they “post they shit on Instagram and get slammed!” Then again, I ain’t been ashamed of expressin’ how much I luv weed, these dayz, lol. Good shit, Dae! Luv hearin’ your evolved voice; you’ve always been tha shit! Nice job wit tha hook, soundin’ like “Make Tha Trap Say Aye”, lol. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse wit Danja and his “Clientelle;” luv all tha weights! My Rating: 4.3


07. “Everybody” feat. Lucky Starr
Hmm… No producer, but a Lucky one, here… >>> Ain’t realize tha feature was gon be a female (or young male, lol?); they sound nice on tha hook, though. Here comes tha 1st verse from Danja, this time? Ooh, gets me even more anticipated for Dae~Dae!! Diggin’ tha “ain’t stuntin’ fa tha Gram” shit; I feel dat. This shit sounds nice fa tha south, strictly mobbin’! Even got tha Starr on tha 2nd verse, here, as it’s like a Yo Gotti sequel to “Errbody”… Not bad; an okay collaboration… And, here’s King Dae~Dae on tha 3rd verse, “catch a round, hold it down wit ya rounds;” fuckin’ love him!! Gotta luv livin’ tha life of a celeb!! Remember, Dae~Dae, you a celebrity!!! My Rating: 4.0


08. “Stopped Dat Jiggin’”
Don’t make me feel old!! That’s one thing I’ve been sufferin’ from: age anxiety!! Am I really tha same age Dae~Dae was when “Jock My Shoe Game” came out with Supa? I’ll be 28 next month; ahh!! It’s an honor, at times, but where in tha fuck did tha time go?! Don’t worry ‘cause “dat jiggin’” always lives on!! No producer listed… >>> Oh, I see; an ex-“pill” popper, here; I see… Still, a nice hook. I almost thought there was gonna be an opportunity fa pillz at one time, fa me, but since my brother died of an overdose, I don’t think there’s a chance. I’ll just stick to weed & edibles… Speakin’ of, here’s Dae~Dae wit dem “smoke clouds” on tha 1st verse, comin’ through like a V.I.P.! Fuckin’ love tha vibe he bringin’ to tha table, here! Trust me! That 48-year-old that I be hangin’ with, her boyfriend’s dad’s house, when I’m there, I feel like a million-dollar celeb!! Here comes Danja on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some good lines and catchy rhymes, here; good shit! My Rating: 4.3


½time: Definitely feelin’ this CD a whole lot! Even Danja ain’t know your info, Dae, when I asked him, recently. Still, I’m sure I’ll hear from Dae soon… But, excellent rhymes and excellent vibes, here! Gotta luv this! A 4.4-rated CD, currently; y’all keep it comin’!!


09. “Sum Mo”
Trell It’s A Hit prolly provided a hit, here… >>> FUCK YEAH!!! Fuckin’ love tha Dae~Dae hook, here; really slammin’ down tha catchiness!!! Definitely diggin’ tha 1st verse from Dae, too! What a fuckin’ champ!! No wonder why I’m inspired by him, like tha rest of my idols!! Definitely see this bein’ my favorite track off this CD, no doubt!! And, here comes Danja on tha 2nd verse, goin’ off on this beat wit dem good drugs! Funny how I don’t mind tha “money” shit, most of tha time, here, on this CD; tha vibe sets it off! Beat sounds like it has some classic Baton Rouge vibes in it, like we was in 2008!! My Rating: 4.8


10. “My Niggaz”
What could it be like? No producer listed… >>> This one sounds nice; good shit on tha hook, Dae~Dae! You’ve always been a serious dude when it comes ta err-thang! “My niggaz answer my phone.” I tried googlin’ your name/location and a number came up. I tried textin’ it but I ain’t hear anything back from it…; must be expired? Hope you get my package when it arrives… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it sounds nice; luv how you’ve been inspired! And, I luv how I’ve been inspired by you! Imagine me comin’ through PA wit tha kinda clothes you wear and how you act? They wouldn’t know what ta do!! They would just luv it!! You really holdin’ down tha hook; gotta luv it!! Sounds like Danja gave a shout out ta “Doe-Doe” on tha 2nd verse, here? If so, make sure you get dat boy back in tha music biz!! Dude ain’t serious about it, anymore, and after I was high/a lil’ on dat drank and messaged him that I was inspired by him, he said, “Your message might make me get back in tha biz… Even if I do it one more time, I’ll do it for you!” Hope it happens! Good shit, Danja! My Rating: 4.5


11. “She Looking” feat. Tha G.T.
A random thought: I was FrankieThaLuckyDog and now, thanx to Percy Keith for tha name, I’m now “Frank Calhoune!” Trell It’s A Hit on tha beat! >>> Definitely anticipatin’ tha beat, here! He must be inspired by them B-Reals, them Q-Reds, them $hop With Kens, them Mouses, them Savages, ya know? Sounds like it in tha beat… Ooh, starts wit Danja, so I can be even more anticipated fa Dae~Dae! Sounds nice; lol @ tha “thots.” Good shit ta vibe off of… And, got G.T. on tha hook, comin’ through wit dat good shit! Kinda sounds a lil’ more mainstream than usual fa him on tha hook but you know this shit still goes off… And, even got G.T. on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit dat grown consistency! We all gotta keep this goin’ at all times! OMG, can’t wait fa tha Dae~Dae verse!! Imagine if I was fulla dat shit?! Luv how I’m smilin’ like I’m anticipatin’ Louisiana music at 20 years-old, lol! Luv how he always stays focused! Yup, “J’s;” dude been always ‘bout lookin’ sharp!! Can’t wait ta meet him, one day! Did tha damn thang off this beat!! My Rating: 4.4


12. “Hit The Highway”
What I luv doin’, though no producer listed… >>> A deeper voice fa Dae, here? Sounds like ‘90s rap, here, and I’m diggin’ it, especially him rappin’ ‘bout “purp!” Can we shmoke, like, six bowls like when I did with that 48-year-old, Dae~Dae, lol? Gotta luv how he luvs ta “get fucked up;” who doesn’t?! Great obsession wit “purple,” too; I must luv green, lol! Imagine hearin’ this off a geeb (gravity bong) hit?! Sounds like it’s neva endin’!! OMG, so many Dae~Dae bars; more than 16!!! Almost sounds like he remakin’ notes or somethin’ on tha hook, but I’m fuckin’ luvin’ it!! Was thinkin’ ‘bout tha old BluBlack music from ’08, earlier today, like, “We’ll prolly neva duplicate this feeling.” However, this a pretty-close chance!! I still got tha passion somewhere!! Here comes Danja on tha 2nd verse, rappin’ a lot about himself and his “Danja Muzik,” here; not bad, but I felt Dae’s catchiness and “purp” obsession much betta, lol! Just luvin’ that hook; makes me feel like a boss fa almost 28!! Close to a top-rated?! My Rating: 4.8


13. “Fallin’ In Love”
Hmm…; no producer listed… >>> Beginning sounds like bein’ lost in tha zone… Tha both of y’all sound nice on tha hook; gotta expose dem hoes! Good shit from Dae on tha 1st verse, here, comin’ through wit how he controls tha “dick,” lol. And, here’s Danja, meetin’ ‘em “on dat Gram.” Yup, tha “Gram” has brought some of us together… For me, not really Louisiana artists, but urban explorers! Yup, gotta luv exploring abandoned areas! My Rating: 3.9


14. “Stacking N Flipping” feat. G-Money
Thought it was a producer on tha ID, but it’s not; not sure what to expect… >>> Sounds pretty nice fa this beat and tha hook sounds nice wit Dae~Dae on it; nice…, jammin’… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it must be this G-Money dude; pretty nice fa a “Money” name… Good shit wit an energetic voice fa tha south! Ooh, here comes my boy, Dae~Dae, on tha 2nd verse! Nice job rappin’ on this beat! Always soundin’ like someone you can look up to, whether he underground or not! Like, what was that “Wat U Mean” “Dae Dae” (no symbol) from Georgia thinkin’ with tha name? On tha video, I left a comment on there, sayin’, “He took his name from tha Dae~Dae (with symbol) from Baton Rouge!” They prolly will hate on it, but guess what? It’s true! Here comes Danja on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit some good shit, as always… “Been doin’ it since tha ‘90s;” good, even though I ain’t got no music from then from Danja! Not sure if any exists? My Rating: 4.2


15. “Anything Can Happen”
True dat, though I’m fearless now, since my brother died! No producer listed… >>> Definitely a nice beat, here! Oh, Dae~Dae got tha voice of an undaground God!! Wonder what he thought of his voice when he first heard it, lol?!? Hearin’ Danja on tha 1st verse and it sounds pretty catchy ova this beat… Oh, just tha way this sounds, it sounds like when rappers like Doe-Doe started rappin’ in tha mid 2000’s! Oh, mane, here comes Dae~Dae on tha 2nd verse! Honestly, I wanted to give my job up to get back to tha consistency I used to bring to tha table! I was neva meant to be a full-on workaholic, but it turned that way, thanx to DJ B-Real blockin’ me! Great shit, Dae, as always!! My Rating: 4.4


16. “N The Condo”
No producer… >>> Different-soundin’ beat wit heavy bass, here… A faster-rappin’ Dae~Dae on tha 1st verse, here… Kinda sounds different but I’m diggin’ this hook; ahh, that word! “Order!” Ahh! That word, “manager,” “donut,” “work,” “overtime,” etc.; those words!! Here comes Dae with that speed on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit dat good shit, still… Here’s Dae…n…ja, lol, on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit a lil’ faster sound, but still some nice rhymes… My Rating: 4.1


17. “Make It Home”
Nice title to end it, though no producer listed… >>> Neva really fucked wit tha songs wit tha sampled voices in tha background, but I’m diggin’ this start… “Tryna make it past 100 Gs;” can I make it happen fa you, Dae? I promise you, you will achieve it before you die!! Baleedat!!! If you eva need anything, I’m here, bruh! Good shit you spittin’ ova this beat, Dae! And, here comes tha Danja’d one on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some nice shit ta hold thangz down! Diggin’ how it slowed down at 2:44! Nice lil’ effect ta end this shit off! Definitely feelin’ this, surprisingly! My Rating: 4.5


Overall: What an excellent CD/collaboration project and return to my Louisiana reviewz!! Really felt what y’all brought to tha table, especially tha beats y’all chose!! Excellent vibes; gotta feel like a big-time celebrity!! Keep doin’ tha damn thang and Dae~Dae, get back in tha spotlight so you can show “Dae Dae” (no symbol) who’s boss!!!

Review #1,244: Dumaine "Gotta Keep It Gangsta Vol. 2"

Reviewed on 1.29.2013 (Review #1,244)


Back with anotha review a day later… This time, it’s Battleline Records’ Dumaine Gotta Keep It Gangsta Vol. 2! Start Time: 2:29 PM | End Time: 2:59 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!

© 2013 CD Review (Review #1,244) reviewed on 1.29.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Intro”
>>> Thought it would just be an intro, but good job wit this beat and tha real-life rappin’. My Rating: 4.3


02. “Casket Drop”
>>> Catchy hook, and tha beat sounds nice… Good job wit tha rhymes, too, holdin’ it down! My Rating: 4.2


03. “G-Nikes”
>>> Beat sounds nice like tha intro track; nice lil’ “big dawg” feel ta this wit how you feel fresh and big! My Rating: 4.2


04. “Grinda”
>>> Thought I heard this already? Too Kevin Gates-ish for me, especially in tha hook; big turn-off! My Rating: 2.7


05. “I’mma Hustla”
>>> Sounds good for tha south, between tha beat and your rhymes… My Rating: 3.9


06. “Roll Wit Me” Feat. Adlib
>>> Good collaboration, even havin’ a whole verse from Adlib. A good song, overall… My Rating: 4.1


07. “Street Life” Feat. T-Dogg
>>> Catchy hook from T-Dogg. Thumbs up fa tha content and how you comin’ through fa tha south, here. My Rating: 4.0


08. “Phone Steady Ranging”
>>> X-Fyle beat; tha intro iz why I wanna get outta this music biz ASAP: “not answering tha phone.” Perfect song to piss me off; as depressed as I’ve been, why am I listenin’ to this right now? Catchy song, either way. My Rating: 4.2


09. “Now They Know”
>>> Stupid sampled hook… Beat iz only okay, although at least it’s southern… This barely passes tha okay mark fa me ‘cause it’s a lil’ boring, overall. My Rating: 3.3


10. “Long Wolf” Feat. Chen & Trouble
>>> Good beat and an okay hook; not really into tha white/Eminem-soundin’ voice on tha hook. It sounds like a good collaboration, overall. Gonna see what it’s gonna take for me to get into this, better… Tha verses slowly get better, especially wit your verse, a lil’ bit. My Rating: 3.6


½time: So far, this sounds like a good CD; a 3.9-rated CD…


11. “Main Event”
>>> X-Fyle beat. Sounds like a classic-soundin’, BR-type joint wit tha delivery. I dunno why this would be 4:43; a lil’ too long? Oh wait, this an album, luckily; would’ve been too long for a mixtape. My Rating: 4.3


12. “Thug Motivation”
>>> Nice, shorter length… Good lyrics about your “daddy,” as well as tha beat. Overall, this sounds like a nice lil’ joint that you can’t complain about… My Rating: 4.0


13. “‘Bout That” Feat. Mookie Da Hustla, Dutch Shoats & Nu$$ie
Didn’t I hear this before? Why are tha features different? >>> Took tha Nu$$ie part from Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2: Ghetto Pass; how’d you know about that? If you know about that, you would know who’s **name** iz said at tha end, right? Anyway, whether this iz a recycled version of your older song of tha same title or not, this sounds like tha best song on this CD, so far. Tha beat’s that nice, Baton Rouge-type produced shit, and these different rappers are holdin’ this down. My Rating: 4.6


14. “SpotLight” Feat. B.T.
>>> Anotha cool beat start…; tha hook sounds simple, but real catchy wit this beat! Tha verses are pretty nice here, too! Anotha one of tha top-rated songs on this CD fa me! Tha 2nd verse iz pretty good, but a major turn-off wit tha “blowin’ money” start! Luckily, tha rest of tha verse has a lot ta offer. My Rating: 4.4


15. “Come Back” Feat. T-Dogg
>>> Boring for me wit this slow tempo and long length, once again… Some of tha rhymes are okay, when they’re explicit, but are boring, otherwise. My Rating: 3.0


16. “Make That Money” Feat. Lil’ D, Chrishawn & Flonotti
>>> Sounds like everyone’s born in tha ‘90s, here; why am I even bothering with a “money” song, anyway? Most-mainstream song on this CD, smh! My Rating: 2.5


17. “Rap Hustlin’” Feat. B.T., G-Money & Savage Sosa
>>> Sounds like a classic-soundin’ BR beat, here. Tha hook’s a lil’ bullshitty wit tha “money” shit, like tha last song, but let’s hope tha verses can not disappoint… Tha verses sound good; iz dat Young Bleed toward tha end? Error? My Rating: 4.1


18. “Always Hustle” Feat. Young Bleed
>>> Now, we’re hearin’ Bleed and this sounds like a good collaboration… Why does your sound on tha 1st verse sound familiar, Dumaine? Thought I would’ve heard you sound like this before, between tha voice and flow…? My Rating: 4.0


19. “No Club Song” Feat. Mookie Da Hustla, Filty Rich, Jo-Nate & Dutch Shoats
Stupid title… >>> Because of tha amount of features, I would assume tha longer length iz called for, here… Good collaboration between err-body, here, wit tha beat, even though it just sounds like a big freestyle… Great job wit tha gutta lyrics, err-body… My Rating: 4.2


20. “I Want Let U Down”
>>> Pathetic start; would luv to skip!! Overall, tha rappin’ iz good, but tha hook? I rather not comment! My Rating: 2.6


21. “I’m Still Here”
>>> Endin’ wit a regular-soundin’ song; not bad. My Rating: 3.7


Overall: Anotha good CD from you; keep up tha good work!
