Review #1,739: $hop With Ken "Platinum Status (Hosted by DJ Dow Jones)"

Reviewed on 7.07.2017 (Review #1,739)


Not that often do I get tha time, especially durin’ tha middle of editin’ a documentary, that I can get a CD on its release date & review it in tha same day. Lucky for Baton Rouge producer/rapper, $hop With Ken, here’s that moment! Courtesy of Forever Young Entertainment, here goes my review for his brand-new release, Platinum Status, entirely produced by Ken, himself! I have to say, I’m diggin’ tha front cover; reminds me of tha ‘90s Cash Money/Pixel graphic covers! Start Time: 6:48 PM | End Time: 7:34 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!

11. Racked-Up Ready “Goonin’ Out Of Foreign”
Str8 from tha gravez… >>> Sounds like a catchy lil’ hook from Ready, as well as tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and I recognize tha dude on tha 1st verse’s voice but I can’t think of who it iz… Sounds like a decent lil’ verse; kinda cocky and tha “money” shit’s startin’ ta make me feel like, bleh… Hearin’ Ready on tha 2nd verse and it sounds good, here… My Rating: 4.1

Dat Baton Rouge street shit’s on tha 2nd verse, here, strictly holdin’ it down! Definitely feelin’ all dat aggression! And, tha 3rd verse sounds a lil’ too fast wit tha rappin’?

Lots of “eye”-soundin’ rhymes, here! Reminds me of tha ‘90s baby version of Percy Keith? We shall see what kinda future he gon have! And, tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ nice ta hear, here, with its street content… My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Sounds like a CD that gon feed tha streetz of BR fa a minute… Shout out to tha newbies I barely/neva heard, before! I see a future with some of these peeps/this CD; good job, Ken! Definitely one of tha best on tha beats, these dayz!

Review #1,488: Kevin Gates "You Don't Love Me"

Reviewed on 12.25.2015 (Review #1,488)


Keepin’ tha reviewz goin’, we got a Bread Winners Association review up next! Kevin Gates You Don’t Love Me! Ain’t know about this mixtape till Pittsburg, PA rapper, Lua Proc, posted about it on Instagram. From there, I had to do my investigatin’ and now, I’m finally gettin’ ta this! Can’t wait ta hear it! Start Time: 9:51 AM | End Time: 10:37 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!

Link To CD: N/A


01. “Middle Finger” feat. Kidd Kidd & Young Buck
Let’s hear it! >>> Lil’ drop from DJ Legacy in tha beginning, here; guess he hosted it? Feelin’ tha beat, so far; nice shit… Here’s Kidd on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some nice street shit! I swear, they go off more on tha tracks when they’re with you, Gates! LOL @ tha “titties out, if you want some breast milk” line; good shit, Kidd! Almost thought that was you on tha 2nd verse but it’s Buck, here, comin’ through with some good shit… Here you come through on tha 3rd verse, spittin’ some nice shit fa tha streetz… Gotta luv them “gold mouth dawgz!” My Rating: 4.3


02. “Mexico” feat. Stiches
I recognize this…; Murder For Hire mixtape, here… My Current Rating: 4.2


03. “To The Money” feat. Hurricane Chris
Let’s see this collab, despite tha title… >>> Hearin’ tha beat and it’s pretty nice; kinda reminds me of some Yo Gotti or Game-type shit? Nice shit from Chris on tha 1st verse, here, spittin’ dem flamez! Here you are on tha hook and despite tha title, at least there’s a lotta gettin’-fucked-up-type shit on tha hook! Can’t complain too much ‘bout this one; it goes off… Here you are on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through with some good shit; nice and consistent! Sounds like you’re nice and hoarse with your voice, here, Gates, lol… My Rating: 4.2


04. “Grind For It” feat. Khaotic
>>> Not feelin’ tha weird voice on tha hook, at first, but who knows, it could grow? Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and, of course, I always luv your “dope” and “pyrex”-type rhymes; fa’eva a legend, Gates!! Nice job wit tha 2nd verse, too, here; good shit! And, hearin’ tha 3rd verse from tha both of y’all and it sounds nice fa a collab! Definitely some catchy shit, overall; gotta keep grindin’!! My Rating: 4.0


05. “The Truth”
LOL, I ain’t even know what was gonna come next… But yeah, fuck these females! That whole thing that “happened in Florida” was like, WTF? She shouldn’t’ve made tha initiative!! Definitely a song that goes hard, overall; great job expressin’ these emotions, Gates! My Current Rating: 4.7


06. “I Feel Like” feat. 2 Chainz
Anotha collab between y’all two? >>> Tha previous collab was definitely nice but “I feel like” (lol) this gon be tighter! Definitely diggin’ tha slow intro with you on tha hook! Definitely somethin’ that makes me “feel like” I’m even more superhuman than before! It’s all about that kush!! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s Deuce Chainz (lol), comin’ through with his usual-soundin’ rhymes; I fux wit it… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s Chainz again, deuce fa a deuce with tha verses, here, lol! Again, his usual-soundin’ rhymes that sound good on this beat… This disc must be mainly songs featuring you? Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it’s Chainz again, lol… Once again, it’s nice ta hear! My Rating: 4.5


07. “Fall” feat. Maino & Money
Damn, someone’s name iz “Money,” smh? >>> Diggin’ tha beginning, here; always luv how you hold those note-oh-oh-oh-oh-otes, lol! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you and it sounds great ta hear… LOL @ you sayin’, “Customers;” feel like I’m drowned in that word! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from Maino and he sounds random ta be on a song witchu… However, it still sounds nice ta hear. Hearin’ this 3rd verse from this Money dude and wow, it’s not about “money!” Who knew?!? It’s more on tha real-life-soundin’ tip; sounds good… Nice synth at tha end, here… My Rating: 4.1


08. “Bang Bang” feat. Trevor Jackson
No features? >>> Instantly startin’, here… Thought it would be shorter but it’s 4:15? Hearin’ a voice on tha hook; no credit? Prolly would’ve rather it be just you on this, Gates; voice on tha hook’s aight… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s this dude… Lemme do my searchin’… *Searches…* Aight, it’s Trevor Jackson. Tha 1st verse, overall, ain’t that bad… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s you, Gates; sounds nice… Definitely diggin’ your consistent rhymes with these “burgers” and all that! Totally made me forget this was on tha R&B tip once you came in! I swear, how did God create you? You literally are tha greatest!! Back to tha R&B tip on tha 3rd verse, here; don’t really dig when he tries to catch his breath during tha rhymes! My Rating: 3.7


09. “Tomorrow”
>>> Sounds like it’s a hot joint, here, with tha beat… “I’m on a lotta drugs, I’m out my body,” lol. I thought I might’ve heard this from somewhere, whether I got a sample or somethin’, but tha hook definitely sounds familiar… Either way, if this tha 1st time I’m officially reviewin’ it, it’s definitely hot! Great, smooth hook! Tha 1st verse’s nice ta hear, as you got your shit on lock, Gates! Tha 2nd verse sounds nice, too, and toward tha end of tha 2nd verse, it sounds like you’re randomly driftin’ off somewhere, lol… My Rating: 4.3


½time: Sounds like a nice lil’ mainstream-soundin’ CD fa you, Gates; I fux wit it… At tha moment, we have a 4.2 for tha CD rating; let’s keep it goin’!


10. “Boss Shit (Remix)” feat. 550
Not sure who 550 iz, but let’s see how this goes down… >>> Kinda sounds like a jacked Future on tha 1st verse, here; let’s see if I feel this, altogether… It sounds like it could be tight, in a way, but kinda like tha mainstream, southern music that’s out right now that I wouldn’t love-love… Hearin’ you spit and it sounds nice, though it sounds a lil’ low on tha vocals or track, overall? A decent track at its best, overall, though I can fuck wit it, a lil’… My Rating: 3.6


11. “Whippin’ Up” feat. Chedda Da Connect & Scrilla
LOL! Even though I can’t stand auto-tune and it bein’ awkward with Chedda’s voice, I do really love this one! I feel like he’s bein’ seduced while recording with that voice, lol, but fa’real, it’s a great song fa tha trap! Err-body does a nice job on this, whether they sound fucked-up or not! Gates, of course, you had tha best, most-normal-voiced verse on this shit and you own it! LOL, gotta luv when Chedda says, “Real street nigga who ain’t scared ta sell shit!” It’s almost like he drowned in auto-tune, lol! My Current Rating: 4.6


12. “I’m Sayin’”
Damn, only 47 seconds? >>> Sounds great ta hear! Consistent with a nice beat in tha background! And, it ended outta nowhere! My Rating: 4.6


13. “I Like That”
>>> Sounds nice; kinda reminds me of tha Baton Rouge Gates I knew, with tha “mane” shit, lol. But yeah, this shit sounds nice ta hear; tha beat’s so quiet, lol. Tha hook sounds catchy; definitely diggin’ what you always bring to tha table! Tha 2nd verse sounds nice ta hear, too; you got this on lock fa dem bitches! My Rating: 4.2


14. “Worst Pain”
LOL @ only 43 seconds! >>> Good shit; who cares if your “clothes dirty!” That’s how you’re real! That’s why, we all love you ta pieces, Gates!! Tight shit, once again! My Rating: 4.4


15. “Rollin’ Around”
Let’s hear it! >>> A lil’ slow sound, here, and an okay hook… Rappin’s a lil’ random, here; sounds like you just came up with random shit… “BWA;” shout it again, lol! Again, hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds kinda random with what you’re spittin’… Nice, random Jamaican shit toward tha end, here… My Rating: 3.5


16. “Work”
SMH, only kept tha 39 seconds, here? Prolly could’ve used tha whole entire song here instead of, like, tha previous song! Either way, definitely a classic joint! Would’ve been a perfect rating if tha whole thang was on here with Lua Proc, but for now, I’ll just rate it off your verse! My Current Rating: 4.8


17. “Kno One”
Here it iz, once again, lol! My Current Rating: 4.2


18. “Monster” feat. Jo Rodeo
Now, let’s see how we gon wrap this shit up! No Lua Proc on #16 but we have someone here? Will they be worth it? Prolly won’t be worth near as much as Lua Proc but let’s see… >>> Hearin’ this dude on tha 1st verse and it kinda reminds me of a mix between Tyga & Problem… Nothin’ too interesting fa me; just a random newbie fa me… “Shoppin’ at tha Dollar Tree;” noooooooo, smh! Tha hook’s a lil’ boring fa me; not that crazy about this, overall… Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse and you bring some life ta this, Gates… Definitely feelin’ your consistency at all times; good shit! My Rating: 3.4


Overall: Not too bad, overall; I was feelin’ this… Nothin’ too striking for new jointz, but still, a nice lil’ Gates-featured compilation, overall!

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!

© 2015 CD Review (Review #1,487) reviewed on 12.25.2015 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Raj Smoove “Opening”
>>> Nice movie intro, even though I feel like, it feels great to do reviewz again, but still feels weird… My Rating: N/A


02. Raj Smoove & Tunechi “Intro”
LOL, goin’ with tha “Tunechi” ID, here… >>> Sounds good with all that mixin’ that reminds me of tha early ‘00s, lol. My Rating: N/A


03. Lil’ Wayne “Pour Up”
Now, back to Weezy, lol… >>> Sounds like one of those regular-soundin’, newer Wayne songs out nowhere… Nothing terrible like tha end of tha ‘00s/early ‘10s, but just basic… Still, kinda long? No comment on tha rest of this boring shit… My Rating: 2.0


04. Paasky feat. Kourtney Heart “Negus”
>>> Not really anticipating R&B on this mixtape… Once tha rappin’ comes in, it only sounds decent; nothin’ strikin’ at all… It says, “Nigga,” on tha hook, but it’s titled “Negus,” lol? My Rating: 1.8


05. Raw Dizzy feat. Kidd Kidd “Ball”
! >>> Diggin’ tha start, so far; best from this mixtape, so far! Good shit from Dizzy on tha 1st verse, here; good, consistent rappin’ at its finest… Tha 2nd verse sounds good on this, too, as well as tha simple hook… Hearin’ Kidd on tha 3rd verse and it ain’t bad, here; still betta than tha previous jointz on here! My Rating: 3.9


06. Kris Baptiste “No Play”
>>> Almost sounds like Drake to me… Hearin’ tha verse and it ain’t too bad, so far… Tha rhymes sound kinda catchy, but at tha same time, sound kinda typical… Tha hook’s shitty to me; no need for dumbass voice effects! Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, here, though nothin’ that’ll capture me; almost has a Big Sean-like flow, now… My Rating: 3.1


07. LG feat. Kidd Kidd & Jay The Cool “Shive”
>>> Sounds like somethin’ comin’ from tha streets of N.O., here, fa tha 2010s… Not too bad with tha 1st verse, here; at least it ain’t terrible… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s nice; nothin’ much ta say about it… Hearin’ Kidd on tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty consistent in tha beginning with tha “test up” shit. LOL @ tha reference ta “Neva Eva” during tha last parts of tha 2nd verse; nice! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse from Jay and it’s nice with tha rappin’, but it’s ehh, as far as catchiness… My Rating: 3.7


08. Gus & Buddy “Each Ova”
>>> Ain’t know this “Buddy” passed… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s okay; hearin’ tha 1st verse and this a-tune shit doesn’t go with me!! Not likin’ tha 2nd verse’s voice, too; no interest in this! OMG, a 3rd verse? Why?! Was gonna rate it a 1.1 but I’ll go even lower now!! My Rating: 1.0


09. Curren$y feat. Lil’ Wayne & August Alsina “Bottom Of The Bottle”
This more of a crossover-soundin’ song fa Mr. $y, even though I’m startin’ to like it more. Odd to see it on Music Choice Hip-Hop And R&B vs. Music Choice Rap, but that’s how it be, sometimes… My Current Rating: 4.2


10. Paco Troxclair “Duffy”
Glad this word’s back! >>> Kinda has an old-school vibe to it in tha beat, a lil’; almost reminded me of “Here I Go” with tha bass… Shit sounds nice on tha 1st verse and tha hook’s on-n-poppin’! Definitely diggin’ tha great vibes of “goin’ duffy,” here! Too bad err-body abandoned tha “duffy” term ta just “get money,” now, smh! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice fa tha “Uptown” ones, as this Paco dude says! Tha 3rd verse pretty nice, too, even though in my opinion, what would make this mixtape more consistent with tha soundin’ iz if most of tha songs were two-verse songs! My Rating: 4.2


11. Hot Boy Turk feat. Lil’ Wayne “You Mad Yet”
>>> Sounds aight, so far, with Wayne on tha hook, minus tha “money” garbage… Hearin’ tha 1st verse, here (Turk), and it sounds nice ova this beat… “I bubble like Jacuzzi;” nice! Pretty nice joint, overall; startin’ ta dig tha Wayne hook even more… Uh oh, here he comes on tha 2nd verse, too; can he handle it? Ehh, randomness, here… “My niggas move weight like Kelly Clarkson;” weak line/reference? An okay/almost-weak verse fa me… My Rating: 3.8


½time: Not too great of a start, so far, as there’s a bunch of decent tracks and a bunch of weak ones… Still, we’re movin’ through this! A 3.1-rated CD, currently.


12. Tre G “She Say She Love Me”
>>> This sounds good; nice lil’ dark sound, here… I’ono why but this voice almost reminds me of Lil’ Keke, at times? Not really diggin’ tha hook with tha “know I’m gettin’ money” shit but other than that, it’s decent… SMH @ 1:45 where “shit” iz censored! My Rating: 3.4


13. B Streezy “100”
>>> Kinda on tha R&B vibe fa me, but that’s what I expected from him, too; not tha best start fa me… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it ain’t too bad; kinda feelin’ this slow beat… Tha 2nd verse’s not bad, but I feel like nothin’s capturin’ me with this one, either… My Rating: 2.6


14. Kourtney Heart “Villain”
>>> Kinda a strange-soundin’ song fa me with hearin’ her as a “villain,” but this sounds really catchy for an R&B song, lol. Definitely feelin’ all tha catchy vocals and sound, here, lol, especially that chorus/title! My Rating: 4.2


15. Flighteous “Right There”
>>> Just a decent-soundin’ song, here, between tha beat and tha rappin’… My Rating: 2.8


16. Kevin Gates “Kno One”
LOL! Would’ve heard it for tha 1st time here if I wasn’t workin’ six dayz a week and carin’ about some stupid bitch that I put my all into, earlier this year! But yeah, just like tha Curren$y song, this anotha crossover one that’s on Hip-Hop And R&B vs. Rap (Music Choice). Kinda soft, but kinda good, at tha same time. P.S.: Nice drop; wish he would’ve done one for me in tha past! My Current Rating: 4.0


17. Dee-1 feat. Jones “Show On The Road”
>>> Nice lil’ strong hook with tha beat and everything; excellent start! Nice lil’ 1st verse from Dee, here, strictly stayin’ motivated to “tha road!” Luv when I hit “tha road,” but it only has been to limited areas nearby, so far, such as Pennsylvania & New York… And, tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice from Dee, here; nice job, guys! My Rating: 4.3


18. Kidd Kidd “N.O. (Right On Time)”
>>> Sounds catchy with tha “burps” and all that, lol? Nice 1st verse but tha hook’s just basic fa me; I get it! “That check!” My Rating: 3.5


19. Sheba Songs “Restraining Order”
>>> Not feelin’ this a-tune garbage at all!! Couldn’t tell if it was a female or male at first, but it’s a chick; bleh…! My Rating: 1.0


20. 5th Ward Weebie & Big Choo “Lurkin’”
This one looks like it gon be good! >>> Nice drop in tha beginning but lost all interest in this once I heard tha “Don’t Tell ‘Em” beat intro… Unless this can be a lil’ bounce-y, it could have a comeback…, maybe… Well, it looks like tha beat’s changin’ up a bunch of times; not bad for a bounce track… I’ono, this kinda boring fa me, overall; thought it was gon be a brand-new-soundin’ track… My Rating: 3.0


21. Kourtney Heart “Life Of The Party (Beat Back Remix)”
>>> I figured it was gon be bounce after tha previous joint on here… Kinda sounds nice ta hear; can’t complain… Again, anotha nice hook; great fa an R&B joint. Tha rest of this kinda drags on; like, it could’ve been shorter? My Rating: 3.3


22. Tunechi “Outro”
>>> Soundin’ nice and fulla dat shit! Really random and long fa an ending, but you know I luv when I hear Wayne talkin’! In tha end, afta all this “bag”-searchin’, Wayne “fucked this bitch;” bow!! My Rating: N/A


Overall: For tha most part, this mixtape was just touchin’ average at its best… A few R&B vibes got in tha way fa me, while there was a-tune garbage and shit. But, a few nice tracks, at least… And, this has been anotha FTLD review!

Review #1,431: Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I. "The Gift & The Curse"

Reviewed on 1.31.2015 (Review #1,431)


Just a few more hours before tha month ends… This CD I finna review from 2013 and it’s sponsored by P.C.O. Entertainment, once again: Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I. The Gift & The Curse! Start Time: 6:03 PM | End Time: 6:42 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.

© 2015 CD Review (Review #1,431) reviewed on 1.31.2015 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Gift & The Curse”
Without tha “The,” lol? >>> Nice piano to start this off… Sounds like we slowed thangz down since tha Luv 4 Da Streets disc… Tha hook sounds nice, and even though tha beat’s nice, it sounds like this gon be more on a boring level than tha Luv 4 Da Streets songs? Either way, I fux witcha, Dizzy; gotta feel your rhymes on tha 1st verse, includin’ those “cops sirens” at 1:17, lol… Oh, and no hook, here? Yeah, this gon be boring fa 5:15; that’s real long, especially wit no features… Overall, great rhymes, but too long fa an intro track! My Rating: 3.5


02. “Geto Boyz” feat. Raj Smoove
Here comes tha Smoove in tha beginning of tha disc, once again… >>> Instantly started, here, with anotha slower-soundin’ beat… Nice rhymes, once again, though this kinda boring, too… Damn, anotha one without a hook? Oh, I hear it, but damn, no transition in tha beat? Yuck… Nice mixin’ from Raj toward tha end of this track… My Rating: 3.1


03. “Shit 2getha” feat. UTP Skip
Yeah! >>> Pretty aggressive wit tha beginning and that’s “Fuck you” movie sample in tha beginning… Okay, this sounds much betta; hearin’ an actual hook with a beat transition first, and it sounds nice! Yeah, I have ta agree wit this title, especially during 2013, when I ain’t have my “shit 2getha!” I was dick-suckin’ this dude (and, when I say that, I mean, “Dickridin’,” but I stress my vulgar wording due to I got screwed in tha end) from Baton Rouge, who’s a rapper/producer. He still owes me $400 for me savin’ his career and it sux how tha whole year was him, him, him, and he blocked me! It’s like, R.I.P. 2013 fa me! Anyway, nice shit from you on tha 1st verse, Dizzy; gotta feel how you puttin’ it down on tha track, here… Hearin’ Skip on tha 2nd verse and he’s got tha aggressive voice, too; gotta luv how he comes through hard on tha track! Dizzy, here you are on tha 3rd verse (almost thought tha whole UTP was on this, accordin’ to tha ID, but it just says, “UTP Skip,” which iz just Skip); nice job, Diz! And, endin’ it wit a quick lil’ snippet from that movie, once again… My Rating: 4.2


04. “Bananaz”
Whoooooot!! >>> Beat Doctor on tha beat, here… Diggin’ tha beat, here; a catchier, slower beat with a nice hook wit you goin’ “bananaz!” Wow @ tha 1st verse: “Eat your body like… cancer;” interestin’ how you spit dat… Once again, you doin’ a nice job wit tha 1st verse, spittin’ like you need to spit rhymes… Tha 2nd verse sounds like you’re ready fa tha hoes, here, wit how you describin’ their actions as “bananaz,” lol… “Bitch, I’m from New Orleans, hear it in my grammar;” already! “Ya heard me!” A nice lil’ bridge/outro, here, with those few spots you mentioned dat go “bananaz.” LOL, there weren’t that many spots… Also, hope there’s a faster-soundin’ song on this CD, too…; you need them faster club bangaz, Dizzy! My Rating: 4.1


05. “So Faded” feat. Mugsy & Rantz Davis
>>> Sounds nice and scary for tha beginning beat… Um, it went from a gay-soundin’ voice in tha bcakground to a hot-soundin’, synth-soundin’ beat! Nice job wit tha 1st verse, Dizzy, handlin’ tha beat well…! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s that voice… Even though it sounds weird, at least tha beat and tha content of bein’ “faded” sounds nice! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty nice, too, here; good shit… Hearin’ Mugsy on tha 3rd verse and it’s good, even though tha Luv 4 Da Streets times sounded catchier… My Rating: 4.2


½time: This album was off to a boring start, but it picked up slightly toward tha 2nd ¼… So far, tha CD rating’s at a 3.8; let’s keep this goin’…


06. “Ever Since” feat. Kourtney Heart
Once I saw Kourtney’s name, I instantly thought of Magnolia Shorty… >>> Not feelin’ tha beginning beat; sounds real soft… Even though this has a bounce vibe in tha beat, I’m not really into this. Kourtney ain’t too bad, like a Jennifer Hudson on tha hook, but I’m not too crazy about this R&B-soundin’ shit… Here’s you on tha 1st verse and it sounds like you’ve been inflicted by your “brother” and his death… Okay, a quicker verse, this time; at least it’s not that long… Here’s tha 2nd verse and did “fuck” get censored? An okay verse… Even got Kourtney on tha lil’ bridge, here, missin’ ‘em… My Rating: 2.8


07. “Downtown Nigga” feat. 8-9 Boyz & Kidd Kidd
Nice collab? >>> Samplin’ SWV and their “Downtown,” here; makes sense… I’m diggin’ how y’all turned this into a 2013 version, fa tha N.O., here… Hearin’ tha beginning and it sounds nice… Okay, keepin’ it goin’ wit these 8-9 Boyz; sound okay to hear… Glad to hear that err-body on they grind… Good ta hear you, too, here… Kidd on tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ good ta collab wit, as well. Props fa shoutin’ out Sess 4-5’s “Nuthin’ But Fire Records,” too. My Rating: 4.2


08. “Fuck A Hook” feat. Paasky & 3D Na’Tee
Before tha “Hot Nigga” no-hook song, lol? >>> Beat’s only decent, here, but it works… Here you are on tha 1st verse and you’re comin’ through wit some nice shit, at least… Either way, this just a decent combination, between tha verse and tha beat; nothing striking for me… No “hook,” just like tha title, and it’s Paasky on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit regular-soundin’ rhymes… We got Na’Tee on tha 3rd verse, here, and she’s got some nice rhymes, here… Yeah, how can they call her “average?” She’s always been holdin’ tha rhymes down! My Rating: 3.8


09. “24/7” feat. Mugsy & Teco
Nice collab, once again? >>> Sounds nice with a B.G. sample and that “24/7” repeatin’ on tha hook, as well as Teco holdin’ tha hook down, on this beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good from you, Diz; keep holdin’ it down… Hearin’ Mugsy on tha 2nd verse and it’s an okay verse fa me; tha flow’s a lil’ catchy, with how it’s delivered… You’re on tha 3rd verse, here, Dizzy…; ehh, it’s okay. I mean, there’s nothin’ wrong wit this joint; it just doesn’t strike me easily, like tha older songs… Oh yeah, I like when tha “7” repeats, in tha beat, like, “7—7—7—7—7—7—7,” lol… My Rating: 3.7


10. “2 Fli”
Yup! >>> Beat’s a lil’ soft for this ending track, which kinda fits… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it sounds like it passes tha test, at least… Bleh, a sample on tha hook; it’s whateva… Tha 2nd verse’s only okay, too; nothin’ special, here… My Rating: 2.5


Overall: I’ono… This was just a decent album for me; nothin’ really strikin’ outta it… Only a 4.2’s my highest rating? I’ono… Prolly could’ve had a few faster beats, but not really on tha R&B side… Also, a few tracks bored me with too many rhymes and a lack of transitioning tha beats… But, hopefully, you’ll be hittin’ me up when you drop a new disc; lemme know!


Rankings:

10.       “2 Fli” 2.5
09.       “Ever Since” feat. Kourtney Heart 2.8
08.       “Geto Boyz” feat. Raj Smoove 3.1
