Review #1,442: Black Noise Records Presents "FUPM"

Reviewed on 2.15.2015 (Review #1,442)


Time to get one more review outta tha way before I’m caught up, for now. This next CD’s almost ready to get released; it’s not out, yet. I’m gonna review it now ‘cause I’m in tha middle of a transition point; my grandma finally moved to Florida, two dayz ago (currently, in tha middle of tha move, somewhere in tha Carolinas, right now?)! She’s been wantin’ ta move since 2007 and now, it finally happened! So without further or do, here goes my review for Black Noise Records Presents FUPM, released on Black Noise Records! Tha main roster for Black Noise iz BluBlack, Hannibal, S.O.S. & Sims On Tha Track. Oh yeah, I did tha artwork fa this CD; here goes tha back cover:

Shout out ta me! Despite my hectic schedule, I pulled through ta make it! Start Time: 3:55 PM | End Time: 4:59 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! 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 #1,442) reviewed on 2.15.2015 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.

Link To CD: N/A


01. BluBlack “I’m ‘Bout My Cheese”
I see there’s some years attached to some of tha files, here… I’ll point out certain years, before 2014… This one’s 2013, FYI, and I recognize it from Blu’s Da Rezurection. If I already reviewed it before, I’m just postin’ tha rating, and I’ll post which CD each one’s from. If I don’t post which CD it’s from, it’s from Blu’s Da Rezurection. My Current Rating: 4.3


02. BluBlack & Hannibal “Never Seen”
Think this one’s familiar… My Current Rating: 4.0


03. A.R. & BluBlack “Five-Foot Something (Dunkin’)”
LOL, it has where I work at in tha title… >>> Interestin’ title wit A.R. doin’ tha intro; nice anticipation wit dat “Dunkin’” part! Real-nice beat, here; definitely diggin’ how it sounds! Really diggin’ how A.R. comin’ through on tha 1st verse a whole lot, especially at 1:06, wit tha, “Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom, ba-boom” shit!! Hearin’ Blu do tha hook and it sounds catchy; just luv tha title! And, Blu on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through, spittin’ those real-life rhymes, but ova this catchy-soundin’ beat! Keep hittin’ ‘em, Blu!! My Rating: 4.5


04. Sims On Tha Track, Hannibal & BluBlack “Slow Motion”
>>> Sounds catchy wit Sims & Blu on tha hook, ova this slow-soundin’ beat; nice… Hearin’ a lil’ Kenny G-like, saxophone-soundin’ sample afta tha 1st hook and it sounds good. Here’s Hannibal on tha 1st verse and speakin’ of Dunkin’, “Like a caramel flava;” he nailed it. And, here comes a drawersless Blu on tha 2nd verse, lol, comin’ through as tha most love-makin’ rapper outta Gardere. Nice, but don’t worry, he always thugged out and always keep it street! My Rating: 4.3


05. BluBlack, Gangsta & Hannibal “Who Dat Izz”
Let’s see this collab… >>> Beat sounds nice and upbeat, here, wit a lil’ bit of almost mixing, lol… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds nice; nice title part. Here’s Blu on tha 1st verse and yeah, just like me, “I’m a leader!” Yup, Shift “Leader” at my job! Tomorrow marks seven months; damn, time flew! Good job wit tha 1st verse, Blu; nice and quick… Here comes Gangsta on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through, “Shinin’ brighter than a muthafuckin’ chandelier;” sounds great. Even with tha “money” line, this beat makes it feel like it’s nice and tha middle of tha 2000s, before all that “money” rap and image started ruinin’ err-body. And, here’s Hannibal on tha 3rd verse; now, I don’t like his “gettin’ money” rhymes, fa some reason. It don’t flow like Gangsta’s voice does; Hannibal sounds more random… Either way, it’s a nice lil’ joint, here. My Rating: 4.2


06. BluBlack & Hannibal “TUDTD”
My Current Rating: 4.2


07. Sims On Tha Track, Hannibal & BluBlack “In Motion”
From “Slow Motion” to “In Motion”… >>> Not really diggin’ a fade-in beat intro, as well as Sims’ stupid beat tag. And, when I say, “Stupid,” it’s like, really, a-tune? Very outdated! Tha hook sounds good wit this beat, but I think I slightly like tha vibe of “Slow Motion” betta… And, just like that song, we got tha same lineup, wit Hannibal on tha 1st verse, as well…; not bad. Different than that song, we got Sims on tha 2nd verse, here… His rhymes are really random and cocky, at times; not really that special fa me… Blu on tha 3rd verse; sounds much betta wit a catchy flow and as always, “Get my Gardere Lane on!” I luv how they “on dem pillz like they Pac-Man!” Here comes that gay-ass beat tag ta end this song off, smh; so many echoes!! My Rating: 3.8


08. BluBlack & Classik “Good Juug”
A 2007 joint, according to tha file info? >>> I dunno if bounce music really y’all true style? Hook’s just straight fa me; nothin’ special about it. However, I’m likin’ how Blu comin’ through on tha 1st verse wit his “I got a big ol’ dick” chant; catchy… Classik sounds like a lunatic wit his, “Bounce it, biggity bounce it…,” shit… Kinda a random song fa me; nothin’ else ta say… My Rating: 3.6


09. BluBlack, Hannibal & S.O.S. “Money”
My Current Rating: 3.9


10. BluBlack “What Else”
>>> Not sure of tha tag in tha beginning; an online beat? Here’s Blu on tha 1st verse, instantly, and it sounds okay; a lil’ catchy ta anticipate… “Why yo girl tellin’ me ta fuck her like a moose, now;” lol… Talk about a gigantic animal! I’m diggin’ how you say them “pussy niggaz” are “like a meal,” and how you mention, “Cream cheese,” and all dat; nice… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds nice; catchy facts about you, Blu, and how you deliver tha hook! “1080, HD!” Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice, too. “I used to be on E, now my gas tank on Fuck It!” Gotta feel dat! So easy ta fill a car up, now, especially a new, 2014 Kia Soul! My Rating: 4.3


½time: Sounds like a nice CD, so far; nothin’ extremely striking fa me, but it’s still nice ta hear, as I collect y’all’s music! Keep it goin’; 4.1 for tha current CD rating!


11. BluBlack “Free For All”
>>> Catchy start from Blu wit this beat!! Nice job wit tha hook; really diggin’ how he bringin’ it! Tha 1st verse’s soundin’ nice, goin’ through “tha projects!” And, “Dreadhead,” iz tha way ta be! Kickin’ off tha 2nd verse wit, “Ol’ P-U-S-S-S-Y,” and nice job shoutin’ out “Disco” and how he, “Got shot.” Tha verse continues ta sound nice, here… My Rating: 4.3


12. Hannibal & BluBlack “Cali To B.R.”
>>> Not sure why these beat intros gotta be quiet and fadin’ in… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds good wit Hannibal. However, I can’t get inta this “money”-obsessed shit, sometimes; it’s still a nice hook, though. I should make one called, “NY To PA?” Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Blu and it sounds catchy; feelin’ tha rhymes ova this undaground-soundin’ beat… Nice endin’ wit, “Like a blue dolphin, I throw back;” gotta luv jiggaz!! Weed, weed cookies, it’s all good!! Hearin’ Hannibal on tha 2nd verse and once again, it sounds good, but I can’t tolerate any rhymes about havin’ everything, at times. Still, tha 2nd ½ of tha verse wasn’t that bad, overall… And, 1:34 on tha outro, here; iz it just gon be tha beat? A nice beat, but why so long? Forgot to fade it out, but y’all gon fade in tha intros? My Rating: 4.2


13. BluBlack & Kidd “Dumb Diggety”
Info says it was ripped from a disc on May 25, 2010 @ 1:18:26 AM… >>> Yeah, this sounds more like tha A+B+C dayz of ’10, just based off of Blu’s voice… Diggin’ tha beat and how he comin’ through on tha hook! LOL, these were back when I would anticipate ta hear a rapper rap about gettin’ high. Now, I can finally get ta that point and just enjoy tha music, instead of anticipatin’ tha moments in tha music! Good shit from Blu on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit his catchier flow! Oh yeah, to point out tha hook, it sounds catchy; gotta keep dem jiggaz alive! No age limit fa dem!! And, keepin’ it goin’ wit Kidd on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit his “throw ‘em back”-type shit; luv it! “Surrounded by weed smokers;” that’s my socialization boost! I feel so much more normal than eva before, thanx ta “weed” and all dat! And, anotha long outro, here? Just random word drops from Blu, here… My Rating: 4.4


14. Hannibal, Reese & Ovey “Scandalous”
Neva heard of tha Ovey dude… >>> Hannibal comin’ through wit some catchy deliveries on tha hook; definitely feelin’ that hook and how tha title’s delivered/rhymed! Tha 1st verse from Hannibal’s good ta hear, too; let’s see what else gon come outta this… Tha 2nd verse’s Reese and he’s keepin’ this goin’ wit some rhymes ta ride this joint ova, fa them “scandalous” ones… Hearin’ tha Ovey dude on tha 3rd verse and it’s a really dry, normal-soundin’ voice; there’s nothin’ special about it… However, tha verse ain’t wack or anything; at least it ain’t “money, money, money!” My Rating: 4.2


15. BluBlack, Hannibal & Sims On Tha Track “What Would U Do”
>>> Anotha fade-in beat intro… Hook’s catchy from Blu; these deliveries are startin’ ta be more ear-catchy! Tha 1st verse’s nice wit all tha fast-soundin’ rappin’ from Blu, here; props! Hannibal on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit a regular-soundn’ delivery; a decent verse, but it rides ova nicely fa this track’s verses… Here’s tha 3rd verse from Sims, comin’ through wit okay rhymes; it straight… My Rating: 4.1


16. BluBlack & Kidd “Straight Up Like That”
From 2013; usin’ this one in tha commercial! >>> Gotta dig your beat tags, at least! Diggin’ tha intro from you, Blu; you tell tha truth! “Tha only BluBlack;” that’s right! One affiliated wit tha Cain Muzik Mafia tried ta go by “Blu Black” (wit a space), but really, you were here way before them! I reviewed ‘em yesterday and I called them out about it, havin’ to call them a different name (e.g., “Lit BlueBlack”). Anyway, gotta dig this hook; definitely catchy wit how you say tha title a lot, Blu! And, tha 1st verse’s nice ta hear ova this great beat, too; good shit, Blu! Kidd on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit a nice verse ta ride ova this track fa Blu… My Rating: 4.3


17. BluBlack & Hannibal “We Dumb”
>>> Here we go wit that gay Sims beat tag in tha beginning… Kickin’ off tha hook wit Blu and a Nu$$ie quote: “I got so much respect, I can loan you some;” not a fan of quotin’ him to this day, but Blu makes it nice and disguised wit his voice. Either way, tha hook’s nice, wit Hannibal joinin’ in, too… Here’s Blu on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit a nice conversation about drugs? Gotta dig it! Nice job on tha verse… Here’s Hannibal on tha 2nd verse; why “paper chasing” gotta be tha priority fa almost every verse? That’ll be tha day where I brag about money on any of my songs! Not ta mention, I go to work off tha clock and clock in at tha same time, every single time! Let alone, yesterday marked my 145th work day in a row, since August 13, 2014! It’s all about consistency and luvin’ your job, not all about tha money! Yeah, tha owner liked that one when my manager showed him my post! Either way, it was an okay verse, but why all tha beat at tha end? Nice ta hear, but too long; should’ve been tha pick fa tha commercial background music, or somethin’… Fuck! Why this song also gotta end wit tha gay-ass Sims beat tag? Let alone, tha echoin’!! My Rating: 4.0


18. BluBlack & D.$.G. “Tooled Up”
From 2013; n.k.a. Ryco Hu$$le, but more normal as D.$.G., before he was afraid of approaching people. >>> Diggin’ tha beat, here, but unfortunately, because of tha fear of approaching people, I gotta let this go in one ear and out tha other! Not to mention, I can’t even get a copy of tha latest mixtape out? Talk about tha lack of value I have; no wonder why I had ta step away from tha music business! Anyway, great, upbeat beat and nice wit Blu on tha 1st verse! “Eat tha cobbler;” yum! Tha hook sounds good and catchy, here, from Blu… Really? This D.$.G. on tha 2nd verse? Don’t sound like it at all; must be an unlisted feature? No comment… Sounds like a bootleg version of Yung Yola or somethin’! Yeah, must be, oddly ‘cause Blu’s on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit some drug-invaded content, here; diggin’ it… My Rating: 4.0


19. BluBlack “Stunt On ‘Em”
Looks really familiar… Okay, I see tha title and it’s from tha Gotta Get It One Way Mixtape Vol. 1 mixtape, from 2008. However, it’s 55 seconds shorter, so lemme see what’s different, here… >>> Yea, this tha same song; hope they took out tha one bitch that was on here, who afraid ta give me B-Real’s #, when I originally had it! Not Cage, tha otha dude! I don’t need ta add any additional feedback; just peep dat Gotta Get It One Way Mixtape Vol. 1 fa more. Oh, no features, officially? Weird, but still good ta re-hear! My Rating: 4.3 (can’t believe I originally rated this, like, a 3.7 or somethin’!)


20. BluBlack “The Realest”
From 2009… >>> Did he say, “Free my nigga, Boosie?” Guess it does go wit tha year… Nice lil’ beat and tha hook sounds good, too… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Blu and it’s not bad; I can fuck wit it… Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too—yeah, this definitely around 2009 ‘cause it an online beat wit dat “Johnny Juliano” dude, or whateva his name was. My Rating: 3.7


21. Hannibal, BluBlack & Ar’Jay “Sleepless Nights”
Endin’ it with one of my titles of one of my songs, from 2010, which I no less was inspired to write tha day after Blu’s 24th birthday. Not to mention, mine’s one second longer than y’all’s! Mine 4:45, y’all’s 4:44! Weird?! However, this a new song fa them. >>> Beat’s okay; kinda quiet like mine, only mine’s more intense. Tha hook sounds okay from Ar’Jay, here; tha content’s aight… Hearin’ Han on tha 1st verse and it’s an okay verse; more on tha female tip? Thought it would’ve been more on a struggle level? Keepin’ it goin’ wit Blu on tha 2nd verse and he sounds good fa these ladies… Still, I ain’t really think this was gon be for tha ladies… Damn, a whole entire minute, at least, of a beat ending? I guess it’s good ta fall asleep to, or get that final fuck in? Okay, anotha hook… My Rating: 3.8


Overall: Nice job wit this CD… I dunno how memorable it’ll be for me, especially at this time of B-Real blocking me, me workin’ full-time, and enjoyin’ my life, but it’s good that y’all keep grindin’! Thanx fa tha opportunities of me doin’ tha commercials and artwork, when tha CD ain’t even out, yet! That’s that real shit and y’all way ahead of all them bitch-made niggaz from Louisiana, who can’t even get a nigga like me music on time, nor can they get me ta do a fuckin’ commercial!

Text Version of Review: http://frankiethaluckydog.blogspot.com/2014/03/review-1383-black-noise-records-big.html

Review #1,383: Black Noise Records "The Big Picture"

Reviewed on 3.13.2014 (Review #1,383)


Keepin’ tha reviewz goin’, up next iz Black Noise Records The Big Picture! This tha follow-up to 2011’s Back 2 Business mixtape, which was hosted by DJ Smallz. As always, Black Noise Records consists of people like BluBlack, Hannibal, S.O.S., Kidd, Blu3 Da Truth (BluBlack’s younger brother) & others. Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this one! Start Time: 10:26 AM | End Time: 3:00 PM


Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it! After I was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

© 2014 CD Review (Review #1,383) reviewed on 3.13.2014 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. BluBlack “BluBlack Freestyle”
Hope I can get through these reviewz… My room iz a mess from renovatin’ my closet/gettin’ rid of old shit. I can’t put my little heater on, due to shit everywhere, and it’s cold today:


But, let’s get this thang started and see how long I last, today! >>> Sounds like classic BluBlack right chea! Even a beat that sounds like he might’ve produced? Catchy-ass flow fa this freestyle, or should I say, sample of a new track? “Yeah!!” Classic Blu-soundin’ track, right there!! My Rating: 4.6


02. Hannibal Feat. BluBlack, Kidd & Reese Da Don “Nothing For A Mobster”
Looks anticipatin’, and it has that classic long length of 5:38 on tha length, kinda like tha “Dat Potion” dayz, wit tha four people! >>> So far, pretty nice wit tha hook! “Mobster, eatin’ lobster;” catchy hook, Hannibal! I’m definitely feelin’ it!! Tha beat sounds pretty nice, like tha ’02 dayz of Lil’ Flip & Chamillionaire “U See It”; #TBT!! Blu on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some consistent rhymes fa tha G-Lane! “A week ago” wit tha “purp;” nice!! A laughing Hannibal on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit “buku broads;” that’s what’s up! Even might be “on dat pill”? That’s what’s up, again! “Promethazine!” Such a catchy hook that you can’t deny!! “Mobster!!” “Lobster!!” Here’s Kidd on tha 3rd verse, “tryna not be dat nigga pickin’ dandelions;” I feel ya! Ya gotta get that growth by gettin’ ya music out there! I hate people that “snitch;” I’m dealin’ with my brother’s snitchin’, as we speak! He gets so fucked up from me speedin’ 10 over tha speed limit, to where he has to whine to my mom to tell her I smoke weed, at times, and had found a crack pipe while lottery ticket hunting! He even smashed it against my bed, glass all over, and I was crying! Fucked up!!! Okay, I hear just a beat, right now, after tha 3rd verse; where iz Reese? Or, iz he on tha hook wit Hannibal? Can’t exactly tell, since there was a long beat outro and I thought I’d hear a verse… My Rating: 4.8


03. BluBlack Feat. Slugga “So Tired”
Don’t think I’m 100% familiar wit this Slugga…; I know there’s one outta tha N.O., though. >>> Sims doin’ tha beat, but why that gay-ass auto-tuned tag from so long ago? You realize it’s 2013, here? Anyway, nice beat, not depressin’, and Blu sounds good on tha hook! Yea, “I’m so tired” of this Pennsylvania bullshit life I’m livin’ wit no job! Ugh! Blu on tha 1st verse, comin’ through, “fuckin’ make it happen” iz his perspective; I feel him! “Black dread head, tattoos, plus gold teeth;” that’s tha look right there!! Blu one of tha best in Louisiana!! Been fuckin’ wit him since December 2008!! Nice job wit tha 1st verse; hope you travel again soon, Blu! I know you got a lot goin’ on fa ya age! And, it’s your birthday in five dayz; lookin’ forward to wearin’ blue & black, again! Wearin’ all blue, right now! Here’s this Slugga—oh wait, from Da Gremlins?—on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some gutta street shit, here! I hope all this braggin’ about his status—though, I’ve neva heard of him, I don’t think?—iz worth connectin’ wit me! And, like he says, “out tha gate!” My Rating: 4.6


04. BluBlack Feat. Dogg & Classik “Loud”
No preview. >>> It iz; that’s why, I didn’t have a preview. He doesn’t like Instagram comments and deleted mine about gettin’ high twice, though he attracted people to comment on him gettin’ high! I don’t get it, so I just want money from this point on! And, even more pathetic how I remember: Four dayz ago was a ½ decade since I first talked to Dog Da Cutthroata… Anyway, tha hook’s pretty nice wit all tha “loud” shit, and Dogg’s on tha 1st verse… Can I get some HAIM?! Either way, it’s jammin’, so I can’t front on scorin’ it good, but it was a good contribute. I just don’t get why he’s allergic to Instagram comments?! We got Blu on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit a good “smell” of “loud;” shit yeah! “Fulla dem drugs; ‘bout ta pull up at Dreams;” go, Blu! Keep clubbin’!! Sooner or later, I’ll get to Louisiana and finally get ta enjoy y’all’s partyin’ lifestyles!! Shout out ta Greg Johnson fa likin’ tha pic I posted about doin’ tha live review ‘cause we got Classik on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit a gutta voice, on dat shit!! He sounds like tha dude that robbed a ½ stack off of me, but we’ll just focus on Classik, since it’s 2014, right now! Nice “smokin’, blowin’ doe-doe” at tha end! Jammin’ beat, too!! My Rating: 4.5


05. BluBlack & S.O.S. “Dime Bread Diva”
Keepin’ it goin’… >>> Definitely diggin’ tha beat start, right chea! I like that it’s 22 seconds!! Classic-soundin’ Blu catchiness on tha hook, right chea!! Sounds like he’s havin’ sooooooo much fun wit this “dime bread diva,” or should I say, divas!! Real catchy!!! Tha 1st verse from Blu sounds hella catchy, too!! “I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T,” you know! Of course, this sound takes me back to tha Code Blu dayz; I’m real glad I’m reviewin’ it live, right now!! Here’s S.O.S. on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit tha Blu/Black Noise flow, and I’m feelin’ it! Great shit; just luvin’ how he comin’ through wit tha flow, also!! My Rating: 4.9


06. BluBlack, A.R., Classik & Secret “Choosin’”
Hmm… >>> I assume that’s a BluBlack beat tag, also (“Blu Bleezy, huh?”)? This sounds catchy as fuck, once again!! Of course, jealousy attracts “choosin’”-ass people!! Sounds like a leftover track from A+B+C = Da Formula, only better than that whole CD? Blu on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit catchy shit, once again; he luv gettin’ fucked to tha bone!! I luv when he raps about “weed” and them pillz and shit; glad he always gon have dat in his blood!! “Ice cold, subzero,” just like tha temperature outside that sucks!! Here comes tha long, lost A.R. on tha 2nd verse; been a long while since I heard him last. Sounds like a great verse, also; glad he doin’ his thang! He only, like, 24 now; still supa young—well, we’re all in our 20’s, except a few of us… Yea, some of us are in our early 30’s, you know what I mean? Hearin’ tha 3rd hook and it sounds more soulful fa tha south, in a great way! Classik on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit catchy rhymes; he supplies that 3rd in A+B+C! Fuck dat “myth,” if it’s negative about “big niggaz in tha club;” anybody can get it!! Aight, well, Blu had tha best verse/that hook, though tha super-obsessive excitement kinda got watered down wit tha other two verses, fa me. Either way, real nice track!! My Rating: 4.7


07. Secret, BluBlack, Sims On Tha Track, Hannibal & Reese Da Don “Smoke Break (Interlude)”
A long interlude, this time! Let’s see what y’all got goin’ on, here… >>> Ray Charles in tha beginning? Like, a gangsta version of him? A beat, here… It sounds pretty nice and relaxin’… I wish, Blu: “24 hours a day!” Wow, this feels great!! I don’t usually rate interludes, but because this has, at least, a hook, I almost wanna rate it!! Well, call of tha devil, Blu rappin’ at 2:13 or somethin’! Feelin’ all tha “purple haze” and drugs, when it comes ta weed! I wish I lived wit you, Blu!! I always wish I lived wit Yola!! Sims comin’ through wit rappin’, too! As always, gotta luv his southern, gutta voice! Nice how tha beat reverses! Hannibal on tha 3rd verse, here; gotta put him after Sims, on tha ID! Feelin’ his “blowin’” obsession, whether it’s weed, or, yes, tha “bitches!” Okay, Reese, a verse? Did I miss him again? My Rating: 4.8


08. BluBlack “Lay It Down”
>>> Sounds like a different kinda style beat I’m anticipatin’!! Just luv tha production and sounds at all times!! That classic G-Lane sound!! Hook’s pretty catchy as fuck; “lay it down!!” I’m layin’ “down” tha live review, as we speak!! Blu on tha 1st verse, always “real!” “Palm fulla ass;” did I hear right? I know you make this shit sound catchy as fuck! I’m definitely feelin’ how Blu comin’ through on this like it’s some classic Gotta Get It One Way-type shit! So, your result ta tha haterz, or whateva, iz “dat dick look,” huh? I guess so…; get ‘em, Blu! “I am tha V.I.P.;” you already know, Blu!! King of Gardere Lane!! “If you scared, go to church” iz like tha Ice Cube song from 2006; I would hope this ain’t 2008 or somethin’… I’m just bein’ sarcastic, but you neva know what’s left behind! My Rating: 4.7


09. BluBlack, Hannibal & Sims On Tha Track Feat. Bella “Foot In The Game”
Lookin’ forward ta this giant? >>> Nice beat and BluBlack intro! Tha Bella chick on tha hook sounds like someone y’all randomly picked up; pretty nice fa tha undaground! And, Blu & Hannibal doin’ a nice job on tha 2nd ½ of tha hook, too! Blu’s on tha 1st verse wit dat “medicine;” yeah! Though you think your “jail record” “fucked” you up, Blu, at least you have a job! I’ve had a Master’s Degree for 20 months, and I still don’t have a job! Bitches be manipulatin’ my ass; WTF?! Hannibal on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit dat fresh style! “Laughin’ at these pussy niggaz;” I feel ya! People becomin’ so “pussy” these dayz, between bein’ cheap and not makin’ me a priority! I’m glad y’all still believe in me! “Twistin’ blunts” on tha hook, Hannibal; gotta luv it!! And, WTF @ tha 3rd verse; Bella soundin’ too fucked up on dat auto-tune; yuck as fuck!! I say it’s dudes masturbatin’ in each other’s ears/suckin’ each other’s dicks, but if it’s a chick, it just sounds toooooooo gay; bring out tha lesbian vibe wit dat a-tune shit, smh! Sims on tha 4th verse (or, 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse), and it’s soundin’ good on this track! At least it’s a normal voice, despite his tag! Fuck, not again wit tha outro shit; that’s twice, now!! My Rating: 3.2


10. BluBlack & Hannibal Feat. Baby B “Hoez & Niggaz”
This, too, I’m lookin’ forward to! I’m likin’ how B has red/pink-like hair, now! I guess my wish came true from, like, three years ago, when I talked about her bein’ “candy” or somethin’, lol? >>> “BluBlack!! Louisiana!!” Beat’s pretty serious, like, on some gutta, Nu$$ie-like beats, here!! Diggin’ how Blu comes through on tha 1st ½ of tha hook wit tha “suckin’” people, as well as B comin’ through on tha 2nd ½ of tha hook; nice collab!! Blu on tha 1st verse, feelin’ “hypnotized!” “Only give her ass a 6,” huh? Kinda sounds like how I felt about tha auto-tuned track, previously! And yea, from a 10, a 6 iz, like, a 3 when these ratings are based off of 5 stars! I luv how Blu always says, “Hoez, hoez,” while B always says, “Niggaz, niggaz;” great collaboration!! And, she’s on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some crazy shit from tha hood!! Out The Mud-certified, right chea!! “Shitty-ass;” that’s right! Tha end of tha 2nd verse, where she says, “You wrong,” almost reminded me of The Notorious B.I.G. and his “Dead Wrong”. I dunno, just tha “wrong,” I guess… Uh oh, “bouncin’ through tha club” wit Hannibal on tha 3rd verse, here, not “playin’ not games!” He finna “scoop up ya dame,” though she, “White as cocaine;” nice!! Even “Ralph Lauren!” My Rating: 4.6


½time: So far, an excellent CD from Black Noise Records, formerly Entertainment, formerly Music! I’m definitely feelin’ tha classic vibes of tha 2008 BluBlack wit tha Code Blu and Gotta Get It One Way-type shit!! Blu had been a lil’ off tha radar wit me when I was goin’ through my troubles of gettin’ robbed a ½ a stack, but I’m glad he’s officially back!! Like, it’s official!! And, tha way y’all comin’ up wit these tracks are excellent!!! So far, tha average CD rating’s a 4.5!!! Wish y’all didn’t ruin it wit tha auto-tune, but, like I do wit tha live reviewz, I gotta call y’all and see what’s up!! First, Hannibal! *Calls* Thanx fa pickin’ up, Hannibal, and I’m glad you really appreciate this live review, so far!! You only heard what’s been goin’ on, not seein’, so when you see it, best believe it, ya heard me?! And, S.O.S. didn’t pick up tha phone, just now, so I finna move on wit tha review…


11. Hannibal & BluBlack Feat. Disco “Blood Money”
Looks pretty serious… Disco been M.I.A. for a long while, now (at least a ½ decade). He was on MySpace, though I neva even seen him on Facebook. Now, it’s Instagram time; wonder when he gon get back on track? I neva still talked to him, before… But, I’m definitely lookin’ forward to this collab!! >>> “Bullshit”? Takin’ a sample wit tha “blood money” and “drug money;” now, it sounds anticipatin’!! Not tha lack of anticipation fa when I hear “money” jointz ‘cause of me gettin’ robbed! Pretty long hook, here; 46 seconds in, still! BluBlack on tha 1st verse, gettin’ “it, thug!” Luv when y’all say, “thug!” Comin’ through wit tha “tool,” though it jammed! Nice “Hannibal” set of rhymes, too! “Ta ya knees, I’m shittin’;” I feel ya! Gotta luv when people shit! Got Hannibal on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit a more-energetic voice, right chea! Nice shit; I definitely feel ya! Sounds like an interlude in tha middle, before tha 3rd hook? Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ Disco!! A victim of tha gun, but he comin’ through wit dat classic-soundin’ G-Lane shit!! Great job, y’all; nice collaboration!! My Rating: 4.5


12. BluBlack “Too Real”
At least Blu iz, though, because of other bullshit artists, I’m not a fan of this title, technically. >>> Sounds anticipatin’ wit tha “go, go!” chants! Beat’s pretty nice; I can feel it!! A serious-soundin’ joint, here, fa tha streetz!! “You like new gifts,” when it comes ta Blu openin’ y’all on tha 1st verse, right chea; serious!! Consistent rhymes fa tha streetz; gotta luv it!! So jammin’ on tha hook when you say, “Shit get too real,” and then rhyme it, repetitively!! I remember when you “was stupid wit dem jiggaz;” honestly, I feel like you should still be a fool wit ‘em! Neva lose your attributes! Either way, nice job on this 2nd verse, too! My Rating: 4.6


13. Hannibal, BluBlack & Reese “Boom!”
Yup! >>> Interestin’ production; reminds me of Quikkdraw, J Buc & Nu$$ie’s “I Bleed Dis”, produced by J Buc, from years ago! Sounds pretty serious, here, “in tha club” wit Hannibal on tha hook!! It has that anticipation like a C-Murder old beat, mixed in wit tha G-Lane paranoia!! Got Hannibal on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit his G-Lane shit, “puffin’ on da best;” you already know it’s paranoia at its finest, right now!! “Niggaz wit attitudes, like Cube in tha ‘80s;” that’s right, Hannibal! N.W.A.! Just luv tha energy on tha hook!! Y’all need ta fly up here and go to tha Kings Park Psychiatric Center; that’s where I got high for tha 1st time, and it’s a great place for footage, videos, explorin’, and more!! Blu on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some serious shit! What made me think of Kings Park was ‘cause of tha vibe of this track! Blu’s “dick iz like a tree;” ladies, you already know what ta do wit it!! A long-lost Reese on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through as a Mystikal relative!! Cousin, if I’m not mistaken? It’s been a while… “From tha N.O. to tha B.R.,” just like DJ 5150 & Dre, right? My Rating: 4.7


14. BluBlack “Up There”
Glad this still made tha cut! It was first featured on my Tha Louisiana Archives Vol. 14: Important Artists Only! mixtape I dropped last year, on my birthday. Usually, I just post tha current rating, but since this iz an important review, I’m just gonna re-review it for tha hell of it… Just luv tha hypnotic sounds of tha beat; too crazy!! Would’ve done better with me last year, if I wasn’t in my DJ B-Real funk/what I like to call, “Heroin addiction!” Tha hook’s catchy wit Blu comin’ through wit a singin’-like voice; definitely diggin’ it!! And, comin’ through on tha 1st verse as a mission: You “gotta get it up there!” Tha 2nd verse iz consistent, too; gotta luv how Blu comes through like it’s your “lunch;” you must have this in your DNA—systems, whateva!! My Current Rating: 4.8


Intermission: It’s 11:47 AM, right now, and because I gotta eat, charge my camera, rip tha footage, and I’m runnin’ outta space, I need to take a quick break. See ya in a few minutes, hour, whateva… Aight, it’s 2:28 PM, now, after I took a brief nap, ripped tha footage I already took, ate, and am now back to doin’ tha review! Let’s see what’s next!


15. BluBlack & Kidd “Teardrops”
I dunno why, but I’m lookin’ forward… Even got Baton Rouge stamped on tha length, here (2:25)! I wonder if that was planned, lol? >>> Beat’s pretty serious, on a Baton Rouge tip; luvin’ tha hook, once again, Blu! Catchy hook wit this “teardrop” you don’t want to come out! Here’s Blu on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some G-shit fa tha G-Lane! “What goes around, comes around;” I hope that’s tha case fa those that took advantage of me, smh! Diggin’ tha catchy, classic vibe, once again!! Here’s Kidd comin’ through on tha 2nd verse; consistent G-Lane shit, right chea! Crazy wit tha “body bag” action! My Rating: 4.5


16. BluBlack & Needy Nee “Really Doe”
Needy neva thanked me for her 2009 awards; been a long minute? >>> Anotha tag from you; of course, you definitely ownin’ tha production on this CD!! “Really doe;” definitely feelin’ tha classic catchiness!! Just so you know: I remember #16 on tha Code Blu CD bein’ tha “On Dem Pillz”! So, you know you got tha females always on lock wit tha #16 features, Blu!! Here’s Needy on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some great shit fa G-Lane, no matta what year it iz!! Definitely feelin’ her consistency on tha track, comin’ through wit that nice club vibe!! Dem “hoes” tryna “suck [Blu] out [his] Dickies;” dumb shit!! Blu goin’ nuts on tha 2nd verse wit err-thang goin’ on wit this wild party!! I definitely feel it and still anticipate goin’ ta one of these, in tha future! Nice ending wit that trumpet, or whateva, ta end tha beat off, too! My Rating: 4.6


17. Hannibal, BluBlack & Sims On Tha Track “60 Seconds”
More like 303! >>> Nice beat start; almost has a sound in it from Gorilla Zoe’s “Hood Nigga” track, from ’06/’07? It’s anotha catchy Blu hook, once again; keep tha repetitiveness comin’ along!! Just “one minute” iz all Blu needs!! And, we got Hannibal on tha 1st verse, comin’ through as tha attraction—center of attention! Hannibal really inta this track, right chea; he just luvs life!! More than “60 seconds!!” Tha king himself, Blu, on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through, “higher than an Indian;” “hee-mon-e-ah-gah,” just like my text message alert!! Good shit on tha 2nd verse, Blu, strictly deliverin’ it in, a lil’ ova 50 “seconds,” since 12 bars on a 80 beats-per-minute track’s 48 “seconds;” this iz 70, so it’s a lil’ longer! Sims on tha 3rd verse, gettin’ it in wit y’all; I feel great that he fits in wit y’all! At least he a normal and not an anti-social producer!! Also, not a private producer, smh!! My Rating: 4.4


18. Hannibal “Soulja Forreal”
A solo joint, here… >>> I like how he has tha Blu-like flow on tha hook, though I’m neva always fantasized by tha “money” rhymes/obsession—and, here we go wit tha 1st verse, startin’ off wit “gettin’ money;” *yawn* It’s catchy, and I can dig it, at least, but I don’t fuck wit this kinda shit if it’s someone else, you know what I’m sayin’? Hannibal’s “face iz like a coupon” ta start tha 2nd verse off; that’s betta, fa me, at least! I wish my brother would listen to you, and not smash fuckin’ pipes and shit by snitchin’! No one can ruin my reputation, now, as a near-26-year-old!! My Rating: 4.2


19. BluBlack & Hannibal “Top Dolla”
Let’s see, here… >>> Catchy beginnin’ beat, here, wit Blu on tha intro! Tha hook sounds pretty catchy, too; can’t deny these jointz!! If somebody hatin’, fuck them in their giant—or wait, small asshole!! Catchy rhymes in tha 1st verse, Blu; glad you still on ya grind, despite tha “felon” shit! I’m glad it didn’t ruin you, and I’m glad you’re still around!! Hannibal on tha 2nd verse, just luvin’ these dog hoes! And, a nice lil’ outro in tha background from Hannibal, on tha last four seconds! My Rating: 4.4


20. Nina Boy a.k.a. Yung 9 Feat. Hannibal “Night-Time In My GTO”
Originally, y’all didn’t have “GTO” capitalized, but I fixed it. Though I’m not up-to-par about knowin’ everything about cars, I knew about this. I’m lookin’ forward, includin’ hearin’ this Nina Boy dude! >>> Sounds like a Ja Rule-like, R&B/Hip-Hop intro beat… Iz he a G-Lane representa? Tha hook ain’t bad, but again, on tha “money” tip… Here’s tha 1st verse from him, on that “money” shit, again… However, he’s got a real catchy voice and sounds like he’s from tha streetz, so I’ll give him a plus, here! If he “ain’t goin’ broke,” I hope he got some money ta spend on me fa promotion; I don’t charge a lot, at all! I wanna give err-body tha chance!! That flow reminds me of Lil’ Reese & Waka Flocka Flame wit their “Money Stackin’” joint, which, guilty pleasure wise, I don’t mind listenin’ ta that. I guess it’s ‘cause it’s a withdrawal from tha fake undaground people I was dealin’ with. Hannibal on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit catchiness; gotta feel how he grindin’! This ain’t too bad, overall; credit from ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog! About 40 seconds on tha beat outro, here… My Rating: 4.2


21. BluBlack & Billion Dollar Blu “Days Like This”
How we gon end this wit these two brothers, lol? >>> Sounds like Blu’s quoting/remaking an old song wit tha, “Mama said, ‘There’d be days like this.’;” it’s good wit tha vibe, though! It sounds like some nice, soulful, Baton Rouge-like shit, and wit Blu on tha 1st verse, it sounds like some nice, street shit! LOL, “Tha one who put me on weed;” I feel ya! That may be you, and wit weed, all it took was some masturbatin’ ta get me ta *inhales*, lol! Yup, March 5, 2009 @ 9:59 PM; can’t forget tha date/time ‘cause I remember, when it was 10 (9 PM, Louisiana time), tha minutes on tha phone would be free, and it was only one minute away—“60 seconds,” like Blu says! We got Blu3 rappin’ on tha 2nd verse, Blu’s younger brother, and it sounds good. He’s got a young-type of BluBlack, here! I think his age, at this point, was tha same age when I first heard BluBlack on Code Blu; interestin’… My Rating: 4.3


Overall: Well, in two exact hours, at 5:01 PM, it’ll be tha six-year anniversary of me gettin’ tha ID of a track to know who Meek Mill was, back on March 13, 2008 @ 5:01 PM; classic times!!



And, six years later, I reviewed this The Big Picture CD live on camera!! I think it fits tha history pretty well! So, we got tha Meek Mill discovery in ’08, findin’ a $40-winning scratch-off in tha garbage in ’09, and now, this fa ’14! Keep tha great moments comin’, y’all; all y’all did a great job on this CD!! I thought I’d hear Obeeze—how’s he doin’? Either way, great job gettin’ who y’all got on this CD! Y’all definitely did a great job, and BluBlack proved ta make a comeback, as this had that great, 2008-like vibe/fun times to it, and I’m definitely diggin’ it ‘cause you shouldn’t let that sound go to waste!! Keep ‘em comin’, Blu! Happy early birthday ta you, and happy early birthday ta Toke, who’s birthday’s on Sunday, tha 16th!

Review #1,190: Yung Toke "Call Of Duty"

Reviewed on 9.19.2012 (Review #1,190)



Got my 5th review for today: Gorilla Muzik Entertainment’s Yung Toke Call Of Duty! Really lookin’ forward, but why tha “Yung” in tha name, now? Seems like everyone’s goin’ that route? Start Time: 11:59 PM | End Time: 1:08 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!

© 2012 CD Review (Review #1,190) reviewed on 9.19.2012 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Kontraban (Intro)”
Time ta start this thang off!! >>> Sounds good; sounds like you got a young Young Jeezy vibe goin’ on, and it sounds good! I like how you sound like you’re a target on this track; gotta feel tha paranoia! “A victim of 9/11, but I ain’t talkin’ towers;” nice line! Thumbs up for tha “rest in peace lunch meat” part, too! My Rating: 4.5


02. “A Problem”
Correct! >>> Beat sounds good for what you chose to rap on; your rhymes are like good kush! You know you gotta have it, especially 24/7!! LOL @ tha “pussy” smellin’ “like water!” Looks like I was correct wit what tha title’s representin’; glad you’re “a fuckin’ problem,” muthafuckin’ Toke, lol! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too; you just don’t fuckin’ stop wit this tight-ass shit, Toke!! My Rating: 4.4


03. “Big Foot”
>>> This shit sounds real great, too! Thumbs up fa this mysterious beat you chose, includin’ tha whole “Big Foot” theme! Fuckin’ luvin’ it, includin’ your whisperin’ on tha hook! Just like tha 1st verse, you’re comin’ through wit some tight-ass shit! Tha 3rd verse sounds great, too; great job thinkin’ of a theme/title like this! A 4th verse, too? Thumbs up fa contributin’ quite a bit, “Big” Toke!! My Rating: 4.9


04. “Bumm”
Thump, lol! Dat kush! >>> I like how you sound real high on tha intro; this gon be about a “bumm” on tha streetz? Tha 1st verse sounds good wit what you’re comin’ through wit! Tha hook sounds real catchy wit tha “ewe” shit; I like how you keep sayin’, “ewe!” I always have said, “ewe,” before and after things, equivalent to sayin’, “lol!” Tha 2nd verse sounds great; likin’ tha descriptive rhymes about someone’s pockets and analyzin’ these “characters!” My Rating: 4.4


05. “Tweakin’” Feat. Yung Renny
Lookin’ forward to tha newbie on tha feature! >>> Almost sounds like Gucci Mane in tha beginning, but I’m likin’ tha “bars” beginning; good start ta what’s gonna sound great! You sound good on tha 1st verse! “Tweakin’” all ova tha place wit yo crazy-ass, Toke; good shit! Hearin’ this 2nd verse, and iz this tha featured artist? Sounds like a close family member or friend of yours? Good shit wit keepin’ this shit up! Oh, here’s tha feature on tha 3rd verse… He sounds like a good reprasentative fa you, Toke! Thumbs up fa tha both of y’all holdin’ it down! My Rating: 4.2


06. “Paper Chasin’” Feat. Kidd, ArJay & Beezy Bird
G-Lane in tha house wit tha features; let’s hear this super collaboration!! >>> Whoa, tha volume went up once you came to start off tha 1st verse! Good, consistent rappin’ goin’ on, here!! Tha 2nd part of tha 1st verse (from tha one of tha dude) sounds nice (was that Kidd?)! Tha hook sounds nice; luvin’ tha whole dark vibe wit all these jointz! Tha 2nd verse iz off to a nice, fast start; I assume this iz that ArJay dude that I neva heard before? LOL, he comes Beezy Bird outta nowhere, on tha 2nd part of tha 2nd verse! Likin’ all tha fast raps; they neva stop! My Rating: 4.5


07. “Me & U” Feat. ArJay
>>> For a song that’s a lil’ softer than tha usual shit you spit, I actually am feelin’ this; you got a great vibe goin’ on wit tha hook, beat you chose, and how you are deliverin’ tha 1st verse in a nice way for these ladies!! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty nice, too, wit how you bringin’ this “very special occasion” to tha listeners… females, that iz! What’s wit all tha silence at tha end? My Rating: 4.3


08. “Madd” Feat. Beezy Bird
Anotha Beezy Bird feature! >>> Confirmed Sims production. Beat sounds like a nice, non-stop beat sound; hot shit, here! Tha hook sounds pretty nice wit them dumb-ass “madd” dudes! Nice 1st verse; you ain’t stoppin’ wit these tight rhymes! Glad ta hear more Beezy Bird on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit a nice, rapid flow, combined wit his great style of doin’ it big! Hearin’ you on tha 3rd verse, and I like how you combinin’ all kinds of topics, from gangsta ta what you can offer ta these ladies! My Rating: 4.4


½time: Doin’ it B.I.G., Toke!! A 4.5-rated CD, currently, and there’s a lot ta offer wit this mixtape!! Glad you ain’t goin’ soft on any of these jointz!!!!!


09. “Work”
Yezzir! >>> Sounds good; great “work” anthem and you doin’ a nice job rappin’ ova this beat! LOL @ you “eatin’ Cherrios,” and how you also “gon move these Cherrios;” great combo of “Cherrios!” Tha 2nd verse goes real hard, too; you ain’t close ta stoppin’ wit anything, Mr. Toke!! My Rating: 4.4


10. “Josh O.G. Lampton”
Who dis? >>> Not bad wit tha beat you’re rappin’ on, here; great rhymes fa tryin’ ta calm down when it comes ta dealin’ wit deaths. At least you don’t sound boring, here, and prove some of your addiction-type things you’re rappin’, here. Nice rhymes in tha 2nd verse, too; too bad they didn’t wanna “go ta class.” Here I am, wit a Master’s Degree in Production; gotta luv it! My Rating: 4.1


11. “Get@Me”
>>> Very hot beat start you chose; good ears! Good rhymes in tha 1st verse; doesn’t get mo gangsta than this fa tha 2-to-tha-2-to-tha-5, lol! Tha 2nd verse has even more ta offer wit killin’ ‘em wit your kick-ass rhymes! Rhymes are definitely official!! Hope that Ace (“Lil’ Nate”) dude gets outta jail, real soon!! Didn’t think he was still in there! My Rating: 4.7


12. “My Bucket”
>>> Anotha good ear for tha beats; sounds like this one’s gonna be goo—yea, likin’ this hook wit tha “ridin’ ‘round in my bucket” shit! What a great hook wit how you comin’ through wit your “bucket!” Tha 1st verse sounds pretty tight wit how you’re always stayin’ focused!! Looks like you gon have a nice future ahead of you, as one! You’re not a featured artist anymore; glad you makin’ some CDs!! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty nice; keep this shit up!! What else can I say?! Tha 3rd verse continues ta keep this shit up; this iz a perfect example of a “money” song that’s not bullshitty and not boring! You keep tha vibe up, and don’t sound like all tha mainstream rappers! I had a feelin’ dat was Butla at tha end; nice check-in! My Rating: 4.7


13. “Not Kongruent”
>>> Anotha good ear for random beats; keep this dark, street shit up!! Good job on tha tight hook, once again! Tha 1st verse has that great attitude from you, once again! On other peoples’ mixtapes, I’d consider this that typical flow that sounds like Rick Ross or Lil’ Wayne. However, wit you, you keep it entertainin’, and I can’t help but ta continuously feel it! Nice job wit how you comin’ through on tha 2nd verse, too, straight killin’ it!! My Rating: 4.3


14. “Ol’ School”
>>> Nice organ in tha beginning; great ear for beats!! Lovin’ tha southern vibe you’re bringin’ to tha table, here! Definitely providin’ a feel-good vibe to those in tha streetz, tha south, and more your toked-ass has ta offer, lol! Tha 2nd verse sounds good wit your killa rhymes, once again; not even close ta complainin’, here!! Tha 3rd verse sounds good wit all this anti-“driver” shit, lol! Toketacular!! My Rating: 4.4


15. “Hoola Hoop”
>>> Wasn’t sure what ta expect wit tha beginning, but you still keepin’ that hot shit comin’ along. Tha 1st verse iz good wit what you spittin’; tha hook (whateva it iz) sounds good fa how you wanna get dizzy, lol. Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too; as long as shit’s comin’ from your mouth, then everything’s all good!! My Rating: 4.0


16. “1st 48‘em”
>>> Interestin’ title, and how you comin’ through wit tha double voice on tha hook! Sounds like dat Jeezy style like how you came through on tha “1st” joint, on here. Pretty grimy for tha lyrical content on tha 2nd verse; love your dark vibe!!! Good part about tha “T-shirt” shit; that’s gutta! My Rating: 4.2


17. “P.O.M.E.”
Endin’ it with… >>> Oh, “Product of My Environment” for what tha title stands for; sounds like a regular, random internet-type rap song for tha hook, as it’s off to a decent start… Tha 2nd verse has some good shit ta offer, too; glad you keepin’ dat mean mug on your face, 24/7! Catchy shit goin’ on wit tha 3rd verse, too; oh, you’re dangerous, Toke, lol! My Rating: 4.1


Overall: Definitely some kick-ass shit from dat boy Toke!!! You definitely did a nice job handlin’ these beats, in a gangsta/hood way!!! Keep up tha great work and keep your eye on tha music!!!
