Review #1,765: Level "Club Banga King 3.5"

Reviewed on 12.08.2017 (Review #1,765)

Tryna stay focused for some big things to happen… For now, let’s see what gon go down wit Level Club Banga King 3.5, released on Mayham Entertainment…! Start Time: 3:50 PM | End Time: 4:39 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!

Link To CD: https://www.amazon.com/Club-Banga-King-3-5-Explicit/dp/B075999H4W

01. “I Got It”

New track, here? >>> Sounds good for this beat, tha intro and how you comin’ through wit tha energy/aggression! Consistent, gutta-ass verses/track to tha fullest, here! I like how tha hook real quick, as tha beat stops and you quickly have tha DJ explain how you “got it!” My Rating: 4.6

02. “DFWT” feat. Jay Lewis & Mouse On Tha Track

I actually heard it for tha 1^st time on March 27, 2017 (I believe it was that night) while I was at Way 3000’s house. He was playin’ some shit off his phone… I never got to add it ‘cause I got it confused a lil’ bit wit how “I Bet U Won’t” was re-buzzin’… So, here goes tha official review for it…, finally! >>> Of course, Mouse doin’ tha track and tha hook’s pretty jammin’; lots of slammin’ cymbals! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty dope wit your aggression, of course… Oh yeah, for those that don’t know tha initials: “Don’t Fuck Wit That!” Hearin’ Jay on tha 2^nd verse and he soundin’ good, cruisin’ down “Airline;” gotta luv that highway! And, endin’ it wit Mouse, comin’ through wit a quick lil’ bridge/short part; nice… My Rating: 4.7

03. “Hammer (Remix)” feat. Foxx & Hurricane Chris

I’m not gonna copy/paste tha reviewz… If I already know tha songs, just look at my review on Club Banga King 3 for more: http://frankiethaluckydog.blogspot.com/2016/08/review-1516-level-club-banga-king-3.html

My Current Rating: 5.0

04. “Wit Da Yea” feat. Mista Cain

I’ono why but I ain’t expect there to be so many new ones on here… >>> Recruited Koon to do this track; lookin’ forward ta hearin’! Sounds pretty nice, here; diggin’ all tha “yea wit da yea” shit on tha hook! During my 2^nd trip to Louisiana, I met up wit a dude in G-Lane on June 24, 2017 & he was “Mr. Yea Wit Da Yea” (wound up gettin’ arrested). Definitely was a nice experience in tha hood, of course! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you and you comin’ through wit your usual, club/street-soundin’ shit, here; gotta luv it! Mista on tha 2^nd verse and it’s whateva; usual-soundin’ shit from him, as always… Hearin’ you on tha 3^rd verse and it your usual, energetic self, here… My Rating: 4.6

05. “So U Think U Can Twerk?” feat. Big Choo

>>> Beat intro from Rodnae? Yup, correct (Beats How U Want ‘Em). And, this sounds like a catchy track/hook wit Big Choo on tha hook, here… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it sounds catchy, as always… Diggin’ how this has a mix between a club and a street-soundin’ sound to it, in tha beat… Got Big Choo on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit his catchiness… A simple-soundin’ verse to just make tha track go on by… And, a lil’ bridge from you, tellin’ ‘em to continuously “bend ova;” good shit… My Rating: 4.5

06. “Mohead Ain’t Dead” feat. Hard Head, iPod Da DJ, Hollywood Luck & Robert Paulson

What…?! Lol… >>> Production from Sinista, here; sounds like it gon be good wit a “Sippi” connection, lol? Diggin’ tha lil’ “oh-oh, oh-oh” shit in tha background (sounds like “Give Me That” (Webbie & Bun B) sample?); nice job on tha hook, Lev! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and you got this energetic shit on lock, of course! “CBK: Club Banga King!” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it sounds like they have Dorrough-like vocab (“yeah, buddy”). Sounds like anotha voice right after? And, anotha? Nice “Sippi” connection, here, for one track… Too bad tha final verse ruined it; not diggin’ tha a-tune bullshit! Gay-ass verse, even tho it woulda been a nice flow fa this party track… Anotha dude on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 3^rd verse; not too bad… Their flow sounds like a familiar track from a while ago… Almost was gonna go under a 4.0, due to tha auto-tune/some aight verses, but tha vibe kept me goin’… My Rating: 4.0

07. “Gotta Lotta Respeck”
>>> A Mouse track, here… Oh, dedication to “MC Nero,” here. How ironic that I’m reviewin’ this today ‘cause an hour ago, I was at tha mountain where I shot tha tribute video from Nero, earlier in January! Haven’t been there since I shot that tribute video! I’m expectin’ to shoot a live review on there, too! Just hate that it’s 32 degrees out, again; hate tha cold! It snowed today in Baton Rouge; crazy! Sounds like a decent lil’ tribute/remake, here, wit how you comin’ through on tha 1^st verse… Likin’ how you handle/remake tha hook; good shit fa tha ’17! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ like a good verse, too… My Rating: 4.3

08. “Looser” feat. Louis Bad Azz & Philly Fade Jeff

Two “O”z? I’mma take one “O” out fa now… >>> Oh, naw, neva mind; you made up tha word “looser,” a more meaning to “loose,” lol. Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty dope from you, bein’ “looser!” Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 1^st verse; glad you always jiggin’, L-E-V-E-L! Crazy-ass 2^nd verse, here; definitely feelin’ tha vibe! Sounds like anotha version of Sam I Am, mixed with Mystikal or somethin’! Gotta luv it; gotta luv tha party vibe! Damn; must be tha Philly dude on tha 3^rd verse ‘cause I neva heard of this a-tune dude before, smh… Like, really? Why tha gay-ass voice effect to ruin things? No feedback… Anotha mixed review but I wanna still give it at least a 4.0… My Rating: 4.1

09. “He Say, She Say” feat. Bay Bay, B Will & Big Poppa

My Current Rating: 4.4

½time: A 4.5-rated CD, currently; definitely nice! Too bad a few auto-tuned parts ruined some of tha tracks but it ain’t fully ruin tha ratings! Luv all tha consistent energy at all times, Level! Keep it goin’! Neva lose tha energy!! Your energy’s why customers luv me at my job!

10. “Glock Up” feat. Spitta & Clever Kev

>>> Anotha Koon beat; definitely nice sound! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice fa this street anthem! Gotta luv that you always aim for A – A+, as far as your sound! Luv tha energy, luv tha vibes! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you and it’s pretty nice, here… You’re unstoppable, Level! Gotta luv that you embrace this BR shit and neva give up on it! I may have my self-esteem issues with my importance but I still do at least one thing a month fa Louisiana, it seems like… Hearin’ Spit on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit his typical, street-soundin’ shit, as always… Kev on tha 3^rd verse, here, pretty-much a cloned-soundin’ verse from tha Spitta verse… That’s what it sounds like ta me…; not bad… My Rating: 4.4

11. “2 Much” feat. Box

>>> Mouse track… A sketchy-soundin’ intro; wasn’t sure what to expect… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds good wit how you sing-rappin’ tha hook… It ain’t bad; fuck tha “money” shit, tho… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and, at least you have tha energy, here… Got Box on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit a decent verse… I’m glad he ain’t stop wit this music shit, too… Some of tha lyrics are kinda ehh (today’s generation wit these “likes” and “timeline”) but I’m still feelin’ tha upbeat vibe… Almost sounds like Mouse has a hidden background vocal in tha hook, at times; diggin’ it… And, we got tha 3^rd verse from you, comin’ through wit some good shit, as always… And, randomly, 13 seconds of silence at tha end…; why? My Rating: 4.2

12. “‘Bout My Money” feat. Zoe Realla & Lil’ Cali

>>> Sounds like a good beat start; definitely a catchy sound… Hearin’ tha hook and it ain’t bad… Tha beat sounds more like a street-soundin’ beat more than a club one, even tho it still has, like, tha two of them types combined… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and you “70805”-reppin’, here; good shit… Speakin’ of “Zoe,” still can’t believe he died in Ghosttown, right near my boy, B-Teze, earlier this year (on my late brother’s birthday, too)! Got Zoe on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit his cool-soundin’ vibe, as always… Glad he was able to turn from a nobody to a somebody by continuin’ to rap till tha final day… I like that “eBay, baleeve me” part; good shit, Zoe…! And, we got Cali on tha 3^rd verse, always comin’ through as a celeb… Glad he always keeps it goin’ wit what he brings to tha table… We still gotta link up—well, you & Cali gotta link up wit me, one of these dayz! I always hit y’all up when I plan on comin’ down but we ain’t link up, yet… Either way, good shit, Cali; good shit… Tha whole entire time I reviewed this, I ain’t even criticize tha “money” shit on tha hook; totally bypassed me! My Rating: 4.3

13. “Not My Dawg” feat. Lil’ Soulja Slim, Young Juve & Spitta

>>> Nice beat from Koon; definitely a nice vibe! I’m diggin’ this hook; good shit, Level! I’m feelin’ how you identify tha fakes, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you and I’m glad you linked up wit tha son of a Soulja, here! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from tha son of a Soulja and it sounds nice. I feel like he’s got this current generation on lock; he ghot a future! I typed “ghot” by mistake but feel like Lil’ Soulja Slim can turn “got” into “ghot,” like, in a trend way! Crazy how I just came up wit that while I was listenin’ to him! Good shit he spit, too; gotta stay consistent! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse from Juve and it’s soundin’ like a “gucc”-like verse; gotta dig it. Got a 4^th verse here from Spitta, comin’ through wit his king-type shit; gotta dig it, too! Nice “Noah’s Arc” ending, too… My Rating: 4.7

14. “Fuck ‘Em” feat. Mike B & Big Blaze

>>> Ain’t catch tha producer’s beat tag in tha beginning but I like how this hook/beginning sounds like a tribute/remake to C-Murder; good shit! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it sounds dope wit what you bringin’ to tha table! Gotta luv your energy at all times! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from Mike B and tha energy’s undeniable!! Just luv what y’all bringin’ to tha table at all times! Good shit! And, we got Big Blaze on tha 3^rd verse; gotta fuckin’ love it!! Just luv tha consistency he bringin’ to tha table and I’m diggin’ tha “weed from tha same pound” line; good shit! No matter what age, time, generation, etc., Blaze always has that neva-dyin’ quality! Always reminds me of tha ’06 dayz/early dayz of Big Blaze! Just luvin’ what he continuously bringin’ to tha table! Definitely an A+-soundin’ verse! Luv how it didn’t have a hook repeat; crazy shit! My Rating: 4.8

15. “She Be Screaming” feat. Racked-Up Ready

My Current Rating: 4.8

16. “Street Nigga” feat. Max Minelli & C-Loc

My Current Rating: 4.6

17. “Go Get Beat Up” feat. Tweeday & Thug Brothers

My Current Rating: 4.7

18. “Get Cha Issue” feat. Ratchet Life & Beezy Boy

>>> Sounds like a catchy lil’ track, here; nice hook, Level… Hearin’ what you got goin’ on wit tha 1^st verse and it sounds like dat gangsta shit that neva dies; good shit! Ratchet Life on tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ like he a cool dude from tha hood, here… I know I done known a bunch of Beezies from my time of Louisiana-listenin’. I may know this one but not too sure… Got Beezy Boy on tha 3^rd verse? I hear tha intro before tha 3^rd verse kicks in… Guess we gotta flip tha names in tha ID around? Hearin’ tha verse and it decent; nothin’ too-too special… Just sounds like random lyrics to keep tha party movin’… My Rating: 4.2

Overall: Surprised to not see “I Bet U Won’t” but, I guess, whatevz… Surprised to also know that this a five-star-rated review, despite everything I’ve recently been through wit Louisiana situations! Great job, Level! It’s all about that consistency, party vibes, excellent production, excellent collaborations & everything you continue to bring to tha table! Gotta keep it movin’; neva stop! Club Banga to infinity!!

Review #1,600: Level "Penetrate: The Sextape"

Reviewed on 11.30.2016 (Review #1,600)

Hittin’ my 1,600^th review right nah! Hit my 1,500^th review back on June 7^th; not bad for my work schedule! Up now, we got Level Penetrate: The Sextape, released not too long ago but before tha Club Banga King 3 that he released, on Mayham Entertainment… Start Time: 3:07 PM | End Time: 4:03 PM

01. Intro

>>> Lady sounds hilarious, especially since I’m startin’ this review at my enemy’s birthday time. My enemy always makes stupid double entendre references at my job (“small ball guy was on;” “big ball guy was on;” “messy dude was on”)! My Rating: N/A

02. “Anywhere” feat. Sayyo Feek & Mystikal
>>> Remakin’ tha ‘90s 112 song, here, between tha beat and tha hook… Not bad; a good effort for a Rodnae/Beats How U Want ‘Em beat… You on tha 1^st verse and it’s good; not much ta say… And, gotta luv how Mystikal comes through wit his energy! He, like, tha prerequisite version of you, Lev! My Rating: 3.7

03. “Sexy Lady” feat. Virdure

>>> Koon doin’ tha beat… Hearin’ and seein’ tha title, I’m thinkin’, iz this CD gon be, like, a ‘90s remake set? Reminds me of Tyrese or somethin’ on tha hook, here…; ehh… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it decent… You holdin’ this vibe down but this vibe ain’t tha greatest, in my opinion… And, tha 2^nd verse okay but why tha long outro? My Rating: 3.3

04. “Headboard” feat. Pokey

>>> Beat Flippa beat, this time… Outta tha three R&Bish beats, this sounds like it tha best one… A good vibe on tha hook, here; let’s see how this go… You on tha 1^st verse, holdin’ it down like a boss… And, tha 2^nd verse sounds catchy wit how you come through “from tha front” and how you come through “from tha back.” My Rating: 3.8

05. “Slow & Steady”
>>> Not too crazy about this whole “slow” vibe… Some of it’s aight, but I ain’t gon go crazy ova it… Decent 1^st verse from you but boring, mainstream-soundin’ beat… Tha 2^nd verse soundin’ like you givin’ out “dick” for free or somethin’, here… My Rating: 3.4

06. “Pussy On You” feat. Lady Kym

>>> Kinda silly and kinda ehh on tha sound, here, between tha hook and calm beat… Tha 1^st verse’s pretty nice, here, from you, just layin’ bidness down… Kym layin’ down some bidness fa you on tha 2^nd verse, here, as well… And, you got a 3^rd verse, here, Lev, holdin’ it down… My Rating: 3.5

07. “U Kno What I Like” feat. Rob Taylor

>>> Q-Red beat… Beat ain’t too bad fa a laidback, slow vibe, as well as tha hook… You ain’t bad on this track but that singer makes shit boring, at times… I understand you’re tryna set tha consistent vibe with these R&B/rap tracks, but I’m just lettin’ you know that I’m not crazy about these kinda tracks… My Rating: 3.3

½time: Not really my kinda shit, overall, but it happens… Nothin’s wack, but nothin’s hot; all are decent… A 3.5-rated CD with tha highest rating only bein’ a 3.8!!

08. “Ackin’ Like U Scared” feat. Virdure

>>> I hate how all these slow jamz be havin’ beat tags! It’s like, what are they tryna prove? No tightness, whatsoeva!! Still, this decent with tha hook and how you comin’ through wit it… My Rating: 3.4

09. “Put One In Ya” feat. Tucka

>>> Q-Red beat, with a baby cryin’ in tha beginning… Decent hook; nice lil’ slow beat… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and, as always, you layin’ it down… And, Tucka on tha 2^nd verse… Ehh @ tha rappin’… They should just stick to singin’ ‘cause their rappin’ don’t spark me, in any way… It’s just filler material… My Rating: 3.6

10. “Say My Name” feat. Cupid

>>> Mouse doin’ a beat, here; let’s see how he does… I’m definitely feelin’ tha beat intro fa a slow track, so let’s see if it can pull through… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s aight; Cupid’s Cupid… Cupid on tha 1^st verse ain’t too bad, here; nothin’ wack but nothin’ special… Mouse makes me like Cupid a lil’ more wit this one… Here you are on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some okay shit… My Rating: 3.7

11. “Higher” feat. Detroit & Latangela Fay

>>> Beat’s ehh… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s ehh, too… Fuck tha rest of this; nothin’ special… My Rating: 2.5

12. “Early In Da Morning” feat. Tyree Neal
>>> Sounds like a pop/R&B vibe in tha beat, here… Hook’s whateva; you ain’t bad, here… I’ono, but tha singer features shouldn’t have verses; it just drags… My Rating: 2.6

13. “Me & You”
>>> Q-Red… Way too much like an unoriginal R&B vibe, here… Okay rhymes from you, here, but this whole entire CD’s vibe’s borin’ me… My Rating: 2.4

14. “How You Want It”
>>> Anotha one from Mr. Red… Again, on tha boring tip; bad voice effects on tha 1^st verse, this time! That’s where tha wack vibes come in! My Rating: 1.7

15. “Sex Me”
>>> Endin’ it with a G-Motivation beat… Hook ain’t too bad with tha female singin’, as well as your rappin’… I don’t have anything else ta say; just waitin’ for this to end… My Rating: 2.8

Overall: I love how I started tha review at my enemy’s birthday time and there wasn’t ONE 4.0 or higher rating! With that bein’ said, this for tha R&B heads, not for me…

R.I.P. Video #48: Alton Sterling

Recorded July 6, 2016

Broadcasting from Moscow, PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog, a.k.a. Frank Calhoune, reportin' anotha loss in tha Louisiana community.

Alton Sterling, known in tha streets as tha "CD Man," was an African American who was shot and killed by two Caucasian officers, Howie Lake II & Blane Solomoni, on July 5, 2016 @ 12:35 AM, in Baton Rouge, LA. Sterling was at tha Triple S Food Mart on 2112 North Foster Drive in Baton Rouge, sellin' CDs, when a police report was issued, stating that Sterling was threatening someone with a gun. When tha officers arrived to tha scene, they tasered Sterling twice, got Sterling on tha ground while he was resisting arrest, pulled out their gun, and fired multiple shots at Sterling's body, killing him on tha scene. A later autopsy revealed that Sterling's cause of death was a homicide, suffering multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and back; he was 37 years-old.

After Sterling died, protests began to surface throughout tha streets of Baton Rouge...

A vigil for Sterling was earlier at 6 PM at tha Triple S Food Mart in Baton Rouge. A meeting for sign making & info meeting will be from 3 - 5 PM tomorrow, Thursday, July 7, at tha LSU African American Cultural Center. Also, tha protest for Sterling will take place on Sunday, July 10, at 4 PM at tha BRPD Building on 4445 Plank Road in Baton Rouge. Let's pray that we all receive justice for Alton Sterling!!

Review #1,507: Big Scoob Jones "Back 2 Da Streets"

Reviewed on 7.05.2016 (Review #1,507)

Got ya boy, Frank Calhoune, here, finna do a review—a CLASSIC-kinda review!! We got Money & Power Records’ Big Scoob Jones with his new CD that dropped just a few dayz ago, Back 2 Da Streets!! Oh, mane, can’t wait ta hear it!! Work has been so stressful, especially with that one snitch co-worker I work with, who’s so jealous of my success & overtime hours! Ugh!! That’s where, I really need ta hear dat Louisiana music, especially Baton Rouge, again! It’s now legendary ta me and all tha legends I look up to, like yourself, Scoob, really pave tha way fa what I done turned into! Y’all tha reason why I have tha energy I have!! Had ta get in tha zone fa this!! I’m also happy ta get ta this within only dayz after its release! Today’s a special day fa me ‘cause it’s 17 years that I first started doin’ my own lil’ videos (back when I was 11, in 1999)! It’s also 16 years that I first started doin’ my own daily top 10 countdowns of my favorite music out right now (back when I was 12, in 2000; still doin’)! It’s 10 years since I first joined YouTube, back in 2006! It’s also six years since I started my label, Lucky Dogz Entertainment, in 2010! Exciting day; had ta review this today!! I could’ve done a live review, though that’s real time-consuming… I decided ta get really fulla dat shit fa this review ‘cause it gives me that classic anticipation!!! I feel like I gon hear somethin’ so meaningful to where I gon prolly cry, have heartbeats & make me embrace Baton Rouge music even MORE!!! Oh, mane, why am I talkin’ so much?! Lemme get inta dis!! Also, gonna keep tha classic vibes goin’, as I’m playin’ Quest 64 on my computer fa Nintendo 64, tha same game I played when I first heard DJ B-Real, A1 Wissel, 2^nd time I heard Kevin Gates & more from Baton Rouge!! Classic day (February 16, 2008)!! Start Time: 8:10 PM | End Time: 10:02 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!

Oh, can’t wait ta hear dis!! I’m sayin’ tha same thing in all my previous ‘cause I’m that excited!!! >>> Keepin’ dat producer comin’ along, and it sounds like it gon be a crazy hook!! Oh, definitely a “hard”-hittin’ beat; all about gettin’ fucked up!!! “I be sippin’ lean, and I be poppin’ barz… And, I be smokin’ purp… Yeah, nigga, I go hard!” Fuckin’ right!!! Scoob, you’re on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit da traffickin’; luv it in tha music! And yeah, Scoob, you’re “in tha movies;” I done seen ya! You really gotta ask one person: Me!

I think I needed this kinda shit fa tha longest time, afta so much stress, and it’s like Heaven ta me!! This tha **HIGHEST** my average CD rating’s been on tha ½time, eva!! A 4.86, rounded to a 4.9!!!!! I know Young Ready used to have tha record a while back, back in ’09, with his That’s How I’m Coming mixtape! Crazy shit!!! Definitely tha most critically-acclaimed review since DJ B-Real’s Pay Da Producer Vol. 1 in 2013!! See! Y’all always keep this shit up, no matter what year it iz!! So glad my mind’s comin’ back ta fully focusin’ on Baton Rouge & all dat! Y’all neva left me; I just was on tha grind, a lil’ differently!

Imagine a DJ B-Real & Frankie pic?! That would be PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!

09. “Broke Niggaz” feat. General Mark

Can’t wait ta hear dis, too! I know y’all gon tear it up and break it down every best way possible!!! >>> Keepin’ your secret weapon comin’ on tha beat!! A “money”-like intro from you on tha hook, here, and tha beat’s definitely nice!! You tear tha hook up, Scoob!! Definitely holdin’ shit down like a celebrity!! See!! People like you are why I’m a celebrity today!! I neva thought I would be a celeb but y’all turned me inta one!! Such a fuckin’ jam!!! I ate tha 2^nd ½ of that whoopie pie during tha ½time and dat shit was official!! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, here, and this shit’s definitely nice!! Classic-soundin’ wit all tha energy!! See, I can make every drink by myself in tha Drive-Thru during my whole entire shift!! That’s how excellent I am!! Totally zoned out ta tha hook repeatin’, lol! Constricted!! My Rating: 4.7

10. “Party Like”

Ooh, I looked at tha title at 9:15, someone I’m cool with’s mom’s birthday! I done shmoked good wit her and she was 50, at tha time!! Dumb shit!!! Oldest person I shmoked with, but an excellent person!! Kinda like my plug, who’s almost 49! Gotta luv what life turned into!! Can’t wait ta “party” on Percy Keith’s birthday with tha 49-year-old, on August 18!! How many bowlz gon get shmoked?! Last time, it was six!! >>> No beat tag in tha beginning this time, unlike tha previous songs, which were produced by dat one producer I don’t know’s name… Of course, tha beat’s soundin’ excellent, here, and this definitely sounds like an anthem!! Oh, just classic­-soundin’ Rougeness at its finest, here!! Gotta keep partyin’ and jiggalatin’!! Glad your “head in tha clouds;” mine too, Scoob!! Definitely luvin’ how you come through on tha hook!! Just gotta luv tha vibe!! Reminds me of those good vibes of, like, Nelly & St. Lunatics “Air Force Ones” from 2002, lol. I’ono why that song came in my head, yesterday, while I was explorin’ an abandoned sanitarium. No matter tha age, I always feel like tha coolest youngin!! Nice job with tha 2^nd verse; luv tha hook!!! OMG, I’m feelin’ a ***PERFECT RATING***!!! Luv how I thought of my favorite shmokers before listenin’ ta this!! My Rating: 5.0

11. “#IJTDD” feat. General Mark

Ooh, a hashtag, here! Can’t wait ta hear, once again!! Wanna know what this spells out! >>> Here comes our secret weapon on tha beat!! Ooh, definitely feelin’ tha spooky-soundin’ keys!! This what shit’s all about!!! Tha beat on tha hook’s definitely official!! Wow, lol!! “I’m Just Tryna Drop Dick!!” Dope!! Here you are on tha 1^st verse and it’s definitely official wit what you comin’ wit for tha clubz!! Anotha perfect-rated song?! Can be close!!! Tha 2^nd verse from Mark sounds nice! Oh, it’s gettin’ dark out! I’m gettin’ somewhat-paranoid ‘cause I gotta work wit dat snitch 2morrow morning @ 4:00 AM!! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkk!!! But, nice job wit tha 2^nd verse, Mark!! Such a fuckin’ jam!!!!! My Rating: 4.9

12. “2 Go Head”

Looks like it gon be anotha club banga!! Can’t wait ta hear what you had ta spit on this!! >>> Slower than a jiggalatin’ club banga, but this ½ street, ½ club vibe mix sounds dope! Definitely diggin’ all tha “head” and shit, lol! I like tha “work / berzerk” rhyme toward tha near-end of tha 1^st verse! Definitely nice, Scoob!! Like how you quoted Gates on tha 2^nd verse with not knowing “what ta call it.” Definitely feelin’ how you bringin’ tha rhymes ta tha table, here! Good shit! Tha “can I” echoin’ in tha background sounds like DJ Drama and his classic, “Cannon,” lol! My Rating: 4.5

13. “Stop Hatin’” feat. C-Loc, Young Ready & B-Real

Lookin’ like a classic lineup? Featurin’ Young Ready on this; was this from, like, ’07 or ’08? I recognize tha lineup/title? Or, lemme just get my head outta tha clouds and realize that I’m pretendin’ that this new, right now, lol? I’ono, I’m confusin’ myself! Just pulled tha back cover to see more of who was featured and, ***WHAT A SURPRISE!!!*** Look who’s on it, but not credited in tha iTunes!! My former favorite, before everything went all wrong, fa no reason!! Wish we would reconnect, especially since my brother died of an overdose last year! We’re not promised 2morrow; tha time’s tickin’!! But yeah, whether I heard this or not, let’s get it out tha way, lol! >>> Fuck, lol! Beat Flippa & B-Real on tha beat; yeah, these are those classic times! It’s almost like a bonus rating, here! Definitely a jammin’ beat, here, wit you on tha 1^st verse, Scoob! Fiya shit to tha fullest!! You got this shit on lock! Tha keys at :50 sound so fuckin’ pure!! Oh, mane!!! Wow, just luv how they continue more often toward tha end of tha 1^st verse!! Tha hook’s pretty nice; definitely feelin’ it! Shouldn’t B-Real apply this title ta himself ta me? Irony?! Here we go wit Big Loc on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some good club shit, as always! Neva agin’, here! Even got Ready on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 2^nd verse, soundin’ as classic as always! Tha jail-time Ready, before he got distant with me, again, fa no reason! Always gotta feel tha classic vibes, as always!! LOL, almost fainted before tha 3^rd verse; thought it was gonna be B-Real! It’s you, Scoob, doin’ tha damn thang with tha catchiness! Good shit; gotta luv it!! B-Real must’ve blended in good, or am I nice and high ‘cause he blew by like a breeze, lol! My Rating: 4.8

14. “Bet Dat Up” feat. King Genius & Young Balmain

Looks like an interesting lineup! I’ont know these people but I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’ ‘em, 2016 style!! >>> “Secret Weapon” dude on tha beat, here, soundin’ creepy in tha beginning! Diggin’ tha “what up?!” in tha background on tha beginning; got me anticipated! Tha hook sounds dope as fuck; definitely nice from these newbies!! Gotta luv all tha “bet”s! Luv when people say dat to me! I should approach my snitch, like, “Yalp!,” and, “Bet!,” lol! Tha 1^st verse sounds pretty nice from this Genius; almost sounds like he’s white? LOL, I’m just speakin’ my mind, here… Definitely holdin’ this down… Here you are on tha 2^nd verse, “Really rollin’ off a bean;” dumb shit!! Luv how you’re a celeb to tha fullest, here!! So glad a person like you gets ta enjoy life to tha fullest!! Tha 3^rd verse from this Balmain sounds nice ta hear, too; good job, guys! My Rating: 4.5

Ooh, iTunes says it’s 4:20 on tha length! However, I know this gon be for tha streetz! Can’t wait ta hear, as always!!! >>> Beat’s pretty smooth; definitely feelin’ this vibe! Reminds me of hot weather; real rhymes, here! Definitely feelin’ how you comin’ through on tha 1^st verse! Glad blessings have always come your way!! Gotta keep this shit goin’!! Definitely feelin’ tha hook, even though I try not ta think that “tha game ain’t tha same, mane.” My mind’s always set ta 2008; I always feel like 19, every day, even though I’m 28! Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice, too! Oh, this gives me such a nostalgic feeling! Even though I’m anticipatin’ visitin’ Baton Rouge in tha future, I still feel like I’ll neva get on vacation or go to Florida again! Too much workin’ and they rely on me way too much!! Six dayz a week fa six months and counting!! I was ‘pose ta work two Saturdays and I just worked my 25^th one, this year!! I don’t mind tha money, but, damn! Tha 3^rd verse’s soundin’ nice, here; makes me wonder what this world gon be like, next! My Rating: 4.5

16. “Still Jiggin’” feat. Level & Da Jiggalaters

Ooh, bonus tracks!! Yeah!! Always anticipatin’ to tha max!! Feelin’ like I ain’t hear this one before?! >>> Q-Red on tha beat, here!! Almost thought that was him on tha pre-hook but it’s Sam I Am with Level, ya dig?! Ooh, Level tearin’ up tha hook, here!! Really diggin’ tha “Roll On” shit from tha Big Tymers on tha sample, too!! And, we got Level on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit tha “pillz,” as he eats “‘em all at tha dinner table!” Yeah, Level!! “2016;” it’s official!!! Definitely a sick 1^st verse ta vibe to at all times!! And, it’s wild, here, wit Sam I Am on tha 2^nd verse!! He anotha dude I first heard on February 16—might’ve been 17^th, 2008 ‘cause that review I done did, Big Jay’s Pyrex Radio Vol. 4: From Crumbz 2 Brickz, took me two dayz ta review ‘cause I was reviewin’ a CD a month, back then! Dope shit on tha 2^nd verse, includin’ when I heard D-So & them do they thang, too! Definitely dope shit from Scoob on tha 3^rd verse, here!! It’s all about bein’ tha most resistant and consistent!! Keepin’ this shit goin’ wit T-Lo on tha final part, here! Dumb shit, especially when two months ago, tha Jukebox Challenge featured my radio edit to T-Lo’s “All Day”, with my dog bark in tha beginning!! My Rating: 5.0

17. “Swaggalatin’” feat. Lil’ Josh, Sam I Am & Kid Bob
I would go with “Swaggalatin’”, with an “I” than an “E”. But, I’m anticipatin’ this collab ta end thangz off!! Let’s do dis!!! Tha final one!!! Let’s end it BIG!!!! >>> Beat Flippa doin’ tha track and, last year, on June 30, his Street Certified III CD was tha 2^nd CD I reviewed while high (1^st in my room, not live)! That was a sick review and this iz followin’ its tracks!! Tha hook sounds familiar, like last year, but I’m still actin’ like this a brand-new review, overall! Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit dat good shit ta go off to! Gotta luv tha hook wit you on it; you can’t be denied, Scoob!! We are tha best celebrities!!! Josh on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit dat dumb shit, as always! Can’t be denied; can’t be aged; can’t be touched!!! Beat kinda got a touch before Sam’s verse, blowin’ dem trumpets!! Here comes Sam on tha 3^rd verse, doin’ tha damn thang! Always “fulla tabs,” even though he ‘ont, “Fuck wit barz;” Sam-Tha-Man, lol! And, endin’ it wit a newbie, here (Kid Bob), comin’ through wit some nice shit… Sounds like a younger, ’02 version of Lil’ Wayne? Kinda in tha voice; nice anticipation! My Rating: 4.7

Overall: I see this goin’ down as my best review eva!!! I believe I set a record for tha average CD rating (4.7941, rounded to a 4.8)!!! Each and every song had such fiya production!! Your flow, your rhymes, your topics, your style; everything!! Tha features!! Everything was top-notch and pure to tha fuckin’ bone!!!!! When I review shit like this, I always think ta myself, “There’ll neva be anotha Street Certified; there’ll neva be anotha Pay Da Producer Vol. 1; there’ll neva be anotha yada-yada-yada…” However, with this CD, this proved them wrong!! There’s still hope in tha Baton Rouge game and I’m glad you bring longevity to tha table, Scoob!! One of my biggest influences!!! One of tha best!! Hope you really like this review, as always!! Enjoy every moment of it!! I’ont get ta review like I used to; I’ont get somethin’ so pure like this, that often!!! I try and tell Doe-Doe that, who’s lost touch wit tha music and shit. It breaks my heart ta know that those that are so talented aren’t feelin’ tha game, anymore… So, on July 22, I gon go outta my way and restore some music life inta Doe-Doe; hopefully, it’ll work! I know it gon change his life; can’t wait till it happens! I picked July 22, 2016 ‘cause I took his birthday, added up tha birth month, birth day & birth year, and got a sum of 122. Then, I took tha snitch’s birthday, backwards, subtracted it, and I got a sum of 57. When you subtract 57 from 122, you get a sum of 65. July 22, 2016’s numbers added, 07 + 22 + 20 + 16 = 65!! That’s how I got tha numerology date fa my boy, Doe-Doe, outta Baton Rouge!! Donald Watson—think, “Watson” in tha last name!! “Mr. Watson, let’s get it poppin’!!” Jiggaz!!! It’s almost like a legendary reward’s happening—a surprise!! Can’t wait!! I gon keep holdin’ y’all down!! You know I had ta buy this album/give you money, Scoob!!!

Average CD Rating:       4.8 (automatically a 5-star-rated CD)

Can’t believe how hard of a battle to decide what was gon be on tha top for 5.0s!! Can’t believe there was four of ‘em!! That’s record-setting!! Tha previous record was set on March 27, 2009 with Young Ready’s That’s How I’m Coming! Now, you own that record, Scoob!! Also, one of tha best reviewz eva!! I believe Lokee’s I Got Dis had tha highest score of 4.82 for tha average CD rating, unadjusted; you had 4.7941! Still, Lokee’s was short; this was a full album! Best full album, Scoob!! Excellent at its finest!! Almost wanted ta shoot this live, but I wanted to focus on it as much as possible! I got ta do “I’m A Dog” live, though, to film somethin’ for my video success!! But yeah, keep doin’ tha damn thang!!!
