Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

02. “Money-Making Mission”
Producer: Platinum Fingers

>>> I can hear tha H-Town vibe in tha production, here; let’s swang on ‘em…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s a good hustle anthem; really feelin’ tha eerie strings added to tha hook! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s pretty nice, just shinin’ wit dem “$200.00 shades”; huh bruh! Also, “Louisiana license plate”; fuckin’ well right! Keepin’ this thang movin’ with tha 2^nd verse & it sounds nice to relax to. Tha flow may be calm but tha content all tha way gangsta; nice, relaxin’ mix. Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit some more laidbackness; not bad, overall… Now, with 53 seconds left, tha chick sings tha southern lifestyle, as well as anotha hook; cool… My Rating: 4.2

 

 

03. “Big Bizness”

>>> Sounds like a decent beat fa a “freestyle”, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good; props fa tha “blunt on tha table”! Gots to!! Hearin’ tha hook & it str8; just a long “freestyle”, basically—well, I would consider it more a track than “freestyle”. Keepin’ this goin’ with tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice, as well; how much longer will I be interested in this, tho…? Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 3^rd verse & it aight; prolly coulda just had one or two verses, instead, since it’s a “freestyle”. My Rating: 3.6

 

 

06. “Neighborhood Superstars”
Producer: Platinum Fingers

>>> Sounds like anotha laidback, long joint… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it ain’t bad; how long will I be interested? Do I need a beach & a big bed? Hearin’ tha hook & I’ono if I’ll fuck wit this slow, R&B-type shit. Prolly coulda had this as an ending song, instead? Keepin’ it goin’ with a female on tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ okay; as far as me lovin’ this, it ain’t gon happen, tho. Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse, this tyme & it’s aight fa a slow jam’s rap; nothin’ else ta say, tho. Dozin’ off, as this takes forever to finish; I’ono, that’s just my mood with these long tracks… My Rating: 2.6

 

 

07. “Life As A Baller” feat. E.S.G.
Producer: Platinum Fingers, Big Boom & Bryce

>>> Sounds like a southern jam, here; feelin’ tha simple-but-good hook…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it ain’t bad, here; diggin’ tha deeper voice on tha mic, this tyme…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd part of tha 1^st verse sounds good; diggin’ his consisten-to-tha-cy! It’s like, tha rhymes don’t stop!! Luv tha “marijuana” & “anaconda” rhyme b4 he dropped tha mic! Now, a 3^rd part of tha 1^st verse from tha one chick, here, comin’ through with okay rhymes; I’ono what else to say. Keepin’ this shit goin’ with tha 2^nd verse & dude’s comin’ through wit a nice blend with Texas & Louisiana, here; keep kickin’ ass! Keepin’ this shit goin’ with E.S.G. on tha 2^nd part of tha 2^nd verse; kept confusin’ his voice but this tyme, I got it! Feelin’ how he blendin’ in nicely with tha Louisiana/Texas fusion; keep gettin’ it in! My Rating: 4.3

 

 

08. “Mr. Playa Hata” feat. Pimp C
Producer: Big Boom & Bryce

>>> Nice intro from tha Pimp, here; sounds like it gon be anotha relaxin’, needin’-to-be-high vibe…! Hearin’ tha hook & it pretty laidback; really seducin’ err-body, Mr. Boom? Good job & that male singer…; hearin’ tha 1^st verse & this shit ain’t bad, overall; props on deliverin’ a “G”’s golden tale. Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2^nd verse & tha Pimp comin’ through with a southern lifestyle…! Luv how he always was ‘bout tha undaground & now, I’m just 19 dayz away from turnin’ tha age he last was! Crazy! Keepin’ this thang goin’ with tha 3^rd verse, here & it’s good; always acceptable rhymin’ in my book… My Rating: 3.9

 

 

09. “16 Shots”
Producer: Big Boom & Bryce

>>> Nice, eerie beat; too bad this only 70 seconds long! Prolly coulda traded this length with that freestyle from earlier… Anyway, hearin’ tha hook/track, itself & it’s pretty gangsta; beat’s dope ta go with this gangsta-ass sound! My Rating: 4.6

 

 

½tyme: A mix of laidback, country rap tunez & some eerie, tight tracks; keep it goin’, y’all! Current average rating sits at a 4.0; let’s keep it goin’!

 

 

10. “Niggas”
Producer: DJ Dolby D

>>> Sounds like a good lil’ beat & tha hook ain’t bad ta progress on by… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good; always stay figgy-figgy-focused! Y’all keepin’ this southern shit up; definitely nice to keep it goin’! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s pretty nice, as tha Big Bizness continue to keep Big Boom company; good shit… Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 3^rd verse & I’m proud of y’all fa keepin’ y’all focus up; you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.0

 

 

11. “Bust First”
Producer: Big Boom & Bryce

>>> Sounds like a soulja’s type of anthem, here, as far as tha beat’s energy goes… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good; keep it rollin’…! Got tha hook comin’ through right nah & it sounds like a good lil’ anthem ta defeat tha “enemies”; nice… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s pretty dope; tha “grits” & “bricks”-rhymed lines were dope, too! Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ like an okay set of rhymes; strictly keepin’ it gangsta at all tymes, basically… A bunch of mixin’ goin’ on after tha verses & hooks; are we mixin’ tha whole 87 seconds of this outro? Okay, mixin’ stopped at 4:09 & now, tha beat continues ta go on its way out; pretty nice… My Rating: 3.8

 

 

12. “Probation Violation”
Producer: Don, Poochie, Big Boom & Bryce

>>> Sounds like some shitty scene goin’ on as an interlude, in tha beginning… Finally, a beat at 0:53? Yeah & it’s a nice dose of dark, gangsta shit! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s pretty dark with these “jail cell” rhymes; I know tha feelin’! Think: Wet salami for breakfast! Fuck havin’ a “violation,” tho; just do tha tyme like it’s an easy challenge to accomplish! Tha hook sounds like y’all just wanna get past this “violation”; tyme sucks that it doesn’t move faster! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s soundin’ just as real as tha 1^st verse; pretty intense, lyrically. Damn @ “20 years iz what I’m facin’ on this violation”; ouch! My Rating: 4.2

 

 

13. “Wild South West”
Producer: Big Boom, Bryce, Don & Poochie

>>> Sounds like a dope lil’ beat & hook, here; gotta rep tha “south” & tha “west”! You know what it iz! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good, as y’all just wanna keep tha focus on y’all grind! I know I do! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds like a good caution sign for tha streetz to tha unknown; great job depictin’. Keepin’ this thang movin’ with tha 3^rd verse, just shmokin’ dude “like a blunt”; deep, lol. Tha rest of this verse sounds good; can’t complain about bein’ a “G”…! My Rating: 4.3

 

 

14. “Wonder Who (Before They Bit It Version)”
Producer: Don & Poochie

>>> Quiet-soundin’ vocals in tha beginning for tha hook? Sounds like it would be an R&B joint or some shit…? Yeah, hearin’ tha singin’ on tha hook & it throws my interest off; what will tha verses be like? I “wonder”… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & tha rappin’ aight… This sounds like it covers tha topic of tryna prevent a depression? Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2^nd verse & this life-of-tha-struggle content continues…; not bad… A chick on tha 2^nd part of tha 2^nd verse? She sounds aight but did she have ta be added to a decent track? My Rating: 3.3

 

 

15. “Ride For Me”
Producer: Stack (Black)

Damn @ tha 6:05 length…! >>> Almost thought it was a full-on outro or somethin’? Sounds like an okay hook with tha addition of tha female singin’… Also, five years b4 T-Pain? At 0:38, there was auto-tune in tha voice of just that one second (tha second tyme it says tha word “die,” ironically; wish “die” would apply to auto-tune)! Too bad y’all couldn’t pocket off of that idea! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it ain’t bad with this voice, so far; just anotha decent track fa me… Got tha 2^nd part of tha 1^st verse, here & this sounds like a betta voice; keep it movin’… Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2^nd verse & it ain’t bad, here; rhymes are cool with tha “earthquake,” as well. Got tha 3^rd verse, here & it’s anotha verse that’s decent; I’ono, I just feel like it’s only an okay track. Also, can’t forget to mention how long it iz! Geez, a 4^th verse & it’s tha chick! This already seems too long…! Nothin’ really to say how she came through; tha whole track was just decent fa me. My Rating: 3.1

 

 

16. “L.A. To T.E.X.” feat. South Park Mexican
Producer: Don & Poochie

>>> Sounds like a decent intro & quiet-soundin’ beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st part of tha verse & it aight with this Mexican featured; still, I’m not hearin’ anything that’s makin’ me jump for joy… Got a 2^nd part of tha verse, here & it str8; wish more would go on in tha beat, tho… Damn, no hook? That gon hurt (transitioning); hearin’ tha 3^rd part of tha verse & it’s betta than tha rest of tha parts of tha verse, so far. Props on tha southern content, str8 from tha hood…! Hearin’ tha 4^th part of tha verse & it aight; that’s all I gotta say. Hearin’ tha 5^th part of tha verse & it’s more rhymes from tha hood; not bad but bad for no hook…! My Rating: 2.7

 

 

17. “Young Hustla”
Producer: Platinum Fingers

>>> Good lil’ anthem; finally, some upbeat energy! Great job with tha hook & now, here comes tha 1^st verse, soundin’ anthemic! Great job with tha energy; glad y’all got tha right dose, this tyme! Keepin’ this thang goin’ with tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ good fa tha streetz; y’all know what it iz! Glad there’s more energy ta uplift y’all, this tyme round! My Rating: 4.1

 

 

18. “Bendover” feat. T-Pop
Producer: Big Boom & Bryce

>>> Endin’ with an ‘80s/’90s-soundin’ production…; nice! Didn’t expect tha bounce “Triggaman” beat in this one; good shit! Hearin’ tha hook & even tho tha “Triggaman” iz in tha sample, tha beat still sounds kinda dry & tha hook’s delivery’s energy iz pretty much up there… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it aight; I’ono, I can’t jump fa joy with this, neither… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it literally sounds like a Lil’ Wayne relative or somethin’? Interestin’ Weezy-like flow; a catchy lil’ verse, overall. Keepin’ this goin’ with tha, well, bridge & it’s nice; kinda seemed like a 3^rd verse, at first… My Rating: 3.8

 

 

Overall: Most of this went over well; felt more decent than excitin’ ta me but it was still nice ta review & listen to this. Now, just keep holdin’ dat 337 down, Big Boom! Louisiana gotta always stand up!!

>>> It’s a shame when you “can’t get a job ‘cause of [your] contaminated piss;” jobs judge bad like dat! “Piss” should always be “contaminated,” ya dig? Good 1^st verse, here, strictly keepin’ it “G”…! Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds like a cool lil’ hook. Almost sounds like somethin’ from tha north would release? Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ good, once again… Speakin’ of NY, I almost thought I heard “shoot ‘em,” in tha background, as a sample. Big Noyd used dat fa his 2003 shit wit Mobb Deep, which was dope; NY throwbackness! Tha rest of this iz pretty nice; great job wit dis one…! My Rating: 4.1

03. “Wanna Be A Rapper”
>>> Defeatin’ tha stereotypes, here… Yeah, people like us are trapped in tha game. It’s like, once you in, you in; married to da game! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it okay; flow kinda dry/preachy-like & tha beat’s okay… Great info on one verse, describin’ what it’s like ta “be a rapper!” My Rating: 3.6

½time: A 4.0-rated release, so far; sounds good fa tha Ette!

04. “Trying To Be Me”
>>> Sounds like anotha smooth beat but a lil’ betta than tha previous one… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s okay; let’s see what tha verses offer… Got tha 1^st verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ pretty nice, I guess… Tha 2^nd verse sounds okay/good wit tha rhymes, here; all about tha late ‘90s… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and I’m diggin’ tha “D.Fall” answers to tha questions; definitely nice! However, I ask, “Who don’t have a front cover available? D.Fall!” Just statin’ facts… My Rating: 4.0

05. “I Don’t Know Why”
>>> Thought it woulda been a betta, mo-lyrical hook but it’s only okay… Hearin’ tha beat and it sounds a lil’ like a west vs. southern undaground sound, here; not bad… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it aight, here… Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice; consistent rhymes, this time…! Tha 3^rd verse ain’t too bad, here; good lil’ track, I guess… My Rating: 3.8

06. “Verbal Demonstration”
>>> Beat ain’t bad; nice lil’ southern shit, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice, here… Sounds good wit tha 1^st verse, here; good job… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it aight, here; not too bad, overall… Got tha 3^rd verse goin’ on, here & it str8; I’ll give it some props… My Rating: 3.7

07. “For The Real Ones”
>>> Sounds like an okay track, here; not bad wit tha 1^st verse and dedication, here… Tha rest of this decent; not really that interested in this track… Beat not too bad and tha hook’s kinda ehh… My Rating: 3.5

Overall: Mainly good, somewhat decent; not much extra ta say, here…

Rankings:

07. “For The Real Ones” 3.5

Review #1,748: South Gate Cartel "Chasin' For Fettie"

Reviewed on 8.08.2017 (Review #1,748)

Doin’ anotha review, right chea… This my 5^th review for today (wow, I’m really back in action; nice and focused!): South Gate Cartel, outta Lafayette, Chasin’ For Fettie, released in 1998 on Longwind Records & South Gate Records! Start Time: 8:18 PM | End Time: 9:26 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!

Review #1,711: Kenn Sonnier "It Won't Be Long"

Reviewed on 4.25.2017 (Review #1,711)

Here comes my next review. Actually, I was notified about this as early as last year, on August 14. However, workin’ so hard and losin’ interest in Louisiana music, at times, delayed me… Now, since my trip, last month, my interest has regained itself. I’m ready to review Lafayette’s Kenn Sonnier, who was featured on Baton Rouge’s YB’s Dedication Of Honor CD, back in 2015. Here’s his effort, It Won’t Be Long, sponsored by Forever Young Entertainment & Self-Explanatory Entertainment! Each song was produced by $hop With Ken, except tha 1^st track, which was produced by Mikki Gunz… Start Time: 5:08 PM | End Time: 5:37 PM

Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already.

01. “Foreign” feat. YB
>>> An okay beat but I’m ready for tha Ken ones… Hearin’ tha hook and I wanna say it’s okay but at tha same time, it sounds like tha mainstream bullshit I don’t fuck wit (once I hear “money,” that’s it!)… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds like you’re financially stable? This whateva; this beat ain’t Louisiana fa me, as well… I’ono why, but I kinda like tha 2^nd verse a lil’ betta… Has, like, a YB feel to it, fa me… My Rating: 2.8

02. “Finesse On My Wrist”
>>> You missin’ an “S” in tha title! Anyway, a lil’ betta wit tha production, here; an okay hook… Hearin’ tha verse and really, “20 dayz, no sleep?” I want your energy! I have energy but I actually “sleep,” sadly… An okay verse, here; gotta get used to your music… It sounds like you’re too much on a mainstream level, here… Bleh, one verse? Not enough to make me really like it… My Rating: 3.1

03. “Barbarian”
>>> Nice lil’ slow beat from Ken, here, and an okay hook wit you just rappin’ ‘bout random shit, here… Hearin’ tha verse and you just spittin’ random shit, here… Just random rhymes, here… I’ono if you’re completely focused… It just seems like you wanna rap about tha same shit that err-body in tha mainstream raps about… I can’t dig this as much as I wanna dig it… And, anotha one wit one verse… It’s cool that some of these songs are short but there’s no chance for more… My Rating: 2.4

04. “One Time”
>>> Really likin’ tha Ken beat start, here… Hope you don’t ruin it with random ‘money’ lyrics… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it a lil’ betta… I hear some Louisiana rhymes (I heard “Baton Rouge” and I heard “New Orleans,” so that’s a start…), so that’s good… Tha hook’s that nice beat sample that I’m really feelin’; nice… We actually have a 2^nd verse, here, and it sounds good… This was tha best one, so far; let’s see if you can top it! My Rating: 3.7

05. “808 Bandit”
>>> More heat from Ken, here… Hearin’ tha hook, which I thought was tha verse, and this sounds like betta quality, here… Hearin’ tha verse and it ain’t bad, here… Ehh, only one verse; okay… My Rating: 3.4

½time: Only a 3.1-rated CD, so far; that’s on tha weak side… Most of tha tracks don’t have that Louisiana vibe in tha content/lyrics fa me… You have more of a tryna-be-mainstream feel to your music, which iz not what I’m ‘bout. Only thing that keepin’ this poppin’, a lil’, iz tha Ken beats…

06. “Trust A Lil’”
>>> A nice beat wit a decent hook… Hearin’ tha verse and it aight; nothin’ too-too special, here… Only one verse, once again… My Rating: 3.3

07. “Bout Yo Paper”

>>> I have a feelin’ this gon be bad… Not anticipatin’ tha title and tha sampled hook… Hearin’ tha verse and it ain’t as bad as I thought it was gon be… I think this a lil’ below-average fa me, mainly ‘cause of tha money content… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and tha thought of “loratabs and xanabarz” got me makin’ me wanna feel this more… I’ll just say that it’s betta than tha 1^st verse. Still, I love how there’s two verses on this song ‘cause it’s a money song, smh… My Rating: 2.9

08. “No Pretendin’” feat. Nigga D
>>> A smooth lil’ Ken beat, here; not bad… I’ono if I feel tha sample in tha background but it’s betta than money bullshit, I guess… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s off to a nice start… I’ono, you sounded kinda random wit tha flow and lyrics toward tha end of tha verse, tho… Hearin’ dat Nigga D on tha 2^nd verse and I’m diggin’ tha beginning of his verse; dope flow… Feelin’ his Louisiana vibe on this track; good shit… Overall, a decent lil’ track, I must say… My Rating: 3.5

09. “F.Y.N.I.C.” feat. YB
>>> Ain’t realize I heard this one already till I heard YB was on both tha 1^st verse and hook… I know you said you were featured on YB’s CD but I ain’t think it was gon be a repeat song… My Current Rating: 4.1

10. “Shout Out” feat. YB
>>> This a repeat, too; you really gettin’ tha bonuses today! My Current Rating: 4.6

11. “Lingo”
>>> Sounds like a nice, slow beat, here… Hearin’ tha verse and it’s bleh… I’m not gonna die for this… I just hear all tha typical, mainstream-soundin’ bullshit and it just goes in one ear and out tha other… My Rating: 2.6

Overall: Unfortunately, it wasn’t tha best CD I reviewed… One good thing about it was it didn’t drag and I was surprised it was seconds less than a half-hour long… I still feel like you can slowly have potential if you just stick wit Louisiana content, rather than tha mainstream bullshit that’s out today… It’s good that you fucks wit $hop With Ken & YB, tho; it helps you get out there… But yeah, work on avoidin’ tha mainstream, brainwashin’ bullshit that err-body be on…

Rankings:

11.        “Barbarian” 2.4

10.       “Lingo” 2.6

09.       “Foreign” feat. YB 2.8
