Review #548: Lil' Issue "Still Dumb (Young Dummy Vol. 2) (Hosted by DJ PK1)"

Reviewed on 6.20.2010 (Review #548)




Although a short day for me, I got a few current reviewz ta do. Because my 22nd birthday iz tomorrow, I’m takin’ a lil’ week break from tha marathon and just doin’ current reviewz and catchin’ up. Right here, I got my boy Lil’ Issue wit his “Still Dumb (Young Dummy Vol. 2) (Hosted by DJ PK1)” mixtape; REALLY lookin’ forward!! This iz tha 4th Lil’ Issue CD I’ve reviewed! Start Time: 9:21 PM | End Time: 10:35 PM


Quick Note: 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) so 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.

01. Intro
Time ta start dis thang off!! REALLY lookin’ forward ta EVERYTHING!!! >>> “In D. Jackson’s studio this time?” Good shit! VERY upliftin’ intro here wit tha beat, lol!! My Rating: N/A


02. “Believe It Or Not”
I gon DEFINITELY be interested in hearin’ what dis iz!! >>> Sounds like Q-Red “breathin’” sound effects in tha beginning; HOT shit!! Tha beat’s hot and tha hook sounds good wit you “givin’ your everythang” on tha track! You sound like you grew wit tha voice from tha previous CDs… Pretty good soundin’ and how you’re improvin’/comin’ up in tha 1st verse! Good shit fa err-body in tha BR streetz! Tha 2nd verse sounds like it has a good mainstream Rap feel to it… I like how tha ending sounds wit your gr8, motivated attitude! My Rating: 4.4


03. “Flexx” Feat. Q-Red
Not too crazy about this title so let’s see what happens… >>> Tha beat start must be Q-Red again; FEELIN’ tha HOTNESS!!! It sounds like fartin’ a lil’ bit, lol! Ooh, Q-Red’s on tha hook too!! Good job wit tha follow-up to “Whop”; much betta than what I expected!! Tha 1st verse sounds like tha Issue I luved when I 1st heard you!! Dat shit from 1:17 – 1:19’s REAL HOT in tha beat!!! WHOA!!!!! So far, this sounds like it’ll DEFINITELY make my Vol. 3 mixtape due out September 22!! If there’s a betta single for me on this CD, then it’ll be somethin’ else but there’s a good chance it’ll be dis! Good job wit tha 2nd verse too; str8 KILLIN’ tha track!!! Interestin’ echoin’ in tha end! My Rating: 4.9


04. “Let Me Roll”
Now, I’m feelin’ this title so let’s see what we got! >>> LOL, afta tha cold ending wit tha echoin’, it sounded like it was backed up a few seconds in tha beginning, lol. Tha beginning here sounds good; thumbs up ta D. Jackson on tha beat!! This DEFINITELY good; REAL GOOD!!! I REALLY like tha hook here and you’re REALLY holdin’ it down to tha fullest on this track!!! Tha long hook sounds good; dat voice of yours iz YOURS and it goes a long way!!! Tha 1st verse iz finally here afta a minute and it’s dat cool, good shit to tha fullest!! Gotta give respect ta you since you’re a month and five dayz older than me, lol. Tha 2nd verse sounds like some trouble’s goin’ on wit you. What’s up wit all tha court dates you be havin’? Ya gotta be ***ALERT***!! Good looks on tha contact info at tha end! My Rating: 4.7


05. “Circles”
You should’ve listed tha features on DatPiff. Anyway, let’s see here… >>> Scary intro but I’ma try and absorb it. “Can roll ta dis,” huh? We’ll see… Prolly could’ve put this in tha middle of tha mixtape since it has been pretty jammin’… I like tha “silly rabbit” shit in tha beginning; you sound good on this 1st verse. LOL @ tha hook wit tha odd-soundin’ (on 1st listen) singer wit tha “a chicken wit my head cut off” shit; interestin’… Tha 2nd verse must “taste good ta” tha ladies wit this “recipe;” good shit. At least this joint’s only 2:49 and nothin’ like five minutes! That I’ll give credit for! My Rating: 3.9


06. “Self Made” Feat. Lil’ Alex
LOL, a feature listed this time? Looks REALLY anticipatin’ fa tha ’10!! >>> LOL, transitioned real quick here! Tha intro sounds cool and tha beat’s pretty gutta! Speakin’ of gutta, here you are on tha 1st verse wit some gutta-ass shit, lol! You REALLY holdin’ it down fa tha gangstaz here!! Tha hook sounds pretty good; hot shit!! A to tha L to tha E to tha X iz on tha 2nd verse here and he “eatin’ tracks,” lol! “Dumb, duffy and all dat” sounded like my boy Quikkdraw from his collaboration on “Extravagant”. Really rough towards tha end; y’all REALLY gr8 on a collab!! Hearin’ tha hook for tha 2nd time and it sounds GR8 wit dat “smoke weed” part; good-ass shit from you, Issue!! Tha 3rd verse sounds good wit you on it, Issue!! Very consistent here; you just DOIN’ it BIG here!!! Ooh, all along it was E.P. on tha track; good job hirin’ him, Issue! LOL @ tha silence at tha end! My Rating: 4.6


07. “Dinner Plate” Feat. Kevin F
Good thing you listed tha feature; let’s hear how GR8 dis iz!! >>> Again, it sounds backed up from tha last joint since tha last joint had a cold ending and had silence without mixin’. Anyway, cool beat soundin’ here and tha hook’s pretty tight; gotta luv dat title!! Tha 1st verse sounds like you really focused wit who you fuck wit; good shit when I hear it from you! Shit yea, Lil’ Kevin a.k.a. Kevin F’s on tha 2nd verse and he sounds GR8; glad you ALWAYS wit your rappin’ family on your songs!! From Blak On Blak to Yes! I Am to Major Issue, y’all do it up!! Tha beat sounds like Mouse or Q-Red here but if it really was Q-Red, I would be able ta ID it easily… Tha 3rd verse iz you and you’ll “meet ‘em at their resident;” good shit! Tha rhymes sound good and catchy too once again… I knew it was gonna be “D. Jackson on tha track!” My Rating: 4.6


08. PK1 Radio
Shit, yea, lemme hear my boy! >>> Good shout outs; some of them don’t fit wit dis CD, lol? My Rating: N/A


09. “Neighborhood Gospel”
Not sure of what this title ‘pose ta tell me? >>> You sound anticipatin’ here in tha beginning since it sounds like you fulla dat shit! This iz catchy so far…; good hook. Tha 1st verse sounds good; I like tha laidback flow. Your “neighborhood” must luv dis and what you be doin’! Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ it real too… My Rating: 4.0


10. “My Swagg” Feat. Bun B
LOL, will I like it betta? Lemme rehear… >>> X-Fyle on tha track and again, tha Pop start in tha beat. Tha hook’s kinda on tha typical tip as what I would hear from everyone. Should’ve had a Q-Red production or somethin’ ta make it catchier! Tha 1st verse’s kinda typical too… Again, Bun B sounds good on tha 2nd verse; he actually sounds betta… Tha 3rd verse iz a touch betta than your 1st verse; I’ll keep my rating tha same. My Current Rating: 3.5


11. PK1 Radio
I’m wonderin’, what’s up wit dis yucky “Mr. Jones” beat comin’ outta nowhere? >>> Good thing it’s just a talk break… Okay, 45 seconds went by, anything goin’ on? I hope PK1 gives his numba so I can hit him up… I didn’t hear it now but maybe later? I’ll e-mail him… My Rating: N/A


½time: Sounds pretty HOT so far; you REALLY keepin’ it HOT like you’ve done in tha past! Tha average CD rating’s at 4.3 right now and tha production’s off tha chain!!! Keep tha catchiness up!!


12. “Headlights”
I think I heard this before… >>> This sounds familiar but I don’t see anything anywhere? I like dat hook wit tha “ol’ lady!” Sounds like some “feelin’s” in tha 1st verse comin’ out chu; good shit! Interestin’ shit about these “bitches” in tha 2nd verse. I’ve neva dealt wit some of dis shit so it’s good dat you rappin’ ‘bout it! My Rating: 4.2


13. “Rubber Band Pop” Feat. Kevin F
These titles are givin’ me déjà vu or somethin’… >>> Mod Productions on tha beat, huh? Actually, I praised him one day on tha phone for doin’ beats for you and he said, “I don’t even know him [you, Issue].” He said, “Some of my beats must float around or somethin’;” lol… So, this iz a “floated” beat dat’s pretty good fa dis. Tha hook sounds good; you REALLY holdin’ it down on all these hooks!! Tha 1st verse sounds good; motivated Issue to tha fullest! Tha 2nd verse sounds good; Lil’ Kevin F doin’ his thang fa your section! Tha 3rd verse from you sounds good as you continue ta do tha damn thang!! My Rating: 4.3


14. “Pimp II” Feat. Big Steve
A 2nd part, lol? >>> D. Jackson on this beat and it sounds interestin’; did dis beat float around too, lol? Tha hook’s pretty catchy; hearin’ all dat “I got a lotta hoes” from Big Steve’s catchy! I guess it iz real since you gave a shout out ta “D. Jackson” in tha beginning! Tha hook sounds betta; tha beat’s kickin’ good! Tha 1st verse iz you and you’re really anti-cops, lol! Guess what, Issue? … … I neva had detention, lol! I like how tha end of tha 1st verse sounds wit tha beat; dis iz tight right chea! Tha 2nd verse iz Big Steve and let’s see what he’s got… All these “hoes” but he didn’t send me tha song he was sendin’ me? Gotta keep it money ova bitches; it ain’t a secret! Therefore, I kinda might forget to comment on tha rest of it? It’s aight, it’s just a typical-soundin’ verse dat fits good on dis track. You luv tha 3rd verses and you sound good wit dis shit. Sounds like future-tense to me as it sounds like you’re at your “fuckin’-extreme” stage all of a sudden. It’ll be a while (I think) ‘til I see this day… My Rating: 4.4


15. “Hate On How I Cum” Feat. Big Eye
“Cum?” Must be anotha ladies song, lol? Or, you just bein’ creative wit tha spellin’? >>> Anotha D. Jackson joint! Tha start sounded like “Head 2 My Toes” which kinda threw my anticipation weird but yea, I guess this iz a “cummin’” anthem rather than a “coming over” anthem, lol! Tha hook sounds good wit this beat and tha 1st verse from you’s good; you holdin’ down tha tracks! Oh, you’re on tha 2nd verse now, lol? Feelin’ tha “LRG and Girbauds!” Glad you get ta see “Girbauds” all tha time! I only see people wit ‘em like a few times a year; you know how white it iz up where I’m at. Huh? Where’s Big Eye? I didn’t catch him anywhere… Are y’all voices tha same? You’re soundin’ consistent on tha 3rd verse… Oh, here he iz on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse; just a background appearance wit a ½ line, lol? My Rating: 4.3


16. “Jam” Feat. John The Baptist
Now, I’m thinkin’ this iz “jam” (jelly) for tha ladies vs. a “jam” (song); let’s see if I’m right. >>> Ooh, Q-Red on this beat; glad we’re back ta dis!! Okay, I knew I had ta be wrong; this iz “jammin’” accordin’ ta tha hook! Good job from JTB on tha hook and he’s on tha 1st verse here! Feelin’ his “cookin’” shit and him holdin’ tha verse down!! Tha hoods must REALLY luv him!! He a “loratabber,” lol!! You’re on tha 2nd verse and you’re havin’ fun “in dis bitch” accordin’ ta how you soundin’! Oh, you’re even a huge poppa, lol? “Poppin’ tab afta tab?” Issuerific, lol! My Rating: 4.4


17. “Ready”
Now, it’s just you… >>> LOL, a form of havin’ sex in tha beginning? Sounds like an R&B song fa a Q-Red beat? Good soundin’ and tha hook’s aight but if you’re here, Issue, you couldn’t just hop on it? You’re a “shy guy,” huh? You do all this “fuckin’” and you’re shy? You’re not a virgin… Tha 2nd verse sounds like you “givin’ a gurl your numba.” Interestin’… What age did you discover dat you made friends? I’m still on a mission and finally, I think it’s workin’ wit y’all in Louisiana! Tha 3rd verse has you “invitin’ her ova” too? You really are good at socializin’ and not “shy,” lol. March 3, 2010 marked tha 1st day I got someone ta come to my house (even though they didn’t come in). My Rating: 3.7


18. “Whop (Remix)” Feat. Q-Red
LOL, I didn’t know what ta expect when I heard tha first few seconds… You’re VERY late wit gettin’ dis ta me (final mix). Tha otha version made my radio show, my decade-end countdown and everything, lol! You ID’d it wrong as it’s tha “remix” here. Still sounds VERY HOT on tha beat and tha hook!! You sound dry on tha 1st verse compared to tha original version? Up tha flow like you did original; sounds like you’re just bored (e.g., “HELLO!!” turned into “hello…”)… Tha 2nd verse iz an updated Q-Red verse. Again, it sounds too boring. I almost feel like dis iz an original version and tha otha version iz a remix instead. All dat “throwin’ money” betta not be dat serious now, right, Q-Red? Save tha money for an interview fa me dat I’m ‘pose ta do fa you, Q-Red! Again, this could’ve sounded betta… My Rating: 4.5


19. “Smack-Down” Feat. John The Baptist, Lil’ DJ The RB & Beezy Bird
I guess when it was uploaded to DatPiff, this and #20 are flipped on tha tracklisting but are correct on tha track numbers… Anyway, let’s hear what dis iz like. >>> Oh, betta put “Feat. Beezy Bird” on tha ID too ‘cause there’s a particular “bow, bow” in tha beat! It has ta be DJ B-Real on tha beat if dat’s tha case ‘cause he’s tha one dat started samplin’ his voice… Anyway, catchy hook and tha 1st verse sounds good wit you on tha 1st verse! A strong-statued Issue, lol! You just REALLY stayin’ strong on tha rhymes and consistency!! Dat hook’s just RAW!! Good thing fa tha features!! Speakin’ of which, here’s tha 2nd verse and it sounds like some sex’s goin’ on wit tha mixin’ of hard rhymes? Good verse; gotta LUV hearin’ newbies and features, ESPECIALLY for tha 1st or 2nd time!! Tha 3rd verse iz more gutta here; I like tha “discount” shit! My Rating: 4.6


20. PK1 Radio 3
Lemme hear it!! >>> Sounded like a part of tha title from tha last joint was cut off a lil’ bit… DEFINITELY “his pleasure” ta mix dis; thanx fa tha thedjpk1@gmail.com e-mail! I’m likin’ how he sounds on dis, soundin’ good DJin’ and mixin’! My Rating: N/A


21. “Don’t Wanna Die Broke”
A bonus (1 of 2); let’s hear it! I like tha title! >>> Sounds like a single dat sounds good; very mainstream soundin’ dat’s good here! LOL @ tha catchy rhymes in tha 1st verse, doin’ ya thang! Tha 1st verse’s continuin’ ta do tha damn thang wit your “money levels” and consistent life. Tha 2nd verse’s good too; I prolly would say tha same for tha 2nd verse as I did for tha 1st. Tha 3rd verse’s consistent too. Once again, you’re focused. My Rating: 4.1


22. “Put Yo Blinker On”
LOL, you LUV drivin’, huh? Let’s see wit newbie Deezle on tha beat for this 2nd bonus song!! >>> Tha beat start sounds like it could be anticipatin’. Thumbs up fa bein’ interested in all my talents, Issue! I KNOW you luved dat status comment yesterday, lol! Anyway, tha 1st verse sounds good wit tha rappin’ for “tha club;” lookin’ forward to tha hook for some reason!! “Changin’ lanes in tha club?” It’s a driveway in there? I neva really been to a club in tha longest time (January 2004; last visited November 2008) (or neva been to an “Urban” club) so I wouldn’t know how ta picture it. But, it’s a catchy hook… Tha 2nd verse’s pretty good too; good job wit dis shit, Issue! I think it could be a lil’ catchier so let’s see what tha 3rd verse sounds like… Sounds like dat otha song wit tha “girl in tha hallway.” Not bad of a verse… I guess it fits wit tha otha ones. My Rating: 4.3


Overall: Anotha VERY GOOD, consistent mixtape from you, ya dig!! Just DOIN’ THA DAMN THANG on buku tracks, yet, you presented 22 jointz (18 were songs) ta me outta nowhere!! Keep up tha GR8 work!! You’re a VERY consistent rapper!!!

Review #294: Issue, Big Steve & Lil' Kevin "Entertainment I Am Vol. 1 (The Promo)"

Reviewed on 8.19.2009 (Review #294)

Good mornin' (lol). FrankieThaLuckyDog in tha buildin' as it's just about ta hit tha 11:00 AM hour. Tha review I got up next iz STILL wit Lil' Issue on it, but iz a combination mixtape between him, Big Steve & Lil' Kevin! I betcha tha Kevin dude iz that boy Kevin F that be BLAZIN' tha features when it comes to Lil' Issue's mixtapes! Although thanx to tha Camp Life representative for sendin' it to me in tha mail (just tha CD), this time, there's no tracklisting printed on tha CD (or online), so I gon have ta do a blind review. My bad for not knowin' who gon be on it as well as titles and shit. But, here goes my review for Issue, Big Steve & Lil' Kevin "Entertainment I Am Vol. 1 (The Promo)"! Nice title, and I like how I review a mixtape of just Lil' Issue, then before it, a mixtape wit him and Lil' Alex. Now, a mixtape of him and 2 folks; lol @ tha growth consistently! Either way, I don't know tha age difference between tha 3; they all 2009 though. Also, Lil' Issue's MySpace link iz incorrect on tha CD: It's really http://www.myspace.com/lilissue , but it says http://www.myspace.com/lilissuesge instead. Start Time: 11:09 AM End Time: 1:09 PM

© 2009 CD Review (Review #294) reviewed on 8.19.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. Intro
Although I don't have a tracklisting, I'm assumin' for 40 seconds that this iz an intro. If certain songs come up to where I've heard them, I'll fill in title/featured artists. For now, let's see how this mixtape does! >>> This "a promo?" Wit tha 20 songs on here, I wasn't thinkin' officially that. I was just 'bout ta ask dat before I started ('cause it says "The Promo - Mixtape Comin' Soon!" on tha CD). I'll put that in tha title of this CD then. This intro sounded nice (wit a nice beat), although there shouldn't have been a cold ending (for a mixtape); should just either cut off or end flat at :00 remainin'. My Rating: N/A


02.
Tha 1st song startin' thangz off... Just like tha previous Lil' Issue CDs, let's start tha 3rd one off wit a BANGA! 3x a charm here!! >>> Yea, Issue in tha beginning, and throwin' in that dumb shit for tha beginning! It's all about "Yes! I Am Entertainment" on this shit, so shout out ta you givin' yourself props here. Feelin' tha rhymes here; definitely a nice 1st verse wit that attitude, Issue! Tha 2nd verse here from dat boy Big Steve "showin' his ass off everytime;" nice job on tha 1st 1/4 of tha 2nd verse!! Wow, dat boy Lil' Kevin (yup, Kevin F) on tha 2nd 1/4, doin' a REAL, REAL nice job!!! Big Steve on tha 3rd 1/4, STILL doin' a nice job!!! Kevin got back on tha 4th 1/4, soundin' EVEN BETTA how he "so impolite how he SHIT ON THA MIC;" REAL TIGHT!!! Anotha banga ta start tha mixtape off; 3x a charm right here!!! My Rating: 4.5


03.
It has 5:12 on tha length... I have an idea of what it iz (if it iz what I think it iz); let's see... >>> Nope, it ain't X-Fyle on tha track/that song wit Bun B, so this could be a REAL nice plus!! Actually, sounds like a HUGE heart-grabber on tha hook here wit tha "I'm goin' polo, goin' polo" in tha beginning!!! YEA!! THA HOOK IZ STR8 POLO'D UP!!!!! "Rockin' polo like a big dawg;" that's watz good!! That 1st verse REAL NICE, doin' tha thang wit tha "polo & fulla drugs" part!!! LOL @ tha "horses everywhere;" I get dat line 'cause polos have tha horses on 'em! Glad he buyin' "for his dawgs" also; that's REALLY watz good!! Such a BIG anthem that should sound perfect if tha last 2 verses do tha DAMN thang!!! Yea, tha 2nd verse here, soundin' REAL, REAL nice wit tha "sag my pants" and tha "boxers polo" part too; nothin' COMES CLOSE here!!!!! Even "can hear his ears pop;" that's how EXTREME this song iz!!! REAL nice job on tha 2nd verse, still goin' for that perfect rating!! Yea, here's dat boy Issue on tha 3rd verse here, smokin' buku shit here wit tha polo ta match!! I swear, it's ALWAYS about dat boy Issue on tha final verse of each song 'cause it sounds REAL, REAL good!!! EXTREMELY swagged out here!!! Tha hook repeated an extra time luckily, and although I thought tha beat stopped at 5:00 flat, it continued!! Gotta have it 100 here!! This tha 1st perfect rated song I EVA rated WITHOUT knowin' title/featured artist(s)!!! My Rating: 5.0


04.
How can we follow up from that HUGE-ASS song?!? >>> Sounds like it back to that dumb shit like Song #2. Yea, this ANOTHA REAL NICE joint!!! Glad Issue "ackin' a asshole" on this shit!! WHAT A REAL NICE HOOK!!! Str8 Baton Rouge shit right here!!! Tha "ack a asshole" part repeated an extra time for tha hook, so you KNOW this iz official!! Tha 1st verse here from Issue, and it's CRAZY!!! REALLY "fulla dat shit" and "fulla dat green," so it's a DEFINITELY 225 anthem here!!!!! Even got sexual here for tha ladies wit tha "gimme head and lick all ova my balls" part; just STR8 perfection here from dat boy Issue!!! Tha 2nd verse here, and it's NICE and upbeat; GREAT-ASS flow!!!!! "Infactuated wit money, boy, I'm a moneyologist;" mega plus to you, boy! Wit "money out tha ass," y'all should EASILY be able ta buy a promotional commercial from me for either $50 or $75 ($75 recommended 'cause it a minute long)! I believe Issue again here on tha 3rd verse, doin' nothin' but that GREAT SHIT here!!! Nice job right there, and it's a 1/2 verse 'cause tha 2nd 1/2 of tha 3rd verse was takin' ova from one of your team members; REAL GREAT attitude on this shit!!! I believe this anotha perfect song; 2 in a row!!! My Rating: 5.0


05.
Still comin' through REAL, REAL STRONG!!!!! Up next iz... >>> A lil' slower than tha last song, but still comin' through NICE! Tha hook iz DEFINITELY on that hood shit, and tha 1st verse here from a female, doin' a NICE job here!! That hook just FULLA money as Issue "throws it to tha sky;" GREAT shit again!!! Sounds like Issue gon be on tha 2nd verse... YES, HE IZ!! "Stack doe, sorta like dem legos," so that's a plus! Definitely feelin' ya verse right there; keep this shit comin'!! I really liked how tha dude on tha 3rd verse said "looook" at 2:50, seconds away from tha verse; I fuckin' luv black people to tha fullest, ya dig!! Real nice soundin' here wit tha attitude & flowin' of tha rhymes!! I also like tha ending, as tha beat ended on tha last second wit "we one step from famous, ha!" My Rating: 4.6


06. "Catch Me (Remix)"
Next up, I wonder how good we got it this time? >>> Might be familiar, but if it ain't, this a REAL GREAT start!!! Yup, this a familiar start from tha "We Got Issues!" CD (that best song on there), so this a MAJOR plus for consistency!! For those that missed what it was like: Sounds like anotha great beat intro; you got REAL nice production behind you!! Yea, what a REAL NICE hook here!! "You can catch me on Friday, smokin' on tha highwayyyy!!!" Talk about a REAL nice hook!! Tha 1st verse startin' off NICE wit tha smokin' shit! You doin' ya thang wit this shit right here to tha fullest!! It felt like it took awhile, but tha 2nd verse iz here, and it still soundin' pretty good; you're nice & wasted! I like tha "rollin' up sum tropical" also; great smokin' shit that neva ends!! Yea, fuck tha sirens!! As long as you "gettin' loaded on tha highway," you got nothin' ta worry about. AS LONG AS YOU STAY ALERT 'cause most people that go to jail aren't 100% alert! To Add: I believe there's added shit on tha 1st 1/2 of tha 2nd verse here, so that's a plus!! Dude sounds NICE on this shit, so I'm glad for tha addition! Tha 2nd 1/2 of tha 2nd verse iz REAL NICE wit tha "mixin' adjectives wit verbs," as well as tha endin'; such a NICE song right here! Due to tha additional shit, I'll boost tha rating up, and I'll also put "(Remix)" in tha ID 'til I officially know what's what. My Current Rating: 4.7


07.
Tha lengths are always these nice 3:00 - 3:59 type lengths, so I'm sure tha same kinda formula gon come outta 'em!! >>> Sounds like an OFFICIAL Baton Rouge beat intro! Actually, it said "Q-Red on tha track," so you KNOW it's DEFINITELY official here!! A WHOLE LOTTA "lane switchin'" in tha hook, so this a DEFINITE PLUS TO THA MAX!! Yea, tha hook was 3x instead of tha typical 2x!! I like tha "get ran tha fuck ova" part! Here's tha 1st verse from Issue (as well as doin' tha hook too), doin' a REAL NICE job here!! Really feelin' tha loaded lyrics here, as well as tha attitude of bein' loaded & feelin' good! Tha 2nd hook was only tha typical 2x, but it's all good 'cause tha 2nd verse iz DEFINITELY on that HOT-ASS shit wit tha "lemme roll my bleezy;" this REAL, REAL nice!!! You DEFINITELY did ya thang on tha 2nd verse, Issue. A song only wit Issue, so you KNOW this got a nice favorable feelin' from me, ya dig!! Oh wait, it ain't ova yet: Wit only 21 seconds left, tha 3rd verse here, and I'm glad you gave a shout out ta Lil' "Alex" on tha 3rd verse, as well as rappin' when tha beat got quieter towards tha end. I don't like how it said "lane switchin'" only 3x at tha end instead of in a multiple of 2. My Rating: 4.9


08.
Tha length jumped up a WHOPPIN' 59 seconds to 4:48!! REALLY lookin' forward ta this one too!!! >>> Couldn't hear who iz on tha track ('cause it was a lil' kid), but tha female that startin' off this joint DEFINITELY soundin' nice!!! There's just UNSTOPPABLE consistency here!!! REAL GREAT beat, and I like her "you trippin'" shit in tha hook! She on tha 1st verse here, doin' a REAL nice job!! Great job on that 1st verse, and tha 2nd verse here... NEVA CALM ON THIS MIXTAPE!!! "So slip-resistant," so this DEFINITELY some shit that DON'T FAIL!!! REAL GREAT voice/flow/rhymes, and all tha shit here; it FIYA!!!!! Tha 3rd verse here, and it still soundin' NICE! "Even check a nigga out like a bag a' groceries;" TIGHT line!! Also like tha endin' wit "I gotta be in wata, bitch, you neva see me slippin'!" That beat outro (tha last unda 20 seconds) was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell that producer ta holla at me so I can keep showin' him BUKU luv, ya dig!! One of tha BEST beat outros I heard eva!!!!!!!!!!!!! My Rating: 4.7


09.
Still not even up to tha half point, and thingz are just REAL, REAL GOOD!!!!! This next song should keep up that consistency!!!!! >>> I think I might know this song... Actually, because it has a Young Jeezy "Over Here" sample wit tha "money", it confused me 'cause y'all got a lotta "money" songs. Either way, nice hook, but it all about dat 1st verse!!! Tha attitude and strength of it sounds REAL, REAL NICE!!! "All about ya money like it a part of your religion," so you KNOW that's REALLY watz good!! That's Lil' Kevin right there on tha 1st verse spittin' that STREET SHIT tha HOOD WAY, ya dig!!! Tha 2nd verse here, and it Big Steve, still keepin' this shit runnin' like a runny nose, lol! Tha flow iz just REAL, REAL GOOD!!! Great rhymes on tha 1st 1/2 of tha 2nd verse, and tha 2nd 1/2 iz my dawg Issue, doin' a REAL GOOD job also!! Fuckin' luv his voice, and he "smokin' a lotta purple," so this DEFINITELY tha shit right here, ya dig!! Tha fade-out on tha outro on this song anticipates me for tha next song! LOL, I feel like I have a GREAT feelin' for this like an English teacher who luvs their stories, ya dig! My Rating: 4.6


10.
Tha consistent length times = tha consistency of tha songs!!! >>> I'm ALWAYS correct on tha consistentness 'cause this a Q-Red production here; SO GLAD nearly every song iz a new one for me on this CD!!! Hope tha ACTUAL mixtapes that comes out ('cause this tha promo) has all this consistency on it!!! Real great beginning to tha intro & hook, but tha "whop, whop, whop, whop, whop, whop, WHOP!" shit in tha hook iz REAL, REAL, REAL catchy!!!!! Tha beat iz DEFINITELY on its shit here, so this a MEGA plus!!! I believe my boy Issue here on tha 1st verse, just REALLY in luv wit this shit, as well as "dat ass shake;" GREAT anthem right here! I like tha clappin' in tha beat at 1:21; reminds me of Yung Yola's "Keep Chewin'", which that clap pattern in tha beat I FUCKIN' LUV, so you KNOW this iz DEFINITELY watz good!!! Sounds like Q-Red iz rappin' on tha 2nd verse (although there was no "whop, whop..." shit in tha 2nd hook). This iz tha 2nd time I heard Q-Red rappin' (tha 1st was K.O. Feat. Beezy Bird & Q-Red "I Want That (Let Me Get It)" from Yung Yola & D.$.G.'s "99 Wayz 2 Grind" CD). He did his thang, keepin' this consistent, although Issue was betta on this! Yea, tha endin' had NOTHIN' but tha "whop, whop..." shit; REAL TIGHT!!!!! My Rating: 4.9


½time: Well, for no tracklisting, it's off to one of tha BEST STARTS EVA!!!!!!!!!! I wish I knew tha infos to tha tracks, but HOPEFULLY, someone will hook me up wit it! Issue, if you readin' this/luvin' this, you KNOW you have ta hook ya boy up wit a tracklisting 'cause it'll look betta when I have it online, ya heard me! Tha lowest rated song iz only a WHOPPIN' 4.5 (which was actually a good 4.5), and there's 2 perfect rated songs wit 2 4.9's, so this iz DEFINITELY watz good!! DYIN' ta see what tha average CD rating iz... *calculates* I believe we just set a record for tha ½time!!! Young Ready's "That's How I'm Coming" was originally a 4.8 on tha ½time, which y'alls iz too. However, wit deeper statistics, his was (without bein' rounded) 4.7625. Y'alls iz 4.7666... Y'ALL SET IT BY ONLY 0.1 OF A RATING!!!!! I figured that out 'cause if your current ratings total was to be subtracted by 0.1, tha average would be 4.75. THAT'S REALLY WATZ GOOD!!! Average CD rating: 4.8!!!!!!!!!!


11.
What should I say...? >>> Sounds like a messed up "Laffy Taffy" beat in tha beginning? Thought it was familiar, but it can't be 'cause this intro iz REAL catchy!! Issue, you doin' ya thang on tha intro and hook here; this must be called "Pimp Shit". This iz DEFINITELY catchy here, and tha 1st verse here... Great job on that 1st verse, bein' nuttin' but in luv durin' high school, so that's watz good, although I don't undastand payin' for sex ($30?). Issue, you're on tha 2nd verse here, doin' a GREAT job wit your attitude! Great job from tha 2nd verse; you ALWAYS do ya thang, Issue! GREAT ending too as tha otha dude on this went "I don't luv dem bitches" (when tha beat ended)! My Rating: 4.5


12.
A much longer length this time (5:01). Let's see what we got for 12 songs deep!! >>> A slower beat intro, but it has a NICE catchiness in it! Anotha song on tha sex level, but this sounds nice! Really feelin' tha slowness in tha hook, and now, tha 1st verse iz here! Continuous sexual lyrics here, and it nice and sexual! Great job on that 1st verse, and now, tha 2nd verse here... It ain't stoppin'!! Definitely into tha sexual content here! Nice job right there; hope tha 3rd verse just as good! SMH @ tha adlib in tha 3rd verse: "Scott Storch;" lol? Still keepin' it G wit tha sexualness on this verse here. DEFINITELY a real nice sex song!! Anotha REAL NICE endin' too wit tha "bangin', just bangin'" part! My Rating: 4.4


13.
Shorter song this time (2:50); let's see what we got... >>> Sounded pretty anticipatin' wit tha first few seconds wit tha beat. Catchy hook here wit that voice! Ya "betta get ya change up" ya sayin', and now, it Issue on tha 1st verse. This iz good for you 'cause this your "theme music." Great job on that verse, Issue; you ALWAYS doin' ya thang!! Tha 2nd verse here, and it still from you, Issue. Nice job keepin' yourself satistfied. LOL @ tha "purple like Monopoly" line. Tha beat almost has an older feel to it; thumbs up on this shit! My Rating: 4.3


14.
And back to tha longer songs, lol. Tha length iz now 4:54; let's see what y'all got now! >>> Anotha REAL anticipatin' intro again (just like tha last song). Howeva, this one sounds betta! Glad it longer too so I can decide. LOL, tha hook came 4 seconds early at :20? Sounded like I was payin' attention to tha beat, and then, tha hook just came in! I really liked tha "prolly fulla pills" part too! I think this tha hook in tha beginning; it sounds REAL nice! Yea, here's tha 1st verse (right before 1:00)! "Watch me explode like a grenade when I release tha pen;" EXPLODIN' shit here!!! Really feelin' tha voice/flow here on tha 1st verse, doin' tha damn thang to tha fullest! Issue such a BEAST on dat hook how he expresses it in tha 1st 1/2 of it!! Tha 2nd verse here, and it's soundin' GREAT wit tha flow (as always)! Great "my niggaz, they spark a lot; they 'bout sprayin' somethin'" part! This shit iz DEFINITELY for tha undaground heads here!! Yea, tha 3rd verse COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANYBODY ELSE BUT... Issue, lol!! "Actin' a donkey" on this shit, doin' tha damn thang!! GREAT job on tha 3rd verse; instant classic PROMO CD here!!! My Rating: 4.6


15.
LOL, it a roller coaster wit these lengths 'cause now, it all tha way down ta 2:43. You got only 163 seconds here, so do tha damn thang!!! >>> A jacked beat this time? How come tha "Start From Scratch" beat? Looks like tha 1st downfall on this mixtape (beat wise). Pretty good rappin' on tha 1st verse, but please, both those otha CDs were fulla original tracks; why a jacked beat now? Pretty good rappin' on tha 2nd verse also. Still, no 4.0 rating this time. Glad it was short, and there wasn't even any Issue on it either. My Rating: 3.7


16. "Money"
No more abnormal shit, please! >>> Whether this beat iz original or not, pretty good start. This I've heard before wit tha "run it like an athlete" part. But yea, you picked a GREAT song, ESPECIALLY for tha #16 slot on this CD! Early in tha CD, where I was sayin' there was a lotta songs about money, this iz tha main anthem. Kevin says "I'm 'bout my money, dawg" in tha hook. When I hear rappers say "dawg," you KNOW I luv it; TIGHT hook! He even on tha 1st verse here, deliverin' that street shit! I like how he said "dawg" at 1:25 also! "Str8 out tha projects," so you KNOW he on his shit! DEFINITELY a nice 1st verse!! Feelin' tha 2nd verse from Issue a WHOLE lot; "on your job all tha time servin' fiends & dummies!" You KNOW I feel you when you loaded on that good shit! Only 2 verses? I kinda am a lil' hungry for more... My Current Rating: 4.6


17.
3:01 on tha length this time. Based off that length, it could be familiar... Let's see what this song brings... >>> ??? BAD START??? WTF wit tha gay female vocal sample/boring beat/song vibe/fade-in intro? Nice job on tha rappin' in tha 1st verse though; great rhymes. Aight 2nd verse here, although I feel tha "choose right" part when it comes to tha friends. You KNOW I had problems wit that my whole life 'til Louisiana saved my life Late 2007! Even Issue on this, wit only 34 seconds left? Let's see what he got... WTF @ tha hospital sound effect at 2:45? Too short of a verse... My Rating: 3.3


18.
*Sigh* I thought this was gon EASILY be a 5* automatic rated CD (when all tha songs are 4.0 or higher rated songs). Too bad for tha 2 fuck ups, but at least I got a WHOLE LOTTA EXCITEMENT outta most of this CD!!! >>> Even y'all sighin' in tha beginning, huh? Anotha beat not really for me, although at least this song sounds betta wit tha smokin' in tha beginning. Glad y'all "fulla dat shit," so that's a plus. Good job on tha 1st verse. Tha hook from Issue iz DEFINITELY nice, and I'm glad that female iz back again! This time, she on tha 2nd verse, doin' a nice job too! Glad she wants y'all ta "roll up tha swisha." Issue ALWAYS keeps this shit hood, ESPECIALLY how he delivers tha hook! Even on tha 3rd verse this time, so that's DEFINITELY watz good!! Keepin' this shit hot at all times; thumbs up! My Rating: 4.2


19.
Only 2 songs left of this CD... >>> LOL @ tha intro!! It just went nuts!! Issue's "out his body" on this shit, doin' tha damn thang on that hook!!! He on tha 1st verse here, doin' tha damn thang at ALL TIMES! Gotta luv how he said "shiiid" at :55; doin' tha damn thang here! Yea, tha 2nd verse soundin' REAL NICE here!!! Just gotta luv these attitudes and flows!!! That "bitch, I been thuggin'" part at 1:48 was REAL, REAL nice!!! LOL @ tha "hit you wit that heat like wet laundry" part; great shit! Tha 3rd verse here soundin' REAL NICE too!! Really luvin' all these voices & attitudes wit tha way these tracks flow!! REAL nice song right here, doin' tha damn thang!! My Rating: 4.6


20. Outro
Ewe... Only endin' wit 1:07 on tha length? Must be an outro... I BETTA hear y'all talk! >>> Yup, an outro. Tha dude on tha outro soundin' NICE! Glad you "got X-Fyle & Q-Red on tha tracks" (and it's not "X-Fyles"). Why he have ta say "got Rick Ross, Pleasure P, Bun B," on tha feature part? I rated those songs quite low. Plus, they NOT LOUISIANA, so I wouldn't give a fuck anyway. But, based off of that, I guess this came out before "We Got Issues!" I didn't know tha dates, so that's why I didn't know what order ta review 'em in. Either way, keep up tha great work, LOUISIANA style!! My Rating: N/A


Overall: It became 2 hours flat on tha review... Nice job wit most of tha songs on here. I felt REAL, REAL good about 'em!! Keep up this GR8 work 'cause I LUV my undaground Louisiana shit from tha 225 ALL DAY!!!

Review #293: Lil' Issue "We Got Issues!"

Reviewed on 8.18.2009 (Review #293)

FrankieThaLuckyDog in tha buildin' right chea, ya heard me! Tha next review I finna do (thanx to tha Camp Life representative hookin' me up wit it) iz for my boy Lil' Issue, who I just recently reviewed (on "6 Dayz No Sleep (The Mixtape)" wit Lil' Alex; dat CD was a BANGA). Now, it's just him, and his mixtape, "We Got Issues!" Really lookin' forward ta this one afta tha otha one, so here goes my review for it! Start Time: 11:50 PM | End Time: 1:24 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 sound like anything too mainstream for me or have auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!

 

 

© 2009 CD Review (Review #293) reviewed on 8.18.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. Intro
Startin' off wit my boy Issue!! Let's see how you gon handle a WHOLE mixtape by yourself... >>> Like tha beat in tha background! Lookin' forward to this shit!! My Rating: N/A


02. "Hitts"
That's what YOU make!! No less, wit a DOUBLE "T" in tha title for 2x tha power, ya dig!! >>> Pretty good beat start here! Yea, I like that "drop hit afta hit afta hit..." in tha hook; VERY continuous, ESPECIALLY tha "retarded" shit in tha hook! Tha 1st verse here, and I'm REALLY feelin' this shit right here, my boy! Str8 gangsta shit (like you would say) "afta gangsta shit afta gangsta shit...," lol, right here!! Great shit in tha 2nd verse wit tha "I'm sick like lukemia" (sp?) line! You DEFINITELY goin' hard on this beat right here wit dat gutta shit! Great job here, especially wit that nice beat ending! My Rating: 4.5


03. "The Mudd" Feat. Kevin F
Yea, ya boy Kevin F on a track wit you again!! Anotha song I'm REALLY lookin' forward to that should be REAL TIGHT!!! >>> Great beat start here again! Tha beat sounds nearly equal in tha way I like it as tha last beat. Tha hook here iz just as good too! More great shit here for FrankieThaLuckyDog!! You here on tha 1st verse wit a nice, slow flow. Great shit on that 1st verse! It sounds like Kevin F on tha 2nd hook? Y'all make GREAT chemistry!! Yea, Kevin's on tha 2nd verse here, "up in that water," so this shit gon get REAL messy to where hataz can't handle it!! GREAT job on tha 2nd verse, and that hook just REAL NICE!! Back to you on tha 3rd verse, evadin' tha feds, so that's a plus! Definitely a nice 3rd verse right there! My Rating: 4.6


04. "Regular" Feat. Lil' Alex
Keepin' tha consistent ratings consistent, huh? I feel ya! Once again: No ID on tha featured singer this time? That beat in tha beginning was a slow piano, but tha beat gettin' grimy!! I KNEW by her lyrics that they weren't sad!! Sounds like tha synth in tha background samples tha "dunn-dunn-dunn-dunn" Bounce sound effect; feelin' it a WHOLE LOT!! Tha 1st verse here from Alex, flowin' REAL NICE on this beat! He just said what I just said: "flow sick;" agreed! Nice job on this shit right here, and I believe he's on tha 2nd verse too! Feelin' that 2nd verse, as it's that motivational type shit! Tha 3rd verse here from you, Issue (I think) "breakin' trees down;" MEGA thumbs up!! You did ya thang on tha 1st 1/2 of tha 3rd verse, and now, Alex on tha 2nd 1/2, doin' a REAL NICE job!! Only "16 years old?" He really that young? That's REALLY watz good if that true for this Rap shit!! Alex TORE THIS JOINT UP!!! My Current Rating: 4.6


05. "Catch Me"
Although I got a hard copy of just tha CD, I found tha back cover on your MySpace (and DatPiff too). I like tha alternatin' blue & white text on each title. Anyway, this should be a NICE joint as well!! >>> Sounds like anotha great beat intro; you got REAL nice production behind you!! Yea, what a REAL NICE hook here!! "You can catch me on Friday, smokin' on tha highwayyyy!!!" Talk about a REAL nice hook!! Tha 1st verse startin' off NICE wit tha smokin' shit! You doin' ya thang wit this shit righ there to tha fullest!! It felt like it took awhile, but tha 2nd verse iz here, and it still soundin' pretty good; you're nice & wasted! I like tha "rollin' up sum tropical" also; great smokin' shit that neva ends!! Yea, fuck tha sirens!! As long as you "gettin' loaded on tha highway," you got nothin' ta worry about. AS LONG AS YOU STAY ALERT 'cause most people that go to jail aren't 100% alert! My Rating: 4.6


06. "Fresher Than"
That title looked nearly familiar (mainly tha saying). That's 'cause I have an unreleased song that I 'pose ta be doin' wit a Baton Rouge supa producer/rapper from tha undaground (won't reveal yet), and in tha hook, I go, "Bitch, I'm fresher than a ma'fucka, fresher than a ma'fucka." I give it that NICE Baton Rouge feel wit tha repetitive 2nd 1/2 of tha hook, ya dig! Let's see how you do on yours! >>> Yea, still tha same lyrics, but NOT tha Baton Rouge style 'cause it's a Lil' Wayne sample from (I think) "Pop Bottles" or one of those Birdman song collaborations. Either way, DEFINITELY a catchy beat start, and I like tha Lil' Wayne sample. Yea, here you come outta nowhere on tha 1st verse, doin' tha damn thang, 'specially "remote controllin' tha girl!" Now, you're gettin' "wiped down by brillo pads" (sp?), which 2 reviews ago (for Big Flow outta tha 337), Big Flow was "wiped down by toilet paper," lol! Tha 2nd verse here, and Lil' Wayne ain't really "on tha hook;" it just a sample. That's why he's not in tha ID of bein' a featured artist, lol. Nice 2nd verse, although it sounded kinda short. Nice job on tha 3rd verse too; shit, it endin' too fast... My Rating: 4.4


07. "Drop Them" Feat. Lil' Alex & K.G.
Speakin' of samples, from K.G. bein' featured on tha "6 Dayz No Sleep" CD wit Lil' Alex on a Rich Boy sample track, I just heard tha Lil' Wayne sample track just a song ago. Now, we're here wit K.G. again! Let's see how you do EVEN wit Lil' Alex on this one! >>> BOO; this that same song, only a title change!! Although this title fits betta than "Bad Yella", I must say: It's a Rich Boy sample here, describin' a "bad yella bitch" here. Tha 1st verse here, and it Issue doin' a nice job here "lickin' it, stampin' it" when it comes ta what he wants. Pretty good 1st verse. Sounds like Alex 'bout ta go on tha 2nd verse... Not a plus before tha verse wit tha "excuse my language" part; no rules here! Pretty good verse, as I liked tha flow. Here comes that dude K.G. on tha 3rd verse... He real horny on this verse, so he should be gettin' his favor quickly; nice job on tha verse. My Current Rating: 3.8


08. "Sleeping On Me"
Who would be "sleepin' on you?" >>> What was tha "from tha hotel" intro? Nice beat here; sounds like sum Webbie-type beat! Tha hook iz pretty good too; gotta feel what you spittin'/flowin'! Pretty good rappin' here on tha 1st verse, explainin' what you're all about. More good rappin' on tha 2nd verse; consistent flow, although I don't have much ta say about it. This gon be a long 51 second outro? Shit, I didn't realize, but both verses and 3 hooks ended at about 3:27 into tha song. My Rating: 4.0


09. "That Thang"
Wonder exactly what we got here... >>> No Mod Production beats wit 9 songs in? Sounds like an anticipatin' beat intro... Catchy hook. Sounds like a featured person on it? Tha 1st verse right now, and you're soundin' a lil' Young Jeezyish wit your flow as you're just interested in tha shit you want wit your car and shit. Glad you ready ta "open up shop" on tha 2nd verse here, doin' tha damn thang for tha hood as well as "smokin' on dat purp." Good job on dat 2nd verse, fa real! My Rating: 3.9


½time: Still goin' strong, my boy!! Keep this consistent shit comin' for me 'cause I'm DEFINITELY feelin' ya shit!! Average CD rating currently this time iz... 4.3 FLAT AGAIN!! LOL @ tha EXTREMELY EQUAL consistentness from tha last ½time!!!


10. "Flyer Than"
LOL, ain't this like tha same title as #6? >>> Only 2:30 on tha length, and it's off to a good start, although tha "Fresher Than" song sounded betta. Good job on tha 1st verse, and I'm glad tha hook iz catchy too! Can sound like a repeat of #6, but at least this iz good!! It's betta ta have 2/2 than somethin' like 1/2! Tha 2nd verse still goin' through strong! I like it betta than tha 1st verse. LOL @ "fresh off tha tub;" I ain't used ta people sayin' "out tha tub" afta they're like 10, but at least you went from tha tub ta "smokin' on tha purple blunt!" My Rating: 4.1


11. "I'm Back"
You actually didn't go anywhere wit me 'cause I went from reviewin' a CD wit you on it to a CD wit you on it, lol. But yea, let's see your version of returnin' on this... >>> Soundin' good on tha beat start, again. No featured singer ID again on tha hook. I thought it was gon be aight, but she sounds nice! I like her repetitive "back--back--back--back" part. Pretty good 1st verse on this from you. Nice 2nd verse, as you showin' luv to tha relationship wit tha gurlz. Tha 3rd verse was short, but yea, you know your consistency and how consistent you are, so it's an automatic plus! My Rating: 3.9


12. "Weekend"
Looks like a title that'll go wit tha last song... >>> Not really any tightness in tha beat intro here; more Pop/R&Bish. I reviewed a song from RoyDezzy, and he had used this sample (prolly this beat too). It sounds better here (of course) 'cause RoyDezzy ain't that up-to-par as a rapper for me. Anyway, you're even cuddly wit tha female song here on tha 1st verse. Tha 2nd verse had a better flow, so good job. Still soundin' nice 'n' sweet for tha ladies on tha 3rd verse... My Rating: 3.6


13. "Money" Feat. Kevin F
Yea, Kevin F again!! Let's see tha POWER in this one!! >>> I hear "run it like an athlete;" not anotha repeat song I hope... Actually, it CAN'T be 'cause Kevin says "I'm 'bout my money, dawg" in tha hook. When I hear rappers say "dawg," you KNOW I luv it, so this a newbie for me; TIGHT hook! He even on tha 1st verse here, deliverin' that street shit! I like how he said "dawg" at 1:25 also! "Str8 out tha projects," so you KNOW he on his shit! DEFINITELY a nice 1st verse!! Feelin' tha 2nd verse from you a WHOLE lot; "on your job all tha time servin' fiends & dummies!" You KNOW I feel you when you loaded on that good shit! Only 2 verses? I kinda am a lil' hungry for more... I actually feel my stomach bound ta growl, lol!! My Rating: 4.6


14. "My Swagg" Feat. Bun B
How'd this collaboration come about? No offense, but when I see a big name feature, I automatically guarantee you won't write me back when I show you my 2 reviews I did for you. It happened wit Lil' Cali without me knowin' he was "undaground popular". Anyway, wit a WHOPPIN' 5:43 on tha length, let's see how that length pulled it off for a single! >>> Yea, "X-Fyle on tha track." However, not that tight for a start; sounds like an R&B song for an X-Fyle song? That beat doesn't make this song as cool as that LAST song that was much betta! Still, a good hook that keeps up wit your swag game. Also, too bad tha beat sounds like a repeatin' noise sound effect. I like tha "I need rabbit ears wit karots like this" part in tha 1st verse; pretty good 1st verse. Here comes Bun B on tha 2nd verse... Soundin' decent here; nothin' ta quote though, and this verse cost like $1,500+ I assume? Glad you started tha 3rd verse off wit "dawg." Decent verse, but still kept that swag. Please don't tell me it's 1:32 of a beat outro... YUCK!! Too long... It started fadin' out 59 seconds later! It even went all tha way to tha end wit NO silence! I guess tha "Single Edit" shortens that beat outro. My Rating: 3.5


15. "Me N U" Feat. Kevin F
Tha big dawg featured on this; please no "soft like ice cream" side! >>> Yes! Here's tha "TIGHT" in tha beat this time! Tha hook iz catchy here, as well as how tha flow iz on it! Here you are on tha 1st verse, doin' ya thang! This iz what an undaground single should sound like for you (beat, hook & flow wise)! Pretty good job on that 1st verse! Mr. Kevin on tha 2nd verse goin' hard! Too bad it was like 8 lines. Either way, it's tha greatness that counts more than tha quantity of it! Back ta you on tha 3rd verse here, doin' a nice job as you "got sum medicine." I heard "Kevin" right before tha 4th verse; he comin' back? Yea, a 4th verse, and he here!! I guess that's a plus for tha 8 bar verses! Still comin' through wit that STRONG flow & lyrics! Sounded like tha beat ended a lil' too cold/not fit as it sounded like it cut off. My Rating: 4.4


16. "All Nite" Feat. Rick Ross & Pleasure P
Anotha unexpected collab? It's ironic that Britney Spears iz on Music Choice Dance right now 'cause when this collaboration was gonna come on here, I was gonna say somethin' about Britney... It somehow "Britney Spear'd" on this CD just now? I hope this ain't too girly... >>> Anotha long length too (4:38) for a song like this. Kinda boring, but catchy hook. Pretty good 1st verse I guess; too bad I'm on a lack of sayin' shit. Rick Ross iz here on tha 2nd verse, soundin' like he in luv wit thangz. Tha 3rd verse here from you, and you do sound good still on this. I don't like how tha hook somewhat sounds longer than a typical hook. Not sure what ta rate this... My Rating: 3.4


17. "Like 'Em" Feat. Kevin F & Big Steve
Here comes Kevin & Big Steve again! Lookin' forward to them (especially since tha 1st time Big Steve's on this CD)! Mod Productions beat, please/finally!? >>> No, but a Trillville Feat. Cutty "Some Cut" type of beat. Shit, anotha gurl song back 2 back! Betta be REAL sexual!! At least tha "catch a nut" part adds that dirty attribute to tha hook. Let's see tha 1st verse... It's you, havin' sex "'til 6 in tha mo'nin'," so that's a good addition for you. Not much else in your verse; I think it was only like 8-12 bars... Tha 2nd verse here (I think Kevin)... This time, it decent. Tha 3rd hook here, and it's Big Steve on tha hook, so that's a plus. I think Big Steve on tha last verse here. Great sexual endin' at tha end wit tha "catch 9 or 10 nuts;" that's "nuts," lol!! My Rating: 3.6


18. "I Ain't Trippin'" Feat. Lil' Alex
Lookin' forward I hope... >>> I can't believe no Mod Productions yet. Hope tha endin' song iz wit him. Neva mind, it a previously heard song. Didn't see that it was my lowest rated on tha last CD. Either way, not a good look that it Girl Song #3 in a row. At least tha spellin' iz correct this time, lol (although on tha CD, there still iz)! Slow start, somewhat below REAL GOOD for me. Pretty good hook though at least. Here's tha 1st verse from Issue, and I know you wanna avoid "those problems escalatin'!" Not bad 1st verse right there. Let's see Alex on tha 2nd verse... I don't go for tha depressin' "I hurtin'" type vibes when it comes ta certain songs and shit. I don't like feelin' depressed and sorry durin' mixtapes. I liked tha 1st verse betta; an okay song. My Current Rating: 3.4


19. "Getting Loaded" Feat. Big Steve & Lil' Alex
Tha last song... *checks title wit somewhat fear* Looks like a repeat song... BUT, a NICE one!!! *Checks by rehearin'* >>> And even saved tha Mod Productions one for last!! Yup, tha original "Floatin'" song; great endin' song to this mixtape!! A lil' slower in tha beginning, but yea, REAL NICE weed-smokin' hook right here! Looks like tha beat's pace = tha weed smokin's after-effect pace. Tha 1st verse here from Alex, and it's soundin' good. Good job feelin' good at all times! I believe Alex iz on tha 2nd verse here, soundin' MUCH betta than tha 1st verse! Nice, fast rappin', and great rhymes too! Let's see how my dawg Issue gon sound on tha 3rd verse on this GREAT song... Yea, "you fucked up" too! "Smokin' on tha bleezy" (luv how y'all say "blunt" "bleezy"); that's watz good! Nice job endin' tha verse wit "you know I be...;" thumbs up to this WHOLE song, ESPECIALLY tha hook! My Current Rating: 4.6


Overall: Turned out to be pretty nice, overall. Although I don't think it has that 4.3 average CD rating by now, it still turned pretty good. Lil' Issue, you do a NICE job wit most of these jointz, so you keep your Baton Rouge name out there, ya heard me!

Review #292: Lil' Alex & Lil' Issue "6 Dayz No Sleep (The Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 8.18.2009 (Review #292)

FrankieThaLuckyDog in tha buildin' here. Continuin' these reviewz from tha Camp Life representative (who gave me buku CDs)! This next one iz for Lil' Alex & Lil' Issue, who I don't know about, and their "6 Dayz No Sleep (The Mixtape)" mixtape containin' 15 jointz. Let's see how they do wit my review for Lil' Alex & Lil' Issue "6 Dayz No Sleep (The Mixtape)"! I like that title, and hopefully, one day in tha future, I stay up for a complete 24 hours! Still tryna work on that! Start Time: 7:18 PM | End Time: 8:32 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 or have auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!

 

 

© 2009 CD Review (Review #292) reviewed on 8.18.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. Intro
Glad there's a lotta mysterious shit wit these CDs I reviewin'. I'm ALWAYS up for tha new, but don't know tha exact diagnosis of how good each one iz 'til I hear 'em! As long as there's no Auto-Tune or dances, and STR8 UP Louisiana, I'm good! >>> Soundin' like y'all cool dudes. If that's tha beat intro to tha song comin' up, I'm DEFINITELY lookin' forward!! My Rating: N/A


02. "Serve Ya"
Yea, "serve me" wit sum HOT Baton Rouge shit, ya dig!! >>> Yea, "dumb shit!" I really like how it said, "bruh," in tha beginning! Yea, DEFINITELY sum good shit in tha hook!! UNDISCOVERED music here!! LUV tha drug-type hook on this shit! DEFINITELY "hotta than a drya" wit this shit! That must be Lil' Issue on tha 1st verse, doin' tha damn thang!! GREAT job on tha 1st verse right there!! Dat must be Lil' Alex on tha 2nd verse... Lil' Issue sounded betta on tha voice/hook, but this iz soundin' like a REAL nice 2nd verse too! Glad it's a combination of 2 rappers on this mixtape, ya dig!! I think it skipped a lil' towards tha end... Shit, I looked at tha CD, and it was REAL clean; wtf?! EDIT: Oh, there's a fingaprint on it; shit! My Rating: 4.7


03. "Feelin' Me"
For a 4.7/5.0 rating on tha 1st song I heard from y'all, I must be REALLY "feelin' y'all wit this shit right now; don't stop!! >>> Got sum family on tha production here (Mod Productions), so that's a plus! Tha last song was on tha drug tip, and now, this iz on tha fresh tip!! Yea, who can't like somethin' when y'all say, "I'm tha shit!?" GREAT hook, and Alex here on tha 1st verse, doin' a nice job expressin' his freshness witout havin' a disappointin' moment! Nice job on dat 1st verse right there; keep this shit comin'!! Really hope dat boy Issue iz on tha 2nd verse!! Yea, dat boy Issue on tha 2nd verse, doin' a NICE job on this shit!! "Thuggin' in yo polo;" glad you rockin' a polo! Hope we become cool real soon, ya dig (this review should do it)!! Great job on tha 2nd verse, and anotha GREAT song from tha 2 of y'all! My Rating: 4.5


04. "Go 2 War" Feat. Killa
Looks like we gon "go" hard now wit this joint right here! Lookin' forward!! >>> Not tha best start here; would've hired someone betta on tha hook and shouldn't really be singin'. Tha 1st verse here from Lil' Alex, spittin' dat street shit here! Tha whole verse was on that street level; good job. Let's see how Issue does on tha 2nd verse... Yea, THEY "could get their issue," ya dig! More street shit comin' here, "leavin' them in chalklines!" Good job right there, Issue! There's 1:12 left, and it's all talkin' on tha outro? Kinda long? I like tha talkin' though. My Rating: 3.8


05. "G-Mix" Feat. Lil' John
Who iz this Lil' John dude? He a 225 representa? >>> Sounds like heartbeats in tha beginning a lil' wit tha poundin'! I believe I know this beat (I think). It an exclusive Baton Rouge beat that A-Mar & Dyl used for "Tha Dumb Way" on their "Raggz 2 Riches" CD (that's what it sounds like). I believe dat boy Alex on tha 1st verse, so gangsta on this shit! REAL nice 1st verse there! I like tha "pussy-ass nigga" part in tha hook; it makes it sound NICE and raw/gangsta! Here we are wit tha 2nd verse... Can't tell who exactly it iz; Lil' John or Alex? Was Lil' Ganggsta shouted out on tha 2nd verse, or did y'all say, "I'll get a lil' gangsta?" Either way, good job on tha 2nd verse! Let's see tha 3rd verse... Issue! "Body decompossin'" (sp?), so this iz DEFINITELY on dat hood shit!! Nice job right there, Issue! ALWAYS makin' tha songs REAL NICE! I like that endin' wit all tha "ya heard me"s! Was that Lil' John at tha endin'? My bad for my confusion... My Rating: 4.3


06. "Layed Back"
Looks like (hopefully) a GR8 smokin' song! For only 3:00 flat, it shouldn't be slow! >>> Really like tha way y'all sound in tha intro. Decent beat here, and pretty good hook too. Alex doin' a nice job wit his attitude on tha 1st verse here. Yea, "purple weed." Good job on that 1st verse right there. Now, Issue has ta add that spice ta spice thangz up here!! LOL @ tha "all I got iz my pride and my nut...sack" part; str8 gangsta right here!! "On tha corna wit marijuana ta make profit," so you KNOW you doin' ya thang, Issue. "Anti-social" also? I have Autism, and I TRY ta break any social barriers that block my socializin'; hope you social wit me good, ya dig! Nice job on that 2nd verse; str8 gutta shit! My Rating: 4.0


07. "Calculator" Feat. Big Eye
You KNOW I luv my math... And wit it bein' tha 225, this HAS ta be a drug song; tell me it iz!! >>> Startin' off wit admittin' that it a Mod Productions production here. Yea, catchy hook wit all tha "jackin'." Ooh, tha 2nd 1/2 of tha hook has that Baton Rouge repetitiveness of repeatin' tha title 8x; that's REALLY watz good wit tha hook!! Tha 1st verse here from dat boy Issue here, doin' a nice job here wit that calculated shit! Here's tha 2nd verse, and it sounds like Lil' Issue a lil'. Howeva, it Big Eye comin' through NICE wit that gangsta/drug-type shit! Gr8 hustla right there that you featured on this song! Alex doin' tha last verse this time, comin' through FULLA drug-craved! You want "EVERY gram" and all dat good shit! All 3 verses were REAL nice!! Great job on tha collab here!! My Rating: 4.5


½time: Great start to this mixtape here!! All tha jointz be on point, and I ain't got a problem wit any of 'em! REALLY liked tha 1st song, and tha topics that be on this shit! Glad y'all ALWAYS in tha hood 'cause it equals HOT hood shit when it's delivered on a mixtape! Average CD rating iz currently at a NICE 4.3!!


08. "Aggravated Stuntin'"
Looks like a spelling error? *Checks* Yea, it's not "aggrevated," it's "aggravated," wit an "a" and not an "e". Anyway, if tha mood of this song iz in that "aggravated" stage, this song should be REAL TIGHT, ESPECIALLY for "stuntin'!" >>> LOL, anotha Mod Productions beat here, only soundin' REAL nice this time for a start! Here's tha hook, and y'all don't want tha "aggravated stuntin';" glad y'all got an attitude on this track! Yea, "what tha fuck iz they doin' not gettin' money?" Here's tha 1st verse from Alex, doin' a NICE job on this shit!! Gotta luv "10:00 at night" 'cause when it's 10 PM, it's 9 PM in Louisiana where I'm at, I get SO lazy (usually), and make buku phone calls. Howeva, it has been kinda quiet, sadly, so I been continuously on my grind these dayz. Soundin' REAL NICE from Issue on tha 2nd verse here!! Tha "trousers" and "eatin' like a vulture" part was GREAT! Doin' tha damn thang on this shit right here! Damn, I like typed durin' tha whole song; I guess that means it was NICE and important!! My Rating: 4.4


09. "I Ain't Trippin'"
Anotha error, no less a lil' more embarrassin'... I don't like how a lotta peeps be usin' tha letter "e" in "in'/ing" words. It's sad how there's an undaground label in BR (no offense 'cause I'm cool wit them) that has an "en" instead of an "in'"; that's bad for a label name! Anyway, "I ain't trippin'" 'cause this should be anotha hood banga!! >>> Slow start, somewhat below REAL GOOD for me. Pretty good hook though at least. Here's tha 1st verse from Issue, and I know you wanna avoid "those problems escalatin'!" Not bad 1st verse right there. Let's see Alex on tha 2nd verse... I don't go for tha depressin' "I hurtin'" type vibes when it comes ta certain songs and shit. I don't like feelin' depressed and sorry durin' mixtapes. I liked tha 1st verse betta; an okay song. My Rating: 3.4


10. "Bad Yella" Feat. K.G.
Looks like a cool/different hood title here; lookin' forward! >>> I thought it was gonna say "Mod Productions on tha beat" again when I heard tha beat intro, lol. It's a Rich Boy sample here, describin' a "bad yella bitch" here. Tha 1st verse here, and it Issue doin' a nice job here "lickin' it, stampin' it" when it comes ta what he wants. Pretty good 1st verse. Sounds like Alex 'bout ta go on tha 2nd verse... Not a plus before tha verse wit tha "excuse my language" part; no rules here! Pretty good verse, as I liked tha flow. Here comes that dude K.G. on tha 3rd verse... He real horny on this verse, so he should be gettin' his favor quickly; nice job on tha verse. My Rating: 3.8


11. "Move Ya Body" Feat. Lady C
A female bein' introduced to this mixtape... Hope tha song sounds good for 4:12! >>> LOL! This a Mod Productions beat this time! Pretty good beat again, and tha lady on her Rap-type shit here on tha hook, so I'm glad she brought a club flava here! Alex on tha 1st verse here, "shinin' up his golds, and puttin' a bandanna on;" that's watz good! Nice job on tha 1st verse; thumbs up to tha swag! Lady C ain't just on tha hook, but she on tha 2nd verse! Jiggalatin' girl as she "threw 2 back;" thumbs up! DEFINITELY felt her verse right there! I'm real glad she added jiggalatin' attributes to it!! How will Issue compete wit her on tha 3rd verse? He got smelly money (lol) as he "wipes his ass wit a couple grand;" lol, thumbs up! If you got "a couple grand," you should be easily able ta buy a $50 or (recommended) $75 commercial from me ta promote your mixtape(s)! Nice job on tha 3rd verse! Very cold beat outro as it was only 4 seconds long. My Rating: 4.3


12. "Pour Me Up" Feat. Q
Went from a "lady" wit an initial to anotha initial, lol. REAL nice club title here, so this should be on tha last joint's level!! >>> LMAO! Anotha Mod Productions beat! I laugh 'cause it comes on tha intro at like :01 in, usually witout me expectin'. Tha hook just as good as tha last one here, so that's an equal plus! Yea, "get loaded, stay focused!" Such FUCKIN' GREAT flow on tha 1st verse right here from Issue!! I like tha random conversation around tha 4th line! REAL NICE 1st verse, and tha 2nd verse here from dat boy Q! Yea, even HE added jiggalatin' to his verse wit tha "pill poppaz" part! Back 2 back featured jiggalation! I think tha verses only 12 bars, but it all good. I believe Alex here on tha 3rd verse, doin' a nice job wit tha club lyrics. Double purple wit tha "purple weed & purple drank" here; glad you feelin' good! I think I like tha last song betta, but this gets tha same rating as tha last song. Nice cold ending this time! My Rating: 4.3


13. "Floatin'" Feat. Big Steve
Looks REAL consistent wit tha club-type titles... Not 100% sure on tha actual definition/topic here, so I gon have ta listen to it! >>> LMFAO!! Mod Productions on THIS beat too! A lil' slower in tha beginning, but yea, REAL NICE weed-smokin' hook right here! Looks like tha beat's pace = tha weed smokin's after-effect pace. Tha 1st verse here from Alex, and it's soundin' good. Good job feelin' good at all times! I believe Alex iz on tha 2nd verse here, soundin' MUCH betta than tha 1st verse! Nice, fast rappin', and great rhymes too! Let's see how my dawg Issue gon sound on tha 3rd verse on this GREAT song... Yea, "you fucked up" too! "Smokin' on tha bleezy" (luv how y'all say "blunt" "bleezy"); that's watz good! Nice job endin' tha verse wit "you know I be...;" thumbs up to this WHOLE song, ESPECIALLY tha hook! My Rating: 4.6


14. "On Wax" Feat. Kevin F
Looks like anotha different hood title here. Could be anotha surprise, so let's see... >>> I KNEW IT!! I called it in my head!! "Mod Productions on tha beat"... ONCE AGAIN! Y'all must have a good relationship or somethin'; nice beat/talkin' intro. That Kevin F has a NICE voice, and doin' a GR8 job on tha hook; anotha NICE surprise! "Run it [this track] like an athlete," so you KNOW Alex doin' a REAL, REAL nice job wit tha rappin' here on tha 1st verse!!! I like tha "I'm a dog wit this Rap--spelled backwards: 'God'" part; gr8 shit!! Let's see tha 2nd verse here... Soundin' like Alex again? Neva mind, I think it Kevin, and he doin' tha damn thang!! Great job wit tha rappin', and you ARE "on tha ma'fuckin' grind!" Here comes tha big dawg, who ALWAYS saves tha best for last: Lil' Issue, on tha 3rd verse! Yea, your "words go ta war," so you KNOW your rhymes fight othas ta get to tha top! I like how you said, "dawg," in your verse; doin' tha damn thang! Err-body in BR "in luv wit tha studio!" Tha endin' was REAL GREAT: "Tha day you'll kill me will be NEVA, ya heard me?!" My Rating: 4.5


15. "Regular"
Time to end this mixtape... But, Lil' Issue has a mixtape up next that I finna review afta this one, so you KNOW Issue'll be here!! >>> No ID on tha featured singer this time, yet, it looks like it gon be a sad endin'... OR NOT! That beat in tha beginning was a slow piano, but tha beat gettin' grimy!! I KNEW by her lyrics that they weren't sad!! Sounds like tha synth in tha background samples tha "dunn-dunn-dunn-dunn" Bounce sound effect; feelin' it a WHOLE LOT!! Tha 1st verse here from Alex, flowin' REAL NICE on this beat! He just said what I just said: "flow sick;" agreed! Nice job on this shit right here, and I believe you're on tha 2nd verse too! Feelin' that 2nd verse, as it's that motivational type shit! Tha 3rd verse here from Issue (I think) "breakin' trees down;" MEGA thumbs up!! You did ya thang on tha 1st 1/2 of tha 3rd verse, and now, Alex on tha 2nd 1/2, doin' a REAL NICE job!! Only "16 years old?" You really that young, Alex? That's REALLY watz good if that true for this Rap shit!! Alex TORE THIS JOINT UP!!! My Rating: 4.6


Overall: GREAT JOB ON THIS MIXTAPE!! Y'all boyz REALLY did tha damn thang, especially my boy Issue!! Keep doin' ya thang, and I hope y'all really like dis review 'cause it HARD work right here, my boy!
