Review #1,347: Lil' Buck "A Mill B4 The Deal"

Reviewed on 12.06.2013 (Review #1,347)

Next up, I finna review Ruff-N-Rugged Entertainment’s Lil’ Buck A Mill B4 The Deal. Whether I like this or not, this CD seems like a complete waste to me, as it was released a lot earlier in tha year, and I wasn’t even notified, smh. What a complete flop (as far as promotion) from tha Do Da Fool one! Start Time: 5:52 PM | End Time: 6:29 PM

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

01. “3D” Feat. Young Soulja

Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this, includin’ J Mil bein’ on tha beat! >>> Sounds cool. Tha beat almost has a Rick Ross-like feel, but wit that Baton Rouge-soundin’ quality! [[[“3D!!!”]]] Nice hook! You sound good on tha 1^st verse, here; nice shit! Feelin’ how you comin’ thru on tha 1^st verse, feelin’ “3D” at your finest! Here’s Young Soulja on tha 2^nd verse, “Live and correct like TV!” Almost sounds like your cousin wit how he comin’ through wit his voice, here… Here you are on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit rhymes that make you feel “good,” as far as your status. I’m still waitin’ ta hear from you—neva talked ta you, yet… My Rating: 4.2

02. “Nyte Lyfe”

HeartBeatz beat! >>> This sounds nice; I like how “they wildin’ on them Mollies!” You sound good on tha 1^st verse, here; this that quality music fa tha 225! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too; can’t complain wit tha quality you’re bringin’ to tha table! SMH @ 2:27 – 2:33; no need for gay-soundin’ vocals!! I shouldn’t’ve opened my mouth about not complainin’ ‘cause I just complained wit dat random a-tune part! My Rating: 4.3

03. “Turn Up”

J Buc beat! >>> Ooh, a bunny hoppin’ on tha beat start; gotta luv tha ideas J Buc comes wit!! Of course, it sounds great, here!! Tha hook’s just some regular party shit, but J Buc’s bunny-hoppin’ beat’s unique and adds excitement to tha track!! Here you are on tha 1^st verse, with no “water” needed! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, too; definitely feelin’ it!! My Rating: 4.6

04. “One Thousand”

HeartBeatz on tha track! >>> Sounds like a good start, here… Why I ain’t get a “shout out”? I feel like I don’t have value wit Louisiana rappers, anymore… :/ I’m likin’ how tha hook sounds on tha hook; good shit! Then again, I can’t relate to these jointz ‘cause I don’t know what a ‘friend’ iz, most of tha time! Kinda like wit how I was promotin’ you, it’s like, most people don’t last more than three years wit me—most only have their ‘year.’ Like, I was offered to make two commercials for you and shit, and then, everything went quiet, outta nowhere. Like, I hope I make a commercial fa this CD; it shouldn’t go to waste!! This was also tha year for artists born in 1984, too, so it’s real ironic that you were quiet, this year! Nice 2^nd verse, too, here… LOL @ “without my niggaz, I ain’t shit.” I think “without” people, I’m stronger and better than eva! My Rating: 4.3

05. “Built Like A Horse”

Lil’ P on tha beat… >>> This sounds good; interestin’ title fa tha hoes! Tha 1^st verse sounds like you gettin’ it in; nice! I like how you’re referrin’ ta sex as your “dinner” and its “plate” on tha 2^nd verse; good shit! My Rating: 4.4

½time: Great CD, so far; no filler!! A 4.4 for tha CD rating, currently!

06. “The Game” Feat. Hollowtip

X Files on tha beat? I assume that’s different from X-Fyle? >>> SMH @ tha error; it iz X-Fyle! Beat sounds nice and gangsta; nice hook, too! Good shit from you on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit dat gangsta shit! I like tha “rat … violent” part! Nice sound from Hollowtip on tha 2^nd verse, here! This statistically iz his debuting verse, as this would’ve been tha 1^st verse I would’ve heard from him. However, I got his CD, Back At It: The Mixtape Vol. 1, from him, before I could find this—matta fact, I found this CD ‘cause of discoverin’ Hollowtip, I think? Anyway, great Ruff-N-Rugged fam collab! My Rating: 4.4

07. “I’m On It” Feat. Hollowtip

HeartBeatz breathin’ life into tha track, once again! >>> This beat sounds nice, too! Shout out ta Hollowtip on tha intro! Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some consistent fiya! Tha hook sounds nice, too! “Dat dumb shit, I’m on it…!” Yes, some Hollowtip on tha 2^nd verse, wit “dat fruity in tha blunt!” I like tha “broke my navigation, I say, ‘Fuck it, I gon make a route,’” part! Good shit, Hollowtip! My Rating: 4.5

08. “What Kinda Life” Feat. Young Soulja

J Mil doin’ tha track, this time… >>> I like how tha beat sounds like it’s in tha background, here! Also, you sound great on tha hook, minus tha weird voice (“and, this shit’ll never change”—smh @ tha whiteboy “never” and not neva), that was in there! Got Young Soulja on tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through wit good rhymes. He sounded better on Hollowtip’s CD, but at least there’s no wack vibes, here! Here’s Buck on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through, reportin’ tha news that’s fucked up in BR; great lyrics fa tha streetz! My Rating: 4.3

09. “Place Ya Order”
Looks like tha “order” iz a HeartBeatz track! >>> I like tha intro. Also, I like when people say, “Bet,” at tha end of a conversation. It’s like, it looks interestin’ in messaging, but it bein’ said sounds harder ta brainstorm, and sounds more interestin’! Nice hook on this beat, too; thumbs up fa providin’ this “order” fa tha fiends! Also, good shit on tha 1^st verse; definitely feelin’ your rhymes, here!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, too; gotta feel what you sayin’! And yea, I can see so many who turn “pussy!” I’m dealin’ wit dat shit as we speak! My Rating: 4.4

10. “Nintendo”

Nice way ta end this with a J Mil beat; lookin’ forward ta hearin’!! >>> Wow @ tha beat start ta end thangz off!!! LOL @ tha hook; definitely feelin’ it!! This could easily be tha best joint on here!! Yea, “I play this shit like a game; who want next? Nintendo (Nintendo), Nintendo (Nintendo)!” Whoo, you know I luv these kinda lyrics, too!! Tha 1^st verse goin’ hard, like a level in a video game, lol! Speakin’ of “Super Nintendo,” I’m playin’ Secret of Mana for “Super Nintendo,” as we speak! Yea, I be playin’ #TBT video games when I be doin’ these reviewz, ya feel me? Tha 2^nd verse’s nice, too! Neva stop grindin’!! My Rating: 4.8

Overall: On tha back cover, it says #11 iz tha “3D” instrumental, but it’s all good, whether it’s on here or not. Anyway, what a great CD!! Only 37 minutes, 37 seconds; perfect length!! No filler, and Buck, you did tha damn-consistent-thang, here! Keep up tha great work! And, stay connected wit me!

10.       “3D” Feat. Young Soulja 4.2 (wow, can’t believe it’s my least-rated on here!)

01. “Wild Out” Feat. Buck

Just “Buck”, now? Lil’ Buck… >>> Feelin’ tha beat, here… Definitely sounds like some great gangsta shit fa tha undaground! Really enjoyin’ tha “wild out” on tha hook!! 1985 baby; tha magic iz in tha age!! Really feelin’ tha 1^st verse from you; you’re just warning people tha dangers of fuckin’ wit ya!! “Swangin’ through tha trees;” what an “ape” you iz!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice from you, too; I really am enjoyin’ what you’re bringin’ to tha table!! Hopefully, I can make some money off of ya, so you can be way ahead of tha other rappers, when it comes ta bein’ promoted!! I’m definitely interested in helpin’ you out!! Buck on tha 3^rd verse, here, and he born in ’84—one of tha best years!! Got two of tha best years on tha track, and Buck comin’ through wit dat serious shit! Can’t fuck wit him; you turn into lava pieces!! Mane, this iz a serious track right chea!! My Rating: 4.6

02. “U Don’t Know Me”
!! >>> Whoo @ tha beat start; sounds like somethin’ serious outta dat 225!! I’m real glad you discovered me!! I prolly could’ve done a live review ta this CD, but because I’m so busy—as well as wantin’ ta finally do business wit you—I just wanted to get this review outta tha way. Sounds like some serious shit on tha 1^st verse wit tha “Wells Fargo” and “bank!” Was that tha hook? Sounds like it, and here’s tha 1^st verse… Breakin’ tha “powerplay!” Nice job!! Here’s tha 2^nd verse, and you really gettin’ a nice chunk of “money!” Talk about me: I find money—scratch-off lottery tickets! I’m good at findin’ money! Nice tough outro, too! My Rating: 4.4

03. “Thumbs Up” Feat. Buck

>>> Feelin’ tha beat start, once again!! Tha hook sounds catchy, here; you know how ta come through wit dat tight shit!! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and it’s pretty nice, here!! Uh oh: From 1:23 – 1:30, you started suckin’ dick wit dat auto-tune! Good thing it was only seven seconds, so it just slides on by, without me havin’ ta take off, like, a whole point or two! Shout out ta tha boy, Buck, on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through like a supastar!! I hope ta talk ta him soon; I was him for Halloween last year, and what do ya know? Halloween 2013’s tomorrow! Great job from him; nice collaboration! My Rating: 4.5

04. “Blood Money”
>>> Not really anticipatin’ tha intro, as it sounds like I’m expectin’ a bad a-tune song, or somethin’… HeartBeatz beat… Hearin’ tha hook, and though I don’t like tha title/topic, as well as there bein’ some a-tune on tha hook, I think I can slightly deal with this. As long as tha verses don’t have it. Then, I gon skip it… Okay, 1^st verse ain’t too bad, here, but I think my anticipation’s low… LOL, just got a text from you: “Bet;” you luv textin’ just, “bet,” lol! Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad; y’all want people ta “drink” tha “blood money;” Halloweenness, lol! My Rating: 3.7

05. “Ride Wit Me”
>>> Damn, not anotha a-tune hook! This iz startin’ ta be too much, though this ain’t that bad, either… Then again, I dunno if I can get “high” off of an a-tune’d voice! Weird, not-listed people singing! Anyway, here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some okay rhymes. They’re not tha best, and tha beat’s only aight fa me, here… C’mon, where’s tha really-great vibes from tha 1^st three songs? Tha rest of this iz aight fa me… My Rating: 3.4

06. “9 To 5”
>>> Kinda a long intro, here, clockin’ in at 30 seconds fa an okay start… Okay, hearin’ tha hook and it sounds a lil’ exciting wit this girl “poppin’!” Tha 1^st verse ain’t that bad, here… I think this iz an okay song, overall; nothin’ has really struck my attention like tha 1^st three songs, so far… Tha 2^nd verse sounds like you’re real focused… It’s like, does any rapper have a problem wit “fuckin’?” Seems like it’s so easy fa y’all; I dunno… My Rating: 4.0

07. “#MollyWorld”
>>> Came into tha 1^st verse outta nowhere… Sounds like tha vibe’s good, here; feelin’ tha energy! Ooh, I’m likin’ tha hook a lot from you!! Sounds like you have a lot of energy!! Gotta luv this “#MollyWorld” y’all goin’ to!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, too! Whoo, this joint’s fulla energy!! This iz what them previous jointz needed!! “Spaceships!!” My Rating: 4.5

08. “Get 2 It” Feat. Lil’ Yung

>>> Anotha great vibe; it’s all about gettin’ loaded and shit! Nice job wit tha hook; glad you luv tha “mollies!” BTW, what are they like? Gotta luv ya fa dat! Nice job wit tha 1^st verse, here; glad you got all tha energy, once again!! As long as you feel like a big boss ta me, as well as someone who I’m dyin’ ta meet, then you’ll win everytime! Didn’t know what ta expect wit tha Yung person on tha 2^nd verse (almost thought it was gonna be a girl, like Lil’ Yungin), but it’s a dude, and he sounds tight! Almost sounds like Big Wayne’s brother, J.D., but a lil’ older? Dude tha shit; glad he feelin’ fucked up from all this shit! Yea, not “bandz,” here! It’s all about dem “xanz!” “Xanz a make her dance,” lol! Tha 3^rd verse from you’s nice, here; gotta feel it!! “Toilet-bowl niggaz,” huh? Wow, you really rule ‘em all!! My Rating: 4.4

½time: So far, this CD sounds real great ta me!! Just a lil’ decent around tha middle of tha 1^st ½, but for what I’m hearin’, I mainly luv!! A 4.2-rated CD, currently!! Now, let’s see if I can call and get a hold of you ta tell you what’s up… Okay, got a hold of you and I’m glad you appreciate me supportin’ you!!

09. “Red Light” Feat. Delwin The Krazyman & Buck
>>> Fuck, WTF? Title switch! This iz “Red Light”; dammit! You tricked me, and now, I almost had ta listen ta Delwin fa a sec.! Thank God, I was able to skip him in time! Tha previous review I did had a mixed-up tracklist; I didn’t think it would lead inta this, too… Anyway, this Q-Red-produced track’s soundin’ nice! Hearin’ Buck on tha 2^nd verse, and it sounds pretty nice; he doin’ tha damn thang, here!! Glad you’re here, finally! You’re comin’ through on tha 3^rd verse wit some hype shit! Don’t you just luv Q-Red beats, huh? He been M.I.A. for a while; haven’t even talked ta him in, like, three years… Lot has changed since then, for me! “Ruff-N-Rugged” in tha building; good shit!! My Rating: 4.5

10. “Dumb$hit”

>>> Glad it was just a title swap. This iz “Dumb$hit”, and it sounds nice and energetic wit tha beat and hook!! Damn, you so good wit showin’ off your energy!! Tha 1^st verse sounds nice, here; definitely feelin’ what you got goin’ on, here!! Damn, really gutta wit tha 2^nd verse, here; gotta luv ya!! Wow, this iz a crazy-ass joint!!! My Rating: 4.8

11. “Do It” Feat. Lil’ Trell
>>> Anotha really-hype song; “do it!! Do it!! Do it!!” Wow, you’re real crazy wit it!! Tha 1^st verse sounds great, here; dumbshit!! Tha 2^nd verse iz this Trell dude, and he sounds great, too! Sounds like a friend you grew up wit, since they have that hunger in their voice, like you do? Definitely feelin’ them; keep ya eyes open!! My Rating: 4.5

12. “LeBron James”
Capital “B”! >>> Real nice beat start, here!! Kinda sounds like I wanna play Ahh! Real Monsters, or somethin’, lol? Oh, it’s Young Hustla on tha beat; thumbs up fa hookin’ up wit him fa a track! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and I’m glad you stickin’ to tha topic, here, of “LeBron James!” You really own everythang!! Here’s tha 2^nd verse… You’re comin’ through wit some gutta shit, at its finest!! Mane, I got a lotta luv fa you, bruh!! I definitely think you’re on ya way ta bein’ “tha best up in tha game!” If it don’t happen in tha undaground or mainstream, I know that you gon hold a title in my book!! Nice outro, too; keep holdin’ tha “fort” down!!! My Rating: 4.4

13. “Murder Game”
>>> Nice beat, and you comin’ through wit an energetic style, once again, fa tha hood, here, on tha hook! Tha 1^st verse sounds good, too, really servin’ like “Serena!!” Tha 2^nd verse sounds great, too; you really holdin’ shit down to tha fullest!!! My Rating: 4.5

14. “4 Golds” Feat. Young Soulja
Lookin’ forward ta this Ruff-N-Rugged collaboration!! >>> Yea!! Feelin’ tha hook; Soulja “fulla dem pillz” wit you!! Damn, I gotta hook up wit him, too!! Gotta show him tha most luv!! Here he iz on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through like a real gangsta should!! Damn, Soulja really holdin’ this shit down!! Damn, you comin’ through on tha 2^nd verse in a strong way, too!! This iz what Baton Rouge ‘pose ta sound like!! Fuck all those wannabees tryna change up sounds like wack-ass other coasts!! And, not ta mention, gotta luv tha “golds” in tha “grill!!” Haven’t seen “golds” in a “grill” since, like, October 6, 2007—tha only day I saw ‘em! Sucks that I don’t get ta see much from tha south. :( My Rating: 4.8

15. “1 Life, 1 Luv”
>>> I’m feelin’ how this sounds; it has a bit of a calmer sound, but your hunger’s still here! Nice job wit tha hook, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and it sounds like you’re really here ta cater ta ya “people!” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, and this “shit” you’re providin’ iz tha “shit!” And yea, I “can sniff it, too,” and boi, do you stank bad, Hollowtip, ya heard me!?! Whoo!!! Mane, your “shit” iz soooo strong, you gon kill all your haterz!!! My Rating: 4.3

16. “Born Ruff N Rugged”

Looks like a bonus, as tha album says, Ruff-N-Rugged Compilation (Da Mixtape) Vol. 1. Anyway, not sure if I gon be anticipated fa this, due to a part of tha features… >>> Sounds like a familiar joint ta end this, wit a Tupac-soundin’ beat remake, too… Nice job wit tha hook!! Hearin’ you also on tha 1^st verse, and you sound pretty tight, here! Yea, “cool as a fan;” gon dedicate a lot of my time ta you, I know it (hopefully)!! Thumbs up fa still “sellin’ drugs” and shit; don’t give up on bein’ you! I hate dudes when they be changin’ and shit!! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, and it sounds good from you. LOL, where are all tha features? It says that Delwin The Krazyman, Ceddybu Da Rap Sumo, Buck & Young Soulja are on this, but it’s just you? Weird… My Rating: 4.2

Overall: Great CD, bruh!! You definitely did a nice job wit this one!!! Keep up tha great work!! Now that tha review’s over, it’s time ta do some business!! And, as hectic as my schedule iz, you know I stop doin’ what I’m doin’ ta help you out, ya feel me?!

½time: For not many songs, this iz a tight mixtape! Not sure why I threw Lil’ Buck’s song on here, especially since it’s about “money;” I guess it was tha “money” I received from his manager that made me do it, especially since there wasn’t much room on here to begin with. But, I’m makin’ sure I have a good ear for this shit, now! So far, we’re at a 4.6 for tha CD rating!

08. Lil’ Mista Feat. WNE “Mouth Off”

My Current Rating: 4.4

09. Cole Dean, G.Lynn, Greesy & K-Chill “My Bestie”

My Current Rating: 4.6

10. Lil’ Trill & Shell Feat. Mouse “Bob Barker”

My Current Rating: 4.4

11. Lil’ Cali “Itching”
ROFL!!! Love it!!! Too bad we moved our Florida house, but I’m glad this song was there with me! My Current Rating: 4.7

12. Lil’ Wan “Molly Syrus”

Forgot how this went, too… >>> Nice beat from EQ; funny lil’ anthem from Lil’ Wan, a random new artist. My Current Rating: 4.3

13. FrankieThaLuckyDog “2013 Tha Right Way Outro”

Yea, all you wack-ass thinkers: Get rid of tha geeky glasses, rappin’ about money, swag, haters, hoes, and usin’ a-tune! Be yourself!! My Rating: N/A

14. BR High “L.H.P.”

Nice way to end tha year off… My Current Rating: 4.4

Overall: Hope I get some serious dudes who wanna be on my next mixtape, so I have more songs… Then again, it’s quality over quantity, but I still want that $20 from y’all!

• Bubba
• Lil’ Buck

Most songs/artists that are nominated are either on my YouTube, or my mixtape compilations on DatPiff.


Other awards are givin' out that either have to do with my Top 10 countdown or my own personal feeling about a song. These awards appear under tha "Other Awards" section. No matter how many are won in this section, they are each displayed on one single award.


Tha last set of categories that are within tha "Other Awards" deal with how I deal wit people on tha phone and personally. Tha awards are: Most Frequent Person I Talked To By Phone Of 2012 (measured by how many conversations on tha phone I had wit someone in tha year) and Best Person I Talked To By Phone Of 2012 (measured by how long each conversation I had wit someone added up to). All these phone awards are wit music-business people only. Tha final award in this section iz tha Best New Person Of 2012 award. It's a one-time award for anyone I met in 2012 (music business and non-music business) and iz very special. For example, this year, I've met tons of people within tha year. All tha people I met won't get this award except one special person so tha one special person defeats tha chances of all tha others, which iz very special!


Extra awards given out will be *CERTIFIED CLASSIC* awards for any song I played at least 100x, playlist awards for any song I played at least 16 weeks on my playlist, and any awards for if an artist broke a record wit me (e.g., longest phone call).
