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

Reviewed on 7.05.2016 (Review #1,507)

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

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

This almost like a reintroduction ta yourself, fa those that ain’t know who you are!! Definitely feelin’ this so much, especially with tha beat goin’ in and out like dat, on tha 1^st verse!! Just one whole verse? I see… When tha “phone” rung and you answered it, it was still ringin’. I was just thinkin’ to myself, “How’d it do dat?

04. “Go Dumb” feat. Max Minelli & Level

OMG, look at tha collab!! And, while high?! Can’t even imagine wit Max and, especially Level on it!!! I think that February 16 was also tha 1^st time I heard Level, too, on an ’06 track!! Classicness!! Now, ta hear this!! >>> Yeah, definitely dat classic, Baton Rouge-soundin’ vibe, here!! Oh, just luv everything about it!! You really holdin’ down tha hook to tha fullest!! Oh, I knew this was gon give me such an excellent vibe!! Oh, sounds like we in tha ’06 – ’08 dayz, which iz very nostalgic ta me!! I’ll neva stop supportin’ y’all!! You soundin’ good on tha hook, holdin’ it down fa tha clubz!! Max doin’ tha damn thang on tha 1^st verse; definitely feelin’ his energy and classic club vibez!! Because of all tha bullshit at my job and how I need this Louisiana music in my life, I feel like all tha ratings gon be pretty high!! We got you on tha 2^nd verse, Scoob, strictly comin’ through wit it!! “Shmokin’ dat good-good;” fuck yeah!! I messaged you my scooby snacks that I shmoked, lol; you already know!! And, of course, dat boy, Level, on tha 3^rd verse!! Definitely soundin’ like a dawg and as classic as always!! You got this shit on lock, Scoob!! Definitely feelin’ it, as always!! My Rating: 5.0

05. “Talkin’ Money” feat. Koon

Wow, I’m only on #05 and I’m 30 minutes inta this! *Burps* That’s ‘cause I had a whoopie-tastic whoopie pie!! Mmmm…!!! Made by Cook!! And, I just summoned, “Krishhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!,” fa my girl, Krishna! Now, time fa this! I think I gon feel it; can’t wait ta hear it!! >>> Really feelin’ this dark, somewhat-“Dem Boyz”-influenced beat!! Really diggin’ tha 26-second beat intro and tha beat’s really pulsating!!!!! Wow, definitely one of tha best-soundin’ “money” songs!! Y’all do tha damn thang on tha hook!! Whooooooot!! Definitely diggin’ you on tha 1^st verse, Scoob!! You got this shit goin’ on ta tha max!!

Definitely feelin’ how you comin’, here! Definitely “focused!!” My Rating: 4.8

06. “Which Way”

Ooh, likin’ this title fa a solo track of yours!! Can’t wait ta hear, lol! >>> Ain’t catch that beat tag in tha beginning; let’s see if they can hold up like tha previous tracks! So far, off to a slow start; let’s see what this develops into… Almost sounds like tha kinda tracks Savage would deliver/sing; great hook!! Reminds me a lil’ of Savage, as well as Nate Dogg, with tha “go-oh!” Nice-soundin’ beat and you doin’ a nice job with comin’ from tha “streetz” on tha 1^st verse… Nice job deliverin’ your perspective on thangz! Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ excellent, too! Definitely diggin’ how you talk about tha “9 – 5” and shit like dat… It’s really like, DJ B-Real’s tha reason why I got my job and now, I’m $50,000 richer in 27 ½ months! All ‘cause he blocked me and lost contact wit me, “which” broke my heart!! I still think we gon reconnect one day! Hell, he’s even on my playlist as we speak!! Like, who supports someone who hates you? I do!! So yeah, nice job, Scoob!! My Rating: 4.6

07. “Push Dat Work”

Can’t wait ta hear dis one, too!! This whole CD tha truth!! Such perfect timing ta come out, right when we needed some new Baton Rouge music!! >>> I believe it’s tha same producer as tha previous track… And, with your pickin’ of this producer, I believe in it and it sounds excellent!! Oh, just definitely diggin’ tha hook!!! Anotha hot-soundin’ track about money!! We got tha 1^st verse goin’ on, here, and it sounds pure!! So glad you’ve neva stopped grindin’, Scoob!! Neva thought I’d be this excited durin’ a review again!! Yeah!! “Got loratabs & barz, fa sale, too;” dumb shit!! Gotta luv edibles, too! Ooh @ tha 2^nd verse!! “Got a coupla pounds of kush and purple, like tha Lakers!” Dat’s definitely what’s up!! Can’t believe how special weed has made me feel! Tha total transition ta tha Calhoune I am today, thanx ta Percy Keith fa tha name! Excellent job on tha 2^nd verse, as always!! My Rating: 4.8

08. “I Go Hard” feat. Lil’ Mike & Koon

Oh, can’t wait ta hear dis!! I’m sayin’ tha same thing in all my previous ‘cause I’m that excited!!! >>> Keepin’ dat producer comin’ along, and it sounds like it gon be a crazy hook!! Oh, definitely a “hard”-hittin’ beat; all about gettin’ fucked up!!! “I be sippin’ lean, and I be poppin’ barz… And, I be smokin’ purp… Yeah, nigga, I go hard!” Fuckin’ right!!! Scoob, you’re on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit da traffickin’; luv it in tha music! And yeah, Scoob, you’re “in tha movies;” I done seen ya! You really gotta ask one person: Me! I know tha answer!! I know everyone’s birthdayz!! I luv my talent!! Excellent-soundin’ hook!! OMG, your birthday was tha last time I had two dayz a week off!! December 26; last Saturday I had off!!! Crazy grind!! And, we got Lil’ Mike on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some great shit ta hear! “I’m just caught up in tha moment;” dat haze tha truth!! And, cold ending, here; that’s a rap!! My Rating: 5.0

½time: Wow, SO FUCKIN’ INCREDIBLE!!! Easily, this tha BEST review I’ve eva done, statistically!!! I think I needed this kinda shit fa tha longest time, afta so much stress, and it’s like Heaven ta me!! This tha **HIGHEST** my average CD rating’s been on tha ½time, eva!! A 4.86, rounded to a 4.9!!!!! I know Young Ready used to have tha record a while back, back in ’09, with his That’s How I’m Coming mixtape! Crazy shit!!! Definitely tha most critically-acclaimed review since DJ B-Real’s Pay Da Producer Vol. 1 in 2013!! See! Y’all always keep this shit up, no matter what year it iz!! So glad my mind’s comin’ back ta fully focusin’ on Baton Rouge & all dat! Y’all neva left me; I just was on tha grind, a lil’ differently! I also hope I’m finally makin’ my debut in tha Boot sometime early next year!! It might finally happen; I’m so excited!! I gon finally meet all my heroes, like you, Scoob!! Imagine a DJ B-Real & Frankie pic?! That would be PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!

09. “Broke Niggaz” feat. General Mark

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

10. “Party Like”

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

11. “#IJTDD” feat. General Mark

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

12. “2 Go Head”

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

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

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

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

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

15. “Victim Of The Game”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Review #1,473: Beat Flippa "Street Certified III"

Reviewed on 6.30.2015 (Review #1,473)

Got a brand-new review I finna do, right now, courtesy of Ross Music Group: Beat Flippa Street Certified III. So excited that a new Street Certified’s released, but I’m having a really shitty day and am wanting to just get this over with, fast. Between work and Q-Red randomly attacking my values and still thinkin’ I’m 21, 22 years-old on IG, I’m honestly havin’ bad anxiety attacks! There’s nobody to smoke with up here and my nerves are bad! So, I’m gonna just review this without any intermissions and get back to tha Racked-Up Ready tribute video I’m doin’… Start Time: 9:16 PM | End Time: 10:49 PM

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

01. Chill, Mz. TeQui, Chameleon & Trump “Certified”

Interesting lineup with you on tha beat… Iz dat Da Chameleon, since you produced for him? I shall find out, if I remember what he sounds like… >>> Sounds like you in tha intro, Flip; nice! I actually calmed down for tha moment and got high! So, this a high review, right now! With that bein’ said, tha intro sounds pretty nice; luv this sound!! Now, we got Chill on tha 1^st verse and it sounds pretty nice; definitely feelin’ tha southern vibe!! TeQui snappin’ on tha 2^nd verse, consistently; definitely nice!! Flippa, you still inspire me to make those really-southern beats! That organ, tho? Yeah! Crazy! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s pretty nice; luv how this blends together! Definitely enjoyin’ this; definitely a classic!! My Rating: 4.8

02. Bro-Bro, Beezy B. Harris, Alvin Ray & Lil’ Goom “Dat Dumb Shit”

Both Big Josh & Tyree Neal on tha beat, here; interesting, loyal, Beat Flippa-type lineup… EDIT: Wow, just looked closely and realized that Beezy B’s now goin’ by his full name, Beezy B. Harris; almost thought it was two different people! >>> Nice beat, once again; sounds like Mouse! Tha hook’s pretty nice; good shit! And, Bro goin’ off on tha 1^st verse; definitely consistent! Ooh, definitely likin’ this hook a whole lot!! Great shit!! Very addictive!! Keepin’ this goin’ with Beezy B on tha 2^nd verse? Sounds pretty nice; that Baton Rouge sound of southern, eerie vibes that I luv!! That 2^nd ½ of tha hook, tho!! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse now and it sounds like intelligent lyrics and rappin’, lol! Really diggin’ his verse, right chea!! My Rating: 4.7

03. Big Rich, Beezy B. Harris & Classik “The Streets Made Me”

We got you & I-49 on tha beat, here, as well as guitars by Tyree Neal. Let’s see what gon come outta this collab… >>> Sounds like a nice and calm beat intro, like an ending to somethin’! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from Big Rich and it sounds like a boss’ lifestyle, to me… I mean, some of it sounds like comin’ up from tha struggle, but it’s all about growin’; nice! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it really sounds like Lil’ Phat? Definitely can hear tha 225 in their voice; real nice!! Even though I’ve been upset about so many things in tha music biz, there’s always somethin’ that makes me smile. And, that voice and verse was like a chocaholic’s chocolate; very addictive!! I really loved tha 2^nd verse a whole lot!!!!! Keepin’ it goin’ with Classik on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through with his metal-gorillaized rhymes! Nice job, Classik; excellent collab!! My Rating: 4.6

04. Veronica Ra’elle, J-Trax, DCO & Bro-Bro “No Choice”

Interesting lineup and a Veronica, though I’ono if I gon feel this? We have I-49, Beat Flippa, J-Trax & Veronica Ra’elle all on tha production, here… >>> A nice, slower-soundin’ song; definitely diggin’ this Veronica chick!! Tha hook’s pretty addictive with this, “No choice, no choice, no choice; no choice, no choice, no choice,” repeatin’, lol! Excellent! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse right chea and it sounds pretty nice; eerie, gangsta vibes in tha beat!!! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it sounds nice ta hear; good shit! Did I miss Bro-Bro or somethin’? Oh, I think he randomly appears in tha hook… My Rating: 4.5

05. Beezy B. Harris & Pokey “Feel So Good”

Even more Beezy B, here, with you on tha track… >>> Nice intro, here… Ooh, hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds pretty nice; definitely enjoyin’ this soul sound, here! Tha beat sounds like it samples somethin’ from, like, tha ‘60s or ‘70s. I usually don’t fuck wit shit like that too much but because I’m high, damn, I’m diggin’ this! Did tha quality of tha track just decrease once tha hook came in? Nice hook with tha sample, but I feel like tha quality of tha audio went down… It now restored itself on tha 2^nd verse… Hearin’ it and it sounds pretty catchy with this voice! Definitely diggin’ this voice to tha max! It’s so southern, like a nice 30-year-old!! Tha rest of this soul shit can sometimes sound draggin’, but it’s definitely soundin’ nice, right now! He talkin’ ‘bout “smokin’?!” Damn, fuck yeah!! “Smoke ya, baby!!” Think of this “baby” I went to visit surrounded by 12 fuckin’ dogs!!! They have 12 dogs at this spot I gotta fulla dat shit at!!! OMG, I need an intermission ‘cause “Flicka Da Wrist”’s on; I’m so fuckin’ happy, right now!!! My Rating: 4.2

06. BluBlack, Beat Flippa & Delwin The Krazyman “I’m Thuggin’”

Ooh, interesting to feature BluBlack on here and not even him on tha production! You’re doin’ tha beat, Flippa, but I’ono about havin’ someone that called me 16 names on Twitter on here (Delwin)… >>> Ooh, Nu$$ie on tha intro; can’t wait ta hear this! Luv how this sounds for tha start; what a surprise!! When seein’ this on here, I would easily think this would be tha #1, 2 or #3 song, instantly. However, there was such competition before it! Who knew? Luvin’ Blu on tha 1^st verse and his style; definitely nice ta hear!! Luv his rapersonality [pronounced “rap-personality!”], lol! Hearin’ tha hook and wow, Beat Flippa, what an addictive hook; luv how it repeats!! Whoa @ tha 2^nd verse, too; what a crazy verse from Beat Flippa!!! Could be a perfect-rated song? We shall see!! Even when you slowed down tha flow speed on tha 2^nd verse, it still sounds pretty nice! Wow, I really luv how you have such aggression and pressure-inflicting venom in your rhymes!! That almost sounded like a threat toward tha end of tha 2^nd verse!! Double surprise, so far!! And, we got Delwin on tha 3^rd verse and even this, it sounds pure!! Really feelin’ it!! Just luv his ’08-soundin’ vibes; definitely a great job!! Just goes so great with this beat!!! Luv reviewin’ while I’m high!! My Rating: 5.0

07. Jimi Jump & Young Bleed “Money Got My Love”

Don’t like tha title, but I like tha lineup a lot… Produced by Brent Dixon & you, with tha guitar by Tyree Neal (and, you have a parenthesis for tha guitar this time, lol)… >>> Hearin’ tha beat from you and it’s soundin’ pretty nice, here… Jimi on tha 1^st verse and it’s nice, too; what an excellent, laidback vibe!! “Coconut;” oh, you hittin’ me wit tha flavors, Jimi!! I’m all flavored out, for now, even though I gotta go back in six hours!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!! Ooh @ tha hook; Bleed got such a southern, addictive voice, right chea!! Ahhhhh, it feels like you’re goin’ into a Jacuzzi!!! He’s on tha 2^nd verse and it sounds like it’s made in 2008 with pure quality; an ageless voice!!!!! Tha voice makin’ me laugh!!! Excellent job with tha verse and, do I have to mention, excellent job with tha collaboration on tha hook!! Nice cold, excellent beat ending! My Rating: 4.5

08. Big Scoob, Lil’ Josh, Sam I Am & Kid Bob “Swaggalate”

Just like tha last song: I don’t fuck wit tha title, but tha lineup’s got me hyped up… Will this recover my bad day? Hope so! Beat Flippa & I-49 on tha track! >>> Very anticipated for this, based off tha hook!! I’m really luvin’ it; just a classic sound!!! Really gotta luv Scoob and show him tha most respect fa err-body fa Louisiana—oh yeah, I gotta send you tha article from Mass Appeal Records I’m featured in; I’m doin’ big thangz, bruh!! With that bein’ said, Scoob on tha 1^st verse and it sounds real great ta hear!! Luv your rhymes and how I can make you happy with my Baton Rougetastic vibes, lol!! Keepin’ it goin’ with Josh on tha 2^nd verse, still soundin’ like it’s a “Jigga Juice” day of 2008, lol! Really feelin’ this shit to tha max; consistent voice, rappin’ & southern, “swaggalatin’” content!! Ooh @ tha beat at 1:50; wow, sounds like a thumpin’ pulse!!! Ooh, a twist to tha beat for a few seconds around 2:23!! Hearin’ Sam on tha 3^rd verse and he’s as aggressive as eva!! Will he “choke a cup,” though? Gotta, Sam I Am!! Fulla dem cigarettes and cravings, right?! Just luv tha consistent, aggressive voice of his!!! Hearin’ tha 4^th verse from Kid Bob and he sounds like a New Orleans-type dude; excellent!! Definitely nice, includin’ tha fast fade out toward tha end!! Oh, man, I know Big Scoob was waitin’ for me to be high while reviewin’ his music!!! I’m so glad I’ve reached that point to get fulla dat shit fa  y’all!! I love y’all!! Y’all made me; I made y’all!! My Rating: 5.0

09. Bro-Bro, Beat Flippa, Beezy B. Harris “That’s What I B Doin’”

Keepin’ tha Beezy B. Harris collaborations comin’ ova a Big Josh beat…! >>> Excellent beat start ta get you anticipated! Hearin’ tha hook and Bro-Bro really goin’ off on this hook!! Sounds like tha kinda anthemic music fa Nu$$ie ta wrap on; anticipatin’!! Hearin’ Bro-Bro on tha 1^st verse and thumbs up fa him ta “be drugged up!!” You already know we got shit on lock!! We gon be alive fa’eva and neva lose hype!!! And, if we were to die, all I know iz that we left such a legacy behind!! Look how much we’ve provided to tha world?!? Ya know?!?! Keepin’ it goin’ with Flippa on tha 2^nd verse and, uh oh, he’s comin’ through like he’s ‘bout ta squish someone!!! It seems scary!!! He his own army!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit dat boy, Beezy B on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit his 2002 Cash Money-like sound to tha plate, here; luv it!! G-Shit at its finest!!! My Rating: 4.9

½time: I can’t believe what a great mood I’m in fa these tracks!!! That’s what dat good’ll do for ya!! So far, we’re at a 4.7 for tha CD rating; unbelievable!!! That’s Young Ready-like achievements!!!

10. Beezy B. Harris, Lil’ Dixie, Teezy & Danny Boy “Turn Up”

Interesting lineup, hopefully, with you on tha beat… Back cover says just, “T,” while tha CD info says, “Teezy;” hmm… Maybe, no room on tha back cover? I’ll put “Teezy.” >>> Wow @ tha beat start and that Beat Flippa tag; one of tha only tags I like!!! It’s still pure; I believe in it!!! Hearin’ dat nigga, Beezy B on tha 2^nd verse & he comin’ through wit some good, pure rhymes; definitely feelin’ it!! Ooh @ tha hook; it sounds like Heaven!!! Tha hymn-soundin’ choir in tha background of tha organ of tha beat sounds excellent!!! And, just how they wildin’ on tha hook!!! Just luv gettin’ fucked up, right?! Keepin’ it goin’ wit dat dude, Dixie, on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit dat quality! Sounds a lil’ bit like a Baton Rouge Mannie Fresh vs. Mon Mack!!! Hearin’ this 3^rd verse, right chea and it’s dat “retarded” Baton Rouge music at its finest, meanin’ dat I luv it!! Tha shit that influences my energetic self!! Beat Flippa’s son repeatin’, “Turn up wit me,” at tha end?!? Wow, so addictive!!! Sounds like I’m trippin’ tha fuck off wit him repeatin’ this shit!! Wow, I’m nice and high, to tha max!!! My Rating: 4.9

11. Beat Flippa, Gangsta & Kiing Pin “Dopeboy Swagg”

You on tha beat; I have a feelin’ I gon like this fa some reason? >>> Wow, I’m throwin’ up my elbows ta this already!!! Excellent hook from you, right there!!! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and for your age, you’re excellent!!! “We tha best,” huh? Can’t wait for, “You know what, Frank? You da best! I wanna adopt you,” from someone two decades on me that’s an excellent person!! I fuckin’ can’t believe someone would want to adopt me; awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! But yeah, excellent job on tha 1^st verse, as always, Flippa!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and I almost thought Gangsta was sayin’, “Nu$$ie!!;” nearly sounded like it! However, I think he nice and “messy?” Hearin’ him on tha 2^nd verse and he’s got tha streetz on lock wit this content! Keepin’ this goin’ with tha Kiing Pin on tha 3^rd verse, comiin’ through niicely, lol!! Glad he on “dem jiggaz;” keep tha good times alive!!! Wow, I’m diggin’ how, “Swag, swag, swag, swag…,” repeats toward tha end; shocked?! My Rating: 4.7

12. Beelow, Nu$$ie & Delwin The Krazyman “Shit Was Real”

I need a lil’ revival from tha dead, right now; interesting lineup minus tha 16x-Twitter hater, with you on tha beat! >>> Ooh, tha horns in tha beat!! Wow, this iz pure quality at its finest!! Definitely feelin’ tha street aggression on tha 1^st verse; best music eva from tha undaground!! Hearin’ tha 2^nd ½ of tha 1^st verse and I almost thought it was someone else? Maybe, I didn’t recognize somethin’, lol? Diggin’ this, “I may not be Kevin Gates, but I don’t get tired;” luv how they said that!! And, bringin’ Nu$$ie back from tha dead, here. Sounds like one of his older verses that we’ve heard before… Nothin’ really fresh, but it’s nice ta appear as a bonus, here! Nu$$ie’s death got even darker, recently, as I lost my brother on May 10, of this year. Both my brother and Nu$$ie died on tha 10^th (well, 10^th on tha East Coast; 9^th in Louisiana)! That 10^th iz a dark date!!! Oh wow, I ain’t realize fa a second that it’s Kevin Gates bein’ sampled on tha hook!! Delwin on tha 3^rd verse, here, and he sounds nice ta hear; can’t complain! I feel like I’ve warped ta 2008, here, and that fuckin’ Kevin Gates’ll really get me soooooooooooooooooooooo hyped up!!! He one of tha main reasons why Mass Appeal Records interviewed me! They saw me bloggin’ about him back in ’08 and you even had him on your first Street Certified CD, back in ’08!! Excellent!! My Rating: 4.8

13. Kiing Pin, Bruce Dillon, Dylan Cage, Gangsta & Veronica Ra’elle “I’m In My Own Zone”

No space with tha comma between Dylan Cage & Gangsta’s name, lol? Had to point that out… Anyway, should be interesting with Big Josh on tha beat. >>> Gangsta and his, “Messy,” or somethin’ again, lol; nice beat sound ta start this off… Nice lil’ “kush” hook, here; nice and laidback! Can’t complain about this since “dis dat fiya!” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ nice; pure sounds ta get you “in [tha] zone!!” Keepin’ this goin’ with tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice; feelin’ tha southern vibe!! And, like he says, “New Orleans, nigga, hear it…;” confirmed! He 504-reppin’!! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice; good shit, overall! My Rating: 4.6

14. Level, C-Loc, Max Minelli, Gangsta, Pokey & B-Real “Ol’ School With Dat Pressure”

*Acts weird* Oh no, iz my anxiety comin’ back?! Do I need to take my manager’s advice and “crush a cup” to vent? OMG, there’s B-Real on tha CD!! I’ono how I do it! If my brother can die unhappy, then will that be me? Don’t get me wrong, I luv my life, but on a day like this, I feel unworthy of bein’ a human being. :( I went to sleep last night at B-Real birthday time of 11:15 PM to get up for work at 3:04 AM, but I said to myself, “B-Real birthday time, but tha day won’t go bad ‘cause my brother’s no longer around.” Lil’ do I know that everytime I go to sleep at B-Real birthday time, tha following day sucks, somehow! Whateva; I’m tryin’ not to be suppositious. But yeah, Beat Flippa & B-Real on tha track; whoo hoo!! An extra space between Max Minelli & Gangsta’s name on tha back cover? Also, wanna point out that tha one girl that’s always askin’ for breaks (on my screen now) got sent home early today and didn’t get to ask for breaks! I feel robbed… :( >>> Ouch, they hittin’ me with tha PUREST LOUISIANA SOUND IN THA BEAT!!! That organ!!! Wow, outstanding!!! Excellent hook with that sample, too!! And, here comes Level on tha 1^st verse with his hyped-up vibes; definitely an excellent vibe!! “I ran into a flippa … I threw dat hoe ta Flippa;” nice, Level!! I’m diggin’ your excellent lifestyle, here!! Hearin’ Loc on tha 2^nd verse and he reppin’ tha south nice; gotta dig it!! And, Max on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through nicely! Gotta feel his southern vibes! Keepin’ it goin’ wit Gangsta on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit his southern lifestyle at his finest, too! Can’t deny it!! What?! No B-Real? Did I miss him or iz he hidden somewhere? LOL, tha ghost of B-Real!! I get high and he was a mirage!! My Rating: 4.7

15. Big Scoob, Trump, Tyree Neal, B-Real & Beat Flippa “I’m A Mack”

Wow…, I’m speechless… Anyway, let’s see how high I rate this one, like an ass-to-tha-hole? I’ono, but Beat Flippa & my favorite person (B-Real) on tha track! I hope it’s not a mirage this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >>> Sounds pretty hot and laidback with these sounds you can make luv to!! A lil’ bit of “I mean dat” in tha intro!! Wow, iz that B-Real & Beat Flippa on tha hook? Wow, luvin’ tha voice like tha south neva ends!!! And, here we go with Scoob on tha 1^st verse, “Blowin’ loud;” you already know!!! “Killa, a gorilla;” gotta be gigantic, Scoob!!! I do say that Kevin Gates’ one of tha greatest things created, but honestly, B-Real’s tha best of all time!! Tha greatest of all time in tha rap game!! Tupac & Biggie can ethically be tha best, but in my opinion, for my own knowledge, B-Real’s my favorite eva!! I’ve neva wanted to support anyone more than him!!! He my idol; I celebrate life and have a job ‘cause of him!! With tha 2^nd verse from Trump, it’s soundin’ pretty nice and consistent; gotta feel it! Oh, B-Real, just hear it in your voice (e.g., “Cadillacs…;”), that’s tha south at its finest!! Y’all were blessed with tha voice of tha south!! Who knew? November 15, 1984, tha pure south was born!!! Hope I get to get you to them labels I be messin’ with, now!! Hearin’ Tyree on tha 3^rd verse, now, and his singin’ flows real nicely, here! Not bad, overall, fa tha verse; excellent track, though!! My Rating: 4.8

16. Trump, Gangsta, Mz. TeQui & Ms. Portia “IDFWBN”

Got tha Misses, here, lol, with you on tha beat. Let’s see how “I Don’t Fuck With Bitch-Niggaz” comes into play, here… >>> Oh wait, not, “Bitch,” but, “Broke;” I see… Hearin’ tha hook and its repetitive vibe sounds tight; diggin’ it! Tha beat’s nice and slow ta get err-body through a nice, zoned-out vibe!! Nice job with tha 1^st verse; I’m diggin’ it, no matter what’s goin’ on, here! Consistent toward tha end, too! Keepin’ it goin’ wit Gangsta on tha 2^nd verse, “Thuggin’ in these streetz since ‘9-8!” That’s what’s up! I don’t have no longtime friends except in tha music biz! Almost started with ’08 fa me… Here comes tha females on tha 3^rd verse, kickin’ it off wit TeQui… I’m diggin’ what she spittin’; can’t deny it! I like her rapid-soundin’ rappin’; I fuck wit it… Keepin’ it up wit Portia; she sounds like JJ Fad or somethin’! Nice! Also, Diamond or Katie Got Bandz! My Rating: 4.5

17. Sir Token, Bruce Dillon & Kiing Pin “I Hustle All Day”

Anotha track produced by you and anotha newbie in tha lineup! Will they be worth as much as a token? >>> Beat sounds pretty nice, here; really feelin’ tha build-up! Hearin’ tha hook and wow, I’m definitely diggin’ this!! Nice lil’ spinoff of T-Lo “All Day”!! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and, fuckin’ wow, tha way this beat builds up, at times, I’m so attracted to it!! Nice job wit tha rappin’, too!! Just luv that aggression in tha repetitive hook!!! Almost has a lil’ bit of Beat Flippa in tha voice, too!! This iz where my style comes from, so when people see me and appreciate me, I got dat 225 in me!! With that bein’ said, Bruce Dillon on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through with consistent, street shit, to tha max!!! What consistency with this drug-related content; he’s like a drug, himself!!! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse from Kiing Pin and it’s pretty nice; he got dat tough-soundin’ southern vibe in his voice! Gotta luv it!! So glad y’all’s style have really influenced my life!!! My Rating: 4.9

18. Nip, Raw Dogg, Greedy, Gangsta & Big Grizzly “Believe Dat (Studio Cypher)”

Endin’ anotha CD off with anotha “Cypher” or freestyle-like track, with you, Cee Rock & Nunu on tha track… >>> Well, this sounds much betta and catchier, despite a “money” approach in tha beginning of tha hook. I have ta say, I’m diggin’ it; likin’ tha title part! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ like a nice lil’ Baton Rouge prison at its finest! What I mean by that iz that you’re locked inta this shit, right now!!! Nice job with tha 2^nd part from Raw Dogg, too; good shit! Really consistent with deliverin’ tha rhymes at all times!!! Hearin’ Greedy on tha 3^rd part and it’s pretty nice, too; “mind of a maniac, smarter than a brainiac!” Yup!! I feel like I have two brainz ‘cause of my Asperger’s syndrome!! Keepin’ it goin’ with Gangsta on tha 4^th part of tha verse, doin’ his thang, always providin’ it for tha streetz!! And, tha final verse of tha CD belongs ta Big Grizzly! He sounds like he providin’ some mo knowledge to tha streetz; that’s what’s up! Props fa always “stayin’” active!! My Rating: 4.4

Overall: OMG, for havin’ such a shitty day, I knew tha day was gonna turn out to be so much betta!! Wow, this review was my favorite thing of tha day!! Even betta than gettin’ high, but tha high provided tha boost fa this CD!!! Tha production was definitely A++ at its finest!! Tha different people on here were definitely an excellent selection of err-body; err-body brought their A-game!! And, Flippa, you really went off on this bitch, to tha max!! Like, you made it seem like people would be afraid of you to where they gotta obsessively listen to you, ya dig!? I definitely vote this for Louisiana Compilation Of Tha Year, if I was still doin’ my awards, ya feel me?! Keep up tha excellent work; you neva age!! Neva feel old ‘cause you always have tha quality in ya!!!

LOL @ DJ B-Real!! B-Real only ranked #6 & #9 on my ratings?!? And, I was fulla dat shit, too?!? He topped tha otha ones but had a much harder competition, this time!! But, he definitely did tha damn thang!! Wow, a nine-page review; haven’t seen that in a while?!? What a excellent way to end tha 1^st ½ of 2015 off, after some life-changing moments!! P.I.R.’s Who I Are mixtape might’ve been tha 1^st Louisiana CD review I did while high, but this was tha 1^st one where I sat down and regularly reviewed! P.I.R.’s was a live review! But yeah, everyone, keep grindin’!!

Review #1,227: Ben Lewis "Broke Or Balling"

Reviewed on 11.04.2012 (Review #1,227)

Got this Ben Lewis Broke Or Balling review I finna do; how will it turn out? Wow, I did 9 reviewz (counting this one) today, when I’m super-busy; when was tha last time that happened? Start Time: 11:04 PM | End Time: 11:22 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!

Link To CD: http://www.225live.com/artist_pages/ben_lewis/ben_lewis_bob.html

01. “Intro”
>>> Sounds like it goes wit tha ZaBaX artist I reviewed, just recently. Ehh, not likin’ that this beat sounds like a jacked version of Jay-Z’s “Song Cry”, smh… Despite that yuckyness, these rhymes are okay, but tha content ain’t much for me about losin’ someone… My Rating: 2.9

02. “Some Change” Feat. Yung Biz
>>> Sounds a lil’ swaggish wit tha “look at me” shit in tha hook… Ehh, it’s only okay; not really for me wit this typical rap flow of today… Well, Yung Biz sounds good on tha mic; see, some attitude on tha mic! That’s what I like! My Rating: 3.3

03. “I’m Da Shit” Feat. Lil’ Cali

‘Bout time there’s an anticipatin’ feature outta tha CDs I recently reviewed!! Really lookin’ forward to this one!!! >>> Well, beat’s a lil’ ehh and tha length’s kinda long. However, I’m likin’ when tha title repeats; “I’m tha shiiiiiit (you ain’t know?)!” Rhymes are okay, but this joint’s on tha catchy tip for me. Let’s see how my big dawg, Lil’ Cali does on tha 2^nd verse… Likin’ his lil’ shinny rhymes, lol. Glad he wished my “FrankieThaLuckyDog” name a happy 10^th birthday on his Twitter! Good job wit tha feature, Cali; tha 3^rd verse iz a lil’ ehh from you, though… My Rating: 4.2

04. “Dumb” Feat. C-Loc
>>> Why iz there C-Loc on tha hook? I guess I’ll put him in tha feature… Rhymes are a lil’ blah, blah, blah, here; not too much for me, but it’s not that bad… My Rating: 3.3

05. “Get Real” Feat. H.K.

>>> Doesn’t sound that special; sounds like anotha song about someone bein’ less than you. I think I heard 1,000,000 of those kinda songs by now. Tha feature ain’t that bad, but there’s not much I can say about his verse, either… My Rating: 2.8

06. “My Life”
>>> Boring song about tha “paper;” what else iz new? My Rating: 2.5

07. “Blinded”
>>> Not really ‘pose to be into tha hook, although it sounded a lil’ catchy. Then again, I don’t think I should say dat ‘cause it’s prolly an inserted hook… There’s not much ta comment about tha rhymes, here; sounds like everyone else in tha mainstream, a lil’… My Rating: 3.0

08. “100” Feat. Young Bleed, B-Raw & Draper

>>> A lil’ long, but good to hear a feature like Bleed on tha 1^st verse; nice “dirty-dirt” vibe, lol! Even some “pretty titties,” too! Not bad wit tha rest of this; beats some of tha other semi-boring songs on here… My Rating: 3.7

½time: Kinda not tha best, for me; only a 3.2-rated CD, currently.

09. “The Cost”
>>> Yuck, since it sounds like an inserted hook… Rhymes ain’t too bad, but this iz mainly boring for me. My Rating: 2.7

10. “Love U”
>>> A lil’ catchy wit tha hook, but sounds sampled or inserted… Okay rhymes, but nothin’ for me to really comment on. My Rating: 3.1

11. “Pop It Off” Feat. Lil’ Josh, Bruce & Lady B
>>> Wow, original production from EQ? Random, includin’ a Cassidy sample on tha hook? Also, havin’ Lil’ Josh as one of tha features? Funny how this CD just randomly has some good features… I like tha “drop it low” shit in tha hook; nice job, Josh, includin’ tha shit on tha 1^st verse. Also, good for bringin’ Lady B on this! Was she before tha Bruce person? I don’t get it; I’m a lil’ confused, but nice job, err-body. My Rating: 3.7

12. “Making Moves”
>>> Really weak start fa me; can’t deal wit a gay-soundin’ hook like dat wit tha soft-ass voice! Also, wtf, it’s over five minutes long?! Verses ain’t too bad, but I can’t be bothered wit somethin’ long like this… My Rating: 1.4

13. “Gather Round”
>>> Sounds like suspense wit tha beat and how you’re rappin’, here; good shit. I was gonna bash on tha sample used, but it sounds like swing music, so I’ll give it a prop. Also, this iz soundin’ like a paranoid conversation or somethin’; interestin’… My Rating: 4.0

14. “Miss Me”
>>> I like this beat you chose; catchy sounds! Still, why iz this so long? *Yawn*, fuckin’ today’s generation of clutter!! Rhymes are aight, but tha boringness comes out so fast… My Rating: 3.5

15. “Let Me Rip” Feat. Suge & Two 3

>>> Tha hook sounds good fa y’all ta be a part of… Even though this iz really long, at least there’s some sorta jam-type vibe goin’ on… Tha verses were okay; nothin’ much fa me ta say about this one… My Rating: 3.4

16. “Dubble Up” Feat. Bruce & JD
>>> Weird hook that sounds good, but why iz there a “Beat Flippa on tha track; retarded, belie’ dat” part in tha hook? Beat Flippa produced this? Either way, it’s a hot beat, and tha verses aren’t that bad… My Rating: 3.8

17. “Ack Bad”
>>> Not too bad for an ending song; good beat for you to rap on, knockin’ “‘em off,” here… I like those “u see me” parts, too. My Rating: 3.8

Overall: Ehh, not tha best, but there were some things that caught my attention.
