FrankieThaLuckyDog here again! 'Bout ta do a review from Wild Yella and
his "Hoodstar" mixtape. I wonder what to expect... Based off
tha "I'm Feeling Myself" song, I hope to expect good and not wack!
Here goes my review fa Wild Yella "Hoodstar Mixtape"! Start
Time: 3:53 PM | End Time: 5:34 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!

reviewed on 6.24.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. "Krazy"
How we gon start this off, Yella? >>> Okay beat start, and not bad
rappin' you're doin' on tha verse here. What's wit tha Auto-Tune background
vocals of whoeva's in tha background? Good job on your verse. I can say that
tha hook iz okay/not bad, but hopefully, there are no more Auto-Tune type
vocals like that on tha rest of this mixtape! My Rating: 3.6
02. "Drove"
Anotha one worded title... Let's see what's here... >>> No, WTF?
What's that dude wit tha "gimme a lil' T-Pain on my voice too?" I
thought I said there was gonna be no more?! Not likin' tha same background
vocals wit tha Auto-Tune again!! Good lyrics and rappin' on your 1st verse
here. No comment on tha hook, but your rappin' iz pretty nice on tha 2nd verse
too. LOL @ tha title; lol... That T-Pain voice has ta go 'cause it's just
useless ta me. My Rating: 3.7
03. "Fell Off" Feat. Lil' Polkk
Good, a featured artist on this one. It bein' 5:18 betta not annoy me wit
anything! >>> Not really into this beat start, but what a GREAT 1st
verse!! Wow, that 2nd verse iz CRAZY!! There were like tons of words said in
that REALLY FAST verse!!! Polkk doin' tha DAMN THANG on tha 3rd verse wit that
fastness too!!! Tha hook was catchy although wit Auto-Tune... My Rating: 4.3
04. "First Night" Feat. Big 50
Looks like a fucking song... Lemme see what we got goin' on here...
>>> Oh no, goin' "Ride" style wit that Ace Hood/Trey Songz
beat. I ain't complainin' about tha beat, but it sounds like there's HEAVY
Auto-Tune in tha hook!!! Where's tha "fuck on" part in tha hook?
Shit... Well, you're on tha 1st verse here, and it was okay. That hook iz SO FUCKIN'
HORRIBLE on how it sounds!!! OWWWWW @ 2:07 wit tha "everydayyyyyyyyy"
part! WTF? That person said "nigga;" they DON'T deserve to say it wit
Auto-Tune; c'mon now!! Nice "hickies" part in tha 3rd verse from you
at least. My Rating: 1.1
05. "Swag Up" Feat. Lil' Polkk
Betta be betta!! >>> Stupid Auto-Tune vocals in tha beginning! Nice
part at around 1:17 and 1:25 wit tha acapella'd fast rappin'. Other than that,
I didn't like tha Auto-Tune vocals a whole lot! My God, tha 2nd verse has
Auto-Tune on it too!! Not too bad sounding, but please, remove tha Auto-Tune
'cause it would've sounded like a better, relaxed, Southern song!! My
Rating: 2.7
06. "I Got 'Em Hatin' On Me"
No comment on tha typical topic... >>> Shit, more Auto-Tune!! I don't
got time ta deal wit this!! No comment on tha whole song. Typical lyrics wit
tha "hatin' on" type shit that was boring, as well as those bad
vocals! Gay beat ending... My Rating: 1.2
07. "Loaded"
What should I expect? I usually expect good, but from you? >>> Oh God,
"Lost" beat... Oh God, Auto-Tune... I'm glad at 1:28, you got some
GREAT "loaded" type lyrics wit tha "weed" and tha
"pills" part. Great 2nd 1/2 of your 1st verse. Tha start to tha 2nd
verse was good, but tha rest iz just blah... My Rating: 2.9
08. "I'm Cold" Feat. Lil' Polkk & Young Show
Wit Young Show on it, can we have normal vocals now? >>> This just
doesn't end!!! Why tha Lil' Wayne
imitation wit tha vocals in tha beginning (Auto-Tune style)?!? Good hook here.
No comment on tha 1st verse, but Young Show has normal vocals, luckily, for tha
2nd verse! Better 2nd verse, and tha 3rd verse was pretty good, so thumbs up
there. My Rating: 3.7
09. "Jealousy" Feat. Lil' Polkk
Hopefully good wit Polkk on it... >>> Not likin' tha Auto-Tune vocals
as usual, but tha 2nd verse sounds better than tha 1st verse here. Okay hook,
but those vocals ruin everything 'cause it's Auto-Tune! My Rating: 2.7
10. "Like Me" Feat. Lil' King & Young Show
Newbie on tha feature wit Young Show, so hopefully, this iz more normal!
>>> NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Young Show has Auto-Tune!!! Why those fuckin'
"*insert name*, ba-by!" parts like Lil' Wayne?!? GAY!!! Tha 1st verse dude did a good
job; I'm assumin' that's Lil' King. My God, that Young Show on tha 2nd verse,
soundin' like a fuckin' gurl (ESPECIALLY wit that Auto-Tune)!! Horrible verse!!
Tha Auto-Tune makes me so annoyed to where I can't concentrate on tha lyrics! You
on tha 3rd verse, keepin' that shitty-ass Auto-Tune on yo lips! Sorry, "I can't
respect this movement" when it has Auto-Tune ALL OVA!!! Worst song on here
so far!! My Rating: 1.0
½time: Worse than tha PNC latest album start!! At least some trap
anthems, but no, every fuckin' song iz like Auto-Tune!! I thought after
"I'm Feeling Myself" that there would be potential, but it's more
like a one-hit wonder ta me! Average CD rating iz currently 2.7.
11. "Lonely" Feat. Young Show & Step
WTF @ tha title; more Auto-Tune? >>> Wow, I'm right; as always! You
have no Auto-Tune at least on tha 1st verse here, deliverin' it fast. Not
really feelin' tha "Elevators (Me & You)" type flow in tha hook.
Oh, no Auto-Tune on Show on tha 2nd verse here... Good 1st verse, aight 2nd
verse, but horrible vocal start to tha 3rd verse!!! Ewe/ahhhhh; annoying!!
Well, after hearin' tha hook so much (along wit that beat), I'm feelin' tha
hook a lil' more... My Rating: 3.0
12. "I'm Feeling Myself" Feat. Lil' Polkk & Young Show
MUCH BETTA song wit normal vocals!!! What I had to say about it when I heard it
first on Way3000's "Jigg City Rockstars 2": Oh, it sounded like a
GREAT Baton Rouge start here [although it's a Shreveport start]! That
title came outta nowhere, and it sounds like this dude ain’t fuckin’ playin’!!
What a GREAT start to tha 2nd ½ of tha CD here!! This gon be a “swag” song, and
I know I gon luv it!!! That “instant lovin’” beat here wit this dude on here!
I’m glad tha title comes at tha end at every line! Shit, that part at 1:05 wit
“smoke/pop pills;” too FUCKIN’ tight!!! Tha 2nd verse here sounds good too;
y'all unstoppable wit tha shit spit here! He puttin’ himself above every other
dude that wanna beat him; that’s watz good! GREAT SHIT here!! I’m glad he still
sayin’ tha title after each line that tha gurl [my bad, I thought Young Show
was a gurl at first when I reviewed it back then] be spittin’. My Current
Rating: 4.6
13. "M.O.B." Feat. Young Show & Big Sno
Hope thingz are back to normal (although I highly doubt it)! >>>
NOOOO!!! I KNEW by that typical title that it would turn out ta be like this!! Young
Show iz TOO MUCH like a female wit tha Auto-Tune!! How pathetic that it took
:55 to get to tha 1st verse! This song long as fuck, but you know, I just let
it play 'cause I'm patient like that! UGH!!! That FUCKIN' "Young Show,
ba-by" part (like Wayne)!
BOO @ Big Sno; how you gon debut to me wit Auto-Tune?!? I only liked his
"smoke weed" part, but that's it. My Rating: 1.1
14. "Prove It"
You gonna REALLY need ta "prove it" ta me without Auto-Tune!!
>>> Not likin' tha old sample in tha beat... Nothin' exactly special
so far, but nothin' terrible luckily. I like tha hook, you know, tha 2nd 1/4
and tha 4th 1/4 of it wit tha repetitive "bitch, prove it!" parts!
Not bad of a song here... My Rating: 3.5
15. "Shawty Got A Ass" Feat. Lil' King
Hope things don't fuck up again!! >>> Tha intro iz tellin' me ta not
like it wit that Auto-Tune!! HATE THA AUTO-TUNE!!! What's wit tha familiar
sound in tha beat?? Okay 1st verse, but no comment on tha hook and its
Auto-Tune lovin' effect. No comment on tha rest of tha song. My Rating: 1.4
16. "She Never" Feat. Big 50
>>> More shittyness for a start! Gay voice in tha 1st verse here...
You KNOW it sux when Lil' Wayne & Static Major's "Lollipop"
lyrics are in here!! I always have faith in tha #16 song, and now, it's 100%
REVERSED!!! Gayest 1st verse on tha vocals!! Much betta lyric on tha 2nd verse
wit "lick it like a frog!" I like tha "if that pussy
smell like water, I might dive in it; SPLASH!" part. LOL @ my plus! My
Rating: 1.3
17. "How I Ride" Feat. Lil' Polkk & Lil' Uzey
LOL @ tha uzi spelling... Didn't tha last song have "ride" type of
lyrics?? >>> Okay start. Remember: Due to tha wackness of this
mixtape, my excitement level iz quite low, so I can't be too nice at times 'cause
of how disappointed I've been! Okay 2nd verse too. Tha 3rd verse here iz
soundin' better. Ooh, "turn these co'naz wit marijuana;" feelin' that
line right there! Good job on tha 3rd verse; this joint gets a plus from me! My
Rating: 3.7
18. "Real Talk" Feat. Lil' Polkk & Young Show
Again, gonna have no anticipation! >>> Nice job wit tha fast rappin'
again! Maybe tha mixtape iz catchin' a revival? Good job from you, Polkk, and
Show's doin' a nice job too. Wow, I'm definitely feelin' tha alternations between
each otha every 4 lines! Nice job from Polkk, and Show doin' a nice job too!
Boo @ tha 3rd part from you (I think) had "MySpace" in it. Too much
goin' on here; crazy!! TONS of GREAT rhymes wit a nice "beep" part at
tha end (wit tha "shoot" line at tha end of tha last part)! No
Auto-Tune makes this a TIGHT joint/freestyle/whateva you wanna call it! My
Rating: 4.4
19. "Lookin' Rite" Feat. Lil' Polkk & Lil' Uzey
Hope tha Uzey does his thang again! >>> Tha beginning sounded like an
"I'm Feeling Myself" type start! Kinda long of a verse it felt like,
but nice job. Tha hook iz pretty nice too; it's "rite," especially
since it doesn't have tha Auto-Tune in it! I can tell this whole entire song
ain't gonna have that shitty-ass Auto-Tune in it 'cause there were no gay
vocals in tha beginning imitating shit! Tha 2nd verse iz off to a pretty decent
start; nothin' bad here. Here comes that Uzey dude on tha 3rd verse; yea! Great
job from him; he a great dude! I thought there were 20 seconds of silence at
tha end, but it was a real slow beat ending. My Rating: 3.9
20. "Trampoline Dat Hoe" Feat. Lil' King, Young Show & Big
Yungstar
Oh, God, look @ that title... Looks like this gon be fucked up or somethin'...
So many dudes, but only 3:08 on tha length. Hope we don't fuck up tha ending!!
>>> Wow, a "Tuck Ya Ice" beat, lol? Oh, God, I'm right, this
iz thumbs down! Why a Soulja Boy Tell 'Em type song??? What's wit tha skippin'?
I didn't really feel your 1st 1/2 of tha 1st verse. Tha 2nd 1/2 of tha 1st
verse iz bleh too... Not diggin' tha skippin' randomly. This prolly would've
had Auto-Tune if it was sent to tha mainstream, smh. Not for me at all here!
Young Show had a verse that I have no comment on; nothin' ta say. That Big
Yungstar dude just keepin' tha title consistent, sadly. Bad skippin' at 2:38!
Bad ending song!! My Rating: 1.0
Overall: Well, a review that was just pathetic; disgusting!! I'm
surprised around 4, 5 songs caught my attention! Other than that, this iz just
gay. Too much Auto-Tune (mainly in tha 1st 1/2), and it sounds all gay wit dat
shit! Sorry, but this ain't how you represent Louisiana! Oh yea, this ain't a Baton Rouge artist, so
there's no obsession wit me likin'. Either way, I'd suggest you do anotha
mixtape Auto-Tuneless!!
