Review #1,996: DJ Tremon "Trippy Tuesday"

Reviewed on 6.08.2021 (Review #1,996)
 
 
As I’m two dayz early with slowly reachin’ my goal, I decided to shift back from tha 2000’s to tha recent/those from years ago. Specifically, I’m talkin’ ‘bout my boy, DJ Tremon & his Trippy Tuesday compilations, courtesy of M.O.B. Entertainment! This release iz from 2015 & I see there’s a bunch of throwback/non-Louisiana shit on here. I’m not 100% sure how I gon feel on each one; we’ll see. Also, if I already reviewed a track in tha past, I’ll just put tha current rating for each. Without further or do, let’s see how great this under-tha-influence-type of compilation gon be…! Start Tyme: 7:13 PM | End Tyme: 8:02 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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Samuel Maurice feat. Young B “Come & Smoke With Me”
>>> Props fa tha “4:20 AM”! As far as this, I ain’t think this was a slow jam; I understand fa 4/20 but to kick off tha set with this slow jam iz a no-no fa me… At least there’s life brought to it with Mr. Young B with tha good, laidback, summer-like feelin’… Still, Samuel doesn’t equal Jodeci! My Rating: 1.6
 
 
02. Foxx “Smokin’ Loud”
My Current Rating: 4.4
 
 
03. Juicy J “Smoked Out, Dabbed Out”
>>> Thought this was gon be a lot older, like a 2000 throwback or somethin’. Hearin’ this & it sounds like today’s boring flow… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds good with tha screwed voice; only way ta get high, basically? Likin’ how he “on a dab!” Good-goin’ with how he comes through fa tha rest of this; not too bad, overall. My Rating: 3.4
 
 
04. Lil’ Boosie “For My Thugs”
I only had just reviewed Boosie’s Youngest Of Da Camp, earlier last week. Barely have dived into Boosie’s catalog, since I only made it to tha year 2000 with my old-school reviewz… >>> Gotta feel tha throwback Louisiana sound fa tha Rouge! Great lil’ production & this hook from one of tha greatest! All about celebratin’ & counteractin’ bad vibes! Hearin’ Boosie on tha 1st verse & he sounds excellent ta hold it down fa tha hood, of course; good shit, to tha max! Tha 2nd verse sounds good with how Boosie just owns every situation; good shit…! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
05. Mystikal “I Smell Smoke”
>>> Definitely feelin’ his throwback, N’awlinz appearance, here; all about tha “smoke” & tha aggressive flow/voice! Like how he says, “AM turns to PM”; I wish I can make tyme go quick, today, while I’m still tryna find a full-tyme… My Rating: 4.2
 
 
06. Colonel Loud feat. Young Dolph & Rico Barrino “California”
I remember this, when I heard it & had it in rotation, back in 2015; Dunkin’, Dunkin’, Dunkin’. Also, it was these tymes, where DJ B Real had me blocked & I slightly had went a lil’ mainstream with my tastes, at tymes. Anyway, feels like I haven’t heard this in a long while; I think I really liked this, att (at tha tyme), due to tha shomkin’ theme & Young Dolph. Always appreciate tha sunny-soundin’ vibes in this, includin’ tha appreciation fa Cali…! My Current Rating: 4.0
 
 
07. Lil’ Phat feat. Mouse “Take A Puff”
Only Phat outta tha three of ‘em? *Re-Hears…* Naw, y’all missin’ Mouse on tha feature! Shell woulda been here if only his verse was here… My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
08. Juicy J feat. Rae Sremmurd “Already”
>>> Sounds like whateva when Swae Lee comes through, on tha hook; not really any comment fa this mainstreamness… Hearin’ Juicy come through & this flow’s a lil’ betta than his previous joint on here… My Rating: 3.0
 
 
09. Young B feat. Dino Danja, Jaye London, Lil’ Scottie & Dae~Dae “Bars N My Fanta”
My Current Rating: 4.7
 
 
10. Dylan Cage feat. Jimi Jump & Jose Guapo “In My System”
>>> Luvin’ how Dylan comin’ through with everythang “in [his] system,” just embracin’ shit; definitely nice, with a decent beat… Hearin’ Dylan on tha 1st verse & it’s cool; diggin’ his consistent street content fa this fucked-up “system.” Also, luvin’ how on tha 2nd hook, Jimi Jump comes through as an ‘80s baby in his 30’s with tha unstoppable “system”; huh bruh…! Always luv his voice on tha mic & tha great vibe of Baton Rouge he brings to tha table; always welcome ta hold it down, Jimi! Ain’t Jose Guapo one of those random rappers from 2015? I remember tha name & thought this collab threw me off with him bein’ featured… Anyway, I (sarcastically) luv how he comes through with these rhymes like he a millionaire; still, a lil’ entertainin’ but I want an all-Louisiana collab! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
11. Beatking “Powder”
>>> Beat a lil’ typical-soundin’ with this trap sound; hook sounds a lil’ random with random words bein’ spit… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds okay, I guess…; I like that “kushijuana” combined word, tho! Tha rest of this shit ain’t bad; basically, it’s just rappin’. My Rating: 3.2
 
 
12. Wiz Khalifa “Never Been”
>>> Likin’ tha intro from you & DJ Scrap, Tremon; nice shit! Of course, Wiz big about tha shmokin’ & this sounds like a good addition fa this Trippy Tuesdayness. Hearin’ tha hook & it’s like, fuck tha “bankroll” shit; rather it’ve just been nothin’ but high references…! My Rating: 3.7
 
 
13. Hey Daem feat. Spitta “Need To Smoke”
>>> Hearin’ that Daem dude on tha 1st verse & iz this a lotta improvement? Remembered how awful he was, back in tha early 2010’s, with watered-down a-tune. Now, he sounds tougher on here but still struggles with a-tune addiction, at tymes, such as on this track. I think I talked too soon about what I was sayin’ with tha 1st verse ‘cause it spilled into tha hook, smfh! Yucky-soundin’ hook! Hearin’ Spitta’s contribution & at least he’s 100% organic with his voice/everythang! Keep spittin’, Spitta! My Rating: 2.2
 
 
½tyme: A 3.7-rated release, currently; mainly, most of tha tracks are good/decent, while there are excellent throwbacks & some shitty tracks.
 
 
14. Dae~Dae & Dino Danja “The Highway”
My Current Rating: 4.8
 
 
15. Juicy J feat. K Camp “One More Drink”
>>> Oh yeah, I remember this; didn’t recognize it, at first; Music Choice Rap… K Camp does a catchy job with tha hook to get a “lil’ bit” fucked up, ya feel me? Also, a good lil’ flow from Juicy, as well; 2015 was definitely a loaded year! This mixtape was released on my late brother’s final birthday; he died 12 dayz later from morphine, xanz & heroin, smh. My Current Rating: 4.1
 
 
16. M-16 “Cupps Up”
Producer: EQ Tha Misfit
>>> S/O to EQ Tha Misfit on tha beat; gotta luv tha club vibe! Sounds like a good lil’ hook; all about tha clubs! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & dude got tha energy on lock; props fa keepin’ it movin’ fa Tremon, here! Tha rest of this shit pretty focused & fulla energy; good shit, my dude! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
17. Dae~Dae “Get Lifted”
>>> A slower vibe fa Dae, here… Hearin’ him on tha 1st verse & it’s cool with his choice ta 365-like “Get Lifted”; huh bruh…! “I’m loaded, like, 24/7”; glad dude luv tha shmoke! Tha hook sappy with tha singin’ but with this hook, it gets tha props ‘cause tha only lyrics are “high…; get lifted”; that’s all you need! Luv how Dae comes through on tha 2nd verse with tha “you shmokin’ doo-doo” & shit, dude definitely official! Glad I got ta shmoke wit him tha night I met you, on October 13, 2017! Nice lil’ outro from Tremon, as well, takin’ it to “Airline.” My Rating: 4.2
 
 
18. Famous “This Blunt”
>>> Dude definitely focused fa “This Blunt”!! Gotta luv how focused & energetic he iz on this hook!! Beat ain’t too bad ta rap on; a lil’ simple but it’s dope with Famous on it! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Famous & he got cool energy; glad he luv to get high!! Tha 2nd verse cool with how he continues this shmoke obsession; good shit! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
19. Luniz feat. E-40, Shock G, Richie Richie, Spice 1 & Dru Down “I Got 5 On It (Bay Ballers Remix)”
Not only iz tha file removed, due to it bein’ a mainstream song but I can’t play any bit of it. Wait a second, tho; there’s more mainstream tracks on here. Like, why did this & a few others choose to get removed, instead, due to their copyright bullshit? Anyway, I prolly have heard tha remix b4 but for tha most part, this an okay song; more recognized for tha beat, tho. My Current Rating: 3.1
 
 
20. Young B “Where The Tabs At”
My Current Rating: 4.6
 
 
21. Z-Ro feat. Lil’ O “I Can’t Leave Drank Alone”
Anotha one removed but I found a way to sample it… >>> Lmao @ tha old beat tag from that “My Dougie” producer. Hearin’ tha hook & luv how Z-Ro real focused with tha “drank” & all that. Hearin’ him on tha 1st verse & I’m real glad throughout all these decades, he still can get fucked up like it’s nothin’. Really luv how he comes through on his verse, includin’ how he “po’d up with DJ Screw fa [his] 22nd birthday,” especially that it was on “Monday” & that he “didn’t wake up till Thursday”; crazy! As far as Lil’ O, hadn’t heard him since 2006 when him & George Floyd’s group, tha S.U.C., was on my playlist with undaground tracks. As far as his verse, it aight; who needs tha “money in my pocket” line, tho… My Rating: 4.4
 
 
22. Big Moe “Bar Baby”
From one S.U.C. dude to tha next…! >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ throwback, slow-soundin’ beat fa Big Moe, here; catchy lil’ hook, too. Hearin’ what he got on tha verse & it sounds great/more loaded on tha mic than Z-Ro; too bad his addiction caught up with him. My Rating: 3.5
 
 
23. DJ Tremon “WMOB Commercial Break”
>>> Sounds nice; I still haven’t experienced a high through “lean,” yet; we’ll see when that’ll be… My Rating: N/A
 
 
24. Dedrick Jamal feat. Hey Daem “Slow Motion”
>>> Cool lil’ beginning; luv when tha BPMs are double tha speed than tha norm, on tha hook! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it ain’t bad from Dedrick, here; sounds like a typical flow with nothin’ really standin’ out, except that double BPM part in tha beat. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s aight; feelin’ how Daem comin’ through on tha double BPM’d part of tha beat! My Rating: 3.6
 
 
25. Webbie “Laid Way Back”
Producer: Mouse
Webbie’s Savage Life was tha 1st Louisiana rap album I eva purchased, back on July 6, 2005. I wasn’t even reviewin’ at tha tyme but supported certain artists, at tha tyme. I rememba this one & I rememba how consistent that release was; I was like, “There’s somethin’ special about how consistent all these tracks are…!” Lil’ did I know, it was tha heart of tha Jigga City & Mouse on tha tracks! With this track, you gotta luv tha catchiness of Webbie’s luv fa “high dro” & Mouse’s dope-ass beat sounds! Of course, tha rhymes sound awesome on some of Mouse’s best beats! My Current Rating: 4.4
 
 
26. Slim Thug feat. Muggs & Kevin Gates “What You Mean To Me”
>>> An okay slow beat; sounds decent with Slim Thug’s 2015 flow, here; an okay 1st verse but at least he on tha “weed” tip, here… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like an attempt at Gates bein’ catchy but it’s just a sappy-soundin’, slow-soundin’ hook… Hearin’ tha Muggs dude on tha 2nd verse & he str8; I like how he focused fa tha “weed,” in tha end. Even room fa Gates ta have a 3rd verse, here…; glad he ain’t singin’. His 2015 rappin’ decent but I’m glad it earned success wit me, thanx to tracks like “I Don’t Get Tired” & his collab with Chedda Da Connect. My Rating: 3.3
 
 
27. Symore Banks “2 Good 2 Quited”
>>> Lol, ain’t no what to expect, here, except I had thought tha title looked like Sauce Walka’s; now, I know why. I’ono about this chick jackin’ tha Sauce beat but I guess it’s good fa tha “pussy.” But Tremon, I’ono if I would consider it a “drug,” yet, tha “strongest” one… Hearin’ what she comin’ through on tha verse & she sounds like a lesbian? Into tha “clit,” here? Sounds interestin’, even tho it ain’t that great of a track fa me… My Rating: 2.1
 
 
Overall: I wonder how Trippy Tuesday 2 gon go, when I review it? I’m glad I got tha chance ta review this one b4 my 2,000th review mark. With that bein’ said, keep tha Trippy Tuesday up; it’ll get betta!

Of course, tha full-length’s here: Lil’ Yella “Operation Shutdown Vol. 2: Back 2 Da Trap! Start Time: 11:09 PM | End Time: 11:45 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.

Link To CD: N/A


01. “Intro”
Wit 3:32 on tha length, it must be a song? >>> LOL, Young Hits doin’ dis beat. Finally, a catchy-soundin’ “intro” track from someone, basically ‘bout tha mixtape title! You’re everything up in anything, lol! I like tha hook, too, wit dat “Operation Shutdown” title and shit! My Rating: 4.4


02. “Duffle Bag Stacks” Feat. Ray Vicks
Black Balloon’s own in tha buildin’ wit Thug Nation Entertainment/Real Music; let’s get it! >>> Tha beat sounds like we’re in Memphis, lol; definitely some hot shit to tha fullest!! Definitely a jam; good, street shit you spittin’ on tha 1st verse, Yella! You know I really enjoy shit like dis and how you rep tha hood! LOL @ how Ray Vicks sounds on dis; sounds, like, what someone would sound like if they were really young (17 – 19)! I still like tha collaboration, though; good job teamin’ up! My Rating: 4.5


03. “5-Star Street King”
Sounds good, like all your other shit. Nothin’ but dat catchy-soundin’ street shit, brought to tha table! Good rhymes, too; you know what it iz! My Current Rating: 4.4


04. “Paperchase”
Combound word? Let’s see what dis about… >>> A lil’ Poppy on tha hook; what’s up wit dis? Didn’t need ta have a jacked-soundin’ hook; skips tha rest of tha hook! Not tha best-soundin’ song fa me; way too mainstream? My Rating: 3.1


05. “Front 2 Back” Feat. Level & DJ B-Real
Surprised I didn’t see dis on tha promo disc I just reviewed; almost forgot about dis. Anyway, you know dis shit’s official, too! Anything wit Level in it definitely gets tha real-big plus from me!! Good job doin’ ya thang wit tha 1st verse but mainly, dat hook! LOL @ how Level comes through on dis; mo energy than a few otha features I heard in tha past, lol! My Current Rating: 4.4


06. “Operation Shutdown”
Almost reminds me of what tha intro sounded like, just by lookin’ at tha title; how will dis go? >>> Ooh, a slower version of what I’d expect from you, trap style! How cool were you wit Sheen~Marie? Really likin’ tha content, here; nothin’ but dem drugs, lol! Tha “president’s black…” shit was too cliché and appeared outta nowhere; really, people still talk about Obama, lol? My Rating: 4.5


07. “Don’t Be In The Club” Feat. Young Hits
A completely-different new song? >>> No; why tha altered title? No “Young Hits” beat tag this time, lol? LOL… Tha hook’s definitely great,once again!! Wit all this shit goin’ on, didn’t realize dat there was a feature on tha 3rd verse; can’t exactly ID who it iz? Hope they say their name; they’re doin’ their thang! Oh, now, they’re ID (Young Hits, lol)! My Current Rating: 4.2


08. “Live Twice”
You know what it iz wit Young Hits on tha track! Nice beat here wit you spittin’ some real tight shit, here, in tha 1st verse; gutta to tha fullest!! Soundin’ like it’s for tha Baton Rouge streetz, here, on tha 2nd verse, since you “got” buku shit to tha fullest! Your “dope money” be stackin’ high!! Glad for tha “Young Hits” and “D-So” shout outs at tha end! My Current Rating: 4.4


09. “Move It Like That”
LOL, glad this iz here! Gives a good vibe fa dis CD! A Young Hits beat; lol @ this vibe fa you. This sounds like an interestin’-soundin’ song fa you; likin’ how Young Hits does his thang on tha beat. My Current Rating: 4.2


10. “2-Step” Feat. D-So
LOL… Why do these producers have to have different sides to them? Gets annoyin’ at times… Too quiet of a song afta tha previous songs… At least tha lyrics are on a Baton Rouge level on tha 1st verse but this hook’s way too soft fa you, Yella… LOL, tha song iz soft but there’s all “traphouse” shit in tha 2nd verse? Weird-ass mix but I don’t mind what comes outta your mouth … Interestin’ feature from D-So, too… My Current Rating: 3.6


11. “Mirror”
>>> Tha quality sounds a lil’ decreased in tha beginning; jacked? Sounds good, trap style. Tha vocalizin’ sounds cliché; not sure how much I gon buy dis… SMH @ tha start to tha 1st verse? LOL, I do radio play for free! You don’t need thousands of dollars, illegally! As for tha song, itself, this iz good wit what you got. My Rating: 4.1


12. “Blow’em Down” Feat. Jon Doe & Young Hits
Yay! Tha Jon Doe version again! Too bad they left tha features out on tha back cover, smh; what’s up wit dat? I rather hear Doe than someone like Boosie dat appears 2347823089432408x on CDs! I don’t think I noticed his voice back then, though. Tight shit here and I’m glad it’s here! Didn’t realize Young Hits rapped, lol? Also, made tha track, too… Tha hook sounds tight; luv tha vibe here!!! Tha title sounds good, too; interestin’ shit here!! Here’s tha 1st verse; good job collaboratin’!! I look forward ta hearin’ tha rest of tha song!! Sounds like someone different on tha 2nd verse here (Hits?); good shit to tha fullest!! You’re on tha 3rd verse, Yella, keepin’ it gutta!! You know how dem 225 white boyz be!! Nice, quick lil’ Jigg City hood verse!! My Current Rating: 4.4


½time: A 4.2-rated full-length CD, currently; you know what it iz!


13. “Baddest Body” Feat. City Boy & Lil’ Boonie
Hate ta say dis but anotha error on tha back cover: a “d” iz missin’ from tha “baddest” title, smh. ROFL, anotha Young Hits beat!! Interestin’ collab, here, and tha hook’s real catchy; likin’ this energetic side when it comes ta achievin’ tha “baddest body.” Here’s tha 1st verse from you and you’ll “kick it like a Soccer game,” lol! ROFL @ tha 2nd verse! I luv when I hear “titties” in raps!! I thought it was Young Slimm dat was listed as tha 2nd verse? Tha previous time I saw dis, Lil’ Boonie wasn’t listed, but he’s really in this song? Anyway, dude did his thang fa dis shit right chea!! Here’s tha 3rd verse and Boonie’s all about his “Buffy;” everyone’s sayin’ dat name all of a sudden… LOL @ all tha “sippin’ on Daiquiris” shit! My Current Rating: 4.4


14. “Rollin’ Wit Da Bass Up (Remix)” Feat. Sam I Am & Max Minelli
And tha “with” should be “wit”… Still sounds great fa dis Z-Man-produced joint and this iz great dat Max Minelli joined tha team here!! Sounds betta, this time, and you’re soundin’ good on tha 1st verse! Tha 2nd verse iz dat crazy-ass Sam I Am, lol! He really showin’ his ass off in tha streetz, here; definitely sounds betta on his verse, too, fa some reason!! Max’s on tha 3rd verse and he’s got tha hood on lock when it comes ta what satisfies you, ya dig? Definitely good ta hear him join dis track! My Current Rating: 4.6


15. “Pillhead Shit” Feat. Big Scoob, Thug Addict & Young Ready
Uh oh, 5:44 on tha length!! This iz a mega collaboration, givin’ me tha same anticipation as when I heard dat Tha Camp “Break It Off!”!!! >>> Nice intro from Big Scoob, here! Ooh, it’s Camp on tha beat, this time, bringin’ dat hot shit like “Dope Money”! Tha hook’s definitely nice wit dis beat and tha anticipation I have fa dis!! Ooh @ :53 in tha beat; feelin’ those sounds!!! Big Scoob sounds good fa a comeback and all dat on tha 2nd verse… I know tha name Thug Addict; prolly only heard him once or twice. Now, lemme see what he ‘bout on dis shit… Sounds betta, here; prolly tha highlight of dis song behind tha beat! ROFL, it got more wild wit Ready on tha 4th verse, lol!! My Rating: 4.8


16. “Like Me” Feat. Delwin The Krazyman
Just found out dat Jon Doe produced dis. Matta fact, I made sure I paid attention to tha beat tag and I heard tha “Doe” part in tha beginning! Tha beat sounds real, real good but I dunno about startin’ off wit all tha Nu$$ie shit… Tha hook’s definitely hotness, here; catchy-ass Yella!! Speakin’ of Yella, here you are on tha 1st verse, doin’ ya thang!! Good, consistent job, holdin’ thangz down on tha 1st verse and now, tha 2nd verse sounds like it’s strictly for tha Jigg City streetz! Fuck “tha DJs dat won’t play (your) song;” good thing fa me wit gettin’ peeps on tha radio, instantly! For Delwin on tha 3rd verse, when I hear tha verse itself start off wit a Nu$$ie quote, I feel like skippin’ it… SMH, I thought tha verse was gonna end wit, “Nu$$ie!!!,” but it ended wit “Delwin” (period, not three exclamation points, smh). My Current Rating: 4.6


17. “Swaggered Out (Remix)” Feat. Supa
No longer of Down Bad so I’m takin’ dat out tha ID—unless this was ’09 or early in 2010? Anyway, interestin’ ta hear a remix here, ya dig?! Tha hook and beat’s really on point, still, and tha 1st verse’s definitely consistent wit you on it, showin’ off, lol! Supa’s on tha 2nd verse, soundin’ just-as-great as tha original! My Current Rating: 4.6


18. “Wickit” Feat. Pitt & Yung Slimm
LOL @ tha “wicked” “Wickit” title and this tight feature!! Looks like I gon enjoy dis!! >>> Definitely good shit here! When you have Pitt on tha feature, it goes down!! Tha people dat roll wit Young Ready are definitely crazy when they get on any joint!!! Definitely a “225”-repped joint to tha fullest!! You’re on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some mo of dat hot shit fa tha hood!! Here’s Slimm on tha 3rd verse (“Young” or “Yung”?); feelin’ tha gangsta shit to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.7


19. “Renegade (John Revish)”
Iz “John Revish” a person on tha feature or a part of tha title? >>> Must be part of tha title ‘cause I hear you doin’ ya thang on this catchy song. I’m feelin’ how you comin’ through ta start tha verses off; good job wit tha rhymes! Sounds like you’re givin’ it your all on tha mic; likin’ how you deliverin’ shit, here! My Rating: 4.2



20. “G-6 (3Mix)” (Far East Movement Feat. Lil’ Yella & Dev)
>>> LOL, if you would’ve known betta, you would include Dev on tha feature (hook/sample). The Cataracs are out ‘cause you’re where they were. Not too bad; I thought this was more of a surprise but it sounds betta when you have tha Baton Rouge-soundin’ shit. My Rating: 4.0


21. “Monsta”
>>> This iz a smh fa me; Kanye ain’t Dance or Louisiana so no need fa me ta have interest. Your rappin’, surprisingly, sounds betta on dis than tha “G-6”, but tha beat/outcome wasn’t a surprise like “G-6”. ROFL @ tha remainin’ 25 - 18 seconds! My Rating: 3.8


22. “Lonely”
>>> SMDH…; why are we havin’ gay shit like dis? Hook’s an automatic flunk. There’s no interest in dis fa me; why iz this so long? My Rating: 1.0


23. “Feels Good 2 Be A Gangsta” Feat. Tragic & J-Rev
Original track since there’s features? >>> Doesn’t sound like it wit tha beat style but I guess it iz… Tha rappin’ ain’t too bad but when this ain’t 100% original-soundin’, my interest iz a lil’ on tha low side. Tha 2nd verse aight/good; why tha money obsession, lol? As well as includin’ shit ‘bout tha “hoes” in a debut verse, lol? Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse iz doin’ tha same thing, too… My Rating: 3.9


24. “Chains” Feat. Lil’ Boosie
ROFL, again! Bonus track here, lol. Produced by Tinman, doin’ his thang on tha only beat I know him off of, lol! Good shit wit you representin’ wit all your clever “chains,” here, and representin’ all tha way wit your catchy style! From tha hook to tha 1st verse, it’s all catchiness at its finest!! Boosie sounds good on tha 2nd verse wit how he’s showin’ you luv, to tha fullest. He sounds kinda calm on tha verse, though; less energetic, lol. Classic “Nu$ie Alive”-type music for me so I’m glad it’s a part of tha family here! My Current Rating: 4.7


Overall: Seein’ tha back cover wit tha producers listed and I didn’t notice where X-Fyle was on this CD; who’s M16, by tha way? Nice job wit this CD, minus those jacked songs toward tha end! Keep up tha great work and now, hopefully, get outta jail!

Review #792: IL Duce "Unsigned Hype Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 12.29.2010 (Review #792)




Wit tha next set of reviewz, my boy JP hooked me up wit a bunch of CDs, mainly from tha ’08 – ’09 dayz. They look really anticipatin’ so I definitely gon look forward ta hearin’ ‘em!! Takin’ it to my 3rd review of tha day, it’s IL Duce “Unsigned Hype Vol. 1! Not sure of tha year; it has ta be ‘08ish, I assume. Start Time: 12:31 PM | End Time: 1:05 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. 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.

LOL, different version? Oh yea, dis tha past. >>> I like how this version sounds; gotta luv tha before-Nu$$ie-died times!

I think you meant “Keith” and not “Kieth” on tha back cover. >>> For a G-Pipe beat, this iz pretty jammin’, once again. Feelin’ your consistent rappin’, as you’re doin’ a nice job here. Keith sounds good on tha hook, too; this iz a pretty-good result. My Rating: 4.0


17. “Until I’m Gone”
