R.I.P. Video #69: Big Krucial

Broadcasting from my studio, here in Northeast PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog here, sadly reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community.

The New Orleans, LA rapper known as Big Krucial passed away on Sunday, December 8, 2019, from complications with cancer; he was only 41 years-old. Krucial let Frankie know that he was diagnosed with cancer in 2009, a battle that he was confident enough to continuously fight. Being with Joasin Life Entertainment, Krucial released two CDs in 2010: Crimez In My Nature (Pimpin', Hustlin' & Headbussin'), as well as Return Of Da Deadman (Hell'z Recognin'). In 2011, he was featured on Garyville, LA rapper, Roach Marley's Paper Planes & Jet Fuel, as well as Frankie's Tha Louisiana Archives Vol. 7: It's A Baton Rouge Thang mixtape compilation. Big Krucial also made an appearance on Baton Rouge DJ, DJ Tremon's 2016 release, Hottest In The City, courtesy of M.O.B. Entertainment. Unfortunately, on Sunday, December 8, 2019, Krucial's strength lost all battles & soldiered on to Heaven. Earlier, on May 18th, Krucial celebrated his 41st birthday.

Review #1,011: Big Krucial "Crimez In My Nature (Pimpin', Hustlin' & Headbussin')"

Reviewed on 6.28.2011 (Review #1,011)


Joasin Life Entertainment presents my 2nd review for today, as well: Big Krucial “Crimez In My Nature (Pimpin’, Hustlin’ & Headbussin’)”. Looks like you spelled “hustlin’” wrong (as “huslten”, smh); I fixed it… Start Time: 10:55 PM | End Time: 11:17 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.

01. “I’ll Do” Feat. Callion & Joe Digga
>>> Okay hook; at least it ain’t gay… Tha 1st verse sounds pretty serious wit tha content. You just told me you have a bunch of cancer? Can’t picture it; I even picture you as an under-30-year-old. Oh, so Joe Digga’s dat dude dat I liked from tha previous CD? Good; not too bad for a slowish song… My Rating: 3.0


02. “Baddest” Feat. Callion
>>> Yea, this iz a no-no for me. My Rating: 1.0


03. “Read It & Weap” Feat. Staxx
This looks like an interestin’ title… >>> Ooh, a real-soundin’ Southern vibe goin’ on wit tha beat…! I like how this title sounds; sounds like you got a plus, here! Good collaboration, here, as well as tha pretty-good content for tha South! My Rating: 3.7


04. “Die N 1 Tyme”
>>> LOL, I picture cancer but it’s a “shirt off” anthem, instead, lol! Good ‘tryna-survive’ lyrics goin’ on, here; pretty serious, even for tha streetz! Tha hook sounds good, includin’ tha Twelve A’Klok “a coward die a thousand deaths” line! My Rating: 3.4


05. “Geeked Up” Feat. Ms. Devious
A gurl on tha feature… >>> “Fulla dat dope,” lol? What’s dat like? Hook sounds good; makes you wanna sound like a cookoo head, lol? Feelin’ this drugged-up vibe, lol! Ooh, tha gurl sounds pretty hot wit her drugged-up shit, too, lol! My Rating: 3.8


06. “Thrill Is Gone” Feat. Callion
>>> SMH; what’s worse iz dat tha intro’s about 30 seconds long! My Rating: 1.1


07. “I’m Nasty” Feat. Callion
>>> Betta style but still shitty…; rhymes from you are somewhat-good, though… My Rating: 1.4


08. “How Ah Gangsta Ride” Feat. Callion
>>> Uh oh, not tha jacked beat route! Okay for your perspective although I can’t take this too serious… I knew once Callion was gonna get on dat it was gonna suck even more. My Rating: 1.7


09. “Get Off Me”
>>> Tha hook sounds catchy wit this title and there’s a kick-ass attitude fa tha streetz, here! My Rating: 3.6


½time: ½ struggle, ½ only aight; 2.5 for tha CD rating makes sense, I assume?


10. “Trapped” Feat. Joe Digga & Staxx
>>> Forgot Callion on tha feature? I rather masturbate than hear these stupid, gay-soundin’ vocals! Beat’s okay and you sound good, here… Yes, Joe Digga, soundin’ good wit his kick-ass shit! Staxx iz pretty nice on tha mic, too; great verses wit an ‘I-rather-masturbate-than-deal-wit-bullshit’-soundin’ hook, unfortunately! My Rating: 2.6


11. “Shop Open” Feat. Roach Marley & Joe Digga
>>> Thought I might’ve heard this already but I guess I didn’t; Joasin Life in tha buildin’! Feelin’ tha 100% trap shit, here! “Needles for my shooters;” damn! I still can’t picture dat shit! I remember tha dayz at tha doctor, bein’ scared of tha needle! I still get funny wit tha stick goin’ down tha throat! Rhymes in tha 1st verse iz definitely somethin’ serious dat I can feel, at least! Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad; I like tha drug-related shit at all times, here! Tha big dawg on tha 3rd verse (Joe), doin’ tha damn thang fa tha gangstaz!! Glad shit “reakin’ of odor!” My Rating: 4.2


12. “Pole”
>>> A lil’ on tha catchy side… Feelin’ tha catchiness, although there’s not much for me ta say, here. My Rating: 3.5


13. “Feel Like You Feel”
>>> This one has a betta beat but tha catchiness from tha previous song was betta for me. Rhymes are aight, here; sound good for tha hood, I must say. My Rating: 3.3


14. “Wakin’ Up From Ah Dream” Feat. Callion & Joe Digga
I hate when people think there are many words dat end in “en”; it’s mostly “ing” or “in’”! >>> Shitty hook but I hear tha “cancer” shit in tha 1st verse; really don’t wanna see you die!!! Good shit comin’ from tha big dawg on tha 2nd verse; he sounds a lot like Scarface, this time!! Really feelin’ his content! My Rating: 2.5


15. “Oh-No”
>>> Sounds like it could be a catchy song… I don’t have much ta say ‘bout dis one although I’m feelin’ your outspoken attitude toward people, lol! My Rating: 3.2


16. “City Blues” Feat. Joe Digga & Callion
Damn, tha 50/50 collab! >>> Why can’t Joe Digga be only featured? Sad ta hear about this “cancer” all tha time! Not bad wit tha shit, here; feelin’ how Joe Digga comin’ through on tha mic wit his tightness! My Rating: 2.4


17. “Sattle Up” Feat. Ms. Devious
>>> Damn, this sounds more like Callion than Ms. Devious in tha beginning! Nothin’ really catchy for me, here; Ms. Devious nearly sounds off-beat… My Rating: 1.3


18. “Rather Be Wit U”
I hope this ain’t tha last song I’m reviewin’ of yours before you go… >>> Ironically, a sad ending… Not really feelin’ tha sample but I like tha X-rated shit in tha hook from you… or, iz dat tha 1st verse? Oh, I see where you’re goin’ wit tha title; nice consistentness wit this title and all tha shit about bein’ “wit” someone! Overall, this an okay, slow song fa me… My Rating: 2.9


Overall: Hate to see tha cancer take ova you… Too bad this wasn’t tha best of a review but I know you don’t take it personal; that’s why you’re real!

>>> Was gonna give up afta tha beginning but I’m gonna give your rappin’ a chance, real quick… Good for a gutta vibe… My Rating: 1.5

02. “Thuggin’ Like It’z Legal”

LOL. >>> Feelin’ this attitude, lol; funny dat there’s a “like it’z legal” when it comes ta “thuggin’,” lol! Good job wit these rhymes; fuck tha world mode, lol! My Rating: 3.9

03. “Yea He Real”

>>> Sounds like a good trap song based off tha sound; once again, I like how you have lots of energy in your voice! I guess that’s what separates you from tha random, wack rappers? Good job wit tha great rhymes! Hope you are “real,” okay? My Rating: 3.7

04. “Give Me A Reason”

>>> A lil’ catchy wit tha title/hook and a lil’ decent at tha same time. My Rating: 3.5

05. “You Mad At Me”

>>> Nearly gives me a vibe like tha previous song; not much ta say for this decentness… My Rating: 3.2

06. “Do U Sumthin’ Awful”

>>> Good attitude, again! LOL @ this hook and title; very entertainin’ at times! My Rating: 3.8

07. “Tomorrow”

>>> “I got my people wit me;” bad choice, here!! :td Tha 1^st verse sounds catchy wit tha beat and how you’re comin’ through… My Rating: 1.9

08. “Real 2 Da Bone”

>>> Britney Spears!!! No comment… My Rating: 1.1

09. “Full Throttle”

>>> Finally, a normal, gutta, energetic hook! I’ll take this a lil’ more serious; tha gutta voice iz back! Sounds like multiple people on here; who are they? My Rating: 4.1

½time: A 3.0-rated CD; betta let go of tha A-Tune!

10. “Zombie Medicine”

Like this title; hope it doesn’t sound spoiled! >>> Kinda long of an intro fa an anticipatin’ song but this iz payin’ off; tha attitude’s here wit a more-catchy hook than tha previous song! Multiple people on here; feelin’ tha dude on tha 2^nd verse, too! Kinda long of a song but this iz good, overall. My Rating: 4.0

11. “Pillowtalk”

Not lookin’ forward ta hearin’ dis… >>> Beat sounds anticipatin’ for a start… Okay, it’s gutta; thought it’d be some watered-down, A-Tune-type shit! I’m feelin’ tha attitude; overall, it’s an aight/good song. My Rating: 3.7

12. “How Ah Gangsta Act”

>>> Sounds good; not much ta say but it’s anotha hot song in your collection although a lil’ typical wit some of tha lyrics… My Rating: 3.7

13. “Edge Of Da Water”

>>> What a way ta ruin a good title; not my style… My Rating: 2.0

14. “Da Good Life”

Why iz it 5:42? :confused >>> Same dude singin’ from tha previous song but this iz a lil’ betta…; I like dat dude dat sounds like a Kevin Gates wit tha voice, whoeva dat iz! Tha rest of this iz only decent, which doesn’t live up to tha quality I’m lookin’ for. My Rating: 2.7

15. “Endangered Species”

>>> What? Not inta dis gayness… My Rating: 1.3

16. “Like We Did”

>>> Too slow for me to like; could’ve been handled betta. Once again, anotha dick-suckin’-soundin’ hook fa 20-not-‘pose-ta-be-a-dick-suckin’-year-11!! :td My Rating: 1.4

17. “Million & 1 Hataz”

>>> How do you go from a dick-suckin’-soundin’ hook ta tha normal attitude of yours? Why have a singer on tha hook? It’s like a gamble; I rather hear tha gutta sound of you! A lil’ betta of a song but how many songs about “hataz” are we gonna have? :confused My Rating: 2.6

18. “Nobody’s Fault But Mine”

>>> You’re absolutely right about this title for what you put on it. As far as rhymes, it’s “[everybody’s] fault but [yours]!” My Rating: 1.5

Overall: You have a pretty-good attitude and an energetic flow, at times. But, when everyone’s tryna sound ‘different’, you fall into dat trap, here. I got anotha CD of yours to check out; I hope it’s betta than this, especially since I’m optionally checkin’ it out for you!
