Review #1,431: Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I. "The Gift & The Curse"

Reviewed on 1.31.2015 (Review #1,431)


Just a few more hours before tha month ends… This CD I finna review from 2013 and it’s sponsored by P.C.O. Entertainment, once again: Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I. The Gift & The Curse! Start Time: 6:03 PM | End Time: 6:42 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!

© 2015 CD Review (Review #1,431) reviewed on 1.31.2015 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Gift & The Curse”
Without tha “The,” lol? >>> Nice piano to start this off… Sounds like we slowed thangz down since tha Luv 4 Da Streets disc… Tha hook sounds nice, and even though tha beat’s nice, it sounds like this gon be more on a boring level than tha Luv 4 Da Streets songs? Either way, I fux witcha, Dizzy; gotta feel your rhymes on tha 1st verse, includin’ those “cops sirens” at 1:17, lol… Oh, and no hook, here? Yeah, this gon be boring fa 5:15; that’s real long, especially wit no features… Overall, great rhymes, but too long fa an intro track! My Rating: 3.5


02. “Geto Boyz” feat. Raj Smoove
Here comes tha Smoove in tha beginning of tha disc, once again… >>> Instantly started, here, with anotha slower-soundin’ beat… Nice rhymes, once again, though this kinda boring, too… Damn, anotha one without a hook? Oh, I hear it, but damn, no transition in tha beat? Yuck… Nice mixin’ from Raj toward tha end of this track… My Rating: 3.1


03. “Shit 2getha” feat. UTP Skip
Yeah! >>> Pretty aggressive wit tha beginning and that’s “Fuck you” movie sample in tha beginning… Okay, this sounds much betta; hearin’ an actual hook with a beat transition first, and it sounds nice! Yeah, I have ta agree wit this title, especially during 2013, when I ain’t have my “shit 2getha!” I was dick-suckin’ this dude (and, when I say that, I mean, “Dickridin’,” but I stress my vulgar wording due to I got screwed in tha end) from Baton Rouge, who’s a rapper/producer. He still owes me $400 for me savin’ his career and it sux how tha whole year was him, him, him, and he blocked me! It’s like, R.I.P. 2013 fa me! Anyway, nice shit from you on tha 1st verse, Dizzy; gotta feel how you puttin’ it down on tha track, here… Hearin’ Skip on tha 2nd verse and he’s got tha aggressive voice, too; gotta luv how he comes through hard on tha track! Dizzy, here you are on tha 3rd verse (almost thought tha whole UTP was on this, accordin’ to tha ID, but it just says, “UTP Skip,” which iz just Skip); nice job, Diz! And, endin’ it wit a quick lil’ snippet from that movie, once again… My Rating: 4.2


04. “Bananaz”
Whoooooot!! >>> Beat Doctor on tha beat, here… Diggin’ tha beat, here; a catchier, slower beat with a nice hook wit you goin’ “bananaz!” Wow @ tha 1st verse: “Eat your body like… cancer;” interestin’ how you spit dat… Once again, you doin’ a nice job wit tha 1st verse, spittin’ like you need to spit rhymes… Tha 2nd verse sounds like you’re ready fa tha hoes, here, wit how you describin’ their actions as “bananaz,” lol… “Bitch, I’m from New Orleans, hear it in my grammar;” already! “Ya heard me!” A nice lil’ bridge/outro, here, with those few spots you mentioned dat go “bananaz.” LOL, there weren’t that many spots… Also, hope there’s a faster-soundin’ song on this CD, too…; you need them faster club bangaz, Dizzy! My Rating: 4.1


05. “So Faded” feat. Mugsy & Rantz Davis
>>> Sounds nice and scary for tha beginning beat… Um, it went from a gay-soundin’ voice in tha bcakground to a hot-soundin’, synth-soundin’ beat! Nice job wit tha 1st verse, Dizzy, handlin’ tha beat well…! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s that voice… Even though it sounds weird, at least tha beat and tha content of bein’ “faded” sounds nice! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty nice, too, here; good shit… Hearin’ Mugsy on tha 3rd verse and it’s good, even though tha Luv 4 Da Streets times sounded catchier… My Rating: 4.2


½time: This album was off to a boring start, but it picked up slightly toward tha 2nd ¼… So far, tha CD rating’s at a 3.8; let’s keep this goin’…


06. “Ever Since” feat. Kourtney Heart
Once I saw Kourtney’s name, I instantly thought of Magnolia Shorty… >>> Not feelin’ tha beginning beat; sounds real soft… Even though this has a bounce vibe in tha beat, I’m not really into this. Kourtney ain’t too bad, like a Jennifer Hudson on tha hook, but I’m not too crazy about this R&B-soundin’ shit… Here’s you on tha 1st verse and it sounds like you’ve been inflicted by your “brother” and his death… Okay, a quicker verse, this time; at least it’s not that long… Here’s tha 2nd verse and did “fuck” get censored? An okay verse… Even got Kourtney on tha lil’ bridge, here, missin’ ‘em… My Rating: 2.8


07. “Downtown Nigga” feat. 8-9 Boyz & Kidd Kidd
Nice collab? >>> Samplin’ SWV and their “Downtown,” here; makes sense… I’m diggin’ how y’all turned this into a 2013 version, fa tha N.O., here… Hearin’ tha beginning and it sounds nice… Okay, keepin’ it goin’ wit these 8-9 Boyz; sound okay to hear… Glad to hear that err-body on they grind… Good ta hear you, too, here… Kidd on tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ good ta collab wit, as well. Props fa shoutin’ out Sess 4-5’s “Nuthin’ But Fire Records,” too. My Rating: 4.2


08. “Fuck A Hook” feat. Paasky & 3D Na’Tee
Before tha “Hot Nigga” no-hook song, lol? >>> Beat’s only decent, here, but it works… Here you are on tha 1st verse and you’re comin’ through wit some nice shit, at least… Either way, this just a decent combination, between tha verse and tha beat; nothing striking for me… No “hook,” just like tha title, and it’s Paasky on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit regular-soundin’ rhymes… We got Na’Tee on tha 3rd verse, here, and she’s got some nice rhymes, here… Yeah, how can they call her “average?” She’s always been holdin’ tha rhymes down! My Rating: 3.8


09. “24/7” feat. Mugsy & Teco
Nice collab, once again? >>> Sounds nice with a B.G. sample and that “24/7” repeatin’ on tha hook, as well as Teco holdin’ tha hook down, on this beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good from you, Diz; keep holdin’ it down… Hearin’ Mugsy on tha 2nd verse and it’s an okay verse fa me; tha flow’s a lil’ catchy, with how it’s delivered… You’re on tha 3rd verse, here, Dizzy…; ehh, it’s okay. I mean, there’s nothin’ wrong wit this joint; it just doesn’t strike me easily, like tha older songs… Oh yeah, I like when tha “7” repeats, in tha beat, like, “7—7—7—7—7—7—7,” lol… My Rating: 3.7


10. “2 Fli”
Yup! >>> Beat’s a lil’ soft for this ending track, which kinda fits… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it sounds like it passes tha test, at least… Bleh, a sample on tha hook; it’s whateva… Tha 2nd verse’s only okay, too; nothin’ special, here… My Rating: 2.5


Overall: I’ono… This was just a decent album for me; nothin’ really strikin’ outta it… Only a 4.2’s my highest rating? I’ono… Prolly could’ve had a few faster beats, but not really on tha R&B side… Also, a few tracks bored me with too many rhymes and a lack of transitioning tha beats… But, hopefully, you’ll be hittin’ me up when you drop a new disc; lemme know!

01. Intro (Raj Smoove)
>>> Nice intro from Raj, includin’ this beat in tha background… My Rating: N/A


02. “Love For The Streets” feat. Nutt Da Kidd
Lemme see… >>> Really diggin’ tha singin’; prolly would’ve added it if I would’ve known it in 2009! Definitely a catchy-ass hook for “tha streets!” Here’s Dizzy on tha 1st verse, comin’ through, hittin’ “tha club wit [his] fitted and a fresh white tee;” whoot! Gotta keep all those fresh styles alive and not regular clothes! Rappers and celebrities like me ‘posed to be special, above tha normal people! Sucks that they “wanna Soulja-Slim [Nutt],” but he spittin’ some nice rhymes fa “tha streets” on tha 2nd verse! Great shit, right chea! Lots of consistency for this ’09 tracks, all about “tha streets!” Tha 3rd verse’s Muggs and they sound like a heavier-set dude, lol? Nice verse from this P.C.O. reprasenta, since they said, “P.C.O., we in tha buildin’!” LOL @ how it went silent when he said, “Bitch…bitch…bitch…,” and then, tha hook came back on; whoot!! Whoot!! My Rating: 4.7


03. We Got Love
>>> Eatin’ somethin’ in tha beginning? Sounds like a skit, though I thought it was a song… Nice lil’ skit, feelin’ in tha zone! LOL @ “Myspace;” that song was only two years old at tha time, but felt so long ago! Like, right now, this CD’s six years old, but it seems like tha same age difference as tha two years ago with “Myspace” when this mixtape dropped, lol. My Rating: N/A


04. “Bish Wazam”
! >>> Nice hook and really-nice beat, here; definitely diggin’ tha true, southern quality, here! Gotta luv tha title and tha “wazam!” Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some catchy rhymes and deliverin’ ‘em nicely! Here’s Mugsy on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some nice G-shit! LOL, “Damn, Muggs, you do more than rap;” that’s nice! It’s all about doin’ as much as you can in media! Mo from Mugsy on tha 3rd verse—okay, alternatin’ between Dizzy & Mugsy on tha 3rd verse; nice! A quick verse, but tha alternation worked! My Rating: 4.4


05. “How Ya Feel”
>>> Ooh, a “pill”-poppin’ anthem? Even “smoke dat kill?” And, “ya rounds?” Gotta luv this hook! A regular-soundin’ hook ova this catchy beat, but you gotta luv tha content!! Tha 1st verse from Muggs sounds nice! “This purple won’t get me higher;” gotta agree! Once it hits throw-up levels, you’ve basically maxed yourself out, lol! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice, as well; great job, Mugsy, fa holdin’ shit down… Now, time fa some Dizzy on tha 3rd verse: “Muthafuck how a nigga feel;” diggin’ tha aggression! Gotta luv pickin’ up hours at my job, but I hate when I can’t get overtime, at times! Like, I’m glad I’m pickin’ up more hours tomorrow, but I hate that I gotta give up one of my dayz, during tha week; I ain’t that over on hours! Only 35 a week? Damn… My Rating: 4.3


06. This Shit Right Chere
>>> A nice interlude wit shout outs… LOL, “You don’t like it? Suck unda my nuts;” nice and raw, like Dizzy provides it, lol! My Rating: N/A


07. “N2U” feat. Kangol Slim
>>> A bounce-influenced song, though I’m not diggin’ Kangol singin’ on tha hook… Hearin’ Dizzy on tha 1st verse…; it’s whateva… I mean, great for bouncin’, but that singin’ kinda pushes me away from “diggin’” this… Mugsy on tha 2nd verse, here, encounterin’ a chick…; not bad… Dizzy on tha 3rd verse, with a “pistol”-sized “dick,” lol… This verse sounds real nice ova tha beat; nice flow… My Rating: 3.2


08. “Get High”
LOL, 2009 was tha 1st year I smoked weed. However, I ain’t “get high” ‘til 2013 and last year, it mainly took off, thanx to workin’, connections, my cousins gettin’ older & my friend from NY comin’ back into my life. And, I have to say, it’s all about celebratin’!! >>> Beat intro sounds like a nice sample; I’m definitely anticipatin’ this one! Well, I shouldn’t’ve bragged too much about a sample ‘cause there’s an actual vocal sample on tha hook… Likin’ how y’all say, “We get high,” and tha sample sounds like a lil’ baby openin’ its mouth, lol? I’m weird with my feedback and I luv it… Tha 1st verse’s Mugsy and it sounds nice to hear on this beat; nice and decent… I like tha “hiiiiiiiiiigh” lil’ intense climax at 1:07, a few bars before tha 1st verse ended! Dizzy on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through with a way to “ease tha pain.” Sounds good, even though my highs are usually for my socializing, a great enhancer! LOL @ “Styles P” and his song. They had to make his song, “I get by…by…by…by…” Meanwhile, Tove Lo pulled through for tha pop world, last year, with, “You’re gone and I gotta stay high, all tha time,” lol! We’re much more accepting in this current world, now, lol! My Current Rating: 4.4
EDIT: LOL, only a 4.0 when I reviewed it, back on tha On The Inside Looking Out CD? Ain’t realize I remember this one; I “get high” now, so no wonder why my rating’s higher, lol!


09. What Would I Be Without Y’all
>>> Nice lil’ interlude! Yeah, “what would [y’all] be without [me],” FrankieThaLuckyDog? My Rating: N/A


10. “Yeah Bitch (Remix)” feat. Lil’ Wayne
>>> Nice beat… Weird hearin’ this Wayne voice and it’s weird that his voice changed ova these years… It’s always seemed like nothin’ has changed much ‘cause he neva has taken a year off… Anyway, tha hook’s catchy; “yeah, bitch!!” Dizzy, you did a nice job on tha hook and now, you shinin’ on ‘em on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit them rhymes fa a star… Here comes Wayne on tha 2nd verse… OMG, it reminds me of an ’07 Wayne, with tha voice… Tha punchlines are still nice to hear; can’t complain, here… Tha 3rd verse sounds pretty nice to hear from Dizzy, as well; good shit! Yeah, back when “we gettin’ money” was nice and innocent! I got robbed $555 in 2011 & $400 in 2013, just fa bookin’ and helpin’ bitch-made people from BR’s careers out, smfh! My Current Rating: 4.3
EDIT: Ain’t realize I reviewed this back on tha On The Inside Looking Out CD, back in ’08, on time, lol…


½time: Nice mixtape, so far, goin’ ova pretty well with me! Keep this shit up, guys; y’all consistent! A 4.2-rated CD, currently!


11. “Tear It Down (Remix)” feat. B.G.
Anotha remix, here… >>> Sounds nice wit Gizzle on tha 1st verse, ova this beat… And, forgot to mention: Mugsy sounds nice on tha hook, tearin’ “dis muthafucka down!” Speakin’ of, here he iz on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some nice mixin’, as far as tha dranks! Got mo shit from Gizzle on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through wit mo shit; not bad… Oh, and Muggs took tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse, here, reppin’ through this track…; he even “jiggalatin’,” too! Nice! Make sure y’all still on dat level ‘cause I’m just enterin’ dat kinda territory! We have 1:37 left, and do we have anotha verse? Sounds like Mugsy doin’ an outro, or a lil’ chant? Yeah, I’m likin’ this chantin’ of throwin’ “dem sets high!” Almost thought it was gon be a ward call, lol… My Rating: 4.0


12. “It’s Gonna Be Alright”
>>> A sample, here, on tha hook… Not really crazy about these kinda jointz, though I’m diggin’ this different-soundin’, throwback-kinda beat, at tha moment… Here’s Mugsy on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit catchy shit! Gotta keep “doin’ yo jizzo,” ya feel me?! Here’s Mugsy on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through fa tha “Tupac” fans, lol, as they “have [their] headphones on, listenin’ ta Tupac.” And, here’s Mugsy on tha 3rd verse: “To all my OG niggaz who been trappin’ since ’83;” props fa me figurin’ out what year you’re born in, Mugsy. You already know I’m smart wit dem birthdayz! My Rating: 3.9


13. Pussy Blockin’
>>> A skit, here… Yeah, air ‘em out! “PB & J,” and that’s “pussy blockin’,” lol… At tha time when this CD came out, I only dealt with one “pussy.” There was this DJ from Baton Rouge that I did a commercial for, that he wanted. Then, when I made mine, he made his own, and I tried to get paid for mine, but he ain’t pay me. Fuck, glad I learned my lesson, though I’m so behind in old reviewz, now, smh! Err-body betta appreciate what I do, now ‘cause I’m not really available, anymore! My Rating: N/A


14. “The Truth”
>>> Sounds like a catchy hook ova this decent beat; nice job, Dizzy! “I spit that real shit; these otha niggaz just rappin’!” Ain’t that tha truth? Gotta luv when I “spit that real shit” when it comes ta my music, too! Here’s Dizzy on tha 1st verse, comin’ through, findin’ a way ta make himself “smile;” gotta find a way! “Got tha word, ‘Gangsta,’ on my left hand;” nice… Tha 2nd verse from Dizzy’s soundin’ nice, too, and I can agree wit him, here: “I was lookin’ for some bullshit to get into!” Even though it wasn’t trouble-related, “I was” gettin’ myself into “some bullshit,” back then, when I was doin’ niggaz a favor by doin’ commercials fa free! I mean, look at what I fuckin’ did to myself! I should’ve charged dem bitches ‘cause they all was fake and I made myself post-pone my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon due to makin’ so many commercials! I wish I wasn’t like dat, but I learned tha hard way! It’s a neva-endin’ grind!! Here we are wit Dizzy, once again, on tha 3rd verse; almost gettin’ y’all voices confused, fa a second, but I got it… Props fa feedin’ your “family,” Dizzy! My Rating: 4.1


15. “Ignant” feat. Skip
>>> This beat sounds catchier; let’s see what we got goin’ on, here… Tha hook sounds pretty catchy with this title; nice job, Muggs! It sounds like a catchy club banga… Hearin’ him on tha 1st verse and it sounds like he livin’ large; sounds good ta hear… Mo Muggs on tha 2nd verse, here—guess no Dizzy, now, lol? Y’all alternatin’!—and it sounds good, still… Yeah! Skip on tha 3rd verse, here, and his “two words” are, “Fuck off!!” Yeah!! Sounds nice with his aggression in his voice, on this verse! Nice appearance; sounds nice on this beat! My Rating: 4.2


16. Ain’t No Love
>>> Nice skit, but yeah, I wish I “ain’t [have] no love,” back in ’09! I was dick-suckin’ too many rappers’ dicks and shit, back then! Wish I would’ve been more self-centered like they dumb asses! My Rating: N/A


17. “Killa” feat. Teco
>>> A nice beat start, here; diggin’ tha laidback vibe in tha instruments… Tha hook sounds pretty catchy wit tha singin’, this time, unlike tha Kangol one; nice job, Teco! Here we go wit Dizzy on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some nice shit ta spit ova this beat; nice rhymes… Here’s Mugsy on tha 2nd verse, and he sounds nice on this shit, wit his choppaz! Even a singin’ 3rd verse from Teco, here, rap-sung… Verse? Maybe, I’ll consider it a bridge, since it was pretty quick? And, a lil’ endin’ from Teco, too, singin’ tha way through… My Rating: 4.3


18. “Like A Muhphukka”
Luvin’ tha spelling! >>> Nice beat start from Sinista, here; let’s see how this gon turn out… Anthemic wit tha beat, now that I hear tha hook from Dizzy! Yeah, “like a muhphukka!!” Luv daht spelling, 1ce agayne!! Tha 1st verse from Dizzy’s nice, too; nice and quick, here! Here Dizzy continues dat hot shit on tha 2nd verse… Diggin’ tha rhymes, once again, Diz, you Raw D.I., lol! Mo shit from Dizzy on tha 3rd verse, here, and since it’s all him, this title’s remindin’ me that I’ve heard this before? Actually, no, but I see other songs on here I’ve heard before, lol! My Rating: 4.6


19. Skrate Up On The Get Down
>>> Nice lil’ outro, here; props fa takin’ me down this Luv 4 Da Streets journey, lol… My Rating: N/A


20. “Pump My Fist” feat. Stevie Drumma
>>> Diggin’ tha hook, here, includin’ how tha beat sounds wit y’all on tha hook, pumpin’ y’all’s “fist!” Tha 1st verse from Mugsy sounds nice ta hear; good shit! “So, nigga, roll da weed up;” yeah! Here’s Dizzy on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some catchy shit… Almost reminds me of Trillville & “Neva Eva” wit, “Look at my neck, look at my wrist,” wit tha way you delivered it! Great flashback and wow, that song was only six years old at tha time of tha release of this mixtape. And now, this mixtape’s six years old, today, lol… Here’s tha both of y’all on tha 3rd verse, alternatin’ back and forth like catchy muhphukkaz, lol!! “Stevie Drumma,” huh? Oh, makes sense; I believe he’s on tha hook, uncredited! Yeah, that voice reminds me of “Sit Still,” so yeah! Those were great times! My Rating: 4.4


Overall: Nice mixtape, y’all! Y’all kept it consistent wit some hot, quality-soundin’ street shit fa tha 504! Keep up tha great work, y’all! And, Dizzy, I got anotha flashback review ta do fa you in a few! It from 2013; not as old as this one, ya dig?

Review #920: Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I. "The Raw Report"

Reviewed on 3.29.2011 (Review #920)




Comin’ up next, for my 2nd review, it’s my boy Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I., formerly wit Young Money Entertainment (still wit P.C.O. Entertainment, I believe), “The Raw Report”; lookin’ forward!! LOL, tha last time I reviewed you was 806 reviewz ago; damn!! It was “On The Inside Looking Out”, which you liked/responded to dat review! Start Time: 7:44 AM | End Time: 8:20 AM



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.

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): http://www.datpiff.com/Dizzy-aka-Raw-DI-The-Raw-Report-mixtape.200046.html


01. “The Inspiration”
Streetkings Music doin’ tha production, here; let’s see how good it iz… >>> Tha production’s nice and tha rhymes/punchlines are definitely on ‘n’ poppin’, right now! Definitely feelin’ what you got, here; good New Orleans-type Rap music! Tha hook’s nice, too; you’re definitely an “inspiration” wit dis shit! My Rating: 4.3


02. “Quit Hatin’” Feat. DJ Drama & Kidd Kidd
Stevie Drumma doin’ tha beat!! Guess I betta “sit still”, then, lol, and listen? Also, DJ Drama re-added tha “DJ” in his name, lol? >>> Good intro from Drama and pretty-good beat from Stevie, although I’m not too crazy about, I think, Drake’s voice randomly appearin’ on tha hook? Either way, definitely nice, regardless, ya dig? You’re on tha 1st verse and it sounds nice; I like tha “finish him” part, referrin’ ta “Mortal Kombat”? Good shit; glad you consistent! Tha 2nd verse from you’s soundin’ real good, too; keep dat attitude up!! Kidd Kidd’s on tha 3rd verse and I guess ‘cause it’s your CD, he’s more serious, thank God! Thumbs up fa his contributions, here! My Rating: 4.2


03. “What?”
Ooh, anotha Stevie Drumma beat; y’all got dat chemistry!! >>> This sounds anticipatin’ wit tha beat start; ooh, tha hook’s definitely tight!! Tha “’round this biiiiiiiiiitch” part reminded me of tha late Nu$$ie; good shit wit tha hook! Tha 1st verse, already, iz off to a tight start!! Definitely feelin’ your attitude, especially when you say, “not wit Young Money;” that sucks that you’re not wit them, anymore! I guess it’s tha underrated people like you that I care about tha most—it’s always been like dat in my 22 years of livin’, ya dig? Tha 2nd verse iz also good wit tha attitude; damn, you got shit on lock, here! My Rating: 4.5


04. “War” Feat. Lil’ Wayne
Anotha one wit Stevie Drumma on tha beat! I guess this was durin’ tha Young Money Ent. times? Lookin’ forward ta hear, regardless of tha feature! >>> Interestin’, anticipatin’ intro; have I heard dis before? Tha hook’s definitely hot! Damn, you got some angry rhymes, here; big thumbs up!! Wayne’s on tha 2nd verse and I guess it must be a lil’ older than ‘11/some of ’10 ‘cause he sounds a lil’ tight wit tha rhymes, unlike now. As this tight song continues ta progress, you’re on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit tha consistent, tight rhymes, again!! I like tha “bought a KISS album” line about “heavy metal;” dumb shit from Dizzy!! My Rating: 4.4


05. “We Was Just F’n”
LOL @ this title; lookin’ forward ta hearin’ dis wit Sso on tha beat! >>> Production sounds a lil’ different and somewhat-anticipatin’ in tha beginning… Ehh, slowly losin’ interest in tha beat but your rhymes are pretty-good. Uh, Dizzy, what’s up wit tha gay-soundin’ background vocals? Tha hook’s aight; A-Tune part in tha hook? Thank God it’s only tha title ‘cause it works as far as that; that’s as far as it can go! LOL, might be likin’ this more throughout tha 2nd verse, as you start it off wit “we fuckin’ like animals,” rofl! Thumbs up fa keepin’ shit entertainin’! My Rating: 3.7


06. “I Hustle” Feat. Russell Lee
Both Russell Lee & Mannie Fresh are on this beat, together; Max Minelli’s Russell Lee? Has ta be, so I’m lookin’ forward! >>> Tha beat’s not bad and tha hook sounds smooth fa a “hustle”-type song. You’re on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit a smooth, nice “hustle”, here; thumbs up, Dizz-to-tha-y, lol. You’re on tha 2nd verse, too, comin’ through wit some of dat real “hustle”-type shit, once again! My Rating: 3.7


07. “Stupid”
Ooh, Sinista on tha beat? I should like dis one, lol! >>> Yea, on a Baton Rouge/Louisiana-type style! Thumbs up fa tha hot, Dizzy-soundin’ production and tha tight hook! Glad you’re in a fun mood, here, comin’ through wit your collection of tight shit! Goin’ ta “BR” ta “spend time wit (your) cousins”? Thumbs up, since you can get “BR” in ya blood! I’m really likin’ this flow you got goin’ on; definitely catchy!! You even keepin’ tha 2nd verse goin’, too! A lil’ shorter, it seemed like, but there’s room fa anotha verse! Tha 3rd verse sounds tight, especially wit tha “puffin’ on dis…” part; gotta luv dat smoke! My Rating: 4.4


½time: A 4.2-rated CD, currently; you always seem ta impress me, Dizzy! Keep shit up; lookin’ forward to tha rest!!


08. How Shit Happens (Skit)
You produced dis, lol? >>> LOL, sounds like a phone call, off top. Tha volume’s a lil’ low, here; ooh, sounds interestin’ fa a skit! LOL, tha volume got normal ‘round :43 and tha content got raw! No wonder why “raw” iz in your name! My Rating: N/A


09. “M.O.B. Shit”
Yes, anotha Sinista production; how will y’all do dis time? >>> Tha beat’s definitely nice, here, fa tha 504 perspective; nice beginning/hook you got, here! Good shit you got goin’ on wit tha 1st verse; you on yo “shit,” lol! Tha rhymes are consistent; thumbs up fa all dis… My Rating: 4.1


10. “Break It Off” Feat. Mannie Fresh, Cupid, Mugsy & The Show
Large lineup, here, wit Sinista on tha beat! I have a feelin’ dis gon be either tight as hell or a lil’ too mainstream? >>> Ehh, it’s more on tha mainstream side, especially wit dat Cupid on tha hook… Damn, The Show on tha 1st verse but last on tha ID? Should put him further in tha ID but I’ll leave it tha way it iz ‘cause I’m sure you’re good at havin’ tracklistings made. Anyway, thumbs up fa Show; sounded good/pretty-good. You’re on tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse, spittin’ some good shit, too. LOL, Mannie Fresh’s on tha 2nd verse, soundin’ a lil’ catchy wit what he spittin’… Mugsy’s hoppin’ onta tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse, spittin’ good shit, too. LOL, I think all y’all got tha same grade from me wit tha verses; I may think Show had tha best one if I had ta break a tiebreaker, though. My Rating: 3.5


11. “Me” Feat. Mannie Fresh, Mugsy & The Show
LOL, minus Cupid, lol? I guess this should be easily tighter for me, includin’ a production from this Jus10 dude? >>> Ooh, hot intro dat reminds me of Da Goonz “No Swagg”’s hot intro/beat! Shit yea, Mannie Fresh’s on tha hook and it’s definitely nice; thumbs up ta dis, especially dat beat keepin’ thangz on-‘n’-poppin’! ROFL @ Mugsy on tha 1st verse; finally, tha ID’s in tha correct order! Definitely entertainin’ shit he’s got goin’ on; keep this shit up!! Here’s tha 2nd verse, comin’ from tight-ass Show, doin’ tha damn thang, once again!! You’re on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit a focused mind; definitely feelin’ it, Dizzy, ya heard me? My Rating: 4.5


12. “I Can See”
Wil Da Great on tha beat, here, which looks a lil’ different wit one “L” in tha name, lol? I guess that means he’ll get less blunts (“L”s), lol? LOL, just playin’! >>> Not sure what ta think about tha beginning… Sounds like a decent song fa a start but your rhymes are definitely nice! My Rating: 3.8


13. “Don’t Stop” Feat. Kidd Kidd, RidaGang Ro & Boogie Fresh
Damn, lots of anticipatin’ people, here, wit Raj Smoove on tha beat? What could I expect outta dis bonus track? >>> Damn, tha vibe iz hella tight wit tha fast-paced sound; thumbs up fa tha rhymes, too! Tha hook’s catchy, too; glad you got this uptempo vibe ta you, too, Dizzy! I like tha verse about tha “popped two Viagra pillz;” dumb shit!! Tha rest of this shit’s definitely nice; glad you even contributin’ a verse, Dizzy!! My Rating: 4.7


14. “Switch” Feat. Slums & K-Izzy
Suga Bear on tha beat? That’s a different name…; let’s see what’s up wit dis one! >>> Tha 1st verse sounds like Show, lol? Guess they must be his relative or somethin’, lol; good, interestin’ rhymes, survivin’ tha “hurricane!” SMH, what was up wit dat random A-Tune part? Hope that’s not what I’m expectin’ later on in tha song; you gotta prove ‘em wrong, Dizzy!! You’re on tha 2nd verse, luckily, and shit, they tried ta “lock (you) up ‘cause of a blunt”? Damn, how shitty, not Dizzy, lol! Thumbs up fa doin’ a nice job on dis track, ya dig? Should I hear tha 3rd verse? Oh, at least it’s a normal voice but I hate, hate, hate, hate that cliché, stupid-ass “Turn My Swag On” starting line!! This also sounds like anotha relative of Show, lol? Good rhymes, overall! My Rating: 4.2


15. “Football” Feat. Mannie Fresh
LOL, everyone’s favorite topic on tha title, rofl! Streetkings Music on tha beat; I should look forward, surprisingly!! >>> Tha beat’s definitely nice; I’m slowly gettin’ interested and anticipated!! Oh, fuck!! Curse of tha A-Tune thing I said previously; I thought you were too smart fa dis, Dizzy? Damn, even tha 1st verse, too? I do think this iz catchy, especially tha hook; you don’t sound that bad wit tha A-Tune, luckily, so I won’t be too harsh on you! SMDH, even Mannie Fresh has it, too? Now he’s a no-no wit dat shit! Damn, this song’s rating’s gonna go downhill when I was wantin’ it ta be up there!! My Rating: 3.9 (I guess tha catchy hook and funny Dizzy kept tha rating up)


Overall: Of course, you know I felt this CD, Dizzy!! Glad you have your special producers, good features, and your P.C.O. perspective, still, Dizzy!! You know I fucks wit ya, ya dig? I gotta find your Facebook page and show you this review ‘cause I’m barely on MySpace anymore, which was how I showed you tha previous one. If all else fails, keep doin’ tha damn thang!! Actually, just found you on Facebook. I gon post tha review on your wall when you approve my friend request. But, due to people wit a lack of business and a documentary for class, I’m not checkin’ anything ‘til April 26.

01. Mayham “Duffy (Part 2)”
LOL, where’s Part 1? BTW, iz this tha same 985 Mayham from Lil’ Ganggsta’s “Da General Vol. 1” and dat “My Shit Don’t Stink” song? >>> Didn’t recognize tha beat tag but let’s see what happens wit dis nice beat… It’s been a while since I heard tha voice but I assume it’s him. I like what he spittin’, here; sounds like he enjoyin’ dis shit to tha fullest. Nice job wit tha consistent rhymin’… My Rating: 4.2


02. Lil’ One Da Ryder Feat. T Mck, Shell & Lee Banks “Rambo (Remix)”
Looks like it finna be a tight remix… >>> Soundin’ good, as usual; hope ta hear tha features go off, too! Nice job, tha way Lil’ One’s comin’ through on dis shit, like tha original. Shell’s soundin’ hella catchy on dis, too; thumbs, or should I say, dumbs up, lol! Lee Banks not in R&B mood, here? Finally, some hot shit from him and it’s soundin’ gangsta…; thumbs up! My Rating: 4.4


03. Mugsy Feat. Dizzy “Can’t Get Enough”
Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I.? Let’s hear dis. >>> I like how dis sounds; nice job wit tha hook. Mugsy sounds like he has a shitload of consistency wit these rhymes ova dis beat; thumbs up! LOL, it iz Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I. on tha feature; definite thumbs up!! Always representin’ hard, comin’ through wit tha tightness! My Rating: 4.3


04. 2ooley Feat. Lil’ One & C Dash “Hercules”
ROFL!! This made it!! LOL @ tha “C” missin’ in tha title! This sounds catchy; tha hook’s on ‘n’ poppin’! Iz dis Lil’ One Da Ryder on tha feature? Nice job wit tha collaboration; mega-catchy wit dat hook and tha “Hercules,” lol! My Current Rating: 4.4


05. Staxx “I Am Staxx”
Who iz dis dude and why iz he named afta money? >>> Feelin’ tha legendary, Louisiana sound in tha beat intro! Fuck! Tha hook really spoiled what I was lookin’ for; looks like dis iz an instant ignore and although I wanna care less about dis, tha verse are more normal… My Rating: 3.0


06. Choppa “Walk Witcha”
Ooh, a new Choppa song! >>> Definitely sounds like dat tightness, as always, from him; hope I meet him one day, or betta yet, talk ta him soon! Feelin’ tha consistent shit he offerin’, lol; always trust what he brings ta tha table!! My Rating: 4.4


07. T.R.P. Fam Gang “$ Over Everything”
They look like they’re affiliated wit Lil’ One Da Ryder? >>> I heard dis somewhere but cannot remember where and when tha hell it was. Anyway, catchy hook, if it’s real. I like tha rhymes, here; feelin’ tha way they deliver shit, here! My Rating: 3.7


08. Level Feat. Mz. Trill & Mouse On Tha Track “Dumb Dick (Remix)”
It’s “Trill”, not “Thrill” and it’s “Tha”, not “The”. Thought I heard dis, but I neva did? >>> Guess Mouse adds dat flava; still sounds tha same but added flava from Mouse! My Rating: 4.8


½time: A 4.2-rated CD, currently; thumbs up!


09. Roach Feat. Lil’ One Da Ryder “Gucci”
>>> Thought I heard dis before? I guess it’s just tha Vybe beat. Anyway, thumbs up ta how dis sounds, regardless. Catchy rhymes and a tight hook! My Rating: 4.2


10. Callion Feat. Lil’ One Da Ryder “Rocking With Callion”
>>> Skippin’ this; not worth my time!! My Rating: 1.0


11. Trelly “Wam”
>>> Thought I was gonna hear “tits” in tha beginning; lol @ vs. over “hips”… Had a lil’ insecurity over this new artist afta tha previous song but this iz somewhat-catchy… My Rating: 3.7


12. Delwin The Krazyman Feat. Ceddybu, Level, Young Ready & Lil’ One Da Ryder “Shut Dis Bitch Down (Remix)”
LOL, dis again. Err-body doin’ tha damn thang, once again! My Current Rating: 4.2


13. Lee Banks “My People (Remix)”
You put tha artist twice on tha back cover, lol? >>> Still sounds good wit dat J Buc-produced Webbie “My People” beat! I dunno what ta say; consistent… My Rating: 4.0


14. U.V. Boyz “Pop Too Many Pills”
SMH, you don’t know how ta spell “too” in an amount? SMH, learn how ta spell! My anticipation went a lil’ lower ‘cause of dat but I gon see what happens… >>> Tha production sounds good and this sounds like it gon be a good joint, overall. Tha hook’s pretty nice; who are these dudes? Funny how someone wit no songs can come through wit dis outta nowhere, and you don’t even have a background on who they are! My Rating: 4.4


15. Joe Digga “Dreams”
Not sure why I don’t know who dis iz… or do I? >>> What’s up wit tha slow beat? Finally, an organ came. This iz takin’ too long ta grab my interest… Okay, finally, some good rappin’ throughout tha verses but why tha background vocals? :confused Hook’s a lil’ weird wit tha singin’; I thought songs dat go hard don’t have singin’ like dis? My Rating: 3.1


16. DJ 3127 “Outro”
Endin’ it wit both an outro and skit (guess tha skit’s #17?). >>> Thumbs up fa shoutin’ out “2ooley” and his “Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-2ooley;” fuckin’ luv dat and I fuck wit him heavy, too! “Choppa,” too! “Mayham;” thumbs up ta him. Good job wit dis outro ova dis beat. My Rating: N/A


17. Skit
>>> Dis sounds more like an outro when it comes ta random peoples’ mixtapes but iz more of a “skit”, here, since you claimed tha “outro” was on #16. My Rating: N/A


Overall: Glad you brought some newbies and some tight, unexpected people on here, 3127! Turned out ta be good and not your typical artists that appear so many times on peoples’ mixtape compilations!

© 2011 CD Review (Review #866) reviewed on 3.10.2011 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Intro (DJ Spike) / “A U So Fly”
>>> A.K.A. DJ 3127. Tha production sounds pretty nice, here, kinda on tha Trill-soundin’ tip; I guess you got a connection? Good shit… and tha rappin’ sounds catchy, too! My Rating: 4.2


02. “Fresh N Thuggin’ (Remix)” Feat. Callion, Mugsy & Nutt Da Kidd
>>> “A Wodie beat;” iz dat Wodieson? Ugh, what’s up wit tha hook? Don’t need ta mix singin’ wit “thuggin’,” smh. This ain’t bad; nothin’ special, either. Tha 2nd verse sounds a lot better… Tha 3rd verse sounds a lil’ wack… My Rating: 3.2


03. Skit
>>> Yup. My Rating: N/A


04. “Rollin’ Like A Hemi” Feat. K.L. & Young Slugga
>>> A lil’ betta than tha previous song but I think I like “A U So Fly” betta. One of tha features iz on tha 1st verse; 50/50 wit how it sounds… Tha 2nd verse iz aight, too; lol @ tha limited vocabulary/topics… Tha 3rd verse iz Young Slugga, soundin’ betta; gotta feel those “rollin’” rhymes! My Rating: 3.8


05. “On Dat Level”
>>> Pretty-good for a song like dis; tha hook sounds betta than what I expected from tha intro. Tha rhymes ain’t too bad; I guess you holdin’ tha beat down? My Rating: 3.9


06. Skit (DJ Spike)
>>> Oh no… My Rating: N/A


07. “Put It On Me” Feat. B Streezy, Hizzle, City Boi, Remi & K.L.
Not really lookin’ forward… >>> Do I have ta deal wit dis? Not in this generation!! Not even listenin’ to tha whole thing—betta yet, scrolling through! My Rating: 2.0


08. “I Can’t Slow Down” Feat. Pimp Lee
>>> Almost sounded like a gay hook but it ain’t bad wit tha content, overall. ROFL @ these “Pimp C” rhymes; what even makes you think of “leanin’” in tha 1st place? My Rating: 3.6


09. “100% Real” Feat. Snipe
Have I heard before? >>> Prolly not ‘cause of how this starts and iz only decent. Okay shit from you on tha 1st verse but nothin’ iz grabbin’ me… Tha hook sounds pretty-good, here; gotta keep it “real,” if dat’s tha case for you… Must be Snipe on tha 2nd verse; I can hear tha catchy flow and it’s a plus. My Rating: 3.7


10. “Rambo” Feat. C Dash & Baby Boy
>>> Good/decent for a song like dis… LOL @ tha random Baby Boy Da Prince collaboration! Someone dat’s been hibernatin’ for a mainstream artist… My Rating: 3.8


11. “Everyday” Feat. Hizzle
>>> Tha production stepped up, here; hope it doesn’t get ruined… Tha hook’s only a lil’ on tha decent side ‘til tha 2nd ½ of it wit tha repeatin’ of “everday, I…” Glad this has a catch to it; how do you manage ta do some of dis shit “everyday”? Can’t even do some of dis shit every year… Thumbs up fa havin’ Hizzle on this; he holdin’ down his verse wit tha quickness! My Rating: 4.1


12. “$ Make The World Go Round” Feat. Magnolia Chop
Looks like a song I wouldn’t anticipate but if Magnolia Chop’s on it, then, I guess I gotta like it… a lil’ bit. >>> Yea, it sounds catchy although tha “make it rain” shit kinda spoils it fa me. Tha rhymes are a lil’ cocky/gay, at most times, so this ain’t too special fa me… My Rating: 3.5


½time: A 3.6-rated CD, currently.


13. “Come Over” Feat. B Streezy
>>> Shit, anotha gay-soundin’ song fa me. My Rating: 1.8


14. Skit
>>> A lil’ longer, here… Not bad… My Rating: N/A


15. “Play Wit Me”
>>> Sounds good fa tha beat, once again. Again, dis has dat Trill sound to it and sounds pretty nice fa tha hook! Tha content iz aight; prolly would’ve expected a touch betta wit tha rhymes… My Rating: 4.0


16. Skit
>>> I dunno why but when there’s a skit to introduce tha next song, I feel less-anticipated, regardless if it’s you on tha skit. My Rating: N/A


17. “So Many PPL Love Me”
Let’s see if I was right… >>> Not as bad as somethin’ like #13 although tha beat’s a lil’ too smooth/soft fa me, especially when it mixes wit this “thuggin’” shit? Uh… not tha kinda street shit I grew up wit. At least tha lyrics and rhymes are betta… My Rating: 3.4


18. “All I Want Is $”
Uh oh… >>> Thanx for tha label info: Wide Open Entertainment. Anyway, sounds like a trap anthem, so I’ll accept dis, regardless of this typical content. My Rating: 3.7


19. Skit
>>> Anotha skit from you. A jail anthem we got next? I might like dis… My Rating: N/A


20. “Penitentiary Chances” Feat. Stirgus
Hope I was right… >>> Tha beat sounds good until some of tha singin’ came outta nowhere, smh. It’s not too bad but why you need tha singin’? Insecure feelings? Likin’ tha rhymes, so I’ll rate this a lil’ higher than some of tha shit on here… Could turn out ta be a pretty-good song, overall? My Rating: 4.0


21. “Think It Ova”
>>> Bad start; why a fade-in? What eva made dat cool outta nowhere? :confused Rhymes are pretty shitty, here and there; sounds more like a freestyle ta me? LOL, no hook? Guess I was right. My Rating: 3.1


22. “My Baby” Feat. Blaze
>>> Anotha gay-soundin’, soft-soundin’ song/beat fa me? My Rating: 1.9


23. “Fresher Than I’ve Ever Been” Feat. Stirgus, Roach & Young Slugga
>>> Sounds trapish; let’s see what happens… Damn, tha hook ruined it fa me!! What a bad way ta end dis mixtape!! I don’t even care about most of tha rhymes, even though they’re aight… My Rating: 2.1


24. “Hot Topic”
Bonus song, ‘cause it’s not on tha back cover? >>> At least this iz betta than tha shit on here; feelin’ it, even though I hate dat stupid-ass “swag” word!!! “I got … up on tha track;” thought I heard you say producer Boo fa a second; would’ve been anticipatin’ if it was dat case. Overall, a lil’ catchy… My Rating: 3.7


Overall: Why was tha front cover a lil’ small? Anyway, decent, overall. Some of tha songs on here brought tha CD to near-below-average fa me.
