Review #1,432: KarlWayne "2 Years Later"

Reviewed on 1.31.2015 (Review #1,432)

Got one more review b4 this month ends… I have to say, with tha reviewz I’ve been doin’ lately, there hasn’t been that many. Not only do I work a full-time job, but at tha same time, nobody fucks wit me, anymore. I mean, I’m super busy, but for those that say they fuck wit me, and I don’t get their music, it’s like, really? To me, that’s not defining true value of your product and you definitely don’t value me, whatsoever! So, lemme take it to an artist that values me. He sent me his CD on Facebook as soon as it came out, like a real artist from Louisiana should! I first heard him back on April 28, 2009, on fellow Gardererz, Yung Yola & D.$.G.’s 99 Wayz 2 Grind CD, back when he was known as K.O.. He was locked up at tha time and I would communicate with him while he was in jail. I used to manage his MySpace page, back when that was poppin’… Sponsored by Street Certified Muzic, here goes my review for KarlWayne 2 Years Later, and yes, it’s two years after he got outta jail, already! Oh, and, what’s tha “591799” on tha back cover? Start Time: 7:38 PM | End Time: 9:00 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. Intro

Let’s see how we gon start this thang off… >>> Straight out tha jail cells… Live broadcast from tha pen? Quiet and anticipating! Tha clashing of tha cell doors remind me of tha Kings Park Psychiatric Center I visit on Long Island, NY, where you mysteriously hear tha doors clash! Yes, it’s haunted by ghosts! I have yet to get audio and witness a scream there, lol! My Rating: N/A

02. “How That Go”

Wonder what this gon be like, produced by Ruffin? >>> Hearin’ tha beginning beat sound and it’s soundin’ like those dayz when I used to always listen to Louisiana rap, lol… Beat’s definitely pure and on a Baton Rouge level; gotta feel it! Also, you’re doin’ a nice job wit tha hook; fuckin’ catchy, especially wit tha title repeatin’! Oh, seems like years ago when I was crazy about Baton Rouge and all dat, lol! Here you are on tha 1^st verse and it sounds nice; I like how you say, “KarlWayne,” on tha adlib, twice! Gangsta shit, here; glad you got this quality and you know I had ta take tha time out ta review it, despite workin’ today and tomorrow, 4 – 11 AM! Here’s tha 2^nd verse and you still bringin’ dat gangsta shit to tha table; nice! Diggin’ your aggressive attitude, here, as well; keep it goin’! Ooh @ tha beat stoppin’ @ 2:24 and you slaughterin’ tha beat; nice! My Rating: 4.8

03. “Rap Sheet”

Likin’ these titles, already! This one’s produced by TTyme; stylized like dat? Neva heard of ‘em… >>> Oh, so that’s your “DOC number;” I see… Beat sounds pretty nice; anotha pure-soundin’ track, once again! And, tha hook’s pretty nice, as well; thumbs up fa comin’ through wit an analysis of your “rap sheet!” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and I gotta dig how you cuttin’ ‘em, if they cross ya! Hope ya do dat fa me if I need a favor, ya dig? Consistent shit fa Baton Rouge; diggin’ dat sound you bringin’ to tha streetz of Gardere Lane! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too, strictly slaughterin’ ‘em wit dat gangsta shit, once again! My Rating: 4.5

04. “My Own” feat. Kam

A newbie with them producin’ tha track as well! I’m sure it bangz!! >>> Luv how your intros take a few seconds of quietness and then, they slam wit dat pureness! Hearin’ tha beat intro and it’s nice and quiet, here, wit a spooky, Baton Rouge-soundin’ start! Sounds like it’s tha ‘90s, undaground, Louisiana rap, here, wit this beat intro… Afta :49, we have tha hook: Kam iz a singer, here, and it’s soundin’ nice; I can dig it… Like I said, I feel like it’s tha ‘90s with Skull Duggrey or somethin’, wit how this sounds…! Now, here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some nice rhymes, tryna get outta dat jail cell; I feel ya! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good; I’m diggin’ what you’re spittin’, here… Just try not ta get caught up too much in sendin’ R.I.P. shout outs, though; gotta keep it movin’… No 3^rd verse, here; just a nice, long outro with Kam randomly singin’ notes and tha beat jammin’ nicely… My Rating: 4.4

05. “I Got It” feat. Menace & Gage

Neva heard of these dudes, luckily… Iz that you on tha production (listed as K.O., your former stage name)? Whateva this iz, I’m definitely anticipatin’ all tha unknown, though 5:30 on tha length? Can you pull through? >>> Definitely likin’ tha beat, here; catchy keys! Nice gangsta shit on tha hook, as you have “this tooley;” nice! Definitely diggin’ tha 2^nd ½ of tha hook when you repeat tha title, with this beat pumpin’ in ya veins! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it sounds nice; diggin’ you and your consistent gangsta shit, as always! Hearin’ tha Menace dude on tha 2^nd verse and it sounds like dat great shit from Baton Rouge/G-Lane dat I would luv, on a first listen! Nice shit; gotta luv tha hood of BR at all times! I don’t care who you iz; I got luv fa ya! Wit dat bein’ said, dat Menace dude go hard! Hope he goes far and hope we connect in tha future, on a serious note! Like, business-wise! Here comes Gage on tha 3^rd verse, with a perfect way ta start tha verse off wit dis gun shit! His name says it all, so he here ta stay in tha hood! Nice reppin’ fa dem “treyz!” Catchy voice fa dis gangsta and I’m diggin’ how he has hunger and aggression in his voice; go, Gage! I do have ta say, fa 5:30 on tha length, this was nowhere near boring!! Y’all definitely held it down!! My Rating: 4.6

06. “EDDU” feat. J-Bae Bay-Bae

Not sure if I stylized his name right, but on DatPiff, this iz accidentally #7; I’m goin’ wit tha back cover for everything… “Jay Bae Bay” iz how he’s stylized on tha filename, but I’m goin’ wit tha back cover… Anyway, should be real nice wit Ruffin on tha beat! Think this tha 1^st official song I’ve heard wit “EDDU” in tha title? Definitely lookin’ forward but before I get into it, lol, I can just imagine tha people up here, if they hear me say dat; they’d be so shocked, lol! I’m a Shift Leader and a Music Leader; they won’t catch on for years! I mean, we’re already years into EDDU, too! >>> I like tha lil’ talkin’ in tha beginning wit your Baton Rouge-born voice and shit; nice… Tha beat’s definitely pure, once again! LOL, what a hook; gotta feel it! Thought it was more of a threat, but it’s more of a sexual thang, here! Gotta luv how you repeat tha 2^nd ½ of tha hook wit tha title; gotta keep goin’ and goin’ and goin’ and goin’ and goin’, lol!! Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some nice shit, just engagin’ in dem X-rated activities! Sounds nice on this beat; I’ll keep followin’ you! You don’t need 100,000 followers; you’re fine tha way you are, right now, as far as your status! Hearin’ this Jay dude on tha 2^nd verse and he sounds good; catchy voice and yeah, he said it: “JayDae Baby!” LOL, tha 3^rd hook ain’t do tha repeatin’, but had Jay go, “Eat up…! Eat up…!” ROFL @ you at tha end, in your regular, calm voice: “Aight… Aight…” My Rating: 4.4

07. “Ain’t Coming Down” feat. Vicboi

B-Mayne (dash or no dash?) on tha beat, here, with a nice-lookin’ collab ta anticipate! >>> Definitely purer than pure wit tha beat start, here; gotta anticipate it!! Gotta luv how there’s Baton Rouge injected in tha beat at all times!! It’s like a heavy dose!! Wit dat bein’ said, we have a nice hook from Karl, here; sounds catchy! Vicboi on tha 1^st verse and he’s doin’ a nice job wit tha rappin’, here; just luv dat southern style in his voice! Here you are on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit dat shit we gotta hear! Glad you always keep it G, and I must admit, seven songs in, and I’m so glad you’re not braggin’ about money or any of dat bullshit! So glad fa dat!! No wonder why I’m enjoyin’ this review so much!! Ooh @ 2:35; luv how tha beat just stopped fa a sec. and you continued on! My Rating: 4.4

08. “Iron” feat. Needy Nee

Accidentally #11 on tha DatPiff tracklisting… Anyway, Ruffin doin’ tha beat, this time, and I’m anticipatin’ this one! Prolly a G-Lane G song wit tha beat slammin’ in ya in an addictive way!! >>> Dat Baton Rouge quality in tha beat dat I luv; nice job, once again, Ruffin!! Future producer; just don’t sell out!! Ooh, much catchier than I thought this was gon be!! Just luv when you repeat tha title on tha 2^nd ½ of tha hook; that’s tha key fa a catchy-ass Baton Rouge song!! Fuck, your CD jammin’ soooooooooo hard!!! And, we got Needy on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some gutta shit fa this G-Lane! Now, she’s entered her 30’s, keepin’ it goin’! Can’t believe she was only 24 when I first heard her; where’d tha time go? Here you are on tha 2^nd verse and you got this G-shit goin’ on, non-stop! Great job wit tha verse, but that fuckin’ hook’s soooooooooooooooo addiiiiiiiiiictiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!!! Just luv dat 2^nd ½ of it!!! My Rating: 4.9

½time: Whoo, this CD’s too jammin’!!! Just really luv how you bring your A-game at all times, here!! Tha production iz so on an A+ level; A++!!! Almost all of your features I’ve neva heard before, and all dem dudes go hard!!! And, most importantly, you got some tight-ass verses, as well as some addictive, catchy-ass hooks!!! Keep it up, bruh! You’re at a hot 4.6 for tha CD rating, currently; pure rating!!!

09. “So Dumb” feat. Vicboi & Needy Nee

Again, it says that K.O. produced tha track… Either way, I’m anticipatin’ this collab, as well! >>> Sounds like a Baton Rouge hood anthem; gotta rep fa dem hoodz! Might’ve remembered this from a sample you might’ve given me, at times, last year; nice shit! Tha hook’s catchy wit this beat; gotta luv how you holdin’ G-Lane down to tha fullest! This gotta be tha hottest CD of 2015; props fa startin’ tha year off real nice!!! Here you are on tha 1^st verse and you’re comin’ through wit some catchy shit; you’re real sick wit it, makin’ me nod my head non-stop! Keepin’ this shit goin’ wit Vicboi on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some catchy shit! Dat voice definitely holds tha hoods of Gardere down!! “I really do my shit;” always! And yea, “Ain’t no pussy in dat click,” when it comes to dat Lane! I mean, there’s only two that are pussy ta me. One’s all stuck-up, stubborn and afraid of BPMs, while there’s anotha one who randomly deleted me and unfollowed me from Facebook, Twitter & Instagram all ‘cause I sent them their awards. It’s like, really? Can’t get any mo “pussy” than dat!! Back to tha positive, here: Needy on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through, consistently rippin’ up tha track on this beat!! Wow, neva stoppin’ anytime soon!! Wow, she just keeps goin’ and goin’ and goin’!! That was definitely a nice and consistent verse!!! My Current Rating: 4.7

EDIT: Forgot I reviewed this on tha I Love My Hood mixtape…

10. “Ride Or Die”

I have ta say, my back’s killin’ me while I’m doin’ this review. However, tha music’s too tight to where I continue without stoppin’! This next one’s produced by C Nile; can’t wait ta hear it!! >>> A fade-in intro? Awkward, but tha beat sounds pretty nice, and it’s only 2:32 on tha length… Likin’ tha beat, here; only one verse this gon be? Catchy hook; gotta hold onta KarlWayne, ya dig? Hearin’ tha verse and it sounds nice; great-soundin’ song fa somethin’ a lil’ slower… My Rating: 4.2

11. “Up There”

I know I reviewed this one last year, on that one compilation disc you were featured on. I remember this bein’ so catchy… What I had said, previously: Nice beat from Nunu James, and here’s Karl on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit a crew! Feels great ta hear this and now that I’m actively hangin’ out, I can feel tha whole crew-like rhymes of havin’ multiple people witchu! Tha hook ain’t “bullshit;” it just sounds catchy, and a lot catchier wit tha “fuck that, get it up there” shit that repeats!! Great “shit!” Tha 2^nd verse sounds pretty nice, too! Nice reppin’, my boy! My Current Rating: 4.6

12. “Some More” feat. Ryco Hu$$le & Big June

K.O. production. And, to go with what I said before, make it 3: Not really likin’ that Ryco ain’t “wanna be a part of hearin’ why B-Real ruined my Louisiana passion.” It’s like, you can’t be afraid! That’s why, I’m a Shift Leader! And, I take risks, not hide away! Anyway, lemme see what we got, here… >>> Really likin’ tha beat start, here; nice hook from you, too, K.O., lol! Diggin’ how you on a mission fa “mo!” Tha 1^st verse sounds pretty nice, here; props fa holdin’ tha hood down, as always! Hearin’ tha 2^nd from Ryco… it’s acceptable, except these stupid-ass “money” obsessions; that don’t go wit this CD! It’s not like I’m gettin’ any or any music, anyway, so I could give a fuck less! Only 24 seconds left and there’s a 3^rd verse: Big June (an “E” missing on tha back cover?)… He sounds nice on this shit; great shit fa only 24 seconds! My Rating: 4.2

13. “Ask About Me” feat. BluBlack

Previously reviewed… A Q-Red-produced track, here. Though I still resist leaving feedback (like, it’s more normal for an actual penis to randomly appear), I think this sounds good, as always. Nice job wit you on tha hook; hook almost sounds a lil’ like some older tracks from others, but you gotta feel it! Here you are on tha 1^st verse, too, comin’ through, spittin’ in a great, post-jail kinda way! Lots of “eat dat dick up” shit ‘round 1:19; gotta threaten ‘em wit your “dick.” Got Blu on tha 2^nd verse, and he sounds real great, as always! Really diggin’ that he always still smokes, as well as feelin’ like tha coolest dude in dat Lane! My Current Rating: 4.4

14. “Bodied” feat. G-Lane Steve

A Hammer-produced track, here; don’t think I’ve eva heard of him… Also, this should be a nice collab wit tha Stevenson on tha feature, lol… >>> Definitely diggin’ tha slow, creepy-soundin’ beat intro!! It got louder once tha hook came in, and this sounds nice! Diggin’ tha hook, as you hold it down to tha fullest! Gotta luv how G-Lane Steve starts tha 1^st verse off wit dem “chewies” and shit like dat! Good shit, tha whole way ‘round… Here you are on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some nice shit, as always! Gotta luv how you holdin’ it down fa tha gangstaz at all times! And, this beat definitely goes great with it! What tha hell? What happened? There’s 24 seconds of silence at tha end; why, lol? My Rating: 4.3

15. “Bitch Do” feat. J-Bae Bay-Bae

Back to this anticipatin’ feature and Ruffin on tha beat; whoot, whoot!! >>> Beat sounds catchy; it sounds less-energetic than other tracks he’s produced but it’s still nice. Tha hook sounds catchy wit this title and all this shit repeatin’; “ride dat dick,” lol… Nice job wit tha hook and 1^st verse, so far, Mr. JayDae… He holdin’ it down witchu, creatin’ some catchiness… And, here you are on tha 2^nd verse, wit your “Tolerance on zero;” gotta feel it! LOL @ strokin’ tha “pistol;” you know! Damn, 12 seconds of silence at tha end… My Rating: 4.3

16. “Fucked Up” feat. Needy Nee

Ooh, tha “Up There” producer on this (Nunu James); can’t wait ta hear this one, too! >>> Beat sounds pretty nice; great sound, once again! LOL, I tried to guess tha hook and say, “You got me fucked up;” I was close, lol! It’s, “Bitch, you got me all tha way, all tha way, all tha way fucked up!” Nice job wit tha hook and you holdin’ down tha 1^st verse, as well; good shit! Now, we got Needy on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit great shit, once again! It’s all about lettin’ out tha inner-gangsta in ya! LOL, she sure shoved in tha final bar of her verse, lol! My Rating: 4.2

17. “Out My Top” feat. Bizzak Man & C4

Endin’ it wit a K.O. production… C-4 (with a dash) iz a group consisting of Piper, Ryco Hu$$le & Trouble T. However, just got a friend request from this C4 (without tha dash), also from BR! Regardless of anything, I’m anticipated ta hear this four-minute track wit Bizzak on tha feature! >>> Whoa @ tha beginning beat; kinda shocked me outta nowhere wit its distortion! Holy, distortion; luv it!! Wait, it’s really, actually fucked up!! Even when I try and listen to it on DatPiff, tha audio’s all fucked…! Wow, what happened to tha file? At least I can hear it… As far as tha hook, it’s pretty nice how y’all “out [y’all] top!” Iz dat Bizzak on tha hook? That gon be my guess? Here you are on tha 1^st verse and it sounds great wit all tha “bruh” parts; nice! You did a nice job deliverin’ tha 1^st verse! If I had ta guess tha 2^nd verse, it’s Bizzak? LOL, it’s so distorted… I’m diggin’ this gangsta perspective on tha 2^nd verse, though… Tha 3^rd verse sounds okay, as well, here… My Rating: 4.3

Overall: Well, I have to say, this was a really-impressive CD, Mr. KarlWayne!! You’ve neva been soft or even average; every song I’ve heard from you’s had, mainly, original production, as well as it bein’ a hot banga!! You’ve neva disappointed me and this whole entire CD definitely went hard!! Tha 1^st ½ struck me more, but you kept tha consistency goin’, as well as keepin’ me awake! Props fa doin’ dat!! Good job wit most of tha features and 95% of tha producers!! Keep up tha great work, my boy!!

Review #1,414: Street Certified Muzic Presents "I Love My Hood (Da Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 8.10.2014 & 8.11.2014 (Review #1,414)

Got one more review before a record label comes to visit me! This review gon be my 1,414^th review: Street Certified Muzic Presents I Love My Hood (Da Mixtape)! A label by KarlWayne from G-Lane, this looks like it gon be a Gardere Lane compilation? I will find out when I review this! But, real quick: This ain’t sellin’ any copies in tha hood? Tha total length of tha CD’s 1:20:06, only six seconds longer than tha maximum CD length! What gives? Start Time: 9:59 PM | End Time: 7:50 AM

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! After I was robbed by two artists who claimed their “money [was] long,” hearin’ about how much you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

01. Jigg-Three Feat. Lil’ Josh “My Neighborhood”

Looks like this gon be great ta start this off! Who iz this Josh? This ain’t tha “Jigga Juice” one, iz it? >>> A real-nice hook!! Definitely feelin’ this beat and this G-Lane vibe! LOL, tha dayz of when I fucked wit Louisiana music tough; surprised niggaz still fuck wit me… But, mentionin’ tha label, I think there’s true luck wit reviewin’ G-Lane CDs before real-great moments occur! Like, I reviewed tha The Big Picture CD, and I got called in for my 1^st job interview tha next day, which later became my job! Now, I’m reviewin’ this and tomorrow, a label’s comin’ ta do a magazine article on me!! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse (Lil’ Josh?) and it’s tight; great vibes fa tha 225! That hook’s just so catchy wit tha “In my neiiiighborhooood” shit repeatin’! Tha 2^nd verse has a nice voice and shit goin’ on. However, it sounds a lil’ off-beat throughout tha 1^st part of tha verse… A long beat outro, here; nice ta have… My Rating: 4.6

02. BluBlack Feat. Hannibal & Ar’Jay “F.W.M.”

That “Don’t F.W.M.” song? *Checks* Yup, with Ar’Jay on this joint, too. My Current Rating: 3.4

03. KarlWayne “Up There”

Neva gave any of your post-jail songs a review, other than “I’m Thugging”, which debuted on my playlist a year ago today; crazy! So, I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this and givin’ it an actual review! >>> Nice tease in tha beginning, as well as tha “General” dude creatin’ an intro! Nice beat from I dunno who, but here’s Karl on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit a crew! Feels great ta hear this and now that I’m actively hangin’ out, I can feel tha whole crew-like rhymes of havin’ multiple people witchu! Tha hook ain’t “bullshit;” it just sounds catchy, and a lot catchier wit tha “fuck that, get it up there” shit that repeats!! Great “shit!” Tha 2^nd verse sounds pretty nice, too! Damn, mixin’? Must be mixed by someone like Chilly Chill or somethin’? Sounds like those kinda effects; weird how I remember ‘em from at least a ½ decade ago! Nice reppin’, my boy! My Rating: 4.4

04. Lil’ Josh “Street Nigga”

Yeah! >>> Interestin’ beat; beat seems a lil’ slower than a faster G-Lane vibe… “I don’t give a fuck if they sign me;” a nice, underground perspective, here. I’ve always felt tha same way about myself; I’ve neva wanted to blow up. This label comin’ to interview me tomorrow’s a great opportunity; I dunno what’ll happen! Exposure’s great, though I always wanna be an undaground nigga. Tha 1^st verse sounds pretty good, here; props fa Josh fa representin’! Tha 2^nd verse has G-shit in it; diggin’ it… My Rating: 4.0

05. Drien Feat. KarlWayne “Play With Me”

Looks anticipatin’… >>> Nice screwed sample on tha hook about bein’ a “gangsta!” Hearin’ Drien on tha 1^st verse, and it almost sounds like that Young Maniac dude, I think? It’s been a minute… As for me hearin’ this, it sounds pretty nice… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse (KarlWayne?) and it’s just as good; really diggin’ tha G-shit in tha rhymes! Can’t escape dat “choppa!” My Rating: 4.2

06. Beezy Bird Feat. BluBlack & Needy Nee “Bring ‘Em Out”

Yeah!! >>> Sounds kinda good in tha beginning, except tha “money long” shit… Hearin’ Beezy on tha 1^st verse, and it sounds like tha good ol’ times of me bein’ 20 & 21, when I used to fuck wit G-Lane tha most. Diggin’ how he brought back tha “I’m drinkin’, and I’m smokin’” shit that Down Bad had; way ta go, Beezy! You still a real-cool dude! Got Blu on tha 2^nd verse; still soundin’ good wit his delivering-“X” rhymes! He even said, “Fulla dem pillz;” yay @ 28! Keep poppin’! I’m now 26 and I’m finally hangin’ out at least once a week, includin’ gettin’ fulla dat shit! Needy slipped in on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 2^nd verse; sounds good fa these Gardere streetz… My Rating: 4.3

07. Yola No Soda “Trap House”

New name? You know how he does! So great to get high at least once a week, now-a-dayz! I can’t believe I did today, worked, and have been up since 3:14 AM—that’s 19 hours, without a nap!! Lots of motivation and perseverance!! >>> Not much time on this track, here, but it’s soundin’ good fa a start. That mixin’ can get confusing in tha beginning, between playin’ parts and rewindin’ it back. Anyway, tha 1^st verse’s pretty good, and tha hook sounds catchy, especially fa tha “trap!” How can you not luv Yola? Tha 2^nd verse starts off good wit “eatin’ stuffin’ every day like it’s Thanksgiving.” Consistent rhymes; gotta luv err-thang that comes outta his mouth! My Rating: 4.5

08. Bando Bert Feat. Jigg-Three “Trap”

Lookin’ forward ta this collab, too!! >>> Beat sounds a lil’ different, here, still with a club vibe, and it’s nice. Tha hook’s pretty catchy; really diggin’ that voice! Delivery’s catchy as fuck, once again! Tha 2^nd verse’s great; really diggin’ this voice, once again! Sounds great wit this delivery; oh, I fuckin’ luv it!! Gonna be close between tha Yola song and this; who will win tha tie-breaker? My Rating: 4.5

09. Kris “Boot Nigga”

Small name; could lead to a lot? >>> A female? Sounds like a watered-down version of what could be bounce music, but tha rappin’ on tha 1^st verse ain’t too bad… Tha hook’s straight; likin’ tha repetitive parts… Now, tha 2^nd verse sounds more feminine? Iz a feature missing? Anotha decent verse… Tha 3^rd verse iz whateva, too; a lil’ boring, but it’s somethin’ that’s listenable and okay, at least. My Rating: 3.5

10. Bizzak Man Feat. KarlWayne & Vic Boi “Mind Right”

Here’s Bizzak (spelled like that, I was originally told? Y’all have it as “Blizack”, lol…), with a nice lineup! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this joint! >>> Kickin’ it off wit a KarlWayne verse; pretty nice! Catchy rhymes wit his “mentality!” Some singin’ on tha hook (Bizzak?)? Interestin’ catch to this track; props fa tha cool voices! Here’s tha 2^nd verse (Vic Boi?), comin’ through wit a lotta “blue-black” references, lol. Yeah, it now sounds like a Bizzak Man verse, on tha 3^rd verse, here! Lots of catchy rhymes; sounds like tha hidden Baton Rouge version of Stalley, with tha delivered rhymes, here! Nice job, overall! My Rating: 4.2

½time: So far, pretty nice and consistent! Really diggin’ how theres’s so many different artists, on tha tracks! Big ups to err-body on this CD, comin’ through wit their great voices, deliveries and song styles! Tha average CD rating’s at a 4.2, currently; how will it end, lol? I hate to cut it short fa a sec, but I’m really tired, and need to lay down fa a lil’ bit… Takin’ a break at 10:43 AM, almost 19 ½ hours to tha minute! We’ll see what time I wake up! *Takes break* Damn, I had a broken-up sleep, tha whole time; I couldn’t stay up, so it’s now 7:07 AM on August 11… Either way, I’m glad I’m awake, though I got only five hours ‘til my special visit!

11. G-Lane Steve Feat. KarlWayne “Window”

Don’t think I’ve heard of tha main artist, though I think we might be Facebook friends… >>> Sounds like mo great shit from tha undaground; nice beginning, though I still don’t think that’s cool mixing, by providing a sneak peek in tha beginning. That shit started on Lil’ Phat’s Death Before Dishonor and should’ve just ended there! Feelin’ this hook wit tha whole “peekin’ out tha window” shit! And, tha 1^st verse’s kinda dry on tha delivery. Also, bad mixing from 1:10 – 1:19; sounded like skipping, instead. Shit @ 1:40 – 1:48 wit tha mixing, again! I don’t mind tha rapper on tha 1^st verse, but he doesn’t have any energy in his voice… LOL @ Mr. Karl on tha 2^nd verse, “Duckin’ from tha cops.” LOL, if you’re me, on dat kush, and you’re roamin’ around an abandoned area, you see a cop outside, and you just pull your camera out; worked fa me! Just act like you’re gettin’ footage! No wonder why I’m a Lucky Dog! Shit @ 3:12 – 3:20; stupid ‘skip-mixin’’! My Rating: 4.3 (a generous rating ‘cause of tha catchy hook)

12. Ryco Hu$$le Feat. Piper Rogers “I Kept Quiet”

Name changes, here: Ryco Hu$$le originally went by D.$.G., and Piper Rogers was just Piper. Both of them were a part of tha group, C-4. Now, here’s a portion! >>> This one starts off not blended, which sounds betta… “No regrets;” that’s right, even wit tha continuous amount of shit I’ve dealt with! I guess all that shit I dealt with lead up to tha label visiting me? Either way, hearin’ Hussle on tha hook and all this “I do it all again” shit sounds good; catchy hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and I’m diggin’ tha street vibes from him; you know what it iz… Catchy rhymes; didn’t sound like typical shit err-body else spits, so I appreciate him fa bein’ in a different lane, but stayin’ in dat Lane! On tha 2^nd verse, too? I must’ve forgot about Piper’s voice (unless he’s on tha hook?)… Either way, this was before Yola got released, accordin’ ta tha “Free Yola” shit. Glad this anotha good verse, too; can’t complain… My Rating: 4.2

13. KarlWayne Feat. BluBlack “Ask About Me”

Should be interestin’! >>> A Q-Red-produced track, here. Though I still resist leaving feedback, I think this sounds good, as always. Nice job wit Karl on tha hook; hook almost sounds a lil’ like some older tracks from others, but you gotta feel it! Here’s Karl on tha 1^st verse, too, comin’ through, spittin’ in a great, post-jail kinda way! Lots of “eat dat dick up” shit ‘round 1:19; gotta threaten ‘em wit your “dick.” LOL, I was playin’ beer pong yesterday, and if I didn’t get one in before my opponent got all tha balls in, I had to run naked outside. I would’ve done it, but I wound up gettin’ three in, lol. Then, my opponent wound up not gettin’ one in when versin’ someone else, and nearly went naked, lol! Got Blu on tha 2^nd verse, and he sounds real great, as always! Really diggin’ that he always still smokes, as well as feelin’ like tha coolest dude in dat Lane! My Rating: 4.4

14. B-Porter “My Side Of The City”

Don’t think I’ve eva heard of this dude, but am lookin’ forward! >>> A nice track to rap on, though a lil’ dry on tha voice/delivery, once again… Sounds more quieter than usual, wit tha voice, too… Not much of a transition from tha 1^st verse to tha hook… Weak transition, but a somewhat-catchy hook; so far, a good, decent joint, here. Tha 2^nd verse sounds a lil’ betta. Damn, this joint’s 4:52? I dunno why it has ta be so long; prolly could’ve subtracted a verse? Tha 3^rd verse’s start has a betta transition from tha hook ta start it off; not bad… “April 17, 1991,” I see? A lil’ younger than me… My Rating: 3.7

15. KarlWayne “Thuggin’”

And, here it iz, with tha now-shortened title as “Thuggin’”, lol. Here’s what I had to say when it appeared on my 15^th mixtape compilation:

Formerly known as K.O., and produced by Q-Red, here. Even got a lil’ music video online, too, so that’s what’s up! Nice lil’ comeback, here, strictly “thugging” in dat Gardere! I like that, “Man, I’m thugging,” random part ‘round 2:01. Go, K.O.—I mean, KarlWayne, lol! Strictly vibin’ off this Q-Red beat! I like how he ended it wit, “I’m thugging!” My Current Rating: 4.5

16. Needy Nee Feat. KarlWayne “Wrong Dude”

Let’s see, here… >>> Nice beat fa Needy ta rap on; sounds pretty intense, and one of tha best beats on here! LOL, nice hook; sounds like that old club shit from back in tha day! And now, I believe this month, Needy reaches 30; glad she still goin’ fa dat Lane! LOL, almost thought it was Blu on tha 2^nd verse, but it’s Karl, comin’ through wit some catchy rhymes, once again! Glad he all ova this; Street Certified Muzic-representin’ at its finest! My Rating: 4.4

17. Zipp Johnson Feat. KarlWayne & Obeeze “Friends/Enemies”

Y’all spelled “enemies” as “enimies,” lol… Looks like a nice collaboration; don’t think I’ve heard tha Zipp dude, yet! >>> Q-Red beat, once again; guess that’s how tha rest of this CD gon be? Catchy hook: “Friends become enemies;” I just titled it with a slash ‘cause it was a compound word in tha mp3 file… Either way, pretty nice; I feel tha energy in this voice, here! Good job from this Zipp (newbie) fa me! Kinda sounds a lil’ bit like Beezy Bird, too…; lots of “friends” collaborations, it seems like? LOL @ how KarlWayne starts tha 2^nd verse: “Ol’ faggot-ass, coward-ass, bitch-ass nigga;” dumb shit! And, it’s true ta anyone that ain’t thank me fa awards and deleted me, instead; how fucked up! Just happened a few dayz ago, too! Then again, sendin’ awards ta niggaz’ll really over; thank God I don’t have to waste my money, anymore! Let’s hear this Obeeze verse on tha 3^rd verse… Sounds great and consistent; can’t complain! Hard ta believe it’s been six years since G-Lane Vol. 1 and tha “Go Hard N Da Paint” dayz! My Rating: 4.5

18. Big Jun Feat. G-Lane Steve & KarlWayne “Wetup”

“Wet”? LOL; neva heard of tha Jun dude, too! >>> Okay, more on tha shoot-ya side, here; a pretty-good hook… Here’s tha 1^st verse, wit “glue on [their] hands;” nice… “I smoke too much weed;” already! When it’s my turn ta hit, I usually neva turn any of it down! Nothin’ betta than bein’ in tha zone! Tha 2^nd verse sounds pretty nice wit tha “put this metal to ya mouth, but I ain’t talkin’ braces” line, in tha beginning! Definitely feelin’ tha G-shit fa tha G-Lane, here! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and I can’t tell who’s where, except Karl on tha 2^nd verse; I think tha ID has to be flipped, a lil’? Or, does it? “Peel yo shit back: Mr. Potato Head!” Nice! My Rating: 4.1

19. Yola No Soda Feat. KarlWayne “Fuck A Nigga”

Looks like this gon be good…!! >>> Sounded a lil’ familiar wit tha beat, at first, but this iz pretty jammin’ wit tha start! Really diggin’ how Yola comin’ through on tha hook, straight puttin’ tha middle finga up, consistently! Nice shit on tha 1^st verse from Yola, too; can’t get in his way! Tha cool thing about work now iz that I’m five years older than most, there, feelin’ like Yola wit me. I say that ‘cause Yola five years older than me, so it’s a great 3-8-3 effect (our years born), lol; I’m in tha middle! Karl on tha 2^nd verse, here; pretty short verse, but it’s nice ta collab wit Yola, doin’ tha damn thang! My Rating: 4.7

20. KarlWayne Feat. Vic Boi & Needy Nee “So Dumb”

Y…U…P…! >>> An acapella start from Karl; nice wit all tha “dumb” parts! Tha beat start and intro sounds good! LOL, this mixtape lost its mixin’ outta nowhere; really glad fa that, but who knew, lol? Tha hook sounds good; I can feel tha energy, luckily, not thinkin’ that you’re just in a booth barely movin’ while recordin’ it! Here’s Karl on tha 1^st verse, sneakin’ tha “Nina” in; uh-oh! He feelin’ good/cool, here! Oh, and Karl, luckily, just a few weeks ago, I got my head outta tha DJ B-Real gutter, thanx ta hangin’ wit one of my friends from work! Who knew? Someone from where I live at, who’s one decade, one month & one day younger than B-Real would shift my attention fa tha betta? Anyway, hearin’ Vic on tha 2^nd verse, and it sounds pretty good; consistent “Lane” reppin’, here! Sounds jammin’ on this beat; gotta feel y’all! Got tha 3^rd verse from Needy, here, comin’ through wit consistent rhymes; feelin’ how she comin’ through! “Eat you up like an entrée;” nice! My Rating: 4.3

21. Lil’ Kev Feat. G-Lane Steve & Big Wayne “Eye Watching”

Endin’ wit an interestin’ collab; don’t think I heard of tha Kev dude, too! >>> LOL @ tha start; even got Big Wayne in tha background! Sounds like somethin’ from a long time ago? I just think of that ‘cause I know Big Wayne’s really in tha Boosie mode, now-a-dayz. Tha hook sounds pretty nice; serious shit, even though Big Wayne sounds off-beat, at times? I dunno, but he sounds on-beat on tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through wit nice energy! He even repped you: “G-Lane Steve;” you know what it iz… Then again, he called himself “DJ Big Wayne;” lol, sounds like a teenage throwback? Tha ’07 dayz? One thing that would be missin’ if it was an ’07 throwback iz Big Wayne’s old, fast beat pattern… Tha 2^nd verse sounds pretty good, here; I’m diggin’ it… Though I don’t mind “eyes watching” me, when it comes ta what I do, I have ta admit, I don’t like if “eyes” are “watching,” ready ta confront me; that’s my autistic backlash? Then again, we can all be anti-social? Big Wayne on tha 3^rd verse, as well? Shouldn’t it be his song as tha main artist, if he on here tha most? “I’m Coogi-down wit Levi’s;” nice! It’ll neva be outdated fa me! I be wearin’ Levi shoes, at tha moment, and I still appreciate dat Coogi! My Rating: 4.4

Overall: Time fa tha label!! Oh, only four hours left to prepare! Real exciting! Anyway, a pretty nice, undaground mixtape, here! I definitely appreciate all tha unknown people, as well as it reppin’ tha whole G-Lane! Props fa KarlWayne and Street Certified Muzic fa puttin’ this together!

Live Review #09: Black Noise Records "The Big Picture"

Review #1,383: Black Noise Records "The Big Picture"

Reviewed on 3.13.2014 (Review #1,383)

Keepin’ tha reviewz goin’, up next iz Black Noise Records The Big Picture! This tha follow-up to 2011’s Back 2 Business mixtape, which was hosted by DJ Smallz. As always, Black Noise Records consists of people like BluBlack, Hannibal, S.O.S., Kidd, Blu3 Da Truth (BluBlack’s younger brother) & others. Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this one! Start Time: 10:26 AM | End Time: 3:00 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! After I was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

01. BluBlack “BluBlack Freestyle”

Hope I can get through these reviewz… My room iz a mess from renovatin’ my closet/gettin’ rid of old shit. I can’t put my little heater on, due to shit everywhere, and it’s cold today:

But, let’s get this thang started and see how long I last, today! >>> Sounds like classic BluBlack right chea! Even a beat that sounds like he might’ve produced? Catchy-ass flow fa this freestyle, or should I say, sample of a new track? “Yeah!!” Classic Blu-soundin’ track, right there!! My Rating: 4.6

02. Hannibal Feat. BluBlack, Kidd & Reese Da Don “Nothing For A Mobster”

Looks anticipatin’, and it has that classic long length of 5:38 on tha length, kinda like tha “Dat Potion” dayz, wit tha four people! >>> So far, pretty nice wit tha hook! “Mobster, eatin’ lobster;” catchy hook, Hannibal! I’m definitely feelin’ it!! Tha beat sounds pretty nice, like tha ’02 dayz of Lil’ Flip & Chamillionaire “U See It”; #TBT!! Blu on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some consistent rhymes fa tha G-Lane! “A week ago” wit tha “purp;” nice!! A laughing Hannibal on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit “buku broads;” that’s what’s up! Even might be “on dat pill”? That’s what’s up, again! “Promethazine!” Such a catchy hook that you can’t deny!! “Mobster!!” “Lobster!!” Here’s Kidd on tha 3^rd verse, “tryna not be dat nigga pickin’ dandelions;” I feel ya! Ya gotta get that growth by gettin’ ya music out there! I hate people that “snitch;” I’m dealin’ with my brother’s snitchin’, as we speak! He gets so fucked up from me speedin’ 10 over tha speed limit, to where he has to whine to my mom to tell her I smoke weed, at times, and had found a crack pipe while lottery ticket hunting! He even smashed it against my bed, glass all over, and I was crying! Fucked up!!! Okay, I hear just a beat, right now, after tha 3^rd verse; where iz Reese? Or, iz he on tha hook wit Hannibal? Can’t exactly tell, since there was a long beat outro and I thought I’d hear a verse… My Rating: 4.8

03. BluBlack Feat. Slugga “So Tired”

Don’t think I’m 100% familiar wit this Slugga…; I know there’s one outta tha N.O., though. >>> Sims doin’ tha beat, but why that gay-ass auto-tuned tag from so long ago? You realize it’s 2013, here? Anyway, nice beat, not depressin’, and Blu sounds good on tha hook! Yea, “I’m so tired” of this Pennsylvania bullshit life I’m livin’ wit no job! Ugh! Blu on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through, “fuckin’ make it happen” iz his perspective; I feel him! “Black dread head, tattoos, plus gold teeth;” that’s tha look right there!! Blu one of tha best in Louisiana!! Been fuckin’ wit him since December 2008!! Nice job wit tha 1^st verse; hope you travel again soon, Blu! I know you got a lot goin’ on fa ya age! And, it’s your birthday in five dayz; lookin’ forward to wearin’ blue & black, again! Wearin’ all blue, right now! Here’s this Slugga—oh wait, from Da Gremlins?—on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some gutta street shit, here! I hope all this braggin’ about his status—though, I’ve neva heard of him, I don’t think?—iz worth connectin’ wit me! And, like he says, “out tha gate!” My Rating: 4.6

04. BluBlack Feat. Dogg & Classik “Loud”

No preview. >>> It iz; that’s why, I didn’t have a preview. He doesn’t like Instagram comments and deleted mine about gettin’ high twice, though he attracted people to comment on him gettin’ high! I don’t get it, so I just want money from this point on! And, even more pathetic how I remember: Four dayz ago was a ½ decade since I first talked to Dog Da Cutthroata… Anyway, tha hook’s pretty nice wit all tha “loud” shit, and Dogg’s on tha 1^st verse… Can I get some HAIM?! Either way, it’s jammin’, so I can’t front on scorin’ it good, but it was a good contribute. I just don’t get why he’s allergic to Instagram comments?! We got Blu on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit a good “smell” of “loud;” shit yeah! “Fulla dem drugs; ‘bout ta pull up at Dreams;” go, Blu! Keep clubbin’!! Sooner or later, I’ll get to Louisiana and finally get ta enjoy y’all’s partyin’ lifestyles!! Shout out ta Greg Johnson fa likin’ tha pic I posted about doin’ tha live review ‘cause we got Classik on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit a gutta voice, on dat shit!! He sounds like tha dude that robbed a ½ stack off of me, but we’ll just focus on Classik, since it’s 2014, right now! Nice “smokin’, blowin’ doe-doe” at tha end! Jammin’ beat, too!! My Rating: 4.5

05. BluBlack & S.O.S. “Dime Bread Diva”
Keepin’ it goin’… >>> Definitely diggin’ tha beat start, right chea! I like that it’s 22 seconds!! Classic-soundin’ Blu catchiness on tha hook, right chea!! Sounds like he’s havin’ sooooooo much fun wit this “dime bread diva,” or should I say, divas!! Real catchy!!! Tha 1^st verse from Blu sounds hella catchy, too!! “I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T,” you know! Of course, this sound takes me back to tha Code Blu dayz; I’m real glad I’m reviewin’ it live, right now!! Here’s S.O.S. on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit tha Blu/Black Noise flow, and I’m feelin’ it! Great shit; just luvin’ how he comin’ through wit tha flow, also!! My Rating: 4.9

06. BluBlack, A.R., Classik & Secret “Choosin’”

Hmm… >>> I assume that’s a BluBlack beat tag, also (“Blu Bleezy, huh?”)? This sounds catchy as fuck, once again!! Of course, jealousy attracts “choosin’”-ass people!! Sounds like a leftover track from A+B+C = Da Formula, only better than that whole CD? Blu on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit catchy shit, once again; he luv gettin’ fucked to tha bone!! I luv when he raps about “weed” and them pillz and shit; glad he always gon have dat in his blood!! “Ice cold, subzero,” just like tha temperature outside that sucks!! Here comes tha long, lost A.R. on tha 2^nd verse; been a long while since I heard him last. Sounds like a great verse, also; glad he doin’ his thang! He only, like, 24 now; still supa young—well, we’re all in our 20’s, except a few of us… Yea, some of us are in our early 30’s, you know what I mean? Hearin’ tha 3^rd hook and it sounds more soulful fa tha south, in a great way! Classik on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit catchy rhymes; he supplies that 3^rd in A+B+C! Fuck dat “myth,” if it’s negative about “big niggaz in tha club;” anybody can get it!! Aight, well, Blu had tha best verse/that hook, though tha super-obsessive excitement kinda got watered down wit tha other two verses, fa me. Either way, real nice track!! My Rating: 4.7

07. Secret, BluBlack, Sims On Tha Track, Hannibal & Reese Da Don “Smoke Break (Interlude)”

A long interlude, this time! Let’s see what y’all got goin’ on, here… >>> Ray Charles in tha beginning? Like, a gangsta version of him? A beat, here… It sounds pretty nice and relaxin’… I wish, Blu: “24 hours a day!” Wow, this feels great!! I don’t usually rate interludes, but because this has, at least, a hook, I almost wanna rate it!! Well, call of tha devil, Blu rappin’ at 2:13 or somethin’! Feelin’ all tha “purple haze” and drugs, when it comes ta weed! I wish I lived wit you, Blu!! I always wish I lived wit Yola!! Sims comin’ through wit rappin’, too! As always, gotta luv his southern, gutta voice! Nice how tha beat reverses! Hannibal on tha 3^rd verse, here; gotta put him after Sims, on tha ID! Feelin’ his “blowin’” obsession, whether it’s weed, or, yes, tha “bitches!” Okay, Reese, a verse? Did I miss him again? My Rating: 4.8

08. BluBlack “Lay It Down”
>>> Sounds like a different kinda style beat I’m anticipatin’!! Just luv tha production and sounds at all times!! That classic G-Lane sound!! Hook’s pretty catchy as fuck; “lay it down!!” I’m layin’ “down” tha live review, as we speak!! Blu on tha 1^st verse, always “real!” “Palm fulla ass;” did I hear right? I know you make this shit sound catchy as fuck! I’m definitely feelin’ how Blu comin’ through on this like it’s some classic Gotta Get It One Way-type shit! So, your result ta tha haterz, or whateva, iz “dat dick look,” huh? I guess so…; get ‘em, Blu! “I am tha V.I.P.;” you already know, Blu!! King of Gardere Lane!! “If you scared, go to church” iz like tha Ice Cube song from 2006; I would hope this ain’t 2008 or somethin’… I’m just bein’ sarcastic, but you neva know what’s left behind! My Rating: 4.7

09. BluBlack, Hannibal & Sims On Tha Track Feat. Bella “Foot In The Game”

Lookin’ forward ta this giant? >>> Nice beat and BluBlack intro! Tha Bella chick on tha hook sounds like someone y’all randomly picked up; pretty nice fa tha undaground! And, Blu & Hannibal doin’ a nice job on tha 2^nd ½ of tha hook, too! Blu’s on tha 1^st verse wit dat “medicine;” yeah! Though you think your “jail record” “fucked” you up, Blu, at least you have a job! I’ve had a Master’s Degree for 20 months, and I still don’t have a job! Bitches be manipulatin’ my ass; WTF?! Hannibal on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit dat fresh style! “Laughin’ at these pussy niggaz;” I feel ya! People becomin’ so “pussy” these dayz, between bein’ cheap and not makin’ me a priority! I’m glad y’all still believe in me! “Twistin’ blunts” on tha hook, Hannibal; gotta luv it!! And, WTF @ tha 3^rd verse; Bella soundin’ too fucked up on dat auto-tune; yuck as fuck!! I say it’s dudes masturbatin’ in each other’s ears/suckin’ each other’s dicks, but if it’s a chick, it just sounds toooooooo gay; bring out tha lesbian vibe wit dat a-tune shit, smh! Sims on tha 4^th verse (or, 2^nd ½ of tha 3^rd verse), and it’s soundin’ good on this track! At least it’s a normal voice, despite his tag! Fuck, not again wit tha outro shit; that’s twice, now!! My Rating: 3.2

10. BluBlack & Hannibal Feat. Baby B “Hoez & Niggaz”

This, too, I’m lookin’ forward to! I’m likin’ how B has red/pink-like hair, now! I guess my wish came true from, like, three years ago, when I talked about her bein’ “candy” or somethin’, lol? >>> “BluBlack!! Louisiana!!” Beat’s pretty serious, like, on some gutta, Nu$$ie-like beats, here!! Diggin’ how Blu comes through on tha 1^st ½ of tha hook wit tha “suckin’” people, as well as B comin’ through on tha 2^nd ½ of tha hook; nice collab!! Blu on tha 1^st verse, feelin’ “hypnotized!” “Only give her ass a 6,” huh? Kinda sounds like how I felt about tha auto-tuned track, previously! And yea, from a 10, a 6 iz, like, a 3 when these ratings are based off of 5 stars! I luv how Blu always says, “Hoez, hoez,” while B always says, “Niggaz, niggaz;” great collaboration!! And, she’s on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some crazy shit from tha hood!! Out The Mud-certified, right chea!! “Shitty-ass;” that’s right! Tha end of tha 2^nd verse, where she says, “You wrong,” almost reminded me of The Notorious B.I.G. and his “Dead Wrong”. I dunno, just tha “wrong,” I guess… Uh oh, “bouncin’ through tha club” wit Hannibal on tha 3^rd verse, here, not “playin’ not games!” He finna “scoop up ya dame,” though she, “White as cocaine;” nice!! Even “Ralph Lauren!” My Rating: 4.6

½time: So far, an excellent CD from Black Noise Records, formerly Entertainment, formerly Music! I’m definitely feelin’ tha classic vibes of tha 2008 BluBlack wit tha Code Blu and Gotta Get It One Way-type shit!! Blu had been a lil’ off tha radar wit me when I was goin’ through my troubles of gettin’ robbed a ½ a stack, but I’m glad he’s officially back!! Like, it’s official!! And, tha way y’all comin’ up wit these tracks are excellent!!! So far, tha average CD rating’s a 4.5!!! Wish y’all didn’t ruin it wit tha auto-tune, but, like I do wit tha live reviewz, I gotta call y’all and see what’s up!! First, Hannibal! *Calls* Thanx fa pickin’ up, Hannibal, and I’m glad you really appreciate this live review, so far!! You only heard what’s been goin’ on, not seein’, so when you see it, best believe it, ya heard me?! And, S.O.S. didn’t pick up tha phone, just now, so I finna move on wit tha review…

11. Hannibal & BluBlack Feat. Disco “Blood Money”

Looks pretty serious… Disco been M.I.A. for a long while, now (at least a ½ decade). He was on MySpace, though I neva even seen him on Facebook. Now, it’s Instagram time; wonder when he gon get back on track? I neva still talked to him, before… But, I’m definitely lookin’ forward to this collab!! >>> “Bullshit”? Takin’ a sample wit tha “blood money” and “drug money;” now, it sounds anticipatin’!! Not tha lack of anticipation fa when I hear “money” jointz ‘cause of me gettin’ robbed! Pretty long hook, here; 46 seconds in, still! BluBlack on tha 1^st verse, gettin’ “it, thug!” Luv when y’all say, “thug!” Comin’ through wit tha “tool,” though it jammed! Nice “Hannibal” set of rhymes, too! “Ta ya knees, I’m shittin’;” I feel ya! Gotta luv when people shit! Got Hannibal on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit a more-energetic voice, right chea! Nice shit; I definitely feel ya! Sounds like an interlude in tha middle, before tha 3^rd hook? Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ Disco!! A victim of tha gun, but he comin’ through wit dat classic-soundin’ G-Lane shit!! Great job, y’all; nice collaboration!! My Rating: 4.5

12. BluBlack “Too Real”

At least Blu iz, though, because of other bullshit artists, I’m not a fan of this title, technically. >>> Sounds anticipatin’ wit tha “go, go!” chants! Beat’s pretty nice; I can feel it!! A serious-soundin’ joint, here, fa tha streetz!! “You like new gifts,” when it comes ta Blu openin’ y’all on tha 1^st verse, right chea; serious!! Consistent rhymes fa tha streetz; gotta luv it!! So jammin’ on tha hook when you say, “Shit get too real,” and then rhyme it, repetitively!! I remember when you “was stupid wit dem jiggaz;” honestly, I feel like you should still be a fool wit ‘em! Neva lose your attributes! Either way, nice job on this 2^nd verse, too! My Rating: 4.6

13. Hannibal, BluBlack & Reese “Boom!”
Yup! >>> Interestin’ production; reminds me of Quikkdraw, J Buc & Nu$$ie’s “I Bleed Dis”, produced by J Buc, from years ago! Sounds pretty serious, here, “in tha club” wit Hannibal on tha hook!! It has that anticipation like a C-Murder old beat, mixed in wit tha G-Lane paranoia!! Got Hannibal on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit his G-Lane shit, “puffin’ on da best;” you already know it’s paranoia at its finest, right now!! “Niggaz wit attitudes, like Cube in tha ‘80s;” that’s right, Hannibal! N.W.A.! Just luv tha energy on tha hook!! Y’all need ta fly up here and go to tha Kings Park Psychiatric Center; that’s where I got high for tha 1^st time, and it’s a great place for footage, videos, explorin’, and more!! Blu on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some serious shit! What made me think of Kings Park was ‘cause of tha vibe of this track! Blu’s “dick iz like a tree;” ladies, you already know what ta do wit it!! A long-lost Reese on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through as a Mystikal relative!! Cousin, if I’m not mistaken? It’s been a while… “From tha N.O. to tha B.R.,” just like DJ 5150 & Dre, right? My Rating: 4.7

14. BluBlack “Up There”

Glad this still made tha cut! It was first featured on my Tha Louisiana Archives Vol. 14: Important Artists Only! mixtape I dropped last year, on my birthday. Usually, I just post tha current rating, but since this iz an important review, I’m just gonna re-review it for tha hell of it… Just luv tha hypnotic sounds of tha beat; too crazy!! Would’ve done better with me last year, if I wasn’t in my DJ B-Real funk/what I like to call, “Heroin addiction!” Tha hook’s catchy wit Blu comin’ through wit a singin’-like voice; definitely diggin’ it!! And, comin’ through on tha 1^st verse as a mission: You “gotta get it up there!” Tha 2^nd verse iz consistent, too; gotta luv how Blu comes through like it’s your “lunch;” you must have this in your DNA—systems, whateva!! My Current Rating: 4.8

Intermission: It’s 11:47 AM, right now, and because I gotta eat, charge my camera, rip tha footage, and I’m runnin’ outta space, I need to take a quick break. See ya in a few minutes, hour, whateva… Aight, it’s 2:28 PM, now, after I took a brief nap, ripped tha footage I already took, ate, and am now back to doin’ tha review! Let’s see what’s next!

15. BluBlack & Kidd “Teardrops”
I dunno why, but I’m lookin’ forward… Even got Baton Rouge stamped on tha length, here (2:25)! I wonder if that was planned, lol? >>> Beat’s pretty serious, on a Baton Rouge tip; luvin’ tha hook, once again, Blu! Catchy hook wit this “teardrop” you don’t want to come out! Here’s Blu on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some G-shit fa tha G-Lane! “What goes around, comes around;” I hope that’s tha case fa those that took advantage of me, smh! Diggin’ tha catchy, classic vibe, once again!! Here’s Kidd comin’ through on tha 2^nd verse; consistent G-Lane shit, right chea! Crazy wit tha “body bag” action! My Rating: 4.5

16. BluBlack & Needy Nee “Really Doe”
Needy neva thanked me for her 2009 awards; been a long minute? >>> Anotha tag from you; of course, you definitely ownin’ tha production on this CD!! “Really doe;” definitely feelin’ tha classic catchiness!! Just so you know: I remember #16 on tha Code Blu CD bein’ tha “On Dem Pillz”! So, you know you got tha females always on lock wit tha #16 features, Blu!! Here’s Needy on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some great shit fa G-Lane, no matta what year it iz!! Definitely feelin’ her consistency on tha track, comin’ through wit that nice club vibe!! Dem “hoes” tryna “suck [Blu] out [his] Dickies;” dumb shit!! Blu goin’ nuts on tha 2^nd verse wit err-thang goin’ on wit this wild party!! I definitely feel it and still anticipate goin’ ta one of these, in tha future! Nice ending wit that trumpet, or whateva, ta end tha beat off, too! My Rating: 4.6

17. Hannibal, BluBlack & Sims On Tha Track “60 Seconds”

More like 303! >>> Nice beat start; almost has a sound in it from Gorilla Zoe’s “Hood Nigga” track, from ’06/’07? It’s anotha catchy Blu hook, once again; keep tha repetitiveness comin’ along!! Just “one minute” iz all Blu needs!! And, we got Hannibal on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through as tha attraction—center of attention! Hannibal really inta this track, right chea; he just luvs life!! More than “60 seconds!!” Tha king himself, Blu, on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through, “higher than an Indian;” “hee-mon-e-ah-gah,” just like my text message alert!! Good shit on tha 2^nd verse, Blu, strictly deliverin’ it in, a lil’ ova 50 “seconds,” since 12 bars on a 80 beats-per-minute track’s 48 “seconds;” this iz 70, so it’s a lil’ longer! Sims on tha 3^rd verse, gettin’ it in wit y’all; I feel great that he fits in wit y’all! At least he a normal and not an anti-social producer!! Also, not a private producer, smh!! My Rating: 4.4

18. Hannibal “Soulja Forreal”

A solo joint, here… >>> I like how he has tha Blu-like flow on tha hook, though I’m neva always fantasized by tha “money” rhymes/obsession—and, here we go wit tha 1^st verse, startin’ off wit “gettin’ money;” *yawn* It’s catchy, and I can dig it, at least, but I don’t fuck wit this kinda shit if it’s someone else, you know what I’m sayin’? Hannibal’s “face iz like a coupon” ta start tha 2^nd verse off; that’s betta, fa me, at least! I wish my brother would listen to you, and not smash fuckin’ pipes and shit by snitchin’! No one can ruin my reputation, now, as a near-26-year-old!! My Rating: 4.2

19. BluBlack & Hannibal “Top Dolla”
Let’s see, here… >>> Catchy beginnin’ beat, here, wit Blu on tha intro! Tha hook sounds pretty catchy, too; can’t deny these jointz!! If somebody hatin’, fuck them in their giant—or wait, small asshole!! Catchy rhymes in tha 1^st verse, Blu; glad you still on ya grind, despite tha “felon” shit! I’m glad it didn’t ruin you, and I’m glad you’re still around!! Hannibal on tha 2^nd verse, just luvin’ these dog hoes! And, a nice lil’ outro in tha background from Hannibal, on tha last four seconds! My Rating: 4.4

20. Nina Boy a.k.a. Yung 9 Feat. Hannibal “Night-Time In My GTO”

Originally, y’all didn’t have “GTO” capitalized, but I fixed it. Though I’m not up-to-par about knowin’ everything about cars, I knew about this. I’m lookin’ forward, includin’ hearin’ this Nina Boy dude! >>> Sounds like a Ja Rule-like, R&B/Hip-Hop intro beat… Iz he a G-Lane representa? Tha hook ain’t bad, but again, on tha “money” tip… Here’s tha 1^st verse from him, on that “money” shit, again… However, he’s got a real catchy voice and sounds like he’s from tha streetz, so I’ll give him a plus, here! If he “ain’t goin’ broke,” I hope he got some money ta spend on me fa promotion; I don’t charge a lot, at all! I wanna give err-body tha chance!! That flow reminds me of Lil’ Reese & Waka Flocka Flame wit their “Money Stackin’” joint, which, guilty pleasure wise, I don’t mind listenin’ ta that. I guess it’s ‘cause it’s a withdrawal from tha fake undaground people I was dealin’ with. Hannibal on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit catchiness; gotta feel how he grindin’! This ain’t too bad, overall; credit from ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog! About 40 seconds on tha beat outro, here… My Rating: 4.2

21. BluBlack & Billion Dollar Blu “Days Like This”

How we gon end this wit these two brothers, lol? >>> Sounds like Blu’s quoting/remaking an old song wit tha, “Mama said, ‘There’d be days like this.’;” it’s good wit tha vibe, though! It sounds like some nice, soulful, Baton Rouge-like shit, and wit Blu on tha 1^st verse, it sounds like some nice, street shit! LOL, “Tha one who put me on weed;” I feel ya! That may be you, and wit weed, all it took was some masturbatin’ ta get me ta *inhales*, lol! Yup, March 5, 2009 @ 9:59 PM; can’t forget tha date/time ‘cause I remember, when it was 10 (9 PM, Louisiana time), tha minutes on tha phone would be free, and it was only one minute away—“60 seconds,” like Blu says! We got Blu3 rappin’ on tha 2^nd verse, Blu’s younger brother, and it sounds good. He’s got a young-type of BluBlack, here! I think his age, at this point, was tha same age when I first heard BluBlack on Code Blu; interestin’… My Rating: 4.3

Overall: Well, in two exact hours, at 5:01 PM, it’ll be tha six-year anniversary of me gettin’ tha ID of a track to know who Meek Mill was, back on March 13, 2008 @ 5:01 PM; classic times!!

And, six years later, I reviewed this The Big Picture CD live on camera!! I think it fits tha history pretty well! So, we got tha Meek Mill discovery in ’08, findin’ a $40-winning scratch-off in tha garbage in ’09, and now, this fa ’14! Keep tha great moments comin’, y’all; all y’all did a great job on this CD!! I thought I’d hear Obeeze—how’s he doin’? Either way, great job gettin’ who y’all got on this CD! Y’all definitely did a great job, and BluBlack proved ta make a comeback, as this had that great, 2008-like vibe/fun times to it, and I’m definitely diggin’ it ‘cause you shouldn’t let that sound go to waste!! Keep ‘em comin’, Blu! Happy early birthday ta you, and happy early birthday ta Toke, who’s birthday’s on Sunday, tha 16^th!
