Review #2,016: Max Minelli "Diamonds In The Dirt" Documentary

Reviewed on 2.25.2022 (Review #2,016)
 
 

Happy 2/25 Day!! Frankie here, finna review my 2,016^th review: Max Minelli Diamonds In The Dirt, tha documentary that just dropped! I haven’t reviewed a documentary since November 4, 2012; now, I have a documentary to review, again! This documentary iz about tha Baton Rouge music scene evolving throughout tyme; tha artists are tha “diamonds,” while gettin’ it out tha mud iz tha “dirt.” Tha artists didn’t think they had dreams to accomplish till tha music started takin’ off. I had met Max, Sam I Am, Koo Shot Ya & Greg Dukes all on March 27, 2017, while Koo was filmin’ some scenes at Dukes’ studio. I was filmed, too, but accordin’ to Max, there’ll be more comin’ with a sequel, one day! Fa now, lemme see this Baton Rouge history in tha flesh! I’m watchin’ this via tha Tubi app, since it’s currently only available there… Lemme peep tha trailer out & see what’s up… *Peeps trailer out…* Tha BR bridge & “Baton Rouge” levee spelling’s alwayz a dope sighting! I’m diggin’ how Max Minelli iz directin’ this, with his voice & tha footage ta go with it! Looks great ta see a bunch of tha peeps I know & have showed me luv, in tha past & some till now! Like, can we rewind back tyme to tha history? July 14, 2008, when I did my 100^th review 1,916 reviewz ago, Nu$$ie gave me a shout-out on Jimmy The DJ’s Gangsta Gumbo, Vol. 2: Ghetto Pass mixtape! September 15, 2008, when I did my review for Kevin Gates All Or Nuthin’ (The Mixtape), when he had it posted on his MySpace blog. I got some good history! How does it compare to today’s value? I’ono, what y’all think? That Sam I Am shot in tha intro, yeah, that was March 27, 2017, when I called it in my intro that I’m still in!! Lol, I wrote that 1^st part of tha intro while I was sober & now, after hittin’ my THC pen, I seen & wrote about that day, only I’m still in tha intro, still, lol! Anywayz, can’t wait ta peep out this big release! I’ono, my perspective on some peeps have changed in value since my recording process, last year. Some could be worth an awesome rating but as a bad withdrawal; we’ll see what we got! Reals? Fakes? We’ll see…! What betta way ta start this review @ Baton Rouge legend, M Dot’s birthday tyme of 7:01! Start Time: 7:01 PM | End Time: 11:01 PM
 
 

Disclaimer: I rate each scene from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care what’s what! As long as it’s cool and good enough for me to like it! I look for style & then tha storyline. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings (if a scene 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 see it) so any scene can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I see tha scene; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha scene while I’m watching it. If you act like anything too mainstream for me, there’s auto-tune or lots of talkin’ about money, hoes & stuntin’ 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it! I also don’t go for stuntin’ wit tons of money, non-stop…

EDIT: I dunno if there’s different titles for different parts, so I’m basically reviewin’ this blind… I later had all but “History” without a preview, due to I wasn’t sure where each part started.
 
 
01. “Intro” (0:00 – 1:17)
>>>
 
0:00: Shout out ta Leverage Films (Mista Matt in tha inn, lol—building, that iz, lol), as well as what I knew as tha Y$E to tha Young, Self-Employed… Oh, tha Diamonds In The Dirt iz here…! Shout out ta Happy Perez for tha score, as tha bridge crosses below… Also, big-ups to Joe Mex, Koo & Matt fa playin’ big roles fa Max Pain…! Really feelin’ tha anticipation from tha start! I really can’t wait ta see what we got, throughout tha eras! How will I relate tha best to err-thang? We’ll see what it do. Fa now, can’t wait ta see how we gon start this thang off…! My Rating: 5.0
 
 
02. “History” (1:17 – 10:00)
How will we continue from here…?! >>>
 
1:37: I’m definitely feelin’ Max on tha directin’, once again, as tha BR levee proceeds below! Tha city buildings look awesome, too! I feel like I gon be ready fa a surprise, within each scene/set of footage!!
 
1:43: Tha LSU building literally looks 3D ta me!
 
1:53: Awesome evening shot with tha drone, with tha darkside of Baton Rouge’s bridge!
 
1:55: Wow, luvin’ tha instant attention-grabbers! S/O ta Sav, a.k.a. MobbGod! He, as well as us ‘80s babies, grew up in a unique era. Props fa holdin’ it down fa tha streetz…!
 
2:13: Damn, that 2016 flood was somethin’!
 
2:32: Tha crime rate in B.R. too bad-azz fa no reason…! Err-body who wanna be gunplay dis, “I hate you” dat should follow my energies, instead! Examples? Embrace an underground, Louisiana scene fa almost 15 years; review over 2,000 releases, overall, fa 16 years; do my own tri-weekly playlists fa 18 years; video-edit fa 20 years; do my own countdowns fa 22 years & film + act fa 23 years! That’s me, all tha way! But, I’m glad I’m accepted by B.R.!
 
4:31: Jimmy Swag with that eerie, top-selling value; feelin’ eerie when Max talks about tha “unfair investigation.” Also, crazy ending with that murder of February 19, 1986!
 
8:35: “Missing Kids” by Reality, bein’ B.R.’s 1^st track? Crazy! Even havin’ one of tha Reality dudes all dressed for today’s reality!
 
9:18: “Yeah!!” to Greg Dukes & tha Billboard-chartin’ Reality!
 
9:54: Lol, same-shot jump-cut with Reality! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
03. “Kyper” (10:00 – 13:04)
>>>
 
11:08: S/O to Kyper! Tha ‘90s in tha buildin’—tha “club,” I should say!
 
12:21: Gotta luv tha Billboard-chartin’ feelin’, from B.R.!
 
12:38: Yeah, those are some okay terms; I mainly knew some of that underground shit as electronica, back in my dayz. My Rating: 4.0
 
 
04. “MC Nero” (13:04 – 16:50)
>>>
 
13:10: “…In tha techno-rap world…”; wow, ain’t realize they was ahead of me but I was only two, in 1990. It only took me a decade later to know about tha unique blending. I alwayz find myself pairing tha two genres together (mainly considered “dance” more than “techno” fa my pairing), as if they were collegemates, ya feel me?
 
13:23: S/O to Nero! Can’t believe it’s been a whole half-decade since he passed…! Long Live Nero! I filmed tha tribute video ta him at tha Jessup Rock Mountain in Jessup, PA; tha site I now use to occasionally test my legs out, after workin’ out durin’ tha week.
 
13:46: S/O to Shonta; I remember dat pic with tha Girbaud shirt…! All about dem throwback Bauds! Lol @ tha SSJC @ 13:53…! Lol @ tha “headphone” in tha opposite direction technique of rappin’! That’s tha Nero fa ya!
 
15:07: S/O to “I Gotta Lotta Respect”…! I just feel bad for him; by seein’ him interviewed in this documentary, it sounds like he was sufferin’ from somethin’. Sad ‘cause he had a “lotta respect” from err-body… Y’all musta got lucky & got him interviewed not that long b4 he passed?
 
15:48: Damn; tha damn diabetes killin’! Sad shit; it’s what Skull Duggrey’s goin’ thru right now! I pray fa him every night; I alwayz utilize my 100.00% confident, positive energies on him so he can pull through his dialysis shits! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
05. “Silky Slim” (16:50 – 20:52)
>>>
 
17:09: Tyme for The Bottom… Here come Silky Slim, all dressed to impress, too… Bottom Posse ownin’ tha B.R. streetz of tha ‘90s!
 
18:31: Lol @ when he mentions about tha “white guys”; it SSJCs! That combo goes together, imo!
 
19:26: Luv tha blurry effect; how eerie! Talk about life-changin’, too! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
06. “C-Loc, Da Camp & Boosie” (20:52 – 43:05)
>>>
 
21:08: C-Loc! S/O to Who’s Gonna Ride?! @ 22:30: SSJC, lol, but tha production aspect was dope! S/O to investing! Also, S/O to Young Bleed!
 
23:35: Yeah, Bleed! “Concentration Camp” iz tha “Camp” ta be! S/O to referencin’ your group, Lay-Lo, Max!
 
24:18: Tha world of Young Bleed! Loc knew it was a gem @ 24:41; glad they got they shine! Also, lol, Bleed’s eyez lookin’ up all tha tyme’s pretty eerie. It’s a street, eerie feeling that sends a legendary shockwave to tha viewer…!
 
26:23: Awesome feeling of ’98 ta know that Baton Rouge was on top of tha world, courtesy of Bleed! Tha gold feeling, too!
 
26:49: I miss them dayz where err-body would make a collective effort like Camp II: Da Halocaust & collab together… Also, shout out ta J-Von’s appearance; not used ta seein’ him on video so it’s great ta see him till this day…!
 
27:03: Yeah! Nice ta see Max Minelli in tha booth & bein’ interviewed!
 
28:21: These dark tymes for Da Camp are dark but they’re awesome ta hear, story-wise. Tha “differences” between Loc & Bleed are unfortunate that happened. However, I feel tha same way about one of my ex-idols from Baton Rouge. Like, you can be a top priority one day, then, those expectations don’t meet & you move on!
 
29:56: Props fa goin’ your own way, Max; that’s what a leader does! Tha Lay-Lo tyme, courtesy of Max, Von & Happy P!
 
30:04: When narrating Max’s voice transitions into interviewed Max’s voice, tha sound pops. Wanna get rid of tha pop? Just make a cross fade transition at tha beginning of tha video’s audio clip & set tha transition length ta only two frames. It gets rid of tha pop!
 
33:48: It’s Boosie tyme! Likin’ tha vintage Boosie footage, as well as tha newer Boosie footage…! Also, likin’ tha hidden mirror in tha newer footage, on tha top-right; double Boosieness, lol!
 
35:19: That awesome street brew from Loc & Camp III: Thug Brothas! Great mixin’ tha interview with tha vibe of tha Camp III: Thug Brothas! Also, Max chimin’ in, at tymes…!
 
36:03: That throwback beat alwayz makes me feel like it’s tha beginning of my Louisiana connection, again!
 
36:17: An audio-pop wit Boosie, lol—a young Boosie, that iz! Glad Max appreciates his contributions to tha game, especially at a young, teenage age!
 
37:12: That studio session wit Boosie, Loc & Max looks like one of those awesome, young nights that tha world felt carefree & easy. Meanwhile, you ain’t realize it would get harder up ahead. That throwback quality & Boosie shmokin’ a blunt back then = an awesome tyme to be alive!
 
38:35: When that teenage Boosie said, “I love doin’ what I do,” I look at that bein’ me, my 33-year-old perspective, at my current job. When people can’t understand how I come in at 100.00% confident, determined & positive, I just let it be known that my passion iz at max. level!
 
39:15: Oh boy, Max! “Just like tha last tyme, trouble was around tha corna.” I feel eerily anticipated…! Damn, Loc; ouch, ouch! We all have our sentencing tymes! Can’t believe there’s a snitch on one of our trails throughout our lifetyme!
 
40:04: “And, a halfway-finished Boosie debut album.” Deep…, so deep… Tha throwback footage of Boosie looks like he hungry, so it blends in nicely with a “Boosie debut album” only bein’ “a halfway-finished” project! Poor Biggy-Biggy-Boos’!
 
40:29: Luv how Max would help & take over fa Loc, while Loc was in tha pen! That’s tha real dedication! I alwayz show that type of dedication but I almost never get tha same back in return! That’s what makes me a legendary & an ordinary person boring till this day!
 
42:09: Crazy business transition fa Boosie, when he went from Camp Life Entertainment ta Trill Entertainment, especially while Loc was locked up…! Luv Loc’s dedication to tha game, all these years later! Props fa “shaping up” Baton Rouge & for havin’ so much power! My Rating: 4.9
 
 
07. “Beelow” (43:05 – 50:33)
>>>
 
43:34: It’s Beelow’s tyme to shine! Didn’t recognize him when I seen tha thumbnail on tha Tubi app; now, I recognize! All about them ‘90s dayz…! Also, Ice Gen in them dayz, too!
 
45:49: S/O to Thug Addict on tha interview, durin’ tha Beelow see-mo tymes, lol…!
 
46:34: S/O to Z-Man; them 2000’s dayz fa me & early connection dayz…! Luv how he produced & produced, like, acapella on tha interview, transitioning into tha track/video!
 
47:58: Luv Beelow’s anticipation & tha expectations he wants to bring outta people by bringin’ Max, Loc & Bleed on tha track with him!
 
48:32: Lol, already up to 2008? Them “Jigga Juice” dayz! Even on Music Choice Rap & all that! Tha world wasn’t ready fa Baton Rouge like I was, back at 19!
 
48:58: Oh, geez, what now, Beelow? What was your deal…?! Damn! Bad tyming, basically? Scary! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
08. “South Coast Coalition” (50:33 – 59:31)
>>>
 
50:56: What iz goin’ on with this staple in tha head?? Ohhhh…, here come tha South Coast Coalition!
 
51:44: S/O to Matt & B-Rock, sharin’ their stories…! Neva knew about that South Coast Flavor release from 27 years ago!
 
53:18: X-Figgy-Figgy-Fyle iz in tha buildin’…! Luv how his career started off early, thanx to that “keyboard” that was gifted to him…!
 
54:16: Awesome to see tha old equipment! I remember bein’ on a Mac for tha 1^st tyme, back in September of 2001! I didn’t know what to expect with a different OS but it started a movement with my media, as tha years went on!
 
56:09: Life of tha awesome tymes! That’s where tha home videoz start & they started fa me, back on March 12, 1999! Crazy tymes…!
 
58:11: Oh, geez, here comes tha “brawl” of change…? So, 2007 was tha SCC’s final album & 2007 was also tha year my Louisiana connection started (October 11^th). My Rating: 4.3
 
 
09. “DJ & Radio” (59:31 – 1:05:45)
>>>
 
1:00:11: Okay, okay; we’re goin’ to tha radio life…! Also, diggin’ tha naming of tha Baton Rouge people, too!
 
1:02:25: Nice ta hear about Max 94.1’s start…
 
1:02:36: J-Tweezy’s pants really blends in with tha color of tha background! Unexpected parallelness? Likin’ tha talkin’ of tha DJs, in reference to tha station… S/O Kool DJ Supa Mike & Bootsie checkin’ in…!
 
1:05:24: S/O to DJ Scrap & I’m diggin’ tha shoes in tha background! My Rating: 4.1
 
 
10. “Max Minelli” (1:05:45 – 1:17:18)
>>>
 
1:06:05: Interestin’ shit outside tha club; sad that Max was misjudged tha wrong way! Glad Max shinin’, tho!
 
1:07:17: Yeah, Max; continue bringin’ that leadership, even tho they came with hardshits…!
 
1:08:53: While seein’ Max name his albums in a chronologic order, I pause to think that there were more albums b4 I’m All I Got: Minelli World (2001) & Minelli World 2 (2002). I’ve had them for nine years & have yet to review ‘em. It’s just, when I asked Max tha names of tha tracks, he ain’t know ‘em. I may have to schedule myself to come to B.R. & have him relisten to ‘em & see, ya feel me?! It sucks that Max deals with “mental health issues.” That’s how I feel with my Asperger’s Syndrome, at tymes; luckily, all tha THC helps benefit my issues!
 
1:10:12: Lol @ “Badd Nerves” as “Nerves Badd”, Max! That almost reminds me of some shit that ain’t tha same: “Wuzzam, bitch?!” vs. “Bitch, wuzzam?!” Like, tha two sentence examples don’t create tha same tone. With that bein’ said, lol @ Max sayin’ “Nerves Badd” for “Badd Nerves”… Damn @ tha “collapsed lung” shit, too; ouch, Max!
 
1:11:31: “Find Me A Freak”: Max was tha 5^th artist from Baton Rouge I eva heard, on March 23, 2006 @ 9:24 PM, when “Find Me A Freak” premiered on Music Choice Rap! Other B.R. artists I heard b4 Max? Big Head & Mouse, on July 6, 2005 (Webbie’s Savage Life); Webbie, on April 1, 2005 @ 6:07 PM (“Give Me That”) & Boosie, on February 12, 2005 (“Baby Mama”)! Facts!
 
1:11:42: Oh, The Remedy! I was just thinkin’ at work, as “U Gotta Luv Me Baby” played through my head & I was like, “Damn, that song iz 14 years-old, already! Like, tha age I’m at, now, iz four years older than when Max dropped ‘U Gotta Luv Me Baby’!” Damn @ Koch, tho, tryna snatch your longevity & long-lasting leadership!
 
1:13:05: Oh, boy, Dead Game!
 
1:14:31: It sux when you lose some1 real close; I don’t really like speakin’ on tha subject ‘cause I feel like it brings depressed vibes outta people. However, I will say that thankfully, my mom has gotten thru her breast cancer/chemo bullshit & iz on tha way to fully shakin’ back! Tha whole tyme, from December 11, 2020 – now, it’s all about prayers but most importantly, tha determination, consistency & positivity to pull through anything you goin’ thru!
 
1:15:36: Funny how Mikki Gunz made “Feelings” a year ago, basically, havin’ tha hook based off of Max Minelli’s shit from years & years b4…
 
1:16:16: Awesome feelin’ ta be with Sway; gotta keep scorin’! Nice outro vibe of Max Minelli’s part, too! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
11. “Outro & Credits” (1:17:18 – 1:24:07)
>>>
 
1:17:21: Looks like it’s ending? A look at tha Rouge? Yeah, J-Tweezy; it’s all about tha amount of history in such a small city! I feel like that with myself, as I generated a lot of history in such tha small house I stay at. Also, shout out to Savage for appearin’ in his own interview, randomly.
 
1:17:59: How in tha hell all them together in a room like dat? Aren’t we tryna find tha unity? Don’t I have tha power to get err-body together in a room?
 
1:18:15: Oh, God, tha YoungBoy era! Coming soon to a Diamonds In The Dirt near you!! Everybody, drop what you’re doin’, even if it’s a funeral, smh! It finna be YoungBoy tyme!! Good grief, lol!
 
1:18:40: I like that: “high energy street music,” via C-Loc. Every night, while I’m at work, or even just in my daily life, I channel err-body from Baton Rouge’s energy into my own! Tha response I get from people iz as if I have unlimited energy, sometimes! Even durin’ this review; I hit my pen & almost thought I wasn’t gonna make it through tha review. However, I didn’t even stop to eat & just had ta finish it ‘cause there’s only 90 minutes left of 225 Day!
 
1:18:45: Ain’t realize who dat was, at first; S/O to Mouse! Now that I’m finally movin’ around, Mouse & I should finally meet up! Mouse, I know that was your goal four dayz after you turned 30; on October 23, 2014, you tweeted me, “man I appreciate you so much my G! Hopefully one day I get to meet u soon and kick it with you. Much love and appreciation!,” after I wished him a Happy Birthday outta scratch-off lottery tickets. With that bein’ said, can we wish for a BIG event for Mouse & I, one day?!
 
1:19:11: Yeah! Luv tha 225 Slang 101 w/Max Minelli goin’ on!
 
1:19:57: BJ…!
 
1:20:41: Awesome rhymin’, in a narration/spoken-word flow, with tha Diamonds In The Dirt definition!
 
1:20:56: Luvin’ how tha credits are scrollin’ & B.R. music iz playin’ in tha background! That’s tha way ta do it!
 
1:22:23: After seein’ all tha artist/titles come up, it makes me think of my credits. I actually list ‘em, too & on anotha screen, I list tha label info of all tha songs.
 
1:22:46: Interestin’ to see tha whole list of tha Special Thanks! It’s like lookin’ at an old yearbook or somethin’ with these names! Makes me feel a lil’ uncomfortable ‘cause 11 of tha names either had unexpected beef wit me, hit a lick on me or owe me. None of tha 11 came up in this review but for tha next review, there may be some parts I may have to either skip or not leave feedback on.
 
1:22:49: Luv seein’ my name! People tend to have trouble spellin’ it, tho. “FrankieThaLuckyDog” iz tha real spelling, from November 4, 2002; other spellings I’ve seen were “Frankie The Lucky Dog” (like tha credits), “Frankie Tha Lucky Dog” & “FrankieTheLuckyDog”. In tha end, it’s “FrankieThaLuckyDog” but I recognize tha shout-out!
 
1:23:02: Nice ta see tha R.I.P. section; I know there’s a few I would add but for now, one that I can think off tha top of my head, Big Fancy! Glad he believed in me, durin’ those younger tymes of mine!
 
1:24:00: Luv tha Greg Dukes part, again, with tha “trunk” & tha “bmmm-bmmm-bmmm-bmmm!” My Rating: 4.8
 
 
Overall: Even tho this ain’t tha whole Diamonds In The Dirt, it still hit 100% home fa me, courtesy of tha B.R. history! Luv all tha artists I grew up to, makin’ me channel they energy into tha dude I am till this day! I thought tha editing was dope; some same-shot parts had jump-cuts & there were a few audio-pops but I give y’all props fa makin’ somethin’ like this! I was excited ta see that I made tha film, in tha credits. I can’t imagine what people had to say about me; I’m lucky I made just about two stacks durin’ my 15-year Louisiana connection. That ain’t enough ta pay shit! I hope I do get recognized more; some people are recognizin’ me but I think I deserve ta have what a legend has: financial & respected success! With that bein’ said, I can’t wait ta see tha next Diamonds In The Dirt & I give major props ta err-body that contributed to this!

FTLD Presents "Baton Rouge Jackin' 4 Trax"

I made this video in honor of Lafayette, LA producer, Mikki Gunz's birthday, today.

Bein' a Louisiana supporter since October 11, 2007, I done been around a lot of history. Some history I've been around includes what I like to call "jackin' 4 trax," where someone makes a track & then, a similar new track iz made by someone else.

Tha examples I talk about include:
• T-Lo "All Day" (2007) vs. Derty feat. Lil' Boosie "Uh Oh" (2008)
• Ville Boyz "Straight Stupid" (2009) vs. Lil' Phat & Webbie "Roof" (2010)
• Killa McClain & Hollyhood Bay Bay "It's Up There" (2020) vs. WNC Whop Bezzy "It's Up" (2020)

"All Day" & "Uh Oh" were both produced by Shonta;
"Straight Stupid" & "Roof" were both produced by DJ B-Real;
"It's Up There" & "It's Up" were both produced by Mikki Gunz.

Yesterday, which was tha day b4 Mikki Gunz's birthday, Baton Rouge underground rapper, WNC Whop Bezzy, dropped tha new track, "It's Up". However, throughout this year, Louisiana's Killa McClain & Hollyhood Bay Bay already had tha radioz & streetz buzzin' wit "It's Up There". I had already been supportin' "It's Up There" fa a minute, includin' that I have an upcoming commercial series promoting tha track comin' up on Sunday, November 1st. I felt that by Whop Bezzy doin' what he did behind "It's Up There"'s back had to be advised.

Review #1,429: D-So "Da Ghetto Hero"

Reviewed on 1.30.2015 (Review #1,429)

Keepin’ this goin’ wit anotha review for tha day: D-So Da Ghetto Hero; pretty excited ta hear this one! Shout out to Baton Rouge Music Company (BRMC), Money Makers Entertainment, Money & Power Records, etc.! Start Time: 6:50 PM | End Time: 7:45 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!

EDIT: Just found tha back cover after I reviewed this whole entire thing, so there gon be some additions to parts where I wasn’t sure what was what…

01. BRMC Exclusive

A nice four seconds… >>> DeTrane! My Rating: N/A

02. Intro

LOL, more introductions… >>> Nice beat from Shonta; thought it would just be talkin’… My Rating: N/A

03. “Act A Sho” feat. Mookie Blakk

Ooh, Jiggalaters style, here…! Produced by Young Hits & Shonta! >>> LOL, what was up with tha beginning? It sounded like it came from a different CD… This sounds like it’s from 2003, like tha Da G.A.N.G. CD or somethin’… Anyway, I ain’t get to review that CD, yet, but I have to say, this that quality, right chea!! Feelin’ tha Baton Rouge beat with Mookie in tha intro! Also, you on tha 1^st verse, here, throwin’ dat “act” right on ‘em! What tha…? Did it just cut off? What just happened? Oh, it was only 1:08; nice for a tease! My Rating: 4.6

04. “How I’m Feeling Right Now” feat. Mookie Blakk
Kinda shot… Can’t wait for next Saturday! Gon go to NY & get fulla dat shit again!! >>> A Young Hits beat, here (only one on tha back cover to not have production credit…); diggin’ tha beat, as it reminds me of Shonta! Great sound, here, includin’ tha hook! Gotta luv how you comin’ through on tha 1^st verse: “‘Bauds out tha cleaner;” you already know!! I still wear mine; only true Gs like us wear Girbauds, still!! They neva age!! Fuck all those clothes dat err-body wears that’s for normal people that you can find anywhere! It’s all about tha gangsta clothes like dem ‘Bauds! Nice job wit tha 1^st verse, “how” you luv your life! And, just like you said, “It’s ’09…,” accordin’ ta this, lol. Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse, and you sound tight, once again! Gotta luv how you comin’ through wit tha energy; can’t wait to party witchu one day!! It gon happen sooner or later! Can neva be sober; gotta always have some shit ta give you a boost, ya feel me?! Still can’t believe I ate a weed cookie a few weeks ago; talk about wildin’ out!! Oh, and, Mookie Blakk on tha 3^rd verse (not listed on tha feature); gotta luv his energy! It’s all about tha positive shit, here, not tha shit that made me fade away from Louisiana for a while (niggaz blockin’ and not acceptin’ my promotion)! Always keep dat jigg sound alive!! My Rating: 4.7

05. “Do It Like I Do It” feat. T-Lo

Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this Jiggalaters collaboration! Wonder how T-Lo’s doin’ and if he knows about me? I have neva talked to him, before… >>> Ooh @ tha start; sounds like tha Baton Rouge shit that really got me goin’, back in tha day!! Nice shit with tha “I know…!!” Gotta luv T-Lo on tha hook and how y’all combine y’allselves on tha track, together! Gotta luv tha 1^st verse, too!! Keep reppin’ hard wit dis shit!! LOL, I love how you say, “Party,” and, “Retawded;” you know!! And, here he iz on tha 2^nd verse; pure 225 / jiggalatin’ shit at its finest!! Hope he still doin’ good and stayin’ consistent, without a private Instagram, if he has one!! “X-Fyle on tha track;” thanx fa dat info, T-Lo! Gotta luv this quality, once again!! “I’m tha best when I do it;” you know!! My Rating: 4.8

EDIT: Back cover says Z-Man’s on tha feature and not T-Lo? I’m confused…?

06. “Jiggalate” feat. Sam I Am
Keep it goin’, keep it goin’!! >>> Nice intro; sounds like a throwback track! Can’t wait to review that Da Jiggalaters Vol. 1 CD or whateva it iz, soon! It gon be a long while till I get to it; got so much shit to get outta my way, first! But yeah, I know this song; I think I put this on my radio show? Anyway, gotta luv tha hook that’s dedicated to “tha jiggalaters,” courtesy of Sam I Am! And, you on tha verse, here; just luv your Master P voice in a Baton Rouge perspective! Great shit, you know! Great collab!! And, nice beat, X & Shonta!! My Rating: 4.8

07. “Ain’t No Secret” feat. Sam I Am

Featuring Sam I Am, right? Not listed on here, lol… Lil’ Nu Nu on tha beat! Yeah, neva “dead;” tha “Jigg City” sound stays alive! However, one thing I have to disagree with: Big Scoob’s Instagram’s private; what kinda shit’s that? Artists need to have music pages again, instead of havin’ their music name and havin’ shit private! It’s like, did they give up? Anyway, beat’s real nice, here, fa this vibe and tha hook’s nice! Gotta keep this shit alive! Here you are on tha 1^st verse and it sounds pretty nice; great, ageless voice ta hold this down! Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice, too; keep it goin’, bruh!! Of course, once again, gotta luv tha hook! “Blowin’ loud;” all day!! Get ta smoke wit tha chicks, now! And, here’s Sam on tha 3^rd verse; glad y’all keepin’ dis Jiggalaters shit alive! Gotta always be connected and neva separated from makin’ music! Of course, great aggression and jigg’d up, as always!! My Current Rating: 4.6

08. “Smile Baby” feat. Lemelo & AD Future

Back cover says, “Hottest Thang Out Here,” as its title… X-Fyle on tha beat… You already know I do a lotta smilin’ while I’m high! >>> A lil’ softer, here, as well as a long length of 4:47? I’ono if I can fuck wit this, includin’ this gay-soundin’ Kanye voice in tha background of tha beginning… Anyway, let’s see how tha verses go… Tha hook’s first, and it’s aight… Sounds good from you on tha 1^st verse, as always, but I can’t take tha background vocals, at all…! LOL @ “her like flies on shit;” fa’real!! Prolly could’ve been right under tha 4.0 if there were no gay background vocals, but not everythang gon be perfect in a review… Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad, here; you can make a love song good, at least… LOL, a feature on tha 3^rd verse? Not sure who this iz, so I can’t give ‘em credit? Almost sounds like I know who they are… As far as this verse, it’s decent… My Rating: 3.3

½time: A lil’ iffy with tha song I just listened to, but for tha most part, this CD’s that pure fiya I was expectin’!! Glad you keepin’ dat jigg sound alive, as always! Those tha anthems I really luv and that’s tha environment I’ve always embraced with Baton Rouge and shit like dat, since I was 19! With that bein’ said, this CD’s worth a 4.5 fa me, so far!! Keep up tha great, loyal features and production!!!

09. “Lift Up Off Ground”

Without tha “The,” lol… >>> X-Fyle doin’ tha beat, here, and tha sample/intro sounds pretty anticipatin’!! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s real nice, especially ova this beat!! Luvin’ this unique beat, includin’ its dark theme!! Great job droppin’ this shit; keep this shit goin’!! Nice lil’ talkin’ interlude on tha 2^nd hook, here; get it off yo mind!! Ooh, good, a 2^nd verse; almost thought it wasn’t gon fit… This verse sounds good, too; can’t deny it… My Rating: 4.5

10. “Life Of A Jiggalater” feat. Sam I Am, T-Lo & Big Scoob

I always choose to spell it like “Jiggalater,” not “Jiggalator,” lol… Anyway, a title like this gets me anticipated; can’t wait to hear! >>> Here comes that Shonta sound in tha beginning; whoot, whoot, whoot!! “I’m rollin’;” yeah!! Sounds like some throwback-kinda Baton Rouge music, here; gotta luv it!! Nice hook; keep “rollin’,” dawg!! “Chewin’ like a billy goat;” lol, great way ta start tha 1^st verse off! Nice rhymes, here; gotta engage in dem fights!! Ooh, Sam I Am came outta nowhere fa tha 2^nd verse!! Sometimes, moments like this iz why I luv when features are not listed; it’s a nice surprise!! LOL @ tha “Tylenol” reference, Sam; you know!! Iz dat T-Lo on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 2^nd verse? Sounds like it; fuckin’ love him and what he brings!! “I will neva retire;” please, don’t!! Always stay active, despite me almost neva hearin’ you make tracks, that much…! LOL, mo Baton Rouge features on tha 3^rd verse, here; not 100% sure who it iz… It either one of those Jiggalaters or someone else… LOL @ my confusion; gotta luv tha jigg perspective they bringin’ to tha table!! Sounds like Boonie? LOL, neva mind, it’s “Big Scoob;” grazie!! Almost wanna put Da Jiggalaters as tha feature, but I’ll leave it as everyone’s names. Once again, nice appearance, Big Scoob, but unprivate your IG!! B-Real ruined it fa err-body wit dat shit and I just wanna poke fun at artists fa doin’ that!! Also, you gotta take a trip up ta see me!! Too bad you ain’t make it before my radio show ended, three years ago! It made me feel like my show wasn’t worth what it was, and made me feel better that my show ended… My Rating: 4.6

11. “Wake Up”

“How may I wake up your Friday?” That’s what I was sayin’ 100x today, earlier at work! Gotta luv how I built a reputation off of dat and my energy! >>> X-Fyle on tha beat, here; sounds like a hot beat intro…! Ooh, a lil’ on tha faster side with tha kicks, too, in tha beginning! “Take a nice shit…;” that’s what’s up! That’s what I did during tha Baton Rouge Music Company review, yesterday! Gotta be real as much as you can, without any shame!! Gotta luv dat original hook; keep it goin’!! Tha 1^st verse sounds great, here; nice, consistent rhymes! Oh wait, only one verse, lol? Still sounds great; would’ve luved to hear more of tha hook, though… My Rating: 4.5

12. “Real-Ass Nigga” feat. Lil’ Boonie & Nu$$ie

I remember this one from a while back… Reviewed it all tha way back in ’08 on tha Featuring Nu$$ie CD, despite it actually bein’ from ’06. LOL, no features listed on this CD’s appearance of this song and spelled “Niga,” instead; lol? Produced by Z-Man, here’s what I had to say, back in ’08:

“Dude in tha beginning wit all that “ya heard me” shit just goes to show you Baton Rouge in tha building, ya heard me! Pretty nice start so far wit that hook and that not-so-bad beat. Tha 1^st verse on this was nice; love tha underground sound!! I’m hearin’ that Boonie on tha 2^nd verse now… I barely heard him so I didn’t know what to expect his voice to sound like. He sounds cool and I guess he’s tough/trill if “he lets his nuts hang” without givin’ a fuck; great 2^nd verse and once again, lovin’ this underground shit! Good, it’s *imitates him* “Nu$$ie!!” on tha 3^rd verse! I like that “you don’t know me, so I ain’t dappin’ you” part. Great verse and I’m likin’ those “card” parts at tha end of his verse. Great lil’ combo here!”

At tha time, I only rated this a 4.1. I don’t think I really appreciated Louisiana as much, at tha time. Song’s way better, to this day! Beat’s pure from Z-Man and you bring that Baton Rouge sound to it at all times! Just gotta luv how you have 100% Baton Rouge in you!! My favorite place for rap; don’t wanna regret it, despite me dealin’ with issues, currently! As far as Nu$$ie, once again, I feel like him at my job. It’s like, if I was to die like him, I know my job’ll always think of me every single day!! My Current Rating: 4.7

13. “Tell Me” feat. Lil’ Variste

LOL, production listed in tha ID, here (X-Fyle); let’s see what we got here… >>> Soundin’ pretty nice wit tha beginning beat, here! Nice hook, D-So! “Yes, I go dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb!!” You know!! Nice job wit tha 1^st verse, too; definitely jammin’ ova this beat, ya heard me?! And, tha 2^nd verse’s nice, too; just luvin’ this beat!! So much energy in all those sounds!! X can surprise you, at times!! A feature on tha 3^rd verse, here, from “Fairfield;” I’ono who it iz, but they sound tight! Feelin’ tha aggression in tha voice! Sounds like a 2010s jiggalater for Da Jiggalaters or somethin’! Consistent energy!! Consistent aggression!! Consistent jiggalatin’!! Consistent, pure fiya!!! My Rating: 4.7

14. “I’m Coming Thru” feat. Lil’ Koon, Lil’ Boonie & Big Scoob

Oh, now, we have everything listed? X-Fyle on tha beat; interestin’ collab! Don’t recall if I’ve eva heard Z spit, before… >>> This X-Fyle beat’s a lil’ slower, but prolly more street sounding? Still has that Baton Rouge vibe to it… You’re on tha 1^st verse, here, and it sounds pretty nice; glad you “got tha game from tha OGs!” Tha hook sounds pretty good; reminds me of a random Baton Rouge song I would review… Boonie on tha 2^nd verse? I don’t think; I think it Z-Man, despite me not knowin’ tha voice… It just makes me think it’s him and it sounds pretty hot; great shit! Keep makin’ pure tracks!! LOL, tha 3^rd verse, here (Boonie?); lol, I’m confused again! Either way, this shit’s definitely nice!! “On dem jiggaz;” gotta luv it! Oh, more switchin’? Wow, a 2^nd part of tha 3^rd verse, and it’s supa-fast!! Definitely sounds nice wit these fast rhymes!! Can anybody keep up, lol?! And, a long beat outro, here… My Rating: 4.5

EDIT: Feature on tha DatPiff file says Z-Man’s featured, instead of Big Scoob? I’m confused again, lol…?

15. “Gobblin’” feat. T-Lo & Lil’ Boonie

*Imitates gobbling sounds* LOL! BTW, “Goblin” has only one “B” in it, but I gon keep tha two “B”s ‘cause of gobbling = “Gobblin’,” with an apostrophe, lol… >>> A long joint with 5:05 on tha length… I like hearin’ your, “Okay,” in tha beginning; gets me hyped up! Heard a “Cadillac” tag or somethin’ from a female? Anyway, definitely diggin’ this hook as it’s just a “Gobbler” sample on tha hook, lol… LOL, iz that Lil’ Wayne and his “goblin,” lol? Funny… Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some G-shit; gotta luv it! “And, if you violate a G, you get a visitation;” yessir!! Ooh, “Mr. ‘All Day’,” a.k.a. T-Lo’s voice before tha 2^nd verse!! What’s his Facebook name, if he has one? Hearin’ him on tha 2^nd verse and “lyrically, [he squashes] ‘em;” whoo!! Mane, you gotta luv this dude!! He definitely makes this jigg sound sound real nice, with a gangsta twist!! Definitely worth my five minutes, here! Uh oh, anotha voice… Did I catch it right? I gon say it’s Boonie; sounds like it… Here he iz on tha 3^rd verse and it’s pretty nice; iz he still locked up? LOL, as soon as I wrote, “Lil’ Boonie,” on tha feature, here, he said his name; you know!! Can’t wait ta kick it wit y’all, one day!! And, he confirmed: “Z-Man on this track;” dope!! Great collaboration, once again; y’all definitely did a nice job!! Oh, and tha beat tag at tha end gave it away, too… My Rating: 4.7

16. “Livin’ That Life”

Yeah! AD Future beat… >>> Sounds like a nice vibe, here; a lil’ slower than tha usual vibe, which makes me take more interest, for tha moment… Tha hook sounds pretty good, here… Here you are on tha 1^st verse, jumpin’ “off tha porch at 15;” nice. You doin’ a nice job wit tha 1^st verse, here; keep this shit goin’! Got you on tha 2^nd verse, here, “certified hard hitta;” you know!! My Rating: 4.3

17. “On My Mind”

Yup… Koon On Da Beat beat… >>> Definitely a nice beat start with a random voice that sounds familiar in tha background, here… Even though this sounds nice, this tha kinda shit that kinda poisoned tha rap game, fa me (“money”-obsessed shit). I got robbed twice from BR artists; after November 17, 2011, it was a wrap fa “money” shit, fa’real! I feel like I got raped or somethin’, but don’t care now ‘cause I’m a big, walking middle finga ‘cause of gettin’ taken advantage of! Anyway, you got a good 1^st verse, here; it ain’t that bad, despite this content… Tha 2^nd verse sounds pretty good, too. Props on havin’ a lotta valuables, at least… My Rating: 4.1

Overall: Other than #8, I really enjoyed this CD a whole lot!! You had your Jiggalaters family on here and tha production was definitely A+ and pure, as always!! You really doin’ a great job wit keepin’ dat pure jigg sound alive fa tha 225!! Fuck what all these otha dickridin’ dudes thinkin’ about dick-suckin’ Mista Cain and all dat! Bein’ a music leader and all dat, I’ve always showed luv to those that don’t get a super-crazy amount of recognition. Mista may be undaground and all dat, but there’s way too much attention on him, which makes me have a lower chance of puttin’ my attention toward him; he’s got others! Anyway, don’t listen to what people wanna criticize you for! You’re 12 ½ years younger than tha chick I get high, smoke & hang with, so think: You ain’t agin’ any time soon, D-So!! Keep up tha great work!! I’ono what else ta say, but you definitely made me continue to embrace tha Baton Rouge sound, no matter what I’m goin’ through!!

Already up ta my 4^th review for today even though I have a lil’ bit of allergies. :(  Again, thanx fa dis, Justin. Dis iz Lil’ Domicci “Hurricane, Sugarcane, Cocaine Vol. 2 (Hosted by DJ Chill)”! Anotha Vol. 2 before hearin’ Vol. 1, lol. But, Vol. 1’s on cdbaby.com and that’s a plus. This iz tha 1^st time I’m hearin’ dis Thibodaux native; let’s see how it goes!

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): Justin via mail

01. DJ Chill Intro

Let’s do tha damn thang here!! >>> Nice lil’ intro introducin’ who and where he from! My Rating: N/A

02. “War” Feat. Little

Looks interestin’. Not a Lil’ but a Little dude, lol. Time ta start tha trax off!! >>> Sounds real nice here; DEFINITE “Tha Louisiana Pit” music!! Good-ass hook and beat as well as tha 1^st verse soundin’ tight, too! :tu Definitely feelin’ tha content here, hence tha title “War”, ya dig? I like tha “Micci” shit in tha 2^nd verse; “Micci” err-thang, lol! I’m feelin’ tha “throw ya sets up” shit afta tha 3^rd hook! My Rating: 4.6

03. “Gutta Shit” Feat. Magnolia Chop

Looks like it finna be anotha good collab! >>> Sounds a lil’ like mumblin’ in tha beginning for a while… This iz aight; I rather hear you throughout tha whole thang, Micci… Chop’s startin’ ta sound a lil’ gay wit tha voice, now… Good, just you on tha 2^nd verse. Still an aight song… My Rating: 3.6

04. “Streets Callin’” Feat. Loco

Iz this Locco wit two “C”’s from Bad Azz Ent.? Let’s see what’s up wit dis one… >>> This has a hotter sound to tha start! “Fresh up out tha perish”; you were in jail? Consistent rappin’ here in tha 1^st verse; nice job!! Tha hook’s catchy; definitely hot shit here! Almost sounds like (I think) Skip from UTP on dis shit, hence your label name, Utopia Entertainment, lol. I think this iz just a Loco dude that’s not affiliated wit Boosie. Thought it was gonna be a minute outro but it’s a TIGHT 3^rd verse!! Good outro wit a phone call plus tha “bruh” shit! :tu My Rating: 4.3

05. “Out My Body” Feat. Derty

Yay!!! Shit yea!!! >>> A blend of tha last joint inta dis one… Ooh, a Shonta beat? Did he jack anotha one of his beats for you or iz it bound ta happen, knowin’ him… This shit’s nice; gives me a nice T-Lo feel here. :tu Huh, what iz this? This sounds like a completely different song (will prolly see it later in tha tracklisting) and doesn’t sound like Derty on tha feature… Tha hook’s definitely catchy; what iz this? Good 2^nd verse from you, doin’ tha damn thang. My Rating: 4.3

06. “Lil’ Momma” Feat. Foxx

Shout out ta Foxx fa comin’ ta Shutdown Thursdays in Baton Rouge yesterday!! Let’s see what dis gon sound like… >>> Ooh, a B-Real beat; how do you get ta talk ta him when he ignores people? Likin’ this beat (of course) and tha hook’s definitely catchy wit a lot ta offer fa a female-type song. LOL, tons of shit goin’ on here in tha 1^st verse; definitely enjoyin’ it! Interestin’ 2^nd verse from Foxx, doin’ his thang. “Put my penis where it go at;” ROFL? LOL, you feelin’ good on tha 3^rd verse here. My Rating: 4.4

07. “Arm Robbery” Feat. Nu$$ie

Interestin’ collaboration… >>> Too bad it’s an “Independent” beat; I dunno if I can slide dis on my radio show (not to play jacked beats). Tha 1^st verse iz Nu$$ie and it’s on an interestin’ tip here; good shit. I think I may be able ta slide dis into a radio show—specifically, my Nu$$ie Tribute Show dat I usually do. Nice 2^nd verse, too; sounds like an actual “robbery”, lol. My Rating: 4.2

½time: DEFINITELY a NICE lil’ mixtape here; good shit, my boy! So far, you’re lookin’ at a 4.2-rated CD!

08. “Gettin’ It How We Live” Feat. Vicious & Nu$$ie

LOL, anotha Nu$$ie feature? Maybe dis one can automatically enter my radio show instead? >>> Sounds good wit Vicious in it; that’s a plus. Tha hook’s pretty nice; good shit here! Definitely interestin’ ta have both Vicious and Nu$$ on a joint together wit you! You’re doin’ a nice job here on tha 2^nd verse, goin’ nuts, lol. Speakin’ of Nu$$ on tha 3^rd verse, most times when I go through tha PAC at my college, I see a “DCF” license plate; sometimes I can’t resist but ta record tha plates! Good contribution, Nu$$. My Rating: 4.3

09. “Talkin’ Dat Shit” Feat. GMC
>>> Sounds like a good intro from DJ Chill and a nice beat together! Tha 1^st verse’s pretty nice; good “shit”, lol. Tha hook’s soundin’ nice, too. Not bad on tha 2^nd verse here… Tha 3^rd verse sounds a lil’ betta… Good job wit tha two of y’all collaboratin’. My Rating: 3.9

10. “Bye, Bye, Bye” Feat. Yung Pimp

Let’s hear dis one! >>> What a gay start; why iz this here? This iz not mixtape material! Even worse: it’s 4:31! My Rating: 2.4

11. “R.I.P. Milli Beat”

What iz goin’ on here? :confused >>> Unlike tha last song, at least dis iz under 1:10! Really low interest, no matter what year we’re in! Good rappin’; dat’s all. I have ta deduct for tha choice of beat, though, ‘cause it’s my review! My Rating: 3.3

12. “Respect My Mind”

>>> Sounds like we’re headed to tha jacked-beat route. At least this ain’t all dat gay. Crazy rappin’ here; good job! My Rating: 3.7

13. “Mind Right” Feat. Taze

>>> Sounds like a catchy hook… Crazy 2^nd verse goin’ on here, too! My Rating: 4.1

14. “Girl U Know”

I guess tha last song wasn’t an exact jacked beat fa me ‘cause of tha feature. Now, we’re back to them again… >>> Good rappin’, regardless. My Rating: 3.5

15. “Neva Made It”

Ending song… >>> No wonder why this iz tha ending song; not for me at all. My Rating: 2.2

Overall: Pretty good start and kinda got wobbly toward tha end… Why did it say dat Derty was featured on #5? Who was tha female?
