Review #516: Rock M.F. "The Rock Project"
Reviewed on 6.13.2010 (Review #516)
Keepin’ shit poppin’, my 6th review fa today iz Rock M.F., who I just heard on Killa C’s “Static” CD. This right chea iz “The Rock Project”; lemme check it out! Start Time: 10:25 PM | End Time: 11:06 PM
Quick Note: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!! I only please myself wit my ratings!! I don’t care how lyrical you are! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings (if a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much REALLY LOVE it as it’s considered “mindblowin’” when I hear it) so any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song. Anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it.

01. Intro
Let’s do dis thang… >>> Sounds good. You sound catchy and tha beat’s cool… My Rating: N/A
02. “Let The Track Breed”
I wonder what this “breed”in’ iz… >>> Tha beat start sounds real hot but only 2:16 on tha length? Afta like 40 seconds, here’s tha 1st verse and I’m likin’ tha start ta it: “Smoke green,” ya dig! LOL @ tha “fuck you” ad-lib! Tha 1st verse sounds good and you keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse; just LUVIN’ dis beat right chea!!! You REALLY representin’!! My Rating: 4.4
03. “Mad At Me”
I’m likin’ this title so I might get lucky wit hearin’ dis shit! >>> Wow, LUVIN’ tha bassline/rhythm for tha start of tha beat!!! Str8 CATCHY as a ma’fucka so far!!! I’m likin’ tha style fa undaground Louisiana Rap music and tha hook sounds good; who would be “mad at you???” Tha 2nd verse has cool rhymes on this beat… Tha 3rd verse iz “hot like gumbo” fa a start here; you said it! Tha end of tha 3rd verse’s REAL, REAL HOT!! “Lyrical typhoon!!”
My Rating: 4.4
04. “Voltron” Feat. Daywun
Shit, yea, tha Daywun dude’s here!!! REALLY lookin’ forward ta hearin’ dis, ya heard me!!! >>> Damn, only 2:11 on tha length? Hope y’all REALLY do it BIG though!! Tha hook’s cool; I like how you represent fa it! Ooh, tha Daywun dude’s on tha 1st verse; good-ass shit! You’re hoppin’ onta tha 2nd part right chea and it sounds good… Shit, yea, Daywun on tha 3rd part, “splittin’ a check!” You’re on tha 4th part wit dat “fiya!” Shit, yea, a 5th part from Daywun, spittin’ some good shit about tha streetz! You’re on tha 6th part and you DEFINITELY “don’t lay down fa nothin’!!” Tight shit!! Daywun’s on tha 7th part and he spittin’ some HOT “school” shit! LOL, seven parts? I would think eight but it was 28 bars total. My Rating: 4.3
05. “Cash Rules”
Looks typical; let’s see what’s good… >>> Yea, kinda typical wit a play off tha “C.R.E.A.M.” hook; not bad on tha soundin’ though… Not bad wit tha rappin’ on tha 1st verse; you holdin’ it down… Tha 2nd verse’s holdin’ it down too… I like tha lil’ bridge; sounded almost familiar too… This sounds like some good, undaground Hip-Hop dat would play at my college in 2003… My Rating: 3.9
06. “Battle Me”
Ooh, you settin’ up a field, lol! >>> Oh, so dat’s what tha M.F. stands fa: Matta Fack Muzic; I feel ya! Tha beat sounds good here fa tha undaground tip and tha hook’s pretty good. Tha 1st verse has some gangsta shit goin’ on here; good job showin’ tha streetz what chu like! Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ it on a good level once again; nice job here. My Rating: 3.8
07. “Move” Feat. Daywun
DAYWUN AGAIN!!! >>> Tha beat’s aight and this iz pretty short too… I think dat’s you on tha 1st verse here and it’s aight… Sounds like Daywun’s in tha background at times! Pretty good so far and Daywun’s holdin’ down tha 2nd verse; such a BIG DAWG!!! He did his thang on dis; I’m feelin’ his attitude when he raps! He must way at least 200 pounds, lol!! My Rating: 4.2
½time: This sounds pretty good so far, ya dig! Nice job deliverin’ this HOT shit, includin’ tha features!! Tha average CD rating’s at 4.2 right now; keep it up!
08. “Same O’le Shit”
LOL @ how tha title looks; let’s see… >>> Kinda sader on tha start here; just an okay beat for me. You did an aight job wit tha rappin’ too… Tha hook’s startin’ ta become catchy too… My Rating: 3.4
09. “Official” Feat. Yno & Killa C
This looks like it gon be a GR8 collab!! >>> Oh, I heard this Vybe beat 2x already at least (tha “Separate Ways” sample one); this one sounds pretty good wit how y’all deliverin’ tha hook though. You’re on tha 1st verse, “presidential status!” Nice job wit tha hook and I’m likin’ how you presentin’ tha hook once again; gr8 flow! Here’s tha 2nd verse; it must be Yno since he’s 1st on tha feature. LOL, he has a good character here! I really like how he sounded towards tha end of tha verse; definitely gr8 ta be family!! Let’s see how my big dawg Killa C does on tha 3rd verse!! He spittin’ dat gangsta shit; thumbs up ta him bein’ featured too! My Rating: 4.3
10. “Yea”
LOL… >>> This iz an old-ass beat. It’s like 2001ish. Yea, it’s like tha Jaheim “Anything (Remix)”; that’s what it sounds like. It’s okay for a short lil’ freestyle… My Rating: 3.2
11. “Got To Get It” Feat. Gunsmoke & Yno
Let’s see now dat there’s a newbie on this! >>> Okay start; looks like y’all will do ya thang… You doin’ a good job wit tha 1st verse, ya dig… Dat newbie (Gunsmoke)’s on tha 2nd verse and he sounds cool; anotha gr8 M.F. artist! Now, it’s Yno on tha 3rd verse, bringin’ his character ta tha table! Anotha verse from him dat gets BETTA towards tha end!! My Rating: 4.1
12. “Matta Fack Muzic” Feat. Sleepy, Bear, Yno & Daywun
Iz this tha Sleepy I know wit Already Ent.? Let’s see this BIG collab!! >>> Yea, DEFINITELY representin’ in tha beginning!! Cool ta hear this Sleepy in tha beginning; good shit! He sounds good on tha 1st verse wit his lil’ content; doin’ it for tha streetz!! This beat’s okay/good and makes me care more about tha rappin’ this time! Tha 2nd verse (or next part; not sure if a hook came up) sounds pretty good; this must be Bear! He sounds like a “bear,” lol, ‘cause he pretty gutta wit how he delivers his shit also wit his voice! Tha Yno dude must be next; he doin’ his thang again!! A shitload o’ gangsta shit comin’ from him!! I can just imagine how GR8 Daywun gon be on dis!! Pretty good shit goin’ on here in tha 4th part! I’m likin’ how it’s bein’ presented! Good job from Daywun and now, you’re last right chea, Rock. Pretty good, representin’… My Rating: 4.3
13. “Someone Like Me” Feat. Fee
Lemme hear this… >>> Okay start; kinda not catchy wit tha beat start though fa me… Fee went 1st? That was pretty good… Tha 2nd part sounds good… Yea, Fee was on tha 1st part ‘cause he’s on tha 3rd part here, really deliverin’ some real-ass street shit! Definitely focused right chea!! He’s even endin’ this shit! My Rating: 4.0
14. The Best Of M.F.
“The Best Of Killa C” was an intro track and now, this iz an outro track here, lol! >>> Yup, good flashbacks just like Killa C’s mix, although yours iz ova four minutes less, lol. My Rating: N/A
Overall: A gr8 CD from you too! You scored tha same CD rating as Killa C but deeper statistics show dat this was a lil’ betta… Keep up tha gr8 work wit Matta Fack Muzic!!

He sounds good on tha 1st verse wit his lil’ content; doin’ it for tha streetz!! This beat’s okay/good and makes me care more about tha rappin’ this time!

Review #100: Jimmy The DJ "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2: Ghetto Pass (Hosted by Nu$$ie)"
Reviewed
on 7.14.2008
(Review No. 100)
What tha deal iz it's yo boy FrankieThaLuckyDog. Oh my God it has been 20 dayz
since I did my last review (Promo Only Dance Radio July 2008), but most reviews
have been delayed on purpose. Why? 'Cause this review that I'm about to do iz
gonna be my 100th review (yes, a celebration)!! I wanted to make sure it was
gonna be a special CD/mixtape, so what I did was I delayed 14 CDs/mixtapes in
order for me to do this review first (just so it could be tha 100th one).
That's a lot to hold. I'm doin' this for my dawg Jimmy The DJ. That's right, ya
better believe it had to be for someone real special (he's tha person of 2008
in my opinion). I'm gonna be reviewing his 2nd mixtape, "Gangsta Gumbo
Vol. 2: Ghetto Pass (Hosted by Nu$$ie)" right now.
Tha last time I reviewed his mixtape was "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1 (Hosted by
Dee-1)" back on 11.27.2007 (it was Review No. 31). I feel like I bashed on
it a lil' (due to it was a different sound that I had to get used to). I regret
givin' Dee-1's "Priceless" (featuring Zella & La La) a 3.5
rating. That was only a 1st listen. Even tho it had a 3.5 rating from me, it
wound up pullin' approximately (I don't have a correct number currently) 300
spins wit me in 2008!! Anything could happen after a 1st listen! And at tha
time, I pretty much only knew who Lil' Boosie was on tha mixtape. Now I know a
whole lot of people online, I talk to a whole bunch of people and my heart iz
certified in Louisiana
when it comes to a lot of thangz. I'm very glad wit tha status I have right now
and I love that it keeps gettin' better!! I waited 2 weeks for this CD to get
in my mailbox but somehow, it failed to happen. Stupid gay-ass mail!! Since
yesterday, it got uploaded to datpiff.com so that's how I'm gonna listen to it.
BTW, this iz tha 1st eva review where I'm just listening to tha CD without
having it (meaning having it downloaded or having tha CD in my hand) so
congrats on that. It took me approximately 2 years and 4 and a ½ months to
reach my 100th review (as I started my first one back around Late
February/Early March 2006). My theory iz that when I get to reach this point
again (where I get to Review No. 200), I have a feeling it'll be (taking a
guess) February 14, 2009. We'll see if I'm right. And before I start this thang
off, lemme scratch this $1 scratch-off lottery ticket I got today. I was lucky
'cause I looked on top of tha scratch-off lottery ticket machine for lottery
tickets (as I collect tha scratch-offs winners & losers) and I found a free
$1 ticket. I cashed it in and got a $1 scratch-off so lemme see if I won or
not… *scratches…* A bunch of shit! I lost, but w/e it was a free dollar. I
bought a $20 scratch-off and I'm gonna scratch that one during tha ½time of
this review. So now, without further or do, here goes my 100th review!!! Here's
my review for Jimmy The DJ "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2: Ghetto Pass
(Hosted by Nu$$ie)"!!!!!!!!!! Hope there's BANGIN' JOINTZ on here
(whether I know 'em or not), SURPRISES and everything that'll make this a
classic! IT'S MY MOST ANTICIPATED CD/MIXTAPE of 2008!!! I feel like
"Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1" took 0 dayz to make ('cause when I met Jimmy
on Word Of South's forum on October 11, 2007, it was posted there like it was
nothin') but for this one, I got to feel tha making of it (as time went on) so
it's on some REAL SHIT to actually see and hear this finished product finally
(I must've seen tha cover like 500 times already, lol). And now, as of
7.17.2008, I corrected some things due to I got tha CD in tha mail finally! Start
Time: 6:05 PM | Video Game Playing: Blast Corps. (for Nintendo 64)
(on my computer)
Disclaimer: I rate each song from
1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own
opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are,
as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then
vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0
ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at
least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really
love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’
when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I
type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song;
anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m
listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me or have auto-tune
in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!
01. Nu$$ie 2 Real
Listening right now on my music Myspace page's comments (as Jimmy left me it at 12:49 AM today—11:49 PM on 7/13/08 his time). Tha player looks real dope. Wanna hear tha 25 anticipating seconds of what Nu$$ie has to say!!!!! >>> It felt like it was short but I guess it wasn't since Dee-1's intro was like a few seconds longer on tha last one. I like it. Will prolly be replaying tha intro a lot when I listen to tha mixtape again. My Rating: N/A
02. Nu$$ie Feat. Diablo "Shakedown"
Looks familiar. Whatever this iz I'm definitely dying on hearing/re-hearing it!!! >>> It sounds very good coming outta my stereo so props on tha quality & this player. Yeah heard this. Barely remember so this iz good. Glad you wanna "swim in millions / you're tired of grands." I feel tha same way when it comes to tha scratch-offs. Yeah definitely feelin' tha Yung Joc sample from "Zoom" in tha hook. Great way to start it off. Both Nu$$ie and Diablo did they thang. Now before I rate it, I gotta check to see if I reviewed it b4 and what I rated it previously. This iz to prevent me from rating it way off… Okay just checked. I was gonna rate it 4.1 but good thing I checked to make sure. I'm gonna stick wit tha original rating I gave it, 4.3. My Rating: 4.3
03. A-Mar & Dyl Feat. Max Minelli & VL Mike "To The Max (Remix)"
I didn't look at tha ID yet. I just noticed that it was long and that it was 5 minutes, 26 seconds. I can TELL it's "To The Max (Remix)". *Checks ID* Yup, I knew it! I guess that's Error No. 1 on tha title since it's tha remix. Yes, it's a BIG difference when VL Mike (R.I.P.) iz on it! Originally, I got tha original version February 18, 2008 and premiered it that night (by pushing 2 songs, Gorilla Zoe Feat. Gucci Mane "Waddle" and Wiz Khalifa "Say Yeah", off 'til tha next dayz) due to anticipation without waiting. At first I thought it was good but a lil' too slow and somewhat plain. Tha remix, which I got 2 months and 1 week later, had a lil' flava added to it thanx to VL Mike. Once again, I always feel sorry for Jimmy and what happened to tha "To The Max (Remix)" video. It's like you got Jimmy The DJ, a VERY SPECIAL person. Then you got 4 TIGHT rappers from Louisiana, A-Mar, Dyl, Max Minelli & VL Mike. You then got tha lovely scenes of Louisiana. I can't believe it was delayed a few times and that VL Mike had to get killed (WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!). Too bad Max Minelli was a lil' too busy and that there was bad weather on April 27th. But don't worry, I'm ANTICIPATED for that new A-Mar & Dyl song/video wit Nu$$ie (which iz untitled and TBA on all tha dates for it). And yes, it's MY review so we're gonna have a moment of silence for VL Mike before I press play! *SHUTS AIR CONDITION OFF FOR DEAD SILENCE*

And for those reading, check out tha R.I.P. VL Mike video I made 2 months ago for him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bnHi41kK0w.
Now
to tha review: >>> Good thing this was put as No. 3 on this mixtape
'cause it's another great opening track for this mixtape! This has been gettin'
a whole lot of luv from me on Youtube as a ton of people ask me for tha mp3 (as
tha original iz featured as tha "Song Of Tha Month" for my
"Favorite Rap and R&B Songs of Febraury 2008" video and this
remix iz featured in my "Favorite Rap and R&B Songs of April
2008" video). Tha hook of course iz tight and Dyl did his thang on tha 1st
verse. Max Minelli iz a beast on his verse (tha 2nd one). I always love tha
line where he says "you know how I do it,--*sound effect of a seal
breaking*--fresh out tha plastic seal!" No offense to Lil' Boosie but when
I hear A-Mar's voice, I feel like he's more able for tha voice than Lil'
Boosie. I hear a lot more of A-Mar from that voice so that's what I expect and
I like it. Great verse by A-Mar as usual (tha 3rd verse). VL Mike did his
thang. I have a question: At 4:06, it sounds like VL Mike iz refering to Jimmy
The DJ… Iz that true? He says "Minelli & Jimmy holla'd, told ya'll I
was tha one to get." Oh yeah can't also forget about sayin' this: this
was VL Mike's last verse eva recorded. Now PEOPLE KNOW TO HOLLA AT A-Mar
& Dyl for that!! That's what I said!! My Current Rating: 4.5
04. Kevin Gates Feat. Lil' Boosie "Get In The Way (Remix)"
Lol… Now this says "remix". Kevin Gates actually wrote me on June 10th saying "how can I get on that mixtape?" I gave him tha info to get onto it and what do you know… he's on this one!! Not sure if that was planned before June 10th but either way, you know my anticipation iz sky-high for Kevin Gates and Lil' Boosie!!! >>> Oh yeah, first brand spankin' new song for me!! Hook sounds like a Reggae/Elephant Man type of hook… weird… Oh him coming on tha 1st verse makes me notice that voice!! I ranked "Game In Stiches" featuring Yung Sicka my favorite song on Big Jay's "Pyrex Radio Vol. 4: From Crumbz 2 Brickz" mixtape. I'm glad you "might as well sag your pants." I think "saggin'" iz a cool thing. I actually dislike it on me sometimes 'cause either my pants fall all off (yeah, I'll show my ass, lol) or it's way too tight. Definitely felt Kevin Gates's verse and Lil' Boosie's was REAL TIGHT. Lol @ me talkin' about Boosie on tha "To The Max (Remix)" and all of a sudden, he's on tha next joint (this) (especially after A-Mar, lol—I think that happened on tha last "Gangsta Gumbo" too, lol). 3rd verse was okay. Real glad you ended tha song wit tha "saggin'" part again. Minus tha Reggae sounding, this was tight. My Rating: 4.3
05. Lil' Josh & Ernest Feat. Hurricane Chris "Jigga Juice (Remix)"
I'm in tha mood to do this so I'm gonna do it… *BLIND REVIEW*!! I'm NOT lookin' at No. 5 while it plays so I know no info of it 'til it ends!! Let's see what happens!! >>> OMG *passes out and laughs*!! This song. Ha ha ha!! I had to look at it now 'cause I know what it iz. Gonna have to redo tha *BLIND REVIEW* later on here. So was this tha exclusive Hurricane Chris song/feature (as mentioned a very long time ago)? If so, I'll always remember where it came from first: Jimmy The DJ's mouth (not Music Choice Rap or Hot 97 in New York)! MTV Jams ain't got this yet… What are they doin'? Glad it's gettin' some mainstreamness out in tha world. I like how it sounds real fast and I always like tha "and like a Power Ranger, I'm 'bout to power up. I'm 'bout to transform…" Oh yeah, Music Choice Hip-Hop And R&B got this like last week and it censors "retarded." SMH… I like tha part "flyer than a kite / ridin' like a bike" that Hurricane Chris said (and tha way he said it). And speakin' of a title wit "juice" in it, I like titles wit "juice" in them 'cause earlier this year, starting February 19, 2008, I got real cool wit this dude Juice from my college. He had premiered some new music at times when I would hang out wit him (one being tha HOTTEST/HARDEST/BEST song/underground song/Rap song of 2008: "Bossman" by Joey Jihad & Meek Mill that I have played over 500 times (record setting and still goin')). I even discovered a song on tha Word Of South forum called "Get Rite Juice" by Kane & Abel Feat. 5th Ward Weebie & PNC 4 months ago. None of my sources (MTV, MTV2, MTV Jams, New York's Hot 97, CT's Hot 93.7 and Music Choice are my Urban sources) got that song and it was REAL TIGHT (still iz). I actually like it a WHOLE LOT better than "Jigga Juice". My Rating: 4.1
06. Dee-1 "I Hate Money"
I thought it said "One Man Army" for a sec. Then I saw Dee-1 and "Rebirth" clicked in for a sec. It's this (good). Got a spin on Alex McConduit's "The Hip-Hop Spot with Alex McConduit" show back on May 28, 2008 when Dee-1 visited tha show (along wit a bunch other songs of Dee-1's—YES, IF ANYONE's READING THIS, HOLLA AT Alex McConduit if you're in Louisiana!! His shows are broadcasted from New Orleans, LA and they broadcast online at http://www.crescentcityradio.com and you could be on tha show!!! Even I got a spin on his boy Big Money Matt's "The Tuesday Night Throwdown" show on July 1st (my song "Who I Am")). Anyway, time for another listen to this INTERESTING song of Dee-1's. Even when Dee-1 was on tha show, he was like "my father iz a workaholic." Well Dee-1, my dad iz tha same way. That's why he's very unreliable about doing things for me (mainly on time) as he works 2 jobs (3 in tha Summer) and works like 12 hours a day at least. I think we need to stick this song into my dad's ears and make him put his family (ESPECIALLY his kids like me) over money!!! >>> Oh yeah Dee-1, congrats on tha 2,500+ copies sold of your "I Am Who I Am" mixtape! Oh and this sounds great on here! Great pick for this mixtape! Great beat, very good lyrics and great flowing too! That whole 1st verse was explained on tha interview Dee-1 had wit Alex McConduit when he went to Alex's show (which I ripped tha WHOLE interview; 1 hour and 7 and a ½ minutes long)! I hear now that you talked about your dad in tha 2nd verse. I also heard your cousin got locked up before you talked about your dad. Really, why tha fuck would anyone steal money? I feel great wit tha money I have. I have like $600 right now and it'll take me like a ½ year to get rid of it. Most of tha time when it's Christmas, I have like no money left (mainly 'cause my birthday iz June 21st). *Checks for rating* I gave it a 4.3 but I feel it needs to have a higher rating. My Current Rating: 4.6
07. C-Murder Feat. Young Ready "Cock, Aim, Shoot"
Wow I'm 53 minutes into tha review and I only reviewed 6 songs so far, lol. That's good 'cause Jimmy The DJ needs EVERY WORD and EVERY SECOND of me for this (as well as tha artists on here)! Speaking of Alex McConduit's show, when tha Chopper City Boyz came thru (who Jimmy and I talked to as well) on July 2, 2008 (R.I.P. to VL Mike again), an hour before they came thru, C-Murder called in and had an interview on tha phone for 7 minutes and 17 seconds (I have it ripped). It was great, as well as tha Chopper City Boyz in tha studio! Oh and you know I have anticipation drippin' off my hands for this right here! Its got Young Ready on it (FREE Young Ready ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and C-Murder doesn't play games so DEFINITELY "gangsta" wit that title for this "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2" (LUCKY No. 7)!!! >>> I so didn't expect that West Coast type of beat/feel. Really feelin' that and tha hook! OMG Young Ready iz on FUCKIN' FIRE on tha 1st verse!!!!! Last "Gangsta Gumbo" CD, B-Raw & Gutta had tha 7th joint on there (which was my favorite on a 1st listen). This iz just as good!! I can see Music Choice Rap playin' this. I hope they don't ignore it. C'mon, it's a C-Murder joint. And C-Murder did his thang on tha 2nd verse! Yeah C-Murder, "tha N.O. in tha house!!" Well I guess Jimmy The DJ puts a REAL HOT joint at No. 7 on tha CD on purpose 'cause he did it again! Currently my favorite on this mixtape (can it last?)! My Rating: 4.8
08. Max Minelli "My Boi"
Another person from tha mixtape cover!! Lol!! Who didn't get played yet that was on tha cover… *checks*… Everyone of them got played on here already! Good way to fire up tha mixtape! Not sure if I heard before, but you know I gotta hear Max!! And I had to eat somethin' real quick, so I took a few minutes of a break. I only ate 3 oreos. I would've had more but I really wanna get back into this review! >>> Good start. Yeah, Max Minelli iz "my boi." Yeah heard this but glad it's on here too 'cause it sounds good on this mixtape! Yeah Max, you're "gonna get a nice check back." Tha whole song sounds good, especially tha 2nd verse. Real tight 2nd verse. Speaking of gettin' cake, I'm gonna start chargin' people (mainly people I don't know) $10 for a review that I would do for them. Sounds like it will be a good start for me. *Checks for rating* I thought for a sec this was on "The Remedy", but no, Jimmy The DJ went a better route and chose a joint that was featured on "Max Pain 2 (The Rise Of Max Pain)". Good job. I'm gonna keep tha rating I had originally, 4.3. Oh and once again, I thank Max Minelli so much for writing back to me on Myspace a month and a ½ ago when I sent him my review for his "The Remedy" CD. He really liked it. My Rating: 4.3
09. One-i & Jayroc Feat. Lil' Cali "Big Deal"
Okay my boy One-i and his boy Jayroc and Lil' Cali on this. Not sure if I know it, but we'll see what comes outta it. >>> Great start. Love that beat. Don't think I heard. It's hella tight!! Real "white rap" right here (unlike fake wiggers that randomly roam on Youtube and that live up where I live in shitty-ass Northeast PA). 2nd verse sounds like Nu$ie a lil'. I liked that "yeehhhan!!!" (or howeva you spell it) at tha end of tha verse (imitating a car noise). 3rd verse from One-i was great too. Very good joint for somethin' I had no anticipation for!! My Rating: 4.6
10. The Black Kadafi "Tin Man"
Ooh first one that's a 100% newbie! It took me up to No. 10 to hear somebody new so that means I discovered a WHOLE LOT since "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1"!! This looks interesting and if I'm gonna take a guess, he's tryin' to be tha "tin man" by shittin' on everyone else when it comes to rappin'/trappin'? Just a guess, but I'll find out now wit anticipation! >>> Lol @ "pussy scarecrow." Good start so far. Gettin' interested in hearing more! Okay I was wrong about guessin' tha title's definition. Good hook tho. Definitely like it!! Yes this shit iz hard and I like this shit. Tha beat iz nice and dark and just tha new sound for me iz great. Great 1st listen! I'll make sure I'll always play it whenever I get tha chance!! My Rating: 4.4
11. Big Gill (of Already Ent.) Feat. Sam I Am & Street Official "Jack Rabbit"
I'm gonna like it by tha looks of tha ID and title!! >>> Lol @ tha "bad habits" only 'cause that's like Big Money Matt & Alex McConduit's favorite thing to say on their shows: "BAD HABITS!!!" Sounds good. This iz tha 2nd time I'm hearin' Sam I Am on somethin' and once again he's aceing it!! Tha 1st joint I heard from him was "Like Dat" from tha "Pyrex Radio Vol. 4: From Crumbz 2 Brickz" mixtape. He's got a nice Bone Crusher type of feel! It's like where Bone Crusher left off, so I'm glad he picked up Bone Crusher's crown and followed his path. Okay I hear someone different on tha 3rd verse. That must be Street Official I'm guessing. I guess tha " & " symbol didn't come out in tha ID on tha Dat Piff player (if it was labeled wit that symbol instead of tha word "and"). Not bad, but Sam I Am of course made this real hot. Good feel once again on tha beat and tha hook! My Rating: 4.2
12. Nu$$ie Speaks
29 second skit. I didn't look at who was doin' it, but I'm gonna guess Jimmy The DJ 'cause of him bein' No. 12 on tha "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1" as well! I HOPE IT'S JIMMY THE DJ!!! *Checks ID* Nope it's Nu$$ie again. Love skits (especially from Louisiana people) so let's hear Nu$$ie again!! >>> Good job on that info! That's right "The Champ Iz Here" iz out now and here's my review for it: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...ogID=398001752 My Rating: N/A
½time: Perfect so far! I love every single joint and I hope it keeps up! Now somethin' I've been really anticipating… I mentioned it in tha beginning… my $20 scratch-off I bought earlier! I didn't even look at what number tha ticket was, so lemme see it… I'm gonna guess it's No. 009 for some reason. *Checks* … Nope, it was No. 027 (lol @ tha Lil' Wayne birthday (9 as my guess, 27 for tha real number)). That means this iz tha 3rd ticket in tha roll of $20 tickets (I bought a Monopoly). Very high anticipation and I don't think I'm gonna win (lol) 'cause this mixtape iz OFF THA CHAIN (sometimes if I'm havin' a bad day wit tha music business or music itself and/or people I talk to, then I think I have luck wit lottery tickets). Here I go scratchin' it! *$tart$ $cratchin'!!!* … No bonus (shit)… Shit, I needed to match a 4, 18, 8, 38, 27 or a 9 and I got a 37 (thinkin' I won)! Aight I'm ½ way through and nothin' yet… *Sigh* Only 5 numbers left… Figures, I was right. I lost. Well, at least there's this HOT mixtape! At least somethin' iz RIGHT right now (tha mixtape). It would've been a whole lot of fun writing that I won in this review, but whateva. It's No. 13 on tha mixtape so now I finna get into it!!
13. Nu$$ie Feat. Skull Duggrey, Bro Bro & Diablo "Dumb Way 2"
No error here. In fact, there's an error on "The Champ Iz Here" since it says "Dumway 2" (without tha "b" and tha spacing). Gonna re-hear and get another good feeling! >>> Oh yeah forgot tha original was on "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1". Good way to have tha sequel on here! Nu$$ie came thru HARD wit all those "*insert words here* in this biiitch!" lines!!! This joint must be goin' crazy in Louisiana! For any song that makes anyone "go dumb", you know it gon knock HARD in Louisiana! This definitely stays consistant all tha way 'round. *Compares ratings* Originally had a 4.0 rating. I feel a lil' better for this so a lil' boost iz gonna come outta me. My Rating: 4.2
14. Konfo Feat. Pikasso "Let 'Em Lay"
Another brand new one for me. Let's see if it's as good as "Tin Man"! >>> A lil' gangsta wit tha "spill my drink, tha trigger'll go" line. I like that line on tha "gangsta" tip but that won't be me in any way at all in real life. That's not an error on tha ID iz it? Only 'cause he's sayin' "confidence" (where it could be "Konfodence" as his name--EDIT: it's not an error). But this was tight. Good beat but I can't say that I love it already. My Rating: 3.9
15. B-Raw "Nutcase"
Gave B-Raw feedback on his Myspace when he first posted this. Now I can't wait to give it tha official review! I'm showin' a lot of luv to my dawg B-Raw by helpin' him out. I created a Youtube page for him on my birthday this year and wheneva he sends me video clips of him, I'll make a music video for him (I have a feeling it'll be this song and I didn't even re-hear it yet, but that's just a future guess). Well he's teamin' up wit Gutta again so I'm expectin' this song to act a "nut case"!!! >>> Tha fade in part kinda confused me but now here we go wit that BANGIN' BEAT (like tha one in "Parking Lot 2 Picture Booth")!!! Good it's not fuckin' 3 minutes (like most jointz on here)! It's 4 minutes, 3 seconds!! Tha hook iz too tight (wit that "can't give me a Tylenol" line). Tha 1st verse was REAL! Tight!! It's 8:10 PM right now (Jimmy knows what that represents)! Perfect timing 'cause of this HOT joint!! I like tha "Savage water" line. WHY IZ IT ENDING?!? Gonna tie tha rating wit that other song (tha C-Murder/Young Ready one) I rated tha best. We'll see who wins at tha end! My Rating: 4.8
16. JD Killa "N.O."
We're at No. 16 (tha one I have a lot of faith for) and I heard tha first millisecond of it. It was tha "Dey Know" beat. Without lookin' at tha ID, I'm gonna guess this iz "D.E.E.1.W.I.L.L.N.O.T.L.O.S.E." If it iz, those songs I rated 4.8 might not have a chance anymore… Uh oh!! *Checks ID* I'm WRONG, lol!! It's JD Killa (who I think iz supposed to holla at me in tha future). BTW, tha "Red Bandana" joint was tight. I know I didn't rate it at least a 4.0 rating on my review but I do love it. That was only a 1st listen. We'll see how he does on this GREAT jacked beat in 2.5 minutes! >>> He said "Crescent City." That's REALLY watz good! Shout out to Alex McConduit and Crescent City Radio & Big Boot Radio! 1st verse was pretty good but I do love tha way tha hook iz "N.O.'d"! Yeah I agree, you are "dat nigga" (BTW, I didn't say tha "n" word. I only quoted it to agree wit what JD Killa said). Lol @ you "droppin' your nuts on your sister." Good job on that boi! You passed my test! My Rating: 4.4
17. Baby L's "Pop It Off"
I think I'm readin' tha ID right… Baby L's? Sounds right (since an "l" iz a blunt (lol @ tha way I wrote tha letter; it looks like one, lol). It says "Baby L" on tha CD but "Baby L's" on his Myspace/Dat Piff player. Can't say it's an error now, but let's see how this gon pop off in tha short 2 minutes, 17 seconds! >>> Good start. I was right about tha name. They sound like a mix of random underground internet rappers mixed wit Curren$y. I like tha "dawg" parts (I always really like when rappers say "dawg"). "Push weight faster than a pipe line." That was a nice line! As soon as I was slowly gettin' more into it, it ended. Too short. My Rating: 4.1
18. Jeanisis Model Ms. Juicci
A model on here. Let's hear what he/she has to say. >>> It's a girl. She sounded hot, especially wit that echoing. My Rating: N/A
19. Lil' Doonie Feat. K-9 "Yo Swagger"
Aight lemme try this again. I'm NOT lookin' at tha ID. I see that it's 4 minutes flat but that's it. Hope it's HOT and I HOPE I don't know it! *BLIND REVIEW* >>> Another failed attempt at a *BLIND REVIEW*, lol! It unexpectically iz this so my heart iz racing (in a good way) a lil' 'cause it's Doonie!! That's Error No. 2 'cause it's Lil' Doonie (not just Doonie). No offense, but this had its time on my playlist. "To The Max (Remix)" also had its time due to video change-up and "Priceless (Remix)" had its time due to how long I've had it and new single that's pushin', "Rebirth". Anyway, my playlist has been not able to stable right (due to I haven't been goin' anywhere at all due to I'm not in college right now) so it's very hard to give "quality spins" out on my playlist. This actually was tha official last "lunch song" I played at Lackawanna college (on April 28, 2008). A "lunch song" happens when I eat my lunch at tha college. While I'm eating, I put a song on repeat while I eat. This iz to prevent me from eating & playing wit my iPod at tha same time (so it doesn't get dirty). But I had to drop a lot of songs I had gotten in tha Winter and tha Spring in order for newer ones to come in. Don't worry tho Doonie. Within tha time I was playin' "Yo Swagger", I beasted on it (as I gave it at least 70 spins on my iPod so fast) and it hit No. 1 on my Top 10 Countdown a few times in May. Also, I featured this joint in my "Favorite Rap and R&B Songs of April 2008" video. On wit tha song: I do like how Doonie said "tha black 'bauds saggin'." I'm rockin' a red/yellow/black/blue polo wit blue girbaud shorts that have red straps and white letters. Either way, any song about "swag" iz always gon be real tight and Doonie has a classic street anthem on his hands right here. Tha beat iz real tight and Doonie, your "under 18" deep voice pays off. I'm gonna keep tha original rating I had for it. My Current Rating: 4.7
Intermission: Music Choice Rap just got a new C-Murder joint, lol (speaking of which). They didn't get tha TIGHT JOINT on this mixtape but they got tha joint "So Fresh" featuring Detroit.
20. Sleep Feat. Big Gill, Kuale Boy, Dre Deuce & Payback "Watch Me Maneuver"
Aight I'm gonna keep doin' this until it works. Here goes Attempt No. 3 at tha *BLIND REVIEW*! Not lookin' at tha ID as I get ready to play this joint! >>> Okay I don't know it (yes) and it sounds like a fast beat! Vocals sound kinda quiet (like it was for tha females). Okay I hear a certain sound comin' from tha beat. I like that. It sounds like a game show sound! Lol @ "not tha octopus." I guess you're strong to be up "3 dayz straight" and "don't need no rest." I'm tryin' to stay up for 24 hours straight for tha 1st time, but it ain't workin'. Lemme guess, this joint iz called "Maneuver"? Well, tha *BLIND REVIEW* worked but I think this iz my least rated song so far. Tha 2nd verse was good but it didn't get me in tha special mood like most of tha other songs did. I don't know if it was because of me not knowing who it was, but I don't think it was that. I still like this tho. My Rating: 3.6
EDIT: Time to check tha ID. Let's see it… *Checks ID* … Oh I was 1/3 right about tha title and it wound up being this: Sleep Feat. Big Gill, Kliale Boy, Dre Deuse & Payback "Watch Me Maneuver". Izn't his name Sleepy and that spelling looks weird for Dre Deuse (then again, that spelling iz prolly right--EDIT: I fixed tha spelling tha way it should look 'cause tha Dat Piff player looked all stupid (I bolded what it looked like when I first saw it)).
21. Lil' Yella Feat. Lil' Boosie "Chainz"
I heard Lil' Yella once or twice (thanx to DeTrane) but now here comes tha anticipation!! Definitely high anticipation on tha collaboration!! >>> Lil' Yella sounds good and that beat iz tha usual good sound. Yeah "make it rain diamonds." That's different and I like it. Ooh look DJ Scotty K Feat. Knockhopper "Goodnight Tonight" just came on Music Choice Dance!!! This joint must be real lucky then if it can lure that song out (which came out last October, neva lost any quality wit me and scored over 400 spins wit me)!! VERY GOOD JOB!! REALLY LOOKIN' FORWARD to tha rest of this, including tha Lil' Boosie joint (oh now that that's playin' on Music Choice Dance, it feels like I'm typing 100 words per minute unlike my usual 94 words per minute)! Lil' Boosie did his thang and I definitely like this collabo!! Great job and tha hook just gets you in tha mood for Louisiana Rap music!! My Rating: 4.2
22. DJ Southpaw & Rackley "No Better Than This"
Looks like Jimmy The DJ retreated for a sec and let DJ Southpaw on. Not sure what to expect. Maybe I'll be shocked! >>> Almost thought that was "I'm 'Bout Money" beat in tha beginning but it's not. I like tha beat so far. Tha vocals definitely sound like someone randomly online. That hook iz real catchy. This sounds nice. Definitely good underground music right here. My Rating: 4.1
EDIT: Just to tell you, I love this one now! My rating could've been at least 0.5 points higher!!
23. Nu$$ie "Outro"
It's over? Let's see what Nu$$ie's gotta say… >>> Holy shit how did I not have any anticipation for this? CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why? 'Cause Nu$$ie shouted me out! DEFINITELY 'preciate that to tha FULLEST!!!!! I knew he was gonna do that (from a while back) but I didn't remember when I was reviewing this 'til I started playin' this outro. I remembered. BTW, tha beginning of this outro sounded good 'cause it sounded like you were rappin'. Good info and very good job wit mentioning me! Also gotta mention a quote I made up for myself: "I may be from Long Island, NY and I may live in Northeast PA, but my heart, especially for tha music bu$ine$$, lives in… Louisiana!" My Rating: N/A
24. Nu$$ie Feat. Savage "They Hate My"
It's NOT OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I see a No. 25 song also so we'll see what that iz! LOVE THIS one so expect at least a 4.8 rating!!! >>> "Savage on tha beat!" That beat iz TOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKIN' HOT!!! That hook iz TOOO HOT!!! People just hatin' on Nu$$ie and it's fuckin' gay how there's haterz. Trust me, people from my college hate on me (especially when we're out of college). They think "oh because Frankie doesn't play a sport, he ain't nothin'." So yeah, definitely feelin' this (especially in my case). Wow I'm 3 WHOPPING HOURS into this review!!! Sorry Dee-1, but you lost tha record for longest review (I don't think you should be too upset since it's ya boy Jimmy that broke it and that you're on here anyway). One thing I LOVE about this Savage beat iz that it's CONSISTANTLY REPETITIVE and doesn't get boring! Nu$$ie + this beat = just as good as tha $500 scratch-off winner I got on June 23, 2008! Great rhymes, flowin' and tha beat! Nu$$ie takes anything and does a track tha RIGHT (or should I say tha DUMB) WAY!!! My Current Rating: 4.8
25. Dee-1 Feat. Mal, Tyrel & The Rebirth Brass Band "Rebirth"
It's either a Nu$ie or Dee-1 song 'cause I might've peeked when I was lookin' to see how many tracks were left. Gonna look at tha ID… *Checks ID* … Oh it's Dee-1 and tha "Rebirth" song along wit tha crew!! Great ending song!! *Goes and gets dinner, fishsticks that I'm not alergic to that don't give me flem*… Such a New Orleans anthem right here! >>> That's cool that your grandpa "has a pair of girbauds." I just love that band in this and this joint iz just crazy! Can't wait for it to really pop off on that promotion tip!! Great verses and great joint! Can't wait for all tha moments (especially wit me) to pop off wit this joint! My Current Rating: 4.6
Overall: End Time: 9:19 PM. It took me 3 hours and 14 minutes to review this right here (mainly 'cause I pretty much put my all into every track/skit on here). A huge improvement from "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1" and DEFINITELY a classic right here!!! I'm glad to have my name featured in it and I must say that all day, err-day, Louisiana >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lackawanna College. I say that 'cause look at this: Nu$$ie, who I don't even know in person and NEVA talked to online/on tha phone (I talk to his manager A1 a lot tho), shouted me out, while a few of tha so called "spick-ass-fags" at my college who I've talked to in person at once won't even write me back when I write them. I think it's 'cause I'm a "nothin'" to them and I mean a whole lot to Louisiana and tha music bu$ine$$. I'm a "nothin'" to them 'cause I choose not to catch and transfer a meesly fuckin' lil' football and instead choose to take 3+ hours out of my time to type this 13-14 page review. *Unexpected intermission* I guess I'm in a rush to call you 'cause I only had 3 fishsticks left and I wound up choking on one. It was actually, statistically, tha worst choking moment I had. Shit, fuckin' water was comin' out my eyes and some shit out my nose. It was stupid (or should I say "retarded"). But once again, VERY GOOD mixtape! 3 surprises happened (unexpectically havin' "Yo Swagger" come on (I knew Doonie was on here tho), "Goodnight Tonight" coming on Music Choice Dance and Nu$$ie shouting me out when I didn't expect for a second). Too bad tha $20 scratch-off was a loser. I expected that to be tha big surprise, lol. And tha stupid choking too. Well, it's a 3-way tie for tha best song on here (since I rated 3 songs wit a 4.8 rating (which was tha highest on here)). Let's see what's my favorite:
Rankings (according to ratings):
21. Sleep Feat. Big Gill, Kuale Boy, Dre Deuce & Payback "Watch Me Maneuver" 3.6
20. Konfo Feat. Pikasso "Let 'Em Lay" 3.9
19. Lil' Josh & Ernest Feat. Hurricane Chris "Jigga Juice (Remix)" 4.1
18. DJ Southpaw & Rackley "No Better Than This" 4.1

03. C-Murder Feat. Young Ready "Cock, Aim, Shoot" 4.8
02. B-Raw "Nutcase" 4.8
01. Nu$$ie Feat. Savage "They Hate My" 4.8
What I did to determine who would get my official favorite spot was I looked at what I was gonna rate each song before I gave my real rating. Originally, I wanted to give "Cock, Aim, Shoot" and "Nut Case" a 4.7 each and "They Hate My" I almost gave a 4.9 so I gave it to Nu$$ie. Either way, this iz DEFINITELY better than "Tha Carter III" and HAS a Louisiana feel and HAS a gutta feel and HAS a lot more HIGHER ratings from me! I do like "Tha Carter III", but it was missing those first 2 things I said (tha feel and tha guttaness). Once again, I'm gonna tell Alex McConduit about you comin' to tha show and promoting this "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2" mixtape. I also hope you get to meet and talk to Famous Stranger (that rapper from New Orleans, LA) I told you about on your blog. And did I miss anything… uh… Tha old record for longest review was set on March 31, 2008. It was Dee-1's "I Am Who I Am" mixtape. I typed 11 pages and tha review lasted 2 hours, 43 minutes. This turned out to be 13.5 pages and lasted 3 hours, 14 minutes! Congrats! You deserve it (especially since you're tha BEST FUCKIN' PERSON IN THA MUSIC BU$INE$$)!! I'm gonna make sure I promote this on Myspaces worldwide and make sure I do anything for you. Hit me up for any favors! This DEFINITELY deserved to be my 100th review and DEFINITELY deserved to delay 14 CDs/mixtapes I had to review. Also, this iz gonna be featured in my "Favorite Rap and R&B Songs of July 2008" video under tha "CDs/Mixtapes To Go Cop" section of tha month.
04. Kevin Gates Feat. Lil' Boosie "Get In The Way (Remix)"
Lol… Now this says "remix". Kevin Gates actually wrote me on June 10th saying "how can I get on that mixtape?" I gave him tha info to get onto it and what do you know… he's on this one!! Not sure if that was planned before June 10th but either way, you know my anticipation iz sky-high for Kevin Gates and Lil' Boosie!!! >>> Oh yeah, first brand spankin' new song for me!! Hook sounds like a Reggae/Elephant Man type of hook… weird… Oh him coming on tha 1st verse makes me notice that voice!! I ranked "Game In Stiches" featuring Yung Sicka my favorite song on Big Jay's "Pyrex Radio Vol. 4: From Crumbz 2 Brickz" mixtape. I'm glad you "might as well sag your pants." I think "saggin'" iz a cool thing. I actually dislike it on me sometimes 'cause either my pants fall all off (yeah, I'll show my ass, lol) or it's way too tight. Definitely felt Kevin Gates's verse and Lil' Boosie's was REAL TIGHT. Lol @ me talkin' about Boosie on tha "To The Max (Remix)" and all of a sudden, he's on tha next joint (this) (especially after A-Mar, lol—I think that happened on tha last "Gangsta Gumbo" too, lol). 3rd verse was okay. Real glad you ended tha song wit tha "saggin'" part again. Minus tha Reggae sounding, this was tight. My Rating: 4.3
05. Lil' Josh & Ernest Feat. Hurricane Chris "Jigga Juice (Remix)"
I'm in tha mood to do this so I'm gonna do it… *BLIND REVIEW*!! I'm NOT lookin' at No. 5 while it plays so I know no info of it 'til it ends!! Let's see what happens!! >>> OMG *passes out and laughs*!! This song. Ha ha ha!! I had to look at it now 'cause I know what it iz. Gonna have to redo tha *BLIND REVIEW* later on here. So was this tha exclusive Hurricane Chris song/feature (as mentioned a very long time ago)? If so, I'll always remember where it came from first: Jimmy The DJ's mouth (not Music Choice Rap or Hot 97 in New York)! MTV Jams ain't got this yet… What are they doin'? Glad it's gettin' some mainstreamness out in tha world. I like how it sounds real fast and I always like tha "and like a Power Ranger, I'm 'bout to power up. I'm 'bout to transform…" Oh yeah, Music Choice Hip-Hop And R&B got this like last week and it censors "retarded." SMH… I like tha part "flyer than a kite / ridin' like a bike" that Hurricane Chris said (and tha way he said it). And speakin' of a title wit "juice" in it, I like titles wit "juice" in them 'cause earlier this year, starting February 19, 2008, I got real cool wit this dude Juice from my college. He had premiered some new music at times when I would hang out wit him (one being tha HOTTEST/HARDEST/BEST song/underground song/Rap song of 2008: "Bossman" by Joey Jihad & Meek Mill that I have played over 500 times (record setting and still goin')). I even discovered a song on tha Word Of South forum called "Get Rite Juice" by Kane & Abel Feat. 5th Ward Weebie & PNC 4 months ago. None of my sources (MTV, MTV2, MTV Jams, New York's Hot 97, CT's Hot 93.7 and Music Choice are my Urban sources) got that song and it was REAL TIGHT (still iz). I actually like it a WHOLE LOT better than "Jigga Juice". My Rating: 4.1
06. Dee-1 "I Hate Money"
I thought it said "One Man Army" for a sec. Then I saw Dee-1 and "Rebirth" clicked in for a sec. It's this (good). Got a spin on Alex McConduit's "The Hip-Hop Spot with Alex McConduit" show back on May 28, 2008 when Dee-1 visited tha show (along wit a bunch other songs of Dee-1's—YES, IF ANYONE's READING THIS, HOLLA AT Alex McConduit if you're in Louisiana!! His shows are broadcasted from New Orleans, LA and they broadcast online at http://www.crescentcityradio.com and you could be on tha show!!! Even I got a spin on his boy Big Money Matt's "The Tuesday Night Throwdown" show on July 1st (my song "Who I Am")). Anyway, time for another listen to this INTERESTING song of Dee-1's. Even when Dee-1 was on tha show, he was like "my father iz a workaholic." Well Dee-1, my dad iz tha same way. That's why he's very unreliable about doing things for me (mainly on time) as he works 2 jobs (3 in tha Summer) and works like 12 hours a day at least. I think we need to stick this song into my dad's ears and make him put his family (ESPECIALLY his kids like me) over money!!! >>> Oh yeah Dee-1, congrats on tha 2,500+ copies sold of your "I Am Who I Am" mixtape! Oh and this sounds great on here! Great pick for this mixtape! Great beat, very good lyrics and great flowing too! That whole 1st verse was explained on tha interview Dee-1 had wit Alex McConduit when he went to Alex's show (which I ripped tha WHOLE interview; 1 hour and 7 and a ½ minutes long)! I hear now that you talked about your dad in tha 2nd verse. I also heard your cousin got locked up before you talked about your dad. Really, why tha fuck would anyone steal money? I feel great wit tha money I have. I have like $600 right now and it'll take me like a ½ year to get rid of it. Most of tha time when it's Christmas, I have like no money left (mainly 'cause my birthday iz June 21st). *Checks for rating* I gave it a 4.3 but I feel it needs to have a higher rating. My Current Rating: 4.6
07. C-Murder Feat. Young Ready "Cock, Aim, Shoot"
Wow I'm 53 minutes into tha review and I only reviewed 6 songs so far, lol. That's good 'cause Jimmy The DJ needs EVERY WORD and EVERY SECOND of me for this (as well as tha artists on here)! Speaking of Alex McConduit's show, when tha Chopper City Boyz came thru (who Jimmy and I talked to as well) on July 2, 2008 (R.I.P. to VL Mike again), an hour before they came thru, C-Murder called in and had an interview on tha phone for 7 minutes and 17 seconds (I have it ripped). It was great, as well as tha Chopper City Boyz in tha studio! Oh and you know I have anticipation drippin' off my hands for this right here! Its got Young Ready on it (FREE Young Ready ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and C-Murder doesn't play games so DEFINITELY "gangsta" wit that title for this "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2" (LUCKY No. 7)!!! >>> I so didn't expect that West Coast type of beat/feel. Really feelin' that and tha hook! OMG Young Ready iz on FUCKIN' FIRE on tha 1st verse!!!!! Last "Gangsta Gumbo" CD, B-Raw & Gutta had tha 7th joint on there (which was my favorite on a 1st listen). This iz just as good!! I can see Music Choice Rap playin' this. I hope they don't ignore it. C'mon, it's a C-Murder joint. And C-Murder did his thang on tha 2nd verse! Yeah C-Murder, "tha N.O. in tha house!!" Well I guess Jimmy The DJ puts a REAL HOT joint at No. 7 on tha CD on purpose 'cause he did it again! Currently my favorite on this mixtape (can it last?)! My Rating: 4.8
08. Max Minelli "My Boi"
Another person from tha mixtape cover!! Lol!! Who didn't get played yet that was on tha cover… *checks*… Everyone of them got played on here already! Good way to fire up tha mixtape! Not sure if I heard before, but you know I gotta hear Max!! And I had to eat somethin' real quick, so I took a few minutes of a break. I only ate 3 oreos. I would've had more but I really wanna get back into this review! >>> Good start. Yeah, Max Minelli iz "my boi." Yeah heard this but glad it's on here too 'cause it sounds good on this mixtape! Yeah Max, you're "gonna get a nice check back." Tha whole song sounds good, especially tha 2nd verse. Real tight 2nd verse. Speaking of gettin' cake, I'm gonna start chargin' people (mainly people I don't know) $10 for a review that I would do for them. Sounds like it will be a good start for me. *Checks for rating* I thought for a sec this was on "The Remedy", but no, Jimmy The DJ went a better route and chose a joint that was featured on "Max Pain 2 (The Rise Of Max Pain)". Good job. I'm gonna keep tha rating I had originally, 4.3. Oh and once again, I thank Max Minelli so much for writing back to me on Myspace a month and a ½ ago when I sent him my review for his "The Remedy" CD. He really liked it. My Rating: 4.3
09. One-i & Jayroc Feat. Lil' Cali "Big Deal"
Okay my boy One-i and his boy Jayroc and Lil' Cali on this. Not sure if I know it, but we'll see what comes outta it. >>> Great start. Love that beat. Don't think I heard. It's hella tight!! Real "white rap" right here (unlike fake wiggers that randomly roam on Youtube and that live up where I live in shitty-ass Northeast PA). 2nd verse sounds like Nu$ie a lil'. I liked that "yeehhhan!!!" (or howeva you spell it) at tha end of tha verse (imitating a car noise). 3rd verse from One-i was great too. Very good joint for somethin' I had no anticipation for!! My Rating: 4.6
10. The Black Kadafi "Tin Man"
Ooh first one that's a 100% newbie! It took me up to No. 10 to hear somebody new so that means I discovered a WHOLE LOT since "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1"!! This looks interesting and if I'm gonna take a guess, he's tryin' to be tha "tin man" by shittin' on everyone else when it comes to rappin'/trappin'? Just a guess, but I'll find out now wit anticipation! >>> Lol @ "pussy scarecrow." Good start so far. Gettin' interested in hearing more! Okay I was wrong about guessin' tha title's definition. Good hook tho. Definitely like it!! Yes this shit iz hard and I like this shit. Tha beat iz nice and dark and just tha new sound for me iz great. Great 1st listen! I'll make sure I'll always play it whenever I get tha chance!! My Rating: 4.4
11. Big Gill (of Already Ent.) Feat. Sam I Am & Street Official "Jack Rabbit"
I'm gonna like it by tha looks of tha ID and title!! >>> Lol @ tha "bad habits" only 'cause that's like Big Money Matt & Alex McConduit's favorite thing to say on their shows: "BAD HABITS!!!" Sounds good. This iz tha 2nd time I'm hearin' Sam I Am on somethin' and once again he's aceing it!! Tha 1st joint I heard from him was "Like Dat" from tha "Pyrex Radio Vol. 4: From Crumbz 2 Brickz" mixtape. He's got a nice Bone Crusher type of feel! It's like where Bone Crusher left off, so I'm glad he picked up Bone Crusher's crown and followed his path. Okay I hear someone different on tha 3rd verse. That must be Street Official I'm guessing. I guess tha " & " symbol didn't come out in tha ID on tha Dat Piff player (if it was labeled wit that symbol instead of tha word "and"). Not bad, but Sam I Am of course made this real hot. Good feel once again on tha beat and tha hook! My Rating: 4.2
12. Nu$$ie Speaks
29 second skit. I didn't look at who was doin' it, but I'm gonna guess Jimmy The DJ 'cause of him bein' No. 12 on tha "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1" as well! I HOPE IT'S JIMMY THE DJ!!! *Checks ID* Nope it's Nu$$ie again. Love skits (especially from Louisiana people) so let's hear Nu$$ie again!! >>> Good job on that info! That's right "The Champ Iz Here" iz out now and here's my review for it: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...ogID=398001752 My Rating: N/A
½time: Perfect so far! I love every single joint and I hope it keeps up! Now somethin' I've been really anticipating… I mentioned it in tha beginning… my $20 scratch-off I bought earlier! I didn't even look at what number tha ticket was, so lemme see it… I'm gonna guess it's No. 009 for some reason. *Checks* … Nope, it was No. 027 (lol @ tha Lil' Wayne birthday (9 as my guess, 27 for tha real number)). That means this iz tha 3rd ticket in tha roll of $20 tickets (I bought a Monopoly). Very high anticipation and I don't think I'm gonna win (lol) 'cause this mixtape iz OFF THA CHAIN (sometimes if I'm havin' a bad day wit tha music business or music itself and/or people I talk to, then I think I have luck wit lottery tickets). Here I go scratchin' it! *$tart$ $cratchin'!!!* … No bonus (shit)… Shit, I needed to match a 4, 18, 8, 38, 27 or a 9 and I got a 37 (thinkin' I won)! Aight I'm ½ way through and nothin' yet… *Sigh* Only 5 numbers left… Figures, I was right. I lost. Well, at least there's this HOT mixtape! At least somethin' iz RIGHT right now (tha mixtape). It would've been a whole lot of fun writing that I won in this review, but whateva. It's No. 13 on tha mixtape so now I finna get into it!!
13. Nu$$ie Feat. Skull Duggrey, Bro Bro & Diablo "Dumb Way 2"
No error here. In fact, there's an error on "The Champ Iz Here" since it says "Dumway 2" (without tha "b" and tha spacing). Gonna re-hear and get another good feeling! >>> Oh yeah forgot tha original was on "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1". Good way to have tha sequel on here! Nu$$ie came thru HARD wit all those "*insert words here* in this biiitch!" lines!!! This joint must be goin' crazy in Louisiana! For any song that makes anyone "go dumb", you know it gon knock HARD in Louisiana! This definitely stays consistant all tha way 'round. *Compares ratings* Originally had a 4.0 rating. I feel a lil' better for this so a lil' boost iz gonna come outta me. My Rating: 4.2
14. Konfo Feat. Pikasso "Let 'Em Lay"
Another brand new one for me. Let's see if it's as good as "Tin Man"! >>> A lil' gangsta wit tha "spill my drink, tha trigger'll go" line. I like that line on tha "gangsta" tip but that won't be me in any way at all in real life. That's not an error on tha ID iz it? Only 'cause he's sayin' "confidence" (where it could be "Konfodence" as his name--EDIT: it's not an error). But this was tight. Good beat but I can't say that I love it already. My Rating: 3.9
15. B-Raw "Nutcase"
Gave B-Raw feedback on his Myspace when he first posted this. Now I can't wait to give it tha official review! I'm showin' a lot of luv to my dawg B-Raw by helpin' him out. I created a Youtube page for him on my birthday this year and wheneva he sends me video clips of him, I'll make a music video for him (I have a feeling it'll be this song and I didn't even re-hear it yet, but that's just a future guess). Well he's teamin' up wit Gutta again so I'm expectin' this song to act a "nut case"!!! >>> Tha fade in part kinda confused me but now here we go wit that BANGIN' BEAT (like tha one in "Parking Lot 2 Picture Booth")!!! Good it's not fuckin' 3 minutes (like most jointz on here)! It's 4 minutes, 3 seconds!! Tha hook iz too tight (wit that "can't give me a Tylenol" line). Tha 1st verse was REAL! Tight!! It's 8:10 PM right now (Jimmy knows what that represents)! Perfect timing 'cause of this HOT joint!! I like tha "Savage water" line. WHY IZ IT ENDING?!? Gonna tie tha rating wit that other song (tha C-Murder/Young Ready one) I rated tha best. We'll see who wins at tha end! My Rating: 4.8
16. JD Killa "N.O."
We're at No. 16 (tha one I have a lot of faith for) and I heard tha first millisecond of it. It was tha "Dey Know" beat. Without lookin' at tha ID, I'm gonna guess this iz "D.E.E.1.W.I.L.L.N.O.T.L.O.S.E." If it iz, those songs I rated 4.8 might not have a chance anymore… Uh oh!! *Checks ID* I'm WRONG, lol!! It's JD Killa (who I think iz supposed to holla at me in tha future). BTW, tha "Red Bandana" joint was tight. I know I didn't rate it at least a 4.0 rating on my review but I do love it. That was only a 1st listen. We'll see how he does on this GREAT jacked beat in 2.5 minutes! >>> He said "Crescent City." That's REALLY watz good! Shout out to Alex McConduit and Crescent City Radio & Big Boot Radio! 1st verse was pretty good but I do love tha way tha hook iz "N.O.'d"! Yeah I agree, you are "dat nigga" (BTW, I didn't say tha "n" word. I only quoted it to agree wit what JD Killa said). Lol @ you "droppin' your nuts on your sister." Good job on that boi! You passed my test! My Rating: 4.4
17. Baby L's "Pop It Off"
I think I'm readin' tha ID right… Baby L's? Sounds right (since an "l" iz a blunt (lol @ tha way I wrote tha letter; it looks like one, lol). It says "Baby L" on tha CD but "Baby L's" on his Myspace/Dat Piff player. Can't say it's an error now, but let's see how this gon pop off in tha short 2 minutes, 17 seconds! >>> Good start. I was right about tha name. They sound like a mix of random underground internet rappers mixed wit Curren$y. I like tha "dawg" parts (I always really like when rappers say "dawg"). "Push weight faster than a pipe line." That was a nice line! As soon as I was slowly gettin' more into it, it ended. Too short. My Rating: 4.1
18. Jeanisis Model Ms. Juicci
A model on here. Let's hear what he/she has to say. >>> It's a girl. She sounded hot, especially wit that echoing. My Rating: N/A
19. Lil' Doonie Feat. K-9 "Yo Swagger"
Aight lemme try this again. I'm NOT lookin' at tha ID. I see that it's 4 minutes flat but that's it. Hope it's HOT and I HOPE I don't know it! *BLIND REVIEW* >>> Another failed attempt at a *BLIND REVIEW*, lol! It unexpectically iz this so my heart iz racing (in a good way) a lil' 'cause it's Doonie!! That's Error No. 2 'cause it's Lil' Doonie (not just Doonie). No offense, but this had its time on my playlist. "To The Max (Remix)" also had its time due to video change-up and "Priceless (Remix)" had its time due to how long I've had it and new single that's pushin', "Rebirth". Anyway, my playlist has been not able to stable right (due to I haven't been goin' anywhere at all due to I'm not in college right now) so it's very hard to give "quality spins" out on my playlist. This actually was tha official last "lunch song" I played at Lackawanna college (on April 28, 2008). A "lunch song" happens when I eat my lunch at tha college. While I'm eating, I put a song on repeat while I eat. This iz to prevent me from eating & playing wit my iPod at tha same time (so it doesn't get dirty). But I had to drop a lot of songs I had gotten in tha Winter and tha Spring in order for newer ones to come in. Don't worry tho Doonie. Within tha time I was playin' "Yo Swagger", I beasted on it (as I gave it at least 70 spins on my iPod so fast) and it hit No. 1 on my Top 10 Countdown a few times in May. Also, I featured this joint in my "Favorite Rap and R&B Songs of April 2008" video. On wit tha song: I do like how Doonie said "tha black 'bauds saggin'." I'm rockin' a red/yellow/black/blue polo wit blue girbaud shorts that have red straps and white letters. Either way, any song about "swag" iz always gon be real tight and Doonie has a classic street anthem on his hands right here. Tha beat iz real tight and Doonie, your "under 18" deep voice pays off. I'm gonna keep tha original rating I had for it. My Current Rating: 4.7
Intermission: Music Choice Rap just got a new C-Murder joint, lol (speaking of which). They didn't get tha TIGHT JOINT on this mixtape but they got tha joint "So Fresh" featuring Detroit.
20. Sleep Feat. Big Gill, Kuale Boy, Dre Deuce & Payback "Watch Me Maneuver"
Aight I'm gonna keep doin' this until it works. Here goes Attempt No. 3 at tha *BLIND REVIEW*! Not lookin' at tha ID as I get ready to play this joint! >>> Okay I don't know it (yes) and it sounds like a fast beat! Vocals sound kinda quiet (like it was for tha females). Okay I hear a certain sound comin' from tha beat. I like that. It sounds like a game show sound! Lol @ "not tha octopus." I guess you're strong to be up "3 dayz straight" and "don't need no rest." I'm tryin' to stay up for 24 hours straight for tha 1st time, but it ain't workin'. Lemme guess, this joint iz called "Maneuver"? Well, tha *BLIND REVIEW* worked but I think this iz my least rated song so far. Tha 2nd verse was good but it didn't get me in tha special mood like most of tha other songs did. I don't know if it was because of me not knowing who it was, but I don't think it was that. I still like this tho. My Rating: 3.6
EDIT: Time to check tha ID. Let's see it… *Checks ID* … Oh I was 1/3 right about tha title and it wound up being this: Sleep Feat. Big Gill, Kliale Boy, Dre Deuse & Payback "Watch Me Maneuver". Izn't his name Sleepy and that spelling looks weird for Dre Deuse (then again, that spelling iz prolly right--EDIT: I fixed tha spelling tha way it should look 'cause tha Dat Piff player looked all stupid (I bolded what it looked like when I first saw it)).
21. Lil' Yella Feat. Lil' Boosie "Chainz"
I heard Lil' Yella once or twice (thanx to DeTrane) but now here comes tha anticipation!! Definitely high anticipation on tha collaboration!! >>> Lil' Yella sounds good and that beat iz tha usual good sound. Yeah "make it rain diamonds." That's different and I like it. Ooh look DJ Scotty K Feat. Knockhopper "Goodnight Tonight" just came on Music Choice Dance!!! This joint must be real lucky then if it can lure that song out (which came out last October, neva lost any quality wit me and scored over 400 spins wit me)!! VERY GOOD JOB!! REALLY LOOKIN' FORWARD to tha rest of this, including tha Lil' Boosie joint (oh now that that's playin' on Music Choice Dance, it feels like I'm typing 100 words per minute unlike my usual 94 words per minute)! Lil' Boosie did his thang and I definitely like this collabo!! Great job and tha hook just gets you in tha mood for Louisiana Rap music!! My Rating: 4.2
22. DJ Southpaw & Rackley "No Better Than This"
Looks like Jimmy The DJ retreated for a sec and let DJ Southpaw on. Not sure what to expect. Maybe I'll be shocked! >>> Almost thought that was "I'm 'Bout Money" beat in tha beginning but it's not. I like tha beat so far. Tha vocals definitely sound like someone randomly online. That hook iz real catchy. This sounds nice. Definitely good underground music right here. My Rating: 4.1
EDIT: Just to tell you, I love this one now! My rating could've been at least 0.5 points higher!!
23. Nu$$ie "Outro"
It's over? Let's see what Nu$$ie's gotta say… >>> Holy shit how did I not have any anticipation for this? CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why? 'Cause Nu$$ie shouted me out! DEFINITELY 'preciate that to tha FULLEST!!!!! I knew he was gonna do that (from a while back) but I didn't remember when I was reviewing this 'til I started playin' this outro. I remembered. BTW, tha beginning of this outro sounded good 'cause it sounded like you were rappin'. Good info and very good job wit mentioning me! Also gotta mention a quote I made up for myself: "I may be from Long Island, NY and I may live in Northeast PA, but my heart, especially for tha music bu$ine$$, lives in… Louisiana!" My Rating: N/A
24. Nu$$ie Feat. Savage "They Hate My"
It's NOT OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I see a No. 25 song also so we'll see what that iz! LOVE THIS one so expect at least a 4.8 rating!!! >>> "Savage on tha beat!" That beat iz TOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKIN' HOT!!! That hook iz TOOO HOT!!! People just hatin' on Nu$$ie and it's fuckin' gay how there's haterz. Trust me, people from my college hate on me (especially when we're out of college). They think "oh because Frankie doesn't play a sport, he ain't nothin'." So yeah, definitely feelin' this (especially in my case). Wow I'm 3 WHOPPING HOURS into this review!!! Sorry Dee-1, but you lost tha record for longest review (I don't think you should be too upset since it's ya boy Jimmy that broke it and that you're on here anyway). One thing I LOVE about this Savage beat iz that it's CONSISTANTLY REPETITIVE and doesn't get boring! Nu$$ie + this beat = just as good as tha $500 scratch-off winner I got on June 23, 2008! Great rhymes, flowin' and tha beat! Nu$$ie takes anything and does a track tha RIGHT (or should I say tha DUMB) WAY!!! My Current Rating: 4.8
25. Dee-1 Feat. Mal, Tyrel & The Rebirth Brass Band "Rebirth"
It's either a Nu$ie or Dee-1 song 'cause I might've peeked when I was lookin' to see how many tracks were left. Gonna look at tha ID… *Checks ID* … Oh it's Dee-1 and tha "Rebirth" song along wit tha crew!! Great ending song!! *Goes and gets dinner, fishsticks that I'm not alergic to that don't give me flem*… Such a New Orleans anthem right here! >>> That's cool that your grandpa "has a pair of girbauds." I just love that band in this and this joint iz just crazy! Can't wait for it to really pop off on that promotion tip!! Great verses and great joint! Can't wait for all tha moments (especially wit me) to pop off wit this joint! My Current Rating: 4.6
Overall: End Time: 9:19 PM. It took me 3 hours and 14 minutes to review this right here (mainly 'cause I pretty much put my all into every track/skit on here). A huge improvement from "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1" and DEFINITELY a classic right here!!! I'm glad to have my name featured in it and I must say that all day, err-day, Louisiana >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lackawanna College. I say that 'cause look at this: Nu$$ie, who I don't even know in person and NEVA talked to online/on tha phone (I talk to his manager A1 a lot tho), shouted me out, while a few of tha so called "spick-ass-fags" at my college who I've talked to in person at once won't even write me back when I write them. I think it's 'cause I'm a "nothin'" to them and I mean a whole lot to Louisiana and tha music bu$ine$$. I'm a "nothin'" to them 'cause I choose not to catch and transfer a meesly fuckin' lil' football and instead choose to take 3+ hours out of my time to type this 13-14 page review. *Unexpected intermission* I guess I'm in a rush to call you 'cause I only had 3 fishsticks left and I wound up choking on one. It was actually, statistically, tha worst choking moment I had. Shit, fuckin' water was comin' out my eyes and some shit out my nose. It was stupid (or should I say "retarded"). But once again, VERY GOOD mixtape! 3 surprises happened (unexpectically havin' "Yo Swagger" come on (I knew Doonie was on here tho), "Goodnight Tonight" coming on Music Choice Dance and Nu$$ie shouting me out when I didn't expect for a second). Too bad tha $20 scratch-off was a loser. I expected that to be tha big surprise, lol. And tha stupid choking too. Well, it's a 3-way tie for tha best song on here (since I rated 3 songs wit a 4.8 rating (which was tha highest on here)). Let's see what's my favorite:
Rankings (according to ratings):
21. Sleep Feat. Big Gill, Kuale Boy, Dre Deuce & Payback "Watch Me Maneuver" 3.6
20. Konfo Feat. Pikasso "Let 'Em Lay" 3.9
19. Lil' Josh & Ernest Feat. Hurricane Chris "Jigga Juice (Remix)" 4.1
18. DJ Southpaw & Rackley "No Better Than This" 4.1
17. Baby L's "Pop It Off" 4.1
16. Nu$$ie Feat. Skull Duggrey, Bro Bro & Diablo "Dumb Way 2" 4.2
15. Lil' Yella Feat. Lil' Boosie "Chainz" 4.2
14. Big Gill (of Already Ent.) Feat. Sam I Am & Street Official "Jack Rabbit" 4.2
13. Nu$$ie Feat. Diablo "Shakedown" 4.3
12. Max Minelli "My Boi" 4.3
11. Kevin Gates Feat. Lil' Boosie "Get In The Way (Remix)" 4.3
10. JD Killa "N.O." 4.4
09. The Black Kadafi "Tin Man" 4.4
08. A-Mar & Dyl Feat. Max Minelli & VL Mike "To The Max (Remix)" 4.5
07. Dee-1 "I Hate Money" 4.6
06. Dee-1 Feat. Mal, Tyrel & The Rebirth Brass Band "Rebirth" 4.6
05. One-i & Jayroc Feat. Lil' Cali "Big Deal" 4.6
04. Lil' Doonie Feat. K-9 "Yo Swagger" 4.7
03. C-Murder Feat. Young Ready "Cock, Aim, Shoot" 4.8
02. B-Raw "Nutcase" 4.8
01. Nu$$ie Feat. Savage "They Hate My" 4.8
What I did to determine who would get my official favorite spot was I looked at what I was gonna rate each song before I gave my real rating. Originally, I wanted to give "Cock, Aim, Shoot" and "Nut Case" a 4.7 each and "They Hate My" I almost gave a 4.9 so I gave it to Nu$$ie. Either way, this iz DEFINITELY better than "Tha Carter III" and HAS a Louisiana feel and HAS a gutta feel and HAS a lot more HIGHER ratings from me! I do like "Tha Carter III", but it was missing those first 2 things I said (tha feel and tha guttaness). Once again, I'm gonna tell Alex McConduit about you comin' to tha show and promoting this "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2" mixtape. I also hope you get to meet and talk to Famous Stranger (that rapper from New Orleans, LA) I told you about on your blog. And did I miss anything… uh… Tha old record for longest review was set on March 31, 2008. It was Dee-1's "I Am Who I Am" mixtape. I typed 11 pages and tha review lasted 2 hours, 43 minutes. This turned out to be 13.5 pages and lasted 3 hours, 14 minutes! Congrats! You deserve it (especially since you're tha BEST FUCKIN' PERSON IN THA MUSIC BU$INE$$)!! I'm gonna make sure I promote this on Myspaces worldwide and make sure I do anything for you. Hit me up for any favors! This DEFINITELY deserved to be my 100th review and DEFINITELY deserved to delay 14 CDs/mixtapes I had to review. Also, this iz gonna be featured in my "Favorite Rap and R&B Songs of July 2008" video under tha "CDs/Mixtapes To Go Cop" section of tha month.

Review #56: Sleepy "The Prototype II: The Second Coming"
Reviewed
on 2.14.2008 & 2.15.2008 (Review No. 56)
Wat tha deal iz… It's yo boy Frankie checkin' in again. Happy Valentine's Day.
Tonight I'm reviewing this joint by Sleepy called "The Prototype
II: The Second Coming". I wonder how it's gonna turn out… Props to my boy
Jimmy The DJ for sendin' it to me! Start Time: 11:03 PM | Video Game
Playing: Tony Hawk Pro Skater (for Nintendo 64) (on my computer)
Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0
– 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!
I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long
as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and
then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a
song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6
rating, I pretty much really love it,
as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I
hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type
before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song;
anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m
listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me or have
auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not
buyin’ it!
© 2008 CD Review (Review #56)
reviewed on 2.14.2008 & 2.15.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. "Prototype II (Intro)"
Time to set tha bar on tha AL (anticipation level). Hopefully it's a good intro. >>> Tha background beat reminds me of Dee-1's "Priceless" beat. Yeah kinda long intro, but yeah, curious to see what this gon sound like. My Rating: N/A
02. "2nd Coming"
Not just "2nd coming", but it's also tha "2nd joint" on tha CD, lol. How'z this gon start off? >>> Sounds more on tha underground side of thangz. That's cool. Slow start to tha beat, but it sounds pretty good. I might not write much 'cause when I'm playin' Tony Hawk (for Nintendo 64 right now), I have to have both my hands together while workin' tha controls, so it's hard to play it. Anyway, pretty good hook and not bad for a start. Feelin' it. My Rating: 3.9
03. "Showtime"
Feelin' one of Weezy's latest jointz by tha same name. Will this be as good or have good competition wit tha Weezy joint? Lemme find out! >>> I didn't know you was from H-Town. I thought you was from Louisiana. Definitely feelin' tha rhymes on this joint, and tha hook iz pretty good. Yeah I know I feel Weezy's better, but this iz good. "I remember all tha old dayz when I was always picked last." This iz a true quote to me, and sadly still iz. When it comes to ANYTHING related to sports, I'm ALWAYS picked last no matter what; it pisses me tha fuck off! My Rating: 4.0
04. "I Can't Stop" Feat. TIG
First collabo. Let's hear this joint. >>> Decent beat, but not catchin' onto me that much as tha previous 2 jointz. My Rating: 3.6
05. "What That Do"
… >>> Sounds a lil' better. Decent start. Right as soon as tha 1st verse ended, I liked that "what-what-wha-wha-what-wha-what!" Sounds jammin', especially all tha times he says "what that do." My Rating: 3.8
06. "Baller Baby"
ller? Shouldn't it be more like lla? Hope it sounds good either way… >>> Yeah I pretty much like this tha same as No. 5; good hook and great rhymes. Beat iz also pretty good. I think I like this one better than No. 5. My Rating: 3.9
07. "Be Like Ya'll" Feat. B-3
Somethin' tells me I'm gonna really like this one for some reason… >>> Not what I expected… Sounds aight to me, but not what I anticipated. Tha rhymes are soundin' great. I just think some of these beatz need to be a lot hotter/better. My Rating: 3.6
08. "Interlude"
I'm tired as fuck… But I'm surviving, lol. >>> Wasn't really feelin' it. Tha idea of tryna be funny ain't workin' for me for some reason… My Rating: N/A
09. "5th Of Lick" Feat. Trally Boy & TIG
Iz this gon be a joint for tha ladies? >>> I like tha beat. It reminds me of one of those "squeeze toys" you buy for your dog/cat/mouse, lmao. Yeah throughout tha mixtape I've been feelin' tha rhymes all tha time. Hook iz pretty good too. My Rating: 4.2
½time: Nothin' mind-blowing, but pretty decent so far. Nothing has been disappointing as well.
10. "Can't Knock Tha Hustle"
A Jay-Z title originally. How will you do wit tha title? >>> A motivating song. Of course good lyrics, but I was almost about to say this has no interest in me. However, I seem to be gainin' interest by slowly hearin' tha rest of it. My Rating: 3.7
11. "Chillin' In Da Lot" Feat. Concept & Black Sheep
This better be good/somethin' I REALLY like 'cause of tha title! >>> Ya know I like tha hook. Definitely sounds more H-Town (or should I say "H-Than") style. Had a good feel to it. My Rating: 3.8
12. "Separate Ways" Feat. eSOULreal & Joi
You spelled "separate" wrong on tha tracklisting, lol. Anyway, I dunno what to expect wit this one… >>>> Smooth joint. Not my style, but soundin' good on Sleepy's handz (including tha girl in that). My Rating: 3.1
Break: 12:13 AM. Aight I can't stay up. I gotta get myself to catch some ZzzzzzZzzzz's. I'll finish this off tomorrow. >>> Aight I'm back, and it's 6:42 AM. I'm up so early 'cause I got college starting at 8:00 AM.
13. "Party Out" Feat. Big Fav
Looks good, so let's see how good it iz. >>> Beat iz cool so far. Good hook, and good 1st verse. Good 2nd verse too. This joint better than most of these jointz on here. This was jammin' all tha way through 'cause even tha 3rd verse was good. Great continuation start to this CD. What was wit tha 10 second silence at tha end? My Rating: 4.3
14. "Pop That" Feat. Concept
Another party anthem back 2 back? Lookin' forward to hearing! >>> Expected a "pop that pussy" type of song, but it looks like it's more on tha gangsta side of thangz wit a "pop that AK" type of song. I'm definitely feelin' it tho. Tha beat iz cool, especially during tha hook, but I thought that 2nd verse bored me for some reason. I dunno what exactly it was… I guess it was just tha continuous flowin' or somethin'. My Rating: 4.0
15. "Already"
Okay… what'll come out of this joint…? >>> Tha beat iz better so far on tha intro. Feelin' tha hook, and feelin' tha beat more! Definitely a jam right here. This CD seems to be pretty consistant eva since I went to sleep/woke up. Yeah Sleepy did his thang on here. Looks like this my favorite joint (unexpectically too) on this CD! Str8 up jammin' wit tha flow, lyrics, and everything about this. My Rating: 4.5
16. "It's Goin' Down Pt. 2" Feat. TIG
I know this whole CD has been original. I'm just hoping it's not wit tha Yung Joc/Nitti beat in tha background. I'm sure it ain't… And it's No. 16, so it must be good! >>> It's an original beat, and pretty decent so far. Not bad. "Take a brick to tha face, it's hard to swallow." Quoted that line 'cause it was good. It's still jammin' right here. My Rating: 3.9
17. "What Ever Happened" Feat. Joi
I expect a slow joint… >>> Yeah this kinda slow for me, but tha beat iz pretty good and I'm feelin' Joi on tha hook. I didn't expect this to be this good, but it was. Good job Sleepy & Joi. My Rating: 3.7
18. "Easier"
I think tha slowness iz gonna continue for this last joint. Let's see if I'm right. >>> Slow start, real lyrics, real life story, but I'm feelin' it. Tha hook iz aight, but like I said, I'm feelin' this song wit tha real life lyrics for some reason… I like tha "fuck you, it's just that easy!"'s. Yeah it ain't that easy to say "fuck you" to someone in my case, but you betta believe I do say it a lot behind someone's back. My Rating: 3.6
Overall: End Time: 2.15.2008 @ 7:18 AM. Not bad for this CD. Tha beginning was a lil' average and then it got a lil' better towards tha end.

02. "Party Out" Feat. Big Fav 4.3
01. "Already" 4.5
01. "Prototype II (Intro)"
Time to set tha bar on tha AL (anticipation level). Hopefully it's a good intro. >>> Tha background beat reminds me of Dee-1's "Priceless" beat. Yeah kinda long intro, but yeah, curious to see what this gon sound like. My Rating: N/A
02. "2nd Coming"
Not just "2nd coming", but it's also tha "2nd joint" on tha CD, lol. How'z this gon start off? >>> Sounds more on tha underground side of thangz. That's cool. Slow start to tha beat, but it sounds pretty good. I might not write much 'cause when I'm playin' Tony Hawk (for Nintendo 64 right now), I have to have both my hands together while workin' tha controls, so it's hard to play it. Anyway, pretty good hook and not bad for a start. Feelin' it. My Rating: 3.9
03. "Showtime"
Feelin' one of Weezy's latest jointz by tha same name. Will this be as good or have good competition wit tha Weezy joint? Lemme find out! >>> I didn't know you was from H-Town. I thought you was from Louisiana. Definitely feelin' tha rhymes on this joint, and tha hook iz pretty good. Yeah I know I feel Weezy's better, but this iz good. "I remember all tha old dayz when I was always picked last." This iz a true quote to me, and sadly still iz. When it comes to ANYTHING related to sports, I'm ALWAYS picked last no matter what; it pisses me tha fuck off! My Rating: 4.0
04. "I Can't Stop" Feat. TIG
First collabo. Let's hear this joint. >>> Decent beat, but not catchin' onto me that much as tha previous 2 jointz. My Rating: 3.6
05. "What That Do"
… >>> Sounds a lil' better. Decent start. Right as soon as tha 1st verse ended, I liked that "what-what-wha-wha-what-wha-what!" Sounds jammin', especially all tha times he says "what that do." My Rating: 3.8
06. "Baller Baby"
ller? Shouldn't it be more like lla? Hope it sounds good either way… >>> Yeah I pretty much like this tha same as No. 5; good hook and great rhymes. Beat iz also pretty good. I think I like this one better than No. 5. My Rating: 3.9
07. "Be Like Ya'll" Feat. B-3
Somethin' tells me I'm gonna really like this one for some reason… >>> Not what I expected… Sounds aight to me, but not what I anticipated. Tha rhymes are soundin' great. I just think some of these beatz need to be a lot hotter/better. My Rating: 3.6
08. "Interlude"
I'm tired as fuck… But I'm surviving, lol. >>> Wasn't really feelin' it. Tha idea of tryna be funny ain't workin' for me for some reason… My Rating: N/A
09. "5th Of Lick" Feat. Trally Boy & TIG
Iz this gon be a joint for tha ladies? >>> I like tha beat. It reminds me of one of those "squeeze toys" you buy for your dog/cat/mouse, lmao. Yeah throughout tha mixtape I've been feelin' tha rhymes all tha time. Hook iz pretty good too. My Rating: 4.2
½time: Nothin' mind-blowing, but pretty decent so far. Nothing has been disappointing as well.
10. "Can't Knock Tha Hustle"
A Jay-Z title originally. How will you do wit tha title? >>> A motivating song. Of course good lyrics, but I was almost about to say this has no interest in me. However, I seem to be gainin' interest by slowly hearin' tha rest of it. My Rating: 3.7
11. "Chillin' In Da Lot" Feat. Concept & Black Sheep
This better be good/somethin' I REALLY like 'cause of tha title! >>> Ya know I like tha hook. Definitely sounds more H-Town (or should I say "H-Than") style. Had a good feel to it. My Rating: 3.8
12. "Separate Ways" Feat. eSOULreal & Joi
You spelled "separate" wrong on tha tracklisting, lol. Anyway, I dunno what to expect wit this one… >>>> Smooth joint. Not my style, but soundin' good on Sleepy's handz (including tha girl in that). My Rating: 3.1
Break: 12:13 AM. Aight I can't stay up. I gotta get myself to catch some ZzzzzzZzzzz's. I'll finish this off tomorrow. >>> Aight I'm back, and it's 6:42 AM. I'm up so early 'cause I got college starting at 8:00 AM.
13. "Party Out" Feat. Big Fav
Looks good, so let's see how good it iz. >>> Beat iz cool so far. Good hook, and good 1st verse. Good 2nd verse too. This joint better than most of these jointz on here. This was jammin' all tha way through 'cause even tha 3rd verse was good. Great continuation start to this CD. What was wit tha 10 second silence at tha end? My Rating: 4.3
14. "Pop That" Feat. Concept
Another party anthem back 2 back? Lookin' forward to hearing! >>> Expected a "pop that pussy" type of song, but it looks like it's more on tha gangsta side of thangz wit a "pop that AK" type of song. I'm definitely feelin' it tho. Tha beat iz cool, especially during tha hook, but I thought that 2nd verse bored me for some reason. I dunno what exactly it was… I guess it was just tha continuous flowin' or somethin'. My Rating: 4.0
15. "Already"
Okay… what'll come out of this joint…? >>> Tha beat iz better so far on tha intro. Feelin' tha hook, and feelin' tha beat more! Definitely a jam right here. This CD seems to be pretty consistant eva since I went to sleep/woke up. Yeah Sleepy did his thang on here. Looks like this my favorite joint (unexpectically too) on this CD! Str8 up jammin' wit tha flow, lyrics, and everything about this. My Rating: 4.5
16. "It's Goin' Down Pt. 2" Feat. TIG
I know this whole CD has been original. I'm just hoping it's not wit tha Yung Joc/Nitti beat in tha background. I'm sure it ain't… And it's No. 16, so it must be good! >>> It's an original beat, and pretty decent so far. Not bad. "Take a brick to tha face, it's hard to swallow."

Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0

I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long

then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a
song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6
rating, I pretty much really love it,
as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I
hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type
before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song;
anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m
listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me or have
auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not

reviewed on 12.20.2007 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. "What You Know 'Bout Me"
Let's see how this joint's gonna kick this thang off! >>> Very good intro music! Lil' Boosie's brother? Nah I'm just playin', lol. Yeah he does sound like Lil' Boosie, and this iz sounding good. Real good rhymes, real good flow, and real good sounding! Great way to start this shit off! My Rating: 4.4
02. "I Ain't Playin'"
Wit a flow like tha one you got, I'm sure you ain't playin'. After that first joint, I got a High AL now for this joint due to that. >>> Yes more on tha gangsta side of thangs! More of a Webbie flow wit a Lil' Boosie voice on this joint. That's a real nice mix fa'real! Looks like this mixtape gon be consistant by tha looks of this and tha previous joint! My Rating: 4.3
03. "Beat It Up"
Yeah my boy A-Mar 'bout to kick sum MA'FUCKIN' ASS!!!!!!!!!!! >>> Let's see what he does on tha Yung Joc/Nitti beat… Like that line "fuckin' around in traffic." I'm likin' his rework of "It's Goin' Down". My Rating: 4.0
04. "Thug In Me" Feat. Young Hustle
Looking forward to this collab! High AL! >>> Lol… It's "Shoulder Lean" beat. Let's see what goes on wit this… Like tha rework on this too! "Hang around tha drug spots, that's tha thug in me" I like that. Good start by Young Hustle! "First I let my nuts hang, then I let my glock pop, then I let tha ma'fuckin' slap in tha whip knock." My Rating: 4.2
05. "Thug Cry" Feat. Dyl
After all these reworks, I'm guessin' this iz gonna be a rework of Z-Ro's "Man Cry"? *Gets a drink and comes back in 90 seconds…* >>> Naw close… Looks like it gon be a rework of Jay-Z's "Song Cry" >>> I thought I was goin' to dislike this for a second, but it's soundin' good 'cause A-Mar knows how to FUCKIN' rhyme!! That was good, so I gotta give it a thumbs up! My Rating: 4.0
06. "Handle Ya Beef" Feat. Young Phat & Kid
This looks like it's gon be a good collab! Looking forward!! >>> Yeah u tha "lil' one in tha back countin' yo cash" fa'sho! Great verse (of course) by A-Mar! Wow what an EXCELLENT start on Verse 2! "AK 47, 45, Mack 11, Toota Roota 38, 22, Smith N' Wessun, Desert Eagle…" That shit was REAL tight back 2 back on tha flow!! Shit thank God I'm hearing 76 minutes of A-Mar right now wit this mixtape! It's tha shit! A-Mar keep doin' yo MA'FUCKIN' THANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Cries* Tha song iz ending!! Real good song right there!! My Rating: 4.7
07. "My Gutta Wayz"
Aight title track, and looking forward (of course)! >>> I knew it was gonna be a rework 'cause of tha short length. Yeah I feel you on this. You may be sorry for yo gutta wayz, but at least they paid off fo thangz! My Rating: 4.0
08. "BR Boyz 2" Feat. Dyl
Baton Rouge stand tha FUCK UP!!!!! >>> Lil' old beat from 8 Ball & MJG "You Don't Want Drama" '04 style! Looks like it might sound like classic 'cause of tha '04 beat… Let's see… Really likin' that chorus mayne! It took a while for A-Mar to come on, but it was still good. My Rating: 3.8
09. Full Throttle Entertainment "Do Somethin'"
Let's see what FTE's got on this… >>> That dude (not A-Mar) on tha hook's killin' it! Shit that was real good for a hook boy! Like that "meal ticket mission" line. That fuckin' hook! I love it!!! Pretty good 2nd hook! Was really feelin' that dude (I think he's tha same one on tha hook) in tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd hook. Yeah tha hook again!! "More toys than a lil' kids closet" Nice line! "Catch a fuckin' round like a boxing match" Another nice line back 2 back! My Rating: 4.6
10. "Crank It Up" Feat. Black Vynm, Sleepy & Dee-1
Look at this collabo, and PLEASE be a rework of tha David Banner/Static joint!! High AL! >>> Oh it's not, but it looks like it's gon be sum fiya wit a nice underground beat! That was a nice verse by Black Vynm. Nice underground club banger wit a different/good twist! Of course, tha master a.k.a. A-Mar killin' it! "This iz how we life shawty, we gon keep it real" Shit that's another fuckin' good hook! Shit… This FUCKIN' MIXTAPE iz ON FIRE!!! My Rating: 4.4
½ Time: Holy shit!!! I think this iz tha BEST 1st ½ I've EVA had for a CD/mixtape! All but one joint got at least a 4.0 rating! A-Mar tha underground king of Baton Rouge, fa'real!
11. "U Don't Live Like I Live"
Yeah I know why… 'cause you're a fuckin' underground king! High AL on this joint! >>> Nice on tha "real" tip, just like wit how Lil' Wayne did on it originally. "Make it roll like dice" A thumbs up for that line. My Rating: 3.9
12. "My Dawgs"
A favorite title/subject of mine (Wes Fif did tha joint during tha Spring of this yer recently), so yeah, I got a High AL on this! >>> Yeah doin' err-thang wit yo dawgs! That's watz good. I try to do err-thang I can wit my dawgs, but they don't seem to connect wit me that much sadly. Wes Fif's song wit tha same title'll prolly never be beaten, but your's iz good too. My Rating: 4.2
13. "Keep It In The Studio" Feat. Young Hustle
Yeah tha return of Young Hustle! Got a High AL on this one too, and yeah, you better "keep it in tha studio" for now 'cause if it gets out, it'll be takin' ova tha whole rap game due to how GOOD A-Mar iz!! >>> Ooh tha beat iz soundin' cool. Yeah Young Hustle gon be one of tha next ones to blow ma'fucka! That was tight, ESPECIALLY wit Young Hustle on tha track! My Rating: 4.3
14. "Flow"
Let's see this quickie… >>> That was a pretty good lil' flow right there. My Rating: 3.7
15. "Mama"
>>> Nice sequel to No. 7. Was feelin' tha whole sequel thing and tha rhymes! My Rating: 3.8
16. "Down 2 Ride" Feat. JB & Young Hustle
Was thinkin' No. 16 was gonna look good, and its got Young Hustle on it!! Yeah I got a whole lot of AL for this! It gon be tha shit I know it!!! >>> Ooh "Ridin' Rims" beat… Nice verse by A-Mar and great 2nd verse! That hook iz nice. Sounds real good, and sounds like it grows on ya. My Rating: 4.1
17. "For The Money" Feat. Dyl
$ $ $ $ $ >>> Nice 1st verse by Dyl. That hook iz good. It's all about tha money mayne! My Rating: 3.9
18. "Let Me In"
Let's see watz good wit this joint… >>> Let's see how crunk this iz wit "Get Crunk" in tha background… Yeah you gotta get in! I agree wit u. "Treat my hataz like my dice, dawg, I'm shakin' 'em up!" Nice line. Tight flowin' on that classic beat. My Rating: 4.1
19. "What U Know 'Bout Me (Chopped & Screwed)"
Oh so these are bonuses huh? Looking forward to this C&S of that 1st HOT joint from this mixtape! >>> Now instead of Lil' Boosie, you soundin' like one of them dudes (from Wacko & Skip out tha N.O.; not sure which one). This was real good C&Sin', although tha voice could be a lil' more screwed… My Rating: 4.3
20. "Handle Ya Beef (Chopped & Screwed)" Feat. Young Phat & Kid
And what song was this again…? Oh this was my favorite from tha mixtape! Ooh so you know I'm really lookin' forward to hearin' it C&S style! >>> Sounded good, although I prefer tha original regular verison. My Rating: 4.1
21. "BR Boyz 2 (Chopped & Screwed)" Feat. Dyl
And tha finally joint/finally joint C&S style… >>> This sounded nice C&S. I think I'm goin' to rate it higher than I rated tha original version. My Rating: 4.0
Overall: End Time: 11:18 PM. Wow what a mixtape! I sure did enjoy that! Once again, thanx so much to my dawg Jimmy The DJ for sendin' me this joint as a bonus! That was REALLY worth it. And no offense, but this mixtape was better than tha "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1", but I gotta give that one credit 'cause that's how I found out who A-Mar was, ya dig? So yeah, this iz definitely one of tha best reviews I've done! A-Mar and Young Hustle are tha next to blow, ya feel me!!

Let's see watz good wit this joint… >>> Let's see how crunk this iz wit "Get Crunk" in tha background… Yeah you gotta get in! I agree wit u. "Treat my hataz like my dice, dawg, I'm shakin' 'em up!" Nice line. Tight flowin' on that classic beat. My Rating: 4.1
19. "What U Know 'Bout Me (Chopped & Screwed)"
Oh so these are bonuses huh? Looking forward to this C&S of that 1st HOT joint from this mixtape! >>> Now instead of Lil' Boosie, you soundin' like one of them dudes (from Wacko & Skip out tha N.O.; not sure which one). This was real good C&Sin', although tha voice could be a lil' more screwed… My Rating: 4.3
20. "Handle Ya Beef (Chopped & Screwed)" Feat. Young Phat & Kid
And what song was this again…? Oh this was my favorite from tha mixtape! Ooh so you know I'm really lookin' forward to hearin' it C&S style! >>> Sounded good, although I prefer tha original regular verison. My Rating: 4.1

And tha finally joint/finally joint C&S style… >>> This sounded nice C&S. I think I'm goin' to rate it higher than I rated tha original version. My Rating: 4.0
Overall: End Time: 11:18 PM. Wow what a mixtape! I sure did enjoy that! Once again, thanx so much to my dawg Jimmy The DJ for sendin' me this joint as a bonus! That was REALLY worth it. And no offense, but this mixtape was better than tha "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1", but I gotta give that one credit 'cause that's how I found out who A-Mar was, ya dig? So yeah, this iz definitely one of tha best reviews I've done! A-Mar and Young Hustle are tha next to blow, ya feel me!!

Review #31: Jimmy The DJ "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1 (Hosted by Dee-1)"
Reviewed on
11.27.2007 (Review
No. 31)
Watz good Jimmy The DJ, my homie. This yo boy Frankie. Here goes my review for
tha "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1" mixtape. By tha way, to prove that I
really wanna listen to this mixtape, I'm POST-PONING doing BOTH my Ethics paper
that I have to fix, as well as my Macroeconomics test that I still have to do
(which I can use my notes and do it at my house due to I'm Autistic, and got a
lot of shit to do wit Ethics). Either way, I'm really anticipated for this
because I don't know what to expect… I didn't read tha tracklisting (which I
usually don't at first), and I'm looking forward to hearing some new talent,
ESPECIALLY outta tha N.O.!
I will rate each song from 1.0 – 4.0. 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), so 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, and anything after I type "
>>> " iz what I think of tha song while I'm listening
to it. So here it goes, and at tha end, I'll tell you one main reason why I
really wanted this mixtape (tha first reason was 'cause of tha dope cover).
Start Time: 10:01 PM.
01. "Intro"
Aight a :30 intro. I won't rate this due to there's prolly not gonna be a rap in it, but lemme see wat it sounds like: >>> Intro just gets me more anticipated to hear tha mixtape! My Rating: N/A
02. Dee-1 "Murder Capitol"
Aight here it goes 1st song, new rapper to me, so High AL (anticipation level)! >>> Nice start. Tha beat has it goin' on at different parts, and I'm liking that. Tha hook sounds pretty good for a start. Nice 1st verse. Good 2nd & 3rd verse! I actually can't get enough of that hook, it's real tight! Oh real nice speeding tempo at tha end! My Rating: 4.1
03. Nu$$ie Feat. Skull Duggery "Dumb Way"
Like tha title, and tha rapper names seem cool, so another High AL! >>> Ooh Nu$$ie sounds pretty good on his part. Nice verse by him, and nice line "call me Nu$$ie Bad Azz." Nice hook. Sounded a lil' like a "Wipe Me Down" beat in tha background. 2nd verse was good, but 3rd verse iz soundin' real good. Good joint as well! My Rating: 3.9
04. Lil' Witness "You Right"
Got some more High AL! >>> Real nice smooth beat intro! He's got a good flow, and this iz somethin' I think I would like. Nice hook! Sounded like another speeded ending. My Rating: 4.0
05. Team Yea Yea "Woozy"
Let's see… >>> Sounds like a club banger. This one sounds better than most club bangers out now. Good verses and hook for a club banger. My Rating: 3.8
06. Sleep Feat. Big Gill & Kuale Boy "House Shoes"
Let's see this 3 way collaboration; looking forward! >>> That sound effect from Soulja Boy/"Ain't Gon Let Up"/"PB&J" that I like. This iz okay for me… My Rating: 3.5
07. B-Raw Feat. Gutta "Parking Lot 2 Picture Booth"
Could be good. Let's find out… >>> Ooh tha beat iz bangin'!! Shit this iz bangin'!! B-Raw kickin' sum mu'fuckin' ass!! DEFINITELY lucky no. 7 on tha mixtape!! My Rating: 4.6
08. Young Tre "In Da Hood"
I think Dirty South Radio has this (I saw them play a Young Tre song yesterday). I think this iz Bohagon's dude? Not really sure, but High AL iz what I'm sure of! >>> Nice that it did tha same sample as what Brisco did (tha Bun B sample from Webbie, Lil' Boosie & Bun B's "Show Ya Tattoos (Remix)" from 2005). Nice beat, and pretty good on tha flow. I like that it's a lil' slower than tha Brisco/Lil' Wayne joint. Pretty good. He sounds very slightly like Lil' Wayne on tha vocals. Nice lil' line at tha end "fresh 'bauds, white tee." I like seein' rappers/people wit Girbauds. That's really watz good. They're my favorite type of pants, and I love 'em. My Rating: 3.8
EDIT: My bad, this ain't Bohagon's dude (that's Playboy Tre); this dude's cool though.
09. Konfidence Feat. Pikasso "The Anthem"
It's all about "tha anthems"!! Right now 2 jointz got it goin' on wit tha title "Anthem". One joint iz Pitbull/Lil' Jon, and tha other one iz a vocal trance song by Filo & Peri/Eric Lumiere. Both bangin', so let's see if this can be tha 3rd! >>> Good intro so far! Good verses, and great hook! Beat iz bangin'! Like tha beginning of tha hook "runnin' from tha kush." 3rd verse was on point! My Rating: 4.1
EDIT: Neva mind, it's "blunted from tha kush;" that's tight right there!
10. A-Mar & Dyl "Knock 'Em Out"
High AL, and I see it's A-Mar, tha dude who's mixtape you gave me as a bonus (his 2005 mixtape "My Gutta Wayz"). Lookin' forward to that, but let's get into this! >>> Odd sounding in tha beat background, but it should be good! Very Lil' Boosieish on tha vocals. Not bad. I damn near lost my mood for tha song due to I kept screwin' up in this video game I was playin' on my computer (Diddy Kong Racing for Nintendo 64), but tha joint turned out nice still. My Rating: 3.7
11. Lil' Boosie Feat. SCC "Livin' What I'm Spittin'"
Oh speaking of Mr. Bad Azz here he iz. Looking forward to a new joint of his, especially wit a feature! Very High AL!!! >>> Real nice verse by Boosie. Soundin' great. Nice rhymes throughout tha whole song! My Rating: 4.4
12. "Skit"
Right in time for tha ½ time! >>> Oh that's you Jimmy. That's watz good. 'Preciate you droppin' by. My Rating: N/A
Halftime: So far so good. I hope it stays that way. Hopefully there's at least 1 more shocking joint like No. 7!
13. Dee-1 Feat. Zella & La La "Priceless"
Aight let's see if he holds it down on this joint as well! >>> Decent start. What's wit that girl throughout tha hook? Sounds pretty good. For some reason I'm starting to loss interest? I don't know why… My Rating: 3.5
14. JD Killa "Red Bandana"
>>> Nice beginning. Really like that laugh in tha beginning. I have that sound effect on my iPod, and it's funny. Looking forward to hearing! Cheesy sample on tha hook! Feelin' tha lyrics to tha hook, but that sample has to go! Tha song came out pretty good tho on tha verses. Nice "yeah boy" (Public Enemy sample) at tha end! My Rating: 3.7
EDIT: Didn't mean to criticize it at first; I think it's a cool joint.
15. Sleepy "Believe Me"
I hope I believe it's good. Not sure what to expect. >>> I had a feeling I wasn't gonna feel it. Didn't catch on. I don't have any interest. My Rating: 2.6
16. STS Records "I Can Make You Famous"
Usually No. 16 iz a real good joint most of tha time for me when it comes to me reviewing shit, so hopefully this'll revive that incident of No. 15! >>> Like tha speed of tha track, but hopefully it catches on… Hehe… he mentioned Girbauds… This iz not sounding like a Louisiana song or a dirty south song… Reminds me of LL Cool J "Headsprung" wit tha flowing. My Rating: 3.4
17. Shome "Closer"
Maybe this'll revive tha mixtape? >>> Sounds good on tha intro. Nice and slow. Oh no female sample. I don't really go for those female samples, especially high pitched. Great rhymes, but not my type of song unfortunately. Oh yeah nice speeding at tha end. My Rating: 2.5
18. VL Mike "Ether (B.G. Diss)"
Oh no… a B.G. diss! Sorry, but not looking forward! >>> Booo… thumbs down to tha "Ether" beat no less… Wow he's mad… I like his temper. My Rating: 3.0
19. J-Balla "Showin' Up"
Aight maybe this'll make a come back. I have a High AL finally so let's have faith in it!! >>> Nice start, and more wit tha Girbauds! Real nice hook fa'real! J-Balla be ballin'! Oh really feelin' tha 2nd verse!! "I'm on my shit, I be showin' up!" <- That's tha shit right there!! What a comeback to tha mixtape!! And nice that instead of speedin' up, it was slowin' down towards tha end! My Rating: 4.5
20. Nuttiochie Boyz "Like We Jigg"
Maybe a club banger? Hope this mixtape ends wit bangers!! >>> Crunk rock start… I like tha 1st verse, and all that "ya'll niggas can't jig like we jig"ness. Another mention to Girbauds when he said "'baud pants" at 2:23. My Rating: 3.5
21. Shome "New Orleans Freestyle"
She's back again…? Hopefully some fire… outta a freestyle. >>> Not really feelin' tha beat (it sounds like Jay-Z's "Encore" or "Show Me What You Got". Not sure which one). She does flow good on it, and that was real short, so I guess it gets a thumbs up. My Rating: 3.3
22. Sleep Feat. Big Gill & Kuale Boy "Check Us Out"
Aight I'll check you out again. Heard tha beginning of tha beat on accident, but it sounded real dope, so I got a High AL! >>> Yeah tha beat iz dope! That's a good line for when you wanna spread your music around "gon check us out, we from tha south!" Great production on tha track! Sounded pretty good throughout tha song. My Rating: 4.0
23. The Steppaz "Step Up"
Cool… Why not, a High AL. >>> Good beat start! I guess it's pretty good sounding. Good hook. My Rating: 4.2
24. B-Raw "Freestyle"
Okay how will it end wit only 1:02 remaining? I think there should've been an outro, but I heard tha 1st second of this, and it was tha "Make 'Em Say Ugh" beat. Let's see what he did to it. >>> Too cold of an ending, but he did his thang. My Rating: 3.7
Overall: End Time: 11:53 PM. Not bad for tha 1st time hearing a "Gangsta Gumbo" mixtape! Beginning was real dope, but then it went downhill on about ½ of tha 2nd ½. At least there was that one surprise that I was expecting on tha 2nd ½, and it was at No. 19! And here's that main reason why I got tha mixtape: I'm currently goin' to college, and I'm on my 3rd semester. During tha 2nd semester, I met this dude Jeff Gumbs, and we became cool. During tha 3rd semester I wanted to build my friendship wit him, and when I wanted this mixtape from you, we were cool. About ONE WEEK LATER, he didn't stick up for me (like a friend should – I told this dude Tressor off 'cause he was talkin' shit to me, and Jeff was laughin' while it happened. Then when I mentioned it to Jeff on Facebook, he was like "I ain't fuckin' protectin' you!! What tha hell do I look like?? You want everyone to be all nice to you, but here you are givin' niggas tha finger and shit"), and he told me to not write him anymore on Facebook, so since 10.19.2007, I never talked/wrote him. It's like WTF? I'm one of tha best/nicest people in tha world! Yesterday I gave my mom $80 and a $20 lottery ticket as an early Christmas present! What person does that these dayz? He don't know what he's missing! He used me 'cause I had his back when it came to missing class. I gave him tha notes, I burned him mixtapes and shit like that, and I get this in return? Whatever… I told him I was Autistic, and I think that ruined our friendship sadly. He thinks I use my disability as an excuse for everything? I do use it for a lot of things, but shit, he's an asshole. At least his name and tha name of this mixtape compilation sparked tha attention of mine to get this mixtape, and I'm glad I got it from you/glad I talked to you those times. I heard better mixtapes in tha past, but yours still gets a thumbs up from me. Keep doin' yo thang, and prolly later this week hopefully I'll check out A-Mar's "My Gutta Wayz". And now, here are tha rankings (according to ratings):

I will rate each song from 1.0 – 4.0. To determine
