R.I.P. Video #79: Rambo K Kutta

Recorded April 7, 2021

Broadcasting from tha steel mill, here in East Stroudsburg, PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog here, sadly reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community.

Rayfel Matta, Jr., known by his stage name, Rambo & later, Rambo K Kutta, was murdered in Baton Rouge, LA, on tha 5500 block of McClelland Drive on Saturday, April 3, 2021, at around 6:00 PM; he was only 34 years-old. Matta was movin' around toward a convenience store's front entrance when a gunshot struck him. Twelve dayz later, on April 15th, a 16 & 17-year-old teen were arrested by tha Louisiana State Police Task Force, as well as tha Attorney General Fugitive Apprehension. Tha teens were later booked into Juvenile Detention, where they were charged with both second-degree murder & illegally using a weapon.

Matta was born on August 21, 1986, representin' tha '80s Babies in Our 30's click; Matta was a native of Baton Rouge, LA. Matta caught tha attention of Black Balloon Baton Rouger, Ray Vicks; Matta started his rap career off by goin' by just "Rambo", collaboratin' with Vicks on his 2010 release, 36 Os Later. Matta kept his reputation in tha streets goin' from Baton Rouge & even throughout other coasts, collaboratin' with Baton Rouge's then-Lil' Boosie, Cain Muzik Mafia & Zoe Realla. Durin' 2016, DJ Killa Touch & Kool DJ Supamike hosted his Squirm G-collaborated Drugs-N-Jewelz mixtape, as Matta continued to put that Black Balloon on. Matta kept tha underground streetz on lock until Saturday, April 3, 2021, where he was gunned down outside a convenience store in Baton Rouge, LA.

Review #1,331: 31st Deedy "Street Lights: Episode 2"

Reviewed on 10.01.2013 (Review #1,331)

Went so hard wit tha reviewz yesterday that my back started gettin’ to me, and I ran outta time before tha month ended. So now, I got some time today, before I get back to cookin’ up my upcomin’ video countdown on my top 50 summer anthems of 2013. This review I finna do iz for B.O.W. Entertainment’s 31^st Deedy Street Lights: Episode 2. Props to Deedy for tweetin’ it to me! However, this CD’s 1:49:40 long (a ½-hour longer than what can fit on a disc)? No copies sold in tha streetz? No… Start Time: 6:29 PM | End Time: 8:19 PM

Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it! After I was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

01. “Tax Free” Feat. Savage & T-Mck

I see that Savage produced this… Once I saw that, I thought it was just an intro, but wit Savage & T-Mck on tha feature, this looks like a really-anticipatin’ joint, so I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this!! >>> T Mck on tha intro, here… Sounds like I can hear tha standby sound (like, when a TV’s on) in tha background, lol… Glad he got us all hyped up fa this! Hearin’ tha Savage beat, and of course, it’s pure as pure can be! Likin’ tha hook, here, as you luv “sellin’ dope,” Deedy! Glad you keepin’ your hustle game up! Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through, fightin’ tha taxes that come to you! Speakin’ of taxes, smh @ this: I was in New York, ordering my microphone that I use to host/do interviewz, and if I was in Pennsylvania at tha time, there would’ve been no “tax.” But, in New York, tha “tax” was $18.00; gay!!! Got tha big dawg/king, Sav on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through like a big dawg shit! Yea, he “know” all tha way around! Speakin’ of “arab money,” lol, Music Choice: Rap played Soulja Boy Tell’em & Arab “Yahhh!” earlier today, after it had been a long minute! LOL, #TBTuesday, back when I first tried to get Savage to pay attention to my reviewz! That’s anotha good thing about Savage’s beatz: This sounds like those good, 2007/2008 productions from BR; Savage always has that quality!! And, here’s tha 3^rd verse from you, Deedy, comin’ through wit dat good-good, once again! My Rating: 4.8 (tha Savage vibe/verse made me rate this pretty high!)

02. “Fck” Feat. 38 $limm & Ray Vicks

No “u”, lol? D.Boy doin’ production, here… >>> I like how this sounds fa tha beginning…; nice job on tha hook, Deedy! Hearin’ 38 Slimm on tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through wit a great flow/voice fa this! This that Big Head-like production, and it sounds nice fa you ta have!! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, here, and Ray Vicks comin’ through wit dat street shit; can’t deny it! Here’s you on tha 3^rd verse, and speakin’ of “bologna,” today, I ate those frozen dinosaurs that taste like chicken. Today, it tasted like when you fry a regular slice of bread and turkey, lol. But, needless to say, you did ya thang on this, too, Deedy! My Rating: 4.4

03. “Nothing On You” Feat. Dre Chatman

Like B.O.B. & Bruno? Looks like it gon be mo gutta wit Guss Make My Beats on tha track! >>> Kinda a pop/urban vibe, a lil’ bit; caught me by surprise, in a good way, a lil’ bit… Tha hook sounds nice wit Dre on it… Sounds like you got a lotta luv fa this bitch on tha 1^st verse, here; I always picture a bed and a bright shine in tha window when I hear tracks like this, lol. Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, too; it feels like summer, though it finna start gettin’ cold again! Same thing wit tha 3^rd verse, too: Just keepin’ it consistent! My Rating: 4.2

04. “Grown Folks Music” Feat. Dre Chatman

I think you’re my age. If not, one year younger. I’m 25; I feel like I ain’t near “grown,” yet, as people still need to take me serious, and I still look pretty young, like a kid. Let’s see what you brought to tha table, here, wit Ken On Da Track on tha beat. >>> Seemed like a long beat intro, though only 26 seconds… This beat ain’t too bad, but if it’s like tha previous song, then, I already liked tha previous song better… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and once again, I picture that bed, though this time, it bein’ dark out, lol! Tha hook sounds catchy, just like tha previous song, so I’m feelin’ it! Almost reminds me of a younger Savage! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, too; once again, blendin’ in wit each verse. Tha 3^rd verse iz catchy as hell wit all this X-rated shit! LOL @ tha “harder” and “video games” reference. You would think Lana Del Rey & Savage go together wit their “Sanatra” aliases, lol!! Anyway, it was close, but I think I like tha previous song better, due to tha vibe. My Rating: 4.1

05. “No Love Fo Tammy” Feat. Deezy Cain

Anytime I see, “No Love…,” as tha title, I instantly think of tha hotness of 3D Na’Tee, lol! But, Ken doin’ anotha track, here! >>> Already likin’ tha beat start, here; sounds like we’re focused and ready ta pop someone/somethin’! Tha hook sounds nice wit you on it; good shit! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and it sounds good wit how these “hoes” be fuckin’ up! Tha beat sounds a lil’ like those old Big Wayne beats, where that beat pattern would go nuts, lol! Tha 2^nd verse iz Deezy Cain, and it’s rhymes that sound good fa this track; that’s all I have ta say about it. Tha 3^rd verse sounds catchy wit you on it, tellin’ ‘em to “go to a nursing home;” damn, Deedy! Damn! My Rating: 4.3

06. “Under The Influence”

“U.T.I.” wit K-E-N on tha beat, lol! >>> Likin’ tha vocal effects in tha beginning, lol! Talk about havin’ a DUI, all right! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and it sounds good wit you havin’ this “under-tha-influence” vibe! Keep pourin’ up! Tha hook sounds nice; all about that “highest” feeling!! You’re makin’ me anticipate to go back to an abandoned building again, Deedy!! I, unfortunately, have to put everything aside ‘cause I need to find a job and complete my eight upcoming VH1-like video countdowns! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, here. LOL @ tha “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” reference. Tha remix wit Jay-Z’s actually playin’ in tha background on Music Choice: Rap, right now! Perfect timing? I didn’t plan it, lol! My Rating: 4.3

07. “The Game” Feat. Percy Keith & Squirm G

Damn, you got a hold of Percy Keith? I thought he only answers chicks? Looks like an anticipatin’ collab, here, wit Rich On Da Trak (he took out tha “c” in “Trak,” lol?) comin’ outta nowhere ta hook up a track! >>> This sounds nice wit that beginning part… Tha beat’s real interesting, like, on some New York/Chi-Town-type shit! Didn’t realize it was Percy Keith, at first; he sounds nice on this track! Ugh, what will it take to catch his attention? Reviewz and playlists are not working! I expect better from 1984 babies! Tha 2^nd verse iz Squirm Gee, here, and it sounds good. Almost sounds a lil’ like Cory Gunz—I dunno why I keep thinkin’ some of y’all sound like him, but it’s good. Here you are on tha 3^rd verse, spittin’ some throwback memories. Consistent rhymes, here, like B.O.W. Ent.-type people ‘pose to come through wit it! My Rating: 4.4

08. “P.A.N.” Feat. Donkey & DNic

I know a bunch of “P.A.N.”s, or B.A.N.s, as I like to specifically say, since most are broke! It’s about time somebody in Louisiana made a “P.A.N.” song, I think. It been eight years since Ray Cash, Bun B & Pastor Troy did it, so I’m lookin’ forward ta this 2013 perspective! >>> B…eat…tag…, and it’s a sample… Anyway, I’m really likin’ this beat start; sounds real anticipatin’! Sounds like some Q-Red “ahh”s in tha background, too, so tha anticipation’s here! Tha hook sounds good; glad you exposin’ dem “P.A.N.”s!! You sound good on tha 1^st verse, strictly comin’ through wit dat attitude dat wards off pussies! Hearin’ this Donkey on tha 2^nd verse, and I’m really likin’ how they comin’ through on this track! Talk about some nice attitude!! Almost thought it was a 22-year-old Kevin Gates (remember, tha ’08 dayz?) on tha 3^rd verse, but it’s DNic! Almost thought it was Lee Banks, too, lol! They sound pretty nice; feelin’ tha gangsta shit! Nice and consistent, here!! Next Kevin Gates in tha underground? My Rating: 4.5

09. “Fo My Homies” Feat. Que Tha Truth & Alexander The Gee

Likin’ this lineup, wit Ken doin’ anotha beat! >>> Tha hook sounds nice; I’m feelin’ tha sample on tha hook wit this beat. Kinda reminds me of H-Town or somethin’. Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit peeps dat “don’t play.” I dunno if I can agree wit all tha “Gus” shit (not tha Guss Make My Beats Guss; tha other Gus, without tha extra “s”). I still feel uncomfortable how he ain’t like my Wne tribute video, and wanted it deleted! It’s like, I don’t live in Louisiana, so tha way I get my news stories are online, of course! It really was tha end of me makin’ tribute videos for those that I barely knew. Anyway, back to tha track: Que sounds good on tha 2^nd verse! Diggin’ tha consistency; lots of rhymes to offer! Now, let’s hear this Alexander dude on tha 3^rd verse… Just like tha both of y’all, he sounds pretty nice on here… My Rating: 4.2

10. “Feel Good” Feat. Kareem

Ken on anotha track; lemme see what this be ‘bout… >>> Really likin’ tha beat, here!! Sounds like it samples an oldies track or somethin’ (like, “Under The Boardwalk”, or whateva that song iz), into a true 225 sound!! Definitely gon make someone “feel good!” Nice joint fa tha hoes, here, Deedy! You sound good on tha 1^st verse on this beat! I like how tha hook also has how you “not ‘pose to.” It’s always great to be risky! My best form of bein’ risky iz goin’ wherever to get footage! Like, last year, I drove almost five hours to Virginia to get a picture/video of tha jail my uncle went to, to use it in a film about my lost equipment! Dope! Anyway, Kareem on tha 2^nd verse, and I thought he was gonna suck, at first. However, he sounds great on this track wit how he comin’ through wit it! Rappin’ from Louisiana at its finest! Great collaboration! Here you are on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit a nice “blunt;” fire dat bitch up! My Rating: 4.5

11. “Still Gotta Have You” Feat. Pretty Honore

Ken doin’ anotha beat… >>> This iz anotha nice beat, here. Hearin’ tha hook and this joint goes wit those Dre Chatman collaborations… I think I liked tha both of them betta, but let’s see how this continues ta be… Tha 1^st verse ain’t bad; it’s you describin’ some dreams and what you be doin’ to these hoes. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, and it’s a female… She sounds like a teenager, and it’s not bad, here… Tha 3^rd verse sounds like you got psychic powers, as this “crystal ball” defines what you’re expectin’… LOL, ended outta nowhere. My Rating: 3.7

12. “Phast Liphe” Feat. Racked-Up Ready & Dirty Bird

Don’t think I eva heard this Dirty Bird dude (EDIT: Beat Flippa's Street Certified 2 CD)… Once again, production by Deedy’s truly (lol), Ken!! >>> Oh, now, I see what tha title defines: “Fast Life,” lol. I’m feelin’ how Ken did tha damn thang on this beat! Tha hook’s pretty nice, strictly on dat “hustlin’” tip! Nice! Tha 1^st verse from you sounds good, here; stay on yo grind! Got this husaholic Ready on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through, like a “young, ruthless nigga.” I feel you, Ready… LOL, Miley Cyrus “We Can’t Stop” randomly came up in my head (since spring 2000, I have music play in my head (even wit music playing—like this joint right now and Music Choice: Rap, too—music still comes on in my head). I can control it, but can’t stop it), and Ready, you said, “Molly,” lol; ironic… Hearin’ this Dirty Bird dude on tha 3^rd verse, and he sounds nice! Once again, anotha potential dude ta have good shit come outta dat Boot! LOL, this ended outta nowhere, too! Cold endings!! My Rating: 4.4

13. “Me & My Girl” Feat. Dre Chatman

Here we go, wit CJ on tha beat… >>> Yuck @ tha hook and this sound; too poppy for me! Good thing for tha A$AP Rocky, Drake, 2 Chainz & Kendrick Lamar “Fuckin’ Problems” on Music Choice: Rap, right now, as it’s washing away my attention from this song… But, if I had to comment on tha verses, they’re nice… Like, nice, as if you were in a white community. My Rating: 2.3

½time: Mainly, this CD goes real hard/duffy!! Most of it’s pretty tight, except that song I just reviewed! Other than that, you’re lookin’ at a 4.2 for tha CD rating, currently!!

14. “Trap House” Feat. 38 $limm & Rambo K Kutta

Don’t think I heard of this Rambo dude, but I’m anticipatin’ this! D.Boy on tha beat… >>> Wasn’t really feelin’ tha “gettin’ money” beginning, as well as this beat soundin’ a lil’ like a mainstream, typical rap song, but it ain’t too bad… Tha hook’s a lil’ catchy. My interest ain’t all tha way there when it’s “money” songs, but it’s better than tha previous song. Tha 1^st verse sounds catchy; not bad rhymes, but it’s always good ta have these kinda songs, right? When I went into tha abandoned Kings Park Psych Ward, I literally felt like I was in a “trap house;” it was therapeutic to me, lol, ‘cause I dealt wit a lotta bullshit this year! Here’s some pics of it:

And, a bonus pic. I'm sure you know tha status of me here, lol:

Anyway, sounds like 38 $limm on tha 2^nd verse; didn’t realize three minutes went by, but he sounds good on this track. Good job wit teamin’ up wit people, Deedy! Got tha Rambo dude on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit some catchiness, here. He sounds like he’s got a good voice ta be hidden in tha “trap house,” lol. My Rating: 3.9

15. “15 Cents” Feat. Ray Vicks

Ironic to be #“15” on this CD (was that planned?). Once again, got your D.Boy on tha track, here! >>> Cool beat start, here; sounds better than tha previous beat, so far. Tha hook’s simple, as you’re “tryna make a dollar outta 15 cents;” I feel ya. Ooh, beat’s pretty kick-ass wit those sounds durin’ tha 1^st verse, here!! Luvin’ it!! As far as your rhymes go, they’re good; your flow iz catchy, here, as you’re havin’ fun wit this “dirty money” and shit. Good shit; I feel ya! I like tha “all this grass I’m sellin’, I should have me a lawn service” line; dope! Ray Vicks sounds good on tha 2^nd verse, here, always “in tha kitchen,” lol. My Rating: 4.4

16. “Real Or Fake” Feat. Dre Chatman, T-Dub & Racked-Up Ready

You already know, we all deal wit this kinda title, frequently. It sux that so many try to prove themselves and win people over wit their fakeness! Now that I’m very occupied wit myself and my video countdowns, I feel like I don’t need to boost my ego in any way…, unless I’m in tha video business, but screw tha music-promoting side. CJ on tha beat… >>> Cool beat, here, and okay singin’ on this hook… I forgot Dre was on this; didn’t even picture singin’ wit a title like this… Here you are on tha 1^st verse, disapprovin’ tha “99.9%” dudes; I feel ya! Good job wit tha 1^st verse, here. Now, time fa tha females ta step in (T-Dub)! She sounds great on this 2^nd verse; all greatness, here! Glad she made this CD! And now, Mr. Ready on tha 3^rd verse, analyzin’ tha streetz at all times!! Good shit! This turned out ta be somethin’ great; that singin’ iz catchin’ on a lil’ betta wit me, now… My Rating: 4.3

17. “Smokers Section”

After all these jointz, here you are, by yourself, smokin’. That’s what’s up! It took me to be up 12 stories high to catch a high for tha 1^st time… I know I gon feel some sorta high wit Rich On Da Trak doin’ anotha beat! >>> Of course, luvin’ this “I smoke blunts” shit repeatin’ in tha hook; tha beat’s real nice, too, wit that organ!! Damn, 4:48 on tha length? I think I’m hungry fa it all!! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and you even got dem “seeds;” you might be able to write tha book on marijuana, lol! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice wit all this “weed” essence all around! You know when tha “clothes smell” like it, you’re in for good luck! Tha 3^rd verse sounds good, too; can’t deny any of this!! My Rating: 4.5

18. “Dope Boi Swag” Feat. Savage & Ree-Up

Looked at tha title and was like, “Ehh…,” but I see that Savage iz featured and produced this!! Also, neva heard of this Ree-Up dude/people (EDIT: Heard them 3x); definitely lookin’ forward!! >>> Already likin’ tha beginning beat, of course!! “Mobb shit, bitch;” lol, Sav said it like he was high and calm! Savage can pull this title/hook off; catchy as hell, and you can’t deny tha pure sound!! We got Deedy on tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through wit tha “smokin’,” still! I swear, it could’ve been tha sequel to tha previous song—kinda seems like it, since it’s right after it! Okay, hearin’ this Ree-Up dude on tha 2^nd verse, and they said, “Bad Azz Entertainment,” so I assume they’re with them. They sound good, here; sounds perfect fa some “Bad Azz Entertainment”-type shit! Once again, anotha potential dude ta make noise! Ooh, “Big Sav” on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit his supply—everything you see him in! “I been hustlin’ since 12;” he’s tha decade-older version of my cousin, Lil’ Willy, who was in tha streetz before 16! Definitely comin’ through wit tha heat, Sav!! A beast; dat voice always makes tha tracks sound pure, but only fa tha big dawgz! My Rating: 4.7

19. “Built Like Me” Feat. YNW$
Thought I saw this feature somewhere else, but neva heard them. I dunno about tha “$” in their name; we’ll see when I hear this… CJ on tha beat! >>> Beat’s pretty good, here… Tha hook sounds pretty catchy, too; can’t complain, here. Tha 1^st verse sounds good, too, stayin’ active in tha streetz! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, too; you keepin’ this shit consistent, here. Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse, and it’s this YNW$ dude. Sounds like he’s wit Mista’s camp, and sounds like him. I’ll give him props fa bein’ on here… Or, iz this YNW$ on tha 4^th verse? LOL, can’t tell, but it prolly iz. They sound good, on some Bad Azz Ent.-type shit, once again. Pretty gutta wit this stealing he did back in tha day, lol. My Rating: 4.2

20. “Closer”

J. Scalez on tha beat! Technically, according to tha back cover, this CD stops at #19 (it’s still 17 seconds over, lol; 1:20:17). But, good thing my mind’s focused on this right now, as I have some time, before I dive back into my seven, eight upcomin’ video countdowns! >>> A really long beat intro, and it’s almost soundin’ a lil’ poppy for an urban taste… Hearin’ a female (sample) on tha hook, and it’s soundin’ a lil’ catchy. I like those Arabic-like sounds in this beat, so that’s a plus. Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit a calm delivery; not bad… Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad, either; sounds good, overall. My Rating: 3.8

21. “The Vintage” (Vintage Rippah)

Lots of “Vintage”, here, includin’ tha title bein’ tha producer: “Vintage Rippah”. Let’s see, here… >>> Sounds like regular rappin’, and someone else, here? Iz it “tha V-I-N-T-A-G-E Rippah” doin’ a solo song or somethin’? Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad, either; nice lil’ solo song, I guess? My Rating: 3.7

22. “Still Smokin’ 2K” Feat. Kareem

A bonus, here… No producer listed? Iz it still Rich? Let’s see what gon come outta this… >>> Sounds like that was a shout out to “Rippah for makin’ this beat,” so I assume he made this track. I’m likin’ tha old-soundin’, H-Town ‘90s vibe, here, wit tha beat! Also, tha hook’s nice, once again! Can’t deny those “smokin’” anthems!! Yup! “Inhale it, exhale it!” Tha 2^nd verse sounds good wit Kareem, here. Almost like a new version of Young Bleed wit this laidback vibe; I’m definitely feelin’ it!! My Rating: 4.5

23. “Swag Swag” Feat. Ronnie Rap Game

Looks gross. I dunno if it’ll be like tha Savage feature/production… >>> Tha beat sounds pretty nice, here; I’m likin’ this start! Oh, “My weed so loud,” huh? Sounds like anotha sequel to tha “smokin’” song!! Great job wit tha 1^st verse, here, Deedy! Hearin’ this Ronnie dude on tha 2^nd verse, and it sounds like he great ta go in on this track!! Straight-up eatin’ it!! Thumbs up ta this “Glen Oaks” dude fa doin’ his thang! Here you are on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit good rhymes; can’t complain your “swag”—I mean, style. You know, born in ’88, I’ont fuck wit tha word “swag.” I feel like it’s a ‘90s baby term. My Rating: 4.4

24. “Stress Free” Feat. Vintage Rippah

Let’s see, here… >>> This sounds relaxin’… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and it ain’t too bad… Not sure about tha “Old McDonald” shit on tha hook, but it ain’t too bad, overall… Tha 2^nd verse sounds okay, too. This iz startin’ ta be a lil’ long, so I’m kinda losing interest… Hearin’ tha Vintage dude on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit some better shit; likin’ his “huh” shit, includin’ his delivery. My Rating: 3.5

25. “Come Up” Feat. Lil’ Boxx & Lee Banks

Glad ta see Boxx on tha feature! I think I should like this a lot… >>> Good beat, here, includin’ tha sample on tha hook! Feelin’ good, here, wit this gangsta vibe, mixed wit a swerin’-on-tha-road vibe! Tha 1^st verse sounds good; regular rappin’ from you, here… Hearin’ Lil’ Boxx on tha 2^nd verse, and I’m feelin’ how he comin’ through, here, wit his always-great flow/voice/delivery!! Consistent, real shit, at its finest! Now, finally, after envisionin’ him on this CD earlier, here’s Lee on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit dat tight, Young Ready-influenced street shit! My Rating: 4.5

26. “Bottles”

Dem “bottles” gon P-to-tha-O-to-tha-freaky-freaky-P, lol! I know you like dat Timbaland dialect! >>> LOL, only 1:57 on tha length? Seems like a tease, but I’m feelin’ this beat! Str8 jiggin’ style; gotta dig it!! It’s all about “drinkin’,” “drinkin’,” “drinkin’!” I think you doin’ a great job on this only verse, here; thumbs up fa deliverin’ dat dumb shit on this kinda beat! My Rating: 4.4

27. “I Got A Bitch”

I’m still solo… >>> Beat sounds cool, here, from whoeva produced it. Tha rhymes on tha 1^st verse sound good, too, strictly reppin’ fa those that have bitches, lol. I’m likin’ tha hook wit this “biiiiiiiiiiiiiitch” shit; almost reminds me of tha late Pimp! So many bitches you got on tha 2^nd verse, lol! Catchy how you comin’ through wit it, here! My Rating: 4.3

Overall: Wow, that was a long-ass review!! But, I enjoyed this CD a whole lot!! Deedy, you have plenty of jointz ta keep company, here!! Keep up tha great work!! I dunno what else ta say, but you work wit a lotta great new people and producers!!

Review #1,310: DJ 5150, DJ Hektik, DJ S.R. & DJ Victoriouz "Trap City 17 (Hosted by Kevin Gates)"

Reviewed on 8.29.2013 (Review #1,310)

Continuin’ wit my reviewz, I got DJ 5150, DJ Hektik, DJ S.R. & DJ Victoriouz Trap City 17 (Hosted by Kevin Gates) up next. Lookin’ at some of tha artists on here, I think I wanna throw up, in a mainstream way. I’m not lookin’ forward ta this review, especially since it sold NO COPIES in tha streetz (it bein’ 1:26:55 long)! Why too long?? Start Time: 11:04 AM | End Time: 11:34 AM

Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it! After I was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

Link To CD: http://www.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/18061/trap_city_17.html

01. Kevin Gates “Intro”

I’m prolly peepin’ this mixtape out only ‘cause Gates’ hostin’ it…, just to catch up on my reviewz. Then again, why must I hear dickrided versions of him anyway? >>> Ding. LOL @ how his “P” in “pussies” popped, lol! My Rating: N/A

02. Kevin Gates Feat. Flow “Retawded 4 Real”

My Current Rating: 3.0

03. DJ Scream Feat. 2 Chainz, Future, Waka Flocka, Yo Gotti & Gucci Mane “Hoodrich Anthem”

Yeah, right! 1.0, I see it!! I remembered when DJ Scream found me, back when I had a website in ’05, mainly ‘cause I was bumpin’ his Only The Crunk Survive Vol. 8 with Trillville on my playlist (back when whole CDs counted on my playlists. Now, it’s individual songs picked by me):

Then again, he could’ve gotten someone like Killa Kyleon on this. Oh, not lookin’ forward… >>> Beat can be good, but no way am I diggin’ this 2 Chainz shit, followed by masturbating-in-a-dude’s-ear-with-how-I-sound Future. So far, hearin’ Waka on tha hook (or 3^rd part), it sounds tha best outta tha three. Yo Gotti’s next (what’s with tha weird order? I think I should fix it. Anyway, he ain’t too bad… Gucci’s 5^th; nothin’ special. He’s so ’04 fa me. Not as bad as I thought, but still, not my style for my playlist. My Rating: 2.3

04. Mikewillmadeit Feat. T.I., Juicy J & Trae Tha Truth “Fight”

*Yawn* Wouldn’t’ve known who Mike WiLL Made It was, if I reviewed this on time, last year. >>> What’s with tha gay, masturbating-in-a-dude’s-ear dude goin’, “World Premiere,” in tha background? I think I just wanna skip it based off this garbage! No thanks! Skimmin’ through tha song, and it’s still goin’ almost three minutes in! My Rating: 1.0

05. Gunplay Feat. Rick Ross “Real Niggas”

Anything Ricky, I feel like skippin’… But, I’ll review it just to see where it scores in my book. >>> Yea, I can’t tolerate this; this kinda title/topic’s why tha hip-hop game’s so fake and fucked up!! My Rating: 1.0

06. Waka Flocka Feat. Sony “24Hrs”

Him again?? >>> Boring “money” song, again, as well as bein’ in tha studio fa “24 hours,” puttin’ quantity ova quality; next! My Rating: 1.1

07. OJ Da Juiceman Feat. Lil’ Dre “Larry Bird”

Looks catchy, but OJ’s been kinda inactive for a minute… >>> His drug shit’s kinda boring by now; needs a new sound! Anotha new term; very random fa me… But, gotta luv your “wrist,” right? My Rating: 1.8

08. Ray Vicks Feat. Rambo & Squirm Gee “No Tomorrow”

Looks familiar, but let’s just go… >>> Not feelin’ tha typical-soundin’ beat, here. Kinda sounds like tha other ones on here, and this ‘pose ta be a Louisiana artist! Not too much into tha lyrics, either; I seem to like tha voices betta, surprisingly. My Rating: 2.4

09. Eldorado Red Feat. Bambino Gold “A Day In Da Crest”

Finally, layin’ off tha mainstream fucks! >>> Damn, all these songs are startin’ ta sound tha same!! This one’s just better than tha others, though; nice 2^nd verse wit dat voice… My Rating: 3.4

10. Bambino Gold Feat. Alley Boy “Graduated”

>>> S-to-tha-A-to-tha-M-to-tha-E; rhymes with L-to-tha-A-to-tha-M-to-tha-E!!! Well, not that lame, but this shit gets boring afta a while… See, like when I was talkin’ about Only The Crunk Survive Vol. 8, at least tha hyped-up vibe had great-soundin’ beats and different voices! My Rating: 3.1

11. Rockie Fresh Feat. Rick Ross “You A Lie”

Nooooooooooooooooo…………………… >>> Tha slow vibe’s okay, but why am I wasting my time with this? Sick of these songs where men are hatin’ otha men; why can’t people be in this together?!? My Rating: 1.3

12. Future Feat. Laudie “Diamonds”

I’m just skippin’ this, right? >>> Yup, after four seconds! My Rating: 1.0

½time: Really bad compilation, so far; almost everything sounds tha same, and tha mainstream shit ruins tha ratings, for me… Currently, 1.9 for tha CD rating.

13. Big Bank Black Feat. Trouble & Alley Boy “Kickin’ N Pimpin’”

Not sure what ta say… >>> Memphis in tha building? Sounds like Yo Gotti, here and there… Nothin’ special, but not tha worst fa me. My Rating: 2.0

14. Kevin Gates “Goin’ Supa”

Don’t think I’ve heard ‘cause of tha DJ B-Real production credits listed. Really? 2012 and tha two of them are pumpin’ somethin’? What’s tha hold-up of them makin’ a whole CD together? Weird world we live in!! >>> “Pick up Lil’ Mista;” damn, obsession outta nowhere? Not sure how you dudes agree with each other when it comes ta things! “Now, it’s 25 fa B-Real ta hit tha track up;” oh, so that line came from this… He said that to me. I luv how he’s obsessed with you, Gates, secretly! Guess I gotta get inta robbin’ people and sellin’ drugs—which’ll neva be me—if I wanna buy a beat from him, smh! As short as this song iz, it sounds good fa what it iz. A lil’ random wit tha content; sounds like Bubba borrowed some of this fa his “Retarded”, wit how he says: “My kick game retarded; my whip game retarded.” Beat sounds good, too; almost sounds like someone fartin’, here and there. My Rating: 4.1

15. Lil’ Reese & Chief Keef “Rap Shit”

Would’ve neva heard Chief Keef if I reviewed this on time, also. Then again, with Young Chop on tha beat, umm… >>> A lil’ boring fa tha start wit tha hook… Yea, boring content; I’m just gonna skip ‘cause 210348713012831203912381203913012309 rappers talk about hatin’ dudes, things bein’ so easy, and all dat boring blah-blah-yada! My Rating: 1.4

16. Sy Ari Da Kid “You’ll Think”

Two apostrophes (or a quote) in tha title? Incorrect! Beat Zombies beat… >>> Different how he sounds on tha mic—wait, here come tha regular vocals at :41… This iz boring, but a lil’ betta than usual. Some consistent punchlines, but I can’t learn about anyone wit these typical, one-dimensional rhymes! My Rating: 1.9

17. Bambino Gold Feat. Lil’ Phat “Rarri”

After-dying music, it looks like, ‘cause it wasn’t in my tribute video… >>> Nothing special fa tha beginning/hook… Still, Lil’ Phat’s voice sounds real weird fa these kinda street tracks… Sounds like it’s meant ta be funny than serious… Hearin’ Bambino on tha 2^nd verse… Okay, a lil’ catchy wit how he delivers tha rhymes. Still, WTF wit tha “money” obsessions? Why does every fuckin’ song have ta have “money” in it? “Money [iz] shit” fa everyone!!! My Rating: 2.5

18. Master P Feat. T.E.C. “Duffle Bag”

Not lookin’ forward to tha feature/title… >>> Ehh, beats are okay, but Master P, you’re in your mid-40s, and this what you rappin’ ‘bout? Guess tha hood’s tha same, no matter where you go, or what you “got!” Boring topic and gay, repetitive hook about “money!!!” Damn @ T.E.C. on tha 2^nd verse; can’t listen ta these “stacks!!!” My Rating: 1.0

19. Big Jay Pyrex Feat. Shell (Young Thugga) & Savage “Solo”

Good find; would’ve been an exclusive if I would’ve heard this CD first! Did a live review for Lil’ Trill & Shell; real glad I did it! Was so far, DJ B-Real’s last time at showin’ my videoz with him in it luv! But really, B-Real, tha live review was almost 100 minutes long! How you get all dat time ta watch it in 2012? Oh, tha 2012 dayz!! No wonder why this year sucks!! I describe this year as I’ve eaten someone’s diarrhea & was forced ta enjoy it!! #changegoncome My Current Rating: 4.5

20. Calliope Var Feat. Young Roddy “Redemption”

I’ll just consider most of these jointz songs I’ve neva heard before… >>> Intro sounds more like what Master P should’ve been on, here. Guess he gotta take notes from Calliope Var fa tha 2012 & beyond? Rhymes are good from Calliope, here, on tha 1^st verse! Feelin’ how he comin’ through wit it… Got Young Roddy on tha 2^nd verse… A lil’ boring wit tha content and delivery; nothin’ horrible, though, except tha “money” obsessions. Keepin’ this goin’ wit tha 3^rd verse from Calliope, here, and it sounds good, just like tha 1^st verse. My Rating: 3.8

21. Kevin Gates “Satellite”

It was dry when I first heard it, but because it made MTV Jams for one day, and Music Choice: Hip-Hop And R&B twice, I liked it a lil’ more, and it even made it to my playlist. I think tha 2013-released version sounded better, though they nearly sound tha same? I know this 2012 right here… My Current Rating: 3.6

22. Fat Trel “Where We Go”
>>> Already off to a gay start wit, “I got my money,” ta start tha song off… Hook sounds catchy wit how it’s delivered, but since it’s money-related, I’ll just end my review fa this song here. My Rating: 1.5

23. Trouble “Molly World”

Now, I know who this iz. Also, wouldn’t’ve known what them mollies were, at this time. Only knew Cedric Gervais and his “Molly”, or Sheen~Marie and her “On Molly” (I think Sheen debuted it for me?). >>> Yeah, Cedric Gervais “Molly” just came on Music Choice: Dance, ironically!! Magic!! Then again, wit this song, complete trash!! Sounds like he poppin’ masturbatin’-in-anotha-dude’s-ear pillz wit this gay voice!! You sure those aren’t gummy bear vitamins? My Rating: 1.0

24. Kevin Gates “BBO”

My Current Rating: 3.7

25. P Money Bags “Go Off”

Polo Fresh beat ta end this… >>> Not too bad ta end this garbage CD off… This sounds like it’s in tha middle of all my combined ratings. My Rating: 2.2

Overall: Total garbage; waste of 30 minutes!!

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): http://www.datpiff.com/DJ_5150_Ray_Vicks_Hustler_Of_The_Year.m172187.html


01. “Hustler Of The Year”
Startin’ off wit tha title track; what’ll it consist of? >>> Definitely sounds good; you’re holdin’ down tha streetz, Ray! Even though it’s mainly about “money”, at least you trappin’ hard! “Been trappin’ since 15;” pretty serious! My Rating: 4.4


02. “John Dillinger”
LOL, a name/noun! >>> Anotha hot-soundin’ song; you know what it iz! What a crazy hook wit how you come through bein’ anotha person, lol! My Rating: 4.5


03. “Bands (Remix)” Feat. Rocko
LOL… >>> I remember this and you had a different version, which featured Yungsta & Squirm G, on your “36 O’s Later”; why exclude them? As far as addin’ Rocko, it ain’t too bad. I’ll go wit tha original, 1st version I heard as tha better one. My Rating: 4.0


04. “Fettish 4 Da Fetti” Feat. Shu
D. Jackson doin’ tha beat here; interestin’… >>> Yea, dis sounds like a good amount of energy comin’ outta tha hook! Sounds a lil’ mainstream wit tha content you’re spittin’ but this ain’t too bad of a song, overall. Tha Shu dude’s on tha 2nd verse and it sounded like he said a different name in tha beginning of tha verse, lol? My Rating: 4.1


05. “BMF (Remix)”
LOL… >>> Don’t like tha Rick Ross flow; should’ve been original. At least you have good content here. My Rating: 3.9


06. “Trapped In The Hustle”
>>> Sounds like an interestin’ beat. Sounds really interestin’ wit how you’re comin’ through on this beat; catchy shit! Tha hook’s definitely on some street shit; good job! My Rating: 4.3


07. “Dirty Mutha Fucka” Feat. J Rock
1.) Which J Rock ; 2.) Pimpin’ Ken on tha beat? Who dat? Let’s hear… >>> Sounds pretty catchy. Tha hook sounds pretty catchy, ya dig? I like tha “warts on my hands” part; you goin’ off here, Vicks!! J Rock sounds cool but he sounds older wit what he’s spittin’. Even though he sounds cool, a lotta tha shit he spittin’ iz a lil’ cocky. My Rating: 4.4
EDIT: It's really Lil' Ken doin' tha beat here.


08. “Fuck Da Owner” Feat. Shu
This looks good, especially on tha attitude! >>> LOL, J Buc on tha beat? How come you don’t have tha special “produced by” shit in tha ID? SMH @ no equality… You know tha one that’s not sourced iz tha hottest one! Just like tha one that’s not noticed iz tha best! SMH @ tha “Facebook” part; kinda yucky fa a song… Sounds like a good-ass jam, ya dig? I really like how you comin’ through on tha hook; content’s at a major plus here! Tha 2nd verse from Shu’s soundin’ how I thought J Rock sounded, only J Rock had a betta voice. I don’t get all this typical content dat everyone spits about but doesn’t get defined. My Rating: 4.4


09. “iPhone”
I dunno about a title like dis… >>> But, tha beat sounds hot. I know someone else had an “iPhone” song but this iz pretty nice as far as how you hold tha beat down. Catchy shit right here… My Rating: 4.3


½time: You have a jammin’, consistent mixtape right here, ya dig? Definitely catchy shit here, ya dig? 4.3-rated CD, at tha moment!!


10. “Ball Till I Fall”
>>> Who produced dis? Again, you don’t source it? “I’m in tha mall, ballin’ wit my dawgs”? How you make dat happen as far as gettin’ people ta agree wit you? This sounds like anotha jam; can’t complain! You’re real consistent wit some of dis shit! My Rating: 4.4


11. “Southside Nigga” Feat. Yung Star
>>> Tha same, unsourced (why) producer from tha last song iz on this beat, doin’ a nice job! This iz a hot jam; good shit on tha hook once again! You still have dat great, ballin’-type vibe on tha track, which iz good! Ooh, Yung Star on tha 2nd verse, doin’ tha damn thang! Did he say he from “H-Town”? Either way, good shit on how he reppin’ wit you! My Rating: 4.3


12. “Hard In The Paint”
>>> ROFL… Doesn’t sound too different from tha original ‘cept tha more drug-related content. My Rating: 3.9


13. “Black Lights” Feat. J Rock
Let’s hear dis collaboration! >>> Kinda sounds like mainstream music but tight at tha same time. Startin’ off wit J, doin’ his thang on tha 1st verse! You’re even doin’ a pretty good job, too; all about dat catchy shit! My Rating: 4.2


14. “Invite Me Over” Feat. Rambo
>>> Why “slow down”? No, no, no, no… Tha hook ain’t too bad but it’s a lil’ soft. Don’t need ta hear somethin’ soft on a ‘mixtape’. At least you’re comin’ through pretty hard on tha verses; good job, Ray. My Rating: 3.4


15. “Downtown” Feat. M Dot
>>> Heard this before; why iz this here again? My Current Rating: 2.4


16. “Stylin’ On U” Feat. Fee & Squirm G
Good rappers featured… >>> A lil’ mainstream again but not too bad. I thought I’d expect a lil’ betta wit tha features although I did like tha last feature… My Rating: 3.5


17. “Under Investigation” Feat. Lil’ Boosie
Thought I knew dis but I guess not. >>> Definitely sounds pretty hot; feelin’ tha content and title, too! Good shit you got goin’ on here, keepin’ this street shit alive to tha fullest! Boosie bein’ featured makes this tighter; good collaboration! He’s pretty catchy wit tha content, too! My Rating: 4.4


18. “Mastermind” Feat. Nas
What’s up wit dis feature? Looks jacked… >>> Yea, he’s just pasted on tha hook as a sample or whateva. But, it sounds good and real. Tha verses ain’t that bad but only on a decent level fa me as well as this beat. My Rating: 3.8


19. “Loyalty” Feat. Fee
>>> Yucky start and why this beat? Sounds good wit tha content again but c’mon wit imitatin’ tha original, pathetic hook. Good job recruitin’ Fee on dis song, too. My Rating: 3.7


Overall: Anotha pretty-good mixtape from you. All tha consistency from earlier in tha mixtape made this score higher than when I reviewed “36 O’s Later”!
