It
has been a minute since I’ve done a review. Between doin’ VH1-like video
countdowns, fixin’ up all my old, converted cassette tapes, and uploadin’ all
my old year-end countdowns, I’ve been grindin’. However, I’ve also been
sufferin’ with moodswings and a mid-life crisis wit this music business shit,
because I’m awaiting a job in tha video world, and have loans comin’ after me.
At times, I get confused at why people act like I’m legendary, I have 3,000+ FB
friends, etc., and am barely gettin’ people to pay me for shit, such as havin’
a song of theirs on my Tha Louisiana
Archives mixtape compilation (it’s only $20 a spot)! Lack of attention, as
well as those ignorin’ me, has been creating a drought in what I’ve been listenin’
to, too. Last year, there were about 120 songs in rotation on my playlist. Now,
I have only 52 in rotation. Outta tha 52, NONE
are Louisiana
rap, two are rap, and tha rest are pretty much EDM; I don’t have a balance, and
am lazy with listenin’ to music. Hopefully, wit this release I’m reviewin’, I
hope to balance myself again…, sooner or later! Now that I got where I’ve been
cleared up, lemme get into this: Solo
Mafia Mobb Ties; thanx to Savage
for tellin’ me to check it out ‘cause I didn’t know about it! Now, I assume tha
Out The Cage Entertainment dayz are over? Since this iz a Solo Mafia release,
iz it Solo Mafia Records? Entertainment? Music/Muzik? What iz it? Curious to
know, but I’m more curious to hear this!! After eating lunch, I think I’ll start
this review at a special time: 1:22; Savage birthday time!! Start Time: 1:22 PM | End Time: 3:14 PM
EDIT: I see, thanx to Amazon: Solo
Mafia Enterprises!!!
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.
Sav Sinatra “Intro”
A
minute-long intro, like a commercial! Anticipatin’ this; let’s hear it!!
>>> Italo, Godfather style,
startin’ off wit tha background music! Got me locked in, Sav, wit this intro
you speakin’ on! You real professional wit it, as well as always keepin’ it
undaground to tha fullest! Glad you’re not a dickrided, sellout-lookin’ dude!! My Rating: N/A
02.
Sav Sinatra “Mobb Shit”
Oh,
by seein’ your name in tha ID, this must be a compilation? Really lookin’
forward to seein’ how many different peeps are on here!! Of course, produced by
you, Sav!! Let’s hear it!! >>> Great vibe for tha beginning; sounds
like you’re really in tha mood, here,
wit tha intro!! I think it gon take you to get me balanced again, as far as
what I’m bumpin’!! Feelin’ your style on tha 1st verse, comin’
through wit dat real “shit,” or as
you say, “mobb shit!” I like tha “so, what’s fa dinner” part; hungry lil’
Savage, lol! Of course, glad you “smellin’ like a pound” and you “ain’t even blowin’;” that’s definitely what’s up, as well as this
kick-ass hook!! Yup, always gotta throw an “R.I.P. Pimp C” in there! When I was
at my aunt Linda’s cabin, and they had a lot of old UGK on on one of tha Sirius
(I think) rap channels (The Boombox); thought of you and these CDs when they
came on! Great job wit tha 2nd verse, too; you just jammin’ this
shit harder than a ma’fucka!! Likin’ tha slowed-down ending, blendin’ into tha
next song!! My Rating: 4.8
03.
Jiggy Da Menace Feat. Clev & Mista “Influenza Swag”
Don’t
think I eva heard of this Jiggy dude; only Jiggy dude I know iz Jiggy Black. I
assume that’s Clever Kev on tha ID (although, it says, Clev)? I’m just takin’
guesses, here… I know Lil’ Mista/Mista Cain iz 3rd; though I’m not a
fan of this title, let’s see if your kick-ass production helps here, Sav!!
>>> Nice production… Okay, tha 1st verse ain’t too bad for a start; I can fuck wit
this… LOL @ all this sex shit; nice job… Surprisingly, tha hook ain’t that bad,
either; only two words… Tha Clev dude’s on tha 2nd verse, and I’m
actually feelin’ this; good job, Mr. Clev! Hearin’ Mista on tha 3rd
verse, and I have to say, this iz just okay/a lil’ below-average fa me wit
obsessin’ all this “swag” shit. I think he’s completely startin’ ta be
pop/over-rated for me. Kinda what I mentioned before of how I’m glad you’re not
dickrided, Sav; Mista’s a perfect example of bein’ a dickrided rapper. I think
tha 2nd time I heard him was on dat Self-Made Bosses over three years ago (first was Level’s Street Credit mixtape, four years ago).
I preferred that Mista… But, it turned out to be a better song that I expected.
My Rating: 4.2
04.
Lee Banks Feat. Shell (Young Thugga), Mista, Young Shine, Young Ready &
Smitty “Get U A Body (Remix)”
Thought
I’ve heard this before, but I think I’ve been seein’ more posts than usual…
Switchin’ it up wit a B-Real beat, this time. Unlike tha previous “swag” song,
I assume wit this gangsta shit, I’ll be able to like it more… >>> Nice
beat; jammin’! *Gasps* An unsourced, Shell (Young Thugga) on tha 1st
verse!! How can you leave him out?! He sounds real nice on tha 1st ½
of tha 1st verse; gotta luv what he brings to tha table!! Nice job
wit this hook; can’t say anything else but positive shit about this… Now, Mista
on tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse… Ehh, a bad start wit bein’
done wit “Girbauds;” I’m lucky I got
a bunch, but haven’t seen much within all these years… Either way, an okay
verse, and tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse didn’t sound like
Ready. Tha 2nd verse sounded like someone else, and whoeva it was
(incorrect order on tha back cover), they sounded like they blended in nicely
wit this. Now, it’s Ready on tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse;
tight rhymes! I can deal wit this… Okay, I hear that it’s Young Smitty on tha 2nd
½ of tha 3rd verse, so Shine & Ready have to be flipped in tha
ID, since Shine was on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse… Thumbs
up fa Smitty fa tearin’ up tha end! My
Rating: 4.6
05.
Money Sak Feat. Fame & Mista “Ben Frank”
Tiny
back cover, it seems like, wit DatPiff’s shrunk, 500x500 pixel size… I’m
googlin’ it, and I see Shell’s on tha ID of tha previous song, and I got this
Amazon upload to help me, in case I can’t see it clear… But, no listed
producer? Not sure what I’m walkin’ into wit these unknown dudes… >>>
Beat does sound a lil’ jacked in tha beginning; hope this don’t suck… So far,
tha flow sounds a lil’ like a mix of Plies, 2 Chainz & Rick Ross; I hate
all of them, but at least this an undaground secret… Tha hook only okay; we’ll
leave it at dat… Tha 1st verse iz decent for me; sounds mainstream,
but have a touch of undaground to it… Surprised this song’s 4:11; why? Tha
other songs were 3:00 – 3:30, and were way better!! Tha 2nd verse iz
soundin’ typical and cocky; startin’ to get bored of this 2 Chainz-soundin’
shit… What? An unsourced Mista on tha 3rd verse? Talk about tha
opposite of dickridin’, lol! I think that’s what it sounds like, at times? I’ll
put it in tha ID, but correct me if I’m wrong. For tha verse, it was aight,
just like this song… Nice acapella ending of tha 1st ½ of tha hook,
too… My Rating: 3.5
06.
Sav Sinatra Feat. Jiggy Da Menace “Check Me Out”
Savage
= Tha perfect way to recover after
that previous, decent song!! Of course, Sav on tha beat!! >>> Ooh,
real pure beat sounds from you, Sav!! Can’t wait ‘til years from now, when I
make an album on travelin’ dat I gon buy a beat from you, Sav!! Gotta have your
touch on an album of mine!! Damn, tha hook pretty tight as fuck, too!! Great
voice you got, Sav!! Even got tha 1st verse, too; there’s nothin’
wrong wit you at all!! To me, you’re
perfect, Sav!! LOL, how many tattoos you got by now? I talked to one of my boyz
(Yung Yola) in jail, and he said he has 150 and counting; do you have that
much, lol? We got that Jiggy dude on tha 2nd verse; sounds like he’s
collaboratin’ nicely wit you, here! A 3rd verse from you, Sav,
soarin’ like an “eagle!!” Keep tha rhymes goin’; you’re definitely tha shit at all
times!! My Rating: 4.8
07.
Bubba “Retarded”
Does
that say, “Rubba”? *Checks Amazon* Oh wow, it’s Big Stacks Ent.’s Bubba!! Oh,
I’m anticipated as fuck ta hear dis!!
Glad you got a connection wit him, and EQ’s on tha beat, this time!!
>>> Real nice beginning between Bubba & tha beat!! Sounds like I
might’ve sampled this from somewhere… Definitely
feelin’ tha hook, and yea, Bubba, you’re “back!” Glad 2012 wasn’t your only year for me, as it sounds like
you’ll keep shit on-n-poppin’!! Tha 1st verse sounds real nice wit
how you comin’ through on this, Bubba; gotta luv dat voice of yours when it
hits tha mic on these beatz!! Sounds like some great shit in tha 2nd
verse; feelin’ it! I almost thought I heard some fast rappin’, but it went back
to normal. I’m slowly startin’ to get sick of when rappers just bust fast
rappin’ outta nowhere on a track, somethin’ that Kevin Gates has been doin’;
sounds awkward… Only two verses fa dis 4:00 track? It’s all good though ‘cause
I got ta hear Bubba’s voice lay down on a Solo Mafia compilation disc!! My Rating: 4.7
08.
Tank Law “Standin’ On The Couch”
Almost
thought this was Tank Jones, but it’s a newbie; I’m lookin’ forward to hearin’
this! Who’s T.A. (tha producer)? >>> Kinda a different start; hope I
can handle this… Not bad for tha hook; a lil’ East Coast-y for me to luv, but
lemme see what I can say about tha rest of this… Tha 1st verse ain’t
too bad; rhymes are on-point… Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ okay for me…
Tha 3rd verse iz also okay, too; not much for me to comment… My Rating: 3.6
09.
Quikkdraw “H.U.S.T.L.A.”
J
Buc on tha beat!! Oh wait, I knew this looked familiar…; nice job at includin’
Quikk on here!! My Current Rating: 4.3
½time: Gotta luv tha CD so far,
Sav!! You put a lotta effort into it, and I’m glad you stay workin’ in tha studio!!
Lots of big songs on here, as well as
some decent ones; a 4.3 for tha CD rating, currently!!!
10.
Pearlie Mac Feat. Sav Sinatra, J Rhodes & Razor “In My Cadillac”
Couldn’t
read tha ID on tha back cover, so I took it to Amazon to see what it said…
Looks like an anticipatin’, UGK-like song wit Savage on tha beat!! ‘Bout ta
anticipate dis one!! >>> Dat nice, laidback Sav feel for tha beat;
gotta luv it!! These songs/titles/sayin’ tha title in every line neva gets old!! Dat quality’s there, and
you doin’ tha damn thang on this smooth hook, Sav!! Tha 1st verse
sounded nice from, I assume, Pearlie Mac, spittin’ a pure verse fa tha ride ta
enjoy! Here’s tha 2nd verse (J Rhodes?); nice, feel-good rhymes,
feelin’ like a giant! Now, we got tha 3rd verse (Razor?); sounds a
lil’ betta on tha voice than tha 2nd verse, and I’m also feelin’ how
this dude’s comin’ through! My Rating: 4.5
11.
Bengie Feat. T.E.C. “Ol’ Skools”
Time
to find a snack. I finna look at tha ID when I get back… *Gets snack at 2:21
PM…* Returns at 2:24 PM…* Found nothing, smh. But, let’s see this ID… *Checks
ID* Thought I might’ve heard it, but I guess not. Kinda unanticipatin’ it with
tha no producer listed… >>> It’s J Buc on tha beat; how cruel and anti-Buc of that back cover,
smh!! But, from tha start, I knew it started nice wit tha beat sound! Tha hook
sounds nice, too; sounds like a potential single that sounds nice… Tha 1st
verse must be T.E.C.; it’s okay, as far as tha voice, but it sounds better for
tha song, overall. Let’s see what this 2nd verse gon bring… It’s
Bengie Bee, comin’ through wit a nice lil’ vibe… Even an ending, here; not bad…
Almost sounds like tha Tech wit Dog Da Cutthroata! My Rating: 4.4
12.
Sav Sinatra Feat. Dogg Mane, Young Ready & 31stDeedy “The Real Way”
Interestin’
lineup, wit Sav on tha beat! I neva heard tha Dogg Mane dude, I don’t think; I
look forward to hearin’ what he sounds like on this, too! >>> Ooh, a strong Savage beat start; “Mobb shit,
bitch!!” Gotta luv it!! Definitely
lovin’ this hook wit all this “the real way” shit all ova it!! You got a brain
fulla chemistry, Sav!! Comin’ through on tha 1st verse, anticipatin’
a beef!! I know who you can beat up, Sav! I got their #, their address,
their—well, I’m glad you’re on my side! Maybe, we can talk about it via phone,
but I’m movin’ on ta turnin’ 25 next month, movin’ on from dat bullshit! Now,
let’s hear this Dogg Mane dude… New, different, dark-soundin’ voice, here;
definitely interestin’, and I’m likin’ tha shit they bringin’ to tha table!
Hope they are a great dude—have to say, yes, based off them bein’ on this Mobb Ties CD! Spittin’ lots of real
shit, consistently! Now, a “familiar” Young Ready on tha 3rd verse,
comin’ through wit dat G-shit; what else iz new, lol…? Switchin’ it up to 31st
on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit mo good
shit fa this track… My Rating: 4.7
13.
Sav Sinatra “Fly Life”
Looked
familiar, but it’s new, I guess… Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ anotha solo joint
of yours, Mr. $inatra!! Speakin’ of “fly,” today was a decade ago (10 years),
back on May 28, 2003, I wrote my first rap: “Yo, I like this girl named Amber.
/ And, I was like, “Damn, look at her!” / And, these other guys told me to slam
her!!” Dumb shit, Savage!!! She even has tha same, exact birthday as me, too!! What are tha odds of that?!
>>> LOL @ tha flight start, and you comin’ through ta crash tha
flight! I always wonder, will I eva attend tha same flight as you in tha
future, lol? Who knows! Feelin’ your “fly life” perspective, here, on tha
hook!! You and tha “eat dick,” lol; you and tha “deez nuts;” you and a
devastating ending to pussazzes, lol!! Speakin’ of pussazz, you even sayin’ “pussazz” on tha 1st
verse; gutta shit!! You definitely
rule here wit dat consistent “shit!!”
Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty nice, too; you got such a killer voice ta pierce through
err-body’s stereos!! How can people not
luv you, Sav?! LOL, givin’ people a “dick” sample on tha 3rd verse,
strictly to tha haterz! I’m startin’ ta get haterz now, as people callin’ me
pussy and shit ‘cause I don’t answer them! Oh, ain’t dat a bitch?! My Rating: 4.6
14.
Sav Sinatra Feat. Mista “Yeah I’m Thuggin’”
Although
no producer listed, I assume this you on tha beat, Sav? I’m lookin’ forward ta
hearin’ this one, too! Keepin’ shit more consistent than a mafukka!!
>>> Sounds like a good hook from you, Sav; feelin’ it! Oh, that Mista
dude’s on tha 1st verse; it’s not bad… I hope I see some of dat
“money” soon, although contacting lacked three years ago, when I had a great
commercial idea for him. :( Sometimes, I have to be persistent when it comes to
gettin’ what I want! You on a gonna-be-sick mission on tha 2nd
verse, Sav, like my girl, Alexia: Gotta get tha money no matter what! Feelin’
tha 2nd verse you spit, Sav; keep grindin’!! My Rating: 4.4
15.
Tank Law “‘Bout It”
Just
like his last song, T.A.’s on tha beat; let’s hear it… >>> Beat’s way
too mainstream-soundin’ for me; I bet this T.A. dude’s a jacked beat dude, or a
non-Louisiana dude… Either way, so far, I dunno if I can say if this iz betta
than tha previous song. I’m not really into all this typical,
mainstream-soundin’ shit; way too much “Beez In Da Trap” quotes? Didn’t even
realize where tha hook was, but I hear it now, and it ain’t that bad… Tha 2nd
verse ain’t as bad as tha 1st verse, but if I had to pick somethin’
was tha most mainstream on this CD, it’ll prolly be this song. Almost think
it’s Ace Hood at times, or those rappers that wanna drop, like, 50 songs a year
and ‘claim’ to neva fall off… Even a 3rd verse, here, and this dude
can’t help but quote people; a lil’ boring… Gonna be close to see which Tank
Law song I like better, but because this one’s a lil’ more Southern-soundin’
than tha previous one, I may up tha rating to like this better. My Rating: 3.7
16.
Sav Sinatra Feat. Fabe Marley “Str8 Like Dat”
Neva heard tha Fabe dude, but I hope they’re
good if they’re rappin’ wit you, Sav, especially since you’re on tha beat,
too!! >>> Feelin’ your classic sound in tha beginning, Sav! LOL @ that
mean perspective, Sav, lol! Feelin’ how you comin’ through on tha 1st
verse, here! Tha hook sounds nice; you got shit on lock at all times, no matter
what topic you cover, Sav!! Even tha 2nd verse, talkin’ ‘bout these
“hoes” and pussies! Tha Fame dude on
tha 3rd verse sounds catchy; not bad for a new rapper wit these
rhymes on a track of yours, Sav… My
Rating: 4.3
17.
Sav Sinatra “Po Up My Drank”
Damn,
talk about gettin’ robbed, like tha Lil’ Trill & Shell By Any Means Necessary CD, from tha back cover? This song ain’t
even on there, and only 18 tracks are displayed… Anyway, I see it on Amazon and
my downloaded file, so I’m assuming you produced this one? Let’s hear it!! Need
a new anthem from tha “Kush & Lean” & “Weed & Drank”, only this
time, there’s no weed, lol! >>> Really sounded tight wit that bubbly
beginning, lol! Now, a really soft beat; nice and laidback!! Really feelin’ tha
hooks; seems like you’re addicted to these “drank” songs, as much as I’m
addicted to showin’ ‘em luv!! Keepin’ shit on-n-poppin’ on tha 1st
verse fa “Pimp” and “Screw;” gotta keep representin’!! Glad they got you inta
“drank” and shit, lol!! It would be boring if you were born, like, a decade
later and not’ve known much about them! Interestin’ mix on tha 2nd
verse, when it comes to all those pillz and shit, lol! More reppin’ fa “Fat
Pat” and “Big Moe;” oh, tha good ol’ dayz!! Ooh, tha last hook’s screwed and
chopped!! Haven’t heard dat happen in a while!! Quality shit, Sav!!! My Rating: 4.7
18.
Sav Sinatra Feat. Jiggy Da Menace, C-Loc & Foppé “Shit Get Real”
Neva heard tha Foppe dude, but I know I’m
winnin’ wit this lineup!! Gotta luv you on tha beat once again, Sav!!
>>> LOL, back to tha Godfather…
And, it just jumped into tha song so fast… Nice Savage vibe, and I assume
Foppé’s tha female on tha track? Sounds nice on tha hook… Here you are on tha 1st
verse, comin’ through wit your classic rappin’ that I first knew of yours
(e.g., that “fold like Poker hands” line)! Got tha Jiggy dude on tha 2nd
verse, comin’ through wit a nice vibe fa this beat and track of yours… Tha 3rd
verse iz C-Loc; sounds good on this track, too… My Rating: 4.2
19.
J.S. Feat. Supa Kali “Money Fame”
Neva heard of these dudes, and I don’t really
go for a title like this for unknown artists… J.S. iz even on tha beat, here;
how will these unknown dudes end this classic-soundin’ compilation off???
>>> Godfather beginning…
Almost sounds like a sample in tha song’s beat (like, Andrea True Connection’s
“More, More, More”—tha “doo-doo-doo” part in tha beat)… But, I’m likin’ tha 1st
verse from J.S.; sounds above-average for me… Tha hook sounds catchy wit how
people are “chasin’” tha title; nice! Here’s Supa Kali on tha 2nd
verse… Ehh, not really up there for me; sounds like Drake, and tha lyrics are a
lil’ cocky/okay. Either way, it ain’t that bad of a song, and I’ll be nice wit
tha rating… My Rating: 4.0
Overall: Before I do tha ending of
this review, my mom called me a few minutes ago, no less tellin’ me that she
bought a snack and put it in a secret cabinet. So now, I’m chompin’ on some
Nutter Butter Bites; mmm!! But, this was a real
nice compilation, Sav!! You’re known for doin’ a great job wit ‘em, since you won Louisiana Compilation CD of 2011
for The Best Of: Savage Trackz!! This
one seems better than that, since it has new tracks with multiple people. I’m
real glad I got back into review mode with this eight-page review, tha way they
should be! Only special, quality peeps like you get reviewz like this, Sav!
Anybody who’s okay/wack gets, like, a 15-minute, skimmed-through review! Keep
puttin’ out dem tunez—country rap tunez!! Tha reviewz of yours ain’t over yet,
as continuing today, I’ll have more!!
