Review #1,988: DJ Jubilee Presents The Bounce Squad "Bouncin' All Over The World"

Reviewed on 6.05.2021 (Review #1,988)
 
 
Slowly tryna progress through these reviewz till I reach my 2,000th! Right about now, DJ Jubilee Presents The Bounce Squad Bouncin’ All Over The World iz my 1,988th review, released in 2000 on Take Fo Records! Start Tyme: 5:30 PM | End Tyme: 6:35 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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

Link To Release: N/A
 
 
01. Intro Number
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ intro, courtesy of this N’awlinzness…! “I can dig that, like a shovel”; deep…………………………………………………………………………………………………, lol! My Rating: N/A
 
 
02. “Who They Want?”
>>> Feelin’ tha energy on tha hook & beat, here; definitely luv how you keep tha “bounce” in your genes, Jubilee! Props fa bringin’ this Bounce Squad in tha buildin’; S/O to Bigg Ramp on tha hook! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & this must be a “Lil’ Shaggy” dude from The Bounce Squad (Kooly); definitely feelin’ their shit! They sound a lil’ like a N’awlinz version of Boosie; keep dat energy up!! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds pretty nice, courtesy of tha consistent shit fa tha N’awlinz clubz, streetz & everywhere else! Twerker! Keepin’ this movin’ with a “Lil’ Will” dude on tha 3rd verse, here (Willie Puckett); just luv tha N’awlinz dialect & lifestyle! A lil’ outro at tha end almost made me think it was a 4th verse, with how they emerged into tha track; it’s cool, tho, as Anky just made an appearance. My Rating: 4.5
 
 
03. “Get Jiggy”
>>> Sounds great with how y’all want err-body ta “Get Jiggy” wit it; so glad y’all have unstoppable energy! Tha energy neva dies when you keep contributin’ it right! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty nice with tha “ah, #1! Ah, #1!” Now, “ah, show dat world! Ah, show dat world!” Oh boy, iz this tha sequel to “Jubilee All (Stop Pause)”? This can go on fa 237402847248704893482043204928049840932943 seconds & I’d be zoned into every second of it! Media neva shuts off, in my ears or mind!! Music been playin’ in my head fa 21 years straight! That’s 662,688,000 seconds (tha leap year of 2000 doesn’t count as an extra day, due to it started in tha spring of 2000 fa me)! My brain hittin’ a BILLION, one day! Anyway, this shit iz unstoppable!! Lmao @ “I luv your man! I luv your man!” What a dance! This tha 2000 “Jubilee All”! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
04. “Tatted Up, Slugged Up, Thugged Out”
>>> What a grimy, clubby, hood hook!! Lol, I luv tha group doin’ tha voice to tha hook’s chant, dedicated ta those in this title! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s soundin’ dope with how this energy & “tatted-up” lifestyle gets tha people movin’! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & this street/club shit iz unstoppable! Such a dope vibe fa these streetz; there’s energy! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s pretty dope with how this southern lifestyle continues! Gotta keep it movin’! Also, a nice lil’ outro ta end this shit, too; good shit! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
05. “Show The Globe”
>>> Sounds like anotha good bounce vibe; lol @ tha “globe” as a topic, here…! Then again, just realized, this “globe” iz an ass! Think: its shape! As tha rest of this continues, tha energy & call-to-action orders don’t stop! Nothin’ but pureness, courtesy of tha Jiggy-Jiggy-Jubilee! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
06. “Cash Cash, Mo Money”
>>> S/O to tha U.N.L.V. boyz, “Tec-9, Lil’ Ya & (R.I.P.) Yella Boy”; good intro… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds like a dope voice fa tha hood; literally, it sounds like tha N.O.’s hood leader! It’s like a Juvenile bred was born! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like a weird-soundin’ low quality but it’s cool; tha hood iz in tha buildin’! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s soundin’ good with tha regular-soundin’ rhymes, delivered with energy; props… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it ain’t too bad, as well; still diggin’ tha N’awlinz flow/voice, despite some of it seemin’ like regular rappin’… As far as tha rest of this shit, it seems like it’s gettin’ long. I know tha “Get Jiggy” shit was two minutes longer but with tha way there’s so much call-to-action & dancin’ shit, length wasn’t an issue fa me, there. With this regular-soundin’ flows & rap joint, havin’ a certain length keeps me in-tune for a certain period of tyme, ya feel me? My Rating: 3.6
 
 
07. “Hustlin’ In The Street”
>>> Sounds like a dope bounce track that emerged from “tha street”; definitely nice & hype with tha energy! As this continues, it’s nothin’ but ward-callin’ & hood-reppin’, here; unstoppable!! Lol @ “To Papa Reu”; good-ole “papa”! Just luv how this seems like it’s impossible to end!! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
08. “Hey Lil’ Soldier”
>>> Sounds like a youngin-type of joint, here; an okay hook but I’ono how much I can dig this youngin… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds okay; not much ta say, except that tha energy’s good. Keepin’ this thang movin’ with tha 2nd verse & this young voice iz startin’ ta make me seem like it’s a young female on tha mic; not too excitin’ fa me… Hearin’ what we got after tha two verses & it sounds more like a grown dude, soundin’ decent. It sounds more like talkin’ than rappin’; not tha greatest, overall… My Rating: 2.5
 
 
½tyme: Other than tha youngin joint b4 tha ½tyme, I’ve been feelin’ tha consistent, non-stop energy applied to tha tracks, here; Jubilee’s unstoppable! Either way, 4.1 iz tha average score, currently; let’s see if tha rating’ll do betta, in tha end!
 
 
09. “Get Ignorant”
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ hyped-up track, here; good beat & good lil’ hook with what y’all applyin’ to tha streetz! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good with that Juvie-like flow; that 5-0-4—that rhymed (with “fo” as “4”)! Tha rest of what’s goin’ on with this track keeps tha energy up; can’t deny tha energy y’all puttin’ out fa tha streetz! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
10. “Get Jiggy With Al & Tee”
>>> Beat ain’t bad, here; I have a feelin’ I gon like tha just “Get Jiggy” betta than this… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good with tha energy y’all apply to gettin’ err-body to jigg; good shit… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s all about tha “Al & Tee”, basically? A lot less repetitive than “Get Jiggy” but it’s still aight. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s all about tha “Take Fo” lifestyle & representation, here; gotta feel what’s goin’ on, here… Afta two verses, this “breakdown” may seem like a long outro? Neva mind, a 3rd verse iz here & y’all keepin’ it movin’, here; good shit… Now, I hear tha outro fa almost tha whole final minute of tha track & it’s cool; tha club don’t stop! My Rating: 4.1
 
 
11. “Ghetto Stories”
>>> That young chick, again? Hearin’ tha hook & it’s ehh…; coulda heard somethin’ betta? Glad there’s energy in this beat, at least…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds like good content in tha street; I can’t complain too-too much. I think I’ve been so adjusted to that non-stop, male-vocal bounce vibe that this type of shit throws me for a lil’ curve. Props fa this chick fa deliverin’ consistent rhymes fa tha hood, at least; glad her not-really-for-me shit has quality in it… Endin’ this track with singin’? Doesn’t even match tha quality content I heard in this. Props for tryna push a “change” but tha way it’s sung sounds too depressin’… My Rating: 3.1
 
 
12. “All About A Hot Boy”
>>> Sounds good on tha hook & beat, here; always be a “hot boy”—a bounced-out one! Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 1st verse, comin’ through with that Hot Boy$-type shit, as if it was an undaground hood of New Orleans; good shit! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & what a deeper voice ta continue, here! Feelin’ their flow fa New Orleans, at least; keep it up with this hood content! Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 3rd verse & I’m still diggin’ this N’awlinz-like flow; strictly from tha 504, here! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
13. Interlude
>>> Sounds like a hyped-up interlude, here; keep tha energy goin’! Energy’s off tha chain fa tha crowd, here; not really a beat but mixin’ to get tha crowd up, up, up! My Rating: N/A
 
 
14. “I’m On Fire”
>>> Tha chick’s back! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds catchy with this “fire” & beat/its sounds; tha best one from tha chick…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good fa tha hood; can’t deny her perspective, here… Keepin’ this thang movin’ with tha 2nd verse & it’s soundin’ like a nice lil’ verse, as well; props fa tha proper energy fa tha streetz, here…! Tha rest of this shit sounds okay ta hear, as well; it’s anotha way of sayin’ tha energy neva dies! My Rating: 4.0
 
 
15. “One In The Chamber”
>>> Feelin’ tha energy in tha beat & claps, here; let’s get it! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty dope with how you have anotha bounce creation: “One In The Chamber”! It’s like, just keep tha same bounce energy, except change each title, lol. Keepin’ it goin’ with tha 1st verse, here & you can’t deny tha energy! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & there’s more crazy-soundin’ energy, here; luv how it can’t die!! As this shit continues with tha 3rd verse, it’s like a bunch of energy in a can—a song can, that iz! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
16. “Freeze The Beef”
>>> Sounds like anotha nicely-dialected 504 track, here; tha content & beat’s pretty nice fa tha hood, here…! Hook sounds nice ta express tha tension in tha hood; gotta put tha “beef” on “freeze”! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds like a cool lil’ soulja, just tryna make way; great job on this beat… Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse & y’all got mo cool shit goin’ on fa tha hood, here; all about expressin’ with a flow! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 3rd verse & it’s soundin’ like a young Juvie, once again, comin’ through, supplyin’ tha hood; huh bruh…! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
Overall: This was a dope set of tracks; props fa all tha energy, Jubilee & Bounce Squad! Just didn’t really dig too-too much of tha chick but at least mostly all of this release was on-n-poppin’! Keep up tha energy & keep drillin’ it in peoples’ minds, bodies & anything in between!

R.I.P. Video #61: Pimp Daddy



Broadcasting from tha Abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike, here in Wells Tannery, PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog here, sadly reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community (special edition).

Today, April 18, 2018, marks 24 years since tha murder of Edgar Givens, known in tha undaground, Louisiana rap scene as Pimp Daddy. Givens was born in 1976 and was from New Orleans. An early artist signed with Cash Money Records, Givens released his debut album, Still Pimpin', in 1993. Lookin' like he had a bright future ahead of him, unfortunately, tha good times were short-lived for Givens. In tha Florida projects in New Orleans on April 18, 1994, Givens was fatally shot and killed at point-blank range. Many believe a musical love triangle resulted in Givens' death; Rodney Temple was charged with life in murdering Givens. During his Cash Money time, Givens was said to be dating labelmate, Ms. Tee. However, another labelmate, Cheeky Blakk, claimed that Givens was tha father of her child. Needless to say, Givens was in an argument with Ms. Tee's brother. That's when Givens was shot in tha face and killed at only 18 years-old. One year after his death, Givens' 2nd album, Pimp'n Ain't E-Z, was released in 1995.

R.I.P. Video #60: Yella Boy (U.N.L.V.)



Broadcasting from Concrete City, here in Nanticoke, PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog, here, sadly reporting anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community. A special edition, today, April 5, 2018.

Today, April 5, 2018, marks 21 years since tha murder of New Orleans, LA rapper, Yella Boy. Yella Boy was born Albert Thomas in 1975. During the early '90s, Thomas joined tha rap group, U.N.L.V., which consisted of Tec-9, Lil' Ya & Yella Boy, himself. U.N.L.V. was one of tha 1st acts signed with Cash Money Records during tha early '90s. U.N.L.V. released their debut album, 6th & Baronne, in 1993. In 1994, they released their 2nd album, Straight Out Tha Gutta. In 1995, their 3rd album, Mac Melph Calio, was released, as well as Scrap Up!!. Their 4th album, Uptown 4 Life, was released in 1996. During 1996, life drew a hint of darkness for Thomas, as Thomas and Cash Money rep, Baby a.k.a. Birdman, started gettin' into it. U.N.L.V. was rumored to be dropped from Cash Money Records and Thomas pistol-whipped Baby. In a form of retaliation, many believe Baby killed Thomas. On April 5, 1997, Thomas was shot in tha head and killed in a dangerous drug deal at only 22 years-old. After Thomas' death, U.N.L.V. released their Greatest Hits compilation in 1997. After a four-year hiatus, U.N.L.V. returned in 2001 with their 5th album, The Return of U.N.L.V.: Trend Setters, on Blazin' South Records. In 2003, U.N.L.V. hit tha streets with their 6th album, Keep It Gutta, courtesy of B Real Entertainment. In 2004, U.N.L.V.'s 7th album, Gutta 4 Life, was also released on B Real Entertainment.

Review #1,564: The Dayton Family "F.B.I."

Reviewed on 10.03.2016 (Review #1,564)


Here’s anotha review: The Dayton Family F.B.I., released in 1996 on Relativity Records & was produced by Steve Pitts, Ira Dorsey, The Dayton Family & Raheen Petterson. Start Time: 5:52 PM | End Time: 6:52 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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

08. “I Like It (Radio Edit)”
A radio edit? >>> Tha beat sounds nice fa tha ‘90s; feelin’ tha style… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s mainly your singin’ style… It sounds catchy ta hear, here…; nice job with tha hook, too… Tha rest of this kinda boring, but tha beginning wasn’t too bad ta hear… My Rating: 3.6

Review #1,548: The Dayton Family "What's On My Mind?"

Reviewed on 9.27.2016 (Review #1,548)


My next review may not 100% be a Louisiana review, but I still count it as a part of my marathon. Tec-9, who I’ve talked to, told me about this release and I decided to add it to my marathon. The Dayton Family What’s On My Mind? iz my next review, released in 1995 on Po Broke Records & Relativity Records. This was produced by The Dayton Family, themselves, who happen ta be Bootleg, Shoestring (Tec-9) & Backstabba. Start Time: 7:32 PM | End Time: 8:35 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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Sound Effectz
Six seconds… >>> Eerie… and, computerized… My Rating: N/A


02. “Smoke For Free”
>>> Feelin’ tha West Coast vibe, here, and tha 1st verse’s soundin’ nice; diggin’ tha “smoke” content! This a “1994” track, despite this CD bein’ released in 1995… Tha hook’s pretty nice; once again, feelin’ tha West Coast vibe! I used ta be one of those that shmoked “for free.” However, after no1 was pullin’ through up here with havin’ anythang, I had ta get it out tha mud! It’s top-notch that way!! Anyway, hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty good, too; keep tha rhymes comin’! My Rating: 4.2


03. “I’m A Gee”
>>> Nice lil’ undaground beat fa tha ‘90s, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and this shit’s official, as far as street quality. A long 1st verse but it was worth it, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty simple, but nice! “I’m a muthafuckin’ gangsta (I’m a muthafuckin’ gee); I’m a muthafuckin’ gangsta (I’m a muthafuckin’ gee)!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty nice, too… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it’s soundin’ nice, too; can’t complain… My Rating: 4.1


04. “Potato Chip”
>>> Anotha nicely-produced track… I’m diggin’ tha energy provided in tha 1st verse, here… Interestin’ hook on this “potato chip-ass nigga;” gah-bage, they iz, lol! Definitely catchy! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice, too; consistency at its finest! Tha 3rd verse’s nice ta hear; spit it live! My Rating: 4.3


05. “Oxydol”
Nice title… >>> Beat’s nice; a lil’ more uptempo fa tha West Coast style, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and y’all rollin’ dem rhymes off, once again! Gotta dig it! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s consistent, here; definitely diggin’ tha rhymes! My Rating: 4.3


06. “Watch Yo Ass”
>>> Definitely diggin’ tha keys in this beat start; gangsta at its finest!! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice ova this beat! Can’t deny these rhymes from these OGz! Tha hook’s kinda catchy, but mainly ‘cause tha keys in tha beat… Ooh @ 2:06 in tha beat; great beat interlude!! Now, we got tha 2nd verse and y’all comin’ through wit tha vibe ta keep shit on-n-poppin’! My Rating: 4.3


07. “Nutty Niggaz”
>>> Jammin’ gangsta beat and tha 1st verse’s pretty aggressive and energetic!! Tha hook’s catchy; definitely feelin’ how y’all repeat tha title! Really feelin’ tha vibe of tha start to tha 2nd verse! Definitely gangsta at its finest! Unstoppable rhymes!! My Rating: 4.6


½time: Unstoppable CD, so far! Definitely quality fa tha undaground streetz, here; great job, y’all! A 4.3-rated CD, currently; nice!!


08. “Dope Dayton Ave.”
>>> Nice beginning with this beat and y’all intro! Great shit comin’ outta tha 1st verse, here, strictly rhymin’ off this beat! Tha hook’s pretty catchy; definitely a “dope” avenue! Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ this consistent, aggressive, street shit vibin’!! Nice reference to tha “Geto Boys” with tha track, “Mind’s Playing Tricks On Me”! Tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ nice ta hear, too… Gangsta shit at its finest! Even some mixin’ toward tha end, too, like if it was a mixtape! My Rating: 4.4


09. Sound Effectz
Again, lol? >>> Same “sound!” My Rating: N/A


10. “Flint Niggaz Don’t Play”
>>> Feelin’ tha funky beat and how y’all comin’ through on tha 1st verse, here… Y’all mention “Nine-Tre” a lot; most of these tracks were recorded in ’93? Tha hook sounded a lil’ catchy, even tho I’ve liked some of tha previous shit on here a lil’ more… Consistent rhymes comin’ outta tha 2nd verse, here; can’t deny it! Gutta, consistent rhymes continuin’ in tha 3rd verse, here! My Rating: 4.2


11. “Thru A Thang”
>>> Catchy beat start; definitely undaground-soundin’! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice fa tha dark! Tha hook sounds catchy fa this undaground G-shit! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and I’m feelin’ tha beat much betta durin’ this verse! Definitely mysterious!! It’s like, what can happen 2morrow?! Who knows!! Beat’s A++!!! Rhymes are definitely nice, too!! And, we’re endin’ this with that mysterious beat; nice! My Rating: 4.5


12. “Billy Blunt”
Likin’ tha title! >>> Definitely anticipatin’ tha beat start, here! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and I’m feelin’ tha consistent rappin’; y’all don’t stop! Tha hook sounds nice; always great ta hear a weed anthem! Or betta yet, “Tha buddha! Tha buddha!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice ta hear; can’t complain! “I won’t stop smokin’ till I smoke all my B-U-D;” Y-E-A-H!! My Rating: 4.3


13. “What’s On My Mind?”
Title track, here… >>> Sounds good fa a start, here… Lol, “I got my dick in between some bitch’s breasts;” dope shit! Y’all wildin’ out on tha 1st verse, here! “I pulled my dick out, then I pissed on tha flo’;” crazy! Gotta love y’all! Really feelin’ these descriptive, X-rated lyrics! A long 1st verse but it’s all good… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds decent with tha background vocals… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s decent, too… Tha title part can get repetitive, at times, and these verses can get long, at times, too… My Rating: 3.9


14. “Flint Town”
Endin’ it wit a 6:08-length track… >>> Beat’s nice fa this West Coast undaground-like style… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and there’s a lot ta spit, here… Simple hook, here, as y’all repeatin’ tha title. However, it’s nice; good job! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and this continues… Good shit comin’ outta tha 3rd verse, too; can’t complain! I like how y’all say, “Groove to tha sounds of tha TDL;” almost thought that was “TDF,” lol… And, with 1:42 remaining, we have an outro… My Rating: 4.1


Overall: I thought this was an excellent CD! Not much ta say, at times, but y’all know y’all did y’all thang! Feelin’ tha production tha whole way round and how y’all spit y’all gangsta tales on this! Great job!
