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

Reviewed on 2.25.2022 (Review #2,016)
 
 

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

Disclaimer: I rate each scene from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care what’s what! As long as it’s cool and good enough for me to like it! I look for style & then tha storyline. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings (if a scene gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already; if at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I see it) so any scene can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I see tha scene; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha scene while I’m watching it. If you act like anything too mainstream for me, there’s auto-tune or lots of talkin’ about money, hoes & stuntin’ 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it! I also don’t go for stuntin’ wit tons of money, non-stop…

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

R.I.P. Video #65: Vicious (X-Mob)

Recorded February 19, 2019

Broadcasting from an icy waterfall, here in Pittston, PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog here, sadly reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community:

Eric Johnson, known by his stage name, Vicious, from tha rap group, X-Mob, passed away on Monday, February 18, 2019, after battling complications from Stage 4 cancer in jail; he was only 51 years-old.

Johnson was from tha Lake Charles area of Louisiana. During tha early '90s, he formed tha group, X-Mob, with Bundy G & Slice, as E-Vicious. Courtesy of X-Mob Records, X-Mob released their debut album, Handlin' Thangs, in 1994. In 1995, they started releasing music under Par-Le Records and released their 2nd album, Ghetto Mail. In 1997, X-Mob's 3rd & final album, Paper Chasing, was released. In 1998, X-Mob collaborated with Cali rapper, B-Legit, and released "Nationwide", featuring Nitro, on Ruthless Records. Tha song was featured tha following year on tha Turf Stories movie soundtrack. In 2002, Johnson went on to pursue a solo career, releasing his debut solo album, I Ball Like Kobe, on Par-La Records. In 2004, he dropped two projects: Strictly For Da Streetz, Vol. 1, on Par-La Records & Walk Like A "G", on Eye 4n Eye Records & Par-La Records. In 2007, Johnson released two collaboration projects. First, teamin' up wit Lafayette's Mr. Phat for Southwest Rioters Better Getcha Mind Right, on Vicious Entertainment. Second, teamin' up wit N'awlinz rapper, Lil' Domicci, for Hurricane, Sugacane & Cocaine, Vol. 1, on GK Records, Utopia Entertainment & B.O.M. Entertainment. In 2008, Johnson released another collaboration project, this time with Houma rapper, Husaholic, Am I My Brother's Keeper, on 1008 Grams Entertainment & Vicious Entertainment. Tha Husaholic collab-project would put Johnson's career on hold, as he soon found trouble with tha law. On tha night of May 18, 2012, a 43-year-old by tha name of Ray Ryan, was murdered. Johnson was later accused of provoking tha violence that lead to Ryan's death, though charged with "inciting a riot with death," facing up to 21 years in prison. In 2016, Johnson released multiple CDs, which would be his final releases: Back 2 Tha Money: The Tale Of A Trill O.G., United Hates Of America, The Final Chapter, Underground Kingz with Yung Goldie, Straight Drop (The Mixtape), Answer 2 Da Question & Possession Wit Intent, all on Vicious Entertainment. Johnson woulda lived to see 52 if he made it to August 21.


Moments:

On October 15, 2011, during Frankie's former radio show, "Tha Louisiana Pit", X-Mob's song with Pimp C, "Good Times", would unexpectedly play a part in ruining Frankie's interest in rap music about money. An artist from Baton Rouge, who was featured on that show's episode, flashed $2,000 on camera & threw it at Frankie. A month later, on November 17, 2011, Frankie lent tha artist $500 to come back up to Pennsylvania. Tha artist wound up calling off and didn't return tha money to Frankie till October 6, 2018. Even though tha money was returned almost seven years later, tha incident left Frankie scarred, as he questioned rappers' financial lifestyles & started disliking lyrics about money.

R.I.P. Video #39: Racked-Up Ready

Recorded June 25, 2015, but released on July 8, 2015, in honor of Ready's birthday.

Broadcasting from tha treehouse in my hometown of Port Jefferson Station on Long Island, NY, it's FrankieThaLuckyDog here, reporting another unfortunate loss in tha Louisiana rap community.

Shannen Ve'Latrail Hudson, known in tha rap game as Racked-Up Ready (formerly Young Ready), was one of two victims murdered around 3:30 PM on Tuesday, June 23, 2015, in Bogalusa, LA. Hudson and 28-year-old Jare Stevenson, both from Baton Rouge, were inside a vehicle on City Limits Road when shots were fired, killing both Hudson & Stevenson instantly.

Hudson was one of Baton Rouge's most-known underground rappers, consistently releasing music for tha streets to embrace. Throughout his career, he had been managed by tha likes of Baton Rouge's J-Dirty & Atlanta's Tony "iAmThaConnect" Guidry. In 2006, he released his debut, Junkie Medicine (Cocaine Edition), on Grind Tyme Entertainment. In 2007, he signed with fellow Rouger, C-Loc's Camp Life Entertainment, releasing Break It Off! with Reno Da Gutta & Loc, himself. During 2008, Hudson was arrested for illegally carrying a weapon, and was released from jail on November 3, 2008. Shortly after, in tha spring of 2009, he released his 2nd CD, That's How I'm Coming, and in tha fall of 2009, released his 3rd CD, It Ain't No Secret. To jump-start tha 2010s decade, he kept tha streets full by teaming up with fellow Rouger, Savage, and released tha collaboration project, Self-Made Bosses. Later on in tha year, he left Camp Life and started his own label, B.O.W. Entertainment, releasing his 1st CD on tha label, High Profile, his 4th one, overall. His 5th CD, Goon Incorporated, was released in 2011; his 6th CD, Goon Related, was released in 2012. Family Ties, his 7th solo disc, was released in 2013, also on Baton Rouge's DJ Wookee's Crook Muzik Music Group. With tha scene changing and time surpassing, Hudson started goin' by "Racked-Up Ready" in 2013, signed with Dead Game Records, and dropped his 8th disc, Street Laws, during that summer. Hudson entered tha year 2014 in a quality/quantity fashion by dropping three discs: Street Laws (Reloaded), a Dead Game Records project called I-10 To I-95 Connection with tha Rouge's Lil' One The Champ & Malachi, and what was his final release, The Goon Division, with BR's Madd Marvin, D-Nic & ZC Juice. Hudson was in tha process of releasing Goon Brothers, a collaboration project with close Rouge friend, Mista Cain. Today, Wednesday, July 8, 2015, would've been Hudson's 32nd birthday if he was still alive today.

Article #01: FrankieThaLuckyDog'z Best Underground Louisiana Rap From the Last 7 Years

FrankieThaLuckyDog’z Best Underground Louisiana Rap From the Last 7 Years

Words by Mass Appeal / Friday, October 17th, 2014

When it comes to Louisiana rap, FrankieThaLuckyDog is a modern-day savant. And we’re not just talking about being able to recite Cash Money and No Limit Records’ respective rosters. The 26-year-old Pennsylvania native has an unparalleled knowledge of Louisiana’s underground scene. Yung Yola, Nu$$ie, DJ B-Real, BluBlack: these are just a handful of the names in Frankie’s rolodex of reviews.

Seven years ago, a sequence of events led Frankie to discover 23-year-old Jimmy the DJ’s Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1 mixtape. 1,417 reviews later, including one of Kevin Gates’ All Or Nuthin’ (The Mixtape) in September of 2008, FrankieThaLuckyDog is celebrating the 7-year anniversary of his “Louisiana Connection.”

We hit up Frankie up to find out his favorite records he’s reviewed. He came back to us with a list of his top 10, coupled with a few sentences about why the record stands the test of time. So, without further adieu, here are FrankieThaLuckyDog’z favorite underground Lousiana rap records.

#10: Yung Yola & D.$.G. 99 Wayz 2 Grind (2009)
Straight outta Gardere Lane in Baton Rouge, Yung Yola & D.$.G. brought their street tales to tha table with their 99 Wayz 2 Grind project. From Yola’s pill-poppin’ anthem “Keep Chewin'” to tha ghetto fabulous “What Am I Gone Do Today?,” it’s no surprise why Frankie got hooked onto Yola’s persona.

#09: K-Chill Fight Night (2011)
Opelousas native K-Chill has been in tha Louisiana rap scene since tha mid ’90s as a part of tha rap group Da Click. Droppin’ his Fight Night disc in late 2011, Frankie became hooked to a consecutive amount of club bangers. Songs such as “Conan,” “Who Wanna Fight,” “Call The Ambulance,” and “Put That Pistol On Ya” prove to tha listener that you can have energy for years to come.

#08: Nu$$ie Bad Azz (2006)
Reppin’ Baton Rouge, now-deceased rapper Nu$$ie dropped his debut, Bad Azz, in 2006. With features that include Baton Rouge natives Kevin Gates, Savage, Big Markee, Max Minelli, to name a few, tha production made you feel like you were deep down in Baton Rouge, even if you were not near there. Not to mention, Nu$$ie and tha crew’s street rhymes give you an insight on how you can love and take caution in tha streets of BR.

#07: Young Ready Junkie Medicine (Cocaine Edition) (2006)
Straight outta Zion City in Baton Rouge, rapper Young Ready, now known as Racked-Up Ready, hit tha underground streets in 2006 with his Junkie Medicine (Cocaine Edition) mixtape. Featuring quality production from DJ B-Real, Sims & Killa B, as well as features from rappers out his section, Ready gave tha streets a take on how gutta Baton Rouge people can be. Mix tha content with tha production and your replay button will always be on.

#06: Tha Camp Break It Off! (2007)
Released in tha fall of 2007, Baton Rouge supergroup Tha Camp, consisting of C-Loc, Reno Da Gutta, and Young Ready, released their Break It Off! disc. As each rapper took turns deliverin’ street rhymes and club bangers, production from heavyweights like B-Real, Mouse, and C-Loc made Frankie keep bumpin’ Break It Off! non-stop.

#05: DJ B-Real Pay Da Producer Vol. 1 (2013)
Tha year 2013 kicked off strong when Baton Rouge’s Trill Entertainment producer B-Real dropped his solo debut, Pay Da Producer Vol. 1. Producing and rapping every track with underground Gs like Big Wayne, Zeus, Infa Red, and Mouse, B-Real’s flow and club-friendly tracks were highly infectious to Frankie’s ears. Pay Da Producer Vol. 1‘s one of those CDs that will make you ask B-Real to forever rap and produce tracks—any time, any day.

#04: Jimmy the DJ Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2: Ghetto Pass (Hosted by Nu$$ie) (2008)
Kenner DJ, Jimmy the DJ, dropped his second mixtape compilation, Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 2: Ghetto Pass, in tha summer of 2008. Hosted by Nu$$ie, tha mixtape features underground rappers from New Orleans and Baton Rouge coming together and bringing their A-game. As Frankie supported each rapper, he even got a shout out from Nu$$ie on tha outro.

#03: Beat Flippa Street Certified (2008)
During 2008, Baton Rouge producer Beat Flippa dropped his debut, Street Certified. Featuring pure production from mainly himself, as well as features from Kevin Gates, Savage, Nu$$ie, Young Ready, and more, Street Certified provided a buffet of Baton Rouge quality for Frankie. Street Certified‘s a great place to find plenty of rappers, street music, club bangers, and a sound to always keep on replay.

#02: Big Jay Presents Pyrex Radio Vol. 4: From Crumbs 2 Brickz (2006)
Baton Rouge DJ Big Jay came through in late 2006 with his 4th installment of his Pyrex Radio mixtape compilations. With features like C-Loc, Young Ready, Savage, Kevin Gates, Jigga House Records, 3Deep, and others, Frankie got addicted to this mixtape quicker than any drug. It also opened tha door for him to embrace Baton Rouge’s sound and style.

#01: BluBlack Code Blu (2008)
Gardere Lane representative BluBlack released his Code Blu album toward tha end of 2008. With nearly all of tha production and rappin’ done by Blu, Blu’s drug-induced lifestyle, pill-poppin’, street music caught on with Frankie in a major, addictive way. Tha CD also introduced him to peeps like Yung Yola, and he kept replaying tha CD constantly throughout 2009. Code Blu goes down as Frankie’s favorite Louisiana CD that he’s come across throughout his 7-year period of bein’ connected with tha Louisiana rap scene.
