FrankieThaLuckyDog here... Just have ta say: R.I.P. Michael Jackson! I
know his death was worldwide and shit, but overall, Nu$$ie's death was tha
worst death I've dealt wit in tha music business 'cause I was actually cool wit
his peoples and shit. Anyway, 'bout ta go into my next review (tha 1st one
today). Here's my review fa Johnnie Domino "Album Rejects Vol. 1"!
Start Time: 12:59 PM | End Time: 2:26 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 or have auto-tune
in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Intro
Time to start thangz off here; what to expect in tha intro? >>>
Soundin' like I'm gettin' drawn into it; I like how you said "dawg."
Oh, shit! You gave a shout out to my big dawg Sims and Go Get It Music!!! Holy
shit, that's watz good!! And this was like an '07 mixtape (if I'm not
mistaken)! I'm GLAD y'all cool wit each otha! He made tha start of my day today
by writing back ta me on MySpace. If you cool wit Sims, then I'm REALLY lookin'
forward to this mixtape!! My Rating: N/A
02. "Shine'in' Without A Diamond" Feat. T-Lo
Looks like I'll look forward ta Nasty Nate on tha beat, as well as T-Lo bein'
featured on it (tha features are gonna have me REAL anticipated)! Should be
some HOT SHIT right chea!! >>> Sounds like tha clappin' iz a lil' off
in tha beginning... Pretty good beat/expectin' it ta grow on me. T-Lo had an
okay intro; glad he introduced you into tha song. Sounds like you're off to a
pretty nice start here on tha 1st verse. T-Lo sounds good on tha hook; nice
hook. Your 2nd verse here iz soundin' on tha "fresh" type here wit
tha "$160 polo;" that a lot for a polo. I usually pay $15 fa my
polos. Nice 2nd verse, and yea, that hook iz nice from T-Lo. You on tha 3rd
verse here, continuin' tha "fresh" shit here. Good job on tha 3rd
verse, and nice song overall. My Rating: 3.9
03. "Messmakers" Feat. Backdraft & Maverick
Ooh, Sims on tha beat!!! Holy shit, you KNOW this gon be a high anticipated one
fa me!! And 2 new featured artists too, so that's DEFINITELY watz good!!
>>> Yea, this beat iz MUCH BETTA!!! It's like a dose of 100% Baton Rouge right here!!
Off to a REAL great start wit tha "keep mah name out cha mouth!" Now,
tha 1st verse here, doin' a nice job wit tha beat contributin' to tha great 1st
verse. Great job on tha 1st verse, and that hook iz just catchy as hell; nice
title! Nice start to this 2nd verse here wit that female! Ooh, tha "Mary
Jane/like you smokin' reefa" part was nice! She did a betta job than you
on her verse, so thumbs up to her fa deliverin' some hot shit!! Nice start to
tha 3rd verse wit tha "99 wayz ta die" part; reminds me of Yung
Yola's 99 Wayz 2 Grind Entertainment label (G-Lane!!). Sounds like a gangsta
verse wit tha "gunplay" type lyrics; anotha GREAT verse here (2nd
best on this track)! Sims a FOOL wit it! I accidently spelled Sims name wit 2
m's in my Young Ready commercial, but since you spelled his name wit 2 m's
here, I shouldn't feel too bad for my error (although I think his name iz
really wit 1 m). My Rating: 4.5
04. "How They Want It?" Feat. Bobby T & Big Head
Mouse On Tha Track on tha track here... Actually, it's funny wit this song
'cause wit every CD I review (excluding tha ones in my marathon), I add a file
to my iTunes called "Tracks From *insert CD name*". When I was
entering your name as tha artist, it came up wit these featured rappers, and I
was like, "I heard a song by Johnnie Domino?" So, I did my research,
and this song came up in my iTunes when I added it to my iTunes (after I
reviewed "Pyrex Radio Vol. 3: On Tha Muscle"). I checked tha rating I
gave it, and it was 4.4. After seein' that, I KNEW there was luck in you!! And
because I reviewed it back in February 2008, I'm gonna re-review it now due to
back then, I didn't really say anything about every single verse in tha song.
So, here goes my anticipating re-hearin' of this song! >>> Sounds like
a Young Ready voice in tha beginning BTW. I can hear tha simple hook now (tha 1st
time I reviewed it, I said tha hook was real simple). Here comes that 1st verse
from you, soundin' great, and better than before! Knowin' that you fuck wit all
these people (Mouse, Sims, Big Head, etc.) makes it a BIG pleasure that you
discovered me and hit me up; it means a lot!! Nice 1st verse, especially wit
tha "tail" part. Oh, re-hearin' tha hook again (wit added lyrics) and
I remember it!! Rememba playin' it on my iPod on shuffle (I rememba that
"my nuts on tha curb too" part that I liked); REAL nice hook!! Tha
2nd verse here iz soundin' good; diagnosed wit Baton Rouge elements BIG TIME!! Great job on
tha 2nd verse from Bobby T right there; you KNOW I can't get enough of this
shit! Big Head on tha 3rd verse here, and soundin' great (as always)! Lookin'
forward to his new CD, and I'm just feelin' his verse, so you KNOW it's A+ on
tha track right here! Nice Mouse ending on tha beat! Much better review here
vs. tha 1st time when I only said (including tha preview): I think I only heard
of Big Head. Iz this gon be a Louisiana
song? >>> Real simple hook in tha beginning… Oh yeah gotta give props
to my dawg Jimmy The DJ for sendin' me this mixtape ["Pyrex Radio Vol. 3:
On Tha Muscle"] as well. Major props on that! I seem to be really likin'
this joint even tho it's too simple. Okay I really like tha hook now. Seems like
it's catchin' on real good right now! Great collabo and verses! Prolly tha best
"comeback" review for a song from tha beginning of tha song to tha
end! My Current Rating: 4.6
05. "Get 'Em" Feat. Hopeless
Luvin' these FUCKIN' 4:30+ lengths, and these producers/unknown featured
artists!!! B-Real on tha track, so here comes my heart poundin' wit luv for tha
track!! >>> Ooh, a phone call in tha beginning; likin' it! Ooh, RAW
hook here; fuckin' luvin' it!! Off to a REAL NICE start here; might be tha best
song on here so far!! Feelin' your fuckin' flow on this shit right here wit
those great lyrics!! Just fuckin' luvin' this; you tha shit, ESPECIALLY wit who
you fuck wit!!! Yea, "everything you do, nigga, you use yo
brain;" I SO FUCKIN' AGREE!!! FUCKIN' LUVIN' THA HOOK; YOU THA SHIT!!!
Ooh, Hopeless came in STRONG; like how he said "brah" outta nowhere.
He got a LOTTA shit goin' on here wit a GREAT Baton Rouge voice!! Ooh, like tha "cut
ya...burn ya to tha 3rd degree" part; he REALLY doin' tha damn thang!!! Ooh,
"a vicious nigga thuggin';" HOW FUCKIN' TIGHT!!! You on tha 3rd verse
here, and it's soundin' GREAT! I like tha dayz of tha week in this verse here;
nice weekly update, lol. Great 3rd verse, and no less ending it wit "I do
homework." I feel like these reviewz are my homework right now, spendin'
1.5 - 2.5 hours doin' a review. Luvin' tha beat outro from B-Real, anotha real
dude on this shit!! My Rating: 4.9
06. (Skit) Young Trelly Of Pyrex Radio
Ooh, nice length on tha skit (2:30 around)! He used to annoy me on "Pyrex
Radio Vol. 5: Back To The Money", but I'm curious to hear what he gotta
say on yo CD!! >>> LOL @ tha clappin' in tha audience. Yea, shout out
ta you (Johnnie Domino). He's soundin' good on this shit, and he mentioned your
"How They Want It" song just like I did, lol. Trelly's a lot more
interesting here than annoying; you KNOW I luv tha "ya heard me"s and
shit like that. SMH @ him sayin' "no homo;" I refuse ta say that,
especially wit my Autism reflectin' how I feel about shit! And speakin' of that
"So Sick Of Jigg Songs" song, you made it? IDK about bein' sick of
jigg songs, but as long as it's not brought out there in a noticable way; then,
it's cool. IDK what's goin' through my mind right nah; I'll just continue tha
review on tha CD. Nice skit from Trelly!! My Rating: N/A
07. "So Sick Of Jigg Songs (Jigg Song Diss)"
JYNXED; NO!!!!! Well, I'm guessin' this ain't over tha "So Sick" beat
('cause it says "Produced by: Major League Productions"). And OMG, it
nearly 4:40 on tha length too! IDK what else ta say...; I'm speechless!
>>> Good thing tha beat changed at nearly :11. Tha beat iz great, but
IDK what ta expect wit tha "diss"... I like tha "jiggalate/duplicate"
part. I don't mind any of tha jiggalatin' music, but I guess it hit you in some
way. Sorry, tha hook ain't fa me; I disagree, lol! You may say "jigg songs
sound tha same," but if you think about it, some of tha shitty Pop/R&B
Dance remixes that are made now sound EXACTLY tha same on every remix (e.g., a
Moto Blanco remix) and DOMINATE tha Dance/Trance music scene in a BAD way;
that's where it sounds boring! Jigg songs? They ALWAYS spark interest ta me!
You said "Jigga Juice" in this; was that song out back in '07? Maybe,
in your hands, we'll keep tha whole "jiggalatin'" movement in tha
undaground, and let tha otha types of BR music sounds go a lil' bigger in tha
mainstream. Either way, eva since I started luvin' Louisiana music, it was neva goin' Pop
anymore, or barely hittin' tha mainstream Rap areas. I will support Louisiana (especially Baton Rouge) music to tha fullest!!! Wow, tha
remainin' minute of tha song got REAL cheesy... I didn't like tha "ladies,
break it down, break it down" part (and there bein' no ladies no less) as
well as that bad ending (last 15 seconds) of tha singin' of w/e it was... Not
my kinda song, but thanx for gettin' a message across. I neva want tha whole
"jigg" movement ta eva end. It can be undaground fa'eva. As long as I
hear a lil' bit of jigg, a lil' bit of gangsta, a lil' bit of BR slang, and a
lil' bit of smokin' weed from Baton Rouge, I'm good! My Rating: 3.2
^ Tha beat and just how you broke tha whole reasons why you ain't like tha
"jiggin'" movement kept my rating from goin' under 3.0.
½time: Anotha SURPRISIN' mixtape right here, as you're just DOIN' THA
DAMN THANG here!!! Tha producers you're hookin' up wit (as well as tha new
featured artists) iz REALLY turnin' me on wit this mixtape right chea! I guess after
that "Jigg Diss", you can kinda keep jiggin' on tha low from now on
wit your Raps. DEFINITELY FIYA production and GREAT songs you're comin' up wit;
MAJOR, MAJOR PROPS from ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog!! Average CD rating iz
currently 4.2!
08. "Groove Wit You" Feat. Box
Not sure of anticipation fa that title/nearly 4:30 on tha length... Q-Red on
tha track though, so we'll see how this goes! >>> Not tha kinda Q-Red
beat I'd hear; bad beat intro... Hope this wasn't influenced from Plies &
T-Pain's "Shawty" now... Gonna hear your 1st verse right nah, and
it's soundin' pretty good wit tha lyrics. I always dislike when there's random
female vocal samples in beats (especially wit HIGH-ASS pitches). Chipmunk voice
in tha hook, lol? It ain't that bad... Let's see what Box has ta offer... I
like tha rhymes on this verse here. There were better rhymes in tha 2nd verse
here. Now, tha 3rd verse from you here... It sounded like Box blended in wit
your voice; it was nearly hard ta tell who was who. Nice "research on tha
lady." Not bad/passed my test. I can't really say, "Q-Red, good job,
man," 'cause somebody else could've been known for producin' that beat.
Not sure of seein' Q-Red bein' a lil' versitile; I like my producers known for
a certain sound, not an alteration. My Rating: 3.4
09. Chirp Abuse Skit
Oh, shit! About 3:00 on tha length, and it's a skit from you; I'm SO fuckin'
ready ta hear this!!! >>> Sounds like a chipmunk again, this time on
tha phone, lol. Ooh, you said, "shit chea;" that's one of my favorite
Baton Rouge
sayin's (since it's original); always reminds me of G-Lane 'cause all my G-Lane
peeps say that. I wonder who's on tha phone fa you... Oh no, it sounds like
that chipmunk again... LOL. I can't believe that Dr. Landcaster person put you
off for a month! How shitty! People do that ta me, only longer; I call them
"fake" when they do that ta me, and I don't wanna deal wit 'em
anymore (that's people who I'm tryna help and shit; they can't even get me their
shit! How pathetic)! Your anger at tha end sounded like my dad and brother! My
Rating: N/A
10. "Chirp Abuse" Feat. Spaide R.I.P.P.E.R.
Ooh, it's a song too? Oh, shit! I nearly shit my pants when I saw Sims on tha
beat!!! Holy shit, time ta be embraced fa this!!!!! >>> "156 new
text messages;" wow... Either a luv or hate here; sounds too much like
"Laffy Taffy" in tha beat. Why tha snapping? Interesting hook though.
Tha 1st verse here from you iz soundin' like it's gonna have that interesting
flow just like in tha "So Sick Of Jigg Songs". Great job on tha 1st
verse. Let's see tha 2nd verse... LOL @ tha "MySpace" ad-lib on tha
1st line; sounded outta nowhere, lol. I like that "100 words a
minute." I don't text that fast, but I type 94-95 WORDS a minute; I
a BEAST at that, and on one lesson in class, I typed 103 WORDS a minute!! Nice
job on tha 2nd verse; maybe I can deal wit this. I can't say it's not Sims
'cause tha beat iz dark overall. Oh, here's that Spaide Ripper dude on tha 3rd
verse... Like that voice. He did a great job wit his verse, especially in his
voice. Not that bad of a song; I can deal wit it. I betta hear anotha Sims
production though 'cause this ain't how I want tha Sims productions ta end on
this CD! My Rating: 3.7
11. "Hard Wit His Boys" Feat. Young Ready & T-Lo
Oh, shit!! I wanted anotha Sims production before tha CD ended, and it's here
already!!! HOLY SHIT!!! I luv that boy Sims and his music, ya dig; he tha
shit!! And you even got Ready on this bitch, so HOPEFULLY an AUTOMATIC 4.6+
rating!!! >>> Interesting start wit tha "3 gangstaz and 6 pussy
niggaz." Now, this has a MUCH betta beat intro!! Sounds kinda quiet on my
speakers, but as long as there's a sound, then that's ALL that matters!! Great
job on tha true hook, and wow, what a FUCKIN' GREAT START to tha 1st verse wit
you, goin' "Domino, muthaFUCKA!!" Real NICE job on tha 1st verse;
makes me wanna hear more from you on this CD! T-Lo sounds like Juvenile on tha
hook, lol. Ooh, Ready's on tha 2nd verse!! Of course, he "got tha
recipe!" Feelin' his verse here, always deliverin' that shit! Yea,
"80's baby;" 1988 right chea! Wow, hearin' tha hook again, and it
sounds REAL TRUE wit tha "by yoself, you don't make no noise" part,
and that's true when it comes ta people I used ta deal wit at college. They
would be hard (and always) wit their boyz, but when tryna talk ta me online/on
tha phone, bullshit! T-Lo doin' a nice job on tha 3rd verse, jiggin' a lil' wit
tha "them chewies made me do it;" nice job! Definitely feelin' that
Sims got on anotha track wit you here. I said it befo and I'ma say it again: HE
THA SHIT!!! My Rating: 4.7
12. "Shut Up" Feat. Maverick & Bobby T
Just like tha last song (which I didn't mention), this song ALSO has a length
4:30+!!! You LUV havin' these LONG-ASS songs on here, which makes me ENJOY tha
songs more!!! 2 Saint on tha beat here, so let's see how this one turns out ta
be; I have a good feelin'... >>> Sounds like a pretty nice beat and a
good start to tha 1st verse wit you and your "tactic" part. Good job
on tha 1st verse, and tha hook sounds real hot. I KNEW that tha "shut
up" part was gonna sound a lil' funny wit tha way it sounded, and it sounds
good too. Here comes tha 2nd verse here, soundin' REAL NICE to a start! Luv tha
voice here, just STR8 UP BR attributes in tha style!! When I listen ta music,
ESPECIALLY new artists, knowin' that people are from BR iz such a FUCKIN'
BLE$$IN'!! Definitely a great verse there; liked tha "Playstation"
line. Lookin' forward to tha 3rd verse!! Tha 3rd verse iz soundin' great,
nearly like tha 2nd verse! Wow, it got gangsta towards tha 3:10 area around!!
Tha "blood" and shit was nice; he did his thang on this shit! Interesting
lil' conversation part before tha hook again. My Rating: 4.3
13. "Chirp Abuse (Radio)" Feat. Spaide R.I.P.P.E.R.
LOL, no wonder why "dirty" was in "()" before... I thought
that was random. Glad you have tha radio edit on here just in case I can use it
for my radio shift at my college (maybe) coming Fall 2009! I'm HOPIN' to make
it happen 'cause I need audio Practicum hours for my Practicum schedule! I'm
tryna have an underground Louisiana
radio shift at my college next semester. Hope it works out 'cause those audio
Practicum hours are a bitch when I ain't doin' a radio shift! See #10 fa tha
review!
14. "How They Want It (Radio)" Feat. Bobby T & Big Head
LOL, anotha one? Glad ta have tha radio edit; collectin' radio edits fa my
radio shift (can only play clean versions unfortunately on there)! See #4 fa
tha review!
Overall: LOL, it almost ended at 2:25 PM; just a minute off (2:26 PM).
Anyway, DEFINITELY sum TIGHT SHIT here!!! I'm SO FUCKIN' glad ta see Sims on
here 3 WHOPPING times, as well as appearances from Q-Red, B-Real, Mouse; dem
names I be namin' when it comes ta producers I luv! Baton Rouge be tha shit!!! This CD qualified
ta be on my iPod 'cause it was just SO GOOD, and I'm REAL GLAD I got ta hear
this (finally) from you!!! Thanx again fa hittin' me up for me ta do tha
review!!
