Review #1,796: King Sav "Mobb God"

Reviewed on 1.22.2019 (Review #1,796)


For this next review, I wanna give a special Happy Birthday shout out ta this good dude! Representin’ #80sBabiesInOur30s, here goes my review for King Sav Mobb God, released last year on Solo Mafia Enterprises! Happy Birthday, once again!! Had to show ya luv by buyin’ this off of iTunes so you get da bread…! Start Time: 8:11 PM | End Time: 9:03 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!

© 2019 CD Review (Review #1,796) reviewed on 1.22.2019 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. A Mobb Prayer
>>> Sounds nice for an intro, with, like, a Sade-sampled background, as well as a laidback mobb vibe… Nice lil’ “prayer” ta introduce this CD off; leggo…! My Rating: N/A


02. “Vito”
>>> Sounds like a lil’ bit of a laidback lil’ hip-hop vibe, here… You sound a lil’ different on tha voice, but still have tha same flow, here on tha 1st verse… Not too bad for a start; decent rhymes but tha life of a mobb… Oh, so no hook, straight rappin’? Not bad for a choice; almost like an intro track, afta da prayer… Saved a lil’ hook fa tha near-end, here… Kinda likin’ tha singin’ blend; keep representin’… My Rating: 3.5


03. “Say About Ya” feat. Q KIMBLE
>>> A female sample in tha beginning of this slow beat start…; not too bad wit tha beat, here… Hearin’ you on tha verse and it sounds good wit your rappin’. I’m still a lil’ surprised wit tha voice change, as you continue ta grow… Tha hook sounds good; key code: “muthafuck what they say about ya!” My Rating: 3.7


04. “Big Mobb”
>>> A lil’ mo interestin’ wit tha southern “tight” vibe, wit tha beat… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it sounds like you got this “mobb” shit on lock; keep bein’ da bo$$! Tha hook sounds pretty good, too; just a regular hook fa anotha “mobb” like you… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, as you try and “get [‘em] canceled, like a plan B;” dumb shit! Got a lil’ minute-ending cool vibe, here, wit how you rap this verse; nice shit… “Out da swamp, I letchu gator me;” you know! My Rating: 3.9


05. “Get Ya Money”
>>> Despite tha title, I’m feelin’ tha really southern vibe in this organtastic beat… I usually don’t fuck wit these kindza “money” tracks but I thank you got this one, with a taste of tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good; “I cook beef like a Philly steak…!” Yeah, I give you props wit tha hook; you pass tha test! You nowhere-near fake; you got da trust on lock! Hearin’ da 2nd verse and it’s pretty nice wit how you got this flow on lock; definitely catchy… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3rd verse and you keepin’ it goin’; nice job, as always… Likin’ tha lil’ instrument at tha end, too, in its solo perspective, like Solo Mafia, lol… My Rating: 4.0


06. “Lay Low”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ slow track… Anotha nice hook, too; sounds like a quality mission, in mp3 format… Yeah, with err-thang goin’ on wit me, right nah, I been layin’ “low,” a lot mo…; I feel like I know what’s right, now-a-dayz. Definitely a nice mantra on tha hook, right here! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and you rappin’ at a moderate speed, here, soundin’ pretty nice; good shit… Hearin’ da 2nd verse and yeah, Sav, I almost thought I was gon hit, “100 grand;” I felt it, as I was at about 20! Then, tha snitchin’ came, smh!! Lots of rhymes; real-fast flowin’ but definitely good shit…! My Rating: 4.1


07. “You Need A Me”
>>> Sounds like you samplin’ Tyrese or somethin’ in tha beginning, here; sounds like a good slow track… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it ain’t bad; nice, laidback shit ta have a nice shmoke to… Gotta luv that your lyrics can make tha underdogs look at you like you can achieve anythang; good/mobb shit! Tha hook pretty catchy; definitely feelin’ tha 2nd ½ wit this “A Me” shit! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse and yeah, mo shit fa tha underdog’s “future;” keep achievin’! Yup, “Been through tha fake to see da real…;” sucks enterin’ dat path of “fake!” Like how you had Tyrese’s sample echo at tha end, too, fa a nice, cold ending; cold, Sav! My Rating: 3.8


08. “All Me” feat. Calliope Var
>>> Sounds like some mo quality, slow music, but mo in a street way than fa da ladies… Hearin’ da hook and it’s pretty nice; let’s see how da verses do… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it sounds like you rappin’ as fast as I’m typin’, here; good/yada-yada, ta “me…” Like how you deliver tha line, “I hold dis bitch down…,” on da hook; nice and laidback… Keepin’ it goin’ wit da 5-0-4 on tha 2nd verse, here (Calliope) and he sound good ta make a lil’ collab wit… Not too bad wit his verse; good contribution… My Rating: 3.8


½time: Sounds like a quality-soundin’ CD fa da underdogs. I know I felt some of your previous music a lil’ betta but this still has those good vibes… A 3.8-rated CD, currently; how will da 2nd ½ go…?


09. “Top Down”
>>> Sounds like you tryna break out dat feelin’ good-soundin’ singin’… I agree wit tha hook, even tho it’ll seem like a while before I feel da “Top Down” vibe, wit err-thang goin’ on… You know how these long winters go, up here in wack-ass PA… Hearin’ you on da 1st verse and it sounds like a regular, smooth-sailin’ vibe… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, and I can’t wait ta have some new “jewelz blangin’!” I thought it woulda been this week, if everythang went over tha right way, smh… Not bad for a verse, overall; a feel-good Savage mind! My Rating: 3.9


10. “Like El Jefe”
>>> Sounds like a mix of your southern production & when Spanish music comes to strike; let’s see how dis go… Sounds like you tryna make a new-soundin’ anthem on tha hook, here; I dig it… Lol, did you blend your voice ta sound even deeper fa dis latin vibe, on da 1st verse? Your rhymes are kinda yada-yada-soundin’ but that don’t stop it from still soundin’ good/with quality… Hearin’ what you got on da 2nd verse and you sound nice and deep, still; good shit… Mucho caliente in Louisiana, Sav, or iz it more frio, now? I woulda came to Louisiana this week and it’s only in tha 50’s! Not tha caliente vibe I was expectin’, lol… My Rating: 4.2


11. “Private Soiree” feat. Tre Louis
>>> Overlappin’ voice, here, in tha intro; glad y’all bringin’ “da papers!” A laidback, R&B-type vibe but soundin’ good wit you on tha 1st verse, here… Sounds good wit this hook and this “Soiree;” nice, Sav! Good fa mo laidback, relaxin’ vibes, with quality… Tre Louis on tha 2nd verse, here, and I thought he was gon be a singer like tha other Tre (Virdure); good contribution, here… My Rating: 3.7


12. “The World Is Yours” feat. Tre Virdure
You got “world” spelled wrong on iTunes, here (“wolrd”)… >>> A lil’ intro, wit a soul-type sample in tha beat goin’ on, here… Yup, you said it on tha start to tha 1st verse: “An ‘80s baby…” #80sBabiesInOur30s, Sav! Not too bad wit tha 1st verse, here… I know I wasn’t tha biggest fan of Tre & I thank this continues that streak… I liked some of tha other singin’ vibes betta than his strong contribution, here… It’s not really fa me but good advice about tha “resume [havin’] real stripes…” Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse and it ain’t bad, here, continuin’ ta hold it down… Endin’ it wit a lil’ bit of a singin’ ending yourself, Sav; I don’t have anythang ta say, lol… My Rating: 3.2


13. “Swang Down” feat. Dee Day
>>> Anotha slow vibe; let’s see how this one go… Kickin’ it off wit tha 1st verse: “Dick hang low,” and tha “nuts hit tha flo…,” and all dat; mobb shit fa a Sav… Just regular-soundin’ rhymes throughout tha 1st verse, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it ain’t bad; prolly coulda sounded betta? Maybe, screw-and-chop da voice or somethin’? Don’t thank I heard this featured dude on tha 2nd verse, before; almost thought he was a Latin artist, with how he came into tha verse… Overall, a decent track, pretty much… My Rating: 3.6


14. “Loyal”
>>> A slow vibe wit this one, right chea… Sounds like a good lil’ slow track fa da ladies; likin’ tha lil’ female voice bein’ sampled, quietly… Hearin’ what you got goin’ on wit tha 1st verse, here, and lol @ “these other hoes leftovers…;” all about dem “leftovers!” Yeah, “roll dat gas,” when it come ta da clock bein’ “3 AM!” I feel dat! I luv wakin’ up and eatin’ edibles before breakfast, when it comes to an interestin’ day (e.g., 20 dayz ago, I woke up around 3:45 AM & I ate one at 4:20 AM; go figure)! Hearin’ what you got goin’ on wit tha 2nd verse and it ain’t bad; keep it goin’… My Rating: 3.8


15. “Right There”
>>> Now, a male voice bein’ sampled in tha background of this; let’s see how this one go… Tha 1st verse from you sounds good, as you’re supplyin’ tha vibe fa da ladies, once again. Tha hook sounds catchy; sounds like I can appreciate it more, in a way. I like how tha keys in tha beat sound on every 4th bar; *dinn-dinn-dinn-dinn, dinn…* Hearin’ what you got goin’ on wit tha 2nd verse and it sound good; not much ta say but props… Yeah, I’m diggin’ tha outro: “I ain’t miss a 1st day of class…” It’s kinda like with work: Almost five years in and I neva called off, neva been late; you know how dat go! My Rating: 3.8


16. “Motivation” feat. Ms. Darla
>>> Mo laidback vibes, here; let’s see how this collab go… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s regular-soundin’ rhymes, ta me; keep da hustle up… Singin’ on tha hook, here, as you’re absorbin’ tha “Motivation;” I feel dat! Same thang wit me; I feel tha “Motivation” fa a bigger Frankie, in tha future (I’m feelin’ it now)! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse and it ain’t bad, once again; mo Sav rhymes for da Sav spines (I randomly came up wit dat: those “spines” that appreciate your music)… As far as tha featured chick, guess she’s just singin’ in tha background, quietly? Likin’ tha quiet feature, for a female… My Rating: 3.6


17. “Hard Times” feat. Keezy Off 38th & G.L.O.
>>> Kinda sound like old music bein’ sampled, here… Not really my cup of tea wit this G.L.O. on tha hook; prolly coulda had it like tha last song, wit tha background secret… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Keezy and he sound good on this. Not tha kinda track I’d feel that much but Keezy gives it a motivatin’ boost, in a way… Here you come on tha 2nd verse, here, “Tryna keep [your] record clean;” I feel dat! As soon as my shit happened, I remained calm and was like, “I have tha motivation, determination, perseverance & confidence!” Good lil’ verse; okay track, at times, but not my kinda hook. I know I’m dealin’ wit tha “Hard Times,” but best know that just ‘cause I’m dealin’ with it, don’t mean I like it! My Rating: 3.3


Overall: Most of tha tracks were a lil’ below tha loving 4.0 range, but for tha most part, you put out anotha quality-soundin’ CD. This tha more laidback, gotta-shmoke-everyday Sav, here. Thumbs up fa keepin’ it goin’ and don’t stop this music shit!

Review #1,600: Level "Penetrate: The Sextape"

Reviewed on 11.30.2016 (Review #1,600)


Hittin’ my 1,600th review right nah! Hit my 1,500th review back on June 7th; not bad for my work schedule! Up now, we got Level Penetrate: The Sextape, released not too long ago but before tha Club Banga King 3 that he released, on Mayham Entertainment… Start Time: 3:07 PM | End Time: 4:03 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.

© 2016 CD Review (Review #1,600) reviewed on 11.30.2016 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Intro
>>> Lady sounds hilarious, especially since I’m startin’ this review at my enemy’s birthday time. My enemy always makes stupid double entendre references at my job (“small ball guy was on;” “big ball guy was on;” “messy dude was on”)! My Rating: N/A


02. “Anywhere” feat. Sayyo Feek & Mystikal
>>> Remakin’ tha ‘90s 112 song, here, between tha beat and tha hook… Not bad; a good effort for a Rodnae/Beats How U Want ‘Em beat… You on tha 1st verse and it’s good; not much ta say… And, gotta luv how Mystikal comes through wit his energy! He, like, tha prerequisite version of you, Lev! My Rating: 3.7


03. “Sexy Lady” feat. Virdure
>>> Koon doin’ tha beat… Hearin’ and seein’ tha title, I’m thinkin’, iz this CD gon be, like, a ‘90s remake set? Reminds me of Tyrese or somethin’ on tha hook, here…; ehh… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it decent… You holdin’ this vibe down but this vibe ain’t tha greatest, in my opinion… And, tha 2nd verse okay but why tha long outro? My Rating: 3.3


04. “Headboard” feat. Pokey
>>> Beat Flippa beat, this time… Outta tha three R&Bish beats, this sounds like it tha best one… A good vibe on tha hook, here; let’s see how this go… You on tha 1st verse, holdin’ it down like a boss… And, tha 2nd verse sounds catchy wit how you come through “from tha front” and how you come through “from tha back.” My Rating: 3.8


05. “Slow & Steady”
>>> Not too crazy about this whole “slow” vibe… Some of it’s aight, but I ain’t gon go crazy ova it… Decent 1st verse from you but boring, mainstream-soundin’ beat… Tha 2nd verse soundin’ like you givin’ out “dick” for free or somethin’, here… My Rating: 3.4


06. “Pussy On You” feat. Lady Kym
>>> Kinda silly and kinda ehh on tha sound, here, between tha hook and calm beat… Tha 1st verse’s pretty nice, here, from you, just layin’ bidness down… Kym layin’ down some bidness fa you on tha 2nd verse, here, as well… And, you got a 3rd verse, here, Lev, holdin’ it down… My Rating: 3.5


07. “U Kno What I Like” feat. Rob Taylor
>>> Q-Red beat… Beat ain’t too bad fa a laidback, slow vibe, as well as tha hook… You ain’t bad on this track but that singer makes shit boring, at times… I understand you’re tryna set tha consistent vibe with these R&B/rap tracks, but I’m just lettin’ you know that I’m not crazy about these kinda tracks… My Rating: 3.3


½time: Not really my kinda shit, overall, but it happens… Nothin’s wack, but nothin’s hot; all are decent… A 3.5-rated CD with tha highest rating only bein’ a 3.8!!


08. “Ackin’ Like U Scared” feat. Virdure
>>> I hate how all these slow jamz be havin’ beat tags! It’s like, what are they tryna prove? No tightness, whatsoeva!! Still, this decent with tha hook and how you comin’ through wit it… My Rating: 3.4


09. “Put One In Ya” feat. Tucka
>>> Q-Red beat, with a baby cryin’ in tha beginning… Decent hook; nice lil’ slow beat… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and, as always, you layin’ it down… And, Tucka on tha 2nd verse… Ehh @ tha rappin’… They should just stick to singin’ ‘cause their rappin’ don’t spark me, in any way… It’s just filler material… My Rating: 3.6


10. “Say My Name” feat. Cupid
>>> Mouse doin’ a beat, here; let’s see how he does… I’m definitely feelin’ tha beat intro fa a slow track, so let’s see if it can pull through… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s aight; Cupid’s Cupid… Cupid on tha 1st verse ain’t too bad, here; nothin’ wack but nothin’ special… Mouse makes me like Cupid a lil’ more wit this one… Here you are on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some okay shit… My Rating: 3.7


11. “Higher” feat. Detroit & Latangela Fay
>>> Beat’s ehh… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s ehh, too… Fuck tha rest of this; nothin’ special… My Rating: 2.5


12. “Early In Da Morning” feat. Tyree Neal
>>> Sounds like a pop/R&B vibe in tha beat, here… Hook’s whateva; you ain’t bad, here… I’ono, but tha singer features shouldn’t have verses; it just drags… My Rating: 2.6


13. “Me & You”
>>> Q-Red… Way too much like an unoriginal R&B vibe, here… Okay rhymes from you, here, but this whole entire CD’s vibe’s borin’ me… My Rating: 2.4


14. “How You Want It”
>>> Anotha one from Mr. Red… Again, on tha boring tip; bad voice effects on tha 1st verse, this time! That’s where tha wack vibes come in! My Rating: 1.7


15. “Sex Me”
>>> Endin’ it with a G-Motivation beat… Hook ain’t too bad with tha female singin’, as well as your rappin’… I don’t have anything else ta say; just waitin’ for this to end… My Rating: 2.8


Overall: I love how I started tha review at my enemy’s birthday time and there wasn’t ONE 4.0 or higher rating! With that bein’ said, this for tha R&B heads, not for me…


Rankings:

14.       “How You Want It” 1.7

Review #1,433: King Sav "Pressure Makes Diamonds"

Reviewed on 2.11.2015 (Review #1,433)


Frankie here, ‘bout ta review King Sav Pressure Makes Diamonds, from Solo Mafia Enterprises. Now, I really shouldn’t be reviewin’ this right now ‘cause this wasn’t sent to me on time (like, really, 11 months old and I wasn’t given this?!), and I was randomly unfollowed, but because I’m a Shift Leader at my job, I’m goin’ to review it! Hell, I aint even know what tha name of this CD was; I had to go through Louisiana native, Tony Tumacs Facebook pics to figure it out; really? Now, for those of y’all that don’t know, King Sav = Sav Sinatra = Savage, from Baton Rouge. Sav & I go way back to 2008, back when my reviewz first caught his attention. We had been cool for a while, despite me not really havin’ any real-life experiences. Then, when my Louisiana connection started takin’ a turn for tha worse around 2013, I would come off all bitchy about how people weren’t treatin’ me right; Savage wasn’t havin’ my bitchin’. On March 14, 2014, I got tha call at 1:15 PM that I was gettin’ ready to be interviewed for a full-time job. I let Savage know, “I just got a full-time job! I’ll be workin’ all tha time, so you may not hear from me that much, let alone, let’s see how long it takes for me to start bitchin’ again!” With work on my mind, I rarely have any free time to do any hobbies, such as review, or whateva. And, I was startin’ to see true value of people, thanx to my job. Tha people at my job would find my number, get a hold of me and give me hours to help my pay. However, Louisiana people would never send me CDs when they’d come out, nor would they chip on for my mixtape compilations (a lousy $20 to get a spot on my Louisiana mixtapes that would be released every 90 dayz; I had to stop right when I got my job, due to people were lackin’ sendin’ me shit). Sav wound up fallin’ into this mess, as when this CD came out, I wasn’t even notified that it was out, nor was it even sent to me! It’s like, I guess I’m a fart in tha wind / such an acquaintance, despite me spendin’ hours and hours and years promotin’ Savage for a long minute, now?! Not only that, I randomly got unfollowed from Twitter & Instagram; what tha fuck did I do? Just ‘cause I work so much? Fuckin’ get over it! I can’t be havin’ someone who ain’t checkin’ shit I do for ‘em (outside of tha reviewz, such as videoz) all on my Instagram and shit. Not only that, I had a birthday shout out, a record label discover me, and more; I’d send it to Sav and he wouldn’t even acknowledge it; what tha fuck did I do?! I’ve grown up a whole lot since fuckin’ one year ago! It sux ‘cause, I guess bitchin’ Frankie’s better than grown-up Frankie? It sux that Sav ain’t payin’ attention to this new Frankie! But, oh well; Sav’s loss! So, now that a record label’s behind me, I can’t help Savage out? Like, they want me to write articles about new music, not shit that’s 11 months old like this that’s not even sent to me tha day it comes out (let alone, a fuckin’ week, to extend things)! Sux that you’re missing out… Once again, I shouldn’t even be reviewin’ this, especially that I have a continuous schedule that neva ends with working full-time, but because I’m a Shift Leader, I must still put in that dedication! So, here it goes, straight up my ass! Get ready for tha gritty review, Sav; I know you like ‘em!! Oh, and even though I like tha colors and all that on tha back cover, I’m not diggin’ tha money feature. Like, how many times do rappers gotta flash money in they pics? Anyway, all tracks are produced by you, with additional keys by AK LeDay on #15 & 16. Start Time: 6:43 PM | End Time: 7:32 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Smoke D Live From The Pen
>>> Nice beat in tha background and lil’ check-in, here… I gotta get in my I-love-Louisiana zone, once again; been a while… My Rating: N/A


02. “Pressure Makes Diamonds” feat. Tre Virdure
Don’t think I gon anticipate tha feature… >>> Sounds good for a start, between tha laidback back and you on tha 1st verse… Hearin’ that you had it tough wit “last year,” as well (2013, since this was 2014?)? I had tha same thing; B-Real’s lack of treatin’ me important made me really hate myself… Tha 1st verse, or should I say tha only verse, was okay, and tha lil’ part from Tre was decent, as well; exactly what I expected, though a lil’ better… My Rating: 3.7


03. “Play It How It Go (Remix)” feat. Lil’ Boosie, Lil’ Phat & Lee Bank$
Not anticipatin’ tha feature, though I know it gon be good… Also, I’m thinkin’, “Lil’ Boosie?” Then again, I forgot, I’m never sent music on time, knowin’ that he already changed his name to “Boosie Badazz” by now and that this shit’s old as fuck! >>> Tha shit I like, here, as far as tha tempo and sounds… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it sounds great, still! Too bad this kinda shit’ll neva be on my iPod, anymore, prolly, due to tha uncalled-for unfollowin’, without permission! Tha hook still soundin’ good; remember it from a while ago, surprisingly… Boring Boosie on tha 2nd verse, here… As always, great energy, rhymes & always keepin’ it street… Phat on tha 3rd verse, here, almost here for attention (due to he not alive, anymore)… Don’t really agree that tha dead should be resurrected; they should just R.I.P., with a bold “P,” like, peace! Good verse, regardless—½-verse… Here’s Banks on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse…; nice, consistent rhymes, and he literally predicted how you’d turn out, Sav: “No retweets;” yeah, you don’t retweet or respond, anymore! It’s too bad… My Rating: 4.3


04. “I’mna Mane” feat. Racked-Up Ready
>>> Hearin’ you on tha intro / hook and it sounds like it’s almost ghostwritten as a Ready track; nice beat and hook. I’m likin’ tha “Imna,” as you always tend to make up combo words (e.g., “pussazz”). For those readin’, “I’mna” = I’m + tha… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it sounds good to hear… Here’s Ready on tha 2nd verse and smh, on his birthday, I found out he unfollowed me from Twitter, too; talk about a total, “Fuck you?” Anotha reason why I’m glad to have fallen off! Wasn’t meant for this shit at all! Anyway, it’s blah, blah, blah, here, so it’s whateva, though it sounds nice on a Savage track; I’ll leave it at that… And, a 3rd verse from Sav, soundin’ good, as well… My Rating: 4.2


05. “Money Whipped”
Ewe, lol, lol, lol, lol; no comment! I’m just gonna copy/paste my review from my 16th mixtape compilation that I featured this one, right before my mixtape compilations went bankrupt and I had to let ‘em go! Oh yeah, also, this was back when I was addin’ underground, Louisiana rap to my playlists; holy, TBT, even though it’s Wednesday? Gotta blame B-Real for blocking me on February 5, 2014; I haven’t added one Louisiana song from tha undaground since he blocked me! Not one fuckin’ person got him to unblock me, and my Louisiana passion’s basically destroyed because of it! It really sux for y’all ‘cause I fuck wit all these hot chicks from my job, and not one Louisiana song from tha undaground’s been on my playlist! Only thang they’ll get outta me iz Kevin Gates, especially since Gates’ tha reason why a label’s behind me. I now have a full-time job because of B-Real blocking me, too, seein’ tha true value of people, as well, who aren’t fuckin’ afraid of relyin’ a fuckin’ message to someone! It’s like, these fuckin’ rappers carry guns and are quick to shoot / run they mouth, but when it’s relyin’ a message to B-Real about reconnectin’ and unblockin’ me, they afraid; total fakeness? SMH! Anyway, that review: Samples SWV’s “Weak” on tha hook… Sav can pull this off and it sounds good. Nice slow/semi-upbeat vibe for tha ladies! My Current Rating: 4.0


06. “Po Up My Drank” feat. Lil’ Keke
I bet this one gon be great, as well, but just like tha way I’m completely degraded, this gon go in one ear and out tha other, on this review! It’s like it’s for this review only! >>> Sounds g…o…o…d… Might’ve heard it before? Don’t think so ‘cause I’ve neva seen this collaboration happen, before? I don’t remember, but I’m diggin’ tha po’in’ and tha hook! Tha 1st verse sounds nice ta hear; all good to get fucked up! Closest I’ve gotten to pure fuckedness was just a month ago, when I tried a weed cookie; talk about buggin’ out in my sleep! I had to do 360’s with my head, every minute during tha 2 AM hour! Crazy! Now, I can see what y’all be like, even though y’all shit makes y’all more relaxed… Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too, strictly gettin’ fucked up… Hearin’ Keke on tha 3rd verse, here, and it sounds good… A lil’ short, but it was nice to have him on tha feature… Hearin’ tha screwed-kinda outro hook, here… Sounds nice, and iz similar to Propain & Rich Homie Quan’s “2 Rounds,” which was released right around tha same time… My Rating: 4.3


07. “Mobb Life Crazy”
>>> Even though I’m not big about voice effects, I do like how this beat sounds, as well as how you sound on tha hook! Tha 1st verse sounds good; surprisingly, this iz my best listen for this CD, so far… I know, tha most awkward happens… Tha 2nd verse sounds good ta hear, too; nice lil’ jam, once again! Tha 3rd verse’s pretty nice to hear, too! Keep it goin’! My Rating: 4.5


08. Interlude
>>> Why this dude bein’ secret about bein’ “in prison?” Nice lil’ “interlude.” My Rating: N/A


½time: Sounds pretty good, so far; diggin’ tha jamz… Currently, a 4.2 for tha CD rating.


09. “A Better Plan”
“A” contradicting title? If you had “a better plan,” you wouldn’t’ve unfollowed me from Twitter & Instagram outta nowhere, as well as ignore me, too! Don’t you know that shit’s called a no call, no show and it gets you FIRED!!! >>> I’m diggin’ tha beat, once again; hook sounds good, though you need to “come up with a better plan,” yourself, Sav! No need for us to be ignoring each other! Boosie outta jail; don’t let that be tha fall! Nice 1st verse, but will you follow your own notes fa 2015? Off to a bad start, as far as showin’ me luv, so maybe, this review’ll be a wake-up call fa you! Thought this would have multiple verses in it, but it’s basically a straight-through, single verse. Either way, tha beat made things sound betta than I thought they would… My Rating: 3.8


10. Conjugal Visit Interlude
>>> Sounds good ta hear this intermission, once again—oh wait, neva mind, scratch out tha “countin’ bread” shit; boring! My Rating: N/A


11. “Pimpin’ Baby”
>>> Sounds nice for a laidback vibe, with tha beat… Tha 1st verse sounds good, too… Hearin’ tha hook and your singin’ sounds nice for this laidback, southern vibe… Tha 2nd verse sounds nice, too, flowin’ nicely on tha beat… Tha 3rd verse’s pretty nice, too; a nice track, overall, with this laidbackness… My Rating: 4.0


12. “Comin’ Down” feat. Cory Mo
>>> Diggin’ tha laidbackness, once again, includin’ how you sound slower on tha flow than on tha previous song… This sounds a lil’ betta fa me; diggin’ how you singin’ this hook, too. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and there’s quite a bit of places you shoutin’ out, here… It’s like, when you makin’ it up to where I’m at? Eight years had passed since my Louisiana connection started; what’s takin’ err-body so long? Hearin’ Cory Mo on tha 2nd verse and it’s only aight fa me; liked tha Keke feature better. Not to mention, he was braggin’ about “countin’ money” or somethin’; that’s baggage for tha rap game! When will it end? Anyway, on to tha 3rd verse, here, with you “comin’ down” a lot, Sav; nice to hear… My Rating: 4.1


13. “I Want A Range” feat. Kevin Gates, Percy Keith & Spitta
I knew this was comin’… Asked you in 2013, “Do you got Percy Keith’s #?,” and you were like, “Nah.” Now, a collaboration; that was pretty quick! Only took a few months? Bet you got tha number now, but you done changed; you prolly would ignore me if I asked you for it! It’s like, this iz why tha music business ain’t meant fa me. While I’m at work, I don’t have to go through a fuckin’ wild goose chase to get a co-worker’s #; it’s available for me. This shit with B-Real not havin’ a number available’s tha most unprofessional thing ever!! And, goin’ back to thinkin’ you wouldn’t give me Percy Keith’s #, it’s like, it goes to show you how degraded, shitty, and uncalled-for I am, in this music business. I’m just an annoying piece of shit! I just luv bein’ degraded, non-stop! Meanwhile, I spent years and years promotin’ all y’all when I could’ve been workin’, makin’ money, like y’all do! Glad I do that now! Anyway, anticipatin’ feature, but I can bet you anything, hearin’ this gon be like a diabetic’s sugar level goin’ to 1,400! It gon be a guilty pleasure, and after this review, I gon forget what I just listened to! You know what that means: Time ta smoke wit my 47-year-old chick I work with, instead! >>> Sounds nice with tha instant start and Gates on tha intro. How you still get in touch wit Gates? I thought he blew up and with all these cocky-ass peeps changin’ their numbers, how come he ain’t play phone games witchu? No wonder why I don’t belong in this business! You’re on tha 1st verse and it sounds pretty good to hear. A lil’ less-aggressive on tha delivery than Gates, but it still sounds nice… LOL, I feel like it’s 2009 or somethin’ when I hear this, when I used to suck every Louisiana rapper’s dick (not literally) by tryna support them, and I faiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiled terribly!! What a waste of time, and I have a lotta old reviewz ta do, when I can! Here’s Percy Keith on tha 2nd verse and almost sounds like a Wayne / Young Money-type person, here… Nice to hear, but let’s just leave it at that! Dude don’t know how to respond on Twitter, and he unfollows! WTF wit all tha fake-ass unfollowin’?! Like, too bad I grind! Ugh, felt like I just chowed down 50 pounds of granulated sugar and died of complications from diabeties, lol!! Spitta on tha 3rd verse, here… Kinda on an okay level, but all tha cocky braggin’ about “money” and how others ain’t gettin’ it in right’s a turn-off fa me… Wrappin’ tha review fa this joint up, and I feel like this more on a mainstream-produced level fa tha streetz than a Baton Rouge-soundin’ level, so it ain’t gon get a spectacular rating from me… My Rating: 4.3


14. “That’s My Bitch”
That moment when your “bitch” iz more important than I’ll ever be, smh! >>> I’m really likin’ this production, here, and I’m diggin’ how you singin’ on tha hook; betta than I expected, here… Tha 1st verse sounds good, too; diggin’ how you comin’ through on tha track… Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty nice, too; diggin’ how you comin’ through on this verse, as well… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse, and it sounds nice on this beat, regardless of everything in value you try and spit about… My Rating: 4.2


15. “Life” feat. Max Minelli
>>> Definitely diggin’ tha organ sounds on tha beat; props ta your family member on those additional keys! Nice hook with your singin’; sounds risky to sing, but you can pull it off… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good to hear. Yeah, I’m sick of this “competition” err-body tryna pull off. Why can’t people just grind without bein’ cocky about tha next nigga? Hearin’ Max on tha 2nd verse and it sounds good to hear him collab witchu, once again; not cocky, here, and tha “before you take my nuts” line was pretty nice to hear. And, a 3rd verse, here…; this verse sounds good, too… My Rating: 4.1


16. “Long Way”
>>> Sounds like Goapele “Closer” during tha beat and sample—I’m right! Usually, your ending songs are depressing and boring for me, but this sounds much better for an ending song! Definitely diggin’ your singin’ on tha hook and tha way you flip tha sample / beat sounds real nice to hear! Tha 1st verse’s nice, too; props fa hangin’ in there…, kinda… Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too, with a bunch of rappin’, here… My Rating: 4.0


Overall: I thought this was anotha nice CD, though it sucks that it wasn’t sent to me, and I had to go find it, a year later… It’s like, what happened to tha dayz when The Movement: History In The Making came out? Like, you mailed me it in tha mail when it came out! Now, Louisiana’s so boring and stuck up; why? You know that when I drop my 2nd album, I’m mailin’ it to people! Anyway, keep grindin’, but grind to tha point where you put me as a priority! It gon go in one ear and out tha other if I’m not treated as important! Half of y’all wouldn’t be where y’all’d be if it wasn’t for me! I know you won’t check out this review, retweet it, and respond to it, but I needed to get a point across, since I’m a Shift Leader! You better appreciate this ‘cause these reviewz aren’t gettin’ put out there like they used to be! It’s all about tha value and appreciation of my work, not for it to go to waste!!

Review #1,251: X-Fyle Presents "Neighborhood Track Dealer Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 1.31.2013 (Review #1,251)


My next review for today iz X-Fyle Presents Neighborhood Track Dealer Vol. 1! Start Time: 9:52 PM | End Time: 10:15 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!

© 2013 CD Review (Review #1,251) reviewed on 1.31.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Kevin Gates “Sinatra”
My Current Rating: 3.6


02. X-Fyle Feat. Master P, Romeo & The Louie V Mobb “Smoke, Drank & Cut”
You know he just “Romeo” now, right, Mr. X-Fyle? >>> Sounds good wit tha title, but no way am I into tha hook!! Can’t even tell anyone’s voices; not for me, despite me likin’ tha title! My Rating: 1.4


03. X-Fyle Feat. Coppertop “Hell Of A Night”
>>> What’s this gay beginning? Aren’t I listenin’ to rappers, not singers? Not really for me; tha 2nd verse iz barely okay… My Rating: 1.2


04. Birdman “Nightclub”
Not in tha DatPiff folder… >>> Why this mainstream shit fa this compilation? I understand you produced it, but keep it undaground! Now, that’s “100!” Oh yea, no a-tune for me! My Rating: 1.0


05. Birdman Feat. Mack Maine & Drake “You Too Fine”
Why? >>> Really long intro wit tha hook, although it’s tha catchiest hook outta tha five songs, so far. Not too bad, but I don’t need to hear this pop shit on an undaground producer’s mixtape! My Rating: 3.2


06. X-Fyle Feat. Down Bad “MollyWhopped”
Forgot how it went… >>> Once again, cool beat; a great song to get fucked up to… My Current Rating: 4.3


07. X-Fyle Feat. Mookie Blakk “We Be Dummy”
That’s two “K”s in his name! BTW, I think this iz an ’09 joint Mookie sent me that was just called “Dummy”, at tha time? Lemme see… >>> This doesn’t sound like it, despite me neva gettin’ ta hear dat joint except tha beginning beat… Then again, that was just Mookie, not X-Fyle featuring Mookie… This sounds like a cool, “dummy”-type joint, as always; can’t complain… Mookie sounds cool when it comes to tha rappin’; good job. Hearin’ tha 3rd verse; must be you. You’re, like, voiceless to me; I can neva tell when it’s you on a song unless there’s a distinct voice from tha other artist… Either way, your verse’s a lil’ too mainstream for me! It bothers me to hear anything about “money!” My Rating: 3.7


08. Gyft “People See Me (They Just Don’t Know)”
First new artist on here… >>> Really? 6:25 on tha length wit a beat start like this… Okay, tha sample’s teasin’ me to like this a lil’ bit. Reminds me of anotha beat you produced. I won’t get into that, unless we talk privately ‘cause I don’t wanna put tha thief’s name out there! But, surprisingly, I’m likin’ this a lil’ bit; this rapper iz aight, but it sounds like a good joint, overall. Really long outro, here… My Rating: 4.0


09. X-Fyle Feat. Mouse “Eddie Kane”
>>> Sounds good; automatically, this tha type of shit you can’t deny! Must be you rappin’, here; it sounds good, despite some of tha mainstream-type shit you be sayin’… Tha hook’s pretty catchy; can’t help it when it comes ta a name bein’ tha title! Mouse On Tha Track on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit his entertainin’-ass! My Rating: 3.8


½time: A few songs that were really shitty, but there’s some good/decent shit on here; only a 2.9 for tha CD rating, currently. X-Fyle, it’s time ta cut on tha wack, mainstream shit!


10. Birdman “Money Machine”
Also, not in tha DatPiff folder… >>> No wonder! My Rating: 1.0


11. Mookie Blakk Feat. Sam I Am “Dat Level”
If only I would’ve gotten this CD when it came out. Then, when I uploaded tha radio edit, I could’ve put which CD it came off of. Y’all need to not delay these CDs; c’mon, now! My Current Rating: 4.3


12. X-Fyle “Life & Times”
>>> A calm beat wit some good rhymes. Somethin’ about your samples seem to catch attention. I usually hate ‘em, but this anotha one I’m feelin’. Not bad ta listen ta this; I think this iz tha “times” of tha 1984 babies! It seems like err-body from ’84’s real cool ta deal wit, or I keep dealin’ wit ’84 babies! Dumb shit! My Rating: 3.5


13. Lil’ Boosie & B.G. “Gamez”
>>> Nice beat this time, X! Good lil’ hook wit Boosie talkin’ about people takin’ him as if he was some sorta technology! Hearin’ Gizzle on tha 1st verse, and why iz he so quiet, it sounds like? It’s okay, but too quiet… Boosie’s on tha 2nd verse and he’s quiet, too; increase da vocals, X! But, I’m likin’ all these “gamez” references, such as “Pac-Man!” Tha rest of this iz good…, but quiet! My Rating: 4.4


14. X-Fyle “Flyboyz”
>>> Real nice sounds in tha beginning!! I hope this turns out ta be somethin’ real good… Good job wit tha hook, here; soundin’ nice and “fly!” Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good; why this gotta be 4:31? I like tha long lengths when there’s usually a feature or two… Almost sounds like Max Minelli on tha 2nd verse, but it’s all you? I like tha “kush” line… Despite tha long length, there’s a long beat outro; yea, let dat beat ride out!! My Rating: 4.4


15. X-Fyle Feat. Mouse & Box “Spread My Wings”
LOL! My Current Rating: 4.4


16. X-Fyle Feat. Tank Jones “Let Yourself Go”
>>> No a-tune for me! I’m too old fa dat! I’m 24, X-Fyle!! 20-muthafuckin’-4!! I think I was too old for it when I was 20, 21, too! You were 20, 21 when “Y’all Heard Of Me” started blowin’ up…; no a-tune then! Think, X-Fyle, think! My Rating: 1.0


17. Tre Virdure “Covergirl”
>>> Little would I know that an R&B song would beat a bunch of songs on here. Either way, beat sounds nice for an R&B song, and Tre sounds good, mixin’ it up wit some rap-type topics wit tha “car.” Also, interestin’ vocals durin’ tha verses… My Rating: 3.3


18. X-Fyle Feat. Lil’ Boosie, B.G. & Louisiana Ca$h “Bottom Of The Boot”
>>> Nice beat; great super Louisiana collaboration, here… My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Before I comment, I have ta say, thank God you don’t have tha BR rapper that robbed me outta a ½ stack on here! You produced fa him, and you were smart enough ta not put him on here! That’s a good look, X-Fyle; glad you’re so smart! Anyway, not tha best compilation, but I’ll give you credit for puttin’ some good songs on here.
