Got
two reviewz fa today; tha 1st one iz from 2009: Black 9 “Thug Music Vol. 1”,
representin’ fa tha N.O., here! I believe shortly afta tha passing of Twelve
A’Klok in August 2010, he discovered me; that’s how I found out about him. Start
Time: 10:47 AM | End Time: 11:53
AM
Quick Note: 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.

01.
“I’m Back”
“Back”?
This was tha 1st time I heard of you. >>> Good intro and,
of course, gotta luv dis! Tha New Orleans dialect iz definitely crazy, here! Very consistent wit tha rhymes!! You definitely got shit poppin’ fa err-body,
here, especially tha undaground!! My
Rating: 4.5
02.
“I’ll Do It 2 Ya”
Keepin’
it goin’! >>> Definitely
sounds nice; really sounds like Soulja Slim, here!! What else could I expect
from you otha than some of tha best-soundin’
N.O.-type shit fa tha after-’04 era? A+, here!! My Rating: 4.7
03.
“Category 9” Feat. Aukilya & Dot
This
looks like it gon be hella tight, too! >>> Ooh, definitely feelin’ tha production, here; you got shit on lock in a major way!!! Tha 1st verse definitely has shit on lock wit dis
content and everything goin’ on wit tha lyrics!!! Tha beat’s too hot and everything’s comin’ inta
play, here!! Really feelin’ all tha “bruh” parts, too; crazy-ass shit,
overall!! You holdin’ down tha hook in a huge
way; one of tha best voices out there!!! Tha 2nd verse sounds good
fa tryna ‘get out tha water;’ anotha real
nice verse!! Tha 3rd verse iz on a gangsta tip; nothin’ beats dis
shit!! Definitely one of tha best-soundin’ New Orleans songs in tha past few years!!!
Maybe, I should also say, one of tha best-soundin’
New Orleans CDs in tha past few years, too!!! My Rating: 4.9
04.
“My Niggaz” Feat. Aukilya
Really
lookin’ forward, once again!! This izn’t on tha Amazon tracklisting?
>>> “Neva Eva” beat, here? Wouldn’t’ve expected it but it sounds
just-as-good fa tha N.O., here; Aukilya’s a great
person ta team up wit!! Real nice job wit tha 1st verse, here; what
else could I expect from a tight dude like you?!? Tha 2nd verse must
be Aukilya; A+++!!!!! Nothin’ but a crazy-ass dude from tha hood, here!!!
Tha 3rd verse iz real nice
from you, too! “I smoke a lotta marijuana;” gotta luv what you spittin’,
although, “’cause I see death around tha corner”? Why tha negative thought?
:confused You gon be alive fa a long
time and you know I gon meet you, ya
dig? My Rating: 4.8
05.
“I’ll Do It 2 Ya (Remix)” Feat. Dot & Eternal
Glad there’s features and shit
yea, a remix!! >>> Sounds like some good production, once again; you
got shit on lock wit how you make your jointz sound!! This sounds just-as-good;
might like tha original version a lil’ betta but tha features are still ta
come! Of course, comin’ through wit some of tha hottest street shit on tha 1st
verse; glad you thug so much, dawg!
It’s definitely payin’ off wit dis
music!! Tha 2nd verse iz hella tight wit this street/gangsta shit,
too; likin’ tha “dragon” line! Tha 3rd verse sounds nice, too; I’m
easy to impress when it comes ta this shit, ya heard me? Nice 62-second outro,
too; keep tha talkin’ comin’! My Rating:
4.6
06.
“My City”
Anotha
one not on tha Amazon tracklisting? >>> No wonder, it’s a jacked beat,
too? Both tracklistings have 17 songs; how iz this possible? :confused Even
though this beat’s a lil’ gay, at least your rhymes are good/gangsta, once
again, lol! Tha 3rd hook sounds off-beat, lol? For a jacked-beat
song, this iz a lil’ too long; prolly could’ve been a lil’ shorter… My Rating: 3.7
07.
“Lost Myself”
“My
self” iz really a compound word. >>> I like how dis sounds, especially
since it’s uptempo, a lil’! You got tha hook on lock, here, keepin’ it hot fa
tha “whole damn club!” Gotta luv your “wahhh” shit; nice introduction to tha 2nd
verse, my boy! You gettin’ err-body’s attention, here; keep this shit up!! My Rating: 4.4
08.
“I Survived” Feat. ZooRoo & Tweet
Not
on tha Amazon tracklisting; must be jacked? >>> Oh yes, it iz; good
choice, here! Tha 1st verse sounds pretty consistent wit tha rhymes;
this shit can’t be stopped!! Ooh, tha hook’s definitely more consistent!!! Gotta luv tha “wit tha weed, lil’
nigga” shit, especially all tha amount of things said!! Tha 2nd
verse sounds good, too; this anotha great collaboration dat you got, here! Here
you are on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit some of dat tight-ass
gangsta shit, as always!! My Rating: 4.3
½time: Up to tha ½ point of this
CD, and you’re at a 4.5 for tha CD rating, currently; definite thumbs
up!!!!! It goes ta show you how much dis gangsta shit pay$ off!!!
09.
“Ride Or Die” Feat. Greg
This
looks anticipatin’… >>> Shit yea, feelin’ tha intro wit tha both of
y’all! Ooh, tha “get high” shit in tha hook sounds nice; glad you keepin’ it gangsta at all
times!!! Handin’ out a “questionaire,” huh? That’s what’s up; you are tha answers to all these wack
people!! Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ shit on ‘n’ poppin’, too; lookin’
forward ta hearin’ Greg spit some shit!! Greg sounds a lil’ laidback but I can
feel tha street shit he spittin’, here; thumbs up fa bringin’ him on your CD!
Damn, this dude doesn’t stop wit tha
consistent rhymes!! Great delivery; sounds like he’s answerin’ tha “questionaire” you were talkin’ ‘bout, earlier, lol! My Rating: 4.4
10.
“I Don’t Know” Feat. Eternal & G-Blak
Looks
anticipatin’ wit tha features!! >>> Sounds good and I’m glad it starts wit one of tha features!!
Nice job wit tha 1st verse, representin’, here!! Tha hook iz definitely tha shit, in a way! I feel
exactly how y’all feel about tha “I don’t know” shit, when it comes ta people
“ridin’ fa (y’all)!” You know I hold
err-body down; I can sense who’s bullshittin’, already! Tha 2nd
verse sounds good, too; 504 to tha fullest, here! You’re on tha 3rd
verse and you got some good, real shit, on ‘n’ poppin’!! “Bustin’ bullets like
semen,” lol! Good outro from Eternal, outta nowhere!! My Rating: 4.5
11.
“Road Dawg”
Must
be jacked since it’s not in tha Amazon tracklisting… >>> Doesn’t sound
that jacked ta me; sounds good… Tha rhymes sound good, mainly for your “road dawg;”
interestin’ shit, once again, on a “friend” tip. Overall, catchy song… My Rating: 4.0
12.
“New Orleans”
Feat. Lyrical, K-Slim & Dot
Yes,
features!! >>> Ooh, an original beat tag in tha beginning; sounds like
it could be somethin’ hot!! Damn, what a nice
1st verse; gotta luv dis hot,
504-type shit!!! You’re on tha 2nd verse and yes, it’s soundin’
good; you know how you do!! Tha 3rd verse iz pretty serious, here;
gotta luv who you recruit on tha
track!!! :tu “So fuck wit me, you lookin’ ta die like drunk drivers;” whoa!! My Rating: 4.7
13.
“Grind/Hustle” Feat. Twelve A’Klok
You
know afta I heard this song from you,
for tha 1st time, you know
I took it serious! Gave it a spin on my radio show ASAP and as for tha song,
tha beat’s nice and tha hook’s definitely
tha truth when it comes to tha “grind” and tha “hustle,” ya feel me?! Nice job
wit tha 1st verse and your real-ass shit fa tha streetz! You always hold it down, bruh!! Twelve’s on
tha 2nd verse and you already know wit him; nothin’ but tightness and
consistency!! Gotta luv your 3rd verse; “dope game movin’ slow like
a turtle!” You always come through
wit not only some real tight shit, but you have some catchy lines, too!! :tu
Forgot what I rated this on my 4th mixtape compilation but you know I definitely like this more, now
that I’m in a great mood from this
CD!! My Current Rating: 4.7
14.
“In Dis”
This
iz labeled as “In Dis” on tha Amazon tracklisting; got confused (since it’s
labeled as “DT/UPT”… >>> Gotta like tha Bounce sample for tha start/beat!
“DJ Chicken on tha beat,” lol! Nice job wit tha hook, here; good shit you got!
Tha rhymes sound a lil’ faster than usual; nice, 504-related shit, here! Tha
final verse on this shit sounds really consistent wit tha amount of shit you
deliverin’!! My Rating: 4.3
15.
“Knock Knock”
Anotha
one not on tha Amazon tracklisting? >>> Ooh, I’m likin’ dis one betta!
I like how it’s even faster, too; crazy shit, Bounce style!! Nice and
consistent wit all tha shit goin’ on, here; lol, can’t resist dis crazy shit!!!
LOL, you got me dancin’ in tha middle of this review, lol!!! Glad you refer

alive durin’ this CD, she will be missed, as well as 12! My Rating: 4.7

street-soundin’ shit; nice production and tha hook’s cool, too! Nothin’ but dat
A+ production and tha rhymes are nice, too! I agree wit you “not tryna sound
like him [Soulja Slim];” I like dat your voice
sounds like him but you’re you, ya dig? Tha 2nd verse sounds good
wit how you deliverin’ shit, once again; gotta feel it! Tha 3rd

Glad you liked my review for “Place Yo Betz” when my boy Jimmy the DJ showed you tha review before you died, VL! LOL @ tha “my dick get hard when I gotta punish you niggaz” line; real shit! People are scared ta say their “dick hard” when it’s a non-female subject; fuck ‘em! I’ll prolly be tha 2nd person ta say somethin’, followin’ you, VL! I have it as a disease, but it might be considered regular, ‘cause no one can express actual shit like me! Real nice job on tha 1st verse and tha hook’s pretty serious, too! Definitely a nice subject ta cover, ya dig? Tha 2nd verse’s pretty serious, as well; you know I’m up fa this shit, ya feel me? Tha 3rd verse raw as fuck, too; “lights out, no camera, just action!” A drop from Game at tha end; nice shit! My Rating: 
Guess tha tracklisting’s in order, again? Didn’t think tha previous songs were called what they were called; hope I have ‘em correct on tha ID. Despite anything goin’ on, this sounds like it could’ve been a great mainstream/Music Choice Rap song or somethin’; really likin’ tha production, here! Likin’ tha 2nd verse; sounds like you could’ve “[opened] tha doors” fa many! I feel like once Pimp C died, most Louisiana rappers (excludin’ Wayne & Birdman; they’re not Louisiana anymore) don’t break into tha mainstream, anymore! 
My Rating: 
At least y’all friends in heaven, now! He did tha damn thang on this shit! Here’s tha tribute video I made for 12:
