Slowly
tryna progress through these reviewz till I reach my 2,000th! Right
about now, DJ Jubilee Presents The
Bounce Squad Bouncin’ All Over The World
iz my 1,988th review, released in 2000 on Take Fo Records! Start Tyme: 5:30 PM | End Tyme: 6:35 PM
Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0
– 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!
I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long
as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and
then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a
song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6
rating, I pretty much really love it,
as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I
hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type
before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song;
anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m
listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have
auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money (which I consider
‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!
>>>
Sounds like a good lil’ intro, courtesy of this N’awlinzness…! “I can dig that,
like a shovel”; deep…………………………………………………………………………………………………, lol! My Rating: N/A
02.
“Who They Want?”
>>> Feelin’ tha energy on tha hook & beat, here; definitely luv
how you keep tha “bounce” in your genes, Jubilee! Props fa bringin’ this Bounce
Squad in tha buildin’; S/O to Bigg Ramp on tha hook! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & this must be a “Lil’ Shaggy” dude from The Bounce Squad (Kooly);
definitely feelin’ their shit! They sound a lil’ like a N’awlinz version of
Boosie; keep dat energy up!! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds
pretty nice, courtesy of tha consistent shit fa tha N’awlinz clubz, streetz
& everywhere else! Twerker! Keepin’ this movin’ with a “Lil’ Will” dude on
tha 3rd verse, here (Willie Puckett); just luv tha N’awlinz dialect
& lifestyle! A lil’ outro at tha end almost made me think it was a 4th
verse, with how they emerged into tha track; it’s cool, tho, as Anky just made
an appearance. My Rating: 4.5
03.
“Get Jiggy”
>>> Sounds great with how y’all want err-body ta “Get Jiggy” wit it;
so glad y’all have unstoppable energy! Tha energy neva dies when you keep
contributin’ it right! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty nice
with tha “ah, #1! Ah, #1!” Now, “ah, show dat world! Ah, show dat world!” Oh
boy, iz this tha sequel to “Jubilee All (Stop Pause)”? This can go on fa
237402847248704893482043204928049840932943 seconds & I’d be zoned into
every second of it! Media neva shuts
off, in my ears or mind!! Music been playin’ in my head fa 21 years straight!
That’s 662,688,000 seconds (tha leap year of 2000 doesn’t count as an extra
day, due to it started in tha spring of 2000 fa me)! My brain hittin’ a BILLION, one day! Anyway, this shit iz
unstoppable!! Lmao @ “I luv your man! I luv your man!” What a dance! This tha
2000 “Jubilee All”! My Rating: 4.6
04.
“Tatted Up, Slugged Up, Thugged Out”
>>> What a grimy, clubby, hood hook!! Lol, I luv tha group doin’ tha
voice to tha hook’s chant, dedicated ta those in this title! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it’s soundin’ dope with how this energy & “tatted-up” lifestyle
gets tha people movin’! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & this street/club
shit iz unstoppable! Such a dope vibe fa these streetz; there’s energy! Hearin’
tha 3rd verse & it’s pretty dope with how this southern
lifestyle continues! Gotta keep it movin’! Also, a nice lil’ outro ta end this
shit, too; good shit! My Rating: 4.7
05.
“Show The Globe”
>>> Sounds like anotha good bounce vibe; lol @ tha “globe” as a topic,
here…! Then again, just realized, this “globe” iz an ass! Think: its shape! As tha rest of this continues, tha energy
& call-to-action orders don’t stop! Nothin’ but pureness, courtesy of tha
Jiggy-Jiggy-Jubilee! My Rating: 4.3
06.
“Cash Cash, Mo Money”
>>> S/O to tha U.N.L.V. boyz, “Tec-9, Lil’ Ya & (R.I.P.) Yella
Boy”; good intro… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds like a dope
voice fa tha hood; literally, it sounds like tha N.O.’s hood leader! It’s like
a Juvenile bred was born! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like a
weird-soundin’ low quality but it’s cool; tha hood iz in tha buildin’! Hearin’
tha 2nd verse & it’s soundin’ good with tha regular-soundin’
rhymes, delivered with energy; props… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it
ain’t too bad, as well; still diggin’ tha N’awlinz flow/voice, despite some of
it seemin’ like regular rappin’… As far as tha rest of this shit, it seems like
it’s gettin’ long. I know tha “Get Jiggy” shit was two minutes longer but with
tha way there’s so much call-to-action & dancin’ shit, length wasn’t an
issue fa me, there. With this regular-soundin’ flows & rap joint, havin’ a
certain length keeps me in-tune for a certain period of tyme, ya feel me? My Rating: 3.6
07.
“Hustlin’ In The Street”
>>> Sounds like a dope bounce track that emerged from “tha street”;
definitely nice & hype with tha energy! As this continues, it’s nothin’ but
ward-callin’ & hood-reppin’, here; unstoppable!! Lol @ “To Papa Reu”;
good-ole “papa”! Just luv how this seems like it’s impossible to end!! My
Rating: 4.4
08.
“Hey Lil’ Soldier”
>>> Sounds like a youngin-type of joint, here; an okay hook but I’ono
how much I can dig this youngin… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it
sounds okay; not much ta say, except that tha energy’s good. Keepin’ this thang
movin’ with tha 2nd verse & this young voice iz startin’ ta make
me seem like it’s a young female on tha mic; not too excitin’ fa me… Hearin’
what we got after tha two verses & it sounds more like a grown dude,
soundin’ decent. It sounds more like talkin’ than rappin’; not tha greatest,
overall… My Rating: 2.5
½tyme: Other than tha youngin
joint b4 tha ½tyme, I’ve been feelin’ tha consistent, non-stop energy applied
to tha tracks, here; Jubilee’s unstoppable! Either way, 4.1 iz tha average score, currently;
let’s see if tha rating’ll do betta, in tha end!
09.
“Get Ignorant”
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ hyped-up track, here; good beat & good
lil’ hook with what y’all applyin’ to tha streetz! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it sounds good with that Juvie-like flow; that 5-0-4—that rhymed
(with “fo” as “4”)! Tha rest of what’s goin’ on with this track keeps tha
energy up; can’t deny tha energy y’all puttin’ out fa tha streetz! My Rating: 4.2
10.
“Get Jiggy With Al & Tee”
>>> Beat ain’t bad, here; I have a feelin’ I gon like tha just “Get
Jiggy” betta than this… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good
with tha energy y’all apply to gettin’ err-body to jigg; good shit… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s all about tha “Al
& Tee”, basically? A lot less repetitive than “Get Jiggy” but it’s still
aight. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s all about tha “Take Fo”
lifestyle & representation, here; gotta feel what’s goin’ on, here… Afta
two verses, this “breakdown” may seem like a long outro? Neva
mind, a 3rd verse iz here & y’all keepin’ it movin’, here; good
shit… Now, I hear tha outro fa almost tha whole final minute of tha track &
it’s cool; tha club don’t stop! My
Rating: 4.1
11.
“Ghetto Stories”
>>> That young chick, again? Hearin’ tha hook & it’s ehh…; coulda
heard somethin’ betta? Glad there’s energy in this beat, at least…! Hearin’ tha
1st verse & it sounds like good content in tha street; I can’t
complain too-too much. I think I’ve been so adjusted to that non-stop,
male-vocal bounce vibe that this type of shit throws me for a lil’ curve. Props
fa this chick fa deliverin’ consistent rhymes fa tha hood, at least; glad her
not-really-for-me shit has quality in it… Endin’ this track with singin’?
Doesn’t even match tha quality content I heard in this. Props for tryna push a
“change” but tha way it’s sung sounds too depressin’… My Rating: 3.1
12.
“All About A Hot Boy”
>>> Sounds good on tha hook & beat, here; always be a “hot boy”—a bounced-out one! Keepin’ this movin’ with
tha 1st verse, comin’ through with that Hot Boy$-type shit, as if it
was an undaground hood of New Orleans;
good shit! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & what a deeper voice ta
continue, here! Feelin’ their flow fa New
Orleans, at least; keep it up with this hood content! Keepin’
this movin’ with tha 3rd verse & I’m still diggin’ this
N’awlinz-like flow; strictly from tha 504, here! My Rating: 4.2
13.
Interlude
>>>
Sounds like a hyped-up interlude, here; keep tha energy goin’! Energy’s off tha
chain fa tha crowd, here; not really a beat but mixin’ to get tha crowd up, up,
up! My Rating: N/A
14.
“I’m On Fire”
>>> Tha chick’s back! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds catchy with
this “fire” & beat/its sounds; tha best one from tha chick…! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it sounds good fa tha hood; can’t deny her perspective, here…
Keepin’ this thang movin’ with tha 2nd verse & it’s soundin’
like a nice lil’ verse, as well; props fa tha proper energy fa tha streetz,
here…! Tha rest of this shit sounds okay ta hear, as well; it’s anotha way of
sayin’ tha energy neva dies! My Rating: 4.0
15.
“One In The Chamber”
>>> Feelin’ tha energy in tha beat & claps, here; let’s get it!
Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty dope with how you have anotha bounce
creation: “One In The Chamber”! It’s like, just keep tha same bounce energy,
except change each title, lol. Keepin’ it goin’ with tha 1st verse,
here & you can’t deny tha energy! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse &
there’s more crazy-soundin’ energy, here; luv how it can’t die!! As this shit
continues with tha 3rd verse, it’s like a bunch of energy in a can—a
song can, that iz! My Rating: 4.3
16.
“Freeze The Beef”
>>> Sounds like anotha nicely-dialected 504 track, here; tha content
& beat’s pretty nice fa tha hood, here…! Hook sounds nice ta express tha
tension in tha hood; gotta put tha “beef” on “freeze”! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it sounds like a cool lil’ soulja, just tryna make way; great job
on this beat… Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 2nd verse &
y’all got mo cool shit goin’ on fa tha hood, here; all about expressin’ with a
flow! Keepin’ this shit movin’ with tha 3rd verse & it’s
soundin’ like a young Juvie, once again, comin’ through, supplyin’ tha hood;
huh bruh…! My Rating: 4.4
Overall: This was a dope set of
tracks; props fa all tha energy, Jubilee & Bounce Squad! Just didn’t really
dig too-too much of tha chick but at least mostly all of this release was
on-n-poppin’! Keep up tha energy & keep drillin’ it in peoples’ minds,
bodies & anything in between!

Upbeat & fulla gangsta sounds, in tha beat; gotta luv it! Tha hook’s pretty
dope & it transitions to tha continuous-soundin’ 1st verse;
nice! Got tha Chubby one on tha 2nd verse, here, doin’ tha damn
thang, of course! “Don’t take my shit seriously,” huh? I know that’s Chubby’s

“reefa;” you know what’s hot! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse
& this a nice, laidback-type of rap vibe fa dem shmokers… Hearin’ tha 3rd
verse & it’s pretty dope; “guard me like a shield,” in tha perspective of a
5-0-4’er! “I plans ta die high;” whoa! Ain’t that tha way, right?! Sign me up!
“Lemme hit that muthafucka, dawg!” As this track’s almost five minutes in, we got
a 4th verse, here, continuin’ ta want dat “chieffa!” My Rating: 4.1
12.
“Get Into It”
Producer:
Ricé
>>>
Nice distortion in tha beginning, here… It transitions into a nice lil’ bounce

Hearin’ tha hook and it’s str8; flows/transitions nicely wit tha verses, ta me…
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and yeah, sounds like a paranoia case of tha

13.
“A Tribute To Bad-Ass Yella Boyee”
Producer:
Ricé
Speakin’
of this title, I made my tribute video & I did it on such a dope night!
>>>
Beat’s nice and laidback; not too sure if I’m into this sad track, tho… Hearin’

Dope ending! “You blow dat gar left in yo casket?” Nice way ta end an end!! My

14.
“Lay It Down”
Producer:
Ricé

Great follow-up to your “gar” question to Yella Boy, as you’re all about tha
“gar” on this hook, here; nice! Tha beat sounds good, as you deliver this nice

Producer:
T-Bone
>>>
Sounds like a good lil’ hook from you, as well as tha lil’ background singin’…;
beat on point, too! Got good shit goin’ on throughout tha 1st verse,
here; nice from you… Got one of your features on tha 2nd part of tha
1st verse, comin’ through as a rap politician; nice… Damn, a lack of
a hook? Not-good transitioning… Got tha 3rd part of tha 1st
verse & it’s aight; kinda startin’ ta bore me… Finally! Afta over three

Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0
– 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!
I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long
as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and
then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a
song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6
rating, I pretty much really love it,
as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I
hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type
before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song;
anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m
listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have
auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money (which I consider
‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!
>>>
Diggin’ tha beat sample! Gotta luv this dark vibe fa Cash Money! Gotta luv tha
aggression from tha speaker, as well! My
Rating: N/A
02.
“Nigga I’m ‘Bout It”
>>>
Sounds ironic fa Halloween comin’ up,
as it has a sample goin’ on in tha beat, here! Definitely nice wit this hook and beat!! Tha 1st verse
iz pretty gutta, to tha bone!! Definitely feelin’ tha aggression; pure heat,
here!! “Don’t get too close or tha heat just might scorch ya!” Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and y’all goin’ off, continuously, wit tha consistency! Gotta luv it! As
tha verse continuously goes on, it seems long but tha quality of it makes it
not boring…! At 5:06, tha beat stopped & tha ramblin’-rap went crazy! My Rating: 4.7
03.
“3rd Ward Court Date!!”
Just hate thinkin’ ‘bout tha “court
date” comin’ up! >>> Beat & hook’s pretty nice, as it’s a lil’
laidback fa tha ‘90s & dat good, undaground rap… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and it sounds like your typical, ‘90s-soundin’ delivery, here; good shit…
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and even tho y’all “stuck like Chuck,” I know
y’all got through it! I feel “stuck like Chuck,” as well; it’s rough…! Hearin’
tha 3rd verse and it’s your ‘90s slice of pie, here… My Rating: 3.9
04.
“Pop ‘Em Up”
>>> A ‘90s “car” scene, here, as it sounds pretty grimy… Between tha
last song & this, I think of N.W.A., wit their outspoken-asses; gotta dig
tha perspective! At 1:00, tha track starts & it’s pretty dope, between tha
hook & beat. Feelin’ how gangsta this N.W.A.-inspired shit gets, durin’ tha
1st verse; plates breakin’!! Tha 2nd verse’s pretty nice;
gotta dig it! “I don’t need stars on my chest to make my fuckin’ name bigga;” I
dig it! That’s how I feel about myself; I’m stronger in tha brain but I remain
tha same (person)! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it sounds like a nice
dose of a paranoia trip; good shit…! Tha 4th verse’s soundin’ good,
too, as tha rhymes keep flowin’, here…! Keepin’ tha 5th verse comin’
along wit some gunshots, here, keepin’ it “G,” to tha fullest! Sounds like
y’all havin’ more fun than havin’ paranoia durin’ tha outro, here; nice
U.N.L.V. shit…! My Rating: 4.2
05.
“No Struggle, No Progress”
>>>
Sounds like a nice lil’ beat; Christmas bells bein’ sampled? Almost sounds like
it but I’m definitely feelin’ tha trippy start, here…! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and this gangsta tale’s soundin’ pretty nice; feelin’ it a lot on this
beat! Dude on tha 2nd part of tha 1st verse’s pretty
dope, wit his rhymes; gotta luv y’all…! Tha last 56 seconds of tha beat playin’
iz pretty dope; good shit! My Rating: 4.5
06.
“Mannie Fresh Mix”
>>> Bouncin’ up & down ta this “mix;” good job, Fresh! My Rating: 4.3
½time: A 4.3-rated CD, so far; great gangsta
tales! Keep ‘em comin’, y’all!
07.
“Eddie Bow II”
>>> Great party vibe ta start thangz off…! Hearin’ y’all “bow” on tha
hook reminds me of this dude from Baton
Rouge that I no longer deal with. He claims he started
tha “bow” shit (most-noted on Kevin Gates’ 2009 “I’m A Grinder” song).
Meanwhile, here y’all are, 14 years ahead of that! Glad y’all here; good 1st
verse, as well! Tha 2nd verse’s pretty nice and funny that y’all
say, “Nigga, you ain’t tough;” irony fa tha future “bow?” Tha rest of tha
rappin’, as well as tha chantin’, sounds nice, toward tha end; good shit…! My Rating: 4.2
08.
“Come Up” feat. Magnolia Slim
>>>
Sounds like a cool lil’ beat sample/sound, in tha beginning…! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and it’s soundin’ like a regular-soundin’ ‘90s flow, here… Tha hook
sounds like a good, simple hook; nice job, y’all… Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and it’s soundin’ good fa tha ‘90s, once again… Hearin’ tha 3rd
verse and it sounds like a struggle ta keep tha mission to survive alive.
Luckily, y’all CMR representaz were able to build success from tha street life…
Got tha 4th verse, here & I’m diggin’ tha gritty vibes of tha
voice & delivery, here; Louisiana
in tha house…! My Rating: 4.2

“Mac Melph Calio” feat. Mr. Ivan
>>>

tha 1st verse goin’ on and it’s soundin’ nice; y’all reppin’ nicely,
here… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here & it’s soundin’ good, of
course… Tha 3rd verse’s pretty dope, wit tha fast-soundin’ rappin’;
gotta dig it…! Glad Mr. Ivan was able to join y’all on this track, here; good
shit, as tha 4th verse progresses…! My Rating: 4.4
10.
“Shake, Shake It”
>>> Nice lil’ sample in tha beginning, here, as Aaliyah & DMX used
for their collab, later on…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and y’all got
this shit on lock; good shit…! Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds good fa these
hoes, here; gotta make ‘em “shake!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s
soundin’ pretty eerie wit tha darker sounds in tha beat! Hearin’ tha 3rd
verse and tha voice’s soundin’ more on tha southern tip, here; definitely
nice…! My Rating: 4.3
11.
“BGz True Story” (BGz)
>>>
Kickin’ it off wit tha typical bounce-soundin’ sample… Got B.G. rappin’ on tha
1st verse, wit this lil’ sample; definitely nice! Tha 2nd
verse’s soundin’ nice, too… Almost thought I wasn’t gon rate this, due to it
bein’ just a sampler. However, I’ll give it its rating, due to all tha rappin’…
My Rating: 4.2
12.
“Hood Mac”
>>>
Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ good on this ‘90s-styled
beat… Got tha hook goin’ on, right nah & it sounds good ta hear, fa tha
‘90s… Tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ more energetic; gotta keep tha
energy comin’! My Rating: 4.0
13.
“Local 580 Fuck Tha Police” feat. BGz, Black, Jack-O, Lil’ Slim, Mr. Ivan &
Ms. Tee
>>>
Sounds like a good lil’ hook from Ms. Tee, here; duckin’ tha 12! Beat’s a
simple-soundin’ ‘90s style, which fits ta fit all these peeps on here! Hearin’
B.G. on tha 1st verse and he sounds good, as well as Ms. Tee’s “fuck
tha police” background vocals helpin’ out…! Got tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st
verse goin’ on, here & dude got tha aggressive flow, here…! Got tha 1st
part of tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ good wit tha female-styled
perspective of duckin’ 12; go, Ms. Tee! Here comes tha 2nd part of
tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ good ta hear; gotta luv tha 504!
Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd part of tha 2nd verse,
here, soundin’ good fa tha “block” & tha streetz! My Rating: 4.5

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

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