Broadcasting from Northeast PA, it's FrankieThaLuckyDog, reporting another loss in tha Louisiana Rap community. Walter McCallon, who was known as tha rapper/producer Tre-8, was in Algiers, Louisiana, when he got into a fatal car accident on May 28, 2011. In tha car were his spouse, daughter, two nieces, and nephew; he was tha only one that failed to survive. McCallon was active in tha New Orleans, Louisiana Rap scene: being a backup dancer and learning how to produce with producer/rapper, Ice Mike; being a part of tha group Westbank Coalition in 1993; going solo to become one of tha first artists to sign with Master P's No Limit Records label, which released his 1995 "Ghetto Stories"; appearing on various compilations throughout tha South; working for South Coast Music Group; forming his own labels, Smoke 1 Records and Purple Haze Productions; and releasing music with Houston, Texas group, Dem Haze Boyz. If McCallon lived 'til July 16, he would've turned 37 years old (online sources say he already was 37, which iz FALSE; Ice Mike confirmed to me on tha phone that he died at 36).
Commercial-free, here goes my 7th review for today: Vamp “Hands On Vol. 2”! Start Time: 4:36 PM | End Time: 5:34 PM
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. “Big Dog” Feat. Juvenile Ooh, dis looks like it gon be some good shit ta start thangz off! >>> LOL, just started wit Juvie, doin’ tha damn thang on tha hook (sampled?)! Where’s “Vol. 1”? You sound good on tha verse, doin’ ya thang; I feel dat, bruh. My Rating: 4.3
02. “Keep It Real” Feat. Magnolia Chop (As they say) “Gots to!” >>> Dat good, current, 504-type shit! Chop holdin’ down tha hook in a (imitates) “grea—grea—grea—grea—great way”, lol! You did a nice job wit tha 1st verse; just showin’ buku luv ta tha streetz! Tha 2nd verse also proves dat you keepin’ it goin’ here; that’s what’s up! My Rating: 4.2
03. “Ride Of Her Life” Feat. Blaq N Mild & Naja Interestin’ collab here; what you got on dis one? >>> Pretty good wit tha BNM vibe on tha beat. Tha hook’s a lil’ strange but I’ll accept it on this beat. Not bad for tha rest of dis… My Rating: 3.1
04. “I’m Sick (Freestyle)” Feat. Lil’ Real One & Wild Bill I like dat you always have features; that’s a bet! >>> Tha hook sounds good; you got dis shit on lock wit tha good beat behind you! Tha 1st verse sounds good wit dis “smokin’” shit as well as all tha “___ shit” parts; good “shit”, lol! Tha 2nd verse iz bringin’ dat good gangsta shit to tha table! My Rating: 4.3
05. “When Shit Get Real” Feat. Kayotic & Wild Bill Keepin’ it movin’… >>> Heard dis Vybe beat before on various types; how will your version sound? Sounds pretty nice here; tha hook iz definitely on point! Tha 1st verse keepin’ it gangsta once again! Tha 2nd verse iz on dat tight, gangsta shit, too; really luvin’ how y’all comin’ through wit it!! Damn, iz each verse gettin’ betta and betta? Tha 3rd verse iz, just, REAL GOOD wit dis gangsta shit!! My Rating: 4.4
06. “That’s How I’m Rocking (Freestyle)” Feat. Lil’ E >>> You got good ears for beats; good sound here! Consistent rappin’ here; good job! Tha hook’s pretty catchy; how will E do vs. you? Good rappin’ but sounds kinda typical wit tha “hoes” subject. Tha “eat your girl up like a piece of chicken” part was pretty tight, though; it’s all about gettin’ descriptive! My Rating: 4.1
07. “What It Do” Feat. Wild Bill Keepin’ it goin’, feature style! >>> Good intro and tha song sounds pretty catchy… Really feelin’ tha content here ‘bout tha “police” and all dat. Gotta luv how you be bringin’ dis hot shit to tha table; keep it comin’!! Good shit from Bill, too; you DEFINITELY have tha clique on lock!! My Rating: 4.5
08. “Shit Be On My Mind” LOL, no feature? Let’s see how you can handle yaself on ya own… >>> Prolly heard dis Vybe beat on someone’s CD once before. Even though pretty stale, it sounds pretty good when you’re rappin’ on it. Good job wit tha 1st verse; you got a lot “on [your] mind”! Tha 2nd verse sounded pretty good, too. Nice job wit handlin’ a beat dat wasn’t, really, that average for me. My Rating: 3.9
½time: A 4.1-rated CD so far; good shit! You a dawg wit dis shit; I fux wit chu!!
09. “Got This Feeling” >>> This beat’s much worse than tha previous one; yuck! Tha only thang dat grabbed my attention was when you said, “smoke…,” in tha beginning. Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good; you’re makin’ me actually like dis shit! Tha 2nd verse also has some real shit ta offer; thumbs up… My Rating: 3.7
10. “Fitted To The Back” Feat. Big Ziggy This looks like it gon be a cool joint or somethin’; lookin’ forward, especially wit tha feature! >>> Tha Vybe (lol) beat sounds cool and you definitely keepin’ dis shit on ‘n’ poppin’! Glad you know how ta make dem anthems!! Ooh, Big Ziggy comin’ through in a tight way for tha 2nd verse! He finna “lunch [their] ass,” lol! Real nice job from Ziggy as he came through pretty strong! LOL, tha 3rd verse definitely on ‘n’ poppin’, too; good shit to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.5
11. “Devil On My Back” Feat. Calliope Var Ooh, anotha “back” song, lol. Let’s see what dis ‘bout… >>> Dis DEFINITELY a HUGE anthem!! “Tha devil on my back (my back). That’s why I smoke weed, nigga;” TIGHTNESS!!! Luckily, “tha devil” ain’t even close ta me!! I just keep comin’ through wit my greatness!! Tha 1st verse’s real good; all about dat tight, street shit!! Here comes Mr. Var on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some good shit! Nothin’ wack ‘bout Calliope Var; he’s ALWAYS consistent!! Since day one!! Speakin’ of “devil on my back”, tha “devil” somehow came out tha 1st time Calliope Var called my phone. When he called, I turned tha fan off to hear him and tha fan fell from tha window onto my laptop; WTF? How fucked up!! I dunno why dat happened but Calliope a cool dude, though! My Rating: 4.6
12. “Make It Out This Ghetto” Feat. Snipe Chopper City Boyz’s Snipe on tha feature; let’s see what’s up… >>> Kinda smooth wit tha beat but I think tha rhymes’ll help. Good rhymes in tha 1st verse although tha hook’s a lil’ ehh… Snipe on tha 2nd verse? Sounds like a focused T.I.; he doin’ a nice job… Tha 3rd verse sounds good; nice comment about “my president black; nothin’ change, yet.” My Rating: 3.6
13. “All In Mine” Feat. Yasmine >>> Sounds like a different kinda song, on a club tip. Yasmine doin’ a nice job wit her parts as well as you alternatin’. Funny dat it’s so repetitive, lol. My Rating: 3.8
14. “I Like It” >>> What’s wit tha gay background vocals? This iz just decent/below average for me. My Rating: 2.6
15. “Boss Bitch” >>> This a lil’ betta; I like how tha title repeats. Wait… iz this even a song? Sounds more like a skit and talkin’… I don’t get dis; can’t rate this as a—oh, at 1:29, tha rappin’ finally came, LMAO? How quick… My Rating: 3.0
16. “They Hatin’” Feat. Lil’ E >>> Sounds like a movie in tha beginning—almost. Tha beat’s cool; almost reminds me of somethin’ else from a few years ago. Tha hook’s good and it sounds like you’re focused fa tha 1st verse. Nice job on tha 1st verse; what does E have ta offer? Mo of dat good shit! My Rating: 4.2
17. “Smellin’ Myself” Feat. Japain & Tre-8 Ooh, Tre-8 on tha feature but this title? LOL, I think I really gon enjoy dis—I hope! >>> Okay, tha beat iz DEFINITELY official; could be tha best one on here?!? This DEFINITELY iz entertainin’ wit tha 1st verse; GR8 flow!! Even though some of tha lyrics are kinda gay fa me, this iz definitely a HUGE anthem!! LOL @ tha hook; really “smelly”, huh, lol? Tha 2nd verse came through pretty good for a debut; interestin’ shit goin’ on here! How will tha legendary Tre-8 contribute ta dis? If dis iz him on tha 3rd verse, it sounds kinda mainstream for him? “This a $100 blunt, bitch, can’t you smell?” Shit, I’d LUVVVVVVVV ta smell dat shit right now, ya dig?!?!? It almost sounds like Juvenile mumblin’ in tha background, lol. My Rating: 4.6
Overall: For a second, I thought tha Shell song was gonna be on here; I guess it wasn’t out at tha time (since this was uploaded February 2010)? Anyway, you did a NICE job wit dis CD!! You’re a REAL GOOD rapper and you just keepin’ thangz on ‘n’ poppin’ 24/7!! Keep rappin’ and keep droppin’ these HOT mixtapes!!!

Good job keepin’ tha whole song HOT! My Rating: 4.4
03. “My Hood” Short titles but doin’ tha damn thang still, lol! >>> Mo consistent shit fa my ears, ya dig? A “New Orleans” sound here?

I like tha “grab a parachute ‘cause it’s goin’ down” part in tha beginning of tha 2nd verse; you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.3
04. “Hatin’ On Me” Keepin’ it goin’!! >>> Kinda sounds like Auto-Tune in tha beginning but it’s nothin’ bad, luckily.

Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse; “no more dappin’ and huggin’”? I barely got ta experience any of it in tha world. Still lookin’ forward to havin’ some daps and hugs frequently. I just don’t know when it gon be… My Rating: 4.0
05. “Never Change” Just blended right into it; lemme hear. >>> Just like what I feel about myself: “I’ll neva change”; you know what it iz! Hopefully, if you “neva change,” then, you’ll get ta comment on this review, you know? Good shit… My Rating: 4.2

Tha 2nd verse sounded pretty good, too. Where’s Magnolia Chop at? Iz he gonna be at tha end or somethin’? Oh, I hear him comin’ in for tha 3rd verse… LOL, rappin’? How random fa him, lol. It actually sounds pretty good than some of tha singin’ I hear on some of his collabs. My Rating: 4.5

11. “She Need” Feat. Mouse >>> Gonna hold on and see what gon happen wit dis… Okay, sounds pretty nice wit tha hook (on a Bounce tip)! Mouse’s on tha hook, too; should source him in tha ID.

Sounds pretty good for tha beginning… Tha hook sounds pretty catchy wit how y’all come through on it; good shit. Tha 2nd verse was pretty good, too; Shell doin’ tha damn thang! For some reason, I thought Roc was gonna sound like a young person. But, he sounds ‘round your age/from tha streets; not too bad of a verse… My Rating: 4.1
16. “My Life” What do we got here? >>> When tha title came in, it sounded like it’s gonna be a pretty good song. This iz a pretty good song; you got tha real shit comin’ out here, which iz a plus. Tha verses sounded kinda long but not too bad, overall. My Rating: 3.9
