Review #1,806: Shizz Dollah "Look What You Made Me Do, Vol. 3: Baby Edition"

Reviewed on 7.08.2019 (Review #1,806)


Hoping to have my 1st day of work, today, at my new job! Before I get to dat, lemme get ta dis: Shizz Dollah Look What You Made Me Do, Vol. 3: Baby Edition review, courtesy of Pay The Producer Production & 3 Baby Entertainment! This iz Dollah’s posthumous release, right chea… Start Time: 8:15 AM | End Time: 3:31 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!

© 2019 CD Review (Review #1,806) reviewed on 7.08.2019 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Intro: 3-0
>>> Props on winning tha battle, with a “3” in tha score, of course! My Rating: N/A


02. “Clout Chaser”
>>> Comin’ through wit HardBody on tha beat, here (Kevin Rivers & Raheem Hightower); sounds like it gon be a good 1st song on tha disc… Sounds like an okay hook; beat a lil’ quiet but starts to pick up… Sounds like a consistent verse you deliverin’, on tha 1st verse; good shit, Shizz! Tha 2nd verse comin’ through hard, as well, wit tha rhymes; definitely nice. My Rating: 4.0


03. “Boogie Man”
>>> Neil On Da Track! Sounds too mainstream fa me; not likin’ your voice on this one. Tha hook sounds like it’s tryna sell out wit tha beat and voice. Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and I’m not really diggin’ tha voice effects. I remember, back in 2012, when you was dealin’ wit Foxx, you went at me for tha auto-tune shit. It’s 2019 & I still say it’s shit! I’m just lettin’ this play; I don’t really have to say anything… My Rating: 2.4


04. “No Offense”
>>> “Just pay the guy!,” in tha background; shout out ta B-Real (and Kevin Rivers, on this one)! #JustPayTheGuy! Just sounds like a freestyle, so far, with not much goin’ on in tha beat. It’s just a good beat fa you ta let out rhymes on, basically. Mo fiya shit comin’ outta tha 2nd verse, too; thumbs up fa keepin’ it up… My Rating: 3.7


05. “Let’s Be Serious”
>>> Sounds like a betta start wit tha beat, here; J Buc! Sounds like a good hook; definitely catchy and almost reminds me of Ready, from ’09 (“So Serious”)… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice, too; good goin’, Shizz! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ good, too; keep tha good shit comin’ along! My Rating: 4.2


06. “Sex Slave”
Music video out now! Here goes my review for it, as I added it to my playlist, just yesterday (wasn’t sure if this review or da playlist was gon be first, at first). >>> B-Real on tha beat, of course. What I really like about this one iz your flow (of course, no gay voice effects provided); definitely sounds like a catchy hook. Reelin’ in da sex, on da real! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice. It’s always good to hear more-defining lyrics than just, “I fucked you.” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds like you’re gettin’ caught up in that fast rappin’ that err-body tryna do, deliverin’ a verse. Kinda random, fa me; I’d rather be flooded with that floooow! My Rating: 4.2


07. “Boss Bitch”
>>> Not gonna comment on tha producer ($hop…); good, catchy lil’ track, between tha hook and what you deliver. My Rating: 4.1


½time: 8:34 AM; just gonna stop and go to tha job. If I get a break, I’ll continue this. For now, it’s an okay CD; a 3.8-rated CD. Original production sounds nice; just avoid tha auto-tune nonsense, B-Real! *Goes to work…* *Comes back at 3:16 PM…*


08. “Window Pain”
>>> J Buc on tha beat but not good wit how you soundin’, in your voice. To me, it’s a lil’ gay wit these “raindrops falling on [your] window;” nothin’ great wit da hook. Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you and you sound slightly better; sounds more like celebrating-type lyrics than depressing? Kickin’ off tha 2nd verse and it sounds like I’m hearin’ tons of recycled titles (“It’s Gone Get Better For Me”, “Make Time For You”); kinda bleh… Really, no more interest in this; some1 else coulda handled this beat betta. My Rating: 2.5


09. Skit
>>> It’s like he thinkin’ ‘bout death with how some have “died” where he at… My Rating: N/A


10. “Mad Man”
>>> J Buc beat, again; can it be betta? This sounds much catchier wit tha good “Sex Slave”-type flow and you sound good wit Magee on da beat (J Buc). Hearin’ what you got goin’ on wit tha 1st verse and it’s good; “Sex Slave”, Part 2, at its finest… Sounds good wit what you’re bringin’ on tha 2nd verse; gotta dig tha line, “Mane, it feels good to be a muthafuckin’ black man!” Ain’t dat right? I feel multiracial, at times, due to how well I’ve connected with people. My Rating: 4.2


11. “Stop Playin’”
>>> HardBody doin’ anotha beat, here… So far, hearin’ tha hook and it just sounds like a regular, mainstream-soundin’ song; ain’t nothin’ Baton Rouge/Louisiana about this, fa me… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and I’m not really diggin’ this flow. It’s just, rhyme, rhyme-rhyme-rhyme, rhyme; rhyme-rhyme-rhyme-rhyme-rhyme, rhyme, as it doesn’t stop. Gettin’ tired of rappers tryna shove so many words into one bar… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse and it’s just random rhymes; can’t feel ‘em too much… Overall, a lil’ below decent for tha track; just anotha mainstream-soundin’ track… My Rating: 3.0


12. “It’s Gone Get Better For Me”
A repeat from Vol. 2, as I previously reviewed:

Sounds like a depressing vibe? Kinda likin’ this quiet-soundin’ [DJ B-Real] beat wit your story goin’ on… Not tha craziest but, it’s crazy how you said, “Only fear iz me dyin’, in my prime…” Who woulda thought you’d have a fatal heart attack at 27? I see you mentioned “Flag,” on tha 1st verse. Yeah, free G.O.C.! Glad you produced his undaground hit song from [2017], “One Mo Time”! As far as tha rest of this, it aight; it iz what it iz… My Current Rating: 3.5


13. “Too Much On Me”
>>> Hitz Production track… Just not diggin’ tha auto-tuned voice on you; interest just drops too quick! Not really feelin’ tha hook; can see this goin’ down da trash… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it just sounds like every rapper turnt father. To me, it’s tha definition of a downfall; nothin’ new. Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse and it sounds betta wit tha lyrics, but we’re back to that 1,000-words-in-one-bar shit, smh. I do agree about bein’ “more of a man” when it comes to “goin’ through some shit.” I definitely have felt it this year! Don’t even feel tha pain of a sunburn, tbh! My Rating: 2.1


14. “Outro: Words From The Deacon”
>>> Definitely! “Keep workin’ till you get betta;” gotta! My Rating: N/A


Overall: Wasn’t really that great… Thumbs up fa havin’ original production but no features? Need to have more of that Baton Rouge sound in tha tracks than tha mainstream, typical-soundin’ shit you hear on every rapper’s tracks, these dayz. Also, coulda done without tha auto-tune; that’s why Shizz disliked me, back in tha day!


Rankings:

11. “Too Much On Me” 2.1
10. “Boogie Man” 2.4
09. “Window Pain” 2.5
08. “Stop Playin’” 3.0
07. “It’s Gone Get Better For Me” 3.5
06. “No Offense” 3.7
05. “Clout Chaser” 4.0
04. “Boss Bitch” 4.1
03. “Mad Man” 4.2
02. “Let’s Be Serious” 4.2
01. “Sex Slave” 4.2

Review #1,794: Shizz Dollah "N.I.K.E., Vol. 1 (Nigga I Kill Everything) (Hosted by DJ PK1)"

Reviewed on 1.21.2019 (Review #1,794)


Time fa mo Shizz Dollah! Here goes my review fa his 2013 CD (I forgot to mention, tha previous CD I just reviewed was also from 2013), N.I.K.E., Vol. 1 (Nigga I Kill Everything) (Hosted by DJ PK1), courtesy of Money Cirkle Entertainment & The Non-Fiction Community… Start Time: 8:47 PM | End Time: 9:12 PM

© 2019 CD Review (Review #1,794) reviewed on 1.21.2019 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Nigga I Kill Everything”
>>> DJ PK1 on tha hosting, here… Nice lil’ intro and now, a darker-soundin’ beat wit your consistent rhymes; nice… My Rating: 4.1


02. “Work 4 Me”
You on da beat… >>> Sounds like a familiar-soundin’ bounce vibe or somethin’; good lil’ hook from you… Sounds like you livin’ a good life wit how you comin’ through on tha verses; nice vibe… My Rating: 4.2


03. “Pills & Cocaine” feat. 1Hitta, Lil’ One The Champ & Spitta
Keepin’ your beats goin’… >>> Sounds like a familiar-soundin’ beat (like Mystikal “Here I Go” or somethin’); sounds good wit you on tha 1st verse… Tha hook sounds like a good mixin’ blend, to go wit tha mixin’ of this mixtape… Hearin’ Lil’ One on tha 2nd verse and it sounds good/consistent; nice job… Spit on tha 3rd verse, luvin’ tha “purp,” of course! Great job collabin’ wit tha Dollah & vice versa! My Rating: 3.8


04. “Do This Fo Real”
Mo original productions… >>> Sounds like a good/catchy lil’ hook wit how you repeat tha title; nice… Rhymes sound catchy fa a club vibe; not bad, overall… Kinda seems like it neva ends, for havin’ no features on this; still decent, regardless… My Rating: 3.7


05. “Ching Ching” feat. Lil’ One (Bad Azz Ent.)
D. Jackson doin’ this beat… >>> Sounds like a catchy-soundin’ hook, despite me not goin’ for tha money songs… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s a regular-soundin’ verse; not bad… Couldn’t put tha hook’s voice wit this bein’ this Lil’ One but I guess it iz… Barely have heard this Lil’ One but now, there’s more chances… Hearin’ him on tha 2nd verse and it ain’t bad; it passes tha test… My Rating: 3.6


06. “Paranoid”
Young Hits beat…! >>> Gotta luv “flyin’ down Airline;” I miss bein’ in BR! Good lil’ hook but it’s all about confidence! Gotta avoid tha paranoia! Hearin’ what you got ta say on tha verses and it sounds like you’re tryna escape, as much as you can… Good state of mind but look at where it brought you (death)… Good, catchy rhymes on tha 2nd verse, too; you know what it iz… My Rating: 3.7


07. “Gucci” feat. Lil’ One (Bad Azz Ent.)
D. Jackson beat! >>> A decent beat wit a decent/“good” hook, here… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it sounds like a random, regular-soundin’ undaground song fa da Boot, here… Nice job wit what Lil’ One bringin’ ta dis track; like this betta than tha previous one… My Rating: 3.7


½time: Most of this CD’s slightly above-average, fa me; a 3.8-rated CD, currently. Keep up tha original-produced tracks, holdin’ it down…!


08. “Fucked Up” feat. Lil’ One (Bad Azz Ent.) & Foxx
$hizz, you on da beat, once again! >>> Good beat you bringin’ to da table, here; good 1st verse, too… Sounds good wit Lil’ One on tha 2nd verse, here, strictly luvin’ tha buzz life! “Let’s get retawded-tawded;” fa’real! Gotta luv Foxx’s buzzed contributions on tha 3rd verse, of course; unstoppable Milliyone!! My Rating: 4.2


09. “One Time”
No producer listed…? Hmm… >>> Nothin’ too-too bad, so far; a lil’ laidback, here… Hearin’ what you got goin’ on and it sounds like you’re tryna rap faster than what tha beat can handle… Tha pre-hook sounds a lil’ too simple wit tha title part repeatin’… Tha hook ain’t too bad; like how you ready fa this “time,” here… My Rating: 3.7


10. “Bitches Love Me”
>>> Okay, no producer listed ‘cause you goin’ tha Wayne route, wit tha “Love Me” rendition, here… Too fast wit tha rappin’; sounds too random, ta me… Does it really need ta be 4:09? Way too long; shoulda cut this jacked-beat track in half! My Rating: 1.5


11. “Joady” feat. Lil’ One (Bad Azz Ent.) & Foxx
Back to da original productions from you, here… >>> Sounds more anticipatin’ than tha previous track! You sound like you got tha BR vibe on lock, throughout tha 1st verse; good job… Tha hook sounds good/catchy; can’t deny it, I guess? Lil’ One enjoyin’ all this “jumpin’ up & down” shit, via tha 2nd verse; good job… Gotta save tha best fa last (Foxx)! Foxx-A-Mill comin’ through on tha 3rd verse, here, strictly holdin’ it down wit his aggression at all times! My Rating: 4.0


12. “What Up With That”
Young Hits on this production…! >>> Good lil’ beat; when you talk about tha “Nolia Clap,” on tha hook, it reminds me that this Hitz production has a lil’ bit of an N.O. vibe to it, more than a BR one! Hearin’ what you got ta spit and it sounds like it blends good wit this N.O. street vibe (beat), vs. your BR club vibe (rhymes); nice! My Rating: 3.8


13. “Questionaire”
>>> Sounds like a lil’ bit of an upbeat vibe fa you, here; good lil’ hook… Hearin’ what you got goin’ on throughout tha rappin’ and it sounds like you focused. Sounds like a few mainstream references, here, from “Nicki,” to Drake, to “50;” umm… Overall, just a regular-soundin’ track fa me; nothin’ too special but not bad… My Rating: 3.5


14. “Freaks” feat. Doe
>>> Takin’ on this “Freaks”; here we go… Sounds like you’re excited ta rap but sometimes, it sounds like you got dat Lil’ Wayne flow to ya… Doe got some catchy rhymes comin’ outta tha 2nd verse; pretty nice, but nicer if it was an original beat… My Rating: 2.8


15. “Speed Dial” feat. Dog Da Cutthroata & Foxx
>>> Beginning with you tryna slow it down doesn’t sound like it gon be fa me… Hook ehh; it’s just a slow jam, ta me… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it—auto-tune? Neva mind… Damn, Dog, too? Fa’get his verse…! Hope not Foxx… Save a 1.0 from happenin’, F-O-XX…! Looks like he did! No gay voice, here, but this’ll prolly be tha worst-rated track… Lol @ “I put her # under ‘Wet Wet;’ I’ono her name;” good goin’, Foxx! Glad Foxx got lots of good powers ta turn around any environment! My Rating: 1.2


Overall: Seems like most of your CDs average around tha same scores & shit… I thought this one had it, in tha beginning, with all tha original production. Then again, you took it a lil’ too far wit tha mainstream/slower vibes & kinda fucked up your ratings. Either way, there’s one more review I gotta do of yours, most-likely 2morrow; how will you do?

© 2019 CD Review (Review #1,793) reviewed on 1.21.2019 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Intro”
>>> Sounds like you’re slowly dippin’ into a betta vibe than tha A.D.I.D.A.S. vibe, from 2012… Likin’ all tha “off” shit, on tha hook; glad you got some addictive hooks! Hearin’ you rap and it’s pretty nice; glad you got all these “raps!” My Rating: 4.2


02. “Bossed Up”
>>> A slower vibe, here, but keepin’ it G… Hearin’ you rap and it sounds like you continuin’ tha nice rhymes, once again; good shit. I like how you said, “Polo socks; my 4-4 cocked;” dope shit! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s good; nothin’ special-special but nothin’ terrible… My Rating: 3.7


03. “Feel Good”
>>> Got D. Jackson on this beat, here; let’s see how y’all combine together… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s good, wit this Jacksontized beat; not bad… Hearin’ what you got wit tha rhymes and yeah, “Same clothes fa two dayz;” it’s true! I would say, sometimes, close to a week if you don’t have a job and are on a non-stop grind… Sounds like you picked up tha pace wit tha flow… I’ono, not err-body gotta rap fast…! My Rating: 3.5


04. “Rider”
>>> Anotha D. Jackson beat; glad y’all have chemistry…! Glad you have “a closet fulla music,” too; definitely a plus! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s a lil’ catchier than tha previous hook. Hearin’ you rap and it ain’t too bad, here. Just a regular-soundin’ track ta me, with nothin’ special or nothin’ bad… My Rating: 3.6


05. “Beef Shit” feat. Rambeezy
>>> R.I.P. y’all… Young Hits doin’ this beat; bet it gon be a top-rated one…! Hook ain’t too bad; I expected a lil’ mo energy wit this Hits beat & y’all… What’s tha deal wit tha “‘09” shit? Nothin’ great about those ‘Nu$$ie Dead’ times… Hearin’ you rap and it sounds catchy; you know what you doin’…! Glad you luv tha “Polo;” that’s why you had it “2 The Flo,” back in “’09,” like you said! I like how Rambeezy got a good representation wit tha collab, here; props to his gangsta shit! Kinda likin’ how he referenced “Bubba Sparxxx” and his “Ugly” track, from ’01; random but nice… My Rating: 4.2


06. “Noticed You” feat. Young Trayne
>>> Sounds like a good, catchy, slower vibe, on tha hook; props ta D, again, on anotha beat! Hearin’ you rap your verse on this and, as always, it sounds like you continuously able ta hold it down…! Wit Trayne on tha 2nd verse, he sounds great ta hear, of course; great job wit y’all “Oak”-asses, ya dig? My Rating: 3.8


07. “Girlfriend”
>>> Goin’ wit tha online beats or whatevz…? Hearin’ you rap and it sounds like you tryna get along wit this online track… I’ono, I wouldn’t be cool wit it, lol… Kinda likin’ tha hook and how you have this “get down” shit on lock, as far as catchiness… Even tho these kinda tracks don’t sound tha best ta me, I’ll admit: there’s a decent amount of catchiness, here… My Rating: 3.4


½time: Not too bad, so far; I thank you got this, as far as this P.O.L.O. shit goes… A 3.8-rated CD, currently; let’s see what’s next…


08. “Freestyle”
>>> Decent rhymes, wit a random beat ta “freestyle” off of… Once it’s time to “freestyle,” you already know how to adjust yourself…! My Rating: 3.9


09. “Get At U”
>>> Sounds like a decent, catchy lil’ hook/beat… Well, of course, it sounds betta when you start repeatin’, “I’m gon get at u (I’m gon get at u)…;” nice! Like what you’re bringin’ to tha verses, here, strictly comin’ from tha “goon school,” of course! Kinda long fa a track but it ain’t too bad, overall… My Rating: 3.9


10. “No Good”
>>> Anotha okay/not-tha-craziest-about-type of song… Tha hook a lil’ catchy and tha beat kinda laidback, here; nothin’ too-too special but let’s see what else we got goin’ on… Hearin’ you rap and I’m likin’ your rhymes, with tha “Room Raiders” and all that; “good” rhymes fa a relationship song… Anotha one a lil’ long—actually, just about tha same length as tha previous track… My Rating: 3.7


11. “Product Of My Environment”
>>> Just a random beat wit a random voice bein’ sampled; nothin’ special fa me… Anotha 4:00+ track; okay rhymes and a decent hook… Nothin’ too catchy, here; nothin’ much fa me ta say… My Rating: 3.1


12. “Stevie Wonder” feat. Doe
>>> Anotha song referrin’ ta “Stevie Wonder”; this boring and mainstream-soundin’, tho… Not really inta tha flow/rappin’ on this one, as well; get away from tha mainstream!! Same thang wit Doe; this ain’t fa y’all! What else should I say…? My Rating: 1.3


13. “High Freestyle” feat. Lil’ Mop
>>> Here we go wit mo online beats… Don’t thank I’ll catch on to tha rhymes/flow, since it sounds like bullshit mainstream music, like tha last track… Great wit tha “stupid high” part, but on this beat? Naw, Mop… Even tha rappin’ can have potential to be good, but y’all shoulda had an original Baton Rouge beat on this one! You sound like you’re tryna have fun wit your rappin’ but fa’real, y’all shoulda picked a different beat ta rap on… My Rating: 2.5


14. “Spend The Night”
>>> Anotha random beat wit anotha relationship-style track… Let’s see how much feedback I’ll leave… Semi-fast rappin’; attemptin’ to be catchy but it ain’t workin’, here… Kinda bored wit tha “pocket fulla money” shit…; next…! My Rating: 1.7


15. “Bet That Up” feat. Rambeezy
>>> Sounds like there’s betta effort in this intro, here, wit tha energy! “Bet that up!” Enjoyin’ tha hook and what y’all got goin’ on, here… Good shit from Beezy, comin’ through fa you, here; gangsta at its finest…! A decent lil’ contribution from you, here; likin’ Beezy betta but it’s still betta than tha previous tracks…! My Rating: 3.8


Overall: A lil’ boring/watered-down toward tha 2nd ½ but it looked like it started off to be above-average… Got two mo CDs ta review of yours & I should be able to get to ‘em sooner or later…

Review #1,789: Lil' Yella "The Johnny Blanco Story"

Reviewed on 12.31.2018 (Review #1,789)


As I’m on my way to gettin’ to da moola, lemme get this review outta tha way, right quick: Lil’ Yella The Johnny Blanco Story, courtesy of Live2Hustle! L2H! Start Time: 7:46 AM | End Time: 8:17 AM












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!

© 2018 CD Review (Review #1,789) reviewed on 12.31.2018 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Pablo Escobar (Intro)”
JMan on da beat! >>> Great rhymes, even tho a typical-soundin’ mainstream beat, here… Still, gotta luv tha rhymes you bringin’ to tha table! My Rating: 3.7


02. “WGBT” feat. NBA YoungBoy
>>> Just like how it was when I was witchu, as you were playin’ me your tracks! “We Gonna Ball Today”! Great shit, includin’ how energetic you are wit dis! Great hook, great energy, great wit what you bring to tha table, here! Glad that you got to collab wit YoungBoy, but I don’t feel him as close as err-body else; way too overrated! Still, definitely nice, despite his rich/typical rhymes… My Rating: 4.5


03. “Move For The Money”
I’ono… >>> Not into all tha “money” tracks, so this kinda ehh fa me… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it sounds good wit your rhymes, at least. Glad your rhymes ain’t shitty, despite tha “money” hook… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, too; ehh, it iz what it iz… My Rating: 3.2


04. “Trip 2 Cali” feat. Pacman Viccz & A1 Yeezy
>>> Not really feelin’ this typical-soundin’ track; sounds like every mainstream track… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & I just wanna skim through this track… Fuck! Tha shit not playin’, right nah; my fuckin’ iTunes…! Got it back up; here you are on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some betta rhymes… Liked your faster rhymes on tha No Limit 2 Cash Money CD betta than this, but it betta than that 1st verse, tho! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse from this Yeezy dude and he sound betta… Not too bad, overall, but that 1st verse & this mainstream vibe kinda got me like, hmm… My Rating: 2.7


05. “Lit Up” feat. Kevin Gates
JMan on dis beat, too… >>> I’ll admit, Gates sounds pretty good on this one, despite me bein’ iffy wit tha fast rappin’… Still, he brought a nice street vibe fa you fa this 2K18! Also, nice hook; great collab! Decent lil’ typical-soundin’ mainstream beat, too… Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse and it sounds good ta hear, too… My Rating: 4.4


06. “Getcha Shine On”
JMan on da beat… Accidentally heard it on tha previous CD… My Current Rating: 3.9


07. “Cashmoney” feat. Joey Bae
JMan! >>> I like how this one sounds, if this gotta be tha best-soundin’ JMan track… I know it ‘bout “money,” but it “Cashmoney,” here, like Cash Money! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice wit what you bringin’… Fastness, “money,” ummm…, good, tho… Tha rest of this pretty nice, too; good shit, overall… My Rating: 3.6


½time: Kinda in-between wit my feelings fa this, here… Looks like tha big-featured tracks were tha ones fa me, despite me not really goin’ for ‘em… Only a 3.7-rated CD, so far…


08. “Madness”
>>> Sounds pretty nice, on tha hook, even tho a mainstream-soundin’ beat… Decent, overall; can’t really say much… My Rating: 3.0


09. “Doors Up”
JMan… >>> Likin’ how this beat sounds; sounds like an intense movie finna be recorded in tha streetz! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s good wit your regular-soundin’ rhymes—well, big livin’… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty good, too; good shit… Tha 2nd verse soundin’ nice wit what you bringin’, too; keep bein’ “flawless!” My Rating: 4.3


10. “She Tatted” feat. Shi
JMan, here… >>> Sounds like an attempt at makin’ a club banga but this singin’ voice, on tha hook, sounds like an Internet-sampled track or somethin’…! Hearin’ you rap on this and, damn, you gotta go wit tha Cardi B flow? Damn; lemme make this quick! Too mainstream-y fa me…! My Rating: 2.5


11. “How You Want It”
Hitz, here (Young Hitz, I assume?)… >>> Yup, this our Young Hits/Hitz, but this beat start kinda not for me… Ugh, why a trick? Not-listed singer on tha hook? Kinda ehh but I’d rather go with a negative perspective than a positive one… Hearin’ you rap and it’s ehh; not for me, this time… My Rating: 1.3


12. “Ol’ School”
JMan, here… >>> Has a good screwed & chopped vibe fa tha 2K18, here, on tha hook… Kinda likin’ how tha soul mixes wit tha S&C sound, here! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it has an interestin’ soul/ballin’ mix fa this slowie… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, too, soundin’ okay, too… My Rating: 3.4


13. “Reasons” feat. Doe_XO
JMan, once again… >>> I think this’ll be an okay/good collab… Kinda likin’ tha hook from Doe & what you got goin’ on, here… Sounds like it could be bigger than expected? Well, maybe based off that hook… Hearin’ you rap and, I’ono, but this fast-rappin’ shit always throws me off… Not everyone iz Twista!! Still keepin’ tha fastness goin’ throughout tha 2nd verse… I like how you have some man-made sound effects, like, “BOOM!,” ya dig? My Rating: 3.8


14. “Changes 2” feat. Lydia Paek
>>> Don’t wanna hear Tupac, remade, slowed down… Nice try, good lyrics, but not my cup of tealicious tea…! Even got tha same lyrics/vibe on this hook from this Lydia… Ehh, don’t wanna leave anymore feedback but props on comin’ “from nothin’!” My Rating: 1.7


Overall: Thought it was gon be betta but I guess this where tha mainstream comes to kick my ass… Still, a few tracks stood out fa me, so at least one of ‘em’ll be featured on my 2018 year-end countdown, comin’ January 7th!

R.I.P. Video #62: Shizz Dollah



Completed on November 15, 2018 (Louisiana time), in honor of DJ B-Real's birthday.

Broadcasting from tha Council Cup Scenic Overlook, here in Wapwallopen, PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog, here, sadly reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community.

Jonathen Bates, known by his stage name, Shizz Dollah (formerly Yung $hizz or $hizz), passed away on Thursday, October 25, 2018, of a heart attack; he was only 27 years-old. Bates was just a teen when he was 1st featured on Baton Rouge rapper, Big Blaze's 2008 song, "Got It Made". Bates and his bro, Doe (or, Jon Doe, D.O.E., or Doe_XO), started releasing music under tha label, True Greed Entertainment. They released their collection of 2009 tracks on their 2010 release, Effect Vol. 2: Welcome To O.A.K.L.A.N.D.. In 2011, Bates signed with Baton Rouge rapper, Foxx's Milliyone Musik & released his first solo mixtape, The Chosen One, Vol. 1, in 2011. In 2012, Foxx presented Bates' A.D.I.D.A.S. release. In 2013, Bates released P.O.L.O. Vol. 1 (Players Only Live Once), as well as N.I.K.E. Vol. 1 (Nigga I Kill Everything). In 2015, Bates put out his This What I Would've Did 2 Yo Shit mixtape. In 2017, Bates collaborated with Baton Rouge producer/rapper, DJ B-Real & released Look What You Made Me Do, Vol. 1, on B-Real's Pay The Producer Production & Bates' Blocc Society Entertainment. In 2018, his final release, Look What You Made Me Do, Vol. 2, was released on B-Real's Pay The Producer Production. Just one day before his untimely death, on October 25, 2018, Bates was featured on Baton Rouge photog-editor, Johnnie Domino's Baton Rouge Battle Rap league, BR2, in which he battled AMG Case. Bates won tha battle, 3-0. Bates celebrated his 27th birthday, earlier on September 28.

Ooh, Jiggalaters style, here…! Produced by Young Hits & Shonta! >>> LOL, what was up with tha beginning? It sounded like it came from a different CD… This sounds like it’s from 2003, like tha Da G.A.N.G. CD or somethin’… Anyway, I ain’t get to review that CD, yet, but I have to say, this that quality, right chea!! Feelin’ tha Baton Rouge beat with Mookie in tha intro! Also, you on tha 1st verse, here, throwin’ dat “act” right on ‘em! What tha…? Did it just cut off? What just happened? Oh, it was only 1:08; nice for a tease! My Rating: 4.6


04. “How I’m Feeling Right Now” feat. Mookie Blakk
Kinda shot… Can’t wait for next Saturday! Gon go to NY & get fulla dat shit again!! >>> A Young Hits beat, here (only one on tha back cover to not have production credit…); diggin’ tha beat, as it reminds me of Shonta! Great sound, here, includin’ tha hook! Gotta luv how you comin’ through on tha 1st verse: “‘Bauds out tha cleaner;” you already know!! I still wear mine; only true Gs like us wear Girbauds, still!! They neva age!! Fuck all those clothes dat err-body wears that’s for normal people that you can find anywhere! It’s all about tha gangsta clothes like dem ‘Bauds! Nice job wit tha 1st verse, “how” you luv your life! And, just like you said, “It’s ’09…,” accordin’ ta this, lol. Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse, and you sound tight, once again! Gotta luv how you comin’ through wit tha energy; can’t wait to party witchu one day!! It gon happen sooner or later! Can neva be sober; gotta always have some shit ta give you a boost, ya feel me?! Still can’t believe I ate a weed cookie a few weeks ago; talk about wildin’ out!! Oh, and, Mookie Blakk on tha 3rd verse (not listed on tha feature); gotta luv his energy! It’s all about tha positive shit, here, not tha shit that made me fade away from Louisiana for a while (niggaz blockin’ and not acceptin’ my promotion)! Always keep dat jigg sound alive!! My Rating: 4.7


05. “Do It Like I Do It” feat. T-Lo
Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this Jiggalaters collaboration! Wonder how T-Lo’s doin’ and if he knows about me? I have neva talked to him, before… >>> Ooh @ tha start; sounds like tha Baton Rouge shit that really got me goin’, back in tha day!! Nice shit with tha “I know…!!” Gotta luv T-Lo on tha hook and how y’all combine y’allselves on tha track, together! Gotta luv tha 1st verse, too!! Keep reppin’ hard wit dis shit!! LOL, I love how you say, “Party,” and, “Retawded;” you know!! And, here he iz on tha 2nd verse; pure 225 / jiggalatin’ shit at its finest!! Hope he still doin’ good and stayin’ consistent, without a private Instagram, if he has one!! “X-Fyle on tha track;” thanx fa dat info, T-Lo! Gotta luv this quality, once again!! “I’m tha best when I do it;” you know!! My Rating: 4.8
EDIT: Back cover says Z-Man’s on tha feature and not T-Lo? I’m confused…?


06. “Jiggalate” feat. Sam I Am
Keep it goin’, keep it goin’!! >>> Nice intro; sounds like a throwback track! Can’t wait to review that Da Jiggalaters Vol. 1 CD or whateva it iz, soon! It gon be a long while till I get to it; got so much shit to get outta my way, first! But yeah, I know this song; I think I put this on my radio show? Anyway, gotta luv tha hook that’s dedicated to “tha jiggalaters,” courtesy of Sam I Am! And, you on tha verse, here; just luv your Master P voice in a Baton Rouge perspective! Great shit, you know! Great collab!! And, nice beat, X & Shonta!! My Rating: 4.8


07. “Ain’t No Secret” feat. Sam I Am
Featuring Sam I Am, right? Not listed on here, lol… Lil’ Nu Nu on tha beat! Yeah, neva “dead;” tha “Jigg City” sound stays alive! However, one thing I have to disagree with: Big Scoob’s Instagram’s private; what kinda shit’s that? Artists need to have music pages again, instead of havin’ their music name and havin’ shit private! It’s like, did they give up? Anyway, beat’s real nice, here, fa this vibe and tha hook’s nice! Gotta keep this shit alive! Here you are on tha 1st verse and it sounds pretty nice; great, ageless voice ta hold this down! Tha 2nd verse’s pretty nice, too; keep it goin’, bruh!! Of course, once again, gotta luv tha hook! “Blowin’ loud;” all day!! Get ta smoke wit tha chicks, now! And, here’s Sam on tha 3rd verse; glad y’all keepin’ dis Jiggalaters shit alive! Gotta always be connected and neva separated from makin’ music! Of course, great aggression and jigg’d up, as always!! My Current Rating: 4.6


08. “Smile Baby” feat. Lemelo & AD Future
Back cover says, “Hottest Thang Out Here,” as its title… X-Fyle on tha beat… You already know I do a lotta smilin’ while I’m high! >>> A lil’ softer, here, as well as a long length of 4:47? I’ono if I can fuck wit this, includin’ this gay-soundin’ Kanye voice in tha background of tha beginning… Anyway, let’s see how tha verses go… Tha hook’s first, and it’s aight… Sounds good from you on tha 1st verse, as always, but I can’t take tha background vocals, at all…! LOL @ “her like flies on shit;” fa’real!! Prolly could’ve been right under tha 4.0 if there were no gay background vocals, but not everythang gon be perfect in a review… Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, here; you can make a love song good, at least… LOL, a feature on tha 3rd verse? Not sure who this iz, so I can’t give ‘em credit? Almost sounds like I know who they are… As far as this verse, it’s decent… My Rating: 3.3


½time: A lil’ iffy with tha song I just listened to, but for tha most part, this CD’s that pure fiya I was expectin’!! Glad you keepin’ dat jigg sound alive, as always! Those tha anthems I really luv and that’s tha environment I’ve always embraced with Baton Rouge and shit like dat, since I was 19! With that bein’ said, this CD’s worth a 4.5 fa me, so far!! Keep up tha great, loyal features and production!!!


09. “Lift Up Off Ground”
Without tha “The,” lol… >>> X-Fyle doin’ tha beat, here, and tha sample/intro sounds pretty anticipatin’!! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s real nice, especially ova this beat!! Luvin’ this unique beat, includin’ its dark theme!! Great job droppin’ this shit; keep this shit goin’!! Nice lil’ talkin’ interlude on tha 2nd hook, here; get it off yo mind!! Ooh, good, a 2nd verse; almost thought it wasn’t gon fit… This verse sounds good, too; can’t deny it… My Rating: 4.5


10. “Life Of A Jiggalater” feat. Sam I Am, T-Lo & Big Scoob
I always choose to spell it like “Jiggalater,” not “Jiggalator,” lol… Anyway, a title like this gets me anticipated; can’t wait to hear! >>> Here comes that Shonta sound in tha beginning; whoot, whoot, whoot!! “I’m rollin’;” yeah!! Sounds like some throwback-kinda Baton Rouge music, here; gotta luv it!! Nice hook; keep “rollin’,” dawg!! “Chewin’ like a billy goat;” lol, great way ta start tha 1st verse off! Nice rhymes, here; gotta engage in dem fights!! Ooh, Sam I Am came outta nowhere fa tha 2nd verse!! Sometimes, moments like this iz why I luv when features are not listed; it’s a nice surprise!! LOL @ tha “Tylenol” reference, Sam; you know!! Iz dat T-Lo on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse? Sounds like it; fuckin’ love him and what he brings!! “I will neva retire;” please, don’t!! Always stay active, despite me almost neva hearin’ you make tracks, that much…! LOL, mo Baton Rouge features on tha 3rd verse, here; not 100% sure who it iz… It either one of those Jiggalaters or someone else… LOL @ my confusion; gotta luv tha jigg perspective they bringin’ to tha table!! Sounds like Boonie? LOL, neva mind, it’s “Big Scoob;” grazie!! Almost wanna put Da Jiggalaters as tha feature, but I’ll leave it as everyone’s names. Once again, nice appearance, Big Scoob, but unprivate your IG!! B-Real ruined it fa err-body wit dat shit and I just wanna poke fun at artists fa doin’ that!! Also, you gotta take a trip up ta see me!! Too bad you ain’t make it before my radio show ended, three years ago! It made me feel like my show wasn’t worth what it was, and made me feel better that my show ended… My Rating: 4.6


11. “Wake Up”
“How may I wake up your Friday?” That’s what I was sayin’ 100x today, earlier at work! Gotta luv how I built a reputation off of dat and my energy! >>> X-Fyle on tha beat, here; sounds like a hot beat intro…! Ooh, a lil’ on tha faster side with tha kicks, too, in tha beginning! “Take a nice shit…;” that’s what’s up! That’s what I did during tha Baton Rouge Music Company review, yesterday! Gotta be real as much as you can, without any shame!! Gotta luv dat original hook; keep it goin’!! Tha 1st verse sounds great, here; nice, consistent rhymes! Oh wait, only one verse, lol? Still sounds great; would’ve luved to hear more of tha hook, though… My Rating: 4.5


12. “Real-Ass Nigga” feat. Lil’ Boonie & Nu$$ie
I remember this one from a while back… Reviewed it all tha way back in ’08 on tha Featuring Nu$$ie CD, despite it actually bein’ from ’06. LOL, no features listed on this CD’s appearance of this song and spelled “Niga,” instead; lol? Produced by Z-Man, here’s what I had to say, back in ’08:

“Dude in tha beginning wit all that “ya heard me” shit just goes to show you Baton Rouge in tha building, ya heard me! Pretty nice start so far wit that hook and that not-so-bad beat. Tha 1st verse on this was nice; love tha underground sound!! I’m hearin’ that Boonie on tha 2nd verse now… I barely heard him so I didn’t know what to expect his voice to sound like. He sounds cool and I guess he’s tough/trill if “he lets his nuts hang” without givin’ a fuck; great 2nd verse and once again, lovin’ this underground shit! Good, it’s *imitates him* “Nu$$ie!!” on tha 3rd verse! I like that “you don’t know me, so I ain’t dappin’ you” part. Great verse and I’m likin’ those “card” parts at tha end of his verse. Great lil’ combo here!”

At tha time, I only rated this a 4.1. I don’t think I really appreciated Louisiana as much, at tha time. Song’s way better, to this day! Beat’s pure from Z-Man and you bring that Baton Rouge sound to it at all times! Just gotta luv how you have 100% Baton Rouge in you!! My favorite place for rap; don’t wanna regret it, despite me dealin’ with issues, currently! As far as Nu$$ie, once again, I feel like him at my job. It’s like, if I was to die like him, I know my job’ll always think of me every single day!! My Current Rating: 4.7


13. “Tell Me” feat. Lil’ Variste
LOL, production listed in tha ID, here (X-Fyle); let’s see what we got here… >>> Soundin’ pretty nice wit tha beginning beat, here! Nice hook, D-So! “Yes, I go dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb!!” You know!! Nice job wit tha 1st verse, too; definitely jammin’ ova this beat, ya heard me?! And, tha 2nd verse’s nice, too; just luvin’ this beat!! So much energy in all those sounds!! X can surprise you, at times!! A feature on tha 3rd verse, here, from “Fairfield;” I’ono who it iz, but they sound tight! Feelin’ tha aggression in tha voice! Sounds like a 2010s jiggalater for Da Jiggalaters or somethin’! Consistent energy!! Consistent aggression!! Consistent jiggalatin’!! Consistent, pure fiya!!! My Rating: 4.7


14. “I’m Coming Thru” feat. Lil’ Koon, Lil’ Boonie & Big Scoob
Oh, now, we have everything listed? X-Fyle on tha beat; interestin’ collab! Don’t recall if I’ve eva heard Z spit, before… >>> This X-Fyle beat’s a lil’ slower, but prolly more street sounding? Still has that Baton Rouge vibe to it… You’re on tha 1st verse, here, and it sounds pretty nice; glad you “got tha game from tha OGs!” Tha hook sounds pretty good; reminds me of a random Baton Rouge song I would review… Boonie on tha 2nd verse? I don’t think; I think it Z-Man, despite me not knowin’ tha voice… It just makes me think it’s him and it sounds pretty hot; great shit! Keep makin’ pure tracks!! LOL, tha 3rd verse, here (Boonie?); lol, I’m confused again! Either way, this shit’s definitely nice!! “On dem jiggaz;” gotta luv it! Oh, more switchin’? Wow, a 2nd part of tha 3rd verse, and it’s supa-fast!! Definitely sounds nice wit these fast rhymes!! Can anybody keep up, lol?! And, a long beat outro, here… My Rating: 4.5
EDIT: Feature on tha DatPiff file says Z-Man’s featured, instead of Big Scoob? I’m confused again, lol…?


15. “Gobblin’” feat. T-Lo & Lil’ Boonie
*Imitates gobbling sounds* LOL! BTW, “Goblin” has only one “B” in it, but I gon keep tha two “B”s ‘cause of gobbling = “Gobblin’,” with an apostrophe, lol… >>> A long joint with 5:05 on tha length… I like hearin’ your, “Okay,” in tha beginning; gets me hyped up! Heard a “Cadillac” tag or somethin’ from a female? Anyway, definitely diggin’ this hook as it’s just a “Gobbler” sample on tha hook, lol… LOL, iz that Lil’ Wayne and his “goblin,” lol? Funny… Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some G-shit; gotta luv it! “And, if you violate a G, you get a visitation;” yessir!! Ooh, “Mr. ‘All Day’,” a.k.a. T-Lo’s voice before tha 2nd verse!! What’s his Facebook name, if he has one? Hearin’ him on tha 2nd verse and “lyrically, [he squashes] ‘em;” whoo!! Mane, you gotta luv this dude!! He definitely makes this jigg sound sound real nice, with a gangsta twist!! Definitely worth my five minutes, here! Uh oh, anotha voice… Did I catch it right? I gon say it’s Boonie; sounds like it… Here he iz on tha 3rd verse and it’s pretty nice; iz he still locked up? LOL, as soon as I wrote, “Lil’ Boonie,” on tha feature, here, he said his name; you know!! Can’t wait ta kick it wit y’all, one day!! And, he confirmed: “Z-Man on this track;” dope!! Great collaboration, once again; y’all definitely did a nice job!! Oh, and tha beat tag at tha end gave it away, too… My Rating: 4.7


16. “Livin’ That Life”
Yeah! AD Future beat… >>> Sounds like a nice vibe, here; a lil’ slower than tha usual vibe, which makes me take more interest, for tha moment… Tha hook sounds pretty good, here… Here you are on tha 1st verse, jumpin’ “off tha porch at 15;” nice. You doin’ a nice job wit tha 1st verse, here; keep this shit goin’! Got you on tha 2nd verse, here, “certified hard hitta;” you know!! My Rating: 4.3


17. “On My Mind”
Yup… Koon On Da Beat beat… >>> Definitely a nice beat start with a random voice that sounds familiar in tha background, here… Even though this sounds nice, this tha kinda shit that kinda poisoned tha rap game, fa me (“money”-obsessed shit). I got robbed twice from BR artists; after November 17, 2011, it was a wrap fa “money” shit, fa’real! I feel like I got raped or somethin’, but don’t care now ‘cause I’m a big, walking middle finga ‘cause of gettin’ taken advantage of! Anyway, you got a good 1st verse, here; it ain’t that bad, despite this content… Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good, too. Props on havin’ a lotta valuables, at least… My Rating: 4.1


Overall: Other than #8, I really enjoyed this CD a whole lot!! You had your Jiggalaters family on here and tha production was definitely A+ and pure, as always!! You really doin’ a great job wit keepin’ dat pure jigg sound alive fa tha 225!! Fuck what all these otha dickridin’ dudes thinkin’ about dick-suckin’ Mista Cain and all dat! Bein’ a music leader and all dat, I’ve always showed luv to those that don’t get a super-crazy amount of recognition. Mista may be undaground and all dat, but there’s way too much attention on him, which makes me have a lower chance of puttin’ my attention toward him; he’s got others! Anyway, don’t listen to what people wanna criticize you for! You’re 12 ½ years younger than tha chick I get high, smoke & hang with, so think: You ain’t agin’ any time soon, D-So!! Keep up tha great work!! I’ono what else ta say, but you definitely made me continue to embrace tha Baton Rouge sound, no matter what I’m goin’ through!!
