79rs Gang – 79rs Bout to Blow

This should really read happy Fat Tuesday but I was too late to post yesterday – actually not only am I a day late, I am an entire YEAR late because I missed this 79ers Gang wave that The Martorialist AND Crimedawgbylaw both generously tried to make me aware of last year. I even read Martorialist’s post on it and we may never know why but for whatever reason I never clicked the play button – arguably one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made to date because this is a legit Mardi Gras choon and a half.

Fast forward in time and I see Crimedawg has it as his #6 song for 2020 and it was high on Martorialist’s list as well so I decided I needed to finally go back in time and see what I was missing. All I can say is that this is fire and without much else going on and lockdowns and bleak weather persisting, what a perfect way to celebrate Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras, just imagining I’m marching through the 7th and 9th with Big Chief Jermaine and Big Chief Romeo. I’m loving the beat with the live instruments, the hook goes, first verse is fire, second verse is fire, and you know what – I’m also loving the positive subject matter.

“I’m a young big G from down in New Orleans, and I be ringing them drums and them tambourines, I use needle and thread to sew my soul, on the Mardi Gras morning I be all brand new”

“I’ma rep the 9th ward til I’m six feet deep, but I be repping 79ers when I’m running the streets”

I can absolutely relate to Big Chief Jermane walking around the neighborhood and musing “Walk around the 7th ward got a lot on my mind, got a lot of stuff to do but I ain’t got time.”

Birdman x Juvenile – Back Then 

The Juvenile/Birdman reunion tour is back again and now they’re 3 for 3. D-Rock with some nice production again. I’m not going to front I’m not feeling this one as much as the first two but it still goes. This might be the longest and best verse Birdman has rapped in years and his hook is fire. Would I be getting too greedy asking for a fourth installment in this series?

“88 in the projects we had it all, 100 g’s of bake flake we cook it all, block bumpin, we real niggas, we kill em all”

“Cops pulled us over they was looking for a job wanted to know if we were hiring?” That’s definetley a power move when cops are pulling you over trying to get a job with you, but in Cash Money’s prime, they definitley didn’t need a cop as a bodyguard when they had BG with them!

P.S. Whose the dude sitting next to Birdman in the car?

Juvenile, Birdman ft. NLE Choppa – Dreams

I’m ABOUT this 2019 Juvenile resurgence. I would have been a happy camper after just JAG but this new ‘Dreams’ joint is a nice unexpected surprise. Juve comes through and delivers again with another fire hook. He’s turning into 2019’s unexpected hook god.

It was only a matter of time before Birdman and his cohorts got in on this rapping over acoustic-sounding beat that guys like Lil Baby and Gunna have been making hits with. (Great beat by D-Rock here yet again, after a nice beatjack/update of Too $hort’s Dope Fiend Beat on JAG as I learned from Martorialist. I’m not too familiar with him but maybe he’s Birdman/Cash Money’s new in-house producer which based on his showing thus far I would certainly welcome.)

While JAG was just Birdman and Juvenile, here, they link up with Birdman’s latest protege NLE Choppa, he of ‘Shotta Flow’ and it’s 2 billion views fame, giving this a circle of life effect as one generation of Birdman cronies passes the torch to the next. Choppa does a decent job of holding his own here and proving he’s worthy of standing alongside a legend in the game like Juve. Birdman’s verse was predictably mediocre but he’s the money man putting these all together so I can’t complain. I wish Juvenile did a verse here instead of just the hook but the hook is good enough that I can’t get greedy. C’est la vie.

Last time around, Birdman was showing off his art collection of questionable quality to some sort of female curator/critic, this time he’s showing off his taste in animal-themed topiary on the grounds of his sprawling estate to a group of lovely ladies, because he’s Birdman.

Let’s hope that there’s a part 3 to this series.

So Baby and Juve delivered and the full song of this actually came out now.  Juvenile is sounding like he’s at the top of his game; we need him to get back in the studio and at least make one of those 7-track type albums that Kanye was churning out last summer for his artists. I’m welcoming this Cash Money resurgence, it’s a shame BG is still locked up and couldn’t jump onto this with a verse. Not sure who the producer is but this beat knocks hard.

It seems that Birdman’s entire art collection is other famous paintings (or figures) wearing red bandanas, because of course it would be. Also, what’s the deal with this woman at the end of the video that Birdman is trying to put onto art-world game, some type of collector or curator? I wonder what type of art-world knowledge Birdman is lacing her with. Or he may just be trying to hustle her into buying one of his paintings at an inflated price or selling him one of hers that she wants for a lower price BELEEE DAT PLAYBOY.  She’s definitely not one of the video vixens.

P.S. Whose the dude at 3:24 is that Birdman’s older brother Terrance Williams?

Juvenile ft Birdman – Just Another Gangsta (Snippet)

I could definitely go for some new Juvenile in 2019. I’m sure Birdman’s ‘feature’ will just be him saying a sentence at the end at most but this still sounds pretty fire (I didn’t realize Juvenile was still rocking with Birdman maybe this is to repay a debt or something but hey I’ll take it). Not sure if/when the full song is coming out but let’s keep our fingers crossed that they don’t just tease it and then let it go to that big snippet graveyard in the sky. Lmao @ Juve sounding like an old suburban dad talking about how one man’s trash is another man’s treasure in his verse here but it’s actually kind of a wierdly dope line and the chorus sounds beastly. Juve can always make a hit no matter what year it is.
