Watz good back again wit another review today. This iz tha 2nd one I'm doing today, and right about now, I finna review my boy Young Capone's new mixtape wit DJ Wizkid "1,000 Grams Straight Drop". I'm lookin' forward to hearin' some new shit from Young Capone, and wit 30 jointz on tha mixtape, this finna get anticipating! Start Time: 5:27 PM | Video Game Playing: Donkey Kong 64 (for Nintendo 64) (on my computer)


 







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 or have auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!


© 2008 CD Review (Review #39) reviewed on 1.26.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "Intro"
Let's see how we finna start this thang off… >>> Yeah looking forward. This ain't that old iz it 'cause that beat in tha background (Plies "Got 'Em Hatin'") iz from '06… My Rating: N/A


02. "Go Hard"
Hopefully this joint goes hard, and it gives me a High AL too! >>> Sounds pretty good. Feelin' tha verses over tha hook. It goes harder than tha Wes Fif/3AM song wit nearly tha same title. My Rating: 3.8


03. "Gettin' Money"
I predict that this song'll be better than tha previous song! Let's see… >>> Not bad for a start, but I dunno about being a 4.0 or higher rating… Good verses tho, and feelin' tha hook. My Rating: 3.9


04. "How 2 Hustle" Feat. Pain
Good title, now let's see if it's a good song… >>> Not bad on tha hook, and good on Young Capone's verse. Pain's verse was pretty good. Good collabo ending verse. My Rating: 4.0


05. "Man N The Trunk (Freestyle)"
Looking forward to a freestyle! >>> It sounds like there's a hook in this or somethin'. Doesn't sound like a freestyle, and he sounds like Lil' Scrappy on this. It still was hot tho. My Rating: 3.6


06. "Look @ Me"
>>> Pretty good beat, and another pretty good hook. I think he said that "CB chillin'…what mo can I say…" part too much (it shouldn't've been in tha hook). Still jammin' tho. My Rating: 3.7


07. "This Is How We Do" Feat. Gucci Mane, Yola Da Great & GMB
Look at this collabo! High AL on this! Looking forward!! >>> Shawty Redd on tha beat, and sounding good! 5:34 – nice length! Good first verse by GMB & Gucci Mane! Gucci did better tho. Good 2nd verse by GMB & Young Capone! Yes Yola doin' his thang on tha 3rd verse! Hope he's doin' better! GMB havin' a continuous part on tha 3rd verse (since he covered all 3 verses). Good collab! My Rating: 4.3


08. "Speaks"
Let's hear what tha boy Capone has to say… >>> Keep doin' yo thang. My Rating: N/A


09. "Hood Rich" Feat. MP Click
Let's see this collabo. Back 2 back collabos! >>> Not bad. Sounds aight. My Rating: 3.6


10. "I'm A Rider" Feat. Bohagon & MP Click
Oh this iz gonna be a good one. I got my bets on it that it iz. High AL. >>> Sounds like a Play-N-Skillz beat wit a Chamillionaire type of hook. I really like tha hook tho! Like when Young Capone says in tha hook "I can't see, I'm fucked up." Real good verse by Bohagon, including tha real good line "I'm tha shit, I'm a sewer, my kush stinkin'." My Rating: 4.5


11. "Actin' Bad" Feat. Nitti & Jermaine Dupri
Tha "power-pack" collabo for Young Capone right now ('cause he's signed wit JD and I mainly know him for Nitti beats here and there). Lookin' forward to this! >>> *Takes a 3 minute break to get a drink and a cinnamon bun…* Cool beat, even tho there izn't much to it. Pretty good verse by JD, and great hook by Young Capone. "I keep a young bitch blinkin' like a hazard light." Nice line by Capone on his good verse. My Rating: 4.1


12. "BoLegged" Feat. Fabo
*Before looking at tha title, Frankie takes an 11 minute masturbation break…* *After tha break, Frankie gets his dinner, soup*. Aight let's see tha title: okay I dunno about this one. I hope it's not a "snap" song… >>> Nice beat. Sounds like a mainstream single (for tha future). Fabo was kinda repetitive in tha beginning. Lol @ that Fabo line "like a terrorist attack, she be killin' 'em dead;" that was nice right there. This song didn't disappoint me luckily. My Rating: 3.8


13. "Put On"
Well let me "put" it "on" then… >>> Not much to say about this. This iz decent. My Rating: 3.4


14. "My Wheels (Freestyle)"
Looking forward. Hope it's good! >>> "Got her wetter than a Nile." "Caribbean pimpin', I'm on a whole 'notha island." Yeah that was tight. My Rating: 3.7


15. "Speaks"
Part 2… >>> Yeah man. My Rating: N/A


½time:: Not bad so far. I guess I'm gon be takin' a long break right now 'cause I finna eat this soup (it doesn't look that good either). I wonder what's next… *Takes a 25 minute break*


16. "Neighborhood Superstar' Feat. Webbie & Yo Gotti
Have I heard this before? It looks familiar, but if I haven't, it looks real tight. Good thang for havin' these 2 as featured artists! High AL again!! >>> Beat iz tight. Yeah I think I heard this somewhere… I just have no clue where… "Titties like balloons, and a butt like a bubble" maybe I haven't heard this before 'cause that line iz real good, and I don't remember quoting it. Including that line, Webbie did it big. Yeah Yo Gotti also had a great verse. My Rating: 4.2


17. "Dope Game"
Yes a drug song! >>> Sounds like a Lil' Wayne sample, and sounds like a "Stuntin' Like My Daddy" sample (if I'm correct). If so, shit, tha last mixtape I reviewed also had a "Stuntin' Like My Daddy" sample. Wow, lol lol lol. It's real good tho. Nice beat. Good job on this joint. My Rating: 4.3


18. "Check Me Out" Feat. MP Click
Anotha MP Click feature presentation. >>> Sounds like a Mouse beat. Nice hook, and defining tha definition of "cool". Pretty good. My Rating: 3.8


19. "I'm Dat Dude" Feat. Lil' Boosie
Ooh can we keep this consistancy going? I got a VERY HIGH AL 'cause of Lil' Boosie! Hope this meets my expectations! >>> Ooh yup! Real nice beat, and tha hook iz tight. Yeah Boosie went first, but smh… He's NOT tha "Wipe Me Down" cat. Foxx iz Mr. Wipe Me Down Boosie… SMH… Still good verse by Boosie tho. Speaking of tha title, who's "dat dude" on tha 2nd verse?? Or should I say dudes? Good 2nd verse tho! My Rating: 4.4


20. "Betty Crocker"
And what could this be about…? >>> Oh another name for a drug. That's cool I guess. I like that "back in high school I used to keep it in my locker." Tight for an under 3 minutes joint. My Rating: 4.2


21. "Street Nigga" Feat. Pain
Damn this 2nd part of tha mixtape has been on fire! Can this keep it goin'? I hope so wit that title that I like. >>> Real tight beat, but tha repetitiveness through me off a lil' in tha beginning of tha hook. Nice line by Pain "if I get shot, I'd prolly be concrete." Tight joint. My Rating: 4.1


22. "Down Here" Feat. T-Roc
Iz this T-Roc from "I'm Hot" or iz this T-Rock from back in tha day? It prolly iz tha "I'm Hot" dude, but let's see… >>> Ooh a Marvelous J production! And a 3 and a ½ minute song! Ooh more gangsta style! Yeah I expected it. It sounds like tha T-Roc from "I'm Hot", and also sounds good again! Love that hook! Oh wait iz that T-Roc on tha 3rd verse? I'm confused, but it's still good anyway. My Rating: 4.4


23. Pain "G Shit (Freestyle)"
Another one of these, and another feature wit Pain. >>> Tha beat iz tight, and sounds familiar. Oh shit I accidently shut off Donkey Kong 64, and I didn't save it. I thought I lost shit, but I didn't luckily. Thank God! Pain doin' his thang! Actually it was not a feature. It was just Pain. My Rating: 3.8


24. "Dope Boy Money" Feat. Dirt Montana
Let's see what this one gon be like… >>> Ooh another tight beat. Yeah nice hook too. My Rating: 3.8


25. "On It" Feat. Big Kuntry, Big Gee & Princess
Ooh looka this collabo! Young Capone definitely workin' tha mixtape! High AL! >>> Ooh wow a HOT Don P beat! Definitely lookin' forward to hearin' this! 4+ minutes! Big Kuntry iz DEFINITELY a great rapper. Definitely did his thang too. Wow this beat iz on FIRE! Definitely tha best one on here! Usually I bash on beats that have rock in tha background and/or that try to go wit tha "rock trend", but this iz tha shit!! Princess did her thang! That was different/good that she got on this joint. Big Kuntry murderin' that hook! My Rating: 4.7


26. "U Smell Me"
Yup. Can u keep tha mixtape goin'? >>> Rockin' tha Polo. I gave my cousin some money 2 dayz ago to go get me some more Polos (I have only one currently, which I got, and was my first, on January 21, 2008). "Call me 'sold out' 'cause I got a lot of shows." Not "direct it like Hype." Direct it like Frankie instead (I'm a VERY good director/editor when it comes to that shit). My Rating: 4.0


27. "Beat It Up"
Switchin' to tha pussy? >>> That lady on tha hook sounds hot, and yeah, switchin' it to not just a female song, but EXACTLY tha pussy! Tha beat iz good too. Yeah "shake them hips like Shakira!" Always love tha girls that have hips that don't lie! My Rating: 4.1


28. "I'm The Shit"
Yes you are! Especially during this 2nd part of tha mixtape! >>> Not bad. Who's on tha 2nd verse? And on tha 3rd? Iz it tha same dude? Anyway, once again, not bad. My Rating: 3.5


29. "Like Us"
>>> Good beat intro. Oh shit real nice electronic beat! Gotta luv tha electronicness! Great way to end tha mixtape! Young Capone be on his grind lately and unexpectically (haven't heard any of these jointz or seen them on any of my sources). LOVE when Rap and Electronic music FUSE!! Great on Young Capone's part! My Rating: 4.4


30. "Outro"
Expected an outro. That's why I said on tha previous joint "great way to end tha mixtape!" Anyway, let's see how we OFFICIALLY end tha mixtape wit this: >>> Yeah great way to end it! My Rating: N/A


Overall: End Time: 8:05 PM. Wow how impressed I am. It went from aight in tha beginning to just FIYA at tha end! Wow there were so many bangerz at tha end! Two and a ½ hours I've been here reviewing this.
