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!

01.
"Charlemagne Intro"
Lookin' forward to hearin' these rappers, and tha intro! >>> That beat sounds familiar/real hot in tha background. Intro sounds good. Definitely lookin' forward to hearin' these rappers. My Rating: N/A
02. "Ol' School Chevys"
Time to start off wit tha first joint. Got a VERY HIGH AL (anticipation level = AL) for this 'cause of 1.) new rappers to me 2.) real good title. Let's hear it!!! >>> Got tha "Air Forces" sample in it. Beat iz tight. Flowin' iz tight. Great song to jam to. Hopefully one day in tha future I could ride to it while driving. I have my license, but I ain't got a car (I feel like I'll neva will get one 'cause my dad tends to lie about gettin' things to me on time). Great first song on tha mixtape! My Rating: 4.4
03. "Full Throttle"
Looks good. Can it sound good? Lemme find out! >>> Feelin' tha beat. It sounds like a different type of Nitti beat. Really feelin' that hook, and tha rhymes sound great. Definitely feelin' this underground shit a lot!! I have a feelin' this mixtape gon be real good just by these first 2 jointz. I think if I heard correctly, I think tha dude in tha hook said "I scratch off (scratch off), like tha lotto (like tha lotto)." If that's so, then that line really caught my attention 'cause I fuckin' love scratch-off lottery tickets! I'm 19, and I've been playin' 'em since I was about 10. On March 26, 2001, at 2:45 PM, I went to tha "gas station" (just like part of tha title of tha mixtape, lol), and I asked tha guy "what number iz tha ticket?" He said "004." That means there's only 4 left, so I bought tha 4, and on No. 003, I won $200 on a $2 scratch-off!! Tha same effect, only better, happened to me on August 28, 2007 @ 12:35 PM. My mom told me to go into tha "gas station" (lol) to give tha guy $30. I give him $30, and when I get out, I find a few tickets. One of them was a $200 winner, and I was so fuckin' happy!! By tha way, this song was better (slightly) than tha first one. My Rating: 4.5
04. "Boy Stop"
Oh one of these saying as a title huh? I originally should've disliked that saying at first 'cause these dudes I was tryin' to hang out wit always said that, and I could never hang out wit them in their dorm room last semester 'cause this one dude would kick me out sadly, but now, yesterday, I went in their room (without 2 of tha previous dudes 'cause they graduated), and I didn't get kicked out (thanx to me showin' tha dude that I can type 94 words per minute). Let's see how this song'll translate… >>> Lol @ tha girl. Lol @ tha "I'm tha shit like diarrhea!" OMG that's so funny! Yeah go girl! A good laugh right here, and I didn't expect it. I didn't expect to like this a lot. Tha rhymes were good tho by Shod B & Pistol Pete. My Rating: 4.4
05. "1 4got"
A "4getful" title (lol; j/p). If it's one thing I didn't "4get", it's doin' tha review to this, and doin' a review every single day this month (in honor of Black History Month). Let's see what comes outta this joint. >>> Nice and slow. Tha hook pretty good too. Sounds like it's screwed. Yeah pretty good. Due to I am diagnosed wit Autism, I definitely don't "4get" things (especially dates and numbers). My Rating: 3.9
06. "South Cak Savage"
Cool title, and let's see what's up wit this "South Cak Savage"… >>> Almost thought it was a whole interlude, but it wasn't. Nice different girl on tha hook. Sounds pretty good so far. Nice rhymes. Feelin' tha 2nd verse wit all them things about numbers in tha beginning. My Rating: 3.7
07. "Still Blowin' Purp"
I was just about to say, tha mixtape iz called "Smokin' At A Gas Station", so where/when's there gon be a joint/anthem mainly about smokin'? Well it came pretty fast, so yeah, definitely lookin' forward to this wit a High AL!! >> I guess ya'll really like Young Jeezy (as I do too) 'cause this iz another Young Jeezy sample. Yeah purple iz tha "capital color" of drugs (whether it's smokin' or drinkin', purple iz involved. This joint sounds pretty good. My Rating: 4.1
08. "Palmetto Classic"
Let's see how classic this gon sound on a first listen for me… >>> Long intro, but pretty good beat for tha long intro. 56 second intro. That's prolly tha longest I've eva heard on a mixtape (2nd longest was Natureboy Rowe's "I Rap" at about 26 seconds). Good to have that long intro. Like tha title when it's in tha hook. Gotta "live everyday like tha Palmetto classic." My Rating: 3.7
09. "Stuntin N' My Caddy"
Accidently heard tha beat intro, so I know it's "Stuntin' Like My Daddy" as tha beat. Definitely wanted to hear somethin' else over that beat, so now here it comes. Lookin' forward! >>> Tha hook sounds better actually as it's "stuntin' like my caddy" instead of "stuntin' like my daddy." Rhymes are good, and it just makes this joint sound good too. Nice lil' rework of this. My Rating: 4.2
10. "Charlemagne Speaks"
Let's see what this dude has to say. I guess he rolls wit tha click of Shod B & Pistol Pete. >>> Good lil' intermission. My Rating: N/A
11. "And U Know This Man"
What's "this", man? >>> Long song at 5:07. Sounds slow. Likin' tha lil' intro where it says "roll up". You do this for Mike Jones? Are ya'll related or somethin'? Kinda slow for me, and it's sayin' "and u know this, man" in tha background too much. Yeah this can pass for me… My Rating: 3.0
½time: Really was feelin' that start to tha mixtape! It's goin' pretty good so far. Curious to see what's next!
12. "Stay Clean"
Thanx to that title, I gotta get some shit off my chest right now: I be stayin' fresh, ya dig. I'm rockin' a nice fresh light blue polo wit fresh blue girbauds, ya feel me. However, when I go to my college, I do get respect. However, there's this dude Ray-Mack that has beef wit me. He tries to look all cool and shit. However, he was wearin' pajamas when I saw his ass today. WTF/ROFLMMFAO!! How does that dude get respect? A hoodie, a du-rag, AND pajamas DO NOT mix at all, ESPECIALLY for someone 20 years old. What kinda swag iz that? I stopped wearin' pajamas at 12. I got tha swag, and people at my college tend to underrate it. Anyway, lookin' forward to hearin' this one! >>> Sounds like a high-pitched beat of "The Pocket" by Tabi Bonney. It also sounds like a lil' mix of Dee-1's "Priceless" for tha beat. Okay on tha 1st verse. That hook iz kinda not what I expected. I expected somethin' better (I didn't really expect tha screwed sample). Pretty good at tha ending tho on that last verse. My Rating: 3.8
13. "Ovaboard"
And how "ovaboard" iz this joint gonna go (if it does happen)?? >>> Tha length definitely didn't go "ovaboard" since it's only 2:29. What's up wit tha ol' school West Coast beat? I like it tho. I like when rappers say tha word "dawg", and I really like that 2nd verse from whoeva did it. They said "dawg" like 3 times. Good job on that verse dawg. My Rating: 4.0
14. "Drank N' Dro"
Every rapper's favorite combo pretty much, lol. Gonna definitely feel tha subject matter, so you know I got a High AL for this! >>> Now it's a "3 Kings" sample (Slim Thug's first line in it). Too bad this joint was short. It was good tho. Feelin' it. My Rating: 4.1
15. "Myspace"
Oh no that title… >>> Thumbs down to that hook! It sounds pretty much EXACTLY like that 334 Mobb one from last year (especially tha flow). Good line for "that bitch got more game than a fuckin' Parker brother." Okay tha hook sounds better, and tha verses were aight. I thought tha 334 Mobb was better. I can't rate this that high tho. My Rating: 3.2
16. "Lexus Music"
Let's hope No. 16 sounds good 'cause it's usually a special one for me! >>> Lol… "Caprice Musik" beat. Pretty good first verse, but I didn't want this song to be over a jacked beat. How odd I liked tha "Myspace" song better… My Rating: 3.1
17. "Best Thang"
Hopefully this iz tha "best thang" since No. 14! >>> Why tha "Make Me Better" beat? This was unnecessary. My Rating: 1.5
18. "Da Ol' Ball Coach"
C'mon now this a good title. It BETTER NOT be a jacked beat! We need this mixtape to continue wit tha heat!! >>> Good for tha singin' tha title of tha mixtape on this joint! Nice smooth beat. Already better than 15-17. Kinda slow, but still good, and tha verses were pretty good too. I don't really care for that 50 Cent line in tha 2nd verse (I think it was tha 2nd verse) as I don't like 50. My Rating: 3.5
19. "Ihoppin'"
What's this joint about? >>> Tha beat reminds me more of somethin' Hell Rell would be on. Nice hook. Feelin' it, especially tha girl on it (this like tha 3rd different girl). I feel like tha line "I'm tha shit like diarrhea" iz tha No. 1 line throughout tha mixtape (which I keep hearin'). Glad to hear somethin' a lil' better now. My Rating: 3.9
20. "Charlemagne Outro"
Outro already? What's tha other 3 jointz after this?? >>> That sounds like a good title for tha next one! My Rating: N/A
21. "Anotha Song??"
Who would've guessed. I thought it was gonna be a bonus song (or titled "Bonus Song??"). Anyway, let's see what this iz all about. >>> Oh no this ain't a song. Don't tell me tha 50 Cent "I Get Money" type of joint iz next… My Rating: N/A
22. "I Get Money"
>>> Sorry not really goin' for this. However, I'm hoping to come out wit a mixtape this year, and if so, I'm prolly gonna use jacked beats. However, wit tha jacked beats, I wanna try and find mysterious beats (where most people wouldn't know what tha original beat iz). I guess I should say tha 3rd verse iz good wit this. At least that kept tha rating from bein' extremely low. My Rating: 2.2
23. "J O'Neal"
Iz this a song? *Checks length* Yeah it iz at 2:45. How we gon end this?? >>> Another jacked beat, but I don't mind this one 'cause it's "Mr. 17.5". At tha end, when it does tha hook, it no less mixes tha flow type wit K-Riley's "Dat Boi Cold" (when Gucci Mane iz on tha hook to that song). But this was aight. It didn't really catch on to me. My Rating: 2.8
Overall: End Time: 11:49 PM. I really liked tha beginning of tha mixtape, but I'm sorry, I didn't really feel most of tha 2nd ½. I give these boyz props tho for puttin' a nice lil' mixtape together tho. Just try avoiding tha jacked beats! Keep creatin' songs like tha ones I rated high, and you'll do great, IMO.
