EDIT: Found out that it's officially Dee Survivor Presents The Survival Camp "Eye 4 An Eye" tha mixtape.
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. I wonder how this mixtape gon start off… >>> I was just about to say, I have a feelin' there's gonna be tha mixtape title in here, and it iz! What I expected: "Eye 4 An Eye" tha mixtape. Tha intro iz kinda long wit a slow beat, so I hope this leads to some hot shit! My Rating: N/A
02. Lemme not waste anymore time, and just get into tha 1st joint on here. Lol @ it being shorter than tha intro. >>> Shit tha "Candy Shop" beat scared tha shit outta me. Decent, but too short. My Rating: 3.0
03. Even shorter? >>> Don't tell me this whole thang gon be jacked beats 'cause if it iz, I'm just gonna feel like shutting it off! My Rating: N/A
04. "Born N Raised" beat. >>> Why tha 18 second intro? Sounds like tha title iz "Gettin' This Bread"? Tha rappin' sounded good, so I give it credit to that. PLEASE no more jacked beats! After yesterday's mixtape, I HATE songs wit jacked beats now!!! My Rating: 3.5
05. I didn't recognize tha beat intro. Iz that gonna be a good thing? >>> I really like tha beat, even tho it sounds jacked. Where's tha hook? Pretty good rappin'. Just didn't like that there was no hook. My Rating: 3.7
06. Another "shortie" (small length)? >>> That dude sounds like B.G.…. Looks like I might like tha next joint! My Rating: N/A
07. Spaced-theme intro? >>> Good not a jacked beat when "someone" iz on tha track. Decent hook, and good 1st verse. Dee Survivor had a great 2nd verse. Can't give it a 4.0 or higher rating right now 'cause I don't love it on a first listen. Pretty good tho. My Rating: 3.9
08. Curious to see what's next. Only 2 minutes flat. Looks like it's gonna be a jacked beat. Uh oh… >>> It's not, but it sounds like a shitty East Coast beat. Sorry. Could be pretty good lyrics by Dee Survivor, but this izn't tha type of joint that I'd feel. My Rating: 3.2
09. Okay what's next…? >>> Tha beat iz a lil' better, but still decent. Nothin' special. Gotta take what my mom says: "as long as it has a good beat, I'll like it." I go for beats, then vocals, then lyrics. In this case, this joint wasn't all that for me. My Rating: 2.7
10. >>> Dee Survivor, you sound cool. However, you sound like you should be rappin' on beats that are harder. You're from Louisiana, so I expect better beats. My Rating: N/A
11. Number 11 already… >>> How odd I was thinkin' of "My Chopper" (Joe Hound, Dre & C-Ride), and looks what comes up… C-Ride no less beat to "Pushin'". Nice line: "try to be on top like a mah'fuckin' sky nigga." Decent, but not mind-blowing. My Rating: 3.4
12. Got no AL (anticipation level) so I'm unsure of what's next… >>> Wow what's wit tha bad singing/hook/beat? I don't really go for tha songs that have real lyrics (like wit some of tha East Coast stuff). Sorry. My Rating: 1.4
13. 42 seconds of what? >>> Sorry, this iz not an underground classic. Not ONE song so far I loved (wit at least a 4.0 rating). My Rating: N/A
14. >>> Lol @ that laugh. What's wit tha stupid East Coast sounding jacked beat? Nothin' special. Just rhymes. My Rating: 1.5
15. Finally a longer song… >>> Sounds better on tha beat, but for some reason remindin' me of "bunny-hoppin' music" for some reason. It's all good tho. Good hook (luckily). Beat iz pretty good throughout tha song, and tha rhymes keep it goin'. Yeah, "had to bring tha flames to tha game." Just bring tha flames to tha beats also! My Rating: 3.8
½time: Not so interested in this. Sorry… I guess it just doesn't target me. I got tha other 15 jointz to peep out tho. I don't expect much, and I don't have any anticipation (mainly prolly 'cause of no tracklisting)…
16. >>> Short interlude. My Rating: N/A
17. Okay hopefully no more under 3.0 ratings on this mixtape. Let's see it make an increase… >>> BEST beat so far!! Pretty good rhymes and hook. Finally, after 17 jointz, an actual good rating. My Rating: 4.1
18. Okay what's after that hot joint… Can tha consistantness continue? >>> I almost thought this was a jacked beat 'cause it sounds like "In The Hood" by Trae & Yung Joc. Tha "soft like muffins" line was tight. Aight this joint sounds good. Nice consistantness of this and No. 17. As long as tha songs sound like a combo of this and No. 17, things could look good for tha end of this mixtape! My Rating: 3.7
19. Okay we got another interlude… >>> Sounds like we might have 3 consistant jointz 'cause that's a pretty tight beat goin' on for No. 20! My Rating: N/A
20. Hope it sounds good! >>> This iz more of a freestyle. Decent, but I wouldn't say it's that consistant enough to be consistant. My Rating: 3.6
21. Another 42 second interlude… >>> Ya'll soundin' like ya'll havin' a good ol' time in that interlude. Hopefully this track at No. 22 sounds good. My Rating: N/A
22. And… >>> Beat ain't that good for me… This iz better than about ½ tha songs on here, but just okay. My Rating: 3.3
23. Looks like another song… >>> Decent beat. Better than some of tha shit on here. I actually like tha hook. Pretty good. My Rating: 3.8
24. What's next…? >>> Dee Survivor interlude. New single "Ackup" coming up next. Hope it's good. It better be "hot shit"! My Rating: N/A
25. Hope tha new single sounds good!! >>> I hope one day I can get an "N.O. fitted." I might get one one day, and it might be special (more info on that in tha future in 2008). Tha beat to this iz pretty good. Good hook, and tha beat iz startin' to sound better as I'm hearin' it. This was good. Nice lil' jam right here. Feelin' it. My Rating: 4.0
26. An interlude again. >>> Lol @ those gunshots! I have tha same ones downloaded on my iPod. My Rating: N/A
27. Oh no tha beat sounded slow… >>> Yup this took a nose-dive to tha mixtape. Sounds like No. 14 w/o tha laugh. My Rating: 2.0
28. More interludes huh? >>> If this mixtape was better, and I loved it, I'd hit up that number (just like tha dude I reviewed yesterday). My Rating: N/A
29. This iz prolly tha last song. I'm assuming since ya'll love interludes, ya'll prolly made No. 30 an outro. >>> Gotta quote this line "this ain't MTV, but our cannons finna wil' out." Not really feelin' tha beat. This iz better than No. 27 tho. My Rating: 2.6
30. Wow 5 minutes, 20 seconds for tha last one? >>> Sounds a lil' like Wes Fif. Yeah "SC be tha army," but this iz just makin' me fall asleep. This was a boring way to end tha mixtape. My Rating: 1.6
Overall: End Time: 11:53 PM. Aight there was improvement since tha ½ point, but this wasn't for me at all. I didn't really like this mixtape, but ya'll keep grindin'.
