Wat tha deal iz… It's yo boy Frankie checkin' in again. Happy Valentine's Day. Tonight I'm reviewing this joint by Sleepy called "The Prototype II: The Second Coming". I wonder how it's gonna turn out… Props to my boy Jimmy The DJ for sendin' it to me! Start Time: 11:03 PM | Video Game Playing: Tony Hawk Pro Skater (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!

reviewed on 2.14.2008 & 2.15.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. "Prototype II (Intro)"
Time to set tha bar on tha AL (anticipation level). Hopefully it's a good intro. >>> Tha background beat reminds me of Dee-1's "Priceless" beat. Yeah kinda long intro, but yeah, curious to see what this gon sound like. My Rating: N/A
02. "2nd Coming"
Not just "2nd coming", but it's also tha "2nd joint" on tha CD, lol. How'z this gon start off? >>> Sounds more on tha underground side of thangz. That's cool. Slow start to tha beat, but it sounds pretty good. I might not write much 'cause when I'm playin' Tony Hawk (for Nintendo 64 right now), I have to have both my hands together while workin' tha controls, so it's hard to play it. Anyway, pretty good hook and not bad for a start. Feelin' it. My Rating: 3.9
03. "Showtime"
Feelin' one of Weezy's latest jointz by tha same name. Will this be as good or have good competition wit tha Weezy joint? Lemme find out! >>> I didn't know you was from H-Town. I thought you was from Louisiana. Definitely feelin' tha rhymes on this joint, and tha hook iz pretty good. Yeah I know I feel Weezy's better, but this iz good. "I remember all tha old dayz when I was always picked last." This iz a true quote to me, and sadly still iz. When it comes to ANYTHING related to sports, I'm ALWAYS picked last no matter what; it pisses me tha fuck off! My Rating: 4.0
04. "I Can't Stop" Feat. TIG
First collabo. Let's hear this joint. >>> Decent beat, but not catchin' onto me that much as tha previous 2 jointz. My Rating: 3.6
05. "What That Do"
… >>> Sounds a lil' better. Decent start. Right as soon as tha 1st verse ended, I liked that "what-what-wha-wha-what-wha-what!" Sounds jammin', especially all tha times he says "what that do." My Rating: 3.8
06. "Baller Baby"
ller? Shouldn't it be more like lla? Hope it sounds good either way… >>> Yeah I pretty much like this tha same as No. 5; good hook and great rhymes. Beat iz also pretty good. I think I like this one better than No. 5. My Rating: 3.9
07. "Be Like Ya'll" Feat. B-3
Somethin' tells me I'm gonna really like this one for some reason… >>> Not what I expected… Sounds aight to me, but not what I anticipated. Tha rhymes are soundin' great. I just think some of these beatz need to be a lot hotter/better. My Rating: 3.6
08. "Interlude"
I'm tired as fuck… But I'm surviving, lol. >>> Wasn't really feelin' it. Tha idea of tryna be funny ain't workin' for me for some reason… My Rating: N/A
09. "5th Of Lick" Feat. Trally Boy & TIG
Iz this gon be a joint for tha ladies? >>> I like tha beat. It reminds me of one of those "squeeze toys" you buy for your dog/cat/mouse, lmao. Yeah throughout tha mixtape I've been feelin' tha rhymes all tha time. Hook iz pretty good too. My Rating: 4.2
½time: Nothin' mind-blowing, but pretty decent so far. Nothing has been disappointing as well.
10. "Can't Knock Tha Hustle"
A Jay-Z title originally. How will you do wit tha title? >>> A motivating song. Of course good lyrics, but I was almost about to say this has no interest in me. However, I seem to be gainin' interest by slowly hearin' tha rest of it. My Rating: 3.7
11. "Chillin' In Da Lot" Feat. Concept & Black Sheep
This better be good/somethin' I REALLY like 'cause of tha title! >>> Ya know I like tha hook. Definitely sounds more H-Town (or should I say "H-Than") style. Had a good feel to it. My Rating: 3.8
12. "Separate Ways" Feat. eSOULreal & Joi
You spelled "separate" wrong on tha tracklisting, lol. Anyway, I dunno what to expect wit this one… >>>> Smooth joint. Not my style, but soundin' good on Sleepy's handz (including tha girl in that). My Rating: 3.1
Break: 12:13 AM. Aight I can't stay up. I gotta get myself to catch some ZzzzzzZzzzz's. I'll finish this off tomorrow. >>> Aight I'm back, and it's 6:42 AM. I'm up so early 'cause I got college starting at 8:00 AM.
13. "Party Out" Feat. Big Fav
Looks good, so let's see how good it iz. >>> Beat iz cool so far. Good hook, and good 1st verse. Good 2nd verse too. This joint better than most of these jointz on here. This was jammin' all tha way through 'cause even tha 3rd verse was good. Great continuation start to this CD. What was wit tha 10 second silence at tha end? My Rating: 4.3
14. "Pop That" Feat. Concept
Another party anthem back 2 back? Lookin' forward to hearing! >>> Expected a "pop that pussy" type of song, but it looks like it's more on tha gangsta side of thangz wit a "pop that AK" type of song. I'm definitely feelin' it tho. Tha beat iz cool, especially during tha hook, but I thought that 2nd verse bored me for some reason. I dunno what exactly it was… I guess it was just tha continuous flowin' or somethin'. My Rating: 4.0
15. "Already"
Okay… what'll come out of this joint…? >>> Tha beat iz better so far on tha intro. Feelin' tha hook, and feelin' tha beat more! Definitely a jam right here. This CD seems to be pretty consistant eva since I went to sleep/woke up. Yeah Sleepy did his thang on here. Looks like this my favorite joint (unexpectically too) on this CD! Str8 up jammin' wit tha flow, lyrics, and everything about this. My Rating: 4.5
16. "It's Goin' Down Pt. 2" Feat. TIG
I know this whole CD has been original. I'm just hoping it's not wit tha Yung Joc/Nitti beat in tha background. I'm sure it ain't… And it's No. 16, so it must be good! >>> It's an original beat, and pretty decent so far. Not bad. "Take a brick to tha face, it's hard to swallow." Quoted that line 'cause it was good. It's still jammin' right here. My Rating: 3.9
17. "What Ever Happened" Feat. Joi
I expect a slow joint… >>> Yeah this kinda slow for me, but tha beat iz pretty good and I'm feelin' Joi on tha hook. I didn't expect this to be this good, but it was. Good job Sleepy & Joi. My Rating: 3.7
18. "Easier"
I think tha slowness iz gonna continue for this last joint. Let's see if I'm right. >>> Slow start, real lyrics, real life story, but I'm feelin' it. Tha hook iz aight, but like I said, I'm feelin' this song wit tha real life lyrics for some reason… I like tha "fuck you, it's just that easy!"'s. Yeah it ain't that easy to say "fuck you" to someone in my case, but you betta believe I do say it a lot behind someone's back. My Rating: 3.6
Overall: End Time: 2.15.2008 @ 7:18 AM. Not bad for this CD. Tha beginning was a lil' average and then it got a lil' better towards tha end.
