EDIT: Forgot to mention how HOT
tha mixtape title iz: “From Crumbs 2 Brickz” iz a REAL TIGHT title!
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 2.16.2008 & 2.17.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. Reno Da Gutta “Pyrex 4 Intro”
Looking
forward to hearin’ tha intro! >>> Didn’t expect tha rappin’ freestyle.
Sounded good. My Rating: 3.6
02.
B-Real & LaKeith Feat. Kevin Gates “Trap All Day”
Already
a song that looks real tight! Great title, a 3-way collabo, and a length of
5:07, so you know I definitely got a High AL for this joint!! >>> Beat
iz decent, and hook iz decent. I expected it to sound a lot better… Yeah that
hook iz supposed to be real hot. I just gotta catch onto it. I really like tha
2nd verse. Okay yeah it sounds a lil’ better now. I mean, definitely gotta feel
tha “trap” songs. My Rating: 4.1
03.
Neff & 38 $lim “Bubblin’”
What’s
wit tha ID error? It should be 38 $lim, not 38 Slimm. Anyway, will this joint
be more “bubbly” than Colbie Caillat’s? I hope they did their thang on this!
>>> Too bad it’s a jacked beat. Tha hook makes it very “bubbly” tho.
Good 1st verse. That was pretty good. Not bad for a jacked beat. My Rating: 3.7
04.
Foxx “Wipe Me Down”
Yeah
Foxx did get pretty big in 2007, but it wasn’t what he expected. “Wipe Me Down
(Remix)” was claimed Lil’ Boosie’s song, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO ME, I source
thingz tha RIGHT way, and when tha remix was out, I sourced it as Foxx Feat.
Lil’ Boosie, Webbie & Mouse “Wipe Me Down (Remix)”. Either way, tha remix
blew up like crazy. When tha hell iz another Foxx video comin’ out? Foxx, come
out of tha forest! Anyway, lemme re-hear tha original. >>> I like tha
“wipe me down”s in tha hook better than tha remix. Tha second verse was pretty
good. I mean, it’s Foxx. Foxx ain’t disappointing at all. Like tha “niggaz
hangin’ out tha window like a child” line. If this was tha first time I heard
this song, I would’ve NEVA guessed it would’ve
blown up tha way it did (and it happenin’ to be tha remix). This (tha remix)
also won tha award for Best Urban Club Banger on my 2007 Awards. My Current Rating: 4.2
05.
Wino-O Feat. Paul Wall “Pop My Trunk”
I’m
surprised I neva heard this joint… >>> Of course I like tha hook wit
that sample (R.I.P.)! Nice Paul Wall part! “Tall as a giraffe.” My Rating: 3.9
06.
Young Ready Feat. Level & Zeus “Knockout (Bow)”
Looks
like a fight song. Will be lookin’ forward to seein’ what it sounds like!
>>> Pretty good hook and beat. Tha flowin’ iz real good, ESPECIALLY
Level, who just wilded out on this joint! My
Rating: 4.1
07.
Jigga House Feat. Max Minelli “Parkin’ Lot
(Remix)”
Got
a High AL ‘cause of Max Minelli! >>> This iz tha hottest joint on here
so far! This iz EXACTLY what I was thinkin’ No. 6 was gonna sound like: a fight
song. This iz a fight song right here (especially that hook). Really like that
hook, especially when Max Minelli comes outta nowhere. I like those lil’
interludes/skits at tha end of most of these jointz. My Rating: 4.4
08.
3Deep “Slide Sumthin’”
Didn’t
know 3Deep had older shit than “Watch My Shoes”. VERY HIGH AL!!! >>> A smooth/quiet beat.
Sounds nice. Looks like Lil’ Phat iz on tha 1st verse. Lil’ Phat always looks
funny to me wit his grill in his mouth. Either way, his verse was pretty good.
Who was on tha 2nd verse? It didn’t sound like Shell. Speakin’ of which, my boy
Shell iz on tha beginning of tha hook. Yeah my dawg Shell on tha 3rd verse!
Even tho there’s lots of interludes/skits at tha end of each joint, they
should’ve had one at tha end wit Shell on it. My Rating: 4.5
EDIT: I think by listenin’ to
tha other 3Deep song on here that it’s Souljah Boy on tha 2nd verse, but I’m
not officially sure.
09.
T-Lo Feat. B.T. & Yay Boy “Get Off”
Almost
thought this was tha same joint from tha other Pyrex Radio mixtape. Let’s hear
this one and see what it sounds like… >>> A good Nitti beat. I almost
thought it was gonna be a jacked beat I knew, but this iz soundin’ hot! “Mind
frame iz built up wit ocktane.” Great hook. This a jam right here! Great
flowin’ too. My Rating: 4.3
10.
Terror & J.R. (Down Bad Ent.) “Calm Down”
Cool
that you got a dude from Down Bad Entertainment on this. Can this joint keep
tha consistentness goin’? I hope so! >>> This iz pretty tight, and I
like that line at tha end “I earned my stripes, and I got more than a zebra.” My Rating: 4.0
11.
Max Minelli “Colors”
Let’s
hear it for Max again! High AL!
>>> Decent start, but gotta feel it. I thought I would feel it more,
but it izn’t what I was anticipating. Hook sounds like “cordless” when I hear
“colors” so many times, lol (just like wit my “Put Your Hands Up For Long
Island”, it sounds like “pu’chanza”, lol). My
Rating: 3.8
½time: Pretty good so far. Tha
other mixtape was better tho. It’s 12:08 AM, and I finna go to sleep. I finna
continue this tomorrow morning. >>> Aight back at’cha at 11:55 AM on
2.17.2008. Lemme continue this bitch!
12.
Nu$$ie Feat. Kevin Gates “Crack”
Yeah
this joint betta be “crack” and even better, it better talk about “crack”. Its
got Nu$$ie on it so you know I definitely got a High AL for it!! >>>
Forgot when I heard tha 1st second last night that it had that HOT dark piano
intro! That line “I bleed for my niggaz before I bleed for myself, but still in
all I feel they don’t appreciate tha help.” Good beat. Sounds good. Shit during
tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse, it sounded like a fuckin’ ringtone. It tricked me,
lol. I thought that was my phone ringin’, but it was tha beat. Real nice ending
by Nu$$ie wit tha gun part. Goes to show you Nu$$ie iz vicious and that nobody
should fuck wit him tha wrong way! My
Rating: 4.2
13.
Kevin Gates Feat. Yung Sicka “Game In Stiches”
Another
Kevin Gates joint back 2 back. This iz prolly his song this time. Good title,
so another High AL for this joint! >>> A better beat! I like tha hook
a lot, especially tha “more hustle, cocaine” line. Tha lyrics are REAL good on
this too! They’re at least tha type that’s NOT boring and that I can feel. Yeah
Yung Sicka definitely did his thang on this too! This iz Pure crack part 2! My Rating: 4.8
14.
Savage “Suicide”
I
swear, when I take a break and continue, it seems like tha HOTTEST jointz come
outta nowhere wit tha beginning of my continuation of tha review! Savage on
this joint, so definitely a High AL wit a good title! Definitely wanna hear
what’s goin’ on wit this joint!! >>> Yup very good beat. LOVIN’ THIS
CONSISTENTNESS!!! Yeah “fuckin’ wit u it’s suicide!” My Rating: 4.6
15.
Savage Feat. J-Von & Rudye “Get Sized Up”
Oh
never mind what I said at tha end of tha last joint. That was J-Von at tha end
(I just didn’t hear clear enough). But yeah, MORE ANTICIPATING shit right here!
Lovin’ tha back 2 back shit! Another High AL!! >>> Real good beat intro!
Sounds different, and I’m lovin’ it. From 0:21-0:25, that was unexpected. It
went from that high surround voice to crunkness! Pure crack Part 4 right here
definitely!! Great verse by Savage again! Sorry Savage, but J-Von beat you on
this joint. His verse iz EXTREMELY VICIOUS! Really feelin’ this! REAL TIGHT
rhymes! My Rating: 4.5
16.
Sam I Am “Like Dat”
I
hope this doesn’t destroy tha consistentness wit that short-ass length it has
(2:13). Better be good, ESPECIALLY since it’s No. 16!! >>> Wow it just
went into tha hook so fast. Yeah this iz some good shit right here!! Too bad
for tha short length. REAL nice beat!! KILLIN’ it on tha flowin’!! It’s
OVERWHELMINGLY great!! Sounds a lil’ like David Banner mixed wit some HOT SHIT
on tha beat! It actually was only 1:55 ‘cause there’s a phone thing at tha end.
PURE CRACK Part 5! BEST CONSISTENTNESS on ANYTHING (prolly ties wit tha Rocko
Da Don “Swag Season” mixtape ‘cause that was EXTREMELY consistent)! Pure
CRUNKNESS right here! Speaking of crunk, right now I’m playing Quest 64 (for
Nintendo 64) on my computer, and tha last time I played it on my computer in a
big way was during tha first 4 months of 2004. That’s when crunk was REALLY
buzzin’ pretty hard a lot, so I’m glad this crunk joint came and did its thang
(even tho this shit iz from 2006; it still gave me an ‘08 feel)!! My Rating: 4.7
17.
Young Ready Feat. Foxx “Triple C’s”
I
see a Part 6 right now wit tha PURE CRACK! High AL ‘cause its got Foxx on it!! >>>
Yeah good shit right here! FUCKIN’ lovin’ this! No wonder it’s Paris Hilton’s
birthday today! She blessed tha end of this mixtape! Happy birthday Paris
Hilton! Foxx definitely soundin’ good on his verse! Tha hook starts off simple,
but gets better. Gotta love it, especially that beat! Yeah “it gon be a HOT
summer” for 2008 (even tho this joint was prolly referin’ to tha summer of
2007). Too bad it ended right before tha 3:00 mark, but at least C-Murder iz at
tha end wit tha phone call! Prolly tha best phone call outta all tha phone
calls on this mixtape. My Rating: 4.4
18.
A-One “I Luv Tha Streetz”
You
BETTA luv tha streetz and make this joint feel a-1 like those previous 6
jointz! >>> Definitely glad to see some slow flowin’ right now. Great
beat and great slow flowin’. Great 2 verses and pretty good hook. Too bad that
shit ended so fast as soon as tha 2nd verse ended. But yeah, PURE CRACK Part 7
wit this joint! My Rating: 4.3
Intermission: I must say, I feel bad
for that Nu$$ie joint wit Diablo & Savage “We Be Thuggin’” (from tha “Pyrex
Radio Vol. 3” mixtape) ‘cause I only gave it a 4.5 rating. I feel like that bitch
SHOULD BE RATED AT LEAST a 4.7 ‘cause that’s my shit right there, and it go
HARD!!
19.
3Deep “Stunna Shades”
I
thought I wasn’t gonna anticipate it ‘cause I thought I heard a female in tha 1st
second of this joint (thinkin’ it was a female rapper or somethin’), but naw,
it’s 3-muthafuckin’-Deep!! A VERY HIGH AL
for this!!! I KNOW this gon be PURE CRACK Part 8!! >>> Oh neva mind,
that’s Souljah Boy, not a girl, lol. Bad me. Sounds like my dawg Shell on tha
1st verse. Yeah this iz soundin’ great. It iz Shell according to him. Yes he’s
on tha fuckin’ hook!! I don’t officially know who’s on tha 2nd verse. Iz/was
Souljah Boy a part of 3Deep? If so, was that him on tha 2nd verse?? I hear Lil’
Phat on tha 3rd verse. Soundin’ tight. Definitely a motivating hook, and PURE
CRACK Part 8 fa’sho!! Good job Big Jay at tha end about tha R&B artists! My Rating: 4.6
20.
Mookie Feat. J. Geder “Come ‘N Getcha”
I
don’t know what to expect… I’m a lil’ afraid to press play right now… …
>>> Okay looks like I’m lookin’ forward! Good beat intro! Good
beginning! Sounds like old Outkast “Elevators (Me And You)” beat in tha
background a lil’. I like that girl in tha background during tha end of tha
hook. Too bad that was short. I couldn’t hear who’s at tha end wit tha phone
call, but still, this was just good enough to be PURE CRACK Part 9 (9 in a row
consistent)!! My Rating: 4.2
21.
Bloodraw “Indictment Papers”
I
knew it was someone at tha end of that previous joint that I had to have known,
and it was Bloodraw. Yeah… Real nice title. Lookin’ forward wit a High AL!
Let’s hear a 10th consistent song!! >>> Okay real good beat. Nice line
“so many dots like a nigga got tha chicken pox.” I guess “indictment papers”
are bad (according to tha end of tha 1st verse). I like to hear about surviving
tha bad, so this iz a good joint already. Yeah gotta feel tha rhymes and
everything about this joint. Nothin’ disappointing! Nice fade out. Too bad no
phone call, but yeah, that was some good shit right there! PURE CRACK Part
10!!!!!!!!!! My Rating: 4.4
22.
C-Loc Feat. Max Minelli “My Block”
We’re
down to tha end… It’s not an intro, it’s ANOTHER Max Minelli joint!! Definitely
got a High AL for this! I HOPE we can have 11 in a row!! >>> Weird
intro for me… Definitely a good hook. I hate that that weird shit iz throughout
tha beat. It sounds like “yer yer… [ somethin’ ] [ somethin’ ]…” But good
rappin’ on this. Max iz doin’ his thang on his part. Okay it sounds good, but
not as good as tha other 10. Still PURE CRACK tho, so it’s PURE CRACK Part 11! My Rating: 4.1
Overall: End Time: 2.17.2008 @
1:11 PM. Shit, after what I wrote for tha ½time (sayin’ tha other one was
better), this mixtape prolly had tha BEST COMEBACK EVA wit tha WHOLE ENTIRE 2nd
½ bein’ PURE FIYA!!! I think I might like this one better, and yeah, DEFINITELY
puttin’ this shit on my iPod! I see that Jimmy sent me Vol. 5, which iz gonna
be what I’m reviewing next! DEFINITELY lookin’ forward to these Pyrex Radio compilations
in tha future!!

record currently wit DJ Scream “Swag Season” mixtape, as that has 9 pages typed
on Word.
