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. "Here's What They Think About You (Interlude)"
Instead of an intro, it starts off wit an interlude. Let's see… >>> Aight so far. Didn't hear much, but I wonder what'll happen when I hear this mixtape. My Rating: N/A
Break: 12:00 AM – 1:11 AM: I edited tha songs so that they're not so large in file size and put all tha information to tha songs so I can add 'em tomorrow. That was my 71 minute delay. Now back to this thang!
02. "Re-Up Gang (Intro)"
Okay now we got an intro… >>> "I Hustle" beat iz on this. It's 4 minutes, 32 seconds? Ain't that kinda long? Looks like this gon be for tha streetz. I hear a verse. "Needless to say" I will ALWAYS love that saying eva since I heard an Electronica/Rap song from 2003 (on Music Choice Electronica) from PH10 & Pete Meiser called "Needless To Say" and when my Psychology teacher would always say that. I hear one of tha dudes from The Clipse on tha 2nd part. I don't know who was tha 3rd dude, but tha other dude from The Clipse iz on tha 4th. Yeah tha 4th part was tha best on this joint! What an intro! My Rating: 3.8
Break: It's 1:17 AM right now, and I finna go to sleep. I gotta check tha Music Choice Rap airplay (and update it which takes 20 minutes from a 6 hour taping by me). I gotta get to sleep 'cause I got college tomorrow at 8 AM, and I got a test at 10. I'm HOPING to hang out wit my boyz Jewison, Juice & Rosco tomorrow! My rappin' grandma's also coming up! >>> Aight I hung out wit Rosco for an hour and Jewison for an hour (but not Juice). I had tha chance to go to tha mail wit Jewison, but I had to go to my Senior Seminar (which went bad 'cause a few people were jokin' around wit me and it sounded/looked real gay)!! It's 11:03 PM, and if I don't write much, it's 'cause I'm currently making my My Favorite Current Rap and R&B Songs of February 2008 video.
03. "Show You How To Hustle"
Aight then show me! >>> Good organish beat. I guess Clipse are a part of tha Re-Up gang (since I heard dude on tha 1st part). Good shit and good rhymes, especially from Clipse! My Rating: 4.1
04. "Roc Boys"
A freestyle? >>> More like their own version 'cause it has their own hook too (which iz good). Yeah good shit right here, especially tha hook. My Rating: 3.9
05. "20k (Intro)"
Let's see how this 20,000 gon be described? >>> I dunno about tha 20,000, but that Clipse member had a pretty good message. My Rating: N/A
06. "20k Money Making Brothers On The Corner"
Looks dope. Iz it gon be about drugs 'cause of that great title? >>> I like tha line about 8 Ball & MJG. Yeah this iz soundin' like some great shit. Sounds like a sample in tha hook. Good tho. Reminds me a lil' of N.W.A.. Yeah hot shit, especially when that Clipse dude spit at tha end. My Rating: 4.0
07. "Dey Know Yayo"
Iz it gon be a reversion of "Dey Know"? >>> Lol @ tha "a coona matatta" (sp?) line at tha end! Yeah this shit good shit. My Rating: 4.3
08. "500 Birds (Interlude)"
Lookin' forward to this interlude! >>> Good advice. My Rating: N/A
09. "Scenario 2008"
Yeah "here we go yo." >>> Nah I thought I was gonna be on tha right track, but this was tha Ruff Ryders beat from early 00's. Good shit (includin' that hook)! My Rating: 3.9
½time: I'm VERY TIRED as fuck!! I'm goin' to sleep and continuing this tomorrow! >>> I'm back, and kinda waitin' for my boy Jimmy The DJ to call me back (I was gonna start this again 20 minutes ago, but when I know I'm gettin' a call back, I slack off here and there). It's 10:40 PM.
10. "Good Morning" Feat. Kanye West
Let's see this joint… >>> I was just about to say "that sounds like Kanye," but I think this was his joint at first. I was feelin' tha 2nd part of tha 1st verse tha best, but still sounded great. Just they should've excluded Kanye's part. It doesn't fit IMO. My Rating: 3.9
11. "Rainy Dayz"
Iz this gonna be slower… Better not be tha Mary J/Ja Rule beat. That's like wayyyyyy tooooo old for now. >>> Beat sounds like a nice old school beat. This would be tha shit I would really like hearin' at my college. This iz just tha right vibe to their tastes. That Clipse dude definitely spittin' some good shit during tha 2nd ½ of tha first verse. Yeah I mainly feel tha shit from Clipse, but those other dudes in tha Re-Up Gang spit good shit too. My Rating: 4.0
12. "Emotionless"
Okay what's goin' on here wit tha Jim Jones beat? >>> Real good shit on that beat. All of them did they thang on this. Real tight rhymes! My Rating: 4.5
13. "Fuck You"
>>> Intro sounds like some random online underground shit I'd hear… More good shit. Good rhymes and good hook. My Rating: 4.2
14. "Bring It Back"
Gonna see what's up wit this one. >>> Was gonna guess tha Weezy beat, but naw. Tha Funk Flex/Jae Millz/Jadakiss beat. Good rhymes again, but I don't really like that hook. My Rating: 3.7
Intermission: Jimmy The DJ hit me back right when No. 14 ended, so we had a good conversation.
15. "Cry Now"
I think this gon be a jacked beat, but I forgot which one… >>> Why iz there like a few seconds of nothing in tha beginning of each joint? Oh yeah this was Obie Trice's song. Tha 2nd verse was definitely tha best. Real great shit. Gotta feel tha rhymes at all times. My Rating: 4.2
16. "Sand Solo"
Looks like some real good shit for No. 16! High AL! >>> I guess this just Sand (I guess that's his name) as tha joint. This just a freestyle, so it's not bad for me. My Rating: 3.7
17. "Liva Solo"
Aight let's see who's solo joint was better… >>> Yeah slightly better freestyle. My Rating: 3.8
18. "Real Niggas"
I hope it's original shit (since it's tha last). High AL for it. >>> Not original… Tha beats are mixin' so that's cool. I like tha really hot rhymes back n' forth. Tha one part wit that dude from tha Clipse that said some shit like "we'll split tha difference" All tha shit before that line (and including that one) was real hot. Good shit right here wit all that shit back n forth once again. My Rating: 4.3
Overall: End Time: 3.01.2008 @ 11:49 PM. Yeah great rhymes. Tha beats aren't my style tho. Plus, there were a bunch of jacked ones as well. Tha Clipse surprised me to be on here 'cause I didn't expect them/know that they were a part of tha Re-Up gang!
