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. DeTrane "Jigg City Radio Intro"
How iz this thang gon start off? >>> Yeah definitely lookin' forward to this buku shit!! My Rating: N/A
02. Lake Boyz Feat. Lil' Boosie "Big Money"
Looks like this joint gon set tha mixtape off right! I predict that wit a High AL (anticipation level)! >>> Didn't know Lil' Boosie was gonna be featured on this ('cause he's not in tha ID on tha cover). Now I gotta get adjusted to reviewing mixtapes again. It feels like it has been forever ('cause I'm so used to reviewing one a day). Very good start so far wit a real good hook. I like how each line in tha first verse has "nigga" in tha beginning. That's somethin' different 'cause you usually hear sometimes tha same word at tha end of each line (like "ya dig" or "man" for example). I can't imagine spendin' $5,000 at tha bar and $4,000 for bitches when it comes to goin' to tha club. I feel like that's extremely too much… Oh shit that mixin' at tha end scared me… I didn't expect it. But this was a real good joint. Real good start to this mixtape (as I predicted)! My Rating: 4.6
03. Jimi Jump "To Pieces"
Just by lookin' at it, it looks like it gon be more on tha crunk side of thangz… >>> Nah not really crunk. More like tha same usual/good type of Louisiana club song I'd hear. Sayin' what I was sayin' about tha song before this, ya know how that one had "nigga" in tha beginning of each line in tha 1st verse? Well this has "to pieces" at tha end of each line (that's what I was talkin' about when I was explainin'). But yeah, hot shit right here! Even tho it's real hot, I kinda wanna avoid hearin' shit like "at tha club and there's shootin'" (or some shit related to that) eva since DeTrane and his car accident incident. Do we really need shootin' at tha club? Tha more it happens, tha more I'll neva feel like I'll eva get to a club due to stereotyping… My Rating: 4.4
04. 3Deep Feat. Mannie Fresh, Plies & Webbie "Watch My Shoes (Remix)"
Almost was a lil' worried I was gonna hear tha original, but why tha hell should I think that? This iz a NEW mixtape so tha NEWER songs/remixes are here!! >>> I remember when I first heard this joint (tha original) and thinkin' that it was aight. Then when I saw tha video a few times, tha swag and tha whole video caught on real good wit me as it did BIG THANGZ wit me. It also iz inspiring me to get a New Orleans hat (thanx to my boy Jimmy The DJ). I hear Mouse on tha 1st verse this time… Good from him. Comeback of Mannie Fresh for me on tha 2nd part of tha 1st verse… Yup his part was good too. He put tha first part of "fresh" into it. Okay Lil' Phat iz first on tha 2nd verse. Definitely sounded like B.G. wit them lyrics on his part. I liked it. Looks like tha goon iz on tha 2nd part of tha 2nd verse. Oh no more of tha "shooting + tha club" lyrics. But good part by Plies either way. My boy Shell iz on tha 1st part of tha 3rd verse. Real good that you got on a fresh polo. I got one on too (black and white wit red lines). That's also real cool about tha Pimp C kicks. Damn this whole remix iz fresh (as well as Webbie's part on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse)! Bangin'!! I feel like I like this more than tha original. How unexpected! Go DeTrane and your exclusives!!! My Rating: 4.9
05. "Jigg City Radio Break No. 1"
Okay if you say so, I'll take a quick break and go get a drink… Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I'm currently in my hometown (Long Island, New York) doin' this review. >>> Okay looks like I better get my anticipation set 'cause it looks like Max iz up next! My Rating: N/A
06. Max Minelli "U Gotta Luv Me Baby"
Tha title looks like it'll sound commercial type (like it reminded me real quick of Murphy Lee & Jazze Pha "Luv Me Baby" from 2004), but I can't stereotype it so fast! High AL and hopefully a good one! >>> Well Max, looks like you think this: Your People > Rap music. You "don't like Rap; you do this for your people." I can't 100% say that 'cause I LOVE BOTH! A lot of people love Max Minelli and consider him their favorite artist. That's good, but too bad Wikipedia won't show him luv. When you type "Max Minelli" in, nothin' comes up. WTF ? ! ? ! ? So Jimmy The DJ thinks he's tha "Nas of tha South"? If that's so, then I definitely like Max Minelli a lot, and take that compliment into consideration. Max Minelli's music iz just as good as all tha other Louisiana shit I hear. Pretty catchy hook, but not as good as tha past 3 songs on here. My Rating: 4.0
EDIT: Another error. It's "U Gotta Luv Me Baby", not "Gotta Love Me Baby". I feel like I'm in tha year 2000 wit these errors, lol.
07. Nu$$ie "Kill Something"
And another legend… High AL 'cause I want him to DEFINITELY "kill something" … THIS SONG!! >>> Yes I will listen 'cause "Savage on tha beat!" Nu$$ie sounds like a character in his voice, so I definitely can dig that. Even tho you were drug-dealin' in 1989, I was only 1 years old at tha time, lol. Just figured I'd randomly share that. Even tho I remember a lot of shit, I don't remember shit in 1989 'cause I started rememberin' a lot of shit startin' 1998. Yeah to ya'll "fakerz" out there, Nu$$ie wants PROOF! Ya gotta "kill something" in order to be real! Ya can't lie about shit! Nu$$ie's rappin' iz so good, I forget about tha Savage beat sometimes. To now comment tha beat, of course it's REAL HOT! Love them Savage beats! Gotta have those kick-ass beats that are on FIYA!!! My Rating: 4.3
08. Big Scoob Feat. T-Lo & Sam I Am "Pop A Wally"
Aight I see some people from tha Pyrex Radio series. That's watz up (tha featured artists). How will this come out? "Pop a wally" sounds like I heard it somewhere… >>> A fast beat this time. Reminds me of "bounce music" from Louisiana. This iz what it iz. Wow definitely sounds like old bounce music. That beat iz nice on tha hook. Wow. I actually just realized it samples Europe's "The Final Countdown". No wonder it's hot! Yeah unlike other artists/songs, you can't just fuck. You gotta (in a singin' voice) "fuuuuuuuuck!" Likin' all tha fast rappin', but nothin' beats that "Mystikal fast rappin'" style on tha 3rd verse! That must be Sam I Am (since he's tha last featured artist on tha ID). Good shit. My Rating: 3.7
09. D-So Feat. Lil' Boonie & Lil' Yella "Like We Jigg"
Oh no somethin' I've seen before… Tell me this was on tha last "Jigg City Radio" compilation… Nope it's not, but it has to be from somewhere… Lemme hear it… >>> ***YUP*** Just as I expected as soon as I heard tha beat. It's from "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1", only it's labeled as Nuttiochie Boyz as tha artist. DeTrane you're LATE, lol! But I think you have tha right ID (unless all of them are a part of tha Nuttiochie Boyz, then it should just be labeled that). Without copy/pasting my review from tha "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1" mixtape, I think I like this song better. That hook iz REAL hot! Love tha "ya'll niggaz can't jig like we jig, ho" (and when it sounds better when it says it again right after). Like all them girbauds parts throughout tha song, especially that whole 3rd verse (gotta have 'em saggin'). Real good 3rd verse. Just checked my rating for it on "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1". Wow I only gave it a 3.5. That must be a cursed rating at first for me 'cause I gave Dee-1's "Priceless" tha same rating, and both that and this are A LOT BETTER than that!!! My Current Rating: 4.2 (Look @ that +0.7 boost!)
EDIT: Aight got tha word from DeTrane a while ago that he himself submitted tha track to Jimmy for "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1". Thanx 4 clearing that up!
10. "Jigg City Radio Break No. 2"
I'm gonna ID it as tha way I have it instead of tha way it's on tha cover (as "DeTrane Radio Break No. 2") just so it flows right. But yeah, another break means another drink for me… >>> That beat intro to No. 11 sounds like it gon be REAL HOT! Can't wait to hear it! My Rating: N/A
11. T-Lo "All Day"
And I thought it was a 2-play for a sec.. But naw, T-Lo was on No. 08, and this iz not back 2 back, but still, let's hear this one! >>> Good for that extra intro where he checked in. Good start, even tho it also sounds familiar, but I don't think I eva heard it. I don't think that he should announce that Shante iz on tha track so many times (especially during tha hook). When I make songs and shit, I don't wanna announce that I'm on tha beat and shit throughout tha song (or have a beat intro like Nitti or Mouse in front of every song). Nitti & Mouse can keep doin' that 'cause I like it on them, but for me, and my songs (and anybody that's new to producing), I feel as tho that does somethin' wrong to tha song/intro, but that's just my opinion. I like at tha end of this "we came to han-dle business." My Rating: 4.1
12. Lil' Josh Feat. Tank Jones & Lil' Ernest "Big Fine Slim Fine"
This looks like it's gonna be tight wit those names and that title looks like it gon remind me of YYT/Mike Jones "Badd". I predict a club banger… >>> Okay it has that type of feel. More of Shante huh? When people say "fine" (for example) like tha way dude sayin' it on tha hook, I always think of Sean Paul of tha Youngbloodz or somebody wit a grill in their mouth. Looks like Shante used tha same type of sound effect throughout tha beat (throughout tha verse you could hear somethin' consistant in tha background). Yeah definitely a fuckin' huge club banger for this song, but I don't think it's anything special for me. Tha 3rd verse sounds a lil' like Webbie mixed wit Lil' Boosie… That must've been Lil' Ernest 'cause he said "Lil' E" at tha end of his verse. I feel it tho. My Rating: 3.6
½time: Definitely some real hot shit right here! I know this goin' str8 onto my iPod ASAP!!
13. A-Mar & Dyl Feat. City Boy "Bars & Apple Fanta (Remix)"
I knew by that millisecond that I heard of tha intro that I knew I was gonna know it from somewhere, and I do (only I heard tha original). So this a remix huh? Iz A-Mar actually on it, and how will that City Boy dude do? >>> I feel like everytime I see this, I think "it's okay. Why this again?" but then I hear it and I'm like "this sounds like it gets better and better wit each listen." Great 1st verse. Yeah Dyl had a great verse as well as Citty Boy on his verse (tha 2nd one). Everytime I hear "fanta", I think "fonta" (how I'd pronounce it), but I guess it's "fanta" (how it looks). Yeah A-Mar, "we need a remix," and we got one! Too bad his verse cut off too fuckin' quick. My Rating: 4.0
14. C-Loc "I'mma Do Me"
C-Loc? Sounds like I might've heard of him. Looks like a jacked beat… >>> Nope. A different type of song. Looks like I'm lookin' forward then! Lol @ tha low quality soundin'. I don't see much interest in this tho… It's puttin' me to sleep (I don't know why). My Rating: 3.4
15. "Jigg City Radio Break No. 3"
Yeah but I'm not taking a break, lol. >>> Even tho No. 16 (which iz usually tha special song for me) iz coming up, that sounds like it gon be somethin' familiar since I heard tha "Set It Off" beat. VL Mike? My Rating: N/A
16. Delwin The Krazyman Feat. Nu$$ie "Mobbin' On 'Em"
Nope somethin' different. VL Mike did that beat on his "Wus Up" joint from his "Place Yo Betz" mixtape. Can this Delvin dude match or surpass? >>> Sounds different. It actually sounds like it's randomly samplin' tha beat here and there. How odd… Yeah that's another thing I wouldn't do in my songs: throw out a website in tha middle of my verse. Not a good look for me. I rather do that as a shout out or an intro/outro. Yeah this izn't as special (sounds worse for me than that C-Loc song), but Nu$$ie unexpectically (since I didn't know he was in tha song at first) gives this joint some life. Nothin' really special for a No. 16 song for me. My Rating: 3.2
17. Lake Boyz Feat. Savage "Top Model Wit It"
Looks like a dance or a "bounce music" type of song. Glad they're on here again! >>> Okay it's not a bounce song, but it's related to a dance. Wow lmao @ 1:02 and 1:05. There's computer alert sound effects in tha middle of tha song (lmao - it's like a "dun" sound effect). That's unprofessional in my opinion. It sounded like Savage (I think) on tha hook, and tha 2nd verse sounds like Webbie. How odd/unexpected… Lmao again @ 2:07 wit tha 3 mouse clicks in a row. What iz this shit??? More clicks coming! Ewe… WTF was that sound @ 3:09? It scared me… Another okay song. What's wit these okay/average songs? This iz too many in a row. Bad consistancy. My Rating: 3.4
18. The Alliance Feat. Lil' Boosie, Foxx, Juvenile, Gucci Mane, Webbie & Fabo (D4L) "Tattoo (Remix)"
LOL @ tha no ID in tha artist!! But not lookin' forward if it's a "Tatted Up" (or should I say "Tattoo") remix. >>> Okay I'm feelin' tha fucked up slowness of tha hook to "Tattoo" in tha beginning. Lil' Boosie huh? ViperGFX couldn't ID him? Lol/smh. They don't know that Foxx on tha 2nd part? Damn he a FUCKIN' BEAST!!!!! I hear tha girl from The Alliance on tha 1st part of tha 2nd verse. A dude from The Alliance iz on tha 2nd part. Juvenile on tha 3rd part. Good shit here. Gucci Mane on 1st part of 3rd verse. Webbie on Part 2, Verse 3. Wow I named EVERYONE on here. ViperGFX why'd you get lazy all of a sudden wit tha ID? Lol. I fixed it for ya, and I'm feelin' this remix. Definitely turns Spring/Summer 2007 into Spring/Summer 2008 for me! My Rating: 4.1
19. Thrilla Feat. Lil' Yella "Antidote (Remix)"
I wanna hear this joint. I just can't read that title. What does it say/how do you spell it? >>> Oh it's "Antidote". Wow ViperGFX wit another error, lol! They put "Anticdote". Lol… Definitely feelin' that hook! I love that plain/underground beat! I like those fast "*insert words here* antidote" in tha hook! Nothin' really much to say… My Rating: 3.9
20. 9-V Feat. D-So & T-Lo "The Dumb Way"
Make that 3 songs wit an ID error in a row I think. This was my favorite joint off of A-Mar & Dyl's "Raggz 2 Riches". I knew it had to of been somethin' familiar when I heard tha first millisecond of tha intro. >>> Oh wait this ain't that "Dumb Way" song. What's this one? Sounds like David Banner produced this? Yeah I'm real confused here… Shit this iz from somewhere but WHERE? Iz it another Hood Fab song? Sorry tha confusion iz really throwin' me off… Can't really say anything. All them other "Dumb Way" songs I heard were better. My Rating: 3.1
21. Lil' Young'n Feat. Lil' Josh "My Night"
Gotta definitely anticipate a new artist wit "Lil'" in their name. And yeah, it's "my night" to review this. That's why I'm still up when I'm really tired, lol. >>> Didn't expect Lil' Young'n to be a female. That's disappointing to my anticipation level for me, but she was not bad on her part. She gave tha song some club flava. And they left Lil' Josh out of tha ID. What's wit all these errors? I gotta count at tha end. My Rating: 3.3
22. Chasyuh "Uh Huh"
I'm slowly fallin' asleep. Can this joint keep me awake 'til tha end?? >>> Flowin' iz good, and tha song sounds pretty good overall. Tha flow iz a nice standout! My Rating: 4.0
23. DeTrane "Jigg City Radio Outro"
And what do you got to say? >>> Once again, good outro. My Rating: N/A
Overall: End Time: 1:15 AM. Yeah real nice beginning, and tha 2nd ½ was kinda slippery wit some jointz, but definitely was feelin' tha heat on here fa'real! Once again DeTrane, I hope you get recovered SUPA FAST, and I have no clue when you're gonna read this. I wish I could print you a copy and show you it, but I don't think I can. Well I finna post it online tomorrow, so for whoever wants to check it out, check it out. I'm gonna post tha link as a… prolly a blog comment on your page. Keep doin' yo thang dawg! Oh yeah and tha errors. Lemme see how many there were (according to tha back cover):
1. Lil' Boosie iz not in tha ID as a feature on No. 2.
2. 3Deep iz one word, not 2 (as it says "3 Deep").
3 & 4. No. 10 & No. 15 should flow wit tha No. 5 title.
5. "U Gotta Luv Me Baby", not "Gotta Love Me Baby"
6. A-Mar, not "Amar".
7. Nu$$ie iz not in tha ID as a feature on No. 16.
8.
Savage iz not in tha ID as a feature on No. 17.
9 & 10. That whole No. 18 ID iz wrong. The Alliance Feat. Lil' Boosie, Foxx, Juvenile, Gucci Mane, Webbie & Fabo (D4L) as tha artist (not "???"), and it's "Tattoo (Remix)" (that's tha real title).
11. No. 19 has a "c" in "Antidote" (spelled "Anticdote").
12. Lil' Josh iz not in tha ID as a feature on No. 21.
(and others)
^ So nearly ½ tha songs have errors. And that's why there's this great review of mine to make it look good!
