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 10.24.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. "In The Kitchen (Intro)"
Let's see how Savage be "in tha kitchen" wit them pots and shit wit this intro/mixtape! >>> I like that phone call in tha beginning and those Pyrex Radio sound effects wit tha bubblin'. That's a pretty nice East Coast type of beat for this intro. I'm hearin' you rappin' to this right now and you're flowin' real nice on this beat. Great start to tha mixtape. My Rating: 4.0
02. "Wrong Side Of Da Track (U Know Dat)" Feat. B.G., Soulja Slim & Fiend
So what's up wit Soulja bein' on this track? Iz it supposed to be a sample or somethin'? I'm likin' tha name of this joint so we'll see how good it iz! >>> I like that Baton Rouge type of beat in tha beginning; gotta luv those types of beats!!! B.G. startin' off wit that 1st verse… Likin' it so far, especially wit tha "fresh dickie shirt" and tha "'bauds." I like that "wit ya people ova a tee" line; good shit from B.G.! Gotta feel when you (Savage) are on tha hook; you make great hooks. Hearin' you on tha 2nd verse dawg… Great shit so far, especially wit learnin' about tha "niggas 'round tha corner" part when you said that; nice Savage. Mr. R.I.P. a.k.a. Soulja Slim on tha 3rd verse… Of course, he delivers a gutta verse! Pretty much most rappers that get killed always deliver tight parts, no matter what! Hearin' Fiend on tha last verse… He had a nice part too; pretty nice track overall! My Rating: 4.3
03. "Dat Gudda Shit" Feat. Chill & Big Head
Not just No. 2 but you produced this joint as well. Let's see how you gon do wit Big Head and this Chill dude… >>> Sounds pretty good again for a start wit that beat. I'm likin' that nice hook right there from you. Tha beat easily reminds me of tha shit you'd see on Pyrex Radio mixtapes (no wonder, this iz one; not one of their compilations though). Chill starts off on tha 1st verse… Nice lil' delivered verse from him; gotta feel anybody from Louisiana! Hearin' tha 2nd verse right now from you and it's soundin' tight wit all those lyrics relatin' to kush. Now I hear Big Head finally on tha 3rd verse… Glad he can "turn a brick into two." I'm glad he liked my review for his "Trill 4 Real" CD; nice verse! Likin' tha fade-out on this joint. My Rating: 4.2
04. "I Ain't Got No Mind" Feat. T-Lo Of Da Jiggalators & Big Markee
Actually, I just realized that I reviewed this in tha past. Let's see what I said about it and what I will add to it: This iz HOT! Real good Savage verse! What are all those letters in tha hook? I can't connect them, lol. Tight joint. To add to this: I remembered that beat and thought it was for "Hood Fab" but it was a 2006 theme beat to one thing on MTV Jams where they were showin' around in different cities (like in Florida, showin' rims and shit; forgot what it was called). I hear tha hook better now and it says, "R-E-T-A-R-D-E-D." I think I couldn't connect it at first 'cause it said it twice in a row. Yeah, Savage has a REAL HOT verse, especially wit those "I'm like Pop Eye's chicken, got a 2-piece special" and that "put a nigga in tha blender like I'm makin' a smoothie" lines!!! I'm LOVIN' tha strawberry/banana smoothies I'm havin' at my new college now! VERY GOOD for only $3.19! That's a nice 2nd verse, especially wit all those "retontoe" (sp?) lyrics (referin' to bein' "R-E-T-A-R-D-E-D"). I'm REALLY likin' that 3rd verse; real great flow to get ya in tha mood! Makes anyone wanna get "R-E-T-A-R-D-E-D" and do you; great shit!! I'm boostin' tha rating I had for it originally (originally a 4.2)! Oh, and great beat again Savage; glad to see it featured on MTV Jams 2 years ago!! My Current Rating: 4.5
05. "Keep It All 'G'"
It's just you again for this one. You did tha beat also so I'm lookin' forward to hearin' this! Hope tha flow iz "R-E-T-A-R-D-E-D," lol! >>> Just by pressin' play, it went right into tha beat; real nice beat again! Glad this iz 4:31; great "G shit" type of hook! I'm likin' that "deliver tha rock" line in tha 1st verse; great 1st verse you delivered to tha listeners! Hearin' tha 2nd verse now and I'm definitely likin' that "Katrina aftermath" line; real nice! Glad you're "built like an armor truck" by bein' "250;" that's why you are a "savage" Savage. Nice 3rd verse also, especially since you're considered "that raw, that crack, that hydroponic purp, that meth, that cane and that whole truck of birds" when it comes to things; REAL NICE set of parts right there!! My Rating: 4.4
06. "Eat 'Em Alive"
A shout out to DJ Toomp? Did he do this beat for you? I wanna hear it! >>> That's REAL COOL that he did this track (and that it wasn't a "jacked beat"); smart move Sav! Glad you're on this whole entire joint and that you're "not wit all that bubblegum Rap shit;" same here! That's why when it comes to reviews, I review mostly underground shit (mainly Louisiana shit). If I was to review mainstream shit and sometimes shit not from Louisiana, tha ratings would be a lot lower. Great 1st verse and a very, very interesting hook wit tha beginning of it and tha "I'm 'bout to 'eat 'em alive'" part! Definitely likin' your 2nd verse, especially since dumb fucks (hatin'-ass males) have "feminine" inside of them; glad you "smell fear" on them! I like your 3rd verse and tha "I'm in tha lab, come and sample what I'm givin' up" line. I thought you was gonna post some of your samples on tha Word Of South board? Somebody also was askin' for tha samples as well. It would help if I had them too 'cause I really want a Louisiana sound in my beats when I make beats. My Rating: 4.4
07. "Getting Some Head (Remix)"
Perfect song to jack. I wanna hear how you did on this lil' remix version! >>> For a second, I thought I reviewed this/heard this already but I guess I didn't. I checked my iTunes (where I added your previous mixtapes that I reviewed from you) but nothin'; nice 1st verse though. A nice lil' catchy 2nd verse from you too on this. Cool 3rd verse; I'm glad "your dick stay in her mouth like her gold teeth." I like at tha end also wit tha "toast and tha eggs" part; nice shit here Savage! My Rating: 4.0
08. "Make It Roll" Feat. Front Street Black
Iz this gon be a club banga? Let's see how this gon sound for me… >>> Hearin' that moanin' in tha background; didn't expect it to sound like a sequel to tha "Getting Some Head (Remix)". A lil' different style for a club banga but it works; nice hook. Pretty nice 1st verse from Front Street Black on here. This iz pretty nice for tha fellas, especially every like 3 seconds wit that girl moanin'! Seducin' tha females pretty good on that 2nd verse Sav. Nice 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse also Savage wit tha seducin' to tha females. Hearin' Front Street Black on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse and he's pretty good on this too; he sounds a lil' like D-Roc from tha Ying Yang Twins. My Rating: 3.8
09. "Eyez Redd"
You purp'd out Sav? I have a feelin' that's what shit this joint's on! Lookin' forward to hearin' it! >>> Yeah, more of a combination of "smokers, drinkers, pill poppas;" likin' that beat (sounds like Mouse a lil'). Speakin' of all this shit wit "mixin' shit" and shit like that, when I was comin' home from a college event today, there was this girl, she was in tha middle of tha road jammin' to tha music she was listenin' to. She was like… shot, and she got 911 called on her; lol! Great 1st verse and hearin' tha 2nd verse as I speak… Still tha same type of lyrics to go wit tha 1st verse and I'm likin' what err-body be doin' to get they "eyez redd." I like tha "jigg, jigg" parts in tha background before tha 3rd verse. I like that 3rd verse from you on this as well. I like how you kept it to tha topic of tha title tha whole way through; nice hook on this too. My Rating: 4.2
10. "Tryna Get The Cadillac"
Just lookin' at tha title (and there bein' no "produced by ___") on tha back cover, it must be a "jacked beat" song. I remember tha "Tryna Get The Cadillac" hook but forgot who sung it/how old it was. Let's see how you do on this joint Sav. >>> I like those "Pyrex Radio" parts randomly throughout these songs; yeah, this iz that "Tryna Get The Cadillac" song I know. I liked this beat and you had a pretty nice 1st verse on this; it's just as jammin' wit you rappin' over it. Glad you "familiar wit tha kitchen, you can serve it to tha trap;" great start to tha 2nd verse wit that line! Nice lil' 2nd verse too. Great shit here Savage as you made this jam continue to be a jam. My Rating: 4.0
11. "Leeches"
Anotha jacked one… I can't think of what it would be over but I wanna hear it 'cause that title seems interesting… >>> Only 2:00 on tha length flat. Glad your "stomach's still grummly." Sorry I downloaded this for free… But it's all good 'cause you're gettin' this review for free 'cause I'm cool wit you. If I eva had tha money for a feature/beat from you, I would pay you, no doubt. I know what that beat iz and (I think) it's from Purple City; anotha great beat you chose to rap ova (that's 3 for 3 wit tha jacked beats)! You did yo thang on this too. My Rating: 4.1
½time: Up, ½time already. Definitely likin' this. I wonder how old this shit iz… I went on Datpiff (where I got it from) and tha 1st comment was like April 2008 or some shit like that. I have a feelin' it's older, no doubt about that. Anyway, lookin' forward to see what's left. I have a feelin' there's not much long jointz left 'cause I felt like I've been reviewin' tracks 4 minutes and longer 'til No. 10.
12. "Body Shots"
Neva mind, back to tha Savage beats and lookin' forward to hearin'! >>> Nice beat intro right here and I'm likin' those "crib" sound effects in tha beginning (kinda like when they were combined on that "I Ain't Got No Mind" joint). Pretty nice 1st verse and tha hook sounds like a rework of tha Purple Ribbon Allstars's "Body Rock;" likin' that lil' hook! I like that "you talkin' all that talk but you ain't on that war shit" on tha beginning of tha 2nd verse! Glad you're "lightin' up in tha garbage;" that goes to show you that you're valuable! Pretty nice 3rd verse too on here; tha hook iz tha best for me, especially wit that beat from you! My Rating: 4.3
13. "Hustle Grind" Feat. Rudye & Nu$$ie
I see that there's an error on tha back cover: Tha word "grind" iz not in tha title when it should be. Anyway, this was on Nu$$ie's "Bad Azz" CD (so I'm guessin' this mixtape was like '06ish or some shit) so let's see what I had to say: Pretty good start. Good line right here: "like Pillsbury, I'm 'bout my dough." Great hook, and this joint came out pretty good. To add to this: Likin' that fast beat for this! Yeah, that's a tight hook wit how y'all "hustle" and "grind." Looks like Rudye iz "up at 7:00 AM;" early to get that bread. Yeah, just as I said before, that "Pillsbury" line was nice! You did yo thang on tha 2nd verse Sav; keepin' these beats, verses and hooks comin'! Nu$$ie, of course, doin' tha damn thang on his part! Glad he "sellin' rocks off tha ground;" gotta luv when he always shouts his name randomly (e.g., "NU$$IE!!")!! Boostin' my rating from a 4.2 to a 4.3 now! My Current Rating: 4.3
14. "So Fresh Widit"
That's how you do Sav. Now, lemme see you put it out there as a song wit you on tha beat! >>> Pretty nice start and yeah, tha title definitely applies now that you "let tha 'bauds sag" on this and "blow purp by tha o.z.;" great lines! I like that hook, including tha "fresh white tee and a fresh fitted" part; freshness right here Savage. Likin' your 2nd verse on this too. Likin' all those "jigg" parts during tha 3rd verse (or bridge; w/e you wanna call it). Glad you're positive about yourself on this shit by bein' "fresh" all tha time; great way to make a nice quality joint like this! Still likin' tha "jigg" parts as they were after tha last hook! My Rating: 4.5
15. "Freestyle"
Let's see watz good here… >>> Only 1:13 on tha length… I don't think I know tha beat. Yeah, "you gotta be tha best thang from Louisiana." You're a VERY GOOD artist no matter what you do (mixtapes, verses, beats, hooks, etc.). You are "not a soldier, you are a commander;" like that line. A lil' short for me to like more though. My Rating: 3.7
16. "Welcome 2 Baton Rouge"
Thanx 4 welcomin' me to BR! I hope to go there one day and *SPECIAL NEWS*: At my college, they're goin' on service trips to like North Carolina, Florida, B-More and… **New Orleans, Louisiana**! As soon as I heard it announced, I raised my hand right away and was VERY INTERESTED! I got lucky a few dayz ago as I filled out an application to go there! It's gonna only cost me $100 for a start (and prolly a lil' more later on) but I have a great chance of goin' there during Spring Break 2009!!!!! I'm REALLY lookin' forward to goin' to Louisiana for tha 1st time and helpin' out folks out there (especially tha African Americans; I put that in tha application). I also listed in it that I didn't have interest in tha other places; I wanted to go to Louisiana 'cause of reasons (like tha music business and tha people there). More info on that in tha future! For now, back to this mixtape; let's see what this iz over… >>> That's gutta that "off of 1st impulse, you love to shoot niggaz." Just listenin' to you on this goes to show you that you deserve all tha success you want in anything! Tha beat iz pretty nice for an East Coast beat; it just sounds better wit you on it. DEFINITELY likin' that "niggaz pissin' like redestructional kidneys" part; REAL NICE thinkin' there!! GREAT RHYMES throughout this whole lil' freestyle here!! My Rating: 4.3
17. "Old Skools" Feat. Lil' Handy (R.I.P.) & Webbie
Mouse produced this joint and it has tha late Handy on this. This'll be a nice joint prolly; lookin' forward to tha collab! >>> I just recovered my crew in tha video game I'm playin' by sleepin' in an inn and as soon as I heard tha intro, it gave me tha right feelin' to how it would sound in tha video game; great intro! Hearin' Lil' Handy on tha 1st verse… Too bad he died in a car accident May 19, 2004! I didn't even get to know him 'til last week, when I heard that joint where he said tha special "Mouse drop tha track, that'll make you bounce and act, what" line. Anyway, he's doin' his thang on this 1st verse. That's so not a Mouse beat and I'm really likin' it; real nice vibe to it! Reminds me a lil' of a Houston, Texas type of beat but it's real nice to hear it for Louisiana artists and to hear Louisiana artists rap on it! Great 1st verse from Lil' Handy there as well as tha hook. You sound younger on this Savage (I didn't recognize you there for a second on tha 2nd verse). Pretty nice there; you sound better now when you rap. Webbie even sounds like when I first heard him back in Early 2005. I think he had a pretty nice part on his verse. Nice lil' jam right here and I hope Mouse, Savage and Beat Flippa keep producin' beats 'cause that's what Baton Rouge needs!! Oh and nice lil' check-in from my dawg Young Ready at tha end!! My Rating: 4.1
18. "Ack A Ass Widit" Feat. Rudye & Young Ready
An error on tha ID … On tha cover, it looks like it says "AKA Ass" (should be "Ack A Ass Widit" as it says that on tha mp3 file I have). Anyway, I DEFINITELY wanna hear some more of Young Ready and anotha track produced by you! >>> Dunn dunn dunn, it's a Savage beat!! Will this be tha best song on here? Sounds like it has that easy potential for me! Likin' that beat better during tha hook and that's a nice hook right there for tha clubs! Nice lil' vibe in tha way you was flowin' on tha 1st verse; tight shit so far! Dyin' to hear what Young Ready did to this!! Let's hear what Rudye has to say on tha 2nd verse… He did his thang on his part! Here comes Young Ready!! Young Ready had a pretty nice part on his verse; definitely feelin' his shit. I think all tha props go to you for makin' this joint tha shit! My Rating: 4.6
19. "She A Poppa" Feat. Rudye
This was on "BET: Uncut"? That's cool if it was. This was prolly a jam back then too! >>> Tha intro reminds me of that "I Ain't Got No Mind" joint wit tha way tha beat sounds (tha "crib" sounds sound more like those gutta type of sounds). Rudye had a pretty nice 1st verse; nothin' really to say. Hearin' you on tha hook and (of course) you make them hooks sound great; nice Louisiana sound right here! Damn, this sounds real, real old (wit tha soundin')! Hearin' you on tha 2nd verse and soundin' really younger again. That's cool that it "lookin' like she got balloons in her pants." Already into tha 3rd verse and I'm quotin' somethin': I like that "ass droppin' like it can't define gravity" line! Pretty nice joint here, although I've heard better jointz. Nice lil' Cory Mo check-in at tha end wit that phone call. I tried goin' to tha website he said ( CoryMo.com ) and nothin' happened (I'm guessin' 'cause this mixtape iz a lil' old or somethin'?). My Rating: 3.9
20. "Ain't Hard 2 Find" Feat. Cory Mo & Trae
Let's see what goes on here wit this H-Town connection… >>> Not really feelin' tha "old, non-Louisiana" type of beat on here; sorry. Oh, it's an "old Outkast beat?" I guess that's a lil' exception then. Not bad verse from Cory Mo including that hook too. Hearin' you on tha 2nd verse… Sounds random wit this collabo and this beat. You had real nice lyrics on your verse for this one so that's a thumbs up. Trae on tha 3rd verse… Aight for me… I'm sorry but I almost can't get into some of tha H-Town sounds anymore. It was like a 2004-2006 thing for me. My Rating: 3.2
21. "Personal Message: Game Freestyle (Non Believers)"
Iz this a song? It prolly iz… Neva mind, I see a different ID on tha mp3 file. Let's see about these "non believers"… >>> Anotha beat I can't really get into… Can't really get into this but great lyrics you spittin' about what you're sayin' on this. My Rating: 3.0
22. "Smoke Blunts (I'm Gettin' Money)"
It says "Smoke Blunts" as tha title. But if this iz really "I'm Gettin' Money", then I reviewed that song already. Lemme pull up my most recent review for it: >>> Wait, neva mind, this iz a completely different song. No wonder why there's that "I'm" in part of tha ID. This iz a lil' short but REAL nice hook and great lil' beat from you; I like this. My Rating: 4.2
23. "Wood Grain Grippin'"
Been waitin' to see what this iz… Iz this what I think it iz (since there's no production credit)…? >>> Nope; thought it was a Marvelous J beat from 2006 that Natureboy Rowe rapped over on his "I Rap" joint. Sounds like "Cutty Buddy" a lil' in tha beat but I didn't want it to end slow; not too much into tha beat and I'm not really diggin' this "H-Town Savage sound" from you. I like your singin' on this and at tha 1:00 mark wit tha "smokin' good" and shit like that. I didn't like that ending (it just like cut off) to this mixtape. My Rating: 3.3
Overall: End Time: 12:44 AM. Pretty nice mixtape. I think I liked your mixtapes you dropped this year a lil' better than this though but this iz still some nice work from years ago. Only thing was towards tha 2nd ½ wit those slow type of songs and tha H-Town soundin'; that threw me off a lil'. Either way, you are that dude when it comes to this shit. Big Jay should like this review.
