Quick Note: 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) so 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.

FrankieThaLuckyDog. Other than tha main artist or affiliated people with tha
main artist, this review iz to not be used in anyone else’s words!
01.
Intro
To
start off an unknown mixtape, let’s see what we got! >>> Tha beat
sounds good. Raj Smoove has a nice lil’ intro here introducin’ what’s gon be on
this mixtape! Thanx for sayin’ who gon be on here! My Rating: N/A
02.
“Comeback Music”
More
like a “start” here, lol. Let’s see what you got… >>> Somewhat doesn’t
sound like Louisiana
“music” in tha hook for a start… Neva mind,
once tha 1st verse started, I heard Vybe’s beat tag, so he on tha
beat! Tha hook was decent/good and you sound good on tha 1st verse
wit tha shit you’re deliverin’. I like how tha start to tha 2nd
verse keeps repeatin’, ESPECIALLY since I can hear tha “Vybe” tag each time! Pretty
good 2nd verse too… Hope there’s more ta come wit this mixtape… My Rating: 3.9
03.
“Outta Orbit” Feat. Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I. & Mugsy
Looks
like a tight collaboration wit a tight title! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this
one! >>> Sounded like it came in too quick wit no intro… Okay, there’s
a start when it’s rewound back at :20. Tha hook was pretty good; more on a
betta mainstream level. Tha 1st verse sounded pretty good fa what it
was. Let’s hear this Dizzy verse up next… It was pretty good fa hearin’ him
once again. I guess this iz more of your CD wit a bunch of different features
on it. Tha 3rd verse must be Mugsy; he sounds tha best on this shit.
Definitely liked his flow and he sounded cool on this shit. :tu My Rating: 4.1
04.
“Body Bags” Feat. Gunz & Fly Boy Baron
Tha
title (since it has “body,” which nearly rhymes wit “Vybe”) makes me predict this
gon be a Vybe beat again. Once again, you got an interestin’ lineup for tha
song so it should definitely be tight!! >>> Pretty cool hook wit tha
combination of tha singin’ and gangsta lyrics; I like how this one came wit no
intro! It flowed through nice and I was surprisingly correct, it’s DEFINITELY
anotha Vybe beat; this one iz BETTA than “Comeback Music”’s!! Tha 1st
verse sounded good on this shit; deliverin’ street shit here! What will happen
on tha 2nd verse? Let’s see… It’s Gunz and it sounds like he pretty
gutta on his verse too! Now that we had two gr8 verses, let’s see what tha 3rd
verse gon be… You KNOW it’s pretty strong for a start wit tha attitude and
words are like, “I don’t give a fuck,” in tha 1st line! Anotha gr8
verse comin’ through gutta on tha track! My
Rating: 4.4
05.
“Assembly Line” Feat. Gunz
Anotha
Gunz collaboration here! Will it be anotha Vybe production too? I don’t know
how tha odds can consistently go so let’s see what happens! >>> GR8
ODDS TO THA FULLEST!!! I predict right again wit tha Vybe production!! Anotha
tight beat from him and tha hook sounds catchy like tha last song; anotha
street anthem! Tha 1st verse iz str8 delivery on tha basics of tha
topic of this song and its title; good shit! Tha 2nd verse iz really
‘bout all tha money and all dat; it fits good fa this song too! My Rating: 4.2
06.
“You Can Be A Model” Feat. Jay Lyriq & Total Kaos
Anotha
set of newbies wit catchy names/spellings too! :tu How will I feel about this
song? >>> It’s 3x a charm here wit Vybe on tha beat again!! Tha hook
iz kinda different fa me but tha beat iz crazy on it!! Tha REAL TIGHT beat
makes it sound like a gr8 hook automatically! Tha flow on tha 1st
verse fit REAL NICE wit this beat and it was pretty good fa a verse! We have
some singin’ on tha 2nd verse… Not sure how much it fits for a
mixtape… Tha 3rd verse sounds much betta ‘cause it’s rappin’ and it does fit a mixtape! My Rating: 4.3
07.
“Trap Is Mine” Feat. Gunz & J-Dotta
Gr8
topic here! I can predict a Vybe production EASILY!! Glad you got Gunz
on this again and anotha newbie for tha feature! Let’s check this shit out, ya
heard me! >>> Nope, not a Vybe production; I think it said, “Epic
Production?” I feel like I keep hearin’ tha title? Why was it rewound so much?
Okay hook although catchy either way… Tha 1st verse iz here and it
has a good flow! Gr8 street
lyrics on this shit, doin’ tha damn thang! I hear tha hook past tha title now
and it sounds much betta for tha streetz! Tha 2nd verse iz
DEFINITELY raw right here!! Talk about grimy and gutta on tha flow, lyrics and
RHYMES!!! :tu Tha 3rd verse must be J-Dotta ‘cause it’s a new voice
fa this mixtape and I. Pretty good start; he made a mega-catchy introduction ta
who he iz wit tha rhymes! I like tha “symphony/send fa me” (I think that was
tha 2nd part) part; REAL nice combo!! My Rating: 4.3
08.
“Talkin’” Feat. 6 Shot & Mack Maine
Looks
like anotha street anthem? >>> This one sounds like it’s for tha
streetz; very Philly Rap influenced on tha sound here. It reminds me of Beanie
Sigel in tha beginning wit tha style; it sounds good fa this mixtape though! Nice
job on tha 1st verse and tha hook iz definitely catchy; gotta like
tha title part! Glad y’all got anotha gutta hook here! Sounded like a
pill-poppin’ start to tha 2nd verse? That’s good ta get tha energy
up fa this Rap shit! Pretty good job deliverin’ tha 2nd verse; it
fit fa what it was! Nice job from Mack Maine on tha 3rd verse too; gr8
street shit! My Rating: 4.3
09.
“Me And My Louie” Feat. Ice Da Blusa
I
thought there was a gurl on tha feature but it could be a cool dude… My
anticipation fa some reason was low fa this one (‘cause I thought tha “Louie”
part was “Love” when I first saw it and thinkin’ tha featured artist was a
gurl)… >>> Definitely no low anticipation now that I hear that this iz
a Vybe production!! Anotha REAL NICE beat here and tha hook iz definitely
catchy again!! I smell a 4th 4.3 rating in a row, lol? Tha 1st
verse has a NICE flow here from you and you DEFINITELY comin’ through wit tha
street shit here to tha fullest!! Iz dat tha Ice dude on tha 2nd
verse? Sounds like a newbie… Kinda decent for a start wit tha raps and shit;
really on a mainstream mixtape level… Here’s tha 3rd verse and it
has ta be you ‘cause it sounds betta! Tha shit spit on this verse sounds tight;
gotta feel this gutta shit! Pretty good song once again but fell a 10th
of a point shy of tha 4.3 rating, lol. My
Rating: 4.2
½time: This mixtape DEFINITELY
makin’ me wake up and wanna do some reviewz today! REAL consistent wit REAL
consistent ratings that just stay on a consistent level!! Gotta luv how I said,
“consistent,” 3x within one sentence, lol! Tha average CD rating iz 4.2
currently and you KNOW you gon do tha damn thang wit tha 2nd ½ of
this mixtape! Keep up tha gutta shit and collaborations!!
10.
“Break Up To Make Up” Feat. Na’Tee
Now
here’s a female but more on tha
rappin’/HOTTER style!! Not sure about tha title so we’ll see what it do…
>>> Sounds like a Drake hook? Not exactly into it that much wit tha
way it sounded… I bet Na’Tee could’ve done betta singin’! It doesn’t exactly
sound like you on tha 1st verse; sounds like someone else I reviewed
not too long ago… LOL @ tha “lips on my ballsack” part! Sounds like Na’Tee gon
be on tha 2nd verse… I actually prolly would’ve heard betta from
her. She was good fa tha song although I’m not crazy about this song… Tha 3rd
verse again was you and sounded different… My
Rating: 3.2
11.
“My Raps” Feat. Da Goonz
A
year ago, I got ta talk to Da Goonz on a New
Orleans college radio station. Although it was cool
talkin’ ta them, they neva would answer me back on MySpace? I was confused
‘cause they’re undaground and all dat… I think I asked them ta send me music
and they didn’t; weird… But, it should be good hearin’ them now on your
mixtape! >>> Yes, I KNEW it
was gon be a Vybe production ‘cause of tha tightness in tha ID!! :tu Gotta luv
his beats ‘cause they keep soundin’ TIGHT on different street levels!! Sounds
like you’re on tha 1st verse and it’s pretty good this time! I
easily prefer tha street songs ova tha female songs! I’m assumin’ one of Da
Goonz iz on tha 2nd verse? Haven’t heard them since October 2008 wit
their “Swag” song I exclusively found on a message board… Somewhat catchy but
definitely fits a street audience! Tha 3rd verse pretty good also;
nicely mixed in! My Rating: 4.2
12.
“Nike Shoe Box” Feat. Ice Da Blusa
You
brought tha Ice dude back! Let’s see tha “coolness” level on this one!
>>> I feel a Vybe intro for tha beginning of tha beat sound; will it
be? I didn’t catch a beat tag yet but it still sounds gr8! Tha hook sounded gr8
and catchy for tha title itself! Tha 1st verse soundin’ pretty good
on this beat right here! Nice job wit this shit and I think afta almost two
minutes into tha song, I caught tha Vybe tag! It’s hard ta hear it wit this
beat but it’s there! Tha 2nd verse iz now here and this
shit-that-goes-hard-type shit sounds gr8 ta hear! Tha 3rd verse iz
more catchy here! I like tha “what it say, nigga” question ad-lib at 3:26;
gotta luv Urban-type shit! Good job on tha 3rd verse and you KNOW
this song held it down once again fa this mixtape! My Rating: 4.2
13.
“Nike Shoe Box (Remix)” Feat. Da Trap Gang
Oh
no, lol! Y’all should’ve put this as tha last song, not right afta tha
original, lol! But, at least I get ta hear my boy Vybe on tha beat ONCE
again!!! >>> Different beat intro but Vybe on tha beat still! This
beat sounds good but I think tha original had more of a betta beat. Tha 1st
verse iz here and it has a slower flow wit more of a catchy twist. Back to a
Philly sound here as it reminds me of tha Young Gunz (mainly Young Chris, ½ of
them). Let’s see tha 2nd verse… Still soundin’ betta than average
here. Tha 3rd verse now arrived and tha rhymes are a mix of catchy
Rap shit and mainstream-type shit. Due to tha 5:30+ length, a 4th
verse fit! It’s that Young Chris-type dude and he has “an orgasm for tha money”
as he “humps for it;” ROFL!! :rofl My God, talk about an obsession!! It’s like
obsession ova possession fa certain people I guess, lol! Either way, pretty
good verse. My Rating: 4.1
14.
“Sexy As Hell” Feat. Na’Tee
Hope
Na’Tee delivers this song “sexy as hell” vs. tha previous one she was on, ya
dig! >>> Uh oh, a HUGE beat start here!! Can’t imagine how it gon turn
out ta be!! This iz already MUCH BETTA than tha last Na’Tee feature song!! What
was up wit tha beginning? A lil’ odd wit tha weird-ass Auto-Tune but it wasn’t
tha worst. She’s on tha 1st verse and her rappin’ iz MUCH BETTA this
time!! I see this bein’ real tight, regardless of anything comin’ in its path!!
DEFINITELY a NICE 1st verse although to describe tha hook again, it
can be catchy, but I almost feel like tha word “sexy” can be replaced wit “gay”
in tha title for tha way I can describe how tha hook sounds wit tha Auto-Tune! Tha
2nd verse from you breezed by but was good fa tha pace and
err-thang! This song was only 2:41 so it was real short; I wanted a 3rd
verse or anotha Na’Tee verse! My Rating:
3.7
15.
“I Gotta Hustle”
Like
tha one dude on tha last song, you’re not gonna “hump for tha money” now, are
you, lol? >>> Sounds a lil’ like tha “Body Bags” hook wit tha singin’
and sounds pretty good. Tha beat iz pretty catchy here too… Sounds like a bunch
of Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I. references in tha 1st verse wit all tha
“dizzy” parts and tha “I can’t sit still” part like his song from last year. Pretty
catchy 1st verse, “dizzy” style, lol. Tha 2nd verse
sounds like it fits tha flow wit tha 1st verse. Glad you still
keepin’ it street for tha streetz here! My
Rating: 4.0
16.
“Always On Da Grind” Feat. Shawt
Almost
looks like a cut-off featured artist name for tha feature but this should be a
good song since it’s on its “grind!”
>>> DEFINITELY has ta be a Vybe beat ‘cause tha beat start has such a
NICE soundin’!! :tu Really feelin’ tha style and tha beginning sounds cool! Tha
1st verse DEFINITELY sounds like it gutta here wit tha grimy
soundin’ in tha vocals and all dat gr8 shit! Great sequel from tha last song,
ESPECIALLY since this one iz betta!! Sounds like tha featured artist gon come
up on tha 2nd verse… Yup, it’s Shawt! I still can’t tell who did
this beat (‘cause there’s no tag) but you KNOW it goes hard! This verse though
iz aight. Tha lyrics are only okay and tha flow iz just average fa me; nothin’
extremely ear-catchin’. It’s back ta you on tha 3rd verse and you
DEFINITELY sound betta once again!! Keepin’ it gutta to tha fullest and on a
top-notch delivery! Although tha 2nd verse didn’t meet my
expectations, it ties tha top rating on this CD of 4.4! My Rating: 4.4
17.
“Starvin’”
Hope
you do tha damn thang on this one too ‘cause usually, this title reminds me of
a depressin’-ass topic/song! >>> Definitely not depressin’ wit tha
beat start! Yea, tha return of Vybe too!!! Sounded like an addictin’ sound from
:15 - :18!! Sounded like a real long intro; it went ta :46… But, now that tha
hook came in, it REALLY goin’ off now!!! Will it take tha top spot? Sounds REAL
GR8 & GUTTA!!! Here you come through on tha 1st verse and I can
DEFINITELY tell you come from tha streetz wit this delivery!! Tha 2nd
verse had a REAL NICE start ta it wit tha quiet beat from 2:30 – 2:32! You’re
STILL goin’ off on this shit right here, doin’ tha damn thang to tha fullest!! I
thought a 3rd verse would fit but tha hook repeated ‘til tha end.
Either way, I’m glad it repeated! My
Rating: 4.6
18.
“Rehab Spaze Out Outro”
Could
wonder how we gon end it… >>> Looks like we gon end wit a REAL TIGHT
freestyle!! I thought Vybe would’ve produced a beat like this but it seems
kinda faster fa him… It DEFINITELY sounds REAL CRAZY wit tha beat and you STILL
keepin’ it street here wit tha rappin’!! Pretty much raw shit all tha way
through!! I didn’t expect a 50ish second outro of DJ Raj Smoove but I’m glad he
checked in once again! My Rating: 4.5
Overall: Well, you DEFINITELY get
a plus from me right chea, ya heard me! You DEFINITELY did ya thang on this
mixtape; damn near every joint went hard and you brought buku people ta be
featured on tha CD wit you! Keep doin’ ya thang and keep tha posse on and
poppin’!
