Review #470: Yung Blaze Presents "225 vs. 985: Who Will Win (Who's Better? 225 Or 985) (The Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 5.25.2010 (Review #470)




Okay… Up next iz a mixtape compiled by Yung Blaze. How ironic dat he just added me on YouTube and I didn’t realize ‘til I checked his DatPiff page dat he’s tha same person right chea! Anyway, this iz actually a competition right chea between tha 225 and tha 985!! Who will win? This prolly tha 1st time dat I’ve done a review ta where it’s a battle! I gon keep track of each team’s scores and see who wins towards tha end, ya dig! So, here goes my review for Yung Blaze Presents “225 vs. 985: Who Will Win (Who’s Better? 225 Or 985) (The Mixtape)”!! BTW, my personal vote iz 225 all tha way but how will it be on this mixtape? Who knows what my opinion’ll be! Start Time: 4:29 PM | End Time: 5:45 PM


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.

01. Scooter “You Feel Me”
Team 225
This looks anticipatin’… I hope it turns out ta be REAL GOOD ‘cause it’s tha 225!!! >>> Oh no, this gon be a jacked beat mixtape? Should’ve at least been original tracks. Anyway, I anticipate those on dat Young Jeezy “Ya Dig” beat and this looks like it’s payin’ off! DEFINITELY sounds good on tha “trap” shit right chea on tha hook!! Pretty gutta here on tha 1st verse when it comes to tha street content as well as tha pussazzes out in tha streetz! Tha 2nd verse keeps this raw shit goin’ on right chea! I like how it’s a “pill-dealin’”-type verse this time!! DEFINITELY real hot wit tha content!!! My Rating: 4.6


02. Young Starter Ent. “We Off The Wall”
Team 985
Looks REAL GOOD on tha ID right chea!! How good will it sound? >>> Young Crucial in tha intro? Iz dat tha 225 Young Crucial? How funny for a battle! I heard a DJ B-Real tag in tha background; did he produce this? This sounds like somethin’ from like ’07 or somethin’ by tha way it sounds. Kinda plain wit tha vibe but tha content’s gutta right chea!! Tha content has a Baton Rouge feel to it wit tha “jiggalatin’” and shit like dat. I can tell this real old ‘cause tha “DJ B-Real” tag’s just repeatin’ throughout tha song; he doesn’t do dat shit now. Tha tag sounds like DJ Big Wayne’s tag, which iz TOO fuckin’ addictin’ ta hear!!! Tha 2nd verse pretty gutta right chea; glad ta hear gutta-ass rhymes to tha fullest!!! Tha 3rd verse keepin’ it gangsta… as always, ya dig! FUCKIN’ LUVIN’ tha repetitiveness of tha “DJ B-Real” tag; it just goes in ya skin!!! My Rating: 4.8


03. Live Boyz “You Want Beef”
Team 225
Still lookin’ good wit these ID’s; DEFINITELY gutta shit to tha fullest!!! >>> LOL, a “Head Bussa” beat? Why does tha 225 team have jacked beats? Tha start wit tha hook right chea’s DEFINITELY gutta!! Shit yea @ “dat killa what I’m smokin’;” fuckin’ luvin’ tha content fa tha 1st verse right chea!!! Gotta have dat gangsta-ass shit comin’ outta tha rhymes too!!! Tha dude on tha 2nd verse from tha Live Boyz’s REALLY “back up on dat level” thanx ta “poppin’ a pill!” GR8 ta be powered up when it comes ta tha streetz and this Rap shit right chea!!! Tha 3rd verse transitioned right away and iz keepin’ this shit hot!! My Rating: 4.5


04. Blood Brothers “Getcha Hater Up”
Team 985
Interestin’ title right chea and tha Blood Brothers look familiar… I might have them in my Reviewz Marathon or somethin’…; maybe dat’s tha Thug Brothers? Let’s see dis shit… >>> Tha intro sounds REAL TIGHT wit tha talkin’ and this REAL HOT beat!!! Tha hook sounds interestin’ here; a different kinda title ta increase your “haterz,” lol! Tha 1st verse iz here and they “bumpin’ Lil’ Webbie” right chea, on some trill-ass shit! Definitely feelin’ how tha dude on tha 1st verse’s comin’ through; strictly for tha undaground in Louisiana right chea!! This mixtape DEFINITELY gives me a good vibe!!! Tha 2nd verse startin’ off pretty good here; pretty strong ta start it off wit “bitch-nigga!” Nice job deliverin’ tha 2nd verse and I thought there was gonna be a 3rd verse fa a second… My Rating: 4.6


05. Live Boyz “Feelin’ Like I’m Feelin’”
Team 225
Anotha song by them? Good but I think you should mix tha artists up! >>> Oh no, one of those internet beats as I heard this as Yung Yola & D.$.G. “Doing My Dance” last year… Sounds aight for a hook here; definite plus, regardless. “Tighter than sum stiches;” pretty nice for a start here on tha 1st verse! “Gag on this pistol;” raw!! Definitely tight wit tha way tha 1st verse came through!! I like tha flow on tha 2nd verse right chea; pretty interestin’ tha way it’s delivered in a street perspective! Tha 3rd verse has gr8 rhymes goin’ on here… This DEFINITELY holdin’ it down!! Huh? What’s up wit tha quality after 3:32 and up until 3:42? Sounded like it was blastin’ in tha beat? My Rating: 4.3


06. Ya Boy Nem Ent. “Main Attraction”
Team 985
What kinda song’ll this be? Interestin’ artist name… >>> Can’t comment on tha beat intro here yet… I hear tha hook now and tha beat sounds pretty good fa this; definitely representin’! Tha 1st verse sounds good here; I like how most of tha artists on here are groups! Lots o’ Louisiana-type styled lyrics in this 1st verse right chea; it’s a lifestyle! Tha 2nd verse’s pretty good here… I don’t have much ta say about it but it holds it down fa this track. Tha 3rd verse iz here and we have some jiggalatin’-ass hoes, lol! Pretty good once again… My Rating: 4.1


07. Live Boyz “Power Up”
Team 225
Again them? I really think there should be some alternatin’! I know a SHIT-LOAD O’ artists from tha 225, ya dig!! >>> Ehh @ tha beat start wit this Trae/Yung Joc “In The Hood”… This iz like cheatin’ wit these jacked beats. Tha hook sounds GR8 wit tha “power up” sample though! But, I can’t take it too serious on this beat… Tha 1st verse iz here and I’m glad it’s on a club/jiggalatin’-type vibe but I don’t like how this beat’s used… Tha 2nd verse has a pretty good start here wit tha jiggalatin’-type start and tha pretty good fightin’ rhymes too! Tha dude that’s in tha group on tha 3rd verse sounds like he havin’ fun wit dis shit! Definitely nice ta hear him on his chewed-out-type sound!! My Rating: 3.9


08. Rich Town Boys “Booty Muscle”
Team 985
I wonder what I gon think of this…? >>> LOL @ tha ova five minutes on tha length right here; it has ta be pretty good!! This sounds a lil’ on tha older side wit tha way it sounds. However, DEFINITELY feelin’ this jiggin’-type shit!! DEFINITELY HOT right chea for tha clubs and shit like dat! LOL @ tha “you fired” part in tha 1st verse; definitely cool right chea! “Neva outta weed;” thumbs up ta y’all! Infinity ta be!! Nice “radio station” part; you KNOW I’ll hold err-body in tha undaground of Louisiana down on tha radio show I have!! Oh, tha hook’s finally here at 1:29 and it sounds good; thought it was gonna sound a lil’ gay at first! Pretty groovy right chea, ya dig! Tha 2nd verse iz here and lol @ tha “shake ya tailfeather” part. Dat song’s from ’03; how old iz dis? I like tha “huh bruh” shit dat randomly appeared outta nowhere too; good shit right chea! Tha 3rd verse iz here and it sounds pretty wild for a start!! Nearly sounds like Hurricane Chris on tha voice right chea!! Pretty crazy… Oh, he said, “’06,” so this iz four years old. No wonder why a bunch of these songs sound really good wit no Auto-Tune and gay-ass dancin’!! Tha rest of tha song’s holdin’ it down wit tha hook, ya dig!! My Rating: 4.4


½time: Pretty hot competition right chea!! Both teams have four songs so far and it looks like dis:

Team 225: Score: 17.3 | Average CD Rating: 4.3 [4.33 adjusted]
Team 985: Score: 17.9 | Average CD Rating: 4.5 [4.48 adjusted]

^ Pretty good competition!! Only 6/10s iz separatin’ tha champion!! Team 985 won three rounds so far and Team 225 won only one. Currently, Team 985 iz winnin’ wit a 4.5 average CD rating as Team 225 has a 4.3 average CD rating, which means tha overall average CD rating of this mixtape iz 4.4 right now; TIGHT shit!!


09. Gutta Committy “These Streets”
Team 225
Finally, a different 225 group!! DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta this!! Hope it’s REAL GR8!!! >>> Slow start but it sounds nice and “gutta”wit tha beat here! Tha hook DEFINITELY sounds good for tha “streetz” right chea!! Tha 1st verse has rawness in it; no wonder why tha title’s “These Streets”!! Tha 2nd verse iz on some fightin’-type shit right chea wit “bussin’ headz” and all dat good shit! “Puttin’ faces on shirts” too, huh? Shit… VERY “gutta” wit dis shit to tha fullest!! Tha 3rd verse has two different group members on it and it sounds pretty “gutta” once again! “Rollin’ a pill,” huh? Shit, this joint DEFINITELY keepin’ it street to tha fullest!!! My Rating: 4.5


10. Killa Q “Supajuvie”
Team 985
A single person here, lol? This looks interestin’ for tha title and I like tha Q in tha name, ya dig! >>> Tha quality’s kinda shitty here; low quality? Sounds like an anthem for tha unda 18 year-olds. Tha beat’s aight here and I guess could fit wit all tha “A Bay Bay” shit. It’s aight; I’m not really crazy ‘bout this but it’s aight ta listen to… Speakin’ of “A Bay Bay”, this must be ’07 ‘cause you said, “she rock her hips,” like tha Crime Mob song from then. Tha 2nd verse was aight overall… LOL @ tha mouse click @ 2:56! My Rating: 3.5


11. Gutta Committy “Rollin’ In My Zone”
Team 225
They’re here again… If they kept it REAL street in tha previous song, I KNOW this gon be tight too!! >>> Sounds like tha earlier stages of tha “bow, bow/dumb way” shit! Tha beat’s real cool here and this shit sounds tight wit tha mix of fightin’ and poppin’!! Tha hook DEFINITELY wildin’ out!! Tha 1st verse sounds good here; DEFINITELY can’t complain ‘bout dis. Y’all sound like y’all REALLY in tha mode right chea!! Tha 2nd verse iz here and tha good-ass shit continues!! Y’all tha shit wit dis Rap shit; keep doin’ tha damn thang!! A name like Gutta Committy iz tha shit already so you KNOW y’all do tha damn thang on each track you be gettin’ on!! My Rating: 4.6


12. Ya Boy Nem Ent. “Party In Da Paint”
Team 985
A lil’ confusion wit tha DatPiff tracklisting: This really ‘pose ta be tha 12th track; you have it as #13. I can tell ‘cause it came up next when I played it on my iTunes and it continues tha 225 vs. 985 battle. Anyway, this looks good on tha ID so you KNOW this’ll be TIGHT!!! >>> Feelin’ this upbeat beat here and tha “paint” topic’s just GR8 for a Southern song right chea!! Tha 1st verse sounds good; DEFINITELY upliftin’ wit tha mood right chea, ya dig! Y’all doin’ tha damn thang right chea, ya heard me!! Ooh, tha dude on tha 2nd verse has tha “’Bauds” on wit tha “polo” on too; DEFINITELY cool right chea, ya dig!! What’ll tha 3rd verse offer? Pretty intoxicateful, lol!! Tha dude on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse sounds like my boy Lil’ Ganggsta outta Thibodaux! Definitely cool for a contribution right chea wit this GR8 group!! My Rating: 4.7


13. Gilly House Boyz “Man Up”
Team 225
Once again, this iz #13, not #12 (as it was listed like dat on DatPiff). I see a new artist for tha 225 so you KNOW I’ll look forward ta this and this title/topic! >>> Sounds like a familiar beat… Sounds like tha “Go To Church” one but sounds a lil’ different… I’m not 100% sure but it’s gutta, overall! Tha 1st verse pretty good right chea; all these groups doin’ tha damn thang right chea for this mixtape!! What a competition we got here!! “Have yo ass chopped up in tha bag;” WHOA…!!! Tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse’s PRETTY RAW!!! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse keeps this gangsta shit goin’ to tha fullest!! What’ll tha 3rd verse offer? “Niggaz & pistols” together so you KNOW it’s a gang right chea! Tha “hangin’” part about tha “white people hang black people” was pretty raw… Y’all makin’ this joint TOO FUCKIN’ RAW!!! I liked tha two “bruh” parts too in tha mist of all dat gangsta-ass shit!! My Rating: 4.6


14. Rod Beezy “Skittlators”
Team 985
Interestin’ title right chea for tha 985!! I think I really gon like dis one!!! >>> LOL, a “Wipe Me Down” beat? Sounds like tha original “Wipe Me Down” beat rather than tha remix… A female in tha beginning? Who’s she? Tha Rod Beezy dude spittin’ some REAL jigged-out-type shit right chea!! He DEFINITELY “feelin’ so good” on this shit right chea!! DEFINITELY feelin’ this ova a “Wipe Me Down” beat! I like tha “lime-green bag” shit in tha hook; DEFINITELY good shit!! Who’s tha “Yung Kane” dude on tha 2nd verse? I don’t know how ta spell his name correctly so until I do, I’ll put him in tha ID. Anyway, I’m feelin’ what he spittin’ on tha 2nd verse right chea!! I liked tha “huh bruh” shit and tha “I’m on my shit like a baby wit a diaper” part too; REAL GOOD to tha fullest!! Tha female from tha beginning’s now rappin’ on tha 3rd verse right chea… Gotta get tha source of who she iz too so I can put her in tha ID too! She’s doin’ a pretty good job wit this street shit right chea, ya dig! Rod spittin’ gutta shit towards tha end of this too; DEFINITELY nice!! My Rating: 4.7


15. RoyDezzy “Anybody Can Get It”
Team 225
I know RoyDezzy’s tha reason how I found this mixtape (by searchin’ fa one of his mixtapes on tha DatPiff search) but afta hearin’ all tha REALLY TIGHT shit on here, I don’t picture him fittin’ on here… I wonder what this song’ll sound like; hopefully not horrible!!! >>> Oh no, I’m a lil’ scared ta see tha 225 suffer… If I would’ve heard him for tha 1st time here, I would’ve prolly really liked him. Anyway, even though his voice a lil’ weird still, I think this iz much betta than his typical shit; tha beat even sounds original too! Tha rappin’s pretty good; definitely feelin’ it for tha streetz right chea! Why’d tha volume go lower at 1:19? I dunno what dat was but Roy soundin’ pretty good on here! LOL, who’s tha featured artist on tha 2nd verse? Where’s tha source? Either way, not bad on tha feature; glad he contributin’ good street shit. Roy’s back on tha 3rd verse here and he’s got good shit goin’ on here. Shit, why can’t he have shit like dis in tha 2010 world? He’s gotta fuck up wit dat A-Tune shit! Anyway, tha volume went down again ‘round 3:25 again? My Rating: 4.2


16. Lil’ Man “Rockin’ Girbauds”
Team 985
In order for Team 985 to win, they need at least a 4.5 on this joint right chea; will it happen? What’s tha real deal wit this song right chea? Tha DatPiff ID says Lil’ Man “Rockin’ Girbauds” but on tha mp3 info, it says Rod Beezy “Rick James”? I hope it’s tha “Girbauds” one!! >>> A lil’ ova five minutes here on tha length and tha beat intro’s pretty good here! Shit yea, tha beat DEFINITELY sounds HOT here; it’s tha “Rockin’ Girbauds” joint right chea!!! DEFINITELY feelin’ this wit tha combination of “rockin’ Girbauds” and “jiggin’ on tha flo’” too!!! This joint must be at least ’08 ‘cause there was some gay “My Dougie” shit in tha 1st verse… Regardless of dat line, this shit sounds pretty jammin’… Tha 2nd verse iz here and shit, what’s wit these gay-ass dances comin’ through wit tha quotes? I wanna be able ta rate dis good; why do I gotta hear all these gay dances? Yuck @ more dances bein’ quoted… I like tha start to tha 3rd verse here wit tha “2:00 in tha mornin’, we still be rockin’ ‘em” when it comes to tha “Girbauds!” This may be a pretty hot song but unfortunately, it doesn’t crack a 4.5 fa me. Shit, I rated tha RoyDezzy song higher; what a competition!! My Rating: 4.1


Overall: I REALLY enjoyed dis battle right chea!! Although I felt more of tha 985 songs, tha 225 iz REALLY where my heart’s at although 985 DEFINITELY applies fa 2nd place!! Buku people like Lil’ Ganggsta & Lil’ Tez REALLY spark attention ta me when it comes ta tha 985! Oh, and these sets of people on dis mixtape do too! As far as tha 2nd ½, this iz how tha teams scored:

Team 225: Score: 17.9 | Average CD Rating: 4.5 [4.48 adjusted]
Team 985: Score: 17.0 | Average CD Rating: 4.3 [4.25 adjusted]

^ Team 225 won two rounds and Team 985 won two rounds as well. Overall, Team 225 won only three rounds and Team 985 won five rounds. As far as tha scores:

Team 225: Total Score: 35.2 | Average CD Rating: 4.4 [4.40 adjusted]
Team 985: Total Score: 34.9 | Average CD Rating: 4.4 [4.36 adjusted]

^ Team 985 originally won tha 1st round by havin’ 6/10s of a point higher than Team 225. But, Team 225 won tha 2nd ½ by havin’ 9/10s of a point higher than Team 985, makin’ tha totals different by 3/10s! Tha winner of tha competition iz… Team 225!! Congratulations!!
