Reviewed on 5.27.2010 (Review #475)




Wakin’ up right chea to anotha review… Continuin’ from yesterday, my next review iz DJ Testarosa & Louisiana Ca$h “Ca$h, No Credit”. Start Time: 9:42 AM | End Time: 10:44 AM


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. Intro
Let’s see what you got ta say here for tha intro… >>> “Greatest mixtape of all time,” huh? Can you prove it? My Rating: N/A


02. “Freestyle”
What’ll this sound like? It sounds like tha beat’s already good from tha end of tha intro. >>> Oh, this again (tha 1st one from tha last mixtape) wit tha “So Amazing” beat. I really like this start: “Rollin’ up tha weed, thinkin’ ‘bout a verse!” Okay, this definitely iz tha Kanye West beat now… Cool rhymes here; nice job! Looks like you gon hold these raps down! My Current Rating: 4.1


03. “Movie”
Let’s see how you gon present dis as a “movie…” >>> LOL @ tha rain start here in tha background. Tha beat’s cool (kinda like a “movie”) and you got gutta rhymes here wit a laidback flow. I like tha “Scooby Doo/Scooby do” part; good shit! Just like tha “So Amazing” freestyle above, I think you got dat good set of punchlines here and you’re continuin’ ‘em! I like how you ended tha song wit, “So, we’ve come to tha end of tha movie;” interestin’ shit, which applies wit tha theme. My Rating: 4.3


04. “Get Money”
Let’s see dis one… >>> Tha beat sounds good; almost familiar here. You got more interestin’ rhymes on this one right chea too. Durin’ tha 2nd ½ of this song, it sounds like it’s Southern and more focused! My Rating: 4.0


05. “Walk Wit A Dip (Remix)” Feat. Dorrough
Oh, here’s this again. Dorrough’s on tha feature here but no Chalie Boy, lol? I guess ‘cause this prolly tha 1st remix… Still sounds pretty good wit tha same beat, hook and tha 1st verse still iz good here wit you on it. Dorrough’s on tha 2nd verse and it’s okay; I guess he’s good ta collab wit. Tha endin’ wit all tha “walk wit a dip” shit fit for this too… My Rating: 3.9


06. “Go Gurl”
Good, you have this joint on here too, ya dig! This sounds like it gon be stereotyped as somethin’ like “Stanky Legg” or somethin’… Oh, wasn’t this tha 2nd single or somethin’? This iz good although it looks familiar from somewhere… Pretty good, catchy song here. I like how you say tha title, lol. Tha 2nd verse sounds like it gon be good wit “take this pill” and all dat, although this iz slowly endin’ quickly… Actually, it’s tha full verse but tha time ain’t movin’ on my iTunes… My Current Rating: 3.9


07. Talk
Let’s see what you got goin’ on here… >>> You guys holdin’ this mixtape down right chea! I like tha “Drop dat shiiiiiiit!!” My Rating: N/A


08. “Put The Camera On Me”
This gon sound like a “classik” kinda song? >>> Tha beat’s cool and I like tha female in tha hook; y’all collaboratin’ good! You makin’ this a pretty good song on tha 1st verse right chea; I still really like tha female though, overall. Tha 2nd verse sounds aight but then sounds like it’s gettin’ betta. I like tha “pill/roll on” shit here; gives it a thumbs up to tha vibe! My Rating: 3.7


09. “Call Me (Juicy)”
LOL, it was reversed on tha title on tha last mixtape… I feel interested in this ‘cause of how juiced up tha Lil’ Wayne sample sounds; make it sound a lil’ funny. Tha 1st verse iz good for somethin’ to jam to. Tha 2nd verse sounds like you feelin’ good wit err-thang you doin’ wit dis Rap shit. I didn’t know a 3rd verse was gonna fit on this and it sounds pretty good; I like your “SWV, I can make you weak” line! <- To add: Tha 1st time, it was just you givin’ out your numba and now, tha DJ’s givin’ out his numba too, lol! My Current Rating: 4.3


10. “Look How I’m Rockin’”
Tha DJ put “CRAZY HOT!!” on tha back cover so let’s see if this iz official… >>> Tha intro sounds anticipatin’ here. For some reason, it’s startin’ ta sound like a street song! Well, tha beat iz but tha lyrics sound like everything here on tha hook… This iz more of a swag song wit a street beat; thumbs up to tha beat! A lil’ bit of a Max Minelli-soundin’ flow right chea on tha 1st verse; sounds cool fa me… Tha 2nd verse’s a lil’ typical wit tha cockiness… My Rating: 3.8


11. “Whoa Now”
How “whoa”’ll this be? Lemme find out by hearin’ it! >>> Tha beat sounds gutta this time; you have tha sounds on lock right chea! Tha hook sounds pretty catchy here; who can complain about havin’ “your jam,” ya dig? Tha 1st verse’s aight; there’s nothin’ ta really get excited about it though… Tha 2nd verse’s aight also. I like tha “5-1-5-0” flow part; dat sounds hot. My Rating: 4.1


½time: This iz soundin’ like a good mixtape; I’ll give it a plus since tha average CD rating’s currently at 4.0!


12. “Thro’ A Grand” Feat. Showtime
I have a feelin’ this gon be gr8, typical or both combined… >>> Startin’ off wit anotha good beat so dat’s a plus… I don’t have any comment on tha shit bein’ spit in tha 1st verse, unfortunately… Tha hook sounds cool; I can’t complain about it… It almost sounds like T.I.? I hear Showtime on tha 2nd verse and I’m feelin’ it betta than tha 1st verse here… I like tha street perspective in tha 2nd verse; good shit. Looks like there’s room for a 3rd verse… This iz an aight verse… Now, it switches to tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse and it’s you, spittin’ a lil’ bit of betta shit. Y’all like broke even on this track; 50/50! My Rating: 4.2


13. Talk
Now, let’s see where we at… >>> A lil’ bit of promotion for yourself right chea on this intermission. My Rating: N/A


14. “Freestyle 2”
Time fa anotha “freestyle” here… >>> “Cash Flow” beat; make dat “Ca$h Flow,” lol. This iz tha shortest freestyle on here so far but nice job wit how you comin’ through on this beat. LOL @ tha imitation of tha T-Pain part of tha “Cash Flow” hook… My Rating: 4.0


15. “Ole School Chevy” Feat. Spark Dawg & Yung Texxus
Shit yea! Glad you threw dis one on dis mixtape right chea ‘cause it DEFINITELY was required!! I like how tha beginning sounds wit tha hook; reminds me of tha follow-up to “Walk Wit A Dip”! Nice beat on this shit and you’re on tha 1st verse doin’ a nice job right chea! You tha champ when it comes to tha “car shows;” good shit! Here comes $park on tha 2nd verse; let’s see what he gon offer! Comin’ through wit those good-ass “ridin’”-type content right chea! Glad you made a GOOD Texas collaboration right chea! I definitely feel like it was DEFINITELY worth it!! Now, tha final verse from Texxus… Soundin’ good here; rapid-fire when it comes to tha rappin’! REAL crazy wit tha “wish, wish, wish, wish” at 3:39! DEFINTIELY thumbs up right chea!! My Current Rating: 4.6


16. “Give Me That Beat”
I believe dis was anotha gr8 one! Tha “beat”’s on point and you’re NICE and demandin’ on tha hook right chea! All dat repetitiveness sounds hot! Sounds like you grindin’ on tha 1st verse right chea; nice and motivated! Tha 2nd verse iz now on dis mixtape and it sounds like you still feelin’ good wit your rappin’ right chea! A lil’ short on tha verse but it was aight ‘cause tha 1st verse was betta. My Current Rating: 4.2


17. “Freestyle 3”
What beat’ll this be? >>> Tha beat’s familiar here but I can’t 100% identify it ‘cause I don’t really follow tha mainstream anymore. It sounds like a lil’ bit of a talk break in tha beginning of this…; when will tha rappin’ start? Okay, here it iz @ :31. It was good fa this; not bad. You know you hold tha tracks down. My Rating: 3.7


18. “Russ, I Got You”
Looks like a dedication title… I dunno so let’s see when I hear it. >>> Okay, glad it’s not sad but I felt like my earphones broke or somethin’ @ :10 when it played as just in tha left speaker and then just in tha right speaker. LOL @ tha trick but it sounds like you havin’ fun wit tha rappin’ here… Tha shit sounds pretty good ‘round 1:28! Then again, when you sayin’, “’Cause I’m from Louisiana,” it sounds like I heard this before but just wit a different title? Okay, it had no title tha last time, as it was just called “Freestylin’ Again”. Here’s what originally went down: Tha beat’s good for a freestyle and you soundin’ like you on tha way ta be on top or somethin’ here. I like how you sound on this so it’s a lil’ bit of a plus. You really continuin’ tha rappin’ here! Soundin’ HOT wit from tha “Beep Beep” quote and on! My Current Rating: 3.9


19. “Pussy Fee” Feat. S.T.
Oh, what iz this? >>> This sounds catchy but I can’t agree wit wastin’ all your money on these females… Tha beat sounds like it’s a trap anthem or somethin’ so dat passes. Tha 1st verse sounds like you holdin’ dis down… I do like tha hook (and how it sounds) but I would neva take it serious… Tha 2nd verse’s S.T. and he’s “hiccup, hiccup, hiccup”in’, lol! His verse was cool; nice job on tha flow! What’s wit tha gurl @ 3:16? Kinda random (since she’s not sourced)… At least she’s contributin’ to tha track good. My Rating: 3.9


20. “I’m Grindin’”
That you are! >>> Oh, anotha title switch as this was tha “My Life (Freestyle)”. I’m not too crazy ‘bout hearin’ rappin’ ova this beat; it’s kinda typical. However, your content’s pretty good on here; keepin’ tha streetz hot! Ooh @ dat line before tha song ended: “I got tha sacrifice of a nigga rollin’ dice;” thumbs up! My Current Rating: 3.6


21. Outro
Oh, are we gonna have anotha bonus song afta dis, lol? >>> I still can’t agree wit tha “best mixtape of all time;” dat’s a lil’ too extreme… Thanx for tha “stay up on yo grind” advice and tha people you shouted out too. My Rating: N/A


22. “Feeling Myself” Feat. Miz
Y’all put tha “el” as “le” in “myself” on tha DatPiff ID… Anyway, hope this doesn’t turn out ta be like dat gay bonus song on tha last CD! >>> Okay, this iz good; a lil’ bit on a mainstream vibe here… Tha beat really sounds good @ :46! Tha end of tha 1st verse sounds like some good grindin’ so thumbs up on dat. Tha 2nd verse iz here and it sounds like you holdin’ it down right chea for tha streetz, Ca$h! Sounds like tha “I’m Feeling Myself” song from Wild Yella @ 2:24 – 2:28… LOL… Miz’s on tha 3rd verse here and he sounds good when he’s rappin’. As far as tha verse, it’s aight but iz delivered good. I like tha ending as it’s “I’m tha shit, I’m tha shit” repeatin’ while it fades out! My Rating: 4.2


Overall: LOL, there were no ratings lower than 3.6 so you did ya thang here! I think this mixtape was pretty consistent; you holdin’ it down!
