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 use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk
about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics),
I’m not buyin’ it!

01.
“Ticket Counter” / Intro
An
I.G.N. production; how will this sound? >>> Sounds like some
classic-soundin’ music… Lol, here you are wit tha rappin’; I like how this
sounds, especially for an intro track… Tha intro part toward tha 2nd
½ of this sounds okay; kinda random… My
Rating: 4.2
02.
“Airplane’n”
Didn’t
know DJ Burn One (compound name?) produces tracks…; betta be a Southern vibe
and not a typical, everyone-has-tha-same-sound sound! >>> Okay, I’m
likin’ this; nice job wit tha production, and you’re doin’ a nice job wit your
rhymes. Congratulations on tha 50,000+ views, 3,900+ streams, and 19,000+
downloads on DatPiff! Funny-soundin’ hook? Weird voice, but I guess I’ll accept
this, since there’s more positives comin’ outta this… Damn, I didn’t realize
tha length was almost seven minutes long? :confused Who are tha features in
this song? I’m confused… Lol, anotha part toward tha end of tha song? My Rating: 4.3
03.
“I Got It All” Feat. Birdman & K.O
What
iz this? >>> No producer listed? Jacked? An okay sound; nothin’
special. What’s wit tha low-quality-soundin’ hook, and then, tha clear vocals
from you? A paste? Not bad… My Rating: 3.5
04.
“Super Clean” Feat. A.Smith
TrakkSounds
on this beat. >>> Okay, but smh @ all tha “swag” shit in tha hook,
especially sung? :confused Okay, tha
beat’s addin’ some instruments durin’ your 1st verse; nice combo and
not bad, overall, except tha hook. My
Rating: 3.7
05.
“Rags 2 Riches” Feat. Gerald G
A
Yung Stylez beat. >>> Damn, they had put a beat tag in tha beginning
of their beat, smh; hope that ‘trend’ ends!! Either way, lol @ tha Ludacris
sample on tha hook; sounds like it’s a nice beat, overall, throughout this
track. You got some consistent rhymes goin’ on here, Shane. As far as Gerald G,
guess he really iz a “G” ‘cause his
rhymes are nice; good job, includin’
tha voice he bringin’ to tha streetz! My
Rating: 4.3
06.
“Good Green” Feat. A-Dub
Not
sure what ta make outta a no-producer-listed song… >>> Nice start from
dat A-Dub dude! You know I luv me
some “good green,” lol, especially when it’s in a song! Tha beat’s pretty hot
wit this sound, fa a no-producer-listed song! Lol, here you are on tha 2nd
verse, and you already know this
shit’s on-n-poppin’! “Puffin’ on exotic;” you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.5
07.
“Regulators”
Anti-DatPiff,
here? They removed this; lemme see what we got for a 30-second sample…
>>> Oh, no wonder (tha title, made plural); sounds good wit tha quick
rhymes. Once again, R.I.P. Nate Dogg; who would’ve thought Whitney would be wit
him in under a year! For a jacked beat, I like it. My Rating: 3.9
08.
“A Mother’s Story”
Ryan
Hunt on tha beat, but an apostrophe should be in tha title. >>> A
really quiet start; sounds like a Sade sample in tha beginning, which iz
gettin’ me anticipated ta hear this… After a 42-second anticipation, here comes
tha beat, and it’s pretty nice…; givin’ credit ta this, fasho! Some of tha
rhymes are ehh, but I can fuck wit this… My
Rating: 4.2
½time: You doin’ a nice job wit this mixtape, so far,
Shane; gotta get some of these jointz on my radio show! A 4.2-rated CD, currently!!
09.
“Venting”
Yung
Stylez on tha beat. >>> Lol, I thought you said my college’s name in
tha beginning of your 1st verse… As for this joint, it sounds nice
wit how you’re bringin’ it to tha streetz, wit this somewhat-laidback beat
style… My Rating: 3.9
10.
“Hatin’” Feat. 2feet
Big
Retti beat, here; Two Feet usually spells his name as “2feet”, so I’ll put it
tha way he spells it. >>> It’s okay, so far; seems like it’s 2feet
takin’ over more of tha song than you, Shane. You’re soundin’ pretty-good wit
tha shit you’re spittin’, even though some of this shit falls into tha
‘typical’ category, wit tha rhymes. Tha hook’s a lil’ catchy, but I feel like
it’s a rip-off of Kevin Gates. :td Yea, I think this iz more like 2feet
featuring you; it’s prolly on this mixtape ‘cause it’s a great collaboration. My Rating: 3.8
11.
“Just Shane”
Kangaroo?
Did I read dat right, lol? Time ta skip and hop wit this one? >>>
Samplin’ some music in tha beginning, but it sounds hot for a really low BPM
song, lol. Good job wit rappin’ on a beat like this; you’re strictly flyin’ wit this mixtape title, here! My Rating: 4.0
12.
“Trippin’”
Nic
Brem on tha beat, here. >>> Even slower, lol? Sounds like some creepy
music, on a tight level; good shit… I also like that you don’t sound tha same
wit your voice, here; keepin’ it gangsta wit this shit, too… My Rating: 4.3
13.
“Stressin’” Feat. Lil’ Paul
A
D Hall beat… >>> Sounds like a loopy merry-go-round wit tha beat
sounds, here, lol; gotta feel it! Tha hook sounds tight; gotta toke on dat
good! You doin’ ya thang, here, Shane; nice job! Once again, you collaboratin’
wit a tight-ass G, here, as this Lil’ Paul dude sounds like a big dude dat can
kick ass! My Rating: 4.4
14.
“Roll One” Feat. Settaman
Looks
like a good title, again! >>> Sounds like a random, fast start… Now, I
hear tha actual beat and song; an okay, good song about rollin’ “one” up. My Rating:
3.7
15.
“One Life” Feat. Ace Money
Ace
Money also producin’ tha track? >>> Damn @ tha beat tag and soundin’
like one of Cam’ron/The Diplomats’ songs from tha early 2000s… Even though it
sounds like a previously-used loop on tha beat, this ain’t too bad for me… Ace Money sounds okay fa what he’s offerin’; a lil’
bit of a mix between The Show & Curren$y thrown into a blender. My Rating: 3.6
16.
“Mama I’ll Save Us”
I
dunno about this title; lol @ havin’ a Vybe beat end it off… >>> More
of an outro, here, wit tha funny intro, lol. Okay, tha lyrics ain’t too bad,
but tha vibe of this joint ain’t too
special, since it sounds like typical, mainstream music. My Rating: 3.5
Overall: I thought this was a nice
mixtape, Shane; great job wit your guest features, too, since most of them
kicked lots of ass! Keep up tha great
work wit your grindin’…
