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!

“Head Up”
>>>
Cool beat start; what will go down? LOL, instant rappin’; great flow, great
rhymin’ goin’ on! Tha hook’s soundin’ nice wit this “head down” shit; you sound
great! You’re real crazy wit it!!
Hope this iz what tha rest of tha CD sounds like!! My Rating: 4.7
02.
“I Want It”
>>>
Good singin’ on tha hook wit this okay beat. More of a singin’ song, but I’m
likin’ how tha beat sounds during tha verses! Sounds great; keep bringin’ combinations of vibes to tha tracks you do! My Rating: 4.3
03.
“Hot”
>>>
Keepin’ tha “hot” beats comin’ along, let’s hear what you got on this one… Tha
hook sounds a lil’ catchy; you’re bringin’ some heat to tha track! Back to tha
rappin’, here, on tha 1st verse, and it’s good! Nice job wit how
you’re comin’ through on tha 2nd verse, Ms. Belle, too! My Rating: 4.2
04.
“Never Giving Up”
>>>
Got a beat from E.P., here, and you got tha rappin’ thang goin’ on, here,
soundin’ good again! Lots goin’ on wit tha 1st verse, here; sounds
kinda long… Tha hook has a good singin’ vibe to it… Huh? A mysterious male rapper
on tha 2nd verse? They got an interestin’ voice fa tha shit you’re
bringin’ to tha table; glad they’re helpin’ out! My Rating: 3.6
05.
“Work”
>>>
LOL @ tha DJ 5150 tags for this; seems random, but I guess I’m not used to ‘em
bein’ on a female’s mixtape. Anyway, sounds like a nice anthem wit tha beat!
Soundin’ good, Belle, on tha mic! Thumbs up wit tha 1st verse; this
“story of [your] life” iz hella tight! Nice and rapid, straight-up neva
stoppin’!! Mon Mack on tha 2nd verse? Almost sounds like it…; who iz
this dude on tha 2nd verse? Too bad they’re not listed on tha
feature, smh… My Rating: 4.5
06.
“Holiday”
>>>
Nice singin’ on tha hook; feelin’ what you bringin’ on this track, too, wit
your “everyday iz a holiday” vibe! Good rappin’ goin’ on, here, wit this track;
likin’ some of tha “holiday” features, lol! Wonder who this iz on tha 2nd
verse? Good rhymin’ goin’ on from this dude, too; nice job “smellin’ like
dank,” lol! My Rating: 4.3
07.
“Break Down”
>>>
Nice beat, here, as it’s a lil’ faster than usual; good singin’, too! Rhymes
sound good, here; thumbs up fa your great, versatile style! My Rating: 4.4
08.
“Turning Me On”
>>>
Startin’ off wit a mysterious dude on tha 1st verse; not bad for a
start, but sounds too mainstream wit tha flow, lyrics, and beat choice… Here
you are wit some singin’ on tha 2nd verse, and you sound betta; you
do a nice job on this beat wit your singin’. Yea, “role-playin’,” lol! My Rating: 3.9
½time: Doin’ a real nice job fa singin’ and rappin’!! You got a good ear for
beats, too, as you’re comin’ through wit an interestin’ style!! This CD’s at a 4.2 for
tha CD rating, currently!!
09.
“Why Ya Love So Blind”
>>>
Likin’ how tha sound of tha beat sounds a lil’ electronic dancy! Ooh, a lil’ on
a Jamaican vibe wit tha singin’ hook; nice job, Belle! Great voice; good job wit tha rappin’, too! Unique style at its
finest!! Also, I like how this iz quicker than usual; just gettin’ to tha point
without boring! Great 2nd
verse; you ain’t stoppin’!! My Rating: 4.5
10.
“Lies”
>>>
I like that “talkin’ to you iz like talkin’ to a poster” line; that’s not what a Belle like you deserves!!
Good job wit tha rappin’; you kickin’ ass! Tha singin’ sounds betta on tha
hook; whoo! Great shit!! Continuin’ ta hear this, and this song sounds like it
could be a female Eminem joint or somethin’, like you bein’ signed to
Shady/Aftermath! My Rating: 4.3
11.
“Is This The Life”
>>>
Good singin’ ova this nice beat, Belle! Thumbs up fa dat hook and keep ‘em
comin’! Ooh, a random dude rappin’ wit a great attitude on tha mic, on tha 1st
verse! Good shit goin’ on, here! You got your rappin’ goin’ on, too, durin’ tha
2nd verse; street shit that’s soundin’ pretty nice! My Rating: 4.2
12.
“Nobody Else” Feat. Foxx
>>>
Sounds like Foxx in tha beginning? Will I get a feature correct, finally? Good
singin’ on tha hook; sounds like some bullshit goin’ on in your life? Oh yes,
it’s Foxx on tha 1st verse; good collaboration, as he handles tha
bullshit goin’ on in your life and tries ta attack it! Anotha verse from Foxx?
Guess this iz him featurin’ you? LOL, a 3rd one, too! Good job
singin’ for him, though! My Rating: 3.8
13.
“Waiting For Love”
>>>
First jacked beat on this mixtape; good singin’ on tha hook/lyrics… You even
got tha rappin’ goin’ on, here, and it’s not bad; hope you do get some true “love!” Got some singin’ goin’ on wit tha rest of
this shit… My Rating: 3.7
14.
“Stop Trying”
>>>
How dare this person bring your
paranoia up!! They should jerk-off
instead of jerkin’ you tha wrong way!
Likin’ how you sound on this song wit your singin’; catchy shit goin’ on here,
even though this 4:30 length might be a lil’ too long? But, I’m feelin’ this
one, at least! My Rating: 4.0
15.
“She Like Me” Feat. Foxx
>>>
Back to tha Foxx feature; let’s see how this goes… Sounds like a catchy song;
it seems like Foxx’s gettin’ inta everyone’s bones when he says, “Don’t wife
her!” Ahh, Foxx!! Catchy shit he bringin’ to tha table, here; definitely
feelin’ it!! Ahh, “don’t wife her!!” LOL, so much he had ta offer; you were put
toward tha end of this joint, and you got some singin’ goin’ on… Not bad; glad
you fit into this Foxx song. Some of your lyrics sound a lil’ recycled from one
of tha previous jointz, here? My Rating:
4.4
16.
“Never Had Nothin’”
>>>
Sounds like it gon be a street anthem wit tha beat, how you’re rappin’ in tha
beginning, and that you gon “get tha tooly?” Couldn’t exactly make out who’s on
tha 1st verse (“Tim James”? Iz that what I heard?), but their rhymes
sound decent/above-average for me. Here you are on tha 2nd verse,
comin’ through wit some “shit dat knock ya socks off,” rappin’ style!
Mysterious person on tha 3rd verse, too… Sounds like they’re fresh;
I like how they mentioned Slim Thug wit tha “boss” part, lol. My Rating: 3.8
17.
“Story Of My Life”
>>>
Endin’ it wit a singin’-soundin’ song… Not bad wit tha verses, but tha Jamaican
voice makes this sound betta, on tha hook. A lil’ bit of rappin’ goin’ on, here
and there; not bad, although a lil’ too long… My Rating: 3.7
Overall: Definitely proved ta people that this iz a HOT CD! Great job,
Southn Belle; keep up tha great
work!! Your versatility iz what some of these people need—oh wait, it usually
sounds weird on dudes, for me, so I think some of these females need your
versatility!
