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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

“Middle Finger” feat. Kidd Kidd & Young Buck
Let’s

hosted it? Feelin’ tha beat, so far; nice shit… Here’s Kidd on tha 1st
verse, comin’ through wit some nice street shit! I swear, they go off more on
tha tracks when they’re with you, Gates! LOL @ tha “titties out, if you want
some breast milk” line; good shit, Kidd! Almost thought that was you on tha 2nd
verse but it’s Buck, here, comin’ through with some good shit… Here you come
through on tha 3rd verse, spittin’ some nice shit fa tha streetz…
Gotta luv them “gold mouth dawgz!” My
Rating: 4.3

“Mexico”
feat. Stiches
I
recognize this…; Murder For Hire
mixtape, here… My Current Rating: 4.2
03.
“To The Money” feat. Hurricane Chris
Let’s
see this collab, despite tha title… >>> Hearin’ tha beat and it’s
pretty nice; kinda reminds me of some Yo Gotti or Game-type shit? Nice shit
from Chris on tha 1st verse, here, spittin’ dem flamez! Here you are
on tha hook and despite tha title, at least there’s a lotta
gettin’-fucked-up-type shit on tha hook! Can’t complain too much ‘bout this
one; it goes off… Here you are on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through with
some good shit; nice and consistent! Sounds like you’re nice and hoarse with
your voice, here, Gates, lol… My Rating:
4.2
04.
“Grind For It” feat. Khaotic
>>>
Not feelin’ tha weird voice on tha hook, at first, but who knows, it could
grow? Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and, of course, I always luv your
“dope” and “pyrex”-type rhymes; fa’eva a legend, Gates!! Nice job wit tha 2nd
verse, too, here; good shit! And, hearin’ tha 3rd verse from tha
both of y’all and it sounds nice fa a collab! Definitely some catchy shit,
overall; gotta keep grindin’!! My Rating: 4.0
05.
“The Truth”
LOL,
I ain’t even know what was gonna come next… But yeah, fuck these females! That
whole thing that “happened in Florida”
was like, WTF? She shouldn’t’ve made tha initiative!! Definitely a song that
goes hard, overall; great job expressin’ these emotions, Gates! My Current Rating: 4.7
06.
“I Feel Like” feat. 2 Chainz
Anotha
collab between y’all two? >>> Tha previous collab was definitely nice
but “I feel like” (lol) this gon be tighter! Definitely diggin’ tha slow intro
with you on tha hook! Definitely somethin’ that makes me “feel like” I’m even
more superhuman than before! It’s all about that kush!! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and it’s Deuce Chainz (lol),
comin’ through with his usual-soundin’ rhymes; I fux wit it… Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and it’s Chainz again, deuce fa a deuce with tha verses, here, lol!
Again, his usual-soundin’ rhymes that sound good on this beat… This disc must
be mainly songs featuring you? Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it’s Chainz
again, lol… Once again, it’s nice ta hear! My
Rating: 4.5
07.
“Fall” feat. Maino & Money
Damn,
someone’s name iz “Money,” smh? >>> Diggin’ tha beginning, here;
always luv how you hold those note-oh-oh-oh-oh-otes,
lol! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you and it sounds great ta hear… LOL
@ you sayin’, “Customers;” feel like I’m drowned in that word! Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse from Maino and he sounds random ta be on a song witchu… However, it still
sounds nice ta hear. Hearin’ this 3rd verse from this Money dude and
wow, it’s not about “money!” Who
knew?!? It’s more on tha real-life-soundin’ tip; sounds good… Nice synth at tha
end, here… My Rating: 4.1
08.
“Bang Bang” feat. Trevor Jackson
No
features? >>> Instantly startin’, here… Thought it would be shorter
but it’s 4:15? Hearin’ a voice on tha hook; no credit? Prolly would’ve rather
it be just you on this, Gates; voice on tha hook’s aight… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and it’s this dude… Lemme do my searchin’… *Searches…* Aight, it’s Trevor
Jackson. Tha 1st verse, overall, ain’t that bad… Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and it’s you, Gates; sounds nice… Definitely diggin’ your consistent
rhymes with these “burgers” and all that! Totally made me forget this was on
tha R&B tip once you came in! I swear, how did God create you? You
literally are tha greatest!! Back to tha R&B tip on tha 3rd
verse, here; don’t really dig when he tries to catch his breath during tha
rhymes! My Rating: 3.7
09.
“Tomorrow”
>>> Sounds like it’s a hot joint, here, with tha beat… “I’m on a lotta drugs, I’m out my body,” lol. I thought I might’ve heard this from somewhere, whether I got a sample or somethin’, but tha hook definitely sounds familiar… Either way, if this tha 1st time I’m officially reviewin’ it, it’s definitely hot! Great, smooth hook! Tha 1st verse’s nice ta hear, as you got your shit on lock, Gates! Tha 2nd verse sounds nice, too, and toward tha end of tha 2nd verse, it sounds like you’re randomly driftin’ off somewhere, lol… My Rating: 4.3

½time: Sounds like a nice lil’
mainstream-soundin’ CD fa you, Gates; I fux wit it… At tha moment, we have a 4.2 for
tha CD rating; let’s keep it goin’!
10.
“Boss Shit (Remix)” feat. 550
Not
sure who 550 iz, but let’s see how this goes down… >>> Kinda sounds
like a jacked Future on tha 1st verse, here; let’s see if I feel
this, altogether… It sounds like it could be tight, in a way, but kinda like
tha mainstream, southern music that’s out right now that I wouldn’t love-love…
Hearin’ you spit and it sounds nice, though it sounds a lil’ low on tha vocals
or track, overall? A decent track at its best, overall, though I can fuck wit
it, a lil’… My Rating: 3.6
11.
“Whippin’ Up” feat. Chedda Da Connect & Scrilla
LOL!
Even though I can’t stand auto-tune and it bein’ awkward with Chedda’s voice, I
do really love this one! I feel like he’s bein’ seduced while recording with
that voice, lol, but fa’real, it’s a great song fa tha trap! Err-body does a
nice job on this, whether they sound fucked-up or not! Gates, of course, you
had tha best, most-normal-voiced verse on this shit and you own it! LOL, gotta
luv when Chedda says, “Real street
nigga who ain’t scared ta sell shit!” It’s almost like he drowned in auto-tune,
lol! My Current Rating: 4.6
12.
“I’m Sayin’”
Damn,
only 47 seconds? >>> Sounds great ta hear! Consistent with a nice beat
in tha background! And, it ended outta nowhere! My Rating: 4.6
13.
“I Like That”
>>>
Sounds nice; kinda reminds me of tha Baton Rouge Gates I knew, with tha “mane”
shit, lol. But yeah, this shit sounds nice ta hear; tha beat’s so quiet, lol.
Tha hook sounds catchy; definitely diggin’ what you always bring to tha table!
Tha 2nd verse sounds nice ta hear, too; you got this on lock fa dem
bitches! My Rating: 4.2
14.
“Worst Pain”
LOL
@ only 43 seconds! >>> Good shit; who cares if your “clothes dirty!”
That’s how you’re real! That’s why, we all love you ta pieces, Gates!! Tight
shit, once again! My Rating: 4.4
15.
“Rollin’ Around”
Let’s
hear it! >>> A lil’ slow sound, here, and an okay hook… Rappin’s a
lil’ random, here; sounds like you just came up with random shit… “BWA;” shout
it again, lol! Again, hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds kinda
random with what you’re spittin’… Nice, random Jamaican shit toward tha end,
here… My Rating: 3.5
16.
“Work”
SMH,
only kept tha 39 seconds, here? Prolly could’ve used tha whole entire song here
instead of, like, tha previous song! Either way, definitely a classic joint!
Would’ve been a perfect rating if tha whole thang was on here with Lua Proc,
but for now, I’ll just rate it off your verse! My Current Rating: 4.8
17.
“Kno One”
Here
it iz, once again, lol! My Current
Rating: 4.2
18.
“Monster” feat. Jo Rodeo
Now,
let’s see how we gon wrap this shit up! No Lua Proc on #16 but we have someone
here? Will they be worth it? Prolly won’t be worth near as much as Lua Proc but
let’s see… >>> Hearin’ this dude on tha 1st verse and it
kinda reminds me of a mix between Tyga & Problem… Nothin’ too interesting
fa me; just a random newbie fa me… “Shoppin’ at tha Dollar Tree;” noooooooo,
smh! Tha hook’s a lil’ boring fa me; not that crazy about this, overall…
Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse and you bring some life ta this, Gates…
Definitely feelin’ your consistency at all
times; good shit! My Rating: 3.4
Overall: Not too bad, overall; I
was feelin’ this… Nothin’ too striking for new jointz, but still, a nice lil’
Gates-featured compilation, overall!
