01. RNR Intro -> Alright lemme hear tha intro. >>> Okay. My Rating: N/A

04. 10-4 -> Iz this a song finally? I have anticipation for it anyway! >>> Yes a song! Bobbin' my head to this shit right now. Tha hook iz pretty good, but his rhymes are off tha chain! My Rating: 4.0
05. Wes Fif Speaks (R.I.P.s) -> I'm guessing shout outs to tha fallen ones. >>> I hear tha emotion in his voice. R.I.P. to whoever he lost. My Rating: N/A
06. I'm Paid -> THIS IZ MY SHIT RIGHT HERE!!!!! >>> Beat iz on point, but that hook... that's what caught my attention! It's THA FUCKIN' SHIT, and my quote on my Myspace currently. Tha rhyme are also OFF THA CHAIN!! Very hot line! "I'mma be here for a while, aye lemme kick my shoes off." That's hot right there. My Rating: 4.0
07. RNR Break -> A break? >>> Liking tha background music in tha beginning. That beat iz pretty good in tha background when Fat Joe speaks. My Rating: N/A
08. Welcome To Orlando Feat. Jon Young -> A song and a feature I see. I have anticipation for this too! >>> I dunno about that beat... R&Bish? Tha chorus iz not bad, but this didn't meet my expectations. Okay Wes Fif gave this song some life on tha 2nd verse. My Rating: 3.2
09. Wes Fif Checks In -> Let's see what my big dawg has to say now. >>> Nice beat in tha background. Yeah Wes Fif speakin' tha truth again! My Rating: N/A
10. G-Code -> This was tha song from tha mixtape L.B. sent me... that Gunshine State one. Lemme re-hear this again. I think I'mma rate it 4.0 but lemme re-hear. >>> I'm really feelin' tha Timbaland and AOL lines. Feelin' that hook! I like how Wes Fif says "dawg" a lot. That's wassup. Also really feelin' tha Monopoly and singing like Rihanna lines! This beat iz on point too! My Rating: 4.0
11. Get On Ur Grind -> *Checks tha length to see if it's a song* Yes it iz! I have anticipation for this! >>> Feelin' tha intro wit that hot beat! Always loved tha "lemonlime" line, lol. Really feelin' his flow on this one! Damn that beat iz raw!! My Rating: 4.0
12. Bigga Rankin Talks To The Haters -> Let's see what he gon say. >>> Nice quiet beat intro. Beat kicks in, and it sounds aight. My Rating: N/A
13. Haterz Everywhere Feat. B.O.B. -> Alright this song again. Not bad for a first listen, although it sounded mainstreamish. Lemme hear it again. >>> There's tha "My Love" wit extra BPM intro, which it sounds like a dance/techno song. I gotta check its BPM. *Checks* Ah... just like a really good dance/techno, or more like a trance song. Its got 139 BPM [EDIT: It's really 70]. Feelin' tha first verse. Tha hook iz starting to get better. Yeah this song grew on me since my first listen! Definitely predict this song going big in tha mainstream someday (maybe a first single?), but I'm hoping not a pop song. My Rating: 3.8
EDIT: BPM iz 69. I was wrong 'cause I didn't know that most urban songs are cut in half of when I scan tha BPM.
14. I'm A G Boy -> I like tha title already. Have high anticipation for this! >>> First off, thumbs up on tha "I'm A D-Boy" beat. 2nd, it must be a freestyle, so I wanna hear. 3rd, he mentioned Girbauds. Thumbs up. I can't wait to get my pairs! Pretty good. My Rating: 4.0
15. Wes Fif Speaks -> >>> Yup. Speaking tha truth again! Tell 'em Fif! My Rating: N/A
16. Nothin Like Feat. Chubby Relle -> Looks interesting. High AL (Anticipation Level) >>> Slow beat intro... This iz currently aight. Nothing has surprised me yet in this song... Wes Fif gave it some life on tha 3rd verse. My Rating: 3.0
17. Trick Daddy Check In -> Let's see watz good wit him. >>> Not feelin' that snap beat. Yuck... My Rating: N/A
18. Real Talk -> Tha title speaks for itself! That's what Wes Fif iz! Now let's see how he handles tha song. >>> Nice intro hook! It iz tha truth! "Spit fire like a barbeque." 3rd verse iz tha best. My Rating: 3.9
19. Bigga Rankin Official Cosign -> Song or skit? Oh skit. Lemme hear. >>> Nice chant in that beat, and tha beat iz pickin' up! My Rating: N/A
