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 sound like anything too mainstream for me or have
auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not
buyin’ it!

01. "Intro (That Price)"
Let's hear tha start of tha mixtape. I heard this joint on Natureboy's Myspace page a real long time ago. >>> I like that lil' extra intro part. Nice that there's mixing in this too. Tha thing that really makes tha song good iz tha "dun-da-da-dun-dun" in tha hook! I love that, and that caught my attention in a real good way, right away! Real nice start to tha mixtape. Great rhymes (what I usually expect from Natureboy), and right now I'm currently wit my boy Terrence a.k.a. T.O. chillin'. My Rating: 4.6
02. "I'm Not Them"
I've heard before, and I still love it since I reviewed it. REAL good beat by King Stunna, and tha song just describes what I go through on a daily basis: "I'm tha best in my city and I ain't even signed" True Fact No. 1. "Got more than sellin' dope and fuckin' broads on my mind." True Fact No. 2. "I ain't talkin' like them, I ain't rappin' like them, I ain't nothin' like them 'cause I'm not them!" True Fact No. 3. I say this 'cause I'm Autistic, and I don't really do things most people do. I'm not a "follower". My Rating: 5.0
03. "My Wheels Clean"
I think I remember hearing this one too... >>> Tha Bow Wow sample from "I Think They Like Me (Remix)" sounds great! Great Texas beat! This iz some pure shit right here. More tight rhymes from Natureboy on this joint! My Rating: 4.5
04. "So Terrific"
I like tha title, and now I finna give this one a review, so let's see what comes outta me. >>> Tha voice sounds a lil' younger... It does sound good tho. Feelin' that hook a lot. I just realized that I never did a review wit anybody around. There's like 50-70 people in this lunch room right now so it seems odd. A lot of people talkin' to me/gettin' my attention while I'm doin' tha review right now. Lol. It's like I usually never get tha recognition, but now that I'm doin' a review (without people knowing), I'm gettin' recognition. Lol… My Rating: 3.9
05. "Thanking Throwed"
Looks like a new joint. Looking forward to hearing so I got a High AL! Hope Natureboy did tha damn thang!! >>> Yes this iz new sounding. Nice lil' hi hat sounds in tha mix of that ol' skool beat. Sounds great, especially that hook. For some reason, listening to this right now makes me wanna play 007 for Nintendo 64 (on my computer), but I'm stickin' to Tetris & Dr. Mario (for Super Nintendo) (on my computer). Too bad this joint was so short; 1:47. My Rating: 3.8
06. "King of SDT"
Good title. Lemme find out what this sound like. >>> Very anthemetic on tha hook. Soundin' real good! "I ain't tryna burn a bridge, but tha city iz mine." I like that line. I really like this joint. My Rating: 4.4
07. "Errr-day (Remix)" Feat. J-Nicks
I remember this joint from a while back. Tha flow iz CRAZY!! J-Nicks starts tha joint off CRAZY wit 2 verses, and then Natureboy Rowe takes ova on tha 3rd verse! Tha hook iz crazy, as well as tha beat (produced by Young Juve - 1st time I heard him). CLASSIC shit right here!!! My Rating: 4.9
08. "Got 'Em Hatin' (Remix)" Feat. Plies
This was another banger too. This iz Plies on tha "harder" tip (unlike tha "Shawty"'s and tha "Hypnotized"s), which iz good. In tha beginning of November 2006, I got tha original "Got 'Em Hatin'", and that was tha 1st time I heard Plies. Let's see what Natureboy did to this. >>> Just what I expected (of course). Good job on Natureboy Rowe bein' featured on this remix! My Rating: 3.9
09. "Car Wash"
>>> Lol @ tha "Magic City" beat. Nice lil' selection there. Hook sounds good. Love that line "roarin' like tha Lion King." Real good first verse! Lol @ "my nigga came thru and spilled some chips." I really like that line 'cause it's somethin' different. Very good for a beat I already heard before! My Rating: 4.4
10. "Have A Party" Feat. Rashad
This ain't over tha Mobb Deep/50 Cent joint iz it? >>> I'm glad it ain't over tha Mobb Deep/50 Cent beat! Rashad sounds pretty good singin' on this. Nice rhymes Natureboy! He sounded great on this joint! My Rating: 3.9
11. "Still Me (Remix)" Feat. The Game
Remember it on Natureboy's Myspace page. Let's hear it again. >>> I don't think I heard Game's 2nd verse on that remix from tha page, so this could be slightly better than that remix I heard. I still kinda hate that hook tho, but at least Natureboy saves tha song from me disliking it badly. My Rating: 3.0
12. "Act A Fool (Remix)" Feat. Lil' Jon & Three 6 Mafia
This must be old, but I never even heard it yet, lol. I know tha original (was in heavy rotation on Music Choice Rap back in late '06). Let's see what was done to it. >>> Yeah Natureboy just makes "unsure" songs turn into better songs. All it takes iz some bars, and there ya have it: a HOT remix! I like tha "break nuggets" part, but yeah for some reason I was never big about this song at first. No video was made also. My Rating: 3.3
13. "Gone Happen"
Let's see... >>> This shit iz hot. Real nice beat and real nice rappin'. Gonna have to give it a higher rating than those previous songs. Just realized how hot this line was "and I'm hot dawg so you niggas betta catch up" That's REAL good! My Rating: 4.2
½time: It's currently 1:09 PM. I got 51 minutes 'til my next class, so I gotta hurry up here…
14. "This In You (Get Loose)"
Looks like a club banger... High AL! >>> Wow this song iz a very good produced song IMO! Tha hook reminds me of tha T.I. & Nelly song "Get Loose" from tha "Urban Legend" CD. Nice rhymes on this female joint. It's slightly better than "Go Live" (which I heard on Natureboy's Myspace page a while ago). My Rating: 4.4
15. "Back 2 The Hood"
>>> Oh nice on tha "I Luv It" beat! Nice hook. Pretty good on Natureboy's version. Tha hook keeps growin' on me everytime I hear it! Perfect quote from this: "you don't like Southern Rap, nigga suck my dick!" My Rating: 4.1
16. "How To Act (What It Do)"
Okay how iz this joint gon act? Natureboy better have done tha damn thang on this or else I'll be a lil' disappointed 'cause tha previous jointz have been consistant on this mixtape! >>> Oh WOW real nice flowwwww boyyyy!! "I stay fly, I think I see Mars" LOVE that line!! Natureboy definitely knows "how to act" on this joint! Good on tha "Get Buck" beat. Another line I like: "got a Khaki color whip, lookin' like sum Dickie pants" Lol that came outta nowhere, but tight. My Rating: 4.6
17. "I Sag" Feat. Yung Mike
Collabo time! Let's see what goes on wit this! >>> I recognize that beat. It's from J.R. Get Money's "Cook In The Kitchen". That song was about drugs, and wow this joint iz about being cool/saggin'. Good switch up! That's another thing I really like about Natureboy Rowe when I hear some songs by him: if it's on a jacked beat, he can make tha song sound so different (in a good way) to where you can't even tell if it's a jacked beat! "Belt buckle made of chrome" yeah it's tha perfect "so fresh" song right here!! My Rating: 4.7
18. "Talk That Talk"
And what's this…? >>> Beat sounds really old (I can't think of what it iz - I don't think it's Young Capone "What It Iz"). I like that "I gots flow like tha...uh..." line. Now this beat iz drivin' me nuts (can't think of what it was originally). Good flowin' on tha track again! Another great line "look I'm ROWE...!!" Aight I'm lookin' thru my iTunes library to see what that beat was *looks*. I just re-heard tha beginning of this, and just remembered that it was Young Capone "Lights, Camera, Action" (from January 2006, which I got 3 months before Dirty South Radio). Either way, My Rating: 4.0
19. "Set Traps" Feat. Hezeleo
I never heard. >>> Yeah this looks new. It looks too short, but this has a hot hook. Yeah Natureboy does "sag". No. 17 says it all, lol! My Rating: 4.0
20. "So A1"
I sometimes forget what "so A1" iz. My 63 year old rappin' grandma told me, but I forgot. >>> Nice lil' hook right here! Nice 1st verse right there. I like tha "like Slim & Baby, I got cash money" line. This iz nice and smooth right here. BTW, Natureboy's rhymes are so FUCKIN' great!! My Current Rating: 4.0
21. "Diddy Rock (Rowe Outro)"
Diddy? >>> Lol @ tha Diddy... Nice fast beat and fast flow. I like tha "side 2 side" line; that was nice. Outro iz soundin' pretty good. My Rating: 3.9
22. "Standing Ovation"
This looks like another new joint. Lemme peep it out. High AL! >>> Really likin' tha intro! This sounds REAL good! Natureboy Rowe DOIN' IT BIG for 2008! That's a REAL good hook wit that REAL good beat. Gotta feel tha 1st verse. Love tha hook everytime I hear it! My Rating: 4.7
23. "Deep Cover Flow"
Yes keep these jointz comin'! >>> Oh a short flow. I love that lil' thing "DJ Bigg Rich" that comes out here and there. This beat was REAL hot and had a REAL hot Game diss "200 Bars" from uh… 2004 I think. Yeah that was really tha shit. "'Cause I got an Xbox don't mean you can play wit me." Nice. Real short flow, but good. Lol @ that ending. Really liked it! My Rating: 3.7
24. "DJ Bigg Rich Outro"
Aren't there 2 jointz after this? What's gonna happen after this? It just gets me EVEN MORE ANTICIPATED! >>> Props on that contact info! Bigg Rich, keep doin' yo thang mayne. My Rating: N/A
25. "Bonus Track 1"
Lookin' forward to this bonus joint! High AL!! >>> Sounds like a Wu-Tang beat. Lol @ that hook. OMG err-body get afraid of Natureboy Rowe! He'll knock you over if you fuck him over! Who's tha featured rapper on tha 2nd verse? Iz he a part of Natureboy's click? Great outro. Nobody will fuck wit Natureboy tha wrong way, especially when people hear this! My Rating: 3.9
26. "Bonus Track 2"
Time to end this. But how? >>> Tha "konvict" intro thing scared me almost. I didn't know what to expect. It's tha "9mm" beat. Hook sounds pretty good (it sounds like somethin' else - oh that "ass" song by T.I. & Wyclef Jean "You Know What It Is"). There was a nice sample during tha hook too. Sounded good. My Rating: 3.8
Overall: End Time: 1:53 PM. I'm typing this while I listen to "Bonus Track 2" due to I'm limited on time. Anyway, real nice. Definitely some good shit on here. Lots of NICE/HIGH ratings! Time for me to go to my Sports in American Society class. I'll send/upload this review when I get home.
