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!

reviewed on 5.22.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. "Intro"
Another intro… Let's see how this one gon start this off… >>> And yes, I'm lookin' forward. Ace sounds better than that Dutty Laundry DJ IMO so far. My Rating: N/A
02. "They Call Me"
…OJ Da Juiceman, lol. Lemme hear this and see how good it iz to start tha mixtape! >>> A good start. Sounds like it goes wit tha intros to tha other mixtape. Oh nice hook, and I like that "screwed" sound (like in "Ballin', Stay Fly" from tha last mixtape). Good intro song. I like that your "dope iz colorful." That's watz good. Oh I see you said "ballin', stay fly, that's tha motto that I live by." That's true, and I think you said that in that song as well. Props on bringin' that up. My Rating: 4.1
03. "A Brick N' A Half" Feat. Cold Blooded
Wow this iz so much better ID'd than tha other mixtape. Everything was capitalized and shit. Anyway, definitely have a High AL (anticipation level) for this since it has to do wit that white gurl, and it has a featured artist (who looks like they can have tha track bleedin' by tha time it ends)!! >>> Very good intro!! Love tha beginning of tha hook already ("a brick n' a half dawg…"). Definitely gonna love this!! Actually, Cold Blooded was good, but not as good as you Juice. At 2:53, it sounds like it's fusing wit tha next joint. If so, why so early? There's like another 53 seconds left in tha song… Yeah that mixin' at tha end ruined it… I'm gonna deduct my rating by 0.1 'cause of that. Overall, it's a real good jam. Love it on a first listen dawg. My Rating: 4.6 (would've been 4.7 if there was no fusion at tha end)
04. "I'm Gettin' Money"
I think I heard this one before… >>> Yeah. It's a nice jam tho. Tha beat iz nice/above okay. "I ain't Kobe Bryant but I'm playin' wit that white gurl" Nice line! Nice jam too. "Arena on my pinky 'cause I'm doin' big numbers," "movin' in tha grand pre, same color as thunda" and tha "in tha trap spot, we smokin' nothin' but fruity mango" lines were REAL nice! I think that's tha most lines I fit in one sentence at one time (3). Why does it sounds like another fusion at tha end? I hope that stops eventually durin' this. My Rating: 4.3 (another 0.1 deduction)
05. "5 N' Da Morning" Feat. Buck J
Am lookin' forward to this joint (it's No. "5" no less)! >>> I like that "and I'm cookin' chicken 5:00 n' da mornin'" line. Nice start. Sounds like a nice jam. I also like tha "white gurl" line and tha "Juice countin' hunnids" line. Damn there's too much to quote here 'cause everytime I type somethin' to feature in this review, you say some more hot shit. That's really watz good. Iz chicken another slang term for weed or marijuana? What iz it? Yeah this iz definitely almost as good as "A Brick N' A Half". Good shit right here. Love what you be spittin' dawg. Good no mixin' at tha end! My Rating: 4.4
06. "Frisbees" Feat. Gucci Mane
It looks familiar, but can't judge it 'til I hear it… >>> Nope it's not. It's over that "That's The Move" Pastor Troy beat. I actually give this a for bein' over this beat! Quick shout out to my boy Juice from college. I miss hangin' out wit him. I gotta wait 'til September 2008 to hang out wit him again. Hopefully I'll have a car to drive by tha time tha time comes 'cause I would have to drive to see him and a few of my boyz at my college (that I just graduated from). Anyway, real nice verses you did, and Gucci Mane made it a nice hook! My Rating: 4.3
07. "Vet Pass By" Feat. Gucci Mane
Wonder what this iz about… Curious. >>> Only 1:14 (tha birthday of this girl that I like at my college). Sounds nice. I think DJ Ace forgot to source Gucci Mane in it 'cause that's him on tha hook. Too short, but it was nice. My Rating: 3.9
08. "Whippin' Babies"
Definitely a HIGH AL 'cause I love that title! LOL! >>> Nice beat in tha beginning. Oh so it sounds like it's a drug type of song again! Gotta love it! You said "one man army" so I say shouts out to my boy Dee-1 from New Orleans. That's a video he's currently pushin' right now. I'm actually feelin' tha beat a lil' better durin' tha 2nd verse. It sounded real good durin' tha beginning of tha 2nd verse. Lots of good shit bein' said durin' tha 2nd verse. Tha only thing I was able to catch while typin' was tha "mashed potatoes" line. My Rating: 4.4
09. "Dopeman"
…And more "dope" songs about "dope"! High AL again!! >>> Nice 4:02 on tha length! A real nice beat! Great sequel to tha previous joint! Gotta luv these jointz!! Really love tha electronic sounds during tha beat!! INCREDIBLE!! Great 1st verse! "I got dope in tha pot, weed on tha scale…" That hook iz just TIGHT!! Yeah I just got a "chain same color as sunny" while I was down on Florida during April 30-May 11. I got an ol'skool chain (big and heavy) wit a NY charm on it. I got it for $85. Real nice 2nd and 3rd verse! My Rating: 4.9
10. "DJ Ace Talks"
Let's hear tha great words of DJ Ace! >>> Nice message. Maybe I'll show you this review as well as showin' Juice. My Rating: N/A
11. "Old Schools"
Time to be ridin'. Let's see how we're switchin' subjects here… >>> Okay feelin' tha beat intro. Reminds me a lil' of Mega Man X (for Super Nintendo) music. Nice uplifting hook. This iz definitely somethin' nice to jam to. I like tha "same color as ya tie-dye" line. My Rating: 4.0
12. "Skit"
Good you're doin' a skit. Let's see if it's useful unlike tha ones on tha "Hood Classics Extra" mixtape: >>> Neva mind that's DJ Ace. At least tha music fades out in his skits and I can understand him durin' tha skit. And to tha Long Island, NY to tha Northeast PA. My Rating: N/A
13. "Eastside Ride" Feat. Woo Da Kid & Courtney Money
Another song about "ridin'". I like how they're back-to-back (like tha drug songs were back-to-back and now these). High AL! >>> It's a short one @ 2:42. "A nigga body in tha ocean like Spongebob" iz a nice line on tha 1st ½ of tha 1st verse. I didn't know Courtney Money was a dude. Sounds like a girl's name (no offense). He sounds good on this joint tho. I think I like tha "Old Schools" song better (tha beat iz also better). This iz still pretty nice tho. Nice rhymes by Juice! My Rating: 3.9
½time: It's off to a good start. Already a 4.9 rating before tha ½time! That's watz good. What will happen wit tha next 14 jointz?
14. "Mego"
>>> That dude in tha background (that's sayin' "holmes") sounds like my boy M-Dock (from college). Six cell phones iz quite a lot. You doin' yo thang wit tha bu$ine$$ Juice. That featured rapper (whoeva it iz 'cause it's not ID'd) sounds pretty good on this. I think he sounds better than you on this. "My work like sugar, suga; I get it wit no hands" nice line Juice. My Rating: 3.8
15. "Benz Or Chevy" Feat. Chico, Hitman & Courtney Money
Okay we got a Chico in tha Rap world. I know of a Chico that does Dance remixes (can't wait to hear his new song wit Claudia Monet called "Harder" in like 4 dayz when I get it on Promo Only Dance Radio June 2008)! Anyway, let's see this collabo! >>> Okay a real nice beat intro on this one! Tha hook sounds like somethin' I might've heard before wit tha "coulda bought a benz but I bought a chevrolle (sp?)." I'm feelin' tha whole song. It's a nice jam to ride/listen to. My Rating: 4.1
16. "DJ Ace Talks"
I always have a lot of AL for No. 16, but this time it's a skit. Let's hear what you got to say. >>> Nice message once again. My Rating: N/A
17. "Hustler Ambition" Feat. Chico
Another Chico collabo… >>> I have a feelin' I'm not gonna be lookin' forward to this… Actually, I might be lookin' forward. Tha beat intro kinda threw me off. That's not good that you dropped outta high school, but you had to get yo hustle game up. Pretty good song. Nice message. My Rating: 4.0
18. "80"
I was gonna say somethin' about tha title, but I don't really know anything of "80". >>> I like that lil' beat thing right at tha beginning where it says "Juice World mixtape." Nice slow start to this. Like all tha lines about "kush" and all tha things about drugs! My Rating: 3.8
19. "Money Walk" Feat. Courtney Money & Woo Da Kid
Reminds me a lil' of what Rocko says in "Umma Do Me"… "look, dis how money walk." We'll see what this one sounds like! >>> Good intro. Really like DJ Ace talkin' in tha beginning. Oh no a dance song… *gets scared* Sorry, I can't take this serious, especially that hook. I'd rather tha hook be screwed wit that Rocko sample in it. I might think it's better than most Rap songs wit a dance. What's wit all those "AYE"s in tha hook? Lol… Nowhere near as good as tha other songs on here and on tha "Hood Classics Extra" mixtape. My Rating: 3.3
20. "DJ Ace Talks"
Good a lil' breather for a sec while I hear DJ Ace talk! >>> Another great message. I can't wait to hit you up on Myspace dawg. My Rating: N/A
21. "Swag"
Very High AL on this 'cause I love "swag" songs as well! >>> Not sure about that piano in tha beat… I'd rather somethin' like in "Dopeman". Good, you "played Blackjack twice." That's SO MUCH better than those gay-ass-overrated slots. "Now swag wit me"? That wasn't what I was expectin' for this song. I think I over anticipated this. This doesn't sound that good. Might be a lil' worse than No. 19… This iz not a "swag" song IMO. Sounds more like a "swing" song (meanin' "now swing wit me"). Good it ended without me payin' attention. My Rating: 2.8
22. "Birdz N' Da Drought" Feat. One Dolla Bojo JG
Oh wow hopefully a great transition from those poor club songs to tha drug songs! BTW, iz that one person in tha feature? High AL!! >>> It sounds like a nice underground song I'd hear randomly online. Real nice drug song! Love that hook! My Rating: 4.3
Intermission: It's 7:24 PM, and I hate to do this right now, in tha middle of a review, but I gotta eat dinner. >>> Okay it's 7:44 PM (20 minutes later), and I'm now continuing this review!
23. "George Bush" Feat. Trap & Chico
What could this be about vs. tha Lil' Wayne one? >>> Oh wait this might be a drug song… Tha hook defines it! Sorry I forgot for a sec that "George Bush" iz another slang term. Now I am lookin' forward even more! Yeah that's a nice hook. Yeah Juice, you do "kill 'em wit tha swag." Oh yeah, Trap iz a nice/simple Rap name for that dude. Gotta luv anything reppin' for tha trap. My Rating: 4.1
24. "Oh Fo Sho"
I'm gonna fix that title a lil'… it says "Oh Fo Show". Tha "show" looks odd. I'm fixin' it to "Oh Fo Sho" (without tha "w"). Let's see what's goin' on wit this joint. >>> Sounds good in tha intro. Yeah this iz nice, especially tha hook fa'sho! I really like tha "cookin' up tha waffle" line. There's a lot goin' on wit tha verses, especially tha 3rd verse. Feelin' this joint. My Rating: 4.1
25. "Get Yo Ride" Feat. Mr. Trixx
Got a High AL for this 'cause it's another "ride" type of song! >>> Beat iz nice. Feelin' this. First verse sounds good. Juice knows his good songs. Which one iz Mr. Trixx? Verse 1 or Verse 2? Oh now I hear…he's on tha 2nd verse. Who's on tha 1st verse then? Iz there one rapper not sourced on this mixtape ('cause this has happened a few times on here it seems like)? I gots lots of respect for that beat! My Rating: 4.3
26. "So Many"
So this iz tha last joint on here ('cause No. 27 iz tha outro). Good thing there was only one song I knew already on here. Anyway, let's see what we got last… >>> Oh wow I'm lookin' forward to this!! Love tha beat intro and tha "so many niggaz…" part in tha beginning! Nice hook (as it sounds like tha beginning of this song). Looks like I'm puttin' this mixtape on my iPod (just like I did wit tha "Hood Classics Extra" mixtape). My Rating: 4.0
27. "Outro"
And tha ending… >>> Juice, you're tha shit! My Rating: N/A
Overall: End Time: 8:06 PM. Wow that was another great mixtape from OJ Da Juiceman!! Even tho I liked tha "Hood Classics Extra" one better, this iz still right on that level!
