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. "DJ Scrap Intro"
And how should we start this off…? >>> I really, REALLY love tha intro wit all those HOT jointz fused in!! My Rating: N/A
02. "One-i Speaks"
Let's see what my dawg gots ta say right chea! >>> Good shit my boy. I'm definitely givin' you a call when I'm finished wit this review! Matter a'fact, I'm gonna give you a call right now and tellin' you I'm doin' this review (BTW, I got your number from tha contact info attached to this mixtape)! My Rating: N/A
Intermission: *Goes and calls One-i…* >>> Aight good 1st conversation at 1:35. You sound like a real cool dude brah. I'm definitely stayin' in touch wit you.
03. "Money In The Bank (Remix)" Feat. Cooley
Okay we got a remix here at least (instead of tha title just sayin' "Money In The Bank"). This should be interesting over tha "Money In The Bank" beat. I wonder how good this'll be for me… >>> Good start. Cooley nice, and 2nd verse nice too. I like tha Young Buck sample from "Money In The Bank" that was durin' tha hook. I like tha "Kanye West" line. My Rating: 3.9
04. "Shake Back" Feat. Sire Slim
Looks like it gon be a good one to me. I got a high AL (anticipation level) for it! Here we go! >>> It went right into it. Sounds tight, especially that hook wit all those "boy" parts at tha end of each line. A lil' short, but it's all good. I don't have to say much. I just really like it! My Rating: 4.4
05. "Flex Speaks"
Let's hear his 12 short seconds… >>> Good check-in. My Rating: N/A
06. "Take A Ezzy"
Questionable one here… Iz tha topic gon be about "takin' it easy"? Lemme find out! >>> I was right about that. I like that "locamotive" line in tha 1st verse! Sounds good so far. That sample in tha hook sounds kinda quiet. I don't mind it tho. I enjoyed everyone on this joint. Good shit. My Rating: 4.1
07. "One-i Speaks"
Yeah you're speakin' again! DEFINITELY lookin' forward to more of what you got to say my dawg! >>> Another good interlude by you! I hope you have a few more! Plus, I like how tha "Take A Ezzy" song sample iz playin' towards tha end. My Rating: N/A
08. "Up On The North"
Good title = High AL for me! >>> Good beat and good 1st verse so far!! As for tha dude on tha 2nd verse, yeah "put on your 'bauds." Definitely love when rappers talk about girbauds! They're my favorite pants (and sometimes shorts). Another good joint right here! My Rating: 4.3
09. "Diamond Speaks"
Let's hear da bidne$$. >>> I thought this Diamond was gonna be a girl 'cause that's what most "Diamond" names I've heard are. It's all good tho. This iz tha 1st dude named "Diamond" I've heard. Yeah good promotion message from Diamond. My Rating: N/A
10. "Go Dumb"
This has to be a good song since its title has a Louisiana theme in it (most of ya'll like to "go dumb" and get retarded)! >>> Good beat and great flowin' by tha 1st dude on this! 2nd dude (Jayroc) on tha 1st verse sounds good too! Great start! Good hook too. I think that's you dawg on tha 2nd verse (One-i). It iz. Good shit I really felt that verse! I'm glad you had tha whole verse and not ½. Oh good I hear "Push It" by Rick Ross at tha end! Looks good for tha No. 11 song since I really liked that song and wouldn't mind it be freestyled over (or re-done)! My Rating: 4.3
11. "Push It"
BTW One-i, tha more I hear you on this, tha more I'm in tha mood for this mixtape! You're fuckin' great! >>> Jayroc did his thang! Yeah One-i, "you're that sick!" I agree wit you on that dawg. You did yo fuckin' thang on this shit! Ya'll kept this shit jammin' all tha way! My Rating: 4.0
12. "Grew Up A Screw Up"
Two "jacked" ones in a row. I bet'cha "Push It" was better, but let's see this… >>> Lol @ tha clean instrumental… One-i, of course, you fuckin' did yo thang on tha 1st verse! Yeah tha "Push It" was better, but I give this credit too. My Rating: 3.8
½time: Real good shit right here! Always feel good enough to put it on my iPod! Gotta hear tha 2nd ½ to see if it's official! One-i you fuckin' tight!!
13. "It's Going Down"
A high AL on this… Good length too at 4:10! >>> I like how these jointz just start right away wit no intro. Did it just start at 0:56? *Rewinds it back* Not sure. It sounds more like it's fused wit tha last joint. Pretty good sample for that "it's goin' down tonight" part. 1st verse (I think if you consider it tha 1st after 0:56) sounded nice wit that H-Town feel. Good on tha 2nd verse for bumpin' Max Minelli!! Good shit right here! My Rating: 4.2
14. "Jayroc Speaks"
Let's hear what he's got to say… >>> Good message from Jayroc. My Rating: N/A
15. "The Payback"
Lemme hear this title track, explainin' why tha mixtape iz called this! >>> Like tha screwed sample and nice beat! Great 1st verse by Jayroc! This iz a jam right here! Felt it all tha way through! My Rating: 4.3
16. "Off Top"
Over tha "Top Back" beat ('cause I heard it play throughout tha end of "The Payback"). Let's see in 2:21 of length… >>> Jammin', but tha beat bores me. Should've been somethin' different… I like tha acapella part at tha end and then where tha beat changes. My Rating: 3.6
17. "Fresh Prince (Blakk Remix)"
Let's hear this remix… >>> Great start wit tha "'bauds on." This sounds hot wit all tha wayz to stay fresh in tha hook! That 2nd verse was tha shit! This my favorite joint on this tape so far! Great shit I love it! My Rating: 4.5
18. "I Don't Know"
Lol @ tha title!! >>> It's okay so far… I don't mind hearin' it, but as I could say, "I don't know" about this one… My Rating: 3.5
19. "Thug Speaks"
Let's hear this Thug dude… >>> Good check-in. Too bad tha last 20 seconds were not of him… My Rating: N/A
20. "Bonafied"
Hope this iz good… I got a high AL for it! >>> I like that "Go DJ" sample! Tha beat iz pretty tight here! I LOVE THAT HOOK!!! Weezy F Baby!!!!! Nice jam right here!! Rhymes are good. EDIT: Gonna make my rating higher so now this iz my favorite on here! My Rating: 4.6
21. "Ride For The Team"
Prince Blakk on tha beat so this should be good! Another high AL for me! >>> Too short of length wit 2:22… At 1:50 "like Monopoly pieces, I'm on top of tha game;" that was a nice line on tha 2nd verse. I didn't say much about this joint, but it's nice. My Rating: 4.0
22. "Info On Tracks"
Good interlude title. Lemme hear! >>> One-i my dawg!! Yeah homeboy. I like when you say "homeboy" by tha way. My Rating: N/A
23. "My City"
High AL 'cause it sounds like an anthem!! >>> Sounds like a jacked beat… Maybe it ain't. It does sound familiar, but it's all good. Nice start. Real nice on tha rewindin' it back! I heard better anthems… This ain't really too anthemetic in terms of Louisiana. It's still good tho. My Rating: 4.1
24. "Dick Rider"
LMAO @ tha title!!! High AL on this! >>> Tha hook iz pretty good… Beat iz decent… Kinda short, but pretty good. My Rating: 3.8
25. "Outro"
Aight hope you're on tha outro homeboy! >>> Just by "homeboy", I can tell it's you dawg. I'm showin' luv right here! My Rating: N/A
Overall: End Time: 12:37 AM. Good shit. Definitely jammin' right here, even tho I think I liked tha 2007 mixtape "Witness The Underground 2: All Points Bulletin" mixtape better. I hope you like this review. This felt kinda short, but I didn't slack on this.
