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
Let's see how we gon kick it off! This iz tha 1st time I'm hearin' you!! >>> Real great intro!! You sound like a real cool, gutta, gangsta dude so you know I'm really lookin' forward to this! When you said that "other niggaz wack; they got 3 songs, they shit iz wack," I feel that you're gonna prove them wrong and do yo thang. I have a feelin' that this mixtape gon be filled wit LOTS of bangerz!! DEFINITELY give me some more Louisiana heat, especially from tha 9th ward 9th Ward! My Rating: N/A
02. "I'm 'Bout It"
Yes you are! Let's see how true you can explain it in this song! A high anticipation level for hearin' tha 1st song I've eva heard from you right now! >>> So far tha intro iz VERY GOOD wit a VERY GOOD underground feel to it!! I do agree wit you so far: you're "wicked like a witch." Great start to tha 2nd verse as you got "girbauds" on. They're one of my favorite clothes to wear. Can I just say that you RIPPED this song wit REAL lyrics, TIGHT lyrics and a REAL TIGHT hook!! Tha beat was OFF THA CHAIN too!! What a GREAT START to this HOT mixtape!!! My Rating: 4.9
03. "Boy Gone"
Gonna keep tha momentum goin'!! >>> Pretty good start so far. Startin' to feel that beat better. This iz easily not a disappointment; hot shit so far! It took a while to get to that hook but it's hot! Yes another real nice joint! You know I'm gon fall in love wit this mixtape easily!! You need to holla at my dawg Jimmy The DJ; he'll put you on his mixtape easily 'cause you got hot shit (he's reppin' New Orleans). Tight shit once again! My Rating: 4.3
04. Bitch Nigga Flippin' Interlude
If that's tha title to tha next joint, then you know I have HUGE anticipation for it!! Dyin' to hear tha interlude!! >>> Yes it's 1 minute, 23 seconds!!! No wonder why I was dyin' to hear tha interlude! You sound tight no matter what you say! I'm really feelin' all tha "ya heard me/ya dig" parts and all tha cussin'. Sounds great and I like that you sound a lil' high or w/e when you're talkin'. That's watz good. If people think you're soft, then they thinkin' tha wrong shit 'cause you bringin' that REAL SHIT, ya dig!! Great interlude and now to tha song!! My Rating: N/A
05. "Talk That Shit"
Okay so this wasn't called "Bitch Nigga Flippin'" (which iz what I thought due to tha interlude). Really lookin' forward to this and all yo shit, ya dig!! >>> I like tha other 2 songs I heard on here so far better but this iz tight too. Tha hooks seem to really kick in hard when they come on. Really feelin' 'em and I'm glad these beats are just real tight!! I like that "my trigger got tha chicken pox and it's itchy" line a lot! Wow tha "talk that shit now ROLL WIT IT" part in tha hook iz CRAZY!!! My Rating: 4.2
06. "Bolo"
Not sure what it means but it rhymes wit "polo" so I have anticipation. >>> Sounds better wit tha beat!! Wow it's a 90's Cash Money style!! Love it!! I like when you say tha title in tha hook! Wow you said it like 12x at tha end of it! Tha end was great wit that "9th ward" chanting part. Great shit!! I hear tha "Still Fly" beat towards tha end. I hope this joint was an original beat 'cause if it wasn't, then that's a lil' disappointing but I loved it on a 1st listen so congrats! My Rating: 4.5
07. "Pockets Low"
I didn't expect a jacked beat but I predict this'll be hot!! >>> Once again, as soon as tha hook came in, thingz got REAL TIGHT!!! Great rhymes on this too!! Can't mind tha "Still Fly" beat 'cause this has REAL NICE quality to it!! My Rating: 4.4
08. Real Music Interlude
Ooh another interlude!! DEFINITELY wantin' to hear what you got to say dawg!! >>> I can agree wit most of tha shit you said! Matter a'fact, I think you sound a lil' like B.G. wit tha way your voice sounds (high and shit). And yeah, we both listen to "shit niggaz neva heard of" (like you said). For me, I always stick to my roots; Party 105.3. I stick to listenin' to Dance/Electronica/Trance music, lots of underground Rap music (tha mainstream shit, like you said, iz gettin' real wack these dayz) and upbeat Pop music. I just LOVE supportin' tha Rap music scene, mainly in Louisiana so you know I got yo back. My Rating: N/A
09. "Pay Per View"
And you were talkin' about this when you were talkin' in tha interlude. Lemme hear what you got to say about it! >>> Oh no I hope this doesn't ruin thingz… Good thing it's only 2:25! Tha "Coffee Shop" beat kinda dumbed thingz down for me but at least it was even shorter as Nitti jumped in. My Rating: 3.4
10. "My Nigga" Feat. Nitti
Iz "this a Nitti beat"? >>> It iz! Barely heard Nitti rap but he was tight. Another "ear-catchin'" hook again! And now I hear you on tha hook + tha 2nd verse! Louisiana flava to tha fullest right here!! A lil' short but good. My Rating: 4.0
11. "My Chopper"
Okay 1st of 2 or 3 Music Choice Rap songs by you. Let's see what else they got… *checks* "Add Me Up" on April 9, 2008 @ 12:21 AM, "Super Model" July 8, 2008 @ 1:11 AM and this song, "My Chopper". Because of tha title, and Joe Hound, Dre & C-Ride havin' tha HOT song from last year wit tha same title, I have a huge amount of anticipation for this joint right here, ya heard me!! >>> Okay good so far. I guess this a single huh? When tha hook came in (tight once again), it sounded like a mainstream feel but not in a stupid way. Due to tha title, it came through in a gutta/mainstream way, which iz what tha mainstream world iz missin' these dayz. That's why most mainstream music sucks these dayz! Tight shit, mainly that hook!! Great Music Choice Rap song!! My Rating: 4.2
½time: Aight it's about that time! I do need a break! Because I threw up today (haven't done it since December 15, 2006), I've been drinkin' Ginger Ale (sp?) so I finna get a drink of that, get up and then get back into this review!! >>> Okay longer than I expected. It's now 12:32 AM and I just got finished wit havin' a snack (4 Stella Dora cookies), an Ensure (chocolate drink) and some of my Ginger Ale. Now it's time to get back into this shit so I can go to sleep!!
12. "Chopper City"
Perfect sequel to tha "My Chopper" song! I have a feelin' I'll like this better. Let's see if I'm right! >>> Almost was worried that it was tha "Lollipop" beat but I'm glad it wasn't! Tha beat intro iz a lot hotter!! Yeah this iz DEFINITELY a lot hotter!! BANGIN'-ASS-BEAT!!! This was DEFINITELY fiya right there!! Tha lyrics were REAL TIGHT too (as they mainly talked about Katrina fuckin' up Louisiana and shit)!! My Rating: 4.7
13. "Like Me" Interlude
Ah yes another interlude!!!!!!!!!! I guess I'm gonna learn more about you huh? Lookin' forward (as always)!! >>> Interesting… Look, you may have yo mama's slippers on but lemme tell ya somethin': dudes from my college be actin' all hard and shit and they be wearin' pajamas. I be lookin' at them like "WTF?!" I stopped wearin' them shits at 12. How can you rock a durag, a hoodie and then fuckin' pajamas? Shit's gay in my opinion! Also, that part about you talkin' about tha 9mm. I had a 9mm pulled on me. Luckily, there was no clips and tha dude was just jokin' around. Really, ya can't joke around wit that shit 'cause this dude by where I'm stayin' at on Long Island got shot by his brother 'cause his brother was playin' around. Even though I didn't know tha kid, it was a sad event, especially since it happened on my birthday (2008). He was only 17. R.I.P. My Rating: N/A
14. "Like Me" Feat. Skrilla
Yeah now we're talkin' wit tha interlude name bein' tha title name of tha next joint finally! Let's see… expectin' hot shit!! >>> Sounds like a Nitti beat and tha beginning sounds like "Hood Nigga". This shit iz fresh and I like it. Good shit wit a hot beat and great "like me" parts after nearly after line. Great collabo! My Rating: 4.4
15. "Copycat"
Let's hear it for tha dickriders dickridin' you! >>> Hearin' tha hot beat in tha beginning makes me get upset wit that length (1:27). I like tha beginning wit tha white tee and tha girbauds! Yeah this was tight and once again, an "ear-grabbin'" hook!! Wish it was longer… I'll just pretend to play it 3x in a row and say that that's that. My Rating: 4.3
16. Myspace Interlude
And here's No. 16… what to expect… *looks at ID* An interlude. Wonder what's good wit yo Myspace… >>> Almost tha same length (4 seconds less), LMAO!! Good shit. I wouldn't give my extended info out to anyone on Myspace tho 'cause there's lots of weirdos… My Rating: N/A
17. "Supermodel"
Okay Drumma Boy doin' a production. Once again, this tha 2nd of 3rd Music Choice Rap songs from you that I'm hearin'. Not sure what to expect so no anticipation for this one… >>> It's pretty good so far. I like it. Great start wit tha "girbauds" part. This sounds more mainstream than tha "My Chopper" song. Good thing Drumma Boy doesn't use his "signature sound effects" in this (whateva that sound he usually does every 4 lines). This hook iz tight and it doesn't sound like that gay-ass "Crank Dat Yank" type of shit. My Rating: 4.3
Break: I didn't wanna do this but I'm tired as FUCK right now!! I got a block party tomorrow (wit tha whole fam on Long Island) from 2:00 - 10:00 PM. It gon be TIGHT so I'll hope to finish this review before then. For now, I finna get some sleep! It's 1:01 AM. Be easy!! >>> Aight I got a lot of sleep but I was real glad when I woke up 'cause A1 (Nu$$ie's manager) woke me up outta nowhere at 11:45 AM ('cause I called him yesterday and tha day before) so that's watz good. Shout out to Nu$$ie and A1. Now that it's 12:05 PM, 1 hour, 55 minutes before tha block party here on Long Island, I gotta get this review done (6 songs left)!
18. "Hypnotized"
Another Nitti beat for this one… Let's see what I'm gonna think. >>> This iz a pretty good slow jammer. This time, I like tha lyrics and verses better than tha hook. Good singin' on tha hook too and once again, I'm feelin' that 1st verse a lot. Unexpected Nitti beat too (he went a different route wit it). That's good. I predict this iz a real good FOLLOW UP single (not 1st single like Plies would do and go all "female single" route). If there was a cleaned up version for tha radio, then it would be poppin' on there. That's my opinion. My Rating: 3.9
19. "From The Heart"
Could this be hard… could it be about tha fallen ones…? My intentions say tha fallen ones but I think (and hope) it'll be about doin' this rap shit "from the heart" and goin' hard wit it. Lemme see… >>> Okay it's an interlude. So both guesses were wrong. It's gonna be about Katrina hittin' New Orleans. 2005 was prolly tha SHITTIEST year of this decade! So fucked up (especially wit my social life and gay-ass high school). Nothin' was poppin' except for me startin' to like more mixtapes ('til tha snap music came; good thing I ventured to Louisiana music). I wanna hear your "30 minutes of writing" for this next song! My Rating: N/A
20. "New Orleans Crying"
I feel real bad and can't picture how bad thingz were… My boy Alex McConduit got hit wit Katrina and I feel REAL BAD for him!! And now people like you I'll feel bad for as well! Here goes my listen on it! >>> Oh yeah sounds good for somethin' written in 30 minutes. I didn't think I could write somethin' that fast but I did write my "R.I.P. VL Mike Tribute" rap I did in only 2 hours. I like tha beat a lot and tha "New Orleans crying" parts. Yeah tha lyrics were real good too and this was kinda short but it works for a song like this. My Rating: 4.4
21. Shoutouts
Okay who we gon shout out? Lookin' forward to hearin'! >>> Iz it 5 minutes, 13 minutes long? That's really watz good if it iz!! … … It was that long! Mixtapes need somethin' like this at tha end (Lil' Wayne did a 10 minute one on "Da Drought 3"). All that shit was good that you said and sometimes when you say "ya heard me," it sounds like Webbie when he was on MTV2 in 2005. And I liked that echoing at tha very end of this. My Rating: N/A
22. "What The Hood Made Me"
It's tha title track to tha mixtape. I really liked tha title when I 1st saw it on tha mixtape and now I finna find out officially "what tha hood made you." Lots of anticipation once again! >>> Very short wit only 1 minute, 23 seconds. I really like that screwed sample in tha hook! Tha verse was tight and tha song overall was great! Good beat too! I wish it was longer! My Rating: 4.3
23. "I Got Money"
This should be good!! Sizzle on tha beat so we'll see what happens! >>> Another short one (I guess they're bonuses since tha "Shoutouts" were like tha official end). Beat iz tight again!! Wow that hook iz NUTS!!!!! Oh I see you officially cut it off on tha last 30 seconds that was left. You did say "save 'em for tha album." I figured it had to be somethin' like that. Tha beat sounded like a Nitti beat and tha verse was real good. Gonna rate this nice and high! My Rating: 4.6
Overall: End Time: 8.09.2008 @ 12:34 PM. Well, looks like this goin' on my iPod right away! HOT FLAMES from New Orleans!!! You DEFINITELY proved them WACK, BULLSHIT artists wrong by puttin' out this HOT mixtape!! Hopefully when I send this to you on Myspace, you (or whoever) responds back to me, appreciating tha review 'cause that'll make me happy (plus, it'll make me like you more as an artist). Keep doin' yo thang and I wish tha best in $ucce$$ wit you.
