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. "South Crack"
Wonder what it'll be… an intro or right into a track… If it's a track, you know I got anticipation… >>> Looks like a song wit that 2 minutes, 21 seconds on it… Okay you don't sound like Frayser Boy but it's all good. Tha beat sounds familiar (not sure if it's jacked) but it's good. You made this joint sound good so great opening track by you. Still lookin' forward to hearin' more! My Rating: 4.2
02. "Detonator"
Okay likin' tha title so this could be a good one. Lemme hear!! >>> Ooh new beat wit a short length (1:13). Okay yes I'm hearin' you rappin' again and I'm definitely likin' it! Tha DJ sounds good talkin' on these jointz too. You definitely sound real good rappin'. Even though this was short, I'm still givin' it a nice high rating. Tha combination of tha beat and you sounded like a joint from Philly so I'mma give it my props. Good shit once again!! My Rating: 4.6
03. "South Cak Representa"
That's what you are. Dependin' on how long it iz, I wanna hear tha representation on it right now!! >>> I hear "Dope Boy Fresh" beat… It wasn't no 1,000 degrees out today. It was about 65-70 wit an "almost tornado" hittin' Long Island, NY, a bunch of shitty rain + lightnin'. I still went to tha pits to hang out today. Anyway, I really like that hook and tha Young Jeezy soundin' "YEAH!!!!!" ad-libs. This shit sounds hot and don't sound dumb on a jacked beat. Great shit and I'm glad tha DJ iz at tha end. My Rating: 4.3
04. "This Dat Shit"
I have a feelin' it iz! I peeked at tha length and it's 3:50. It should be REAL good wit a longer length! >>> Not really feelin' that "Candy Shop" type of violin melody in tha beginning… At least it didn't happen throughout tha 1st verse. Okay beat sounds like somethin' you'd hear on Music Choice Rap by a random artist… Tha hook iz pretty good. I think this should be somethin' mainstream sources should play. But other than that, it needed more of a down south feel to it to make me like it more. Oh and that DJ at tha end, once again, had another great message. My Rating: 3.7
05. "Crank Dat Hammer Back"
Looks like it gon be tha Soulja Boy Tell'em beat… Dunn dunn dunn… I think I'm gonna like it from you though. Not sure 'cause I hate tha "CDSB" song. >>> Okay I like your "shoooooooot" parts (where it would say "yuuugh"). You actually were tight on this. I give it credit. My Rating: 3.8
06. "Grind Hard"
Everyone does that. Now lemme see how you "grind hard". >>> Ooh good a long length and NOT a jacked beat!! Great beat and great 1st verse so far. Oh and tha hook iz tight too! Good shit/jammin'!! I like all those "2 to da *insert here*" parts (especially when it rewound back) during tha 2nd verse. Yeah definitely jammin', ESPECIALLY wit that beat!! Okay I like tha calls at tha end, especially tha 3rd caller who said "dawg" twice (sounded REAL great on tha beat)!! Oh I like how tha hook came on again after all those callers! My Rating: 4.7
07. "Money Ova Here"
Will it be "ova" tha Stack$ & Lil' Wayne beat? I had controversy wit that song during March 2007 so that's why I'm a lil' iffy about it (even tho I really like tha song). Let's see what you did to it… >>> Yeah shout out to Shod B & Pistol Pete (as tha DJ gave them a shout out in tha beginning). They had a nice mixtape (minus tha jacked beats), "Smokin' At A Gas Station" (I reviewed back on February 7, 2008). Wasn't too crazy about this… and it was even 2 verses. I guess 'cause of tha controversy remindin' me of tha track. You even sounded a lil' like Stack$ on it. My Rating: 3.2
08. "Let 'Em Know"
Heard tha "Chop Chop" beat play at tha very end of tha "Money Ova Here" joint. I have a feelin' this "jacked beat" song will be better. Let's see… >>> Pretty decent so far. I like tha hook tho. Yeah tha hook iz tha standout of it. Just as good as tha Soulja Boy Tell'em version. Oh and I hear "I Luv It" beat next. I hope these jacked beats calm down a lil' 'cause they make me have no anticipation. Plus, it's somewhat rare that on a jacked beat that I give at least a 4.0 rating. My Rating: 3.8
½time: Off to a pretty good start (wit some of tha jacked beat songs bein' aight). I wonder what's next… Hopefully more original songs come up!
09. "Gunz Ova Here"
Nearly tha same title as No. 7. If I didn't hear tha "I Luv It" beat at tha end of tha "Let 'Em Know" joint, I wouldn't've guessed it was over this beat (or even a jacked beat). Let's see what you did… >>> Okay you made tha hook sound different than what other people would do… Oh yeah, surprisingly, this iz tha beat I heard tha most on everything I reviewed (must've heard this beat on like 4 other mixtapes). Not bad verse and great hook but nobody did it better than Wayne on his "Da Drought 3"! My Rating: 3.5
10. "American Gangsta"
I'm guessin' Jay-Z's beat (even tho I can't slightly remember it). You do prove to yourself that you are "gangsta" since you got tha "gunz ova here" and shit so ya can't complain. >>> Doesn't sound like a Jay-Z beat at all… Maybe that's why it's "gangsta" and not "gangster" (like he had it). Whether it iz his beat or not, I really like that sample in tha beat and shit. Tha beat was nice and I was feelin' tha whole track. Good shit. My Rating: 4.2
11. "Shotz Go"
Not sure what I heard in tha beginning (on accident). I won't say unless I'm right. Let's hear this… >>> I thought it was tha "Gossip" beat. Good sound and good subject! This iz random (which I don't officially know) but that sounds like a The Cure guitar riff or somethin' sampled in tha beat. I only say that 'cause of "Pictures Of You (Extended Dub Mix)" by The Cure that plays on Music Choice Sounds Of The Seasons (sounds like it). I like it. I'm likin' tha verses and I really like that hook a whole lot wit that beat!! Oh yeah I realized just now tha NICE 4:40 length!! My Rating: 4.5
12. "I'ma Rider"
Can't think of what this could be… If I had to pick between surprise and jacked beat, I'd pick jacked beat. >>> Ooh could be a surprise wit a LONGER length (4:49)!! I don't know about immediate surprise but I'm glad it's nice and long wit an original beat! I'm really feelin' tha 2nd verse a whole lot wit tha gunz and shit as well as talkin' about SC. Definitely feelin' that beat and feelin' tha hook a lil' more! My Rating: 4.1
13. "Cak (Freestyle)"
>>> Okay I thought I would like it a lil' better since it's over tha Funkmaster Flex/Jae Millz/Jadakiss "Bring It Back" beat. You freestyled a lil' too fast in tha beginning but it got better throughout tha whole thing. Not bad. My Rating: 3.6
14. "White Girl"
Can it be what I think it iz? >>> Yes it iz. Tha "White Girl" beat. Not only am I pissed at tha game I'm playin' right now, but this iz just unexceptable. You should've chopped it off when your verse ended 'cause I didn't need to hear tha whole USDA crew again. Your part was pretty good. My Rating: 2.0
15. "Get 'Em"
Oh no… Not another… one… >>> Good it's not! I thought it was gonna be tha JR Writer "Get 'Em" beat and I didn't feel like hearin' it! Not that I'm in tha mood to write shit, but good beat and pretty good verse. My Rating: 4.0
16. "Blood Shed"
>>> I didn't write anything so I just went into it… Okay, I see a long length. It's No. 16 so I'm gonna see what kinda faith I'll have in it! I like that Monopoly "you just a parker, nigga" line. Actually, this song didn't catch onto me that much. Too East Coast soundin' (like barely soundin' like a down south song). My Rating: 3.4
17. "Never Forget Me"
Let's see how we gon close it… >>> I don't even know tha beat and Akon iz on it? *Pukes* Maybe it's a good message to tha end of tha mixtape but not really for me. Can't go for an Akon song on a mixtape. My Rating: 2.9
Overall: End Time: 1:17 PM. Well for my overall opinion, I say that this was a pretty good mixtape. Just like wit Shod B & Pistol Pete's, you should end doin' tha "jacked beat" songs (Pistol Pete took that into consideration). Most of tha original songs were tight (some bein' REAL tight). Keep doin' yo thang, I hope you like tha review and thanx 4 payin' me for it.
