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 9.28.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. "Intro"
How we gon start this mixtape off? >>> Good it's 2:29 on tha length so there'll prolly be rappin'! Oh so this iz a "street album." Yeah, he definitely sounds RAW wit how he's spittin' this shit! He might have tha RAWEST attitude outta Joey Jihad and Meek Mill. Yeah, that was DEFINITELY raw and I can't wait to hear a WHOLE ENTIRE JOINT!! Good thing for Juice and B-Mack 'cause they discover these RAW-ASS rappers from Philly and when I get to hear them, tha reviewz I do are SKY-HIGH tight!!! My Rating: 4.2
02. "What U Want Me To Do?"
Well, I want you to SPIT some RAW-ASS shit, ya dig!! Let's see what you got wit a high anticipation!! >>> Tha very beginning of tha intro was very dark so I definitely felt that. Tha beat iz pretty nice; on tha Philly side. Great 1st verse. No offense but I didn't think that it needed to be "brought back" 'cause I'd rather hear more different verses from you. Yeah great hook and good 2nd verse too (which should've been a 3rd verse). My Rating: 4.3
03. Skit
Let's hear it. >>> Yes it's on tha "smokin' weed / high" tip!! I definitely enjoy any skit that sounds high like that. Good shit and interesting skit. My Rating: N/A
04. "Do What U Got To Do" Feat. Meek Mill
HUGE ANTICIPATION for Meek Mill on tha feature!!!!! >>> Too bad it's very short. Shit, 2:21 on tha length. Will expect a lot! You're on tha 1st verse… Nice and fast and sounds good so far. Great verse by you! Usually, I don't feel certain females singin' on tha hooks on CDs that go hard but tha female on tha hook sounds good. Meek Mill iz on tha 2nd verse…! Of course, he's unstoppable wit his rhymes!! Crazy shit! FREE MEEK MILL!!!!!!!!!! That sux REAL BAD that he's locked up!! Oh how weird, at tha end, tha announcing of who to "free" was said right after I brought up Meek bein' locked up. LOL. My Rating: 4.5
05. Bucks Speaks
Anotha skit! >>> Great message and I'm lookin' forward to listenin' to tha next joint on here! My Rating: N/A
06. "I'm Feelin' Stressed Out"
Have anticipation, especially since it's on tha "stressed out" tip. There must be some "smokin' kush" lyrics in this so that's an anticipation boost for me too! >>> A short one (2:50 on tha length) but prolly good again! I somewhat expected better but I'm feelin' this. Tha hook iz what sticks out for me on this. Good rhymes either way. My Rating: 4.0
07. "Street Mentality"
This joint better be a lot better and have a HUGE rating from me!! >>> Tight bass on this! This iz tha VERY FIRST TIME I commented on bass on any of my reviewz, lol. Yes, this iz a lot better! Beat iz tight, great 1st verse and that hook iz just REAL NICE! Yeah, great 2nd verse too! This iz tha shit right here! Lucky No. 7 on this CD! REALLY feelin' tha hook! My Rating: 4.6
½time: Wow, only 24 minutes in and I'm ½ way through. Pretty good so far but I thought Joey Jihad's had tha better 1st ½, Meek Mill had an okay 1st ½ but a VERY HUGE 2nd ½ so anything can happen! Hope tha next 8 jointz are real tight!
08. Hec Speaks
Good thing you have all these people speakin' on your CD! >>> Short but good. I HOPE tha next joint iz a "street banger." It HAS to be!! My Rating: N/A
09. "What U Expect From Me?"
It's tha title track. I'm anticipated since I "expect" A LOT "from you"! >>> Good back to tha longer songs (4:08 on tha length)! Good beginning about tha "pots" and tha "stoves." Again it's bein' "runned back." I really think there should've been anotha verse. Tha 1st verse was great though. Tight hook and 2nd verse iz soundin' real good so far! That was a "street banger" right there! My Rating: 4.4
10. "Dopeman" Feat. Tray Money
An artist I'm not familiar wit iz featured so I have anticipation for that. LOTS MORE anticipation 'cause of tha title!! >>> Good 4 minutes flat on tha length! I LOVE "dopeman" songs! What a TIGHT-ASS HOOK!!! Verses are REAL GREAT and I'm glad you're "posted up" and shit! FINALLY a 3rd verse and it's REAL, REAL TIGHT!!! I'm glad you "sell dope like it's legal." My Rating: 4.7
11. "Da Feeling Of Money" Feat. Kre Forch
Anotha artist I'm not familiar wit iz featured so I have more anticipation for that! ANOTHA title I'm really feelin' so LOTS MORE anticipation for that!!! >>> It's off to a good start so far. Nice beat and tha 1st verse iz nice. 2nd verse was aight to me. Not as good as tha 1st verse. Good hook too. My Rating: 4.1
12. Real Talk
LOL! Tha previous review I did (for Baton Rouge rapper Dutty Devioso) had a song "Real Talk" as tha No. 12 song and now there's one here (a review later) at No. 12, lol! But anyway, iz this a skit or a song? >>> It iz a SKIT!! That dude sounded pretty cool wit what he was sayin'. Anotha good skit but that 1st one was tha shit. My Rating: N/A
13. "Hangin' On…."
Let's hear this one… >>> Sounds like a Country style startin' off… I actually am likin' tha style. Call it "Country-Hop", lol. Oh there's anotha song in this? Good fusion 'cause tha 2nd beat sounds BETTER!! Great verse on tha 2nd beat and better hook! My Rating: 3.9
EDIT: Because tha No. 14 joint was fused wit tha No. 13 joint, I wasn't gonna average tha 2 ratings together. I did them separately.
14. "Man On The Block" Feat. S.Ruger & Dodi
So this was tha name of what was fused in No. 13. It's a tight title and now we'll see if I can get tha 4.3 rating feelin' again (which was what I was gonna originally rate it when I heard it). >>> Tight shit! That hook iz REAL, REAL, REAL TIGHT!!!!! On REAL TIGHT Philly shit! I'm feelin' that "get your pillows and your blankets if you sleepin' on D" line a whole lot! Good shit! Now it's fusing tha last joint onto this. I rather of heard tha "Man On The Block" joint more. Aight song so far but this'll be tha official rating for "Man On The Block". FUCKIN' LOVED IT!! My Rating: 4.6
15. "Outro"
Continuing on… >>> Ooh 6 minutes, 26 seconds! It was aight for an outro. Nothin' really caught on for me. Uh… what happened? Iz there anything left? From 2:13 – 2:50, there was nothin'. LOL it came back!! Now that's watz good!! MUCH BETTER soundin' wit tha "shells" part in tha beginning! Now this iz an outro!! Tight hook! LOL @ "I shit while I eat." That's 'cause you be gettin' SO MUCH cake; no wonder! Great outro. Now, because there was 2 different jointz, I'm gonna do a "fusion rating" (where I combine 2 different songs's ratings). My Ratings: "Outro (Song 1)": 3.2 | "Outro (Song 2)": 4.6 | My Official Rating Combined: 3.9
Overall: End Time: 12:07 PM. Well, even though I liked Joey Jihad's mixtape "Tha Big Dog Yard" and Meek Mill's mixtape "Flamers" a lot better, yours STILL had VERY NICE ratings from me! I know this tape iz a lil' whiles old now so hopefully you're makin' some new shit now. Keep doin' yo thang and I'm glad I enjoyed your music!
