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!

#130) reviewed on 10.14.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. Spark Dawg & DJ Blurray Intro
How we gon start this thang off?? >>> 2 minutes and 15 seconds looks pretty long for 1/57th of tha mixtape… Real nice beat in tha background! Nice mixin' wit tha tracks. My Rating: N/A
02. "Slide Thru Killeen"
This should be good. Lengths don't matter here since this gon be real short! >>> Lookin' forward to this "80 minute ride!" Okay, so Killeen iz a place. I thought for a sec tha title had to do wit somethin' like "slide thru killeen (meanin' "killin'"; just a different way of spellin') but I learned somethin'. I felt this joint right here. Good job on it. My Rating: 4.2
03. "Diamonds In My Grill"
Let's see this one. I should like it enough for a real nice rating. >>> This sounds better than tha previous joint on here. Nice rhymes on this and nice lil' beat in tha background. Nice job on this one! It sounded real nice. My Rating: 4.4
04. "No. 1 Spot"
I didn't type tha "number" symbol 'cause it for some reason gets deleted on Myspace. Anyway, there iz a "number" symbol in tha title instead of "No." (which iz what I put) for those readin'. I just did that so you could see. Anyway, lemme hear: >>> Okay, it's over tha Ludacris beat here… Wow, you sound real young on here. No wonder, this was a big one in 2005 (which was when I first talked to you on tha Lil' Scrappy board back in Early 2005). You did yo thang on this right chea. I'm really feelin' that beat at tha end (sounds like it could be tha beat to No. 5). My Rating: 4.3
05. "24's On Da Lac"
Can it beat "Diamonds In My Grill"'s rating? High anticipation for this! >>> 45 seconds long!! Nice but it was like mixed ½ and ½ (tha last 20 seconds of tha last song was this and then tha 1st 20 seconds of this was this song). It confused me a lil' but it's all good. My Rating: 3.8
06. "Good Enough 2 Eat"
This should be interesting. >>> Like tha screwed & chopped sample for tha hook and tha beat iz nice and mellow. Sounded nice on this. Good rhymes. My Rating: 4.0
07. "Do Ya Thang"
Lucky No. 7? >>> Nice beat. This iz jammin' along wit those great lyrics. Again, you sound younger on this one. Good shit. My Rating: 4.5
08. "Dope Boyz"
This should be anotha real good track for me to listen to. Always gotta appreciate tha title! >>> Good screwed hook wit that tighter beat! Sounds like it has a "Hustlin'" feel to it. It sounds good again. Nice job Spark. My Rating: 4.4
09. "Feel Good"
>>> Sounds pretty good. Nice lyrics and okay beat. My Rating: 4.0
10. "Allow Me 2 Re-Introduce Myself"
Your name iz… Spark Dawg! >>> Soundin' pretty good off that Fat Joe "Safe To Say (The Incredible)" beat. Nice job here. My Rating: 4.2
11. "Hate It Or Luv It"
Over tha The Game & 50 Cent beat. I heard it at tha end of tha last joint and it sounded slower so let's see… >>> It ain't just tha beat but your voice iz screwed on here too. I'm glad there's some complete screwed & choppedness on here. Pretty nice job on this. My Rating: 3.9
12. "Spark Dawg Ain't Da Future?"
You are tha future and all those magazines that put you in their magazine show proof! >>> Good old school beat in tha beginning and nice switch to a beat that sounded like "Trade It All" from Fabolous & Jagged Edge. Pretty good on this here. My Rating: 3.6
13. "Bizness Man Flow"
Let's see this joint… >>> Sounds like that "Make Her Feel Good" beat. Rhymes are definitely nice on here and now it sounds like it's about to switch to tha "Welcome To Atlanta" beat. Good job on this. My Rating: 4.2
14. "Iz U A Hustla?"
I am when it comes to these reviews, ya dig! >>> Good mix of "Welcome To Atlanta" and "I'ma Hustla" beats. Pretty good on this shit right here. Nice and energetic style wit them beats combinin' all tha time. My Rating: 3.9
15. "I'm From Da Dirty Souf"
That's right! Gotta luv tha Souf! >>> Beat iz nice and tha lyrics about them A&Rs hearin' your name in tha streets iz nice. Good shit right here. My Rating: 4.1
16. "Supa-Fly"
Let's hear you ova tha Three 6/Young Buck/8 Ball & MJG beat: >>> I'm glad you didn't jack it in a boring way (where it's tha hook and tha beat). You have a TIGHT beat wit just tha hook. Wow WICKED rhymes on this!! Crazy! No wonder, it's No. 16! I always have faith in tha No. 16 joint! My Rating: 4.6
17. "From Da Home Of Da Trill"
Gotta feel tha way y'all act "trill" in Texas while lots of my dudes in my Louisiana connection act "trill" there too. >>> Beat iz okay/great deeper down south feel while tha lyrics are just great and consistant! My Rating: 4.3
18. "Live Good"
>>> A lil' too smooth for me wit that beat but tha rhymes aren't that bad. My Rating: 3.4
19. "Texas Massacre"
Let's see what this iz about… >>> Nice beat and great rhymes on this once again. You ain't playin' if you "hit someone's A&R wit a Mack 10." I like all that loud mixin' at tha end. My Rating: 4.1
20. "Say U Wanna Squash It"
Lil' T.I.P. sample here. Let's see how good this joint gon sound: >>> Yeah this was nice. Nothin' much to say except for nice beat and good rhymes. My Rating: 4.0
21. "Need No Introduction"
I agree. >>> Oh tha "Hoe Sit Down" beat (I miss that beat). Really anticipated now! Yeah, you sounded nice on this joint. That'll always be a real nice beat. My Rating: 4.3
22. "Lay Back"
>>> Real fast rappin' on here wit that smooth, "blowin' dro" type hook. Definitely tight wit all that! My Rating: 4.4
23. "Bangers Bang"
Hope this iz tight too! >>> Sounded nice and smooth. Great rhymin' again. My Rating: 4.1
24. "Texas Boyz"
>>> That usual Pimp C sample (R.I.P. to him… Wow, it's almost a year that he passed away). Nice lil' jam right here. My Rating: 3.8
25. "Hood Anthem" Feat. The Godfather Of The South
A feature, huh? This could be good! >>> Yeah, it's over your boy Scarface's "Guess Who's Back" beat. Yeah, you got yourself a real nice joint right here. Tha rappin' iz great wit those rhymes! Interesting shit about tha hood you from. My Rating: 4.5
26. "Heavy In Da Streetz"
That's what your status iz right now. And I'm sure it's growin'. Who knows, it'll prolly grow wit this review here! >>> I like tha "weed" part. Nice lil' rappin' here. My Rating: 3.9
27. "Stay Off My Dick"
A message to tha haterz. Let's see how you bigged them up (like you did wit one of your recent songs from earlier in tha year): >>> LOL @ that Ludacris sample (mainly wit tha "please stay, please stay…"). Great shit from you on this once again. My Rating: 4.2
28. "Pocket Fulla Bank"
I know you got tha mouth "fulla" blang so let's check your pockets: >>> Nice beat and great rappin' again. My Rating: 4.3
½time: It's 5:31 PM and I ain't stoppin'! This shit iz very consistant (no wonder, it's of your best verses from tha past years).
29. "Get Paper, Get Cash"
Nice title/motto and high anticipation for it! >>> Yeah nice lil' joint. Still feelin' tha shit you be sayin'. My Rating: 4.0
30. "Grill & Bang"
Anotha cool title here… >>> This sounds better than tha last joint. Tha beat iz better and has those bumpin' sounds like Mike Jones's "Turning Headz". Great shit. My Rating: 4.3
31. "Trap Full"
Hopefully this iz a trap song! >>> An even better beat; sounds real nice! Tight lyrics and an even jammin' joint right here! My Rating: 4.4
32. "Diamonds (Free Big Spade)"
What happened to Big Spade? >>> I like tha "like a king" line around tha :45 mark. Sounds pretty nice so far. Good shit again. My Rating: 4.2
33. "D-Boy Jam"
Expectin' this to be good! >>> It was just a verse and soundin' nice. My Rating: 3.8
34. "BossHoggin'"
Maybe this'll be better… >>> Another pretty nice verse. My Rating: 3.7
35. "Slayer Mix"
Let's see this mix… >>> I like that speeded up Young Dro/T.I. "My Girl" beat. Sounded pretty nice for a mix but I feel tha other 2 jointz before this were better. My Rating: 3.5
36. "Did What I Did"
Let's see this one… >>> Anotha pretty nice verse. Some of these are too short. That's why they're not 4.0+ ratings right now. My Rating: 3.6
37. "Sidekick Pimpin'"
>>> Nice lyrics about your sidekick. I do feel you on how you would act if someone touched it; you'd fuck 'em up unless they started suckin' your dome (females that iz). Good shit for this one. My Rating: 4.1
38. "R.I.P. Big Rowdy (June 13th, 1983 – September 10th, 2005)"
What happened to him? *Upset face for him bein' only 22* I guess I'll find out! >>> Good job on using tha Z-Ro/Trae "1 Night" beat; a classic Music Choice Rap song! Too bad about him. And really, if guns were banned, then there'd prolly be less deaths easily. Sorry to hear about him but you did a good job on this! My Rating: 4.5
39. "We Da Future Of Da Souf"
Once again, congrats to Green City for havin' their song, "Like A Pornstar", be on Music Choice Rap last year! That was a good move! >>> Nice real slow beat! Nice crunk style wit those great rhymes from you! Tight shit right here! My Rating: 4.5
40. "Dope Boy Fresh"
What should I expect? >>> Nice smooth jam right here; just laid back rappin'. I feel you on this one. My Rating: 4.2
41. "Sonic Flow"
What should I expect… again? >>> Somethin' about that beat where it caught my attention good. I'm feelin' tha rhymes on this one too. My Rating: 4.1
42. "I'm From Texas"
An old anthem from you I think… >>> Nice creepy beat and great rhymin' again. My Rating: 3.8
43. "Room Fulla Groupies"
Just one "groupie" and not multiple? >>> Yeah, it says "groupies." I think that's an ID error where tha "s" iz missin'. Oh tha beat iz nice on this one. Catchy hook and nice jam right here. My Rating: 4.2
44. "Texas Is Da Home"
>>> I have always liked that "Texas is da home of tha playaz & pimps" line. Nice shit again. My Rating: 3.7
45. "Get 2 Trippin'"
>>> Your voice sounds different on this and wit a real raw attitude! Nice right there wit that tight beat. My Rating: 4.3
46. "Wood Wheel"
It'll prolly have tha same sample Slim Thug used last year. >>> 3:27 on tha length (long for this mixtape)! Nope, not tha Slim Thug used sample. More of a Pimp C sample. Not bad song right here. It's jammin' and tha rhymes are pretty fast and good. My Rating: 3.8
47. "What Must I Say?"
Let's get into what you gon say! >>> I thought this was random for this mixtape since it was more on jointz wit tha rhymin'. This was for tha females and was not bad. My Rating: 3.3
48. "In Da Streetz"
Let's see… >>> I like that raw beginning. Pretty nice beginning and jammin' right here. Good job on this one. My Rating: 4.3
49. "5% Tint"
Showin' off tha slab! >>> Beat iz a lil' nice but this was kinda decent for me. I liked tha beginning about tha "5% tint" though. My Rating: 3.6
50. "I'ma King"
Iz it ova P$C's beat? >>> Yup. It sounds like it's faster wit a lil' bit of it mixed wit tha "25 Lighters" beat. Nice mix. Nice rhymes also. My Rating: 4.2
51. "Lookin' Good"
>>> Pretty nice swag song here wit a pretty nice beat. I'm gonna go for this one bein' a good joint. My Rating: 4.2
52. Outro
After this, 5 jointz remain. Let's see what this outro gon say… >>> That's really cool about Scarface pointin' at you (in a good way). I'm really anticipated to hear tha old shit wit you and tha whole G's Up shit. My Rating: N/A
53. "Shoot'em Up" Feat. Lil' Scrappy & G's Up
High anticipation level! Bringin' back them ol' 2004-2005 dayz!! >>> That sounds like an old Lil' Jon & The East Side Boyz beat ("Knockin' Headz Off" almost)… Yeah, I REALLY miss tha '04 dayz where gas was cheap (well, it started to rise then), Music Choice was tha shit when I first got it (they played so much non-mainstream shit and now it's all about tha mainstream shit). Great 1st verse and real nice, raw hook! Lil' Scrappy soundin' nice on his verse (tha 2nd one). Great ending too wit that hook! My Rating: 4.7
54. Spark Speaks 1
An interlude again! Didn't expect one on here! >>> Yeah, it did sound real old. No wonder why it got tha best rating on here so far! My Rating: N/A
55. "G's Up Meets G-Unit" Feat. Lil' Scrappy & G's Up
Now let's see what happened when it went G-Unit style… >>> Not bad on Lil' Scrappy's part. Damn, that "What Up Gangsta" beat sounds good when you hear just tha instrumental in tha back (without 50 Cent's part). Ahh, those dayz… You're on tha 2nd verse… Nice part from you. G's Up on tha 3rd verse and high anticipation for them… Yeah, they sounded tight. Gotta give this joint up to G's Up; they did they thang (same thing on that "Shoot'em Up" joint). Good shit here. My Rating: 4.3
56. Spark Speaks 2
I figured there was a sequel to this "Spark Speaks" (since tha 1st one was No. 54 on here). >>> I agree wit you on tha jackin' beat thing. You did yo thang on a bunch of these beats! LOL @ Scrappy comin' through tha studio drunk and shit. My Rating: N/A
57. "Bussin' My Beretta" Feat. Lil' Scrappy
This iz it… We're at tha end and how we gon end it?? High anticipation wit that title! >>> 5:34 on tha length (saved tha longest for tha end). Not sure about this beat (I expected more gangstaish beat). I really like that singin' of tha title!! Oh shit, you sound REAL REAL young on here. Soundin' good though! Reminds me of Lil' Wayne when he was real, real young! Great 1st verse. Scrappy's on tha 2nd verse and wow, he sounds real, real young too! Real nice parts from him here and there! He just keeps goin' and goin'! He definitely did his thang and looks like he's talkin' on tha end of this. Nice and long wit tha talkin'! Keepin' it gangsta back then! Yeah, that had to have been a REAL GREAT moment for you in tha studio Spark. I'm glad it's a great memory for you. My Rating: 4.5
Overall: End Time: 6:36 PM. Shit, that was REAL long but I enjoyed reviewin' it. My video game fucked up during tha review (when I finished reviewin' No. 44 I think) but it's all good. You definitely had some tight-ass rhymes there and my favorite part was tha endin' jointz wit Lil' Scrappy & G's Up!!
