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. Down Bad "Out Da Box"
Okay, this one I heard already but because I didn't really type much while reviewin' ('cause I was playin' Secret Of Mana, defeating a boss at tha time), I'm gonna make a fresh review for this. Here it goes! >>> A lil' mixin' to start it off. Yeah, I remember that hook and it's nice. Likin' this 1st verse so far. Can't really say much when it comes to Down Bad songs except for tha songs bein' jammin' wit nice rhymes to make tha track sound good. I like tha lil' quiet 2 second break before tha hook comes up. 2nd verse sounds nice so far. I like that it was rewound a bunch of times wit that "down in B.R. city where they can't stop jiggin'" part. Good shit. I'm gonna increase my rating by a 10th of a point 'cause I like it more. My Current Rating: 4.4
02. Beelow Feat. Lil' Josh "Now & Laters"
Don't think I heard so let's see what we got here… >>> Wasn't sure which voice was his at first but now I hear it and this sounds great again! Great 1st verse and I guess that other voice was tha voice on tha hook (whoeva it iz). BTW, forgot to mention that doeboy dude on tha front/back cover iz tight! I crack a smile everytime I see that doeboy wit tha pills and shit; that shit was creative. EDIT: Neva mind, that sounds like Lil' Josh (tha other person) and I must know this song if it's a collabo like this. That's ID Error No. 1. But this was nice shit right here! My Rating: 4.2
^ Just checked to see if I know it and I didn't know it. I also looked back at some reviews and realized songs I've reviewed in tha past. Shit, so many of them I was like "so that person was on that CD that I reviewed??" I would've neva guessed I reviewed shit in tha past that I did 'cause it looked REAL COOL to look back at it!!
03. Dirty Boyz "My Nerve"
I think this iz new to me. A song that's gettin' in my head right now iz somethin' like "*insert somethin' here* let ya nerves calm." I don't remember what song that iz that's goin' through my head but I finna peep this out and see watz good! >>> This iz a completely different song and DEFINITELY feelin' that hook so far wit tha "smoke weed" part; great hook! Tha dude on tha 1st verse has a "weed habit" but it's all good 'cause it's prolly makin' him feel good and helpin' him rap this shit. What's wit all that rewindin' wit tha "we make 'em dance like…" part? At 1:42, when it went in_and_out_like_that, I was wonderin' what tha fuck was goin' on? You should've did that to a part in tha verse instead. Either way, definitely a great 1st verse from before. 2nd verse was pretty nice too. Good joint right here. My Rating: 4.5
04. C-Loc Feat. Big Scoob & Young Ready "Miss Me With That Bullshit"
Anotha song I know (and prolly love). *checks* Yeah, looks like ID Error No. 2 & 3 'cause Big Scoob & Young Ready are featured on this bitch! Lemme hear what song this iz again. >>> Oh this iz tha PHONE CALL song!!! Tha beat iz tight so far and reminds me of playin' Tomb Raider III non-stop, trapped in a cavern!! C-Loc startin' off wit tha 1st verse! LOL @ all those phones! Hook iz tight and great evasion for bullshit! Big Scoob doin' tha hook and also tha 2nd verse! Great verse! DYIN' TO HEAR MY DAWG YOUNG READY!!!!! He's FUCKIN' KILLIN' IT AGAIN!!! Love Young Ready when it comes to rappin'!! Gets me bobbin' back 'n forth wit his vibe and his flowin'! GREAT mixin' too towards tha last hook! LMMFAO @ how you made tha "tha number you dialed iz not a workin' number" part slow/dead at tha end!! My Current Rating: 4.8
05. Southern Boyz "Jiggalate"
Usually anticipate these songs about jiggin' so I got my anticipation ready!! >>> Of course a great start so far; love tha Baton Rouge sound! Looks like tha 1st verse iz gonna be good 'cause it sounds pretty nice so far! I like how you rewind it back to tha "state iz Louisiana where we fuckin' go bananas" line! Great 1st verse right there and what a jammin' joint right here!! I definitely liked tha 2nd verse too! I liked how tha 2nd verse slowed down at tha end. Also REALLY likin' that in_and_out_shit_wit_tha_vocals_at_tha_end! My Rating: 4.5
06. Nu$$ie Feat. Lil' Cali "They Hate My (Remix)"
No error here as you got it RIGHT wit tha "$$" in Nu$$ie's name! This iz great that this joint iz on here! It's FIYA and it was able to break into my playlist recently!! It finally broke into my Top 10 Countdown too and iz climbing!! "Savage on tha beat!" That beat iz TOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKIN' HOT!!! That hook iz TOOO HOT!!! People just hatin' on Nu$$ie and it's fuckin' gay how there's haterz. Trust me, people from my old college hate on me (especially when we're out of college). They think "oh because Frankie doesn't play a sport, he ain't nothin'." So yeah, definitely feelin' this (especially in my case). One thing I LOVE about this Savage beat iz that it's CONSISTANTLY REPETITIVE and doesn't get boring! Nu$$ie + this beat = just as good as tha $500 scratch-off winner I got on June 23, 2008! Great rhymes, flowin' and tha beat! Nu$$ie takes anything and does a track tha RIGHT (or should I say tha DUMB) WAY!!! EDIT: Listenin' now and realize that it's ID Error No. 4 & 5 as Lil' Cali iz on tha feature and this iz tha remix. Damn, I thought it was tha original version. LOL @ that part that keeps repeatin' wit tha "Nu$$ie got a hit" or somethin' like that on tha 2nd verse. Nu$$ie's 2nd verse was a lot better. Original version would get an easy 4.8 rating from me but this gets a 4.6 from me. I like that slowed downness at tha end of tha 3rd verse! So Greg Dukes iz ur partner I see… My Current Rating: 4.6
07. Max Minelli Feat. Reno Da Gutta "Beat It Up"
ID Error No. 6: Reno Da Gutta iz featured on this. If I would've had this CD first, I wouldn't've noticed tha error. It sounds better than when I heard it once before. That beat sounds like some "havin' sex" type shit. I like this shit and Max's rappin' always gets tha thumbs up from me. Great verses from Max and I'm likin' Reno on tha 3rd verse. Nice shit right here. My Current Rating: 4.0
08. King Arthur "Wheel Chairs"
Not familiar wit this one so we'll see how good this gon be! >>> Those sound effects in tha beginning (sounds like a computer) sounds pretty nice. Hearin' tha hi-hats right now and they get me anticipated. Oh no, a dance! What's wit tha "wheel chair" dance? And tha "no fuckin' legs" shit? Ewe! Why iz this 4:13 long? It should be right at 3:00 in length. Not tha worst Rap song about a dance I heard… It ain't too bad ('cause of tha Baton Rougeish lyrics) but this ain't makin' me too happy. That "no legs" shit iz makin' me want to laugh. My Rating: 3.1
09. Nu$$ie Feat. Skull Duggrey "Yeah"
Neva heard before? Lemme hear it and see watz good! >>> Shit, it's shorter than that "Wheel Chairs" shit. LOVE tha *increases voice to sound like him* "Nu$$ie!!" part that Nu$$ie always shouts out!! Sounds more crunkish… I like tha lines that keep repeatin' in this. Great shit again from Nu$$ie! I hear ID Error No. 7: A featured artist on tha 2nd verse. I don't know who it iz… Looks like tha dude doesn't like Young Buck on tha 2nd verse. Nice song and it goes to show that you need one word for a NICE hook, unlike tha "Wheel Chairs" song where it was like 50 words for a hook that didn't go for me. My Rating: 4.2
EDIT: Got tha word from Nu$$ie's "Featuring Nu$$ie" CD that tha featured artist iz Skull Duggery.
½time: Definitely a real nice mixtape so far (with tha exception of No. 8)!! Hope this continues and I give those that are not cited some luv to this review!
10. Lil' Cali "On My Shit"
Let's see tha "shit" he's "on" on this joint. >>> Pretty good hook so far. Sounds like we got a great 1st verse so far. He works good on this rather than on tha "They Hate My (Remix)" joint. Great 1st verse and jammin' hook right here. This iz a thumbs up from me. Good 2nd verse on this shit. Tha 3rd verse iz soundin' nice too. That's good that you have tha strength to "turn pussy-ass-niggaz into vegetables." My Rating: 4.3
11. NIP Feat. Co. G "Out My Socks"
Who's this dude? I hope by lookin' at tha title that this gon have that nice Baton Rouge jiggin' style to it! >>> Yup, this iz tha type of style I wanted to hear wit this song! Nice hook and yeah, he even mentioned "jiggin'" at tha end of tha hook. Sounds like Boosie on tha 1st verse. Does he got tha same type of voice? I guess it's a Baton Rouge thing 'cause A-Mar iz like that too. Just hearin' that beat makes me really like this joint. Not just a great 1st verse but a great 2nd verse too. Nice and jammin' here (what I wanna hear)!! Nice effect on tha beginning of tha 3rd verse. However, it sounds like someone else iz on tha 3rd verse. You're gonna make me google it now to find out tha correct features! That was some nice fast rappin' on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse. My Rating: 4.6
EDIT: Lookin' online and it says Co. G iz tha featured artist (and no Boosie). I guess that makes this ID Error No. 8 then.
12. Young Supa "J's On My Toes"
Will this be good for me? >>> So King Arthur iz on tha beat huh? Looks like it's soundin' real nice so far. Ooh, tha beat changed real fast at about tha :20 mark. Good beat. Maybe King Arthur should just stick to beats instead of makin' dance type of songs. Good lyrics wit "keepin' that work for tha fiends." Yeah, this a REAL nice beat and there's so much goin' on here to comment about…! Okay, NICE beat, pretty cool hook, nice 1st verse, what else? I only think tha 2nd verse iz okay though. 3rd verse wasn't so bad too. Maybe this sounded better in tha beginning but still, tha beat really stood out on this one. My Rating: 4.1
13. Da Taliban Feat. Sam I Am "Pillhead Shyt"
Look at that nice title!! This better be REAL good and on some "pillhead shyt!!" >>> 4:41 on tha length so here goes my listenin'! Sounds like Sam I Am on tha beginning. Iz that tha 9th error on this mixtape? I'm assuming so that's ID Error No. 9. Great hook so far but yeah, that's easily Sam I Am 'cause that's a REAL NICE part from him 'cause tha way he raps iz gutta, fast and crazy!! DEFINITELY some "pillhead shyt" right here! Likin' that Mystikal feel too. Yeah, CRAZY-ASS 1st verse and REAL GREAT hook (mainly Sam I Am's part)!! For tha 2nd verse, most of it was just decent (1st verse was WAYYY better) but I guess it gets credit from me. I like that pause/rewind wit tha "wildlin' in tha club" part in tha beginning of tha 3rd verse. I can't even tell… iz that another dude on tha 3rd verse? Gonna have to google it again!
Nice 3rd verse by tha way. This joint was jammin'. Sam I Am EASILY gave this song tha most life it could have!! My Rating: 4.5
^ Spent about 5 minutes lookin' and I didn't really find anything but that's what I'm assuming for Sam I Am bein' featured.
14. Badd Nooze "Groovy"
Let's see how "bad" this "newz" gon be for this "groovy" track. >>> Sounds pretty good so far… Might have to get into that hook though. Pretty good 1st verse so far wit those club type of lyrics. I like tha line about Jay-Z when dude says "but I pop jiggas." Tha more this joint has this nice, club feel to it, tha more insane shit keeps happenin' in tha video game I'm playin', lol. If that's tha same dude on tha 2nd verse (can't tell), that's cool that he's got "dreads." Not bad on tha 2nd and 3rd verse. Okay, I give this a 4.0 rating 'cause of it bein' jammin'; tha jammin'ness iz consistant! My Rating: 4.0
15. Lil' Quick "Hating"
More new dudes… Let's see what this iz about. I'm gonna put my anticipation out for it! >>> Almost sounded like a younger version of Foxx on tha hook. That hook sounds a lot like Young Jeezy's "I Luv It". I guess I can say tha 1st verse wasn't so bad. That 2nd verse sounded better for me wit tha club lyrics. This was another jam right here. My Rating: 3.9
16. Thug Brothers "Jiggin' To Da Beat"
Tha one I always look forward to… No. 16! Let's see if you put somethin' real good for No. 16! >>> Decent start so far wit a good/somewhat okay hook wit all those places mentioned. Reminds me a lil' of an Unk song so that's why I'm not completed interested… Tryna get into that hook more wit tha "jiggin'" shit. 2nd verse gets me more interested in this joint. I like tha "smokin' purp" part and all tha shit that's bein' said on this 2nd verse iz nice. Tha last like 1.5 minutes iz just pretty consistant wit tha rappin' and tha beat so I don't really have to say much wit that. Started to like this towards tha middle! My Rating: 3.9
17. King Arthur "I'm Jiggy"
King Arthur's back for tha 3rd time (2nd actual joint he's rappin' on)! Will this be somethin' I go for? >>> Definitely anotha tight beat from him. This iz jammin' for me and that 1st verse was pretty good. Of course I gotta go for that hook wit all tha "jiggin'" shit. Sounds like anotha error wit someone on tha 2nd verse… Couldn't tell who it was but it was pretty nice too. Likin' that 3rd verse as that dude's "jiggin' off weed / drank / pills." REAL nice 3rd verse! How different for this mixtape, tha song faded out without any talking. My Rating: 4.1
18. Down Bad "Jump Clean"
It took a while but now back to a song I know. Nice hook, nice beat (feelin' it). I like them talkin' about girbauds. That's watz good. Yeah this a banger right here. Thumbs up to tha boyz of Down Bad! To continue wit what I just said, "'cause a nigga fresh, like tha first day of school. Beat a nigga ass, like tha last day of school." Hot shit right there!! To go wit tha girbauds, thumbs up to tha polo shirts. They're now becoming a favorite of mine. I also like how tha lyrics in this are mainly describin' a "fresh swag". Hearin' this joint again and likin' that beat a whole lot more now (very cool soundin') and that hook iz somethin' wit tha "grab an outfit then come out tha closet" part. I feel like I like it more now. My Current Rating: 4.2
Overall: End Time: 2:03 PM. 1 hour, 55 minutes of a nice review! This iz definitely a tight compilation and you know I'm curious about tha otha 3 that I have to get to! Keep this shit comin'!
