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 10.31.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. "All Or Nothing (Intro)"
How's this intro gonna sound for a start to this mixtape? >>> I like tha talkin' in tha beginning and pretty nice lil' rappin' in this intro. I like tha "piss/burn" part in tha near-end of this. I didn't expect rappin' for tha intro but it sounded nice. My Rating: 4.0
02. "If U Don't Know"
Cool a lil' album snippet/song I don't know. Let's reveal a lil' secret of tha album right now; I gots anticipation for it! >>> Cool that's it's pretty much tha whole entire joint (2:57 on tha length); I expected a lot shorter but good thing it's longer!! Pretty nice hook on this and tha beat iz definitely for tha streetz, ya dig. I like tha "I spit that white milk" line; that was nice. Nice 1st verse and in tha hook, I like that "I got tired of waitin', skipped thaa ma'fuckin' line" line! I'm glad you talked at tha end; I guess this was just a snippet. My Rating: 4.1
03. "Oh Yeah"
Anotha newbie for me. Let's see how you handle thingz on here dawg… >>> That's a fiya beat right there!! Not bad on tha hook so far on a 1st listen. Let's hear what you got to say on tha 1st verse… Pretty nice 1st verse as this shit sounds nice; real nice quality on tha soundin'. You got "100 straps in yo house?" That's pretty nuts if you do; nice 2nd verse by tha way. My Rating: 4.2
04. "Bread (Money, Money, Money)"
One I know so here goes what I have to say: Nice intro; yes, an acronym. Yes Wes Fif, once again, you're tha truth. Yeah, cool beat in a weird/good way (mainly during tha hook); a nice hustler anthem right here. Gotta get that $$$! My Current Rating: 4.4
05. "I'm Tellin' Ya"
J.A. on tha production so who knows what'll happen after their "See Me" collab (which was INCREDIBLE)!! This one had a nice buzz online on Word Of South so let's see how much I like it! >>> I like how your "money goin' mad, again;" that's a nice lil' part right there. I expected a lot better in tha beat, but it's still good. I like tha "my name on papers like a typewriter" line. Tha hook iz only okay for me (I expected better). Tha 2nd verse iz definitely nice. I think because of my anticipation (like wit how "See Me" sounded), I had too much of it for this joint; don't worry, I still like this joint. My Rating: 3.9
06. "Make You Smile"
Let's see how this joint gon sound… It's new to me so I don't know what to expect… >>> Didn't expect that weird Trance beat in tha beginning (caught my attention) (like wit "Haterz Everywhere"). Pretty nice 1st verse but again, hook iz just okay for me and I don't have "I love this song" type of interest. 2nd verse was pretty nice also; this iz a nice joint for tha females right here. Tha 3rd verse was also a pretty nice verse. Sorry if I'm not really extendin' my feedback much on this. My Rating: 3.6
07. "Stupid Goonz" Feat. Armstrong & Dirty Gee
Ooh, unexpected title right here! Likin' tha title so I'm definitely interested in hearin' what this's about! >>> I hear a Marvelous J beat… Gettin' a lil' pissed at my video game but I'm tryin' not to have it effect this song. You had a nice 1st verse and tha hook iz a lil' better than tha past 2 hooks I just heard. Tha beat iz definitely nice and tha dude on tha 2nd verse sounded nice (and sounded like 8 Ball a lil')! I liked tha "red dickies" part. Now, it's tha 3rd verse so let's see here… His part was pretty good. I like tha 2nd verse tha best on here. My Rating: 4.2
½time: Not bad for a start, even though I expected a lil' better for Wes Fif… Maybe it's just tha mood I'm in? I don't know. Either way, keepin' some of tha 4.0 ratings alive though so I gotta give him credit for that.
08. "I'm Here Now"
Had this one earlier in tha year (May). It had potential to get to MTV Jams but it neva happened. I liked tha video when I saw it also when I got this joint. Now this sounds so much better than tha other "new" jointz I checked out on here; really like that beat! Nice lil' intro and hook too! I always like tha way tha piano sounds in tha beat (wit that pattern); nice 1st verse too wit all tha "awesome" raps! That was a nice 2nd verse too; too bad this didn't get tha recognition it deserved! 3rd verse was tight too! My Current Rating: 4.6
09. "Warfare" Feat. Viper
Ooh a new joint and I'm not 100% sure who tha Viper dude iz but I hope this iz good. >>> Uh oh, Jamaican sound in tha beginning? Not sure what'll happen here… Feelin' tha beat so far. Pretty good 1st verse but here comes tha hook… Not really gettin' into tha unexpected Jamaican style but tha beat picked up during tha hook. You had a nice 2nd verse (felt it a lil' more) and tryin' to get into tha hook still… I like tha lil' talking at tha last 2 seconds. My Rating: 3.6
10. "Wastin' Your Time" Feat. Eliseo (of Treal)
This was anotha joint that had potential but did nothin'… It's a nice collabo here and did deserve to get its shine earlier this year. Likin' tha nice lil' beat, tha singin' on tha hook and your verses. My Current Rating: 3.9
11. "That's That Shit"
Likin' tha title. Lemme see what I can get outta it… >>> I'm glad you're "100% hood" and that you "can't switch it up." Sounds like a cool club banger… Likin' that beat and tha hook iz pretty cool; nice 1st verse by tha way. 2nd verse iz soundin' nice, especially wit that "gettin' waxed like a candle" line. My Rating: 4.1
12. "Through The Roof"
I thought I knew it but I don't. Let's see if this one gon go "through tha roof!" >>> It has tha potential to be "through tha roof." Jacked tha Shawty Lo part in tha beginning wit tha "oh Lord, I done found my swag" line. Must be Ribah on tha beat 'cause of that trancey sound again in tha beat; this iz a much better beat than tha other trancey beat. Nice 1st verse and (of course) a cool hook. LOL @ tha "like a lollipop" sample from Lil' Wayne in tha middle of tha 2nd verse. Great 2nd and 3rd verses here; definitely likin' this joint more than lots of tha jointz on here. My Rating: 4.4
13. "Ridin' Wit My Thang"
Heard tha beat right when "Through The Roof" was mixin' into this and it gets me more anticipated to hear this. Lemme hear what you got to say when you got yo "thang" (prolly referin' to a chopper) in this joint. >>> An ID error as there's an unsourced singer on tha hook. I didn't expect tha singer on tha hook but yeah, as I'm listenin' to Wes Fif right now on tha 1st verse, I was right about tha "thang." Pretty nice parts from you but I rather of heard someone else vs. a singer on tha hook; either way, I do like tha hook. My Rating: 3.9
14. "My Dawgz"
I see you put a "z" instead of an "s" (like it alwayz was) in tha "dawgz." I did review this a few times and it looks like this iz tha best track on tha mixtape. According to my latest review on it (wit some updated info): Yeah this joint SO HOT it won a few awards wit me in 2007: It won tha award for My Favorite Dirty South Rap Song of 2007, and tha song, tha 2 previous Wes Fif mixtapes, and so on made Wes Fif win tha award for Best New Artist for me for 2007. This song did tha damn thang and landed at No. 66 on my Top 777 Songs of 2007 and got 100 spins flat wit me in 2007. Since it got 100 spins wit me, it won an award for this song being a *CERTIFIED CLASSIC* wit me (100 or more spins wit me). Tha title iz DEFINITELY a personal favorite (especially tha subject). I wind up doin' everything for "my dawgs" in Louisiana (in tha music business online). By tha way, since I reviewed this joint tha first time, especially now in 2008, I pretty much stopped most of tha things I do for "my dawgs" at my old college 'cause of tha shitty semester I had during tha 3rd semester. People started dislikin' me and shit outta nowhere, but for "my dawgs" on tha internet (like Jimmy The DJ and err-body in Louisiana), I got yo back all day, err-day. BTW, I'm boostin' tha rating up by a 10th of a point. My Current Rating: 4.8
15. "I Love It Baby" Feat. Dion Primo
So forgot about this joint (and I didn't expect it to finish tha mixtape off). I remember tha battle for this vs. Plies's "Bust It Baby". This was originally called "Bust It Baby" 'til Plies (of course) did better wit his joint; then this joint got changed. How weird that I even got this joint this year too… What a long fuckin' year and there's still 2 months exact left!! LOL! Lemme re-hear this! >>> I think tha beat intro iz cool. BOOOOO tha lyrics were changed on tha hook? It should've been like Green City vs. Shop Boyz when they both had a "Party Like A Rockstar" track: Green City changed tha title to "Like A Pornstar" but still kept tha "party like a rockstar" part in tha hook. I didn't like that change that happened in this but then again, I guess I be on my exclusive shit since I heard it "Bust It Baby" style in January of this year. Great verse by tha way from you; that's still a catchy hook but better wit tha "bust it baby" lyrics. A great 2nd verse from you too. Great joint right here (anotha one wit no exposure); too bad it lost to Plies's when it came to gettin' out there. I thought Plies's was more better to tha subject but this joint sounded better overall. I'm gonna deduct my original rating that I was gonna give this by a 10th of a point due to tha "I Love It Baby" title/lyrics. My Rating: 4.2
Overall: End Time: 2:28 PM. Well, tha mixtape actually picked up a lil' towards tha end and I was glad to review this for you and for L.B.; hope y'all like tha review as I enjoyed listenin' to you, Wes Fif, and your rhymes. There was only like 2 songs out of 15 that I reviewed in tha past so that's watz good. I had a feelin' there was gonna be more but you keepin' yo new shit poppin'!
