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. "Bout Yaself"
Let's see how we gon start this bitch off… >>> How weird, tha last review I started at 3:33 PM today; this one I'm startin' at 5:55 PM, lmao! Pretty nice start so far as it gets me anticipated! Pretty nice so far… It feels like it keeps rewinin' back. Yola did his thang so far on tha 1st verse; glad he's doin' better!! Likin' tha "bumble bee" line. Tha rest of tha 1st verse wasn't so bad but then tha hook got pretty catchy; you like sayin' "bout yaself" 'cause I think I heard you say it a bunch of times before and I liked it. As "Montay made this beat," that's cool 'cause this iz a real nice beat from him; pretty nice 2nd verse also. I thought it was gonna be longer than 2 verses but still nice. My Rating: 4.3
02. "She Like It"
Let's see watz good here… >>> Sounds like Sean Kingston on tha hook… Not bad on tha hook. Your voice sounds a lil' different… iz it an auto-tone? I hope not. Not bad for a 1st verse… Yeah, it sounds like an auto-tone. How come tha word "ass" was censored in tha 2nd verse? That was dumb 'cause this iz a mixtape (supposed to be dirty only); not bad on tha 2nd verse. That hook might be gettin' to me… This might be good for tha mainstream but damn, that auto-tone iz gettin' to me also. LOL @ sayin' "lightnin' neva strike twice;" (makes me think of Saint Etienne "Lightning Strikes Twice" as that was a lot better, in my opinion, than this joint). Okay, that hook has to go now! Tha beat iz nice but it sounds too "light" for Yola (meanin' that it's tha opposite from a "dark" beat). My Rating: 3.4
03. "Betta Than I Eva Was"
Let's see what this joint iz about… >>> LOL @ that laugh in tha beginning! Pretty nice beat again; catchy hook on this. Pretty nice 1st verse as this joint iz jammin'. 2nd verse iz just as good as tha 1st verse and this joint didn't disappoint me! My Rating: 4.5
04. "Whole World Watching"
Okay, at this point, B-Don told me "he stopped listenin' after Track 3." We'll see if he's right… >>> Hook sounds pretty decent; can't complain. Not bad on tha 1st verse; rhymes were a lil' simple/cool. Cool that you "rockin' Coog" 'cause I love Coog clothing. Not bad on tha 2nd verse as I liked it a lil' better than tha 1st verse. My Rating: 3.7
05. "Trap Boys" Feat. Gucci Mane & OJ Da Juiceman
Hope this iz good and that it doesn't disappoint 'cause of tha title; high anticipation!! >>> Looks like tha mp3s don't say who's featured on this 'cause Gucci Mane iz on this. BTW, I think tha beat iz cool as that intro was cool in tha beat! Up, even OJ Da Juiceman on this too; great lil' triple rapper collabo here! LOL @ all those "ay, ay, ay, ay / okay, okay, okay, okay…"s in tha 1st verse; tha music sounds louder than how OJ sounded but I guess I can say okay 1st verse. Now, I hear you on tha 2nd verse… Pretty nice attitude on tha 2nd verse; it sounded short. Now, I hear Gucci on tha 3rd verse… Pretty anthematic in tha beat but I feel like I don't hear many lyrics about "I sold this/have this/got this;" that kinda disappointed me. My Rating: 3.8
06. "Walk Like U Got Some Sense"
Unexpected title… BTW, I took like a 20 minute break 'cause I had to look for a CD cover online for a future review I'm gonna be doin'. Anyway, let's hear what this joint has to offer… >>> Anotha cool intro… That intro really gets me in tha mood to hear this joint; LOL @ that laugh again! Hearin' tha hook right away and it sounds tight, especially wit that "undefeated" part. I'm glad you "turn that ass to pancakes" Yola. Yeah, definitely jammin' here and likin' tha beginning of tha 2nd verse! Great 2nd verse and as it had begun great, it ended great (wit that "I stay on point like binoculars" line)! My Rating: 4.6
07. "Rollin'" Feat. Layzie Bone
Montay on tha beat on this one so we'll see how good it iz; I'm expectin' it to be (since I heard a lil' of it at tha end of "WLUGSS") wit that nice title too. >>> OOH great soundin' on tha hook! Lovin' tha beat and that hook definitely put tha start of this to a real nice start! Beat iz gettin' better in tha 1st verse and not bad on tha rappin' for this; nice 1st verse! I hear (I think) Krayzie Bone on tha 2nd verse… Sorry, I can't tell if that's Layzie or Krayzie. Neva mind, I refreshed my mind wit that "Ridin'" joint wit Chamillionaire & Krayzie Bone; this iz Layzie Bone then; good shit. My Rating: 4.4
08. "Big Dummy"
LMAO @ tha title! What tha hell you gon do on a title like this? >>> Nice beat in tha beginning; I guess DJ Panic likes to use that laugh in tha beginning of his drops, huh, lol? I'm glad you've "neva been a follower." Feelin' that 1st verse; tha hook sounds kinda odd but not bad. I don't think I knew that you made beats; that's cool that "you make beats everyday." Not bad here… My Rating: 3.9
09. "Tall Rims" Feat. Gucci Mane & OJ Da Juiceman
Lemme hear about your "tall rims" and if this gon be an anthem… >>> Not bad for a start and didn't expect Gucci to be on this. Pretty nice beat and you're on tha 1st verse… Not bad on tha 1st verse. Gucci iz not bad on tha hook; now I hear him on tha 2nd verse… His lyrics don't really catch onto me so I can't really say his verse was outstanding. Up, tha Juice dude iz back also on tha 3rd verse… Now, I'm likin' him rappin' than Gucci… Maybe Gucci should stick to those hooks 'cause his voice works there and on some of these jointz; Juice did his thang. My Rating: 3.8
10. "Fuck You" Feat. B.O.B. & Lil' Boosie
I have reviewed in tha past and here's what I had to say: An old Music Choice Rap song from April… They only played it like 2, 3 times though. Lemme re-hear 'cause it has been a while… >>> Forgot you were on tha ID… I remember that country style beat in tha hook. Nice lil' beat and reminds me of when I went to Florida from April 30 – May 11. Boosie had a nice verse there; still likin' this joint. My Current Rating: 3.9
11. "Outta Town Ballin'"
Likin' tha title a lot; hopefully it makes me in a good mood! >>> Ooh, it's long (5:01 on tha length)! That's cool that you talked in tha beginning. Tha beat iz pretty nice and tha rhymes are okay for tha 1st verse; sounds like consistant rappin'. I'm glad "you be on tha Southside, sellin' niggaz powder." Finally, at 3:11 on this joint, tha 2nd verse comes… Still sounds like you're rappin' consistantly on here. Glad you "rockin' a polo" on this shit right here. My Rating: 3.8
12. "Beans"
I don't eat "beans" but let's see why you rappin' 'bout 'em… >>> Feelin' tha beat on this one. Likin' all these "same color as ___ ___" parts! Not bad on tha 1st verse and tha hook. Hearin' tha 2nd verse now and I'm likin' that "bittin' like a gator" line; pretty neat lil' jam right here. My Rating: 3.7
½time: Not bad so far… There were a few songs I loved on a 1st listen wit others bein' shit I can deal wit.
13. "Bucks Up"
Looks interesting… Lemme hear this shit. >>> Fuck those haterz that are hatin' on you; there's no reason they should hate on you! Tha hook sounded pretty good and tha beat izn't that bad. Tha 1st verse was cool. 2nd verse was energetic on your end. My Rating: 3.9
14. "Gotta Get Me Some"
So we're gonna "slow it down" as you just said? I don't know if I'm gonna look forward though… >>> Decent start wit a nice beat and a nice hook. Pretty good for tha ladies here. My Rating: 3.5
15. "Ain't Gon Let Up"
I didn't expect this old-ass song to be on here… I still love it and those sound effects were here before stupid "Crank Dat Soulja Boy" used 'em; always liked this beat and how you delivered this shit. Plus, this was a real good video too. My Current Rating: 4.6
16. "I'm A Dog" Feat. Gucci Mane
Tha title looks cool and I'm dyin' to hear it, especially since it's tha No. 16 joint on here! >>> Didn't expect Gucci again but he sounds real good on this shit as it's hella catchy wit all those "I'm a dog" parts. I have to say that tha 1st verse was pretty catchy on this so good job to Gucci for doin' a nice job, makin' this shit catchy. Now, you're on tha 2nd verse… Pretty good also; real nice joint right here and just love that hook! Up, Gucci's even on tha 3rd verse… It wasn't that bad but didn't top his 1st verse on here. My Rating: 4.3
17. "Till I D.I.E."
Let's hear what this iz about… Does it have to do wit you gettin' shot? >>> It's short wit only 1:42 on tha length. Neva mind, I was soooo off, lol! I don't know who's on tha hook but they DEFINITELY made that a REAL CATCHY hook!! And you, you're just VERY amped up wit this shit!! Oh shit, tha joint ended real fast! I hope this gets extended in tha future; nice shit! My Rating: 4.4
18. "Loved By Few, Hated By Many"
That looks like Lil' Keke's album title. Let's see what you say about this… >>> Good beat on this shit and it sounds like your rappin' on this iz pretty nice. I like that you said "got these hataz on mute;" that was a nice line. 2nd verse was pretty nice too. My Rating: 4.0
19. "Meet Me Outside"
Iz this gonna be like a "trap" song? >>> Ooh, long joint wit 4:50 on tha length! I don't know tha singer on tha hook but he sounds like he makes this joint continue to sound like a dark track; catchy hook right here. Yeah, "don't treat Yola like a wimp;" great message to those fucks out there! Great beat on this shit and your 1st verse was nice; wow, what a great hook wit that beat! That singer, actually a rapper, iz on tha 2nd verse… Great 2nd verse from that dude! Now, I hear a different rapper on tha 3rd verse… He sounds pretty tight also. My Rating: 4.2
20. "Nuthin' 2 Me"
That's what tha haterz are: "nuthin' 2 you." Let's see how good you do on this joint. >>> Kick-ass beat start! Great 1st verse! Finally, tha hook and it's tight!! Not bad on tha 2nd verse but a pretty kick-ass song overall! I wish I could hear that hook longer!! My Rating: 4.4
21. "Return Of Da Truth"
>>> Anotha great beat intro!! Pretty good verses and a great hook to motivate yourself! LOL @ that "monkey, go and *screwed voice* eat a banana!" line on tha 3rd verse! Great beat along wit those lyrics of yours on this shit; "don't give a fuck" iz right! My Rating: 4.3
22. "I Know U Like Dat"
Didn't come wit tha download link that I downloaded so I had to Google it… >>> Nice start wit that great beat. I like tha "workin' like tha internet" part. Pretty nice hook too and tha 1st verse was good wit your flowin'. Pretty nice joint and not bad on tha 2nd verse too. My Rating: 3.9
23. "Lunchboxx" Feat. T-Pain
What's in yo "lunchboxx?" LOL! >>> Huh? Where did T-Pain come from? Beat iz decent so far… Why T-Pain? Of course, his part on tha hook iz bleh… LOL @ tha "bust it open like a 'lunchboxx'" parts. Not too much into this joint… My Rating: 3.1
24. "Zone 1, 2, 3, 4"
LOL… It finally says some info in tha ID (as this iz tha 1st one; it says "Prod. By DJ Montay"). How come it took so long? Anyway, hope he made anotha nice beat! >>> Great beat, even though tha hook has those "usual" DJ Montay parts in tha beat. Pretty nice parts from you, especially on tha hook. My Rating: 3.8
25. "Freestyle (Outro)"
I thought there was a 25th joint on here for a sec; I was wrong. Oh I see what was wrong now… On tha mp3s, it says "Return Of Da Truth" was No. 21 and then it just says "Lunchboxx" iz No. 23. Okay, I just Googled it and there iz a No. 22 joint. *Goes back and reviews No. 22* Now, here we go; time to end this! >>> Okay beat (too much like a New York type of beat). This iz just decent so far and nothin' really special about it… My Rating: 2.6
Overall: End Time: 8:11 PM. Pretty good job to hear you again Yola. This was a mix of decent/pretty good/somewhat tight. Tha beginning had a bunch of okay/pretty good jointz and then during tha 2nd ½, tha jointz got pretty tight.
