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 12.18.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. "Fresh Off The Ground"
Looks like this could be some tight shit by tha title! *Crosses fingers for an original beat* >>> Earl sounds like he in a GREAT mood to host this shit! I knew this was not gonna be an original beat (tha beat iz Young Jeezy's "Ya Dig"). Luckily, Yung Slab sounds like he good enough for me to like him, jacked beat or not! I like that hook, as it was good for tha hood, and to be catchy. Tha 1st verse was nice, especially that "a Baton Rouge nigga, smokin' killa, poppin' pain…" part! Oh wow, tha hook iz FIRE! Gotta luv when tha title iz said! This iz DEFINITELY some tight shit! Tha 2nd verse was pretty nice, even though it sounded a lil' shorter than tha 1st verse. I'm glad Earl was talkin' at tha end as well. What's wit tha 8 seconds of silence at tha end? Either way, I'm HELLLLLLLLA impressed from Yung Slab so far (off of one joint)!!! He goin' crazy than a ma'fucka on tha mic! Dyin' to see what's next!!! My Rating: 4.6
02. "Breathin'"
That looks like an error on tha tracklisting… It looks like it should be "Breathin'" wit an "i". But enough about that, lemme get into tha joint and see how much fire he "breathin'" into tha mic!! >>> I thought it was gonna be Fabolous "Breathe" beat, but nope, "Born N Raised" beat. GREAT START wit tha hook! It iz "Breathin'." I'm likin' tha "barettas" part; that shit was nice! CRAZY 1st verse, and tha hook iz off tha chain!!! Tha 2nd verse was real good too; can't get enough of that hook!! Five seconds of silence at tha end… I guess there's unknown silence at tha end of each joint. My Rating: 4.4
03. "Shittin' On U Niggas"
LOL @ tha "e" error again (where it says, "shitten"). That title looks like this shit gon be CRA-ZY!!! I wonder what beat you rappin' on… Hmm… Since tha last 2 were 2006, I'mma say… Purple City "Trap" (lol, how random of a guess). >>> I easily, for some reason, knew it wasn't gonna be a 2006 beat; it's 2008 as it's Shawty Lo's "Foolish" beat. I like that "4 words: 'fuck you, pay me!'" part! Off to a GREAT start wit that hook (including what I quoted)! Good "Captain Crunch" line in tha 1st verse; great first verse! Ooh, when you said tha title, it sounded RAW! LOL @ you, "not fuckin' wit dat skateboard shit;" me neither. I neva fucked wit that shit as I couldn't ride on a skateboard for longer than a few centimeters, lol. Great 2nd verse as well on this shit! Yes, Ya Boy Earl on tha outro of this shit! "Gas prices goin' up to $10?" Good thing they're only $1.79 right now where I'm at (Long Island, NY/Northeast PA). Great shit again! My Rating: 4.2
04. "Know Wat We Been 'Bout" Feat. K Flame
Even though tha "wat" in tha title iz okay ('cause of slang terms), tha "no" iz wrong, as it should be "know." Anyway, looks like we got a feature for tha 1st time, K Flame. I wonder how he gon sound? It's a competition now, lol! >>> Great beat intro, as it's pretty old (where I can't think of what it iz right now). Wow, you and your jointz; they have ALL GREAT starts wit these hooks! Great hook start to this shit!! I think that's K Flame on tha 1st verse, and I'm glad he "'bout that murder shit." He gettin' that cash, regardless. That was a real nice 1st verse! Wow, checkin' out tha hook again, and it's CRAZY wit all that consistant set of words on tha 2nd ½ of tha verse! Up, you're on tha 2nd verse… Yeah, now I can tell, easily. Sounds like you better, and just deliverin' that RAWNESS!! I like tha "bodies come out" part; that continues tha RAWNESS of this shit!! REAL NICE way you ended your verse wit tha "eatin' off a dirty plate" part; my God, you're FUCKIN' FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Earl on tha check-in at tha end; that's watz good. For some reason, when I saw his default pic on his Myspace, he doesn't sound tha way he looks (in my opinion). In fact, he's remindin' me of DJ Khaled wit tha high-leveled voice, and a lil' bit of Big Tigger, especially when he said, "man," at tha end of this shit. That brought back some Rap City: Tha Basement memories. It's all good though 'cause Earl hostin' a HOT-ASS mixtape right chea!! My Rating: 4.4
05. "Say What Up"
Maybe I might guess tha beat easily on this. Iz this T.I.'s "What Up, What's Haapnin'" beat? >>> Not T.I., but shit, it sounds like a Baton Rouge type of beat wit that whistlin'. I like your lil' talkin' intro; that shit was tight. This sounds original, and it looks like I'm FUCKIN' LOVIN' as soon as tha hook came in!! Great formula to start off wit tha hooks!! Damn, you sound like Young Ready on this shit, fa'real! This makes me REAL ANTICIPATED to hear more of this!! Yes, 2:21 left on this shit (since it's 3:23)!! I like tha "pyrex pot" and "arm & hammer" part. Damn, you rappin' CRAZY on this shit! I'm glad you "so addicted to tha scale." You ARE "sicker than you sound!" I'm glad your "swag ain't neva agin'" 'cause it seems like it payin' off on this shit! VERY, VERY GOOD 1st verse and GREAT 2nd verse!!! That FUCKIN' HOOK; MY GOD!!!! CRAZY!!!!!! I love tha "say 'what up, what up'!" part! Shit, only 2 verses? I like how Earl spelled your name out at tha end, and talked at tha end. This EASILY has to be tha best joint on here!! My Rating: 4.9
06. "Cell Phone Lightin' Up"
LOL @ that 3rd word, how it's spelled. "Lightening?" So, your "cell phone" iz thunderin' up? LOL, naw, I'm just playin'. It should be "lightin'" 'cause that's what it be doin', ESPECIALLY since you seem like you CRAZY in dem BR streetz, ya dig! I wonder what to expect here… >>> "Chicken and watermellon?" LOL @ tha "Shawty Say" beat? Good thing Lil' Wayne ain't on tha hook. Tha beat may throw me off, but, that hook, once again, iz on some tight shit! I'm GLAD you got that Baton Rouge voice in you on this shit, again! Great 1st verse, and I'm listenin' to tha 2nd verse right now… Yeah, you STILL deliverin' that fire!!! GREAT 2nd verse, and I love tha "kush, gotta get it by tha pound" part in tha hook! I'm glad your "cell phone lightin' up!" I started to like this better towards tha end, especially after hearin' tha hook a 3rd time! Good check-in Earl! Slab on his TIGHT shit wit his life!! My Rating: 4.1
½time: My God, and I criticize jacked beats SO much, especially if it's tha first joint!! Yung Slab, you have PROVEN that you can HANDLE jacked beats, EASILY!! You are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKIN' TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE tha next ½ of tha mixtape has that SAME, or BETTER, feel to it!!! Oh, and this tha "½time" now, lol.
07. "Misunderstood"
I'm predictin' Lil' Wayne's "Don'tgetit" beat, but then again, I like how most of tha beats you be rappin' on were up-tempo anthems… >>> What iz that "Chicken & Watermellon" shit? BTW, I got tha beat correct for tha 1st time on here, lol. I don't really like how it took 46 seconds to get into your verse… It's about time, now, to check out your verses on this shit! Sounds like some REAL shit on tha 1st verse! Not bad on tha 1st verse. This shit a lil' too slow, especially since tha hook iz only tha sample that Wayne used on this joint. Now, I'm hearin' tha 2nd verse… I'm glad you a "street nigga/rapper." And, I'm glad you, "neva focus on a quick vacation," when it comes to makin' it. That's good shit, especially when it comes to makin' quality music! No Earl at tha end? A lil' slow start to tha 2nd ½… My Rating: 3.8
08. "Pushin'"
I would hope it's tha C-Ride/Dre beat from 2007, but knowing my intentions, it's prolly gonna be tha Bun B one, and I'm not really into hearin' that one, again. Let's find out… >>> Damn, 2 correct beats guessed in a row. What's tha "chicken & watermellon" thing? Sorry if I said that like 3 times in a row. I have a feelin' I'll be lookin' forward to this… Tha beat sounds hot wit you rappin' on it. GREAT shit you rappin' on in tha 1st verse! Great 1st verse, but I loved when you did tha hooks, instead of havin' just a sample on it. Remember your hot formula on these tracks? I like tha "pissin' in a cup…" part. Tha shit you be rappin' about be tight, and keep on rappin' about it! I love all tha lines about kush and sellin' shit when it comes to rhymes a lot. LOL @ 2:55, where it just cut off. My Rating: 4.3
09. "My Appearance"
Looks like a good title, especially since it's focusing on just you. Let's see what kinda ideas you used here… >>> Good, unknown beat for me!! I KNEW this was gonna be FUCKIN' tight!! REAL NICE beat during tha hook, and great lyrics to make an anthem! I like tha "jiggaz" part in tha 1st verse, and I'm glad this 3:51 on tha length!! That's cool that your "pants hang off yo ass" 'cause you be doin' yo own thang, without worryin' what tha haterz think. What a GREAT 1st verse, and that hook iz just CRAZY!! Yes, tha 2nd verse… I'm SO FUCKIN' GLAD you be rockin' Coog, as you said, "da Coog make niggaz jealous." I only got 2 Coog shirts, but tha shit REAL tight lookin'. You just GOIN' FUCKIN' CRAZY ON THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT 2nd verse; OFF THA CHAIN!! Uh oh, Earl at 2:33… Iz he gonna talk for tha next 1:18? I like tha "Coog down" part; nice shit Earl, and I'm glad you promoted Slab wit his Myspace page! Now, at 3:08 around, it's just tha beat… I'm glad tha beat rode out! My Rating: 4.8
10. "My Life"
Good, another "My ___" type of title! Except wit this one, I can tell it's tha The Game/Lil' Wayne beat. I wonder how you do on it… >>> Boo, you kept tha Wayne hook… I don't like how I can barely hear you on this… I hear tha beat louder than you… Not good on tha quality, but tha verse was pretty nice, especially wit tha BR sounding. I like tha "my actions like I'm disabled" part (I prolly was only able to clearly hear it 'cause there was no beat on that part). I guess I liked tha 2nd verse better, but this needed to have better quality in it, especially in hearing you clearly on tha verses. Also, you need your own hook!! You be makin' dem CRAZY jointz wit those CRAZY hooks of yours! My Rating: 3.5
11. "Change"
Another personal song? >>> And a very old beat… 2nd time I heard someone use this "Lord You Know" beat from Cam'ron & Jaheim… Sounds like a pretty good start wit you on tha intro; I like when peeps (especially from Baton Rouge) say, "ya heard me!" Sounds like this was just a freestyle wit only 1 verse… Real nice rhymes throughout it though! My Rating: 3.9
12. "Freestyle"
I think when I was copying tha tracklisting onto a Notepad document on my computer, I noticed this title. This I think made me think there were jacked beats on here. It's all good though 'cause you pretty much MURDERED most of them wit your RAW-ASS rhymes!!! Let's see what mysterious beat you freestylin' off of… >>> Can't really go wit tha "Dey Know" beat for anticipation (due to JD Killa, from New Orleans, did his thang wit his own version called "N.O."). Once again, I like tha "pants hang low" part 'cause you doin' yo own thang. You soundin' GREAT on this shit! Too bad this only 2:00 long… That "niggaz faker than tha polos…" part sounded pretty good to hear; great shit you came up wit. I like tha "you know" part when it originally said, "dey know." You finally said, "get retarded," on this mixtape. I know it took a while, but I'm glad you at least mentioned it 'cause that's tha way you gotta get in Jigga City! My Rating: 4.3
13. "I Want U"
This tha last joint… Are we dedicating this to tha females? >>> Oh, so this "first quarter" shit iz mainly about your own version of how a football team iz losing to you and Earl; I agree. I don't know tha beat, but it sounds pretty nice. This sounds kinda low on tha volume, but I can luckily hear you. That was a NICE verse, and I like how you ended it wit "clean plates," just like one of tha other jointz you did, you ended it wit "dirty plates." I'm glad Earl been hostin' this shit 'cause he made a good voice for himself, you (Yung Slab), and tha streets! My Rating: 4.0
Overall: End Time: 12:18 PM. Well, because I was uncomfortable wit how I was sittin' while reviewin' this, it took me 1 hour and 12 minutes to do this. Plus, what a surprise, due to HOW FUCKIN' GOOD this mixtape was, I focused SOOOO much on writin' this review than playin' tha video game I was playin' 'cause I didn't even BEAT tha level I was on (not even one fuckin' level)!! That goes to show you what a great mixtape this was, and it sure was! Even though mostly jacked beats, except for those 2 that caught me off guard (that I loved), Yung Slab, you FUCKIN' did yo MA'FUCKIN' THANG on this shit!!! Now, this iz DEFINITELY street quality, and I HOPE, in tha future, that you DO hook up wit some street cats from BR (Young Ready, Nu$$ie, B-Raw, and tons others)!! Keep tryna get dat gwop/findin' them producers to get your own beats for tha future 'cause tha ratings'll prolly be better! I mean, damn, for 4.2-4.6 ratings on jacked beats, you're BOUND to get REAL GOOD ratings in tha future wit original beats! Keep doin' yo thang, and I REALLY HOPE you, anybody that fucks wit you, and Ya Boy Earl really like this review 'cause it was a pleasure doin' this shit, and listenin' to your HOT-ASS mixtape!!!

Keep tryna get dat gwop/findin' them producers to get your own beats for tha future 'cause tha ratings'll prolly be better! I mean, damn, for 4.2-4.6 ratings on jacked beats, you're BOUND to get REAL GOOD ratings in tha future wit original beats! Keep doin' yo thang, and I REALLY HOPE you, anybody that fucks wit you, and Ya Boy Earl really like this review 'cause it was a pleasure doin' this shit, and listenin' to your HOT-ASS mixtape!!!
