It’s ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog here… Damn, anotha review on Friday tha 13th (last Friday tha 13th, last month, I reviewed Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em’s wack album, “iSouljaBoyTellem”). I think this one gon be FIYAH though! I chose to do tha review for Meek Mill “Flamers 2: Hottest In Tha City” today ‘cause one year ago today, at 5:01 PM, Juice, who I was cool wit at my former college, Lackawanna College, gave me tha artist/title information for Joey Jihad & Meek Mill’s “Bossman” joint, which did OVERWHELMING wit me (26 weeks in rotation)!! It broke tha record for most times played on my computer (310 times), most times played on my iPod (303 times), most times played on one of my playlists (which last 3 weeks) (114 plays), and most played song EVA wit me in one year (613 times played)!!! that’s REALLY watz good, and I wanted to honor this day ‘cause tha song TOOK OFF wit me (I knew it was gonna be an addiction when I downloaded it)!!! Now, here goes more luv to Meek Mill as I review this new mixtape of his. Here’s my review for Meek Mill “Flamers 2: Hottest In Tha City”! Start Time: 9:01 PM | Video Game Playing: The Legend Of Zelda – A Link To The Past (for Super Nintendo)
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 3.13.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. Intro
This mixtape gon start off wit what? >>> It was real hard to hear what he was sayin’, but good look on tha dudes that were gettin’ him on tha phone; FREE MEEK MILL!!!!!!!!!! My Rating: N/A
02. “Shine’n”
You already know you be “shine’n” on this underground shit, ya heard me! I can’t even imagine how HARD you gon start this mixtape off!! >>> Yeah, this some HOT shit here! I LUV how you have a mix of dirty south beats on yo shit; tha shit sounds EXTREMELY HOT!!! Tha beat iz DEFINITELY great, and it’s off to a GREAT start!! Oh, T.I. came outta nowhere! It been a minute, but I remember you bein’ signed to Grand Hustle Records (since like September 2008 around, right?)! That voice of yours wit tha rhymes just iz CRAZY!!! Good “can’t wear skinny jeans ‘cause my glock won’t fit” part; HOT shit!!! Yeah, “I’m back! Watch tha whole hood chant for me!” I’m glad you repeated that line twice! My Rating: 4.4
03. “So Fly”
That you are! How good will this one be? I’m expectin’ just like “Shine’n”!! >>> Good beat/great vibe to this shit! I like tha “got ‘shawty’ on tha ‘low’ ‘cause I ‘get, get, get it!’” part (GREAT Shawty Lo punchline shit)!! Yeah, “hataz gotta smell your shit!” You just keep spittin’ this HOT-ASS shit!!! Tha hook iz a lil’ typical, and great, but when it’s you, tha hook iz DEFINITELY fa tha hood, and doesn’t matter ‘cause it’s automatically GREAT!! GREAT 1st verse BTW, and now, I’m on tha 2nd verse… You’re rappin’ wit a VERY fresh swag here! Even though you’re wit Grand Hustle, at least you didn’t bore yourself/force yourself to have a mainstream sound!! Your sound STILL has that HOT, UNDERGROUND sound!! It time fa tha 3rd verse here… I tell ya, I type faster tha faster you rap. GREAT “get her wide open like a door witta key” part; you tha fuckin’ shit, ya dig!!! One year exactly of knowin’ you, and you just KEEP goin’!!! My Rating: 4.5
04. “Ain’t I” Feat. Nitty
I have a feelin’ we gon switch ova to tha “Ain’t I” beat (‘cause of tha whole Grand Hustle thing)… I don’t know ‘cause you got a feature on here. Lemme see… >>> Yup, I was right (couldn’t’ve guessed wrong). You KNOW this gon be ANOTHA BANGA ‘cause of tha freestylin’!! WOW, your voice just DELIVERS that HOT SHIT fa tha hood!!! CRA-ZY!!! GREAT JOB on your part; you TORE IT UP!!! Nitty goin’ at it on tha 2nd part here… He DEFINITELY has that flow/style that’s just as good as you! GREAT drug line as he said “we be flippin’ like a light switch.” He DEFINITELY had that 2nd part ON LOCK!!! What a GREAT JOB here; CRAZY SHIT, but kinda short… My Rating: 4.4
05. “Hottest In Tha City”
You KNOW a part of tha mixtape title had to be in one of tha titles here. And you KNOW I’m anticipated for this shit right here ‘cause you ARE one of tha “hottest in tha city” of Philly, ya heard me! HOPE to hear some Joey Jihad on this mixtape as well!! >>> A lil’ Plies intro wit tha “got a question for tha streets: who hotter than me?” Nice lil’ sample used for tha “hottest in tha city” part; nice start here! Glad you “puffin’ on” some shit, ya dig. Still kept that RAW-ASS attitude throughout tha verse, doin’ tha damn thang, ya heard me!! Huh? Clean 2nd verse? Wait, no… It just keeps reversin’…? I think it has a message… I heard a lot of “niggaz” backwerdz, and I heard somethin’ wit “only reason” or somethin’? Nice idea for tha start of tha verse! DEFINITELY a nice job, again, on tha 2nd verse! TEARIN’ this shit up!! Good, a 3rd verse… “Give… raw like Dominicans.” Nice line there! Also, GLAD you got “purp by tha pound/crack by tha oz!” Very cold ending, but kept it G throughout tha whole joint, once again! My Rating: 4.3
06. “Speed Of Light” Feat. B.O.B.
What could you be cookin’ up wit tha B dude? And I like tha title as well! >>> Good, it’s a good length (3:49 on tha length). Sounds like a good, mainstream Rap intro on this shit… Soundin’ good wit that nice, true hook from B.O.B.! Good, you’re on tha 1st verse! A lil’ slower on tha verse here, but still sounds good. Good job on tha 1st verse, and sounds like 100%+ true fa tha hoods here! You’re also on tha 2nd verse here… Yeah, tha feds be doin’ too much shit to err-body! My brotha been in jail since December 6… They keepin’ him in there a lil’ too long… A great 2nd verse from you on this. Good, you have a 3rd verse too… Keepin’ in continuous wit tha topic of tha song and shit. What a GREAT ending to tha 3rd verse; we know God gon “read your rights.” My Rating: 4.3
07. “Flamers (Freestyle)”
Ooh, anotha freestyle! I wonder what beat I gon expect… How about… “My President”? I don’t know… >>> LOL @ it bein’ “Heartless”, and only 1:21 on tha length… It back to tha CRAZY flowin’ version of you! LOL @ tha “My President” part in here of what you said (what an odd, ironic guess of me guessin’ tha beat, and you wound up sayin’ tha beginning of tha hook)! GREAT, there’s an acapella at tha end, and it sounded SO PURE, PERFECT!!! My Rating: 4.4
08. “Prolli” Feat. Oschino
I like how tha title iz spelled, and Oschino collaboratin’ again; could be good, but hopefully, REAL great!! >>> Sounds like a good, interesting beat here. Anotha hook fa tha hood; you just can’t stop! Damn, I FUCKIN’ LUV your fast rappin’ on these tracks ‘cause you add them CRAZY lyrics to it and shit!!! GOOD JOB on tha 1st verse; wow, that hook!!! Nothin’ but INSANE shit here!!! Ooh, Oschino off to a REAL GREAT start to tha 2nd verse wit that “polo on his shirt!” I ENJOYED his verse to tha fullest; CRAZY shit here, again!!! Oh wow, GREAT START to tha 3rd verse as well!! Sounds like you just FUCKIN’ MURDERIN’ THIS SHIT!!! This shit would be SO GREAT listenin’ to playin’ gun games like 007 (even though I’m playin’ Zelda right now)! My Rating: 4.6
09. “Money Galore” Feat. K.Smith
This could be REAL good as well… Looks like a newbie on tha feature too! >>> Wow, terrible start I think… Looks like K.Smith a downer for me wit that auto-tone shit, even though it ain’t tha worst auto-toned shit I heard before… Tha lyrics in tha hook are better than typical auto-tone shit. You’re startin’ tha 1st verse off wit tha slowness again… Tha lyrics you spittin’ are STILL GREAT, and I like tha “Simon” part (wit “Simon Says”); GREAT 1st verse! Neva mind about tha hook havin’ good lyrics (forgot it had tha “make it rain” shit in it). It just sounds good wit tha title. Oh wait, K.Smith on tha 2nd verse? Then I guess that’s an unidentified artist on tha hook (thank God). He did his thang on his verse, as it sounded pretty good; you were a lot better though, Meek. He on tha 3rd verse too here… Ooh, GREAT “pounds of dro” part “wrapped up…” too! A better 3rd verse from him on this. SMH @ tha Chris Brown auto-toneish hook. My Rating: 3.7
10. “Goons Gone Wild” Feat. Ar-Ab
Looks familiar… Might’ve been a Juice profile song… >>> Prolly was… Good acapella intro (for tha first few seconds), and then, that HOT beat came in!! Sounds like some slowly-increasing HOTNESS bein’ spit here!! Tha hook came outta nowhere, and came wit that TIGHT shit! Ooh, “bird huntin’ like tha game on Nintendo.” HOLY SHIT, you CRAZY!!! I like tha “I don’t go to sleep; N.O…” part too (‘cause tha “N.O.” part reminds me of New Orleans (‘cause that’s what it iz abbreviated))! Finally, anotha verse comin’ here, and this time, from new dude Ar-Ab! He sounds like he got a hungry voice for this underground Rap shit! Great verse comin’ from him on this shit! Great “all tha drug dealers…” part from him too! Wow, tha verse iz STILL goin’, and it just ended. GREAT “gun’s so big” part at tha end. Too bad tha hook only came on once… My Rating: 4.5
11. “We Getting Money” Feat. Bump J & Gillie Da Kid
Was hoping Joey was featured, but I had a feelin’ Gillie was featured after I saw Bump on this bitch. Let’s hear how good this one’ll be (hope it’s better than tha otha “money” song)!! >>> Longest one on here so far (4:35 on tha length). Great intro of hoping you come home soon! A different kinda beat here… Let’s hear tha rhymes… You’re on tha hook, and tha “we getting money… YOU DIG” part sounds like it tha shit, and works GREAT fa tha hood, again! Yup, you’re on tha 1st verse too! Good “play wit birds” part on this; you been doin’ tha damn thang wit this shit! Great job on tha 1st verse right there, fa’sho! Let’s hear what Bump J got to say on tha 2nd verse… “Keep them birds flyin’ every hour, non-stop;” you know this dude be GRINDIN’ LIKE CRAZY!!! Wow, he doin’ such a GREAT job on this shit!! Just how he flowin’ on this shit sounds SO INFECTIOUS!!! REAL GREAT 2nd verse (best one outta this song so far)!! Tha final verse comin’ from Gillie… STRONG “glock hot smokin’” part, as Gillie doin’ his thang on this shit; you know he neva ages on tha rappin’! Anotha GREAT song here!! My Rating: 4.5
12. “Gettin’ It In” Feat. Peedi Crakk
Now, let’s see how good Peedi’ll be as a featured artist this time… >>> LOL @ tha “Rotate” beat; HOLY SHIT, I’M ANTICIPATED!!! Yes, tha FAST Meek Mill on your 1st verse!! REAL CRAZY/RAPID FIYAH RHYMES here!!! LOL @ tha auto-toned, T-Pain imitation you did here… JUST A CRAZY-ASS FREESTYLE HERE!!!! HOLY SHIT, CRAZY SHIT!!!!! EVERYTHING YOU’RE SAYIN’ IZ UNDENIABLE!!! Where’s tha title, lol? After 2:25, it’s time for Peedi… His rappin’ iz always pretty good for these kinda tracks, and he ain’t disappointin’ here. GREAT “lotta X, lotta O’s” part. He keeps doin’ his thang on this, and it just ended outta nowhere; EXTREMELY CONSISTENT HERE!!! My Rating: 4.7
13. “Posted Up”
Hopefully after tha “Rotate” beat freestyle that we can keep these HOT-ASS jointz comin’!!! Looks like a REALLY GREAT title that I wanna hear what’s goin’ on!!! >>> A lil’ short wit 2:33, and it sounds like a jacked beat song? I don’t think it iz, and that Bun B sample wit that HOT-ASS down south beat has it goin’ on here!! Wow, GREAT “jumpin’ like a hiccup” part!! Y’all know Meek Milly gon make ERR-BODY “jump like a hiccup,” ya heard me! That 1st verse was DEFINITELY on some nice shit! This sounds like your “On The Block (Remix)” song almost, even though that was even better! Oh, and another ironic thing as on tha 2nd verse, you start wit tha hook to “On The Block (Remix)”, lol! You takin’ tha thoughts outta my head, LMAO!! Tha 2nd verse had it goin’ on too, as it just kept DELIVERIN’ that HOT-ASS SHIT!! I like tha endin’ a WHOLE LOT wit tha “Taco Bell” part! My Rating: 4.7
½time: Well, EXTREMELY consistent here (maybe if you exclude tha auto-tone’d hook song)!!! You DEFINITELY be puttin’ in that HARD-ASS work wit these mixtapes, ya heard me!!! So far, it’s a 4.4 average rated mixtape CD, so KEEP UP THA GREAT WORK, and I HOPE tha rest of it continues!!! I’m gonna take a break right now, and talk to my rappin’ granny. >>> Well, we were on tha phone long (‘cause my mom was on tha phone wit her). Now, finally gettin’ back into this after about 45 minutes…
14. “So Many Girls”
How will this catch my attention (song quality wise)? >>> Pretty good start, but too poppy for a song that I’d wanna hear from you. Sounds like an odd T-Pain on tha hook. WAY TOO SLOW rappin’ style here… No comment on tha 1st verse. No comment on tha 2nd verse as well; too typical. Why tha fake T-Pain? Great beat, but this ain’t your type of song; sorry. My Rating: 3.0
15. “Trappin’ All Day” Feat. Gillie Da Kid
Now THIS iz more you!! Hope it turns out to be anotha BANGA, especially tha 1st one for tha 2nd ½!! >>> Sounds like DJ Drama type of beat, but sounds GREAT wit you on it!! GREAT “well connected like a server” line; still doin’ yo thang on this mixtape (of course)!! LOL @ tha “hi hater/bye hater/nah laters” part; good shit! You did yo thang, fa’sho, on tha 1st verse!! YEAH, that hook iz on some HOT SHIT!!! You givin’ tha hood tha BEST music!! Gillie goin’ on tha 2nd verse, and he seems like spittin’ some lastin’ rhymes. He had a good verse, even though I ain’t got much to say about it. You know I luv shit like this fa tha hood! Oh, there was a 3rd verse on this, but it only lasted under 10 seconds, lol? My Rating: 4.3
16. “Way Back”
We’re 16 jointz in, and no Joey so far… I remember on tha last “Flamers” that Joey came in, wit an ironic thought, at No. 16 as a feature wit dat “On The Block (Remix)”. I wonder how you gon handle a No. 16 joint by yourself?? >>> Boo @ only 1:49 on tha length! Sounds like a GREAT beat (Young Jeezy style)! It didn’t even take a second for you to spit, and to spit that HOT SHIT!!! Mild-speed rappin’ here, and it sounds GREAT wit dat beat!! Yeah, “where you come from, it’s a blessin’ to be 16,” ‘cause it’s REAL hood in Philly, ya heard me (and LOL @ tha “16” part since this iz No. 16; tha 3rd ironic thing on this CD as a thought, LMFAO!!)! Wow, at around 1:20, it got REALLY CRAZY wit tha rhymes, and tha lifestyles of Meek Mill, ya dig!!! WOW, tha “page without a Myspace part;” CRAZY!!! EXTREMELY HOT freestyle!! My Rating: 4.7
17. “36-24-36 Bad Body” Feat. K.Smith & 5PM
Tha title looks better than tha No. 14 joint on here… I HOPE you came wit a good, hood formula for this song. >>> Bad start… I wanted to give this a chance, but now, I feelin’ upset… Sounded like Yung Berg in tha beginning (like wit “Sexy Can I”)? Tha hook a lil’ boring? Hearin’ tha 1st verse from K… Not really into his verse, as it sounds like it goes for tha track, but for a Meek Mill song? HELL NO! Now, it sounded like Bobby Valentino background vocals in tha hook… Here comes you on tha 2nd verse… You still have that GREAT flow… Ewe, what’s tha snappin’ in tha beat? Those beats were SO 2005/2006; not 2009!! Can’t say really anything about your verse. Tha lil’ bridge part from K.Smith was ehhh… Wat iz this doin’ on a mixtape??? It doesn’t go hard at all… My Rating: 2.2
18. “Gettin’ To The Money” Feat. Omelly & Oschino
Wasn’t there a title on here wit tha same name almost?? *Checks* No. 11 had almost tha same title. I don’t know about these multiple song titles… I mean, I know this’ll be hot (hopefully), but I’ll just let tha song play. >>> Wow, you came outta NOWHERE wit tha RAPID-FIRE!!!!! Ova tha Rocko “Tomorrow” beat, this should be some good shit! Great job wit your GREAT verse!! Let’s hear what we got for tha 2nd verse… Sounds like I’m anticipated for it ‘cause I’m dyin’ to hear what tha dude gotta say for some reason! Yeah, tha dude doin’ his thang on this! All tha shit he be spittin’ on this iz great! Great rhymes right there! Huh, tha beat ended at 2:36? A beat change here… Yeah, you’re back on tha next verse!! A mo gutta attitude here from you, since you want “Jay-Z for breakfast, and Weezy fa dinner!” This tha “DON’T FUCK WIT ME!!” version of Meek Milly!! Doin’ yo thang on this shit, fa’real!! GREAT SHIT, and great combination of verses and beat switching!! My Rating: 4.4
19. “The Future”
What will “tha future” show you for 2009 and after? Well, if you keep tha hood buzzin’ wit these HOT-ASS mixtapes, you KNOW you gon have a GREAT future!! I hope tha Grand Hustle thing continues to go your way!! >>> That beat again, and 1:57 on tha length, unfortunately. Sounded tha same as tha 2nd part of tha last joint, only I heard somethin’ about “keys like a custodian,” which sounded REAL HOT!! Ooh, tha “Cali bud same color as string bean” part was tha SHIT!! This sounds HOTTER than tha last joint/what was combined and shit!! I still think this was tha last part of tha “Gettin’ To The Money” joint though, only it sounded hotter. My Rating: 4.5
20. “Do My Thang” Feat. Oschino
Speakin’ of Juice, this title right here was a joint he made me discover last year (it was Lil’ Wayne & Juelz Santana “Do My Thang”), so I have anticipation for this!! >>> Sounds like it gon go hard… Sounds like you got tha RIGHT attitude on tha hook! Ooh, Oschino came outta NOWHERE on tha 1st verse!! It got even BETTA at around 1:22 wit tha CRAZY, FASTNESS!!! He goin’ NUTS on this shit, and makin’ me wanna keep those HIGH ratings and shit!! REAL GREAT verse from Oschino on this shit!! Let’s see if you gon be on tha 2nd verse… Sounds like it… yup, you are! Tha verse iz GREAT, and tha whole “purple by tha pound shit?” GREAT!! And tha “pussy so wet” part ended tha verse in a GREAT way! You ALWAYS come through wit closin’ out your verses!! Looks like Oschino was TOO GREAT, so he had to continue, as he has tha 3rd verse!! Oh wait, as he “did his thang” (lol), you came in after him, and now are continuing ‘til tha song ends! Oh wait, now, at 4:12, to close it, Oschino’s back… Well, GREAT combo of tha 3rd verse right there, and I REALLY LIKE how tha mixin’ of tha title (how “thang” repeated) ended it! My Rating: 4.5
21. “Brush ‘Em Off” Feat. Oschino
More Oschino fo my ears; that’s watz good! Or should I say, “More Oschino + Meek Milly fo my ears; that’s watz good!!” >>> A lil’ short on tha length… What beat iz this? Iz it “Who Gives A Fuck Where You From”? I think it iz, but for freestylin’, do you have to have tha auto-tone? C’mon… CRAZY SHIT still be spittin’ (especially tha “white/KKK” part)!!! REAL GREAT verse, although tha auto-tone weakened my rating. Let’s hear Oschino now… No auto-tone! Shit, at 1:31, he used it! Tha rhymin’ and flowin’ here iz consistent, and sounds REAL GREAT!! GREAT job on tha rhymes, but minus tha auto-tone next time ‘cause y’all don’t need to be in that mess!! My Rating: 4.2
22. “Big Freestyle”
Uh oh, a BIG freestyle!! How will this follow up tha previous one? >>> A lil’ longer (2:31 on tha length)… More like only around a touch ova 2 minutes… Sounds like a real old Dipset beat here… Tha flowin’ iz pretty slow, but tha rhymes are still keepin’ it great! GREAT “veteran” line, and good rhymin’ here. Not too big for me, but still great to hear (of course). Tha “gettin’ money like a ma’fucka” was Weezyish, so good thing for tha lil’ Weezy part. My Rating: 4.0
23. “I’m Back” Feat. Oschino
Well really, you ain’t gone nowhere; you STILL doin’ yo fuckin’ thang on this shit, ya heard me! >>> Not bad start… Tha “how ya like me now?” part in tha hook sounds pretty good! Tha 1st verse sounded good, even though not much of feedback comin’ outta me… Oschino’s on tha 2nd verse, and I seem to be in such a GREAT mood to review/hear his verse!! Startin’ to like his voice better on these jointz, and I’m glad you got him on many of your jointz! A better verse than you on this… My Rating: 4.0
24. “In My Bag (Autotune Remix)”
I accidently peaked, and saw that this was on here. I thought it was good to put this song on here, but what’s this Autotune shit? Not auto-tone, right? Please no… >>> Well, it’s only 1:30… Oh, it iz. Sounds like a freestyle… WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR OWN SONG?!? I do HOPE you get “a mill by 25.” This wasn’t called for except for 1:23-1:30 (tha last 7 seconds) wit tha “cocaine” part and tha “Rosa Parks” part. Good rhymes, but don’t do this to your own song, especially wit no hook!! My Rating: 2.4
25. “Can’t Let You Go” Feat. 5PM
This iz featuring you? Then, who’s tha original artist? EDIT: I see on tha back cover now it’s 5PM. I don’t think I’ll be lookin’ forward to this one… >>> Oh no, 4:19 on tha length… Why iz Biggie auto-tuned? Let him R.I.P., and not touch that CURSED shit!!! Not my style of song, especially for you… I don’t think you should be featured on a soft song. Finally, you’re up again at 2:42… A better part on this song… Tha guy singin’ iz okay, but I don’t really like a song like this; it’s VERY boring! My Rating: 1.9
26. Jamie Fox (Outro)
That’s Jamie Foxx wit an extra “x”… Let’s hear how he gon end this… >>> So, this wasn’t Jamie Foxx (wit 2 x’s), it was someone else? Okay… Nice shout outs at tha end, but still, Joey Jihad should’ve been on this; what happened? My Rating: N/A
Overall: End Time: 11:54 PM. Well, it didn’t take me almost 3 hours; it took me a lil’ over 2. Anyway, well, this mixtape ended poorly, but had a WHOLE LOTTA BANGERZ on it!! REAL GREAT rhymes (as usual), and REAL GREAT flowin’!! You STILL doin’ yo thang, and keep that hood shit in you, ya know what I’m sayin’! Hope you get outta jail soon, and keep that music pumpin’, ESPECIALLY wit Joey!!!

That you are! How good will this one be? I’m expectin’ just like “Shine’n”!! >>> Good beat/great vibe to this shit! I like tha “got ‘shawty’ on tha ‘low’ ‘cause I ‘get, get, get it!’” part (GREAT Shawty Lo punchline shit)!! Yeah, “hataz gotta smell your shit!” You just keep spittin’ this HOT-ASS shit!!! Tha hook iz a lil’ typical, and great, but when it’s you, tha hook iz DEFINITELY fa tha hood, and doesn’t matter ‘cause it’s automatically GREAT!! GREAT 1st verse BTW, and now, I’m on tha 2nd verse… You’re rappin’ wit a VERY fresh swag here! Even though you’re wit Grand Hustle, at least you didn’t bore yourself/force yourself to have a mainstream sound!! Your sound STILL has that HOT, UNDERGROUND sound!! It time fa tha 3rd verse here… I tell ya, I type faster tha faster you rap. GREAT “get her wide open like a door witta key” part; you tha fuckin’ shit, ya dig!!! One year exactly of knowin’ you, and you just KEEP goin’!!! My Rating: 4.5
04. “Ain’t I” Feat. Nitty
I have a feelin’ we gon switch ova to tha “Ain’t I” beat (‘cause of tha whole Grand Hustle thing)… I don’t know ‘cause you got a feature on here. Lemme see… >>> Yup, I was right (couldn’t’ve guessed wrong). You KNOW this gon be ANOTHA BANGA ‘cause of tha freestylin’!! WOW, your voice just DELIVERS that HOT SHIT fa tha hood!!! CRA-ZY!!! GREAT JOB on your part; you TORE IT UP!!! Nitty goin’ at it on tha 2nd part here… He DEFINITELY has that flow/style that’s just as good as you! GREAT drug line as he said “we be flippin’ like a light switch.” He DEFINITELY had that 2nd part ON LOCK!!! What a GREAT JOB here; CRAZY SHIT, but kinda short… My Rating: 4.4
05. “Hottest In Tha City”
You KNOW a part of tha mixtape title had to be in one of tha titles here. And you KNOW I’m anticipated for this shit right here ‘cause you ARE one of tha “hottest in tha city” of Philly, ya heard me! HOPE to hear some Joey Jihad on this mixtape as well!! >>> A lil’ Plies intro wit tha “got a question for tha streets: who hotter than me?” Nice lil’ sample used for tha “hottest in tha city” part; nice start here! Glad you “puffin’ on” some shit, ya dig. Still kept that RAW-ASS attitude throughout tha verse, doin’ tha damn thang, ya heard me!! Huh? Clean 2nd verse? Wait, no… It just keeps reversin’…? I think it has a message… I heard a lot of “niggaz” backwerdz, and I heard somethin’ wit “only reason” or somethin’? Nice idea for tha start of tha verse! DEFINITELY a nice job, again, on tha 2nd verse! TEARIN’ this shit up!! Good, a 3rd verse… “Give… raw like Dominicans.” Nice line there! Also, GLAD you got “purp by tha pound/crack by tha oz!” Very cold ending, but kept it G throughout tha whole joint, once again! My Rating: 4.3
06. “Speed Of Light” Feat. B.O.B.
What could you be cookin’ up wit tha B dude? And I like tha title as well! >>> Good, it’s a good length (3:49 on tha length). Sounds like a good, mainstream Rap intro on this shit… Soundin’ good wit that nice, true hook from B.O.B.! Good, you’re on tha 1st verse! A lil’ slower on tha verse here, but still sounds good. Good job on tha 1st verse, and sounds like 100%+ true fa tha hoods here! You’re also on tha 2nd verse here… Yeah, tha feds be doin’ too much shit to err-body! My brotha been in jail since December 6… They keepin’ him in there a lil’ too long… A great 2nd verse from you on this. Good, you have a 3rd verse too… Keepin’ in continuous wit tha topic of tha song and shit. What a GREAT ending to tha 3rd verse; we know God gon “read your rights.” My Rating: 4.3
07. “Flamers (Freestyle)”
Ooh, anotha freestyle! I wonder what beat I gon expect… How about… “My President”? I don’t know… >>> LOL @ it bein’ “Heartless”, and only 1:21 on tha length… It back to tha CRAZY flowin’ version of you! LOL @ tha “My President” part in here of what you said (what an odd, ironic guess of me guessin’ tha beat, and you wound up sayin’ tha beginning of tha hook)! GREAT, there’s an acapella at tha end, and it sounded SO PURE, PERFECT!!! My Rating: 4.4
08. “Prolli” Feat. Oschino
I like how tha title iz spelled, and Oschino collaboratin’ again; could be good, but hopefully, REAL great!! >>> Sounds like a good, interesting beat here. Anotha hook fa tha hood; you just can’t stop! Damn, I FUCKIN’ LUV your fast rappin’ on these tracks ‘cause you add them CRAZY lyrics to it and shit!!! GOOD JOB on tha 1st verse; wow, that hook!!! Nothin’ but INSANE shit here!!! Ooh, Oschino off to a REAL GREAT start to tha 2nd verse wit that “polo on his shirt!” I ENJOYED his verse to tha fullest; CRAZY shit here, again!!! Oh wow, GREAT START to tha 3rd verse as well!! Sounds like you just FUCKIN’ MURDERIN’ THIS SHIT!!! This shit would be SO GREAT listenin’ to playin’ gun games like 007 (even though I’m playin’ Zelda right now)! My Rating: 4.6
09. “Money Galore” Feat. K.Smith
This could be REAL good as well… Looks like a newbie on tha feature too! >>> Wow, terrible start I think… Looks like K.Smith a downer for me wit that auto-tone shit, even though it ain’t tha worst auto-toned shit I heard before… Tha lyrics in tha hook are better than typical auto-tone shit. You’re startin’ tha 1st verse off wit tha slowness again… Tha lyrics you spittin’ are STILL GREAT, and I like tha “Simon” part (wit “Simon Says”); GREAT 1st verse! Neva mind about tha hook havin’ good lyrics (forgot it had tha “make it rain” shit in it). It just sounds good wit tha title. Oh wait, K.Smith on tha 2nd verse? Then I guess that’s an unidentified artist on tha hook (thank God). He did his thang on his verse, as it sounded pretty good; you were a lot better though, Meek. He on tha 3rd verse too here… Ooh, GREAT “pounds of dro” part “wrapped up…” too! A better 3rd verse from him on this. SMH @ tha Chris Brown auto-toneish hook. My Rating: 3.7
10. “Goons Gone Wild” Feat. Ar-Ab
Looks familiar… Might’ve been a Juice profile song… >>> Prolly was… Good acapella intro (for tha first few seconds), and then, that HOT beat came in!! Sounds like some slowly-increasing HOTNESS bein’ spit here!! Tha hook came outta nowhere, and came wit that TIGHT shit! Ooh, “bird huntin’ like tha game on Nintendo.” HOLY SHIT, you CRAZY!!! I like tha “I don’t go to sleep; N.O…” part too (‘cause tha “N.O.” part reminds me of New Orleans (‘cause that’s what it iz abbreviated))! Finally, anotha verse comin’ here, and this time, from new dude Ar-Ab! He sounds like he got a hungry voice for this underground Rap shit! Great verse comin’ from him on this shit! Great “all tha drug dealers…” part from him too! Wow, tha verse iz STILL goin’, and it just ended. GREAT “gun’s so big” part at tha end. Too bad tha hook only came on once… My Rating: 4.5
11. “We Getting Money” Feat. Bump J & Gillie Da Kid
Was hoping Joey was featured, but I had a feelin’ Gillie was featured after I saw Bump on this bitch. Let’s hear how good this one’ll be (hope it’s better than tha otha “money” song)!! >>> Longest one on here so far (4:35 on tha length). Great intro of hoping you come home soon! A different kinda beat here… Let’s hear tha rhymes… You’re on tha hook, and tha “we getting money… YOU DIG” part sounds like it tha shit, and works GREAT fa tha hood, again! Yup, you’re on tha 1st verse too! Good “play wit birds” part on this; you been doin’ tha damn thang wit this shit! Great job on tha 1st verse right there, fa’sho! Let’s hear what Bump J got to say on tha 2nd verse… “Keep them birds flyin’ every hour, non-stop;” you know this dude be GRINDIN’ LIKE CRAZY!!! Wow, he doin’ such a GREAT job on this shit!! Just how he flowin’ on this shit sounds SO INFECTIOUS!!! REAL GREAT 2nd verse (best one outta this song so far)!! Tha final verse comin’ from Gillie… STRONG “glock hot smokin’” part, as Gillie doin’ his thang on this shit; you know he neva ages on tha rappin’! Anotha GREAT song here!! My Rating: 4.5
12. “Gettin’ It In” Feat. Peedi Crakk
Now, let’s see how good Peedi’ll be as a featured artist this time… >>> LOL @ tha “Rotate” beat; HOLY SHIT, I’M ANTICIPATED!!! Yes, tha FAST Meek Mill on your 1st verse!! REAL CRAZY/RAPID FIYAH RHYMES here!!! LOL @ tha auto-toned, T-Pain imitation you did here… JUST A CRAZY-ASS FREESTYLE HERE!!!! HOLY SHIT, CRAZY SHIT!!!!! EVERYTHING YOU’RE SAYIN’ IZ UNDENIABLE!!! Where’s tha title, lol? After 2:25, it’s time for Peedi… His rappin’ iz always pretty good for these kinda tracks, and he ain’t disappointin’ here. GREAT “lotta X, lotta O’s” part. He keeps doin’ his thang on this, and it just ended outta nowhere; EXTREMELY CONSISTENT HERE!!! My Rating: 4.7
13. “Posted Up”
Hopefully after tha “Rotate” beat freestyle that we can keep these HOT-ASS jointz comin’!!! Looks like a REALLY GREAT title that I wanna hear what’s goin’ on!!! >>> A lil’ short wit 2:33, and it sounds like a jacked beat song? I don’t think it iz, and that Bun B sample wit that HOT-ASS down south beat has it goin’ on here!! Wow, GREAT “jumpin’ like a hiccup” part!! Y’all know Meek Milly gon make ERR-BODY “jump like a hiccup,” ya heard me! That 1st verse was DEFINITELY on some nice shit! This sounds like your “On The Block (Remix)” song almost, even though that was even better! Oh, and another ironic thing as on tha 2nd verse, you start wit tha hook to “On The Block (Remix)”, lol! You takin’ tha thoughts outta my head, LMAO!! Tha 2nd verse had it goin’ on too, as it just kept DELIVERIN’ that HOT-ASS SHIT!! I like tha endin’ a WHOLE LOT wit tha “Taco Bell” part! My Rating: 4.7
½time: Well, EXTREMELY consistent here (maybe if you exclude tha auto-tone’d hook song)!!! You DEFINITELY be puttin’ in that HARD-ASS work wit these mixtapes, ya heard me!!! So far, it’s a 4.4 average rated mixtape CD, so KEEP UP THA GREAT WORK, and I HOPE tha rest of it continues!!! I’m gonna take a break right now, and talk to my rappin’ granny. >>> Well, we were on tha phone long (‘cause my mom was on tha phone wit her). Now, finally gettin’ back into this after about 45 minutes…
14. “So Many Girls”
How will this catch my attention (song quality wise)? >>> Pretty good start, but too poppy for a song that I’d wanna hear from you. Sounds like an odd T-Pain on tha hook. WAY TOO SLOW rappin’ style here… No comment on tha 1st verse. No comment on tha 2nd verse as well; too typical. Why tha fake T-Pain? Great beat, but this ain’t your type of song; sorry. My Rating: 3.0
15. “Trappin’ All Day” Feat. Gillie Da Kid
Now THIS iz more you!! Hope it turns out to be anotha BANGA, especially tha 1st one for tha 2nd ½!! >>> Sounds like DJ Drama type of beat, but sounds GREAT wit you on it!! GREAT “well connected like a server” line; still doin’ yo thang on this mixtape (of course)!! LOL @ tha “hi hater/bye hater/nah laters” part; good shit! You did yo thang, fa’sho, on tha 1st verse!! YEAH, that hook iz on some HOT SHIT!!! You givin’ tha hood tha BEST music!! Gillie goin’ on tha 2nd verse, and he seems like spittin’ some lastin’ rhymes. He had a good verse, even though I ain’t got much to say about it. You know I luv shit like this fa tha hood! Oh, there was a 3rd verse on this, but it only lasted under 10 seconds, lol? My Rating: 4.3
16. “Way Back”
We’re 16 jointz in, and no Joey so far… I remember on tha last “Flamers” that Joey came in, wit an ironic thought, at No. 16 as a feature wit dat “On The Block (Remix)”. I wonder how you gon handle a No. 16 joint by yourself?? >>> Boo @ only 1:49 on tha length! Sounds like a GREAT beat (Young Jeezy style)! It didn’t even take a second for you to spit, and to spit that HOT SHIT!!! Mild-speed rappin’ here, and it sounds GREAT wit dat beat!! Yeah, “where you come from, it’s a blessin’ to be 16,” ‘cause it’s REAL hood in Philly, ya heard me (and LOL @ tha “16” part since this iz No. 16; tha 3rd ironic thing on this CD as a thought, LMFAO!!)! Wow, at around 1:20, it got REALLY CRAZY wit tha rhymes, and tha lifestyles of Meek Mill, ya dig!!! WOW, tha “page without a Myspace part;” CRAZY!!! EXTREMELY HOT freestyle!! My Rating: 4.7
17. “36-24-36 Bad Body” Feat. K.Smith & 5PM
Tha title looks better than tha No. 14 joint on here… I HOPE you came wit a good, hood formula for this song. >>> Bad start… I wanted to give this a chance, but now, I feelin’ upset… Sounded like Yung Berg in tha beginning (like wit “Sexy Can I”)? Tha hook a lil’ boring? Hearin’ tha 1st verse from K… Not really into his verse, as it sounds like it goes for tha track, but for a Meek Mill song? HELL NO! Now, it sounded like Bobby Valentino background vocals in tha hook… Here comes you on tha 2nd verse… You still have that GREAT flow… Ewe, what’s tha snappin’ in tha beat? Those beats were SO 2005/2006; not 2009!! Can’t say really anything about your verse. Tha lil’ bridge part from K.Smith was ehhh… Wat iz this doin’ on a mixtape??? It doesn’t go hard at all… My Rating: 2.2
18. “Gettin’ To The Money” Feat. Omelly & Oschino
Wasn’t there a title on here wit tha same name almost?? *Checks* No. 11 had almost tha same title. I don’t know about these multiple song titles… I mean, I know this’ll be hot (hopefully), but I’ll just let tha song play. >>> Wow, you came outta NOWHERE wit tha RAPID-FIRE!!!!! Ova tha Rocko “Tomorrow” beat, this should be some good shit! Great job wit your GREAT verse!! Let’s hear what we got for tha 2nd verse… Sounds like I’m anticipated for it ‘cause I’m dyin’ to hear what tha dude gotta say for some reason! Yeah, tha dude doin’ his thang on this! All tha shit he be spittin’ on this iz great! Great rhymes right there! Huh, tha beat ended at 2:36? A beat change here… Yeah, you’re back on tha next verse!! A mo gutta attitude here from you, since you want “Jay-Z for breakfast, and Weezy fa dinner!” This tha “DON’T FUCK WIT ME!!” version of Meek Milly!! Doin’ yo thang on this shit, fa’real!! GREAT SHIT, and great combination of verses and beat switching!! My Rating: 4.4
19. “The Future”
What will “tha future” show you for 2009 and after? Well, if you keep tha hood buzzin’ wit these HOT-ASS mixtapes, you KNOW you gon have a GREAT future!! I hope tha Grand Hustle thing continues to go your way!! >>> That beat again, and 1:57 on tha length, unfortunately. Sounded tha same as tha 2nd part of tha last joint, only I heard somethin’ about “keys like a custodian,” which sounded REAL HOT!! Ooh, tha “Cali bud same color as string bean” part was tha SHIT!! This sounds HOTTER than tha last joint/what was combined and shit!! I still think this was tha last part of tha “Gettin’ To The Money” joint though, only it sounded hotter. My Rating: 4.5
20. “Do My Thang” Feat. Oschino
Speakin’ of Juice, this title right here was a joint he made me discover last year (it was Lil’ Wayne & Juelz Santana “Do My Thang”), so I have anticipation for this!! >>> Sounds like it gon go hard… Sounds like you got tha RIGHT attitude on tha hook! Ooh, Oschino came outta NOWHERE on tha 1st verse!! It got even BETTA at around 1:22 wit tha CRAZY, FASTNESS!!! He goin’ NUTS on this shit, and makin’ me wanna keep those HIGH ratings and shit!! REAL GREAT verse from Oschino on this shit!! Let’s see if you gon be on tha 2nd verse… Sounds like it… yup, you are! Tha verse iz GREAT, and tha whole “purple by tha pound shit?” GREAT!! And tha “pussy so wet” part ended tha verse in a GREAT way! You ALWAYS come through wit closin’ out your verses!! Looks like Oschino was TOO GREAT, so he had to continue, as he has tha 3rd verse!! Oh wait, as he “did his thang” (lol), you came in after him, and now are continuing ‘til tha song ends! Oh wait, now, at 4:12, to close it, Oschino’s back… Well, GREAT combo of tha 3rd verse right there, and I REALLY LIKE how tha mixin’ of tha title (how “thang” repeated) ended it! My Rating: 4.5
21. “Brush ‘Em Off” Feat. Oschino
More Oschino fo my ears; that’s watz good! Or should I say, “More Oschino + Meek Milly fo my ears; that’s watz good!!” >>> A lil’ short on tha length… What beat iz this? Iz it “Who Gives A Fuck Where You From”? I think it iz, but for freestylin’, do you have to have tha auto-tone? C’mon… CRAZY SHIT still be spittin’ (especially tha “white/KKK” part)!!! REAL GREAT verse, although tha auto-tone weakened my rating. Let’s hear Oschino now… No auto-tone! Shit, at 1:31, he used it! Tha rhymin’ and flowin’ here iz consistent, and sounds REAL GREAT!! GREAT job on tha rhymes, but minus tha auto-tone next time ‘cause y’all don’t need to be in that mess!! My Rating: 4.2
22. “Big Freestyle”
Uh oh, a BIG freestyle!! How will this follow up tha previous one? >>> A lil’ longer (2:31 on tha length)… More like only around a touch ova 2 minutes… Sounds like a real old Dipset beat here… Tha flowin’ iz pretty slow, but tha rhymes are still keepin’ it great! GREAT “veteran” line, and good rhymin’ here. Not too big for me, but still great to hear (of course). Tha “gettin’ money like a ma’fucka” was Weezyish, so good thing for tha lil’ Weezy part. My Rating: 4.0
23. “I’m Back” Feat. Oschino
Well really, you ain’t gone nowhere; you STILL doin’ yo fuckin’ thang on this shit, ya heard me! >>> Not bad start… Tha “how ya like me now?” part in tha hook sounds pretty good! Tha 1st verse sounded good, even though not much of feedback comin’ outta me… Oschino’s on tha 2nd verse, and I seem to be in such a GREAT mood to review/hear his verse!! Startin’ to like his voice better on these jointz, and I’m glad you got him on many of your jointz! A better verse than you on this… My Rating: 4.0
24. “In My Bag (Autotune Remix)”
I accidently peaked, and saw that this was on here. I thought it was good to put this song on here, but what’s this Autotune shit? Not auto-tone, right? Please no… >>> Well, it’s only 1:30… Oh, it iz. Sounds like a freestyle… WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR OWN SONG?!? I do HOPE you get “a mill by 25.” This wasn’t called for except for 1:23-1:30 (tha last 7 seconds) wit tha “cocaine” part and tha “Rosa Parks” part. Good rhymes, but don’t do this to your own song, especially wit no hook!! My Rating: 2.4
25. “Can’t Let You Go” Feat. 5PM
This iz featuring you? Then, who’s tha original artist? EDIT: I see on tha back cover now it’s 5PM. I don’t think I’ll be lookin’ forward to this one… >>> Oh no, 4:19 on tha length… Why iz Biggie auto-tuned? Let him R.I.P., and not touch that CURSED shit!!! Not my style of song, especially for you… I don’t think you should be featured on a soft song. Finally, you’re up again at 2:42… A better part on this song… Tha guy singin’ iz okay, but I don’t really like a song like this; it’s VERY boring! My Rating: 1.9
26. Jamie Fox (Outro)
That’s Jamie Foxx wit an extra “x”… Let’s hear how he gon end this… >>> So, this wasn’t Jamie Foxx (wit 2 x’s), it was someone else? Okay… Nice shout outs at tha end, but still, Joey Jihad should’ve been on this; what happened? My Rating: N/A
Overall: End Time: 11:54 PM. Well, it didn’t take me almost 3 hours; it took me a lil’ over 2. Anyway, well, this mixtape ended poorly, but had a WHOLE LOTTA BANGERZ on it!! REAL GREAT rhymes (as usual), and REAL GREAT flowin’!! You STILL doin’ yo thang, and keep that hood shit in you, ya know what I’m sayin’! Hope you get outta jail soon, and keep that music pumpin’, ESPECIALLY wit Joey!!!
