FrankieThaLuckyDog's back here. 'Bout ta review a mixtape fa my boy Big Shane.
Although I have a weird anticipation level fa this mixtape, I'm gonna give Big
Shane a review 'cause I been cool wit him, and wanna give him some feedback on
some shit he be on. Here's my review fa DJ Cosinus "International
Grindtime V.2 (Hosted by Big Shane & Archie Eversole)"! Start
Time: 5:29 PM | End Time: 8:04 PM
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 5.31.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. DJ Cosinus, Big Shane & Archie Eversole "Intro"
Tha intro! Lookin' forward to hearin' Big Shane! >>> Tha 1st 27 seconds was Big Shane; thumbs up. Good lil' part from Big Shane. Archie sounded cool to hear after 7 years, lol! Anyway, be prepared for whateva I'm gonna say on this 'cause it gon be 100% me! My Rating: N/A
02. Big Shane "I Hold My Own"
Startin' it off wit a Big Shane joint! I hope his "Dope Boy Fresh" song iz on here (waitin' ta hear that one finally)! Let's see what he can squeeze in within 1 and 3/4's minutes! >>> Not bad on tha beat, yet I like all tha rappin'; nice rhymes. There was SO much shit he said on this shit that I liked. Just kept it consistent wit all tha rhymes, punchlines, and tha flow was nice! My Rating: 3.9
03. Ya Boy Feat. Rocko & Yo Gotti "Money Ain't A.... (Remix)"
Don't know of Ya Boy, although I saw him somewhere... Looks like this'll be a good one fa me. >>> Feelin' tha beat start here. Oh, I rememba tha "money ain't no muthafuckin' option" hook. So, this iz tha remix of tha Rocko joint from tha "Swag Season" mixtape. I thought it was cool to make a remix! Of course, Rocko holds it down, and Yo Gotti (plus his voice) iz just GREAT on tha hook; nice "bricks...pounds in tha closet" part in tha hook! This shit go hard still! Yo Gotti still doin' good wit dat 2nd verse; it's still tight from tha "Swag Season" mixtape! Nice verse from him; great collab. So, Ya Boy iz on tha 3rd verse here; lemme hear him... I like his flow. Should this be ID'd as Rocko Feat. Yo Gotti & Ya Boy instead of Ya Boy Feat. Rocko & Yo Gotti? 'Cause this was originally Rocko's song? I'll see later (if I notice any otha shit). For now, I'll leave it. My Rating: 4.3
04. J Money "Secret Agent"
Uh oh, an artist I don't like... It's said how it's not J-Money (wit a dash [from tha "Peanut Butter & Jelly" song]), but J Money instead (without a dash; 2 different rappers). But wait a minute, I heard this song (by DJ Scream's request, I reviewed him and J Money's terrible "Trapper Of Da Year" mixtape), and good thing you picked this one 'cause this was tha one I rated #1 on that CD! It was 1 of 2 songs of 18 that I luved on there, so good pick! Here's what I had to say: Okay, definitely likin' tha beat intro! PLEASE no more "first name, last name" shit! Okay good, an actual trap anthem. I like tha "work," "secret agent" and tha "007" parts in tha hook! Pretty nice 1st verse. Really likin' this beat and that hook! Nice 2nd verse too… I'm impressed! <- To add: I hear Gucci's voice at tha end. I'm expectin' a Gucci song next. My Current Rating: 4.3
05. Gucci Mane Feat. Busta Rhymes "Stoopid (Remix)"
A Music Choice Rap song... I don't really pay attention to "non-Louisiana artists" anymore, so this'll be a 1st listen fa me. >>> Oh, it says "remix;" then that's ID Error #1 'cause it ain't labeled as a "remix." Oh, okay, I remember hearin' tha title in tha hook now. I have to consider tha hook "jackin'" Louisiana's style. Unfortunately, that's a thumbs down, although Busta can be soundin' funny on tha 1st verse. I like his ending. Ugh, that hook... Now, Gucci's on tha 2nd verse here. Atlanta's anotha "jackin'" town like Dallas wit that "stealin' Louisiana shit." Short verse, and nothin' from me to say. Good beat on here, but not a song fa me. My Rating: 2.7
06. Archie Eversole "What Money Sounds Like"
That title looks (or should I say "sounds," lol) weird... This iz gonna be his comeback song fa me (since this iz tha 1st song I'm hearin' from him since "We Ready")... >>> Sounds like a good start. Interesting hook. Not bad on tha 1st verse too; sounds like a good, non-Louisiana song. Tha 2nd verse iz soundin' better. Tha "yeahhhhh"'s at random (mainly in tha hook) wit tha beat sound catchy fa this song. Sounds like a good comeback song, although I don't know about its exposure. Prolly good exposure in tha trap world. My Rating: 4.1
07. GS Boyz "Booty Dew"
Oh God... What's wit tha gay artist this time? Aren't they a "one hit wonder"? Do I really have to put up wit a WHOPPING 3:50 on tha length (yea, Soulja Boy Tell 'Em type artists make tha songs look longer)? >>> Sounds like tha beat iz stolen from "Get It Bitch"... Wow, gay hook!!! I almost wanna skip this, but I won't 'cause I wanna see how much I'm gonna decrease my rating!! UH OH: At 1:00, tha dude on tha 1st verse said, "I can jigg too;" NO, NO, NO!!! THAT'S A NO NO!!! *Automatically no higher than a 1.9 rating!!* Gay first verse like guys suckin' each others' dicks! Oh my, at 1:53, no less as what I said before, they even said, "get it bitch!," like that other song! NO, THA "JIGG" PART AGAIN AT 2:18!! C'mon now... There's even snappin' in tha beat too, smh! That was so 2005/2006!! Again, "jiggin'" came in tha 3rd verse too; what do ya gotta have "jigg" in every verse fa? WTF?!? Then again, this'll NEVA be a song I'll play/listen to, etc. My Rating: 1.0
08. Big Shane "Turn My Swag On (Flow)"
Yea, a better person, and a better beat! Lemme judge Big Shane's flow now! >>> I hear Auto-Tune; double gayness back 2 back?! Wow, not for me!! C'mon, can tha last 1:01 come any slower?? Good "puttin' tracks ta bed" part. Make sure you don't use tha voice shit again! My Rating: 1.5
09. Young Problemz Feat. Gucci Mane & Mike Jones "Boi (I Got So Many)"
Wit Mike Jones on it, hopefully that doesn't influence them all to have this sound like they "got so many boiz," LOL!! >>> Huh? Anotha gay fuckin' type of song? Once again, this beat iz based off of "A Milli"; that song was SO last year!! No need for an "A Milli" vs. "A Milli" track!! I grew up a lil' since this "A Milli". Oh God, Mike Jones iz on tha 2nd verse... (yea, I couldn't say anything about tha 1st verse due to lots of attraction). Still tha "big belly," Jones? No comment on his voice, but it wasn't annoying at least. A 3rd verse here, and it's typical mainstream bullshit fa me. Gucci came in tha 2nd 1/2 of tha 3rd verse, and ain't soundin' bad at least. Annoying song overall; don't need anymore of those "A Milli" beats. "Diva" was good enough fa a "A Milli" vs. "A Milli" type of beat! My Rating: 1.7
10. Gucci Mane Feat. Plies "Wasted"
Ooh, I like titles that have "wasted" in 'em (thanx to Cam Farrar's 2004 "Wasted (The Overdrive)", a GREAT undaground Dance track. Also, thanx to a "Wasted" title from Cinephile (2002), I like Trip-Hop music). I have a feelin' this joint won't be that bad... >>> I don't know what to say so far... Nothin' really to say about tha 1st verse. LOL @ how Plies came in on tha 2nd verse; always luv his flow at times! What's wit tha clean verse? I liked his verse. Let's see... anotha Gucci verse... Not bad. My Rating: 3.5
11. Big Shane "Cocaine Music"
I like that title... Whoa, 4:20 on tha length! Ooh, I hope he got his act together wit tha voice shit, and iz doin' his thang on this! Iz this a flow over tha Rick Ross song of tha same name wit tha "music" in it? >>> Neva mind, new song; I liked his intro before tha song came on. I don't really like tha beat, but I'm gonna pay attention to tha rhymes and lyrics here. Likin' tha rhymes here, and hearin' tha stories about what he's been doin' through life. I don't really feel that hook much 'cause it's just a female sample, although later on, it got better fa me. Tha 2nd verse iz soundin' interesting from him here. He was "at 15 years old, a bad azz;" nothin' much ta say about that, but I don't (for some reason) understand why many people in tha world go through troubles in their teenage times. Fa me, it was only ta make friends; that was a trouble fa me, and looks like it'll be a lifetime one. I really don't know how people easily, and typically, make friends... It's so hard I feel like! Anyway, it sounds like tha 3rd verse iz on point too. Not much ta say, but thanx fa anotha joint. My Rating: 3.8
12. Derty Den Feat. Gorilla Zoe "Fly Shit"
A new artist (fa me) wit tha gorilla... >>> Sounds like a sample in tha hook; really likin' tha beat here. Zoe's up 1st, creatin' rhymes that create "Asthma attacks," lol. Not bad on his verse; nothin' else ta say... Tha Derty Den person on tha 2nd verse ain't that bad; tolerable... Better verse from him than Zoe. My Rating: 3.6
13. Juney Boomdata "You Get It"
Neva heard of him... >>> Sounds like a Louisiana song? That's what its beat reminds me of... LOL @ tha "son of a bitch" part; who says that in a rap? It just seemed random 'cause it's like everyday talk. This dude sounds cool; likin' tha 1st verse here. Good 2nd verse too on this. Feelin' this shit as it's a better song than a bunch of tha shit on here. My Rating: 4.0
14. Big Shane Feat. Lil' Cali & Lil' Boosie "Dope Boy Fresh"
Tha song iz here, and I HOPE it sounds REAL good!! I gotta go take a shit real quick so afta that, I'll see all tha buzz about this song!! >>> Good start, "Wipe Me Down"ish wit tha hook a lil'. Big Shane on tha 1st verse, and soundin' good wit tha rappin' style! Great 1st verse from dat boy Big Shane! I would've neva been able to picture what this song would've sounded like; glad I'm hearin' it! I wonder what tha otherz have to offer! Cali's on tha 2nd verse here (Big Shane, how'd you actually hook up wit Cali & Boosie?)... Of course, nothin' but a GREAT flow wit tha rhymes and lyrics; CRAZY!! I like how tha title was said right after Cali's verse! Huh? That's not Boosie on tha 3rd verse; WTF? At least it's Shane, but I don't get it wit tha Boosie on tha ID 'cause it didn't sound like him on tha hook. I like tha "wheezing" part; you know I have Asthma (which that part reminded me of one of tha previous songs on here). Good song, and I felt tha 3rd verse too. Now, I can hear how it's Boosie on tha hook. Still, I thought I was gettin' a Boosie verse... My Rating: 4.3
½time: Looks like I have mixed feelings... Some songs were complete trash, some were okay, very few were real good fa me to luv (best one currently iz that "Dope Boy Fresh"). I hope there's better... I mean, fa a good mixtape, there should be some 4.6+ ratings! Only 4.3 iz tha highest so far (yet, 3 songs have that rating on here). I don't know what tha rest gon lead off to... Average CD rating currently iz 3.3.
15. Archie Eversole "How You Like Me Now"
He's back again on here; let's see watz good! >>> So, this iz tha "new single" unlike tha otha song? I don't know about tha start... Only a decent start; nice bass. Not much to say about tha 1st verse... Tha 2nd verse wit tha "skippin' school" part ain't really smart, but it seems like he really 'bout gettin' money... Uh oh, went right into a T-Pain song sample (from that gay "Buy U A Drank" song from that GAY 2007 year)... My Rating: 3.6
16. Rob B Gutta "Let's Talk Money"
Consistent topic, yet a scary sample (heard it in tha last song at tha end). Neva heard of this dude, so we'll see what's up... >>> This dude sounds like he's got like $100,000+? Sounds too mainstream wit all tha "Weezy money, 50 Cent money" type shit. I liked some of tha otha songs on here better. This sounds like it wants to be too much in tha mainstream. That sample has to go... My Rating: 3.0
17. Jae E "Lay By My Banana"
Looks scary, and it's 4:00 long! >>> Neva mind, forgot that tha "banana" had to do wit tha gat. I like that it was a "Shoulder Lean" sample (BETTA sample from a BETTA year!). Tha 1st verse sounds like tha dude on here sounds like he in tha hood all tha time, tryna do his thang all day, err-day. Nice voice, and ooh, "fresh from New Orleans;" Louisiana shit! Tight shit here, and nice beat too! Good 2nd verse so far wit tha "fall back like you ain't got a spine" part; this dude's got a good Rap voice. I like tha 3rd verse start (did he say, "niggaitous?"). Good shit. My Rating: 3.9
18. Jibbs Feat. Lil' Boosie & Kool Kid Kat "J-Walk"
That looks like an error 'cause ain't it Boosie? But, I don't know if I'm gonna anticipate this "Chain Hang Low"ness... >>> Ooh, Jibbs mentioned "Bowser" in his 1st verse; props. I saw Bowser today on Long Island, LOL! Sounded like his style went harder... Yea, I hear Boosie in tha background (how can you spell his name wrong when he so big?? ID Error #2: It's Lil' Boosie, not Lil' Bossie!) I thought tha hook was nice, and tha 2nd verse iz here from Boosie, soundin' nice. I think that hook iz catchy wit tha repeatin' of tha hook. This iz a thumbs up from me. Huh? A verse wit only like 16 seconds left? A lot goin' on here at tha end, but this was a thumbs up. My Rating: 4.2
19. Big Shane "F U Pay Me"
Yea, anotha Big Shane joint! Tha title can't go wrong, but tha length can (only 1:49?)... Should be NICE within tha short amount of time! >>> LOL @ tha sample goin' wit tha beat. Tha length must go wit Shane's typical 1 verse shit. Kinda short, but you still did a nice job. My Rating: 3.5
20. Supastaar Feat. Yung Joc "Head & Shoulders"
If that's tha "She's Fine (Halle Berry)" person on tha ID, then it looks like their name iz spelled wrong ('cause I think it's one word: Supastaar). I'll check after this, but I don't think I'll be able to tolerate this... >>> Gay start, and a somewhat bad hook fa me. I can't say tha hook iz funny 'cause really, there's like nothin' funny in Hip-Hop anymore. Tha jokes are too bad. Yup, this iz tha "She's Fine" dude ('cause he said "screamin' 'Halle Berry'..."), and said more of that at 1:07. Can't really say anything about tha 1st verse. Oh yea, ID Error #3: It's Supastaar, not Super Staar. Yung Joc's verse was bad; somewhat gay fa me. Sounds like a huge build-up in tha next song; will it be good? My Rating: 2.1
21. S. Fresh Feat. Lil' Boosie "Ask Dem Hoes (Remix)"
Yup, good, yet you don't have tha Boosie error this time! It's more like Music Choice has tha error 'cause Music Choice Hip-Hop And R&B plays this. They don't have it listed as a "remix", so it looks right on here. Neva got to get this song into rotation wit me, but it's a good Louisiana song! Now, fa tha review! >>> That intro beat sounded real good, and tha beat iz still soundin' good too! I like tha "well known like tha dopeman phone numba" (which reminds me of Alfamega & Gucci Mane's 2004 "Dopeman Phone #" joint that was REAL HOT) part in tha hook. S. Fresh did his thang on tha 1st verse; liked it. Tha hook iz catchy, and not tha boring, typical "hoes" type. Ooh, Boosie's so attractive to tha hood and err-body that there's like "funerals outside" (as he said)! Great Boosie verse (once again)! Now, tha 3rd verse from S. Fresh! I like tha "Ocean Drive" part ('cause it's a Dance/House artist, as well as a part of one of tha Dance/House titles as well out now). Great short 3rd verse, and catchy song! I should consider this real soon! Good check-in from Big Shane at tha end too! My Current Rating: 4.4
22. Big Shane Feat. Settaman "Maybach Music"
Now, he has that Rick Ross title, lol. I wonder what to expect this time... >>> Shit, gay-ass T-Pain on tha hook!! His hooks ain't SERIOUS!! I think this tha Rick Ross beat too, so that's a thumbs down. Tha 1st verse from Big Shane was not bad this time 'round. Good thing you didn't put T-Pain in tha ID, lol! I can't really say anything special about that Settaman dude on tha 2nd verse... Tha beat and hook killed it for me though. My Rating: 2.4
23. Archie Eversole Feat. Ray Lavender "Keep Winning"
Hope Ray makes this a good song... Tha title iz good, so Archie betta do good too. >>> Decent beat, yet a pretty good hook that I can take from Ray. Tha 1st verse was not bad. Tha 2nd verse did a nice job fa a song like this too... Ray's bridge kinda wasn't fa me (wit tha way he sung it wit tha lyrics he sung about). My Rating: 3.4
24. Fat Pimp "Fresh (80's Baby)"
Only know this dude from "I'm Getting Money" (song from Greg Street and a few others). Looks like it could be a good song, so lemme find out! >>> Tha hook sounds like I can luv it (wow, I said, "luv," on this mixtape!)! I don't like tha Jay-Z flow part at :52. Tha song continued to be tight; luv tha "fresh" lyrics! My Rating: 4.3
25. Big Shane "Grindin'"
Anotha small length song from him (1:36). It looks like a great title, so I hope for a great song this time! >>> Wow, couldn't really judge tha beat start when tha last song was ending, but when he raps on this, his flow makes it sound interesting. Ooh, like tha "dollar sign in my brains" part and tha part wit you "havin' dreads" too. Tha rappin' iz DEFINITELY good on this shit, ya dig! Great shit, Shane! My Rating: 4.1
26. Busta Rhymes Feat. T-Pain, OJ Da Juiceman & Gucci Mane "Hustlers Anthem (Remix)"
Well, this original version came out not too long ago, and I didn't even get to hear it. I'm sure tha trap rappers will do good wit this one, but I think T-Pain might hurt it fa me... >>> Wow, what a cheesy T-Pain hook!! I luv when people say "dawg," but T-Pain didn't need to say it, fa real! OJ on tha 1st verse here... Everybody gives him a thumbs down, but I can tolerate him. Sounds like whateva he's sayin' iz so much random shit non-stop, lol. Good, tha 2nd verse was shortened! Gucci here on tha 2nd verse! Sounds good for a flow. Although slightly less random than OJ's verse, he still spittin' shit like so much shit comin' from left field! Still, T-Pain got me on this one. My Rating: 3.1
27. Hopsin "Pans In The Kitchen"
Great title, but triple 2 on tha length (2:22). Neva heard of him, so let's see how good we got it here! >>> Sounds like non-stop rappin' wit a buildin'-up beat. Catchy hook, although I don't know how special this iz for me... Tha 2nd verse started good wit tha "used ta push weight on tha block" part. "Bacon and farts?" LOL @ tha "smellin'," LOL! Not bad fa a song, although fa a drug title, I expected better. My Rating: 3.5
28. DJ Cosinus, Big Shane & Archie Eversole "Outro"
I thought that last song was a bad way ta end it fa tha songs... Now, let's hear what we got fa tha outro... >>> Yea, I "put my ear to tha 'International Grindtime'," right now. I like tha (I think) DJ Cosinus in tha beginning. Like his ending to his part, and Big Shane had a nice lil' check-in on this outro too. My Rating: N/A
Overall: Not bad, yet somewhat decent. Borderline of below average, but some songs I was really feelin'. I didn't get those trashy songs, yet tha T-Pain type shit should've been excluded. A bunch of tha songs from like Gucci and them could've been better. I'm glad there were a buku amount of Big Shane shit on here (which was what I was wantin'). Well, Big Shane, I hope you at least appreciate this review 'cause one thing I really appreciate iz you willin' to work wit me on shit. I like how you came up to me (after seein' my R.I.P. Nu$$ie video) and was like, "We gotta do business. Let's do some work, dawg." I appreciated that, and I'm glad I got your cell numba. Also, here's a list of people (since you wanted me to do this) from Louisiana that I'm feelin'/cool wit:

^ I can't believe my #1 song on here; wouldn't've pictured that. If that was on a Baton Rouge mixtape, I would prolly have 10 songs higher than that... Even J Money bein' #4 on this iz odd too.
01. DJ Cosinus, Big Shane & Archie Eversole "Intro"
Tha intro! Lookin' forward to hearin' Big Shane! >>> Tha 1st 27 seconds was Big Shane; thumbs up. Good lil' part from Big Shane. Archie sounded cool to hear after 7 years, lol! Anyway, be prepared for whateva I'm gonna say on this 'cause it gon be 100% me! My Rating: N/A
02. Big Shane "I Hold My Own"
Startin' it off wit a Big Shane joint! I hope his "Dope Boy Fresh" song iz on here (waitin' ta hear that one finally)! Let's see what he can squeeze in within 1 and 3/4's minutes! >>> Not bad on tha beat, yet I like all tha rappin'; nice rhymes. There was SO much shit he said on this shit that I liked. Just kept it consistent wit all tha rhymes, punchlines, and tha flow was nice! My Rating: 3.9
03. Ya Boy Feat. Rocko & Yo Gotti "Money Ain't A.... (Remix)"
Don't know of Ya Boy, although I saw him somewhere... Looks like this'll be a good one fa me. >>> Feelin' tha beat start here. Oh, I rememba tha "money ain't no muthafuckin' option" hook. So, this iz tha remix of tha Rocko joint from tha "Swag Season" mixtape. I thought it was cool to make a remix! Of course, Rocko holds it down, and Yo Gotti (plus his voice) iz just GREAT on tha hook; nice "bricks...pounds in tha closet" part in tha hook! This shit go hard still! Yo Gotti still doin' good wit dat 2nd verse; it's still tight from tha "Swag Season" mixtape! Nice verse from him; great collab. So, Ya Boy iz on tha 3rd verse here; lemme hear him... I like his flow. Should this be ID'd as Rocko Feat. Yo Gotti & Ya Boy instead of Ya Boy Feat. Rocko & Yo Gotti? 'Cause this was originally Rocko's song? I'll see later (if I notice any otha shit). For now, I'll leave it. My Rating: 4.3
04. J Money "Secret Agent"
Uh oh, an artist I don't like... It's said how it's not J-Money (wit a dash [from tha "Peanut Butter & Jelly" song]), but J Money instead (without a dash; 2 different rappers). But wait a minute, I heard this song (by DJ Scream's request, I reviewed him and J Money's terrible "Trapper Of Da Year" mixtape), and good thing you picked this one 'cause this was tha one I rated #1 on that CD! It was 1 of 2 songs of 18 that I luved on there, so good pick! Here's what I had to say: Okay, definitely likin' tha beat intro! PLEASE no more "first name, last name" shit! Okay good, an actual trap anthem. I like tha "work," "secret agent" and tha "007" parts in tha hook! Pretty nice 1st verse. Really likin' this beat and that hook! Nice 2nd verse too… I'm impressed! <- To add: I hear Gucci's voice at tha end. I'm expectin' a Gucci song next. My Current Rating: 4.3
05. Gucci Mane Feat. Busta Rhymes "Stoopid (Remix)"
A Music Choice Rap song... I don't really pay attention to "non-Louisiana artists" anymore, so this'll be a 1st listen fa me. >>> Oh, it says "remix;" then that's ID Error #1 'cause it ain't labeled as a "remix." Oh, okay, I remember hearin' tha title in tha hook now. I have to consider tha hook "jackin'" Louisiana's style. Unfortunately, that's a thumbs down, although Busta can be soundin' funny on tha 1st verse. I like his ending. Ugh, that hook... Now, Gucci's on tha 2nd verse here. Atlanta's anotha "jackin'" town like Dallas wit that "stealin' Louisiana shit." Short verse, and nothin' from me to say. Good beat on here, but not a song fa me. My Rating: 2.7
06. Archie Eversole "What Money Sounds Like"
That title looks (or should I say "sounds," lol) weird... This iz gonna be his comeback song fa me (since this iz tha 1st song I'm hearin' from him since "We Ready")... >>> Sounds like a good start. Interesting hook. Not bad on tha 1st verse too; sounds like a good, non-Louisiana song. Tha 2nd verse iz soundin' better. Tha "yeahhhhh"'s at random (mainly in tha hook) wit tha beat sound catchy fa this song. Sounds like a good comeback song, although I don't know about its exposure. Prolly good exposure in tha trap world. My Rating: 4.1
07. GS Boyz "Booty Dew"
Oh God... What's wit tha gay artist this time? Aren't they a "one hit wonder"? Do I really have to put up wit a WHOPPING 3:50 on tha length (yea, Soulja Boy Tell 'Em type artists make tha songs look longer)? >>> Sounds like tha beat iz stolen from "Get It Bitch"... Wow, gay hook!!! I almost wanna skip this, but I won't 'cause I wanna see how much I'm gonna decrease my rating!! UH OH: At 1:00, tha dude on tha 1st verse said, "I can jigg too;" NO, NO, NO!!! THAT'S A NO NO!!! *Automatically no higher than a 1.9 rating!!* Gay first verse like guys suckin' each others' dicks! Oh my, at 1:53, no less as what I said before, they even said, "get it bitch!," like that other song! NO, THA "JIGG" PART AGAIN AT 2:18!! C'mon now... There's even snappin' in tha beat too, smh! That was so 2005/2006!! Again, "jiggin'" came in tha 3rd verse too; what do ya gotta have "jigg" in every verse fa? WTF?!? Then again, this'll NEVA be a song I'll play/listen to, etc. My Rating: 1.0
08. Big Shane "Turn My Swag On (Flow)"
Yea, a better person, and a better beat! Lemme judge Big Shane's flow now! >>> I hear Auto-Tune; double gayness back 2 back?! Wow, not for me!! C'mon, can tha last 1:01 come any slower?? Good "puttin' tracks ta bed" part. Make sure you don't use tha voice shit again! My Rating: 1.5
09. Young Problemz Feat. Gucci Mane & Mike Jones "Boi (I Got So Many)"
Wit Mike Jones on it, hopefully that doesn't influence them all to have this sound like they "got so many boiz," LOL!! >>> Huh? Anotha gay fuckin' type of song? Once again, this beat iz based off of "A Milli"; that song was SO last year!! No need for an "A Milli" vs. "A Milli" track!! I grew up a lil' since this "A Milli". Oh God, Mike Jones iz on tha 2nd verse... (yea, I couldn't say anything about tha 1st verse due to lots of attraction). Still tha "big belly," Jones? No comment on his voice, but it wasn't annoying at least. A 3rd verse here, and it's typical mainstream bullshit fa me. Gucci came in tha 2nd 1/2 of tha 3rd verse, and ain't soundin' bad at least. Annoying song overall; don't need anymore of those "A Milli" beats. "Diva" was good enough fa a "A Milli" vs. "A Milli" type of beat! My Rating: 1.7
10. Gucci Mane Feat. Plies "Wasted"
Ooh, I like titles that have "wasted" in 'em (thanx to Cam Farrar's 2004 "Wasted (The Overdrive)", a GREAT undaground Dance track. Also, thanx to a "Wasted" title from Cinephile (2002), I like Trip-Hop music). I have a feelin' this joint won't be that bad... >>> I don't know what to say so far... Nothin' really to say about tha 1st verse. LOL @ how Plies came in on tha 2nd verse; always luv his flow at times! What's wit tha clean verse? I liked his verse. Let's see... anotha Gucci verse... Not bad. My Rating: 3.5
11. Big Shane "Cocaine Music"
I like that title... Whoa, 4:20 on tha length! Ooh, I hope he got his act together wit tha voice shit, and iz doin' his thang on this! Iz this a flow over tha Rick Ross song of tha same name wit tha "music" in it? >>> Neva mind, new song; I liked his intro before tha song came on. I don't really like tha beat, but I'm gonna pay attention to tha rhymes and lyrics here. Likin' tha rhymes here, and hearin' tha stories about what he's been doin' through life. I don't really feel that hook much 'cause it's just a female sample, although later on, it got better fa me. Tha 2nd verse iz soundin' interesting from him here. He was "at 15 years old, a bad azz;" nothin' much ta say about that, but I don't (for some reason) understand why many people in tha world go through troubles in their teenage times. Fa me, it was only ta make friends; that was a trouble fa me, and looks like it'll be a lifetime one. I really don't know how people easily, and typically, make friends... It's so hard I feel like! Anyway, it sounds like tha 3rd verse iz on point too. Not much ta say, but thanx fa anotha joint. My Rating: 3.8
12. Derty Den Feat. Gorilla Zoe "Fly Shit"
A new artist (fa me) wit tha gorilla... >>> Sounds like a sample in tha hook; really likin' tha beat here. Zoe's up 1st, creatin' rhymes that create "Asthma attacks," lol. Not bad on his verse; nothin' else ta say... Tha Derty Den person on tha 2nd verse ain't that bad; tolerable... Better verse from him than Zoe. My Rating: 3.6
13. Juney Boomdata "You Get It"
Neva heard of him... >>> Sounds like a Louisiana song? That's what its beat reminds me of... LOL @ tha "son of a bitch" part; who says that in a rap? It just seemed random 'cause it's like everyday talk. This dude sounds cool; likin' tha 1st verse here. Good 2nd verse too on this. Feelin' this shit as it's a better song than a bunch of tha shit on here. My Rating: 4.0
14. Big Shane Feat. Lil' Cali & Lil' Boosie "Dope Boy Fresh"
Tha song iz here, and I HOPE it sounds REAL good!! I gotta go take a shit real quick so afta that, I'll see all tha buzz about this song!! >>> Good start, "Wipe Me Down"ish wit tha hook a lil'. Big Shane on tha 1st verse, and soundin' good wit tha rappin' style! Great 1st verse from dat boy Big Shane! I would've neva been able to picture what this song would've sounded like; glad I'm hearin' it! I wonder what tha otherz have to offer! Cali's on tha 2nd verse here (Big Shane, how'd you actually hook up wit Cali & Boosie?)... Of course, nothin' but a GREAT flow wit tha rhymes and lyrics; CRAZY!! I like how tha title was said right after Cali's verse! Huh? That's not Boosie on tha 3rd verse; WTF? At least it's Shane, but I don't get it wit tha Boosie on tha ID 'cause it didn't sound like him on tha hook. I like tha "wheezing" part; you know I have Asthma (which that part reminded me of one of tha previous songs on here). Good song, and I felt tha 3rd verse too. Now, I can hear how it's Boosie on tha hook. Still, I thought I was gettin' a Boosie verse... My Rating: 4.3
½time: Looks like I have mixed feelings... Some songs were complete trash, some were okay, very few were real good fa me to luv (best one currently iz that "Dope Boy Fresh"). I hope there's better... I mean, fa a good mixtape, there should be some 4.6+ ratings! Only 4.3 iz tha highest so far (yet, 3 songs have that rating on here). I don't know what tha rest gon lead off to... Average CD rating currently iz 3.3.
15. Archie Eversole "How You Like Me Now"
He's back again on here; let's see watz good! >>> So, this iz tha "new single" unlike tha otha song? I don't know about tha start... Only a decent start; nice bass. Not much to say about tha 1st verse... Tha 2nd verse wit tha "skippin' school" part ain't really smart, but it seems like he really 'bout gettin' money... Uh oh, went right into a T-Pain song sample (from that gay "Buy U A Drank" song from that GAY 2007 year)... My Rating: 3.6
16. Rob B Gutta "Let's Talk Money"
Consistent topic, yet a scary sample (heard it in tha last song at tha end). Neva heard of this dude, so we'll see what's up... >>> This dude sounds like he's got like $100,000+? Sounds too mainstream wit all tha "Weezy money, 50 Cent money" type shit. I liked some of tha otha songs on here better. This sounds like it wants to be too much in tha mainstream. That sample has to go... My Rating: 3.0
17. Jae E "Lay By My Banana"
Looks scary, and it's 4:00 long! >>> Neva mind, forgot that tha "banana" had to do wit tha gat. I like that it was a "Shoulder Lean" sample (BETTA sample from a BETTA year!). Tha 1st verse sounds like tha dude on here sounds like he in tha hood all tha time, tryna do his thang all day, err-day. Nice voice, and ooh, "fresh from New Orleans;" Louisiana shit! Tight shit here, and nice beat too! Good 2nd verse so far wit tha "fall back like you ain't got a spine" part; this dude's got a good Rap voice. I like tha 3rd verse start (did he say, "niggaitous?"). Good shit. My Rating: 3.9
18. Jibbs Feat. Lil' Boosie & Kool Kid Kat "J-Walk"
That looks like an error 'cause ain't it Boosie? But, I don't know if I'm gonna anticipate this "Chain Hang Low"ness... >>> Ooh, Jibbs mentioned "Bowser" in his 1st verse; props. I saw Bowser today on Long Island, LOL! Sounded like his style went harder... Yea, I hear Boosie in tha background (how can you spell his name wrong when he so big?? ID Error #2: It's Lil' Boosie, not Lil' Bossie!) I thought tha hook was nice, and tha 2nd verse iz here from Boosie, soundin' nice. I think that hook iz catchy wit tha repeatin' of tha hook. This iz a thumbs up from me. Huh? A verse wit only like 16 seconds left? A lot goin' on here at tha end, but this was a thumbs up. My Rating: 4.2
19. Big Shane "F U Pay Me"
Yea, anotha Big Shane joint! Tha title can't go wrong, but tha length can (only 1:49?)... Should be NICE within tha short amount of time! >>> LOL @ tha sample goin' wit tha beat. Tha length must go wit Shane's typical 1 verse shit. Kinda short, but you still did a nice job. My Rating: 3.5
20. Supastaar Feat. Yung Joc "Head & Shoulders"
If that's tha "She's Fine (Halle Berry)" person on tha ID, then it looks like their name iz spelled wrong ('cause I think it's one word: Supastaar). I'll check after this, but I don't think I'll be able to tolerate this... >>> Gay start, and a somewhat bad hook fa me. I can't say tha hook iz funny 'cause really, there's like nothin' funny in Hip-Hop anymore. Tha jokes are too bad. Yup, this iz tha "She's Fine" dude ('cause he said "screamin' 'Halle Berry'..."), and said more of that at 1:07. Can't really say anything about tha 1st verse. Oh yea, ID Error #3: It's Supastaar, not Super Staar. Yung Joc's verse was bad; somewhat gay fa me. Sounds like a huge build-up in tha next song; will it be good? My Rating: 2.1
21. S. Fresh Feat. Lil' Boosie "Ask Dem Hoes (Remix)"
Yup, good, yet you don't have tha Boosie error this time! It's more like Music Choice has tha error 'cause Music Choice Hip-Hop And R&B plays this. They don't have it listed as a "remix", so it looks right on here. Neva got to get this song into rotation wit me, but it's a good Louisiana song! Now, fa tha review! >>> That intro beat sounded real good, and tha beat iz still soundin' good too! I like tha "well known like tha dopeman phone numba" (which reminds me of Alfamega & Gucci Mane's 2004 "Dopeman Phone #" joint that was REAL HOT) part in tha hook. S. Fresh did his thang on tha 1st verse; liked it. Tha hook iz catchy, and not tha boring, typical "hoes" type. Ooh, Boosie's so attractive to tha hood and err-body that there's like "funerals outside" (as he said)! Great Boosie verse (once again)! Now, tha 3rd verse from S. Fresh! I like tha "Ocean Drive" part ('cause it's a Dance/House artist, as well as a part of one of tha Dance/House titles as well out now). Great short 3rd verse, and catchy song! I should consider this real soon! Good check-in from Big Shane at tha end too! My Current Rating: 4.4
22. Big Shane Feat. Settaman "Maybach Music"
Now, he has that Rick Ross title, lol. I wonder what to expect this time... >>> Shit, gay-ass T-Pain on tha hook!! His hooks ain't SERIOUS!! I think this tha Rick Ross beat too, so that's a thumbs down. Tha 1st verse from Big Shane was not bad this time 'round. Good thing you didn't put T-Pain in tha ID, lol! I can't really say anything special about that Settaman dude on tha 2nd verse... Tha beat and hook killed it for me though. My Rating: 2.4
23. Archie Eversole Feat. Ray Lavender "Keep Winning"
Hope Ray makes this a good song... Tha title iz good, so Archie betta do good too. >>> Decent beat, yet a pretty good hook that I can take from Ray. Tha 1st verse was not bad. Tha 2nd verse did a nice job fa a song like this too... Ray's bridge kinda wasn't fa me (wit tha way he sung it wit tha lyrics he sung about). My Rating: 3.4
24. Fat Pimp "Fresh (80's Baby)"
Only know this dude from "I'm Getting Money" (song from Greg Street and a few others). Looks like it could be a good song, so lemme find out! >>> Tha hook sounds like I can luv it (wow, I said, "luv," on this mixtape!)! I don't like tha Jay-Z flow part at :52. Tha song continued to be tight; luv tha "fresh" lyrics! My Rating: 4.3
25. Big Shane "Grindin'"
Anotha small length song from him (1:36). It looks like a great title, so I hope for a great song this time! >>> Wow, couldn't really judge tha beat start when tha last song was ending, but when he raps on this, his flow makes it sound interesting. Ooh, like tha "dollar sign in my brains" part and tha part wit you "havin' dreads" too. Tha rappin' iz DEFINITELY good on this shit, ya dig! Great shit, Shane! My Rating: 4.1
26. Busta Rhymes Feat. T-Pain, OJ Da Juiceman & Gucci Mane "Hustlers Anthem (Remix)"
Well, this original version came out not too long ago, and I didn't even get to hear it. I'm sure tha trap rappers will do good wit this one, but I think T-Pain might hurt it fa me... >>> Wow, what a cheesy T-Pain hook!! I luv when people say "dawg," but T-Pain didn't need to say it, fa real! OJ on tha 1st verse here... Everybody gives him a thumbs down, but I can tolerate him. Sounds like whateva he's sayin' iz so much random shit non-stop, lol. Good, tha 2nd verse was shortened! Gucci here on tha 2nd verse! Sounds good for a flow. Although slightly less random than OJ's verse, he still spittin' shit like so much shit comin' from left field! Still, T-Pain got me on this one. My Rating: 3.1
27. Hopsin "Pans In The Kitchen"
Great title, but triple 2 on tha length (2:22). Neva heard of him, so let's see how good we got it here! >>> Sounds like non-stop rappin' wit a buildin'-up beat. Catchy hook, although I don't know how special this iz for me... Tha 2nd verse started good wit tha "used ta push weight on tha block" part. "Bacon and farts?" LOL @ tha "smellin'," LOL! Not bad fa a song, although fa a drug title, I expected better. My Rating: 3.5
28. DJ Cosinus, Big Shane & Archie Eversole "Outro"
I thought that last song was a bad way ta end it fa tha songs... Now, let's hear what we got fa tha outro... >>> Yea, I "put my ear to tha 'International Grindtime'," right now. I like tha (I think) DJ Cosinus in tha beginning. Like his ending to his part, and Big Shane had a nice lil' check-in on this outro too. My Rating: N/A
Overall: Not bad, yet somewhat decent. Borderline of below average, but some songs I was really feelin'. I didn't get those trashy songs, yet tha T-Pain type shit should've been excluded. A bunch of tha songs from like Gucci and them could've been better. I'm glad there were a buku amount of Big Shane shit on here (which was what I was wantin'). Well, Big Shane, I hope you at least appreciate this review 'cause one thing I really appreciate iz you willin' to work wit me on shit. I like how you came up to me (after seein' my R.I.P. Nu$$ie video) and was like, "We gotta do business. Let's do some work, dawg." I appreciated that, and I'm glad I got your cell numba.
