FrankieThaLuckyDog in tha buildin' right chea, ya heard me! Tha next review I
finna do (thanx to tha Camp
Life representative
hookin' me up wit it) iz for my boy Lil' Issue, who I just recently
reviewed (on "6 Dayz No Sleep (The Mixtape)" wit Lil' Alex; dat CD
was a BANGA). Now, it's just him, and his mixtape, "We Got
Issues!" Really lookin' forward ta this one afta tha otha one, so here
goes my review for it! Start Time: 11:50 PM | End Time: 1:24 AM
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 8.18.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. Intro
Startin' off wit my boy Issue!! Let's see how you gon handle a WHOLE mixtape by yourself... >>> Like tha beat in tha background! Lookin' forward to this shit!! My Rating: N/A
02. "Hitts"
That's what YOU make!! No less, wit a DOUBLE "T" in tha title for 2x tha power, ya dig!! >>> Pretty good beat start here! Yea, I like that "drop hit afta hit afta hit..." in tha hook; VERY continuous, ESPECIALLY tha "retarded" shit in tha hook! Tha 1st verse here, and I'm REALLY feelin' this shit right here, my boy! Str8 gangsta shit (like you would say) "afta gangsta shit afta gangsta shit...," lol, right here!! Great shit in tha 2nd verse wit tha "I'm sick like lukemia" (sp?) line! You DEFINITELY goin' hard on this beat right here wit dat gutta shit! Great job here, especially wit that nice beat ending! My Rating: 4.5
03. "The Mudd" Feat. Kevin F
Yea, ya boy Kevin F on a track wit you again!! Anotha song I'm REALLY lookin' forward to that should be REAL TIGHT!!! >>> Great beat start here again! Tha beat sounds nearly equal in tha way I like it as tha last beat. Tha hook here iz just as good too! More great shit here for FrankieThaLuckyDog!! You here on tha 1st verse wit a nice, slow flow. Great shit on that 1st verse! It sounds like Kevin F on tha 2nd hook? Y'all make GREAT chemistry!! Yea, Kevin's on tha 2nd verse here, "up in that water," so this shit gon get REAL messy to where hataz can't handle it!! GREAT job on tha 2nd verse, and that hook just REAL NICE!! Back to you on tha 3rd verse, evadin' tha feds, so that's a plus! Definitely a nice 3rd verse right there! My Rating: 4.6
04. "Regular" Feat. Lil' Alex
Keepin' tha consistent ratings consistent, huh? I feel ya! Once again: No ID on tha featured singer this time? That beat in tha beginning was a slow piano, but tha beat gettin' grimy!! I KNEW by her lyrics that they weren't sad!! Sounds like tha synth in tha background samples tha "dunn-dunn-dunn-dunn" Bounce sound effect; feelin' it a WHOLE LOT!! Tha 1st verse here from Alex, flowin' REAL NICE on this beat! He just said what I just said: "flow sick;" agreed! Nice job on this shit right here, and I believe he's on tha 2nd verse too! Feelin' that 2nd verse, as it's that motivational type shit! Tha 3rd verse here from you, Issue (I think) "breakin' trees down;" MEGA thumbs up!! You did ya thang on tha 1st 1/2 of tha 3rd verse, and now, Alex on tha 2nd 1/2, doin' a REAL NICE job!! Only "16 years old?" He really that young? That's REALLY watz good if that true for this Rap shit!! Alex TORE THIS JOINT UP!!! My Current Rating: 4.6
05. "Catch Me"
Although I got a hard copy of just tha CD, I found tha back cover on your MySpace (and DatPiff too). I like tha alternatin' blue & white text on each title. Anyway, this should be a NICE joint as well!! >>> Sounds like anotha great beat intro; you got REAL nice production behind you!! Yea, what a REAL NICE hook here!! "You can catch me on Friday, smokin' on tha highwayyyy!!!" Talk about a REAL nice hook!! Tha 1st verse startin' off NICE wit tha smokin' shit! You doin' ya thang wit this shit righ there to tha fullest!! It felt like it took awhile, but tha 2nd verse iz here, and it still soundin' pretty good; you're nice & wasted! I like tha "rollin' up sum tropical" also; great smokin' shit that neva ends!! Yea, fuck tha sirens!! As long as you "gettin' loaded on tha highway," you got nothin' ta worry about. AS LONG AS YOU STAY ALERT 'cause most people that go to jail aren't 100% alert! My Rating: 4.6
06. "Fresher Than"
That title looked nearly familiar (mainly tha saying). That's 'cause I have an unreleased song that I 'pose ta be doin' wit a Baton Rouge supa producer/rapper from tha undaground (won't reveal yet), and in tha hook, I go, "Bitch, I'm fresher than a ma'fucka, fresher than a ma'fucka." I give it that NICE Baton Rouge feel wit tha repetitive 2nd 1/2 of tha hook, ya dig! Let's see how you do on yours! >>> Yea, still tha same lyrics, but NOT tha Baton Rouge style 'cause it's a Lil' Wayne sample from (I think) "Pop Bottles" or one of those Birdman song collaborations. Either way, DEFINITELY a catchy beat start, and I like tha Lil' Wayne sample. Yea, here you come outta nowhere on tha 1st verse, doin' tha damn thang, 'specially "remote controllin' tha girl!" Now, you're gettin' "wiped down by brillo pads" (sp?), which 2 reviews ago (for Big Flow outta tha 337), Big Flow was "wiped down by toilet paper," lol! Tha 2nd verse here, and Lil' Wayne ain't really "on tha hook;" it just a sample. That's why he's not in tha ID of bein' a featured artist, lol. Nice 2nd verse, although it sounded kinda short. Nice job on tha 3rd verse too; shit, it endin' too fast... My Rating: 4.4
07. "Drop Them" Feat. Lil' Alex & K.G.
Speakin' of samples, from K.G. bein' featured on tha "6 Dayz No Sleep" CD wit Lil' Alex on a Rich Boy sample track, I just heard tha Lil' Wayne sample track just a song ago. Now, we're here wit K.G. again! Let's see how you do EVEN wit Lil' Alex on this one! >>> BOO; this that same song, only a title change!! Although this title fits betta than "Bad Yella", I must say: It's a Rich Boy sample here, describin' a "bad yella bitch" here. Tha 1st verse here, and it Issue doin' a nice job here "lickin' it, stampin' it" when it comes ta what he wants. Pretty good 1st verse. Sounds like Alex 'bout ta go on tha 2nd verse... Not a plus before tha verse wit tha "excuse my language" part; no rules here! Pretty good verse, as I liked tha flow. Here comes that dude K.G. on tha 3rd verse... He real horny on this verse, so he should be gettin' his favor quickly; nice job on tha verse. My Current Rating: 3.8
08. "Sleeping On Me"
Who would be "sleepin' on you?" >>> What was tha "from tha hotel" intro? Nice beat here; sounds like sum Webbie-type beat! Tha hook iz pretty good too; gotta feel what you spittin'/flowin'! Pretty good rappin' here on tha 1st verse, explainin' what you're all about. More good rappin' on tha 2nd verse; consistent flow, although I don't have much ta say about it. This gon be a long 51 second outro? Shit, I didn't realize, but both verses and 3 hooks ended at about 3:27 into tha song. My Rating: 4.0
09. "That Thang"
Wonder exactly what we got here... >>> No Mod Production beats wit 9 songs in? Sounds like an anticipatin' beat intro... Catchy hook. Sounds like a featured person on it? Tha 1st verse right now, and you're soundin' a lil' Young Jeezyish wit your flow as you're just interested in tha shit you want wit your car and shit. Glad you ready ta "open up shop" on tha 2nd verse here, doin' tha damn thang for tha hood as well as "smokin' on dat purp." Good job on dat 2nd verse, fa real! My Rating: 3.9
½time: Still goin' strong, my boy!! Keep this consistent shit comin' for me 'cause I'm DEFINITELY feelin' ya shit!! Average CD rating currently this time iz... 4.3 FLAT AGAIN!! LOL @ tha EXTREMELY EQUAL consistentness from tha last ½time!!!
10. "Flyer Than"
LOL, ain't this like tha same title as #6? >>> Only 2:30 on tha length, and it's off to a good start, although tha "Fresher Than" song sounded betta. Good job on tha 1st verse, and I'm glad tha hook iz catchy too! Can sound like a repeat of #6, but at least this iz good!! It's betta ta have 2/2 than somethin' like 1/2! Tha 2nd verse still goin' through strong! I like it betta than tha 1st verse. LOL @ "fresh off tha tub;" I ain't used ta people sayin' "out tha tub" afta they're like 10, but at least you went from tha tub ta "smokin' on tha purple blunt!" My Rating: 4.1
11. "I'm Back"
You actually didn't go anywhere wit me 'cause I went from reviewin' a CD wit you on it to a CD wit you on it, lol. But yea, let's see your version of returnin' on this... >>> Soundin' good on tha beat start, again. No featured singer ID again on tha hook. I thought it was gon be aight, but she sounds nice! I like her repetitive "back--back--back--back" part. Pretty good 1st verse on this from you. Nice 2nd verse, as you showin' luv to tha relationship wit tha gurlz. Tha 3rd verse was short, but yea, you know your consistency and how consistent you are, so it's an automatic plus! My Rating: 3.9
12. "Weekend"
Looks like a title that'll go wit tha last song... >>> Not really any tightness in tha beat intro here; more Pop/R&Bish. I reviewed a song from RoyDezzy, and he had used this sample (prolly this beat too). It sounds better here (of course) 'cause RoyDezzy ain't that up-to-par as a rapper for me. Anyway, you're even cuddly wit tha female song here on tha 1st verse. Tha 2nd verse had a better flow, so good job. Still soundin' nice 'n' sweet for tha ladies on tha 3rd verse... My Rating: 3.6
13. "Money" Feat. Kevin F
Yea, Kevin F again!! Let's see tha POWER in this one!! >>> I hear "run it like an athlete;" not anotha repeat song I hope... Actually, it CAN'T be 'cause Kevin says "I'm 'bout my money, dawg" in tha hook. When I hear rappers say "dawg," you KNOW I luv it, so this a newbie for me; TIGHT hook! He even on tha 1st verse here, deliverin' that street shit! I like how he said "dawg" at 1:25 also! "Str8 out tha projects," so you KNOW he on his shit! DEFINITELY a nice 1st verse!! Feelin' tha 2nd verse from you a WHOLE lot; "on your job all tha time servin' fiends & dummies!" You KNOW I feel you when you loaded on that good shit! Only 2 verses? I kinda am a lil' hungry for more... I actually feel my stomach bound ta growl, lol!! My Rating: 4.6
14. "My Swagg" Feat. Bun B
How'd this collaboration come about? No offense, but when I see a big name feature, I automatically guarantee you won't write me back when I show you my 2 reviews I did for you. It happened wit Lil' Cali without me knowin' he was "undaground popular". Anyway, wit a WHOPPIN' 5:43 on tha length, let's see how that length pulled it off for a single! >>> Yea, "X-Fyle on tha track." However, not that tight for a start; sounds like an R&B song for an X-Fyle song? That beat doesn't make this song as cool as that LAST song that was much betta! Still, a good hook that keeps up wit your swag game. Also, too bad tha beat sounds like a repeatin' noise sound effect. I like tha "I need rabbit ears wit karots like this" part in tha 1st verse; pretty good 1st verse. Here comes Bun B on tha 2nd verse... Soundin' decent here; nothin' ta quote though, and this verse cost like $1,500+ I assume? Glad you started tha 3rd verse off wit "dawg." Decent verse, but still kept that swag. Please don't tell me it's 1:32 of a beat outro... YUCK!! Too long... It started fadin' out 59 seconds later! It even went all tha way to tha end wit NO silence! I guess tha "Single Edit" shortens that beat outro. My Rating: 3.5
15. "Me N U" Feat. Kevin F
Tha big dawg featured on this; please no "soft like ice cream" side! >>> Yes! Here's tha "TIGHT" in tha beat this time! Tha hook iz catchy here, as well as how tha flow iz on it! Here you are on tha 1st verse, doin' ya thang! This iz what an undaground single should sound like for you (beat, hook & flow wise)! Pretty good job on that 1st verse! Mr. Kevin on tha 2nd verse goin' hard! Too bad it was like 8 lines. Either way, it's tha greatness that counts more than tha quantity of it! Back ta you on tha 3rd verse here, doin' a nice job as you "got sum medicine." I heard "Kevin" right before tha 4th verse; he comin' back? Yea, a 4th verse, and he here!! I guess that's a plus for tha 8 bar verses! Still comin' through wit that STRONG flow & lyrics! Sounded like tha beat ended a lil' too cold/not fit as it sounded like it cut off. My Rating: 4.4
16. "All Nite" Feat. Rick Ross & Pleasure P
Anotha unexpected collab? It's ironic that Britney Spears iz on Music Choice Dance right now 'cause when this collaboration was gonna come on here, I was gonna say somethin' about Britney... It somehow "Britney Spear'd" on this CD just now? I hope this ain't too girly... >>> Anotha long length too (4:38) for a song like this. Kinda boring, but catchy hook. Pretty good 1st verse I guess; too bad I'm on a lack of sayin' shit. Rick Ross iz here on tha 2nd verse, soundin' like he in luv wit thangz. Tha 3rd verse here from you, and you do sound good still on this. I don't like how tha hook somewhat sounds longer than a typical hook. Not sure what ta rate this... My Rating: 3.4
17. "Like 'Em" Feat. Kevin F & Big Steve
Here comes Kevin & Big Steve again! Lookin' forward to them (especially since tha 1st time Big Steve's on this CD)! Mod Productions beat, please/finally!? >>> No, but a Trillville Feat. Cutty "Some Cut" type of beat. Shit, anotha gurl song back 2 back! Betta be REAL sexual!! At least tha "catch a nut" part adds that dirty attribute to tha hook. Let's see tha 1st verse... It's you, havin' sex "'til 6 in tha mo'nin'," so that's a good addition for you. Not much else in your verse; I think it was only like 8-12 bars... Tha 2nd verse here (I think Kevin)... This time, it decent. Tha 3rd hook here, and it's Big Steve on tha hook, so that's a plus. I think Big Steve on tha last verse here. Great sexual endin' at tha end wit tha "catch 9 or 10 nuts;" that's "nuts," lol!! My Rating: 3.6
18. "I Ain't Trippin'" Feat. Lil' Alex
Lookin' forward I hope... >>> I can't believe no Mod Productions yet. Hope tha endin' song iz wit him. Neva mind, it a previously heard song. Didn't see that it was my lowest rated on tha last CD. Either way, not a good look that it Girl Song #3 in a row. At least tha spellin' iz correct this time, lol (although on tha CD, there still iz)! Slow start, somewhat below REAL GOOD for me. Pretty good hook though at least. Here's tha 1st verse from Issue, and I know you wanna avoid "those problems escalatin'!" Not bad 1st verse right there. Let's see Alex on tha 2nd verse... I don't go for tha depressin' "I hurtin'" type vibes when it comes ta certain songs and shit. I don't like feelin' depressed and sorry durin' mixtapes. I liked tha 1st verse betta; an okay song. My Current Rating: 3.4
19. "Getting Loaded" Feat. Big Steve & Lil' Alex
Tha last song... *checks title wit somewhat fear* Looks like a repeat song... BUT, a NICE one!!! *Checks by rehearin'* >>> And even saved tha Mod Productions one for last!! Yup, tha original "Floatin'" song; great endin' song to this mixtape!! A lil' slower in tha beginning, but yea, REAL NICE weed-smokin' hook right here! Looks like tha beat's pace = tha weed smokin's after-effect pace. Tha 1st verse here from Alex, and it's soundin' good. Good job feelin' good at all times! I believe Alex iz on tha 2nd verse here, soundin' MUCH betta than tha 1st verse! Nice, fast rappin', and great rhymes too! Let's see how my dawg Issue gon sound on tha 3rd verse on this GREAT song... Yea, "you fucked up" too! "Smokin' on tha bleezy" (luv how y'all say "blunt" "bleezy"); that's watz good! Nice job endin' tha verse wit "you know I be...;" thumbs up to this WHOLE song, ESPECIALLY tha hook! My Current Rating: 4.6
Overall: Turned out to be pretty nice, overall. Although I don't think it has that 4.3 average CD rating by now, it still turned pretty good. Lil' Issue, you do a NICE job wit most of these jointz, so you keep your Baton Rouge name out there, ya heard me!

Great shit on that 1st verse! It sounds like Kevin F on tha 2nd hook? Y'all make GREAT chemistry!! Yea, Kevin's on tha 2nd verse here, "up in that water," so this shit gon get REAL messy to where hataz can't handle it!! GREAT job on tha 2nd verse, and that hook just REAL NICE!! Back to you on tha 3rd verse, evadin' tha feds, so that's a plus! Definitely a nice 3rd verse right there! My Rating: 4.6
04. "Regular" Feat. Lil' Alex
Keepin' tha consistent ratings consistent, huh? I feel ya! Once again: No ID on tha featured singer this time? That beat in tha beginning was a slow piano, but tha beat gettin' grimy!! I KNEW by her lyrics that they weren't sad!! Sounds like tha synth in tha background samples tha "dunn-dunn-dunn-dunn" Bounce sound effect; feelin' it a WHOLE LOT!! Tha 1st verse here from Alex, flowin' REAL NICE on this beat! He just said what I just said: "flow sick;" agreed! Nice job on this shit right here, and I believe he's on tha 2nd verse too! Feelin' that 2nd verse, as it's that motivational type shit! Tha 3rd verse here from you, Issue (I think) "breakin' trees down;" MEGA thumbs up!! You did ya thang on tha 1st 1/2 of tha 3rd verse, and now, Alex on tha 2nd 1/2, doin' a REAL NICE job!! Only "16 years old?" He really that young? That's REALLY watz good if that true for this Rap shit!! Alex TORE THIS JOINT UP!!! My Current Rating: 4.6
05. "Catch Me"
Although I got a hard copy of just tha CD, I found tha back cover on your MySpace (and DatPiff too). I like tha alternatin' blue & white text on each title. Anyway, this should be a NICE joint as well!! >>> Sounds like anotha great beat intro; you got REAL nice production behind you!! Yea, what a REAL NICE hook here!! "You can catch me on Friday, smokin' on tha highwayyyy!!!" Talk about a REAL nice hook!! Tha 1st verse startin' off NICE wit tha smokin' shit!

AS LONG AS YOU STAY ALERT 'cause most people that go to jail aren't 100% alert! My Rating: 4.6
06. "Fresher Than"
That title looked nearly familiar (mainly tha saying). That's 'cause I have an unreleased song that I 'pose ta be doin' wit a Baton Rouge supa producer/rapper from tha undaground (won't reveal yet), and in tha hook, I go, "Bitch, I'm fresher than a ma'fucka, fresher than a ma'fucka." I give it that NICE Baton Rouge feel wit tha repetitive 2nd 1/2 of tha hook, ya dig! Let's see how you do on yours! >>> Yea, still tha same lyrics, but NOT tha Baton Rouge style 'cause it's a Lil' Wayne sample from (I think) "Pop Bottles" or one of those Birdman song collaborations. Either way, DEFINITELY a catchy beat start, and I like tha Lil' Wayne sample. Yea, here you come outta nowhere on tha 1st verse, doin' tha damn thang, 'specially "remote controllin' tha girl!" Now, you're gettin' "wiped down by brillo pads" (sp?), which 2 reviews ago (for Big Flow outta tha 337), Big Flow was "wiped down by toilet paper," lol! Tha 2nd verse here, and Lil' Wayne ain't really "on tha hook;" it just a sample. That's why he's not in tha ID of bein' a featured artist, lol. Nice 2nd verse, although it sounded kinda short. Nice job on tha 3rd verse too; shit, it endin' too fast... My Rating: 4.4
07. "Drop Them" Feat. Lil' Alex & K.G.
Speakin' of samples, from K.G. bein' featured on tha "6 Dayz No Sleep" CD wit Lil' Alex on a Rich Boy sample track, I just heard tha Lil' Wayne sample track just a song ago. Now, we're here wit K.G. again! Let's see how you do EVEN wit Lil' Alex on this one! >>> BOO; this that same song, only a title change!! Although this title fits betta than "Bad Yella", I must say: It's a Rich Boy sample here, describin' a "bad yella bitch" here. Tha 1st verse here, and it Issue doin' a nice job here "lickin' it, stampin' it" when it comes ta what he wants. Pretty good 1st verse. Sounds like Alex 'bout ta go on tha 2nd verse... Not a plus before tha verse wit tha "excuse my language" part; no rules here! Pretty good verse, as I liked tha flow. Here comes that dude K.G. on tha 3rd verse... He real horny on this verse, so he should be gettin' his favor quickly; nice job on tha verse. My Current Rating: 3.8
08. "Sleeping On Me"
Who would be "sleepin' on you?" >>> What was tha "from tha hotel" intro? Nice beat here; sounds like sum Webbie-type beat! Tha hook iz pretty good too; gotta feel what you spittin'/flowin'! Pretty good rappin' here on tha 1st verse, explainin' what you're all about. More good rappin' on tha 2nd verse; consistent flow, although I don't have much ta say about it. This gon be a long 51 second outro? Shit, I didn't realize, but both verses and 3 hooks ended at about 3:27 into tha song. My Rating: 4.0
09. "That Thang"
Wonder exactly what we got here... >>> No Mod Production beats wit 9 songs in? Sounds like an anticipatin' beat intro... Catchy hook. Sounds like a featured person on it? Tha 1st verse right now, and you're soundin' a lil' Young Jeezyish wit your flow as you're just interested in tha shit you want wit your car and shit. Glad you ready ta "open up shop" on tha 2nd verse here, doin' tha damn thang for tha hood as well as "smokin' on dat purp." Good job on dat 2nd verse, fa real! My Rating: 3.9
½time: Still goin' strong, my boy!! Keep this consistent shit comin' for me 'cause I'm DEFINITELY feelin' ya shit!! Average CD rating currently this time iz... 4.3 FLAT AGAIN!! LOL @ tha EXTREMELY EQUAL consistentness from tha last ½time!!!
10. "Flyer Than"
LOL, ain't this like tha same title as #6? >>> Only 2:30 on tha length, and it's off to a good start, although tha "Fresher Than" song sounded betta. Good job on tha 1st verse, and I'm glad tha hook iz catchy too! Can sound like a repeat of #6, but at least this iz good!! It's betta ta have 2/2 than somethin' like 1/2! Tha 2nd verse still goin' through strong! I like it betta than tha 1st verse. LOL @ "fresh off tha tub;" I ain't used ta people sayin' "out tha tub" afta they're like 10, but at least you went from tha tub ta "smokin' on tha purple blunt!" My Rating: 4.1
11. "I'm Back"
You actually didn't go anywhere wit me 'cause I went from reviewin' a CD wit you on it to a CD wit you on it, lol. But yea, let's see your version of returnin' on this... >>> Soundin' good on tha beat start, again. No featured singer ID again on tha hook. I thought it was gon be aight, but she sounds nice! I like her repetitive "back--back--back--back" part. Pretty good 1st verse on this from you. Nice 2nd verse, as you showin' luv to tha relationship wit tha gurlz. Tha 3rd verse was short, but yea, you know your consistency and how consistent you are, so it's an automatic plus! My Rating: 3.9
12. "Weekend"
Looks like a title that'll go wit tha last song... >>> Not really any tightness in tha beat intro here; more Pop/R&Bish. I reviewed a song from RoyDezzy, and he had used this sample (prolly this beat too). It sounds better here (of course) 'cause RoyDezzy ain't that up-to-par as a rapper for me. Anyway, you're even cuddly wit tha female song here on tha 1st verse. Tha 2nd verse had a better flow, so good job. Still soundin' nice 'n' sweet for tha ladies on tha 3rd verse... My Rating: 3.6
13. "Money" Feat. Kevin F
Yea, Kevin F again!! Let's see tha POWER in this one!! >>> I hear "run it like an athlete;" not anotha repeat song I hope... Actually, it CAN'T be 'cause Kevin says "I'm 'bout my money, dawg" in tha hook. When I hear rappers say "dawg," you KNOW I luv it, so this a newbie for me; TIGHT hook! He even on tha 1st verse here, deliverin' that street shit! I like how he said "dawg" at 1:25 also! "Str8 out tha projects," so you KNOW he on his shit! DEFINITELY a nice 1st verse!! Feelin' tha 2nd verse from you a WHOLE lot; "on your job all tha time servin' fiends & dummies!" You KNOW I feel you when you loaded on that good shit! Only 2 verses? I kinda am a lil' hungry for more... I actually feel my stomach bound ta growl, lol!! My Rating: 4.6
14. "My Swagg" Feat. Bun B
How'd this collaboration come about? No offense, but when I see a big name feature, I automatically guarantee you won't write me back when I show you my 2 reviews I did for you. It happened wit Lil' Cali without me knowin' he was "undaground popular". Anyway, wit a WHOPPIN' 5:43 on tha length, let's see how that length pulled it off for a single! >>> Yea, "X-Fyle on tha track." However, not that tight for a start; sounds like an R&B song for an X-Fyle song? That beat doesn't make this song as cool as that LAST song that was much betta! Still, a good hook that keeps up wit your swag game. Also, too bad tha beat sounds like a repeatin' noise sound effect. I like tha "I need rabbit ears wit karots like this" part in tha 1st verse; pretty good 1st verse. Here comes Bun B on tha 2nd verse... Soundin' decent here; nothin' ta quote though, and this verse cost like $1,500+ I assume? Glad you started tha 3rd verse off wit "dawg." Decent verse, but still kept that swag. Please don't tell me it's 1:32 of a beat outro... YUCK!! Too long... It started fadin' out 59 seconds later! It even went all tha way to tha end wit NO silence! I guess tha "Single Edit" shortens that beat outro. My Rating: 3.5
15. "Me N U" Feat. Kevin F
Tha big dawg featured on this; please no "soft like ice cream" side! >>> Yes! Here's tha "TIGHT" in tha beat this time! Tha hook iz catchy here, as well as how tha flow iz on it! Here you are on tha 1st verse, doin' ya thang! This iz what an undaground single should sound like for you (beat, hook & flow wise)! Pretty good job on that 1st verse! Mr. Kevin on tha 2nd verse goin' hard! Too bad it was like 8 lines. Either way, it's tha greatness that counts more than tha quantity of it! Back ta you on tha 3rd verse here, doin' a nice job as you "got sum medicine." I heard "Kevin" right before tha 4th verse; he comin' back? Yea, a 4th verse, and he here!! I guess that's a plus for tha 8 bar verses! Still comin' through wit that STRONG flow & lyrics! Sounded like tha beat ended a lil' too cold/not fit as it sounded like it cut off. My Rating: 4.4
16. "All Nite" Feat. Rick Ross & Pleasure P
Anotha unexpected collab? It's ironic that Britney Spears iz on Music Choice Dance right now 'cause when this collaboration was gonna come on here, I was gonna say somethin' about Britney... It somehow "Britney Spear'd" on this CD just now? I hope this ain't too girly... >>> Anotha long length too (4:38) for a song like this. Kinda boring, but catchy hook. Pretty good 1st verse I guess; too bad I'm on a lack of sayin' shit. Rick Ross iz here on tha 2nd verse, soundin' like he in luv wit thangz. Tha 3rd verse here from you, and you do sound good still on this. I don't like how tha hook somewhat sounds longer than a typical hook. Not sure what ta rate this... My Rating: 3.4
17. "Like 'Em" Feat. Kevin F & Big Steve
Here comes Kevin & Big Steve again! Lookin' forward to them (especially since tha 1st time Big Steve's on this CD)! Mod Productions beat, please/finally!? >>> No, but a Trillville Feat. Cutty "Some Cut" type of beat. Shit, anotha gurl song back 2 back! Betta be REAL sexual!! At least tha "catch a nut" part adds that dirty attribute to tha hook. Let's see tha 1st verse... It's you, havin' sex "'til 6 in tha mo'nin'," so that's a good addition for you. Not much else in your verse; I think it was only like 8-12 bars... Tha 2nd verse here (I think Kevin)... This time, it decent. Tha 3rd hook here, and it's Big Steve on tha hook, so that's a plus. I think Big Steve on tha last verse here. Great sexual endin' at tha end wit tha "catch 9 or 10 nuts;" that's "nuts," lol!! My Rating: 3.6
18. "I Ain't Trippin'" Feat. Lil' Alex
Lookin' forward I hope... >>> I can't believe no Mod Productions yet. Hope tha endin' song iz wit him. Neva mind, it a previously heard song. Didn't see that it was my lowest rated on tha last CD. Either way, not a good look that it Girl Song #3 in a row. At least tha spellin' iz correct this time, lol (although on tha CD, there still iz)! Slow start, somewhat below REAL GOOD for me. Pretty good hook though at least. Here's tha 1st verse from Issue, and I know you wanna avoid "those problems escalatin'!" Not bad 1st verse right there. Let's see Alex on tha 2nd verse... I don't go for tha depressin' "I hurtin'" type vibes when it comes ta certain songs and shit. I don't like feelin' depressed and sorry durin' mixtapes. I liked tha 1st verse betta; an okay song. My Current Rating: 3.4
19. "Getting Loaded" Feat. Big Steve & Lil' Alex
Tha last song... *checks title wit somewhat fear* Looks like a repeat song... BUT, a NICE one!!! *Checks by rehearin'* >>> And even saved tha Mod Productions one for last!! Yup, tha original "Floatin'" song; great endin' song to this mixtape!! A lil' slower in tha beginning, but yea, REAL NICE weed-smokin' hook right here! Looks like tha beat's pace = tha weed smokin's after-effect pace. Tha 1st verse here from Alex, and it's soundin' good. Good job feelin' good at all times! I believe Alex iz on tha 2nd verse here, soundin' MUCH betta than tha 1st verse! Nice, fast rappin', and great rhymes too! Let's see how my dawg Issue gon sound on tha 3rd verse on this GREAT song... Yea, "you fucked up" too! "Smokin' on tha bleezy" (luv how y'all say "blunt" "bleezy"); that's watz good! Nice job endin' tha verse wit "you know I be...;" thumbs up to this WHOLE song, ESPECIALLY tha hook! My Current Rating: 4.6
Overall: Turned out to be pretty nice, overall. Although I don't think it has that 4.3 average CD rating by now, it still turned pretty good. Lil' Issue, you do a NICE job wit most of these jointz, so you keep your Baton Rouge name out there, ya heard me!
