Reviewed on 2.07.2010 (Review #390)




We in “Guttaville” right now wit my boy Gutta Boy Gucci!! Just reviewin’ a bunch of shit from him and BoRob Entertainment!! Keepin’ tha reviewz comin’, here goes my review for Gutta Boy Gucci “Gucci By Gucci (The Mixtape)”! Start Time: 2:13 PM | End Time: 3:53 PM


Quick Note: 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) so 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.

01. “Too Hot (Intro)”
Just like your “I’m Hot” song; this time, you’re “too hot” when it comes ta this Rap shit! Let’s hear how we gon start this one off… >>> Where did tha name “BoRob” come from? Even a Vybe beat for this beat intro, lol! Gotta luv how you came through in tha beginning too! Your “what’s up” shit in tha background sounds like Young Maniac Feat. D.O.C. “What’s Up” on tha hook; good shit! You and Vybe have GR8 chemistry wit this shit right chea; nice job on tha verse!! My Rating: 4.3


02. “Free ThroBack”
Since you’re sayin’, “free,” and you have “throwback” spelled tha way you do, I’m assumin’ this iz about a person called “ThroBack;” lemme check it out! >>> Tha beat intro iz DEFINITELY “dumb shit;” Gutta!! Tha 1st verse was nice but where’s tha title? I guess I’m confusin’ it or somethin’… Tha hook was cool though and tha 2nd verse has your “gutta” attributes! Towards tha outro, you finally said tha title, lol. Glad this was on some “dumb shit!” My Rating: 4.4


03. “Boost Me Up (Bow!)”
This was one of tha 1st songs I had of yours and dat Koo Da Don dude gave a gr8 explanation of why you are on this beat. You do ya thang on this beat to tha fullest!! Tha hook iz HOT; it makes you feel like tha original version (“Say Bow”) didn’t exist! Tha 1st verse iz you soundin’ cool as fuck here so thumbs up! Tha rest of tha song (of course) iz you doin’ tha damn thang here on this beat! My Current Rating: 4.3


04. “Million Dollar Money”
Like Whitney Houston! >>> Sounds like a Vybe beat intro ‘cause of how good it iz! Who’s tha dude on tha hook? Tha shit sounds hot; more catchy shit from you and your clique!! Speakin’ of you bein’ in tha studio in tha 1st verse, I’m glad you did a drop for my radio show! It sounds GR8 and I played it last night on tha air! You soundin’ cool on tha 2nd verse too; gr8 flow! Mo hot shit from dat boy GBG wit tha “GBG” mixtape, lol! My Rating: 4.2


05. “Go Hard”
You KNOW you a fool on these tracks!! >>> Tha gurl in tha beginning (which was a beat tag) kinda confused me at first but then again, you said it was “for tha ladies” so maybe I wasn’t confused. LOL @ tha hook; you got every drug fa a gurl. I like tha “back it up fa me” part where it’s a deep/screwed voice! Tha short 1st verse was okay fa what it was. I hear a different hook (hearin’ more now and that part I heard in tha beginning was just tha 2nd ½ of tha hook). Tha 1st ½ sounds pretty good; I hear you singin’ tha title. Nice job wit tha 2nd verse too on this as you do “go hard” on this track in a different way. My Rating: 4.1


06. “Shinin’ Hard (Remix)” Feat. Kevin Gates
There’s a feature listed on this one but not one of tha previous ones? Anotha “hard” song which I did air on my radio show. A couple of tha faculty members walked in when I played this and we had a big talk about what I do wit tha radio shit. Tha beat iz cool and you sound real cool wit tha “look at me!!” part! Your 1st verse sounds pretty good; I like tha hook betta though. Gates sounds weird on his start to tha 2nd verse but luckily, it’s normal later on. How did this collab come about? Glad it’s real and it’s good wit how Gates teamed up on it. Tha 3rd verse from you sounds like you again. My Current Rating: 4.3


07. “Haters Get’n Mad”
I’m sure they are, lol. >>> Tha start sounds good and tha beat iz catchy. Nice job wit tha 1st verse on this. You comin’ through wit some type of attitude wit tha 2nd verse; good shit! This was a good joint as it rolls through good. My Rating: 4.2


08. “Ya Gotta Feel Me” Feat. A.u. & coKane
Are coKane and iKane two different people or are they tha same? They have ta be tha same if they rollin’ wit you… I’ll find out later today. For now, “I’m” DEFINITELY “ready” fa this one!! >>> Tha start in tha beat sounds a lil’ odd… Sounds like a jacked beat… Tha hook was good here. It sounds like A.u. iz on tha 1st verse? Good shit here. I think you’re on tha 2nd verse here, spittin’ some life-type shit here for tha hood. Tha coKane dude iz on tha 3rd verse here, spittin’ some consistent shit! My Rating: 4.1


09. “Life Is Unfair”
Not only that but I feel dat my reputation iz ALWAYS unfair!! >>> A lil’ scary/Lupe Fiasco-type start wit tha sample (that’s what it sounds like). Not really a song for me but you doin’ ya thang here wit what you’re spittin’. Tha 2nd verse was a lil’ betta fa me; I may like this song a lil’ betta… My Rating: 3.4


10. “Get Away” Feat. Ebony & A.u.
What’ll this be like? >>> Vybe beat. Tha hook sounds like it’s like tha last song. Tha 1st verse from you was just like tha last song too; I guess this iz a sequel. I’m glad A.u. “luvs his weed.” He sounds cool on his verse so that’s a plus! You’re on tha 3rd verse still deliverin’ some real-type shit. My Rating: 3.2


½time: Nearly tha whole ½ of this mixtape sounded very consistent wit nearly tha same ratings. Tha last few songs kinda shifted things a lil’ but you have a 4.1 average CD rating now so that’s a plus!


11. “On A Mission” Feat. Hollywood
I’m not 100% sure of who Hollywood iz so I’ll check him out since he’s on your CD here. Let’s see this “mission!” >>> Sounds like a pretty good beat!! Looks like this’ll be a GR8 collaboration on a TIGHT Vybe beat!! It’s nice and slow here and tha hook DEFINITELY for tha streetz here!! NICE comeback ta this CD!! Your flow iz tight here on tha 1st verse; glad you luv your homeboyz! Tha 2nd verse sounds interestin’ wit tha “shit” you be doin’ and not doin’ anymore. You “sold dope” a long time ago? I’m older than you so you must’ve been really young… And you really “have kids?” Once again, I’m older than you (or are you talkin’ ‘bout your brothers?)… Good shit bein’ spit here once again. It sounds like dat boy Hollywood iz on tha 3rd verse; good shit! Glad y’all keep it street to tha fullest! Tha 3rd verse went all tha way ‘til tha end (wit a mysterious 13 seconds of silence) wit a fade-out! My Rating: 4.4


12. “What U Gone Do”
Interestin’ title… >>> A lil’ Rockish start here… Oh yea, I should’ve known this was familiar. I thought I heard this before? *Checks* Okay, I reviewed it from someone else’s mixtape only a few dayz ago and they had tha same beat/hook. I’m guessin’ this was a free beat givin’ out online. You sound good on tha 1st verse; LUV tha fast-ass rappin’ outta nowhere, ROFL!!! Tha 2nd verse FLYIN’ THROUGH outta nowhere, lol!! My Rating: 4.0


13. “From The Rouge” Feat. Lil’ Junior & A.u.
Looks like an anthem! >>> Tha beat start iz DEFINITELY HOT here!! Tha hook iz REAL TIGHT here “for tha Rouge!!” You doin’ ya thang on tha 1st verse here, Gutta!! All tha “what’s up, what’s up” and “bow, bow, bow” shit iz DEFINITELY official!! Tha Lil’ Junior dude on tha 2nd verse REALLY ‘bout his street shit here!! DEFINITELY 100% street shit to tha fullest!!! Tha continuation of A.u. here on tha 3rd verse, doin’ tha damn thang here!! I like how he said “Jungle City” (like “Jigg City”); good shit! My Rating: 4.7


14. “Dumb Shit” Feat. A.u. & Hollywood
GR8 follow-up wit one-second less than tha previous HOT joint!!! >>> FUCKIN’ BIG DAWG VYBE ON THA BEAT!!!!! Tha hook DEFINITELY has it goin’ on here wit buku “dumb shit”-type thingz!!! Too bad tha Junior dude ain’t on this. Tha 1st verse REALLY ‘bout dat “dumb shit” to tha fullest; EXTREMELY consistent!! Tha 2nd verse doin’ tha damn thang here; nothin’ wrong wit this joint right chea!! Gotta luv when people come through wit HOT shit!! You’re finally here on tha 3rd verse, Gutta!! You kept it REAL HOT just like tha rest of them!! My Rating: 4.6


15. “Fly Shit” Feat. A.u. & Hollywood
There were two “hard” titles back to back. Now, there’s two “shit” titles back to back, lol. You REALLY ‘bout doublin’ up so that’s why A.u. & Hollywood come together on this almost five minute joint!!! >>> Intro was cool for DJ Chill. Tha hook/title wit tha weird kid wit tha vocals iz kinda odd/Pop-type. You doin’ a pretty good job here on tha 1st verse, Gutta! Just as good as you, A.u. HAD ta do tha damn thang and come through for tha 2nd verse!! Here’s dat beast Hollywood on tha 3rd verse!! He DEFINITELY tore it up to tha fullest!! You have such GR8 people, Gutta!! My Rating: 4.5


16. “Good Girl”
Only Gucci’d up this time. >>> Beat’s okay, tha hook not really for a 21 year-old like me though. I didn’t really say anything about tha 1st verse; mainly for tha youngin’s. Tha 2nd verse kinda flows wit tha 1st verse too; it was shorter. Glad you’re bein’ descriptive wit your “smokin’” in tha 3rd verse at least. My Rating: 2.2


17. “Nympho” Feat. A.u.
GR8 repeat!! Tha beat start sounds like a really slow “Low” wit tha sound effects. On tha slow tip soundin’ catchy here for tha hook. You doin’ ya thang on tha 1st verse, Gutta! DEFINITELY liked tha fast rappin’ on this slow beat! Tha 2nd verse iz A.u., contributin’ good. He really on his sex tip here… My Current Rating: 4.2


18. “Pray 4 Me”
>>> Glad it ain’t slow. Tha rhymes are pretty good here; you’re “focused.” That was a quick song… It wasn’t that bad; good job on tha verses. My Rating: 3.6


19. “Before It’s Over”
You have “its;” it’s “it’s.” >>> Betta beat start here. Tha start sounded okay; you got tha rhymes goin’ on in tha 1st verse though. Tha hook has interest for tha streetz here. Tha 2nd verse was pretty good too… What I wish iz I wish less black people would go to jail and get on tha news. It creates a stereotype and dat’s not good! My Rating: 3.7


20. “First Name, Last Name”
Looks like I’ll bash on this one. >>> I neva liked dat rapper but it looks like you’re re-creatin’ him in a much betta way. Oh, I don’t think it’s tha beat I was thinkin’ of; it sounds original. It says, “First name Gutta, last name Gucci” on tha hook; tight shit! Nice job on tha 1st verse, just rappin’ like it’s an instant plus. Keepin’ tha heat comin’ wit tha 2nd verse too on this shit; thumbs up. My Rating: 4.1


21. “I’mma Get You” (Hollywood Feat. Ebony)
Anotha bonus for tha end… Hope it’s good wit Ebony on it. >>> Sounds like a different “Make Tha Trap Say Aye” in tha beginning of tha beat. Tha vocal style in Ebony’s part on tha hook sounds like a sample; she sounds good and tha lyrics sound like “Russian Roulette” in tha hook. Hollywood (of course) comin’ through wit his GUTTA shit here!! DEFINITELY feelin’ him; he a dude that gets a plus instantly fa bein’ him and bein’ tough!! He even doin’ tha damn thang on tha 2nd verse too; he ain’t nothin’ ta fuck wit! Nice ending from you, Gutta, wit your “Free ThroBack” thing! My Rating: 4.4


Overall: Once again, you did a pretty good job on this mixtape too! This one had a buncha hot songs so it’s tough ta say which mixtape was betta between this and tha last one I reviewed. I have a feelin’ it’s this one ‘cause there were a bunch of hot songs in tha beginning but I think I’ll just consider it “tied” almost…
