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.

Intro
Time
ta start thangz off! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ what you got here, Sav!!
>>> I agree wit this “same type of people” shit in tha beginning here;
nice ta point dat out, Sav!! Tha lil’ intro beat sounds REAL HOT too, ya dig?!?
My Rating: N/A
02.
“Big Nuttz (Buku Barz)”
You
mean “buku” and not “boocoo”? I gon put “buku” ‘cause that’s tha REAL spellin’
when it comes ta tha Louisiana
representaz, ya dig!! Yung Joc made a spellin’ like “bookoo” which makes it
sound like a fake-representation. :Td Of course, you produced tha track so you
KNOW it gon go hard!! >>> Yup, tha beat’s pretty gutta here and you
doin’ a NICE job here for tha 1st verse!! DEFINITELY representin’ fa
“yo city” to tha fullest at ALL
times!!! Glad ERR-BODY fucks wit you REAL, REAL HEAVY, Sav!!! All these “barz”
are REAL, REAL NICE!!! GR8 job, ya dig!! My
Rating: 4.4
03.
“Certified G”
You
on tha beat (of course), Troy Chapman did tha bass and Boogie did tha lead
guitar so you KNOW it gon go hard!! >>> Good intro and tha first few
seconds gave me a high BPM feel at first. But, now dat I hear tha actual beat,
it sounds REAL, REAL HOT!!! Sounds like sounds I’d hear in tha Early/Mid 2000’s
(like your “Old Schools” song wit Lil’ Handy & Webbie)!!! :tu This iz
DEFINITELY addictive ta hear and you’re doin’ a NICE job wit tha rappin’; very
consistent here!!! Tha hook sounds pretty nice and it goes wit this mixtape’s
title; “no rest, no sleep! No rest, no sleep” for tha “No Rest, No Sleep”!! :tu Consistent, real-ass street shit in tha 2nd
verse here; just GR8 Savage shit!! You’re one of those people that NEVA gets boring and ALWAYS has tha anticipation in my
opinion!! My Rating: 4.7
04.
“Get To Da Point”
You
doin’ all tha production here so you KNOW this gon keep it goin’!! >>>
Yup, I hear dat anticipatin’ Savage sound in tha beginning of tha beat here!!
Pretty nice job on tha 1st verse here and I like tha “in tha water” shit
in tha hook, ya dig!! Tha hook sounds like you’re makin’ a “point” fa those ta
“get to da point,” lol; good shit! Tha 2nd verse iz dat consistent
shit from you and you handlin’ yo bidness REAL GOOD!! Tha 3rd verse
iz pretty tight here; “hit ya like tha … bulldozer!” DEFINITELY nice shit here,
Sav!! My Rating: 4.5
05.
“UGK (True Story)”
You
did tha beat but I rememba Bun B havin’ a song a ½ decade ago wit nearly tha
same name; let’s see what you got ta say here… >>> Sounds like a
dedication ta Pimp C or somethin’ here; nice, laidback Southern beat from you
here! :tu Tha hook sounds pretty tight; I like how it even has a lil’ Pimp
C-influence in it too wit how you sing it! LOL, this iz a clean version? Heard
“pussy” reversed or somethin’… Now, I heard, “fuck;” lol, ½ clean? Anyway, you
spittin’ dat “true” shit in tha 1st verse so you KNOW you doin’ ya
thang!! Tha hook’s just hella catchy; it’s REALLY tha truth here wit err-body
doin’ all kinds of shit! Tha 2nd verse iz interestin’ here,
especially tha “talkin’ to a brick wall” part; you know how ta keep dis Rap
shit continuous, consecutive and consistent, Sav!! LOL @ all those C’s but it’s
tha truth!! Tha 3rd verse iz pretty painful wit “your boy Johnny shot;” gutta shit here,
Sav!! My Rating: 4.4
06.
“Bom Bom” Feat. Young Ready & Mel 985
First
feature and you’re doin’ tha beat here; REAL high anticipation fa dis one!!!
>>> Was wonderin’ what tha first six seconds was; sounded like a door
got closed or somethin’. Now, I hear tha beat and it sounds like you’re REALLY
anticipatin’ dis, Sav, wit how you sound gangsta in tha beginning!! Tha beat’s
REALLY HOT and it gives dat gangsta attribute to tha track ta make it sound
like it gon be REAL, REAL HOT!!! You’re on tha 1st verse and tha
rhymes are DEFINITELY fulla gangstaness!! Ooh, more shit added to tha beat @
:58!! Keep this HOT, anticipatin’-consistent shit comin’!! LOL, a lil’ jackin’
wit tha “I ain’t no killa, but, don’t push me” in tha beginning but tha way
it’s rapped on tha hook iz DEFINITELY tight!! VERY, VERY catchy here and tha 2nd
verse sounds like it’s continuin’ ta be REAL, REAL HOT wit you on it!! LOL @
tha “small” comin’ outta nowhere in tha 2nd verse too; almost
reminded me of how Drake would say somethin’ in his raps. Ready’s on tha 3rd
verse here and I’m glad he spittin’
some gangsta-ass shit once again!! Good shit and unexpectedly, here comes dat
boy Mel 985 on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse!! Sounds like a
good combination, especially how he keeps it G to tha fullest!! Tha acapella
shit at tha end iz PRICELESS!!! :tu My
Rating: 4.8
07.
“I Ain’t Aight” Feat. Level & Young Ready
Yay!!
Mo Savage productions wit REAL TIGHT features too!! >>> Yea, ANOTHA REAL, REAL HOT sound in tha beat
and tha hook’s soundin’ CRAZY here wit tha beat!!! Level’s on tha 1st
verse and he REALLY doin’ tha damn thang here while you REALLY, REALLY supply
tha beat, Savage!! Those sounds just GET IN YO VAINS!!! :tu REAL NICE job right
there, Level; it’s ALL GR8 shit when y’all hit tha studio wit Savage!!! And
speakin’ of you, Sav, you’re on tha 2nd verse and I almost thought
you were Derty fa a second when tha verse started, lol! It’s dat Baton Rouge shit I can
REALLY like here; you have one of those DEFINING SOUNDS when it comes ta
production as well as Beat Flippa, Q-Red and others!!! :tu Ready’s on tha 3rd
verse and this iz DEFINITELY dat HOT-ASS shit while you just keep it goin’ on
tha beat, Sav!!! My Rating: 4.8
08.
“I’m On Now (Don’t Know How To Act)”
Back
ta just you, Sav; let’s keep tha beats goin’!! >>> I like these lil’
intros you be puttin’ in tha beginning, ya dig!! Tha hook and beat’s DEFINITELY
on point right here!! SOOOOO CONSISTENT!!! I hear a different title? Oh, I see
a different title too on tha mp3 info (since KJ Armour uploaded it). “I’m On
Now” (back cover) a.k.a. “Don’t Know How To Act” (mp3 info). Tha 1st
verse sounds like you just REALLY focused when it comes ta keepin’ it
consistent!! :tu Good-ass job, Savage!! Tha 2nd verse sounds like
you’re just REALLY handlin’ it in a REAL GR8 way!! This tha shit you just GOTTA
LUV!!! Yea, a 3rd verse fit here and all tha “-aye” shit towards tha
end of each line (how it sounds) sounds REAL catchy so you DEFINITELY doin’ tha
damn thang on these beats!!! My Rating: 4.6
½time: THIS CD’s ON FLAMES RIGHT
NOW!!! Tha average CD rating’s at a WHOPPIN’ 4.6 right now; KEEP BRINGIN’ ALL DAT
HEAT, SAV!!! REAL, REAL, REAL NICE JOB ON THA BEATS and THUMBS UP to tha
features too!!!
09.
“Smooth Getaway” Feat. Reuben Lael
This
time, it’s a collaboration between you and Big Onk (think I read dat right as
it’s kinda small via tha DatPiff pic) on tha beat. Looks like it gon be a lil’
breather or somethin’; let’s see… >>> Yea, sounds like tha
stripped-down version of you. This iz pretty good though and it sounds like it
samples somethin’ in tha beat, which I’m feelin’! Tha 1st verse from
you iz just makin’ me think of all tha 95-106 weather we had on Long Island, NY
durin’ July. Too bad it’s like tha 60’s now in Northeast
PA! :td Ooh, tha hook sounds REAL NICE (just like tha song this
samples)! I’m actually feelin’ this singin’ as it’s hella catchy!! Tha 2nd
verse also sets a nice mood here wit how you comin’ through wit tha rhymes,
Sav! Tha 3rd verse sounds pretty good also, Sav; settin’ tha mood
once again! LOL @ endin’ it wit “get ya mind off dem mid-terms;” I feel like my
mind gon go back to college in four dayz and I’m hella behind wit all these
reviewz. :( Nice job here from tha both of y’all! My Rating: 4.5
10.
“Shit, Yeah” Feat. Mouse On Tha Track
Uh
oh, this BIG sayin’!! Saw this on WOS but you know I wait for tha review ta hear it!! Thought there were
different people on tha feature at first but I guess I was wrong (‘cause you be
havin’ buku jointz); let’s see how HOT this iz!!! >>> You KNOW I fuckin’ go fa this!!! This iz
DEFINITELY tha shit; LUVIN’ all tha “shit, yeah”s!!! :tu REAL NICE JOB ON THA
HOOK!!! You’re very energetic here on tha 1st verse, Sav, lol!! I
luv these kinda anthems from you and no wonder how I heard Level say, “shit,
yea,” tha same way you say it here on that “Money Right” song of Lil’ Cali’s although wasn’t
that out first? I dunno but I always feel like since you have a song called
“Shit, Yeah,” that it prolly made it a catchy habit (of how to say it) for
Level, ya dig? Tha 2nd verse sounds catchy and just makes me REALLY
anticipate dat hook, ya dig!!! Mouse’s on tha 3rd verse and there
was like a loss of character at first but he kept tha “shit, yeah”s goin’ along
and did a pretty good job. However, I think you REALLY hold down this track,
Sav; your voice REALLY stands out on it!! My
Rating: 4.8
11.
“My Nigga”
Keep
tha tracks and GR8 topics goin’, Sav!! >>> Your hot beat start and it
sounds like you’re singin’ in tha beginning here… Now dat I’m hearin’ tha title
repeat, it sounds like dis gon be pretty catchy… Tha hook iz DEFINITELY tha
shit although I don’t feel like this fa people on a REAL serious note! Example:
One of my aight friends from college
got outta jail yesterday and he was like, “You got $20 so I can get a ride back
to my house?” His house iz like three hours away… I didn’t feel like I would’ve
did dat for him ‘cause I expect certain friends to be cool wit me in a serious
way. Like, I told him to hang wit me when he got out and dat ain’t lookin’ like
it’s happenin’… Someone like Yung Yola (who’s currently in jail), yea, I’d do
some shit fa him! I tried to get 100 people from his MySpace to give $20 each
to his sista and no one but me did it although I wasted $20 ‘cause it didn’t
arrive (I was stupid ta too-creatively
put cash in tha envelope). But, I got him wit a $5 money order; Yola’s my dawg
fa life and I REALLY am down fa him, ESPECIALLY since he made me tha president
of his 99 Wayz 2 Grind Ent. label! Anyway, on wit tha song: Strong opinion when
it comes ta ya boyz, which makes it a real good hook! Tha 1st verse
sounds pretty dedicated too; it’s all luv! I just look forward ta people
showin’ me luv in person! I hope Louisiana
can open up lots of doors fa me!! Real shit in tha 2nd verse, ya
dig! I kinda “count favors” at times. On a different note, I count letters sent
to people (since I save what I write). Since May 2009, I’ve written Yung Yola
18 letters; I’m REAL down fa who’s REAL serious about what I do, ESPECIALLY
since I REALLY want him ta get out and am REAL cool wit his sista!! Tha 3rd
verse even keeps this shit goin’ to tha fullest; dumb shit, Sav! My Rating: 4.4
12.
“Like Dat” Feat. Mack Maine
A
golden feature for you, lol? Glad you’re just doin’ every beat here!! How will
this sound for a borderline look on tha ID? >>> At least you still
keepin’ it G wit tha HOT-ASS beats!!! You emerged pretty nice in tha 1st
verse here; strictly serious shit when it comes ta how you perfect your
quality!! LOL, must be a real verse from Maine
‘cause you’re on tha hook here, spittin’ some good shit! Nice, catchy hook from
you, Sav! It’s really “like dat!”
Okay, let’s see Mack Maine’s 2nd verse… Wow, startin’ off wit
“x-pillz,” lol! He sounds pretty focused fa you! How much did his feature cost?
I know you got buku money to tha fullest so you KNOW you got good accesses,
Savage!! Tha lyrics in tha 2nd verse are kinda borin’ me a lil’ (I
kinda feel dat way most of tha time on tha mainstream artists) but he’s keepin’
tha flow consistent so dat’s what’s up! Glad he shouted you out towards tha end
of his verse too! My Rating: 4.3
13.
Ace & Mitch
No
production? Iz this a jacked beat or somethin’ else? >>> Oh, a skit;
shit, yea, lol! Very catchy; feelin’ all your intros and skits you bring to tha
table here!! My Rating: N/A
14.
“Exit Plan”
NICE
title and shit, yea, you’re on tha beat again!! >>> Still luvin’ your
beats and this one’s soundin’ just as good!! Tha 1st verse sounds
like some serious shit ‘bout tha “money;” good shit, Sav! Tha hook’s
interestin’, ESPECIALLY wit this title and this topic!! Likin’ tha whole
“escapin’” theme! Continuin’ ta like tha shit in tha 2nd verse too;
VERY consistent wit how you do tha damn thang!! Good job here wit this shit;
thought I’d hear a 3rd verse but tha length’s kinda short… My Rating: 4.3
15.
“Po’ Me Up”
Think
there’s an error as “’em” instead of “me” on tha back cover. Anyway, you and
Big Onk on tha beat again as well as Max on tha guitar; let’s see how this’ll
sound… >>> Likin’ tha laidback feel again and it sounds REAL GR8 for
tha South!! You sound either seductive for tha ladies or really ready drinkin’
wit tha way you deliverin’ tha 1st verse, lol! Sounds good wit how
you doin’ tha catchy-ass hook! LOL, how drunk
were you when you made/finished this, lol? Tha 2nd verse sounds like
you’re REALLY feelin’ this shit and
just BEGGIN’ ta be in tha mood and set tha mood here when it comes ta tha HOT
shit! LOL @ tha “po’in’” at tha end! My
Rating: 4.3
16.
“My City”
You
know I like titles like dis and of
course, you on tha beat again!! >>> Sounds like a catchy-ass beat
start! Lots of real shit in tha 1st verse, just spittin’ about how
“ratchet” err-body iz in “yo city.” A
lil’ too gutta but at least, tha music sounds tha best! Yea, “BR = Been Ratchet,” although there’s a bunch of meanings… Really
enjoyin’ tha catchiness of this hook right here, ya dig! You DEFINITELY know
how ta hold down a beat and add GR8 rhythms and melodies to ‘em, ya dig?!? Tha
2nd verse has mo real shit comin’ outta it. As far as tha “fathers,”
I think there’s a lotta kids or somethin’ bein’ born, especially at an early
age; that’s my perspective. Tha 3rd verse has some strong content
too wit what’s comin’ outta “yo city”
once again, ya dig? Good shit here, Sav! My
Rating: 4.4
17.
“What Happened To Da Real”
Last
song usually sounds sad for me… Same lineup on tha production as “Certified G”
so let’s see… I mean, you GOTTA keep
tha groove movin’, Sav!! Oh, and shout out for gettin’ ViperGFX for tha cover;
gotta keep dat dude grindin’!!! >>> Yea, a lil’ bit of a sad vibe but
I still hear tha REAL GR8 shit in tha beat here when you be producin’ it!!
Doesn’t sound too bad in tha 1st verse here; keepin’ it street and
consistent wit tha rhymes so dat’s a DEFINITE plus!! I feel dat this iz
listenable; nothin’ wrong wit it at all… Okay, tha hook’s DEFINITELY “real” to
tha fullest!! How can people “not be 100” when they claim ta “be 100”? I’m likin’ how you sing on tha hook too; nothin’
ta fear but somethin’ ta listen to!! Tha 2nd verse has a lotta real
shit goin’ on here; feelin’ each and every rhyme you spittin’!! I like tha
start to tha 3rd verse wit tha “favors returned;” good shit here,
Sav!! Kinda short verse but nice job here! I like how you have an outro on this
too! At least you make this shit feel really
“real,” ya dig!! I don’t rememba tha last time I had a seven-page review fa
somethin’ only 17 songs long; you kept it REAL interestin’ throughout this
WHOLE CD!!! My Rating: 4.0
Overall: Like I said before: How REAL of a CD from Baton Rouge just DOIN’ THA DAMN THANG!!! REAL
GLAD you stayin’ on ya grind wit tha production!! I show BUKU LUV ta you on my radio show, ESPECIALLY wit ALL tha shit
you’ve made since “She’s A Poppa”, ya dig!! A NICE five-star rated CD from you;
keep doin’ tha damn thang and good luck wit Vol. 2!!
