Finally
gettin’ a chance for some reviewz… I have 14 to do, hopefully before tha month
ends. It might be hard ‘cause I need to get my radio show for 4.30 ready, get
an interview, attempt to get footage at my 1st college from their
Spring Fling tomorrow, and continue to finish up my documentary. Also,
hopefully startin’ May 1 (for tha 3rd year in a row), I’m gonna try
and get back to my “Louisiana Reviewz
Marathon”, tryin’ to only review current CDs on tha weekend (possibly
Sundays). Now dat I have my mind right, things should go well! Here’s tha 1st
review for today: Level “Deal Or No Deal (The Mixtape) (Hosted by
Kool DJ Supamike)”; don’t know why I got this so late? :confused I’m a
huge promoter and I get shit like dis late? Start Time: 11:14 AM | End
Time: 11:58 AM
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. 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.

“Deal Or No Deal”
>>>
“You made tha phone call [to Supamike];” how’d he answer when he can’t even
answer my fuckin’ friend request (or messages I send him)? :confused As for tha
song, thought tha singin’ would throw me off but you know I gotta luv tha title
part! Sounds like a pre-’09 Level on tha way this sounds? I guess ‘cause you’re
less-hyper, here? Nice for only one verse, though; you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.2
02.
“Hit Dat”
>>>
Funny how I pictured Lil’ Cali’s
song, for some reason. As I keep thinkin’ it’s ‘bout hittin’ a hoe, sounds like you wanna “hit dat purple!” :tu Cali
wanted ta “hit dat” when it came to tha ride; always a different result, lol!
This iz definitely catchy; thumbs up fa tha hook! How much “purp” do you smoke
a day, by tha way? Glad you doin’ ya thang wit these verses! As I mentioned in
my girl Alexia’s edition of my radio show, you gotta be ready ta handle Level,
lol! Tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ pretty nice, here; gotta luv
everything you be bringin’ to tha table, especially dat flow!! My Rating: 4.5
03.
“Goin’ Hard”
>>>
ROFL @ “Turn The Beat Up” beat; I’m definitely likin’ your rendition, here! If
you want me ta upload this mixtape onto DatPiff, ‘cause I see it’s not on
there, shoot me $20 via tha mail or $21.80 via Paypal. Good energy, here,
keepin’ shit all tha way tha dumb way!! My
Rating: 4.4
04.
“Throw It Up” Feat. Mookie & Q-Red
Let’s

currently! Very-nice combination, here; everything combines in a real great way!! Ooh, Mookie Blakk’s on
tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some hot-ass, BR-type shit!!
Couldn’t’ve been more impressed wit somethin’ like dis! My Rating: 4.7
05.
“In Da Back” Feat. Lil’ Mista & Young Ready
>>>
Yes, keep this hot shit comin’!! This sounds a lil’ familiar but I think it’s
new fa me. Once again, you’re comin’ through wit some real hot, consistent-ass
shit!! “Fuckin’ ‘round wit Mista;” iz Lil’ Mista on tha feature? Maybe it came
from his CD? Damn, it’s not on his CD… He sounds good on tha 2nd
verse and again, familiar. You already know, dis shit iz definitely on ‘n’ poppin’!! Glad Mista’s addin’ hot shit to his
rhymes from tha “blunt” shit to tha “hit dat” shit! :tu LOL, Young Ready’s on
tha 3rd verse; anotha real hot
collaboration!! Err-body bringin’ their best, here!! “Level, pass tha blunt
back;” you already know!! My Rating: 4.6
06.
“Cut No Corners”
>>>
Kinda likin’ tha slow-soundin’ beat but likin’ tha topic betta! Tha hook’s
hella tight; shout out ta EQ on tha beat! “Ghosttown; dumb shit!” Gotta feel
it! Damn, as much as I thought tha previous song was betta, each time, it
sounds like it’s only gettin’ betta/a tie!! Once again, anotha
consistently-handled joint from you, Level! Keep tha hot shit comin’!! My Rating: 4.5
07.
“Grindtime” Feat. Savage
>>>
Tha Birdman sample on tha hook sounds good; you seem to get my interest, no
matter what! While I might hate on a mainstream sample, you pick somethin’ dat
I will like! LOL, really feelin’ tha
flow, here; definitely A+ to tha
fullest!!! Glad you luv dis shit at all
times!! Ooh, “shit yea” (as he would say), Savage’s on tha 2nd verse
and he’s comin’ through wit a great
vibe, here!! Definitely one of tha
best-soundin’ Savage verses I have heard in a minute!! Everything he spittin’,
here, iz for tha streetz and tha flow/energy iz hella tight!!! I hope ta interview him fa my radio show—answer your
texts, Sav!! My Rating: 4.7
08.
“Let Me In” Feat. Mz. Trill
>>>
Alexia!! Ooh, tha theme kinda flows wit it when it comes to her boyfriend!
Still luvin’ how you come through wit tha entertainin’-“ass” rhymes, lol! What
else could you ask for when it’s a song like dis, lol? Hook iz definitely off tha hook!!! Ooh, Mz.
Trill’s makin’ an appearance on tha 3rd verse; definitely on her
A-game, here!!! My Rating: 4.5
09.
“Ass Ackin’”
Tha
“ackin’” caught me off-guard but it was 2ooley & 2 Slugz “Still Ackin’”
that I thought of. >>> Anyway, anotha hot one from you; glad you
keepin’ dis “ass” theme goin’, no less in a different perspective! Stronger
energy, here; “I’ll stomp you to tha ground!” Damn! Nothin’ betta than hearin’
some of tha tightest deliveries wit your flow!! I like dat “I be—I be ass
ackin’” part in tha hook; you know what it iz!! My Rating: 4.5
½time: Damn, you comin’ through
wit some of tha hottest shit, once again!! What else could I ask for you to
deliver? You already got shit on lock!! A 4.5-rated CD, currently, possibly up for a 5-star
rating!!!!
10.
“Let Me Get Dat”
>>>
LOL, this iz hella catchy, too! Feelin’ tha beat, tha singin’ throughout tha
hook, and how you repeat tha title durin’ tha 2nd ½ of tha hook, Baton Rouge style!! Nice
job wit tha verses, too; gotta (Alexia voice) “luv it!!” My Rating: 4.6
11.
“Is U Wet Yet (Remix)” Feat. Dorrough
LOL…
>>> Oh, didn’t realize dis was tha “remix,” at first. I guess ‘cause
it’s this kinda song, I guess it’s okay ta have Dorrough on it; a lil’ cheesy,
though, lol, which I might like tha original version betta. My Current Rating: 4.0
12.
“Out Tha Frame” Feat. Box
>>>
An EQ production… Damn, I heard dis; lemme see where I heard it from… Okay, I
don’t remember where tha previous review iz, but I remember this was really high
wit tha rating ‘cause of your flow/catchiness! Oh shit, it’s Box on tha
feature; no wonder… Now, I know where
it came from! Tha rating went up! My
Current Rating: 4.8
13.
“Throw Me On Her” Feat. Max Minelli
>>>
Anotha good/decent song; fits perfect wit dis CD. This sounds a lil’ familiar
wit all tha “titties” and shit. Okay, Max Minelli on tha feature? Not sure
where it would’ve came from but yea, Max adds dat spice ta dis track! My Rating: 4.3
14.
“’Bout My Money” Feat. Box & EQ
>>>
Kinda bad for me but I won’t knock it too much… Let’s see if features are on
here to help… LOL, Box again! Okay, definitely
helps wit this fast-ass shit he spittin’! Kinda takes tha distraction away, a
lil’. I had to look online to see who was on tha 3rd verse and it’s EQ;
would’ve neva guessed… As for his verse, it’s just about okay/below average for
me; very typical wit tha rhymes. Overall, Box only satisfied me wit dis… My Rating: 4.1
15.
“Reverse”
This
looks like it could be entertainin’ wit this short title and tha name of it!
>>> I don’t know why all these songs are soundin’ familiar but are not
appearin’ in my iTunes? Definitely feelin’ tha hook and you got tha 1st
verse on lock wit your flow, once again!! Tha rest of this shit’s pretty nice,
too; glad you keepin’ shit catchy! My
Rating: 4.4
16.
“Break It Off” Feat. IL Duce
>>>
Sounds crazy, in a good way, wit dis Foxx sample! Gotta keep it goin’ wit you,
here, doin’ tha damn thang wit your catchiness at all times!! Damn, without findin’ a search result, it was kinda
hard ta find out who was on tha 2nd verse. But, you know I ID’d it as my boy IL Duce, doin’
tha damn thang!! My Rating: 4.4
17.
“I’m Da Shit”
>>>
EQ on tha beat and this iz anotha familiar-soundin’ song. Either way, anotha
catchy song, too, lol! Tha way you hold notes iz hella catchy, no matter what you rap about!! Nice job, once
again! My Rating: 4.3
18.
“I’m Leavin’ You” Feat. April Reign
LOL,
tha full version, even though you
sent me it a while ago! This now
sounds like tha perfect song to present to…—well, I’ll leave it blank, for now,
lol! My Current Rating: 4.0
19.
“He Say, She Say”
Familiar
title; how we gon end it? >>> I don’t think I eva heard dis; anotha
catchy song from you when it comes ta any kinda audience, regardless of gender.
I’m likin’ tha gangsta shit, here; very consistent, although bleh @ tha “Waka
Flocka” quote? LOL, I think he should just live in 2010—oh yea, keep forgettin’
this iz 2010. My Rating: 4.2
Overall: You did it, once again,
Level!! Anotha 5-star-rated CD you put out, even though I’m a lil’ late at
receivin’ it (mp3, no less)!! Keep up tha great
work!! I’m sure you have anotha mixtape out by now, or am I confusin’ tha
times?
