‘Bout
ta review my boy, outta dat 504, 1st
Degree America’s Worst Nightmare!
I’m not sure if you’re still with Hustler Society Entertainment, like six years
ago (EDIT: Lookin' on tha Facebook page, and I see Dope Muzik Entertainment; I see…). How ironic that I’m playin’ Secret of Mana for Super Nintendo, on my
computer, while I review this. That’s what I was playin’ when I first talked to
you on tha phone five years ago! Start

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 use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or
talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it! After I
was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much
you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done
business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

“Intro”
>>> Nice beginning! “Roll you up one …, pop one!” Wow, “Level 138 in progress” shit? SMH @ this one producer/rapper I knew that took that and used it in his beats! That ain’t original! Anyway, I didn’t expect this ta have rappin’ in it, so props on you makin’ this “intro!” I like how you comin’ through on this beat; I feel your flow! Thumbs up fa smellin’ tha “Mary Jane!” Good shit! My Rating: 4.3

“We On The Block”
Aaayyoo
production. >>> Catchy, repetitive hook; gotta luv when you say,
“dawg.” Haven’t heard a rapper say that in a while, so it’s refreshing, a lil’…
Tha 1st verse sounds nice, here! Oh wait, only verse, it looks like…
Catchy and consistent; gotta feel ya! My
Rating: 4.2
03.
“Watch Me Do Me”
Dreas
Beats production. >>> Nice 1st verse, here; you comin’
through on this beat… Nothin’ wrong wit how you comin’ through on these tracks,
Mr. 1st Degree! Tha 2nd verse sounds nice, too; feelin’
your rhymes… My Rating: 4.1
04.
“Voice Of The Streets”
Mr.
Spacely production. >>> Nice beat you chose, here; thumbs up fa
stayin’ consistent. Props fa reppin’ fa err-body alive and dead; it’s all about
havin’ a “voice!” Glad my “voice” (symbolization of reputation) affects you in
a good way! My Rating: 4.2
05.
“Clap”
>>> A song fa tha “hoes” and for tha “bitch-niggaz;” sounds good, here… I like how tha hook’s just “clap…clap…clap…” Regular song, here; nice job! My Rating: 3.8

“Hear Me”
Serious
Beats production. >>> Anotha good ear for beats, it sounds like; can’t
wait to hear you rap on this one! “Live from tha Crescent;” nice start ta tha 1st
verse, and you comin’ through wit some good shit fa tha 504 streetz. Feelin’
tha hook, too; I definitely “hear”
you! That sux about your “dad.” I come from a “broken home,” too, but my dad’s
a workaholic/millionaire that doesn’t stop workin’ every day/tries to get as
much money as he can invest in… It’s not like I see any of tha money ‘cause you
know: outta sight, outta mind. :( Tha 2nd verse iz nice, too, here;
you doin’ ya thang on this one! I like how you walkin’ “through tha valleys,” too! My Rating: 4.4
08.
“How Shit Goes”
Justnkredible
on tha beat… >>> You should buy beats off me: $100 a beat. That would
be good ta have some 100% original production on your CDs… Anyway, this sounds
pretty catchy; I have ta give you credit fa singin’ on tha hook! That’s a risk,
but you got it on lock! I like tha line about you “tryna find [your] way out”
that you “need a compass!” Nice start to tha 2nd verse wit your
“rhymes be like a documentary;” that’s what’s up! I luv creatin’ documentaries!
Great joint, overall! My Rating: 4.3
½time: I almost thought this was
gonna be a lil’ weaker, but you doin’ ya thang, consistently! You haven’t
fallen off; you always be holdin’
shit down on online beats and shit! Keep it goin’! Average CD Rating: 4.2,
currently!

“I’m From The Streets”
Charlie
Brown beat. >>> ROFL @ tha Jay-Z-sampled beat… Wow, this was quick;
nice job wit your rhymes! My Rating: 4.0
10.
“Hit ‘Em Up” Feat. J-Raw
Lookin’
forward ta this collab! Infinite Genius production. >>> Not bad, so
far; feelin’ tha agression you bring to tha tracks! J-Raw sounds nice on tha 2nd
verse, here… Sounds like he’s got his crib all protected and shit, ready ta
jack anyone that gets in his way! My
Rating: 4.0
11.
“Put Ur Body At
Ease” Feat. B.EZ
Swag
Royalty—yuck at that producer’s name—on tha track. >>> Sounds like an
upliftin’ beat start; good shit, so far! I like how you somewhat-sing tha hook;
good shit! Hearin’ “tha black Johnny Bravo,” a.k.a. B.EZ, on tha 2nd
verse, and he’s comin’ through nicely, here. Kinda sounds like tha 504 version
of Gang Starr’s Guru (R.I.P.); good vibes! My
Rating: 4.3
12.
“In The Rain”
DatPiff
removed this. Oh, I recognize this… Gangsta
Gumbo Vol. 3: Point Of No Return (Hosted by 1st Degree) dayz of
’09… LOL, checkin’ now, and that review was 1,045 reviewz ago!! Doesn’t time
fly?? My Current Rating: 3.6
13.
“Riding Muzik”
>>> Kinda a Kanye/Mid-West feel wit tha beat, but I like how you watchin’ “fa tha cops” wit this “riding muzik!” Good hook, and tha 1st verse sounds good; can’t complain, here… Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too. This joint almost reminds me of somethin’ from, like, 7 – 10 years ago, so you know tha vibe’s great, here! My Rating: 4.1

“Hustle Everyday” Feat. J-Raw
>>>
Nice Jody Breeze (lol, I think that was his name—seems so long ago) sample on
tha hook… I like how J-Raw has “tha
Rouge on lock, like it was under arrest!” Great job from him on this beat… Here
you are on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some nice “street
shit.” My Rating: 3.8
15.
“Stay Strapped”
Jahlil
Beats beat. >>> Nice ear for a Jahlil beat! Great hook; I like how you
say and deliver tha title! Nice job wit tha 1st verse, here; you
doin’ ya thang! Here you are on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through,
“disturbin’ tha peace like [you’re] Ludacris;” thumbs up ta you, as always! LOL
@ tha cold ending! My Rating: 4.1
16.
“Holy Water (Freestyle)”
>>>
Wow, beat sounds nice, here, to end thangz off! Thumbs up ta your aggression,
once again!! Really doin’ ya thang on
this beat, fa tha streetz!! Very
consistent tha whole way ‘round!! My
Rating: 4.5
Overall: Great job wit this mixtape!! Finally, I did a review where there
were no artists that made me feel uncomfortable! Almost every review I’ve done
today and yesterday, there’s been one artist on tha CD that’s a part of my bad
past. I have ta give you props on holdin’ down non-original beats! Your
aggression’s still here, and after knowin’ about you for six years, you still
got tha rap power in you! Keep up tha great
work! Funny how tha last time I heard of you was in 2010, and now, I’m tha age
you were in 2010!
