Happy
2K21, my peeps!! Glad we done made it to anotha year, ya heard me?! And, what a
way ta kick it off: Shout out ta tha legendary Foxx fa gettin’ a hold of me & sendin’ me his latest release, Shakeback
2, courtesy of Milliyone Musik! I actually am currently tryna upload
tha mixtape ta DatPiff, via Foxx. However, DatPiff keeps givin’ me an error
message, smh; their server’s fucked up… Regardless, I’ll get it up there,
eventually. Fa now, lemme review dis bitch…! Start Time: 6:21 PM | End
Time: 7:07 PM
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, have
auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money (which I consider
‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it ain’t bad; glad you not abusin’ tha auto-shitty-tune…! A delay in your delivery at :41, based off of waitin’ fa dat… “sound?” Did it startle you? Hearin’ tha hook & it ain’t really on my level; not wack but not somethin’ I’m into wit tha apologizin’… Even down to my charge: It’s a lil’ bit of a rough road but my motive & reasoning behind gettin’ my share has no apologizes comin’ from me, ya feel me? With that bein’ said, hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it aight, tho y’all dudes seem ta get twisted up in all tha baby-mama drama. Lucky fa myself, I hopped ova that chapter & ain’t had ta deal wit none of that shit…! My Rating: 3.1

“Fiya Eps”
>>>
Likin’ tha lil’ “Chickenhead” sample (“alright, alright, alright…”) from 20
years ago in tha beginning, here… Hearin’ tha plain beat start wit you on tha 1st
verse, here & it sounds nice; your rhymes are so consistent! Like, you
rhymin’, like, twice per line! Definitely nice, tho no jiggaz fa you, here, via tha no “ecstacy?” Jiggaless Foxx, lol… Oh
wait, now this one bitch had you “on dem pillz;” Jiggaful Foxx, lol. As far as
them “stealin’ $100.00 from” ya, that shit sucks. I helped this one bitch out
six years ago, as I bought her a used car fa $500.00 & she paid me back,
like, only $200.00. Then, I gave her an edible & when we was gon meet or
somethin’, she claimed she “ran ova a dog,” smh; wtf @ carelessness! Lol @
“Ecstacy,” as far as an actual bitch’s name; good shit! Definitely feelin’ how
you just decided ta freestyle ‘bout deez bitches!
My Rating: 4.4
08.
“Slowly” feat. Dej Rosegold
>>>
Sounds like a good lil’ slower hook
& beat, here; dope organ in tha beat…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse
& this shit sounds nice, wit what you bringin’ to tha table! “I’m fulla dat
drank […] tabs […] gas, too;” you know! Gotta luv ya, Figgy-Foxx! Sounds nice
wit how you describin’ this bitch; at least this one ain’t makin’ ya waste money, like tha previous track!
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from you & it sound like anotha day in tha
bitch-life of Foxx (by “bitch-life,” I don’t mean that you’re a “bitch,” lol!
It’s about them bitches, ya feel
me?); not bad wit this shit… Hearin’ tha hook fa tha 3rd tyme &
it does sound like you’re on drank or
somethin’, wit how you deliver it; glad shit can get you in tha right zone! Hearin’ this Rosegold chick
on tha 3rd verse & I’m diggin’ that she spittin’ that ratchet,
southern-type shit, here. I usually be knockin’ tha female rappers, these dayz,
but this one got potential fa success… My
Rating: 4.0
09.
“Letter 269” feat. Lady Kym
Producer:
AJ On Da Track
>>>
Nice that you got anotha AJ beat, here…! Literally, I seen tha title & I
was like, “you wrote a 269th letter ta who? Tha rap game, since you
have so many tracks?” Then, afta hearin’ tha hook, it’s fa gay-ass “6ix9nine!”
Ugh, I hate his ass! Not really anticipated ta hear you givin’ some of your
energy ta him but I’m glad you exposin’ your hate fa him…! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it sounds good wit how you writin’ this “letter” ta him but don’t
write 268 mo, lol!! Yeah, don’t trust
those peeps that luv “shmoke” but “luv 6ix9ine!” Keepin’ tha 2nd
verse goin’ & it’s nice; glad you keep reppin’ fa “BR,” tho. See, at least
wit my white-ass, at least I’m always welcome in BR; 6ix9ine, on tha otha hand,
he’ll get tha glock on him! Real talk! Keepin’ this shit goin’ wit tha 3rd
verse & it sounds nice wit how you keepin’ it movin’; nice job… Glad AJ
keepin’ tha on-n-poppin’ production goin’ fa you, at all tymes! He sometymes gets frustrated wit how he don’t get that
much luv but I’m tellin’ ya, just like how I don’t get much luv, he gon win in
tha end! Baleedat! Also, I ain’t realize Lady Kym was in tha background of tha
hook; definitely nice how you both vocalize tha hook! My Rating: 4.2

“Jigga City Dumb”
Producer: AJ On Da Track
Producer: AJ On Da Track
That’s
right, via that 2…2…5! >>> Yeah! AJ did this one, too, as well as it
havin’ that 225-type title, too! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty dope, as
well as what you & AJ got goin’ on, here…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse
& it’s pretty nice; definitely feelin’ what you got, here; keep it up!
“Dumb,” “dumb,” dizzumb!! Hearin’
what you got goin’ on wit tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty nice;
definitely keepin’ tha consistency comin’! Luv how tha pattern sounds like a
bunch of kickin’ in tha beat, tha last four barz of tha verse! Definitely nice!
Also, S/O to “Mickens” on tha street, too! Seemed like this one flew on by, so
fast…! My Rating: 4.6
11.
“Come Around”
>>> A slower beat but it’s cool, here; couldn’t ID tha producer, tho… Hearin’ tha hook & it dope fa tha streetz, here… Hope you always “Come Around,” Foxx; you know what it iz! Also, anotha beat wit anotha hot organ! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & you got tha str8 rhymes comin’ through, here; gotta dig ‘em… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & I’m glad you don’t stereotypically move fa “pussy,” as tha “paypa” must make you “move!” Also, glad you feel like you in “Jamaica,” based off tha good loud! Shout out ta you keepin’ tha rhymes goin’; you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.3

Definitely luvin’ this true BR sound, in tha beat!! Definitely dope, includin’
how you comin’ through wit tha anti-hoe’d up hook! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it goes hard!! Luvin’ your flow but tha beat sounds really make you go off!! I gotta hook

“Smokin’ Loud”
Producer:
La’Keith
A
track from tha previous Shake Back,
released back in 2K13… Here’s how my review went, back then:
This
sounds real similar to Baton Rouge’s
Ronny My’s “What A Bum (Free Kevin Gates)”, from [2009]. They got tha same
“Waterman”-like sample, which I dig… Let’s see if this iz better… I like how
tha hook sounds; glad you inta “smokin’” & you feelin’ tha vibe, right now!
I think I might’ve liked that Ronny My song betta, since I was inta undaground
Gates, at tha time, lol. But, it sounds good on tha 1st verse; you
got tha “loud” on lock! Tha 2nd verse sounds great, too; nice vibe!
Lol @ “you be smokin’ shh!” Good job
wit tha 3rd verse, too, as you’re catchin’ them in lies! As much as
I said I liked tha Ronny My song betta, I believe tha rating’s tha same for me,
right now… My Current Rating: 4.4
Overall: Definitely thought this
bitch was dumb; glad you always bring tha heat! Always love ya, since I first
heard ya on Music Choice Rap, back on March 14, 2007! Keep tha consistency
goin’ & I hope I can get this on my DatPiff soon…! I even tried submittin’
somethin’ ta LiveMixtapes, as well as Spinrilla; I gon keep tryin’ fa you,
bruh…!
