Let’s
keep this goin’: A.u. iSpit (The Mixtape) iz my next
review, from last year, released on Never Basic Association. Start Time: 6:39 PM | End Time: 7:19 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!

01.
“Bars 2”
>>> Not tha kinda beat I’d wanna hear, when it comes ta tha quality
rap I’d wanna hear. Let’s leave tha lyrical shit behind & just spit tha lyrical shit on dem BR beatz! With that
bein’ said, tha rhymes cool, here, just not tha beat chosen fa this one… My Rating: 3.2
02.
“2:22 AM” feat. Yung Marv & GhostWryter
>>>
An okay hook; wasn’t sure what it was about, tho, with tha “whatcha want […]
whatcha need…” You’re on tha 1st verse, here, comin’ through wit
some good rhymes, even tho tha beat only ehh/aight… Marv tearin’ shit up on tha
2nd verse, here; lots of continuous shit he be spittin’! Definitely
a thumbs up; great feature! Got tha GhostWryter on tha 3rd verse,
here, comin’ through wit some nice BR shit, as far as tha voice/flow goes; “no
cap!” My Rating: 3.8
03.
“137”
>>> Generic beat choice, here, wit a quiet vibe… A, you got good,
consistent rhymes, here; all luv, from tha shit you shmokin’ ta what ya life be
like, in BR…! My Rating: 4.2
04.
“Never Basic” feat. Yung Marv
>>>
Wasn’t sure what ta expect wit this “basic”-soundin’ beat choice. I do like
that you luv gettin’ fucked up, tho, so I’ll give you that props, fa tha hook.
A slower-soundin’ Marv on tha 1st verse, here, comin’ through wit
some good shit fa tha bed, I guess? Tha 2nd verse sounds nice from
you, here, with tha shit you spittin’; good job… My Rating: 3.7
05.
“Bars 3”
>>> Of all beats, “Oochie Wally” from tha start of ’01? Random…; we
went from generic-soundin’ shit to throwback shit… Hearin’ tha verse & tha
“bars” sound good, as you keep tha consistency up. So glad you rap on original
BR beats, now; that’s why, you got this shit on lock…! My Rating: 3.5
06.
“No Peace”
>>> Hook str8; sad that we live in a peaceless world, smh… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse &
it str8; not much ta say but keep tha lyrics up… Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse & it str8, too, as you keep it goin’… Don’t think your “present life
feel like failure;” we call that jail & bein’ broke, a rock-bottom
experience I experienced last year. Now, tha success iz regeneratin’…! My Rating: 3.6
07.
“Optimistic” feat. GhostWryter
>>>
Typically-picked sample/hook, it seems like, here; beat aight, too. Hearin’ tha
1st verse from GhostWryter & I thought it was you, fa a sec.? It
sounds like he has happy energy, here. Got you on tha 2nd verse,
here, comin’ through wit str8 rhymes; it iz what it iz, I guess? My Rating: 3.1
08.
“Bars 4”
>>> Transitioned ta ’04 wit Flip; let’s see how you handle “Game
Over”… Sounds okay; nice rhymes, tho I expected you ta be more hyped-up? My Rating: 3.3
½time: A decent, jacked-beat
release, here…; only a 3.6 for tha ½time rating, so far. Let’s see how
you handle tha rest of it wit your great energy…
09.
“Fucked Up”
Producer:
Mouse
>>> A Mouse beat? Don’t recognize this one, fa some reason…? Either way,
tha hook & beginning sounds like what you brought to “2 Back”’s intro &
hook; good shit. Tha 1st verse sounds good; I feel what you
bringin’, here. There’s no dry reviewin’ goin’ on, here; you got dis, here…!
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it cool wit how you keepin’ tha 225 vibe
goin’; luv tha “loud weed, like a section fulla trombones!” I like tha “Gee
Money” part, where you paid tribute ta him & mixed it wit Young Wee-zo
& Dutch’s “Pills”, where you said, “You know, dumb!” My Rating: 4.3
10.
“Rich Nigga” (Yung Marv feat. A.u.)
Producer: Guss
>>>
Back to tha northeast beats (oh, I can’t wait
ta move away from tha northeast!)… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse
& it sounds like a good autobiography from you, here… Got Marv on tha 2nd
verse & he aight, here; just sounds too boring with tha vibe, tho. Like,
northeast shit? Just reminds me of, like, when my Louisiana
connection started in ’07 & I was like, “Ooh, Louisiana!” Now, it’s “Baton
Rouge, Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge!!” Hearin’ tha ending & was
that “Guss on tha keys…,” on tha end? Did he produce this & I mistook it as
a northeast vibe? I’ono but this just came outta me… My Rating: 2.9
11.
“HeartlessChallenge”
>>> Likin’ how this starts wit you on tha 1st verse, here;
keep tha fucked-up, euphoric vibes alive! Decent rhymes/verse, overall; you
know what it iz wit dis cool shit… Damn, this ended kinda fast; I’ono why I
expected more… My Rating: 3.9
12.
“Passenger” feat. Zae Zūs
>>>
Not anticipatin’ tha voice effect, on tha hook… A wack-soundin’ hook, tho good
lyrics about gettin’ “high.” Let’s
see what we got wit tha 1st verse from you, here… Sounds like an
okay verse; a lil’ dry on tha energy, here…; I give ya props. Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse & it sounds okay/generic from this Zae dude, here; an okay collab,
verse-wise? My Rating: 2.1
13.
“Count It Up” (King feat. A.u. & Dooda)
>>> Can’t tell tha gender of tha person on tha hook/beginning? “Yo
bitch ain’t bad…;” aight, it’s a dude. I’ono why I thought dude was a chick;
just sounds like it, just sayin’… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it
ain’t as female as I thought. Still, all this “Count It Up” shit sound like it
not fa me; this all err-body care about. It’s like, err-body don’t have
better/different/diverse lives from this & accidental kids, at a young age?
Either way, A.u. on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit decent
shit, here… Tha dude on tha 3rd verse ehh; coulda been betta on a
Baton Rouge-soundin’ track, rather than a typical-soundin’ track about money? My Rating: 1.3
14.
“Max B Wave” (Zae Zūs feat. A.u.)
>>> Sounds okay, on tha intro & beat start, here…; still, nothin’
but a “money” focus? Like, I have new music comin’ & it’s not focused on
tha “money;” it’s focused on bein’ in tha moment. You use tha “money” to invest
in tha project & just put out quality for tha media…! Either way, an okay 1st
verse from this Zae dude; nothin’ special, tho… Got you on tha 2nd
verse, here, feelin’ how you fulla dem “tabs” & shit; “you know it!” Lol @
how you say, “Between dem legs, I’m tastin’;” just came out randomly, lol… Also, props on “hot-boxin’ in tha car;” you
know what it iz…! My Rating: 2.4
15.
“Ventilation”
Producer: Guss
>>>
Sounds like a garbage beat; I don’t dig these samples in tha beats, as of when
I first got robbed. It’s like, dude who previously robbed me (and paid me back
almost seven years later) had music like dis & tried to ‘disguise’ tha
‘different’ side of BR. Why would I even show luv ta somethin’ like dat,
especially now that it’s 2020?! Either way, your rhymes are cool, tho; I give
them props. I like that “therapy in my chest,” when it comes to tha “herb;” you
know what it iz! Ooh, that was a “Guss Make My Beats” beat tag, toward tha end…
Guess I was right about tha other track? Luv Guss but like I said, in my honest
opinion, I can’t go for tha softly-produced shit… My Rating: 2.6
16.
“Where The Bud At” (Zae Zūs feat. A.u. & Dre Rich)
>>> Sounds like a dry beat ta end thangz off, here… Not really sayin’
that it’s ironic for tha beat ta be dry,
wit a title wit “bud” in it. Either way, Zae on tha 1st verse &
it a lil’ calm; dead energy? Tha hook sounds like an interlude; good ta have a
shmoke break to? Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse & it sounds good
wit how you continuously luv tha “bud!” Hearin’ tha 3rd verse &
this Dre dude sound aight; sounds like some good lyrics, tho a dry flow… My Rating: 3.0
Overall: Turned out ta be average
fa me, here, tho closer to tha below-average tip, due to tha jacked beats.
Either way, I know you betta wit tha music now but I was just givin’ you my
review on this one, right here, like I promised…
