Reviewed on 10.23.2009 (Review #328)

Watz good witcha? Ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog ‘bout ta do an anticipatin’, follow-up review right nah, ya dig! About a lil’ ova 2 months ago, I reviewed Lil’ Smoov Swagged Out. Afta tha review, I had a dream that I had ta REALLY hit up Uncle T (Tha Connect) on tha phone for tha 1st time, and good thing my dream told me to ‘cause he’s DEFINITELY one of my boyz, tha king of Crowley, LA I should say! Now, tha CD has been “reloaded” inta Swagged Out: Reloaded! I only know about tha “In Da Matrix (Remix)” (‘bout ta hear tha remix for tha 1st time), so let’s see what else iz on here (and I want a hard copy too)! Here goes my review fa Lil’ Smoov Swagged Out: Reloaded! Start Time: 12:01 PM | End Time: 1:43 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 or have auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Intro (Still Swagged Out)
Tha start of it all! Let’s get a refresh on dat boy Lil’ Smoov!! >>> I almost didn’t recognize tha voice at 1st, but it’s OFFICIAL; you know!! I featured him in my radio shift commercial ‘cause I KNOW dat I have this, I’ll feature him in my radio shift! Shit yea!! There’s rappin’ in this intro (mainly just a hook)!! If it was longer, I would’ve been able ta consider it a rating, but either way, DEFINITELY a REAL TIGHT intro!!! Gotta luv tha Rock elements in tha beat, as well as how you came on it!! If tha otha tracks on here are like this, then shit, you KNOW it gon be official!! My Rating: N/A


02. “In Da Matrix (Remix)” Feat. Lil’ Russ, Down Bad & Crowley Redd
On 1st listen of tha original, I felt a **PERFECT RATING** of 5.0/5.0!!! Now, wit Down Bad on it, let’s see which Down Bad members made this one, as well as gettin’ dat REAL GR8 vibe for it!!! >>> Yea, DEFINITELY soundin’ hot here, ESPECIALLY tha hook once again!! Str8 jiggalatin’ on y’all asses!! Tha 1st verse iz JR Dot of Down Bad, REALLY doin’ it big!!! This iz like HIS time ta shine BIG right now!! REAL GR8 job, and Terror of Down Bad iz up next on tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse, rappin’ ‘bout tha different colors of dem jiggaz; REAL TIGHT from him too!!! Here’s tha 2nd verse from you, Smoov!! DEFINITELY crazy on tha rappin’ here, Crowley & Baton Rouge connection!! Should’ve changed tha lyrics at tha end of tha verse ‘cause you said, “wit my nigga Russ;” dat “dude” (for those that don’t know) was originally on this. Either way, it all good though ‘cause only tha people that know that part’ll know. Crowley Redd doin’ tha damn thang on tha 3rd verse!! DEFINITELY be lookin’ forward ta radio editin’ this!! I got my 6th radio shift tomorrow, so you KNOW I’ll be radio editin’ this song! As for this remix, REAL GOOD, and I’m REAL GLAD it had Down Bad on it. I did like tha original version betta, I guess ‘cause I originally luved how RAW Russ came on tha verse. It all good though ‘cause it’s a REAL GOOD rating, regardless! My Rating: 4.8


03. “All Of Dat”
Looks like a sequel to “In Da Matrix” wit its title; let’s see what’s good here!! >>> Yea, by tha beat intro, it’s DEFINITELY soundin’ GR8!! Sounds like Shonta on tha track? Yea, you’re DEFINITELY STILL “in da matrix!” Soundin’ GR8, ESPECIALLY how he addin’ “shit yea” in this song! I’m guessin’ I heard tha hook 1st? Gr8 job here, and you’re doin’ tha damn thang on tha 1st verse!! Almost remind me of Savage wit tha way you’re flowin’ here. Nice job spittin’ FLAMES on tha 1st verse, and yea, it was tha hook in tha beginning; sounds GR8!! You KNOW I luv my Louisiana Rap music!! Glad you “went platinum in tha hood” wit your last mixtape, as you’re spittin’ dat hot shit on tha 2nd verse too!! My Rating: 4.3


04. “Block My Shine”
NOBODY’LL “block YOUR shine,” ya dig!! NOTHIN’ iz stoppin’ you, ESPECIALLY wit Tha Connect/TreWayz Entertainment behind yo back!! I bet this song gon prove EXACTLY what I just said! >>> This iz a repeat song from tha last mixtape. Not only that, it was my least rated… On 1st listen, I gave it 2.4, but it sounds BETTA this time! Maybe it was reworked? I liked tha talkin’ in tha beginning wit all tha “bruh”s, as well as tha 1st verse givin’ facts about you. Tha 2nd verse sounds like you got a gr8 future, and yea, just like I said in tha beginning, you mentioned TreWayz Entertainment, so that’s DEFINITELY a plus! Good hook too ta fit this, and once again, nice job fixin’ up this song ‘cause tha rating went up OVER 50%!! My Rating: 3.8


05. “My Life” Feat. Vicious
Tha ID looked familiar, as well as tha feature. First listen was 3.8, but it’s soundin’ betta again! Once again, GR8 “bruh” parts in tha beginning wit tha talkin’ ta introduce tha song, and tha beat sounds nice for a slowbie! Doin’ a nice job on tha 1st verse, as you’re just REALLY keepin’ it street! I believe tha whole song sounds tha same ‘cause I rememba tha hook… Tha hook (once again) sounds pretty good wit tha female backin’ up. And afta tha 1st hook, Vicious iz on tha 2nd verse. DEFINITELY feelin’ Vicious’s flow, rhymes, and shit here on tha 2nd verse; DEFINITELY a nice job!! You’re on tha 3rd verse, and it’s str8 up lyrics about you bein’ daddyless. It sux, but think of it this way: I have a dad, but he just DELAYS, DELAYS, DELAYS when it comes ta doin’ shit. It’s annoyin’, but whateva. My Current Rating: 3.9


06. “Stunt Hard”
Only rated this one a 3.1 on 1st listen… Just lookin’ at my previous rating alone, I can rememba this one. I rememba there bein’ a vocal sample or somethin’ throughout tha beat? Lemme get a 2nd listen… >>> It didn’t sound that bad in tha beginning. It wasn’t a vocal sample, but it was Auto-Tune in tha hook? It sounds like Drake & Lil’ Wayne or some shit… Once again, tha rhymes are DEFINITELY gr8, and I DEFINITELY feel betta than 3.1 on this right now! You’re just gutta wit it, and tha 2nd verse iz provin’ it, as you’re definin’ how you “stunt hard,” as well as them “stuntless” people that can’t touch you, ya dig! Yea, you DEFINITELY “got it poppin’ like dem fireworks on New Year’s!” My Current Rating: 3.8


07. “Swagged Out”
I KNOW this was a biggie fa me! For those that missed: Sounds like a good beat for tha intro here! Tha talkin’ in tha beginning gets me anticipated, and when you say, “you see these Coogi pants? And how I let ‘em sag,” I have a HUGE expectation of feelin’ this a WHOLE LOT, so tha hook iz DEFINITELY watz good!! “Swagged out” to tha fullest wit dat Coogi, ya dig!! Tha 1st verse here, and keepin’ it fresh ALL OVA YO BODY!! Even got sum “LRG” on these hataz, ya dig! DEFINITELY feelin’ tha 1st verse! Here comes tha 2nd verse here, and I like tha “bread longer than a phone card” and tha “pills” part; thumbs up to tha fullest!! Real nice 2nd verse too, ESPECIALLY “lettin’ ya shit sag” at tha end!! To Add: REAL GLAD this one made it onta here!! Gotta like tha “circlin’ like a 0” part (I think that’s what you said)! My Current Rating: 4.6


08. “Still Swagged Out” Feat. Ron G
How PERFECT for a sequel, back 2 back, lol! This should HOPEFULLY be just as good as tha 1st one, I’m assumin’!! >>> I was just ‘bout ta say, “Ain’t this tha intro beat?” REAL GLAD it’s a FULL SONG now!!! Still has dat GR8 Rock vibe in tha beat and err-thang; REAL GOOD/GUTTA hook!! This prolly a 1st time that it was a preview in tha intro, and on tha same mixtape, it became a FULL song!! You’re TOO GUTTA, to where you “make religious people pop a pill;” TOO FUCKIN’ CRAZY!!!!! Just str8 GUTTA, “still swagged out,” “in tha matrix,” and all those GR8 thingz ta describe you on this song!!! An unknown featured artist fa me on tha 2nd verse, but he doin’ his thang!! Gotta luv these voices on these Louisiana rappers; they’re just TOO gutta!! He stayin’ fresh and shit, doin’ tha damn thang!! Well, I figured out dat it was Ron G at tha end (‘cause he said his name), so thumbs up on tha correction! My Rating: 4.7


09. “I’m On It” Feat. Vetta
Anotha newbie for me… I hope you come through REAL GRIMY wit dat featured artist of yours!! >>> Even “STILL swagged out” in tha intro, lol. Vetta iz a female, and she sounds pretty good in tha beginning. You soundin’ good on tha 1st verse; regular paced Rap shit right here! LOL @ tha endin’ to tha 1st verse wit “asshole,” lol! Soundin’ regular on tha 2nd verse too; I enjoy your rhymes at all times, best belie’ dat! Doin’ a nice job on tha 3rd verse; much more on a street level here wit tha “poppin’ pills” and all tha shit you be spittin’ here. Definitely likin’ this verse right here, as I LUV when my rappers keep it street!! My Rating: 4.0


10. “Cruxify Shows” Feat. Ron G
This one only 2:27 long, and whateva that “C” word in tha title iz, it has me anticipated, ESPECIALLY wit Ron G on this! Let’s see how good we got it!! >>> Iz that a Lil’ Keke sample or somethin’ in tha beginning? It made me think of him ‘cause his name comes up on tha artist name wit Down Bad on all tha tracks on here (in tha info). Either way, cool hook, and tha 1st verse DEFINITELY keepin’ it gutta here!! Gotta LUV when there’s drug type of lyrics goin’ on!! Ron G doin’ a nice job startin’ off tha 2nd verse, “smokin’ $50 blunts, …and tha most expensive marijuana;” tight part right there, my boy! NICE contributing, and while I heard tha verse bein’ short, I rememba’d dat tha song was short itself…; it’s ending as I speak. My Rating: 4.4


½time: Nice shit right here!! Looks real good wit all tha songs, doin’ it B.I.G.!! You got GR8 rappers on your side when it comes ta this shit, and I’m glad you fuck wit tha 225!! Wit tha last CD, tha average CD rating was a nice 4.1! However, wit this CD, tha average CD rating for tha ½time went up! That’s right……… 4.3!!


11. “Wife Dat” Feat. Young Threatt
I KNOW I gon luv tha featured artist, I can tell already!! This looks like it’ll be a real catchy song for tha streetz, clubs, etc., so I gon be anticipated right now!! >>> Cool intro… I think I know this beat? Yea, I know what tha beat iz (it’s jacked), but I don’t rememba… I’m slowly rememberin’ though; good hook, as it’s catchy. Nice job on tha 1st verse, and tha hook iz DEFINITELY catchy wit both y’all goin’ back n’ forth on tha hook! You’re on tha 2nd verse also, keepin’ it trill. Nice job on tha 2nd verse; this was anotha short song, but good! My Rating: 4.2
EDIT: I don’t think I exactly rememba tha beat, but it sounds like “Top Back” or somethin’. I think I had reviewed someone else in tha past wit a beat like this, and I couldn’t exactly ID it; I don’t know.


12. “Shakeback” Feat. Young Threatt
A double “threatt” here, lol! Now that it’s a lil’ ova a minute longer, let’s see how betta this song; I like tha title! >>> I heard Swiss Beatz in tha beginning, but I don’t think this iz jacked or nothin’; sounds REAL GOOD in tha start!! This iz DEFINITELY Baton Rouge style at its finest here!!! Gotta feel tha whole “shakebackin’!!” Young Threatt on tha hook again wit you; DEFINITELY a nice combination formula!! You’re on tha 1st verse, and it’s DEFINITELY soundin’ REAL GOOD, fa real!!! This iz DEFINITELY a street, club, hood anthem (like I predicted wit tha last song, lol)!! Gotta luv all tha “rollin’” shit goin’ on at tha end of tha 1st verse!! Gotta luv tha “let dat alcohol,” and “let dem pillz” parts in tha hook!! I think about 200 words went by before I could say anything about tha 2nd verse, LMAO!! It’s just TOOOOOOOOOO tight ‘cause it’s VERY, VERY fast wit Young Threatt FINALLY spittin’ a verse!! REAL, REAL CRAZY!!! Wit tha like 500 words he just rapped, they were NUTS!!! Luv tha hook once again!!! Yes, 32 seconds left wit a bridge! I like tha “shit yea” shit in tha bridge too! REAL GR8 here ta where it surpassed tha “In Da Matrix (Remix)”!!! My Rating: 4.9


13. “That’s Me” Feat. Ron G & Big Bizness Snoop
Yea, keep these songs comin’!! Glad you threw this one on here too!! As I said previously, I didn’t expect a jacked beat, but unlike tha original version, this should be MUCH betta than tha Chopper City Boyz “Bubblegum” song (which iz what beat this iz)! Nice hook, since it’s you! You on tha 1st verse, referrin’ to how it was in your schools; thumbs up to you on that 1st verse! Here’s tha 2nd verse right here, keepin’ it consistent from G! I like tha “frog” part at tha end of tha verse; good shit! Mr. Snoop on tha 3rd verse here, keepin’ it “100” wit tha shit he be spittin’ here! Definitely liked his voice and style on that verse right there! My Current Rating: 4.4


14. “Bound”
Checked tha title, and tha “to get it” iz subtracted this time from tha title, lol. But yea, for those readin’, here’s tha original version of what I said: Here comes an “Ain’t I” beat; let’s see how you do… Real interestin’ rhymes here; soundin’ GR8 as a freestyle!! You’re not 21 yet (as you said “by 21, I prolly see a mill”)? You sound good fa bein’ younger than me! To Add: Tha rhymes are DEFINITELY hot here, and I’m gonna rewrite what I think of tha 2nd verse since I didn’t say much on tha 1st review. Tha rhymes in tha 2nd verse are just as good as tha 1st verse; just deliverin’ shit that doesn’t stop!! I like it betta than my 4.0 1st rating! My Current Rating: 4.2


15. “Coogi Hat”
I KNOW a “Coogi” title when I see one, ya dig! Glad it made it on here, as I was this excited when I reviewed it previously: That’s Boosie on tha sample, lol. He sounds nice and slow on this shit, lol! Yuck @ you “doin’ your dougie;” at least you jiggin’ though! Pretty good rhymes right here! I thought you was gon be 100+% about tha clothes and shit in tha verse. Here comes tha 2nd verse here, as you have “tha hit of tha moment” as I’m listenin’ ta this, ya dig; I agree. Great job on tha 2nd verse too! My Current Rating: 4.3


16. “Fuck Wit Me”
I like titles when they’re like this; you KNOW I “fuck wit” my Louisiana peeps to tha fullest!! It keeps me REAL, REAL motivated when it comes ta doin’ thingz!! >>> A lil’ different in tha beginning… I HOPE there’s no Auto-Tune!! A lil’ on tha R&B style wit tha beat. I knew it was based off a 90’s R&B song. I like tha “uh huh” shit in tha hook as it adds a lil’ bit of Crunk to it, lol. Above average so far, so it’s acceptable. It’s for tha females (I thought it would be for your boyz), and tha 1st verse lets err-body know what YOU want when it comes to a lady! Nice job on tha 1st verse, and tha 2nd verse adds dat mysterious R&B singer here and there, which sounded good. Too bad dat verse was short… Tha 3rd verse was pretty good too. I’m goin’ “lol” and feelin’ tha “uh huh” shit in tha hook still, lol!! My Rating: 4.2


17. “Guns High”
It AIN’T forgotten now! Again, it’s an okay beat you chose that was Ace Hood & R. City’s; let’s see how good you are… Of course, that 1st verse couldn’t last 5 SECONDS without you doin’ tha damn thang!!! You got a GR8 attitude wit this shit, and tha rhymes are just GR8 that you spittin’!! Nice job on tha 2nd verse wit that real street shit. To Add: I’m surprised DatPiff kept it. Usually, they delete songs wit original samples in ‘em… Tha rappin’ iz just TOO CRAZY fa just a 3.9 dat I gave originally!! My Current Rating: 4.1


18. “On Me (Instrumental)”
Now, I rememba seein’ this title… I said wit “Stunt Hard” that there was a female sample in tha background or somethin’; I think it’s this song. >>> Yup. Only problem iz… It’s just tha beat cryin’! There’s NO rappin’, talkin’, NOTHIN’, so this iz disaster to tha rating! I put “instrumental” in tha ID so it gives a warnin’ ta people! I like tha instrumental more than my rating, but my rating iz here ‘cause of how I was tricked, lol! My Rating: 1.2


19. “U Got”
Can you rap again? Maybe you had ta breathe for a second! >>> Okay, at least there’s talkin’ in tha beginning. Okay beat start, but I don’t know how much I’ll feel this song. Tha beginnin’ to tha 1st verse sounded familiar, but all my low rated songs from tha last CD already came up, so this must be new. Good job on tha 1st verse. Tha verse kinda sounds deadly on tha vocals, but it actually iz pretty good fa me, so I’ll give it a plus. Still deliverin’ what you came back from tha 1st verse, doin’ a pretty good job. I hear talkin’ towards tha last 40 seconds… I like tha “bruh” and “dawg” part, as well as you shoutin’ out “Uncle T” too! Gotta luv when you talk at times, and I’m glad you holdin’ it down! My Rating: 3.7


20. “Ya Miss Me”
I sure AM afta this song! But, I shouldn’t worry ‘cause you’ll prolly EASILY be back fa more, ya dig!! Let’s see these last 143 seconds… >>> Tha beat sounds good; nearly familiar. Pretty good beginning/hook. Tha 1st verse iz soundin’ good, rappin’ what’ll happen if buku shit happened (e.g., “when you die,” although you AIN’T dyin’!)! Nice job on tha 1st verse, and you’re doin’ tha damn thang here! Tha 2nd verse iz DEFINITELY on tha Rap tip here, as you’re just keepin’ it ALL THA WAY street!! “Stand tall and shine like tha Taco Bell sign;” gr8 shit!! My Rating: 4.0


Overall: Really, I’m so sad that it ended! But, it was DEFINITELY worth me sittin’ on tha computer fa 1 hour, 42 minutes typin’ this up AND listenin’ ta your mixtape, ya dig! I know err-body at TreWayz Entertainment gon luv dis one, so KEEP doin’ tha damn thang!! Oh, and P.S.: Tha last CD had an average CD rating of 4.0. Well, it went UP, my dawg! Find out at tha bottom how high it went up!!

© 2009 CD Review (Review #290) reviewed on 8.17.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "Swagged Out"
EXTREMELY CLUELESS on what to expect... This iz a 1st time hearin'! >>> Sounds like a good beat for tha intro here! Tha talkin' in tha beginning gets me anticipated, and when you say, "you see these Coogi pants? And how I let 'em sag," I have a HUGE expectation of feelin' this a WHOLE LOT, so tha hook iz DEFINITELY watz good!! "Swagged out" to tha fullest wit dat Coogi, ya dig!! Tha 1st verse here, and keepin' it fresh ALL OVA YO BODY!! Even got sum "LRG" on these hataz, ya dig! DEFINITELY feelin' tha 1st eva verse I heard from you! Here comes tha 2nd verse here, and I like tha "bread longer than a phone cord" and tha "pills" part; thumbs up to tha fullest!! Real nice 2nd verse too, ESPECIALLY "lettin' ya shit sag" at tha end! My Rating: 4.5


02. "In Da Matrix" Feat. Lil' Russ & Crowley Redd
I heard this iz a HUGE SONG from so-called Lil' Russ, who was 'pose ta call me back July 10 (shit, that ova a month ago already?). He hasn't sent me anything in tha mail, so I don't know how I gon help him out. But now, I get ta hear it on here!! >>> Tha hook iz DEFINITELY nice, as well as that hook!! Oh wait, that was just tha intro! Now, it's tha hook (wit tha "rollin', rollin', rollin'" shit); REAL, REAL TIGHT!! That's Lil' Russ on tha 1st verse... Glad he rapid-fire wit this Rap shit!! EXTREMELY jiggalated here on this verse, so that's a MEGA plus!! A REAL, REAL NICE JOB on that 1st verse!!! Tha 2nd verse iz here (as I still can't get enough of tha Lil' Russ verse) from you, Smoov, doin' tha damn thang wit this attitude on tha rhymin'!! You did yo thang on that verse, pickin' up from where Russ left off!! This tha 337, so this iz sum REAL NICE borderline 225 shit that sounds REAL, REAL GREAT!!! Let's see what Crowley got on tha 3rd verse... NO DECENT SHIT HERE!!! "Gettin' loaded" on this shit "wit his whoadie," so you KNOW this shit iz on and poppin'!!! Really "gone in tha zone" (as it was repeated 3x) on this shit here!! REAL INCREDIBLE 1st listen!! Baton Rouge mixtapes BETTA NOT ignore this song 'cause that would be a REAL BAD look!! Anywayz, perfect song!! My Rating: 5.0


03. "On Me"
Just you on this shit right here wit only 2:27 on tha length, exactly 2 minutes shorter than tha last song... Hope you TEAR IT UP!!! >>> Yuck, bad start. "Let tha beat cry?" I don't wanna hear cryin'! I luv hearin' "bruh" and "dawg" in songs; you put them in tha intro ta make me get into this, lol. Fa real, I can't stand high-pitched female vocals in tha background of songs; it sounds real gay in my opinion! Either way, tha rappin' iz DEFINITELY on fire! Tha "AT&T" part was NICE!! Really tight 2nd verse too; fired up rappin'!! Due to tha REAL HOT rappin', tha rating ain't that bad for me. My Rating: 3.4


04. "Stunt Hard"
Looks like it gon be good; lookin' forward to this one! >>> Nope, anotha thumbs down fa me. Tha last song wasn't much of a thumbs down due to it grew on me wit tha rhymes. However, not likin' tha beginning/hook at all wit tha aight beat + Auto-Tune'd vocals! It sounds like Lil' Wayne towards tha end of it? But, at least tha rappin' iz normal here on tha 1st verse; you doin' yo thang! "Connected like laptops;" tight shit! I like tha "outta style" part too; great 1st verse here!! Really doin' tha damn thang on tha hooks! Great job on this 2nd verse here; str8 fire wit tha rhymes!! Yea, you DEFINITELY "got it poppin' like tha fireworks on New Year's!" My Rating: 3.1


05. "Guns High"
Only 2:36 on tha length here; let's see... >>> Okay beat you chose that was Ace Hood & R. City's; let's see how good you are... Of course, that 1st verse couldn't last 5 SECONDS without you doin' tha damn thang!!! You got a GR8 attitude wit this shit, and tha rhymes are just GR8 that you spittin'!! Nice job on tha 2nd verse wit that real street shit. My Rating: 3.9
EDIT: Because there was no official title on tha tracklisting, I just named it afta tha Ace Hood/R. City original track.


06. "Go Getta"
Sure you are (as I originally read tha title as "Bound To Get It")... Keep pushin' ya name out there!! >>> Title error? This iz #6, and it's sayin' "go getta" all in tha hook, which iz REAL HOT!! Tha title on tha tracklisting says "Bound To Get It" instead. Either way, you DEFINITELY got tha gr8 rappin' here wit tha gr8 attitude! Tha 2nd verse here already, and you REALLY inta tha gurlz here! Great voice fa this shit; str8 shit for tha hood! My Rating: 4.3


07. "Bound To Get It"
Not sure of tha title here, so lemme see what gon come out... >>> Here comes an "Ain't I" beat; let's see how you do... Real interestin' rhymes here; soundin' GR8 as a freestyle!! You're not 21 yet (as you said "by 21, I prolly see a mill")? You sound good fa bein' younger than me! Either way, tha title iz "Bound To Get It" (unlike on tha tracklisting, it says "I'm Extra"). I guess that one ova tha Ace Hood/R. City beat has a TBA title for now, which pushed each track down by 1 on tha tracklisting. Either way, nice job on tha 2nd verse too; gotta feel this shit you be spittin'!! My Rating: 4.0


08. "I'm Extra"
No clue what ta expect... Prolly over someone else's beat again. >>> Not sure if it exactly iz, but it's a nice start!! I like tha "*sound effect* like openin' up a Sprite bottle" line! Great job on your great 1st verse!! I like tha whole "test" shit in tha hook; REAL CATCHY hook!!! "100/100 on my wardrobe! 105/100 on my swag!" Interestin' room lyrics in tha 2nd verse, as well as your rhyme skillz; REAL NICE towards tha end of it!! REAL TIGHT hook on this GR8 track right here!! My Rating: 4.4


½time: Pretty good start so far! Afta tha 1st 2 songs, I was really hopin' tha whole mixtape was original shit, but it somewhat mixed. At least your rappin' iz DEFINITELY on a REAL NICE level here, ya dig!! Average CD rating iz currently 4.1!


09. "No More" Feat. X-Rated
What happened to X-Rated? Don't say, "he got shot/murdered," 'cause I'll get sick to my stomach! Sorry ta hear he died! Hope he spits sum HOT SHIT on this (hopefully original) track wit you!! >>> Sounds nice and undaground in tha beginning wit tha quality; nice beat & hook! You on tha 1st verse; you KNOW you doin' tha damn thang!! REAL SHIT right here that's NICE & FAST!!! Glad this original fa me, and tha rappin' just goes on SOOOOOO much!!! I really like tha "grade #'s" in your verse (referin' to "8th grade," etc.)! REAL NICE 1st verse, and tha hook iz REAL NICE too!! Here that boy X-Rated on tha 2nd verse, doin' THA DAMN THANG HERE!!! Just like you on tha 1st verse, he REAL, REAL fast!! Even faster than you on this shit!!! Real gangsta shit right here as well as jiggalatin' too!! Damn, just TOO FUCKIN' TIGHT!!! Why'd he have ta die?!? Tha 3rd verse here, and LOTS of "real recognize real" shit goin' on here; gotta show off NOTHIN' but tha real!! Real nice 3rd verse too, as well as that acapella at 3:30 at tha end of it! My Rating: 4.7


10. "That's Me" Feat. Ron G & Big Bizness Snoop
Looks like tha collaborations gon take ova tha 2nd 1/2 of tha CD!!! Lookin' forward ta this one too!! >>> I didn't expect a jacked beat, but unlike tha original version, this should be MUCH betta than tha Chopper City Boyz "Bubblegum" song (which iz what beat this iz)! Nice hook, since it's you! You on tha 1st verse, referrin' to how it was in your schools again; thumbs up to you on that 1st verse! I like tha mixin' in tha 2nd hook wit tha "me--me--nigga--nigga--me--me," etc. part; nice mixin'! Here's tha 2nd verse right here, keepin' it consistent from G! I like tha "frog" part at tha end of tha verse; good shit! Mr. Snoop on tha 3rd verse here, keepin' it "100" wit tha shit he be spittin' here! Definitely liked his voice and style on that verse right there! My Rating: 4.4


11. "My Life" Feat. Vicious
I wonder how this collaboration came about... Either way, it a plus! 4:57 on tha length here too! Wit a legend + a length for tha song, it betta be original, and HOPEFULLY not what beat I think it iz!! >>> Good that it original. Hope it gets betta wit tha slow start here... Glad tha beat good now (sounds like a down South Rap version of a Keyshia Cole beat), and it sounds like you doin' a nice job deliverin' that street shit in tha 1st verse! Pretty good 1st verse right there from you; always comin' through wit tha nice flow! Hook iz aight ta me. Not that bad, although not really feelin' tha background singin'. Here's Vicious on tha 2nd verse here, doin' his thang (as always) on these features that I see him on! All tha shit he be spittin' iz nice; glad he collaborated wit you! You're back here on tha 3rd verse, deliverin' more street shit here (as always)! Pretty good joint right here. My Rating: 3.8


12. "I Remember"
Sequel to tha last song? >>> Nice beat start here; let's see when tha beat kicks in... Okay, soundin' pretty good. Glad you still rappin' 'bout "school" here; you still in school or college now? You have ta be college by now... You said, "5th grade. Then, a year lata... Now, 3 years lata, look where I am;" so, are you only in 9th grade? Pretty good hook, and tha 2nd verse here, soundin' like you have great socializin' wit peeps. Hate ta say it, but it tha complete opposite wit me. I have Autism, and it's quite sad how I don't socialize wit many people face-to-face. You don't know HOW JEALOUS I get when I hear people socializin' and shit all tha time! It's like, as much as people are REAL GREEDY for money, I'm REAL, REAL GREEDY for active socializin' and loyalty 'cause it REAL HARD fa me ta achieve! I'm glad Louisiana people (networkin') iz helpin' me socialize and shit, ESPECIALLY on tha phone; it REALLY helps! LOL @ your ending to tha 2nd verse wit "get ya social game up;" thanx, and good job on tha 2nd verse! Still keepin' it good on tha 3rd verse wit this shit! Glad you gave a history on shit here; I'm definitely likin' this!! My Rating: 4.3


13. "Coogi Hat"
Oh, what a nice title! I KNOW it a MAJOR PLUS already!! Let's see how different this iz from Foxx's "Coogi Down"! >>> Not sure if that's one of our Louisiana peeps on tha sample (I forget), but it's a NICE sample for this shit, as well as that beat ta go wit it!! Neva mind, that Boosie on tha sample, lol. He sounds nice and slow on this shit, lol! Yuck @ you "doin' your dougie;" at least you jiggin' though! Pretty good rhymes right here! I thought you was gon be 100+% about tha clothes and shit in tha verse. Here comes tha 2nd verse here, as you have "tha hit of tha moment" as I'm listenin' ta this, ya dig; I agree. Great job on tha 2nd verse too! My Rating: 4.2


14. "Honey Dip" Feat. JR Writer
I know this original version (Diplomats style); let's see what you add to it... >>> You doin' a not bad job on this. Not sure of my interest level as it's not an original... An aight 1st verse from you. Featuring Hell Rell? That's JR Writer on tha 2nd verse. You're on tha 3rd verse, so I gon fix tha error right now. A lil' betta from your 3rd verse, but there ain't much interest from me in this... My Rating: 2.7


15. "Block My Shine" Feat. C.Y.
I like how there's a defender in tha title (tha word "block"); this should be interestin' ta hear from you!! >>> Why tha R&B (like it special) intro? Bad snap beat here, but good synth. Yuck @ focusin' on tha "snappin'" in tha hook. That last song version was not for me, and this iz just worse for me. A somewhat aight/good 1st verse from you. No featured singer ID? A lil' betta flow on tha 2nd verse; good lyrics for this song. A featured rapper on tha 3rd verse too (he said, "C.Y.," so I gon put that in tha ID)... Soundin' good for this track I guess. My Rating: 2.4


16. "Tribute To X-Rated (R.I.P. Brailon Jamal Webster)"
I'ma try and be nice wit this one... Just, don't be too depressin' on me for an ending song to this mixtape! >>> LOL, tha beat ain't depressin' at all, and it sounds nice and undaground on tha quality!! I got a lil' smile here! Sounds like X-Rated samples in this? Somewhat different hook; I'll accept how it sounds. Tha females actually sound pretty catchy on tha hook. Tha 1st verse here, and it soundin' pretty good. Soundin' pretty long for a 1st verse? Lot goin' on here, which I somewhat am not able ta keep up wit. However, nice job wit tha rappin'! Okay, tha verse ended, so tha hook here again, and accordin' to it, there was snitchin' involved in how he died? That sux if that true! Tha 2nd verse here, and it sounds like you exposin' sum fake shit out there vs. your real shit; I feel you on this verse! Nice job on tha verse, but I don't know how this has ta do SO much wit X-Rated... I prolly could've had a better idea wit a beat like this too. It sounded like you were really rappin' about yourself towards tha end. Iz that 'pose ta be X-Rated rappin' at tha end? I can tell... It DEFINITELY sum TIGHT-ASS shit!!! Glad that it's acapella!! "Like I was neva scared, like I was Bone Crusher; I'ma bone-crush ya!" Talk about HOT SHIT!!! GREAT ENDING part from X-Rated!!! My Rating: 4.1


Overall: Well, pretty good mixtape for a 1st time hearin' Smoov. DEFINITELY a great rapper though!! Most of tha songs on here were a plus, so that's watz good! Keep doin' ya thang out there, and HOPEFULLY no more deaths!!!
