Review #1,510: Sam I Am "Trunk Musik"

Reviewed on 7.11.2016 (Review #1,510)

Keepin’ tha reviewz comin’ along, I’m surprised I’m doin’ a total of four today! When was tha last time that happened in a day? Work been kickin’ me in tha ass; gotta hustle!! I got Sam I Am, here, with his Trunk Musik release, which was released on Christmas Day, 2015, now on No Limit Forever Records & OJ Entertainment. May seem like it was 6 ½ months ago it was released, right? Well, tha day after its release, that was tha last time I was off two dayz a week! Been on six dayz a week since January 2, where I was ‘pose to only work two Saturdays, it’s now 26!! Like, what tha…? Plus, I’m now only opening with one other person instead of two, let alone, my fuckin’ enemy who gives me horrible anxiety!! I’ll neva see Saturdays off, or even two dayz off, anytime soon! But, enough of dat! Lemme go ‘head and hear Mr. Sam I Am, some1 who’s always been puttin’ in dat work!! He neva ages; hope he continues ta do dis shit!! Shout out ta Justin Provosty, who now manages him! Start Time: 5:53 PM | End Time: 7:08 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 use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

Link To CD: http://www.datpiff.com/Sam-I-Am-Trunk-Musik-mixtape.755648.html

01. “Robbers (Intro)”

Sam’s known fa his short-but-sweet tracks; this gon be anotha one! An intro, no less! >>> What a way ta start!! A J Buc beat!! Excellent fa this 2K16!! Interestin’-soundin’ beat and, of course, you goin’ off on this beat, Sam! Luv your grimy style, includin’ how you’re at a slower pace on this one! Gotta keep doin’ tha damn thang when you be on tha mic!! Excellent job on tha verse, providin’ a nice intro fa this Trunk Musik!! My Rating: 4.6

02. “Loaded” feat. Level

Ooh, here we go!! Level on tha feature!! No wonder where all my energy comes from!! EQ Tha Misfit on tha production!!! >>> Sounds like it gon be serious, here; anticipatin’ it!! Gotta luv tha energetic vibe on tha hook, here!! Tha beat sounds like a hot street anthem, despite it bein’ a pill-poppin’ anthem; luv tha combo!! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and, of course, you really got this shit goin’ on!! “Go, light tha weed up;” shit yeah!! Ooh, tha “Yeahhhhhhhhhhh…”s in tha background before tha 2^nd verse; Level!!! Here he comes, “out [his] body” on tha 2^nd verse; luv it!! Can’t deny him; NEVER!!!!! Luv how he always on shit!! One of my favorites ever!!! Glad he been doin’ this shit fa a decade and still goin’!! Gonna be nice and give it a ***PERFECT RATING***; it deserves it!! My Rating: 5.0

03. “YNCFWM” feat. Mr. Serv-On, Flight Boy & Gangsta

Switchin’ it up to a N’awlinz collab; leggo!! >>> Ugh, these producers!! Lil’ 627 on tha beat; formerly had an issue wit him with him not claimin’ his 2010 awards. However, that shit’s way better than tha bullshit I deal wit at work, to tell you tha truth!! Still, I don’t give people other peoples’ music! But, it’s soundin’ great wit you on tha 1^st verse, here! Gotta have dat energy, strictly livin’ it up!! Hope you neva give this shit up!! Can’t believe you’re older than tha age Nu$$ie died; where has tha time gone?! Like, I’m 28?! “Y’all Niggaz Can’t Fuck Wit Me” iz what tha title stands for; nice hook, Sam! Here we go wit a legend on tha 2^nd verse (Serv-On); definitely sounds nice ta hear wit you & 627, here! Now, switchin’ it up ta Flight Boy on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 2^nd verse, here; good shit!! It’s all about tha hustle! Can’t give tha six dayz a week up ‘cause my enemy gon win!! She wants me to give it up but I’d rather have tha strength ta defeat her and continue!! Oh, a 3^rd verse, here; good shit! Oh, an uncredited feature and I guessed right: Gangsta! Shit yeah, good job wit tha hidden feature!! Dumb shit!! Almost thought you said, “I’m a fool in tha Boot,” but you said, “I’m a fool in tha booth,” lol. My Rating: 4.8

04. “I’ma Dog” feat. Da Jiggalaters

Recognized tha title from tha Big Scoob Jones Back 2 Da Streets CD, but he did dat one solo! This got all Da Jiggalaters on tha feature! Different song? Let’s see; should still ace it!! >>> Samplin’ tha Boosie track, here; can’t believe that Boosie song’s seven years-old!! Got Lil’ Boonie—not Boosie, lol, on tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through wit dat street shit to tha fullest!! You already know!!! Just luv tha consistent energy, here, though no producer listed? Here you are on tha 2^nd verse, Sam, comin’ through, makin’ it “go down;” you already know!! Here comes tha Jigga City King (Scoob) on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit dat grimy shit—dat street shit!! “Bouncin’ on tha balls!” LOL! My Rating: 4.9

05. “Sweatin’” feat. D-So

This one look a lil’ familiar, too? EQ Tha Misfit doin’ tha production! From Sam’s The Shake Back CD… D-So on tha feature on there; what about this CD? >>> Still sounds crazy from tha 1^st time!! What I had ta say tha 1^st time:

“Ooh, EQ doin’ a nice job on this beat! Crazy “popped a molly, I’m sweatin’” shit in tha hook; crazy shit! You got tha shit goin’ on nicely in tha 1^st verse, comin’ through like a wild man!! Tha 2^nd verse’s startin’ wit a Tupac-like flow, revising his shit. Usually, I’m not big about revising dead rappers, but you did it nicely wit tha pillz! Ooh, a feature from D-So on tha 3^rd verse; good shit, includin’ bein’ anotha pill-poppin’ animal; gotta luv it!! If you don’t luv a pill-poppin’ dude, you fucked up!! I’m talkin’ ‘bout tha ones born before me!! Great shit; luv when you team up wit peeps, Sam!”

And yeah, a surprise, uncredited verse from D-So on tha 3^rd verse, once again!! My Current Rating: 4.9

06. “I Ain’t Goin’ Back 2 Jail” feat. Dolla Bill

Dolla Bill, a.k.a. Last Man Production, tha dude behind a bunch of classic tracks from Baton Rouge’s Dog & Tech. Now, just like a bunch of dudes, name changed ta somethin’ wit money in it. Not sayin’ I fuck wit it but as long as tha sound’s still here, I’m fuckin’ wit it! >>> Definitely a nice beat start, here; wonder if Dolla Bill on tha beat, too? Here he iz, kickin’ off this song wit tha 1^st verse… Yeah, I’m feelin’ tha “searched” while “pulled over” shit; been there! Shit may be rough, but you gotta have confidence, at times! When I deal wit my enemy at my job, I don’t have confidence, and claim that gettin’ “pulled over”’s less-stressful, lol? Crazy! Tha hook sounds nice; sounds like one of those random songs from tha Internet that I’d only have, here, that you’d wish was bigger… And now, here you come on tha 2^nd verse, providin’ tha top-notch energy, of course!! “Failed a piss test;” yeah, I feel ya! Impossible ta stay sober when dealin’ wit that insecure bitch four dayz a week!! Like, who can stay sober after bein’ trapped fa seven hours in a day?! Great job, Sam!! My Rating: 4.5

07. “Bouncin’ Round”

This one, I have a feelin’ I might know, too… “Bouncing Round The Club”? >>> Yeah, this iz. Here go tha previous review:

“Sounds like a familiar song, but it might’ve been ‘cause you may’ve said this title in anotha song… Either way, nice beat and you doin’ a good job wit your pill rappin’, lol! Tha 1^st verse sounds nice; blends perfect wit tha hook… Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, too, strictly wildlin’ out on tha haterz!”

Last time, it skipped at 2:47, but this time, we got a nice outro wit you talkin’ ova this beat; dumb shit!! My Current Rating: 4.6

½time: Well, so far, you’re off to such an excellent start!! It’s like tha Big Scoob CD from last week; you know how ta hold it down!! Top-notch production, excellent features, 100% dumb shit from you on tha verses; gotta luv it!! A 4.8-rated CD, so far; I see five starz comin’!!! Gotta get some grub on, first; I’ll be back! *Leaves review at 6:21 PM…* *Resumes review at 6:43 PM…*

08. “Rollin’” feat. Level & Da Jiggalaters

Oh, I wanna hear!!! >>> Q-Red on tha track!! Had a feelin’ he was gon produce one of tha previous ones on here—oh, I know this one! Tha Scoob CD! Just a different title!! Tha original review:

“Q-Red on tha beat, here!! Almost thought that was him on tha pre-hook but it’s Sam I Am with Level, ya dig?! Ooh, Level tearin’ up tha hook, here!! Really diggin’ tha “Roll On” shit from tha Big Tymers on tha sample, too!! And, we got Level on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit tha “pillz,” as he eats “‘em all at tha dinner table!” Yeah, Level!! “2016;” it’s official!!! Definitely a sick 1^st verse ta vibe to at all times!! And, it’s wild, here, wit Sam I Am on tha 2^nd verse!! He anotha dude I first heard on February 16—might’ve been 17^th, 2008 ‘cause that review I done did, Big Jay’s Pyrex Radio Vol. 4: From Crumbz 2 Brickz, took me two dayz ta review ‘cause I was reviewin’ a CD a month, back then! Dope shit on tha 2^nd verse, includin’ when I heard D-So & them do they thang, too! Definitely dope shit from Scoob on tha 3^rd verse, here!! It’s all about bein’ tha most resistant and consistent!! Keepin’ this shit goin’ wit T-Lo on tha final part, here! Dumb shit, especially when two months ago, tha Jukebox Challenge featured my radio edit to T-Lo’s “All Day”, with my dog bark in tha beginning!!” My Current Rating: 5.0

09. “Ain’t Fuckin’ Wit Me”

True dat!! >>> Nice guitar in tha beginning; real eerie! Reminds me of some of dat old Mystikal shit; can’t wait ta hear!! Nice and slow, here, wit you goin’ off on tha hook, as always!! Tha 1^st verse’s definitely what’s good! Gotta keep tha “weed” up; gotta keep tha “lean” up! Just do you, Sam, at all times!! Good shit goin’ on throughout tha 2^nd verse! I luv how I’m tha Nu$$ie of my job; neva seen anything like me, befo!! I’m diggin’ tha “Levi’s wit tha Polo; can always catch me solo” line; gotta luv it! That’s me, too! Coogi, Girbauds & dat “solo” shit at all times! I’m rockin’ a 100 fit, now, even though I prefer dat throwback shit! Oh, you said who produced it at tha end: “J Buc;” fuck yeah!! My Rating: 4.7

10. “Go Hard”

EQ doin’ anotha beat!! >>> Can’t wait ta hear this; energetic vibe in tha beginning!! Yeah, tha hook’s definitely jammin’ to tha bone gristle!!! Just luv tha energy!! That’s why they luv me at work: this music’s inside me!! Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through, strictly jammin’ at all times!! Gotta have all those drugs & alcohol in you!! Gotta luv tha 2^nd verse and how you’re “bloodshot-red,” too; dumb shit!! Consistency at its finest!! You neva fail!!! My Rating: 4.9

11. “Get Off Me” feat. Cashin’ Out Ent.

I know of Cashin’ Out Entertainment. Let’s see what y’all brought to tha table, here… >>> Big Josh doin’ this beat, here; can’t wait ta hear! Diggin’ tha hook from Cashin’ Out Ent., here, doin’ tha damn thang! Yeah, dat Baton Rouge/225-type shit dat I’ve always loved!! It’s all about jammin’, jiggin’ and doin’ tha damn thang fa tha streets!! Holy shit, luv tha repetitive shit in tha beginning of tha 1^st verse!! “Bitch, get off me, bitch, get off me, bitch, get off me, bitch, get off me…!” Definitely luvin’ this shit!! I’ono how much more I can say dat I luv this!! It’s in my blood—my veins!!! Here you are on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit dat dumb shit at all times!! Tha unstoppable Sam!! Diggin’ tha 3^rd verse, too; Cashin’ Out in tha buildin’! Can’t wait ta hit tha Boot in tha future!! Hope it’s next year!! My Rating: 4.8

12. “Don’t Get Me Started”

!!!!! >>> Not sure who “Raphael” iz, but I’m anticipatin’ this beat start!! Tha beat and hook’s definitely tha shit!! Can’t deny your energy and what you be bringin’ to tha table!!! Gotta luv how you comin’ through on tha 1^st verse!! Mollies, “tabs,” you name it!! Gotta luv when dem “drugs kickin’ in!” Edibles? Crazy shit!! Luv dat shit!! Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice, once again! Gotta luv how you mention “Nu$$ie” again! Too bad Kevin Gates too ‘popular’ ta mention Nu$$ie, smh! Wonder how’d he answer a question today, like, “Why you ain’t mention Nu$$ie in your music, Gates?” He’d prolly be like, “Oh, Nu$$ie, dat a real nigga…,” but won’t mention him!! But yeah, excellent job, once again, Sam!! My Rating: 4.7

13. “Tell Me Wut U Kno”
>>> Decent beat start… J Buc doin’ tha beat, here; let’s see what y’all can bring to tha table… A slower vibe and a catchy hook; sounds a lil’ more mainstream, lol? Still, aces at its finest!! Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit tha crazy rhymes, as always! Only real people can tolerate and listen ta you, Sam! I was 19 when I first heard you, back on February 17, 2008 wit “Like Dat”, off tha Pyrex Radio Vol. 4: From Crumbz 2 Brickz by Big Jay & Pyrex Radio! Gotta luv what you bringin’ to tha table on tha 2^nd verse, too! Just strictly holdin’ it down at all times!! It’s all about tha hustle; keep it goin’!! Like, what does your voice sound like when you’re done recordin’ a track? Just real grimy wit it!!! My Rating: 4.5

14. “All I Kno” feat. X-Fyle

Nice ta end it wit an X-Fyle feature! >>> Endin’ wit a slow vibe & X-Fyle on tha track… X singin’ tha hook; decent… Kinda reminds me of some mainstream music on tha beat; not bad… Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some tight shit, as always! Gotta luv how you deliver this shit; definitely what’s good! Yeah, can’t believe it’s been 13 years since “2003” and “Money & Power!” Tha 2^nd verse’s definitely tha truth; so many turned they backs on me! At my job, on my birthday, only two people got me somethin’! One of ‘em gave me a bowl of weed ta shmoke; don’t get no betta than that!! My Rating: 4.3

Overall: Well, definitely right behind tha Scoob CD!! Pure, excellent, neva-agin’ jigg music at its finest!!! Glad you keepin’ this vibe goin’ fa tha 2K15/2K16!! You always provide tha undeniable rappin’, flows, songs, etc.! Production was definitely top-notch & tha features were off tha chain, of course!! Keep up tha great, classic, undeniable work, Sam!! Gonna review tha other CD you dropped, recently, right afta I take a lil’ break and go out fa a bit…

Review #1,185: Bro-Bro & G-Thang "Louisianamals #TeamDumway (The Mixtape) (Hosted by DJ Chill)"

Reviewed on 9.18.2012 (Review #1,185)

My 5^th review for today iz Jazzy Records’ Bro-Bro & G-Thang Louisianamals #TeamDumway (The Mixtape) (Hosted by DJ Chill)! Looks like there’s a hell of a lot on here! However, why couldn’t it just be an album? Why does everyone just release nothin’ but freakin’ “mixtapes”? :( Start Time: 11:59 PM | End Time: 1:21 AM

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!

01. Intro

>>> Sounds like random blah blah, like on some Aftermath-type shit… My Rating: N/A

02. “Back 2 Back”

Repeat song? My Current Rating: 4.6

03. “Re-Up” Feat. Fridgerator

J Buc doin’ tha beat and Fridgerator on tha feature! Lookin’ forward to hearin’ tha new feature!! >>> Oh, it’s mixed like a mixtape… J Buc wit a Young Jeezy sample? Neva used ta any samples in his production… Either way, sounds pretty gutta, like he had a splash of Young Jeezy’s production team on his side! LOL, my rappin’ granny’s cell-phone goin’ off? Oh, it’s tha song, lol! LOL @ all tha drug shit from Bro-Bro on tha 1^st verse; always wondered where tha interest in trappin’ comes from? Great verse, though; Bro, you have such a great voice fa dis shit! Tha 2^nd verse sounds like a nice preacher (Fridgerator?); great advice and mission-makin’ verse! My Rating: 4.5

04. “It’s Dum Round Here”

Lil’ Cal doin’ tha beat, this time; hope it’s good wit tha both of y’all on it! >>> “R.I.P. Nu$$ie”? How ‘bout an R.I.P. to Big Fancy? Good hook; I guess all that “yeah” shit iz a quote? G-Thang sounds pretty good on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through nice on this Cal beat. Good shit comin’ from Bro-Bro on tha 2^nd verse, wit this gangsta shit! Guess talkin’ ‘bout Big Fancy’s boring? My Rating: 4.4

05. “Stuntin’ On ‘Em”

Repeat song + there’s not a “g”; it’s an apostrophe. My Current Rating: 4.6

06. “Fist Box” Feat. Mouse

This looks really anticipatin’!! Mouse on tha track and feature!!! >>> Hook sounds good; beat’s pretty nice, too… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and you can’t fail wit what you want to prove to these people! Anotha verse from Bro-Bro? Thought I’d hear a Mouse verse, but this iz still good, too… Ahh, no Mouse, since G-Thang’s comin’ through pretty quick on tha 3^rd verse. He sounds good ta blend in wit this; all about them weapons of choice! My Rating: 4.5

07. “Keep It Real”

Big Josh doin’ tha beat; new song? >>> Of course, can’t fail wit a song about keepin’ “it real!” Good job neva bein’ a loser, on tha 1^st verse! G-Thang’s comin’ through wit his neutral style on tha 2^nd verse, and tha lyrics seem to be better than how I feel about tha verse… My Rating: 4.3

08. “Hollin’ Bow”

Tyree Neal on tha beat; let’s “bow” ‘til we fall asleep, lol! >>> Lil’ Cal beat? Error on tha back cover? Gotta trust tha actual song than tha back cover this time, lol! New “bow” sample, or iz dat Beezy Bird’s “bow” sped up? I have a feelin’ it’s a new sample… Tha hook (and this whole joint) seems to be “bow”ful, at its finest! Sounds like it’s a G-Thang solo joint, here; really great, although I could’ve pictured Bro-Bro all ova this joint! My Rating: 4.2

09. “Police” Feat. Nu$$ie

Ooh, a new Nu$$ie feature? Of course, I had this CD fuckin’ one week b4 Nu$$’s birthday (this year), and I could’ve aired it on my show. Oh, when college doesn’t stop kickin’ you in tha ass! :( But, I’ll still radio-edit it, despite not having a show anymore; you know me! Big Josh on tha beat! >>> Beat’s a lil’ quiet and okay, for a start. Tha hook sounds entertainin’ wit Bro-Bro doin’ tha damn thang wit his character! B.O.P.: Beware of Police!! Tha 1^st verse sounds good, but I think tha Nu$$ie flow similarities, at times (“fuck a million bucks”) should R.I.P.! G-Thang’s on tha 2^nd verse, and he sounds good alternatin’ on tha hook than providin’ a verse, here; he’s too decent for me, on this… Nu$$ie sounds pretty good on tha 3^rd verse; it’s about time he said, “Nu$$,” lol. Once again, thumbs up fa tha character, and “poppin’ [her] in them titties!” My Rating: 4.4

10. “Dummy (Remix)” Feat. Lil’ Buck

This iz a Lil’ Buck song featuring tha both of y’all, produced by E.P.; lookin’ forward, especially since them at Ruff-N-Rugged Ent. do great business wit me! >>> Yea, this an official collaboration of tha Lil’ Buck/Ruff-N-Rugged Ent. people I know! If that’s Buck on tha 1^st verse, he sounds good on tha flow! Bro, you said, “Remix,” in tha beginning? Then, I’ll make sure to note that this iz a “remix.” Hook sounds simple, but sounds great on this beat… G-Thang on tha 2^nd verse? Nice representin’ goin’ on wit this track, here, “dummy” style! Yay, Bro-Bro on tha 3^rd verse, and I bet anyone can tickle him to tha max, lol! Anything’ll start him up!! My Rating: 4.4

½time: Very good CD collaboration project between tha two of y’all; gotta luv tha features and production!! Keep up tha great work; 4.4-rated CD, currently!!!!

11. “Make Me Spend Money” Feat. Level & Foxx

Was gonna doubt this title ‘til I saw tha features and my fuckin’ boy, J Buc on tha beat!!! >>> Gotta luv this hook and beginning!! I bet anyone’ll kiss Level ‘cause of how fuckin’ great he iz!!! Oh, if only Level can meet Meital Dohan; Level then’ll be like, “yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea!!!,” lol! Good shit from Bro-Bro on tha 1^st verse, neva givin’ up wit his tight ass!! Level doin’ a nice job wit his character on tha 2^nd verse; attitude, flow, and vibe on lock, 100%! Him and his automatic-soundin’ rhymes, too; sounds like he can neva fail, but failing sometimes makes song topics better… Still, I rather this title be 100% dedicated to me; when will people “spend money on [me]”? Of course, can’t deny Foxx’s great delivery on tha 3^rd verse; he always has energetic rhymes on lock, as well as some nice explicit shit, too! My Rating: 4.8

12. “Micheal Jackson” Feat. Da Taliban

Spelling error on Jackson’s name, but I don’t think I’m gonna look forward to this; Tyree Neal production. >>> Well, tha beat start sounds hot; hope it’s not a dancin’ song or somethin’… What’s “K.O.O.K.K.O.”? Iz it a long version of a “K.O.”? Well, this definitely iz on some hot-ass, gangsta-ass shit!! Tha 1^st verse sounds pretty nice from this Taliban dude; y’all definitely holdin’ BR down in a nice way, fa tha streetz! Keepin’ tha Taliban shit comin’ along wit tha 2^nd verse, and it’s anotha plus wit this successful “K.O.”-type shit! Hearin’ tha hook once again, and it’s pretty entertainin’ wit not “[playin’] wit [dem] lil’ boyz!” Got G-Thang on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit a lil’ betta-than-usual-type shit, here! My Rating: 4.6

13. “Clean Up” Feat. Lil’ Cal

No producer listed? Could it be Lil’ Cal—neva mind, lemme hear… >>> Of course, Lil’ Cal on tha beat; I wasn’t totally fooled! Beat sounds pretty smooth for a start, here; sounds like a good hook that I can relate to, in a way. I feel like I’m cleanin’ “up” tha things I’ve been behind in. It’s like, why’d I do all those free offers back in shitty ’09 & ‘10/Nu$$ie-Dead times? Tha 1^st verse iz… “child support”? Ugh, bad parenting choice? Okay rhymes for me… LOL, “2011,” Bro-Bro? Not bad wit comin’ through on tha 2^nd verse wit this; where was Lil’ Cal? Maybe, he was only tha production credits? My Rating: 4.1

14. “Jumpin’ 2 Da Ceiling” Feat. Savage

Savage!!!!! He produced it, too!!!!! >>> Yes, tha vibe’s here; time ta “Get Loose Wit It”, like he says!! Savage iz one of those dudes that always makes me feel like Nu$$ie’s still alive, wit his tracks!!! Good job wit tha hook, Bro; you already know how ta handle a Savage-produced track!! Almost soundin’ like Webbie’s flow on “My People” on tha 1^st verse, Bro, but can’t deny it, lol!! Got G-Thang on tha 2^nd verse, and I’m feelin’ how he comin’ through on this shit; it almost reminds me of how Max Minelli was comin’ through on them Savage-produced tracks! Whoo! Savage comin’ through on tha 3^rd verse, and he’s got err-thang on lock!! Can’t deny dat damn Savage!!! Also, exclusively, gotta give it up to Savage! He was my 2^nd most-played artist on my radio show wit EXACTLY 100x played (songs & features)! Who was #1? I wanted it to be Savage, but I don’t think Sav’ll mind who was #1… *Tears* …I think there’s a reason why #1 was #1… (Stay tuned) My Rating: 4.8

15. “Moving Dat” Feat. Black Panther

Classic-lookin’ feature wit this Big Josh beat; really lookin’ forward!!! >>> Whoo, anotha jam, here!! Tha consistentness doesn’t stop!!!!! Tha hook’s pretty hot; definitely some hot-ass shit!! Good job wit tha 1^st verse, Bro-Bro; you already know when it comes ta pleasin’ these hoes!! G-Thang’s comin’ through on tha 2^nd verse, and he enjoyin’ this shit a whole lot, too; keep up tha great work! Black Panther’s on tha 3^rd verse, and you already know this classic vibe’s here; gotta give him a big plus fa comin’ through wit this shit! Really exposin’ himself a hell of a lot to these hoes! My Rating: 4.7

16. “Beat Yo Azz Up” Feat. T-Lo

Anotha classic-lookin’ feature wit anotha Big Josh beat; definitely lookin’ forward!!!!! >>> Sounds like a sequel to tha previous joint, in a fightin’ perspective; gotta luv tha hook! Yes, Bro-Bro on tha 1^st verse, and he’s, like, a bulldozer to tha parking lot! Ahh, just like Nu$$ie dyin’, I don’t think I should use tha word “bulldozer” ‘cause they’re bulldozin’ my rappin’ granny’s mom’s Florida home area, next year! :( I first went there during 2008 (oh, when Nu$$ was alive)! But, I’m glad you can scare many people, Bro-Bro! Got tha 2^nd verse from T-Lo, here, and it sounds like he’s surrounded by Level’s “yea, yea, yea” sample? Sounds good (and random), and you already know wit T-Lo: He really holds tha Boot down at all times!! Get a Facebook and/or Twitter already!! Then again, T-Lo not havin’ both makes him more anticipatin’ for us listeners that are not in tha 225? Sure does for me! G-Thang’s on tha 3^rd verse, and a lot of “retarded,” dumb shit goin’ on, here; props fa makin’ this jam continue ta jam! My Rating: 4.6

17. “Bitch Niggaz Can’t Stand Me” Feat. Nu$$ie & Puppy

This looks anticipatin’! Unfortunately, tha DatPiff pic of tha back cover cut tha feature off. :( But hopefully, they’ll have a tag… >>> Fuckin’ EQ!!! J One of Nu$$ie’s funny sampled verses? Love when he gets sampled in tha right peoples’ hands! Oh, sounds great wit tha hot weathergirl from tha news station I interned at on my background, right now (previous background was Savage flippin’ tha haterz off—what a nice way ta follow-up Savage)! Here’s Bro-Bro on tha 1^st verse, and it’s too Level-y wit tha “In Dat Thang” flow… But, of course, I love it; wit a tight-ass beat from kick-ass EQ, and some kick-ass rappers, here!! Good shit from G on tha 2^nd verse; gotta feel how he comin’ through on this shit/beat! Puppy’s on tha 3^rd verse, and he wants “tha president”? I actually saw Mitt Romney in Pennsylvania, thanx to tha news station I interned at, on June 16, 2012; nice final event before my birthday! Anyway, nice appearance from Pup; I’ll give him props, here! My Rating: 4.5

18. “If I Want 2”

Lil’ Cal on tha beat, and it’s just tha two of y’all, now! >>> Likin’ tha short length, here; short-and-sweet! Feelin’ tha hook wit tha attitude y’all bringin’ to tha table, always saggin’ on dem bitch-asses at all times!! Good shit, Bro, on tha 1^st verse; can’t wait to meet you, one day! G-Thang’s on tha 2^nd verse, and he keepin’ this 225 hood shit comin’ along, wit a lil’ bit of “fuckin’,” “2,” lol! My Rating: 4.3

19. “Still ‘Bout Dat Dum Shit” Feat. 1Hitta

Wonder who this Hitta dude iz… Anyway, J Buc beat!! >>> “Hard In The Paint” start? C’mon, get to tha tightness already, and no quotes… Slower vibe, and much longer length… Tha hook sounds good, especially on a street vibe; a lil’ on tha catchy side, G-Thang, as I’m givin’ you props! Tha 1^st verse ain’t too bad; not bad, G-Thang, as you holdin’ this gangsta shit down! Tha 2^nd verse iz here, and it must be this Hitta dude… Feelin’ how he comin’ through wit this joint wit his voice and character! True, tight gangsta shit! Hope to hear more from him in tha future! Bro on tha 3^rd? Naw, it’s G-Thang, and it’s on a U.N.L.V./Boosie song flow… Ehh, a lil’ too quote-y, but it ain’t too bad, overall; nothin’ sky high for tha J Buc ratings, though. My Rating: 4.2

20. “Hurt By Luv” Feat. Jackie Neal

Big Josh beat; I dunno about this one… >>> Another one over five minutes long? I think this should be shorter and saved for an album, not a mixtape… I can see where tha vibe’s comin’ from, here; it actually has a good, down south beat goin’ on, as well as tha sample bein’ above-average for me… Bro-Bro, you’re on tha 1^st verse, and these rhymes seem good, anti-bitches style? Interestin’ rhymes on tha 2^nd verse from Bro, too, although this iz startin’ to get boring and too slow… Here’s G-Thang on tha 3^rd verse, and tha lyrics are better, this time, than catchin’ a vibe off tha verse… My Rating: 3.7

21. “Girl U Making Me Say” Feat. Tyree Neal

Forgot to list tha producer? I bet it’s Tyree Neal, but let’s see how we gon end this… >>> Can’t tell, but I’ll consider it Tyree Neal (my bad for not confirmin’, lol). Tha hook ain’t that bad, but almost sounds like another album cut, instead of a mixtape cut…—ehh, maybe it iz on a mixtape vibe, thanx to this southern vibe. Tha 1^st verse iz G-Thang, and it sounds like a smooth way to attract a girl… Mo shit from G-Thang on tha 2^nd verse, here, kinda bringin’, like, a Young Bleed feel to this shit, right now; good job. Well, this iz more of a G-Thang solo, since he’s on tha 3^rd verse, too; good lyrics, once again, but this iz also gettin’ a lil’ boring for me, since there’s also no Bro-Bro… My Rating: 3.7

Overall: Y’all did such a great job wit this one; nothin’ but consistency tha whole way round!!! Keep up tha great work!! I still think this could’ve been an album than a mixtape; I don’t get how every artist and every CD has to be a “mixtape,” these dayz…

Review #838: Bro-Bro "Thinkin' Out Loud"

Reviewed on 3.01.2011 (Review #838)

Keepin’ it goin’, Bro-Bro “Thinkin’ Out Loud” iz up next, tha actual, full-length CD! Start Time: 6:20 PM | End Time: 7:00 PM

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.

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): Justin via mail

01. “Time Brangs About Changes”

Produced by Mainline; let’s hear dis. >>> Kinda different for a starting song but I like tha way tha production sounds. Tha hook sounds like some shit dat ain’t fa me; should be an ending song? My Rating: 3.4

02. “Back 2 Back” Feat. Beezy Bird

No wonder, it’s DJ B-Real on tha beat ‘cause tha Beezy Bird sample in tha beat! This sounds betta from tha previous joint. So iz this where tha “Back2Back” Puppy sample came from? Tight shit here; definite plus!! Once again, DJ B-Real produced this put Beezy Bird in tha background wit tha “bow, bow” so you know what dat means… he counts as being a part of tha song! Glad I was able to ID one of tha features! I like all tha “izaint” shit; DEFINITELY catchy all tha way through!!! Nice job on tha verses, too! My Current Rating: 4.6

03. “2nite” Feat. Money Bagz

J-Hook beat!! Keepin’ it tight, here; this iz pretty good… LOL, can I ask, “what made you get into drugs?” Like, what was tha age and what made you wanna do it, lol? Nice job wit makin’ some catchy, 225, street music! You teamed up wit Money Bagz here, also wit a “Polo horse,” lol. He did a pretty good job and he’s on tha same level as you, lol. You added some more to tha rest of tha song… My Current Rating: 4.2

04. “Camera” Feat. Tyree Neal

DJ B-Real did this beat as well as a guitar from Tyree, lol. >>> New song fa me and it’s pretty tight fa a slow, smooth song about sex! Good song but a lil’ too many shout outs ta “B-Real”? He does approve or respond back to me so he doesn’t need to be acknowledged x amount of times ‘til he does respond! Good job wit how you doin’ ya thang on tha verses! Tyree sounds like a dude dat would have a Savage face or somethin’, lol; not bad… My Rating: 4.1

05. “Donkey Rope” Feat. Lil’ Mista

Oh, so Mista’s on dis as well as a “rope” in tha title! E.P. on tha track, lol! Sounds kinda funny for a start… Sounds good again wit dis “donkey” shit, lol! Mista’s on tha 2^nd verse, here, and I like tha “Polo on my body” start to tha 2^nd verse as well as tha “purple in my lungs” shit, too. LOL @ tha random “you a whole asshole” part! My Current Rating: 4.3

06. “So Good”

Anotha Mainline production; anotha short length, too? >>> For a song dat doesn’t sound like I’d really like, it sounds pretty nice wit tha production, once again, as well as how you hold it down! My Rating: 4.0

07. “Get It N” Feat. Level

Self-produced from tha label (Jazzy Records wit their Jazzy Productions); must be anticipatin’ and lol @ tha “n”! >>> Definitely some hot shit!! Level has some hot background shit goin’ on in tha hook, ya dig? Good job wit tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit tha consistent, crazy rhymes!! Speakin’ of crazy rhymes, Level’s doin’ tha damn thang on tha 2^nd verse; nothin’ but dat crazy-ass shit!!!!! You’re doin’ tha damn thang on tha 3^rd verse wit your spellin’, lol, keepin’ it hot! My Rating: 4.7

08. “It’s Hot”

Here comes mo production from Mainline… >>> Anotha smooth joint dat’s acceptable fa me. LOL @ tha hook; you “(swearin’ dis) hot,” which iz a good perspective. Tha smooth beat makes your rhymes good, easy ta listen to. Nice job wit all your rhymes; always entertainment fa me! My Rating: 4.1

09. “I’m Going Dumb” Feat. G Thang

Anotha Mainline beat wit a different title and a feature, here. >>> This iz different fa him, lol; iz dis ‘pose ta be a surprise or somethin’, lol? Funny…; definitely nice!! G Thang sounds pretty nice. LOL, because tha title iz about havin’ energy, does it have ta immediately be about tha “hoes,” lol? Glad he soundin’ good; surprised he sounds typical fa a newbie (I think, newbie) fa me. My Rating: 4.5

10. “Late Night” Feat. Tyree Neal

Why a missin’ “e” from his name? Big Josh did tha beat… >>> Nothin’ too special for a start but tha beat’s betta than a usual beat I’d hear on somethin’ like dis. Lyrics are not bad; a lil’ mainstream fa me, at times… My Rating: 3.6

½time: I’m rating this CD a 4.2, currently; can it keep up?

11. “Cup Up” Feat. Sam I Am
Jazzy Productions and a tight feature!! >>> LOL, Big Josh actually bein’ a part of tha production, here; pretty nice! What else can you expect from somethin’ like dis? Nothin’ but dat tight shit! Sam’s doin’ a nice job, too; what else can you expect from him, too? Classic dude to tha fullest!!! My Rating: 4.4

EDIT: Neva knew Sam I Am was on this before? I don’t remember; I know I rush these reviewz, at times, ‘cause of so many wit so-little time.

12. “Think It’s A Game” Feat. Lil’ Mista

Good collaboration and title wit Big Josh doin’ tha beat! >>> Speakin’ of “Nu$$ie,” it sounds like some DCF-type shit, here! You doin’ ya thang on tha hook; nothin’ but greatness!! Good job doin’ tha damn thang on tha verses, comin’ through wit tha consistency!! Mista comin’ through wit some mo tight shit on tha 3^rd verse! Glad y’all collab’d again! Nothin’ but street shit—in visionin’ it good! My Rating: 4.5

13. “Let It Go” Feat. Tyree Neal

Big Josh beat/Tyree on guitar. How will dis go? >>> Hate tha gayness in tha beginning; makes me feel really uncomfortable! :td No plus on tha hook for me, this time. This beat’s completely stale for me, too. Tha rappin’ ain’t interestin’ fa me, too—maybe for a girl, though. My Rating: 2.2

14. “In My Gangsta” Feat. Tyree Neal

Again, Big Josh beat/Tyree on guitar. But, lol @ tha “e” missin’ again! >>> This iz much betta; likin’ tha “funky” sounds here! Tha hook’s really official wit all tha shit you be doin’ “in (ya) gangsta!” Good job wit tha only verse! Tha length’s pretty nice for my radio show; could throw it in to have room for longer songs! My Rating: 4.6

15. “Stuntin’ On ‘Em” Feat. J Buc

LOL @ tha feature/producer; you gettin’ it in! >>> Sounds like some hot shit for a start; let’s keep it goin’!! LOL @ tha “a bad bitch, no scumbag” part! You deliverin’ tha tight shit to tha fullest! Ooh, tha beat’s soundin’ pretty nice afta 1:00!! Buc appeared on tha hook outta nowhere, doin’ tha damn thang!! What a tight collaboration!! Gotta get buku jointz from dis CD on my radio show!! Nice job continuin’ this tight-ass song, Bro-Bro!! My Rating: 4.6

16. “Don’t Do Me Like Dat” Feat. Big John, Lil’ G & Pooh

More in-house-type production here from tha Fam! >>> Ooh, nice start wit tha lil’ kid and how this iz soundin’! Good job wit how you comin’ through on tha hook; what crazy shit you come up wit!! How you do it, bruh—Bro-Bro, lol? Tha 2^nd verse sounded like an older dude, doin’ a nice job, too! Tha 3^rd verse I don’t have much ta say; it fits wit tha crew at Jazzy Fam Records. You’re rappin’ on tha 4^th verse, keepin’ dis 225 flava comin’ along!! My Rating: 4.3

17. “Real”

Anotha Mainline production… >>> Tha beat’s cool and you keepin’ it “real” fa dis CD and how you come through wit tha tight jamz! A good joint ta mix wit dis CD; gotta have tha content and tha beat from Bro-Bro & Jazzy Fam at all times!! My Rating: 4.2

18. “Never Meant”

An X-Fyle beat! >>> A fade-in intro gives me low anticipation… Tha production’s weak for me; not inta dis Kanye-soundin’ shit. What’s wit tha yucky, Mickey Mouse voice? My Rating: 2.4

19. “Twurk It (Remix)” Feat. Jackie Neal, Tyree Neal & Big Pooh

Mainline on tha beat and lol @ tha missin’ letters in “Tyree” and “Pooh”… A Bounce vibe but mixed wit some weird Soul? I didn’t have much interest in tha beginning but this ain’t too bad, overall; this vibe iz what’s up!! My Current Rating: 3.7

20. “That’s The Way We Roll (Part 2: R.I.P. Jackie Neal, Raful Neal & Ronnie Neal)”

No producer listed; was there any room? Looks like you’re losin’ your family. :( >>> I believe this was tha last joint from tha demo disc? Has ta be since dat was a ‘demo disc’. Unfortunately, I feel tha same; still a 2.7. My Current Rating: 2.7

Overall: Good job wit dis CD; you got tha bangers on lock!

Review #688: Lil' Boosie "Thug Passion (The Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 12.17.2010 (Review #688)




Time fa anotha review. Originally, I got dis sent ta me last year. However, I didn’t check it out, I guess, ‘cause it was on a mainstream level, and I had too much to review. Tha fuck? Now, I have like 12x more ta review and I’m reviewin’ it! JP resurrected it by sendin’ it to me in tha mail; here goes my review for Lil’ Boosie “Thug Passion (The Mixtape)”! Question: why iz this a “mixtape” when it’s 71 minutes long? I’m also kinda lost so if I heard a song before and not realize it, I’m just gonna pretend I ain’t eva hear it/know its original rating. Start Time: 7:12 PM | End Time: 8:23 PM


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.

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): Blaze365


01. “Check Me Out”
Startin’ wit a Big Wayne production here! >>> I get sick of reviewin’ you at times, but don’t get bored from tha songs. ROFL @ rhymin’ somethin’ wit “boxers”. Good-soundin’ song here. My Rating: 4.3


02. “Hospital” Feat. Re-Up & Quick
A Guss beat; let’s hear dis! >>> Dis sounds like a betta beat; nice job, Guss! A true Baton Rouge sound here! Tha hook’s real nice, too; good, gangsta shit! ROFL @ tha coughin’ in tha 2nd verse; how random! Re-Up sounds good on tha 2nd verse. LOL, does every single person come up from tha same life? Ever hear of Autism? Nice shit from Quick, too… My Rating: 4.5


03. “Knocking Pictures Off The Wall” Feat. Re-Up & Lil’ Phat
Nice collab here and a beat from DJ B-Real; dis should be pretty nice!! >>> Sounds like a long intro ‘cause I wanted tha beat ta come up ASAP. This beat iz nice and smooth; really feelin’ how it sounds. Tha hook’s pretty catchy… Sounds like Re-Up took tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse, doin’ a nice job wit you. “Flippin’ dem hoes just like flip-flops;” lol, Phat! LOL, Re-Up takin’ mo of tha 2nd ½, this time on tha 2nd verse! My Rating: 4.4


04. “Tell Me What It Is” (Locco Feat. Hatch Boy & Quick)
Anotha tight collab wit producer UM on tha beat! >>> Pretty good start wit a catchy hook… Tha 1st verse iz pretty catchy… Locco almost sounds like Magnolia Chop. Hatch Boy doin’ a nice job on tha 2nd verse. LOL, are you not in tha song, Boosie? LOL, you’re not on dis. At least err-body did they thang! My Rating: 4.3


05. “Now I Shine”
Let’s see how GR8 Guss holds down dis beat! >>> Yea, soundin’ tight here! Why does tha hook sound like 50 Cent and his “Hustler’s Ambition”? Pretty good song although it should be, like, a minute less since you’re tha only one on here. My Rating: 4.3


06. “Thug Passion” Feat. Black & Lil’ Phat
Title track wit Tyree Neil and Big Josh doin’ tha beat here. Let’s see what’s up. >>> Was gonna think this was tha weakest beat so far but it’s not too bad since it has a Southern feel to it. Tha hook’s pretty catchy. Why iz Lil’ Phat in tha beginning of tha ID again? Black’s on tha 2nd verse, doin’ a nice job. ROFL @ tha ending to Phat’s verse wit “I luv drugs”; very descriptive fa an anti-social topic, lol! My Rating: 4.2


07. “Who Do You Love”
Get ‘em, Guss!! >>> Pretty good soundin’ and tha length iz perfect here (2:54)! Tha hook’s catchy wit dat title! ROFL @ tha “baby powder”. SMH @ you need ta have a gun in order ta go in tha party; how not exciting! My Rating: 4.2


08. “Loaded” Feat. Quick
Yay, anotha Guss beat here!! >>> This iz definitely some shit right chea! Good, smooth beat wit tha GR8 smokin’ topic!! ROFL @ “watchin’ Sports Center.” Nice job wit this song and DEFINITE PLUS from Quick comin’ through pretty fast and consistent to tha bone!! My Rating: 4.5


½time: Tight shit here, my boy!! So far, 4.3 for tha CD rating!! Keep tha HOT-ASS production comin’ as well as your team!!


09. “That River”
Interestin’ title and interestin’-ass Big Wayne on tha beat here; let’s get it!! >>> Sounds good fa a start. Nice hook; interestin’ concept, ya dig? Good job wit this song, doin’ ya thang. My Rating: 4.2


10. “Gorilla Bread”
Let’s keep tha Big Wayne beats comin’ along! >>> Sounds good once again. Doin’ a nice job here wit all these songs. Good shit once again as you keep it catchy. My Rating: 4.1


11. “Mama Know Love”
Although Big Wayne on tha beat again, I don’t think this’ll be my type. >>> This ain’t too bad; at least tha beat’s good. Tha hook’s kinda cheesy, though. My Rating: 3.8


12. “What Goes Up…”
More Big Wayne beats, lol? Let’s see here… >>> Tha intro’s kinda like a follow-up to tha last song but it sounds much betta once tha rappin’ comes in! I had interest fa dis song due to tha listed features but there ain’t anybody on this song? WTF? Why was there a list then? My Rating: 3.7
EDIT: They had this listed as tha “Deep Off In Tha Club” joint; why?


13. “Deep Off In Tha Club” Feat. Black, Lil’ Fred & Big Wayne
Now, let’s FINALLY hear dis shit!! >>> What’s up wit Big Wayne’s tag wit tha “no, it ain’t Timbaland”? What does Timbaland have ta do wit dis? Dis sounds betta than tha last song and it’s more on an energetic side. Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ tha features! Matta fact, Big Wayne doin’ tha damn thang on tha hook here! LOL, Money Bagz on tha 2nd verse? Good shit… LOL @ tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse; sounds like err-body comes up tha same way, which iz like, lol? Good shit when Wayne came through on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse! My Rating: 4.6


14. “Fresh Out The Shower” Feat. Black
Let’s hear more of Big Wayne on tha beat! >>> LOL, tha “baby powder” shit again! ROFL, “so my nuts don’t get hot;” such random shit goin’ on here but keepin’ it tight, still! Black doin’ his thang here; good collab! Long-ass outro? ROFL @ “[gettin’] tha tee tees”! My Rating: 4.3


15. “I’m So Tired” Feat. Black & Locco
Finally, a Mouse beat. However, whether I heard dis or not, I don’t think this’ll be anything special. >>> Actually, not too bad wit tha beat start. Good rappin’; unexpected hook from Locco outta nowhere. He sounds too weird… Tha 2nd verse iz someone else, too; I think it’s Black… Black = Money Bagz? Interestin’… I don’t get why people have interest in “[fuckin’] hoes” and then “[leavin’] ‘em alone”. Iz this why relationships are so fucked up these dayz? Likin’ this 3rd verse…; good attitude here, doin’ tha damn thang. My Rating: 4.0


16. “Never Give Up”
Let’s hear anotha Guss beat! >>> Interestin’ intro… I like tha “bruh” / “bruh” answer/answer-back. Tha beat’s a lil’ smooth but let’s see how it goes… Tha beat sounds pretty good throughout tha verse and you’re keepin’ it goin’ here. My Rating: 3.9


17. “Shit Yeah” Feat. Quick
Gotta luv this sayin’ so I prolly gon luv tha song, produced by Big Wayne!! >>> This song’s louder, lol? Catchy-ass song wit a pretty slow, gutta beat! Definitely an interestin’ 1st verse and Quick’s doin’ tha damn thang on tha 2nd hook! Sucks how Quick lost a daughter at a really young age; what tha hell happened? Now, on tha 3rd hook, tha both of y’all took over, four bars each; interestin’. My Rating: 4.3


Overall: Good shit, Boosie! You know how ta come through on a consistent level! This whole thing wasn’t mixed or anything. Plus, there was no hosting and all tha songs ended cold. So, why was this called a “mixtape”?
