Review #1,241: CarterBoy Selfmade "Me Against The World"

Reviewed on 12.30.2012 (Review #1,241)

Here’s anotha review from CarterBoy Selfmade Me Against The World. Iz it me, or does he look like Tim Thugga on tha front cover? Start Time: 6:08 PM | End Time: 6:20 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 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

Link To CD: http://www.datpiff.com/CarterBoy-Selfmade-Me-Against-The-World-mixtape.431328.html

01. “Me Against The World”

DJ Pookie on tha beat. >>> I prolly heard one or two of these samples from YouTube… However, in a review perspective, it sounds like a good song wit tha beat and how you deliver shit like a little Lil’ Boosie… Good lil’ all-over-tha-place flow and character; what else ta say? Oh yea, I hate hearin’ about “money!” My Rating: 4.3

02. “What You Riding On”

Advanced Level Production on tha beat; who’s that? >>> Kinda cocky wit tha beginning of too big of a dream; “cars” are a lot of money! This ain’t bad for a song, overall; kinda sounds a lil’ typical wit what all these ‘rappers’ want… My Rating: 3.8

03. “She My Baby”

WheelzBeatz beat. >>> Sounds good; how does every rapper have a “girl”? I don’t get it! Been single my whole life; how ‘bout dat? My Rating: 3.9

04. “I Ain’t Wanna Do It” Feat. Tim Thugga

JP On The Track beat; where’s tha B-Real and tha known producers? >>> Tha hook sounds catchy; not diggin’ tha beat tag randomly appearin’! That’s not hip-hop! Good collaboration, once again; glad you got some character in your voice! My Rating: 4.2

05. “I’m All Alone”

Khuz On The Track beat. >>> A lil’ screechy in tha beginning, but somewhat in a way to where you can get people that are almost annoyed, like myself, ta like. You did a catchy job wit that hook; tha verses are a lil’ above okay for me… My Rating: 4.3

06. “Answer Back”

Advanced Level Production beat. >>> Why anotha song about a dude hatin’ on anotha dude?! Yet, y’all like, “R.I.P. Lil’ Phat;” very contradictorily! A lil’ blah-blah-y for me; I rather hear somethin’ else… My Rating: 3.4

½time: A 4.0-rated CD, currently; sounds like you’re on a good streak…

07. “Why Me”

Kolossal Beats beat. >>> Good rhymes wit tha track you’re rappin’ ova; catchy hook! My Rating: 4.2

08. “Like You”

CashX Beats; how come none of these producers have a homo-soundin’ name? >>> A much slower vibe; sounds like you have character burstin’ outta you, everywhere! Sounds like anyone can get caught in-between your rhymes! Like, sexually and as for dudes, in a trap! My Rating: 4.0

09. “Family Problems”

TrackSlammers beat. >>> Fits wit tha other songs, only this one’s about “family problems.” I have ta say, good shit. People still “get shot,” no homo? When will people retire that dumb-ass shit? Glad I neva see guns! I think I see one every year and that’s it…; might even be harder to see one. My Rating: 4.1

10. “Always On My Mind”

HollyWood beat. >>> Nothin’ too special; it’s only decent. My Rating: 3.5

11. “So Fly”

TrackSlammers beat. >>> This iz okay, too, but a lil’ betta… My Rating: 3.6

12. “Dam You My Nigga” Feat. Tim Thugga

Again, endin’ it without listin’ a producer… >>> A song I can’t depict tha definition; I dunno how anotha dude can care about anotha dude. Anyway, good character on tha hook; nice job… My Rating: 4.2

Overall: Was this better? I think so; you have a good mix, but nothin’ that captures someone’s full attention, yet. Keep up tha good collaborations, as well as tha ear for beats!

Rankings:

12.       “Answer Back” 3.4

11.        “Always On My Mind” 3.5

01. “Can’t Hold It Down”

I wonder how you met DJ B-Real? Seems like he’s on a bunch of tha beats here, includin’ this one… >>> Sounds like a jam. Surprisingly, this beats some of tha shit I previously reviewed, includin’ C-Loc’s new mixtape I just reviewed (smh @ ‘mixtape’). You kinda sound like Boosie, here; what’s up wit tha bloody topics? Kinda unexpected, but I’ll go wit givin’ this a plus… My Rating: 4.2

02. “Don’t Keep It Real”
B-Real again. >>> Not bad, but I don’t like tha Ross flow; why him? If you’re “only 19,” this content sounds a lil’ too much for you? Like, have you fucked anyone yet? Sounds like a good song, overall, once again. My Rating: 4.0

03. “I’m Focused” Feat. Tim Thugga

Iz Tim your only feature? How do people even successfully get features, anyway? B-Real beat. >>> Good hook and you got your focus on lock… Good collaboration, too; seems like you guys can hold notes down good. My Rating: 4.2

04. “Ride Real Slow” Feat. Tim Thugga

B-Real beat. >>> Almost tha same vibe still goin’… My Rating: 4.1

05. “Be Here For You”

Track Slim beat; who’s that? >>> Why’d I hear a “swag” thing in tha beginning, no homo? Your sing-rap thing goin’ on here ain’t too bad, I ain’t gon front… My Rating: 3.9

½time: A 4.1-rated CD, currently; pretty-good…!

06. “Boss” Feat. Tim Thugga

Da French Connect beat; neva heard of him… >>> Still got a good vibe, here, but stop rappin’ like Ross!! My Rating: 4.0

07. “Nobody”

The Union beat; neva heard of them… >>> Not for me; spendin’ less than 20 seconds on this!! My Rating: 1.7

08. “Fly Away”

Looks unanticipatin’, but BJ’s on tha beat; how you have a connect wit him? I thought you were unknown…? >>> Not too bad, overall; it’s a decent song about tha struggle. My Rating: 3.5

09. “Lookin’ Stupid”

B-Real beat. >>> Good production; random hook. I still don’t like that you got tha same flow goin’ on, as well as these cocky lyrics; yuck! My Rating: 3.3

10. “What You Mad For” Feat. Tim Thugga

No listed producer ta end it off… >>> Why a beat tag that was at least a sentence in tha beginning? Fuck, when will these fuckin’ beat tags end so we can get back ta focusin’ on songs?!? Good collaboration; good way of expressin’ and tauntin’ tha other human beings… My Rating: 4.2

Overall: Ehh, okay; you’re built around some original production, at least. There’s more to check out, so I’ll get to it when I can.

Rankings:

10.       “Nobody” 1.7

09.       “Lookin’ Stupid” 3.3

08.       “Fly Away” 3.5

BTW, I got mine from DatPiff ‘round June 14, and tha current one on DatPiff’s from July 21, wit only 17 songs? I’ll review my 18 and see what happens, and I may add tha ones that are different from tha other CD to tha bottom of this review (and count ‘em)… BTW, smh @ whoever removin’ dat The Best In The Business Vol. 1 from DatPiff! :( Guess no more openin’ up our assholes and doin’ our “shit on” ‘em? :( Start Time: 6:12 PM | End Time: 6:47 PM

01. “Be Back”

>>> Lovin’ tha beat start, lol!! Hot hook; you’re someone that won’t stop! Good rhymes, too, ta go wit this, in tha life of Tim Thugga! Likin’ tha ditchin’ attitude, too! My Rating: 4.5

02. “I Ain’t Worrin’ ‘Bout Chu”

>>> Tell me tha previous beat was jacked/online, since this one iz? It still sounds good, and you got a good ear for ‘em. Oh, “X Me Out’…; my bad, I’m dreamin’ for a sec… You seem ta have tha hooks on lock, especially wit tha “you” parts in tha hook/title! Catchy rhymes; who wouldn’t wanna have their eye on you, and other body parts? I love how you’re not afraid ta say what you have ta say about descriptive parts of your lifestyle! My Rating: 4.3

03. “Look Around”

>>> Sounds like a pop-rap song wit tha hook and beat start… But, of course, your music iz too entertainin’ so I follow it! Good job wit “not [having] time!” My Rating: 4.1

04. “Top Of The World” Feat. Carterboy

>>> Sounds like a cool song and hook; can’t deny Tim-muthafuckin’-THUGGA!!!!! Likin’ your “sharper” rhymes, compared ta most people! I hope you’re alive forever…eva…eva…eva…eva!!! Let’s hear this Carterboy dude on tha 2^nd verse… Sounded a lil’ betta on tha Lil’ Trill CD, but this iz only a decent verse for me; sounds a lil’ young? No, no need for tha word “swag!” A lil’ cocky of a verse, but whateva… My Rating: 4.2

05. “She Confused”

>>> How you have all this success wit girls? This sounds okay, so far, but you sound like a character wit how you sound and what you’re deliverin’! No, definitely don’t “fade away;” it’s a Thuggaful world fa’eva!! My Rating: 4.1

06. “In The Mornin’”

>>> Sample sounds ehh for tha background music, but I can feel what you’re spittin’, so I go wit it… Love how you deliver these rhymes!! Who comes up wit “[pullin’ their] dick out and [takin’] a whole piss on [haterz]”?!? Only Thugga & Beezy Bird!! Good shit you wanna “learn” throughout life; keep tha Tim Thugga life movin’ along!! My Rating: 4.2

07. “Gotta Get It” Feat. Carterboy

Carterboy’s song featuring you… >>> Sounds too sellout-y in tha beginning, wit tha intro and hook. Tha beat ain’t too bad wit what y’all rappin’ ova; let’s see how tha verses go… Ehh, 1^st verse’s too expected-successful from Carterboy; do I look like I’m successful? Tim, you’re on tha 2^nd verse, and you have a good voice like Carterboy on tha rappin’, and your rhymes are betta. Ahh, a 3^rd verse from Carterboy, too; too ‘automatic’ for me. Hate hearin’ shit like, “I walk around wit, like, 10 stacks;” yuck! My Rating: 4.0

08. “Kobe”

>>> Sounds different, but wit a typical mainstream feel/beat… Anotha “cash” song? Iz that you wit tha funny voice? I feel how you’re comin’ through on tha 2^nd verse, though; nice and motivational! My Rating: 4.0

09. “Fly As A Kite”

>>> Speakin’ of weird voices, this beginning has a weird voice, too. Well, tha hook sounds kinda cool, but kinda like a lot of mainstream rap songs today. Iz that you on tha 1^st verse? Really? Guess this iz super-old? “To Tha Dirt Records;” it really iz you… Tha 2^nd verse sounds like lots of “money” rhymes or somethin’, wit some drug-related shit, too? Sounds like a funny, fun song, overall… My Rating: 4.0

½time: I will do a ½time durin’ tha end, for tha first time, lol. I’ll see how many songs’ll be reviewed later… EDIT: Statistically, tha ½time iz still in tha same spot as it would be, and you were at a 4.2 CD rating, at tha time!!

10. “Paper”

>>> Slower vibe, catchy voice; not really into “paper” songs, but at least there’s not much braggin’ about it, so far… Rhymes ain’t too bad, but your voice iz so entertainin’! My Rating: 3.9

11. “Good Nigga”

>>> “Good” beat you chose ta rap on. Almost sounds like Nu$$ie-Alive music or somethin’, or as old as it (2008)… Not bad wit tha comin’-up rhymes you spittin’, here…; I like that hook, I should say, wit tha title and err-thang you keep providin’ ta err-body! My Rating: 4.1

12. “Momma I Gotcha”

>>> Nice beat you chose, once again—well, intro to it; it now’s soundin’ Kanye-y for you to rap on, but it’s a catchy hook, overall. This iz aight for a song; its mainstream vibe’s makin’ me like it in a decent way. Your flow iz still catchy, though! My Rating: 3.8

13. “Somethin’ New”

>>> Dry beat you chose, this time; at least you’re comin’ through wit a catchy hook, though. Rhymes are a lil’ dry, too, at times, but they still sound good wit your flow. My Rating: 3.6

14. “No Love (Freestyle)”

>>> Tha “X Me Out” dayz, lol. You got picked “on,” back in tha day? Good rhymes about comin’ up; nice job wit this beat, includin’ your motivational voice! My Rating: 3.8

15. “Strait Spittin’”

>>> OMG, hella-old jacked beat!! I dunno why these dayz, I’m so braindead wit tryna figure out what beats songs like these were… Anyway, great job “spittin’” off this one; I almost wanna live in a Tim Thugga body for one day, and see what it’s like—THUGGARIFIC!!! Glad you got so much character in your voice wit tha great rhymes you bring to tha table!! My Rating: 4.3

16. “Smoke Clear Out”

>>> Nice bass-y beat you rappin’ on; you’re so good wit provin’ dem bitch-asses wrong! Tha hook sounds catchy; not much I can say ‘bout this, but you did a nice job wit these future plans, laced on tha track! My Rating: 3.9

17. “Started Off Broke”

What iz that title? >>> Oh, you’re missin’ an “F” in “of,” lol? Thugga!! Sounds decent wit tha beat you chose to rap on; tha rhymes ain’t that bad, here, but your character ain’t too outspoken. I can see why ‘cause it’s when you were “broke.” My Rating: 3.5

18. “Dueces (Freestyle)”

I’ll put a “2” in tha ID for this one. >>> Ahh, some “Deuces”; Thuggalicious for tha ladies? Sounds like it; not bad for an unofficial ending to this mixtape… My Rating: 3.7

EDIT: Now that I see tha new DatPiff upload, I’ll call this “Strait Spittin’ 2” “Dueces (Freestyle)”.

19. “I’m So On”

This iz #6 on tha new DatPiff upload. >>> Sounds like a nice beat you chose; good shit, here! Nice rappin’; you’re always bright when it comes ta showin’ off a character! Good hook; a Thugga on a throne! Heir to tha Thugga!!! My Rating: 4.2

Overall: Gotta luv my boy Tim Thugga!! You’re a character that’s got a lotta character in yourself!! Keep up tha great work; To Tha Dirt Records ‘til we D.I.E.!!!

Link To CD: http://www.datpiff.com/Lil-Trill-From-Rags-To-Riches-mixtape.333900.html

01. “Trill Musik” Feat. Carterboy

DJ B-Real on tha beat! >>> Nice, smooth beat, on a “gangsta” tip. Sounds like growth wit more cussin’ goin’ on, includin’ more of a young Boosie-soundin’ voice. Betta-than-average song fa me… My Rating: 4.2

02. “Everything” Feat. Webbie

K.E. doin’ tha beat, here. >>> This beat sounds good, Southern style. Rhymes are aight; hook sounds good, although it could almost sound like a Soulja Boy-type song wit tha beat… That different voice that comes up randomly sounds a lil’ scary… Speaking of voices, Webbie sounds good, here, almost non-mainstream for me! My Rating: 4.1

03. “Baton Rouge” Feat. Carterboy

DJ B-Real, once again! Looks anticipatin’!! >>> Good street/hood rhymes, and a nice Southern beat goin’ on, here! Title says it all; gotta luv it! Good collaboration; I expected less from tha Carterboy dude, here; glad he doesn’t sound like someone who would do what everyone else does… My Rating: 4.3

04. “Bands” Feat. Shell

Mouse on tha track, almost like some 3Deep-type anticipation, here!! Really lookin’ forward to hearin’!!! >>> Not much excitement goin’ on in tha beginning, here; I hope that’s you in tha beginning and not Shell… This sadly iz tha most-mainstream song outta tha 4 for me, currently; not too into tha flow and beat, too much. Ehh, not into both of y’all verses…; I do like Shell’s flow, though, and that’s basically it. My Rating: 3.6

05. “Higher”

Gifted on tha beat; who iz that? >>> Well, this beat ain’t too bad; I like tha Southern vibe, and this a better song for me. Definitely likin’ tha consistent vibe, here… My Rating: 3.9

06. “Stupid Loose”

Another unknown producer to me, this time (G Money Baby)… >>> Beat ain’t too bad, but tha “I get money”-type shit kinda spoils it for me… Lyrics a lil’ ehh, and tha rhymes are too ‘automatic’ for me, like you can neva have a problem or somethin’… My Rating: 3.0

07. “Take Your Lick” Feat. Carterboy

This Carterboy (no spaces) dude iz everywhere, all of a sudden? Iz there somethin’ special about him? Anyway, everytime it’s him on tha feature, it’s B-Real on tha beat… >>> Sounds like a catchy song fa tha hood; nice hook. Tha beat’s a lil’ on tha catchy side, too; I feel like B-Real’s got more of a Big Wayne sound on this CD, which iz still good, but I feel like that’s who I’m actually hearin’ on tha beat, instead… Once again, anotha good collaboration, here. My Rating: 4.2

08. “Represent”

Now, no Carterboy, but DJ B-Real on tha beat, lol. >>> Ahh, anotha money/automatic song! My Rating: 2.7

09. “Like I Use To” Feat. Carterboy

Really “Used,” but I’ll let it slide, here. DJ B-Real!! >>> Sounds more like somethin’ for Lil’ Phat? A lil’ slow; tha beat’s nice, but I dunno how interested I’ll be in this… Rhymes aren’t mindblowin’ for me; next… My Rating: 3.3

½time: So far, 3.7 for tha CD rating.

10. “I’m So Fly” Feat. Carterboy, Webbie & DJ B-Real

B-B-B-Real!!! >>> Not-sourced DJ B-Real on tha hook? Ugh, I hate when features are not listed!! Of course, B-Real sounds nice and pure on tha hook; great voice and Southern lyrics!!! :tu Rhymes are nothin’ special, once again; sick of tha “money” shit! :td Plus, tha features should be flipped; Webbie’s last. My Rating: 4.0

11. “Foreign”

K.E. beat. >>> Sounds like a Lil’ Phat song; catchy flow/voice on tha hook, but lyrics are boring, once again. My Rating: 3.5

12. “Retarded” Feat. Carterboy & Lil’ Phat

Double-production, here (you & DJ B-Real)! >>> Hook’s a lil’ simple, even though there’s a deep voice effect… Fuck, another feature flip? Annoying! Rhymes ain’t too bad, overall… My Rating: 3.8

13. “They Be Like”

BJ beat. >>> No to tha “stacks on deck” shit!!! :td Too ‘automatic’ for me… My Rating: 2.5

14. “Thank God”

No producer? Not really anticipatin’ then… >>> Not wack, luckily; good lyrics… My Rating: 3.7

15. “Who I Am”
Atomic Beats? They sound jacked (I’m mainly sayin’ that ‘cause tha previous song didn’t have a producer listed)… >>> Pop hook? Pathetic…; why do “mixtapes” need to have a pop appeal to ‘em? I’m sick of everyone havin’ a soft side! Rhymes are good, but tha flow and beat’s boring me. My Rating: 2.9

16. “Young Boss” Feat. K.T.

Dave (who iz that?) beat… >>> Unsourced K.T. on tha hook? Sick of these features not bein’ sourced! Either way, another poppy vibe for me. Lyrics are better than tha beat, but this iz too typical to tha current, dumb-ass generation we’re living in today! My Rating: 3.4

17. “Far Off” Feat. Lil’ Phat & Lil’ Boosie

DJ B-Real beat! >>> Interestin’ beat, although for B-Real, this sounds too ATL-y… Finally, a hook that has a BR feel to it wit tha repeatin’ title; good! Damn, another feature flip? Ugh, when Lil’ Phat originally appeared first in tha ID, he’s now last; why? That’s tha popularized-dickriding for ya (to tha uploader)! Rhymes are nice from tha features, but you’re too much on some typical shit, Trill; not everything’s about money and swag… My Rating: 4.1

18. “Break Up”

Kinda ehh wit anticipation, but wit B-Real on tha beat, I’m sure I should be a lil’ anticipated! >>> Tha gay voice on tha hook ruins it for me! My Rating: 1.2

19. “Plan B”

No producer to end this off? >>> Nice hook, but why does every fuckin’ rapper have to feel like they’re on top or somethin’? Ugh, I can’t wait to continue talkin’ about how I was harassed and shit! Either way, nice beat from tha ‘???’ dude. My Rating: 3.7

Overall: This CD wasn’t too bad, overall, but some of tha shit that wasn’t for me kinda hurt tha average CD rating. I seem to hate more of tha money topics now-a-dayz, due to tha fakeness I’ve seen from certain people I’ve dealt with, and that no one can help me out when I need them to!

Review #1,126: Tim Thugga & Beezy Bird "The Best In The Business Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 1.19.2012 (Review #1,126)


 
Got my final review for today (it’s only 10:24 AM, right now) ‘cause I got an interview to do, beats I have to produce for my college’s news segment, a meeting I have to go to (to fight a grade), a quiz I have to study for, and a class. But, lemme get into this: Tim Thugga & Beezy Bird The Best In The Business Vol. 1 (Hosted by Go DJ Chilly Chill). Been anticipatin’ this! Even though it doesn’t say “Vol. 1” on tha front cover, I know it iz. Plus, izn’t this wit tha label Real Street Music? I’m basin’ that off of tha promo disc’s front cover… But, it’s Janis Joplin (R.I.P. 42 years)’s birthday today, so any insecure feelings I get from this review, I’m not gonna hold back on lettin’ ‘em out! Start Time: 10:31 AM | End Time: 11:40 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 Feat. DJ 5150, Big Jay & FrankieThaLuckyDog
What a lineup, especially me bein’ in tha 1^st of 17 on tha CD!! I feel honored, but wasn’t there ‘pose to be a back cover? *Checks* I see it as a hard copy in Tim Thugga’s pics, but not online? Oh well, I’ll just use what y’all put on DatPiff for tha tracklist. Once again, my name iz all one word, no spaces. >>> Nice beat goin’ on; didn’t expect one… DJ 5150’s first; no comment on most of what he said, except for “Tim Thugga & Beezy Bird.” Big Jay sounds good wit his part, here. Ooh, I like how I sound; Beezy Bird told me ta put tha “okay!!!” Nice shit for how I sound, even though it’s a lil’ hard ta hear me, but it’s great; “ruff!!” R.I.P. Cookie (“ruff”)! I have to say, one of tha best intros in a long time!! My Rating: N/A


02. “Bounce” Feat. Kevin F
Let’s hear it! >>> I never heard Tim Thugga’s Mixtape Vol. 1, or whateva it was, but let’s see what’s goin’ on afta this intro… Good hook goin’ on wit this beat, wit a lil’ bit of Beezy Bird on tha hook! Tha 1^st verse iz Tim Thugga, and it sounds good wit what he bringin’; gotta luv what he does!! BTW, I’m gonna need some non-DJ, non-mixed versions of these songs if y’all want ‘em on my radio show! We got Beezy Bird on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit good shit, although a lil’ ‘automatic’ wit how automatically, “hoes” can “fuck” him, easily. Time for some Kevin F on tha 3^rd verse… Wow, what a turn off in tha beginning; on Level’s dick? Not feelin’ tha beginning flow, but it turns out to be okay, but still, very ‘automatic’ soundin’… Speakin’ of which, thanks for “The Addams Family” part, F; good mention for my 42 (lol, again, I said that age) aunt! My Rating: 4.3


03. “Stuntin’” Feat. Foxx
Just Foxx on tha ID, not “Foxx A Mill”… >>> Sounds hot wit tha hook and beat; crazy Tim Thugga voice goin’ on, here!!! See, it’s about fuckin’ time somebody has some energy in their voice, after all them regularly-rapped shit I reviewed, previously!! Definitely feelin’ this one a whole lot, so far, and I’m only about a minute it!! Beezy Bird’s comin’ through on tha 1^st verse, reppin’ fa “G-Lane.” Too bad for me, “G-Lane” was a 2009 thing only; that’ll always be its peak year, and due to people not showin’ loyalty, tha year’ll prolly neva re-capture tha success of gay-ass ’09! Oh well, it’s neva my fault! Glad Beezy mentioned, “I’m tha one they samplin’;” correct! He be goin’, “bow, bow,” on tha beat’s backgrounds! Bro-Bro didn’t understand, but I gon tell him, “You need to listen to tha interview I did wit DJ B-Real, where I talked about it, or else I won’t send you your awards!” Foxx’s on tha 2^nd verse, and it sounds pretty nice; I remember those recording sessions on YouTube, which I featured in tha October 1, 2011 show I did, where I interviewed y’all! Time fa my big dawg, Tim Thugga, on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit one of tha best, most-entertainin’ flows, right now; can’t resist it!! Tim Thugga wraps you up in his raps, lol; continuous, non-stop shit!! Wit 54 seconds left, what’s left? Oh, Janis Joplin, please distract me from tha ending! *Skips ending* My Rating: 4.8


04. “You Ain’t Shyt”
A solo from Tim Thugga, lol? Sounds random for this collaboration CD… >>> Sounds good; almost sounds like it follows up tha previous joint wit tha hook. Gotta give props to Tim fa doin’ his thang wit this great voice. Huh, he said, “Free my nigga Lil’ One The Champ”? Why does he like jail (for not bein’ alert to get in there), so wh—how you know him, Tim? Everyone’s on tha same level, ya feel me? No offense wit any of this; I don’t get why it’s so hard to get a hard copy of somethin’, when I was promised! But, for a quick song, you did ya thang, Tim Thugga!! You really be holdin’ your rhymes down, at all times!! My Rating: 4.4


05. “Speak The Real” Feat. Vic Boi
Anotha Tim Thugga solo, featurin’ this Vic Boi dude… >>> It sounds like an okay track, but iz great wit your voice all ova it; really reppin’ for tha streetz, once again! Glad you speakin’ “tha real” to ‘em, right here! Kinda long on tha length for this mixtape, and a solo song, but I’ll deal wit it… I guess this iz Vic Boi on tha 3^rd verse? Don’t know too much about this dude, but I have to say that he sounds like Quick; I’ll give this props… I like how Tim Thugga says, “let’s delete it;” I know how to delete, and I’m deletin’ those that didn’t thank me for my 2010 awards in three dayz, which’ll mark a year since I sent ‘em out. My Rating: 4.3


06. “Hard” Feat. Lil’ Boxx & Hannibal
Looks like a combo… >>> *Automatically mumbles words to not understand tha intro* I’m definitely likin’ this beat; good shit goin’ on here wit tha Tim Thugga hook! Beezy Bird’s reppin’ pretty nice on tha 1^st verse; gotta feel how he bringin’ that tight shit to a track dat goes “hard!” Got Lil’ Boxx on tha 2^nd verse; glad you know him and collaborated wit him! Definitely some tight-ass shit, here; Lil’ Boxx’s always consistent wit his energy and rhymin’!! Time fa tha 3^rd verse; what’ll it be…? Tim Thugga, as he comes through wit some tight rhymes ova this tight beat! Didn’t think he’d come through wit a verse, but he did; I thought there was gonna be a long outro or somethin’… Keep it goin’, Tim; keep it goin’, Tim!! Will there be a 4^th verse? Yea—oh wait, time ta lick up some… heroin vomit!!! Mmm, like Meital says, “tasty and yummy,” huh?! Yea, I’d rather lick tha vomit! Damn, got too distracted to even think; guess that’s what happens when things are incomplete? I think so! My Rating: 4.5


07. “Grind For”
Let’s see what y’all “grind for”… >>> What’s up wit tha tags in tha beginning, includin’ tha beat tag? Seems like everyone wants to have a beat tag… Good job wit tha hook; great, consistent music at its finest!! Even down to tha 1^st verse from Tim Thugga; tha consistency iz tha same, and I can’t deny any shit goin’ on, here! Gotta keep stayin’ on ya “grind!” Beezy Bird’s on tha 2^nd verse, and his voice adds tha extra spice to what could originally be a solo Tim Thugga joint! Glad to hear a whole CD from Beezy, finally!! My Rating: 4.4


08. “Gutta Bitch” Feat. ADORE
Capital letters? What’s this gon be like? >>> Not sure about tha intro; hope y’all can pull off this smooth shit! Prevent y’allselves from makin’ this sound soft… Tim Thugga’s on tha 1^st verse and it’s good wit tha voice; “they some characters, girl.” I have to say, I agree wit Tim, even though he’s his own “character,” wit how great he comes through on tha tracks, not like everyone else’s boring, stale voices… Tha hook ain’t too bad; thank God there’s no a-tune ‘cause I would’ve skipped this, if so! Got Beezy Bird on tha 2^nd verse, and I have to say, these are some entertainin’ rhymes; nice job! Can’t deny what Beezy brings to tha table! A lil’ bit of a 3^rd verse from ADORE; good for my gurl Alexia, I guess? Not too bad, overall… My Rating: 3.9


½time: I made it to tha ½ mark, so far, and y’all are at a nice, 4.4 for tha CD rating, currently!!!!


09. “Check Out My” Feat. BluBlack
Wow, did I jynx it? I said, “A walking nipple slip…,” before I saw tha ID/heard tha track, and I guess I’m right! >>> Who’s “C Real”? Sounds like a watered-down version of a 225-soundin’ beat, but it’s not bad; I’m sayin’ what I’m sayin’ ‘cause it sounds like a mainstream-soundin’ beat… Either way, I like tha hook, as it’s nice and repetitive! Got Beezy Bird on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some shit to “check out”; gotta feel him! Thumbs up fa tha consistency!! As for tha 2^nd verse, it’s dat boy Tim Thugga!! Doesn’t exactly sound like him (since I thought it was someone else on tha hook); really feelin’ tha voice and attitude!! Nice job, Tim!! Got tha 3^rd verse up next, and—oh wait, tha hot Amy Schumer’s poppin’ up in my head? What, “tha most pissed off winners of 2011”? “A walking nipple slip waitin’ ta happen”? “Cookoo for Coco… Puffs, or whatever”? Amy Schumer to tha rescue!!! Yea, I like them quotes! Wish I could see some 40 Winningest Winners of 2011 on VH1, again; hope she’ll host tha 2012 ones, too, if they even have it! Yea, tell ‘em: “And her ass later…;” good job, girl! Oh wait, what happened? Guess I didn’t get ta review tha 3^rd verse; oh well, guess an acknowledgement’ll boost my priorities! Thank God I’m 23, turnin’ 24 now!! Gonna be possibly drivin’ to New York all by myself in three dayz! I think my family has faith in me, now, especially since they see me carin’ more about me, rather than random people that don’t respect what I do/are not loyal! I gon keep bein’ a bad-azz and keep bein’ self-absorbed!! My Rating: 4.4


10. “Showin’ Off”
Let’s see this; I know there was somethin’ about this online, I think… >>> C Real must be doin’ this beat, too, since I heard a beat tag. Damn, I hope people retire them beat tags fa 2012; gettin’ annoyin’ and they’re hella insecure. It’s like, what happened to surprises? As for this song, I like this beat slightly better, and tha hook’s pretty nice!! Good job wit Tim Thugga on tha 1^st verse; nice shout out ta “Lil’ Boxx.” Keep your “flash out” attitude, Tim; it’s all about showin’ tha fake what’s real!! For me, I rather be quiet; I can “flash out” in my own house, but not to people, to where I get arrested. Let’s see what we got for tha 2^nd verse… Beezy Bird’s comin’ through wit some anti-“fake” rhymes; you know we all can’t stand them unloyal people! It’s like, how can you be unloyal? How can you be negative?!? My Rating: 4.3


11. “Lookin’ For Me” Feat. Carterboy
Carter Boy from Da Gremlins? Y’all have tha name as a compound word (“Carterboy”), so are they different? Lemme hear… >>> Feelin’ tha production, whether it’s original or not! It works greatly for y’all, especially Tim Thugga! Good shit wit tha hook; time ta locate tha Thugga, lol! Didn’t expect this song ta be almost five minutes long, but I’ll deal wit it… Good shit, once again, from Tim, on tha 1^st verse; that voice iz undeniable when it comes ta this consistent shit!!! LOL, Tim Thugga on tha 2^nd verse, again? Can’t be; iz it dat Carter Boy dude? Whateva this iz, it sounds like they’re affiliated wit y’all… If this iz Carter, then no, this ain’t tha same one from MVP Entertainment; no wonder why his name’s a compound word. Yea, I heard him say his name toward tha end of tha verse… Some Beezy Bird on tha 3^rd verse, here, also becomin’ a target! Now, it’s a mission ta locate tha Bird, lol! Good job wit tha tight/consistent shit you bringin’ to tha table, Beezy; gotta feel it! My Rating: 4.3


12. “Go Hard” Feat. Sims & S.O.S.
ROFL, what happened to tha “Or Go Home” in tha title? Funny, especially since it’s 1.5x longer than tha video version! For me, this a classic-soundin’ song; definitely caught my attention on a 1^st listen!! Y’all a great team, between To Tha Dirt Records + New Go Get It Music = Real Street Music! Beezy does a real nice job wit tha hook; it’s almost like you’ll be dyin’ ta kick it wit him, and do some tight business/songs wit him! Gotta give props ta Tim Thugga, too, wit tha 2^nd verse; he everything “in this game!” Let’s see what this last 1:57 iz… ROFL, an unsourced, random appearance from Sims, here! Why’d you guys leave him outta tha DatPiff ID? There’s nothin’ wrong wit him; he ain’t no “walking nipple slip,” even though I neva got access to send him his 2009 awards… Sounds like S.O.S. on tha 4^th verse, but I dunno who’s on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 4^th verse? S.O.S., can you please give Obeeze his 2009 awards, already?! Sounds like someone. Unfortunately, I can’t put anyone in tha ID of tha 2^nd ½ of tha 4^th verse, due to I can’t tell their voice. But, I rather it just end wit Sims…; should I consider this a remix? My Rating: 4.5


13. “Fast Train” Feat. STREETz
Who’s this feature and why are they in caps? >>> A good start, so far… Tha 1^st verse ain’t bad; I feel like I’m likin’ this hook a lil’ betta! Really feelin’ tha whole vibe of this “fast train,” ya feel me? This Streetz dude’s on tha 2^nd verse; good job wit tha collaboration, teamin’ up wit tha Bird and tha Thugga! Time ta have a Beezy Bird “bulletproof” dinner, for tha 3^rd verse, lol! He’d “pull [his] whole dick out and piss on you?!” Damn, what an attackin’ bird!!! What do we got for this 4^th verse? Iz it Tim—no, it’s not!! My 30-year-old cousin just died last month (last serious death in tha family since December 1, 2004); I rather think about him than hear tha ending!! My Rating: 4.3


14. “Gun Speak” Feat. Yungmoney Slim & Tweezy
Let’s see what dis ‘bout… >>> Wow, pretty crazy wit Beezy Bird and his “gun” talk!! Tha 23^rd’ll mark four years since I had a 9mm to me; glad I’ve neva seen a gun since! Crazy shit from Beezy, here, but I kinda can’t say anything about Young Maniac, on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 1^st verse, ‘cause he owes me an acknowledgement. Sorry, this iz no offense; you gotta fix what you caused! Wonder who this Tweezy dude iz on tha 2^nd verse? Not bad; I can deal wit it… Ooh, tha crazy-ass Tim Thugga on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 2^nd verse!! When was tha last time y’all had, or seen a “gun”? Iz it really daily? Glad that for me, it’s been every four years, so far (since 2004 was tha previous time before ’08)! My Rating: 4.6


15. “Shit On You”
Gotta hear it! >>> Sounds good; what else can I say? Beezy Bird’s comin’ through wit tha hook, throwin’ some “shit on [y’all],” lol! Really likin’ dat hook, especially all tha shittin’!! Beezy’s also comin’ through on tha 1^st verse, wit his great character and how he holds it down for tha streetz!! Damn, I hope I get unmixed, unDJ’d versions of these songs so I can get ‘em on tha air!! Got Tim Thugga on tha 2^nd verse, and this iz pretty tight wit how he sounds wit tha beat! Givin’ a thumbs up ta tha Thugga, once again; almost sounds like his “shit” sounds like a splattin’ gun! My Rating: 4.5


16. “Swagg” Feat. Carterboy, Jigg-Three & Tweezy
Not really into tha title, but let’s see what happens wit all tha people. >>> Oh no, a beat tag hidden in tha beginning… Damn, 6:25 on tha length? Hope it holds up! Well, despite tha title, Tim Thugga sounds nice on tha hook! Must be Carterboy on tha 1^st verse? Even strapped up? Wonder what age he learned to have a gun; by tha way, I’m a virgin wit guns, since I neva touched one (and prolly neva will)! Now call that somethin’ different when people say, “not pill music!” Do we got Tim Thugga on tha 2^nd verse? Yup, comin’ through wit some tight shit, here; he don’t stop wit dis shit!! Got tha 3^rd verse from Tweezy? Shouldn’t he be above Jigg-Three? Okay wit tha verse, here; not much ta say… Okay, I’m a lil’ confused; Beezy Bird’s on tha 4^th verse, comin’ through wit a nice vibe, once again. Oh, here’s Jigg-Three (I think), on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 4^th verse, and it sounds off-beat, but tha consistency ain’t too bad… My Rating: 4.2


17. “Haters”
Just Tim Thugga? Gotta hear it! >>> Damn, endin’ it wit an old, Young Jeezy, always-used beat…? I’m likin’ tha rhymes; decent on this beat… My Rating: 3.8


Overall: Nice job wit tha mixtape! I feel honored to be a part of it, especially #1 on tha whole thang!!! Definitely a nice job collaboratin’ wit each other; gotta ride dis one ‘til tha wheels fall off!!
