Review #1,902: Silkk The Shocker "Made Man"

Reviewed on 12.25.2019 (Review #1,902)

Here comes anotha review: Silkk The Shocker Made Man, released in 1999 on No Limit Records & Priority Records…! Start Time: 5:20 PM | End Time: 6:50 PM

Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

© 2019 CD Review (Review #1,902) reviewed on 12.25.2019 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.

Link To CD: N/A

01. “The Day I Was Made”

Producer: O’Dell

>>> Sounds like an okay intro, here… Sounds like spoken-word rappin’, here? Bad flow; barely wanted to pay attention…! My Rating: 2.1

02. “Somebody Like Me” feat. Mýa

Producer: Whole Records

>>> Interestin’ collab; I always thought Mýa was a hottie…! Great job wit her on tha hook; she definitely provides tha singin’ nicely! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s okay wit your rhymes; sounds like you wanna speak more than rap, tho? Likin’ Mýa’s background vocals, every now & then…! Tha 2^nd verse not bad but I can’t believe I like tha singin’ tha most outta tha track, here! That’s a rare feat! Mýa sounds like INOJ “Love You Down” when she sings, “You really are too ghetto fa me;” sounds good… Once again, Silkk, if you coulda had a betta flow, I woulda liked this betta… I’ll give it tha benefit of tha doubt & give it a flat 4.0, at least… My Rating: 4.0

03. “It Ain’t My Fault 2” feat. Mystikal

Producer: Craig B

My Current Rating: 4.5

04. “Ghetto Rain” feat. Master P & O’Dell

Producer: Craig B

>>> Tha beat a lil’ soft fa me, here… Hearin’ tha hook from O’Dell & it cool fa singin’; not too bad… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from P & it’s pretty straight-forward; nice aggression… Here you are on tha 2^nd verse & I’m not feelin’ this spoken-word rappin’! It’s like you got tha Mr. Serv-On curse, smh! I do feel tha “you see me smilin’? I’m just camouflagin’ my problems” line, as that’s what I’m goin’ through, right nah. People don’t know what I’m goin’ through, so they only see tha positives, fa now… My Rating: 2.4

05. “This Is 4 My”

Producer: KLC

>>> Beat sounds good; rhymes on tha 1^st verse good & tha flow’s just a touch betta… Tha hook str8; I fucks wit it, even tho I’m not too crazy wit how this sounds, overall… Tha 2^nd verse okay; I gotta get mo used ta you, I guess? My Rating: 3.4

06. Commercial One

>>> Ouch @ tha “real name;” nice lil’ commercial… My Rating: N/A

07. “You Know What We ‘Bout” feat. Jay-Z & Master P

Producer: Craig B

>>> Sounds like an anthemic beat & hook, here; let’s see how tha verses go… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it ehh/okay; I guess it flows, right? Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on from Jigga, here… I may not like him but he sound good wit this contribution, here; nice job, Jigga… Got tha 3^rd verse from P, here, soundin’ nice; good shit, I guess? He “run this like drug money,” accordin’ ta tha success of No Limit… “Pass tha weed ‘cause souljaz like to…;” you know what it iz! I’m a tru soulja, most definitely! My Rating: 3.8

08. “I Want To Be With You” feat. O’Dell

Producer: KLC & O’Dell

>>> Sounds like a good lil’ call; a lil’ bit of fuck action finna pop off? Sounds like she sick of you & tha “studio,” here; she wanna “shop,” instead? I’ono but let’s see how y’all do wit this track… Hearin’ tha beat & it sounds good; almost sounds like it goes wit Christmas, despite today bein’ Christmas? Tha hook sounds catchy wit O’Dell, this time; good shit… Got tha 1^st verse from you & it decent; I’ll just say dat. Tha 2^nd verse from you sounds okay, as well; I guess it’s just tha way you rap wit this flow? Tha rest consists of hooks & O’Dell singin’; not bad, tho kinda below-average fa me… My Rating: 3.1

09. “All Because Of You” feat. Mia X

Producer: KLC
>>> Sounds like an okay hook & beat, here; not much ta say… Mia on tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through wit some okay/good rhymes… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from you & it’s ehh… Also, tha beat sounds annoying with tha mixin’ & beatboxin’; doesn’t mix well? My Rating: 2.6

10. “No Limit” feat. Fiend & Mystikal

Producer: KLC
>>> “N-O-L-I-M-I-T” fa tha hook, here; anthemic & nice, this time…! Fiend + You = $ucce$$, or should I say, “N-O-L-I-M-I-T!” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you & it str8; sounds good wit tha aggression… Diggin’ Mystikal’s short appearance but why so minimal? My Rating: 4.2

½time: Not really goin’ as great as I thought this would go… Your flow doesn’t impress me, most of tha time; gotta work on it! Your features do help you out, at times, especially Mystikal; a 3.3-rated CD, so far…

11. “End Of The Road” feat. Sons Of Funk

Producer: Sons Of Funk

>>> Sounds slow & spoken-wordish on tha 1^st verse, here…; I’ono… Hearin’ tha hook wit tha SoF singin’ & it’s not that great fa me; no sad songs…! Keepin’ tha 2^nd verse goin’ on wit tha sadness; sucks, especially when you wish “it was [you],” in tha “casket.” Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & I don’t really have any comments ta continue wit this one… My Rating: 1.9

12. “We Won’t Stop” feat. Master P & C-Murder

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Beat sounds okay, here… Hearin’ tha hook from P & it sounds good wit P reppin’ fa his “tank’s in tha wall” & tha movement… Keepin’ it movin’ wit P on tha 1^st verse & it sounds good… Got tha 2^nd verse from C, here, soundin’ good; felt short but I’m glad he contributed… Hearin’ you on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit some betta-soundin’ shit; good aggression, too… My Rating: 4.1

13. “Mr. ‘99”

Producer: KLC
>>> You’re tha “Mr.” throughout tha 1^st verse, here; nice, includin’ tha okay-soundin’ beat, too… Tha hook blends in nicely wit tha track, thanx ta all these “mista” parts; good job… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it str8; nothin’ else ta really say… My Rating: 3.7

14. “It Takes More” feat. Ghetto Commission

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Sounds good wit tha hook & beat, here; nothin’ but Louisiana music I’m drownin’ in, these dayz! Gotta luv it, as I’m progressin’ wit my work ethic…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good wit tha GC; good shit…! Mo GC shit on tha 2^nd verse, here, keepin’ this N.L.-for-tha-N.O. shit comin’! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & I’m feelin’ tha aggression. Glad this has nothin’ slackin’ wit it; true No Limit shit, here! My Rating: 4.3

15. “If It Don’t Make $”
Producer: DJ Whop
>>> Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it str8; beat decent ta rap on, too, wit some nice bass… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s your typical “if it don’t make $, then it don’t make sense” shit; not bad… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it str8, as well; a decent lil’ track, here… My Rating: 3.5

16. “It’s Going Around Outside” feat. Rico of Sons Of Funk

Producer: Rico

>>> Sounds dry & sappy, here; not feelin’ tha singin’ vibe on tha 1^st verse… Then, your spoken-word rhymes come, here; does it even fit right fa a rap song?? Can’t feel it; sounds more like it shoulda been an outro… My Rating: 1.2

17. “Put It On Something” feat. Mia X

Producer: Craig B
>>> Beat str8; hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & this flow ain’t fa me, speakin’ & shit… Hearin’ tha hook & it aight; fuck tha liarz & just do you! Hearin’ Mia on tha 2^nd verse & it str8 fa this below-average track… Got you on tha 3^rd verse, here, keepin’ that spoken shit goin’… My Rating: 2.0

18. Commercial Two

>>> Sounds okay wit this chick speakin’… I like how you flip “It Ain’t My Fault” into “it ain’t my type,” here; nice…! My Rating: N/A

19. “Southside Niggas” feat. Master P & C-Murder

Producer: Mo B. Dick

>>> Beat nice & hype, here; feelin’ what’s goin’ on… C on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some nice shit fa tha No Limit fam… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds nice; all about tha “southside” representation…! Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse & this sounds betta fa tha spoken-word shit; not bad… Mo shit from you, here, on tha 3^rd verse? Did I miss P? I’ono but I guess he blended in here, somewhere… My Rating: 3.9

20. “Get It Up” feat. Snoop Dogg

Producer: Beats By The Pound

>>> Sounds good fa this west vs. south beat, here… Snoop on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some nice flava fa you, here; good shit… Hearin’ Snoop on tha hook & yeah, dis dat No Limit party, here; nice…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds good wit you, here; not bad wit tha flow, as well…! Got you on tha 3^rd verse, wit some Snoop parts & it sounds nice; nice lil’ endin’ track, overall… My Rating: 4.2

Overall: Fell below tha average mark, as far as my ratings go… Didn’t really like your flow, as it was more on tha spoken-word/Mr. Serv-On tip, here… Some of your features were able ta help you out but fa tha most part, a bunch of shit didn’t fit on here…

01. “At Last”

>>> Tha beat ain’t too bad that you chose. Sounds like you doin’ a nice, catchy job wit tha rappin’! Pretty consistent; 18 bangaz on this CD ta keep it goin’! My Rating: 4.3

02. Skit

>>> Agreed on why so many rap and shit. My Rating: N/A

03. “Guess Who”

>>> A Stevie Drumma beat? Thought it would be one of those jacked beats but this iz good—good ear fa beats! Sounds like you’re a lil’ on tha grimy side here, lol. Go, Show, go! My Rating: 4.4

04. “Black & Red”

>>> LOL, tha title says it all wit tha beat! You doin’ ya thang on this beat; definitely catchy! My Rating: 4.1

05. “Closer To My Dreams”

>>> I don’t get why everyone’s usin’ this beat all of a sudden. It’s like, ’04 was so long ago; we’re in ’10 (wit this mixtape)! Regardless of tha distraction, tha consistent rappin’ iz good. Not likin’ how tha lady sounded on tha hook; didn’t even sound like Goapele in tha Early ‘00s. My Rating: 3.7

06. Skit 2
>>> Thanx for tha skit again. My Rating: N/A

07. “I’ll Be Waiting”

>>> I like tha pace on this; sounds pretty catchy! Oh, of course, it’s Stevie Drumma on tha beat! Very catchy and tha rappin’ iz on ‘n’ poppin’! My Rating: 4.4

08. “Tell Me How U Feel” Feat. Famous Stranger

>>> Anotha Stevie Drumma production! This iz anotha catchy song; good shit you spittin’, Show! You keep it goin’ to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.3

09. Show Drop

>>> Introducin’ a 17-year-old? Must be anticipatin’… maybe? My Rating: N/A

½time: A 4.2-rated Show mixtape; definitely consistent and on a betta tip!

10. “Walk In The Park” Feat. Cypher

>>> I hope I spelled his name right. I’ll check tha blog that I found this off of to make sure. This dude sounds pretty consistent; nice shit! However, hope he true for a 17-year-old. Damn, I just checked tha blog and this ain’t there; didn’t see his name. This iz a pretty-good collaboration; nothin’ but tightness! My Rating: 4.5

11. “Miss Me (Freestyle)”

>>> What’s up wit tha gay-ass hook? I thought you’re smart enough ta not have someone suckin’ dick to appear on your mixtape. BTW, for those that don’t know, I consider someone suckin’ dick equivalent to someone still usin’ A-Tune at this time! Luckily, tha gay shit didn’t appear again, so that’s a plus. You did a good job rappin’, though! My Rating: 2.9

12. “Free Mason (Freestyle)”
>>> Sounds much betta. See, now that there’s no gayness, tha rating’ll be normal again! Really consistent on this beat; good job! My Rating: 4.4

13. “Hard In The Paint”

>>> No “freestyle” in tha title? :confused Still sounds good, regardless; nice job. My Rating: 3.9

14. “Real Nigga Swag”

>>> SMH; I’ll skim through this! Prolly betta than anybody else could rap on it but way too silly for me/not my style! My Rating: 2.6

15. Show Drop

>>> Maybe you can do a drop fa my radio show one day. My Rating: N/A

16. “Love The Way U Lie”

>>> I think you should put tha “freestyle” in tha titles that have tha same titles although tha length iz longer so it’s not actually a freestyle. Even though a Pop perspective, this ain’t bad. SMH @ tha hook; what tha hell? My Rating: 3.1

17. “Never Give In”

>>> Even though this beat ain’t too bad, I don’t get tha need ta have a gay-soundin’ voice-sample in tha beat. Tha rappin’ ain’t too bad, either. Some of tha shit on here was betta, though! My Rating: 3.4

18. “This Game”

>>> What’s up wit tha long beat intro? At least it was not bad… Kinda decent; I don’t know what ta say… I’m actually likin’ how tha hook sounds wit tha female, too. My Rating: 3.7

Overall: Kinda slippery toward tha end but at least there were pluses, frequently.

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): Not Available


01. “Show Must Go On”
Let’s see how you do wit this mixtape fa me… >>> Anticipatin’ beat start… Yea, this beat’s DEFINITELY official; sounds like an 80’s beat sample… Also 80’s, sounds like Wham!/George Michael on tha sample here, which iz a big plus fa this kinda shit… Almost sounds like a shout out list for tha intro but ‘round 1:09, tha rappin’s finally here! Pretty kick-ass wit tha rhymes here!! Now, I can get you on my radio show ‘cause this shit sounds pretty tight and that’s what I’m about! Didn’t expect dis ta be a whole verse although it iz an intro track… Very consistent wit all tha shit you spittin’ here; bringin’ your A-game!! My Rating: 4.6


02. “Good Life” Feat. Mannie Fresh
Let’s see this one… >>> Wit Mannie Fresh in tha beginning, it reminds me of if he produced this too… Pretty cool hook here and tha quality sounds good; glad this ain’t depressin’ or anything! Sounds like you’re comin’ through cool on tha 1st verse wit your realness! Tha 2nd verse still sounds catchy wit tha kick-ass beat sounds!! LOL, are you cool wit my boy Dirty Harry from Napoleonville? I heard a, “bwoy,” right when tha 3rd verse started and Dirty Harry’s known fa makin’ dat catchy… Pretty good verse once again; glad you bringin’ this hot quality fa tha N.O.! My Rating: 4.2


03. “Doin’ My Thang” Feat. Stevie Drumma & Mannie Fresh
>>> Let’s see what’s good wit Stevie Drumma on tha beat… Tha hook sounds like I heard it before? Not sure when or where but it’s catchy; feelin’ tha beat here wit tha vibe! So far, only three jointz in, this CD has a GR8 amount of rhythm in tha songs!! Tha 1st verse sounds cool; sounded like a feature “doin’ they thang!” Keepin’ it goin’, here’s tha CONSISTENT tightness of you on tha 2nd verse here!! LOL, Stevie Drumma even hopped onto tha track (only time I noticed him was on dat “Sit Still” joint)! Sorry dat I don’t know tha 1st feature but if I see that person somewhere, then I’ll add him to tha list… Glad you got Drumma on tha mic, Show! LMAO, wit 28 seconds left, this joint ain’t ova yet ‘cause Mannie Fresh’s rappin’ on tha 4th verse; pretty tight too!! My Rating: 4.4


04. “One Minute Workout”
A freestyle track? >>> Damn, you have a GR8 ear for beats, N.O. style!! None of that borin’ shit here; just strictly tight shit!! Of course, you have tha mic on lock here wit all tha consistent rhymin’!! My Rating: 4.3


05. “Like A Gypsy”
I think you have an extra “s” in tha title; it’s “gypsy,” not “gyspsy.” Anyway, let’s keep it goin’!! >>> More Stevie Drumma shit on tha beat here! Usually, I’d think tha 1st ½ of tha hook’s pretty scary wit tha vocals but because this sounds like some “gypsy/Aladdin”-type shit on tha beat, I think I’m definitely feelin’ it! It’s only 2:35 anyway so I can tolerate it… A short 1st verse from you and it sounds like you’re in tha “gypsy” mode here, lol. Tha 2nd verse may sound cool but some of tha shit (e.g., tha “Swag Surfin’” song quote) kinda bores me. But, you did ya thang fa this quick joint… My Rating: 3.9


06. “The Way I Do”
Let’s see this long song… >>> Oh, I’m feelin’ this beat start! Tha hook sounds like you’re bringin’ anotha cool style to tha mic! Tha 1st verse iz dat GR8 N.O. sound fa tha streetz here; ERR-BODY must luv your music to tha fullest!! Tha 2nd verse’s also showin’ luv ta those dat luv dat “real music;” GR8 quality here, Show!! I feel cool ta hear you when tha “kush burn” in tha hook, ya dig! VERY “green” start to tha 3rd verse, lol; you KNOW I keep it “green” to tha fullest! My grandma (who’s house I’m stayin’ at right now) had a shampoo bottle and it had its last drop in it. I didn’t tell her to get a new bottle right away; I used tha last lil’ drop for two months! You KNOW I make people save their dollaz!! Nice job on tha verse too; glad you keepin’ this shit hot! My Rating: 4.4


07. “I Made It”
>>> Uh oh, anotha Stevie Drumma beat!! Sounds like anotha catchy hook! At first when I hear some of these songs, I think they gon be a touch on tha Pop side. But, ALL these jointz be impressin’ me wit catchy sounds and vibes!! Sounds like you’re really bringin’ some real, gutta shit in tha 1st verse; good shit!! Tha 2nd verse has you spittin’ catchy rhymes here; good shit! Tha “-head-shit” shit ‘round 2:20 sounds pretty tight; I like how you did it twice in a row! My Rating: 4.0


08. “Hustle, Grind” Feat. Mannie Fresh
I like a title like this so you know I gon feel it! >>> Anotha “Stevie Drumma” production, I see? Tha last beat sounded a lil’ more catchier but this song sounds a lil’ betta fa me; really likin’ dat hook wit tha beat! LOL @ tha money “tryin’ ta tackle you;” catchy line! LOL, short-ass 1st verse? I guess you tryna fit three wit a good outro… Tha 2nd verse sounds real tight here!! You started it off REAL GR8, ya dig!! LOL, here comes Mannie Fresh on tha 3rd verse! Pretty good; an okay lil’ feature although I think you would’ve been betta, Show. My Rating: 4.3


09. “Betta Have My Money” Feat. Mannie Fresh
Let’s see dis title! >>> Okay, this iz a lil’ different wit tha soundin’ fa me for a start; this iz like Pop-Rap for tha start… Sounds like Big Boi on tha hook? Don’t know who it iz but it breezed by… You’re on tha 2nd ½ of tha hook and I keep thinkin’ it’s a verse… LOL, a Mannie Fresh 1st verse here? He did a “back 2 back” verse thing here, lol. LOL, a lot’s goin’ on in tha 2nd verse here; Mannie Fresh said, “bruh,” outta nowhere too. I don’t know who tha Big Boi-soundin’ dude iz but this iz pretty catchy and all ova tha place at tha same time. My Rating: 3.8


½time: So far, it’s DEFINITELY on ‘n’ poppin’ for ya, Show!! You have a NICE 4.2 average CD rating so far for an N.O. CD/mixtape; that’s DEFINITELY what’s up!!


10. “iPhone Text” Feat. Stevie Drumma
This looks Popish on tha title now; hope I didn’t jynx it from when I called tha last song “Pop-Rap”… >>> Not feelin’ this beat start; I don’t know how much it’ll turn out ta be… Scary start to tha hook… I didn’t even realize it was sayin’ tha title at first, lol… LMAO, randomly (‘cause tha features aren’t on tha mp3 info), Stevie Drumma’s on tha 1st verse wit his funny-ass vocals! At least he’s givin’ me interest in this Pop-Rap song! Tha 2nd verse was tha singer…; no comment from me. You’re on tha 3rd verse wit all your textin’, which REALLY reminds me of Tina Ann’s “LOL (Miss Skinny Jeans)” joint from last year wit all tha textin’ styles, lol (lol)! My Rating: 3.4


11. “Baggage”
I luv tha “Baggage” TV show on GSN right now ‘cause it’s real interestin’ when it comes ta relationships… Now, let’s see what kinda “baggage” you bringin’ here… >>> Tha beat’s good/decent fa me; I like tha instruments… Sounds like you’re really doin’ a nice job here wit tha rappin’! LOL, tha hook’s pretty tight; I like tha rhymin’, includin’ tha title’s part! Tha 2nd verse sounds like you’re keepin’ tha topic on ‘n’ poppin’ here… Tha 3rd verse’s straight; catchy lil’ song here… LOL @ tha cold endin’… My Rating: 4.1


12. “Red Writing”
Like this title; what’ll it bring? >>> Hot lil’ sample for tha beat start! Your production’s DEFINITELY on point here! Real shit goin’ on here in tha 1st verse; likin’ it ‘cause tha production’s hot ta go wit it and nothin’ depressin’ at all! Tha 2nd verse’s good also wit how you just doin’ ya thang wit this song! My Rating: 4.2


13. “Mind Of A D-Boy”
This iz 5.5 minutes long; let’s see how good it iz… >>> Slow, Rock-type start here but tha start to tha 1st verse sounds pretty tight wit tha “cocaine!” You did ya thang deliverin’ tha 1st verse to tha fullest! Tha hook’s good; why iz there “snitches?” Sounds like a lot goin’ on in tha 2nd verse… Tha 3rd verse has a lot goin’ on but this iz slowly boring me a lil’… LMAO, it just cut off at tha end! My Rating: 3.6


14. “My Face”
>>> Okay beat start; sounds like you’d rap good on it! Yea, you definitely have a lot goin’ on in tha 1st verse, representin’ fa yourself to tha fullest! Tha hook’s cool; I think it sounds catchy, especially tha “black smoke” shit. Tha 2nd verse’s comin’ through wit some mo hot shit! Now dat I’m hearin’ tha hook for tha 2nd time, it just sounds like it goes REAL hard, ya dig!! More catchy shit comin’ outta tha 3rd verse here too… My Rating: 4.4


15. “Hustle, Grind, Clubbin’”
LOL, iz this tha same song as “Hustle, Grind”? >>> Sounds different wit tha Stevie Drumma production tag in tha beginning… This iz pretty cool for a start; let’s see which one I like betta… Tha 1st verse’s pretty cool, ya dig… Tha 2nd verse iz someone on tha feature and they sound pretty good too; havin’ a good time here wit this joint… Sounds like someone else iz on tha 3rd verse and they sound good fa this Rap shit; representin’ to tha fullest! I liked tha 1st version betta but this iz still cool; wish I knew who was featured… My Rating: 4.1


16. “Till The Edge Of Death”
Let’s hear what’s good wit this… >>> Wow, pretty TIGHT wit tha attitude and vocals on tha hook here!!! Wonder who dat dude iz? They’re on tha 1st verse and it sounds cool wit tha mixin’; iz this really somethin’ mixed, lol? Now, it sounds like you, lol? Good, catchy rhymes from you before tha 3rd hook comes on… LOL, it sounds like tha Big Boi dude on tha final verse; almost sounded like some exciting talkin’ or somethin’ in tha beginning of tha verse, lol! My Rating: 4.5


17. “All Around The Globe”
Let’s see this one… >>> Tha production sounds familiar and this iz pretty good for a start wit tha catchiness… Long hook, lol? Not bad on tha 1st verse from you; you sound like you’re always focused and gainin’ somethin’! Sounds like John Legend or somethin’ on tha song? Not bad wit tha rest of tha song… Why iz there like 40 seconds of silence at tha end? My Rating: 3.5


18. “I Ain’t Shit”
A pretty tight title ta end thangz; let’s see what we got… >>> Ooh, “roll tha weed up” fa a start here on tha 1st verse! Tha hook’s pretty cool fa what it iz; you have a good attitude here. Tha 2nd verse sounds like you just keepin’ it movin’… You even doin’ ya thang on tha 3rd verse here; good “shit!” My Rating: 4.1

Review #153: Mannie Fresh & DJ Wop Presents The Show "Victory Lap (The Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 11.10.2008 (Review No. 153)

Watz good today this ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog. I'm in tha middle of my 4 hour break from classes right now (as I'm home instead of at tha college). I gotta go back at 2 so I HOPE I can finish this before (like) 1:30 so I can post it online. I heard about this dude The Show from Alex McConduit's show, "The Hip-Hop Spot with Alex McConduit," as I heard some jointz. I'm more familiar wit him on Mannie Fresh's single, "I'mma Get Mine," and a track off of Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I.'s latest album, "On The Inside Looking Out," called "No Joking," which I loved! We'll see how he does when I review his WHOLE mixtape wit Fresh & DJ Wop. Here goes my review for Mannie Fresh & DJ Wop Presents The Show "Victory Lap (The Mixtape)"! BTW, after this review, I HAVE NO SCHEDULED REVIEWS TO DO!! OMG… I finally get a break, lol? I've had fallen behind wit reviews since like June or some shit and I neva had a break from 'em so after this one, it's a break! Also, I'm gonna say this on every review I do for a while: FOR ANYONE READIN' THIS: Go check out my brand new music video, "Change Tha World," featuring Tha Wennipearl (my cousin Jen)!! It's a great song (written and produced by me) and a REAL GREAT music video (directed and 100% edited by me)! | Start Time: 11:52 AM | Video Game Playing: The Legend Of Zelda – Ocarina Of Time (for Nintendo 64) (on my computer)



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!

© 2008 CD Review (Review #153) reviewed on 11.10.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.

01. Intro
That's cool that it's directed by Mannie Fresh for an intro. BTW, without even reviewin' any jointz yet, this review iz 4 pages long already, lol (that's 'cause there's 38 jointz and I had to number this Word document from 1-38); that's watz good. Let's hear how this intro gon sound… >>> Kinda long towards tha end but nice direction for this intro. My Rating: N/A
EDIT: I looked at tha mp3s and tha ones that have "cameo appearances" as featured artists; tha ones that have "directed by" appearances are tha producers.


02. "Prove Somethin'" Feat. Poppa
Ooh Stevie Drumma on tha beat/directed this one. I have a high anticipation level 'cause I know this gon have that quality sound to it! Lookin' forward as I'm not 100% sure of Stevie Drumma's productions as I mainly know him from "Sit Still" and 1 or 2 otha jointz from Dizzy's latest CD… >>> Great start to tha 1st verse wit tha "12 years runnin', neva stopped for a breathin'." You sound a lil' like Dee-1 Show; still got that same, cool swag and flow wit rappin'. Tha 1st verse was insane, especially wit tha lyrics! Tha 2nd verse iz just as good; wow, NICE ending wit tha "I'm gone!" and then tha cold endin' wit tha explosion. My Rating: 4.4


03. "Enough About You" Feat. Mannie Fresh
Mannie Fresh co.starrin' this shit/featured on it and produced it; that's a good chunk of Mannie right there. Let's see how much of "enough" you've have "about…" who? >>> It doesn't sound like him on tha beat but that's a REAL NICE beat!! Great 1st verse, fa'real! Now, I'm hearin' tha hook and hearin' tha "enough about you, you, you!" part and realized that "it's about me, me, me;" that's a nice way to do tha hook Fresh. Speakin' of him, here he iz on tha 2nd verse… Pretty nice verse from him. Ooh, there's a 3rd verse on this… Of course, you're "keepin' it 100;" no wait, "102." That's more like you Show; you're on FUCKIN' fire wit this Rap shit!! My Rating: 4.2


04. Radio Interlude
What's goin' on wit tha radio, Show, Wop and Fresh? >>> A lil' random wit those random radio tuning things goin' on but yeah, it hit tha right dial: where The Show came on at tha end/goin' into No. 5 on here! My Rating: N/A


05. "Starstruck"
A cool title and new producer for me (Bass Heavy). Let's see if his "bass" iz "heavy" for this shit, lol! >>> Jammin' shit right chea. Likin' that beat and nothin''s betta than you rappin' on it, ya dig. This might've been a Crescent City Radio song 'cause that hook sounds familiar; REAL nice hook as it's catchy as well as its tightness!! I like how on tha 2nd verse, you mentioned about "you're always ahead 1 [lap]" 'cause it goes wit your mixtape title; good shit and nice 2nd verse! Hearin' tha hook again and really likin' it better! Great 3rd verse too! I'm glad your lyrical content iz not boring/not my style like most lyrical rappers! My Rating: 4.3


06. Show Talks
Yeah, I don't really need a breathin' right now; I'm WAY too busy eatin'/pickin' on Honey Bunches of Oats cereal (and just eatin' it non-stop wit no juice/water, no nothin'). But that ain't tha case. Whether me hungry for food iz a lil' distractin', I finna just keep this mixtape playin'! >>> Cool lil' skit and I'm real curious to know how Fresh picked you up! My Rating: N/A


07. "Freestyle"
Ceaux (that's a cool name however you say it) Young on tha beat! For a "freestyle," at least it's not a "jacked beat" and a beat someone brought fresh out tha oven! Let's see how good you are at freestyle (prolly A1 like A1 (Nu$$ie's manager))! >>> That's cool that you're an "80's baby" (as pretty much 95% of tha peeps I review are born in tha 80's); I'm an "80's baby" (6.21.1988 I hit tha Earth on Long Island, New York). Tha "piff/stress" part I'm feelin' right chea. Yeah, "failure NOT an option;" I definitely agree wit you as you not failin' wit ANYTHING, ya dig! Crazy shit all tha way through! My Rating: 4.2


08. "Switch That (Mannie Fresh Beats)"
What's this? A bunch of beats you're rappin' on (mixed by DJ Wop)? This should be interesting… >>> Ooh, it's long (4:36 on tha length). Likin' tha intro so far wit tha talkin'… DJ Wop fuckin' wit tha vinyls! Ooh, fast/old skool beat at :39! I know tha beat but it's kinda old for me to rememba… It started switchin' into "Set It Off" (mixin' at 1:12) and it's pretty hot!! At 1:43, it switched to "And Then What;" tha rhymes are tight and I don't want them to end wit all this mixin' goin' on!!! At 2:04, it switched to "Bring It Back" beat; likin' all tha random years of beats without bein' in an order! 2:25, it switched to "In My Life;" ahh… Late 2003/2004 was great!!! Great rhymes ova that beat! At 2:46, it's tha "Big Things Poppin' (Do It)" beat… You're keepin' that fire burnin'! Likin' tha "see tha money…" part! Cool that you're imitatin' tha "Big Things Poppin'" joint by sayin' "your shit floppin'…!" Glad this beat iz still on… I always really liked it so that was good that DJ Wop decided to keep this beat on this long! Great shit right here! Creative way to rap ova somethin' and this iz WHEN jacked beats don't become borin' when someone's rappin' ova 'em!! My Rating: 4.5


09. What About The Show Interlude
Yeah, I "want" to know "about The Show" right now! >>> LMAO @ 6 seconds on tha length! That was a nice lil' piece of somethin' sayin' "what about the show" ("the show" referin' to "The Show" (you)). My Rating: N/A


10. "Closer Than Close"
You can't get "closer than" that, lol! Mannie Fresh on this beat so let's see how close it gets to that 4.5 rating I gave as tha highest so far on here! >>> This beat sounds like somethin' (can't think of right now even though it says Mannie Fresh produced it); maybe it's just a sample in tha beat? I don't know… But, looks like you want this bitch badly. BTW, this a familiar beat 'cause I heard it on Crescent City Radio as I remember that fast hook; tha hook iz nice and just comes at'cha outta nowhere! Pretty nice 1st verse and 2nd verse so far… Nice lyrics on tha 3rd verse; very consistant shit here without makin' me doze off! My Rating: 4.0


11. Violator Drop
Watz good wit Violator? >>> Yup, just a drop and it was good. My Rating: N/A


12. "Stop My Shine" Feat. Mitchelle'l
I like tha title 'cause it reminds me of "Can't Stop My Shine" from Griffin, GA underground Rap group tha 92 Boys. I also like how that Michelle's name iz spelled, "Mitchelle'l;" that's cool. Let's see how this gon be wit a female on it… Oh yeah, an Ill Phil dude on tha beat so this iz new for me! >>> Didn't feel tha intro so far but then came tha 1st verse and OUTTA NOWHERE, "burn a blunt/that's weed in my clothes" comes right outta ya mouth and that caught my attention; real nice/cool shit right there!! NICE 1st verse and wow, in a good way, that Mitchelle'l girl sounds a lil' weird on her voice but I do like how she's singin' and that was a nice hook! This iz becomin' better than I thought it was (thanx to those first 2 bars sparkin' my attention fast)! I like tha "she say/I say" part on tha 2nd verse (like how Weezy did it in tha Mario "Crying Out For Me (Remix)"). It's a nice 2nd verse and wow, as soon as I thought tha hook was gonna come on, you're just continuing!! I like how you "signed off" tha 2nd verse and that tha HOT Mitchelle'l hook came back! I'm impressed here! I was predictin' like a 3.5/3.6 rating but now look: My Rating: 4.1


13. DJ Raj Smoove Drop
Let's hear what he got to say… >>> Ooh, he's from "tha 504?" That's REALLY watz good! I love Louisiana music/people "to tha fullest!" Ewe, how weird: When I was about to say "to tha fullest," he said it, lol!! My Rating: N/A


14. "I Will Not Lose"
That Ceaux dude on tha beat again… What did he cook up for you this time? >>> What's "EGMG" E__ G__ Music Group? Maybe I'll find out more later… Pretty nice, kick-ass beat here as it sounds like a New York type of beat that I would like (or even a Philly one). "10 years with flow" huh? That's cool and you're doin' pretty good on this shit. A catchy hook right here on this shit. Definitely feelin' that 2nd verse as it sounds NICE on tha boombox I'm listenin' to it on! Great shit! My Rating: 4.1


15. Victory Lap Drop
This iz prolly a 1st on anything I've reviewed: It played and finished before I could even type title/anything!!! LOL! That's 'cause I was playin' Zelda (Ocarina Of Time) and I had to light some things wit a deku stick and I didn't want tha flames to burn out so I missed to type No. 15. Anyway, lol, there wasn't really anything to say 'cause it was tha same "Violator Drop" as before. My Rating: N/A


16. "After The Storm II"
A "II" I see… I wonder what happened… No production credit? >>> That's 'cause it's Jay-Z's beat (which ALWAYS reminds me of Playaz Circle/Ludacris "Can You Believe It"). Likin' that "air through my wind-pipe" part. Even though I can't really get into tha beat that much, you make it to where it's not boring for me; nice and listenable! Towards tha last minute, tha lyrics are gettin' better and better! It's like there's a cliff underneath you and you're just pullin' up tha rope SOOOO MANY TIMES to get away from tha cliff and you're succeedin'! My Rating: 3.8


17. Chamillionaire Drop
What does he have to say? >>> That's cool that you got him on your mixtape to get a drop! My Rating: N/A


18. "Freestyle II"
Ceaux Young on tha "freestyle" beat again… Because I'm lookin' at a pic of Alexia, this girl I like at my new college, on my background, since her nickname iz Steve, I was wondering… Where did Stevie Drumma go? It was like No. 2 and that was it so far? Anyway, I gotta get into this fast… >>> It's a short one (1:26 on tha length). Ooh, "into tha mind of a real nigga;" nice start right there and I'm curious to get "into tha mind" of you right now! Head-bobbin' beat/shit right chea and you sound a lil' different here… I like tha "hyphen/period" part. Nice lil' shit here. My Rating: 3.7


19. "Dear Sucka"
I'm used to it bein' skit, then song, then skit, then song. I have a feelin' this a song but who knows. Let's see what comes outta it (no production credit also)… >>> It's a song. That first 10 seconds was random, but cool. Anotha sour beat (tha Memphis Bleek/Jay-Z beat "Dear Summer"; no wonder why tha title's like that) but you started pretty good in tha beginning! Cool "theme park" part on this. Likin' tha huge amount of lyrical content right here! Wow, even "let your nuts breathe?" That's right! Let Show relax a lil' for y'all listenin'! I'm glad you like "breathin'" as well as "money." LOL @ tha random "fuck you" at around 2:56. You ALWAYS have those NICE, cold endings wit tha "it's over/I'm out" type of shit and I like that! My Rating: 3.8


½time: Shit, it's 12:54 PM… My goal iz to be done in 36 minutes… I doubt it'll happen… But nice mixtape so far wit OUTSTANDIN' lyrical content and just great for my ears! You're not bleedin' my ears wit how you rap and shit so that's really watz good when I listen to tha rappers that go tha "lyrical" route.


20. Mannie Fresh Speaks
Finally, he's back at least! >>> A longer interlude (56 seconds long); perfect for tha ½time! Aight, I guess y'all need to ask you (Show) any questions about how your Rap business path took off. Oh, LOL @ Fresh at tha end wit tha "syke, just playin'." My Rating: N/A


21. "Whachulookinat" Feat. Mannie Fresh
Whitney Houston had tha title 6 years ago… How will Show do it with Mannie Fresh on tha beat? >>> Likin' tha beat start so far wit that typical Cash Money (back in tha day) type! Pretty cool verse right there on tha 1st verse and this must be your swag/club song 'cause it's pretty nice how it sounds! This sounds pretty good for tha mainstream people. Tha 2nd verse was not bad as well. Mannie's on this (an ID error); didn't expect that. He did a pretty nice lil' part. My Rating: 4.2


22. This Is Called The Show Scratch
Iz this a mix/turntable type of shit? >>> Now, that was some cool turntable/mix type of shit (that I predicted); I like tha part wit tha "the show" type of part (relatin' to you Show) at tha end. That was a nice lil' 6 seconds. My Rating: N/A


23. "Get By"
(Just like wit No. 21) Talib Kweli had tha title a lil' over a ½ decade ago… How will Show do it with Mannie Fresh on tha beat? >>> Triple 2 on tha length (2:22). This sounds more of a Fresh beat (like "Big Things Poppin' (Do It)"! That 1st verse was nice. This iz a better club banger type of song than "Whachulookinat;" I like tha "'cause I roll up…" part. Maybe that one had slightly better rhymes but this has a better type of hook/feel to it. I don't know now… I'm gonna tie tha rating and see what happens at tha end. My Rating: 4.2


24. (NY Giants) Corey Webster Drop
This should be an interesting drop… >>> Sounded like it was recorded off your phone; that sounded cool either way. My Rating: N/A


25. "Grind On" Feat. Big Dyce
Ooh neva heard of Big Dyce I don't think but I downloaded a 2003 mixtape of his that I'm gonna review in my Louisiana marathon of reviewin' old Louisiana shit (I have at least 130 CDs to review). I'm aimin' at like February 2009 for that (in honor of Black History Month). It's gonna be a long road but I hope to complete it; I'm all about accomplishin' thingz, ya dig! Anyway, Beats R Us on tha beat (I think I might've heard about them or some otha "R Us" type of people) so this should be interesting! >>> Sounds like an East Coast beat wit a small touch of Mannie Fresh added to it… Not bad on tha 1st verse and that's a real nice hook for tha hood! Pretty nice parts of you on tha 2nd verse, especially tha "Halloween" part. I'm hearin' Big Dyce on tha 3rd verse… That's cool that he "grew up in tha 7th [Ward] and 9th [Ward]." He sounds like a mix of an East Coast rapper wit a REAL HOOD New Orleans type of dude. I liked his 3rd verse and that hook iz just nice. My Rating: 3.8


26. My Favorite DJ Drop
Who iz that? Iz this a person or "your favorite DJ," lol? >>> That voice scared me in tha beginning but tha way she said it was GREAT. My Rating: N/A


27. "Burn"
Ooh, Stevie Drumma's back on tha beats! SMH @ it takin' 25 jointz to get back to him… Anyway, definitely lookin' forward to this! >>> Good start, sounds like some old Rock music bein' sampled in tha beginnin' or somethin' for some NICE Rap music. All tha rhymes are great and I'm likin' tha fast style in tha rappin' on tha 1st verse. Definitely a catchy/great hook; sounds like I heard it from somewhere almost… What iz it, like 150 words at least bein' spit in tha 2nd verse? It's so fast and so quality soundin' for tha ears! I thought there was gonna be a 3rd verse but I just realized there was 24 seconds left. My Rating: 4.3


28. Zaria Victory Lap Drop
Who iz this "Z" girl, lol? >>> LOL @ a real youngin'. You got pretty nice soundin' girlz on this mixtape Show; she sounded nice. My Rating: N/A


29. "Every 16" Feat. Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I. & Alizee
Huh? Where in tha world did this come outta? CONSISTANT Stevie Drumma on tha beat!! VERY HIGH ANTICIPATION level for this unexpected Dizzy collabo!!!!! >>> Good length wit 4:12 on tha length! Great beat and great start wit you on tha 1st verse! Great verse and great hook (hook sounds like I heard it on Crescent City Radio; not sure). I like tha "every 16" part in tha rest of tha hook. Ooh, Dizzy iz on tha 2nd verse (couldn't've had a better guess)! Already startin' this verse off without playin'!! Likin' tha "put that ass to bed like J. Holiday" part. He DEFINITELY did his thang on tha 2nd verse and OWNED this joint! Hearin' Alizee on tha 3rd verse… Sounds like a young, gutta girl. DEFINITELY nice on her part as this joint went hard! My Rating: 4.5


Break: Well, it hit 1:28 PM and I gotta go to my 2:00 – 5:00 PM class. It won't be 'til 5, but we'll see how long it lasts… >>> Okay, I'm back at 5:07 PM. It was a while, but class wasn't. Instead of bein' 180 minutes long, class was only 37 minutes long. However, I went to Walmart and then I had to get CD cases at Best Buy (to make my CD singles; I ran outta cases). Now, time for tha remaining 9!


30. "Flashing Lights"
I'm predictin' it's over tha Kanye West/Dwele beat… >>> Yup, and it's pretty lengthy for a jacked beat (3:58 on tha length). Let's see how you do on this… Pretty strong 1st verse as all that "prison" shit and all that you're rappin' about iz hood style. That was a crazy 1st verse and when tha original "Flashing Lights" hook comes on wit Dwele, instead of Dwele, I liked how you said that "money" thing and when you said "dawg;" that was a cool part. Tha 2nd verse was pretty interestin' about how you pose and shit. That's cool that you did that "I'm just tryna get my money, ba-by!" again. 3rd verse was nice to hear too but for this, I thought tha 1st verse was easily tha best. My Rating: 4.0


31. Violator Drop
Anotha drop… I'm expectin' tha same "Violator Drop" as tha previous 2 times it came on… >>> Up, it was slightly different (and sounded better than tha other ones). I liked that beat intro that was comin' on for tha No. 32 joint on here; HOPE Stevie Drumma produced it!!! My Rating: N/A


32. "The Wheels (Show Me)" Feat. TQ
Ooh, TQ on tha feature; bet'cha he does a great hook! And Bass Heavy did this beat so that's prolly just as good as I expected Drumma to do it! >>> Tha length iz great (4:39) and tha intro sounds like I've heard it before… Nice, slow intro and now, you're on tha 1st verse… Pretty nice 1st verse wit those great lyrics; yeah, this sounds like a Crescent City Radio song. I like that hook from TQ as it's different/cool. Tha 2nd verse seems to be SOOOOO much better than tha 1st verse wit all tha shit you be spittin'; CRAZY!! I like tha "Imus/promise" part (not sure how to spell that asshole's name, lol). 3rd verse was good also but that 2nd verse held this joint down! Likin' that catchy hook wit that beat! My Rating: 4.3


33. "Red Bandana"
What's this? I know a "Red Bandana" song from my big dawg JD Killa from tha "N.O.;" for some reason, I have a feelin' you rappin' ova tha same beat as he did (and I didn't think he jacked that beat at first). Low anticipation but this should turn out good! >>> Yup, it's that same beat (whateva it iz). And just like Killa did, you're just lettin' tha sample/beat go through first. Tha rhymes (of course) are raw, especially on a topic like tha title! You did yo thang on tha 1st verse (or however long it iz…). Wow, it was just one verse? Should've put "freestyle" in tha title as well. That's cool that you've been "rappin' since '04;" I've been since '03 (May 28th to be exact) but more serious in 2007 (March I wrote my first original song, "Who I Am"). Either way, looks like this iz my lowest rated song so far on this mixtape. I thought it was wayyy too long of a verse, without even knowin'; JD Killa's version was better. My Rating: 3.3 (tha rating was even lower due to I've heard someone rap ova tha same beat in tha past (JD Killa) and when it repetitively happens with others, it gets tiring; I bash on different people for CONSTANTLY rappin' ova Young Jeezy's "I Luv It" no matter what year it iz)


34. Victory Lap Scratch
Ooh, that "scratch" again! >>> That was just as good as tha otha one! My Rating: N/A


35. "Greatest Story Ever Told"
Crown Kingz Productions on tha beat… Title looks real familiar; let's see! >>> Long one (4:44); betta be good! Nice lil' hook and beat; likin' tha "I'm from" parts, especially since it repeats. Yeah, "I'm glad you're alive to spit these rhymes;" there's no need for you to be dead. Great 1st verse and your voice works real nice wit a track like this! Glad you put a catchy hook to this shit! Tha 2nd verse wasn't that bad… I agree wit you on tha 3rd verse: "fuck da law, hustle hard;" I feel they should legalize kush (as I say in my new joint, "Change Tha World"). I mean, it's like, there's so many money makers today. Why do haterz/snitches treat kush as a crime? "It's tha person's life, let them control tha way they survive!" Came straight from my song! My Rating: 4.1


36. Victory Lap Drop
LOL… Anotha one! >>> Anotha great one and I LOVED how her "ya heard me"s kept echoin' at tha end; great 6 seconds! My Rating: N/A


37. "Ten N.O. Commandments"
I have a feelin' this tha last actual song on here… Very interesting title and Mannie Fresh blessin' you wit anotha beat! >>> 2:33 on tha length; shit, it's gonna end b4 you know it! Definitely a nice beat and I hear tha "I'm from tha murda capital…" sample right before tha 1st verse. Dee-1 actually used that sample in his "Murder Capitol" joint from Jimmy The DJ (N.O. dude I'm real cool wit)'s "Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1" mixtape; that song was real good. Speakin' of Dee-1, you actually sound like him when you rap sometimes (especially on this joint)! Interestin' rhymes in tha 1st verse. For a sec, I didn't know you were counting tha "commandments" 'til I heard tha 8th one. Either way, it was real nice and creative tha way you spit it! My Rating: 4.0


38. Mannie Fresh Outro
How we finna end this? How long iz it gon be? I say :46 seconds… >>> CLOSE, 43 seconds long! That was a nice way he did tha outro. Yeah, "go and buy dis!" People be fake at my old college. It's like, I was tryna sell my CD singles and they was like "I ain't got no money." Meanwhile, they asses was at tha club err-Thursday night; that shit's money. Can't deal wit tha fake so that's why I support tha music business to tha fullest! My Rating: N/A


Overall: End Time: 5:43 PM. Well, it's over; I don't got any reviews left. However, for that Louisiana edition (as I mentioned earlier in tha review) of reviews comin' up in tha future, I'll have at least 130 to do (that's close to tha amount I have done in my life, lol)!! Keep doin' yo thang Show!! This was a REAL NICE mixtape that had those REAL TIGHT rhymes that DID NOT bore me (like most real lyrical cats be doin')! I actually though that "No Joking" joint was gonna be on here as well as easily, "I'mma Get Mine" (mainly 'cause Mannie Fresh bein' a big part of this mixtape). I guess this was older or somethin' 'cause I remember seein' a Youtube clip of you on Crescent City Radio when it was called "The Hip-Hop Hour [not "Spot"] with Alex McConduit." 'Cause if you look at it, there were 38 jointz on here (21 were songs). I thought there was a REAL HIGH percentage of me seein' one, or both, of those jointz on here but no, all material I neva/barely heard! Great shit once again Show!
