Review #1,603: Mista Cain "Cain"

Reviewed on 12.02.2016 (Review #1,603)




Tryna get these reviewz outta my way… As I get one done, I find, like, anotha one or two! But, I think I’m gettin’ there! Gotta get back to my old Louisiana CD reviewz ASAP! This 1st one for today’s Mista Cain Cain, released on Cain Muzik & Utopia Music Group; let’s see, here… Start Time: 7:06 AM | End Time: 7:39 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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

© 2016 CD Review (Review #1,603) reviewed on 12.02.2016 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “My Heart”
>>> Beat sounds nice, here, and you rappin’ on tha verse pretty nice ta let “it out.” After tha verse, it ends with a hook; title, title, title… My Rating: 4.1


02. “It’s Real”
>>> A good hook and beat; can’t complain… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and you layin’ da bidness down, when it comes ta livin’ a celebrity’s lifestyle in tha hood… And, tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ it on-n-poppin’, here; catchy shit… My Rating: 4.2


03. “Where Was You”
>>> Can’t catch these new producers’ beat tags… Beat sounds good, just like tha other ones… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s a singer? Not credited? Not bad… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it soundin’ good… And, tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice, too; what else can I say? My Rating: 3.7


04. “Affiliated”
>>> That same producer from tha previous track… Kickin’ it off wit tha hook and it sounds catchy on this beat, fa tha streetz… Tha hook ain’t bad, but I don’t fuck wit tha “so I surround myself with rich niggaz” shit; what about broke people? It’s like, you don’t wanna help anyone out? Fuck that! But yeah, decent at its finest with these verses… My Rating: 3.9


05. “Jealous”
>>> This sounds like tha best production outta all tha tracks, so far; nice lil’ Baton Rougeness at its finest! Tha hook straight; tha streetz have been supplied… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it sounds good ta hear on this beat… Tha 2nd verse sounds good, except how you ended it with, “When I wrote this verse, I had 30 grand on me;” why tha impossible? Not really impossible, but why tha cocky bullshit? My Rating: 4.0


06. “Set It Off”
>>> Almost thought it was auto-tune in tha beginning and I was ready to skip it! An okay hook; an okay beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s whateva… I’m not tha one to like rap about “money,” tho. I’ono, these rhymes ain’t nothin’ special ta me… Just sounds like err-body else tryna shine or show off, smh… My Rating: 3.4


½time: This ain’t too bad of a CD, tho nothin’ really standin’ out fa me… A 3.9-rated CD, so far…


07. “War Ready” feat. Dee Jackson
Not tha D. Jackson I know (producer from Baton Rouge)? Someone different? >>> Of course, right when a name iz taken by someone else, tha newer person tends to make things sound gayer, smh… Not really feelin’ tha voice of Dee Jackson on tha 1st verse, here! Sounds like annoying rap that be out now! And then, we got you, which you rap regular, at first, and then, speed it up? Not tha right mix fa me… My Rating: 2.7


08. “Whip” feat. John Dha Baptist & Spitta
>>> Beat sounds cool from our main producer on this CD… A simple hook but it goes over better than “money” and “baby mama” bullshit! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it soundin’ aight… Spitta on tha 2nd verse and he soundin’ nice on this, as always! Can’t complain about him holdin’ it down! Oh wait, y’all done fucked up wit tha ID! That was John Dha Baptist on tha 2nd verse (they almost sound tha same)! With that bein’ said, nice job… Hearin’ Spitta (yeah, this time, it’s Spitta) on tha 3rd verse and he soundin’ good! Pretty much, it’s tha same feedback I had for tha 2nd verse… My Rating: 4.2


09. “No Shootas” feat. Scotty Cain
I recognize this one but not with Scotty Cain; redone? >>> Still feelin’ tha Godfather-sampled beat! Good addition from Scotty, here. I feel like I can neva detect his voice, tho; it ain’t consistent to me… My Rating: 4.4


10. “Grimy”
You have an extra “M” in tha title… >>> Beat good, like tha usual Baton Rouge-soundin’ street anthems… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s soundin’ good; can’t complain… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s not bad… And, tha 2nd verse ain’t bad… It’s more of a quantity of tracks than quality, here; you always make music… My Rating: 4.0


11. “Lil’ Baby”
>>> Beat cool, as always; hook straight… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it iz what it iz… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and ain’t it nice that you got a chick? My Rating: 3.8


12. “Make The Newz” feat. T2
I had thought this was familiar, as it was featured on Big Jay’s Pyrex Radio Vol. 7: Sex, Drugs & Money, released in 2014. B-Real produced this one and it looks like it’s tha best one on here… My Current Rating: 4.6


Overall: Turned out to be an okay CD… Pretty much each track was nice, except for tha Dee Jackson collab… Most of what you did here was just quick tracks, which was nice for tha quantity of your collection of tracks… Let’s see what tha future gon bring fa tha 2K17!

Reviewed on 6.20.2010 (Review #548)




Although a short day for me, I got a few current reviewz ta do. Because my 22nd birthday iz tomorrow, I’m takin’ a lil’ week break from tha marathon and just doin’ current reviewz and catchin’ up. Right here, I got my boy Lil’ Issue wit his “Still Dumb (Young Dummy Vol. 2) (Hosted by DJ PK1)” mixtape; REALLY lookin’ forward!! This iz tha 4th Lil’ Issue CD I’ve reviewed! Start Time: 9:21 PM | End Time: 10:35 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): http://www.datpiff.com/Dj_Pk1_Lil_Issue_Still_Dumb.m125616.html


01. Intro
Time ta start dis thang off!! REALLY lookin’ forward ta EVERYTHING!!! >>> “In D. Jackson’s studio this time?” Good shit! VERY upliftin’ intro here wit tha beat, lol!! My Rating: N/A


02. “Believe It Or Not”
I gon DEFINITELY be interested in hearin’ what dis iz!! >>> Sounds like Q-Red “breathin’” sound effects in tha beginning; HOT shit!! Tha beat’s hot and tha hook sounds good wit you “givin’ your everythang” on tha track! You sound like you grew wit tha voice from tha previous CDs… Pretty good soundin’ and how you’re improvin’/comin’ up in tha 1st verse! Good shit fa err-body in tha BR streetz! Tha 2nd verse sounds like it has a good mainstream Rap feel to it… I like how tha ending sounds wit your gr8, motivated attitude! My Rating: 4.4


03. “Flexx” Feat. Q-Red
Not too crazy about this title so let’s see what happens… >>> Tha beat start must be Q-Red again; FEELIN’ tha HOTNESS!!! It sounds like fartin’ a lil’ bit, lol! Ooh, Q-Red’s on tha hook too!! Good job wit tha follow-up to “Whop”; much betta than what I expected!! Tha 1st verse sounds like tha Issue I luved when I 1st heard you!! Dat shit from 1:17 – 1:19’s REAL HOT in tha beat!!! WHOA!!!!! So far, this sounds like it’ll DEFINITELY make my Vol. 3 mixtape due out September 22!! If there’s a betta single for me on this CD, then it’ll be somethin’ else but there’s a good chance it’ll be dis! Good job wit tha 2nd verse too; str8 KILLIN’ tha track!!! Interestin’ echoin’ in tha end! My Rating: 4.9


04. “Let Me Roll”
Now, I’m feelin’ this title so let’s see what we got! >>> LOL, afta tha cold ending wit tha echoin’, it sounded like it was backed up a few seconds in tha beginning, lol. Tha beginning here sounds good; thumbs up ta D. Jackson on tha beat!! This DEFINITELY good; REAL GOOD!!! I REALLY like tha hook here and you’re REALLY holdin’ it down to tha fullest on this track!!! Tha long hook sounds good; dat voice of yours iz YOURS and it goes a long way!!! Tha 1st verse iz finally here afta a minute and it’s dat cool, good shit to tha fullest!! Gotta give respect ta you since you’re a month and five dayz older than me, lol. Tha 2nd verse sounds like some trouble’s goin’ on wit you. What’s up wit all tha court dates you be havin’? Ya gotta be ***ALERT***!! Good looks on tha contact info at tha end! My Rating: 4.7


05. “Circles”
You should’ve listed tha features on DatPiff. Anyway, let’s see here… >>> Scary intro but I’ma try and absorb it. “Can roll ta dis,” huh? We’ll see… Prolly could’ve put this in tha middle of tha mixtape since it has been pretty jammin’… I like tha “silly rabbit” shit in tha beginning; you sound good on this 1st verse. LOL @ tha hook wit tha odd-soundin’ (on 1st listen) singer wit tha “a chicken wit my head cut off” shit; interestin’… Tha 2nd verse must “taste good ta” tha ladies wit this “recipe;” good shit. At least this joint’s only 2:49 and nothin’ like five minutes! That I’ll give credit for! My Rating: 3.9


06. “Self Made” Feat. Lil’ Alex
LOL, a feature listed this time? Looks REALLY anticipatin’ fa tha ’10!! >>> LOL, transitioned real quick here! Tha intro sounds cool and tha beat’s pretty gutta! Speakin’ of gutta, here you are on tha 1st verse wit some gutta-ass shit, lol! You REALLY holdin’ it down fa tha gangstaz here!! Tha hook sounds pretty good; hot shit!! A to tha L to tha E to tha X iz on tha 2nd verse here and he “eatin’ tracks,” lol! “Dumb, duffy and all dat” sounded like my boy Quikkdraw from his collaboration on “Extravagant”. Really rough towards tha end; y’all REALLY gr8 on a collab!! Hearin’ tha hook for tha 2nd time and it sounds GR8 wit dat “smoke weed” part; good-ass shit from you, Issue!! Tha 3rd verse sounds good wit you on it, Issue!! Very consistent here; you just DOIN’ it BIG here!!! Ooh, all along it was E.P. on tha track; good job hirin’ him, Issue! LOL @ tha silence at tha end! My Rating: 4.6


07. “Dinner Plate” Feat. Kevin F
Good thing you listed tha feature; let’s hear how GR8 dis iz!! >>> Again, it sounds backed up from tha last joint since tha last joint had a cold ending and had silence without mixin’. Anyway, cool beat soundin’ here and tha hook’s pretty tight; gotta luv dat title!! Tha 1st verse sounds like you really focused wit who you fuck wit; good shit when I hear it from you! Shit yea, Lil’ Kevin a.k.a. Kevin F’s on tha 2nd verse and he sounds GR8; glad you ALWAYS wit your rappin’ family on your songs!! From Blak On Blak to Yes! I Am to Major Issue, y’all do it up!! Tha beat sounds like Mouse or Q-Red here but if it really was Q-Red, I would be able ta ID it easily… Tha 3rd verse iz you and you’ll “meet ‘em at their resident;” good shit! Tha rhymes sound good and catchy too once again… I knew it was gonna be “D. Jackson on tha track!” My Rating: 4.6


08. PK1 Radio
Shit, yea, lemme hear my boy! >>> Good shout outs; some of them don’t fit wit dis CD, lol? My Rating: N/A


09. “Neighborhood Gospel”
Not sure of what this title ‘pose ta tell me? >>> You sound anticipatin’ here in tha beginning since it sounds like you fulla dat shit! This iz catchy so far…; good hook. Tha 1st verse sounds good; I like tha laidback flow. Your “neighborhood” must luv dis and what you be doin’! Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ it real too… My Rating: 4.0


10. “My Swagg” Feat. Bun B
LOL, will I like it betta? Lemme rehear… >>> X-Fyle on tha track and again, tha Pop start in tha beat. Tha hook’s kinda on tha typical tip as what I would hear from everyone. Should’ve had a Q-Red production or somethin’ ta make it catchier! Tha 1st verse’s kinda typical too… Again, Bun B sounds good on tha 2nd verse; he actually sounds betta… Tha 3rd verse iz a touch betta than your 1st verse; I’ll keep my rating tha same. My Current Rating: 3.5


11. PK1 Radio
I’m wonderin’, what’s up wit dis yucky “Mr. Jones” beat comin’ outta nowhere? >>> Good thing it’s just a talk break… Okay, 45 seconds went by, anything goin’ on? I hope PK1 gives his numba so I can hit him up… I didn’t hear it now but maybe later? I’ll e-mail him… My Rating: N/A


½time: Sounds pretty HOT so far; you REALLY keepin’ it HOT like you’ve done in tha past! Tha average CD rating’s at 4.3 right now and tha production’s off tha chain!!! Keep tha catchiness up!!


12. “Headlights”
I think I heard this before… >>> This sounds familiar but I don’t see anything anywhere? I like dat hook wit tha “ol’ lady!” Sounds like some “feelin’s” in tha 1st verse comin’ out chu; good shit! Interestin’ shit about these “bitches” in tha 2nd verse. I’ve neva dealt wit some of dis shit so it’s good dat you rappin’ ‘bout it! My Rating: 4.2


13. “Rubber Band Pop” Feat. Kevin F
These titles are givin’ me déjà vu or somethin’… >>> Mod Productions on tha beat, huh? Actually, I praised him one day on tha phone for doin’ beats for you and he said, “I don’t even know him [you, Issue].” He said, “Some of my beats must float around or somethin’;” lol… So, this iz a “floated” beat dat’s pretty good fa dis. Tha hook sounds good; you REALLY holdin’ it down on all these hooks!! Tha 1st verse sounds good; motivated Issue to tha fullest! Tha 2nd verse sounds good; Lil’ Kevin F doin’ his thang fa your section! Tha 3rd verse from you sounds good as you continue ta do tha damn thang!! My Rating: 4.3


14. “Pimp II” Feat. Big Steve
A 2nd part, lol? >>> D. Jackson on this beat and it sounds interestin’; did dis beat float around too, lol? Tha hook’s pretty catchy; hearin’ all dat “I got a lotta hoes” from Big Steve’s catchy! I guess it iz real since you gave a shout out ta “D. Jackson” in tha beginning! Tha hook sounds betta; tha beat’s kickin’ good! Tha 1st verse iz you and you’re really anti-cops, lol! Guess what, Issue? … … I neva had detention, lol! I like how tha end of tha 1st verse sounds wit tha beat; dis iz tight right chea! Tha 2nd verse iz Big Steve and let’s see what he’s got… All these “hoes” but he didn’t send me tha song he was sendin’ me? Gotta keep it money ova bitches; it ain’t a secret! Therefore, I kinda might forget to comment on tha rest of it? It’s aight, it’s just a typical-soundin’ verse dat fits good on dis track. You luv tha 3rd verses and you sound good wit dis shit. Sounds like future-tense to me as it sounds like you’re at your “fuckin’-extreme” stage all of a sudden. It’ll be a while (I think) ‘til I see this day… My Rating: 4.4


15. “Hate On How I Cum” Feat. Big Eye
“Cum?” Must be anotha ladies song, lol? Or, you just bein’ creative wit tha spellin’? >>> Anotha D. Jackson joint! Tha start sounded like “Head 2 My Toes” which kinda threw my anticipation weird but yea, I guess this iz a “cummin’” anthem rather than a “coming over” anthem, lol! Tha hook sounds good wit this beat and tha 1st verse from you’s good; you holdin’ down tha tracks! Oh, you’re on tha 2nd verse now, lol? Feelin’ tha “LRG and Girbauds!” Glad you get ta see “Girbauds” all tha time! I only see people wit ‘em like a few times a year; you know how white it iz up where I’m at. Huh? Where’s Big Eye? I didn’t catch him anywhere… Are y’all voices tha same? You’re soundin’ consistent on tha 3rd verse… Oh, here he iz on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse; just a background appearance wit a ½ line, lol? My Rating: 4.3


16. “Jam” Feat. John The Baptist
Now, I’m thinkin’ this iz “jam” (jelly) for tha ladies vs. a “jam” (song); let’s see if I’m right. >>> Ooh, Q-Red on this beat; glad we’re back ta dis!! Okay, I knew I had ta be wrong; this iz “jammin’” accordin’ ta tha hook! Good job from JTB on tha hook and he’s on tha 1st verse here! Feelin’ his “cookin’” shit and him holdin’ tha verse down!! Tha hoods must REALLY luv him!! He a “loratabber,” lol!! You’re on tha 2nd verse and you’re havin’ fun “in dis bitch” accordin’ ta how you soundin’! Oh, you’re even a huge poppa, lol? “Poppin’ tab afta tab?” Issuerific, lol! My Rating: 4.4


17. “Ready”
Now, it’s just you… >>> LOL, a form of havin’ sex in tha beginning? Sounds like an R&B song fa a Q-Red beat? Good soundin’ and tha hook’s aight but if you’re here, Issue, you couldn’t just hop on it? You’re a “shy guy,” huh? You do all this “fuckin’” and you’re shy? You’re not a virgin… Tha 2nd verse sounds like you “givin’ a gurl your numba.” Interestin’… What age did you discover dat you made friends? I’m still on a mission and finally, I think it’s workin’ wit y’all in Louisiana! Tha 3rd verse has you “invitin’ her ova” too? You really are good at socializin’ and not “shy,” lol. March 3, 2010 marked tha 1st day I got someone ta come to my house (even though they didn’t come in). My Rating: 3.7


18. “Whop (Remix)” Feat. Q-Red
LOL, I didn’t know what ta expect when I heard tha first few seconds… You’re VERY late wit gettin’ dis ta me (final mix). Tha otha version made my radio show, my decade-end countdown and everything, lol! You ID’d it wrong as it’s tha “remix” here. Still sounds VERY HOT on tha beat and tha hook!! You sound dry on tha 1st verse compared to tha original version? Up tha flow like you did original; sounds like you’re just bored (e.g., “HELLO!!” turned into “hello…”)… Tha 2nd verse iz an updated Q-Red verse. Again, it sounds too boring. I almost feel like dis iz an original version and tha otha version iz a remix instead. All dat “throwin’ money” betta not be dat serious now, right, Q-Red? Save tha money for an interview fa me dat I’m ‘pose ta do fa you, Q-Red! Again, this could’ve sounded betta… My Rating: 4.5


19. “Smack-Down” Feat. John The Baptist, Lil’ DJ The RB & Beezy Bird
I guess when it was uploaded to DatPiff, this and #20 are flipped on tha tracklisting but are correct on tha track numbers… Anyway, let’s hear what dis iz like. >>> Oh, betta put “Feat. Beezy Bird” on tha ID too ‘cause there’s a particular “bow, bow” in tha beat! It has ta be DJ B-Real on tha beat if dat’s tha case ‘cause he’s tha one dat started samplin’ his voice… Anyway, catchy hook and tha 1st verse sounds good wit you on tha 1st verse! A strong-statued Issue, lol! You just REALLY stayin’ strong on tha rhymes and consistency!! Dat hook’s just RAW!! Good thing fa tha features!! Speakin’ of which, here’s tha 2nd verse and it sounds like some sex’s goin’ on wit tha mixin’ of hard rhymes? Good verse; gotta LUV hearin’ newbies and features, ESPECIALLY for tha 1st or 2nd time!! Tha 3rd verse iz more gutta here; I like tha “discount” shit! My Rating: 4.6


20. PK1 Radio 3
Lemme hear it!! >>> Sounded like a part of tha title from tha last joint was cut off a lil’ bit… DEFINITELY “his pleasure” ta mix dis; thanx fa tha thedjpk1@gmail.com e-mail! I’m likin’ how he sounds on dis, soundin’ good DJin’ and mixin’! My Rating: N/A


21. “Don’t Wanna Die Broke”
A bonus (1 of 2); let’s hear it! I like tha title! >>> Sounds like a single dat sounds good; very mainstream soundin’ dat’s good here! LOL @ tha catchy rhymes in tha 1st verse, doin’ ya thang! Tha 1st verse’s continuin’ ta do tha damn thang wit your “money levels” and consistent life. Tha 2nd verse’s good too; I prolly would say tha same for tha 2nd verse as I did for tha 1st. Tha 3rd verse’s consistent too. Once again, you’re focused. My Rating: 4.1


22. “Put Yo Blinker On”
LOL, you LUV drivin’, huh? Let’s see wit newbie Deezle on tha beat for this 2nd bonus song!! >>> Tha beat start sounds like it could be anticipatin’. Thumbs up fa bein’ interested in all my talents, Issue! I KNOW you luved dat status comment yesterday, lol! Anyway, tha 1st verse sounds good wit tha rappin’ for “tha club;” lookin’ forward to tha hook for some reason!! “Changin’ lanes in tha club?” It’s a driveway in there? I neva really been to a club in tha longest time (January 2004; last visited November 2008) (or neva been to an “Urban” club) so I wouldn’t know how ta picture it. But, it’s a catchy hook… Tha 2nd verse’s pretty good too; good job wit dis shit, Issue! I think it could be a lil’ catchier so let’s see what tha 3rd verse sounds like… Sounds like dat otha song wit tha “girl in tha hallway.” Not bad of a verse… I guess it fits wit tha otha ones. My Rating: 4.3


Overall: Anotha VERY GOOD, consistent mixtape from you, ya dig!! Just DOIN’ THA DAMN THANG on buku tracks, yet, you presented 22 jointz (18 were songs) ta me outta nowhere!! Keep up tha GR8 work!! You’re a VERY consistent rapper!!!

Review #292: Lil' Alex & Lil' Issue "6 Dayz No Sleep (The Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 8.18.2009 (Review #292)


FrankieThaLuckyDog in tha buildin' here. Continuin' these reviewz from tha Camp Life representative (who gave me buku CDs)! This next one iz for Lil' Alex & Lil' Issue, who I don't know about, and their "6 Dayz No Sleep (The Mixtape)" mixtape containin' 15 jointz. Let's see how they do wit my review for Lil' Alex & Lil' Issue "6 Dayz No Sleep (The Mixtape)"! I like that title, and hopefully, one day in tha future, I stay up for a complete 24 hours! Still tryna work on that! Start Time: 7:18 PM | End Time: 8:32 PM


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

01. Intro
Glad there's a lotta mysterious shit wit these CDs I reviewin'. I'm ALWAYS up for tha new, but don't know tha exact diagnosis of how good each one iz 'til I hear 'em! As long as there's no Auto-Tune or dances, and STR8 UP Louisiana, I'm good! >>> Soundin' like y'all cool dudes. If that's tha beat intro to tha song comin' up, I'm DEFINITELY lookin' forward!! My Rating: N/A


02. "Serve Ya"
Yea, "serve me" wit sum HOT Baton Rouge shit, ya dig!! >>> Yea, "dumb shit!" I really like how it said, "bruh," in tha beginning! Yea, DEFINITELY sum good shit in tha hook!! UNDISCOVERED music here!! LUV tha drug-type hook on this shit! DEFINITELY "hotta than a drya" wit this shit! That must be Lil' Issue on tha 1st verse, doin' tha damn thang!! GREAT job on tha 1st verse right there!! Dat must be Lil' Alex on tha 2nd verse... Lil' Issue sounded betta on tha voice/hook, but this iz soundin' like a REAL nice 2nd verse too! Glad it's a combination of 2 rappers on this mixtape, ya dig!! I think it skipped a lil' towards tha end... Shit, I looked at tha CD, and it was REAL clean; wtf?! EDIT: Oh, there's a fingaprint on it; shit! My Rating: 4.7


03. "Feelin' Me"
For a 4.7/5.0 rating on tha 1st song I heard from y'all, I must be REALLY "feelin' y'all wit this shit right now; don't stop!! >>> Got sum family on tha production here (Mod Productions), so that's a plus! Tha last song was on tha drug tip, and now, this iz on tha fresh tip!! Yea, who can't like somethin' when y'all say, "I'm tha shit!?" GREAT hook, and Alex here on tha 1st verse, doin' a nice job expressin' his freshness witout havin' a disappointin' moment! Nice job on dat 1st verse right there; keep this shit comin'!! Really hope dat boy Issue iz on tha 2nd verse!! Yea, dat boy Issue on tha 2nd verse, doin' a NICE job on this shit!! "Thuggin' in yo polo;" glad you rockin' a polo! Hope we become cool real soon, ya dig (this review should do it)!! Great job on tha 2nd verse, and anotha GREAT song from tha 2 of y'all! My Rating: 4.5


04. "Go 2 War" Feat. Killa
Looks like we gon "go" hard now wit this joint right here! Lookin' forward!! >>> Not tha best start here; would've hired someone betta on tha hook and shouldn't really be singin'. Tha 1st verse here from Lil' Alex, spittin' dat street shit here! Tha whole verse was on that street level; good job. Let's see how Issue does on tha 2nd verse... Yea, THEY "could get their issue," ya dig! More street shit comin' here, "leavin' them in chalklines!" Good job right there, Issue! There's 1:12 left, and it's all talkin' on tha outro? Kinda long? I like tha talkin' though. My Rating: 3.8


05. "G-Mix" Feat. Lil' John
Who iz this Lil' John dude? He a 225 representa? >>> Sounds like heartbeats in tha beginning a lil' wit tha poundin'! I believe I know this beat (I think). It an exclusive Baton Rouge beat that A-Mar & Dyl used for "Tha Dumb Way" on their "Raggz 2 Riches" CD (that's what it sounds like). I believe dat boy Alex on tha 1st verse, so gangsta on this shit! REAL nice 1st verse there! I like tha "pussy-ass nigga" part in tha hook; it makes it sound NICE and raw/gangsta! Here we are wit tha 2nd verse... Can't tell who exactly it iz; Lil' John or Alex? Was Lil' Ganggsta shouted out on tha 2nd verse, or did y'all say, "I'll get a lil' gangsta?" Either way, good job on tha 2nd verse! Let's see tha 3rd verse... Issue! "Body decompossin'" (sp?), so this iz DEFINITELY on dat hood shit!! Nice job right there, Issue! ALWAYS makin' tha songs REAL NICE! I like that endin' wit all tha "ya heard me"s! Was that Lil' John at tha endin'? My bad for my confusion... My Rating: 4.3


06. "Layed Back"
Looks like (hopefully) a GR8 smokin' song! For only 3:00 flat, it shouldn't be slow! >>> Really like tha way y'all sound in tha intro. Decent beat here, and pretty good hook too. Alex doin' a nice job wit his attitude on tha 1st verse here. Yea, "purple weed." Good job on that 1st verse right there. Now, Issue has ta add that spice ta spice thangz up here!! LOL @ tha "all I got iz my pride and my nut...sack" part; str8 gangsta right here!! "On tha corna wit marijuana ta make profit," so you KNOW you doin' ya thang, Issue. "Anti-social" also? I have Autism, and I TRY ta break any social barriers that block my socializin'; hope you social wit me good, ya dig! Nice job on that 2nd verse; str8 gutta shit! My Rating: 4.0


07. "Calculator" Feat. Big Eye
You KNOW I luv my math... And wit it bein' tha 225, this HAS ta be a drug song; tell me it iz!! >>> Startin' off wit admittin' that it a Mod Productions production here. Yea, catchy hook wit all tha "jackin'." Ooh, tha 2nd 1/2 of tha hook has that Baton Rouge repetitiveness of repeatin' tha title 8x; that's REALLY watz good wit tha hook!! Tha 1st verse here from dat boy Issue here, doin' a nice job here wit that calculated shit! Here's tha 2nd verse, and it sounds like Lil' Issue a lil'. Howeva, it Big Eye comin' through NICE wit that gangsta/drug-type shit! Gr8 hustla right there that you featured on this song! Alex doin' tha last verse this time, comin' through FULLA drug-craved! You want "EVERY gram" and all dat good shit! All 3 verses were REAL nice!! Great job on tha collab here!! My Rating: 4.5


½time: Great start to this mixtape here!! All tha jointz be on point, and I ain't got a problem wit any of 'em! REALLY liked tha 1st song, and tha topics that be on this shit! Glad y'all ALWAYS in tha hood 'cause it equals HOT hood shit when it's delivered on a mixtape! Average CD rating iz currently at a NICE 4.3!!


08. "Aggravated Stuntin'"
Looks like a spelling error? *Checks* Yea, it's not "aggrevated," it's "aggravated," wit an "a" and not an "e". Anyway, if tha mood of this song iz in that "aggravated" stage, this song should be REAL TIGHT, ESPECIALLY for "stuntin'!" >>> LOL, anotha Mod Productions beat here, only soundin' REAL nice this time for a start! Here's tha hook, and y'all don't want tha "aggravated stuntin';" glad y'all got an attitude on this track! Yea, "what tha fuck iz they doin' not gettin' money?" Here's tha 1st verse from Alex, doin' a NICE job on this shit!! Gotta luv "10:00 at night" 'cause when it's 10 PM, it's 9 PM in Louisiana where I'm at, I get SO lazy (usually), and make buku phone calls. Howeva, it has been kinda quiet, sadly, so I been continuously on my grind these dayz. Soundin' REAL NICE from Issue on tha 2nd verse here!! Tha "trousers" and "eatin' like a vulture" part was GREAT! Doin' tha damn thang on this shit right here! Damn, I like typed durin' tha whole song; I guess that means it was NICE and important!! My Rating: 4.4


09. "I Ain't Trippin'"
Anotha error, no less a lil' more embarrassin'... I don't like how a lotta peeps be usin' tha letter "e" in "in'/ing" words. It's sad how there's an undaground label in BR (no offense 'cause I'm cool wit them) that has an "en" instead of an "in'"; that's bad for a label name! Anyway, "I ain't trippin'" 'cause this should be anotha hood banga!! >>> Slow start, somewhat below REAL GOOD for me. Pretty good hook though at least. Here's tha 1st verse from Issue, and I know you wanna avoid "those problems escalatin'!" Not bad 1st verse right there. Let's see Alex on tha 2nd verse... I don't go for tha depressin' "I hurtin'" type vibes when it comes ta certain songs and shit. I don't like feelin' depressed and sorry durin' mixtapes. I liked tha 1st verse betta; an okay song. My Rating: 3.4


10. "Bad Yella" Feat. K.G.
Looks like a cool/different hood title here; lookin' forward! >>> I thought it was gonna say "Mod Productions on tha beat" again when I heard tha beat intro, lol. It's a Rich Boy sample here, describin' a "bad yella bitch" here. Tha 1st verse here, and it Issue doin' a nice job here "lickin' it, stampin' it" when it comes ta what he wants. Pretty good 1st verse. Sounds like Alex 'bout ta go on tha 2nd verse... Not a plus before tha verse wit tha "excuse my language" part; no rules here! Pretty good verse, as I liked tha flow. Here comes that dude K.G. on tha 3rd verse... He real horny on this verse, so he should be gettin' his favor quickly; nice job on tha verse. My Rating: 3.8


11. "Move Ya Body" Feat. Lady C
A female bein' introduced to this mixtape... Hope tha song sounds good for 4:12! >>> LOL! This a Mod Productions beat this time! Pretty good beat again, and tha lady on her Rap-type shit here on tha hook, so I'm glad she brought a club flava here! Alex on tha 1st verse here, "shinin' up his golds, and puttin' a bandanna on;" that's watz good! Nice job on tha 1st verse; thumbs up to tha swag! Lady C ain't just on tha hook, but she on tha 2nd verse! Jiggalatin' girl as she "threw 2 back;" thumbs up! DEFINITELY felt her verse right there! I'm real glad she added jiggalatin' attributes to it!! How will Issue compete wit her on tha 3rd verse? He got smelly money (lol) as he "wipes his ass wit a couple grand;" lol, thumbs up! If you got "a couple grand," you should be easily able ta buy a $50 or (recommended) $75 commercial from me ta promote your mixtape(s)! Nice job on tha 3rd verse! Very cold beat outro as it was only 4 seconds long. My Rating: 4.3


12. "Pour Me Up" Feat. Q
Went from a "lady" wit an initial to anotha initial, lol. REAL nice club title here, so this should be on tha last joint's level!! >>> LMAO! Anotha Mod Productions beat! I laugh 'cause it comes on tha intro at like :01 in, usually witout me expectin'. Tha hook just as good as tha last one here, so that's an equal plus! Yea, "get loaded, stay focused!" Such FUCKIN' GREAT flow on tha 1st verse right here from Issue!! I like tha random conversation around tha 4th line! REAL NICE 1st verse, and tha 2nd verse here from dat boy Q! Yea, even HE added jiggalatin' to his verse wit tha "pill poppaz" part! Back 2 back featured jiggalation! I think tha verses only 12 bars, but it all good. I believe Alex here on tha 3rd verse, doin' a nice job wit tha club lyrics. Double purple wit tha "purple weed & purple drank" here; glad you feelin' good! I think I like tha last song betta, but this gets tha same rating as tha last song. Nice cold ending this time! My Rating: 4.3


13. "Floatin'" Feat. Big Steve
Looks REAL consistent wit tha club-type titles... Not 100% sure on tha actual definition/topic here, so I gon have ta listen to it! >>> LMFAO!! Mod Productions on THIS beat too! A lil' slower in tha beginning, but yea, REAL NICE weed-smokin' hook right here! Looks like tha beat's pace = tha weed smokin's after-effect pace. Tha 1st verse here from Alex, and it's soundin' good. Good job feelin' good at all times! I believe Alex iz on tha 2nd verse here, soundin' MUCH betta than tha 1st verse! Nice, fast rappin', and great rhymes too! Let's see how my dawg Issue gon sound on tha 3rd verse on this GREAT song... Yea, "you fucked up" too! "Smokin' on tha bleezy" (luv how y'all say "blunt" "bleezy"); that's watz good! Nice job endin' tha verse wit "you know I be...;" thumbs up to this WHOLE song, ESPECIALLY tha hook! My Rating: 4.6


14. "On Wax" Feat. Kevin F
Looks like anotha different hood title here. Could be anotha surprise, so let's see... >>> I KNEW IT!! I called it in my head!! "Mod Productions on tha beat"... ONCE AGAIN! Y'all must have a good relationship or somethin'; nice beat/talkin' intro. That Kevin F has a NICE voice, and doin' a GR8 job on tha hook; anotha NICE surprise! "Run it [this track] like an athlete," so you KNOW Alex doin' a REAL, REAL nice job wit tha rappin' here on tha 1st verse!!! I like tha "I'm a dog wit this Rap--spelled backwards: 'God'" part; gr8 shit!! Let's see tha 2nd verse here... Soundin' like Alex again? Neva mind, I think it Kevin, and he doin' tha damn thang!! Great job wit tha rappin', and you ARE "on tha ma'fuckin' grind!" Here comes tha big dawg, who ALWAYS saves tha best for last: Lil' Issue, on tha 3rd verse! Yea, your "words go ta war," so you KNOW your rhymes fight othas ta get to tha top! I like how you said, "dawg," in your verse; doin' tha damn thang! Err-body in BR "in luv wit tha studio!" Tha endin' was REAL GREAT: "Tha day you'll kill me will be NEVA, ya heard me?!" My Rating: 4.5


15. "Regular"
Time to end this mixtape... But, Lil' Issue has a mixtape up next that I finna review afta this one, so you KNOW Issue'll be here!! >>> No ID on tha featured singer this time, yet, it looks like it gon be a sad endin'... OR NOT! That beat in tha beginning was a slow piano, but tha beat gettin' grimy!! I KNEW by her lyrics that they weren't sad!! Sounds like tha synth in tha background samples tha "dunn-dunn-dunn-dunn" Bounce sound effect; feelin' it a WHOLE LOT!! Tha 1st verse here from Alex, flowin' REAL NICE on this beat! He just said what I just said: "flow sick;" agreed! Nice job on this shit right here, and I believe you're on tha 2nd verse too! Feelin' that 2nd verse, as it's that motivational type shit! Tha 3rd verse here from Issue (I think) "breakin' trees down;" MEGA thumbs up!! You did ya thang on tha 1st 1/2 of tha 3rd verse, and now, Alex on tha 2nd 1/2, doin' a REAL NICE job!! Only "16 years old?" You really that young, Alex? That's REALLY watz good if that true for this Rap shit!! Alex TORE THIS JOINT UP!!! My Rating: 4.6


Overall: GREAT JOB ON THIS MIXTAPE!! Y'all boyz REALLY did tha damn thang, especially my boy Issue!! Keep doin' ya thang, and I hope y'all really like dis review 'cause it HARD work right here, my boy!
