Got my 4th review for today up now: my boy Zippa Castro “Everybody Hates Zip”! I’m kinda like, “Don’t say dat!” Then again, haters = motivation? Start Time: 11:57 PM | End Time: 1:17 AM
Quick Note: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!! I only please myself wit my ratings!! I don’t care how lyrical you are! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings (if a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much REALLY LOVE it as it’s considered “mindblowin’” when I hear it) so 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.

01. “Intro”
What you got this time, Zip? >>> Interestin’ first few seconds in tha beginning and now, I hear tha beat… Sounds pretty nice here wit you holdin’ it down too; good shit! You’re nice and consistent here on tha “intro,” ya dig? I like how you say tha album title towards tha end; catchy shit, lol! My Rating: 4.2
02. “Pass Me A Drink” Feat. Sam I Am & Lil’ Cali
What a GR8 2nd song already, lol!! You doin’ it B.I.G.!! Really lookin’ forward ta hearin’ dis!! >>> “Roy Slim on tha beat”? Iz dat what I heard? Tha hook’s not bad; thought it would be more energetic but tha beat’s cool here! LOL, Sam I Am’s already on tha 1st verse here; I’ll put him above Cali in tha ID since he’s first. Soundin’ pretty good on this beat wit his crazy-ass!!
I’m hearin’ tha hook for tha 2nd time and it’s soundin’ NICE and REAL catchy wit this “bape/cape/ape” shit, lol!! Cali’s on tha 2nd verse and he’s real catchy on this shit!! Towards tha 2nd ½ of his verse, it almost sounded familiar. However, it was cleared up dat he said your name towards tha end of tha verse so you know y’all keep it real to tha fullest! You’re on tha 3rd verse here and it’s soundin’ pretty good; you have a GR8 voice ta hold it down fa a white boy when it comes ta tha Boot’s undaground! LOL, tha last second in tha beat sounded like it got cut off or somethin’, lol? My Rating: 4.503. “Fly Like A Bird”
Kinda like my boy Beezy “Bird,” lol! >>> Tha beat sounds cool here for you… Nice job on tha 1st verse and tha hook’s you on your motivated “mission;” thumbs up… LOL @ tha 2nd verse wit all tha “dead birds;” very interestin’, “bird” style, lol!! “Duct-tape every hole that you breathe through;” wow!! Pretty gutta right there, lol!! My Rating: 4.3
04. “I Hustle” Feat. Young Hustle
Ooh @ tha feature here! >>> Kinda decent on tha beat start… LOL, I was just talkin’ to my boy on tha phone and he mentioned Young Hustle’s name and I was like, “Weren’t you ‘pose ta give me his MySpace [if he even has one] link from two-and-a-half years ago,” lol? Anyway, sounded like Hustle in tha 1st verse and it was just okay for me… Tha hook’s straight too; sounds catchy wit tha title. This beat’s aight fa me; tha previous ones were betta though… You’re on tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ a lil’ betta here; you holdin’ it down… Regardless of what comes outta Young Hustle, in any event, I always anticipate him from tha A-Mar “My Gutta Wayz” and “Raggz 2 Riches” dayz! My Rating: 3.8
05. “Fresh (Flow)”
What you got here? >>> Was gonna say, “familiar beat?” Then again, I rememba this; kinda “bleh” for tha original version so at least you rappin’ on it ta make it less “bleh!” Good rappin’; catchy rhymes… My Rating: 3.9
06. Fall Off In The Party (Skit)
Ooh, a skit (just as long as tha last song, lol)? Good; lemme hear… >>> Sounds like you’re at tha club or somethin’ in tha background? Oh, I think you said you’re “at someone’s crib;” I see… Nice lil’ skit here, Zip! My Rating: N/A
07. “Who Got It” Feat. Dirty Jesus
Interestin’ ID here; lookin’ forward… >>> Wow, just came in within tha first second and it’s TIGHT in tha beginning wit tha “who like ta smoke a lot” shit in tha beginning!! Nice shit from Dirty Jesus, doin’ tha damn thang on tha hook for you!! You’re on tha 1st verse here and it’s soundin’ pretty good on this beat; nice lil’ “smokin’”-type lyrics! LOL, Dirty Jesus was not on tha hook? Or, was that just a made-hook? Sounds more like him on tha 2nd verse here and it sounds like someone you fuck wit pretty tough… Good fa what it iz here… My Rating: 4.4
08. “Larry Flynt Hustler” Feat. One-i & Young Bleed
Oh yea, tha single, which I premiered on my radio show already at least four months ago; damn, time flies!! Lemme review this, finally… >>> Okay, I rememba tha pretty good beat intro wit tha siren; good shit! One-i’s first so I gon flip him in tha ID… He doin’ a nice job fa you here, ya dig? I rememba when I first heard tha hook, I was like, “No!! A dancin’ song!!” But, this iz acceptable so you get a pass, ya heard me? It’s pretty catchy, especially tha “roll” shit! Bleed’s on tha 2nd verse and it sounds cool ta have him on a song like dis; he’s real consistent wit it! You’re on tha 3rd verse and tha flow’s pretty catchy wit tha rhymes here! My Current Rating: 4.4
09. “Winding Road”
What’ll this be like? >>> Kinda sad-soundin’ start… Oh, wow, tha catchiness really picked up in tha hook!! I really like how you handle tha beat here on tha hook wit your real shit!! Nice job wit comin’ through for tha 1st verse wit your good shit here… More catchy shit comin’ from you on tha 2nd verse here… Nice job doin’ ya thang on this joint! My Rating: 4.1
10. “I Feel Fine” Feat. Young Hustle
Yea @ anotha Young Hustle feature!! >>> This beat’s soundin’ more on tha energetic side so maybe, he’ll have a plus; extra-plus!! Shit, yea, I jynxed it!! Soundin’ REAL NICE on tha 1st verse here!! Good-ass shit from dat boy Hustle on tha 1st verse; REAL GLAD ta hear him from time-ta-time!! You’re on tha hook here and it’s cool; catchy shit here! LOL, thought it was Hustle on tha 2nd verse for a second but it’s you; good, catchy rhymes here wit a GR8 flow! My Rating: 4.3
½time: Sounds like a pretty good CD here; LOTS of consistent shit and you’re just REAL GR8 when it comes ta makin’ catchy music!! Glad you have REAL GR8 features here and it’s REAL NICE to where tha average CD rating’s at 4.2 right now!!
11. “Assholes” Feat. Deezy
I ROFL @ when I see tha word “asshole” in a title and hear it in a song so this iz DEFINITELY anticipatin’!! >>> Ooh, “Deezy did tha beat” and he’s even on tha 1st verse here! Nice shit comin’ from you; you have luck when you plan tha featured artists bein’ on tha 1st verse!
Ooh, he’s on tha hook here and I’m really likin’ dis shit; good shit in tha hook, especially tha “assholes” shit when it comes ta grindin’ so hard, lol! Here you are in tha 2nd verse and ugh @ hearin’ dat word, “Winter!” 
It’s 55 degrees right now; like, WTF? It’s still Summer and it’s like, what happened to tha 90-106 degree weather last month in NY? It’s stupid PA so you know it’s tha mountains… I like tha “cartoon” line and all tha shit afta dat’s REAL catchy wit how you rhyme err-thang; good shit, Zip!! Deezy’s on tha 3rd verse here? Iz this his song featurin’ you? It’s all good though; he doin’ tha damn thang! You’re on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse and it sounds like you’re keepin’ it goin’ here too! My Rating: 4.512. “That Kush” Feat. SlugOne & Perv
Have I heard SlugOne before? I keep thinkin’ Slugga that was affiliated wit Da Gremlins… Long length here so let’s see how good dis iz wit tha anticipatin’ title!! >>> Cool beat and an addictive Wayne sample here on tha hook!! I like tha person dat’s sayin’ “kush… kush” in tha background on tha hook!
Tha 1st verse’s pretty good; interestin’ flow here wit a pretty good voice ta help you out. Iz this a J.R. Rotem beat (‘cause I heard tha certain siren sound come outta nowhere)? Doesn’t sound like somethin’ I’ve heard before… Pretty good shit here and let’s see what happens wit tha remainin’ verses… Wow @ tha start to tha 2nd verse; GR8 voice on dis shit!! Sounds pretty gutta like Sam I Am, only slower on tha flow! DEFINITELY liked tha 2nd verse!! Now, you must be left, Zip? Let’s see your verse on tha 3rd one… Definitely likin’ tha “kush”-related topics and shit you spittin’ here, my boy! “Let’s get fulla dat sticky;” GR8 way ta end tha verse!! My Rating: 4.513. “I Know” Feat. ChaYsuh & Grind
I was just thinkin’ ‘bout ChaYsuh on (I think Deezy’s collab) one of tha previous songs; surprised he appeared outta nowhere wit Grind!! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’!! >>> Grind did this beat and it’s soundin’ good; thumbs up! Nice job wit ChaY on tha intro and he’s doin’ a nice job on tha hook here too; personal/real shit! Tha length’s 5:40; pretty long but I don’t mind it ‘cause it ain’t no jacked beat or nothin’! Here’s tha 1st verse from ChaYsuh; dat real-ass shit! Was gonna say, “Good from a progressed perspective,” but we have tha exact same birthday, lol, so there’s no age difference… Nice job wit tha consistent content for tha Boot! Now, we got tha 2nd verse from Grind and it’s soundin’ GR8 wit tha way it’s delivered; good, personal shit from him too!! I like tha spelling and then, tha random singin’; nice tri-combo (includin’ tha rappin’) blend! It’s always you saved for last and here you are again on tha 3rd verse… Pretty good shit here; feelin’ how it’s shit seen on a daily-basis. Tha last minute iz for an outro and because it’s ChaYsuh, it’s DEFINITELY acceptable and NOT boring ta hear!! LOL, why did a part of tha beat (like tha beginning) play for a second at tha end and then, cut off? My Rating: 4.4
14. “SGT: Slaughter Raps” Feat. Young Hustle & Deezy
You have it as #15 on tha DatPiff tracklisting; I know sometimes it fails to put it in tha right position at times (which annoys tha shit outta me). Anyway, looks tight so you know I gon anticipate dis!! >>> LOL, could’ve sworn this beat was on someone else’s CD or somethin’…; I might’ve even aired it on my radio show? Not sure where it came from or if it’s jacked but tha 1st verse’s soundin’ good here wit tha rhymes! I like tha random “Marijuana” part; good shit! You’re on tha 2nd verse here and it’s soundin’ good; clearin’ up tha real and tha fake! Tha 3rd verse iz soundin’ good; mo hot, consistent shit here!! My Rating: 4.2
15. “All The Way” Feat. Cas & Chico
This collab kinda anticipates me so you know I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’!! >>> Yea, DEFINITE plus on tha beat this time and tha hook’s REALLY HOT to tha bone!! Consistent-ass shit here in tha 1st verse from Chico; dat white boy-type shit dat’s just TOO HOT!! LOL, didn’t realize this was 5:12; that’s what’s up!! Startin’ ta sound a lil’ like Lil’ Witness on tha 1st verse too; good job here!! Cas’s on tha 2nd verse here and usually, I flip tha ID. But, because they’re usually a team, I’ll just leave it tha way it iz. Good shit here on this beat; thumbs up fa tha production helpin’ tha rappin’! Here you are on tha last verse again, lol! Spittin’ dat “Louisiana” shit to tha fullest!! VERY GOOD rhymin’ here, Zip!! “½ ‘em like fractions;” dumb shit!!
Real quick-soundin’ fade-out ta where it left 10 seconds of silence… My Rating: 4.516. “Fed Up”
Anotha flipped error on tha DatPiff tracklisting as it’s labeled as #17 but iz #16. Anyway, thought I saw someone wit this title just yesterday; let’s see how you come wit it… >>> Anticipatin’ start in tha beat and it sounds pretty good wit you rappin’ in tha beginning here! Oh, it’s tha hook and it sounds catchy; good shit! Here’s tha 1st verse and you “should’ve been born wit feathers,” lol; true shit! I like your street content as well as mixin’ it wit your personal life too! Tha 2nd verse sounds like it’s pretty good also; nice job wit addin’ more and more to tha track! My Rating: 4.2
17. “I Get Stoned” Feat. Young Hustle
Looks like a moment I would be waiting for or somethin’, lol!! What’ll this be like? >>> Oh, shit!! “I Love College” beat and Tha Cooch iz on my background on my laptop right now!!
She liked this song so it’s quite ironic dat it’s here!! LOL, kinda long intro but here you are on tha 1st verse! LOL, you sounded just like Asher here on tha 1st verse at first, lol! Pretty good; you doin’ it big!! Wow, tha hook’s pretty catchy as fuck (you already know)!! I like tha “bong” shit, lol!! Hustle’s on tha 2nd verse and this iz a plus here from him; catchy rhymin’… My Rating: 4.318. “Rock N Roll” Feat. One-i
Ooh, a One-i collaboration right chea again! Glad ta hear him again so you know this’ll be mo hot shit!! >>> LOL, louder start here and it sounds pretty nice on tha beat! You’re on tha 1st verse and I almost thought you were singin’ as if it was a Rock song fa a second, lol! Nice lil’ job here wit your catchy shit you be spittin’… Tha hook’s cool; more catchy shit from you! LOL, here comes One-i on tha 2nd verse and he has a GR8 flow fa dis shit; he fits PERFECT on a beat like dis!! Cool-ass shit from One-i, helpin’ you out once again!! My Rating: 4.3
19. “Coolin’ In Ya City”
I see dat word “coolin’” in a title and I instantly think of a jacked beat for some reason… >>> Don’t think I know this one; not bad start… I like how you start it off wit tha “coolin’ in ya city” and tha “heater” shit; interestin’ hook. Tha 1st verse sounds like a drug scene for a come-up; interestin’… Tha 2nd verse has a lotta “-ound” shit when it comes to tha rhymes; glad you keepin’ tha flow and rhymes really catchy, especially wit tha content! For some reason, when it’s just you on tha track, I don’t picture tha tracks bein’ 4:10+ on tha length; I guess ‘cause usually, your songs are shorter… Wit that bein’ said, a 3rd verse iz here and it sounds like some more in-depth shit about tha drugs goin’ on “in tha city;” interestin’ shit fa me ta hear! My Rating: 4.2
20. “Hangin’ Out Tha Window”
A funny title here; I know I gon like dis! >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ beat start here! Afta 26 seconds, here’s tha hook and it’s pretty catchy; sounds nice, funny and just, you! You feelin’ good on tha 1st verse here; ALWAYS a Castro life wit Zippa, lol! I like how tha verse ended wit, “I’m actin’ like an asshole,” lol! Sounds like a lotta catchy end-lines on tha 2nd verse here; good shit! Glad you ALWAYS rock “tha dumb way!” My Rating: 4.1
21. “Over” Feat. Drake
BOOOOO @ tha feature and end!!!
What kinda ending iz this? >>> Ugh… Why I gotta deal wit dis? WTF? He’s even on tha 1st verse? Why? Finally, at 1:57, here you are on tha 2nd verse… Tha catchy rhymes are comin’ from you but I have to heavily take off for not only tha hook but a used verse too… I’m likin’ how you keepin’ it consistent, though! My Rating: 3.3Overall: You had a SHITLOAD of consistentness here!! I like how tha cover has a lil’ color effect in it; good shit! You have a good ear for beats to make it feel at home for tha Boot and you have a GR8 voice that stands out on this Rap shit! You, A-Mar, Dyl, Cas, Chico, Lil’ Pado, Young Hustle, One-i and all tha up-n-comin’ white boys from tha Boot are ALWAYS tha shit and y’all keep doin’ what y’all doin’!!
