This
next review iz a three-way combo: Tha
Glacier Boy, Y-Kean & Percy Campbell
Grindmode (LMG Compilation: Vol. 1)…;
really, Percy Campbell wit Lajah Music Group, again? Didn’t expect dat; wonder
where dat came about? Start Time: 2:23
PM | End Time: 2:51 PM
Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0
– 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!
I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long
as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and
then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a
song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6
rating, I pretty much really love it,
as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I
hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type
before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything
after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening
to it. If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or
talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01.
“Grind Mode”
Of
course, gotta have all three on tha starting song! Odd that tha title of tha
mixtape iz a compound word, but this iz two words? >>> I’m likin’ tha
new sound, here; feelin’ tha hook, wit two simple words, lol! Good job from
Glacier Boy, on tha 1st verse; nice job wit tha consistent rhymes…
Percy’s soundin’ good, on tha 2nd verse; consistency here, too… Time
fa tha lady, Y-Kean, ta end dis off… Not too bad wit tha rhymes; they’re
acceptable… Good job, once again, from Maserati Myers on tha beat! My Rating: 4.3
02.
“50’s & 100’s”
Just
Tha Glacier Boy, here; G Money Baby—whoeva dat iz—on tha beat… >>> A
lil’ good and typical, at tha same time, wit how this beat sounds… Tha content,
here, iz pretty typical as fuck, but I don’t seem too bored… Hopefully, when
this dude says, “50’s & 100’s,” that he can actually afford my services, which are hella cheap!! We’re talkin’, most are under “50” and even “100”! As for tha rhymes, they sound pretty
good; nothin’ ta say negative about this right now… My Rating: 4.2
03.
“On Dat Ciroc” Feat. Level
J
Hook = EQ? I’m confused, especially since I heard tha sound, too… Also,
non-‘remix’? My Current Rating: 4.7
04.
“I’m A Hustler”
LOL
@ “Produced by: N/A” on tha ID; that’s prolly why DatPiff removed it from tha
folder, so lemme hear this sample… >>> SMH @ an old-ass beat like dis,
from over seven years ago! Talk about how faggy those dayz were!! But, at least
Y-Kean’s consistent! My Rating: 3.8
05.
“On, On, On” Feat. MuttaGutta
Izn’t
Mutta Gutta’s name not compound? Either way, lookin’ forward to hearin’ some
new Glacier Boy music, courtesy of La’Keith on tha beat!! >>> Really
likin’ tha hyperness, here; gotta luv it, especially tha production!! Dat Mutta
dude’s pretty serious!! Anotha “money” song? Iz that Tha Glacier Boy’s only
topics? This 1st verse iz okay, but too many “swag” words, back ta
back… Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, either, but tha 1st
verse was much better ‘cause it actually didn’t have tha same words in it! My
Rating: 4.3
06.
“Wait A While” Feat. Jamie Clark
Not
likin’ tha title; it looks like a remake? La’Keith on tha beat, though.
>>> What’s this quiet sound? This has nothin’ ta do wit grindin’, or tha mixtape title, itself!
Prolly should’ve left this on an album, instead of a grind mixtape. Yup, I was right about tha remake; iz this even
called for, right now? Plus, it sounds like La’Keith turned pussy wit this
soft-ass production; revert back to a dude!! Finally, hearin’ Y-Kean rap, and
it’s decent, but overall, tha song definitely ain’t fa me! My Rating: 2.3
½time: A 3.9-rated CD, so far; whatever has
happened so far, I know dat I’ve been pretty anticipated, and still am!
07.
“Here I Go”
Just
Percy Campbell on tha track; have I heard this before, courtesy of Blitz Beats?
>>> Sounds familiar, but I don’t think I heard it… Cool voice, as
always, and tha rhymes are entertainin’, mainly ‘cause of tha voice. Tha beat’s
startin’ ta sound non-Louisiana, which it comes into question, right now: iz it
really a real beat, or taken offline? So, this was made last month, since you said, “December”? At least it’s on a recent
tip. My Rating: 3.7
08.
“So High”
Anotha
joint by just Percy Campbell; Ice Redd comin’ through wit tha beat, so lemme
see if this familiar… Damn, it’s not; how odd wit my weird expectations…
>>> Sounds like an okay start; a lil’ soft… LOL, even gave a shout out
ta “Hawk”? Guess it’s ‘best friends’, now? And, it’s snowin’ and snowin’ out,
right now… Rhymes are okay, but tha hook’s pretty ni—oh yea, this was a music
video! That’s how I remember it, from hella long ago, which was good. You
already know, you gotta luv this kinda content, no matter how tha beat sounds!!
My Current Rating: 4.1
09.
“Wut It Do”
Percy
Campbellless, here, lol, but La’Keith on tha beat, so let’s see “wut it do!”
>>> Sounds like a funny, attitude-type hook/question of tha title;
gotta feel it! Y-Kean has an okay 1st verse goin’ on, right now…
Time fa tha 2nd verse, wit Glacier Boy… Oh no, automatic-soundin’
rhymes wit tha “money” and tha “bad bitch;” ever rap about bein’ a virgin?
Lyrics are startin’ ta sound gay and typical; think I betta end this… My Rating: 3.6
10.
“Let’s Toast” Feat. Jamie Clark
A
Glacier Boy song, produced by The Synthesis… >>> What’s up wit tha
fade-in intro wit a gay-soundin’ beat? Kinda okay, but not grindin’ music… I
find it ironic dat Jamie Clark was barely in this ‘til tha end; sounds better
than tha previous feature she was on… My
Rating: 3.2
11.
“Gotta Get Dat Paper” Feat. Adlib
I
remember this from two years ago (Percy Campbell’s song wit Y-Kean), produced
by Ice Redd. Because I know Adlib a lil’ more, now, it’s not as bad as I
thought it was, previously… My Current
Rating: 3.0
12.
“Act A Asshole” Feat. Q-Red & Young Ready
Of
course, J Buc beat, but welcome to Faggville, 2010 style! It took one main
person on this song ta ruin everything—one dat invaded my brain over somethin’ free!!! Ugh, 2010, 2009, hate those
years!!! Thank God I’ll neva have to hear this song again, but I feel
embarrassed to have a really high current rating, still. Either way, that
doesn’t mean I’ll even spend one second listenin’ to this again! Was 22, now
movin’ on to 24! My Current Rating: 4.8
13.
“Can’t See It Through”
Endin’
it wit a Y-Kean song, produced by… not available? Not really lookin’ forward,
then. >>> Sounds like an ending song to an album; why iz this on a
‘mixtape’? Really not gettin’ tha rap/sing combination; sounds too weird for a
lady, now-a-dayz… Beat’s hella soft, and ain’t even close to my style! My Rating: 1.4
Overall: Well, didn’t turn out to
be tha best-soundin’ mixtape; prolly need to take those album cuts off to make
it better! But, at least there’s a coupla
new jointz in my pocket, now…
