Nova Starz - Not Surprised (Prod. by Street Scott) [NEW SONG]

What's up? It's the real Carlton Banks over here and I'm just hoping y'all had an awesome Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate (or if you don't celebrate a holiday at all, I just hope you had a nice day)). My laptop's up and running again, so I'm back to this blog thing I do in my spare time. I'm on break until Wednsday, so I'll have a lot of that hehe.
This track right here, I heard a few days ago on BmoresVeryOwn and Street Scott sent it into me. Before I go in about how amazingly futuristic this is, let me introduce everyone here to Nova Starz and Street Scott. Both are artists from Baltimore. Nova Starz is a singer. I first heard of her earlier this year when I saw her video for Time Machine. That video in itself is crazy; the way it's put together, amazing vocals, and ridiculous production (also done by Scott). This woman is bringing originality and a new sound to RnB. She reminds me of Jai Paul in the exemperintality, but still having sort of an RnB/pop feel in her songs. Around then is also the time I first got into Street Scott. One of my friends who is also into the Baltimore Hip Hop Scene told me about him and this dude is ridiculous. While he's produced for major label artists such as Jim Jones, Max B, and Jadakiss, Street's production is going to be a major foundation in that Baltimore sound. He's produced a lot of Rickie Jacob's dopest shit and made heaven in a FreEP for Rome Duran. On top of his amazing production skills, Scott is an amazing rapper, doing features for artists such as Big Dro and having a single like Rocket Man. These two people are, in my opinion, two of the most creative and original artists we have in Baltimore. They're both on my list of people to make it out of here. You know what's even better?
They're engaged. WHAT? PEOPLE THIS AMAZING ACTUALLY FIND OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE THAT AMAZING AND GET MARRIED. THAT'S RARE. it's happening, bro. You saw the end of that Time Machine video. lol. They're like a younger version of Winslow Dynasty lol.
AND NOWWWWWWW the song.
The song starts off with a little vocal bit that I know is from something else! Ahhh it's killing me that I can't remember what it is. Nova's voice throughout this whole track is just beautiful-- no. It's better than that. It's sumptuous. All vocal delivery is flawless. I wouldn't be surprised if she recorded it all in one take. Nova Starz makes singing sound so easy to do (and then, I tried singing. It wasn't as easy as Nova made it seem). The instrumentation is so heavenly. I don't know if those drums are live or if Scott is just that fucking amazing at sampling/creating drums. The beat is so smooth. This song doesn't even sound 2012. It doesn't sound 2013. The song is from the future. Nova Starz is going to change and bring back life to RnB. I don't have much more to say about this, but that if you read this and don't download the, you're choosing to live under that rock.

QUINTUPLE NERD APPROVED, MY NIGGA.
Get ready for Nova's album Dark Lovely Places... For The #Ragers coming next month!

Eske - Fuckin Problems (ft. BKnitts, Tommy Prospect & Bobby Woody) [New Song]

Ayo! It's Bill Nye's 2nd cousin aka the original Black Nerd, Waverly Spades! I'm pretty sure this song was released about a month ago, but I had to post it! It has three people that I've posted before and love! (BKnitts, Bobby Woody, and Tommy Prospect) If you don't recognize Tommy Prospect, it's because he used to go by the name TGK. "Tommy Prospect" sounds a bit more matured to me. I like it. The new kid here is a Milwaukee rapper that was raised in the suburbs of Chicago (lolwut?) named Eske. I'm pretty sure that's a river in Ireland. And now that I've taught you something new, we can go on with the song! I'll just tell you guys how I like it verse by verse.

BKnitts - This verse was one of the hardest to me. Also the 2nd funniest. "Sweet Jesus. BKnitts, stop rapping like you mean it! People gotta think you're not manic or conceited!" The verse easily switches around and gets a bit narcissistic. That's not a bad thing. It's just really clever to use your problems on a trap called Fuckin' Problem lol. "Got 2Chainz, I'll be glad to rip em off ya!" Did I hear BKnitts do Schoolboy Q's "yawk yawk" thing?

Eske - I have mixed feelings about this verse. It's not bad or anything, but you know how people feel about ASAP Rocky's verse of the original to this song? That's how I feel about this verse. It's only feature quality, but it's his song. Eske speaks a lot about the job market and rappers messing things up being his problems, but other times, lyrics put together just don't make sense to me. Overall, this verse is great. I listened to some of the other stuff on this guys YouTube where I like his verses more. They just make more sense to me! My main complaint is the quality. The verse sounds recorded on a laptop! Step that game up, son!
"Music game is tough and this job market's cutthroat." 

Tommy Prospect - I like that first line. It reminds me of Camus' "Maman died today" in The Stranger. "Me and Bobby just some hoodrat misfits." idk why exactly, it's just odd. like, who starts a verse like that? lol. "I'm gifteeeed like Christmas!" I see who is the Drake of this song. lol. "See a 14 year old, all y'all know is the man!" I like Tommy's verse because instead of rapping about his problems, he raps about his lack thereof. Not saying he has a lack thereof, but this is the verse that seems most mainstream crafted, but it's not. Instead of complaining, it's basking in the happiness of the moment. I fucks widit.
"I'm gon punch my problems in the face. What the fuck is a problem anyway?"

Bobby Woody - okay as soon as I heard "THEY LOVE DINGO GANG THAT'S THE FUCKIN' PROBLEM," I had that face like "this nigga.." This verse is the funniest to me. Bobby clearly is the one who sticks to the topic of the song: fucking girls; but his problem: girls don't want to fuck him. lol. "I said 'girl, I know  you want this dick!' She said 'Bobby, that shit sick!'" Like it starts off really serious like "And now this music shit is a business," but somehow gets to lines like "A virgin getting more bitches on his Toshiba" lmao is this nigga rapping about porn? I don't understand! And he gets to talking about the friend zone and shit. Somebody, please put this in RapGenius for me. I'm having a fuckin problem understanding what he's rapping about!
"Ho happy she got a nigga acting niggerish.. Bitch, I got a white girl acting liquorish!"

Overall, I like the song! Nerd approval over here!

Oh and by the way, I saw this.. That video is almost at 1000 views. Where's the video, you liars?

Diplomatic - Vital Information [Single]

I know I'm late, but a few months ago, this dude that goes by Diplomatic sent me his single called "Vital Information." I keep telling myself I'll get to these sooner or later, well here I am finally getting to it. Diplomatic is a young rapper/producer from Baltimore. This is one of the singles from his upcoming mixtape "Dipluminati"
The beat is like a mix of Lex Luger and some 2006 RnB. It's smooth and hard at the same damn time. hmmm. The first verse is hard with a lot of interesting stuff said.
"Sex, money, and drugs. Pick on of the above. That's all you niggas love thinking you are a thug." That's a not so typical line about some very typical niggas.
"Devil worshiping idols whom are suicidal" I actually really like this line. That's probably the most significant thing I've heard today. Of course, I'm not one of those people who claims every artist is Illuminati, but say if Kanye West was (which I don't believe he truly is), he had lines like "Sold my soul to the Devil. That's a crappy deal" and "Suicide, what kinda talk is that?" Diplo goes at some of our greats with that one right there.
The chorus is interesting. "Take this vital info, stop being a bitch!" That's my new catch phrase. lol.
Overall, I think the song is okay. Diplomatic also made the beat. I like how it goes from intellectual one line to silly the next. It's Nerd approved. Check it out and see if you like it.

Y1 - FinallY Or1ginal (Mixtape Review)

What's up errrybody? It's me, the real Carlton Banks aka Bill Nye's 2nd cousin aka that nerdy ass nigga who decided to start a blog and bash on the niggas he hates aka Waverly Spades. I haven't done a mixtape review in a minute. Recently, Y1 found his way into my ear and I was itching to take a listen. Nicholas Pullen is an up and coming rapper from Baltimore going by Y1. Let's see what he sounds like.

Members Only (Introduction) [Prod. by Piz Corleone] - This song is a nice intro. Y1 throws some nice bars with a dope flow. Nice way to start shit.
"I don't need critique. I am who the real is." Well fuck this review.
4.5/5

Famous [Prod. by Audio Dope] - That hook is very warming. What is that from? It sounds so familiar. Y1 tells us how he wants to live. It's life most of us go for. I like how Y1 paints his dream to us. I really like his flow. The beat is great. Idk why, but this is better than other songs I hear where artists are complaining about how they want fame. This song is dope.
4.7/5

Don't Give Up [Prod. by William Kraz Johnson (of Eyecon Music)] - That MJ sample! yasss. That beat is on some 9th Wonder shit. This song is smooth. Y1 raps more about fame, but from a different angle, the dreaming part. The premise of fame. Y1 makes a dream so inspirational.
"Baltimore til my back break. Even though it's just a lil spec, that lil spec gon give this man a check."
4.2/5

Skylight [Prod. by Kae B (of Eyecon Music)] - This song had a dope music video. It shows a lot of Baltimore areas that I'm familiar with, which makes me happy. Someone from Baltimore getting love like that is a great thing to see. This easygoing song is nice to vibe to as the tape continues.
"I'm just tryna make it to the skylight. Surrounded by vampires, what a Twilight"
5.2/5

Recruiter (Skit) - Damn. I usually don't like skits too much, but this skit speaks numbers, not only about unemployment, but how most jobs aren't really shit. I'm glad I'm not the only one who believes it. Don't conform to just being a number. "Can we hurry the fuck up cuz I got class in like 45 minutes" lololol

What I Gotta Do [Prod. by William Kraz Johnson] - This song is nice. It took a few listens to get used to the chorus. Nice message on determination.
"The weed I had to cough it up because it was clouding every vision I would conjure up"
3/5

2000 to Forever (ft. 810 & Black Sunn) [Prod. by Kahlil The Wiz Kid] - The beat is that feel good shit! Y1 killed it and picked the perfect artists for features. When I first heard 810, I thought that was Da Kid Gowie! lol. 810 and Black Sunn perfectly complimented the track this is probably one of my faves off of the tape.
"All you do is slang hatred, then hide in the Matrix."
4/5

Reincarnation [Prod. by William Kraz Johnson] - Ohhh we're slowing things down now, huh? The beat sounds like a cut off one of the old Kanye albums. Y1's faster flow goes perfect over this. It's like Twista's verse on Slow Jamz. haha. I fucks with this track.
"Sometimes you gotta change the paint to get the right picture"
3.9/5

Rich Man & The Pauper (ft. Jay Verze) [Prod. by William Kraz Johnson] - A pauper is defined as a person without any means of support, but is there anything that defines a man as rich?  I remember when this joint dropped a few months ago. My question since I first heard this: Out of Jay Verze and Y1, who is the rich man and who is the pauper?
4.2/5

Music Is Cocaine (Skit) - At first, I thought this was just some random skit where Y1's playing guitar and I was like "wtf?," and then my nigga started singing. This should be made into a real song. It sounds like some J. Cole shit.

Let's Get Away (ft. Ashley Alexander) [Prod. by William Kraz Johnson] - That sample has me reminiscent of J. Dilla stuff. I'm also thinking of 9th Wonder. This track is just chill. It's the equivalent to a filler for me. I like. Vocals are provided by Ashley Alexander and they are quite beautiful.
3/5

Beautiful (ft. B Swails) [Prod. by Go (of Misfitz Sounds)] - Go (of Misfitz Sounds) gets mad love for the beat. It's nice and smooth, but I can't find the guy online whatsoever! Y1 drops a few hypnotizing bars. B. Swails voice is just soothing. The bitches are gonna love this. Y1 is adulating someone in the best way possible. I'm going to sing this to a girl and see where that gets me. lol
"I just like to live like it's my last night cuz when the day comes, this a past life."
4.7/5

Drinks In The Air [Prod. by Joshua "Jehdi" Thomas of The Humans] - The idea of this song makes me chuckle a bit. It starts on some really chill, Jamie Foxx type shit, and then the verse is  just Y1 going in. It's a nice, sudden change of feel. I don't drink, but I'm sipping my Pepsi to this joint. Jehdi is an amazing fool for this beat, especially that chorus section. This joint is the perfect mix of rap and club RnB (the Jamie Foxx/T-Pain shit).
4.2/5

Little Does She Know Part 1 [Prod. by William Kraz Johnson] - So much, yet so little to say about this song.. I'll let it speak for itself. Beat.. also crazy. Can't wait for Part 2.
5.2/5

Kobe Bryant [Prod. by Piz Corleone] - GOT ME FEELIN LIKE I'M KOBE BRYANT. This beat is on some Waka shit. If you were here, you could see me doing my swag dance. This nigga, Y1. This nigga right here, son! This nigga right here! Somebody put this shit on 92Q so I can drive to school like "CHANGE MY NUMBER ON THESE FUCKERS LIKE I'M KOBE BRYANT!" I love this song. I'm usually not into songs over beats like this, but Y1 is so versatile that I actually like this! His flow is ridiculous!
"Might be on the same team, but there's no alliance"
5/5

Goodnight - I thought the beat was a Kanye intro lol. This song starts with some crazy lines like "Don't be sipping like a bitch. I give a damn bout what yo throat say!" The beat is RIDICULOUS (after you get past the Kanye intro. lol.) The chorus reminds me of some J. Cole shit. This track is stupendous. The beat has a Kanye ending too. lol.
"Just don't be like Daniel and try to Jack my shit!"
4.9/5

Lincoln's Address - This track had a dope music video. The song is just inspirational. It's a nice look around and a great way to end the tape.
"Even though I'm 1%, my flow has to represent the 99."
4/5

Point blank, this whole tape was great. I heard a little of Y1 before, but I honestly did not know what to expect. I wouldn't call this a mixtape, but an album that Y1 was nice enough to give to us for free. Pullen is an amazingly versatile artist, going from songs like Skylight, to Let's Get Away to Kobe Bryant to Lincoln's Address and keeping it all real and amazing. There is never a lack in quality, stylistically or lyrically. This is honestly one of the best mixtapes I've heard this year. Y1 at times sounds like the perfect mix of Lupe Fiasco, J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar. That's 3 of my favorite rappers rolled into a guy from Baltimore. This was a great mixtape and I can't wait to see what else Y1 has in store.

Bink (ft. Jay Verze) - Toddlers

Ayo. What's up? It's me, the real Carlton Banks. I haven't been able to write much lately because of my loads of homework. (School sucks. Winter break needs to be hear now.)
This a young nigga movement! Well, I saw this track on TrapRockRadio. I've reviewed Bink and Jay Verze before, so I had to check it out. The track is hard. This is some pretty equanimous shit that was just bumping to me. I had to bob my head for that chorus. I'm sorry Bink, but Verze killed you with that 2nd verse! Bink came back hard again for his 3rd verse. It sounded off beat for a minute at the end though. Well, that's all I have to say for this track. You check it out and judge for yourself.

KRYMEZ - Authentic

OhHaiThere. It's me, Bill Nye's 2nd cousin, the real Carlton Banks, the real black nerd, and a whole bunch of other stuff. One of my friends got me onto this independent rapper hailing from Cleveland, OH. He goes by the mononym of Krymez. This dude is really dope. He made a smooth ass beat. Nice repetitive (but not seemingly) sample. This kid has lyrics too.
"Got the sample in seconds. Made the beat within minutes. Sometimes I sit back in wonder like do these niggas really get it?"
A lot of funny, little wordplay.
"Show ya girl I don't play, like I had a sore arm."
"My girl going both ways like a steering wheel."
I heard another one of the cheesy Instagram lines, though. lol.
lol the dude had to point his point across. Nothing sexy about lesbians.
From the stuff I've heard on his YouTube channel and listening to the mixtape, I like Krymez. I like this song. I'll probably review the whole mixtape later. Check this dude out.
"This is not a game. Really, I'm not a dummy. Not rappin a bunch a lies and stealing my mama's money."

Sooo, I saw Jay O (the Radio Host of PhreshnPhamous.com) promoting this mixtape and I decided I'd take a listen. I don't have much time, so I'm not gonna do the track by track, but I thought it was definitely worth posting. The first track was some real shit. That's how you start a mixtape. There are a lot of dope beats and  Shu says a lot of great lines. One suggestion, he needs to switch the flow up sometimes! I like the mellower tracks The PhreshnPhamous tags came up at the wrong times sometimes, but it was cool. What do y'all think? peep it.

Bobby Woody - Find Freedom Lonely Losers

Hey nerdy people. It's me, the real Carlton Banks, aka the real Black Nerd, aka Bill Nye's 2nd cousin through adoption. Today, we have the Loser Philospher, Bobby Woody's new track, Find Freedom Lonely Losers

I don't know if you guys know, but I know Bobby Woody personally. He inspired me to make this blog shit. I was waiting for him to drop something so I could tell him what I think (and bash him heheh). People call him me. He's not me.

jk I'm totes Bobby Woody, guys.

ok back to the song

"I smell bullshit.. Must be cuffin season." HAHAHAH

Somebody should put this on RapGenius.com. There are quite a few lines here that I'm pretty sure most non-nerdy people just wouldn't get, or some of us nerds who probably didn't catch certain things the first time. I honestly missed a few, but then I listened a second time and was just like dayum. Mostly talking about the cartoon references like: "I'm battling tragedy and mana is baffling. Yugioh showed me dueling, but cartoons ain't explain gravity. It's a theory, it's grappling me down, this isn't happening." That line right there is pretty cool. I'm pretty sure the talk of mana getting lower (baffling) is from Bakugan or one of the old TCG's that we all used to be on when we were kids and then it leads on into Yu-Gi-Oh which sets up a bit of a playful tone. The part that's like "Cartoons ain't explain gravity... It's grappling me down," suddenly saddens everything. Although, I thought that was a bit cool because it referred to the album art (which is a screenshot of the Pigeon Man episode of Hey Arnold) that I heard mentioned nowhere else. In reality, Pigeon Man would not be able to be carried by pigeons lol. That's a bit of an underlying plot for the next line where Woody (hehe funny name) where he begins to speak as he's in a conversation with someone else talking a confused girl out of suicide. "Starfire made it look easy." Flying=Suicide. It's.. touching?

The chorus is okay. Should've kept Amber Coffman on it! Her voice was so beautiful! and that body is so.. statesque..

The next verse starts out a bit offbeat to me, but it's the one I like best. The first line alone, "There is the American dream and the Black American Teen," is a big criticism on the American dream. If you read Of Mice and Men, George and Lennie's dream of a house of their own and working for themselves; that was and still is widely considered as the American Dream. The dream of a large amount (NOT ALL) of black kids wanting to be rappers or models. Again, not all, just a majority. Two very skewed dreams. It leads into talk of murders and a father brutally hitting his family. This is the area of which Bobby wants to Get Free of. One last line I'll touch on that almost gave me hope in humanity was "I seek answers that Sophocles couldn't reach. I'm in the search for pansophy. Maybe man will see that pansophy isn't impossible, but most of man's greatest knowledge has yet to be thought of." That line is a little stroke of intellect. I love it. I know we all know Sophocles (the ancient Greek playwright). I'm assuming by "couldn't reach," means that he died, or couldn't live long enough to experience everything. (Maybe this line is about Aeschylus. lol) At first, I thought it was a mistake and he meant to say Socrates the philosopher. As it keep going he mentions "The search for pansophy." Pansophy is basically, knowing everything. Ancient Greek philosophers believed it was possible to write down everything they knew into books. Apparently Bobby does too, just not yet. I feel like the Sophocles/Pansophy lines were supposed to connect somewhere, but I'm not sure. welp.

One line that I just didn't get in this song was "As I jump through dimensions like breach and breach security.." This is why we need Rap Genius. lol 

The song was brilliant and the lyrics are well-crafted. If I could write so much about one of his remixes, imagine what I could do if this dude dropped a mixtape? You need to stop playing that one song a month thing and drop something serious! Or Imagine what I'd write about Kendrick Lamar's new album.. yeah haha. Go listen to it and support a Baltimore artist that I support.

BKnitts - I Rap Well

Brad Knitter is turning white girls ratchet! This is wordplay on wordplay. I heard the Ben Affleck/Daredevil line. This is so motherfathering awesome. Do you guys have thoughts on this? Haha the whole track is funny and dope. That part where he started spitting fast was ridiculous. BKnitts raps well. Good ass job, BKnitts. Good job.

TGK - No Curfew (Volume 2) [Mixtape Review]

Download Mixtape | Free Mixtapes Powered by DatPiff.com

So what's up? It's me: Waverly Spades,  the black nerd; aka Bill Nye's 2nd cousin; aka the real Carlton Banks. Today we have, 14 year old, Thomas Bates, aka TGK's (an acronym for Thoughts Getting Kreative) new mixtape "No Curfew Vol 2."

Headed To Gold [Prod. by Bobby Woody] - I like the beat. It's jumpy. The song is nice little introduction. Not much to say here.
2.9/5

Sittin' On My Sofa [Prod. by Thoughts Getting Kreative] - This is one of the tracks that dropped before the tape. It had a music video and everything. I love this song. Being a listener to TGK to a while, I honestly think this is one of the best songs I've heard from him. I believe he produced this himself too.. ? This song somewhat describes TGK to me: A young, chill, white kid who can rap (who has a lot of potential). While a tad bit lacking in lyrical content, the chill flow and beat make this a dope song. (The Future Effect). If you haven't seen it, the music video for this is cool too.
"I don't read masterpieces. I write them."
4.6/5

Next [Prod. by Regal Safari] - This beat alone is dope! TGK screaming around is cool. One thing that anoys me is is the off-keyed chorus. (PerfectPitchProblems)
3.7/5

Global [Prod. by Thoughts Getting Kreative] - err I don't like the beat so much, but the track is okay. As the song goes on, the looped beat gets catchy. The exponados are cool though. Who passed gas?
"Chasing paper. I got these haters chasing pavements."
2/5

Birds Are Dope. [Prod. by Thoughts Getting Kreative] - I didn't like it at first, but after I listened to this track a few times, I LOVE this beat and that chorus. Kreative's brother, Nick Bates killed it on the remix too. This track is hot.
"Haters hush up like Jessica Lange." WHAT? That movie was released when he was born? Whatchu know about that Thomas? lol.
4.9/5

Lost In Space (ft. Kitto) [Prod. by Cheif Kitto] - Ok. I'm not even going to lie. The song is weak when I first pressed play. Kitto's verse was okay. The beat isn't fully mixed, so that annoys me some (like the fake Carlton made ), but when TGK comes in, it comes off more listenable. I like the chorus. It's a change in pace for the song. There was one section in the song about how 2Pac is the most overrated rapper. I don't personally agree with this statement, but he's right about one thing. Most Pac and Big fans don't know a thing about the Outlawz.
3.1/5

Washington, DC [Prod. by Thoughts Getting Kreative] -  So I live in  Baltimore, so I love all of the Baltimore and Bobby Woody references, especially the one to Never On Sunday's! I love that restaurant. And now I'm hungry for their grilled cheese.
"Don't mind me, I'm doing what kings do.. Kings that don't have money. I'm poor fool!"
3.5/5

Heart And Soul / Spider Webs Interlude [Prod. by Thoughts Getting Kreative] - That sample/beat is genius. The song is creatively conscious. Kreative starts out rapping as himself, a deadbeat rapper in 20 years telling himself to quit. The 2nd verse is TGK telling himself that he's not quitting. The whole thing is oddly inspirational. He should send this song to himself in 20 years using FutureMe. This song is Carlton Banks Approved. The Spider Webs interlude is beautiful too. So far, my favorite songs off of the tape. If you don't listen to whole mixtapes, but want one song to prove the potential of this kid, check this one out.
6.2/5

No Curfew (ft. Bobby Woody) [Prod. by Bobby Woody] - This beat is weird. It's an aberration from the rest of the tape to me. Me and Bill Nye fux wid it. "I gotta glass of milk, then it spilled.." was that a WiseGuy reference? I like a bit of what Tommy was saying. The song was very decent.
"No one's quite the same crazy as me."
2.9/5

Cool Whip [Prod. by Victor Jones] - Ruby Mitchell bought this beat! I LOVE this song. This is song is a what I call the Tyga effect. There's a doper beat, so the rapper steps their shit up. I heard like 3 different flows in the first verse. lol I'mma start sayin "IT'S GON BE COOL WHIP, NIGGA" around school. This song is so swaqqie, son. I don't even need to use a monumental word for you to understand that. This just bumps. I'mma hop in the club and tell the DJ to play this and the white bitches will shake the ass. -goes off to do swag dance.-
4.3/5

Too Real [Prod. by Thoughts Getting Kreative] - Tell me why the beat reminds me of the one for Clique. It's just the beat. I know this is completely unrelated, but the mixing on this song alone is pretty alluring.
2.9/5

Take A Bow (ft. Pure Knowledge) [Prod. by Thoughts Getting Kreative] - Oh yeah I remember this! It dropped before the mixtape, video and all. I love the flows on this. Tommy came in and killed it and PK murdered. I don't fully understand the title, but I can hear them rapping about wanting to get famous. I like this song. It's classy. Did PK pull out one of Big Sean's "Boi's"? noooooo. I like Kreative's 2nd verse best.
3.2/5

Live Good [Prod. by Thoughts Getting Kreative]- The beat starts and I'm thinking that beat for King by Vanity is playing. This is cool too, though. When TGK starts rapping, I didn't like it, but I start to feel the vibe and like it. I'm wondering what sample was for this beat. I agree with everything Master Bates is saying with this track. It is someone beautiful. He goes from living good and talks about how the fans don't matter and his dreams. It's dreamily nice. The singing in the background gets annoying sometimes. Just live nice.
"I'm not the only one who dreams of a better place."
4/5

Way Fly [Prod. by Caleb Sarikey Beats] - The beat is a beautiful looped sample. Some old school Kanye type shit. I was really expecting TGK to go harder. The song and lyrics are enjoyable, but I feel this is one of those songs where you have to start rapping aggressive (he didn't start switching the flow until about the 2nd verse. it's nice though.) This is another one of those tracks I had to ease into. I dig it though.
"I gotta balance a school flow and a music flow and keep both dope"
4.4/5

Arrival [Prod. by Thoughts Getting Kreative] - A nice, little, inspirational track. The beat and message are dope and that's what matters, riiight? Very well put together. Thumbs up.
"You can't see through my eyes. My favorite color is Tie-Dye"
3.9/5

Chickens (ft. Lil E & Emceeven) [Prod. by Victor Jones] - I dig this beat too. I see Emceeven bough this beat too hehe. Chicken is a weird name for a song to me though. I keep thinking of the space chicken in that one episode of Courage the Cowardly dog. One line that made me think for a second was when Lil E said "What does it mean to be intelligent when loved ones are irrelevant?" After thinking, I think that made no type of sense. Two lines put together just to rhyme. lol put some thought into things, guys. Lil E and Emceeven put in a few dope bars. It's a coo' song.
3.6/5

Drop Your Jaws [Prod. by Thoughts Getting Kreative] - Aww yeah! One of those epic movie score song sounding beats! I'm pretty sure that is a film score sample. lol. The song is dope! I love the chorus. This is one of my favorites off the tape. Good job Thomas. Good job.
5/5

Sittin' On My Sofa - P2 (ft. BKnitts) [Prod. by Thoughts Getting Kreative] - This was the track I anticipated most on the mixtape. I knew BKnitts was going to be on, and you guys know, I already love him. When I saw this in the tracklist, I jumped for joy a bit. I love the song. The beat is amazing. Both of them kill it. I'm jumping around and dancing to this. Definitely saved the best for last.
6.3/5

Overall, I love this mixtape. I'm not loving it because it's GKMC or something extraordinarily new and amazing, but because this is the definition of potential. I am sure all rappers have a mixtape like this laying in the archives. The beginning stages. Kendrick Lamar's first mixtape was his potential. KiD CuDi's Demo Tapes were his potential. Once artists get past their potential stages, that's when they really grow like artist. There are some dope songs on here and TGK made a majority of the beats which is amazing. While somewhat lacking in lyrical comment, the beats tend to make up for it. This mixtape is better than No Curfew Vol. 1, and I believe that TGK's next project will show him in his true form. In an odd way, I do love this. Good job, kid. Keep improving. Sheldon Cooper has his eyes on this.

BKnitts - Won't Stop [Remix]

So what's up? It's me: Waverly Spades,  the black nerd; aka Bill Nye's 2nd cousin; aka the de facto Carlton Banks and today, I have one of BKnitts' new tracks, Won't Stop. It's a remix of the Childish Gambino joint. I believed Brad has dropped about 3 or 4 new songs this week (that I will post soon) and this one is probably my favorite.
.At first, I didn't realize that it was remix because I heard the "Hi Bobby" tag. lol. The original is dope. I really like what Bobby did with the beat, mainly the piano chords at the end.
Brad killed the song. You can hear the emotion in his voice. Throughout the song, he also speaks of dealing with his friend who just died. I would like to take a moment to say Rest In Peace Jon Bauer.
"My mom asked me if I have ever contemplated. Contemplated what, mom? Take a minute, stop and say it."
That line right there made me cringe inside a bit.
I like this right here. It's stupendous. Keep doing it, Brad.

Twoiney Lo - Ransom Freestyle

Before I say anything, the quality is horrible. Whoever mixes Twoiney's tracks, get your shit together. Like damn son, you had one job! lol.
If you don't already know Twoiney Lo, he's a rapper from Baltimore. He's head of Baltimore Group, NWM (Nothing Without Motivation) and attends Polytechnic Institute. (Go Parrots?)
This Ransom verse was the first of Twoiney's Twoiney Lo Thursdays. I'm assuming that since I'm a week late on this, a new one will be dropping again tonight. Now that I say it aloud, I feel like Twoiney Lo Tuesdays would've been better because it flows a bit more, but nonetheless, I like the consistency! As a supporter of Baltimore music, I believe I've been listening to Twoiney for about a year too. I'm not a big fan, but I can say that this is probably the best verse I've heard from him. (2nd best migiht be Bonfire with Ronny.) Even though this is the hardest I've heard from him, it still not articulate enough in my opinion. Twoiney needs to learn to distinguish himself, but not sound like a somewhat more competent version of Waka. One of his lines was "I heard they getting money, but they only slanging knicks." While a tad bit typical, I thought that was funny, but then one of his later lines was "How can you snow shovel without a shovel" and I was disappointed  While I could go on about Twoiney, I don't want to give you a full detailed review of his music based on one songs and the singles I've heard from him. I'll wait until his Hungry for Greatness mixtape to drop.

Work - Amerika's Addiction

Josh from Amerika's Addiction sent me their new track "Work." If you don't know who Amerika's Addiction is, they're a pretty cool rap duo out of Milwaukee consisting of J The Truth and Ebonix. J Truth is the beatsmith and Ebonix is the rapper. Their motto is "Do What You Desire." If you've ever seen #DWYD written on girls' breastes, know that's one of these guys' fans.  They also run their own blog called DoWhatYouDesire.com
Yeahhh I know. Another song about rappers "working." Instead of a Wiz Khalifa type thing, this is more so one of those songs to played in the club while bitches work the buttocks. I thought it was funny how one of the lyrics was "Poppin bottles at work. Poppin pills at work." Like, where do you guys work at? Are the bottles free? I need a job if you guys are trying to hook me up. The beat on this muhfucka is banging. It's not wasted, but I feel they could've done WAY more with it.

Shwaze Collins - Forever Dope

Adrian sent me this a few weeks ago around the time I put up Jay Verze's interview! I told him I'd put his tape up, but I feel bad because I've yet to do it! lol. But here it is! The reason this review didn't come sooner is because I already listened to the mixtape and for the review, I have to listen to each song over and put in a little more thought. Usually, I wouldn't mind, but school is hard work. Speaking of that, I just got my Interims. Someone tell me why I don't have all A's, please.
Ok, back on topic. Adrian "Shwaze" Collins is a 19 year old emcee from Baltimore, MD. Working his way up in the scene, you probably know who Shwaze somewhat is. If you don't, you've most likely at least heard him on a few Jay Verze songs or Brandon Woody's Power Circle remix. I like the dude, and here is his new mixtape, Forever Dope. My 2 cents are below.

Download Mixtape | Free Mixtapes Powered by DatPiff.com

Forever Dope [Prod. by Sdot Fire] - Ahhhhh Is that Street Fighter? I am already entertained. Nerd boy happy. That gets extra points. The intro is awesome. When the song starts, the Sdot produced track is FIRE (Pun intended). This first song is a nice taste of the lyricist Shwaze is.

"I ain't saving you hoes. What I look like? Private Ryan?"

4.2/5

The Grind (ft. Juice) [Prod. by Scrilla Beats] - Ok, I don't like this song as much as the last one, but it's okay. This is one of those songs I try to get girls to booty dance on me with (if only, if only). The beat alone makes you feel whizbang. I don't think I'm familiar with Juice, but he did a cool verse. That chorus is mixed roughly. Their verses didn't really impress me, but it's an aiight song.

2.7/5

We Make Money [Prod. by Y1] - Y1 produced this? Like, the rapper Y1? I didn't even know he made beats! Haha the beat alone is feel good. Collins threw on a few hot verses. The song is beautiful. I would say that if the song wasn't mainly about that money money life, it would be perfect, but this sounds like one of those songs that would be in the background of a montage of niggas throwing money around after they robbed a bank or something (sort of like in The Town, Tower Heights, or when the dude stole all of that money in Jumper). lol

4/5

Fame [Prod. by Dre Beats] - First off, I'd like to say that fame isn't everything, but let's be honest. We all want it. The beat is stupendous and Shwaze's vocals really compliment it. I like it. I feel like Shwaze should've put Jay Verze on the track. That would've been really dope. To the producer named "Dre Beats," as long as Dr. Dre and his headphones are around, that's probably not a good name.

"I can't use euphemisms if the youth don't get it."

4.7/5

Shellshocked (ft. Geter) [Prod. by Lexi Banks] - I'mma be brutally honest. I don't like this one. that's all. (y'all know I loathe trappin beats.) I guess the verses were cool.
2/5

Do It [Prod. by Sdot Fire] - When the beat drops and Collins' starts rapping, I'm just dancing around like Bill Cosby, over there. This song is hot. I like it. I'm not too fond of the chorus, but the rest is nice.
3/5

My Life (Interlude) [Prod. by Piz Corleone] - The first line that I really heard and made me think was "It's niggas tryna stop my shine, but it's Shwaze, baby!" I was just like, what the fuck are you saying, bro? But the rest of the song is cool. At times, he switches from typical rapper to lyric.
"Should I sell that shit they measure on a triple beam just so that y'all nigga can't appreciate me?"
3.3/5

Unstoppable (ft. Ta'Ler) [Prod. by Zone Beats]- I like how his last line on the interlude was "I'm Unstoppable" and it goes into this. The beat is FIRE. Azula ain't got nothing on Zone with this one. "It's a cold world, but I'm not from the Ville." lololol. I like this song. That is all.
"I have a dangerous mindset. Blind eyes, quiet is kept."
3/5

Party Everywhere (ft. Yung Ram) [Prod. by Piz Corleone] - In this song, Shwaze tolerably sounds like everyone on MMG, but Ross and Gunplay. Ram sounds like Gunplay. lol. I think it's the beat. Beats like that  have been rapped on a certain way for so long, that people don't change it up, you know? like this sounds like it could've been on Self Made 2. The Chorus even sounds like Meek Mill bawling for no real reason. This song has me doing my Bill Cosby swag dance, but damn, where's the originality?
2.4/5

The Return [Prod. by Sledgren] - Sledgren be on some Lex type shit sometimes. Anybody in the mood for something a little more.. tardigrade? It feels like Shwaze's flow gets off at time. I don't really know. The song is aiiight. I hear a lot of those typically recycled lyrics in this song.
"Pillaging their villages like I am a pirate." lol. pirates don't leave the ship. c'mon guise
2/5

Gang Green Gang (ft. Rickie Jacobs) [Prod. by Zone Beats] - Ok, I didn't like the intro to the beat, but I really fucks with this one. I had that Obama face when the beat dropped and Shwaze started rapping. Rickie Jacobs just killed it as usual. What could I have expected though?
"Better watch what you say son. They don't play fair where I'm from."
3.7/5

Devil In A Tight Dress/Curse (Interlude) [Prod. by Lexi Banks] - Sooo, I was expecting Kanye West's Devil In A New Dress to start playing, but instead, I'm hearing the end of Fancy by Drake looped. I'm not complaining. It's a smooth intro and I like it. Collins goes on about that one perfect girl, that we all dream of. That hook is hot, too. I know it's sampled, but I just love how it was placed. While describing this girl, Shwaze definitely gets cheesy, but it's cute. When it goes to acapella, I can hear that it's heartfelt, but still cheesy, you know? I like it all though. I feel like it would've been cooler if they were two separate track; it would sound like two different chapters of a story. I like how in the end, we find out, it's all just a dream.
4.6/5

Self Made (ft. Y1) [Prod. by Scrilla Beats] - Ok Shwaze's 1st verse sounds horribly mixed. TIP: Please don't let your mixtapes have a horrible mix. The beat and the hook makes this sound like some XV type stuff. I like. Aahhhh I heard another "Green like Cee Lo" line. That has to be one of the most overused lines since "Fuck You" came out. While I don't like Shwaze's verses that much, Y1 put some magic on here. It makes me wonder what Y1 would sound like on a song with XV. (Can we make that happen?) "Jay Verze the future. Shwaze the underground king and I'm the overlord of rap dropping brown things." That one line in Y1's verse makes me really think about the whole ISMG team in a light of where they fit, like  a puzzle. it's cool.
"I try to be great, but everybody in the city loves to hate"
2.4/5

Bullseye [Prod. by Scrilla Beats] - Scrillaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Scrilla is that nigga for this beat. lol. Shwaze didn't kill it, but it's listenable. I'm pretty sure I heard him say in the chorus "I'm chillin like a chandalier." lolwut? I hear a lot of weak lines that don't really make since to me, but I'm not gonna go into that. The chorus feels so off to me.
1.9/5

Heavy Hitters (ft. Jay Verze & Yung Ram) [Prod. by Sdot Fire] - When I heard the beat, I started thinking of Mercy. I was ready for the Rick Hertz tag. I feel Shwaze could've went harder. Verze killed it. That lil nigga definitely sounds like Wiz on this. lol. I never noticed that until my brother told me yesterday, and I'm hearing it a bit, but it's somewhat different.. It's cool. I like that. Ram's verse is eh
2.6/5

Outro [prod. by SdotFire] - This is probably my 2nd favorite track. The beat speaks for itself and Shwaze compliments.
4.2/5

Ok, so Shwaze is a decent artist. The dude really has potential in my eyes, but the problem with that is that I've been thinking he's had potential for the past year or two. He needs to quit with the typical lines and make each and every one on that 2004 Lil Wayne level. Also, almost every song seems like something that would be played in the club. I feel like Collins needs some variation in his style. The best artist can create more than the feelings of love and fun. The mixtape is very decent in my opinion. I expect better from you Shwaze!

J. Cole & Major Lazer - Get Free Cole World

Here is the new J. Cole track. I actually love this. I mean, I liked J. Cole before, but I never fully understood the hype, but this track has definitely mad me aware..] He starts off rapping about a girl from the ghetto dating a white guy. "Niggas broke her heart, now she trying white guys. Too afraid to bring her around cuz her girlfriend's a clown like 'Girl, I ain't know you like em bite sized.'" It's understandable in this day and age because interracial dating has been misunderstood and still is. The verse is ended alone perfectly. "They askin questions about a 5 year plan. Who I'm foolin? They could never understand" The chorus is BEAUTIFUL. It's Amber (of the Dirty Projectors). I'm literally singing this around school. I love it.
I like how he starts talking about the election and then brings it to himself. I could quote literally every other line. "The same dudes think I'm fucking dimes all the time like I walk around with money on my mind all the time"
Cole shows us he's changed his sound and he's definitely grown up since The Come Up. I love it. "The old sound that I've grown out of was grown out of being broke with hope"
I'm really respecting Cole in a new light. I love it. 7.2/5

Twoiney Lo - Youngin Doin Me

Okay. If you don't know, Twoiney Lo is a Baltimore rapper who is also the founder of one of Baltimore's most popular groups, NWM. It stands for "Nothing Without Motivation," and it's formerly known as "Niggas Wit Money" (I think they changed it after Arioan's party). The beat is produced by Layno. It seems like Layno must be a bit new to producing. The beat isn't all that mixed, but it has potential. (Sorry, I'm a stickler for beats.) The song is aiight. Twoine's flow can get off at times, but he leaves his own impression. He's doing him. Stop hating. lol. I don't like most of the lines, not gonna lie. My tips: work on that rhyme scheme, and put a little more meaning in the lyrics. Keep doing you, my nigga. 2/5

Fuck Rap Ch. 2 - Bink

Ok. so the cover art is all demonic and what not. I think it's cool. It looks like one of the kids from my school drew it. Bink sent me this tape and asked for my thoughts, so I decided to take a listen. I've listened to the first Fuck Rap previously and some of the tracks on Random Acts of Flyness. Honestly, I don't like Bink's personality. He's a high school drop out who thinks he's already famous because he's getting play on DMVJams. The kid's cocky and names himself the Best Teen Rapper out there. While his arrogance upsets me a bit, the dude rips (skateboarding-wise) and he is a great rapper who's always grinding (no skateboarding pun intended) and constantly posting dope stuff. His videos get thousands of views and with Diamond Fire Films, they can be a bit "typical rapper," but they're cool.

IOF - I really do like this beat. Bink goes hard. Not much to say besides the fact it's a nice way to start a mixtape.
4.5/5

1/4 Brick Of White ft. Noski (Prod. by @TyyRocks) - This beat is hot. I like the song. I can do my swag dance to this song. I heard a cancer line. ugh. stop the typical shit. This song is bouncy though. I like it. Like play this at a party or something. I heard the first Le Scait Gawd tag. lol. Noski and Bink killed it. I don't know which verse I particularly favor.
2.7/5

Purple Kush Flowers - Is this a mainstream beat or something? I feel like I may have heard it. Or at least that sample. I love it though. Bink talks a lot about that rapper lifestyle we all know and love. The song vibes though. I like it.
-deep voice -Yeuh ho
3/5

LA ft. Jae Poet & Rickie Jacobs (Prod. by Jedi) - I saw Jae Poet and Rickie Jacobs and got excited. I love both of these dudes. Two of the most talented dudes in Baltimore. I wish Jae Poet's verse was longer. lol. Bink's flow is starting to get a bit typical, but it's still hot. Jae on that hook. yasssss. Jae just murdered his 2nd verse. Oh no. This nigga Rick. He went ham as usual. His verse was a bit funny. I love that beat. The end is weird. Who's supposed to be rapping? lol.
"She suck dick like Armageddon. Got big tits like watermelons. Wet pussy, that's all she's selling."
4.5/5

Liberachi ft. Shame & Noski (Prod. by @YoungOneBeats) - This song is cool. One of those club banger type shits. I don't like it mch. Bink killed. The other two dudes are alright.
1.4/5

Rod Flanders - Lol. I loathe this beat. I don't like it whatsoever, EXCEPT for that smooth part where the latino woman is talking. This negro, Bink did go off though. I cannot tell a lie. Cual es tu numero de telefono? Hahahha that had me laughing. idk why. Bink just really sounded like that Latina woman
3/5

Rap Niggas ft. Jae Poet & Rickie Jacobs (Prod. by @YoungOneBeats) - Ok, I know I heard this before! This was one of the singles. The beat made me do that look you make when the beat drops. Yeah, you know what I'm talking bout. That "ungh" face. I like this. It's really catchy. Jae killed his verse. Rickie Jacobs snapped. The only thing I don't like is that this song sounds unmastered, or something. Now where are these bad bitches at? When are they gonna give head to me?
3.5/5

Bonfire - God DAMN! This is definitely one of my favorite Bink verses. The boy went crazy. woop woop swag swag. I already love the original. I love this. The chorus is a bit odd in my opinion. I don't think much more needs to be said about this.
"They stupider from Jupiter"
4.4/5

Say You Will (deep) - Remember when Kanye first dropped this? I hated it, but I really like the original. I like Bink's verse too. It may not be Kendrick Lamar deep, but a lot of these lines are pretty dope. The flow is dope. I love it. The "swag" at the end killed the tone, though. lol.
"I ain't shit without my rap career."
4.7/5

Flexxin - I think this was one of the singles that dropped before the tape. I don't know exactly, I feel like I've heard it before. It's got one of those typical trap beats, and he's going hard. and yeah. Skinny nigga's runnin shit. This is a cool track though. I thought of 2Chainz when I heard this song, no lie. (no pun intended)
"Still tryna get mad rich, so I copped the Porsche, but it's 3 doors."
2/5

No Idea ft. Jase (Prod. by DreStolah) - I love DreStolah. I think I first heard him on the first Fuck Rap. Jase killed his 2 verses. Lyrically, not much content or anything, but what do I know? I have no idea what these niggas are talking about. Les Cait Gawd killed it. While the lyrics aren't speaking to me much, they somewhat do the beat justice.
"Fuckin for money, but they fuckin with me"
2.3/5

Stranger ft. King Midas & Day Day - This song is mad dope. I love this. When it first came on, I'm thinking, "What? They flipped Gotye?," and then I realized that they wrote that hook. Bink's verse is aiight, a tad bit unrelated. lol. That's Midas singing, right? I love that dude. This whole song is amazing. I don't know who Day Day is, but he killed his verse.
"She lying. Got predators prying. Competitors crying. Get cheddar for trying."
4.7/5

59 (Prod. by DameBeatz) - 59 seconds. Interesting idea for a song. The beat sounds like something Southside would do. I know I saw the video for this a few months ago. This is a song is okay.
2/5

The Last Stop (Throwback) (Prod by GeneralBeatz) - This is definitely my favorite song off of the mixtape. Has Bink released this before? It sounds familiar, but I know I've heard the beat on GeneralBeatz' youtube, so that might be why. The song is dope. This is probably the deepest song off the tape, man.
"You can't be hard if you doubting your son.. You can't go big if you doubt Fat Pun"
3.6/5

Black Tie (Jae Poet ft. Bink) - Life's a bitch, but you love these hoes. Ok, I love this song. Jae Poet is really dope. Bink's only on the chorus (lol like Kanye in that song with Fonzworth Bently). I usually think Bonus tracks are the best endings to a mixtape, and I guess it's just a bonus, but this is hot.
"I play the beat, prolly made the beat"
4.6/5

Overall, the mixtape was OKAY. I like a few songs and a few beats. Here and there, Bink throws out some really good lines. Like I said, he sounds really cocky, and that somewhat annoys me. Bink has an great flow and some good lyrics, but sometimes straying from a message or not having one at all. He does say some clever stuff and there are some great features and beats here, although some of this is just strepitous. One thing I noticed is that when Fuck Rap dropped, it was everywhere. DMVJams had his video and a banner up. The artwork/tracklisting was more professionally done. This seemed a bit rushed in some efforts. (UPDATE: I just noticed DMVJams.com isn't even up! lol what happened?) Umm what else to say. Swag. 67% D+

This review was brought to you by Waverly Spades, and now I'm off to do more reviews because it's a Friday night and you guys keep sending me stuff.

Jae Poet - LLC (Prod. by Street Scott)

I saw this track on Baltimore's Very Own a few days ago and I'm glad I did. Jae Poet is another one of the dope, but sadly, so underrated artists coming out of Baltimore that puts a real message in his song. Street Scott produced it and he is hands down the best producer in Baltimore, in my opinion. If you don't believe me, go listen to Rome Duran's album. It was all produced by Street Scott, and it's beautiful. This beat is beautiful and Jae did something amazing. I love this song. *changes ringtone* Go download it and see what I'm talking about.

Jay Verze - Cruisin'

If you read my review of TwoElevenSeventeen, you already know I don't like this song. First thing's first. That is a big ass Adam's Apple. lol Ok, see this is what I'm talking about. It's such a.. typical song. It's a basic video too. Like I was more so laughing at this than applauding it, sadly, but that's just me. And over half of the shots are him instead of the story of the video. That irks me a bit. lol. Like a scene of Jay Verze, and then another scene of Jay Verze. lol what? This video does make me a chuckle a bit. From around 2:17 to 2:22, he's just in your face. I don't know. It just makes me chuckle. Notice how Jay got the baddest girl? Lol look at Shwaze's and that other guy's girl, and look Verze's. Not fair haha. While the video is very beautifully shot, and well put together, I just don't like the song, and I don't like the concept. It's too basic, in my opinion. Verze can do way better. Now don't take this the wrong way. I may have just clowned Jay a bit, but I, Waverly Spades, support Jay Verze to the fullest. I just don't like this one song. lol I now know what it feels like to be the 1%. OK. so where's the One Night Video?

This was brought to you by Waverly Spades saying, simplicity is greater than basicness.

Return Of The Mack - Mack Scott

That cover art is just fucking gangster. Ain't it? The thug life definitely chose Mack. When this dropped, this guy went hood platinum in less than 24 hours. Dope, right? We all know I'm a pimp, so this is my type of music. I had to check it out. See what I really thought about it below.

Muhfuckin Mack - So the first track is self titled. That's something that doesn't happen often. This song feels all 80's. Like the Black Dynamite of rap music. (Does anyone watch that show?) It's one of those long verses and Mack Scott just tells us who he is. A rapper with a pimp flow. It's sick. I like this.
"Purple suit and Gator Boots, bitch I think I'm Slickback"
3/5

It's Not A Game (Prod. by Clams Casino) - The beat.. It took me a minute, but I definitely fucks with it. Mack just goes hard from the beginning to the end. I like the song and at the same time, I don't know.. The outro on the beat was nice though.
2.7/5

Cadillac Deville (Prod. by Pimp C) - ahhh yeah. This song is smooth. This song reminds me of an old Snoop Dogg track. This is definitely some pimp shit. This is one of those songs where you take out that Old School Caddy and turn the windows down.
3/5

Pimp $lap (Prod. by Oab Jenkins)- some more pimp shit. The beat is just trill. I fucks with that. Not much to say besides the fact that this a dope song.
"Looks like Cinderella slipped the glass off or her sole, but I won't save her"
4/5

Purple Naked Ladies (Prod. by Piz Corleone) - As soon as I heard the white girl say "Dosha Burna Beats," I was like, "awwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeahhhhhh. This nigga got Piz on the track." It amazes me how popular Piz is here in Baltimore. Doesn't he live in Louisiana? lol. I like this song. It makes me chuckle a bit. The lyrics are starting to get typical. A lot of talking about bitches, money, and drugs. The beat is smooth, though.
2.9/5

Notorious M.A.C.K. (Dreamin') - This is niiiice. This is chillll. That Big Poppa instrumental. yasssssssssssssssss. This song is more focused on his dreams and I really fucks with that. If he had an original beat this chill, this would be the perfect track.
"Pick her up around 1' and then I bust. Kwame Brown"
4.3/5

Game (Interlude) (Prod. by SangoBeats) - ooooh. I like the beat already. Mack hasn't started rapping yet, This Sango guy is nice.
Oh so he's not going to rap? That's cool. Let the music speak for itself.
I don't like that guitar whatsoever, but it adds a bit to the ambiance. That's nice.
ahh that's better.
eww. weird guitar instrument again.
Saved by the bells.
5/5

It's Alright (Prod. by Jay Verze) (Prod. by Piz Corleone) - AHHHHHHH SHIT. JAY IS SINGING AGAIN. *hits two step.* Verze sounding emotional as shit. He getting into this shit. lol. Let me stop before he disowns my blog. This is another one of those break up songs. Piz laid down something smooth and Mack tells a story. So to that girl who seeing other dudes and messing around and other shit, it's alright. Rappers get more bitches anyway.
"Even Einstein was fucking wrong."
4.6/5

Nemi$i$ (Living Dead) - Oh snap. I wasn't feeling that beat at first, but then Mack starts killing it. This is dope! Oh wait. Did I just hear a Kony reference? lost points. Other than that, this is hot. A few typical gun/war references, that sorta thing, but it's cool.
"Niggas fiend for brain like zombies."
3/5

WHOTHEFUCKAREYOU (prod. by Butch Dawson) - So is he Jujuan Allen or Butch Dawson? Well whatever, Butch made a nice little beat. I like the hook. Some of the message gets a bit typical, but the feel of the song is pretty cool. I can  bump my head and do my swag dance to this.
"Killing is a hobby. I use beats as examples."
3.5/5

Stick Up Kids (93 WAVE SHXT) (ft. Butch Dawson) - Butch just killed this. I love his verse on this. Sorry, but it gives you a lot to work up to, Mack, and you did. again. Butch called himself Jujuan Allen. which should I call him. This is probably my favorite verse from Mike the whole tape. Fuck it, this is my favorite song. That's that shit I do like.
"Some call em criminals, gremlins, and straight villains. Niggas just like you chasing their dream to see millions."
5.2/5

Sam$on II (prod. by Oab Jenkins) - I like this beat, but honestly, it needs to be turned up. Nice to know the vocals are clean, but I like hearing the beat sometimes too! haha. The song is chill and as I think I said previously, I love chill songs. Of course the song is about drugs and I don't condone that, but the song is chill, so it's cool haha. The chorus is cool.
"I'm not your everyday, average, drug connoisseur. I'm your mentor. An icon. Someone you can rely on."
3.7/5

#AriEmmanuel (ft. Storee) (Prod. by G14) - Another song about the bitches. lol. I like this beat. The first verse is cool. It's all feel good. not much more to say about this. Whoever that was at 1:50 needs to work on that flow. that was a bit disastrous. Not the best ending to the tape, but it's cool.
2.6/5

Overall, the mixtape was decent. It was definitely some Pimp $hit. I'm a pimp over, so I fucks with that, nawmsaying? Mack tended to repeat a lot of the same messages of bitches, drugs, and money, but it's cool. At times, something doesn't rhyme, and it sounded a bit weird to me, but in the end, it's all chill, so I like it. I love the beats. There's nothing I just didn't like on the tape. I can say that. Go download it and support.
