You already seen my review, but i will post it here so other can tell too.

01 - Intro (2/5)
Classic mixtape intro, nothing great about it, nothing wrong about it. I would expect it to be more like a vocal part of a movie, or a skit, rather than a verse.

02 - Haters (2/5)
The topic is obvious. Haters. The obsession with "haters". Over 50.000 hiphop songs are aimed towards "haters". I believe rappers should be flexible, learn to accept hate (if there is even such thing) and stop nagging about it in songs.

03 - Quick 16 (3/5)
Good thing about 16s, is that they are standalone 16 bars and dont need much to be good. This 16 is more about showing off, rather than lyricism or anything, which is what 16s are for. Fairly good attempt.

04 - All The Game Skit (3/5)
Vocal sample from a movie, gets an immediate 3, since its taken from a movie and its not your effort.

05 - Tha Game (4/5)
From the sound of it, its obvious that the mixtape will be more of a skill showdown, rather than storytelling. The effort is good, backed up with features and good production, Tha Game pursues high replay value. And achieves it.

06 - Get That Ass (4/5)
Hoe-loving flow on a retro production, that will make you nod your head to the rhythm. Although short in length, its enough to make you rewind it, one more time.

07 - That Nigga (5/5)
Retro sampled instrumental, nice laced vocals, the tape goes into a more personal feeling with this attempt. Though not much of a difference from the previous songs, its a stronger song, something like a crescento in the tape. Excellent effort.

08 - Fuck You Skit (3/5)
It doesnt sound like a skit, and if you made it to be one....well wrong move. As a freestyle is ok, although a downgrade from the previous standard set by "That Nigga".

09 - We Do Our Thing (3/5)
Thats a definate mainstream attempt. Good, albeit indifferent. Frankly i felt like i listened to 50, T.I. and most of the other money-loving rappers, sending threats to everyone and asking for money. Still a good song, and up to the standard. The empty space at the end of the song downgrades it, it certainly needed 1 more verse. Good effort though.

10 - Sometimes (3/5)
The classic mixtape freestyle, aiming for showing skills off, rather that much lyricism. 10 songs in, and the topic hasnt changed much, thats a negative. It shows some emotion in it though, making it ok.

11 - Ol' Skoo Style (2/5)
The instrumental was definately old school. The flow was not. I expected some EPMD, some Juice Crew stuff, and it really wasnt that. It sounds more like a modern attempt to imitate the old school sound, which is what it actually is. Wasn't really needed in the tape.

12 - MC Hunt (3/5)
Throwing threats to everyone on a thriller-inspired instrumental, making you feel like it came out the wrong horror movie. That was 180 degree turn in the sound. Definately away from mainstream sound, unless your name is Eminem. Only reason to include that song would be its replay value.

13 - Problem (3/5)
The topic is kept in the same tune. Threats at rappers, battle rapping, skill showdown etc. The song has a dirty south feeling on it, mostly because of the beat. It's an average song, and the continuous similarity to the song is starting to be repetitive.

14 - No Way (2/5)
As expected, the topic stays the same, just the instrumental changes. Out of 13 songs, 12 were about the same thing. Mediocre, and as i said in the past reviews, it's getting repetitive to say the same things on every song.

15 - Issues (4/5)
Right on time. I was expecting songs like this at least 2 songs ago. Melodic, moody, good stories about life. Quality is on the rise again in this tape. It sounds a bit like Proof's Kurt Kobain outro.

16 - Face Fears (4/5)
Oooooo-kaaaaaaay. Chipmunks and samples. This sounds harder. Shows more anger and rides somewhere between "No Way" and "Tha Game" keeps you right on track from the previous song, has a good replay value, something that people can relate to.

17 - Hey Spizzy Skit (3/5)
Skit, it gets an "average" immediately. The skit is about a convo, showing only the Spizzy side, until the moment that aaaaa...yeah umm...i should rather let the listeners judge. To be frank, i believe it is a bit lame as a skit, i should give a low rating on this one, but that would contradict my decision to vote for every skit with an "average". I will be generous and give it a 3, for the sake of my choice, but it is the last time i do that. From now on, anything besides vocal parts from movies as skits will be judged.

18 - See Change Aye Aye (3/5)
Back from life stories and anger to swagger and style. It's catchy, kinda reminder of hyphy sound (r.i.p.) and, although not on the level of other songs, you can play it again and again.

19 - Not Worth It (5/5)
That sounds alot better, melodic and emotional like the standout songs of the tape. At the twilight of the tape, thats something that will keep your ears stuck to it for a bit more. The effort produced the desired outcome in this song. Excellent. Perfect move.

20 - Make Me Better Rmx (1/5)
Nooooooooooooo!! No the fuck you didnt!!!! No no no no no. One thing i hate is an unknown rapper putting himself next to platinum and worldwide artists. Either use the instrumental and make your own song on it (sometimes, even that is unacceptable) or at the most, use a portion of their vocals as a sampled hook. You could simply remake the chorus, by singing it yourself. I dont care if you outshined the original artists x100. It gets a low review, for keeping Ne-Yo and Fab in it.

21 - Hate It Or Love It (2/5)
Ah, an internet story, Lol. Anything can sound good on that instrumental. But you really shouldn't turn it to that kind of song. Plus the unmastered vocal Dope laced, downgrades it even more, to a point where there is no replay value. Too bad.

22 - Outro (1/5)
Shouting out the colleagues etc, nothing great about it.

23 - Most Anticipated Raid (3/5)
Ah thats the bonus track. Why did you keep it for bonus? You could fit it in, instead of having it a bonus. It could easily replace the weakest songs in it, or even keep it without removing other songs. Ok attempt, but not fitting for outro. Should have been in the middle of the tape.

OVERALL (30/50)
There were jewels in this album. Problem was the extensive rap about the same topic: swagger, battle rap and "i am what u r not". Otherwise its a fairly good mixtape, dope in its sound. I didnt like the ending, to me its clear that you should stop it at "Not Worth It". In any case, the tape has certain replay value. Out of 4 people reviewed, you kept the quality to a certain level, and although you didnt win the competition, its still early to speak about it.

thx man...of course i read this before but....still ..and about the haters thing...i really do have haters...nothing like music beef...real street shit, ppl that hate me for being american o_O idk what their problem is, i let them be turkish or italian too, but they won't stop hating on me and the fact that i talk the way i talk...oh well...

[Kosovic]

Yeah well....that thing....well that you cant change. To be cynical here....if you look for a non-racist nation, you look in the wrong solar system.

But its ok....one cant always take everything seriously....sometimes you hardly pay attention to.

[Kez]

I thought i'd wait a while for this to go down before bumpin it for you

Still sorry for makin you wait so long haha

I'm hoping my feed doesn't seem ass-kissing or repetitive, it's purely what i think of each track:

1. Intro:
I thought a surprising amount of effort went into this, for an intro skit.
The verse is good
Good use of RS talkin in the end
I don't rate intro skits, but good job

2. Haters:
Beat's not bad
Well, i am loving your flow.
Great punches and multis
Hook's nice too
Good shit
The echo seemed a tad random though

3. Quick 16:
Niiiice beat!
Flow seems a tad off at the start, but after it gets in sounds good
Again your rhymes are great, concept is just 16 so i can't judge that.
Nice ending line

4. All Tha Game:
Don't rate skits.

5. Tha Game (feat. Big Ax_D & Jae Holla):
Good use of clip at the start
Beat sounds great
Again Spizzy great punches and rhymes
Flow is good
Ax, one of my favourite flows from you
Lyrics are decent, some nice punches, pronunciation is good on this
Using that scratch again haha
The Jae guy sounds a bit bored compared to you two
His lyrics are good though
Yes URD!

6. Get That Ass:
Oh boy. Not my type of track at all.
Don't like the beat that much.
Lyrics i think are crap, but actually pretty inventive considering all you're doing is describing women and their asses/tits haha!
Flow is pretty good though
But this aint my type of track, so i'm not much for it.

7. That ***** (i can't write that haha):
Loving the beat
Delivery here =
Lyrics and flow, amazing
This beat reminds me of Hate Me Now..
Hook is pretty good, but you could of used backup to go with the melody or somethin, i dunno that's the kind of thing i do
Ah, different styles.

8. Fuck You (Skit):
Don't rate 'em

9. We Do Our Thing (feat. SaJJad):
Beat is niice
Again Spizzy nice verse
SaJJad's verse's delivery is real powerful
Flow is great
Lyrics are nice too
Catchy hook

10. Sometimes:
Beat's alright
Damn i'm loving these lyrics
Flow again is good
Concept is fire to me
Hook is great too

11. O Skoo' Style:
Liking the beat
Another mint flow
Lyrics again nice nice
Hook is funny haha

12. Mc-Hunt:
I love this beat
Concept has been done
Some more good lyrics though
Flow again great
Hook is nice, "empty gun" haha that was good

13. Problem:
Again, like MC hunt, been done
Lyrics decent, liked the Hilton line
Flow good
Beat i aint liking as much, but good use of the background saying of "problem" on the hook

14. No Way (feat. DQ):
Oh i like the beat here
Again Spizzy sick verse
Hook is niiice too
DQ's delivery sounds a bit quiet, but flow is sick and lyrics are nice

15. Issues (feat. RandomGhost):
Good talkin from Random in the background
Beat is siiiiick
Spizzy your verses: amazing flow and lyrics, imo.
Hook =
Random: Quality i can hear sounds worse than Spizzy's
Lyrics are great
Flow is good but it sounds like a lot of your other tracks
Good verse though Random

16. Face Fears:
Oh goddamn
The beat and in particular the sampled hook is just fucking
Spizzy: again i love the lyrics and flow, enough said

17. Hey Spizzy (Skit):
Don't rate skits, but this is fuckin funny

18. See Change (Aye Aye):
Beat is decent, i don't love it though
Some funny lyrics here haha
Concept i like cause it's a change to the normal tracks about women
Flow again is great, you have flow pretty much mastered
Hook does it's job

19. Not Worth It (feat. and mixed by SaJJad):
Who's that in the beginnin? haha
SaJJad damn your flow and lyrics are great on this beat, some of my favourite from you
Speakin of which beat's nice
Hook i am loving too
Spizzy great lyrics, some funny lines again
Flow = nice
Were you trying to create a contrast between you and SaJJad like kinda sarcastic and SaJJad's fully hardcore attitude? I dunno that's something i kind of noticed

20. Make Me Better Remix (feat. Ne-Yo and Fabolous):
Beat's nice
I'm not really a fan of putting myself onto songs with mainstream rappers, really.
Not my kind of track either really..
I don't like this one much
Although i like your lyrics Spizzy, nice twist on it at times

21. Hate It Or Love It (feat. Dope):
Using mainstream instrumentals is a challenge, cause you have to live up to the original.
And this happens to be one of the few 50 Cent tracks i like.
Nice flow from you Spizzy, lyrics decent
Hook is nice
Dope's quality sounds pretty bad
Flow is a bit off sometimes
Lyrics are decent though

22. Outro:
Yesss shout out URD haha
Liked how you showed all the diff clips you used through the tape were on this one skit

23. Most Anticipated Raid:
Beat is nice
Another great flow from you
Lyrics are nice too
Nice little ending track

O/a:
Your flow is great, to me, on every track.
Your lyrics, in terms of punches and rhymes, are really great too on every track i heard, even on girl tracks.
Your beat choices are good.
Your features were good for the most part but you didn't have many. That's your decision.
Your quality is completely fine, no problems there
Your concepts are well-varied mostly, although there are a few more "fuck these *****s tracks than i expected", but they're all done in varied ways so you get away with it.
Your delivery is good too, found a unique voice kinda thing.
So really i thought it was a great tape. There isn't much more i can say, to be honest, without rambling, but there wasn't a track there that i really hated (and that's an achievement considering you had a couple of club kinda tracks ). So yeah, thought it was a great tape, so good work
The only "negative" thing i could note about it was how a couple of your features had worse quality than you/just bad quality in general.

Favourite 3 tracks:

Face Fears
Issues
Not Worth It

4.7/5

Oh, btw: covers are great. Good work Ax

[B.A.D.]
