im a huge fan of A-Wax i'll put that out on the table before this review, if you feel Wax you will feel this mixtape, if you don't, you won't. period. i kinda hyped myself up a lil too much for this shit tho, i wasnt sure what beats he was gonna use, etc. still, Wax pumped out a great tape, not his best tho.
1. L.G Dolo
-this is the same beat/song pretty much as #18 off Who Got It?! but its just him, and they switch it up. i like this beat, its chill, and its a smoke song, what more could you want. Wax spits a couple verses on here that you didn't hear on Who Got It?! "dope on the bay/ dope on the world, oh by the way, i got dope on your girl!" "all my whores, all my thug hyena's/ count who i trust on less then 5 fingers" cool song to kick it off with.
7.5/10 (only because i've heard the beat/chorus before.. woulda been an 8)
2. That One ft. Thugg Syndicate
-Thugg Syndicate, i don't know if this is Breadleone's group or what, but they spit on this shit. i don't really like this beat, it starts out tight, but then once it starts its kinda boring. has the halloween lil sample or whatever in it. Breadleone (i think..) spits first, and im not feelin him, but i never have. The next cat sounds a bit like Daz, and he's pretty tight. Wax shits on em all on this track.. "86 i was breakin in yards/ 88 i was breakin in cars/ 89? shady on the grind../ 90 was grimey, life was hard/ 91 comes and i'm twice as hard/" not feelin beat, not feelin Thugg Syndicate, only thing im feelin on this is A-Wax's verse.
6.0/10
3. Most Hated ft. Assasione and Conspiracy
-This beat is cool, its that one.. shit i can't put my finger on it but you will know when you hear it. Anywayz, Assasione i'm not feelin at all. his delivery is rushed and his rhymes are wack as hell. Wax rips this shit tho! "you see that scorpian seal? i dont need to rap/ i dont need no deal/ dont need distribution, im distributin/ im a west coast dope game long as im alive, im a bubble off a whole thang/ hold boat, hold plane, hold truck, hold train, just hold up mayne!" Conspiracy comes much cleaner then he did on Who Got It!?
7.5/10 (Wax's verse is sick as hell, other two are average, thats why)
4. All By Design ft. Ya Hyniss and Assasione
-this beat is that Noreaga one. you kno that one i came to party, ya girl was lookin at me.. "hey hey girl whats ya name? i know they try to get the pussy, but has any1 ever tried to fuck ya brain?" A-Wax spits one his less tight verses on this shit.. his flow doesn't sound that tight on this beat. Ya Hyniss is wack, Assasione is wack too. IMO!!!!
6.0/10
5. Gunsmoke
-This is the I Need a Girl beat.. and Wax spits gangsta shit over it! "its a cold game dawg, i been thinkin fucked up, its the cocaine dawg." "i'm a monsta, who plans ahead.. Cadillac truck full'a hands and heads!" Wax comes clean, but its only like 45 seconds. one verse. tight track tho.
7.5/10
6. Feel Free
-Damn! This is IMO Wax's tightest lyrics to date. "i got patna's i would kill for, but wouldn't kill for me/ seen a lotta things, got a reason to believe/ we livin in hell, i'm agein like a pitbull/ now become a problem for me, to keep the clip full" "i feel for the world, but it doesnt feel for me, just because its real to you doesnt mean its real to me." I'm not sure what beat this is.. but this is my favorite track on the whole thing.
9.5/10
7. Walla Walla
-this is the track about prison that every1 wanted to hear awhile back, and its fire! my 2nd favorite on the tape fa sho. "im sposed to do 7, but realistically, im probably gonna resort to a weapon, over some dominoes, you know how drama goes.." "redneck driver, muggin this thuggin, i take a picture of him wit my mind one time, may we meet again, so i can put like 3 up in him" fire!
9.0/10
8. Sacrafice
-this beat is pretty cool, theres some sample in the beggining, then Wax spits. "probably get whooped for somethin i forgot about/ if i had a hun' for every time i shot it out/ i wouldn't be rapp'n" "sacrafice his life, sacrafice yours/ sacrafice everyone, strategize wars"
8.0/10
9. Kick Rocks
-this one is sick. "there's a lot to be said fore i leave this earth/ if you hear hammers ringin, please disperse!" only one verse, like 43 seconds long. but he spits tight on this again.
8.0/10
10. Problem Is
-this beat is sick as hell. not sure what its from. "yea thats rite, i did it/ told him that you talk it, but don't live it" "on reality, i could give it to you/ them words aint yours they just delivered thru you" "im a predator, hold up, lemme put this in a metaphor for you/ im a lion you a boar" this one is tight, parts almost sound freestyled, dunno tho.
8.5/10
11. Stone Kold
-this beat is familiar, i cant put my fingers on it tho. "bay girls be the best in the world, when you get em on your team and you know you only smokin on the best in the world" "when im locked in the feds like larry hoover/ stone kold killer not a scary shooter" too short tho, only 52 secs.
8.0/10
12. Paystylin ft. Assasione and Conspiracy
-don't know what beat this is, but its coo. Wax spits first, and he comes clean.. "i was bangin when it wasn't cool/ i was slangin when you was in school" 2nd cat from BOK or whatever comes clean.. "like im on top of ya girl/ she keep a nigga breaded plus the head is outta this world" 3rd fool, i think its Assasione, is wack. not feelin him.
7.0/10
13. Wrong ft. Cellski
-this is knockin rite here! Cellski and A-Wax. dope ass track.. Cellski spits first and he's dope on this shit. "whip master, dip 6's faster/ ghost on the fifty like casper ya bastard" Wax spits dope too.. "pittsburg cali-4-in-the-mornin, kick down ya door, no knock, no warnin!" bangin!
8.5/10
14. Soulz on Wax ft. Assasione
-Wax over a the J to the Izzo beat, lmao. Wax disses his old record company and spits a lil 8 bar verse.. Assasione spits next, i can't feel him. Wax spits next and he comes clean "you don't even like yourself, ya lil bitch go fight yourself"
7.0/10
15. Payback
-this is a tight song. talks about kill'n the DA at the beggining.. "i got a passion for payback/ my heart beats faster whenever i say that" then he spits about startin to rap in prison.. "back in '96.. before puffy and his shiny fit/ i was off in Walla Walla bustin wit this grimey-ness.." clean song but short
8.0/10
16. Around Here
-this one is like a mix of a couple songs. The first one, the beat is kinda weird. Wax spits a quick lil verse and then its over. The next track is Wax and Breadleone. Beat is dope.. then Wax spits a tight verse. "here's me wit the Gucci Force/ there's you wit the bootsy Force/ here's me wit a gun on my hip/ there's you just runnin ya lip!" Breadleone spits next, and i cant feel his shit at all. After this is the unscrewed version of feel free.
7.5/10
aight my final thoughts on this shit is that its cool, but it coulda been much cooler. first off, the B.O.K i think needs to quit rappin for a lil and work on they delivery and lyrics, then spit some shit. tru, they elevated from their shit on Who Got It?! but i don't think they ready for this rap shit. Breadleone, i dont feel him either, but he isn't on it as much as BOk. 3rd, the tracks shoulda been longer, Wax would be rippin the track and then it would stop. but Wax spits flames and has elevated his lyrical skills and delivery.. this is a good teaser for the fans b4 his next solo.
