Wasn’t too bad for a record from jail. Obviously trying not to hold it to the standard I would one he was out and fully able to create on his own, but I can’t help but say this did get boring overall. Ynw melly really set the standard for me for jailhouse albums with his last album, but this one is probably my new bottom standard. Just ok but nothing to complain too much about. Fav tracks: Kiss ya neck, on go, listen, start some shit, tiptoe (even though this is like the third ... read more

Fav tracks: Rubber hand grip, daddy Kane, the ... read more

Not judging too seriously, this is obv a mixtape made just to support the release of the album, but for a bunch of freestyles and a couple throwaways this was very decent. Fav tracks: Dirty Birds (Freestyle), Freestyle, pt. 2, Twitter (freestyle)

The production was great especially for 2004 and still holds up great today minus hope I make it which I would’ve liked more with a better mix. ... read more
B.O.B rabbit hole part 6:
This is the first mixtape where it seems he has fully found himself. The concept is that b.o.b is more of the industry rapper and Bobby ray is more personal, and so the first half is b.o.b and the second half is Bobby ray. If this is the true vs of the two personas then b.o.b is way better because the first half of the mixtape completely clears the second. Of course there are some decent tracks in the second half, but maybe due to lack of features he started to fall ... read more
