Tyga: Bitch I'm The Shit


Latest mixtape from Young Money's own Tyga. Don't forget, his debut album on YMCMB drops on January 24th of next year. So go out and cop "Careless World" when it hits the stores. Till then, enjoy the tape.

01. #BitchImTheShit - Excellent start to the tape. Tyga spits an extremely catchy chorus over a very L.A. sounding beat. His voice got even doper (if that's even possible) and he shows he's improved his lyrics here. The overall product of a bumping beat, catchy punchlines, a crazy hook, an excellent rapping voice, and a slick flow is a promising start to the tape.
02. Bitch Bett A Have Money Feat. YG & Kurupt - Very westcoast sounding beat on this one. The bass fucking knockss. And that sample makes a crazy sample. Tyga gives a nice verse with a bouncy flow. YG sounds like he has down syndrome so I wasn't really feeling his verse. Kurupt is average. That dude's old as fuck though, I remember when he was on the Dr. Dre's first album. Anyways, catchy song here.
03. Make It Nasty - Club song right here. I could see this one catching on like "Rack City." This one's strictly for the clubs. If you haven't seen the video.. well uh get on that. I'm not gonna post it in here because it ain't for children. But here's the link: Make It Nasty. For those of you that have, WTF????? I swear, hip hop videos are gonna be straight porn in a year. And that bunny fucking the sex doll? Tyga Tyga's got some weird bestiality or something. Tyga musta had a real fucked up easter bunny taking teeth from under his pillow for him to come up with this aha. Man that video made to make people feel awkward I swear... As my boy Andriy said, "Tyga musta been horny as fuck on this mixtape." Ahahah truth to that. But anyways, the songs dope. Oh and because Gifs are my new thing aha, here's my gif for this one (Imma try to do one for every post):

He made it nasty...
04. Pop It
05. In This Thang - Weird little instrumental here. Hip hop beats on rarely based around bass guitars in this day and age. With the simple beat, Tyga's able to flow his slow flow and smooth voice. Simple but cool track here.
06. Orgasm - Once again, Tyga sounds like a dude rapping after his first time. This is dirtyy man aha, I can't even imagine the video for this one. Aside from the colorful images of Tyga smashing bitches in his kitchen, Tyga actually has an extremely catchy chorus. And this beat might be my favorite on the tape. It's sooo smooth. I like this one a lot regardless of what it's about. Favorite Song!!!
07. Dancin 4 Dollas
08. Heisman Feat. Honey Cocaine - This one leaked a while ago. Honey Cocaine is... well an Asian chick with braces. Dunno who told her rap but whatever. Tyga does this beat justice with a lower voice than usual. It's tough to say he's below average on tracks like this.
09. Mack Down Feat. Juicy J - The moment I saw Juicy J's name, I knew the beat was gonna be good. Tyga sounds excellent on southern beats I must say. Juicy J gives a solid verse here. Nice track here.
10. Bad Bitches Remix Feat. Gudda Gudda & 2Chainz
11. Get Gnarley - This beat sounds like something Beyonce would sing on ahaha. But Tyga rocks out on this one. I laughed by ass off him using the word "gnarly." This one's a party track for Cali, so we should probably throw a few ragers in the near future to utilize this track *hint hint*.
12. Bouncin On My D!ck Feat. Dashdcadet
13. Heisman Pt. 2 Feat. Honey Cocaine
14. Fuck With U - This beat is fucking odd (along with the rest of the track). And Tyga's singing threw me off. This sounds a cut from Rebirth. Not sure how I feel about this one yet. It's one of those tracks that I will either love or hate in two weeks. It's just incredibly experimental for Tyga. So I guess I give him props for that. But Tyga, stick to hip hop. We already had one person ruin their legacy on your label with a rock album..
15. The Motto Drake Feat. Tyga & Lil Wayne - Review


Tyga's doin a hell of job for giving himself promotion. His single is number 9 on iTunes right now (go out and cop it) and he's running the mixtape game. I don't even consider him a part of Young Money because they've done so little for him. But I respect hip hop fans a shitload for recognizing his talent and making him famous. T-Raw's gonna put one of the best albums of 2012 out (up there with Big K.R.I.T.), I can just feel it. Why? Well this mixtape is all the proof you need. He's matured every part of his sound. So go ahead and talks shit about Tyga because he's on a rap label consisting of Gudda Gudda & T-Streets... But Tyga's got talent. This tape is basically all clubbing music, but it's gonna get him buzz. All the songs are catchy and he shows his wide variety of skills. "Bitch I'm the Shit" is one of the best tapes I've heard this year.

Bitch I'm The Shit

Los: The Crown Ain't Safe



Baltimore's very own hits us with his latest tape. The dude's been gettin' some real buzz and he's proven he's got some talent so let's see how he does.

1. Make You Fly feat Jazze Pha (Prod by Lifted)
2. Living My Dreams (Prod by Mike Cash)
- Los spits some motivational shit here about doing your thing. Mike Cash gives a piano oriented track with some real nice drums. The DMV representative definitely shows that he's got some slick lyrics here. And he flexes his flawless double timing at the end. 
3. King Los feat Lola Monroe (Prod by J Feddy)
- Solid beat here. Los gives an excellent flow as he spits dizzying rhymes about gettin' money and pullin' bitches. Lola Monroe, another recent signee to Taylor Gang, is quite impressive here. She's one of the better female rappers I've heard in a while. 
4. Money Loud (Prod by Jahlil Beats) - Jahlil Beats laces us with a pretty average beat (for him) here. Los spits a semi slow flow here. This one's a banger, but I expected it to be better. Solid effort here.
5. Stroke Of Genius (Prod by Mike Cash) - Weirddd beat here ahaha. Los' lyrics from :56- 1:04 are dopeee. This is one has got some of his better lyrics. And that hook is fucking funny and incredibly raw at the same time. After hearing this one.. it's tough to deny this dude's talent.
6. 2 Vs 1 (Prod by The Young Boyz) - Simple track. Los speaks to the bitches here. This is a real westcoast beat (which is odd because he's from the westcoast).
7. Wait For It (Prod by Jazze Pha)
8. Biggest Fan feat Sean Hayz & Kid Ink (Prod by TheOnly4Point0) - This instrumental here is crazyyy. The way they flipped that choir sample was impressive. And that chorus is ridiculously catchy. The guy who sings it doesn't even have that great of a voice, but it works. Kid Ink (who has ben growing on me) gives a good verse (for him). He's not ridiculously lyrical, but he's got a cool voice and delivery. Los' first verse is solid. The entire idea of them (being the famous rappers) following the groupies like their number one fans is a very creative idea for a give back to their fans.
9. What’s Good (Prod by Battleroy) - This is a veryyy J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League-esque beat. The orchestra feel mixed with the hype-beast guitars and drums is gorgeous. Los spits a catchy chorus and has some excellent bars. He definitely lives up to the talent of this beat. Favorite Song!!!
10. Shine feat Phil Ade (Prod by Drum Machine)
11. Finally Here feat Twista (Prod by The Loft) - This one leaked sans Twista a little while back. Twista was a nice addition though. Los proves that he's actually got a nice voice along with dope bars on this one. Nice track.
12. All The Way To Church feat Jazze Pha (Prod by Battleroy)
13. Get It feat XV (Prod by Lifted)
14. Make You Proud feat Sean Hayz & DMX (Prod by Reign)
15. Fast Lane feat Ernie Gaines (Prod by Rick Steel)
16. Masterpiece (Prod by Calvo)
17. Never Say Never feat Sean Hayz (Prod by J Oliver)
18. Vintage Rolls Royce Interior (Prod by Drum Machine)
19. Outro feat Sean Hayz (Prod by Reign) - Los spits about his talent over a very relaxed and slow track. Los' punchlines are on pointt here. Sean Hayes songs a muchhh better chorus compared to his previous effort. Great ending to a great mixtape.

So.. Los does indeed live up to the hype. He proves that he deserves to be one of the hottest up and coming emcees. His beat selection is a little iffy, but that should improve as he gets more famous. I wish he had rapped with a little more substance, but he's making bangers so he can catch some attention. Which is respectable. Keep an eye out for Los. He's on the verge of taking the game by a storm.

Juicy J: Blue Dream & Lean


Latest Mixtape from the latest Taylor Gang signee. If you have a dope system or some nice headphones... you're gonna love this. It's all straight partying and going ape shit music.

Wiz agrees with me.. You betta go hard to this shit.

01. Intro
02. Drugged Out [Prod. By Lex Luger & Juicy J] -
Lex laces us with a banger on this one. Juicy talks about how he sells and deals drugs. Although Lex's producition is a little worse on this tape (compared to Rubbaband Business 1 & 2), he's on point here. Dope start to this tape. Favorite Song!!!
03. Juicy J Can’t [Prod. By Sonny Digital]
04. Errbody Wave [Prod. By Juicy J]
05. Riley [Prod. By Lex Luger] - A lot of people are feeling this one. I'd say it's pretty good, but not the best. It's gotta real catchy chorus so maybe that's it. Regardless, Lex Luger (which is really the only reason you'd listen to a Juicy J tape) gives us a half-assed beat and it hurts the song a little bit.
06. Big Bank (Feat. Key) [Prod. By Drumma Boy] - I wouldn't have thought that Drumma Boy & Juicy J to be a great collab. But Juicy's simple lyrics actually fit Drumma's extremely complex beat. Oh and that Key guy is pretty good.
07. Get Higher [Prod. By Lex Luger & Young Ced] - This one reminds me of Rubbaband Business. Except one of the more mediocre songs on it. Juicy J has improved his delivery since then, but Lex has lost his originality. Solid track for the whip.
08. Geeked Up On Them Bars [Prod. By Sonny Digital]
09. Lucky Charm [Prod. By Juicy J & Crazy Mike] - Juicy J's productions are usually a little too slow for me. But he does a hell of a job with those vocal samples. If rapping doesn't work out, Juicy could be quite the producer.
10. Oh Well (Remix) (Feat. 2 Chainz) [Prod. By Lex Luger]
11. Trippy Nation (Interlude)
12. Ain’t Allowed Where I’m From (Feat. Project Pat & Driicky Graham) [Prod. By Young Ced]
13. Got A New One [Prod. By Juicy J & Crazy Mike]
14. She Dancin’ [Prod. By Lex Luger]
15. This Bitch By My Side [Prod. By Lex Luger]
16. Cash (Interlude)
17. You Want Deez Rackz [Prod. By Lex Luger & Sonny Digital] - I like Sonny Digital and I like Lex Luger quite a bit. But I was a little surprised with this one. I woulda thought that Sonny Digital woulda used his skills with synths to work with Lex's talent with the drums. But nope. The song switches up halfway through and lemme tell you... the second half is a lott better than the first half. The second half is more of what I expected from these two producers. And it makes up for the ehhh first half.
18. Zip & A Double Cup (Remix) (Feat. 2 Chainz & Tha Joker) [Prod. By Lex Luger]
19. U Trippy Mane (Feat. Kreayshawn) [Prod. By Key]
20. Gotta Stay Strapped (Feat. Alley Boy & Project Pat) [Prod. By Juicy J]
21. I Don’t Play With Guns (Feat. Alley Boy & Project Pat) [Prod. By Lex Luger]
22. Stoner’s Night 2 (Feat. Wiz Khalifa) [Prod. By Harry Fraud] - Harry Fraud's been gettin' some buzz lately with the success of French Montana's "Shot Caller" single. He puts together an extremely nice smoker track here. The vocal sample is fucking gorgeous. It's a nice change from the rest of the tape. Wiz and Juicy make quite the team. If Harry Fraud starts working with Taylor Gang more.. I will be in heaven.
23. Been Gettin’ Money [Prod. By Sonny Digital]
24. Real Hustler’s Don’t Sleep (Feat. Space Ghost Purp & ASAP Rocky) [Prod. By Big Jerm & ID Labs]
25. Deez Bitches Rollin’ (Feat. Space Ghost Purp & Speakz) [Prod. By Juicy J & Crazy Mike] - Juicy J hits us with another dope beat. The songs got a nice southern feel, especially that chorus. But Spaceghost Purp, who has been catching buzz after his features on the A$AP Rocky mixtape, steals the show here with a nicee double time flow. Keep an eye out for him. He's gonna put out some dope material in the future.
26. Outro
27. Countin’ Faces [Prod. By Drumma Boy]
28. Flood Out The Club (Feat. Casey Veggies] [Prod. By A One]

Juicy gives us exactly what we expected. A tape full of bangers. Don't expect anything ridiculously lyrical. Just dope beats and catchy lyrics.
