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.

Blue Dream & Lean
