The mixtape begins with a frog-like 
Lil Wayne speaking on the first track about him and Buck settling their dispute
mano-a- mano and them not having a problem.
Blah blah blah. Let's get into the rapping.
"War Witcha Homeboy" is a prime example of what Buck has been up to for all this time. The background reminds me of a Three 6 Mafia song, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Good sample and you can tell the energy is still there.
The next track is "I'll Be Back". What does he mean? HE NEVER LEFT!! "I made my mind up before I gotta record deal/ you can make fake money, but respect is real." Enough said.
"New York City" is the the best track on the entire mixtape. I will tell you that RIGHT now. This song immediately begins comparing himself to the NYC's finest (Except for Diddy... but it rhyme s with Biggie, so whatever). "Never met Big L or Big Pun/ we only got big dreams where a nigga come from." What's more realer than THAT? Coming from the dirty dirty I understand how important it is to pay respect to the birthplace of hip-hop and those who paved the way for Southern rappers. Did I mention the Phil Collins sample? Same used on 2pac's "Starin' At The World Through my Rearview", but of course Buck shouts him out in the song. HEART AND SOUL OF NEW YORK CITY!!
No offense to Young Buck... but the rest of the tape is downhill from a heart stopper like the last track. Now onto "5-0" the song is pretty slow and a monologue about crooked cops. Not really worthy of recognition. "I Ain't Fuckin' Wit U" is just an alternate verse from another song, and even though Snoop is the man, the song ain't really my style. "I ain't finna argue/ I don't even know you my nigga, WHO ARE YOU?"
"I don't care" is a song that I don't care for either. "Feel lights" is a rap on a Carter 2 instrumental (Feel Me), I don't really like it though. "Gone in the Morning" is some R&B radio type shit that I definitely am NOT feeling. "Respect the Shooter" features many G-unit artists and it's that kind of grimy get down and shoot a nigga type shit.There are little Fat Boys references with the "Brrrr Stick Em, hahaha Stick em." It's ok.
"Put me in the game" is about haters and those that owe him to pay up. Pretty good song. It's definitely worth listening to."Throw Your Hoods Up" is kinda weak though. That one is about representing a your gang sets, but how many times have we heard that? "Mr Ten a Key" is on that Boyz N Da Hood beat... Everybody Know Me. Bring on the GRIMY. "That's why I don't roll wit y'all/you thinkin TOO small/I'm thinking speedboats, airplanes, and U-hauls." OUCH.
I have only touched down on the first 14 tracks, but there are 14 more. Check the entire mixtape out right here:
