[skitzo]

01 - Play Your Cards Right (Intro) 8/10 - liking the beat on this
02 - Better Dayz 7/10 - not bad
03- Million Dollar Spot 9/10 - really nice beat on this one, can't go wrong with g-funk, sounds like something Pac would of actually rapped to
04 - Hit Em Up 6/10 - the quality is bad on this one, liking the use of the demo vocals
05 - How Do You Want It (Jazz Version) 10/10 - really nice mix here, love it, a keeper
06 - Smile 4 Me 10/10 - such a great beat, this is a keeper!
07 - Got 2 Survive 9/10 - a nice old school beat
08 - When Thugz Cry 10/10 - og is better but this is deff better than the retail, this brings a different vibe to the song, very nice beat, a keeper!
11 - Komradz 8/10 - a decent beat, it'd say this does a better job than what Amaru did with the same beat, the little differences make it better
12 - Old School 7/10 - not a bad beat but nothing i'd call great
13 - Changed Man 10/10 - really loving this beat! a keeper!
14 - Let Them Thangs Go 9/10 - a nice sample of a great beat, could imagine Pac actually using this
15 - When We Ride On Our Enemies 9/10 - a funky mix of a great beat
16 - Street Fame 9/10 - really dramatic beat on this one, full of energy
17 - Niggaz Nature 10/10 - a keeper! what else is there to say? everything is great about this
18 - Bonus Song - Dont U Trust Me 10/10 - always been a fan of this beat
09 - Po Nigga Blues 8/10 - not great but not bad
10 - Hold On, Be Strong 9/10 - can't go wrong with a beat sampling Phil Collins, i've heard better use of it tho, still a great mix
19 - Bonus Song - Soulja Story 10/10 - liking this a lot, a keeper!

I know the track order is messed up on this review. It's how they loaded into Winamp. This is one of the best mixtapes I've ever heard.
