track 4--hit em up--to be honest, fuckin awsome...the ending is dope...

track 5--how do u want it--very different..but very tasteful...love the chorus...very jzzy...only drawback 4 me wud be that the naughtiness is kinda missing compared to the retail.but still dope..made me shed a tear on his 2nd verse...not bad without scarface...lol

track 7--got to survive--so old skool...really chilled out..well done...

track 8--when thugs cry--well done better than the retail n og for me...rythem n beat goes well with the overall meaning of the song..

ad how do u want it and smile all day....hooked like crack

[JackV]

Here ya go LV, its not fully done. Im certain that I will bump this tape again before I sleep tonight so then I might fill in the rest. I just keep getting drifted off making this review!

Play Your Cards Right (Intro)
I like it, on-key and flows well. No problems.

Better Dayz
So emotional, flawlessly excellent mix. Can work for a original, personally I prefer it to the retail definately. A keeper nailed down!

Million Dollar Spot
So gangster and funky, a straight banger for cruising times! A keeper for sure.

Hit Em Up
Hit Em Up 2 perfected, sick remake if the beat too. Not any flaws on this either.

How Do You Want It Jazz
Love it, flows wonderfully, like I said in YouTube, the chorus feels a lil too old-school. Like a transition from the 90's to 80's which makes it a little bit odd. But I love it still.

Smile 4 Me
Works very well like a original track. Really good work on this one.

Got 2 Survivw
Speechless... perfect combination here, such a fucked up CPU mixed so well. Banger too, so sublime. Another keeper!

When Thugz Cry
Shiit, Im running out of words to say how good it is lol. Its emotional and it just keeps you on your feet, just how 2Pac would love it. If only the acapella could be better. Would be perfect then.

Po Nigga Blues
Im in love with the beat, the song sounds so familiar, wondering what it was. The acapella flows flawlessly with the beat. Definately another keeper.

Retail SUCKS

Erm I thought you used the one I heard (full version) cuz the one i heard was good but the drums will always show unless the beats drum was similiar lol can you share the acapella or are you not allowed?

My cpu dont have drums.

Nearly all the cpus i used on this mixtape were made for it. And are never used before.The Only one is play your cards right.

Sorry i dont/cant share them.

[JackV]

Hold On
I love the use of the sample and the bassy drums!

Komradz
The beat completely fullfils the personality of the acapella. Great mix here.

Old School
Very old school indeed, love the scratches in the hook. Love this mix.

Changed man
Does Dj Nas give you these hot CPU's? Shit!! Anyway the mix works great and the hook is fire. Another keeper.

Let Them Thangs Go
Don't feel this one alot, I liked how you managed to fit it in the beat because the acapellas pretty complicated.

When We Ride
Like the twists in the O.G beat. Not something I'd listen to much though, Imo its a very bland song in general (the o.g). Good mixing nonetheless.

Street Fame
I love it so far through my headphones. Im taking it to the car tommorow because I have pretty good subwoofers in them. One thing I love in music is sexy deep bass, which this has. Indeed a keeper!

Niggaz Nature
Prefer it to the original, its so laid back and just suits the acapella. Something to contemplate to for sure.

And that's it I guess DJ LV is a dope ass mixer!

[L-Booma]

Thanks alot for the review man. The cpus are not made by dj na$, but by mr.mind, I wrote it in the first post. Nikola made them even sound a bit better with his mastering.
