How many of ya'll used to slang? Don't front you know you were slangin' something; whether it was weed, guns, t-shirts, CDs, cigarettes, women or cars. We all know what Chuck T is slangin' right? Down South man, he slangin' that down south. You know who else is trying to slang' that down south? A whole lot of NYC mixtape cats and they need to stop! Cats is flip flopping like a presidential canadate who just got a big check in the mail. See the thing is if the South wasn't poppin' like it is and NYC was back ruling the game you know what Chuck T would be slangin'? He would still be slangin' that Down South cause that's what cats are all about. No flip flop, just a genuine love for their regions music and a desire to let cats get heard.

The old boy Trae is hosting so you know he gonna a couple "oh shit" tracks on here. It was Brandon D on the intro tho that set shit on fire with that freestyle. There ain't nothing like a custom made intro freestyle to set off a mixtape. Getting back to Trae tho, "Throwaway" got that energy that cats fiend for. I can't really fuck with Yung Joc too tough but Gorilla Zoe murdered this beat. "Check It Out" with damn near the whole Swisha House on it got me on that feel good music. I'm not really checking out Swisha House on some lyrics but they churn out that feel good music for your ride like its nothing. Plus I ain't heard this track on nothing else either which is a good thing...means cats is getting that exclusive shit. I know cats are fucking with it but "Brown Paper Bag" doesn't really move me...one too many MCs on here if you ask me. Trae bringing that true mixtape music to the table with "Rockin". The flow on the second verse is crazy like cat shit man, Trae is a beast! Don't sleep on Spark Dawg with "Dial Tone", dude can make an anthems with ease. "Take That" was the pefect exit to the CD cause it left you wanting to hear more Trae and that's how it should be mixtape wise helping to build that anticipation.

Why do you think Chuck T is winning right now and all the doubters got put in their place? Consistiency people. Chuck not only drops consistiently good product he's a student of the game. He's got a plan and he's executing it. If you got no plan then you're just dropping mixtape for the hell of it. Chuck has developed a couple key mixtape concepts/series that not only continue to push his name but the names of others in his region that need to be heard. That right there people is called Down South Slangin'. (6/11/07)
