This is the mixtape series of the year people. You had better recognize that shit and stop frontin' like Diggz and Rated R didn't lap some of your favorite mixtape DJs this year. Cats who USED to get exclusives are watching from the sidelines like "damn, I fucked up". Cats could get a stuttering, retarded, no armed midget to host this mixtape and the shit would still be fire. You know why that is? Cause it's all about the music and not about the "names".

Prodigy going to jail is a good thing for him musically. I hate to say it but that pressure will bring the best out of him lyrically and it will also help to keep his name poppin' while he's gone. "A.B.C's" is my joint. They pump this in the weed spot heavy...like 15 fat chic’s at an all night Sizzler buffet. Sid Roams laced the beat too; its that crawling thru the hood music. Big Twin spit acid on "Raised Ya'll", the illest voice in hip hop right there...sound like he smokes cartons of cigarettes a day and shit. Un Pacino sliding thru with some mixtape music for "Get Down", I can dig it. Prodigy and Slick Rick on a track is different but it works. "The Finest" is smooth, Prodigy on that thug ya mother shit. It's always good to hear some new Snyp Life music, he's riding with Styles P on "Creep Slow"...Joey Bags on the beat. Prodigy getting deep on "My World Is Empty"...I'm telling you man, shit is bringing out the best is him. He said "fuck Christopher Columbus" too...classic. "Paisley Darts" is that crazy Wu posse cut. Method Man's verse was shinning like a mutha fucka. He's not longer a sleeper MC people...St. Laz swinging elbows on "Underground King" like he's Kimbo Slice.

I just wanna send a shout to Diggz real quick for staying on course and doing what he loves and not what sells. It's not easy to say fuck it like that but in the end it's what separated him and Rated R from the pack and created their own lane. Props. (12/18/07)
