Did you hear 50 Cent in his latest video interview? He said music is in a funny place right now and it’s true. Mixtapes not so much but it’s def not like it used to be. Enter Dub Floyd and VOS. Dub Floyd’s tag line is mixtapes new nightmare but he’s really mixtapes savior right now. How many DJs you know been put in the work this year with as many QUALITY mixtapes as he’s dropped? He may not move units like these DJs on their pause and play shit but we all know who the better mixtape DJ is. VOS has steadily been doing their thing. They don’t get a lot of credit for the blends they push but the skill and ear is there.

Cat’s def zzzzzz on the T.O.S album. There’s quality music on there! Thing is these thisis50.com fans expect shit to be free. 50 Cent is in a good spot regardless don’t let low G Unit album #’s fool you. Is the mixtape better than the album? HELL YEA IT IS! That’s the norm people, get used to it.

If “You so Tough” doesn’t make you want to crawl through the hood looking for marks I don’t know what will. It wouldn’t be proper to not mention the “South Side Ni99az” Screamixx. That is how you bring back a classic beat and make shit sound brand new. VOS absolutely laced the “Young Ni99a From The ol’ School”. That shit was a production in and of itself…and cats still found time to cut the shit up. I fucking with this! The skills continued on “The Original Don Dada”…VOS flipping the potent hooks like crazy while keeping the beats classic; you gotta appreciate that and cutting the track up at the end was Ron G-esque like a mutha fucka. I still to this day have to rewind “On Some Shit” at least twice. That track is solid concrete in the middle of a crack spot. When you’re doing a blend and in need of beat, you can always “Shadow Boxing” that shit out! “Warrior” works with that beat too. I’m not mad at it, lol.

This is the only mixtape you need on some G Unit shit. Forget Whoo Kid and his eight new tracks. Let me sum this shit up for you then you can go cop this. Here it go: New shit, classic tracks, blends, beat matched transitions, perfect timing, drops used properly = one street certified mixtape. Dub Floyd and VOS got you cats marked for death. (8/2/08)
