Gonna bump it shortly

1. Intro - Beat is hot. Rain spits great on it (as usual anyways). - 4.75/5
2. How U Want It - Not really feeling the up tempo feel to this. Rain is at his best on the slower beats normally. The rapping on here still tough though. - 3.75/5
3. Shoot You Down - Cool sample. Same problem I have with the production. - 4/5
4. Fire Burn - It's alright. - 3.75/5
5. Here We Go Again Ft. Krillz, Lo Keys, Traffic - Average once again. - 3.25/5
6. Gettin' It In - Cool summer time beat/hook feel to it. 4/5
7. Rock On - Not bad. - 4/5
to be cont...

Ive come to a conclusion on Rain. He is a really good lyricist and story teller BUT he needs to step his flow up and his production game up. I know he aims for mostly laid back tracks and mellow beats but theres to much of that on his mixtapes. I like him though, just think theres really good potential for him to step it up!!!

the funny thing is I posted the mixtape way before you....but nobody replied lol...and only 15 views.. i feel bad for the dude, he's really talented and that Nottz track is still in rotation for me

8. Toast to Life - Rain sounds good on this. That smooth shit. - 4.5/5
9. Lady in a Red Dress - THIS what I'm talking about. Story telling at it's finest. - 5/5
10. Ride - Smooth once again. A lot of these types of joints on this project. This one of the better ones though. - 4.25/5
11. Snow Ft. Big Cas - It's ok. - 3.75/5
12. So Soon We Change - Nottz on the boards. This is classic Hip-Hop. - 5/5
13. It's Alright - 4.5/5
14. Buried With a Secret Ft. K.P. - That classic Rain story telling shit. - 5/5
Overall, 3 classic Rain tracks imo. Maybe the rest will grow on me..the first one did..

The second half of the tape is better then the first.
I need a no dj because the volume is too high on this tape.
