    Review: Tired Of The Extras by DJ Luicidal



    1. Hard Act To Follow
    The sample on this one is really dope, comes in hard yet creates an errie feel to it as well. I think this track is a hard ass track, you are rapping hella aggressive sounds really good that way. I could hear this on the radio or just a straight up album cut. This track is legit front to back. I'd be down to spin it.

    2. This Time
    Right away we notice the Scarface sample. This was also used by Nas and Mobb Deep for "It's Mine" and also by Louie Loco and Yukmouth for their version of "It's Mine". Therefore the beat is a little tired. Your vocals fit nicely over the beat tho. I would have liked it if you flipped the beat a little different, then spit the same verses over it. This track would be good for a mixtape. The chorus is my favorite part, really catchy.

    3. Fast Forward
    I think you sent me this track before. Either that or the sound is very welcoming. I immediately start grooving to it. Hella smooth but still on that gangsta tip. If I were to choose a single this would be the one. But like I said before Jacka and Berner used the sample on Cold Blood. But in this situation I think it's okay cuz your shit sounds different from it.

    4. My Everything
    I would pick this song as the follow up single. This would be the one to get the girls. The beginning is hella dope with the sample droppin, i was caught a little off guard with the fast drums clickin at first, but after a while my ear got used to it. Kinda reminds me of some old school shit, but it also fits in with the elctro type sound thats popular right now. Plus the chorus is reminiscent of that Kelly Rowland and Nelly joint, the bitches LOVE that song. lol

    5. Behind The Wheel
    This track i totally remember from when you sent it to me back in the day. Like I said, overall it is a hella deep track. Very well put together and complete creatively as well as lyrically. It is way too deep for the radio but this joint should make your official album.

    6. Be Different
    This beat is very different. I was waiting for it to drop, I wasn't sure if it was a dance track or head knocker. I think your flow is hella on point on this and fast. The scratches are dope. The beat sounds uncomplete to me and kind of anti-climantic. So I wasn't feeling it that much.

    7. Problems
    This beat was hella cool, very different from the rest, I'm diggin the sample. Sounds almost arabic. I'm diggin what you sayin in it, easy to relate to. But what got me the most was the beat. Shits bangs, plus a nice chorus. I wouldn't say this would be a single, but definietely a track that will catch and keep the listeners attention on the album.

    Overall I think its a good EP man, if this is a preview of whats to come from your full length LP, then you on the right path. As for radio play, I would pick Fast Forward or My Everything.

    REVIEW: Official Street Remixes




    Big up to Big Koz for reviewing our mixtape and it will be posted here soon:
    http://movie-music-videogame-reviews.blogspot.com/

    I havnt heard much from DJ JG or DJ Blaze but they do a good job here on this mixtape, same goes for the rapping aswell. Errelevent and Trey C I have enjoyed in the past and they rep on here, as do the other rappers.

    The first song is On The Grind and is cool but not the best way to start the mixtape off. The rappers rock the beat well enough as far as lyrics go, but the flow could be a little better.

    Rockin That Thang is a dope track that women can bump aswell as the playas. Im not a huge fan of these types of songs usually, but this is done well and enjoyable.

    Best I Ever Had is another good track as Errelent and Nesra do a great job over another club/radio type of track. Once again its another song that both a dude or a beezy can listen to. I usually dont like the whole Auto-tune but the rappers on here do a great job and its great to hear Errelevent
    showing his versatility doing a club track.

    Throw It In The Bag has Nesra and MDash doing they thang over another club radio friendly beat.

    Magnificent is one of the better tracks on the album as Errelevent and Nesra once again do a good job and show that they have some great charizma together. It would be nice to hear an album or mixtape maybe with just these two dudes. Both rappers do the damn thang with lyrics and they flow, dope track!

    She Is Back is not as dope as the last few tracks, as the track sounds a little forced and not as natural as some of the other tracks.

    Right Like That is another track for the ladies but is more fast paced and it works very well. Like I said before im more of person who loves Mob music, jazz, reggae and blues music, but I can appreciate other stuff aswell. Probably the 2nd best track on the album right here as KDinero and Nesra do a nice job on the mic.


    Halo goes hard and is solid the whole way thru and Mista Cane, Kap10 and Nesra sound comfortable together and over the beat.

    Knock Me Down finishes the mixtape off and isnt bad, but doenst make me want to put it on repeat again either.

    Overall this is a very solid mixtape that is more geared towards the ladies and the clubs, but I cant hate at all, these dudes went out and did the damn thang as far as club songs and songs for the women out there go. As 2pac said, you gotta have some stuff for the ladies out there aswell as the gangster shit and this mixtape shows these dudes can rock more then just complex lyrics or hood shit. Also one more thing, the recording quality and mixing is very well done for a mixtape, good shit.

    If you get a chance check this mixtape out! Especially if you are looking for a cd to play while at a party or some ladies are over!

    SCORE = 7/10
