MIXTAPE REVIEW: [HEAVY WEIGHS THE CROWN] TROY CEASAR x DJ CAPCOM

POINTS: 116/140

01. (INTRO) "AS I WAS SAYIN" 10PTS. THIS SKIT / INTRO IS F'N HELL'ARIOUS AND IT SETS THE TONE FOR THE MIXTAPE IN A WEIRD SORTA WAY... THIS IS ONE SKIT NO ONE WILL SKIP!

02. "SKIP A INTRODUCTION" 8PTS. TROY CEASAR USES PUNCHLINES & ONE LINERS THAT ARE TIMELESS & CLASSIC!

03. "WORLD TO SEE" 10PTS. THIS SONG IS A PURE HIIIIT! CEASAR USES A DIFFERENT STYLE ON THIS SONG... I LOVE THE BEAT & THE CHORUS  KILLS EVERT YTHING!

04. "I DO IT" 8PTS. EASILY THE MOST SERIOUS SONG ON THE MIXTAPE, TROY CEASAR WORDPLAY IS CINEMATIC! U CAN ALMOST SEE IT! + THE ENDING OF THIS SONG IS HELL'ARIOUS!

05. "WORKING" 6PTS. MY FEELING FOR THIS SONG GOES UP & DOWN... ONE DAY I LOVE IT... THE NEXT I HATED! THE BEAT IS KINDA CORNY BUT THE ARTIST DO A GREAT OB OF HOLDING MY ATTENTION!

06. "I JUST WANT THE MONEY" 10PTS. THIS SONG WAS THE 1ST SONG RELEASED OFF THE MIXTAPE FOR GOOD REASON, THIS WOULD BE A DEFINITE HIT SINGLE WITH ANOTHER VERSE ADDED! (IT WAS RUMORED THAT A REMIX WAS BEING WORKED ON) EITHER WAY... I LOVE THIS JOINT CEASAR TOOK A HOT LINE AND MADE IT A HOT SONG. HE CREATED A DELIVERY & STYLE THAT HAS NEVER USED BY ANY ARTIST!

07. "WHO U CAME TO SEE" FT. GANG GREEN 7PTS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS SONG PERFORMED LIVE. GANG GREEN DOES A NICE JOB ON THE CHORUS & THEY HOLD THEIR OWN WEIGHT ON THIS JOINT (I LOVE THE ENGINEER WORK ON THIS TRACK ALSO)

08. "POWERBALL" FT. LAST LAUGH RED, BUB BENTLEY BILLIONAIR, RANRU 10PTS. EASILY ONE OF THE HARDEST JOINT ON THE MIXTAPE... I LISTENED TO THIS JOINT OVER & OVER TRYNA DETERMINE WHO HAD THE HOTTEST VERSE. HONESTLY I GOTTA GIVE IT TO BUB BENTLEY BILLIONAIR HIS PUNCH LINES WERE AMAZING EVERY LINE COMPLIMENTED THE NEXT! TROY CEASAR VERSE WAS LEFT FIELD... U NEVER KNOW WHAT STYLE HIS GONNA PULL OUT HIS BAG. THE BEAT KEPT ME INTERESTED THIS JOINT IS A HIT!

09. "SHE WANNA GO" FT JOEY B. 8PTS. DJ CAPCOM SLOWS IT DOWN... AND DROPS SOMETHING FOR THE LADIES! JOEY B. ARGUABLY THE MOST ACTIVE R&B SINGER IN GUNRULE DOES A WONDERFUL JOB ENHANCING THIS JOINT. THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF "I NEED LOVE" BY LL COOL J (LOL) 2011 VERSION.

10. "THE CITY'S MY CLOSET" 10PTS. THIS JOINT WAS ENGINEERED, PRODUCED, WRITTEN & RECORDED BY TROY CEASAR. LYRICALLY HE PAINTS A PICTURE, LISTENING TO THIS SONG JUST MAKES YOU WANNA GO SHOPPING! (ANOTHER HIT)

11. "WOOD BOTTOM SOLES" 5PTS. THIS JOINT FOR THE "CHURCH SHOE ROCKIN CROWD" (LOL) CEASAR TAKES A SHOT AT AIR FORCE ONES & FLOSS HARD ON THE YOUNG GENERATION... SCHOOLING THEM ON ITALIAN FOOTWEAR OVER A LAID BACK WARREN G'ISH BEAT!

12. "THE SPOTLIGHT" 8PTS. ON THIS TRK CEASAR GOES IN... NO PUNCHES HELD I LIKE TO THINK OF THIS JOINT AS THE "F#%K YOU" SONG!

13. "HATE TO LOVE" 6PTS. ON THIS TRK CEASAR SHOWS THE PPL HIS STORY TELLING SKILLS!

14. "SLIP AWAY" 10PTS. THIS IS JOINT THE HARDEST JOINT ON THE MIXTAPE... I GUESS CAPCOM DECIDED TO SAVE THE BEST FOR THE LAST! THIS STYLE IS RAW UNCUT HIP HOP... NO EGO INVOLVED JUST HARD BARS OVER HEAVY DRUMS!

THE EDITOR RUNDOWN:
AFTER DROPPING "CEASAR'S PALACE" & "HAIL CEASAR" TROY CEASAR IS BACK WITH HIS BEST WORK TO DATE. THIS MIXTAPE IS WELL PUT TOGETHER FROM START TO FINISH. [HEAVY WEIGHS THE CROWN] HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE MUSICALLY & LYRICALLY.  THERE IS LITTLE TO NO PROFANITY USED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE MIXTAPE. HATS OFF TO TROY CEASAR THIS MIXTAPE WAS EVERYTHING HE SAID IT WOULD BE, IT WAS HARD TO FIND SOMETHING WRONG OR OUT OF PLACE ON THIS PROJECT... WELL DONE!
