Eminem, Jay-z, Dr Dre, 50 cent, Stat Quo, and Ca$his- Syllables


OH MY GOODNESS. (I don't like typin the acronym for that. It makes me feel like a teenage girl). Em, Dr. Dre, Mr. Illuminati, 50, Stat Quo, and Ca$his? Wow. Lmao at Em's fake hook. Even 50 did work and he's not great in my opinion. Sounded more like old 50 =) I'm not very familiar with Ca$his I've only heard him on like one song but his verse was dope. Pretty much everyone impressed me on this track.

Eminem feat. Jazmine Sullivan- Cocaine


Say what you will about Em but his skills are amazing. This song reminds me a lot of "careful what you wish for" but with a pretty voice added.

Wale feat. Yung Joc-911


Not a Yung Joc fan. Good thing he didn't spit. Wale would have killed him. But somethin bout this song makes me like it. Probably Wale's flow. The hook ain't bad either. Beat is ehh.

Cyhi you're lucky I already thought you were a good rapper


Okay let me start by saying I had never heard a Cyhi solo song before this mixtape. I kinda expected him to try harder on his own stuff than he would somebody else's. I was wrong. Kinda. His best verses are still on Kanye's songs (Take one for the team and so appalled) and even impressed me on B.o.B.'s "higher". But anyway he started off alright then there is a stretch of songs that just are a waste of time. You might as well skip "Record us" and "Switchin positions". The two before that aren't great either. Then there is sort of a transition and he gets to "like a swinger" which I liked. And it basically just gets better from there. So it starts out pretty good, then goes to really bad, then goes to great at the end. As I told my friend, it looks like he saved the best tracks for last. a risky move because if i didn't like him already i never woulda got to the really good songs. But yes, if you haven't heard him before, try listenin to stuff he's featured on to get your confidence in him up. haha. Overall I think it's a pretty good mixtape though because there are more good songs than sucky ones. And I still say Cyhi is dope as an artist so don't get that confused

Maybe I should change the name from One Step Closer


I've recently noticed that listening to Linkin Park doesn't help me the way it used to. I have a playlist especially for when I am really angry and it's titled "one step closer" after one of their songs. I tried listening to their music and the songs didn't have much of an effect. Then I got to the Three Days Grace part of the playlist. =) These songs do for me what Linkin Park songs used to. And that is get me through my anger. Which is very important as I was just talking to a good friend of mine telling her that listening to music is a good way to deal with anger or other bad feelings. How bad would it be if after saying this it stopped working for me? Well, I'm glad my favorite band is there when my previous favorite band failed me. No disrespect to Linkin Park I still like their music. Maybe one of those Three Days Grace songs should be the namesake.
