E.S.G. vs Slim Thug


1.) Intro (E.S.G.)
The beat is dope, it's the one in the next track. E.S.G. exposing Slim Thug as a backstabbing bitch, basically running down everything that happened to get us up to speed.

2.) Alphabet Murderer (Slim Thug Diss) (E.S.G.)
Nice beat, good chorus, and E.S.G. straight ripping Slim a new one. Running through the alphabet as he lays into Slim it's quite the track, probably the best diss on this album.

3.) Like a Boss (Blend) (Slim Thug)
Beats alright, nothing special, and it's just his "Like A Boss" track in some gay ass blend. Chorus is annoying, his flow is annoying, just a shitty track.

4.) 60 Bars (E.S.G.)
It's over 2Pac's "Ambitions Az A Ridah" beat so it's hot. Dope lyrics, flow, rhymes, it's a hot track.

5.) Freestyle (Lil Flip and E.S.G. Diss) (Slim Thug)
DJ shout outs run rampant at the beginning, a bad start. It's a chopped and screwed track. There's maybe like four lines that are actual "disses" the rest is vague and random. Not a good track.

6.) Freestyle (Squad Up Diss) (Slim Thug)
Again, gay ass DJ shit. Another screwed track, a better diss then the last track. It's alright but Slim isn't very lyrical, and he's a weak disser.

7.) Freestyle (E.S.G.)
Missy Elliot beat, I don't know what song because I don't listen to here. Anyways it's a smooth, mellow track. It's not terrible but seems out of place on this album.

8.) Freestyle (No Problems Beat) (Slim Thug and Judge Dredd)
Dredd completely outshines Slim, not like that's hard. Both are incredibly bland and run of the mill, nothing ground breaking. Average track.

9.) Fuck With Me (E.S.G. Featuring Carmen Sandiego and Brandon)
The beats pretty plain, and it starts out really slow and draggy but picks up and become pretty dope, all three of them rip it. The chorus is annoying but it's alright.

10.) Freestyle (Juicy Beat) (Slim Thug and Killa Kyleon)
I don't like the beat, never have, but they're both terrible on it. Bad beat+bad verses=bad song.

11.) Freestyle (Lalala Beat) (Slim Thug and Killa Kyleon)
Ugh the beat is annoying as hell and Kyleon completely disappoints. Slim is a little better but his verse is ass too. Another skipper.

12.) Freestyle (Like a Boss Beat) (E.S.G. Featuring Carmen Sandiego and Brandon)
This one is pretty blah. The last verse has a dope flow but other then that there was nothing standout on it.

13.) Freestyle (Frontin' Beat) (Slim Thug and Killa Kyleon)
Slims verse is alright it's a decent story. Kyleon on the other hand can't ride a beat for the life of him and it drowns his monotone voice out completely.

14.) Get Ya Grind On (Drop it Like it's Hot Beat) (E.S.G. Featuring Carmen Sandiego and Brandon)
Well the chorus is better then the original one, not like that's hard to do. Carmen is dope on this track, and I don't like female MC's. It's worth it just for her part.

15.) Already Platinum (Slim Thug Feat. Pharell)
Annoying DJ shout outs...again. I don't know why they wouldn't have used the normal version from his album. It's screwed and chopped so it sounds better than the regular version, but the beat is annoying and I hate Pharell he's garbage. Listen the Slim then skip it.

16.) Freestyle (E.S.G. and DJ Screw)
This ones a dope track. Verse part goes hard and then it switches to smooth and mellow. A nice track.

17.) Wood Wheel (Slim Thug and Sir Daily)
Chorus is annoying as hell. Both verses trash, beat is alright but fruityloopish.

18.) Freestyle (Slim Thug)
Short and average. Nothing special about it, just Slim doing what he always does rapping about nothing.

19.) Freestyle (Slim Thug)
The beats probably one of the better ones on here, just remember what type of artist this beat is for so it's not going to be like Dilla standard. Tracks alright but once again no stand out lyrics, flows alright, nothing else.

20.) Freestyle (Slim Thug)
Nicer verse by Slim with a sped of flow instead of his usual slow drawl. He matches the beat good and rides it perfectly.

21.) Freestyle (Slim Thug)
He finally starts riding his beats better, with better verses. His flow is better then usual too.

22.) Freestyle (Slim Thug)
Love the beat, it's a really mellow beat that you just have to like. A massively screwed track (eg. really slow) with a few chops. Slim matches the beat good although it's hard to pay attention to him because you're drawn to the beat.

23.) Freestyle (P.I.M.P. Beat) (Slim Thug and Killa Kyleon)
Kyleon completely outshines Slim, his flow is much stronger, he makes you listen to him. Good track, good beat, nice.

24.) City on Lock Down (Slim Thug and E.S.G.)
A track from before all the B.S. with both of them on it. The beat is good, but often it's louder then Slim and covers him. Slim and E.S.G. compliment each other good though, and it's a nice track.


Overall

Most of Slims songs have Killa Kyleon on them, he's like the Yayo (with more skills) to Slims 50. Only a few tracks are actual diss song (and some of those aren't even dissing the right person) but they're worth checking.

There's only about 7ish song that are worth checking, the rest of duds. The actual diss tracks are good but the filler could go and this could have been made into a dope EP instead of a dud full mixtape.

5/10
