Its a few people declaring war, just an intro
2. Smoke A Lot
Some dude reporting some funny news, funny skit.
3. Here We Come – Poppa LQ, Yukmouth, Gonzoe
Great song to kick it off with my favourite track of the mixtape!!! The beat is simple the strings and the hardhitting bassline fit right along with a sick hook! The female/echovoice saying “REGIME MOB, HERE WE COME” is what makes this hook so tight. They all came tight as ***** on their verses too, what can i say this is just a certified banger!! 10/10
4. Blast 1st – Messy marv, Eastwood, Yukmouth, Gonzoe, Tha realest, Mac minister, Poppa lq
I like the beat on this one its a real war/hardhittin/soldiers marchin type of beat, really gets you hyped up for the verses. Its a tight line up of artists and everybody comes tight for this one, no weak verses on this song, no average verses either nuthing but heat! Yuk has the tightest flow of all on this one, i gotta say it again everyone comes very very tight on this track, but imo gonzoe has the best verse on this track. The hook done by Tha realest is just basically the same hook as the infamous “bomb first” song by pac and the lawz. I dont really like how tha realest trying to sound exactly like pac on the hook but…. hey i guess thats why they got him to do the hook. Mac minister dont rap he just speaking a few words at the end of the song. Yess another certified banger!! 10/10
5. Go Hard Or Go Home – Gonzoe feat. Dirt Left
This is Gonzoe’s disstrack to the game. And its tight as ***** the hook is on point the lyrics are on point ( “you from compton, but sound like new york. nigga thats like farrakhan eating pork”) Basically Gonzoe letting Game know he aint afraid and he ready to bring it, dont know who Dirt left is but he spits a coo verse nothing special tho. Hard disstrack another track that shows gonzoe is not to be slept on!. 9/10
6. 100 gunz – Yukmouth, Monsta Ganjah, Poppa LQ
This is obviously a remake of Ja Rule’s “New York” only with a westcoast twist reppin oakland, longbeach and south central LA. All three spit fire on the mic, but the regime general takes this one spitting a great verse! Ganjah spitting some crazy shit too and everytime i hear poppa lq i get fascinated by this dudes talent more and more, he has a great rapvoice and a very nice flow. This is a good remake even tho the hooks could be a lil better, they tight but they just sounded like they were too much of beat on the hook. 8/10
7. ***** u know i get it crunk – Lil Flip feat. Yukmouth
A nice laidback beat but the hook is a lil annoying cuz he repeats the same line over and over! Flips has the first and 3rd verse and he spit some nice verses dissing T.I. nothing too special tho. I always tought flip was an average mc and he has yet to prove me wrong. Yuk on the other hand does what he do best spit fire! This same track is also featured on a gang of southern and westcoast mixtapes and also on the “Kings of the south” album by flip and z-ro. The only difference is that on the “kings of the south” album they added a 4th verse by z-ro on too it. Basically a nice laidback southern type of track. 7/10
8. Im bigger then that – Poppa LQ
This obviously a poppa lq solo track, poppa lqs lyrics are on point but to be honest i dont really like the beat the hook is tight and clever but the beat just missing something if you ask me. Basically to wrap it up i would say poppa lq is bigger then this beat! But never the less poppa lq spitting tight lyrics so its all good. 7/10
9. Okay – Yukmouth, Monstah Ganjah, Yung Skrilla, Baby Jon
This a remake of the youngbloods “damn” and to be honest I didnt really like the concept of Yuk and crunk at first, but this song sounds pretty damn good! I been told Baby Jon is someone from germany but dude sounds just like lil Jon! Anyway he does the hook with yuk and makes it sound like a real lil jon hook. I gotta say i like this hook better then the original youngbloods hook. Yuk spits the best verse of the track, but ganjah and skrilla spitting some heat too. I never tought yuk would sound good on a crunk beat but this a BANGER!!! 10/10
10. Niggaz Tryna Ride On Me – Yukmouth, E-Blak, Poppa LQ, Monstah ganjah, Linole da wino
This is a remake of Young Buck’s “Shorty wanna ride with me”. Yuk dissing p on this one replying on p’s comments in murderdog and a recent subliminal diss song from TRU. E-blak does the hook and Monstah Ganjah and LQ spit tight verses as ussual. And linole da wino aka yuk talking at the end. 8.5/10
11. We dont stop – Gonzoe feat. Kurupt
Another one of my favourite songs of the mixtape its a lil out of place cuz its real laidback but i just love the southern cali/mexican type of beat. The hook is tight on some cool shit, and gonzoe spitting some hot shit again “You heard bo, nigga we take no ransom, we in the club gangbangin you in the club dancing”. Gotti also spitting a decent verse its still not the old kurupt but its an improvement from the kurupt everybody has been complaining about. I *****ing love this song. 10/10
12. Keep it thuggin – Yukmouth, Poppa LQ, Linole Da Wino
Hell yeah!! Another banger!! This beat sounds familiar to me i dont know if its a remake tho and if it is i dont kno from what song it is, anyway its a tight beat and yuk delivering a tight hook too. Poppa lq sending a lil message to game and imo he outshines yuk with his verse on this one. Anyway its a lil short cuz they both only spit one verse, linole da wino talking at the end. I would give it a 10/10, but just cuz its only 2 verses instead of 3 ill give it a 9/10, HOTSHIT tho. 9/10
13. Its Crucial – Yung Skrilla, Keak da Sneak, Bart
Very tight song! Nice laidback beat and i like the hook alot. Skrilla kicks it off with a nice verse i like dudes flow. I would say bart has the best verse he sends a lil warning towards game too , i also think Bart is underrated as *****, keak ends it with a good verse. Cant really say more about this track. Good laidback track. 10/10
14. World War 3 – Yukmouth
BANGER!!! Some dude from Sqad up (Lil Wayne’s old crew, Yung Skrilla’s click) begins this track off talking, just basically shouting out yuk and repping the regime click. This a str8 up all out war disstrack it has a simple beat but a nice hook tho. Yuk sending shots at The game, 50, P, the frontline and yess the afroman gets it too LOL. This track shows yuk can spit with the best of them and if you disagree then…………………………………………………………………………………………………..Thats just your opinion. Yepp another BANGER! 10/10
15. Bleed the block – Ampachino feat. Chino Nino
This is one of my favourites too, ampachino has a weird voice but you will get used to it after listening to him some more. Just listen to this track and tell me this dude dont have lyrics! Chino nino does the hook and does a good job. 10/10
16. Turn it up – Poppa LQ
This is another poppa LQ solo and i must say i liked the other lq solo more. Im not really feeling the hook on this one, they should just let the girls part be the hook, cuz im not feeling lqs part of the hook it just doesnt fit with the girl, but yet again lq spits heat, but like i said the hook ruins this track. 6.5/10
17. Regime Symphony – Yukmouth, Dru Down, Poppa LQ, Doracel, Yung Skrilla, Gonzoe
The beat is a lil funny its ok but it dont really fit the track imo. I like the concept tho, how they introduce everyone on the mic. Everybody comes tight but gonzoe has the tighest verse. Still a very tight track simply cuz everyone comes very correct on the mic. 9/10
18. Respect My Gangsta – Domination, Yukmouth, Marc Shyst.
This is another very tight cut, i love this beat! We all know domo can spit that heat, he delivers a tight verse and hook. Yuk spits a nice verse too not his best but an average yuk verse is still better then alot of other rappers best verses. I never heard marc shyst before except for his hook on game ova 2, but he spits a pretty nice verse here. I gues i will have to look out for him in the furure cuz the first verse i ever heard of him goes hard. I like his flow. 10/10
19. All Out War – Yukmouth
This not really a whole song cuz it dont have no hook. Its just Yuk spitting for 2 minutes str8 guerilla style. Yuk killing it! Dissing game, some ex regime members and even san quinn. This track shows why Yuk is one of the west best. 10/10
EndResult: 9/10
I know this just a mixtape but its just too hot for me not to review it. If this is just a mixtape then i wonder what we can expect from the Regime album. Anyway this mixtape in enuff for me to leave me fiending for the vol. 2 and the official “Regime Life” album. If you dont own this mixtape please do yourself a favour and slap yourself!
Alot of people think all the rappers on this mixtape are a part of the regime so to give you a better view these are all the official regime members without extended fam :
Yukmouth Tech 9 Yung skrilla Gonzoe Dru down Doracel Poppa Lq Diesel don Governormatic don Ampachino Chino Nino The fleet D-Menace from the menace clan E-Blak Don Stryke Monstah Ganjah Grant Rice Marc Shyst Messy Marv Nyce
