Dem Florida Boyz is hyped to be one of the hottest mixtapes out the sun shine state.  Hosted by DJ G Spot, the tape features Rick Ross and a plethora of Florida talent namely Brisco.  With all the competition in Hip-Hop and certain Southern regions feeling that there not being recognized for their hard work and success, this mixtape is just an introduction of what Florida has to offer.

 

A brief intro from G Spot quickly moves into which may be the song of the year “Swagger Like Us”. Rick Ross Spits the usual sixteen, once again redefining why he’s a boss. A few highlights come from Rick Ross with help from the Carol City Cartel on “Ridin Thru The Ghetto”; a definite late night tune you can ride slow to. “Dope Boys”, and “Pop That P****” featuring Birdman are both head-nodders from start to finish.

 

For the remainder of the disc its Brisco spewing hard lyrics about true life events and street life struggles.  On “I’m Back” he spits “And on my quest all I need is a vest gun and ammo / The way I work that steel I should’ve played Rambo / Or G.I. Joe or Sergeant Slaughter / Major Payne but I ain’t talking about comedy partna.” Other highlights include “This Is My Life”, “This Is The Life Remix”, and “Get Like Me”.

 

Unfortunately there isn't anything on this effort pushing it towards any creative credibility. Throughout this mixtape you’ll hear the usual formulas of your radio tunes, so called freestyles, simple hooks, and flashy lyrics. Therefore a few of the tracks on the tape may be unimpressive to many of those outside 305 (“Just Know That", "Go Hard", "Get Crown"). Those craving that signature M.I.A. Yayo sound will appreciate the focus on Florida here; others, not so much.

.........I looked forward to Doo Wop,Dj Clue and Flex when it came to mixtapes.Rare free styles, unreleased raw non commercial music that showed the actual talent behind the flash seen on TV and heard on radio. That was then, unfortunately that's a long time removed from product like this..........at least no one will actually pay for this noise.

ross killed that swagger like us track....and weezy kissing a grown nigga on the lips is far worse than anything ross has done. weezy got a damn lip ring now too, weezy is on that homo swag. Then you got the game with a fucking tongue ring on "change of heart"....ross might of been a c.o. for a minute but i dont think this nigga is fake. A c.o is nothing like a cop or undercover. And who the fuck did ross snitch on? Get the fuck outta here and hop off weezys nuts

@theman1010

So you're okay with being called fake?  Rick Ross called you fake for sayin' he's a C.O. and you're okay with that?  Callin' the Hip Hop Community FAKE for believing what's REAL and then finally confessing to the shit is just as bad as a homo rapper with a lip ring homie.  

@AHH

I won't just sit back and let no drug lord imitator sit here and call me fake for finding out that he used to be a fuckin' officer of the law.  Before all that even came to light, just based off of his music I never liked his ass anyway!  He rap the same over every fuckin' beat, so anybody that says "don't pay attention to the lies, just listen to his music" can eat a dick because the nigga's music is truly repetitive garbage overrun with addlibs.

@Topchoice

I don't know if Brisco kicks it with the nigga outside of the studio, so I have no idea what he's up to.  But I'm not like 50 Cent, meaning I won't be like "fuck you if you work with Rick Ross" 'cause if I said that I would be talkin' down on Trick Daddy, Bun B, MJG, 8-Ball, etc... so I'm not gonna say "fuck him" just because he did a mixtape with the nigga.

Rick Ross's statement to the Hip Hop Community earlier this year: "My life is 100% real.  The pictures were created by the fake to entertain the fake."

Now he comes with this confession after all that tough talk.

What a fuckin' shame..  The Lying in the Rap game is completely out of control.. fuck what you heard, I don't care if KRS-One said there's no rules in this shit, 'cause there IS unwritten rules!  For example, the Hip Hop Community is not supposed to accept snitch rappers, LIARS, FRAUDS, wannabe Gangstas that only throw up a set in their music videos, so fuck anybody talkin' about there's no rules in this shit.  YES, there ARE RULES in HIP HOP, that's why niggaz get shot the fuck down for actin' gangsta in their music videos but not backing it up on the streets, because this shit is not a game!  HIP HOP RULE NUMBER 1 - KEEP IT REAL AND YOU CAN'T LOSE!  Hip Hop is a way of LIFE, this genre of music was not meant for liars and imitators to make money off of, sadly we got niggaz tryna overturn that ruling!

im tired of muhafuckas rhyming about being gangsta and busting guns and selling coke. i heard these boyz before, thats what they rap about. they aint got much substance no creativity. if they sound like pac that already means they aint bringing somthing new to the table. if i want to listen to something gangsta but with at least some substance id rather listen to Jada and styles P. jada is creative with his lyrics and styles P makes good cohesive songs. Ross is cool but them other boyz are : Ehhhhh.

Killuminati 187 said:

yeah!@Gee-Class

Exactly!

Alot of people don't even know that Common used to be a GD!  He ain't braggin' about the shit though and he's creative with his music, that's the difference between him and these ignorant ass mothafuckaz makin' nothin' but detrimental bullshit full of lies.  Tell these wannabe drug lords to step they fuckin' game up.

RapItUp said:

I can dig the substance of rap and all that, but if we want to get into all that, nobody is on this website pushing Common. I don't see it, very rarely ever. Talib, Mos Def, hell, Canibus, KANYE even spits some substance bearing shit, even if it's in a sarcastic tone (the only way he can be heard by the hood, since he isn't an actual "drug lord", although he used to bang in his day, and doesn't reference it much. Maybe it's a Chi thing) IMO, I think niggas sleeping on Ross (or turning the blind, hating eye) are a little close-minded, a little redundant. You don't like Ross, but you like Jay-Z? Lol, negative. They are the same thing, Jay just gets off waaay harder. But Ross is the flyest nigga to step foot outside of Florida's boundaries, as you see. He got Jigga co-sign. The nigga stay draped in Gucci apparel, and he doesn't step on any rapper toes and make any foolish news headlines. The only shit he really been in it for, is this: his government paying job. Lol, SMH at niggas that hate on some shit like that.

I saw somebody say up here one time "Can't you have a regular job, and be doing something illegal on the side?" I would think and hope so, if not, then a lot of you niggas on here talking about the business is some cyber-squares and you get lost behind this facade. We don't know Rick Ross. Lol, so, as you can see, my argument is un-biased, but it does bother me to see people so quick to put a nigga down that's doing good, especially one that doesn't say shit about any of the niggas they listening to. He probably works with the niggas you listen to, and is respected by them, at least. Who is Freeway Ricky Ross really? Do ya'll respect him? This sell-out ass nigga was taking dope from the white man and selling it to black communities. Fuck his ass. I hope he sits in that cell and really rots away. I don't like Ross talking about so much yayo slanging, because it generally affects black communities, but it's just entertainment, right? Lol, ya'll niggas be ON IT!

RapItUp said:

I mean, ya'll can get mad all day about how Rick Ross lied to you, and ya'll don't like him now, and all this jazz. But think about all the other niggas that BEEN lying to ya'll ass, and you suck that in? If you don't take him serious, don't take none of them niggas serious, you know it's not easy to get to that level of fame, to be on a mass level of CD distribution in this jewish owned media and times? These niggas be sucking dick and doing all kinds of weird shit for their record deals, to make sure they get spins. Like somebody said, look at Wayne. I don't think a tongue ring makes niggas gay, necessarily.. Nipple rings do. Fuck that. Lip ring? Major queer. If you about to be upset about who lying to you, look all these niggas up! What did T.I. say on his last cd? "Pull these niggas resumes!" But even he got the one year sentence for machine guns, with SILENCERS (automatic federal!) but I guess one photo is all we need. That's how our bitches be catching us up. With one photo. Haha

RapItUp said:

Well, I think what Nas was trying to get across, was that black people shouldn't be so quick to throw the "Fried Chicken" around so proudly, that's another weapon against us. Not a very powerful one, of course, but if they see an '00 impala on 22's pull up to church's, you know they snicker everytime. Lol, don't give them that! Not the typical! Eating chicken isn't bad for you, I mean, eating meat period isn't the best thing for the body, but white meat is cool. Chicken is certainly better than pork. A lot of new york rappers, especially practice not eating pork (and that's signs of enlightment, because eating pork is a European/Roman/Slave epidemic anyways. So I think Nas was just pressing his point without getting too detailed. But I feel you though bestnexthing, people do contradict themselves all the time. I don't intend to sound like a Ross rider, but he does make very good music to me (I don't even listen to rap for much "substance" these days, if somebody says something relevant, that's good, but I don't expect it, with SB and various others selling they soul for record deals) It's just an ugly cycle. Oo, on another note, I haven't heard this mixtape, and probably won't. As much as I like Ross, Brisco doesn't really do it for me. Kinda weak. So I'm not promoting this mixtape with my words, just a "general thought", so to speak. Much love, just don't be so quick to stamp something without putting the full thought into it! (And away with slave food!)

so what if the nigga was a CO. he had an honest job. if he really was a drug lord, and spent X amount of years in prison, half ya'll niggas would be praising him as a "real nigga." we celebrate a MF getting out of prison more than someone graduating college. Grow up hiphop!

now on the other hand, lying about the shit was pretty pathetic. a lame attempt to continue the lies he had built through his music. thats what i'm saying, he would rather be known as a drug dealer than as a honest, hard working, tax paying citizen. this is what we've come to in hiphop. we condone ignorance and stupidity while downplaying and ridiculing positive acheivments. not to play devils advocate, but its almost like he was forced to act the way he did. but of course he was fully capable of making his own decisions.

so bottomline, what ross did was deeper than just him. its a frame of mind we in the hiphop community have been coaxed into. its very similar to the whole wille lynch syndrome. stop scratching the surface and lets search for true meaning.

shout out the boy illseed!

@BOTH of y'all

I love it when people graduate college!  I don't support this wannabe drug lord rap shit!!!!

I WILL NOT SUPPORT A NIGGA THAT SAID: "My life is 100% real!  The pics were created by the fake to entertain the fake!" WHEN WE ALL KNOW HE'S 100% LYING!  That is NOT ACCEPTABLE.  How the fuck you gonna call ME fake when YOU the one lyin' all over the fuckin' Media!?!?  He should put the mic down forever because of that.  I don't give a FUCK if he had to work a normal job, that's not the point!! The point is he tried to front like he was never a C.O. to look like the most gangsta nigga in the rap industry and got his fuckin' card pulled!  He called ALL Y'ALL FAKE!  And some of you STILL TAKE UP FOR THIS LYIN' ASS NIGGA??  Anybody that supports Rick False after he tried to act like he was so tough and got exposed should bury they own fuckin' face in the dirt, that's not manly at all.  The nigga'z obviously ashamed of himself for working a regular job, well nigga if you got shame in your game you have no business gettin' on tracks talkin' about you a fuckin' BOSS.  GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!  A Boss ain't gotta lie about shit!


@THE AHH ROSS LOVERS
I ain't gonna let y'all fuckin' Ross nut-huggers get on here and say it's all about this guy's music.  That's like me bein' a fuckin' cop then blowin' up off rap and gettin' in front of cameras swearin' I never wore the uniform and badge!  BOLD FACE LIE!  NOT ACCEPTABLE!  You mean to tell me it's OKAY TO LIE TO THE FANS LIKE THAT?  Let alone lie to ANYBODY like that!  He can just get away with it like he's the Realest nigga alive? LMFAO okay then fuck it y'all can buy this fraud's shit since you like supporting people who called you fake and lied to you like they were 100% real, it ain't my money!

I'm not saying Ross ain't wrong for saying what he did, but to just treat him as if he's "SUCH A FRAUD", and a "BOLD FACE LIE", when all the other rappers are the same way. Lol, but see, they lie about other shit, serious shit that can't get out to the public, like who dick they sucking, and why they aren't from their hood at all, or only the outskirts. Ross got caught up in his job lie. Which was pretty serious, no front, due to what he raps about, but like I said, he is only on the cross because he got outed. I know Common is a real nigga, but if you want to get on that, then please do give Kanye his props also, he used to be a bang in the Chi as well. But people call him gay and confused and all the extra, he doesn't rap about that shit either. But that's a different story. Conclusion, Ross is just one that got caught, but he makes good music. It's all entertainment, even your favorite rappers tell you they are lying to you when they spit anyways. If you are going to get ASS SORE and not listen to them anymore because of that, you may as well convert to straight R&B and listen to them broads singing about their hurt hearts and emotions. That's the realest shit going right now. Lol, because niggas be on that heart-break shit by nature! Haha
