LoGiK's Review of "The Diary of a Fallen Soldier"
If You Don't Know: 2.5/5 This track was decent at the most. Verses dont match beat and verses dont really match each other. Hook isnt good at all.
Life's A Bitch: 5/5 Great track. Possibly the best one on here.
Back Up Off Me: 4/5 This one was pretty good. Good Job on this one.
Fight Music: 3/5 Not Feeling it. Mixing was good.
$100 Ya'll: 4/5 Good song. One of the better tracks.
Girls With The Boom: 3/5 Straight song. Good Mixing/Blending.
Sippin' On a 40: 3/5 Good Blending. I hate the hook on this song.
Clap Back: 2/5 Blending/Mixing was good. But i wasnt feeling this at all.
Still Alive: 1.5/5 This beat doesnt fit AZ at all. Really not feeling this. One of the very low points of this mixtape. AZ kills this track on the original version.
Smile: 5/5 Great Track. One of the high points on this mixtape.
How We Do/Church Foe Thugs: 3/5 Wasnt that bad. This track is decent
Put It On: 2/5 Not a good beat to choose for Big L this track didnt go well with that beat. Hook doesnt help this song at all, it actually hurts it more.
Made You Look: 2.5/5 Its not very good. Never put Eazy-E on an East coast beat. I dont think it works out to well. Hook is one of the worst on this mixtape.
Ghetto Prisoners: 2.5/5 I dont think that the verses really match at all. Hook didnt go well with this beat. Everything else was straight but this track isnt quite a 3/5 track.
Shut The Fuck Up: 3/5 This wasnt that bad. It was straight. Could have used a bit of work.
Ride Or Die: 2.5/5 The Beat wasnt a good choice. Kinda let the hook stand out and it wasnt a good thing. Beat is kinda overpowering again not a good thing.
Dreams: 4/5 This track was actually very creative. Good job on it.
Run: 4.5/5 Good track. Almost everything was better than average.
Nigga's Story: 3/5 Not a bad track but not a great one.
Me Against The World: 3/5 Same thing like the Biggie song before this one.
Overall: 2andhalfstars.png
This mixtape is a shock. Not nearly as good as "The Genesis & Chronicles" Mixtape. Even though this mixtape did have some really good songs in it, it had way too many fillers in it. That is what really kind of killed this mixtape. It seems that you didnt take as much time into making this one as you did with "The Genesis & Chronicles" mixtape. Anyway you had some good stuff on this, so keep that up. But dont put fillers in the next one. Also the title of this mixtape didnt really match anything in this mixtape "The Diary of a Fallen Solder" seems more fit for a dead artist like Tupac, but the mixtape would have to be exclusive to him. At some level the "Sophmore Jinx" got you on this one. Above all keep up the good work (Like "Smile" and "Life's A Bitch") and i hope you make a good return on your next mixtape. Good Luck.
