Here are 2 reviews of Elephant In the Sand

HiphopDX

Did I just graduate high school all over again? Last time I was banging G Unit mixtapes this much was back in the Gods Plan, No Mercy No Fear, 50 Is The Future days. How did 50 get so hungry all of a sudden? Fully Loaded has our guns strapped ready to "Put A Hollow Thru Him" because "I'm On It Like That". Even the would be cheesy "I Fucked Your Girl" rides out on some smooth shit. I gotta give it up to good ol' fif, the man is a marketing genius. As much as it is comedy, at least he didnt flop and give us music that was garbage. ThisIs50.com has the net in a choke hold right now. G Unit soldiers, single file please.

MixtapeKings

What the hell was the "Rat Joe Skit" supposed to prove? I missed the logic on that one or maybe I'm just not hood enought to understand that shit. As a matter of fact, it's straight "wack juice" to have 3 skits on a mixtape with 9 real joints. That math just doesnt compute. I would have liked to see Mike Epps get a skit instead of a drop. He was hilarious, but his drop would have gone perfectly as an interlude for "I Fucked Your Bitch". It was illed placed, but other than that, this is the rebirth of the Unit.

"Hollow Thru Him" jacked the fuck out of that Red Cafe sample from Krush Groove and made it an anthem. I wasnt crazy about the chorus to "I'm On It Like That", but if that beat dont make you want to kick a bitch in the twizat, I dont know what will. "Im on it like that/I'm living like that/...pussy fat nigga fuckin' wit me", just isnt what I expected after all the witty worldplay and boasting that went on in the first verse.

"Confrontation" is a warning shot to all those who thought 50 forgot why we enjoyed the G Unit mixtapes so much. "Sunroof Open" is gangsta music at its best. "Nigga fuck Ed Hardy/ buy a fifth with a clip" is the reason we loved the Unit and altohugh they've been saying it since day one, the last couple of outings the swagger was absent. "I Fucked Your Girl" is by far my favorite joint. I can honestly say I rocked that shit on repeast for a whole trip uo the west side. I wish there would have been more rhyming and less harmonizing, but regardless every nigga listening to that track is singing that track thinking about fucking some dudes chick they dont like.

Okay, niggas want to know how I handle the mixtape rankings, well here's a breakdown.

1.Exclusive Music- 1
2. Transitions- 1 (Better than most exclusive joints)
3. Lenght- 2 (This mixtape only had 9 fucking tracks)
4. Quality of Music- 1 (The tracks were crazy)

I really want to give this mixtape 3 tapes homie, but this shit had 9 songs on it, I dont give a fuck how hot the music is, (and the shit is flames). I just cant give Elephant In the Sand 3 tapes in good conscious. I go too far back with mixtapes for that, 2.5.

Mixtapes were fire, and yeah the length was no excuse, I mean there are tapes with so many songs and alot are wack, and plus aint there 10 real tracks not 9? Anyway, shit should be judged on the music that is on it, not how many tracks there are. Every track was fire, so the tape is fire, thats just it. Keep it short and clean, thats it.
