Royce is the best thing to come out of Detroit. There, I said it. As you all know, this is a mixtape not an album. Even though its a mixtape it's better than most people's albums nowadays. The only real flaw of this album is suspect production on certain tracks. Nickel, Simon Says(Street Games) and Jump all suffer from fishy beats. Lyrically these tracks are good. Buzzin, On The Road, and Dope are tight tracks and Gone In 30 Seconds and Switch get instant replay value. 52 Bars(which samples Mc Lyte's Paper Thin), Back In The Days and F*** A Hook is Royce staying true to his hip hop roots. Basic Rap is Royce's sharp diss to elementary rhyme scheme rappers. No Talent Rappers is cool even though the song is not about the title and Stand Up ends the mixtape on a deep note.
Bottom Line: Make It Count is an exceptional effort by Royce and his crew. Royce is still a raw lyricist and his crew showed promise on this mixtape. Standouts: BUZZIN, ON THE ROAD, GONE IN 30 SECONDS, SWITCH, 52 BARS, MY BROTHER'S KEEPER, BASIC RAP and NO TALENT RAPPERS.

4.0 out of 5 stars Royce Da 5'9 - M.I.C, November 14, 2005

This is the second album that I picked up from Royce. This isn't really a solo album by him, his M.I.C group is also on a lot of the songs. Don't let that keep you from getting this though.

Lyrically, Royce and the M.I.C is real on this album. Its the same old Royce you know from any other songs/albums hes been on.

Production wise, this album is very good, some of the beats were decent/medicore, but most were bangers. The songs I listed in my top 5 have very dope beats.

If you like Royce, then this album is for you plain and simple. Nothing weak abou it!

Peace.

Royce da 5'9" delivers a strong album for his fourth. Though labeled as a mixtape, it is more like a full length CD to me. It has 15 songs, 6 of which feature other rappers and is about 54 minutes long. There is no doubt that 5'9" is a good mc, Production is good, Asar does the majority (7 songs), Kidd, Nottz, and Royce all do 2, and Rob Reef Teelow and Young Marcus each do 1. No real weak spots, a few tracks that are ok but they can be listened to. It has 2 near classic, 5 ok songs, 2 I skip, and the rest are good. Recommended for Royce fans.
