The opening of "This Shxt is Mixxie" sounds like a 50 Cent song, in terms of comparsons the Odd Future collective is generally likened not so much to 'lets get drunk in the club' rap but to darker rap. I've heard more comparisons to Kool Keith, Necro and Eminem then anyone else. I've also heard early Three 6 Mafia thrown around.

The beginning sample, again, doesn't sound like anything you hear on "Slow It Down", Tyler prefers his lo-fi synths/beats, which, we don't hear on "This Shxt is Mixxie." In fact, that beginning part pretty much repeats for the whole song. It's incredibly repetitive and generic, and there's no switch up throughout the song and they feel the need to return to the phrase "this shit is mixxie" at the end which goes on for like a minute (just like it did on the beginning - this return to a repetitive/annoying part isn't there in Slow It Down. The only returned to part is the chorus...which sounds radically different from anything on "This Shxt is Mixxie.")

"Slow It Down" starts out with the synthesizers, and introduces Hodgy Beats. Hodgy's voice is accented pretty different then the dudes on "This Shxt is Mixxie," though I can sort see some similarities in how they sound. After he's done rapping it kicks into this weird chorus with a melody thing with a rapsy, kind of creepy voice chanting "turn it up" and then another weird vocal effect, that kind of sounds like someone mocking Satan, talking over that. When Tyler kicks in the rapping changes, picks up a bit and is definitely way more experienced/talented/better flow/just better everything really. Tyler's voice is also very baritone, giving him a way different sound then either of those dudes.

Also, it's worth noting that the rapping actually does changes (and is on beat) in "Slow It Down." The rapping is the same throughout all of "This Shxt is Mixxie" and it doesn't even mesh with the sample that well.

Lyrically, "This Shxt is Mixxie" talks a lot about bitches, joints, alcohol, bitches some more, swag and LL Cool J. Pretty sure the extent of the wit is "Bitches on my dick cause I fuck like a porn star / I make them cum fast like a sports car." Which is downright Shakespearean. On "Slow It Down" yeah it's also has sex references and is basically egotism, but I think they do it better. That's just personal opinion in there though. I guess I see a similarity there though, but if you're going to say rap about egotism is all the same then basically all rap is all the same.

That is why I think they're radically different tracks.
