Review #336: Dutty Devioso "Ball Point Therapy"

Reviewed on 11.28.2009 (Review #336)


It's Frankie here... Tryna get back inta action, ya dig! I 'bout ta do my next review fa Dutty Devioso and his Ball Point Therapy CD. I'll review it now, but will not reveal it online 'til I get my payment for tha review (since you paid me for tha last review I did for you last year). Here goes my review fa Dutty Devioso Ball Point Therapy! Start Time: 3:03 PM | End Time: 4:13 PM
8.29.2016 EDIT: With all tha bullshit goin’ on with working & shit, what tha hell, why not put this review online! No big deal!!


Quick Note: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0. Each rating iz my own opinion!! I only please myself with my ratings!! I don’t care how lyrical you are! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings (if a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much REALLY LOVE it as it’s considered “mindblowin’” when I hear it) so any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song. Anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it.

01. "Act Badd" Feat. Jigg
Looks good on tha ID, so it should be good, although it only 1:48... >>> This sounds like a real good intro. Really feelin' tha intro, and tha hook iz REAL good!! Gotta luv tha "dog," "breathin' hard," and tha dark voice parts!!! :tu Tha 1st verse sounds real gr8; a near-Max Minelli type of flow here! :tu How odd that you said at tha end of tha verse, "Don't say I sound like Max;" whoops, I guess, lol? My Rating: 4.5


02. "Gut Check" Feat. Durty Red
Looks like anotha gr8 title!! It's longer, so I should be able ta like it in a betta mood! >>> Pretty cool beat intro here... Sounds a lil' relaxed on tha flow from tha last flow. Nice job on tha 1st verse; always feelin' what you spittin' here! Tha title part sounds good; I like tha title when it's said! LOL @ tha "I bust nuts/I bust heads" part! :tu Nice job on tha 2nd verse too, and it sounds like Durty Red iz on tha 3rd verse... Soundin' pretty good wit how he's comin'; you KNOW I got buku luv fa anybody that rolls wit tha 225! My Rating: 4.1


03. "Mo Real"
Just you this time; looks like we'll keep it "real" everytime wit this title! >>> Ooh, a good beat intro here! :tu Let's see how good this one iz since it's past tha 4 minute mark for tha length! Sounds like good lyrics mixed wit tha gr8 flow and beat, so that makes a gr8 1st verse! I like how tha hook sounds; gr8 job/thumbs up! :tu Keepin' this shit "mo real" than a lotta people! Still keepin' it hood in tha 2nd verse, so you know you get tha props from me, easily! I like tha "...choppa. It'll pop ya like a nigga do dem pillz" part in tha hook too! My Rating: 4.2


04. "Never Will I"
Only about 2:10 on tha length; let's see how this'll be... >>> Sounds like New York type style in tha beat start here; let's see if you'll handle it! Well, you sound good on tha 1st verse; grimy voice here! You sound gr8 on this beat, especially how you're deliverin' this joint! I like how you said, "Neva will I stop smokin' dat killa;" that's watz good! Great shit right here! My Rating: 4.0


05. "G Step" Feat. Princess
Not sure how I feel about tha title, so let's see... >>> A lil' gay that it took like 30 seconds for somethin' ta come out, and it's also a lil' gay in tha beginning of tha 1st verse wit tha dancin' lyrics wit snappin' in tha beat. Tha hook iz kinda gay too; I don't like dancin' songs!! Ugh, does EVERY dancin' song have ta have tha title repeat?? "Simple as P-I-E?" :confused You hungry or somethin'? :confused There's no interest in tha lyrics also, since they're very typical from what a typical mainstream rapper would sound like on a song like this. LOL @ tha Princess gurl at 3:01; she sounds betta on this. Still, her part was just decent. BOOOO @ tha "keep your dougie fresh ta def" in tha hook; YUCK @ tha dougie STILL in peoples' songs (WHY?!?)!! My Rating: 2.4


06. "Hooptie Musik"
What's up wit this title? Maybe it'll be cool? >>> A betta beat this time; fits your style, and I have a feelin' this'll be good! Startin' off tha 1st verse wit a "Swang" recyclin' line. Catchy 1st verse from you... Tha 2nd verse was good too, as you're deliverin' dat "hoopite musik" your way! I like tha start to tha 3rd verse wit how you're soundin', so this iz still a plus while I listen to it! Nice job on this joint right here! My Rating: 4.2


07. "I Wish A Nigga Would" Feat. D. Clark & J Park
Looks like a raw title wit new people on it; lookin' forward!! >>> Yea, tha beat iz creepin' up gr8! :tu Tha hook sounds pretty raw! It's like, bring err-body; they CAN'T touch what you're doin' on this shit, ya dig! That's how you feel when you're deliverin' this shit! Tha 1st verse sounds REALLY on tha raw tip! Gr8 job here, my boy!! REAL REAL GOOD verse right here wit your RAW-ASS FLOW!!! :tu Even tha 2nd verse iz on sum REAL tight shit!! REAL GLAD you fuck wit some REAL gr8 rappers!! Tha 3rd verse sounds gr8 too!! Once a TIGHT flow on here, ALWAYS a TIGHT flow from anybody on here!!! My Rating: 4.8


08. "He Can't F U" Feat. Tequilla
:rofl @ this title!! >>> A lil' betta than tha dancin' song for a start... Tha hook iz on a singin' tip, and it's pretty good; nothin' wrong wit it. It sounds pretty catchy when tha title iz said! Here comes tha 1st verse, rappin' wit a "bond" here! Nice job wit tha 1st verse. Ooh, tha Tequilla person iz a female, rappin' on tha 2nd verse! Nice job from her contributin' ta this joint! My Rating: 3.8


½time: Gr8 CD so far!! I'm pretty sure it's betta than tha "Up The Ante" one! Keep doin' ya thang, but stay in touch wit me! Tha average CD rating currently iz at an even 4.0!


09. "Watch It Sucka"
2:25 (Baton Rouge) on tha length, lol! Although kinda short, let's see what you got ta offer wit this catchy title! >>> Sounds like a jacked beat? I'm not exactly sure, but it's pretty good for a start. Tha hook was aight, but tha 1st verse sounds like good material! I like your "I'm 'bad' like 'Mike,' and 'in control' like 'Janet'" parts; brotha ta sista, lol! Nice job wit tha rappin' here! My Rating: 4.1


10. "Hustle Strong" Feat. D. Clark
Looks like anotha gr8 title; hope you hold it down! >>> Shout out to tha young kid in tha beginning, lol. Tha title already applies to tha song wit only a few seconds into tha verse, as you're spittin' all tha GR8 "hustle needs" and "hustle" thingz!! :tu Nice job wit tha hook too; catchy shit here! Tha 2nd verse sounds like it's that gr8 street shit, so thumbs up once again!! My Rating: 4.4


11. "Misunderstood"
Not sure how I'll feel about this one as well... >>> Sounds like a break up song... Okay 1st verse; I surprisingly like tha hook betta as it's catchy. A lil' betta on tha 2nd verse, but I don't have much ta say... My Rating: 3.5


12. "High On Luv" Feat. Mista Matt Of S.C.C.
There's 2 errors on tha ID: 1.) "High" iz not "Hi" ; 2.) It's "Mista Matt", not "Mr. Matt". Anyway, let's see how he makes a lil' bit of a comeback fa me... >>> Tha beat iz on tha mellow side, so I'm not sure how much I'll feel this one... Tha 1st verse from you sounds gr8. Between this title and tha last title, it sounds like this iz a recovery from tha last song, since you "broke up." I hear Matt on tha 2nd verse, and he's mellow for this song too, lol. I always like how he comes through on tha features! Gotta luv how he said, "Lemme hit dat ass," lol! You're back on tha 3rd verse, Dutty, and you sound betta this time. My Rating: 3.8


13. "PWA" Feat. The 12th Dawg
I wonder what this'll be like; I feel like I gon look forward!! >>> LOL, did you take a sleepin' pill or somethin'? ANOTHA mellow song here... After one or two songs, tha tempo should at least change a bit... Sounds like a really long 1st verse, on tha mellow tip. I hear tha hook, and it sounds nice and relaxin', ESPECIALLY since I figured out what it stood for: Pussy Weed Alcohol; good shit! Tha 2nd verse iz betta than tha 1st verse. You stayin' nice and relaxed here! My Rating: 3.9


14. "After The Rain"
NO... NOT AGAIN!! >>> Oh no. :( Sounds like a mix of a non-Rap sound wit rainin' in tha beginning... Not really inta this depressing-type of song. Okay lyrics about bringin' back memories. Tha hook iz just decent for me; nothin' special. Tha rest of tha song was just okay, but not really for me. My Rating: 2.2


15. "Heart On The Track"
*Yawn...* >>> Now, I hear tha jacked beat shit wit tha "Leather So Soft" beat. There's not even 2:30 left; when are you rappin' on it? Yea, you were lyrical on this, but c'mon, I'm not even gonna take it serious when it's not even an original beat! My Rating: 1.4


16. "Hardy Harr"
Only one left... >>> Not only did you finally change tha tempo, but you added a Rock N Roll sound ta this beat, lol. Tha rappin' in tha 1st verse iz aight so far... Tha hook iz pretty catchy. Now, I'm hearin' tha 2nd verse, and it sounds like you're enjoyin' this song right here; good. Nice job wit tha 2nd verse, and you got a 3rd one comin' right up it looks like... Yea, nice job wit tha 3rd verse; VERY consistent! My Rating: 4.0


Overall: Great 1st 1/2 of tha CD, but afta tha 1st two songs on tha 2nd 1/2, tha CD went in a really weird direction...
