Review #596: $hizz & Doe "Effect Vol. 2: Welcome To O.A.K.L.A.N.D."

Reviewed on 8.05.2010 (Review #596)


Time for my next review. Finally, tha previous DatPiff reviewz I’ve done are COMPLETE, I believe!! Here’s a review for my boyz $hizz & Doe (what up, Jon Doe?) Effect Vol. 2: Welcome To O.A.K.L.A.N.D.!! DEFINITELY lookin’ forward and as much as you’re lookin’ forward to my review, Doe, hopefully after readin’ it, you’ll “swear” again to send me tha hard copy, lol! Start Time: 6:47 PM | End Time: 8:12 PM


Quick Note: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!! I only please myself wit 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.

© 2010 CD Review (Review #596) reviewed on 8.05.2010 by FrankieThaLuckyDog. Other than tha main artist or affiliated people with tha main artist, this review iz to not be used in anyone else’s words!



01. “Killin’ It (Intro)”
I’m goin’ wit how tha back cover has it; tha mp3 info has it reversed. Anyway, this iz REALLY anticipatin’ fa me!!! >>> LOL, it has “intro” in tha title but there was no “intro,” lol! Are ya “pants gon hang low” ‘cause of this beat? LOL, naw, I’m just playin’… Tha quality sounds good and tha hook’s cool… LOL, Doe’s on tha 1st verse here and it’s good and consistent. $hizz’s on tha 2nd verse and it’s nearly identical as Doe fa me; y’all both look nearly tha same on tha cover too, lol… I like tha whole “call 911” shit! My Rating: 4.1


02. “Watch Back”
Keepin’ it goin’, what’ll happen here? >>> LOL, speakin’ of “R.I.P. Handy” at tha end of tha last song, I think this iz more on tha “Nu$$ie Alive” times here wit tha beats; more ’08 soundin’ here wit tha DFB “Talkin’ Out Da Side Of Ya Neck” beat… Tha hook sounds good and tha 1st verse’s okay but a lil’ cocky… My CD in tha mail should come before any “bitch!” I like tha catchy punchlines (e.g., “Ja Rule… I clap back”) on tha both of y’all when y’all spit! Tha 2nd verse’s aight fa me but sounds good towards tha end wit tha punchlines once again! My Rating: 3.8


03. “Blow ‘Em Down” Feat. Young Hits
Sometimes styled as “Yung Hitz” (wit how you have it). Doesn’t this look familiar? >>> Ahh, it iz, LMAO? Was gonna put “remix” on tha ID but this iz “Baton Rouge vs. Baton Rouge” fa me ‘cause Lil’ Yella had tha same exact song… Or, did DeTrane just not give credit to y’all on tha song (then again, you just have Young Hits on tha feature)… Okay, no Lil’ Yella this time so this iz odd ta be a “BR vs. BR” song… Wasn’t sure if tha 1st two verses were tha same ‘cause they nearly sound tha same but they’re both good; nice team! I like how tha 2nd verse started wit “Polos” and shit! I like tha Lil’ Yella version betta so this’ll be a touch lower on tha rating… LMAO, tha same outro? :confused Very confused… I guess DeTrane left some info out on his version… My Rating: 4.3


04. “Strike A Pose”
Likin’ all tha colors on tha back cover; good shit! >>> Anotha hot Young Hits beat here; sounds funny wit tha sounds in tha beginning… Tha hook’s catchy; y’all LUV “pictures,” lol! I do too and don’t mind ANYTIME when someone would take a “picture” of me! Tha rappin’ on tha 1st verse’s just aight fa me; sounds like I can hear someone else say nearly all tha shit bein’ said… Tha 2nd verse sounds cool, mainly due to its cool vibe… Good shout out ta “Hits” on tha beat! Ooh, gettin’ betta wit tha 3rd verse; “Polos, Girbauds!” Pretty good verse overall… LOL @ tha beat ending; kinda long and those funny sounds are here again, lol! My Rating: 4.2


05. “Gettin’ Money” Feat. DJ B-Real & Puppy
Ooh, mega combo here and B-Real’s on this beat; looks like it’ll be a GR8 radio song so let’s see… >>> Pretty catchy here; tha hook’s cool! ALWAYS luv Baton Rouge sounds like dis, 100% of tha time!! Feelin’ tha 1st verse here on this beat although I lose interest when I keep hearin’ ‘bout these “hoes” and shit… B-Real’s on tha 2nd verse here and he’s doin’ his thang; catchy shit! I feel like I can hear this kinda verse in anotha one of his songs he’s featured in (like “Extravagant” from J Buc/Quikkdraw/DJ B-Real). Good thing there was no “hoes” shit in his verse ‘cause he refuses (randomly) to approve my friend request yet on MySpace or Facebook so he shouldn’t be able to rap about dat shit; agreed! LOL, you’re on tha 3rd verse? Where’s Puppy? Okay, here he iz; good job by tha way on your lil’ extra contribution… Interestin’ dat you recruited Puppy on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse; good job… It’s all family when ya hear him and a team of people! My Rating: 4.4


06. Bubba B Skit
Who’s he? Iz he Lil’ Bubba? >>> Three minutes of a skit? What’s this? Was good and explicit fa what it iz but now, I hear tha “5 Star Chick” beat in tha background? Okay, interestin’ ta hear a skit on a jacked beat… This iz a newbie so I’ll prolly talk ta him sooner or later… It’s funny how these people I hear for tha 1st time and no matter who or what, they’re EXTREMELY about “dickin’” people, ROFL! What am I ‘pose ta call this “fucktastic,” lol? LOL… Kinda long for a skit; should’ve been a minute… Who’s “Brista Boy On Tha Track?” My Rating: N/A


07. “#1 Groupie”
I dunno about this title… >>> Scary start; I need to take a shit, sorry. Be right back… …Okay, I’m back and wit no producer listed, this must be a jacked beat… Oh, at least it’s a website beat. WTH @ tha hook; sounds like White people music… Comin’ soon to an Alexia theater and iPod near you, lol!! That means my agent’ll prolly like dis if she eva gets ta hear it… I can’t believe this iz 4:40… Oh no, an A-Tune 2nd verse from $hizz? “Shiid,” I was invisionin’ below a 2.0 rating already; can just imagine how worse tha rating’ll be… I’m glad I delayed this over takin’ a shit! :tu Now, tha 3rd verse sounds like The-Dream wit all tha “aye” ad-libs and names… Fuck any other feedback… My Rating: 1.0


08. “I Know You See Me” Feat. Young Trayne
I feel betta, especially since I see dis collab and a Young Hits beat!! >>> *Shocked voice* No “Young Hits made tha track” tag in tha very beginning… I still don’t hear it, lol? Tha beginning’s soundin’ a lil’ hot… Well, this iz Young Hits, secretly, on tha beat, without a tag… Ooh, tha hook sounds GR8; Trayne sounds REAL GR8 and catchy on tha hook, lol!! Trayne’s on tha 1st verse here and he sounds good on this real gr8 beat!! NOBODY BETTAhate on Big T;” Trayne’ll knock ANYONE down!! Doe’s on tha 2nd verse and kinda odd ta me wit tha “don’t fuck wit plenty niggaz but fuck plenty hoes;” kinda typical like tha otha 999,999,999 people in tha world… But, that’s your choice. I just know dat I go a completely different route (by still bein’ a regular person) and I’m really praised for my routes. Tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ GR8 wit tha flow here; pretty quick though… My Rating: 4.5


09. “Real Nigga Status”
This looks anticipatin’; lemme hear it! >>> I thought it was a Young Hits tag before I saw tha title and it’s a $hizz beat; nice and hypnotizin’! Tha hook’s cool and addictive… Tha 1st verse’s cool; good shit here although I don’t have much ta say… Uh oh, Jon Doe on tha 2nd verse, lol! This iz soundin’ pretty gangsta wit tha rappin’; good job here. Too bad fa only two verses… My Rating: 4.4


10. “Kiss Her Goodnite”
Prolly a lil’ scary… >>> On tha jacked beat tip (The-Dream)… Wow, fuck this too!! :td My Rating: 1.0


½time: Tha average CD rating iz at a GR8 4.2, ya dig! …Oh, I forgot ta contribute tha two fucked up songs…; only a 3.5, sorry. :( Tha rest of tha jointz are gr8 though! Keep makin’ HOT music!!


11. “Runnin’ This”
>>> LOL, everyone luvs this Plies “Who Hotter Than Me” beat, lol… “Runnin’ this bitch like a gold metal sprinter;” good line for tha hook. Still feelin’ tha gr8, catchy punchlines on tha 1st verse! Tha 2nd verse also goes ta show you dat y’all a gr8 team; identical, gr8 rhymes to tha fullest! My Rating: 3.9


12. “Flight School” Feat. G-Money
Ooh, a feature but no source on tha beat? >>> Ahh, heard this beat just recently… Anotha gay-ass hook? Why? :confused Those good rhymes are in tha 1st verse here but I can’t take this a bit serious at all… I don’t need to hear a reference to “Drake” either; we’re in BR, not Canada! WTF @ tha 2nd verse?!? My cousin came ova earlier and was like, “They don’t make Hard Rock music anymore.” I can agree wit her in terms of my music: No one makes Rap music ta where you can tell where it’s comin’ from anymore… No one makes Trance music anymore; so fucked up since my music taste began in 2000… My Rating: 1.8


13. “On My Shit” Feat. DJ B-Real & Young Trayne
Maybe a revival? No beat source? >>> LOL, 334 MO.B.B. & Rich Boy “Supa Fly” beat? Why does it have tha website in tha beginning? Huh, very fucked up soundin’? Why again?!? Tha hook’s HORRIBLE; let Yung Yola CRUSH Y’ALL fa turnin’ a title of his inta this!! :td Why’d it skip also @ 1:35? WhyTH iz tha length 4:39? Iz 4:39 – 4:40 a cursed length? Please tell me these features are FALSE!!! “I don’t mean ta be an anus?” Well, you are ‘cause of this gay-ass A-Tune shit; SO 2007! It’s 2010 now! Damn, tha features are not false? Didn’t realize dat was DJ B-Real on tha hook ‘cause Young Trayne’s on tha last verse… Why’d he fall for tha fucked up curse? :confused Unlucky #7 AND unlucky #13! :td My Rating: 1.3


14. “Chill” Feat. Juiicy
I can end it now; I’m no longer anticipated… >>> And somethin’ like this tells me why! Very horrible consistency all of a sudden… Okay, a lil’ more normal on tha 1st verse though. Still, anotha Drake reference, lol? What if I knew him in 2007? Would you tell someone, “I’ll call you back,” ova it, lol? Tha feature sounds like a grown, Black lady, lol? Like Faith Evans… No $hizz here… My Rating: 2.7


15. “Why They Mad” Feat. Mane Of Money Train
Looks more normal… >>> REALLY? A normal sound here?!? I guess ‘cause $hizz’s on tha beat! Good job wit tha anger here and tha HOT-ASS beat!! Really feelin’ this sound and I’m glad ta hear Money Train too!! LOL @ tha start to tha 1st verse wit tha “lemon” shit! No Doe this time, lol? I guess $hizz just needed ta revive this CD! Glad he did ‘cause tha 1st verse sounds pretty good and energetic from him!! This might be tha best song fa me so far; gotta luv it!! Kinda odd for an emerge on tha 2nd verse, especially if I neva heard Money Train, wit, “Pull up to tha club,” lol? It’s way more normal than some of tha songs on here though so at least dat’s a plus! Sounds like some of tha White rappers I know from Baton Rouge dat sound real good; nice job on tha verse!! Gotta feel powered up wit tha “loratabs and xanabarz!!” LOL, didn’t expect a 3rd verse here; good shit! LOL @ tha “Speedo” part although it was used in a more “normal” quote here, accordin’ ta “goin’ fast!” This went ALL tha way to tha end!! My Rating: 4.6


16. “Cocky”
Didn’t take tha Hannibal song now, did you, lol? >>> I’m just joking… Glad it’s anotha original production (Young Hits this time); good hook although it sounds like Remy Ma “Conceited” wit tha flow? Very consistent wit all this rappin’ on tha 1st verse!! :tu SO MUCH ta rap about, lol!! “Batman” emerge onto tha 2nd verse here and tha flow’s just stayin’ real catchy!! LOL, a “Gates” reference; I look forward ta hearin’ my name be referred in songs soon! I have a higher status than most of tha rappers in BR, ya dig! Jon Doe’s on tha 3rd verse and it sounds good fa BR although tha catchy flow’s missin’ a lil’ in tha—oh, neva mind, I hear it ‘round 3:34; good job wit tha flow at tha end of tha verse, Doe! My Rating: 4.3


17. “Bed Rock”
>>> Good thing there’s no A-Tune although I don’t take songs serious at all when tha original hook’s on it! FUCK!! Why’d I open my mouth about tha A-Tune? Was jynxed towards tha end of tha 1st verse!! :td Dat lil’ part just made me pissed! Tha 2nd verse ain’t A-Tune’d? Some of tha rappin’ just bores me… WTF @ tha mixin’ towards tha end? How fucked up! My Rating: 2.4


18. “Cold Blooded” Feat. Young Trayne & DBK
>>> I didn’t hear a beat tag in tha beginning at first so I was a lil’ worried. But, I see $hizz on tha beat so this iz a safety zone! Tha hook’s catchy; feelin’ it and tha beat iz a lil’ above okay. Tha 1st verse’s pretty good; this has those catchy punchlines once again! A MUCH MORE NORMAL Trayne on tha 2nd verse here, spittin’ good shit! He even has some Digital Media-type rhymes wit “turnin’ tha camera angle;” good shit! Kenny’s on tha 3rd verse and it’s above average… My Rating: 4.3


19. “Ambitions Az A Writer”
Oh no, not one of these typical titles… >>> LOL, I thought it was Andre 3000 at first? This ain’t a Pac beat and tha 1st verse’s aight; sounds like tha rappin’s tryin’ its best although, it’s just a jacked beat… WTF @ all tha braggin’ before tha 2nd verse? Again, it’s just a jacked beat… Okay, tha 2nd verse iz somethin’ I can handle here; tha lyrical-type rhymes dat are continuous… “Not even 21 yet?” I’m a lil’ older? Didn’t expect dat… A much more calm part before tha 3rd verse, luckily… Tha 3rd verse sounds like some more pretty good rappin’… Some of tha rhymes ain’t my style though, so it’s a lil’ not for me… My Rating: 3.2


20. “Polo 2 The Flo (Remix)” Feat. Mane, Treal, Tula Boy, Chad & Lovely Boy
LOL, look at dis lineup!! Looks like it gon be crazy wit $hizz on tha beat!! >>> “Remix?” I gon put it in tha ID then! Neva heard this before although it sounds familiar on tha hook? Tha hook’s crazy as hell!! This could be my favorite song on this CD? Tha 1st ½ of tha 1st verse sounds good… Tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse sounds MUCH BETTA wit dat Mane dude; REAL GLAD he’s back and just doin’ a REAL GR8 job!!! Tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse sounds like Tula Boy; glad ta hear him again!! Dumb shit to tha fullest right chea!! REALLY luvin’ tha swag at ALL times!! Feelin’ all those “color horses!!” :tu LOL @ tha “Swag Surfin’” reference… Chad’s on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse and he contributes good as a part of tha family… Tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse sounds like they’re luvin’ their “boxers” wit tha “Polo horses” on them, lol!! I neva knew there would be a day where people would LUV their underwear so much ta sag their pants to tha world; lol! I find it funny… Lovely Boy’s on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse and again, glad ta have anotha dude as a part of y’all family! Good job, all y’all!! My Rating: 4.7


21. “My People (Remix)” Feat. Young Trayne
A bonus song just from Doe? Let’s see what’s good wit dis… >>> Sounds like mixin’ in tha beginning… Glad it’s at least normal… ROFL, Young Trayne’s on tha 1st verse? I see you just have “Doe” as tha artist on tha mp3 info… Anyway, Trayne’s doin’ his thang on tha 1st verse here; VERY consistent wit tha kick-ass rhymes!! Baton Rouge style to tha fullest!! It’s in tha vains!! Tha Webbie-soundin’-sampled hook sounds tight too!! :tu Tha 2nd verse’s pretty good fa tha 225 sound here! LOL @ “fightin’ ova bad bitches;” should be not allowed afta Bleek died ova it! LOL, “Mr. Doe iz in tha buildin’” on tha 3rd verse? I guess I’ll just consider dat $hizz was on tha 2nd verse? Gutta shit here… My Rating: 4.4


Overall: Wow, not statistically what I expected. I guess dat’s what happens when you don’t have a producer for some songs… Those songs I didn’t like were not called for at all; not even CLOSE ta bein’ “different!” But, there’s a bunch of gr8 songs for tha radio so you KNOW I’ll be nice enough ta give y’all radio play! Hope y’all do like dis seven page review!
