Review #1,088: Dog Da Cutthroata "Look At Me Now"

Reviewed on 12.02.2011 (Review #1,088)

My 3rd review for today iz Dog Da Cutthroata Look At Me Now. Start Time: 4:49 PM | End Time: 5:20 PM


Disclaimer: 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 already love it. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! 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. “Dumb Ass”
LOL @ this startin’ title! >>> Pop start? How iz everything automatically “ready”? Must be good… Sounds good; lol @ tha cocky attitude. How you automatically have a “bitch,” too; ain’t that hard? My Rating: 4.0


02. “Drug Head”
! >>> Sounds good; beat almost sounds like “My Dougie”, though. LOL @ tha English hook for this content, automatically admittin’ ‘bout those drugs, lol. A lil’ bit of Young Wee-zo “Pills” remake on tha 2nd verse, which ain’t too bad, either… My Rating: 4.1


03. “What I Want” Feat. Ms. Intoxicated
She’s a “Ms.”, according to what she says (not a “Mrs.”). >>> What does “major” mean to you? Sounds catchy wit tha shit you’re bringin’ to tha table; nice hook from tha hot-soundin’ Ms. Intoxicated! LOL @ how you sound on tha 2nd verse wit tha cockiness… I don’t really like tha “BET” line; sounds kinda mainstream, but also, it’s not like they’re even special, now, in 2011! Tha rest from you sounds like tha same shit goin’ on, here, too; decent/good… My Rating: 3.9


04. “Keep It Real With Yoself” Feat. Goozie Goo & Foxx
Forgot to combine “Yo” with “Self”; compound word. LOL, Foxx already? Of course, this CD had ta have him. >>> An online beat for a Foxx feature, lol? Sounds okay; I thought it would be more depressin’ wit this not-so-special beat… Tha 1st verse sounds like you have a good perspective on keepin’ it just to yourself, Dog… LOL, this sounds too soft for Foxx to have his high energy on; odd mix, but it goes, I guess. My Rating: 3.5


05. “Rite Now” Feat. Foxx
Anotha Foxx feature, so fast? >>> Sounds like it could’ve went on that CD I just reviewed of his. Anyway, it’s good/okay for a “fuck” song; nothin’ much for me to say. My Rating: 3.7


06. “Drug Talk” Feat. Foxx & Hurk
LOL, anotha one?! >>> Finally, a new person (Hurk), doin’ a nice job on tha hook wit this 2nd “drug” song, lol. Foxx’s good wit his energy, as always; nice 1st verse. LOL @ you and your “drug”-ass on tha 2nd verse; wonder how hard it iz to get these drugs? Tha 3rd verse iz Hurk, comin’ through wit some good shit. LOL, she knows about how ta handle gurls and gettin’ “loaded,” even though this tha 1st time I heard him? Odd wit this automatic ability, but it sounds good… My Rating: 3.8


07. “Let It Go” Feat. HD
>>> Awful start/hook; why iz it so long??? Too much singin’; not for me! My Rating: 1.3


08. “Hey Baby” Feat. Goozie Goo
>>> LOL @ how you say, “Goozie Goo.” I like tha lil’ reggae-soundin’ hook; hope y’all didn’t jack tha style from somebody (e.g., Kevin Gates)! You sound like you have a familiar flow, here, on tha 1st verse; catchy… You’re even on tha 2nd verse, too? Nice job, again; I guess Goozie’s on tha hook wit tha new voice? My Rating: 3.9


09. “Outta Town” Feat. Goozie Goo
>>> Damn, a new beat tag for Lil’ Cal? Even worse, it’s two lines; rather tha previous one (two lines or not)! But, it’s soundin’ hot; glad ta hear some original production like this… I like how tha hook sounds, here; damn, don’t say, “money,” since I hate hearin’ about rappers talkin’ about it, especially if I’ve neva done services wit tha people! Sounds like an okay/good 1st verse from you, here… LOL, Goozieless on tha 2nd verse, since it’s you; I always think he gon offer more than just a hook… Anyway, I wonder how you got all this “outta town” shit; izn’t it really hard? I wouldn’t know where to begin. My Rating: 4.0


½time: A 3.6-rated CD, currently; one dealbreaker, a few that are decent, and a few good jointz.


10. “Mafia” Feat. Foxx
>>> Sounds good for a slower-produced song for tha streetz, although I dunno ‘bout this 5:12 length… You comin’ through wit some shit for tha hood, even though you say you “went commercial”? Foxx has some good energy, again; feelin’ tha consistent flow! My Rating: 3.8


11. “Eat U From Da Back” Feat. Mz. Tequi
LOL @ this title. >>> Sounds funny; nice moanin’ from Tequi, includin’ tha “do me like dat” parts! She could sound like any age wit her voice; nice and unique! You good wit cumin’ (lol) thru for Tequi, here, and she’s soundin’ pretty good, too. Definitely a plus wit these lyrics, of course; can’t deny ‘em! My Rating: 4.2


12. “Muggin’ In Tha Club” Feat. Sam I Am
LOL @ tha random features! At least they’re different people that I really like! >>> Of course, A+ on tha hook from Sam I Am, even though it sounds recycled, a lil’? LOL @ Sam I Am’s references to you; sounds cool, especially wit how he keeps it goin’ on tha 1st verse! You sound pretty good on tha 2nd verse, too; nice lil’ joint, here, wit nothin’ wrong wit it! Definitely a nice vibe for what’s been goin’ on wit this CD! My Rating: 4.4


13. “U Wanna Leave” Feat. R. Jay
>>> Not tha moanin’ I “wanna” hear; rather hear Tequi, but this could’ve been worst… Your rhymes ain’t too bad, here; what’s up wit everyone and these “doing wrong” thoughts? Nobody’ll ever be married in BR? SMH… My Rating: 2.9


14. “Face In Tha Pillow”
>>> Sounds like it could be good; too bad no female on tha feature to help you out, though. LOL, a short song that sounds good for tha ladies, here… My Rating: 3.7


15. “Wateva” Feat. Tech & $hizz
Yes, a different collab! >>> Sounds like tha style I used to really like from you; nice hook and production goin’ on, here! LOL, sounds like you’re all prepared for pussy-asses, lol; eva fear tha hood? LOL, Tech came outta nowhere; sounded a lil’ funny and odd when he said, “Milliyone Musik,” lol. Always a unique flow from Tech; glad he came through fa this CD! LOL, Yung $hizz randomly appeared on tha song, comin’ through wit some tightness! Whoa @ this “40 glock” shit, outta nowhere; glad I haven’t seen a gun since January 23, 2008! My Rating: 4.5


16. “Sweet Thang” Feat. J.R. Coldblooded
>>> This ain’t too bad wit tha beat and tha singin’; good for tha ladies… My Rating: 3.3


17. “Grandma”
>>> Kinda long on tha length and it sounds quiet… Not sure what’s up wit tha hook and tha random voice; I’m likin’ tha beat for a slow song, here. Usually, I can’t feel peoples’ emotions, but I’m able to feel yours, here; nice job wit tha true emotions. Not really my kinda song, but good job wit it, though. My Rating: 3.1


18. “Thank’n ‘Bout My Past”
>>> No wonder it says, “mixtape,” in tha ID: a jacked beat. Don’t really wanna hear you on an East Coast, Diplomats-soundin’ beat. “I’m only 19;” was this recorded in 2004 or somethin’, when you were “19”? Wait, “I’m 22, now;” now, it’s 2007? Okay, but no interest wit this beat. BTW, it’s “past,” not “pass.” My Rating: 3.0


Overall: Not as great as I expected it to be, but at least tha features came through for you.
