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 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! 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. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your
vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

Ready II Die
>>>
Lol, just a five-second intro…; get ready fa dis gangsta shit! My Rating: N/A
02.
“Mass Murder”
>>> Feelin’ tha beat, as it’s undaground and jammin’, at tha same time. Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and you got this shit on lock! Feelin’ how you holdin’ tha south down! Tha Xandria! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty anthemic about tha “shot!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and you have tha consistent, gangsta rhymes on lock, here! Definitely diggin’ what you bringin’ to tha table! Tight, acapella shit from 2:27 – 2:31! Tha 3rd verse pretty gutta, too; “it just won’t stop!” My Rating: 4.5

“Crunk”
Yeah!
>>> Despite tha title, it’s laidback,
here, but I’m feelin’ it! Nice lil’ slow beat throughout tha track, here, and
tha 1st verse’s pretty nice! Feelin’ how it almost sounds like you
deliverin’ a paranoid-type flow, here, with tha lyrics! Even down to tha hook:
I’m diggin’ it, despite it bein’ so
opposite of “crunk,” lol! Really diggin’ it! I luv bein’ “crunk,” I luv bein’
“high,” I luv bein’ anything positive! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and
it’s soundin’ nice ta hear, too… Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice, too!
“What chu gon do when tha weed run out?” I know, right? You know how it be when
you have a stressful job! Gotta shmoke in moderation! How’d I go nine dayz
without, so far? Dem reviewz, lol! Still, workin’ six dayz a week, you need
sum’n, sum’n!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3rd verse and “five blunts.”
That sounds nice but nothin’ like chillin’ wit this 49-year-old chick I know!
We shmoked 6 ½ bowls on August 18, in honor of my boy, Percy Keith’s birthday (Baton Rouge rapper)!!
Undeniable!! I think she shmoked one bowl more than me ‘cause I had a headache
that day!! Yeah, I’m outdone, at times! Great job wit tha verse, tho! My Rating: 4.7
04.
Without Sin
[No
preview due to it played without me knowin’…] >>> Nice; great way ta
lead inta “No Love”!! My Rating: N/A
½time: Excellent, dark, gangsta
release, here! A 4.6-rated tape, so far!! Gotta luv how you handle tha tracks!!
You know what I be diggin’, ya dig?!
05.
“No Love”
>>>
“Love” tha beginning with tha singin’ of tha title!! I remember radio-editin’
this! Definitely luvin’ tha dark
beat, here!! Tha 1st verse’s jammin’; makes me miss my radio show!
Tha dark vibe! Tha dark station!! Can’t believe it’s been over four years!!
Anotha rapper like Busta Rhymes, strictly hooked on dat “Courvoisier!!” Lol!!
Tha actual hook sounds decent, here; feelin’ tha uncredited singer! Tha 2nd
verse’s nice; crazy wit tha “J-O-B!” Sometimes, it always makes me think, I
wish I had my freedom back, instead of tha “J-O-B!” We’ll let time tell dat! My Rating: 4.6
06.
“So Real”
>>> Beat’s nice and laidback; gotta feel it! These “rules” remind me of Biggie or somethin’; keep it goin’ wit tha 1st verse! Tha hook’s catchy with tha singer, once again, holdin’ shit down! When I hear or see tha word, “Real,” I always think of my ex-connect, DJ B-“Real!” Always miss him every fuckin’ day and wish he would unblock me/reconnect wit me, already!! Anyway, keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, and it’s soundin’ nice, too… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3rd verse and it’s soundin’ nice, as well; undeniable…! My Rating: 4.4

“Dream Of Death”
It’s
sad how ever since my brother died, last year, this iz sadly what goes through
my mind, especially while high! Time’s flyin’!! I’m fuckin’ 28!! >>> I
can agree with my paranoia and tha vibe in tha beat, here! Definitely sounds
nice and dark! Gotta luv how tha 1st verse sounds! Definitely
feelin’ your “drug dealers” “reality” that you be dealin’ with! I wish I was
high reviewin’ this! I’m shmokin’ wit a chick 2morrow in 24 hours & 4
minutes, lol (7:05 PM)! I’m just in a hurry ta get these reviewz done while I
work six dayz a week and do other shit, too (playlists, uploads, etc.)! Hook’s
just a beat; definitely feelin’ it!! Tha 2nd verse sounds like an
uncredited feature? Either way, definitely excellent with how it sounds!! “Little does he know…;” excellent emotion
at 2:38!!! Diggin’ this long-ass verse!! So glad it’s long and doesn’t end,
too! This that quality shit that’s long! Like, really? It’s 6:03? Doesn’t seem
like it!! My Rating: 4.8
08.
“Breakdown”
>>>
Back to tha laidback shit and I’m definitely feelin’ this slow hook! Definitely
dat quality shit while high, ya know?! “Picture me paranoid;” excellent way ta
describe tha 1st verse!! Would I be afraid of tha clowns that are
out, now? My move: Just keep it movin’! Don’t worry ‘bout shiiiiiit!! Only one
verse? Really held it down fa only one!! My
Rating: 4.3
Overall: Ain’t expect it ta end so
fast, due to I thought there was anotha track, lol! But, definitely one of tha
best releases I’ve reviewed recently, outta my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon!! Luved tha dark vibes, tha intense shit
goin’ on, tha rhymes you brought to tha table & everythang else! Great job,
Doobie Smoov! I know there’s anotha CD/tape of yours in my marathon, during tha
‘90s! Can’t wait ta review it! I know you still grindin’; keep it up!!
