Review #1,909: Toez "All I"

Reviewed on 12.27.2019 (Review #1,909)


Time to get to a review before I sleep… Got Toez All I, up next, released in 1999 on 2 Loaded Records & was produced by Christopher Mason! Also, if I’m not mistaken, this may be tha smallest an artist album title iz, in my marathon! Includin’ spaces, Toez All I iz only 10 characters long!! Start Time: 6:21 AM | End Time: 7:12 AM


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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Intro
>>> Trippyness: Tha last review I did, Tim Smooth’s Let It Be Written, ended 12 hours ago, last night, at 6:21 PM. Now, this one’s startin’ 12 hours later, at 6:21 AM! Not to mention, 6/21’s my birthday! Trippy vibes!! Likin’ tha lil’ Beethoven beat keys! My Rating: N/A


02. “Falling”
>>> Sounds pretty dope wit this beat, as it’s tha sequel to tha intro beat! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s real dope wit this beat & your southern voice; gotta luv it!! Tha luck of tha 6:21?! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s nice, especially when you say, “Bruh;” dope shit… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & you keepin’ this hood shit goin’ & goin’ definitely nice!! My Rating: 4.7


03. “The People Ain’t Playing” feat. Lil’ Jinks
>>> Likin’ your intro, especially wit all these “bruh” parts; good shit! Tha beat gets you hyped & in tha mood fa tha streetz, here! Tha hook’s pretty intense, especially wit tha sirens! Jokes aside, here!! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s a feature? Gotta look it up! *Checks online…* I didn’t have luck with tha tracklisting on Discogs but I heard you say, “Jinks,” on tha 2nd verse; let’s go with him! It’s a good lil’ collab, as “Jinks” did a nice job & you held it down, as well…! My Rating: 4.3


04. “Radio”
>>> “On The Radio” or “Radio”, here, as far as tha title goes; decent hook & beat… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & it sounds good fa tha hood; nice job… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s nice; mo shit, here, as this continues… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s pretty nice; keep it goin’… My Rating: 3.7


05. “Keep It Real”
>>> Sounds good wit tha hook, here, as well as tha beat; good shit… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good; keep reppin’ fa tha hood, here…! Sounds like a feature on tha 2nd part of tha 1st verse? Dude got lots of “luv” fa they “niggaz,” here & they have a rapid-flowin’ flow goin’ on, here! They call them “Gangsta?” Got tha 3rd verse goin’ on, here & it sounds good wit you on it, reppin’ nicely… Got mo from tha featured artist comin’ through, spittin’ flamez…! This anotha track not on tha tracklist on Discogs; what gives? My Rating: 4.0


06. “All I”
>>> Luvin’ tha chokin’ in tha beginning; I miss chokin’! Beat’s pretty nice & undaground-soundin’, here, fa tha mysterious…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you & it sounds nice wit ya gutta-ass! A long, str8-up verse fa this track & then, a hook; sounds nice, no matter how this track’s formatted… My Rating: 4.1


07. “Till I Close My Eyes”
>>> Tha previous song? Oh, a sequel; sounds nice, still! Likin’ this hook & tha beat sounds betta…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good; feelin’ what you got wit yo “soulja rag,” here… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here & it’s pretty nice; good shit! Got tha 3rd verse goin’ on, here & it’s pretty nice, as you keep it goin’… My Rating: 4.2


½time: Sounds like a dope lil’ CD, here; feelin’ what you bringin’ fa tha N.O.! A 4.2-rated CD, so far; keep it goin’!!


08. “It’s A Shame” feat. Kimberly “Miss Kim” Gabriel
>>> Sounds good wit this beat & intro; crazy how you say, “New millennium,” when tha “new” decade gon be in five mo dayz!! Crazy! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s ehh with this female; not sure how I’d feel it, overall… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it ain’t bad wit what you got goin’ on, here… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here & it’s okay but this track really ain’t up my alley… My Rating: 3.1


09. “W”
>>> Feelin’ tha G-Funk beat, here…! You hype up tha anticipation wit tha intro, as well; good shit! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & you sound consistent wit tha rhymes/hood story; definitely nice & swampy! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s dope, I guess? Thought it was gon be fa “Win” but it’s fa “BMW,” lol? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds nice ta hear; keep it up… Oh wait, you iz “throwin’ up this ‘W’,” in multiple wayz; nice! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s soundin’ good, as this funky G-Funk beat pulsates ova you; dope! My Rating: 4.4


10. “Toez” feat. Kimberly “Miss Kim” Gabriel
>>> Back to dat Kim chick on tha singin’, here… Beat sounds good & so does your 1st verse, here; nice job… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds catchy wit how she says your stage name; good job, I guess?

11. “If They Take Me”
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ beat fa tha smooth south… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & you got this hood shit on lock, once again; great job! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s nice! Hope “they” ain’t “take” you, yet! You gotta keep reppin’ hard fa tha streetz! Tha year 2020 iz near! Nice job wit tha 2nd verse & how you keepin’ up wit this shit, no matter what vibe…! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3rd verse & it sounds good; nice job wit how you keepin’ up, once again… Tha rest of this sounds good, as you keep it goin’… My Rating: 3.9


12. “Fresh Out The Parish” feat. Kimberly “Miss Kim” Gabriel
>>> Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through nicely as a “23”-year-old; good shit… Hearin’ tha hook & tha Kim chick sings Lauryn Hill & The Fugees, “la-la-la”in’; nice… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse & you got this shit on lock, once again; good beat ta rap on, especially wit tha sample of The Fugees! Got tha 3rd verse goin’ on, here & you keepin’ tha raps goin’; keep it goin’, keep it goin’! My Rating: 4.3


13. “Complications” feat. Michael Willis
>>> Beat sounds dope, as well as how you comin’ through on tha 1st verse, here… Sounds like a catchy, repetitive hook, especially since it’s about “Complications!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds good fa tha rough life. I’ve been there wit tha “pops not around” shit—couldn’t even visit me for Christmas, on house arrest, smh. Tha 3rd verse cool wit how this shit continues…; not bad… My Rating: 3.7


14. “The Final Chapter” feat. Red Wolf
>>> Sounds nice wit this beat, as well as tha intro from Wolf & tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds nice; I feel tha guttaville of tha N.O., here!

Just luv tha aggressive voice! My Rating: 4.3
