Review #816: The Show "DOB: Downman On Back II"

Reviewed on 1.21.2011 (Review #816)


Tha next review I have for today iz The Show “DOB: Downman On Back II! Start Time: 10:35 AM | End Time: 10:59 AM


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. 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. “At Last”
>>> Tha beat ain’t too bad that you chose. Sounds like you doin’ a nice, catchy job wit tha rappin’! Pretty consistent; 18 bangaz on this CD ta keep it goin’! My Rating: 4.3


02. Skit
>>> Agreed on why so many rap and shit. My Rating: N/A


03. “Guess Who”
>>> A Stevie Drumma beat? Thought it would be one of those jacked beats but this iz good—good ear fa beats! Sounds like you’re a lil’ on tha grimy side here, lol. Go, Show, go! My Rating: 4.4


04. “Black & Red”
>>> LOL, tha title says it all wit tha beat! You doin’ ya thang on this beat; definitely catchy! My Rating: 4.1


05. “Closer To My Dreams”
>>> I don’t get why everyone’s usin’ this beat all of a sudden. It’s like, ’04 was so long ago; we’re in ’10 (wit this mixtape)! Regardless of tha distraction, tha consistent rappin’ iz good. Not likin’ how tha lady sounded on tha hook; didn’t even sound like Goapele in tha Early ‘00s. My Rating: 3.7


06. Skit 2
>>> Thanx for tha skit again. My Rating: N/A


07. “I’ll Be Waiting”
>>> I like tha pace on this; sounds pretty catchy! Oh, of course, it’s Stevie Drumma on tha beat! Very catchy and tha rappin’ iz on ‘n’ poppin’! My Rating: 4.4


08. “Tell Me How U Feel” Feat. Famous Stranger
>>> Anotha Stevie Drumma production! This iz anotha catchy song; good shit you spittin’, Show! You keep it goin’ to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.3


09. Show Drop
>>> Introducin’ a 17-year-old? Must be anticipatin’… maybe? My Rating: N/A


½time: A 4.2-rated Show mixtape; definitely consistent and on a betta tip!


10. “Walk In The Park” Feat. Cypher
>>> I hope I spelled his name right. I’ll check tha blog that I found this off of to make sure. This dude sounds pretty consistent; nice shit! However, hope he true for a 17-year-old. Damn, I just checked tha blog and this ain’t there; didn’t see his name. This iz a pretty-good collaboration; nothin’ but tightness! My Rating: 4.5


11. “Miss Me (Freestyle)”
>>> What’s up wit tha gay-ass hook? I thought you’re smart enough ta not have someone suckin’ dick to appear on your mixtape. BTW, for those that don’t know, I consider someone suckin’ dick equivalent to someone still usin’ A-Tune at this time! Luckily, tha gay shit didn’t appear again, so that’s a plus. You did a good job rappin’, though! My Rating: 2.9


12. “Free Mason (Freestyle)”
>>> Sounds much betta. See, now that there’s no gayness, tha rating’ll be normal again! Really consistent on this beat; good job! My Rating: 4.4


13. “Hard In The Paint”
>>> No “freestyle” in tha title? :confused Still sounds good, regardless; nice job. My Rating: 3.9


14. “Real Nigga Swag”
>>> SMH; I’ll skim through this! Prolly betta than anybody else could rap on it but way too silly for me/not my style! My Rating: 2.6


15. Show Drop
>>> Maybe you can do a drop fa my radio show one day. My Rating: N/A


16. “Love The Way U Lie”
>>> I think you should put tha “freestyle” in tha titles that have tha same titles although tha length iz longer so it’s not actually a freestyle. Even though a Pop perspective, this ain’t bad. SMH @ tha hook; what tha hell? My Rating: 3.1


17. “Never Give In”
>>> Even though this beat ain’t too bad, I don’t get tha need ta have a gay-soundin’ voice-sample in tha beat. Tha rappin’ ain’t too bad, either. Some of tha shit on here was betta, though! My Rating: 3.4


18. “This Game”
>>> What’s up wit tha long beat intro? At least it was not bad… Kinda decent; I don’t know what ta say… I’m actually likin’ how tha hook sounds wit tha female, too. My Rating: 3.7


Overall: Kinda slippery toward tha end but at least there were pluses, frequently.
