Reviewed on 6.09.2011 (Review #991)




Review #7 for today iz J-Dawg “Dawg House”; lookin’ forward ta hearin’ what he’s got ta offer, once again!! Start Time: 9:33 PM | End Time: 9:57 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. 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. “Bombs Away” Feat. Insane
Should be a great combo!! >>> Beat sounds good; can’t wait ta hear tha incredible rhymes!! Tha start sounds catchy and consistent… Ooh, hearin’ some gangsta shit; this iz gettin’ betta by tha bar! Nice job wit tha sound effects, too; catchy shit, here! LOL, tha hook gives me a West Coast feel wit this beat and how tha vocals are; feelin’ tha “nigga, bombs away” shit! Great collaboration between all tha shit goin’ on; all about dem “bombs,” lol! My Rating: 4.4


02. “Revolution” Feat. Che
How will this go? >>> Yes, darker-soundin’ vocals wit a great delivery!! Tha hook’s real tight wit this “9th Ward” chantin’ and err-thang goin’ on!! Tha 1st verse iz pretty serious!! Gangsta-ass, Mystikal-soundin’ dude, comin’ through wit some serious shit!!! LOL, tha 2nd verse’s voice almost threw me off but it’s not bad…; as long as tha content’s here, it’s all good! My Rating: 4.6


03. “Set It Off” Feat. Insane
>>> Sounds like a catchy, funky-soundin’ joint, here… Tha rhymes are catchy; y’all got this instantly-in-yo-face-type shit on lock! My Rating: 4.2


04. “What If?” Feat. Glu*z
Iz Glu*z a cuss word? What iz dat? >>> Sounds like a good intro; I like tha “you wonder why I smoke weed” shit… LOL, we wound up havin’ a “black president,” ironically; had ta wait 11 years, lol! I like tha “what if everyone was black just like me?” Real great thought!! Even though this iz more of a serious topic and this iz mainly delivered in a singin’ perspective, I think this iz hella catchy and great wit all tha “what if”s! My Rating: 4.3


05. “Everything Alright” Feat. TLT
Do I know TLT? They don’t look familiar but let’s see what happens… >>> Must not know them; I assume they’re tha gurls singin’ on tha hook? Again, anotha song dat doesn’t typically sound fa me but I’m likin’ this; catchy topic, again! Here’s tha kick-ass rappin’ from you on tha 1st verse; definitely feelin’ tha fastness, mixed wit tha real-life content!! Lots of rhymes ta offer, huh? Definitely consistent wit err-thang, here!! LOL, four verses; can’t hold it in, lol? My Rating: 4.2


06. “Ghetto Wars” Feat. Hasheem & Kareem
Looks like catchy artist names; lemme hear dis! >>> Almost looks like a familiar title but this must be somethin’ I haven’t heard… Tha beginning was nice but fuckin’ damn, what a crazy-ass 1st verse!!!!! Hella fast and tha rhymes are kick-ass!!!!! LOL, tha 2nd verse got slower but tha attitude and pride of rappin’ didn’t fade!!! Tha 3rd verse sounds a lil’ smoother wit tha delivery but once again, thumbs up fa keepin’ tha content of these “wars” alive!! My Rating: 4.7


07. Interlude (You Got My Money?)
LOL, what a quickie! >>> Yes, demandin’!! Fuck those that delay money!! In a typical hood presence, they should be killed, right? My Rating: N/A


08. “I Fronted U…”
Looks like a serious title, especially wit tha dots! >>> Yes, sounds good wit this New Orleans-type beat dat I really like, as well as tha kick-ass rhymes and content from you!!! Ooh, tha hook’s nice wit this voice and tha “uh oh” chantin’ in tha background!! Shit yea, “I fronted u…” iz right!!! Damn, this iz an anthem fa tha cheap ones dat say they’re ‘gettin’ money!’ Shit, there’s this one dude I know dat was makin’ fun of someone, sayin’ they weren’t gettin’ money. However, they couldn’t even pay me $20 for somethin’; fuckin’ cheap cunt! Glad you got a bunch of verses and unlimited content ammo ta keep a full plate!! Good-soundin’ song; keep ‘em up!!! My Rating: 4.7


½time: Of course, tha Dawg knows how ta hold it down!! A 4.4-rated CD, currently; you have tha potential of havin’ a five-star-rated CD automatically!!!!


09. “Mind Of A Menace”
>>> LOL, fade-in intro? Sounds hella funny, especially since there’s fast-ass rappin’ goin’ on, lol!! Really feelin’ tha kick-assness, once again; sounds like a smooth beat wit a fast vibe, which iz interestin’!! Tha hook sounds good, too; what else can I say about dis? You holdin’ err-thang down!! Gotta luv tha drug-related content, too! My Rating: 4.6


10. “Cold Blooded”
Keepin’ it goin’… >>> Looks familiar and sounds good, quiet style, lol. Ooh, here you come through wit tha great rhymes!!! Damn, nothin’ but dat consistentness comin’ through from you, deliverin’ tha rhymes ta tha ones dat are livin’ dat “cold blooded” life!!! My Rating: 4.7


11. “Stuck In Misery”
>>> Hook sounds catchy but you already know, tha fastness from you comes outta nowhere as well as tha kick-ass rhymes!!! “I feel I’m betta off dead;” good line—gotta luv tha song by The Sounds of dat title, too! Glad you’re a huge representa fa tha 504, here, bruh!! Nothin’ but a pure-soundin’, J-Dawg song to tha fullest!!! My Rating: 4.6


12. “Freak Nasty (Remix)” Feat. Playboy Shaburnke
Let’s hear dis collab! >>> Beat sounds catchy wit this hook… I’m likin’ your delivery on this joint, too; all about tha nastiness, lol! Rhymes are catchy, too, fa dis topic and Playboy Shaburnke sounds like a Mannie Fresh, lol. My Rating: 4.4


13. “Putcha Cream On It!” Feat. Storm
What’ll this be like? Looks like a sequel to tha previous song… >>> Oh, Storm’s a gurl? She sounds aight; sounds a lil’ focused, here… LOL, too long of a verse from her? Damn, no verses from you; a lil’ boring… My Rating: 3.5


14. “Don’t Look 4 Me”
Let’s hear you, now! >>> Sounds like a smooth hook; not bad… Tha consistent rhymes are back; glad you’re doin’ tha damn thang wit this rappin’! Tha other songs sounded betta wit betta, more-consistent rhymes, but this iz still good. My Rating: 4.1


15. “Spirit Of A Thug”
Looks like a serious title; I hope ta hear nothin’ but tha hottest from you! >>> Sounds like a good beat and tha hook’s pretty nice wit this flow; my boy Lil’ Witness sounds a lil’ like dis… Rhymes sound consistent although I thought they’d be a lil’ fas—oh wait, they are gettin’ faster! Glad you got tha verses on lock wit dis shit; undeniable!! Nice job wit tha last verse, by tha way; content iz a must! My Rating: 4.3


16. “Tell Me (Do You Still Care)”
>>> Not bad wit tha female although it could sound like a remake of some vocals in tha past… Rhymes are catchy, here; definitely some shit fa tha hood ta enjoy, ya dig? Good rhymes; holdin’ tha whole joint down wit this mysterious lady on tha hook, lol! My Rating: 4.2


17. “Up Next G-Quikk (Outro)” (G-Quikk)
Let’s see what he gon offer! >>> Whoa, lol!! What a great way ta fade shit in!!! I assume this iz just him, not him featuring you? Nice job wit how he comin’ through on this verse!!! Nothin’ but hella-consistent, fast-ass rhymes!!! LOL, it went to anotha song? Must be tha actual “outro,” lol; good dialect, as I’m anticipatin’ some smokin’-type shit, lol! My Rating: 4.7


Overall: Too bad for tha song wit just Storm on it; if you would’ve rapped on it, you prolly could’ve had an automatic, five-star-rated CD! Either way, you kick buku ass and I believe I have anotha CD I’m about ta review of yours, up next!!
