Reviewed on 12.02.2011 (Review #1,088)

My 3^rd 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 2^nd 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 2^nd 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 1^st 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 2^nd “drug” song, lol. Foxx’s good wit his energy, as always; nice 1^st verse. LOL @ you and your “drug”-ass on tha 2^nd verse; wonder how hard it iz to get these drugs? Tha 3^rd verse iz Hurk, comin’ through wit some good shit. LOL, she knows about how ta handle gurls and gettin’ “loaded,” even though this tha 1^st 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 1^st verse; catchy… You’re even on tha 2^nd 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 1^st verse from you, here… LOL, Goozieless on tha 2^nd 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 1^st verse! You sound pretty good on tha 2^nd 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.
