Reviewed on 7.08.2019 (Review #1,806)

Hoping to have my 1^st day of work, today, at my new job! Before I get to dat, lemme get ta dis: Shizz Dollah Look What You Made Me Do, Vol. 3: Baby Edition review, courtesy of Pay The Producer Production & 3 Baby Entertainment! This iz Dollah’s posthumous release, right chea… Start Time: 8:15 AM | End Time: 3:31 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 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: 3-0

>>> Props on winning tha battle, with a “3” in tha score, of course! My Rating: N/A

02. “Clout Chaser”
>>> Comin’ through wit HardBody on tha beat, here (Kevin Rivers & Raheem Hightower); sounds like it gon be a good 1^st song on tha disc… Sounds like an okay hook; beat a lil’ quiet but starts to pick up… Sounds like a consistent verse you deliverin’, on tha 1^st verse; good shit, Shizz! Tha 2^nd verse comin’ through hard, as well, wit tha rhymes; definitely nice. My Rating: 4.0

03. “Boogie Man”
>>> Neil On Da Track! Sounds too mainstream fa me; not likin’ your voice on this one. Tha hook sounds like it’s tryna sell out wit tha beat and voice. Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and I’m not really diggin’ tha voice effects. I remember, back in 2012, when you was dealin’ wit Foxx, you went at me for tha auto-tune shit. It’s 2019 & I still say it’s shit! I’m just lettin’ this play; I don’t really have to say anything… My Rating: 2.4

04. “No Offense”
>>> “Just pay the guy!,” in tha background; shout out ta B-Real (and Kevin Rivers, on this one)! #JustPayTheGuy! Just sounds like a freestyle, so far, with not much goin’ on in tha beat. It’s just a good beat fa you ta let out rhymes on, basically. Mo fiya shit comin’ outta tha 2^nd verse, too; thumbs up fa keepin’ it up… My Rating: 3.7

05. “Let’s Be Serious”
>>> Sounds like a betta start wit tha beat, here; J Buc! Sounds like a good hook; definitely catchy and almost reminds me of Ready, from ’09 (“So Serious”)… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice, too; good goin’, Shizz! Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ good, too; keep tha good shit comin’ along! My Rating: 4.2

06. “Sex Slave”

Music video out now! Here goes my review for it, as I added it to my playlist, just yesterday (wasn’t sure if this review or da playlist was gon be first, at first). >>> B-Real on tha beat, of course. What I really like about this one iz your flow (of course, no gay voice effects provided); definitely sounds like a catchy hook. Reelin’ in da sex, on da real! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice. It’s always good to hear more-defining lyrics than just, “I fucked you.” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it sounds like you’re gettin’ caught up in that fast rappin’ that err-body tryna do, deliverin’ a verse. Kinda random, fa me; I’d rather be flooded with that floooow! My Rating: 4.2

07. “Boss Bitch”
>>> Not gonna comment on tha producer ($hop…); good, catchy lil’ track, between tha hook and what you deliver. My Rating: 4.1

½time: 8:34 AM; just gonna stop and go to tha job. If I get a break, I’ll continue this. For now, it’s an okay CD; a 3.8-rated CD. Original production sounds nice; just avoid tha auto-tune nonsense, B-Real! *Goes to work…* *Comes back at 3:16 PM…*

08. “Window Pain”
>>> J Buc on tha beat but not good wit how you soundin’, in your voice. To me, it’s a lil’ gay wit these “raindrops falling on [your] window;” nothin’ great wit da hook. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you and you sound slightly better; sounds more like celebrating-type lyrics than depressing? Kickin’ off tha 2^nd verse and it sounds like I’m hearin’ tons of recycled titles (“It’s Gone Get Better For Me”, “Make Time For You”); kinda bleh… Really, no more interest in this; some1 else coulda handled this beat betta. My Rating: 2.5

09. Skit

>>> It’s like he thinkin’ ‘bout death with how some have “died” where he at… My Rating: N/A

10. “Mad Man”
>>> J Buc beat, again; can it be betta? This sounds much catchier wit tha good “Sex Slave”-type flow and you sound good wit Magee on da beat (J Buc). Hearin’ what you got goin’ on wit tha 1^st verse and it’s good; “Sex Slave”, Part 2, at its finest… Sounds good wit what you’re bringin’ on tha 2^nd verse; gotta dig tha line, “Mane, it feels good to be a muthafuckin’ black man!” Ain’t dat right? I feel multiracial, at times, due to how well I’ve connected with people. My Rating: 4.2

11. “Stop Playin’”
>>> HardBody doin’ anotha beat, here… So far, hearin’ tha hook and it just sounds like a regular, mainstream-soundin’ song; ain’t nothin’ Baton Rouge/Louisiana about this, fa me… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and I’m not really diggin’ this flow. It’s just, rhyme, rhyme-rhyme-rhyme, rhyme; rhyme-rhyme-rhyme-rhyme-rhyme, rhyme, as it doesn’t stop. Gettin’ tired of rappers tryna shove so many words into one bar… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and it’s just random rhymes; can’t feel ‘em too much… Overall, a lil’ below decent for tha track; just anotha mainstream-soundin’ track… My Rating: 3.0

12. “It’s Gone Get Better For Me”
A repeat from Vol. 2, as I previously reviewed:

Sounds like a depressing vibe? Kinda likin’ this quiet-soundin’ [DJ B-Real] beat wit your story goin’ on… Not tha craziest but, it’s crazy how you said, “Only fear iz me dyin’, in my prime…” Who woulda thought you’d have a fatal heart attack at 27? I see you mentioned “Flag,” on tha 1^st verse. Yeah, free G.O.C.! Glad you produced his undaground hit song from [2017], “One Mo Time”! As far as tha rest of this, it aight; it iz what it iz… My Current Rating: 3.5

13. “Too Much On Me”

>>> Hitz Production track… Just not diggin’ tha auto-tuned voice on you; interest just drops too quick! Not really feelin’ tha hook; can see this goin’ down da trash… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it just sounds like every rapper turnt father. To me, it’s tha definition of a downfall; nothin’ new. Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse and it sounds betta wit tha lyrics, but we’re back to that 1,000-words-in-one-bar shit, smh. I do agree about bein’ “more of a man” when it comes to “goin’ through some shit.” I definitely have felt it this year! Don’t even feel tha pain of a sunburn, tbh! My Rating: 2.1

14. “Outro: Words From The Deacon”

>>> Definitely! “Keep workin’ till you get betta;” gotta! My Rating: N/A

Overall: Wasn’t really that great… Thumbs up fa havin’ original production but no features? Need to have more of that Baton Rouge sound in tha tracks than tha mainstream, typical-soundin’ shit you hear on every rapper’s tracks, these dayz. Also, coulda done without tha auto-tune; that’s why Shizz disliked me, back in tha day!
