Review #1,936: Dolla Bill Da Last Man "Good Guy Bad Guy: Reloaded"

Reviewed on 6.29.2020 (Review #1,936)


Now that I’m 32, I’m gonna try & keep up wit some of these current reviewz more. I get continuously sidetracked when I’m tryin’ to complete a bunch of tha shit I need to complete. That’s why, I try & save these reviewz for tha end of tha month… With that bein’ said, here comes my 1st of four reviewz: Dolla Bill Da Last Man Good Guy Bad Guy: Reloaded, courtesy of Last Man Production! I know dude from tha dayz of producin’ fa Dog Da Cutthroata & Tech, as far back as ’09. Now, here comes this new release from my guy…! Start Time: 12:49 PM | End Time: 1:22 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. “420”
! >>> Beat aight; thought it was gon be more on a Baton Rouge tip but it okay for an anthem fa tha 420erz… Yeah, “that weed’ll make you stress-free in every way;” agreed! Likin’ how tha hook sounds wit tha hook; definitely feelin’ tha vibe! Speakin’ of “we gon shmoke like 4/20,” I was just thinkin’ ‘bout dat wit tryna get legendary Skull Duggrey up by me: “We gon shmoke like 4/20;” buku weed!! Can’t wait!! Fa now, hearin’ tha next verse & it sounds dope; I luv hotboxin’ “tha car,” ya dig? I’m likin’ how tha beat be soundin’; definitely nice! As far as it “legal in some places,” it “legal” fa me ‘cause of my Asperger’s syndrome, lower back pain & anxiety; I get it in!! My Rating: 4.3 (I know, it’s not a 4.2(0), lol…)


02. “Close 2 U”
>>> Not bad wit tha beat, here; kinda sounds like some throwback music from tha northeast? Sounds good wit tha 1st verse & how it’s a day in tha life of hangin’ wit da Dolla Bill; good shit… Tha hook a lil’ bleh fa me; attempted singin’? I’ono… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse & it str8; nothin’ much I can say ‘bout it… My Rating: 3.4


03. “Do It Dumb” feat. WNC Pooh
This oughta be 100% Baton Rouge? >>> Glad it iz, for tha start; can’t wait ta hear dis…! Don’t thank I know this WNC dude? Should be excitin’…! Yeah, totally feelin’ tha energy in tha hook & beat; 100!! 1,000!! Feelin’ what you got on tha 1st verse; luv tha anticipation of “dat pill kickin’ in,” ya dig? Can’t wait ta get inta tha right setting ta have myself a “kickin’ in” moment! Fa now, I be like dat wit my edibles; dat shit be da truth!! Great job wit comin’ through nicely on tha 1st verse, here! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha Pooh dude on tha 2nd verse, here; good shit! Gotta luv tha whole WNC crew; glad they gettin’ a good amount of undaground shine! Got a 3rd verse from you, here, comin’ through, “fulla weed;” definitely “up wit [you],” here! “Saucy, like a taco;” lol, get it in!! My Rating: 4.7


04. “I Kno Niggas” feat. Heata Boy
>>> Diggin’ tha chokin’ in tha beginning, tho not too sure about tha pitched sample. Either way, I’m likin’ this movie-sampled intro, here… Got you on tha 1st verse, here, soundin’ good wit your slower Baton Rouge flow; I digz it, in a way… Hearin’ tha hook and it aight; just a simple lil’ delivered hook, basically… Got dis Heata Boy on tha 2nd verse, here; feelin’ him betta than you on this track, here. Sounds good wit his voice/flow, as well as him sayin’, “Bruh;” 225 fa lyfe…! Gotta luv tha sounds of tha hood/streetz! “Live by tha G-Code;” nuff said! My Rating: 3.8


05. “Nuthin’ Wrong”
>>> Sounds like it samplin’/remakin’ R. Kelly wit his “Bump N Grind” shit, here… Beat a lil’ too slow fa me & tha voice effect spoils it fa me, like dead milk! No interest fa tha decent verse, due to tha turn-off of tha 1st minute… My Rating: 1.1


½time: Sounds like this release iz shakin’ up, here and there… A few tight jointz, as well as some decent & then, tha trashy auto-tune track… As this gumbo’d-up mix delivers, it’s currently at a 3.5 for tha ½time rating, currently…


06. “Why Dey Hate Me”
>>> Likin’ tha lil’ movie sample in tha beginning, here, as well as tha slow beat fa tha streetz… Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; I kinda dig how you sing-rap this shit… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight; can’t really get inta it too much, due to it sounds like err-body else, here. Tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ betta, here, as far as tha focused flow, here… Feelin’ your boosted energy, as well as how you mention “February,” as tha “short month,” lol. My Rating: 3.5


07. “FYC” feat. YPA
>>> Kickin’ it off wit a beat dat sounds totally fa tha northeast, here; not too sure if I’ll be excited, tho… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you & it aight; rather hear a Baton Rouge beat wit these rhymes, tho. It would bring my interest up a whole lot… Hearin’ tha hook & it aight; don’t really see this as a die-hard anthem, tho… Hearin’ tha YPA dude on tha 2nd verse, here & he got some catchy rhymes. I feel tha black power in our black dudes, str8 out da Rouge; keep it goin’…! “High-water Girbauds,” huh? If so, you already know you gotta keep da Bauds!! My Rating: 3.2


08. “Trust Me” feat. ArJay & Cutta
>>> Even tho I met ArJay on June 22, 2017, I can’t get inta his music/features/singin’. For one, tha voice effect should go & this hook. Then, I’d be able ta focus on appreciatin’ shit. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight; I like tha southern voice/flow but not this beat fa this… Ear-bleedin’ hook; ArJay, just be organic…! Hearin’ tha Cutta dude on tha 2nd verse & I ain’t feelin’ this voice. I would just skip/stop this shit by now but because this review’s short, I’mma just let it play… Regardless, it’s tha lowest rating, no doubt. My Rating: 1.0


09. “Shoot’em Up, Bang Bang”
>>> Gotta stay “bucked up & fucked up,” ya dig? Beat kinda on a weed-high/chill vibe, here, which ain’t bad but I wouldn’t’ve expected it… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight; I think tha gangsta/street vibe don’t 100% match this chill beat? Not that it’s bad; it’s like crossing two different types of vibes, tho. Hearin’ tha hook & tha gangsta vibe gives tha same vibe I got off tha 1st verse, here; I’ll take it… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & this chillsta (lol, made-up word I just made up) vibe aight, once again… My Rating: 3.7


10. “Reminiscing”
>>> Good subject matter fa “Reminiscing ‘bout tha old dayz,” tho too sappy & a lil’ sad fa me? Okay hook, sad-soundin’ beat & an okay/good 1st verse… “We go way back, like Nintendo;” of course, I’m playin’ some Super Nintendo, as we speak… (randomizer)! This not even ½way done, yet? Seems like it gon be too long… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it aight wit these memories; just a boring vibe fa me, tho. A 3rd verse, here & it okay; just not feelin’ this soulful, slow vibe… My Rating: 2.5


Overall: Seems like this review just barely hit tha three-star mark. Only two jointz I felt but one bein’ a Baton Rouge-styled track. A lil’ too many sappy/southernless-soundin’ tracks, which weakened tha average rating. I look at it like this: If I come to Baton Rouge, I expect a Baton Rouge sound. If I want some northeast-soundin’ shit, I’d go to tha northeast (which, sadly, that’s where I’m at). Either way, keep up tha grind; I bought this just ta show you da luv…
