Review #1,937: B.T. Da Hound "Dead End Capital"

Reviewed on 6.29.2020 (Review #1,937)


As I continue ta review, up next, I have B.T. Da Hound Dead End Capital, courtesy of Ouristory Entertainment! Originally unsure of who exactly B.T. Da Hound was, I was always confused at tha B.T. from tha late Big Markee’s Shop Shutters Group vs. this B.T. Da Hound dude & tha questionable “B.T.” from tha old Young Ready & Savage tracks. Once I got it cleared up wit B.T. Da Hound, I realized that B.T. from tha Shop Shutters iz just “B.T. (Shop Shutters)”, while tha B.T. on tha old Young Ready & Savage jointz iz B.T. (Da Hound). With that bein’ said, anything I promote of B.T. Da Hound gon be labeled as “B.T. Da Hound”, to prevent any confusion. Now that we got dat cleared up, let’s do dis…!! Start Time: 1:54 PM | End Time: 2:35 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. “Kill Me Down”
>>> Almost wasn’t sure about tha sample, at first. However, I’m diggin’ how it continuously repeats in tha background, here… Hearin’ what you got on tha verse, here & I’m diggin’ your consistency on tha rhymes. Sounds good, tho I’ono how many times I can tolerate a northeast-soundin’ vibe on this release… We’ll see as I get ta hear tha rest of tha tracks… Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; I digz how you expressin’ their jealousy of you, here. Just like you, I got people havin’ jealousy issues wit me, where I’m at. That’s why, I’m tryna make da move…! My Rating: 3.7


02. “Stalk”
>>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ beat fa tha south, off tha start, here… Hearin’ what you got in tha beginning & it cool; I digz what you got. Hearin’ tha hook & I’m likin’ how you “Stalk” on they bitch-asses, here; good shit…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight; decent flow/vibe, here… I like tha “red eye, wit red eyez” line; you know it all about dat red!! My Rating: 3.9


03. “Church”
>>> Sounds like a catchy beat start; hope this sounds pure… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds catchy, mainly fa how tha beat sounds. Only five words ta describe tha hook, here: “Take ‘em to da church;” gotcha. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good. Like I previously said, tha catchiness of tha beat’s overshadowin’ everythang else… An uncredited dude on tha 2nd verse, here? Dude sounds good ta collab witchu, here; 225 fa lyfe!! Lemme know who featured on dis bih…! My Rating: 4.2


04. “Self-Hate”
>>> A laidback vibe, here; I feel tha chillness… Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; once again, it’s based off of five words, lol: “You thank you foolin’ somebody…” After 1:18, we finally have tha 1st verse & it sounds cool. I like tha party/good times vibe you bringin’ to tha lyrics, here, ova this chill beat; good shit…! When I hear you say tha “10 & tha 85,” I keep thinkin’ of you born in ’85, fa some reason, lol… Tha rest of this kinda drags on fa a while but it’s tha chill mode you’re in, here… My Rating: 3.8


05. “Soon As I’m Up”
>>> Beat str8, here; a lil’ bit of a chill/regular vibe, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it str8; glad you got tha hood on lock… Hearin’ tha hook & it aight; don’t got much ta say about it… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it aight; again, not much ta say, as this keeps on goin’… I do agree wit tha hook wit tha “by myself” shit. It’s like, I feel like I’m more inta “shmokin’ wit myself” & all dat (unless I’m in Louisiana & there’s plenty of social activity). Long-ass beat outro, here; 93 seconds! Iz this called tha break where you’re either shmokin’ on good or chokin’ from dat good? Lol…? My Rating: 3.5


06. “Blacc Luv”
>>> More chill shit, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight; don’t like ta get a sad vibe off of hearin’ music, tho. I’ono, kinda feelin’ bored wit this one, includin’ how tha uncredited singer sounds, on tha hook. Yeah, tha deaths be sad; I just don’t like hearin’ sad shit, especially since my brother died, a ½ decade ago. Also, 1:14 remaining & I hear a beat outro? Anotha long one with tha beat outro…? Also, dat “Jacob” dude on tha beat tag need ta get tha fuck off tha tags! My Rating: 2.6


½time: Seems like a decent release, here… A lil’ on a different level fa me, between laidback tracks & not much Rouge-soundin’ tracks… For tha ½time rating, we’re currently at a 3.6 fa this release; how will we continue…?


07. “Get Better, Do Better”
>>> Sounds like Queen Latifah’s beat in tha beginning, here? Then again, if I bought these off digital platforms, wouldn’t there be no such thang as jacked beats? Hearin’ tha 1st verse & your rhymes cool; beat sounds so dead, tho… At :49, it starts ta kick in & it cool. This sounds more like a weed/high vibe, production-wise & then, tha lyrical/street shit on tha rappin’; interestin’ mix… Sounds like an okay/simple hook; why iz this 6:12, tho? Wouldn’t that set of #’s look betta like tha old Webbie song (“6 12’s”)? Okay, so it sounds like an outro/shout-out list? Sounds more like it coulda been tha last song instead of tha 1st song ta kick-start tha 2nd ½… Likin’ tha chill-type beat, tho, so I’ll pretend this an outro track than fully criticizin’ it fa its long length, in tha middle of this release… My Rating: 3.0


08. “Lit LifeStyle”
>>> Less than two minutes, here, with a more upbeat version of tha laidback beats… Hearin’ tha hook & it aight; let’s see what gon pop off wit da verse… Hearin’ tha verse & I’m feelin’ how your flow sounds like tha Rouge/southern vibe, in your voice/delivery; good shit. My Rating: 3.6


09. “Dead End Capital”
>>> *That moment where tha sample iz tha same as Diplo & SIDEPIECE’s “On My Mind” joint…* Well, well, well; where iz this gonna go wit me…? I kinda like tha sample in tha background, here, wit an okay hook. Hearin’ what you got fa tha verse & it sounds good; I digz it… My Rating: 3.4


10. “The Heart”
>>> Almost was afraid you were gonna have an auto-tune shitshow, based off tha beginning. However, hearin’ you on tha verse & it cool wit how you spit this street shit. Beat ain’t bad, here; sounds like it wants ta speed up wit tha kicks & hi-hats? Kinda teases me but for tha most part, it’s a decent mix… Tha hook’s pretty intense, with its topic: “I’ont thank God can take mo down…;” yeah, err-body gotta stay alive! My Rating: 3.2


11. “The Hound”
>>> I like your southern voice/flow on this one, this time, tho these beats are too dry & sappy… Tha verse ain’t bad; props fa speakin’ your mind… Hearin’ tha hook & it ehh; not really feelin’ how you sound, on tha vocals… They were better wit tha organic-soundin’ verse, tbh… My Rating: 3.3


12. “BRC Lyfe”
>>> Again, almost got afraid of tha beginning wit how tha voice sounded… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & it cool; once again, great wit how you sound but dry wit tha production… Hearin’ tha hook & it aight; thought it woulda had more of a “BRC” sound, hence tha title… Regardless, it’s okay; sometimes, you sound lost wit tryna vocalize? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & I feel ya wit your “trust” issues, as far as tha 225 goes; good content… My Rating: 3.1


13. “Still Jungle Living (FreeStyle)”
>>> Sounds like an okay beat, here; feelin’ what you got goin’ fa tha 1st verse, here. Whether this just a “FreeStyle” or not, it sounds betta than almost tha whole release, here. Hearin’ tha horns in tha beat & this official, as far as tha production! See, this tha shit you need! Like I said in tha beginning, it’s cool ta have one lil’ laidback track ta get high to. However, you gotta have dis shit! Tha Baton Rouge-soundin’ beat goes over real well wit your street content; definitely a plus! A lil’ outro toward tha final minute, here… Oh, those horns! Instantly, Big Fancy & Nu$$ie come to my mind!! Not too sure which song I gon add to my playlist, first, but this a good contender! My Rating: 4.3


Overall: A decent lil’ review, with a lotta laidback tracks, tho… Regardless, you caught my attention tha most wit tha final joint on here. Not too many times do I review & tha last joint iz tha top-rated joint. Either way, take my advice: Tha way you arranged that last joint, between tha Baton Rouge sound & your Baton Rouge flow, iz what I like best. Go ‘head & jigg, pop somethin’, shmoke somethin’ but do it fa tha hood!! Real glad you consider me a “Baton Rouge legend;” I gotta keep it movin’!!
