Review #1,667: Doobie Smoov "Make The World Lean"

Reviewed on 3.03.2017 (Review #1,667)

Straight outta Alexandria, here goes my next review: Doobie Smoov Make The World Lean, released in 1998 on Suicide Records & was produced by Chris Jacobs, Brian Samuel, DJ Fry, Eric Whelan, Bass B & Bobby Smith! Start Time: 2:07 AM | End Time: 2:54 AM

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 and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “Make The World Lean” feat. Big Mal

>>> A fast-soundin’ southern beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s nice, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds like randomness, but it’s good… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s nice ta hear, too… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3^rd verse, as well, soundin’ nice, here… My Rating: 4.1

02. “Crunk21G” feat. Big Mal & H.A.W.K.

Sounds like a young H.A.W.K. at that! My Rating: 4.0

03. “Nasty Hoes”

>>> Sounds like a catchy track about them “nasty hoes,” here; good hook & beat! Diggin’ tha energy! Nice job wit tha 1^st verse, here, keepin’ it movin’… Now, we got tha 2^nd verse, here, and it sounds good, too… My Rating: 4.1

04. “I Don’t Give A Fuck” feat. Big Mal & 2Phace

>>> “I Don’t Give A Fuck”? Sounds like a smooth lil’ hook, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it ain’t bad, here… And, tha 2^nd verse has a nice lil’ H-Town feel to it, here… Don’t really have much ta say about these rhymes, since my track titles are mixed up, but it’s nice, overall… Nice lil’ bridge about tha “yellowbone,” lol… And, a 3^rd verse, soundin’ decent, here… My Rating: 4.0

05. “Smokefest”
>>> I’m really feelin’ this beat, here, wit how one of those sounds sound! Definitely a nice lil’ shmoke song, here!!

10. “Crunk”
>>> Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s decent wit this slow vibe… Sounds like a dope hook, here, but are all these titles pushed over by one (e.g., “crunk” on tha hook)? I’ono, but this how I got tha CD… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s not bad, here… I’m diggin’ tha high on tha 3^rd verse, here; good shit… If these titles ain’t right, I’ll have to fix it, one day… For now, I’m just reviewin’ it in tha order it’s in… My Rating: 4.2

Link To CD: N/A

01. Ready II Die

>>> Lol, just a five-second intro…; get ready fa dis gangsta shit! My Rating: N/A

02. “Mass Murder”
>>> Feelin’ tha beat, as it’s undaground and jammin’, at tha same time. Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and you got this shit on lock! Feelin’ how you holdin’ tha south down! Tha Xandria! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty anthemic about tha “shot!” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and you have tha consistent, gangsta rhymes on lock, here! Definitely diggin’ what you bringin’ to tha table! Tight, acapella shit from 2:27 – 2:31! Tha 3^rd verse pretty gutta, too; “it just won’t stop!” My Rating: 4.5

03. “Crunk”

Yeah! >>> Despite tha title, it’s laidback, here, but I’m feelin’ it! Nice lil’ slow beat throughout tha track, here, and tha 1^st verse’s pretty nice! Feelin’ how it almost sounds like you deliverin’ a paranoid-type flow, here, with tha lyrics! Even down to tha hook: I’m diggin’ it, despite it bein’ so opposite of “crunk,” lol! Really diggin’ it! I luv bein’ “crunk,” I luv bein’ “high,” I luv bein’ anything positive! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice ta hear, too… Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice, too! “What chu gon do when tha weed run out?” I know, right? You know how it be when you have a stressful job! Gotta shmoke in moderation! How’d I go nine dayz without, so far? Dem reviewz, lol! Still, workin’ six dayz a week, you need sum’n, sum’n!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3^rd verse and “five blunts.” That sounds nice but nothin’ like chillin’ wit this 49-year-old chick I know! We shmoked 6 ½ bowls on August 18, in honor of my boy, Percy Keith’s birthday (Baton Rouge rapper)!! Undeniable!! I think she shmoked one bowl more than me ‘cause I had a headache that day!! Yeah, I’m outdone, at times! Great job wit tha verse, tho! My Rating: 4.7

04. Without Sin

[No preview due to it played without me knowin’…] >>> Nice; great way ta lead inta “No Love”!! My Rating: N/A

½time: Excellent, dark, gangsta release, here! A 4.6-rated tape, so far!! Gotta luv how you handle tha tracks!! You know what I be diggin’, ya dig?!

05. “No Love”

>>> “Love” tha beginning with tha singin’ of tha title!! I remember radio-editin’ this! Definitely luvin’ tha dark beat, here!! Tha 1^st verse’s jammin’; makes me miss my radio show! Tha dark vibe! Tha dark station!! Can’t believe it’s been over four years!! Anotha rapper like Busta Rhymes, strictly hooked on dat “Courvoisier!!” Lol!! Tha actual hook sounds decent, here; feelin’ tha uncredited singer! Tha 2^nd verse’s nice; crazy wit tha “J-O-B!” Sometimes, it always makes me think, I wish I had my freedom back, instead of tha “J-O-B!” We’ll let time tell dat! My Rating: 4.6

06. “So Real”
>>> Beat’s nice and laidback; gotta feel it! These “rules” remind me of Biggie or somethin’; keep it goin’ wit tha 1^st verse! Tha hook’s catchy with tha singer, once again, holdin’ shit down! When I hear or see tha word, “Real,” I always think of my ex-connect, DJ B-“Real!” Always miss him every fuckin’ day and wish he would unblock me/reconnect wit me, already!! Anyway, keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, and it’s soundin’ nice, too… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3^rd verse and it’s soundin’ nice, as well; undeniable…! My Rating: 4.4

07. “Dream Of Death”

It’s sad how ever since my brother died, last year, this iz sadly what goes through my mind, especially while high! Time’s flyin’!! I’m fuckin’ 28!! >>> I can agree with my paranoia and tha vibe in tha beat, here! Definitely sounds nice and dark! Gotta luv how tha 1^st verse sounds! Definitely feelin’ your “drug dealers” “reality” that you be dealin’ with! I wish I was high reviewin’ this! I’m shmokin’ wit a chick 2morrow in 24 hours & 4 minutes, lol (7:05 PM)! I’m just in a hurry ta get these reviewz done while I work six dayz a week and do other shit, too (playlists, uploads, etc.)! Hook’s just a beat; definitely feelin’ it!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds like an uncredited feature? Either way, definitely excellent with how it sounds!! “Little does he know…;” excellent emotion at 2:38!!! Diggin’ this long-ass verse!! So glad it’s long and doesn’t end, too! This that quality shit that’s long! Like, really? It’s 6:03? Doesn’t seem like it!! My Rating: 4.8

08. “Breakdown”

>>> Back to tha laidback shit and I’m definitely feelin’ this slow hook! Definitely dat quality shit while high, ya know?! “Picture me paranoid;” excellent way ta describe tha 1^st verse!! Would I be afraid of tha clowns that are out, now? My move: Just keep it movin’! Don’t worry ‘bout shiiiiiit!! Only one verse? Really held it down fa only one!! My Rating: 4.3

Overall: Ain’t expect it ta end so fast, due to I thought there was anotha track, lol! But, definitely one of tha best releases I’ve reviewed recently, outta my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon!! Luved tha dark vibes, tha intense shit goin’ on, tha rhymes you brought to tha table & everythang else! Great job, Doobie Smoov! I know there’s anotha CD/tape of yours in my marathon, during tha ‘90s! Can’t wait ta review it! I know you still grindin’; keep it up!!

Got my 13^th mixtape compilation up next for review: FrankieThaLuckyDog Presents Tha Louisiana Archives Vol. 13: Tha DJ B-Real Aisle (Hosted by FrankieThaLuckyDog)! Named this CD after workin’ in my dad’s store, as well as tha growin’ connection I’m developin’ wit DJ B-Real. Start Time: 1:16 PM | End Time: 1:29 PM

If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it! After I was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

01. Intro

Let’s kick this ma’fukka off!! >>> Sounds pretty hot for an intro beat, courtesy of an unknown producer, lol! My Rating: N/A

02. “Throwed 16” Feat. T.Y.P. & Big Mal

Bobby Staxz on tha beat; let’s hear this collab! >>> Beat sounds like a regular production of today, which could be better—more Louisiana, I should say! But, these rhymes on tha 1^st verse sounds good, can’t complain… Tha 2^nd dude on this sounds okay; not bad… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse, and it sounds like this dude’s “on tha grind,” as he says. This iz startin’ ta be kinda mainstreamish… A singer on tha 4^th part? Flow’s okay, but I’m scared some a-tune might come out… However, I did like that it ended wit tha title. My Rating: 3.7

03. “Get Blowed”

Title track; Rouge 5 doin’ tha beat, here… >>> Sounds like nice music fa tha unknown; nice start, feelin’ like a ‘90s rapper once again! Definitely likin’ tha 1^st verse, and tha hook’s pretty nice; gotta “get blowed,” ya dig?! Who doesn’t? Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ good, too, strictly soundin’ tha way I want you to sound! Keep that undaground shit alive!! My Rating: 4.4

04. “No Mo”

Anotha Rouge 5 beat! >>> Likin’ tha beat start and this undaground atmosphere! Sounds like a good 1^st verse; tha fear of “runnin’ outta money!” I like how tha hook’s about not “runnin’ from tha police no mo;” good shit! Tha beat’s nice and quiet wit not much goin’ on; it doesn’t have ta be tha tightest beat in tha world ta catch attention ‘cause it’s catchin’ lots of attention, here! Sometimes, you sound a lil’ like Young Bleed on this track; I’m diggin’ it! Fat Pat-soundin’ 2^nd verse? Has a Texas voice/feel to it, and I’m feelin’ it, once again!! My Rating: 4.5

05. “Still Smoking” Feat. Big Hawk, Big Pokey & DJ Michael 5000 Watts

Rouge 5 beat! H-Town in tha buildin’; this should be interestin’… >>> Wow, sounds like a nice revival fa H-Town wit tha Mike Watts beginning! Good shit in tha 1^st verse; reppin’ nicely, from H-Town ta tha Boot! Tha hook sounds nice; gotta luv anything ‘bout “smoking,” ya heard me?! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good wit this interestin’ voice; undaground at its finest!! Big Pokey on tha 3^rd verse? Sounds great for a collaboration!! I know Mon Mack, my boy outta Baton Rouge, iz cool wit Big Pokey, too… My Rating: 4.6

06. “Lift Weight” Feat. E.S.G. & Kevin Gates

Rouge 5…; looks like an anticipatin’ collaboration, once again, from H-Town to tha Boot! >>> Very nice beat, here!! Tha hook’s real interestin’ wit how it sounds; good-ass shit!! Startin’ wit E.S.G. on tha 1^st verse; sounds real nice ta hear him, once again! Seems like he neva disappoints; always holdin’ down tha streetz!! Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I discovered him; where’d tha time go??? Here’s you on tha 2^nd verse and it sounds like you got an H-Town blend in your voice, here; figures, you can camouflage into anything on tha track! That’s a plus! We got Kevin Gates on tha 3^rd verse, and this iz more like it fa him! I know he’s been attemptin’ to capture a mainstream audience wit his new music, but this sounds like tha undaground Gates that I knew!! Real nice rhymes, consistently! However, he jacked one of Nu$$ie’s songs or somethin’ wit tha “rocket launcher” part; went on for a few lines, but it fits this undaground environment! My Rating: 4.7

½time: Definitely feelin’ this CD, so far!! Of course, if I purchased it, you know it had ta be worth my money!! Lots of undaground vibes on this CD; major props fa it!!! So far, tha CD rating’s at a 4.4!!!!

07. “Drug Game”

Rouge-to-tha-5 on tha B-to-tha-E-to-tha-A-to-tha-T!! >>> Nice beginning; glad you’re not in a sellout perspective fa dat 2012!! Nice job wit tha 1^st verse; you deliverin’ nothin’ but dat G-shit fa tha streetz!! Fuck all those mainstream, soft-ass rappers! You got a voice that’s still goin’ strong, no matter how old you are! You’re prolly at a key age of 32 – 37, right now; ain’t nothin’ wrong wit dat age range ‘cause tha people that fuck wit me at that age are usually legends!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds pretty good, too; keep spittin’, keep preachin’, keep doin’ you!! Tha 3^rd verse sounds real nice, too; talk about dat real-life shit, especially gettin’ “in tha car!” My Rating: 4.3

08. “Jig Bow” Feat. Big Mal & Bay Bay Ambassador

Bobby Staxz beat. A Bay Bay in tha buildin’, lol… >>> Nice intro; great shit from tha Bay Bay!! Ehh, not that mainstream shit on tha 1^st verse! Neva mention “swag!!” E.S.G., where are you? Tha hook sounds okay for a club song, but it’s nothin’ strong or anythang… Tha 2^nd verse sounds too mainstreamish wit tha voice; not really into these lyrics too much… Finally, better lyrics in tha 3^rd verse about tha “parish.” My Rating: 3.1

09. “#1smelllikeaPound”

Rouge 5 beat; I like this title, lol! >>> Yes, back to tha undaground shit again!! Feelin’ this hook; I feel like I’m in tha ‘90s by hearin’ this!! I like tha hidden bounce bassline in tha background, too! Also, likin’ your rappin’ and fast style on tha 1^st verse, here; keep it up!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good to listen to, too! Smellin’ “like a pound” iz tha best way ta feel, ya feel me? *Goes and sniffs Doobie Smoov ta get a high, lol!* Tha 3^rd verse sounds good; a lil’ shorter, but you providin’ dat kush cologne to tha Gs, once again! My Rating: 4.4

10. “Out Of My Nose” Feat. Big Mal

Rouge 5 production; let’s hear this kinda title… >>> So far, a good intro; we’ll see how this kinda track prevails… Okay, tha 1^st verse sounds like it’s tha ‘90s, here; nice job… Even likin’ Mal on tha hook; anotha song about tha album’s title (Get Blowed)!! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too; who wouldn’t wanna get high wit you, Doobie? Would luv to kick it wit chu one day, bruh! Tha 3^rd verse sounds good, too, keepin’ this high shit goin’!! And, a lil’ extra part from Mal toward tha end; sniff, sniff, sniff!! My Rating: 4.5

11. “Don’t Test Me”

Rouge 5 track, again! >>> Sounds like a good album cut, for a start… Beat’s nice and quiet, focusin’ on your rhymes… Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ good, too, keepin’ tha shit goin’. Oh yea, tha hook sounds pretty nice wit intimidatin’ people; how can anyone mess wit you tha wrong way, Smoov? Good shit comin’ outta tha 3^rd verse, too; what else can I say ‘bout this track? My Rating: 4.2

12. “Say What” Feat. Pauleone Da Darkchild

Endin’ it wit a Rouge 5 beat; lookin’ forward to this feature! >>> Nice beat; I’m likin’ tha hook wit this, “say what? Fuck-nigga, say what (say what?)?,” shit… Good shit comin’ outta tha 1^st verse; sounds like you’re havin’ a party on this beat, but intimidatin’ tha otha dude hatin’! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too, lurin’ tha enemies to “tha Boot!” Yea, Darkchild comin’ through on tha 3^rd verse, “Louisiana style;” gotta include “Louisiana” in tha “style!!” He sounds good—nice and consistent wit dis shit!! He ain’t stoppin’; hope he has a great future wit dis rap shit!! Holla at me!! My Rating: 4.3

Overall: Well, this was a real good CD that I enjoyed a whole lot!! Except for two songs, this CD iz tha perfect example of a quintessential, undaground album of tha 2010s generation!! Yes, I said, “album,” not no dumb ‘mixtape!!’ Keep up tha great work, Smoov!! Keep thinkin’ undaground ‘cause peeps like me gon keep showin’ you respect!!
