It’s
2019 & it’s my dawg, Doe-Doe’s birthday! Started tha year off as a
top-notch celeb till tha week after, where I got myself involved in some shit.
Now, as I’m tryna get back on tha right path, I have some free time to catch
up. Since tha untimely passing of Shizz Dollah, back on October 26, 2018, I had
some CDs of his that I didn’t get tha chance to review. Now, I have that time,
so here we go: Here goes my review for $hizz
The Chosen
One, Vol. 1, released in 2011 on Foxx’s Milliyone Musik. Start Time: 3:54 PM | End Time: 4:25 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 and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01.
“Intro”
>>> A “birthday” release, via “September 28th.” This 2011
so when I say that it sounds “typical,” tha “typical” iz referrin’ ta that
time. With that bein’ said, just regular-soundin’ rappin’, here… My Rating: 3.2
02.
“Local Rappers” feat. Foxx & Dog Da Cutthroata
>>>
A decent lil’ upbeat beat, here. Tha hook ain’t too bad but I’m feelin’ how you
repeat, “Let’s do it, let’s do it; let’s do it, let’s do it…” Hearin’ you on
tha 1st verse and it sounds like you got some random rappin’ goin’
on, at times, despite keepin’ it upbeat… Luv how Foxx iz always upbeat, via tha
2nd verse; good aggression, as always…! As far as Dog bein’ featured
on this, I know y’all made a Milliyone connection, back then. To me, it’s
semi-random, semi-undaground; that’s what I consider him rappin’, here… My Rating: 4.2
03.
“Bob My Head”
>>> Sounds like a way for you to avoidin’ tha dancin’, here; good hook, tho. Crazy wit you and tha “Watson after
Watson,” on tha 1st verse (shout out ta Doe-Doe & his last name;
pilLLLlllLllllLlzzZZZzzZzzzZZ)! Beat nothin’ special, with not much Louisiana sound to it
but I think you did a good job wit this one… Strictly goin’ ham on tha 2nd
verse, here, as far as how far you’re willin’ ta take it! It sux that you took it too far, tha day you passed. It
happened to my brother, it happened to you; it sux…! My Rating: 3.7
04.
“Hit It In The Morning”
>>> A slower track… Not that crazy about this but at least you’re
depictin’ a sex scene, here. I like tha line, “One night stands played out;
Nintendo.” As far as tha hook you chose, I guess it goes wit it… All about dem hitz… My Rating: 3.0
05.
“That Nigga”
>>> Okay beat; kinda a mainstream version of a Louisiana track, I feel like it iz… Sounds
like you’re everything, here… Good, upbeat-soundin’ flow you got goin’ on,
here. “I don’t mean to sound conceited but I feel I’m undefeated;” good line!
You proved that tha night before you died, via your battle & previous
battles! My Rating: 3.4
06.
“Do Me”
>>> Not feelin’ tha “la-la-la-la” vocals in tha background of tha
hook, here; not a good combo wit your NY-soundin’ vibe, here. Hearin’ tha verse
and yeah, not really my style & your Louisiana
rhymes mix weird wit tha NY sound… My
Rating: 2.4
07.
“Relax & Take Notes”
>>> Just like Ball & MJ did, back in ’07, here you are wit tha
Biggie sample. Beat was betta back then; this on a NY tip, once again… Rhymes
ain’t that bad but it’s whateva; nothin’ crazy about… My Rating: 2.8
½time: Not too crazy about this
CD but it iz what it iz, I guess. I know I wasn’t too crazy about your
Milliyone music route, back then; a 3.2-rated CD, so far…
08.
“Son” feat. 1Hitta & Kane
>>>
A lil’ betta than tha previous tracks, here; decent lil’ hook from you. Hearin’
you on tha 1st verse and it sounds good; better attempt, here… Got
tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here (from tha Hitta?) and a betta-soundin’
voice fa dis gangsta shit, here; definitely nice…! Got tha Kane dude on tha 3rd
verse, I believe, and I’m definitely feelin’ this Oak vibe, to tha fullest!
“Pants saggin’,” strictly deliverin’ some good G-shit, here! My Rating: 3.8
09.
“Warning Shots”
>>>
Mo Biggie, here, but this time, tha beat… Hearin’ you rappin’ and it’s pretty nice;
good fit, too, from tha “Girbauds” to tha “Polo collar.” Great job wit tha
consistent lyrics, strictly holdin’ it down, ova this beat… My Rating: 3.5
10.
“Barzzz” feat. Foxx & Dog Da Cutthroata
>>>
This definitely nice! Gotta luv tha “(Xana)barz” shit repeatin’ throughout tha
hook! Definitely a pure collab!! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and
it’s pretty nice; lol @ you stuffin’
“meat in!” Got Mr. Dog on tha 2nd verse and his “xanz” vibe’s betta
than his random vibe, from tha last collab… Lots of wakin’ up, via dem pillz; good shit! Got Foxx on tha 3rd
verse; lol @ spellin’, “F-U-C-K-I-N-G;” “G?” How about apostrophe?! Lol… Likin’
this “barz” competition wit Foxx, too, toward tha final “barzzz” of tha track,
ya dig? My Rating: 4.4
11.
“By Myself”
>>> Kinda ehh fa me, wit tha way you sound, here… It’s true: “I’m by
myself in this lonely world…” Decent rhymes but tha beat makes this seem a lil’
boring/nothin’ special, in my opinion… My
Rating: 2.6
12.
“The Landing” (Doe feat. $hizz)
>>> Beat’s more like an East Coast vibe, here; *yawns*… Doe on tha 1st
verse and tha rhymes good but I’m just not into this beat, that much (*yawns*…,
literally)… Here you come on tha 2nd verse, $hizz & you stepped
up wit tha rhymes, here. Sounds like an early version of your battle talent;
good shit…! My Rating: 3.6
13.
“Ripped Up” (Doe, Young Trayne & $hizz)
>>> Sounds like a much-betta beat start, here; definitely feelin’ tha
energy…! All about a “ripped-up” hook, here; good shit… Here you are on tha 1st
verse, comin’ through wit a show-off show but it sounds like your average good
track… Trayne on tha 2nd verse, here, givin’ y’all newbies a recap
of his “classics;” good shit! “Now they on my dick, like a pair of boxer
briefs;” go, Trayne, lol! Strictly lettin’ y’all know how it really be! Good shit, straight from da
2-2-5! Got Doe endin’ tha track wit tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’
pretty nice… My Rating: 4.1
14.
“Bitch Niggas Oh Yeah” feat. 1Hitta & Lil’ Hurk
>>> Anotha good opportunity wit this beat start, here, soundin’ pretty
nice… Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit tha “Glen
Oaks” representation, here; fa’real! Tha hook sounds like a good lil’ chant,
kinda like Ziggly Wiggly from tha N.O., only this tha Oak! Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and I’m feelin’ tha energy bein’ brought to tha table, here; definitely
nice! Tha 3rd verse keeps it goin’ wit tha energy, here; definitely
tha vibe I desire! Gotta be wild, wildin’ out, ya dig? Good shit! My Rating: 4.3
15.
“Outro”
>>>
Goin’ back to bringin’ tha NY beats, here; you know I don’t “feel” tha East
Coast-soundin’ beats wit tha samples in tha background! Hearin’ you rap, here,
and it sounds like you’re just rappin’ somethin’ off da top of yo head… Got
some good rhymes comin’ out yo mouth, here and there (e.g., tha “soccer ball”
rhyme). Some of your rhymes, like on tha hook, sounds like Lil’ Wayne in his evolving
stage… My Rating: 2.7
Overall: Most of it was
ehh/somewhat-decent, while some tracks were pretty nice… Not tha best blend of
tracks fa me but I’m glad you got betta with time, from these tracks…
