Review #1,910: Too Solid Entertainment "Dog Day"

Reviewed on 12.27.2019 (Review #1,910)

Back up; time fa anotha review! This next one’s Too Solid Entertainment Dog Day, released in 1999 on Too Solid Entertainment! Start Time: 3:18 PM | End Time: 3:49 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!

Link To CD: N/A

01. “Set It Off”
>>> Beat sounds good; sounds like a consistent-soundin’ 1^st verse, here… “I puts it down, like your litter;” of course ‘cause it’s a Dog Day, lol! Sounds like it’s goin’ str8 to tha 2^nd verse, here? Sounds good, even tho it coulda had a hook? Str8 to tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ good, despite no transition… My Rating: 3.7

02. “Jungle”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ beat fa tha ‘90s, as well as what y’all got on tha 1^st verse, here… Sounds like a lotta rappin’ b4 tha hook hits but tha hook sounds good with this “Jungle!” Tha rest of this cool; I digz it… My Rating: 3.8

03. “Bustin’ Shots”
>>> A lil’ bit of a movie skit in tha beginning, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good wit what y’all got goin’ on, throughout this beat… Sounds like a good lil’ hook, here; I feel what y’all bringin’. Then again, more of a verse? I’m a lil’ confused, as tha rappin’ just continues, soundin’ nice… My Rating: 3.9

½time: A nice lil’ release, here, as it’s at a 3.8 for tha CD rating, so far; keep up tha rhymes!

04. “Kendra”
>>> Sounds like a cop chase wit this beat & paranoia vibe in tha background; nice! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds dope wit how y’all got tha rhymes on lock…! Tha rest of this sounds dope, as it continuously continues…; not much ta say. My Rating: 4.2

05. “Jingles”
>>> Sounds good wit what y’all comin’ through wit, here, on tha 1^st verse & beat; good shit… Sounds good wit tha hook; lol @ tha “Pringles,” as well. I guess, as long as it rhymes, it’s good, lol? Tha 2^nd verse sounds good ta hear, as well; just keep hol’in’ it down! Tha 3^rd verse sounds good, too; I’m feelin’ tha consistent rhymes…! My Rating: 4.3

06. “Dog Day”
>>> Sounds like a nice track ta rap off of, based off tha 1^st verse… Just seems like tha rhymes don’t end… It’s cool ta continuously rap but for it to not end & have no transition? Just sounds way too long…! My Rating: 3.6

Overall: Most of this sounded like consistent rappin’; nothin’ too spectacular, tho y’all sound great fa rappers.

Rankings:

06. “Dog Day” 3.6

05. “Set It Off” 3.7

06. “If Bein’ Black Is Wrong” feat. Top

And, tha 3^rd verse’s pretty dope, too… My Rating: 3.9

10. “Hey P-Poppers” feat. Jisaidie & Lil’ Trap

Wonder if Lil’ Trap secretly knew about tha term, “trap,” or, “tha trap,” back in ’98? >>> Kinda a dry beat, here, but still nice ta hear… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s nice… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s ehh, decent at its finest… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it ain’t bad, here… We got tha 3^rd verse up next and it’s decent, here… Even got a 4^th verse, here, from Jisaidie, soundin’ decent to hear, as well… Damn, this still goin’, lol! Lil’ Trap on tha 5^th verse, here, only “12 years-old!” That’s how old I was when I started doin’ my daily top 10 countdowns, which I still do today! Wonder what Lil’ Trap up to, now?

Also, a 2^nd ½ of tha 1^st verse, here, soundin’ dope, too! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s dope wit what y’all bringin’ to tha table, here… Here we are wit tha consistent-ass rappin’, once again!

Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and it’s nice, too! Definitely some dope shit! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s nice ta hear, as well! Hearin’ tha 4^th verse and it’s dope; feelin’ these rhymes… I’ono how much I can stay interested in tha plain beat, but let’s keep it movin’… Hearin’ tha 5^th verse and it sounds nice and consistent, here… And, “tha 6^th shot to hip-hop,” a.k.a. tha “6^th” verse iz here and I’m diggin’ tha voice wit these consistent rhymes! Almost like Biggie-like rhymin’ toward tha final 30 seconds, here? Dope shit! And, it ended outta nowhere, too… My Rating: 4.2
