Sorry D.O.G. I don't know who sent me the album to review, but I forgot to email someone and let them know it was done. Here it is, feel free to post it wherever you see fit. Thanks again homie.
Big Squeeze - Tha Senator
1) "Intro"
Just a short little intro with some talking about Bow Wow and Big Squeeze.
2) "On Top of the Game" ft. Mr. D.O.G.
The beat by Big Squeeze is tight as fuck for this track. Mr. D.O.G. puts it down with his unique style of flow. Some people might get put off by it, but I'm feeling it. I think it's Mac Money on the hook, but I'm not 100% sure. A good start to this album. No flow by Big Squeeze, but this whole album is just to feature his production skills. A tight track overall, I'm feeling it.
3) "Take it All" ft. Dre Kno, Mac Money
A solid beat by Big Squeeze on this one. Mac Money starts it off with a coo verse. Dre Kno has the second verse and puts it down on the mic. Both come with good flows. Big Squeeze lays down a knoccin beat that has a perfect pace to it. A solid track all the way around. I'm feeling it overall.
4) "We Make Plays" ft. Mac & A.K.
Sean T had a hand in mixing this track down. Big Squeeze lays down some good production that fits with Mac & A.K.'s style perfectly. Both come tight on the mic and spit some tight flows. A cool Bay Area flavor on this Northwest album. A tight track overall, I'm feeling it to the fullest.
5) "3-H's" ft. Cool Nutz, Mak Mahd
A tight ass beat by Big Squeeze that has a deep bass line to it. It knoccs hard as Cool Nutz and Mak Mahd put it down with the flows. Cool Nutz starts it off with a tight verse, reppin the Northwest. The three h's are Hennessy, Hoes and Hundred Dollar Bills. I'm feeling Cool Nutz more than Mak Mahd, but both come tight. A clean track overall, I'm feeling it.
6) "Stressed Out" ft. Ballin' A$$ Dame
A nice laid back type of beat by Big Squeeze that fits well with Dame's style. Ballin' A$$ Dame puts it down on the mic with some nice flows, nothing outstanding, but a solid flow that has a good pace to it. A solid track all the way around overall.
7) "I'ma Be a Failure?" ft. Playboy Bleek
A decent beat by Big Squeeze, not his best on the album, but a good pace to it and it has some nice effects to it. Playboy Bleek is alright on the mic. I like his flow on the hook a lot, his verses are good, but nothing special. The track seems to get a bit better as it goes along, but it's only decent overall.
8) "KBWR 81.8FM" ft. DJ Supa Sam
This is just a little interlude with DJ Supa Sam doing some talking about Big Squeeze and Bow Wow Records.
9) "Where Dem Come From" ft. Silva Shadow D
The beat is tight and I'm feeling the production from Big Squeeze a lot, but Silva Shadow D doesn't come tight on the mic to me at all. I don't like the way he flows with his Jamaican style of voice. It just doesn't sit well with me. This track might have been a lot better with another person on it. I'm not feeling it at all.
10) "Geeves a Sheeit" ft. Certified
This track is so tight. The beat knoccs hard and has a tight ass feel to it. Big Squeeze was on point when he made this beat. The flows aren't as good as the beat, but they are alright. The members of Certified come with some good flows on the mic. I don't know their names, but they both come good. I think the hook needed a little work, but everything is on point and tight. I'm feeling it to the fullest.
11) "Ain't Sweet" ft. Cool Nutz, Mr. D.O.G.
One of my favorite tracks on the album. Cool Nutz did the mixing for this track, but Big Squeeze lays down a tight ass beat that both Cool Nutz and Mr. D.O.G. come tight on. Cool Nutz starts it off with a tight ass flow. I can't really say more about this one, just bump it loud, I'm feeling it to the fullest.
12) "Trials & Tribulations" ft. Homicyde, Mac Money
I'm not really into this track that much. The beat and production from Big Squeeze is alright, but it's not as good as the rest of the album. Homicyde starts it off on the mic, but I'm not feeling his flow. I don't like the hook at all either with him and Mac Money. Mac Money comes alright on the mic, but he doesn't come so tight to save this track. Not feeling it at all.
13) "Breaded" ft. Ballin' A$$ Dame, Playa Shane, Donall Trump
A solid beat by Big Squeeze for this track. Dame starts it off with a decent flow. I like his flow on the hook more. Playa Shane comes next and spits some good lyrics. Donall Trump finishes off the track with a good verse. It could have been better, but it was a solid track.
14) "Keep it Gangsta" ft. Shaolin, Arjay, Mr. D.O.G.
A good mix of a tight beat and good flows mixed in with good background vocals. Shaolin starts it off with a good verse. Arjay lays down those nice vocals on the hook. Mr. D.O.G. has the second verse and comes with some good lyrics. A relatively short track, but it's solid.
15) "Playaz (Pop ya Colla)" ft. Homicyde, Slayir the Player
A decent beat by Big Squeeze, it's alright, but there are better ones on the album. The flows are also decent. Neither Homicyde or Slayir the Player come that tight on the mic. I like the hook to the trak a lot, but that's it. Could have been a lot better than it was.
16) "Understanding Me" ft. Swivel, Mac Money
A coo beat for this track by Big Squeeze. It has a deep bass line to it and I like the background beats and instruments. Mac Money starts it off with a coo verse. I like his flow on the hook also. Swivel comes tight on his verse. Both he and Mac Money's styles fit together well. This track is a lot better than the last few. I'm feeling it to the fullest.
17) "Sex, Money..." ft. Kenny Mack
A clean beat by Big Squeeze that gets your head moving. I'm not really into Kenny Mack's flow though. He comes with some coo lyrics, but I don't like his delivery much. The beat makes up for it though. Big Squeeze was on point when he made this one. A coo beat, but not the flows.
18) "Motivation" ft. Azarel
I haven't heard Azarel's album, but now I know I've been sleeping on him. This track is plain sicc! Big Squeeze lays down a tight ass beat that knoccs and gets your head moving as Azarel puts it down on the mic. He comes with some very good lyrics and a tight delivery to go with it. My favorite track on the album, I'm feeling it to the fullest.
19) "The Sign Off"
Big Squeeze just says some shout outs to people and then the bonus track comes in.
*Bonus* "The Rap Joke" Mr. D.O.G.
The 50 Cent "Wanksta" beat was used for this track. Mr. D.O.G. writes a diss song to Bullet. He puts it down on Bullet on this track. He talks some major shit to him and his lyrics are hella funny. A tight ass way to finish this album, I'm feeling it.
Overall this album was pretty good. I think it might have better with some different people on a few tracks, but you can't take anything away from Big Squeeze's production skills. He shows with this album that he is one, if not the, best producers from the North West. If you're a North West fan I'm sure you'll feel this album. If you're not you may not like all the flows, but I'm sure you'll be feeling the production by Big Squeeze.
Overall Rating = 4/5
