This is Michael Mixerr. Today I am going to review the Doggy Bag album by Lil Bow Wow from 2001 that was released on the recording labels of So So Def Recordings, Sony, and Columbia Records.
I remember the end of December 2001 very well as an 8 year old during that time period. I had bought the Doggy Bag album by Lil Bow Wow thought it would be even better than the last record. Well I was proven to be wrong with that statement. I didn't like Doggy Bag as much as the debut Beware of Dog album from 2000 that was heavily promoted by So So Def and Columbia/Sony. The only good songs were We Want Weezy (Intro), Thank You, Take Ya Home, Get Up, and All I Know. Only half of the album was enjoyable for a listening experience.
All I Know interpolates New Edition's Candy Girl song from 1986. All I Know is a short but sweet tongue in cheek type of song. I'm not sure how Bow Wow and Jermaine Dupri got talked into making this song but it should have been a single but probably wasn't due to clearance samples. Go figure. Crazy is not too hyphy however. The songwriters were Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox as they were on the debut album Beware of Dog back in 2000. Chad Hugo too lent a hand in production and studio time for this album.
As for the interludes, there were too many. 3 interludes is way too much for one album. Only 1 or 2 interludes are necessary for an album and not a whole bunch. Not 3 interludes with the way I think on my stance about interludes. I believe that interludes are a waste of space and time on an album. I'm not a fan of interludes. That's why I don't review them much at all.
If you enjoy pop-rap, Doggy Bag would be a lot of fun for you! Doggy Bag is another Platinum album gone wrong by Lil Bow Wow as a sellout. This is my least favorite Bow Wow album. I rate this album, Doggy Bag, 2/5**.
