Thirstin Howl first caught my attention on Soundbombing 2 with Brooklyn Hardrock, it was his unique flow and clever rhymes that jumped out. His style takes some time to warm up to and it might take a couple of listens to this album before you really feel him.

Skillosopher starts off on a hilarious note with Stole, where Thirstin and the Lowlife Founders rhyme about stealing over stolen beats. Black Rob's Whoa is jacked but the whoa part is replaced with stole, very funny stuff like, crashed a car on the F.D.R. that a I...STOLE!

While it can get a little irritating, How Many Babbee's Mova's is pretty damn amusing too. The subject matter is pretty unique on most tracks, he pays tribute to his favorite clothing brand on Polo Rican and begs his bi-sexual girl to let him watch on I Wanna Watch.  Death Becomes You and Spitacular are both pretty dope as well.

There are two major problems with this album. One is that a bunch of songs have already appeared on other albums (Open Mike Night and Watch Deez),and there are a couple of jacked beats. Then there is the language problem, Thirstin tends to rhyme in Puerto Rican quite a bit. Two particular tracks, Young Viejo and Pana de Que are almost entirely in Puerto Rican.

This wouldn't be a problem if I knew how to speak it and had a clue what the fuck he was saying. Back on the positive side of things, Watch Deez finishes the album off on an incredibly high note. The dope production by DJ Spinna is complimented well by Thirstin and Eminem. It should be noted that Em kicks one of the most ridiculously funny verses that I have ever heard by him or anyone else.

I can see it being difficult to feel this album unless you are a fan of his or you’re a sucker for funny and creative lyrics. The beats are nothing to go crazy over and some songs tend to drag. Nonetheless, the album is really amusing and Thirstin wins plenty of points for originality ‘cuz you won't hear anything else like this.

Peace
