Dolla - Dope Man ft. Jim Jones
Artist: Dolla
Producer: Julian Bunetta
Album: A Dollar and A Dream
Label: The Gang Ent./Konvict Muzik
Following the semi-success of the T-Pain assisted Who Is That (but with Tay Dizm replacing Akon as a guest feature), ATL’s Dolla brings another catchy potential street single to the forefront. Dope Man (and its kid-assisted chorus) certainly has hit power; in addition to possibly being seizure-inducing to any unsuspecting parents. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much that separates Dolla from your typical “rap hustler.” Okay, maybe a verse from Mr. Ballin’, Jim Jones, and two-for-one production (simplistic on the verses, but big-brass on the hook). Besides that, however, Dolla needs to come up with more originality a la Who, if he ever wants to get off Konvict‘s-getting-larger-by-the-minute backburner.

Hooks sung by elementary school kids always seem to bring out the hood's inner child (Hova's "Hard Knock Life" and Nas' "I Can"). The chorus on this track could be more rhythmic and catchy. Along with the simplistic melody of the production and Dolla's flow, the first verse sounds very similar to Kia Shine's "Krispy" and Jim Jones doesn't shock anyone's expectations.

Little kids yelling "Dope Man, Dope Man". That's so wrong! Oh well, it sounds great. That last verse is rude!

I don't have kids, but if I did, I wouldn't sign off on them participating in a studio session to record "dope man" lyrics. Haha. With that said, this is catchy. Still don't understand why new artists feel the need to use feature artists, but so be it.

This production says Jim Jones all over it. It is perfect for his style. It is NOT perfect for Dolla and it doesn't compliment his style the right way. I am not feeling Jim Jones part that much either. The chorus is very generic and beat to death. I guess its OK.

the beat is @*#$! awesome. and no jim on this. he's just like baby aka birdman (a talker). My daughter's two and i play eveything around her (pimp c, three six, cham, wayne, t-pain, usher, etc.) it's alot of bitches and @*#$! you being said but it's come down to the household and the day care (or school)... not a hook on a song.

WTF are you trying to say Rico..you know it aint right to play songs like that around lil kids..thats why black kids are soo damnn bad. You condition them to listen to songs about hoes, bitches, and sluts from their 2, so when their twenty it dont bother them. And they go around callin every person nigga, @*#$!, hoe like its nothing, and it is. Young kids shouldnt be listening to explicit lyrics, it does influence them, it might influence them more than it influences me and you. Because they are so young.

Jones came weak as hell in this. It's like he doesn't even try anymore, honestly.. When the beat starts building up is when both rappers start showing off some better skills. When it's left dumb, they're alone and empty, and it makes them look weak.

Yo...After listenin to cupids new ish.....nething sounds like a hit....I appreciate the deep orchestra tone in the song. Dolla aint the best lyricist. I mean he barley had me hangin on with "who the fu*k is that". Nothin sux worst than a bunch of great producers with a bunch of bullish artists.

raina...i don't condition my child to become immune to this type of music, you misread what i typed. i'm saying the individual's household/community sets their personality and behaviors, not the music they like. i'm pretty sure one (if not all) of your top songs got @*#$!, sucking and dealing mentioned more than a few times in it. and are you going around pushing stones and selling ass???

A well-made song. Old school Hip-Hop meets new school Hip-Hop. This track had an old school vibe with a 21st century flair.
