According to Michael Ivey, "There are hip-hop elements in there, but if a hardcore hip-hop fan bought it, they might be disappointed".〔 Ivey also stated that Basehead's music "doesn't have the expected samples and sounds."〔 The lyrical themes of ''Play with Toys'' focus on diverse subjects, including alcohol and marijuana use,〔 depression,〔 philosophy,〔 politics,〔 and relationship breakups.〔 Francis Davis wrote that Ivey's lyrics "() both rock music and gangsta-rap conventions."〔 The instrumentation of ''Play with Toys'' was created largely with live instruments rather than samples, which differentiates the album's sound from that of mainstream hip hop. Instruments were altered with studio techniques for effect,〔 and Ivey altered the pitch of his voice for sketches in which he voiced the friends of the album's protagonist. Ivey's vocals mix singing and rapping.
