Review #485: D-Matic "Belly Of The Beast"

Reviewed on 5.30.2010 (Review #485)


On tha, on tha, on tha grind, ya dig!! Up next iz from D-Matic, which Jimmy The DJ & Gangsta Gumbo had tha honors of bein’ in charge of this release right chea (GR8 exposure)!! But, lol, I just saw tha back cover and there’s no FTLD symbol? Just curious… But anyway, here goes my review for D-Matic “Belly Of The Beast!! Start Time: 2:56 PM | End Time: 3:57 PM




Disclaimer:
I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals & then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me or have auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “Prison Bars”
I have a feelin’ a jacked beat gon come outta this one for tha start… I see there’s a mix between original and jacked beats on this mixtape so let’s see how good you do, big dawg!! >>> HOT shit for tha 1st 18 seconds here wit no beat so far!! You sound REAL GUTTA already “spittin’ bars behind tha prison bars!!” As hot as this iz, it’s still soundin’ hot wit tha “She Got It” beat here! Fiya rhymes right chea, ya dig!! Feelin’ tha attitude @ 1:33 also!! You’re kickin’ ass right chea!! My Rating: 4.3


02. “Life Is Hectic” Feat. Lil’ Witness
REALLY lookin’ forward ta dis one!!! >>> Let’s see how HIGH this gets rated from me; REALLY feelin’ tha beat start here; I like how it mixed from tha last few seconds of tha last joint!! It sounds like tha 1st verse iz from Lil’ Witness? Not really fast here so it must be you… It’s soundin’ GR8 wit tha rhymes though!! DEFINITELY RAW-ASS shit wit dis beat!!! Tha hook’s pretty raw; dat title DEFINITELY applies ta tha raw shit comin’ outta dis song right chea!! Let’s see what tha 2nd verse iz… Okay, dat was you tha whole time in tha 1st verse; didn’t recognize tha voice from tha 1st joint. Dis iz DEFINITELY Lil’ Witness right chea on tha 2nd verse wit tha craziness again; need I say more? Tha shit REAL, REAL CRAZY @ 2:23 – 2:31!!! There’s ALWAYS a MAJOR plus when it comes to a Lil’ Witness verse at ALL times!! You’re on tha 3rd verse right chea and some pretty gutta rhymes right chea!! Glad you addin’ real-type shit to this shit right chea too! Tha remainder of tha verse’s DEFINITELY holdin’ it down too!!! My Rating: 4.9


03. I Love Pussy (Skit)
LOL, five seconds… >>> LOL @ how they sounded on tha sample! My Rating: N/A


04. “Bone”
Will this continue from tha skit? >>> Sounds like it based off tha content; “buryin’ your bone,” lol! Tha beginning’s aight so far but iz also catchy. LOL @ tha 1st verse wit tha “Bam Bam” from Flintstones, lol! Cool rhymes and this iz becomin’ a good joint; nice jam right chea. Ooh, you comin’ through on tha 2nd verse right chea wit consistent rhymes!! You DEFINITELY brought attention wit tha 2nd verse here!! My Rating: 4.1


05. “I Know”
“I don’t know” what ta expect… >>> Well, I wrote tha preview before I heard tha last nine seconds of tha last song so I didn’t hear tha beat at first. Well, not really anticipatin’ dis wit this bein’ tha “Shawty” beat; not a good look. But, let’s see what you got… Sounds like an aight 1st verse… You have some good rappin’ here but overall, it’s only okay for me. Sounds like you’re an on-tha-verge star on tha 2nd verse here… Sounds good wit your prediction of how you gon be in tha future! My Rating: 3.5


06. “Freestyle”
Let’s hear what you got this time… >>> Sounds almost like Busta Rhymes at first, lol… There’s no beat here and you doin’ a good job here wit tha “freestylin’!” My Rating: 3.7


07. “Already Know That”
After hearin’ tha “laugh” (Kane) sound effect in tha beginning of this beat when it started at tha end of tha last joint, I thought it was gonna be tha “In The Hood” joint but it sounds like somethin’ else; lemme hear… >>> Yea, I don’t think I know dis beat but it’s not bad fa dis. Tha hook sounds catchy here and now, you have a Rick Ross vs. Fat Joe sound here in tha 1st verse, lol. Cool shit you rappin’ in tha 1st verse and once again, this hook’s pretty catchy. Soundin’ nice and Southern here on tha 2nd verse; thumbs up ta you holdin’ it down for tha streetz! You even spittin’ good shit on tha 3rd verse too; glad you “garglin’ on tha beat,” lol! My Rating: 3.8


08. War Face (Skit)
Nice title for a skit, lol! >>> ROFL @ this; ROFL!! “War face” to tha fullest!!! My Rating: N/A


09. “Crack Speaker”
Cool title here; rip it up!! >>> Cool beat here too! It sounds familiar; I dunno if I can detect it or not but you sound like you holdin’ it down! I like tha topic here; good title! You DEFINITELY are “tha track eater” and you quality for tha “pussy eater” too, lol! I guess you have a plus now dat you have a “cum eater” now, lol! I didn’t even realize dis was just a whole verse; good shit! My Rating: 4.3


10. “Crazy World”
I don’t think this’ll trick me; I know what beat this’ll be! >>> Yea, this iz Young Jeezy’s beat. Glad you gave a shout out ta “Jimmy;” y’all puttin’ in dat work! Nice job wit tha 1st verse; you holdin’ it down wit these rhymes right chea! LOL @ tha Young Jeezy hook… DatPiff prolly would’ve taken it out but I dunno why this time, lol… Pretty strong here for tha 2nd verse though; you’re DEFINITELY a soul surviver, ya dig, lol! My Rating: 4.0


11. “What Up”
I dunno what this title’ll bring so let’s see what you got fa it… >>> Oh, anotha song DatPiff prolly would’ve removed. Actually, one time, they removed it when I tried ta review someone else’s CD, lol! It’s tha T.I. beat; let’s see what you’ll spit wit this joint, which iz only 1:59 on tha length… Feelin’ how you comin’ through wit tha gutta flow, voice and rhymes right chea on tha 1st verse!! Your voice has a lil’ bit of a Yung Yola feel to it here; good shit! My Rating: 4.2


½time:
I’m feelin’ this shit to tha fullest; you KNOW it goes hard!! I REALLY enjoy tha original tracks and I HOPE more are comin’ soon!! Tha average CD rating currently iz at 4.1; good shit!!


12. “Belly Of The Beast”
Heard tha J.R. Writer “Get ‘Em” beat start from tha last song and I must say dat these ’07 beats need to just R.I.P.; fuckin’ HATED those times and I’m GLAD THEY’RE GONE!!! >>> Anyway, regardless, you sound gr8 wit your rappin’ here! You’re really gutta wit it ‘cause you’re a big dude on tha mic; str8 rippin’ these beatz!! People DEFINITELY “fiendin’ for tha crack tracks” you cookin’, ya dig!! LOL @ tha “ooh, he poppin’” part; crazy, consistent rhymes!! My Rating: 4.4


13. “Treat Me” (Young Feat. D-Matic Da Beast)
It’s ironic wit these “beasts.” My boy J Fletcha iz J Fletcha Da Beast and you’re D-Matic Da Beast. Both of y’all ALSO have a “Belly Of The Beast” CD, lol! Well, accordin’ to tha mp3 info here, it says it’s Young’s song featurin’ you so let’s see what this iz all about… >>> A lil’ ehh for a start but it picks up on tha 1st verse here; good shit from Young! He sounds like he’s got an addiction for tha ladies or somethin’ here in tha 1st verse. I’m likin’ tha beat all of a sudden; glad it sounds betta than tha hook! Here you are on tha 2nd verse here, comin’ through wit your guttaness!! I like your attitude wit dis Rap shit to tha fullest! Tha bigger tha rapper, tha bigger tha attitude, usually… and tougher! My Rating: 4.1


14. “From Da Bottom” Feat. Zoe
When I see a feature, I think of an original beat; I hope it iz! >>> Sounds like it so far and sounds nice and upbeat! Zoe’s a dude I only heard once, a long time ago wit Nu$$ie on a “Snitch” song. Tha 1st verse sounds good wit you on it; glad you comin’ through wit your gr8 shit, ya dig! When I heard tha hook, I thought it was tha “Bottom Of The Map” joint from tha “Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 4,” but this iz different! Zoe’s on tha 2nd verse here and tha shit’s official; cool voice! Gotta feel how he’s comin’ wit “his ink and his pen!” Good shit… Street shit to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.3


15. Connection (Skit)
That’s what I have… a REALLY GR8 Louisiana “connection!” >>> Short, five second skit but it sounds good! My Rating: N/A


16. “Loose Booty”
Looks like a title I’ve seen before but I heard a Mouse tag so let’s see what we got here… >>> This sounds very similar to tha J Buc Feat. Big Classic “Loose Booty” joint (which J Buc produced) wit tha way you deliverin’ tha hook. I wonder if they exactly tha same beat… Anyway, tha 1st verse iz aight here but it sounds a lil’ weird wit tha hidden A-Tune… Tha 2nd hook sounds a lil’ A-Tune’d too… I dunno what’s goin’ on here… You’re on tha 2nd verse and it sounds aight but I feel distracted by tha hidden A-Tune… Yucky ending? My Rating: 3.1


17. “Favorite” Feat. Focussed
Let’s see how “focussed” (wit two “s”s) this featured artist iz wit chu!! >>> Tha beat sounds hot here; whoa @ 5:28 on tha length!! “Beat it up like Rocky / Leave tha beat all sloppy;” whoa!! From :40 on, it sounds pretty GUTTA wit your uplifted attitude ta dis joint right chea!! “I’m in my own class so a nigga ain’t losin’;” good line right there and how you delivered! “WTF iz wrong wit y’all? What are y’all chewin’?” Shit’s crazy right there!! Wow, you’re STILL goin’ @ 1:53 here; keep this HOT shit goin’ on here and it sounds like tha Focussed dude’s up next… I really felt scared ‘cause it sounded like he had gay-ass A-Tune in tha background but now, dat he’s rappin’, it sounds betta. You sound a lil’ betta than him, D, but it’s good ta collab! This iz gettin’ kinda long now…; switch to someone else… LOL @ tha “your career disappear like Cam’ron;” dat was pretty raw and outta nowhere! Well, I’m glad you’re back at 3:55; gutta-ass shit right chea!! DEFINITELY HOT wit tha drug-type shit and LOL @ “watch me drop my penis on tha tracks” or somethin’ like dat; pretty raw once again!! I like how you sayin’ tha last words of each line wit tha “Usher / grocer” shit! My Rating: 4.4


18. “I’mma Do Me”
I know what beat this’ll be… >>> Exactly what I thought it was; how will you do? You prolly could’ve just freestyled on dis; kinda similar to tha original song wit tha hook but you sound good on dis too. Pretty raw wit tha rhymes here on tha 1st verse; gutta shit! REAL HOT “belly fla-a-opped him” part!!! My Rating: 4.3


19. Ain’t Shit (Skit)
LOL… I have a feelin’ dis gon be funny! >>> I always ROFL @ tha short-ass length!! Tha attitude and how they sound’s just too funny!! My Rating: N/A


20. “Listen To This Track Bitch”
What could I be “listenin’” to? >>> Oh, I rememba dat producer wit tha “listen to tha track” intro; lol @ namin’ this joint dat. Tha beat sounds pretty hot, regardless of what it really iz. You’re pretty raw on this beat; you doin’ ya thang as a sexstar, lol! You’re very consistent here… Just too much comin’ from you fa anyone ta handle, lol! So much shit here, lol!! Glad you gave a shout out ta “Jimmy” in a BIG way at tha end!! My Rating: 4.2


21. “I Made A Promise To Myself” (Lil’ Black Da Gutta Baby Feat. D-Matic Da Beast)
Glad ta see new rappers on tha tracks! I wonder what this’ll sound like though… >>> Even though his name’s “Lil’ Black,” iz he white ‘cause he sounds like Lil’ Boosie (‘cause it reminds me of how A-Mar used ta sound)? Anyway, he might be black ‘cause he said, “nigga,” but yea, good sound so far on tha hook and tha beat!! I didn’t realize it was his song at first; Lil’ Black Da Gutta Baby!! REAL NICE collaboration right chea; I gotta add him on MySpace!! Y’all doin’ ya thang on tha hook right chea; REAL GLAD this sounds really original on tha beat too for tha South/undaground of Louisiana!! You’re on tha 2nd verse and you REALLY “promisin’” dat you gon hold it down right chea to tha fullest! Glad you a REAL motivator to tha fullest right chea! You’re on tha 3rd verse and you “scorchin’ like a flamethrower!!” Speakin’ of “flamethrower,” Lil’ Black’s on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse here wit dat fiya-ass shit!! Gotta luv how y’all work together on dis joint right chea!! My Rating: 4.5


22. “3 Steps Back”
Tha final joint right chea… What’ll it be like? >>> Sounds like a jacked beat here and a lil’ different wit tha soundin’… It’s an okay song so far and you’re good on tha 1st verse here… I like tha hook and your motivated attitude to tha fullest! You sound good on tha 2nd verse here, really “holdin’ err-body down” to tha fullest! I like how you sounded also before tha 2nd verse ended; just STR8 gutta wit it! Tha 3rd verse’s good fa this endin’ song right chea too… My Rating: 3.9


23. “Livin’ In Sin” (A-Mar & Dyl)
LOL, a random bonus song here… I thought you was gonna be on it but it’s just A-Mar & Dyl. Well, it’s not in tha folder but I had reviewed it in tha past so I can paste this right chea: It might be [a jacked beat] but I’m not sure. Yea, on tha lyrical side, but on tha gutta/hood side, so it ain’t borin’! Glad A-Mar’s “gettin’ high and stayin’ focused” on tha 1st verse here! It’s gr8 ta hear him spit dat he “scared of tha answer” when it comes ta when he’s goin’ ta Heaven. I hope it ain’t soon ‘cause there’s NO REASON why any of y’all should die soon!! Here comes Dyl on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through as a gangsta here, tryna survive! REALLY enjoyin’ tha hood lyrics here! Was that tha hook (‘cause I heard tha title)? Either way, Dyl iz on tha 2nd verse, STILL comin’ through wit dat gangsta shit here! 100% hood lyrics here and they DON’T stop!! I know Dyl said “pour dis liquor…R.I.P.” or w/e it was. My question iz: How come people pour out liquor for dead people? I don’t undastand dat one. Nice job on tha hook wit tha street shit, includin’ tha quick, fade-out ending of tha last nine seconds! My Current Rating: 4.4


Overall:
I think you put together a pretty good CD right chea! I look forward ta hearin’ more original beats; you DEFINITELY sounded GR8 on dat joint wit Lil’ Witness and tha one wit Lil’ Black! Keep doin’ ya thang, big dawg! Thumbs up ta tha Gangsta Gumbo connection!!
