Keepin’ it goin’, I’m tryna hunt down some new music for my radio show. I figured I’d check out D Phi Ent. Presents “Life @ D Phi Ent.” and see how good it iz! There’s 23 track so there’s gotta be room fa somethin’ tight!! Plus, thanx to GR8 artist Eddie Starks, I know about D Phi Ent.! Let’s see how GR8 this iz and what I gon hear from it!! Start Time: 11:30 AM | End Time: 12:48 PM
Quick Note: 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, and 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.

01. Intro
Where do we begin? >>> Sounds anticipatin’; lookin’ forward ta hearin’! My Rating: N/A
02. “Cuz U Running Ur Lips”
Tight title and tight attitude; let’s hear it!! >>> Damn, not even an original beat? I’ll still see what it has to offer… It’s good and I’m likin’ tha style of this rappin’ goin’ on… I like tha gangsta sound wit tha lyrics, though… My Rating: 4.1
03. “Give’em What They Want”
>>> Kinda long on tha length but tha beat sounds pretty good… Again, feelin’ tha gangsta style here. Despite it bein’ hella long, all y’all held it down here! My Rating: 4.3
04. “Keep It On My Waist”
“Keep it” goin’, lol! >>> Whateva these beats are, I’m feelin’ ‘em! Anotha gangsta song; good shit! My Rating: 4.2
05. “Stand Down”
>>> Sounds more mainstream, almost like Rick Ross… SMH @ tha Lil’ Boosie shit in tha beginning; why? Neva mind, I think that’s someone that sounds like him… Again, anotha pretty good song. I think tha remainin’ songs are gonna be like dis… My Rating: 3.9
06. “Bend Over”
Switchin’ up tha styles, lol? >>> Tha beat sounds are a lil’ familiar for some reason… Either way, this iz cool wit tha Pimp C sample in it… I think this iz still street although I don’t really know too many people that know of D Phi Entertainment… My Rating: 4.0
07. “Driveway”
LOL, I wonder what’ll come outta this title? >>> This sounds more borderline wit tha beat sounds… Anotha good song wit barely anything fa me ta say… Tha hook’s a lil’ borderline like “Swag Surfin’” wit how it’s flowed. But, not bad for a song… LOL @ tha cutoff towards tha end when I thought it was gonna repeat tha hook. My Rating: 3.8
08. “Diamonds”
>>> Bad beat sound although it sounds a lil’ like Christmas so I won’t hate too much. What’s up wit all these samples? Are y’all afraid to represent by yourselves? I’m not feelin’ how tha 1st verse iz soundin’. It started good wit tha “weed” shit but sounds like tha boring/stupid Wayne flow and tha lyrics are gettin’ a lil’ shitty… Tha rest iz aight but somewhat gettin’ to me wit tha typical lyrics… I feel like some of it doesn’t have to do wit “diamonds”? My Rating: 3.0
09. “The Life”
>>> Kinda boring; why I gotta sit here for over four minutes? An okay song but I can hear this from everyone else… My Rating: 3.3
10. “Fallin’”
>>> Bleh… Why I gotta sit here for nearly tha same amount of time again?!?
My Rating: 2.411. “Listen”
>>> Better beat but what’s up wit these cheesy songs??? My Rating: 2.8
½time: Where tha hell iz tha tightness I’m lookin’ for? Like Eddie Starks? Tha cover only says that D Phi Entertainment iz Yung Strap’t, Veto Vet, Jay Mitch, Dee Jay, Yung City, Tenisha, Clutch, Goonie, Clover, and Blucca Boy Beazy… Anyway, 3.6 iz tha CD rating so far but will keep trailin’ down if thingz keep goin’ sour.
12. “Turn You Out”
>>> Another boring song for me; c’mon wit dis! I’m 22; this sounds like somethin’ if I was more than ½ my age?
My Rating: 2.913. “I Ride For You”
>>> Sounds more like J Buc’s kinda beats but no need for excitement, just yet. Did y’all steal this or somethin’ ‘cause it iz him? Much betta from that huge mess from before! Would be a bitch to edit this for my radio show so hopefully, I’ll have tha patience… Good job for tha content here; should be easily considered tha best song on here although it didn’t strike me that much at first… My Rating: 4.4
14. “I’ma Hold It Down”
Labeled as #15 on DatPiff but really #14… >>> This iz a lil’ betta than some of tha crap from before. I can handle this; I like who’s rappin’ on tha 1st verse, doin’ a nice job. Tha hook’s good and damn, this dude’s holdin’ tha whole track down! Definite plus; glad things are comin’ back wit this CD! My Rating: 4.3
15. “If U Kno Like I Kno”
Keepin’ it goin’? >>> Nope, this ain’t even an original beat. I’m not really into tha female on tha hook although it ain’t too bad… Okay, tha beat sounds a lil’ betta and I think tha 1st verse gon be pretty good… Tha 2nd verse was pretty good, good enough fa me ta take this song into consideration of bein’ pretty good. My Rating: 3.7
16. “Can’t Get Thru To You”
I think things finna go downhill… >>> Yup! Pointless waste of time for me, smh! Not even any rappin’, smh? Why iz this here? My Rating: 1.5 (if I feel that somethin’ completely doesn’t belong, my rating iz usually a lot lower)
17. “Stand The Rain”
>>> Another pointless, bullshit song!
Well, first minute. Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good… This iz kinda gettin’ borin’ wit tha long 2nd verse but whateva… I don’t really go for songs wit samples in tha hook. My Rating: 2.418. “Reality”
>>> LOL, a stolen Mod Productions beat, too? Or should I say, “how much did you pay fa dis beat?” Not tha kinda song fa me so this iz nothin’ special. However, it’s betta than tha bullshit on here. SMH @ “goin’ ta prison” on tha 2nd verse; why you like jail?
My Rating: 3.219. “Bled Those Blocks”
Got any proof? Just wanna know. >>> Finally, some hot production again! This has to be tha hottest beat on here! I hope it’s original; it’s prolly not… Good job wit tha hook here; I’m interested! Still, it would be good wit some proof ta prove dat it’s real! Good 1st verse; tha lyrics alert me that death iz comin’ (no offense)? That’s what usually happens to tha real dudes, unfortunately.
Glad tha same dude from tha 1st verse’s on tha 2nd verse, too! Because y’all say, “bled,” instead of “bleed,” I’ll consider this title “bled” instead. My Rating: 4.520. “Sworn Enemies”
>>> Anotha hot-produced song! Interestin’ title and hook; this CD’s slowly comin’ back!! GR8 topic and content throughout tha whole song! Didn’t expect three verses, too! My Rating: 4.3
21. “It Was Only A Dream”
>>> Screamin’ sounds, lol. Thought there was a sample after tha screamin’ but y’all got similar voices ta people in tha mainstream at times… Thought this would be a cheesy song but it’s pretty good although a lil’ mainstream. My Rating: 3.5
22. “Terrific”
>>> Good, anotha normal-soundin’ song… This iz more 225 than most of tha shit here so that’s a plus. Good job on tha verses and this iz definitely somethin’ catchy. My Rating: 3.8
23. “Gurl U A Beast”
Last song here… >>> What was that “Ice Boy” tag in tha beginning that sounded like Boosie or somethin’? Anyway, hot beat and it sounds like it’s a pretty good ending song… Too bad it’s only one verse but it’s still pretty good for an explicit song. My Rating: 3.9
Overall: Kinda mixed here… A bunch of times I was disappointed while there was a lot of aight shit. Then, some songs surprised me, makin’ me really like ‘em! I would say keep doin’ tha damn thang ‘cause y’all a good click. But, where’s Eddie Starks?
