Review #734: D-Star Baby & Ya Boy Nem Ent. "985 Go Live Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 12.22.2010 (Review #734)




Time for my 9th review for today: D-Star Baby & Ya Boy Nem Ent. “985 Go Live Vol. 1”. Start Time: 4:47 PM | End Time: 5:53 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. D-Star “One Hell Of A Guy”
A D-Star song. >>> Much betta sound here than what I heard on tha previous two CDs I just reviewed. Even though this izn’t Killa Q and someone else, tha production’s nice and tha shit bein’ spit’s good. Tha hook sounds pretty catchy and tha 1st verse iz pretty good fa definin’ who D-Star iz. Tha 2nd verse sounds like we’re continuin’ this shit. After tha 2nd verse, it sounds kinda repetitive wit tha “swag” shit… My Rating: 3.7


02. 3Gz “Swag”
Damn, not a topic like dis… >>> I like tha Bounce vibe ta dis shit; nice and energetic! Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good and tha hook ain’t too bad even though I’m not a fan of this “swag” movement… I didn’t have anything ta say about tha 2nd verse but tha 3rd verse iz a lil’ betta. What a gay remainin’ 40-somethin’ seconds… My Rating: 3.5


03. D-Star & Mr. Mutha Fucka “Gustav-Ass Nigga”
What tha…? >>> Definitely interestin’ but why would someone call themselves somethin’ you’d neva be able ta say on air? Are they not lookin’ for radio airplay? Good content here and tha production’s nice. Durin’ tha 2nd and 3rd verse, tha volume on tha vocals are a lil’ lower… Either way, still jammin’. My Rating: 4.2


04. D-Star “If You Really”
>>> Production’s soundin’ pretty nice but I’m not likin’ this hook. I like how tha 1st verse sounds; reppin’ dat “985” to tha fullest… Tha rest sounds good; nice and smooth, surpassin’ my bad feedback on tha hook. Tha hook doesn’t sound dat bad, after all… My Rating: 4.1


05. Killa Q Feat. Dub “My Swagga”
>>> A Young K.T. beat? How random fa this… Again, I’m not into tha “swag” shit but tha production comes off good and tha rappin’ ain’t too bad… Tha 2nd verse iz soundin’ pretty good, holdin’ down this consistent production down. My Rating: 4.3


06. 3Gz “Main Attraction”
>>> I thought I wouldn’t have much interest but it sounds catchy in a way. Some of tha “swag” shit and “hoes” shit that’s overly said iz kinda gettin’ to me but it wasn’t tha worst… My Rating: 3.3


07. Dub Feat. D-Star “Swagga Jacker”
Not anotha one about “swag”! >>> Again, good production but what do I say ‘bout dis? Tha flow on tha rappin’ ain’t too bad and tha verses are pretty good. I think this iz an exception to bein’ pretty good. My Rating: 3.9


½time: Well, tha CD rating’s at a 3.9 right now; not bad…


08. Ruckus Feat. Dub “So Clean”
I think this iz a better way ta list a “swag” topic: wit a title like dis. >>> Okay, tha beat DEFINITELY iz upbeat and I’m likin’ this shit!! Like I said before, good way ta disguise tha stereotypical topic and put out a jammin’ song like dis. Good “Girbaud jeans” part ‘round 1:23; you know what it iz! Tha rest of this shit iz jammin’; y’all doin’ a nice job here… My Rating: 4.4


09. 3Gz Feat. Ruckus “Pound”
Looks like a good title; I think I gon look forward. >>> Young K.T. on tha beat again. This sounds pretty good and smooth once again. I’m likin’ tha whole subject; this iz on a sex tip. Good shit from tha both of y’all, spittin’ game. My Rating: 4.2


10. Killa Q Feat. X-Man “Stuntin’ On ‘Em”
>>> What tha hell was tha random beat tag in tha beginning? Anyway, this sounds like a jam… Tha hook’s pretty catchy and tha verses are pretty good, too. My Rating: 3.7


11. Killa Q Feat. 3Gz “Out My Head”
Wow, this iz almost 6.5 minutes long… >>> Sounds REAL NICE; almost like 2000’s Louisiana Rap music! DEFINITELY jammin’ and it’s even on a gangsta tip, too! Sounds like dat Foxx flow again on tha 1st verse! LOL @ just because you took pillz dat you become a tough guy outta nowhere, lol! Tha 2nd verse iz keepin’ thangz consistent, too. Tha rest of this shit sounded pretty nice, too; nice and consistent! My Rating: 4.6


12. Killa Q Feat. C.T.A., Boo & X-Man “Go Live”
>>> LOL, iz dat anotha Young K.T. beat tag in tha beginning? This iz DEFINITELY anotha hot anthem; good shit!! “[Goin’] live” iz definitely tha shit right chea!! Definitely consistent tha whole way ‘round, ya dig? My Rating: 4.5


13. D-Star Feat. Rel “Playa Mode”
>>> “Fresh out tha parish”? Why’d he like jail? I like tha Southern sound here; good shit goin’ on… At tha same time, this sounds jammin’ wit some interestin’ content ‘bout tha streets. My Rating: 4.3


14. Killa Q & 3Gz “Show Stoppa”
Tha last song; what’ll it be like? >>> Not bad, wit a good twist of energy. Feelin’ how tha verses are bein’ delivered as well as how y’all come through on this! My Rating: 4.2


Overall: This was pretty good; a bunch of jamz on here as well as some good jointz. Nothin’ really bad at all…
