Review #1,331: 31st Deedy "Street Lights: Episode 2"

Reviewed on 10.01.2013 (Review #1,331)

Went so hard wit tha reviewz yesterday that my back started gettin’ to me, and I ran outta time before tha month ended. So now, I got some time today, before I get back to cookin’ up my upcomin’ video countdown on my top 50 summer anthems of 2013. This review I finna do iz for B.O.W. Entertainment’s 31^st Deedy Street Lights: Episode 2. Props to Deedy for tweetin’ it to me! However, this CD’s 1:49:40 long (a ½-hour longer than what can fit on a disc)? No copies sold in tha streetz? No… Start Time: 6:29 PM | End Time: 8:19 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, 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. If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it! After I was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

01. “Tax Free” Feat. Savage & T-Mck

I see that Savage produced this… Once I saw that, I thought it was just an intro, but wit Savage & T-Mck on tha feature, this looks like a really-anticipatin’ joint, so I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this!! >>> T Mck on tha intro, here… Sounds like I can hear tha standby sound (like, when a TV’s on) in tha background, lol… Glad he got us all hyped up fa this! Hearin’ tha Savage beat, and of course, it’s pure as pure can be! Likin’ tha hook, here, as you luv “sellin’ dope,” Deedy! Glad you keepin’ your hustle game up! Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through, fightin’ tha taxes that come to you! Speakin’ of taxes, smh @ this: I was in New York, ordering my microphone that I use to host/do interviewz, and if I was in Pennsylvania at tha time, there would’ve been no “tax.” But, in New York, tha “tax” was $18.00; gay!!! Got tha big dawg/king, Sav on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through like a big dawg shit! Yea, he “know” all tha way around! Speakin’ of “arab money,” lol, Music Choice: Rap played Soulja Boy Tell’em & Arab “Yahhh!” earlier today, after it had been a long minute! LOL, #TBTuesday, back when I first tried to get Savage to pay attention to my reviewz! That’s anotha good thing about Savage’s beatz: This sounds like those good, 2007/2008 productions from BR; Savage always has that quality!! And, here’s tha 3^rd verse from you, Deedy, comin’ through wit dat good-good, once again! My Rating: 4.8 (tha Savage vibe/verse made me rate this pretty high!)

02. “Fck” Feat. 38 $limm & Ray Vicks

No “u”, lol? D.Boy doin’ production, here… >>> I like how this sounds fa tha beginning…; nice job on tha hook, Deedy! Hearin’ 38 Slimm on tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through wit a great flow/voice fa this! This that Big Head-like production, and it sounds nice fa you ta have!! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, here, and Ray Vicks comin’ through wit dat street shit; can’t deny it! Here’s you on tha 3^rd verse, and speakin’ of “bologna,” today, I ate those frozen dinosaurs that taste like chicken. Today, it tasted like when you fry a regular slice of bread and turkey, lol. But, needless to say, you did ya thang on this, too, Deedy! My Rating: 4.4

03. “Nothing On You” Feat. Dre Chatman

Like B.O.B. & Bruno? Looks like it gon be mo gutta wit Guss Make My Beats on tha track! >>> Kinda a pop/urban vibe, a lil’ bit; caught me by surprise, in a good way, a lil’ bit… Tha hook sounds nice wit Dre on it… Sounds like you got a lotta luv fa this bitch on tha 1^st verse, here; I always picture a bed and a bright shine in tha window when I hear tracks like this, lol. Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, too; it feels like summer, though it finna start gettin’ cold again! Same thing wit tha 3^rd verse, too: Just keepin’ it consistent! My Rating: 4.2

04. “Grown Folks Music” Feat. Dre Chatman

I think you’re my age. If not, one year younger. I’m 25; I feel like I ain’t near “grown,” yet, as people still need to take me serious, and I still look pretty young, like a kid. Let’s see what you brought to tha table, here, wit Ken On Da Track on tha beat. >>> Seemed like a long beat intro, though only 26 seconds… This beat ain’t too bad, but if it’s like tha previous song, then, I already liked tha previous song better… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and once again, I picture that bed, though this time, it bein’ dark out, lol! Tha hook sounds catchy, just like tha previous song, so I’m feelin’ it! Almost reminds me of a younger Savage! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, too; once again, blendin’ in wit each verse. Tha 3^rd verse iz catchy as hell wit all this X-rated shit! LOL @ tha “harder” and “video games” reference. You would think Lana Del Rey & Savage go together wit their “Sanatra” aliases, lol!! Anyway, it was close, but I think I like tha previous song better, due to tha vibe. My Rating: 4.1

05. “No Love Fo Tammy” Feat. Deezy Cain

Anytime I see, “No Love…,” as tha title, I instantly think of tha hotness of 3D Na’Tee, lol! But, Ken doin’ anotha track, here! >>> Already likin’ tha beat start, here; sounds like we’re focused and ready ta pop someone/somethin’! Tha hook sounds nice wit you on it; good shit! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and it sounds good wit how these “hoes” be fuckin’ up! Tha beat sounds a lil’ like those old Big Wayne beats, where that beat pattern would go nuts, lol! Tha 2^nd verse iz Deezy Cain, and it’s rhymes that sound good fa this track; that’s all I have ta say about it. Tha 3^rd verse sounds catchy wit you on it, tellin’ ‘em to “go to a nursing home;” damn, Deedy! Damn! My Rating: 4.3

06. “Under The Influence”

“U.T.I.” wit K-E-N on tha beat, lol! >>> Likin’ tha vocal effects in tha beginning, lol! Talk about havin’ a DUI, all right! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and it sounds good wit you havin’ this “under-tha-influence” vibe! Keep pourin’ up! Tha hook sounds nice; all about that “highest” feeling!! You’re makin’ me anticipate to go back to an abandoned building again, Deedy!! I, unfortunately, have to put everything aside ‘cause I need to find a job and complete my eight upcoming VH1-like video countdowns! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, here. LOL @ tha “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” reference. Tha remix wit Jay-Z’s actually playin’ in tha background on Music Choice: Rap, right now! Perfect timing? I didn’t plan it, lol! My Rating: 4.3

07. “The Game” Feat. Percy Keith & Squirm G

Damn, you got a hold of Percy Keith? I thought he only answers chicks? Looks like an anticipatin’ collab, here, wit Rich On Da Trak (he took out tha “c” in “Trak,” lol?) comin’ outta nowhere ta hook up a track! >>> This sounds nice wit that beginning part… Tha beat’s real interesting, like, on some New York/Chi-Town-type shit! Didn’t realize it was Percy Keith, at first; he sounds nice on this track! Ugh, what will it take to catch his attention? Reviewz and playlists are not working! I expect better from 1984 babies! Tha 2^nd verse iz Squirm Gee, here, and it sounds good. Almost sounds a lil’ like Cory Gunz—I dunno why I keep thinkin’ some of y’all sound like him, but it’s good. Here you are on tha 3^rd verse, spittin’ some throwback memories. Consistent rhymes, here, like B.O.W. Ent.-type people ‘pose to come through wit it! My Rating: 4.4

08. “P.A.N.” Feat. Donkey & DNic

I know a bunch of “P.A.N.”s, or B.A.N.s, as I like to specifically say, since most are broke! It’s about time somebody in Louisiana made a “P.A.N.” song, I think. It been eight years since Ray Cash, Bun B & Pastor Troy did it, so I’m lookin’ forward ta this 2013 perspective! >>> B…eat…tag…, and it’s a sample… Anyway, I’m really likin’ this beat start; sounds real anticipatin’! Sounds like some Q-Red “ahh”s in tha background, too, so tha anticipation’s here! Tha hook sounds good; glad you exposin’ dem “P.A.N.”s!! You sound good on tha 1^st verse, strictly comin’ through wit dat attitude dat wards off pussies! Hearin’ this Donkey on tha 2^nd verse, and I’m really likin’ how they comin’ through on this track! Talk about some nice attitude!! Almost thought it was a 22-year-old Kevin Gates (remember, tha ’08 dayz?) on tha 3^rd verse, but it’s DNic! Almost thought it was Lee Banks, too, lol! They sound pretty nice; feelin’ tha gangsta shit! Nice and consistent, here!! Next Kevin Gates in tha underground? My Rating: 4.5

09. “Fo My Homies” Feat. Que Tha Truth & Alexander The Gee

Likin’ this lineup, wit Ken doin’ anotha beat! >>> Tha hook sounds nice; I’m feelin’ tha sample on tha hook wit this beat. Kinda reminds me of H-Town or somethin’. Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit peeps dat “don’t play.” I dunno if I can agree wit all tha “Gus” shit (not tha Guss Make My Beats Guss; tha other Gus, without tha extra “s”). I still feel uncomfortable how he ain’t like my Wne tribute video, and wanted it deleted! It’s like, I don’t live in Louisiana, so tha way I get my news stories are online, of course! It really was tha end of me makin’ tribute videos for those that I barely knew. Anyway, back to tha track: Que sounds good on tha 2^nd verse! Diggin’ tha consistency; lots of rhymes to offer! Now, let’s hear this Alexander dude on tha 3^rd verse… Just like tha both of y’all, he sounds pretty nice on here… My Rating: 4.2

10. “Feel Good” Feat. Kareem

Ken on anotha track; lemme see what this be ‘bout… >>> Really likin’ tha beat, here!! Sounds like it samples an oldies track or somethin’ (like, “Under The Boardwalk”, or whateva that song iz), into a true 225 sound!! Definitely gon make someone “feel good!” Nice joint fa tha hoes, here, Deedy! You sound good on tha 1^st verse on this beat! I like how tha hook also has how you “not ‘pose to.” It’s always great to be risky! My best form of bein’ risky iz goin’ wherever to get footage! Like, last year, I drove almost five hours to Virginia to get a picture/video of tha jail my uncle went to, to use it in a film about my lost equipment! Dope! Anyway, Kareem on tha 2^nd verse, and I thought he was gonna suck, at first. However, he sounds great on this track wit how he comin’ through wit it! Rappin’ from Louisiana at its finest! Great collaboration! Here you are on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit a nice “blunt;” fire dat bitch up! My Rating: 4.5

11. “Still Gotta Have You” Feat. Pretty Honore

Ken doin’ anotha beat… >>> This iz anotha nice beat, here. Hearin’ tha hook and this joint goes wit those Dre Chatman collaborations… I think I liked tha both of them betta, but let’s see how this continues ta be… Tha 1^st verse ain’t bad; it’s you describin’ some dreams and what you be doin’ to these hoes. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, and it’s a female… She sounds like a teenager, and it’s not bad, here… Tha 3^rd verse sounds like you got psychic powers, as this “crystal ball” defines what you’re expectin’… LOL, ended outta nowhere. My Rating: 3.7

12. “Phast Liphe” Feat. Racked-Up Ready & Dirty Bird

Don’t think I eva heard this Dirty Bird dude (EDIT: Beat Flippa's Street Certified 2 CD)… Once again, production by Deedy’s truly (lol), Ken!! >>> Oh, now, I see what tha title defines: “Fast Life,” lol. I’m feelin’ how Ken did tha damn thang on this beat! Tha hook’s pretty nice, strictly on dat “hustlin’” tip! Nice! Tha 1^st verse from you sounds good, here; stay on yo grind! Got this husaholic Ready on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through, like a “young, ruthless nigga.” I feel you, Ready… LOL, Miley Cyrus “We Can’t Stop” randomly came up in my head (since spring 2000, I have music play in my head (even wit music playing—like this joint right now and Music Choice: Rap, too—music still comes on in my head). I can control it, but can’t stop it), and Ready, you said, “Molly,” lol; ironic… Hearin’ this Dirty Bird dude on tha 3^rd verse, and he sounds nice! Once again, anotha potential dude ta have good shit come outta dat Boot! LOL, this ended outta nowhere, too! Cold endings!! My Rating: 4.4

13. “Me & My Girl” Feat. Dre Chatman

Here we go, wit CJ on tha beat… >>> Yuck @ tha hook and this sound; too poppy for me! Good thing for tha A$AP Rocky, Drake, 2 Chainz & Kendrick Lamar “Fuckin’ Problems” on Music Choice: Rap, right now, as it’s washing away my attention from this song… But, if I had to comment on tha verses, they’re nice… Like, nice, as if you were in a white community. My Rating: 2.3

½time: Mainly, this CD goes real hard/duffy!! Most of it’s pretty tight, except that song I just reviewed! Other than that, you’re lookin’ at a 4.2 for tha CD rating, currently!!

14. “Trap House” Feat. 38 $limm & Rambo K Kutta

Don’t think I heard of this Rambo dude, but I’m anticipatin’ this! D.Boy on tha beat… >>> Wasn’t really feelin’ tha “gettin’ money” beginning, as well as this beat soundin’ a lil’ like a mainstream, typical rap song, but it ain’t too bad… Tha hook’s a lil’ catchy. My interest ain’t all tha way there when it’s “money” songs, but it’s better than tha previous song. Tha 1^st verse sounds catchy; not bad rhymes, but it’s always good ta have these kinda songs, right? When I went into tha abandoned Kings Park Psych Ward, I literally felt like I was in a “trap house;” it was therapeutic to me, lol, ‘cause I dealt wit a lotta bullshit this year! Here’s some pics of it:

And, a bonus pic. I'm sure you know tha status of me here, lol:

Anyway, sounds like 38 $limm on tha 2^nd verse; didn’t realize three minutes went by, but he sounds good on this track. Good job wit teamin’ up wit people, Deedy! Got tha Rambo dude on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit some catchiness, here. He sounds like he’s got a good voice ta be hidden in tha “trap house,” lol. My Rating: 3.9

15. “15 Cents” Feat. Ray Vicks

Ironic to be #“15” on this CD (was that planned?). Once again, got your D.Boy on tha track, here! >>> Cool beat start, here; sounds better than tha previous beat, so far. Tha hook’s simple, as you’re “tryna make a dollar outta 15 cents;” I feel ya. Ooh, beat’s pretty kick-ass wit those sounds durin’ tha 1^st verse, here!! Luvin’ it!! As far as your rhymes go, they’re good; your flow iz catchy, here, as you’re havin’ fun wit this “dirty money” and shit. Good shit; I feel ya! I like tha “all this grass I’m sellin’, I should have me a lawn service” line; dope! Ray Vicks sounds good on tha 2^nd verse, here, always “in tha kitchen,” lol. My Rating: 4.4

16. “Real Or Fake” Feat. Dre Chatman, T-Dub & Racked-Up Ready

You already know, we all deal wit this kinda title, frequently. It sux that so many try to prove themselves and win people over wit their fakeness! Now that I’m very occupied wit myself and my video countdowns, I feel like I don’t need to boost my ego in any way…, unless I’m in tha video business, but screw tha music-promoting side. CJ on tha beat… >>> Cool beat, here, and okay singin’ on this hook… I forgot Dre was on this; didn’t even picture singin’ wit a title like this… Here you are on tha 1^st verse, disapprovin’ tha “99.9%” dudes; I feel ya! Good job wit tha 1^st verse, here. Now, time fa tha females ta step in (T-Dub)! She sounds great on this 2^nd verse; all greatness, here! Glad she made this CD! And now, Mr. Ready on tha 3^rd verse, analyzin’ tha streetz at all times!! Good shit! This turned out ta be somethin’ great; that singin’ iz catchin’ on a lil’ betta wit me, now… My Rating: 4.3

17. “Smokers Section”

After all these jointz, here you are, by yourself, smokin’. That’s what’s up! It took me to be up 12 stories high to catch a high for tha 1^st time… I know I gon feel some sorta high wit Rich On Da Trak doin’ anotha beat! >>> Of course, luvin’ this “I smoke blunts” shit repeatin’ in tha hook; tha beat’s real nice, too, wit that organ!! Damn, 4:48 on tha length? I think I’m hungry fa it all!! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and you even got dem “seeds;” you might be able to write tha book on marijuana, lol! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice wit all this “weed” essence all around! You know when tha “clothes smell” like it, you’re in for good luck! Tha 3^rd verse sounds good, too; can’t deny any of this!! My Rating: 4.5

18. “Dope Boi Swag” Feat. Savage & Ree-Up

Looked at tha title and was like, “Ehh…,” but I see that Savage iz featured and produced this!! Also, neva heard of this Ree-Up dude/people (EDIT: Heard them 3x); definitely lookin’ forward!! >>> Already likin’ tha beginning beat, of course!! “Mobb shit, bitch;” lol, Sav said it like he was high and calm! Savage can pull this title/hook off; catchy as hell, and you can’t deny tha pure sound!! We got Deedy on tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through wit tha “smokin’,” still! I swear, it could’ve been tha sequel to tha previous song—kinda seems like it, since it’s right after it! Okay, hearin’ this Ree-Up dude on tha 2^nd verse, and they said, “Bad Azz Entertainment,” so I assume they’re with them. They sound good, here; sounds perfect fa some “Bad Azz Entertainment”-type shit! Once again, anotha potential dude ta make noise! Ooh, “Big Sav” on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit his supply—everything you see him in! “I been hustlin’ since 12;” he’s tha decade-older version of my cousin, Lil’ Willy, who was in tha streetz before 16! Definitely comin’ through wit tha heat, Sav!! A beast; dat voice always makes tha tracks sound pure, but only fa tha big dawgz! My Rating: 4.7

19. “Built Like Me” Feat. YNW$
Thought I saw this feature somewhere else, but neva heard them. I dunno about tha “$” in their name; we’ll see when I hear this… CJ on tha beat! >>> Beat’s pretty good, here… Tha hook sounds pretty catchy, too; can’t complain, here. Tha 1^st verse sounds good, too, stayin’ active in tha streetz! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, too; you keepin’ this shit consistent, here. Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse, and it’s this YNW$ dude. Sounds like he’s wit Mista’s camp, and sounds like him. I’ll give him props fa bein’ on here… Or, iz this YNW$ on tha 4^th verse? LOL, can’t tell, but it prolly iz. They sound good, on some Bad Azz Ent.-type shit, once again. Pretty gutta wit this stealing he did back in tha day, lol. My Rating: 4.2

20. “Closer”

J. Scalez on tha beat! Technically, according to tha back cover, this CD stops at #19 (it’s still 17 seconds over, lol; 1:20:17). But, good thing my mind’s focused on this right now, as I have some time, before I dive back into my seven, eight upcomin’ video countdowns! >>> A really long beat intro, and it’s almost soundin’ a lil’ poppy for an urban taste… Hearin’ a female (sample) on tha hook, and it’s soundin’ a lil’ catchy. I like those Arabic-like sounds in this beat, so that’s a plus. Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit a calm delivery; not bad… Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad, either; sounds good, overall. My Rating: 3.8

21. “The Vintage” (Vintage Rippah)

Lots of “Vintage”, here, includin’ tha title bein’ tha producer: “Vintage Rippah”. Let’s see, here… >>> Sounds like regular rappin’, and someone else, here? Iz it “tha V-I-N-T-A-G-E Rippah” doin’ a solo song or somethin’? Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad, either; nice lil’ solo song, I guess? My Rating: 3.7

22. “Still Smokin’ 2K” Feat. Kareem

A bonus, here… No producer listed? Iz it still Rich? Let’s see what gon come outta this… >>> Sounds like that was a shout out to “Rippah for makin’ this beat,” so I assume he made this track. I’m likin’ tha old-soundin’, H-Town ‘90s vibe, here, wit tha beat! Also, tha hook’s nice, once again! Can’t deny those “smokin’” anthems!! Yup! “Inhale it, exhale it!” Tha 2^nd verse sounds good wit Kareem, here. Almost like a new version of Young Bleed wit this laidback vibe; I’m definitely feelin’ it!! My Rating: 4.5

23. “Swag Swag” Feat. Ronnie Rap Game

Looks gross. I dunno if it’ll be like tha Savage feature/production… >>> Tha beat sounds pretty nice, here; I’m likin’ this start! Oh, “My weed so loud,” huh? Sounds like anotha sequel to tha “smokin’” song!! Great job wit tha 1^st verse, here, Deedy! Hearin’ this Ronnie dude on tha 2^nd verse, and it sounds like he great ta go in on this track!! Straight-up eatin’ it!! Thumbs up ta this “Glen Oaks” dude fa doin’ his thang! Here you are on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit good rhymes; can’t complain your “swag”—I mean, style. You know, born in ’88, I’ont fuck wit tha word “swag.” I feel like it’s a ‘90s baby term. My Rating: 4.4

24. “Stress Free” Feat. Vintage Rippah

Let’s see, here… >>> This sounds relaxin’… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse, and it ain’t too bad… Not sure about tha “Old McDonald” shit on tha hook, but it ain’t too bad, overall… Tha 2^nd verse sounds okay, too. This iz startin’ ta be a lil’ long, so I’m kinda losing interest… Hearin’ tha Vintage dude on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit some better shit; likin’ his “huh” shit, includin’ his delivery. My Rating: 3.5

25. “Come Up” Feat. Lil’ Boxx & Lee Banks

Glad ta see Boxx on tha feature! I think I should like this a lot… >>> Good beat, here, includin’ tha sample on tha hook! Feelin’ good, here, wit this gangsta vibe, mixed wit a swerin’-on-tha-road vibe! Tha 1^st verse sounds good; regular rappin’ from you, here… Hearin’ Lil’ Boxx on tha 2^nd verse, and I’m feelin’ how he comin’ through, here, wit his always-great flow/voice/delivery!! Consistent, real shit, at its finest! Now, finally, after envisionin’ him on this CD earlier, here’s Lee on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit dat tight, Young Ready-influenced street shit! My Rating: 4.5

26. “Bottles”

Dem “bottles” gon P-to-tha-O-to-tha-freaky-freaky-P, lol! I know you like dat Timbaland dialect! >>> LOL, only 1:57 on tha length? Seems like a tease, but I’m feelin’ this beat! Str8 jiggin’ style; gotta dig it!! It’s all about “drinkin’,” “drinkin’,” “drinkin’!” I think you doin’ a great job on this only verse, here; thumbs up fa deliverin’ dat dumb shit on this kinda beat! My Rating: 4.4

27. “I Got A Bitch”

I’m still solo… >>> Beat sounds cool, here, from whoeva produced it. Tha rhymes on tha 1^st verse sound good, too, strictly reppin’ fa those that have bitches, lol. I’m likin’ tha hook wit this “biiiiiiiiiiiiiitch” shit; almost reminds me of tha late Pimp! So many bitches you got on tha 2^nd verse, lol! Catchy how you comin’ through wit it, here! My Rating: 4.3

Overall: Wow, that was a long-ass review!! But, I enjoyed this CD a whole lot!! Deedy, you have plenty of jointz ta keep company, here!! Keep up tha great work!! I dunno what else ta say, but you work wit a lotta great new people and producers!!

Review #1,171: Beat Flippa "Street Certified 2"

Reviewed on 8.02.2012 (Review #1,171)

Comin’ up next, I have an anticipatin’ review!! This iz Beat Flippa Street Certified 2; it’s been almost four years since I reviewed tha 1^st one, which goes down as one of my favorite CDs ever! I still have tha same anticipation for this CD, even though tha times are not tha same (e.g., first semester at my current college and Nu$$ie bein’ alive—tha GOLDEN times of ’08!). Anyway, lemme get into this!!! Start Time: 8:26 PM | End Time: 9:35 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, 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. If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “Street Life” Feat. Mz. TeQui, Peabody, Looney Boi, Big Grizzly & Vaada

Still never got in touch wit some of tha people on here (e.g., Peabody); hope they discover me soon! But, for now, lemme hear this, especially wit TeQui on it!! >>> Sample sounds like tha same one from tha ’89 album from Baby T & Devious D, which I played on my radio show just last month. Beat ain’t too bad, but sounds nice and smooth, here. Ooh, TeQui on tha 1^st verse, and I’m feelin’ her rhymes, especially tha cards! Real nice of her to deliver these rhymes; very consistent wit a great speed on tha flow! Peabody’s on tha 2^nd verse, and he sounds a lil’ like a BR version of Choppa, in a way; feelin’ what he spittin’!! Great flow, too; gotta luv tha pace, here!! Tha 2^nd ½ of tha 2^nd verse (Looney Boi?) sounded good, too; nice combination! Big Grizzly on tha 1^st ½ of tha 3^rd verse? Sounds good; sounds like a dude in his 30s (which iz a good thing, since I seem to have a lot of success wit networking wit people in their 30s)! Nice job wit tha 2^nd ½ of tha 3^rd verse (Vaada?), too. I would’ve prolly expected a song like dis to be near tha end of tha CD; startin’ off seemed like a risk, but I loved all tha rhymes, here!! My Rating: 4.5

02. “Take It Outside” Feat. Mutt, Derty, Dreezy, Rosha & Lady Lex

I know TeQui said on tha last song that tha songs were possibly from “2010,” even though this CD was released last year. However, still lookin’ forward, especially wit Derty in this bitch!! >>> Sounds entertainin’, in a fast way, wit tha “don’t start no stuff, won’t be no stuff” shit repeatin’ in tha background. Ooh, some Beat Flippa keys that I’ve always luved; glad they’re still here!! Grimy-ass Mutt on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some gutta shit; thumbs-tha fuck-up!! Oh, it iz Mutta Gudda (or, spelled Mudda Gutta? I keep forgettin’)!! I had a feelin’ it was him ‘cause of his grimy voice; good shit! Now, let’s hear dat Derty on tha 2^nd verse… Lol, startin’ off wit a ‘90s style (“biiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch”); gotta luv it! Thanx for tha hypeness, Derty!! Dreezy comin’ up on tha 3^rd verse? Let’s hear what he got… Wow, lots of great “fuck a hoe” consistentness goin’ on, here; very hype (not like screamin’, but great chantin’)!! Rosha on tha 2^nd part of tha 3^rd verse? Nice energy; street girl, too!! Gotta luv this shit, once again!! Lady Lex endin’ this off wit some rhymes tha pace of this track; good shit!! My Rating: 4.7

03. “Polo” Feat. Dirty Bird & N.I.P.

Wonder who this Dirty, with an ‘I’, dude iz; lookin’ forward ta this one!! I think this gon go through da roof!!! >>> Good start; feelin’ tha energy proGRESSIN’!! Nice shit goin’ on wit tha hook; always luv a “Polo” anthem!! Nice shit from tha 1^st verse, here; gotta feel tha “Polo” obsession, as well as other clothes (e.g., “Coogi”)! :tu Nice flow goin’ on in tha 2^nd verse, here; it’s all about holdin’ some notes and showin’ some obsessions!! I think that was Dirty Bird on tha 2^nd verse; sounds like someone for tha future! N.I.P. on tha 3^rd verse? Was dat you on tha 1^st verse, Flip? I almost couldn’t blend it in, at first, but thumbs up if it was! Good energy from N-to tha, here! My Rating: 4.6

04. “I’m Street Certified” Feat. A-One (Wissel), T.E.C. & Dirty T

And, anotha Dirty person, lol, no less all back to back! Not sure of who tha T.E.C. dude iz, so I’m definitely lookin’ forward to this title track!!! >>> Nice intro from, I think, you, Beat Flippa; beat’s also pretty nice and undaground, too!! Likin’ this hook, too; takes me back to them old Pyrex Radio moods, especially since I’m reviewin’ this close-to two years later! Wissel sounds pretty tight on tha 1^st verse; glad to hear him, once again… Tha T.E.C. dude’s on tha 2^nd verse, and he sounds pretty tight! His voice almost sounds like he’s my age, if not, a few years older than me? Entertainin’, in a street style, right there! Dirty T’s on tha 3^rd verse, and he’s got a Shell (Young Thugga) vibe/flow, which I’m startin’ to love as I listen!! “Squeezin’ triggaz” iz “[his] medicine”? That’s what’s up, in a gangsta way; definitely feelin’ this, and major props to tha 3^rd verse!!! My Rating: 4.7

05. “Hold Up Nah” Feat. Peabody & Fat Albert

You spelled Peabody’s name as “Peaboy” on tha 1^st track, but luckily, I was able to notice tha error earlier. Anyway, glad to see another Peabody feature, includin’ a Fat Albert one, too? Think this might be tha 1^st time I’m hearin’ Mr. Albert, although he been in my friends for a year or so now? Sure has! >>> Ooh, you & DJ B-Real collaboratin’ on tha beat!!! Wow, this sounds like tha BR music I love; great for these times!!! Tha hook’s pretty tight, too; kinda like a “Money Right”, but in a way I can appreciate it wit these undaground artists!! Tha 1^st verse sounds jammin’; gotta hold dat track down!! Speakin’ of “Money Right”, it almost sounds like Tank Jones on tha hook; let’s keep it goin’!! Tha 2^nd verse iz here, and it’s soundin’ great, once again! “Tougher than leather;” that’s what we ‘bout!! Likin’ tha 3^rd verse, too; it’s all about that smell and red light of tha bar/club!! That’s tha vision I’m seein’ when I hear some shit like this, right now! What a great beat ending, lol!!! My Rating: 4.9

06. “Get Yo Dummy Up” Feat. Down Bad

I think this gon be entertainin’; HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAGE!!! >>> Started immediately, and Cage iz just goin’ off, like he eatin’ through a whole entire birthday cake wit his mouth, lol!!! I can tell this iz early 2010 if Supa’s on tha 1^st verse…; EARLY 2010, if not, ’09? Sounds good fa this track. Crazy ol’ Jack’s on tha 2^nd verse, provin’ dat he can rip a track like Da Rippa can! Got a crazy birthday boy on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit dat flow of a character dat has lost his mind!!! One thing I luv about hearin’ songs like this iz how tha voice iz delivered!! My Rating: 4.5

07. “Purple Drank” Feat. K.Dot, J-Seven & A-One (Wissel)
Looks like it gon be an interestin’ collaboration, undaground style? Lemme hear! >>> Mike Jones on tha sample; interestin’ turn out, so far, as it sounds like somethin’ you’d hear while you’re on dat “purple drank!” Not bad wit tha 1^st verse, so far; I like tha fastness in tha rhymes, mostly… Tha 2^nd verse sounds pretty good wit tha fastness, too; I like tha “purp on me” shit, feelin’ ready to set a mood! Last verse wit a Wissel? Let’s hear—no! Fuck, an a-tuned verse? Fuck dat, I just passed it up! Too bad dat’s gonna hurt this song’s rating! Not to mention, this was tha least-rated outta tha seven songs on here, so far! My Rating: 3.7

½time: Anotha classic-soundin’ CD from you, Flippa, minus tha very last part (Wissel and that dick-on-dick-suckin’ effect called auto-tune). Because of dat brain-suffering effect, tha average CD rating ain’t gonna be automatically five stars, but it’s at a nice 4.5, so far; keep up tha great work!!!!!

08. “Roll Dem Stones” Feat. Willie Wind, Fetti & Looney Boi

I like Willie Wind’s name; hopefully, this’ll turn out ta be great, especially wit tha nice title!! >>> Sounds like tha ‘90s for a start? Real interestin’, wit a Beat Flippa vibe!! Nice and creepy vocals on tha 1^st verse, here; luvin’ tha ‘90s style!! Fits really unique in this generation/decade!! “Flippa, I’m dependin’ on you;” you already are in charge, ya dig? Likin’ tha rappin’ goin’ on, now; flows pretty nicely! Not to mention, tha rhymes are consistent! Good job, Fetti; even risking a fusion of “texting” into this ‘90s-soundin’ joint… Whateva tha real hook iz, I know that I’m enjoyin’ this… Looks like Looney Boi’s left, and it sounds like he’s a great partier… in tha streetz! Good shit goin’ on, here! Props to wherever everything belongs, lol! My Rating: 4.6

09. “I’m Feeling Like I’m Living” Feat. Click Tight

Of course (at tha title)! However, I neva heard Click Tight before? I know there’s quite a bit of members, but I wonder why I’ve neva heard their music before? >>> Cool beat, here; “feeling” tha sounds… Tha hook sounds pretty tight; almost thought that was a little girl in tha beginning of tha hook? Iz that a ‘90s baby or somethin’? Hearin’ dem rap on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty good… Ehh, lyrics could be a lil’ betta (thought they were gonna be on some gangsta shit or somethin’), but wit you on tha beat, I can’t escape likin’ it! Tha 2^nd verse almost sounds like tha 1^st verse person? Almost can’t tell, but I think some of tha lyrics are betta, this time… Finally, a dude on tha 3^rd verse (or, an ‘80s baby), and it’s soundin’ good—kinda what I expected from them, in a way. My Rating: 4.0

10. “My Ol’ School” Feat. IL Duce, Jimi Jump & J.S.P.

Lol, this again? Interestin’ dat it re-entered; still interested! A higher-than-I-thought rating due to it’s tha Nu$$ie-Alive times!! My Current Rating: 4.5

11. “Right Time, Right Way” Feat. Lady Lex, Looney Boi & Veronica

I think that’s Veronica—tha ‘A’ looks cut off, but I can see tha beginning of it… Anyway, wow, you put a comma in tha title, like a normal person with grammar would do; lol, wrong spelling of “right” on tha 2^nd part of tha title? Anyway, let’s see what this lady-lookin’ anthem gon be like… >>> Ehh, kinda R&B; not too exciting, at first. I know wit Street Certified, tha last two songs were under-4.0s for me; prolly should put this as one of tha last two songs. I’m hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and Lady Lex sounds great wit tha fast rappin’; I’ll give it some credit… Male style, here, wit Looney Boi on tha 2^nd verse; good rhymes, but why iz a song like this about five minutes long? A lil’ bridge-like 3^rd verse, here; kinda didn’t expect dat on a CD like this, but ehh, whateva. Endin’ it wit some fast rappin’? Nice, since it snuck in! My Rating: 3.5 (sometimes, lengths of songs can affect ratings; this would’ve been different if it was, like, three minutes long)

12. “Keep Talkin’ Dat” Feat. Young Neph, DJ B-Real & Big Head

Looks really anticipatin’!! Got a nephew (iz it Nephew?), DJ B-Real & Big Head on a track together!!! Definitely lookin’ forward ta this!! I usually feel that right after a below average/decent song, a huge one comes outta nowhere!!! >>> Yes, Beat Flippa & B-Real collaboratin’ on tha beat!!! Thought y’all were sayin’, “Nu$$ie, Nu$$ie Nu$$ie, Nu$$ie Nu$$ie,” in tha beginning, lol; y’all keepin’ it “messy!” Likin’ tha hook, here; y’all doin’ tha damn thang on tha beat, too!! I think it’s dat Nephew dude on tha 1^st verse? I recognize dat voice, and it’s soundin’ pretty tight!! Great job goin’ off on this beat!! Feelin’ tha 2^nd verse, too; sounds like B-Real? If it iz, what great blendin’ in this track!! Then again, it could be you, Flippa? Lol, I love my confusion!! Let’s see what tha Dome Doctor has ta offer on tha 3^rd verse… Nice shout out ta you and “B-Real” on his verse!! Thumbs up fa his energy, too; he’s supplyin’ this track in a nice way!! My Rating: 4.7

13. “Big Gyrls” Feat. Nu$$ie & Trump

I should’ve reviewed this before Nu$$’s birthday, last month. Ugh, it’s rough when I had tha internship at tha local news station goin’ on (time-wise), so I wasn’t really available for reviewin’ or anything. Anyway, gonna trust tha DatPiff info, here, versus tha back cover (“Big Gyrls” on DatPiff info; “Big Girl” on back cover). >>> Wow, a short length, lol? Could’ve had dat for tha 11^th song on here? Really feelin’ tha beat from you, this time; love tha vibe!! Sounds like some female-type shit Nu$$ie’s dedicatin’ his rhymes for, here; pretty nice, and I love his fast rappin’, which I’m not used ta hearin’ from him! Lol at how his verse ended, in combination: “And I been on dat (Nu$$ie) gin…,” lol; nice timing, lol! This Trump dude’s on tha 2^nd verse, and it sounds like a Nu$$ie friend, flowin’ nice… Since “My Ol’ School” re-entered on this CD, I was thinkin’ that an old Nu$$ie feature was gonna be on here, since he’s not alive… Good thing I was wrong ‘cause it’s always good to hear somethin’ different! Didn’t hear tha title? Weird… My Rating: 4.3

14. “E.M.P.” Feat. Mz. TeQui & Lady Lex

Lady Lex was on this? Too bad I didn’t know, but wow, didn’t expect this ta be on here, lol! Speakin’ of songs I know, no less; good that this iz on here! Both ladies do tha damn thang and as always, I luv tha raunchy vibe!! My Current Rating: 4.6

15. “I C U Lookin’”

Damn, not on tha back cover? My bad if I don’t know anyone that’s on this… >>> Almost sounds familiar, but it sounds like anotha Nu$$ie song; good hook and great beat, here! I’ll try and ask you for tha full ID; hope we do tha radio show interview ‘cause someone like you deserves it, Flip! Good shit goin’ on in tha 1^st verse; reminds me of some great ’08 music!! Well, I know Tank Jones iz on tha 2^nd verse; soundin’ good wit dis shit! Was Young Sleep on tha 1^st verse? I heard, “I need my antidote,” but then again, someone else could’ve been singin’ dat song on tha verse… Either way, when Tank Jones iz on tha track, tha vibe iz always there! Iz dat Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I. on tha 3^rd verse? Almost sounds like him, and tha vibe iz soundin’ nice on this verse, too! My Rating: 4.6

Overall: Well, I thought this was a real nice CD, once again, Flip!!! You neva stop bringin’ dat consistency to tha table!! Keep up tha great work and hopefully, some more of these artists on here get to discover me!!
