audio review : 305.1 ( song ) … Bass 305

This is for sophisticated bassheads; audiophiles who demand top quality sound not only in their vehicles but at home. It’s a song about loudspeakers and an ideal one to test them out on. If your woofers can endure the bridge at high volume without a blowout, they’ve passed the test.

The main beat, led by an industrial slash techno-bass loop, is sleek and innovative. The chorus, sang by the enchanted angels from This Planet, is even better. The song’s one design flaw though is a major one; the pointless jazz bit at the end. It should stop at 2:30 like “What happened?”

audio review : Into The Future ( album ) … MC Rell And The Houserockers

audio review : Into The Future ( album ) ... MC Rell And The Houserockers

The title song makes sense at the beginning, but it also makes past reference to My Vision, which comes later in the set. That contradiction, rather the fact that one of the two weren’t excluded, serves as the album’s one major flaw, at least as far as this nitpicker is concerned. It’s a decent rap album otherwise. Highlights include Life Of An Entertainer and Hole In My Pocket.

audio review : Good Versus Evil ( song ) … Bass 305 + Bass Mekanik

This would be Good if the angelic piano chorus, the murmurs of which conjure Does Life Exist On This Planet, weren’t abandoned halfway in. It’s a beautiful bit that should’ve been looped to no end or at least brought back near the end. As is, the song seems anticlimactic; unfinished even.

audio review : Bass Resurrection ( album ) ... Bass 305

audio review : Deli ( song ) … Ice Spice

Why Ice Spice insists on shaking her ass in a Deli à la Lizzo as opposed to a dance club is anyone’s guess, but the beat is a banger. It better be because the rapper’s vocals, specifically her borderline-retarded voice and delivery, leave a lot to be desired. Her looks leave little. She’s a “baddie” and knows it as she bends over to show the boys a glimpse of her cold cuts.
