audio review : Confetti And Champagne ( song ) … Mariah Carey

The title suggests a New Year’s Eve celebration as Mariah Carey, playing her rich vain self, taunts her ex-beau. “I don’t need no closure over you,” she says before letting him know he’s already been replaced. It’s easily one of her better songs thanks mostly to its tasteful (Tinashe-like) chorus, though, at just two and a half minutes long, the party ends a bit early.

audio review : Here For It All ( album ) ... Mariah Carey

audio review : a DM Records compilation : Latin Booty Party

The first song; El Tiburón by Proyecto Uno; is fun. You may as well go home after that because this Latin Booty Party; which the cover suggests attracts the same crowd, in the same clothes and poses, as last year’s Booty Bass Party; falls apart from there. The DJ plays mostly crappy rap songs. The other exceptions include Esa Morena and the ending Mega Mix, but I doubt most people will make it that far.

audio review : The Art Of War ( album ) … Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

audio review : The Art Of War ( album ) ... Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

Who are Bone at War with? “Hatin-ass niggas” according to the Intro, including rappers stealing their style. It’s not the rapid-fire delivery nor the Harmony but their melodies that make them sound better than the average rap group. They’re Thuggish Ruggish R-and-B singers too as all the best songs; Ready 4 War, Look Into My Eyes, Hardtimes, Nothin Changed; have them crooning the choruses all the while toting guns and murdering people.

audio review : a DM Records compilation : Spring Break Bass Party

audio review : a DM Records compilation : Spring Break Bass Party

The concept is fun and the girl is hot, but the cover is tacky. The same can be said for the album itself. Some of the rap songs are among the worst I ever heard. Even the Bass 305 tracks are booty. The most amusing bit is when Trent Partidge, Cruising In Miami, encounters “one of those suckers”. He also provides the best song; Round And Round; but the best bit of music can be found on the Bass Invaders chorus.
