that's the game you could be playing with these ones. Print both covers, give 'em to your children and play "spot the difference" ^^. This HAS to be the ultimate in cover wars! In all honesty I had both of these albums (don't remember which one I bought first) but didn't realize the connection in the beginning. I know, my bad, but one day I finally noticed and was like "WTF!". Nice artwork by both artists! Manny Morell for Bass Patrol and who else but Lamar Johnson for The Miami Bass Machine. As you might already know by now, this is the original Bass Patrol, Calvin Mills II and Carlton Mills, not RX Lord & DJ Fury. But did you know MC Madness (R.I.P.) is also featured on this album? Listen:
Since the cover for The Miami Bass Machine is done by Lamar Jonson, you already know the music had to be produced by DXJ and friends. Talking bout a CLASSIC bass album!!
Two timeless bass albums we will never get tired of, that's for sure. And the good thing is, it seems there was never any animosity between both artists. When asked: "The cover from the album "The Miami Bass Machine" was a persiflage about "Bass Patrol". What was behind the story ?Was there a battle between DXJ and the Mills?", DXJ replied: "No not at all..Always have been cool with Calvin and Carlton. It was more fo a friendly shot at Joey Boy.. particularly Junior."So now you know...
But something tells me you already knew that. This is the Japanese "Cutting Edge" release of their second album. All tracks produced by Calvin L Mills II & Carlton Mills. If you're a Puppies fan you're probably gonna like this cd, but if you're not a Puppies fan you're probably not gonna like this cd...
Before I give you some more of that J-Bass I also want to post this StreetBeat Records release. Not a top 10 cd but just another average car audio bass release. What makes it interesting is that it's entirely produced by Calvin L. Mills & Carlton Mills. Being this is Vol. II you can check out Vol. I HERE. so, what do we have here? A little bit of everything... some "Jeep beats"
... some "Hip Hop"
... some "Bedroom boom"
and some good old bass ofcourse...
If you like what you heard so far than I would suggest you take a look HERE and/or HERE.
It's funny, if you look at the back cover or the inside of the cd, you would think this is "Bass check 11, Vol. II"... or is it?
