Bassman Vol. 04 - Miami Bass Raps

Old school raps

 

I have no idea what keeps possessing these people to keep releasing stuff like this... We get 10 tracks here which are all covers of rap classics like "White lines", "It's tricky" and "The roof is on fire" just to name a few. But listen to what they did with it. Do you think this is a good cover version??





And how do you like this Run-DMC cover?





OH! Wait wait wait! After taking a closer look at the inlay I get it! No only do they insult their buyers but they give away the secret; "... this cd is really a cool SHIT, a REAL SHIIIII-T.", get it? ^^

As usual Toshiaki Ishii (art direction), Kazuhiro Osakabe (design) and Motoi Abe (photography) did their best with the visual aspect...

So there you go. If you are curious about how every track sounds like, I welcome you to listen to the "Nonstop edit" I posted on YouTube. You can also click HERE.

~ Lower the dynamite ~

Another great Japanese release! I really love the cover (which was done by Toshiaki Ishii and  Kazuhiro Osakabe)  and the music is also booming... but how can it not boom? There are 15 Magic Mike tracks on this cd!

Bassman - Mega-Bass

Hey! You, bullshit!

Me?? Can you imagine? So when you buy this cd and you remove it from the tray to slide it in your player, that is the message you receive ^^!! Take a look:

They should be talking to themselves! "... the best bass cd that you can listen to so far." YEAH RIGHT! It's bullshit. The artwork: no problem. As we are used to with Japanese releases, they always put in work when it comes to that. The design is done by Kazuhiro Osakabe and the photographer is Motoi Abe. They even threw in a few extra stickers:

But the music? That's where the problem starts. Absolutely nothing good on this cd! OK, maybe the 2:38 minutes from the "Tour the France" cover, but that's it (and that even came from another cd!). Don't believe me? Listen to the "Nonstop edit" and be convinced...

1. Tour de France (from cd "Techno-Bass")
2. Rydeen (from cd "Techno-Bass")
3. Glad to know you
4. What a feeling
5. I want you
6. Let's go round again

Ofcourse tastes differ, so if you want to hear more you're invited to go HERE.
