No big buss for the 'Good Life'


( l - r ) D'Angel, Mr Vegas - File

In this weekly Mus' Buss Caan Buss song review feature, three musical minds will analyse each song and will grade it on vocal ability, lyrics, musical arrangement and appeal. Songs that make the grade will be dubbed 'Mus' Buss', while those that flop will be dumped in the 'Caan Buss' bin.

This week the mus' buss/caan buss team will be reviewing Mr Vegas and D'Angel's Good Life (Produced by DJ Sunshine).

Witch: "It has a very techno beat which I like, but honestly Vegas sounds much better than D'Angel."

Lady Boo: "D'Angel cannot sing, she needs to stick to di whole deejay thing, but not the singing thing."

King Kong: "I like the deejay part with the both of them; dem ride the riddim good."

Witch: "I agree, D'Angel sounds better deejaying, the two kinda squeaky voices singing together not good but Vegas sick."

Lady Boo: "Dem both sound nasal, but on a real, dis kinda different but ... why everybody a sing bout 'Good Life'. Stacious have a sound call Good Life, Chuckleberry a sing bout Good Life, Flippa a sing bout good life, one riddim name Good Life ... a wha so."

King Kong: "I don't like equating flossing and money making and champagne popping to good life, which they do in this song."

Witch: "D'Angel can't give up di 'An so' now and again?"

King Kong: 'I was just gonna say di same thing, and funnily she a put in melody to di 'An so' and change it up. Dat first part wid di 'An so' kill di song even wid di melody."

Witch: "I really like di riddim though, it's interesting, not standout but interesting. Good for the female producers to step up and it will get play."

Lady Boo: "Di riddim kinda cool but it nah really a wow mi. Vegas sound like normal, mi nah really expect nutten different."

King Kong: "Yeah, Vegas sounds nice on dis track, him siddown pon di riddim."

Lady Boo: "If they had a real singer on this song as the female it woulda sound nice. If yuh fi hear like some real female singer on dis it woulda sound good but nuh D'Angel like Tami woulda sound pretty good. D'Angel a do her ting still but anno dis."

Witch: "Yeah, D'Angel needs to find her niche, she can do a ting but no singing."

Lady Boo: "Since Sunshine produce it mi sure it a go rinse out on her programme, but mi nuh know bout no big buss."

King Kong: "Mi woulda give it a small buss. I don't expect it to get no pull up inna di dance."

Witch: "It alrite, mi woulda like it betta wid just Vegas cause he sounds nice on it, unusual combo, but it will play on radio and maybe in like a Quad. Vegas deejaying part wicked."

Lady Boo: "No big buss mi nuh really love it."
