MaoDaMighty's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Alone in the Dark (collab)]

Real words.

Both of ya'll bring some real life lyrics to this; I'm not even going to complain about sound quality because this is reality music. It should be raw and unrefined. Keep at it men, this is definitely a display of genuine lyricists.

BAF responds:

yeah man that's what im sayin.' we ain't makin' money off this shit, so what if mic quality isnt great, this shit is about lyrics and the message pure and simple, thanks for the review man.

[Trumpet Beat]

Different.

The melodies and accompaniment sound decent, but I'm not really diggin the sound of the trumpet on the hook; it sounds too in-human and computerized. Overall this one is dope, except for the hook, its just a little too fake sounding for my liking.

shaggyhaired responds:

Ahh yeah, I know what you mean.

It was hard to find a convincing Trumpet VST.

Thanks for your input.

[Villain BN]

I like it.

The writing is impressive; from beginning to end you stay on your topic. The lyrics are clever and I like the use of multis. Like Merc said, you could use a little more emotion and attitude in what you say, it sounds like you were reading these lyrics at some times, for example: "She STEEL ain't want u back?(pause)Aw what's the matter?". Clearly you didn't use any overdubs on this, so I gotta give ya props on that. Dubs could've added some more expression at parts; but of course you gotta master natural mic presence before you mix in extra vocals. I'm definitely digging the beat, MF Doom is elite.

Broken-Needle responds:

MF DOOM KILLLS IT, lol and ma mans Vast Aire in Supafrienz is like a wet dream come true, lmao. The whole thing is read cuz im a lazy fuck(dun got 2 much free time rly) but ye still got much more work to do. Glad u like it man, thanks a lot for the review=) (PS the lyrics are intended to have multiple meanings{jus like all my other songs} cuz that's the way I like em, appealing to lots of diff ppl.)

[HW - PJ - Hot Chocolate]

Go start your own record label already!

Smooth as butter and as groovy as my gramma's belly dancing...The horn is sex in a rubber boot. I would've liked to hear a piano solo though or something to make a little more spontaneous. Other than that, relaxing jazzy beat. Nicely done gentlemen.

haywirehaywire responds:

thanks man, i bet piano would definetily add, thanks for the suggestion.

[PJ - Deserted]

I love the ambient backround noise

The chillness in this one is def dope. This track reminded me of an RPG from SNES or something, maybe Chrono Trigger or Secret of Mana. This is just good music to chill out and mediate with. Nice work man.

PoyzenJam responds:

thanks man
glad you dig

[Dear Diary (Mickey diss)]

Not too shabby

but come one man, I expecting some shit that would make me sad and possibly cry ,but this was just decent flowing with generic diss lines. I give you props on this, the beat is sick, the flow is on point. Im in Ho Chi Minh airport, I'll see what I can write while I wait for my flight to respond to this, Ill send it to ya when Im finished. Nice work bro, peace

Broken-Needle responds:

there's some deeper shit in there, maybe u caught onto to it but ye. it wasn't as good as my other shit. lol sorry 4 slackin, can't wait 2 see the response. I'll make it up on the next 1=D

[Wyze - Price of Respect]

Context

I'm really diggin the lyrical content in this one. The flow is steady, but its a bit too slow for me to be fully engaged by it. The vocal levels seem to be a bit too loud, especially in the first part, I would drop them just a cunt hair. Also, are the vocals overdubbed throughout the whole song? If so, I dont like how it sounds. I think your tone matches the mood of this song, but the overpowering volume makes this difficult to get down with. Overall: Deep and relevant content, but too much voice (if that makes sense?)

Blasphem-E responds:

Took out the dubs, that should fix most issues you had. Other than the speed of it.

[Bring Back Pluto-Tiger Mix]

Very nice

Im really like the remix. The guitar is smooth, it reminds me of the "Firefly" theme. The beat suits the Aesop accapella very nicely. Im really diggin the breakdown at :48. Great track here! Props dude.

tehpirateguy responds:

Thanks man. Been waiting to make a good guitar based remix to something but just couldnt fine anything that would work until now.

[Ground!]

Wow...

From beginning to end I was amazed, there just so much heart in this. Im not a fan of auto-tune, but I enjoyed the use of it in this track, nicely done. The singing is mellow and really sets the mood for the track. The rapping is top notch. You're steppin up all the time man, keep at it.

mseemercury responds:

thx bro stay up

[Sting - Good times]

Dude...

I mean this the utmost respect, it sounds like Haywire's style, but its still got the Stingray touch. The melody is smooth and gentle, while the beat is steady and upbeat. The horns at the beginning are straight. WHAT THE FIzzlePop! I didnt even realize you already sent this to me. I downloaded it, now I have 2 copies, oh well. I guess this beat didnt agree with my mood yesterday, but today its hitting all the right spots. Splooge!

Blasphem-E responds:

Splooge indeed. Glad you liked it, and it would be really cool if Haywire reviewed this, seeing as how it seems to have his touch. :)
