Ay-view - Bashy.com

Obviously Bashy can't do his own "Bashview" because it will be biased
So imma take it upon myself to analyse Bashy's latest mixtape of "Bashy.com"

I began by putting in the CD & it came up on Windows Media Player as Track 1, Track 2
So I had to organise dat ASAP



That took time!!

But I began to listen and heres what I gotta say

1. Intro
Key quote(s): "Now my face is hot like a Dubai Summer"

2. I See People

Rating: 8/10
Comments: Bare reloads looool but the once again the bars fit with the beat perfectly - a thoughtful, reflection of society (the government should listen to this). The skit after is jokeesss - Logan should play it!

Rating: 9.5/10
Comments: I feel this track & its the outro!!!! I didnt want the mixtape to end after hearing this.
Bashy was sprunngggg over one chick and she done madness - typical
The tune is liveee man - I didn't even put any quotes cos the whole tune is too live!!

So there is the review the mixtape is 29 tracks deep!!! That's a real mixtape for all u MCs. Chupa Chups was my favourite mixtape last year and I followed the teachings given by Bashy in tunes like 'How To Pick a Wifey'...now its time for 'Bashy.com' to shine. Although he doesnt hot girls as much I still learnt a lot...the skits are more profressional and it is a more thoughtful Bashy.
