No big buss for 'Fantasy'


( l - r ) Tony Matterhorn, Macka Diamond - Colin Hamilton

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 songs that flop will be dumped in the 'Caan Buss' bin.

This week the mus' buss/caan buss team will be reviewing Tony Matterhorn and Macka Diamond's Fantasy (Brain Storm Rhythm -Big Yard Music).

King Kong: I can't imagine Macka Diamond being anybody's fantasy.

Witch: Besides that, dem sound like dem a use some serious auto-tune in the chorus.

King Kong: Matterhorn actually don't sound bad in the chorus, they don't sound like they auto-tune him.

Witch: Macka definitely use auto-tune though.

Queen: It wouldn't surprise me 'cause we done know Macka is no great singer.

Witch: Think Bout Mi was more catchy at first, but mi like Matterhorn part.

King Kong: Dat don't sound nutten like Macka. Mi swear is somebody else singing the chorus 'cause even wid auto-tune it don't sound like her.

Queen: True dat! But di lyrics not dat bad still. As usual Matterhorn come wid him gimmicks ting and Macka did fairly well.

King Kong: Mi hear dis pon mi radio, mi tun it off; not even if me high me woulda enjoy dis song.

Witch: It nuh bad; a mean, it's no hit but it nuh horrible.

Queen: I have more fun listening to di riddim.

King Kong: Dis is di riddim from 'Big Yard', di real Big Yard.

Witch: Yeah, di riddim nuh three bad at all. A wonda who else deh pon it?

Queen: Hopefully is not Matterhorn and Macka alone.

King Kong: D-Lynx and Ce' Cile have two good combination songs on dis riddim. Unfortunately, dis song don't go well wid di riddim.

Witch: Unnu can't find nutten good wid di song? Gosh.

Queen: Probably di concept.

King Kong: Matterhorn continue to expand his horizon as an artiste and not just as selector.

Queen: As for Macka ...

King Kong: Dis opening verse from Matterhorn is awful. Di best part is the chorus, the chorus actually sound good.

Witch: Yeah true. So buss or not?

Queen: I have a better chance of bussing.

King Kong: It would probably buss inna Matterhorn and Macka bedroom.

Witch: Mi nuh know what to say, so we'll see.
