1Overall Description
This is a goofup mix of an original that really isn't all that great; in my own opinion, an extreme parody of this nature is actually an improvement. Having listened to JBL's other tracks though, it is clear that this is not the best demonstration of his considerable skills.
 
2Creativity Description
Anything this silly is creative to me. No fault there.
 
3Artistic License Description
A lot of the samples sound just plain terrible. To really funk things up, more reverb/echo could have been used, some heavy sick distortion; something is missing from this track, a certain je nais se quois that could give this some more life.
 
4Arrangement Description
This song kind of just goofs around all over the place, so structurally I don't think it's meant to be taken seriously. Some of the sample-retriggering effects sound pretty cool, though.
 
5Sound Quality Description
The sound quality is all kinds of bad- sorry. The bass drum has no thump to it, too much of the wrong kind of distortion- it needs more of a throbbing fuzz than a treble-y static. The samples taken from the original sound like something right out of an 8-bit Scream Tracker song, and... well, let's not take things too seriously here. It's a fun track overall, and I think the artist knows perfectly well how to make high quality music.
 
6Does it work as a piece of music Description
Just barely; I'm interpreting it as a non-serious parody, so it works just fine in that respect.
