Never understood the whole argument of “uh it’s supposed to be mixed bad”

Unless its something like Some Rap Songs it would objectively be better with amazing engineering. Y’all need to listen to Random Access Memories on some good headphones

It’s ok to say it has some flaws man, It’s just an album

If you think MBDTF sounds dated you are trippin, it sounds great/different than music that came before or after it

"bad" is subjective. Liquid Swords sounds like it was recorded in a basement yet it's hailed as one of the greatest achievements of the genre.

MBDTF amongst other things is a celebration of the history of hip-hop.

Along with madvillainy it's the best piece of art of all time.

Bad mixing on older hip hop albums is because of the era they were made in

I assure you, MBDTF would only sound better if it was super well engineered

2 of my favorite albums oat

But again, It’s ok to talk about flaws and aspects you don’t like. This weird “blasphemy” s*** y’all do needs to stop

Very sane logic

Hell of a Life slander just in the op alone smh

As “old man yells at cloud” as he can be, Eminem was on point when he said rap fans today would find a problem with 36 Chambers

So we just gon lie about his music everytime this nigga has a mental episode huh

You are an amazing person

College dropout and late registration got way stronger closers than mbdtf

Dated would be if it had Lex Luger Orchestra beats, trumpet beats (like Right Above It) or Alex da kidd love the way u lie type beats. Only one that's somewhat close is All of The Lights

Yeah definitely

None

It's so unique it all just sounds like MBDTF to me

TALK TO THESE NIGGAS

It's not supposed to be mixed "bad" it's supposed to retain character

It's like the distressed clothing you see a lot of, jeans with holes, shoes with distressing, it's supposed to add texture and character and look worn in

Recognising that this is the case doesn't mean you have to like it cause you can still say you hate it, but that is what it's supposed to represent

Yeah but that’s 2 separate arguments

What he was going for vs if it’s actually executed correctly

It already did, most of the early soundcloud wave sounds insanely dated now

this is still a dumbass statement though - slick rick is my favourite rapper of all time and that will never be changed but his s*** is EXTREMELY outdated - you need to separate these things

Nah i agree with fam actually, being a product of its time doesn’t equal dated

but dated doesn't mean negative!!!! that's my point!!!!

And I’m saying the bad mixing on MBDTF does not add any character to the album. The mixing on SRS does

I also don’t believe it was intentional, It was the result of Ye working on so much music, Rushing and making last minute decisions. The exact same thing has happened with almost every album after it besides Yeezus

TLOP was so bad at first they had to update the mixes. Ye himself has acknowledged multiple times that mixes on his albums need fixed. Bro had Mike Dean working for so long at one point he had to be hospitalized
