Is "Aint No Ni**a" the WORST quality sounding song on a retail album?

Labels on Liquid Swords. Great song, but why is it muted compared to the other tracks?

Revisionists remixing history yet again, 🫡.

Song was dope…that’s why it worked for Jigga, aside from Foxy’s verse being the clear highlight. I don’t even remember the quality of it so I won’t speak on that part, , shh sounded alright to me from what I remember, lol.

Epmd used it 1st

yes. they did, but absolutely no one looped it like Jaz. I thought Jaz was bullshyttin when he was discussing how he chopped it up, but he was 100% correct. The song can't be looped perfectly, so he had to chop it up into several pieces and trigger it off the snare. It doesn't loop perfectly.

I prefer the 90s warmth to todays clearness. Whenever i see a classic demoish sounding hip hop record and see a comment saying it sounds like shyt i die a little inside. These kids dont know struggle. They dont know recording off ya 13” tv speaker. Bums

This was the first song I ever heard from Jay-Z back in what? ‘97? I was 13-14 and it was what made me a huge Hov fan, still am

The Alkaholiks actually used that same sample at 2:24 before Jays album dropped.

That's how come I didn't like Ain't No nikka when it dropped. I thought the Liks flipped it better.

It’s like when HD TV came out and everything weird like soap opera’s. Sometimes I prefer the older look of movies and the sound of older music. Sometimes the new stuff sounds so glossy that it’s overstimulating. When I worked nights I got into 1940’s-70’s jazz because the muffled sound was relaxing.

speaking of this, is there a version of this that doesnt sound like a fukkin AM radio?

 

[Depreciating Asset]

I don't know which Jay Z single I hate more.....Aint No nikka or Change Clothes.

I feel you on both but change clothes is much worse. Complete trash and I fukk with Neptune's heavy.
