maybe because its on YouTube :beli:

Nope...ain't the issue...i have a pretty good speaker/sub setup hooked up to my laptop, everything else on the tube (that's actually properly mastered) is crystal clear...which is probably why it sounds so much worse on what i'm playing it on than what yall are listening to it on...

it's the shyt mastering of their albums...their shyt doesn't sound good on a system...which is why nikkaS never fukked with them.

but you fukk with K-Rino, who has the shyttiest everything of all time :comeon:

I've seen you post old 3-6 Mafia records like it's nothing. Lemme guess. This is excellent mixing/mastering, right?

Has it occurred to some of you that

a) immaculate mixing kills grittiness and authenticity, which are the driving spirits behind this whole hip hop shyt

b) It was intentionally muddy to give a strong, subterranean atmosphere

Think about it.

K-Rino is an underground artist who doesn't have corporate hymies funding his studio time...and i've never heard an album/song from him as badly mixed/mastered as the song in the OP. :jbhmm:

And i've heard all 30+ of them muthafukkas.

Even his 1st song from '86 has better mastering than that. :heh:

The sound quality of a underground song recorded in DJ Paul's mommas closet is what we're comparing to a major label release...and yet still somehow has superior mixing/mastering than the song in the OP. :jbhmm:

We're really talking mastering on a '94 track off an album made under the stress of remaking most the songs b/c a flood wiped them out?

Listen to the actual track and how the steady beat & horns contrasted against the orchestral sample almost spell out the bridge between 36 Chambers/Tical sound & what RZA would bring on future solos.

Peep how Meth is already telling you how dope Killah Hills 10304 will be on GZA's album.

This is a track from the future co-existing in the past and any static in the sonics comes from the limits of the technology to bridge the time/space barrier.
