Oddly enough, I prefer the "bad mix" of Search Party although those live horns sound glorious...Kinda akin to the live vs studio version of Love Lockdown by Ye.

Btw, why are so many folks acting surprised by the "notebook flip" in some of the songs...This has happened in a few of Spittas song (Etc Etc., Breakfast, Airbourne Aquarium...)

Did you NOT think this was on purpose? Yeah, it's kinda OD on this album HOWEVER it does add some authencity and alignment with the PT series.

Is it needed? Nah, but it ain't an Easter Egg if you've been listening all these years...

lol yall mad as hell eh. I thought I was the only one who cared about the difference.

I dunno breh...I mean this was a highly anticipated joint that felt like it took years to make. Thats why its so hard to believe it was put out without being fully mixed/mastered. It's a shame really we'll see what happens i guess.

There are professional producers on this too. But my brother made an interesting point that I'll share. He hasnt listened but remarked that it might have something to do with Dame Dash being the man behind the executive production. It made me think :patrice:...because after the Dame Dash fall out it seemed to me that outside of Covert Coup, Cigarette Boats (which were probably handled by Fraud and Alc on the engineering tip)...all of his mixtapes had poor mixing and that was the reason why i didnt really fukk with his music like that anymore outside of those two tapes, Weekend at Burnies and Stoned Immaculate. My brother could have a point...Dame Dash musta been making sure that Currensy put out a refined product.

Spitta puts out a lot of these projects out of his pocket i'm guessing so it makes sense why the engineering is subpar whenever there isnt help from a major label or producer. Even then though, I would've thought Ski could suffice

Lemonade Mimosas is easily the clearest, best produced beat and song on the album. Jahlil outshined everyone.
Lemonade mimosas is audio crack and I feel exactly the same way almost word for word.

I'm just chiming in to say that Covert Coup was mixed by Eddie Sancho, of D&D studios fame. He's mixed a lot of classics from Gang Starr, Jay-Z, Biggie, Nas, KRS-One, Rakim, M.O.P., Prodigy, etc.

He's usually Alchemist's go-to engineer and whenever Alc can, he usually sends albums off to be engineered by Sancho.

That and Cigarette Boats are super crisp...they STILL havent left my rotation.

When you got yours did your tracking still say the Label was created? I still aint got mine a week later. I hit up one of them on twitter two days ago and he said they were sending out emails and I ain't got nothing from them

They said the label was created on Apr 4th, but then it was delivered to their headquarters in New Orleans on Apr 6th. I had hit them up a few days later by email once I saw people posting their packages on Instagram and twitter but then I got it later that same day.
