the best way to tell if a record is dope is play it with some clock radio speakers

a lot of people get fooled by the loud/different noises and bass lines. Listening to a song with wack ass speakers is like taking a thick girls jeans offer. All the imperfections get exposed. You get that with a lot of music these days.

it can go either way, -- with hi-fidelity & good ass speakers you can hear a lot more imperfections too.

but yea, if you take away the "boom" you can maybe judge better if there's a actually good song underneath.
it's a good technique for mastering too, to play it on a shytty stereo AS WELL as the car, and the state of the art studio monitors. a lot of the public just listens to shyt on their tinny ass iphone without headphones.


also, just cuz it might not be great for quiet listening on shytty speakers that cant handle the bass DOESN'T mean that shyt isn't wonderful & mindblowing in its correct setting :ohlawd:

Nah, a lot of shyt you can tell if its badly mixed, easily. Listen to Yeezus/Watch The Throne/Magna Carta... Holy Grail then compare it to Odd Future shyt like Wolf or Earl.
You'll see how much people really care about their craft and the end product.
