Your thoughts when 7 Day Theory came out

[Da_Eggman]

Dark, bitter, painful album

Supposedly was gonna be an actual underground mixtape

It could of used better mixing

But a very interesting view on his mindset at that time

He was so fukking mad at the world

 

[Afromaticz]

Am i the only one that thinks the album was purposely mixed a certain way

 

[SunZoo]

I can sum up the listening experience with a line from against all odds:

"What would you do, if you was me? I go against all odds"

Everything from the cover art to the beats, the lyrics...the shyt just had your attention. One of those albums with an insane immersion factor that challenged you to see some of these crazy decisions through the eyes of somebody who wasn't planning for a future.

Am i the only one that thinks the album was purposely mixed a certain way

Possibly, but it was rushed. I think it ended up being half analog, half digital.

 

[TransJenner]

Someone needs to explain this mixing and mastering shyt

 

[SuburbanPimp]

I think it was mastered poorly because they rushed it out but I remember being like because back then you didn't get surprise album. It came out of no where and was just so damn gard. He was going at everybody and still mixing in good club songs like toss it up... Then deeper shyt like White Manz World

It was definitely a great hip hop moment...

 

[Mac Casper]

It came out nearly two months after he died . . on the election day of 1996, November 5th

 

[I love Latina women]

"this shyt is crazy as hell!"

 

[Mac Casper]

Apparently the album was mixed in a room that was made for mixing ADR for film

. . so perhaps it was mixed on a Harrison console

the monitors weren't set up for music, there wasn't sub . . Tupac heard the first mix and was very displeased . . was wondering if it was going to sound like that.

Don't know what happened from there

Probably brought to another room to do a final mix perhaps, but that's just speculation


Tupac had the artistic pipe dream of being the top artist in the world at the time and releasing the album as an underground mixtape . . if you think about it from an economics perspective it would be the literal opposite of the trickle-down economic theory . . the album would be required to build and sustain a buzz fromt he ground up but typically in the music industry an album is released and it's buzz is floating on whatever budget that's going into the promoton, the success of the artist relies on how well they sustain that buzz once that promotional budget goes away . . it's an artifical inflation that you see at the top of every album cycle
