remember when critics bashed 808s and then it inspired the hip hop sound that we still use today

Yeah maybe in 2009 lmao

y’all heard about apparent changes?

anyone know if this is legit?

i copy pasted it from the source. not my words

These might not be 100% accurate

—————

God breathed:​

sub bass is tamed with a limiter

bit crusher on Kanye vocals

vory sounds like he has Mike dean treatment

the sample from the OG now fits better

choir now is not overtaking the whole mix

due to there being a stereo spread adding more ceiling to it.

sounds like there is an additional bass in parts that sounds wet (yes that is a mixing term)

underneath the sub

kanye vocals need heavy work

—————

Off the grid:​

vocals haven’t changed very much

instruments like drums and bass are more apparent

bass is tamed with a limiter and is not so dirty/distorted

Fivio is not overtaking the mix

sounds like extra adlibs on some of his lyrics

for example

”if you got a voice then you gotta project it”

has now got a double vocal

still Kanye mumble

——————

Hurricane:​

sounds still like it’s got a clipping Issues on the intro

Og beat is now mixed better with organ

hi hats are resampled
the weeknd sounds like he has more reverb

Kanye’s

MmMM Mm mm

is now in time

He sounds pretty quiet in the mix

——————

Praise god:​

808s are no longer like This

Travis is mixed well

especially his Adlibs

so is Donda‘s in to the night ( i think it’s more in time since it’s now solo without ye or trav saying it to)

hi hats are more apparent

Baby keem is still outside

Jokes aside his vocals are more compressed, fitting better With The track

——————

Jonah:​

vory‘s hook is now eq’ed much better

breathing synth vox thingy is now more apparent in the mix

heart beat Monitor is now mixed better so it doesn’t sound out of place

808s bass resampled since they aren’t so intrusive they are more subby now

the telephone vocal outro thing transition is updated with a sweep

but still sounds out of place

———————

Ok Ok:​

Distorted 808s are now more apparent

along with the detuned loop, it also stops and comes back into the instrumental

Kanye sounds like he has COVID but has a better mixed vocals
hums are now more in time with the bass

he also sounds great.

lil yachty is now mixed better

he has ad libs on ye‘s last verse

@ATOUR made a comparison
Left audio channel is apple music
Right is normal LP3

———————

Come to life:​

synths pads are more apparent, as well as the sample

There is a phase on the piano now so it goes like ear to ear

guitar is turned down slightly.

———————

Jesus lord:​

Wow there’s a stereo spread

makes it sound so much more powerful

ye‘s vocals are also turned up

his syllables are more aggressive possibly parrell compressed??

sub bass sounds more percussive

claps are also more apparent

jay electronica

has the same treatment as kanye’s

choir is also layered better

Larry Hoover jr

is also mixed better

———————

Donda (South Carolina):​

has a directional mixer

the piano is now more present in the right channel

vocals are either down the middle or to the left channel

Stalone vocals are now more visible in the mix

————————

keep my spirit alive:​

Synths pads now turned up

drums eq is better hi hats are more apparent

vocals after kaycyy’s need adjusting especially ye’s
​
————————

Believe what I say:​

You can still faintly hear the piano on Lauryn Hill’s sample
But her vocals are more present due to a compressor.

Bass isn’t so fat anymore more subby

But kick drum sounds resampled And is a lot louder

Lauryn’s backing vocals are now much quieter

On “man it’s to early” part
The backing vocals are mixed very well with a directional mixer

After that there is a new tambourine heard with the kick drum
Throughout the track

Synth Pad is more apparent in the mixing

when Kanye says “nail me to the cross with long nails like coco”

The beat stops on coco and on the next syllable comes back

There is also a new female vocal heard harmonising with Kanye on the
“One last sparkle” part

On the sample part where the guy literally gives us 30 minute monologue

Lauryn Hill’s Ooo’S are filtered then they come back when after
“my back ain’t against the wall”

They sound like they are rising from the “holy water”

man

I don’t like the cover either but

The fact that is mentioned at all is why I posted it

The missteps are part of the story and well worth acknowledging and I think they do so in a very fair way

The Leno interview in particular is one moment that I feel like a lot of people don't give enough credit to as one of the most f***ed up public treatments of Kanye ever

Dropong

Bro is fed up lmao

this for my kid kid kid kid

This thread gives me og ktt vibes when Yeezus dropped

Jay Leno in general been a piece of s***.

We all saw what he did to Conan.

I hate working with this dude

That one comment lmao

He read “Mama, you was the life of the party/ I swear, you brought life to the party/ When you lost your life, it took the life out the party.”

and commented

"Those bars he wrote that were quoted in the article, where he rhymed party with party...twice...was weak, unimaginative."

bruv it dismisses so much art and design he has given us and just speeeds forward to to the present. these white people just aren’t in a position to compliment kanye at the moment and it’s sad to watch them justify their forced stance on the art.

Reddit moment

First rapper to be left off 808s

oh no are we in the complaining about reviews stage of the thread

Idk what sound can come from this

808s sounded totally unfamiliar

Soulja rn

Damn thats kinda true
