really? i thought flux compacitor when the beat is just so layered for moments it gets super messy especially over their vocals- which is a shame bc that Higher flip at the end is sick and if that was just able to poke out and shine more in the beat it’d be so nice
Oh sorry yeah you're right I totally forgot about that one lmao. I fw the verses and the hook is alright, but my god it is a clusterfuck of sound.
Production can really ruin an album...just listen to Baroness' Gold and Grey. FANTASTIC songwriting throughout, but the mixing and mastering was so awful it ruined anything good that was going for it.
It didnt ruin this album

It certainly didn't help either lol. The mixing overall isn't as bad as other records I've heard in the past, but some songs really do get affected negatively.
I’m being serious, stop acting like there’s an objective standard for mixes

Bruh the mixing isn't even cohesive throughout the record. There is no standard, but I'd like hear what Hov and Jay Elec are saying during their verses. It's not even an aesthetic choice when it comes to the mixing...it's just subpar

Some of these tracks sound like they were literally mixed in 1998

There's a Jay verse that sounds like when Gucci was recording on the prison phone

LMAO Shiny Suit Theory is LITERALLY from 10 years ago
It doesnt deserve BNM because of the mixing?
Mixing is a very important part of an album
By giving an album with bad mixing best new music you're encouraging other artists to release low quality music

Shut up lol
"I drop a gear, I disappear, then re-appear
Then dump the clutch and wheelie down the highway
My debut album featurin' Hov, man, this is highway robbery"
Yo we NEED Jay E's face as a new smiley
I'm running with HD600's and I have 0 complaints about the mixing. Never had a moment where I couldn't hear their verses.
P4k can be spiteful and their opinions on rap are typically the ones I'm least interested in. But I'm glad Jay got his respect. Haters mad as s***.
"During his last real foray into tag-team rapping, 2011’s Watch the Throne, JAY-Z was a step slower than his protege Kanye, a disparity largely exposed by his own eagerness to dictate the pace. On A Written Testimony, the God MC seems to simply be ordaining another. JAY clearly loves rapping with Jay Elec. These circumstances give him the chance to set his competitiveness aside and become the conscious technician he always dreamed of being."
Shiny Suit Theory suffered the most lol
How that song been around for TEN YEARS and they couldn't mix it right?
Mfs wanna hear hotep magic music in crystal clear digital wall of sound quality ? Can not relate !
Grainy mixes make the album feel like I just uncovered a lost page of the old gods’ history from under the sands :wow: great job Jay E
