7 Day Theory wasn't a very well mixed album at all. Album is not ruined or anything. But there is distortion & some tracks are louder than others.
Restless by Xzibit is mixed nicely.

Real name no gimmicks..
i mean it was mixed well for what it was...
The fact they mixed it in less then 4 days was pretty impressive...
But let's be real Chronic 2001 is just AMAZING to listen too..even now...when u listen to it with the Dre Beats its like wearing 3D glasses

Look at the group that those three bolded albums and How I Got Over came from; are you REALLY that surprised?
I'll have to check the others though.
My comment was meant in this way: Yeah, there are quite a few albums that are well engineered, but brickwalling and a lack of dynamics is a problem pervasive in music in general, rather than just a Rap music problem. And with indie albums that aren't even remotely radio-aimed having that brickwalling and lack of dynamics problem (Maybe a bad example, but have you ever looked at the displays of MGMT's Oracular Spectacular?
), Rap, being more radio oriented, especially around the late 90s-early 2000s, would seem to especially have this problem. This is, of course, all just speculation, so I could be wrong and ignorant.I think it's just less noticeable on Rap records, since they don't have to deal with a bunch of trebly instruments that would make such compression, loudness and fatigue really noticeable. Case in point:
I dare you to get through this with headphones on without stopping and rubbing your eyes. It's impossible.
Besides, Don Killuminati wasn't a bombastic album anyway, so it would be less noticeable to the untrained ear (not that mine is that trained to begin with
).
