Lloyd Banks - The Course Of The Inevitable 3: Pieces Of My Pain (Discussion Thread)

[Awesome Wells]

breh I think you need to go listen to a RZA, Sermon, Madlib, or Nottz project again if you think they are comparable quality.

If you give me any COTI with the mixing of any of those artists no one is complaining about the COTI's, plain and simple. Their projects sounded great while still being "lofi.

Whoever his engineer is, is trash at mixing, and it's obvious he doesn't pay for mastering.

Please let RZA mix a Banks COTI, you will see how you can do gutter lo-fi vibes with pristine sound quality that only accentuates that mood so much more, and doesn't compromise.

"Quality" is subjective though.

Banks has been around for 20+ years. He's getting his projects mixed the way he likes to hear his sh*t. If people don’t like how he's getting that done, that's one thing. But at the end of the day, what matters to him, is always going to be whether or not his music is doing what he wants it to do. Erick said in the 90's that people complained that the bass on No Pressure wasn't "mixed properly". Me personally, I loved hearing it like that. He said he ignored the criticism because that's how he likes his sh*t to sound. RZA went through the same thing.

Artists have to do that feels right to them. Our preferences aren't really relevant to how they're going to do things. They're making the music for themselves first.

Will this breh get his album mastered this time, or is he just content with the 2K sales from the stans that don't care about quality and will cop regardless?

I love zoning to some Banks but c'mon fam you ruining your own magic with the pen with this type sonic quality.

Tony Yayo got better engineers than Banks now

no different marketing plans, just bars upon bars. and gritty upon gritty.
