I really hope (MMLP2 related)

Loud beats doesn't equal bad mixing.....seriously??? People are literally saying the mixing was bad because the beats and music was loud, even though you could clearly hear Em the whole time.

The make or break on this album for me is his delivery, because if his delivery is how it's been on Richard/Throw It Up/Here Comes the Weekend on his recent features, than it's going to be a let down. That type of flow isn't album quality for Em. I really hope it's not like that.

The other make or break is the production. Enough with the Khalil, Alex Da Kid, and Boi-1da beats. Stick to Em himself, Dre, Rubin, and if you branch out keep it to guys that can fit your style. No ID is confirmed. Porter, Havoc, Supa Dups all make solid beats for Em. I would love if he got a beat from Premier, Alchemist, Remi, or even Araab Muzik on this album.

All those guys can make good shit for Em. Stop with the Just Blaze (I bet you he will have a beat or two on the album though), Khalil, Boi-1da, Alex Da Kid shit. The only Just Blaze track I was feeling was Cold Wind Blows, the only Khalil track that was good was Almost Famous, and the only Boi-1da beat I liked was Seduction.

What those two said. I like Berzerk's sound and you pretty much said everything. Recovery's mixing was godawful. I'm sure Dre and Rubin both mixed the album together and Dre's probably like "alright man, that shit too loud Rubin nigga."

Hey, ease off! Rubin can't help it that in his geriatric years his hearing has gone to shit! lol

I agree with OP about production, but Richard's verse was good, imo.

what? the flows used on that verse were shit

[Eedee]

Hmmm, I don't think Em did.

Mike Strange Jr. mixed at least Not Afraid. Here's the Pro Tools session for it.



Besides, Em mixed WT:OH, and you can hate the album all you want, but the mixing was pure gold.

I don't care if its different or not, good mixing should equal not having very loud beats.

wow, really?
Don't you see Richard as the beginning of the breaking off from the Recovery flow a.k.a. scream?
If not, go back to HTS and don't even bother with MMLP2

You're right. Good to read such a post. Anyone who has ever recorded music knows that shit is important for the end result, only ignorant fucks thinks it doesn't matter.
