Does The Blueprint Album Have Any Sub-bass?

[5 Grand]

I'm listening to alot of East Coast albums from the 90s and early 00s and I'm noticing a common thing.

Alot of so-called 5 mic classics have no sub-bass and don't sound right compared to, say, the stuff that was coming out of The South in the same time period.

Actually, I'm listening to in now, it has more sub-bass than I remember, but compared to what was coming out of The South, not so much.

Im sick of your shit...

I just compared The Blueprint to Thug Motivation 101. Granted, those albums are a few years apart, but I'd have to concede that The South brought sub-bass to the front.

Once The South started to take over, producers in NYC had to turn the bass up to compete.
