Thanks you. I don't listen to a lot of hip-hop, this is a nice change.

For what it's worth, the D2000s are great for rap and hip-hop and I listen to plenty of it.


The 'problem' I find with the majority of similar music genres; Hip-hop, Dubstep, Techno is that the output has a shorter cut off point which means more bass in those big-bass systems the majority of people have that listen to this music. The D2000s are a great example, they'll give you that big bass even when it isn't in the recording, and I agree are ideal for this type of music.

For what it's worth, the D2000s are great for rap and hip-hop and I listen to plenty of it.  It's especially good for the newer stuff, but some of the old 90s stuff (Wu-Tang, Gangstarr, etc.) really needs to be remastered.  The remastered Illmatic album by Nas is one such album that when given the right attention can still shine even if it was cut up from raw samples.

 

Most of Kanye West's stuff is ace in Hi-Fi.  If it's rough or distorted in some tracks it's because he intended it to have that sound.  Some of what makes rap unique is having that underground, made in the bedroom sound.  Kind of like how some punk bands still record in Lo-Fi or in their parent's garage.



i like that style alot!

 

i use my hd 650s anyways for music like that since it is very forgiving of poorer recordings as well as giving everything a nice warm analog sound to it biggrin.gif, its that nice natural hd 650 sound signature.

Guys, I've removed some unnecessary argumentative posts from this thread. Can I please ask you, if you don't have anything useful to reply to ANY thread, please don't reply at all.
