I've never been a big fan of "Flipside's" mix, feels kinda thin, but the energy still works amazing.
As far as the Kingdom ccome songs...it feels like sampled songs just have a different requirement for mixes, so maybe I never thought they were "BAD" like that. Yeah, Dre's are mixed a lot better, but I feel that some of his recent songs (well, since 2005-2006) are dependent on the mix since the melodies/instrumentation aren't anything amazing.
I'm not at all making excuses for Guru, I just started hearing this criticism of him on OKP and never understood it.
