(Un)Sound Engineers

When I loud-listen to music made in America or Europe, the notes fall clear and crystalline, but homemade Hiplife, played at high decibels, distorts the Bose baseline, and ferries fart sounds through the loudspeakers. The same boom-boom blights neo-Naija music too. Why?

    ... more like untrained, unsound engineers. Or could it be corner-cutting, cheapest/outdated-equipment-utilizing engineers. It could actually be a combination of both, I think.

    Trying too hard in being copycats maybe? Plus all of the above. Originality, authenticity and conservatism should be the theme. ooops.

    MYNE,
    In so many fields, quality just seems to be lower here, right?

    NANASEI,
    A combination, I agree...

    KWAME,
    But what are they copying?

    Nana, copying Justin Timberlake or some others with proper, quality instruments and world class support maybe?
