Did the higher production budget dilute the NOLA grime aesthetic?

Anyone else noticed how *clean* the sound has gotten since IWTDINO? Obviously, the mixing is better, but part of the charm of their earlier mixtapes (like YUNGDEATHLILLIFE or $$$) was how raw and distorted everything felt. What do you think about the trade-off? Do you prefer the polished, stadium-ready sound, or are you missing that early $B grit? Discuss.
