    Anyone who hates the quality of the Gospel track should check out this Reddit thread. Apparently, there are two audio files for Gospel embedded in GTA that need to be combined to render a stereo-quality audio file. The vast majority of the YouTube audio files only use half of the intended audio content, which is why they sound so flat.

    The difference is night and day.

    Full explanation from the Reddit poster below:
    The two different Gospel files in the game (0x04AFC62B or 0x1CE132D1, the latter being the one that people put on youtube). However, those two files were meant to be combined for a stereo audio file. are actually meant for the left and right sides of headphones, which already makes it HQ (mono audio doesn't sound that good, but stereo adds depth and s--- for the left and right sides). Then, I added a bandwall for the treble to take away the crunchiness of Em's vocals and the raspy dude in the chorus.

    I agree, that and Talkin to my Diary were actually my favorites from Compton... But these new tracks just sound so much more like Dre is back to business for real this time. I don't know, but I think we can expect great things to come, because this is surely just an appetizer!

    I’m loving Gospel — both Dre and Em sound fantastic.

    Dre’s voice is amazing — it’s sort of remarkable that he’s better known for his talent as a producer rather than his voice behind the mic. And Eminem continues to seem so much more like his old self in a way that he hasn’t since maybe 2003-ish — his “f--- with that?” ad lib after the COVID bar actually made me chuckle.

    Can’t wait to see what else Dre (and Em) have in store for us over the next 4 months.

    Not really sure why people are freaking out because of the covid line. If someone like Roddy rich or DaBaby would rap that, no one would say anything.
