I'm so grateful there are artists like Aesop Rock out there keeping real Hip Hop alive
amongst all this mumbly half-arsed shite the youngsters these days pass off as 'rap music'.
Is it just me though, or has YouTube's sound quality taken an enormous nose dive recently? There's absolutely no dynamic range anymore. Barely noticeable during speech, but music sounds like it's being played through a shit FM radio.
I suppose they're trying to push for their 'YouTube Music' service that absolutely no cunt is interested in being that they're a good 5 years late to the party. Strange way to do it, though. Mind you, the whippersnappers of today probably wouldn't recognise high audio fidelity if it bit them on the arse. It's all about bass now, innit. Sorry, I'm rambling now.

YT audio has always been nasty. And I understand it tends to darken videos too.
Re-uploads really cut into the quality too, worse than VHS copying.
The loudness war pre-dates youtube, and we all lost. There are some orchestral recordings on there that have proper quiet bits and proper loud bits, as well as some movies with proper cinematic dynamics, so I don't know about it being a YT issue.

Maybe the copyright owners have some say in the matter.

I don't have figures for YT, but Spotify taps out at 128kbps, so I imagine YT is no better and likely worse. But, as you say, the 'kids' probably don't care as they listen through earbuds, laptop/tablet speakers or Beats (which are godawful, and essentially a scam).
