that bass rhythmic pattern makes it sounds slow and dragging in a way, the ordinary 16th rolling bass would make it more energetic and driving.
aaand I'd love the dub mix, not sure why but it feels to me like they had the instrumentals ready and then just plugged acapella on top of it to warp it up. vocals sound rather disjointed from the instrumental part ever though it's all good in key but the acapella is mixed very isolated from the instrumentals, dry-ish with no depth/space so it sounds like it doesn't belong there.
