Rough/hard sound

I recently asked myself how to achieve a kinda "hard" sound like in this song :

https://soundcloud.com/samibaha/chunk-g-o-d-m-o-d-e-edition

How did he manage to get the kicks and the 808 so powerful , when I try to mix them like that the mastering limiter always takes away the energy from them and it sounds dull an boring. Which plugins could help achieving this kinda sound?
PS: I think the producer of this particular song uses FL studio

thx
 
An easy way to get your 808s through is adding saturation. I don't know if you do this already, but saturation will strengthen the kick and make it punch better and retain its strength in the track longer. Another good way is to add distortion. Not enough to mess up the sound, but enough that it cuts hard.
