That warm, droning hip hop bass

This probably has a really simple answer but for some reason it's been stumping me. The warm harmonics on deep 808 bass that you hear in beats by Mike Will Made It, DJ Mustard, Boi-1da, etc. What I can do so far sounds extremely close, but it's just missing something I can't even explain.

Example at 0:44 in this track:

Tried saturating an 808?

Basically, some light distortion and a frequency peak around 150 on an 808, see where it peaks and try it, it will sound exactly like it.

Yeah to me it sounds like he's saturated it because the low notes are so low that you really only feel them; so in order to really hear them you have to add some harmonics. Also it kind of sounds like he's playing two octaves on those low notes, because it sounds like there's not just harmonics but a sine wave above it.
