Let me start by saying hip-hop is not dead as depressing as the game is there are still a bunch of fresh faces keeping it alive. Hundreds of mixtapes drop everyday and only the hot ones really get recognized at the best. Then you got the Mixtapes that sounds like album maybe even better than their actually album. I know everyone and their mamas heard Drake’s “So Far Gone” which boosted him to Mainstream stardom, then you have one of my favorites J. Cole’s “The Warm” then there’s Trey Songz “Anticipation” which had the ladies going crazy over. Artist and material like that is the shit that keeps the game alive and kickin’ so if you wanna make it and keep least some dignity and respect make your mixtape material just as good as your actually ALBUM because Mixtapes that sound like Albums is Whats Popular!
