Really? We are using that as a metric now?
Ah well, I'll just keep enjoying them.
Never said that it had to be good to be considered an album. Just that my idea of a mixtape is MC's rapping over other rappers beats, free styles, maybe 2 or 3 new songs but just hype a new album or the MC in general. Now they're all new songs constructed like albums, be em bad or good.
You're the one who brought it up lol this makes no sense. I really don't see what you're talking about. They're both albums, just one you can go buy at Target and the other you're gonna have to buy online.

I agreed. The term "mixtape" lost its meaning years ago. Labels now required certain artist to release mixtapes for P.R. purposes. If the mixtape is not generally well received, they know how to move forward from there. Non-signed artist use it the same way as well. It helps them get venue access and opening acts. "Mixtapes" are the new "Demo's" for non-signed artist.

ok it's been a few days, what's the verdict on that Dice Game album from Appolo Brown/Guilty Simpson? I'm hesitant to get it because while I love Appolo Brown, I'm not a fan of Guilty. I still remember getting that mehhhh album he did with Madlib...
Dude is just such a basic rapper. He has some good verses (like on Alchemist's album, and a few on the Random Axe album) but I can't really fuck with him for prolonged periods of time.

The production is A+ material and the rapping, while not very skilled, isn't necessarily bad either. He holds his own on the mic. His skills are pretty basic from what I can tell. Still, the album is definitely worth picking up. I love it.
THANK you. I'm so tired of people gassing Guilty up. To me he deserves little to none of the attention he gets. I honestly feel the same way about Black Milk, some undeserved hype from underground cats there. I'd probably not care if people hadnt put them on so hard a few years back i guess tho.
i just heard lil b's dont like remix

I loved Section.80, more so than GKMC. Different strokes and all is what it looks like.
True, but there is a certain charm to his simplicity, I don't know, I wouldn't sy he's dope, but he's not offensive. He does get some amazing beats though.
When it comes to offensively boring rappers over dope production, nobody beats Phat Kat. That entire album is filled with great production, too bad he sucks on the mic.
Black Milk is a really dope producer and an average to bad rapper, yeah. His beats are really nice though, although his last album was really mediocre.

Never been a fan of any of Guilty's output and I've tried (tried with both Ode and OJ Simpson). I like Black Milk but I'd never go around singing his praises or anything. His production was also a lot better when he wasn't using live drums.

Tronic deserved all the praise it got. That's a really good album IMO. Black Milk's output has been a bit mediocre since then, but the praise wasn't "undeserved."

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
the whole album pretty much turned me off of the whole new west movement..
It wasn't ok my god this is sooooo fucking type of stuff just very meh.. and with the hype very disappointing to me...
I really like his studio album tho..

This is why we get along, you took the words right out of my mouth.
RZA releases alternate mix of Kanye's White Dress. Sounds so dope. I think I like this version a tiny bit more.
I agree but at the same time Section.80 showed a lot of promise, even though it's not my thing at all.
based god got off on this shit lmao
trolling the fuck out of the shit he mastered.
its so lame that gold is actually a successful album these days.
For rappers.
Super spot on
Pretty much how I feel too

Love it, couldn't agree more. But then my earbuds break and i only hear half of the song...
I feel like Section.80 IS cohesive and I don't find any throwaway tracks, I think it's one of the most consistent albums out there. But I think that's also why I like GKMC a little better, because nothing on Section.80 really STANDS OUT (maybe besides HiiPower). Like, I don't ever find myself wanting to hear a specific song from the album like when I'm in the whip or something. If I'm gonna listen to Section.80, I'm gonna listen to the whole thing, if that makes sense. I also love GKMC for the story it tells.
Edit: Side note, anybody on the fence about checking out Dice Game, I implore you to do so. I like this album more each time I've listened to it. Becoming a favorite for the year. Apollo Brown production >>>

I don't hate it, I've heard it five/six times, so I like some tracks but there's a lot of cringe worthy punchlines and hooks. I get why people like it, and can be considered aoty for some.

Truth. I don't remember many people hating on it last year outside of Toku. IIRC I had it in my top 5 last year

Lmao... Watched this shit again last week. Dude fucked up by bugging out and fleeing to africa.
Eh...
I can see this. Ive seen GZA back when he had energy, and recently when its like he aint slept for 3 days and was about to take a nap then decided to come on stage. Shits disappointing. But i dont get how his lame live performances hinder your enjoyment of his earlier recordings? Dude has a Hip hop classic. Rest of his albums are great too.
Shame on a ninja. RIP Big baby jesus.
Ayo whoever started this Gunit conversation is great people. Beg For Mercy still bangs.
Section 80 was boring to me. Some good tracks but nothing special.
Ive never heard anything by The Weekend. Someone link me to the good shit?
Coming soon.

Adam Levine?? Surprised to see 50 throw some random no name rapper on his single
Produced by S1. Mildly exited. Was worried it was going to be an Alex Da Kidd joint.
Coming soon.
