"finally confirmation y'all really don't read my posts!"
Sorry, bad threadiquette.
"it's the greatest song in the world IMO"
Cant really argue with that.
"life's a 50/50 gamble" is the album""the whole album - once upon a time in america - is great stuff"
Absolutely, good luck getting a physical of either. Lifes a 50/50 is basically impossible (as it was never officially released), and Once Upon A Time goes for a steep price. Both are dead good. Because it was my entry point for these two, I'll always have love for the Hall and Oates flipped 'My Crew Cant Go For That', which I got from the Nutty Professor soundtrack in 96:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UR6YfJGIX4Kinda corny but still gritty with the bars.
Another standout from 50/50:

Killer Mike is also supposed to have an album with El-P coming out this year

woah really? interesting mix there

Last Killer Mike I heard was some of that twofer he put out. there were a few good cuts on there (the track with Cube, surprisingly, iirc)

Got that "bigger than hip hop" bass-line groove going on, which is always a good thing.

Curren$y - Return to the Winner's Circle is another mixtape that didn't get listed (presumably because the talk of it was on his own thread, not in this one)

squadda b - i smoke because i don't care about life (on mediafire too)
posted about this dude two days ago & just saw this linked on rnt. one of my favourite mixtapes of the year, these kids are insanely creative w/ production, some of which is breathtaking, beautiful. lots of delay & cut up vocal loops, and huge bass. i could see this getting big but i'm not sure if there's room for another group of kids making inspired rap music in a world w/ lil b & odd future

Back on topic... I've really been digging Squadda B's tape after track 5 at least and the first half of the recent Young L tape, it goes a bit shit by the second but this is mixtape land so its expected.
― jimitheexploder, Friday, 4 March 2011 00:05 (thirteen years ago) link
I posted a link to a Clams Casino beat tape on the Lil B thread. It's got stuff he's done for these guys as well as B and Soulja Boy. Really impressive.
― Number None, Friday, 4 March 2011 00:06 (thirteen years ago) link
a yo jimi, its theShipment.
Been feeling that Squadda B a little. The bass is yanked on the mix, dig that.

these are my favourites in rough order of the tapes i've heard from the big list tpp posted w/ some others that weren't on it. i usually have a hard time keeping up w/ rap releases but i guess i've got a lot of spare time lately because i've heard most of them
yg hootie - flight to the motherland (weird that this is my favourite/most listened to bc in some ways it is kind of weak, but he's a really interesting rapper and i keep coming back to it)raekwon - shaolin vs wu tangsquadda b - i smoke because i don't care about lifewaka flocka flame - salute me or shoot me 3killa kyleon - candy paint texas platesgunplay - inglorious bastardjuicy j - rubber band business (thought this was last year)young l - domo kunmouse on tha track - swagga fresh freddietravis porter - music money magnumstity boy - codeine cowboy
some others i listened to briefly & didn't stick (trae, young dro) but might revisit. avoided gucci 2 times, still haven't gotten around to roach gigz, bricksquad, fiend, lil b

one song i wanted to share from that yg hootie tape is this one yg hootie - west hattnin which contains the perplexing lyric "i'm just licking and i'm gliding and i'm riding on the pussy niggas/i'm in the club on point & all my boys on point, we gone lick yo ass funk." so lol how it seemingly unknowingly pushes generic homophobia into a bizarelly aggressive threat to lick some dude's ass
― flopson, Friday, 4 March 2011 00:21 (thirteen years ago) link
oh and the project pat tape should be added to tpp's list, some great stuff on that

Nice. I do have to say that going from all the visual puns during Wayne's part to none during Corey's just emphasizes how blah his part is in comparison tho.

the gunz verse is all dazzle & no substance & that makes it worse than if it was some brain dead gudda gudda nonsense
i can't remember if i used this analogy before but it's like gob bluth doing magic on AD -- there's a bunch of smoke, but nothing happens

Not to defend Gunz' verse (which I could take or leave - Jordan otm about all dazzle, no substance), but I never understand when rap fans get all up in arms about weird slant rhymes.

approximate rhymes are plentiful and inevitable in rap and are often inoffensive or even clever and creative. and sometimes they're really dumb, and the rapper chooses to beat you over the head with it by opening a verse with one.
― Rovi Wade (some dude), Friday, 4 March 2011 04:19 (thirteen years ago) link
that line as i hear it is "Word to ya mama/ahm outta mah lima/bean" and there's enough slurred inner-syllabic rhyme there where it never bugged me
