it seems like the mixtape circuit has been blowing up during the past year and rappers/djs are starting to push mixtapes more than albums. i was @ tower the other day checking out the bay area mixtapes... all of them was pretty much the same shit. team, yuk, jacka, quinn, 40, and a bunch of nobodies getting a free verse... i copped one and wasnt intrigued. but, ive heard papoose's mixtapes (cause thats all he got) and dude spits some real/sick shit on his tapes. shit that makes a mixtape worth buying. other than him, all other mixtapes are just a bunch of recycled shit, mixed with nobodies spitting a verse, mixed with the dj screaming aint cutting it.
