"Mixtapes" are ruining the fucking rap scene. GODDAMN THEY SUCK....In order to qualifiy as a mixtape you have to have the following qualities:
1) A DJ with annoying reverb screaming shit like "FALL BACK" or "WHOAHHHHH"
2) Horrible shitty mixes with the vocals 20 decibals over the track.
3) A bunch of tired ass pre-styles (not freestyles) over everyone else's beats.
4) Volume jumps so that half the tracks are low volume, half the tracks are high volume.
5) Garbage bragging and bullshit punchlines on every fucking song. You're not allowed to actually make a song ABOUT something.
6) A diss track to some other rapper that nobody's heard about and/or 50 Cent.
Please... quantity does NOT FUCKING EQUAL QUANTITY. I am not going to pay for a half assed effort. Yeah putting out "Mixtapes" keeps your "Name in the street" - and it's cheap promotion - BUT IT'S NOT GOOD FUCKING PROMOTION BY A LONGSHOT!! I'M TIRED OF IT.
JUST FOLLOW THE OLD FORMULA, PUT AN LP OUT MIXED, MASTERED AND QUALITY, BUT BEFORE YOU DROP IT, DROP AN EP WHICH IS ALSO *MIXED* AND *MASTERED* AND ABOVE ALL ELSE QUALITY.
