my favorite rap mixtapes from a time to another time

my favorite mixtapes

based upon influence and mostly from the last gasp of the fire mixtape era, hidden scrolls in here enjoy them and find them on youtube if you want some good recs for great music that i enjoyed as a yuuuuuuute. alright. this is just kind of a freestyle but it has a lot of cool shit in here, im sure someone else knows more, but this is all me.

A$AP Rocky - Live.Love.A$AP (5stars) just changed the sound of the industry and had some of the most legendary songs of the decade fr…cant really understate how this influenced the "lean sound" of the mid 2010s. really brought the aesthetic together and laid the gameplan. just slaps man too. hadnt seen independent dudes w a camera just hustling like this making real classics before here. it was some different shit.

action bronson-blue chips (5stars) super cool sample beats and fun lyrics

freddie gibbs-cold day in hell (5stars) next level gangster rap really

freddie gibbs-bfk (4stars)

currensy - this aint no mixtape (but it was), (4stars)

weekend at burnies and pilot talk 1-2 are great too but not mixtapes theyre albums

rick ross -rich forever (5stars) stay schemin, rich forever, triple beam dreams

migos - no label (bando, versace - invented the flow for a lot of the next 10years)

migos - no label 2 (fight night is an uber banger and a nostalgic song for me personally)

migos invented a whole flow and vibe with their shit and culture series is pretty much hard af, you can even toss that 21/Offset without warning tape on there.

krit- 4eva and a day (5 starsssss) krit - return of 4eva (5 stars) rotation, get right, this is a full banger front to back. this might be my fav of the whole damn group if not for rich homie, gucci, and thug. krit - krit wuz here (4 stars)

danny brown - xxx -(abstract but pretty fire, not fully my bag)

flocka - duflocka rant halftime show (just a sample is sooooo hard)

flocka - lebron flocka james

frank ocean - nostalgia, ultra (influential) 5stars novacaine come onnnnnnnn everyone was having sex to this one fr

Gucci just was releasing hours and hours of quality music on mixtapes and even non-mixtape leftovers. he was just so good during this period, his post prison stuff was good but this stuff was so good. Everybody looking the album was good and his other artists like Scarr, Foogiano, Pooh had a chokehold later but this is from before.

gucci mane - world war 3 lean (activist fire)

gucci mane - trap god (get lost and more)

gucci mane - trap house 1-3 (bangers)

gucci mane - burrprint 2 (everybody lookin)

gucci - mr zone 6

gucci - return of mr zone 6

trap god 2 is pretty good too

2 chainz - TRU Realigion

also his RIP pimp C song was great too

rich homie quan - i promise i will never stop goin in

rich homie quan - still goin in (influential) probably one of my fav mixtapes right here 5 stars easily, investments and type of way omg

young thug - slime season 1+2

young thug - slime season 3 (5stars) come on man this is so amazing

young thug - jeffery 5stars (the 2016 young thug had was like future's 2015 with ds2 and what a time, just fucking insane, maybe even better) five stars for both, two five star tapes same year. right in sequence. melodies insane

gunna - drip season 3 (top off goddamn goat song) jeezy - trap or die jeezy - gangsta party lil wayne could prob make 1 fire dedication tape from the 3 good songs off each of the first 5 dedication tapes wayne - no ceilings yung lean - unknown death 2002 (influential) yelawolf - trunk muzik 50 cent - 50 cent is the future 50 cent - guess who's back dipset - the diplomats vol 1 (influential) tyler - bastard (these were mixtapes bc i got them for free on datpiff, f you) earl - earl (these were mixtapes bc i got them for free on datpiff odd future - radical dj esco - 56 nights dj esco - ET 21 savage - savage mode 21 savage - slaughter king lil b - lots of them: evil red flame, everything based, white flame, i'm thraxx, rain in england [lmfao] god's father i own swag he invented swag, being based, all his digital drip shit was really valuable at the time, best stuff: his 6 kiss album and the song "i'm god" pretty bitch, wonton soup, obviously most of the pack songs, suck my dick hoe, charlie sheen,fuck kevin durant lol

the pack - skateboards 2 scrapers (super classic songs) *

future - beast mode

future - purple reign

future - astronaut status

uzi - perfect love tape uzi - luv is rage 2 future - astronaut status

bankroll fresh - life of a hotboy 2

kevin gates - luca brasi 2 (5stars might be my fav mixtape ever, so consistent so many bangers so much good singing and rapping on this one) kevin gates - luca brasi 1 kevin gates - by any means (****) peewee longway - blue mnm 3 (rerocc is an ultimate fire song) lil bibby - free crack 2

doe b - baby jesus one of my lw sleepers of all time just pure fire. hit you with that thunder, ibaka. god flow is a heater. members only. i was listening to this for days.

kodak black - lil big pac (this one is a super banger 5 stars) vibin in this bih omg, so many heaters on here

chief keef prob the 2nd most influential of this era maybe most influential, him, lil b, migos all way up there. lil b changed the marketing self promotion video making social media game forever and chief keef changed the sound, the stories behind the music and kind of changed the mold in rap from pro wrestling to real fighting with regards to gang politics.

chief keef - back from the dead 1+2 (influential) chief keef - bang chief keef - finally rich (an album but like mannnnn so good, some trash songs tho with the classics) ****

playboi carti - playboi carti lil ugly mane - mista thug isolation (influential) juicy j - blue dream and lean doughboyz cashout - they have so many good mixtapes spaceghostpurrp - blackland radio 666 (influential) dom kennedy - yellow album (my type of party) young dolph had a bunch….east atlanta memphis, rich crack baby…my favs from him thinking out loud/bulletproof/rich slave are not mixtapes though OG Ron C - Fuck Action Series (all screwed bangers, my favs) Chamillionaire DJ Screw Michael Watts Paul Wall Slim Thug ESG Ferrari boyz was an album but i liked it as a mixtape better lol Not My Bag but generally accepted: wiz khalifa - kush and oj (not a fan but Never Been is groundbreaking af, also ink my whole body is a sick ass classic from another tape) acid rap, das racist (pizza hut taco bell is classic), joe budden mood muziks, clipse - we got it 4 cheap (not a personal banger but a lot of ppl like all 3), jay z - s carter, j cole - friday night lights, joey badass - 1999 flatbush zombies first big tape around 2011 mac miller - kids older DJs and tapes (you can just look up their name and try out any of their shit honestly, very historical shit) Tony Touch - Piecemaker series (all of them are great old school NY jams highly highly recommend) DJ Kay Slay - Streetsweeper series (all time classics really) --i think he had papoose, saigon, grafh, those type of rappers but they did do that paul wall song with papoose and alphabetical slaughter which were good DJ Whoo Kid Mr Cee's biggie mixtape Green Lantern (meh) Flex/Fatman Scoop were important but i dont remember bangers mostly like TV show/media DJs.

--i used to get all my culture from datpiff, livemixtapes, worldstar, worldstar youtube, youtube, soundcloud…good sources. and the record stores and random shit

Soundcloud Era mixtapes are diff but idk… 6ix9ine - day 69 (just too influential to not have, music was not that bad) Lil Pump Xxxtentacion Lil Peep $uicideboy$ Denzel Curry Trippe Redd Juice Wrld Lil Yachty Playboi Carti Lil Uzi Vert Wifisfuneral Xavier Wulf Lil Skies Smokepurpp $not Ski Mask Bones chris travis starfoxlaflare idk lol suicideboys, pouya, fat nick,ramirez weiland - packrunner (weiland taught yeat how to record and is more influential than his music is fire but he has some fire like money fetish with yeat and this one is good too for plug stuff) father - whos gonna get fucked first lil mosey kinda counts too, Northsbest is just still a classic lw shoreline mafia ---- the newer mixtape guys like flint crew with Rio, YN Jay or the BlueBucksClan/Drakeo/03 Greedo etc idk if they count but goddamn they make BANGERS, I kinda cut the shit off around 2015 where the distinction between mixtape/album really stopped overall. Some of the shit is after though, it just depends. Houdini from Toronto had a crazy mixtape too…

i think when u put it all together chief keef, lil b, migos, gucci mane, rich homie, young thug so influential and if there was 1 rapper who could have been way more than what he was it might have been Doe B. i think krit and gates prob had the best shit too.
