Great track But it's the only such one on the whole album So they can still do it, but choose not to..

BTW, this thread got me thinking, two things in fact: 1) There is a curious rend of young artists going back to and recreating hip hop style of the old, and what those styles are is very telling about what was of value and what was not back in the days, even if it's not mainstream now and will...

01. Lil B - I'm Tupac (4:42) 02. Lil B - F*ck Em (Remix) (5:44) 03. Lil B - The BasedGod Is Perfect (4:37) 04. Lil B - Bring The Beat Back (3:11) 05. Lil B - All Day (3:25) 06. Lil B - Stab You When Dead (1:32) 07. Lil B - Be Brave Welcome Home (3:26) 08. Lil B - Hip Hop 101 (3:25) 09. Lil B -...

I was starting to wonder what's was going on with Lil B - no mixtapes for quite a while. Then he releases 5-6 mixtapes worth of material in a day...

Not remotely true
