MIXTAPES V.S ALBUMS

[theYOCarea]

I'm not sayin that there aren't good/great mixtapes out there, it's just that where it was once a new wave now it's a fad in the place of fresh material. You hear these artists complanin that people don't buy records anymore, well maybe it's because these muthafuckas keep puttin out bullshit jerkin people 4 that hard earned 15-20 dollars and the people respond by dowloading that song or songs they really like. They're wonderin how their gonna save the industry? In the words of Eric B & Rakim here's how you do it: Since we talkin over this def beat I wanna hear some of them def rhymes ya knowm'sayin? And together we can get paid in full.

Yeah I agree there, especially with one certain rapper that continually puts out "mixtapes" with the same recycled material over and over. By all means make your money however you can but don't expect me to show any respect to it.

This site right here has some good ones if you don't mind searching a bit and there free, just limited to how many a day or week or whatever.

I've never even seen a mainstream mixtape for sale in a store anywhere. Datpiff is the place to go for mixtapes.

ALBUM SCENE IS REALLY DIEING OFF.. THERE IS BARLEY A RAP SECTION AT BEST BUY NOWADAYS BUT THE INTERNET IS BOOMING WITH HOT MIXTAPES THAT ARE KILLING RECENT ALBUM RELEASES...

To me, mix tapes are catered to the fans, and albums are catered to the over all people for various reasons like sales etc.

No of days albums have to many "singing hooks/songs" I ant down w/ that....w/ mixtapes I get to pick & choose it's fucking great

I think it depends. if the artist is more mainstream then it seems their albums tend to be a bit more commercial and their mixtapes tend to be more raw. most underground/independent artists dont seem to try to cater to the radio/mainstream so much with their albums so there is much less of a difference between their albums and mixtapes.
