On the 4th Day of Xmas...

I stick with the music please....
4 Slept On Albums/Mixtapes that you should bump...

4. Freddie Gibbs - BFK
Gangsta Gibbs stayed in his lane. If you familiar, he is at his best riding slow gangsta beats rapping about gangsta shit. That is exactly what he did this album.  There are two versions of this album, one with the infamous DJ Drama talking over the album, the other is without DJ. The difference, one song and the order. The problem is the song that was deleted was a Neptunes produced, vintage Chad and Pharrell production, molly-induced beat with "The Diet".

3. Fabolous - Soul Tape 2
For as long as I can remember, Fab has been the mixtape killer that could never produce an album. That still holds true. Fab is a mixtape legend. I didn't care too much for the first Soul Tape, but the There is No Competition series....ugly. Fab should show these young guys a thing or two about bars. He is in that class of cats that you really don't want to see in the booth like Jadakiss, Nas, Hov, Lupe, Kendrick, 3 Stacks...just to name a few. This remake is the biz only because this used to be my track from Urssher.

2. Sean Price - Sean Price
This mixtape is what a mixtape should be. Original music, short songs that feel like throwaways or just under 3 1/2 mins to not add the unnecessary stuff. This album was just filled with aggressive, rough NYC beats, bars of course and just some gritty make you want to throw on the Tims, a hoody, some baggy jeans, wait....I wear that anyway. Well you get the picture. Big Baby Jesus would be proud of this album is all I'm saying.

1. Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor II
How is the complaint about Lupe is that he raps too smart or talks about too much and that is viewed as negative? Ok, well it partly is true, you have to actually listen to what he is talking about and sometimes you have to google the lyrics and some of the metaphors to understand it but how again is this a bad thing. Lupe goes in all the time, no days off.
