Migos - Rich Shooters
69
This is the sound that formed the backbone of Migos' music. They sound so at home over Zaytoven production. There are really three songs that are must-hears, Mama Had A Fit, Night Time, and Wrist Game. These songs appear on Streets On Lock Volume 1 but are riddled with DJ tags (some good, some annoying). Those three songs really prop the tape up but there are a handful of other good songs too. It's not too notable but Rich Shooters is a quality tape that Migos fans should check out.
Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty
68
I'm not an OutKast fan but I do like some of their songs. A Big Boi album just makes sense, especially a few years after the group entered hibernation. The album is loaded with features, which kinda struck me as odd at first. Big Boi is a talented rapper and could've easily done without people like Yellawolf. In fact, his performance throughout this tape is good. He's versatile. The problem is, the highs on here aren't well, very high. Again, I'm just not a big fan so maybe that means "I ... read more
Usher - COMING HOME
61
Usher is slated to perform during halftime of the Super Bowl later today so it only makes sense that he drops an album 2 days before to capitalize on the attention he'll receive. Mary J. Blige pulled this same stunt two years ago. COMING HOME is Usher's first album in what feels like forever. He'll pop up on features every now and then but he's clearly entered legacy act territory, which isn't a knock btw. Unfortunately, COMING HOME is a mediocre collection of mainstream R&B. Ursher's pen ... read more
Various Artists - Romeo Must Die: The Album
54
The Aaliyah tracks are great obviously. Come Back In One Piece (feat. DMX) is such a bouncy and fun joint, that is probably relatable. Her aura in that video is off the charts. Most of this soundtrack, however, is wack. The trend of enlisting randoms for compilations has never worked. Even some of the Superfriends artists faulter.
G-Unit, 50 Cent, DJ Whoo Kid - G-Unit Radio Part 21: Hate It Or Love It
70
Game's relentless dissing got 50 back in the studio to get at him via the mixtape circuit. Obviously, nothing is as potent as 300 Bars & Runnin' but the music is still good. 50 is really just jabbing Game throughout the tape, although a concentrated effort would've been real dope. I'm Not Rich, Still Lyin' came out around this release but it's more of a novelty at this point. The production is solid and the non-50 songs are fine overall too. I was glad to see this series finally get an ... read more

Probably the biggest bust in rap history, Papoose had the NYC mixtape circuit in a chokehold pretty much until 2007 when Wayne kicked it into overdrive. But his reach expanded past NYC and with the ...
