It is the absolute worst when you hear someone drop an album only to say, "damn he had better s**t on his mixtape."

A mixtape should be fun. A time to test out new flows and concepts and perhaps do something you wouldn't normally do.

Telling a rapper to hold back a little is probably the best idea because the album will blow them away.

The only time I feel an artist should put everything into a mixtape is when for whatever reason you simply can't get your album released (i.e. Joe Budden). Then you need to put your best foot forward to hold on to your fans.

Also, telling people who can't make club bangers to stop trying is great advice too. I'm sick of rappers making terrible songs because they are on a major (Papoose). It never works out. Ever.

I just hope some of my favorite new rappers today don't fall into the same abyss
