Finally dropped today. Get into it. Should be a classic.
WIZ KHALIFA - KUSH & OJ
The Cool Kids - Gone Fishing
THE COOL KIDS. Good stuff from 2009. This tape is really really smooth. Super easy to listen from beginning to end. Beats are super dope. DJ DON CANNON mix so you know it's legit, and despite his numerous drops, it's still really listenable.
HIGHLIGHTS
Hammer Brothers
Gold Links
Cinnamon
The Art Of Noise
Pennies (Feat. Ludacris & Bun B)
THE COOL KIDS - GONE FISHING
Wiz Khalifa - Burn After Rolling
Alright, my sister and I never really saw eye to eye on music, probably because of our four year age gap. Anyway, when I was back home, we found a common love for mixtapes and she told me I had to hear this MC WIZ KHALIFA. Immediately I thought it was stupid based on his name and the way she said it but eventually, I decided to download BURN AFTER ROLLING and wow, I am an idiot for sleeping on this tape until Christmas. Also incredibly jealous that my sister got to see him and YELAWOLF in New York City on a recent trip.
WIZ KHALIFA is one the best young MCs coming up right now and the fact that he usually spits about weed, I'm a big fan. His rhymes are so smooth and they blend in seamlessly into a lot of major beats, which makes these tracks all classics. Favourite track on this tape is definitely ODE TO NAKED POP STARS, dedicated to the CASSIE and RIHANNA n00dz of last year over DRAKE's BEST I EVER HAD. Must hear. Also, amazing album art, probably one of the best of all time.
Highlights:
Take Yo Bitch
The Thrill (EMPIRE OF THE SUN - WALKING ON A DREAM) <-- ANOTHER MUST HEAR
Say U Will (KANYE WEST - SAY YOU WILL)
Ode To Naked Pop Stars (DRAKE - BEST I EVER HAD)
WIZ KHALIFA - BURN AFTER ROLLING
Lupe Fiasco - Enemy Of The State: A Love Story
This is a must have tape from 2009. LUPE FIASCO, probably the most underrated MC in the world dishes out gem after gem on this tape. FFS, the first track he's rapping over RADIOHEAD and as weird as that sounds, it's so smooth you'd never know it wasn't his beat. There's even a Street Fighter drop (shoutout to DHALSIM!). No DJ drops other than the odd Enemy Of The State line and not one filler track, mixtape flows so smooth you'll have it on repeat for days.
Highlights:
The National Anthem (RADIOHEAD)
Yoga Flame (LIL' WAYNE - FIREMAN)
Popular Demand (CLIPSE)
These niggas slower than some dial-up
I be on my broadband
These niggas still downloadin’
Lu finished, you still up on YouSendIt, uShare, zShare
How long you going to be there?

Curren$y - Smokee Robinson
Fresh off probably the best mixtape of 2009 (HOW FLY collabo feat. WIZ KHALIFA) is the Hot Spitta CURREN$Y dropping SMOKEE ROBINSON. The former LIL' WAYNE protégé continues his domination of the stoner rap circuit with tons of dope lines on this tape. Another plus is that producer DJ DON CANNON actually doesn't ruin this tape like he has in the past with his overuse of his drops.
Highlights:
Lemon Kush (GUCCI MANE - LEMONADE)
187 On The Beat (DR. DRE & SNOOP DOGG - DEEP COVER)
Vision... (KANYE WEST - LAST CALL)
CURREN$Y - SMOKEE ROBINSON
