RR’s ’09 Best Mixtapes: #1 Drake “So Far Gone”
What more can I say to you? You heard it all. Hov already told you it’s his “album” of the year. (At least before BP3 dropped. Ha.) Okay, you love to hear the story again and again so here goes. Aubrey Graham was a child actor who became a rap star with the right music at the right time. The masses made “Best I Ever Had” and “Successful” hits before anyone got Drizzy’s name on the dotted line. But it was the live shows were frenzied young ladies from Chi-town to H-Town sang frantically to songs like the Screw-ed up “November 18th” and the jammin’ Kanye jack “Say What’s Real” that solidified the T Dot man’s two million dollar check stub. Sylvia dissed him but she got him in the end. And now we not-so-patiently wait for Thank Me Later to be So Far Gone on steroids. You know, another classic. No pressure.
Yep!
Makes sense.
he made it easy..
Decent list but 1 of 50’s tapes shoulda been top 5…and both shoulda been mentioned. No stannery here.
yeah its the best tape this year but where’s War Angel on the list and if “The Pink Lavalamp” counts for this year it should be on here too I DON’T CARE WHAT NOBODY SAYS
This list is BOGUS! Fuck Jew Rap!
AJB4, I fucked with The Pink Lavalamp, actually found that joint pretty listenable. The kid CH is talented, but he’s a fucktard.
And outside of a few cats on here, I don’t know or haven’t heard of anyone rockin with 50’s tapes this year. I got WA, but never listened to it. I can’t really say if it was good or not, but I know it had little to no buzz in my area.
Drizzy a beast ,VVs clarity flow.Your favorite rapper’s favorite freshman.Get the memo haterz!!!!
AH Yeah YN I fucking Feel Ya…..No Homo?
The kid CH is talented, but he’s a fucktard.
^
*dead* lol
Clasic mixtape can play the whole CD wit out skipping a song …..the so far gone mixtape was better then “The Blueprint 3”
I disagree with So Icy Boi. I don’t think it was better than The Blueprint 3, but it’s still good.
lyrically Drake is> 50 + yayo + jim jones+ most south rappers+ half of the westcoast.
Hahaha
just like expected/ Rapradar on the Drake wave/payroll. LOL
Miss Cleo is my wife.
^^^ is dat a good or bad thing?
@3Stacks
@3stacks thats not saying much.
^^^^^
Plenty of rappers are better lyricists than 50…But can they make a song that you wanna listen to?? (I.E. Slaughterhouse)
@MC
Co-S-ign. I agree with Drake’s placement on the list. And I agree that one of Fif’s tapes should have made the cut. His antics sometimes overshadow the reality that he is an incredible MC and writer.
@whowantwhat
grow up. we off that.
Thank Me Later = 730,000 copies in the first week
Will be the highest first week debut of the year, unless Ye’ drops some NEXT shit.
i aint even a wiz khalifa fan but he definitely deserved a spot on this. but w/e this list is retarded.
@Tame
I didn’t intend to…..
*testing keyboard*
@IT’SWHATISAID
He needs to re-invent himself in 2010…Just music…No bullshit
@THUNDERKUSH i doubt it will sell dat much he buzz went down….And Kanye want do over 730k his last album sold 450,000 and his white fans still mad at him about dat Taylor Swiift shit
awwwwwww hell nahhhhhhhh!!! J.Cole’s shoulda been #1
No Wiz Khalifa? Fail.
@ So Icy Boi!
” his white fans still mad at him about dat Taylor Swiift shit”
Dude, don’t be so quick to pass off your opinion as fact, you risk sounding ignorant. I’m white, I dont give a fuck about the Taylor-swift fiasco, in fact I found it quite entertaining. And I assure you I’m not the only one. As for the rest of the people who are stil “mad” at Kanye, they’ll conveniently contract a case of amnesia as soon as Mr West drops the next biggest hit”.
i’m ma kill this jew when i see him
@Jew Killer
Dude, it’s 2010. GROW THE FUCK UP.
The ignorant, racist state of mind bullshit is so last millenium. Stop trying to be an internet gangster, we all know if you tried to pull that shit in the REAL world you’d get your ass kicked ten times before you even hit the ground.
#WeOffThat
I love both Drake and J. Cole. I think that the difference between Drake and J. Cole is their rapping style. Drake rapping style has a storytelling…looking @ his raps in an abstract form like I can picture everything he is saying/rapping but I’m not really emotionally attached to the song!
J. Cole= Rapping style is based more on real/raw emotion……I can feel everything he is saying!
Uptown is the best song on that shit I wouldve released that as a single i remember going bacc to cali for summer vacation and thats all I heard thats what got me on the mixtape and i still bump the song every morning before i start my day 1st song in the car I dont rocc with the other shit as much but Uptown and Kid Cudi’s Soundtracc To My Life I gotta hear those two songs by the end of my day
and he shouldve put Killer on that EP
@THUNDERKUSH if you think we off that the let Drake do an interview on a big international network fully admitting that he is jewish or talk about been jewish and see what gon happen to him.
your azz better be careful going to any concert that involve this jew
^ Is Borat serious?
@ Jew Killer
HAHAHHA your ignorance knows no boundaries does it? Aubrey wears his CHAI necklace around everywhere, go check the VIBE magazine cover. He raps about being jewish – go listen to “Room For Improvement”, he fully admits and embraced his jewish heritage then, AND STILL DOES NOW. I’ve been to his shows, dude is a force to be reckoned with.
You better go grab some toilet paper and wipe your mouth, cuz you’re spewing ignorant bullshit all over the place. It’s best to keep quiet when you don’t know what you’re talking about, especially if you want anybody to take you seriously.
there’s a difference between rapping about been jewish and talking about been jewish …..jewish people don’t talk about been jewish in public cause they fucking scared
I disagree with So Icy Boi. I don’t think it was better than The Blueprint 3, but it’s still good.
^
how is it not better. I can’t think of one reason
IM JEWISH you fool, and right about now you sound like somebody out of the “elders of Zion” movie. grow up son!!! go educate yourself before you speak.
Dang, a lot of good points on this post, Wiz, could’ve gotten a spot, J. Cole definitely…
@MC yeah, def. just music. If 50 doesn’t elevate, he may become irrelevant
@THUNDERKUSH you just said you was white now you Jew? make up ya mind
@ So Icy Boi!
Are you an R-Tard? being white doens’t automatically disqualify me from being jewish. White is a color, jewish is a religion.
you must be either
a) 13 years old
b) completely un-educated
c) have some chromosomes missing
#FuckOuttaHere
[…] #1 Drake So Far Gone […]
@ THUNDERKUSH does been a Muslim makes u an Arab .. just because ur religion is Jewish doesn’t make u a Jewish moron
hahahaha WOW…I’m not even going to dignify that with a rebuttle just a “WOW”…ya’ll are funny man.
^^^ you dont no what the fuk you wana be LMAO you cant even respond to what “WOW” said
THUNDERKUSH is a dumbass.
I’m nit a drake fan..it makes sense because of what he was able to do from that mixtape..but I personally feel j Cole mixtape was much better much deeper and sounded more of like an album…bar for bar he is a better rapper
” A wise man told me don’t argue with fools
Cause people from a distance can’t tell who is who ”
– I bid you adieu –
BULLLSHIT!!!! 50 CENT’S WAR ANGEL MIXTAPE WAS WAAAAAAAY BETTER THAN THIS SHIT AND IT DIDNT EVEN MAKEEEE THE LIST!! LMAO..BUT HEY ITS RAPRADAR!!! THISIS50 GETS WAY MORE VIEWS THAN THIS SITE…THESE LIST DOESNT AFFECT ANYTHING BUT MAKE THE PPL WHO VISIT THIS SITE CONVERSATE…ONLY 40 COMMENTS?? CMON SON!!
Thunderkush: I don’t know what’s worse: your opinions, or your blog. Please stop punishing us. Everything is subjective, unless it’s your embarrassing proclamations. Look up the word HUBRIS.
What happen to War Angel LP….that was way better than Forever King
^^^^^^^^^^CO-SIGN!!!!
all of yall are a bunch of idiots arguing over dumb shit on the internet and flipping each others names and trying to diss each other// fuckin immature kids
not takin sides on any of this bullshit but at least that thunderkush kid made some sense/ more than the rest of yall idiots
drizzy deserves the number one spot- “so far gone” was the most far reaching mixtape in a minute, not to mention that it had something in it for everyone who appreciates good music
@ Thunderkushisaposer
HUBRIS ?? nigga u serious? dont be tryin to accuse others of HUBRIS actions and statements, when yours are completely exemplary of such idiocy, fuckin moron.
I’m trying to see where we can go with this http://www.reverbnation.com/blastmusicconcepts we ready.
