Kay Slay just dropped an album like a week ago, which was pretty decent (or at least not as wack as I expected it to be). Big Mike slowly faded away, just like the mixtape industry in general is going to soon. Clinton Sparks... well :shrug: He didn't exactly have an illustrious career to fall off in the first place, but I liked his tapes.

Funkmaster Flex > Kay Slay anyway :lol:

And the .gif in your sig... *thumbs up*

yeah i know i must admit tho i thought kay slay album was the biggest crap for a while , i could actully barely bare to hear the songs xcept for may b 3 :lol:

big mike did fade away i guess its like nigga was here and now he gone? :shrug: but his big boy game tapes and few other old ones use to come bangin well he had a good run! now hes probally got a 9 - 5 :lol:

clinton sparks - use to smash his old tapes but then he went really sh*t! lol this new beat he has made for game sucks ass , his latest alot of beats suck ass in general!

funkyflex obviously killed it with his sh*t! , damn tho i just listenind to sme old big mike and slay tapes and was thinking damn they use to go hard on these cds! :)

[guncity]

also ...dj smallz use to be the sh*t for the southern smoke cds .. up untill it came to the last few of them!

now his cds suck with random ass names that look like they been pulled outta LUCKY DIP!

:lol:

He caught the Big Mike affect and faded as well. The mixtape industry is going to die soon. Meaning 90% of these lame ass plug-n-play DJs aren't going to have a hobby anymore. No more downloading the latest songs of Boxden, zipping them together, and calling it a mixtape.

From what I understand Smallz just smartened up... instead of tending to the public by collecting exclusives from big artists and trying to sell the tapes, he just charges one unknown artist to host/produce their mixtape.

Mixtapes suck nowadays anyway. Aside from the once in a while true Evil Empire exclusive or a DJ Drama Gangsta Grillz edition (featuring a GOOD artist), good riddance to mixtapes, of the street kind.

If anyone should continue dropping mixtapes, it's the up-and-coming freshmen/blog kids like B.o.B, Asher Roth, XV, Nero, etc.

im a fan of the old street kind mixtapes , but yeah asher would tear some apart , i cant see him makeing many tho to be honest....

its awkward some people on this site that say camron - boss of all bosses n sh*t like that was great music/hip hop or wutever/.... i see them saying that and i think wow what the fu*k is your music taste doing cause its fu*ked up! but o well my whole point of this thread was that mixtapes use to be banging and something i actully looked forward to like i looked forward to those monthly kay slay or big mike or dj smallz tapes! :) :lol:

This is the pattern of mixtapes:

Back then = done for the love of music
Currently = dont for the love of money
New era (Asher, Charles Hamilton, etc.) = done for the love of music

Go to any of these new cats' blogs and they'll post their own entire discography for free. I'm sure they want to get paid but first and foremost, they want to be heard and show appreciation to their fans, which I respect.

Back then was simply the golden era of music. Artists loved putting out music and fans loved BUYING it. It'll never get better than that.

But I can't front, once in a while, a decent gem drops like Fab's tape. But for every one gem, there's 50+ wack ass tapes. Anyone with a copy of Photoshop, iTunes, and an internet connection is a DJ apparently. It's coming to end though. I also know a lot of mixtape cover designers (such as myself) are gonna lose a lot of work :lol:

[guncity]

you couldnt of put it in a better way about a gem dropping then having 50 ass mixtapes between another one!

but yeah back then it was defiantly done for the love of music! sh*ts a pitty about now but o well your right about we still got a few good people bringing material for the love of it.
