I think Wayne and Future blurred the line between albums and mixtapes. nikkas treated Wayne mixtapes like albums, shyt No Ceilings just hit streaming services. Future got a lot of projects nikkas fukked with that sounded like albums but weren't labelled as such and etc.

The labels begin to catch on and started to maneuver their way into a 360 deal..

So the mixtapes get album like treatment, but it doesn't count towards your contract...

These bros (WSG and Con) must be really retiring with all these projects dropping :jbhmm:
When WSG says he's retiring I kinda believe him because he was never really into rapping anyways. I don't believe Conway or Benny if they're saying they're retiring. They're just starting to get some crossover love, and they're legitimate emcees that clearly love the craft and like to work. Gunn has a lot of other interests. I know he bought ownership in a wrestling promotion, and he's into fashion and stuff. I can believe he's ready to be done with rapping and move onto other things. The other 2 not as much.

I always think it's weird when stuff with all original production is called a mixtape. It started being weird for me when Section 80 by Kendrick and Return of 4Eva by Krit were called mixtapes. Both of those felt like albums to me. I was surprised to find out as time went on that they were considered mixtapes.

It's especially weird to call a lot of these Griselda projects mixtapes when they have actual mixtapes. All of them have that On Steroids series with Green Lantern where they rap over old beats from Jay-Z, Pun, Black Rob, GZA, Sean Price, etc. To me, that's what a mixtape is. a MIX of original joints, freestyles, remixes, etc. It's a mix of different shyt. Hence the name. If it's all original material, then it's not a mix of anything.

:mindblown: I mean I know debating this or arguing my point is stupid in 2020, because everyone calls everything a 'tape' now. Even genuine albums where the artist says it's called an album (like Alfredo or Tea in China) are still called mixtapes by many fans.

I remember when Bishop Lamont was dropping albums with a level producers but they we're called 'street albums'. His aftermath debut never came out yet he had three legit albums under his belt.

I swear every other release by these cats are labelled their debut.
That’s why he mentioned his disdain for the industry politics. He been on some fukk the industry now that he’s moving with Shady because they are the ones pushing back the album and Hall and Nash 2. I feel like they never should’ve signed to them

I'm pretty sure the Drake feature was on Anza, and that Drake's verse got cut off (for some reason; I don't know why) and replaced with Armani Caesar.

I watched the stream where he played a lot of the album and he said "It's coming in just a couple weeks. People think since I just dropped King to a. God that it's gonna be a while but it's just a few weeks away. October it's dropping." He also told Elliot Wilson in Rap Radar that the album has been submitted and approved by Shady, and that it's fully mixed and ready to go.

He talks some about it here.

Rawse, wayne, tity & drake either on this or the 'deluxe' version of king to a god

Updated with Anderson Paak feature

Time-coded


edit: @Xtraz2 I'm pretty sure we're stuck with Tear Gas breh. There's no sample and the features are too big name for him to leave it off at this point.
