What is the best blog era mixtape?

Where is Monster, 56 nights. Y’all weird

He's COMPLETELY wrong about KRIT. That one project kept KRIT relevant for over a decade.

[@MarkHallOfFame]

I’m a Nipsey fan and I agree!!!

[@lukecimino40]

Krit had tons mroe great tapes after that

[@MetalSonic420]

The blog era gave us so many classic mixtapes.

[@lilrog91]

They could’ve dropped How Fly and put 1999 on the list. As great as How Fly was it was a collaboration mixtape. Joey Badass 1999 definitely deserves its flowers.

[@Kev_-qm1je]

How you talk about the blog Era & no Joey Badass, Spitta, Smoke Dza, Stalley, Action Bronson ,Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q, Sir Michael Rocks, or Dom Kennedy Mixtapes on here?? 🤔

Dreamchasers 2 one of the biggest mixtapes of all time. It’s definitely better than Overly Dedicated.

[@marzelsimmons8708]

Facts. If it would of been section 80 I might of said that even tho that might be considered a album but Dreamchashers over od all day

I miss the blog era mixtape. I would check 2dopeboyz on the daily.

[@MrGMovieReviews]

Where’s 1999???

[@flymartian33]

That was towards the tail end of the blog era

[@christopherkanyuka5389]

I respect it.. but sad not to see any Curren$y. I mean Covert Coupe was something else my Gs.

[@CocainePancakes]

Agreed. Curren$y was one of the kings of blog era mixtapes

[@Noirlore]

DC2 was the most downloaded mixtape ever on datpiff how did it lose so quick

[@chrislittles19]

Krit was here is way better than bullets got no name… 🤯

[@LeeBoros]

I’m saying lol. That’s not even nip best mixtapw

[@solebrothernumberONE]

Facts ..once he said that was ready to stop watching but due to boredom ….

[@danielfierro5168]

Bullets Vol.2 was when I first met nip back on Venice beach and let me say that there has never been another artists on Venice beach that carried himself the way he did. That did not force his music on you, knew how to sell himself, and was and is the best project I have ever heard come off the beach. And knew he was going to be special

[@Christian2real]

Facts!!!! This the second episode in a row that disappointed me

[@kweefsweat5628]

Easily

[@demetricedoss8075]

Dedication 2 easily lil Wayne hands down best mixtape ever

[@t.montonmusic9344]

They definitely forgot about that but it's just there opinion and what they pick but D2 definitely definitely would have been on there

[@Osei_Bean_8ryant]

Dedication 2 & trap or die was before the "blog/mixtape era"

[@wlocklea]

Gucci Mane EA Sportscenter, Wilt Chamberlain series, Chicken Talk; Lil Wayne da Drought series, Dedication series, No Ceilings; Jeezy Trap or Die. those ain't blog era tapes but some absolute classics.

[@SMJDC]

I ain’t gonna Lie Tyga’s Well Done and Black Thoughts mixtape was a vibe to me

[@MarkHallOfFame]

You’re not alone fam!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@90sboy13]

True that was peak Tyga in my opinion. He’s a better hit maker now but lyrically and stylistically this was his best form to me.

[@A1KX100]

I know technically it’s not a “mixtape” per se (it was an independent album) but Section.80 by Kendrick was apart of the blog era and an instant classic. Probably should’ve been in these brackets over O.verly D.edicated for me.

[@t.montonmusic9344]

Definitely

[@IScreamedWolf]

Yeah that’s one of the defining projects of the mixtape era to me tbh

[@nwsmgquis]

Kush & OJ I wish y’all put more mixtapes on here but I wanna see more of these!

[@Eng.Creation]

Greatest era for mixtapes

[@YeahBH]

come on LIVE. LOVE. ASAP had so much impact. changed the game like no other on this list. smh

[@gomlbondoc]

KIDS influenced that album and Rocky taking that route.

[@YeahBH]

Live. Love. Asap for sure!

[@Kev_-qm1je]

Curren$y- Covert Coup should of been on here. Alchemist is the GOAT!

[@SayWhat336]

We'll never see an era full of free music ever again sadly

Joey Badass 1999 is at least a top 3 mixtape of all time no argument

Nah

[@kendallvlogz2686]

Krit Wuz Here 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@js491-b2g]

He talked about everything except the actual music on the mixtapes. He compared what was going on around each mixtape and not the actual music. Get someone who knows what they're talking about

[@MetalSonic420]

Da Drought 3 is still the best mixtape of all time.

FACTS

[@FabStripes]

no Soul Tape ?! 😱😱 Edit: ah okay just saw it is only about artist who came out in that era too 😁

[@SL1KR1K]

This needs a part two or a redo cuz ya homies BUGGING!

Friday Night Lights and Kush & OJ are the best. Then More About Nothing and Return of 4eva.

[@sheemrobinson]

Big Sean's finally famous vol. 3 should be up here too

[@GeriDobbs]

Yeaa DC2 washes OD. But as someone mentioned 1999 would of been deserving of a spot on this list. Honorable mention Logic's Undeniable. Man so much good mixtapes out there and this brought back memories. Peace and love
