Mixtape Rapper of the Decade

[almighty breeze]

choosin one is hard b/c there is no set way to judge. do u judge by most mxtapes, quality of tapes ; impact. was it better than their albums? anticpation

id break it down to parts

early 00s- 50

mid- Wayne

late- cant be mad at Drake Wale or Gucci/Jeezy (same exact rapper to me)

 

[riddlerap]

i dont get how it can be anyone but 50 or G-Unit.. they started in 1999 with POTD and ran shit til 2007 (not debatable), and then Banks picked back up in late 08 with the 5 or Better series.

 

[flushill401]

Joe Budden (name ANYTHING better than MM2)

Lloyd Banks (Big Withdraw was that SHIT)

50 & G-Unit (Those mixtapes were killing EVERYTHING when they dropped)

 

[the_omniscient]

G-Unit, Jadakiss/D-Block, Slaughterhouse and Chamillionaire are on the forefront. Those artists did what mixtapes are designed to do: get me hyped for their retail albums. Some people can throw Lil' Wayne in there because the result was The Carter III selling a million the first week, but for me Wayne had been overexposing himself, making me not want to buy his albums.

 

[Racafla6]

early part of the decade 50 from like 06 and on wayne has been killing it. Banks has dropped alot of mixtapes the last 2 years but not as much as wayne . styles p had alot to

 

[mr.getwitcha]

As far as quality it goes.

1. Wayne - On a national level this isnt debatable

2. Dipset - A movement like no other

3. 50/G-Unit - Started the mixtape explosion and in the beginning it was fire. Tapered off significantly after 04.

People saying Banks but outside of the net, no one is checking for him. A casual listener couldnt even tell you the last Banks mixtape

Getwitcha

Which is why your opinion is null and void. You don't hear the rest of the country so it's a regional thing for y'all.

[tyger hood]

Curren$y, Wayne(based off the Dedication Series and No Ceilings), and Bun B(dude stays working to keep UGK's name out there).

 

[bmoreeast]

Dipset at the beginning of the decade

Then Jeezy

Now its a tie between Gucci and Wayne

Bwahahahaahaha, yall must live in a bubble. Niggas started checking for Wayne during the Squad Up mixtapes. Sq4 came out around 2004. Dedication 1 is considered a mixtape classic. Joe Buddens would win the award for best mixtape series by internet nerds. I bet casual hip hop listeners dont even know what the series is called. But EVERYONE knows about the Dedication series. As far as G-Unit, yeah they were hot in the beginning, but after about 2004 they fizzled. Niggas dont even remember the last time banks put out a mixtape.
