I spent my Friday night downloading mixtapes from Henry Adaso’s 10 Best Mixtapes of 2011 list. Other than Houston’s own Delo and The Voice of the Young South Big KRIT, I was not familiar with any of the mixtapes on the list. I am getting familiar with Fashawn’s Higher Learning Vol. 2 as I write this post, actually. Interesting.
Moving Along. Considering you care so much about my opinion, I’ve decided to let you know what mixtapes I think you should have in 2011, in no particular order:
There has to be a rule written somewhere that states one must have a Big KRIT tape in the deck if he’s riding a slab, or as Big KRIT calls it, A “Time Machine”. If you enjoy the Country Rap tunes from Pimp C and the social commentary of David Banner, you’d appreciate Big KRIT (King Remembered In Time).
Favorite Song: Rotation, Made Alot, Time Machine, Players Ballad, Another Naive Individual Glorifying Greed and Encouraging Racism (YES! they are all my favorite, sue me)
When I was introduced to Frank Ocean I had no idea who Odd Future was. I was also told that Frank Ocean was a hybrid Drake. Well, I didn’t get Drake AT ALL!
Favorite Song: We All Try
Delo- Hood Politics 2: Acknowledgement
Hands Down the Best mixtape from Houston in 2011. Delo is authentic, and unlike most rappers, I believe him.
Favorite Song: AAAGGGGGGGHHH
