    Ali is a very underrated mixtape and there was a time where people would rank Mike G right behind Earl. Award Tour EP is also pretty good and is basically a collab tape with Vince Staples. He really shot himself in the foot by not contributing to OF Tape Vol 2 outside of Oldie

    Also I think Tyler only did one or two songs on here, Left Brain and Syd handled Mike’s production for the most part.

    he had forest green on there and that was pretty popular but yea he wasn't on there much

    Mike G - Ali

    Very overlooked mixtape! Actually the tightest one so far where I liked almost every song (except Stick Up) it’s a little one dimensional because of how nonchalant his voice and flow is but I think it aged well because a lot of rappers rap like this today.

    Just a mixtape with nice vibes and rapping, I liked the flows he went in and Mike played it to his strengths. I like how the production here is grimey and minimalistic, Tyler really “got” this sound. Definitely worth a listen, preferably high. P.S. it’s fun hearing some early Vince Staples in this.

    Fav songs: OkayMikeG, Timeless, King, Crazy.

    Timeless is a good song

    Ali was a solid tape, Mike G was a pretty good member in 09/10 but past that he never got better while the rest of the members did and I feel like they noticed it and stopped including him in the music as much

    I really hate when people dismiss all of old OF’s music is trash

    They have so many classic songs from 09-13

    They should still do EarlWolf one of these days, fr, they're actually closer stylistically than ever

    We need one more song at least

    Imagine Earl on What A Day

    He submitted multiple songs for OF Tape vol 2 and they all got rejected except Forrest Green which had already been out for a year

    Syd said that on formspring when the tape came out

    mr get dough

    All his ideas are things he was attempting in his earlier years and he’s able to actually do them now

    That was the cover for an album he was gonna make when he was 16 it was like a dream album of his where he was gonna get a bunch of his favorite rappers and do a bunch of flex luxury raps, the few songs that are online from it are him rapping about the same things hes rapping about on call me if you get lost except he actually has them now

    Eeeeh tbh that was just kinda the sound back then in general lol.

    Just reads like a 16 year old inspiring rapper’s dream project. I dont think that was anything conceptual like CMIYL

    Dont think EarlWolf will ever happen because i just dont think their current sounds mesh well at all. But i do want to hear Earl on Tyler production again. At least for a couple tracks.

    I hope they do a reunion OF Tape Vol.3 one day

    What I remember seeing was Tyler answering on his Formspring that Mike was missing in action when it was time to submit the album so that’s why only Forest Green was on there

    The Jet Age of Tomorrow - Voyager

    Yeah sorry but this is straight up bad. At its best this sounds like Gorillaz B-sides, and its worst it sounds like something you produce at 3AM think it’s fire then wake up and realize it sucks. I respect the vision but this is not my thing at all and would not recommend. Glad he made great music with The Internet later.

    Fav songs: But She’s Not My Lover, The Knight Hawk, Strobe Light.

    L for not at least recognizing/mentioning the ADHD sample without this album who knows how Kendrick career would’ve went

    Can’t help but feel the “gorillaz b sides” take just comes from the similar cartoon art style. A lot of people let artwork influence their takes in that way

    It’s not amazing but not bad at all if you’re into instrumental music, the Neptunes or just OF. This hate
