Streaming killed mixtapes. These artists are actually still making them. They just upload them to streaming and call them "albums".
I'd consider "voice of the heroes" to be a mixtape.
the label wouldn't though
Drake f***ed the game up when he sold iyrt as a mixtape aint no mixtape thats a f***ing album cornball
not according to warner bros
Drake does not need a mixtape in fact he needs to shut the f*** up and stop putting out music. The issue with him “dropping the same music” is because since Scorpion the man has gone on a tear dropping iconic features one after another & memorable songs that by the time his major album came out it’s - “that’s it?” when he’s been feeding us for the past 3 years.
If he was dropping mid for 3 years and dropped CLB, this site would be drooling.
i agree with this. Between DLDT, leak 2020, and all the features and loosies, CLB was not the best and therefor felt lackluster and samey
although the album is growing on me tbh
I know. It's blurry these days.
I remember 50 Cent dropped AA as an album then he called it a mixtape when it flopped.
I think Drake did the same thing with More Life. He called it a playlist when it got overshadowed by DAMN.
I think it all depends on the purpose for the project. Mixtapes are usually used to build up hype for the album. The album is the final product while the mixtapes are musical promo essentially.
more life was always a playlist. never referred to as an album.
and it dropped saturday at 6PM - Only 5.5 days of sales

Yeah that guy isn't remembering right because More Life came out a whole month before DAMN
