  • MP3

    C’mon XXL, you guys are buggin. You have Lil Twist & Laws on there but left off French Montana’s “Mac & Cheese 2″ & Freck Billionaire’s “American Terrorist”? Ransom, Bravo, & Paul Cain’s “Repo Men” mixtape went in too. i dunno if this list was based off commercial success or whatever but i listened to about 90% of this list & 15 of these mixtapes shouldn’t be on here. BTW Vado’s Slime Flu was an Album & not a mixtape.

  • fredericintx

    Come on XXL, Put G-Side on the list. And Rittz too.

  • LAlistener

    Soulja Boy is on here but Chris Webby Best in the Burbs isn’t? Wtf XXL? Other than that, pretty good list I’d say.
