15. Beanie Sigel’s The Solution: No, really, this one has gotta go!
16. Common’s Resurrection: UMC is better, the Grammy Committee can’t be wrong; can they?
17. Shyne’s Shyne: Because I heard DJ Khaled’s “All My Life” and I’m PUMPED for the new Shyne!
18. Lil Cease’s The Wonderful World Of Cease-A-Leo: Actually, I’m going to keep the album cover and put it on one of the 28 Zoe tapes, but the actual music is outta here!
19. T.I.’s Trap Muzik: As a matter of fact I’m going to purge my iPod of all T.I.’s album. Well, except the masterpiece that was T.I. vs. T.I.P., parting is such sweet sorrow.
20. Nas’s Untitled aka The N Album: Remember when this shit was hot for that first week?
21. Rakim’s The Seventh Seal: No, really, why is this even on my shit?
22. Jay-Z’s The Blueprint: KRS already made an album called Blueprint and I’m gonna erase that shit, too.
23. Big Pun’s Capital Punishment: Rappin’ Puerto Ricans? What will they think of next!
24. Dr. Dre’s The Chronic: I always seen inconsistencies in Mr. “I don’t smoke weed cess” and his newfound pothead persona.
25. The L.O.X.’s We Are The Streets: Real talk, the shiny suit album was better. Money, Power, Respect, son!
26. DMX’s It’s Dark and Hell is Dark: See my 2008 Blog: It’s Dark and Hell Is Overrated.
27. Main Source’s Breaking Atoms: Rappers with glasses? GTFOH.
28. Gorilla Zoe’s Don’t Feed the Animals: Because 28 titles from one artist is my limit. Zoe only has himself to blame.

  • Deadly MIME

    Hol up wait a minute!? WTF 28 mixtapes in 28 days? What does that gonna accomplish? Nothing thats what. Who gives a fuck about Gorilla Zoe and who is gonna get and listen to bullshit everyday?

    • AZ40

      I hope this nigga is joking about this shit in this post…Anyway any artist that releases this quatity of music is because it’s garbage music the artist isn’t able to make money off of, if it were any good they would package it and try to make some kind of money off of it right?

      • nick

        RIGHT. i bet every day the material gets weaker, and weaker.

  • HollyHood

    I thought the same thing when I saw this story on line. WTF??? You can’t even come up with enough good material for 1 CD, but your gonna release 28 in 28 days…

    I’m sure that will be some quality shit…

    People’s attention spans are not long enough to listen to any rapper 28 days in a row.

    No disrespect to Zoe, just a very bad idea.

  • Symphony

    Is Gorilla Zoe and Flo Rida the same person? kinda like humpty hump and shock G

  • El Tico Loco

    He should ask Crooked I how that worked out when he tried that with his freestyles and we know Crook can actually spit.

  • http://Pierzy11@gmail.com Pierzy

    Kudos, Rob! One of your best pieces thus far.

    For me, I’d have to delete every amazing debut (Ready To Die, Enter The Wu-Tang, Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…, AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted, Doggystyle, etc etc etc)

  • NotoriousAGC

    the sarcasm must chap Gorilla Zoe’s ass..if he ever reads this blogs.

    • NotoriousAGC

      blog*

    • mikel

      that’s giving gorilla zoe a lot of credit, who’s to say he would understand the sarcasm?

      • yoprince

        lol.

  • good post

    Makes you wonder how much actual effort is put into his music

  • http://www.bboycult.com $ykotic/Don McCaine

    “Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter The Wu-Tang: Dust blunts + 40ozs of O.E. = Poorly mixed albums.”
    “22. Jay-Z’s The Blueprint: KRS already made an album called Blueprint and I’m gonna erase that shit, too.
    23. Big Pun’s Capital Punishment: Rappin’ Puerto Ricans? What will they think of next!”
    ^^^^^^^^^^

    but mostly this:

    “Lil Cease’s The Wonderful World Of Cease-A-Leo: Actually, I’m going to keep the album cover and put it on one of the 28 Zoe tapes, but the actual music is outta here!”

    Rob, you’re a damn fool !!!
    Shit had me rolling …

  • Nick Chacos

    your buggin out for putting all your faith in these mixtapes. you put a lot of time thinking why these great albums are worth cutting out.. but how about the reasons why this is a mistake.

    28 in 28 means each project is gonna be rushed
    how many rhymes can this cat really make without sounding redundant?
    what has this artist done to deserve this type of clearing out just to make room for him?

    • mikel

      somebody completely missed the point

      • Curtis75Black

        Hell yeah, He missed the point !! It’s a joke Nick.

  • BEEZIE!

    What can I say? Some niggas luv 2 rap, i guess… SMMFH at yall niggas in here who are actually OFFENDED by Zoe’s choice to make all that music, even if it is weak quality… that’s like a nigga without a job telling a nigga with a job that he’s retarded for working overtime… even if he sucks at his job

    That said, aint no way in hell I’d delete any of Outkast’s early shit from my iPod for this nigga here, let alone Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. Nigga pleez!

  • http://www.jamal7mile.blogspot.com Jamal7Mile

    Hahaha! Good one, Rob! Your ipod’s a for real trooper. As for 28 mixtapes in 28 day? I-I-I just can’t do it…

  • 619

    It’s a good thing he came up with the mixtape idea for the shortest month in the year. 31 mixtapes would’ve really been bad.

    This is the best blog post for xxl i’ve ever read

  • daydeezy

    Dont forget to take the “Pussy Cat Dolls off… Well you might keep the cover…..

  • caino

    Why doesnt he just take the best from the 28 mixtapes and put out a solid album, then peeps might actually care!!

    Good drop tho! and the person who asked if Gorrilla Zoe & Flo Rida are the same person, l was thinking the same shit too!

  • sprengstart

    why dont you just delete the paris hilton sextapes and your good to go

  • nicholasdelorejo

    you know what’s fucked up? Dudes like Gorilla Zoe spend so much time releasing mixtapes of subpar quality rather tha use this time to learn to play an instrument, enhance their pro-tool skills, enhance their songwritting skills, or basically be a better artists. That’s what gets me about hip hop. Its the fact that it wants to be respected as a genre of music yet muthafuckas in it don’t seem to respect it themselves.

    I don’t have anything against zoe but why can’t more rappers have a little more pride in their music and make songs that stick to the listener rather than easily disposable shit. I’m still blazing J. Cole and Lupe’s mixtapes and I’ll pay money to go to their concerts. I seriously can’t tell Zoe apart from Shawty lo, Ross, CTP, or any other trap rappers. So it’s not like people are going to give a shit about any of Zoe’s mixtapes let alone tell them apart in quality. That’s why I’m hoping for musicianship in hip-hop now. At least this way dudes can occupy their time being artists rather than releasing disposable music.
