How convenient that you leave off

"If your reading this it's too late"

The "mixtape" that started this current trend

Oddly enough it was a mixtape that I don't remember being available for streaming for free when it dropped :ld:
The reason why this argument is stupid is because DC4 and Dave East mixtapes are available on free mixtape sites.

Those streams don't count towards sales like Spotify and Apple Music. I don't get how hard it is to understand

arguably the best music Drake's ever dropped, was very successful and it set him up for a blistering 2015. How can that be desperate? The music held up, ghostwriter or no ghost.

altapes are for come-and-gos
That's not fair to only give the title "Altape" when the project is not successful. And yes IYRTITL is a great project

and my favorite Drake project it was desperate IMO due to all the deflections regarding QM and the noticeable

shift to more aggressive lyrics and the fact that it was put for free on OVO's soundcloud then taken off.

but that's the whole point of an altape :comeon:

an altape is specifically defined as an album that starts to flop but is quickly spun as a mixtape to lower expectations and protect stan tears

ii that definition i agree with but most of the time when these artists put out they always say its an ep or mixtape that happens to be for sale and some of them put the whole thing on soundcloud for free. I have yet to see a big artist switch up on the definition of a project from album to mixtape when the numbers come in but thats me, do u got any examples bruv?
