Blu was the hottest internet rapper in 2007.
Blu was an acquired taste. When this hit, Drake was an immediate problem.

This mixtape got Drake meetings with Interscope, Rocafella, etc.

Y'all just don't know...Drake was hot BEFORE SO FAR GONE.

This started a run where he'd do a bunch of random songs with other artists and his profile shot WAY up

Post the random songs.
First time I heard Drake was Best I Ever Had.
Blu and Exile were getting Illmatic comparisons.

There were dozens and dozens of songs drake was just doing and leaking on his Octobers Very Own blogspot. The entire archive is up there.

This is BEFORE so far gone.

Check the forums and blogs. Its all there.

I was there. I watched it happen.

None of this is evidence he was the hottest internet rapper in 2007.

His style was too insular.

Drake had immediately more relatable music, better sonics, tighter bars, etc.

Drake wasn't trying to be a backpacker, he was just young and hungry with insane punchlines.
So making hip hop music makes you "insular". Insular to who?

Also, was Drake a hybrid artist on this project, or was this an actual hip hop mixtape?
