While there have been notable insecurities around this concept (e.g. Section80 being Kendrick's album but then said it was a mixtape to sell the idea of a classic 'debut' :mjlol:), this is by far the most fevered discussion around it.

Y'all really got me :dead: over this DC4 album/mixtape shyt. Aside from my stalkers, it's easily the most insecure shyt I've read online in quite some time. Might even take the cake from K Dot Minaj pretend-martyrs.

So this is the new gimmick? The Altape? or do we call it the Mixbum? Which sounds more insecure? Which has more of a 'flop' feel?

Whichever it is, let's roll with that :salute:

Sec80 is Kendrick's first album. Even he has said that before and many reviews of his last two albums mention that.

Not sure I'd call DC4 an album but I haven't listened to it.

I'm gonna need receipts on that. Why was all the marketing garbage pushing GKMC as Kendrick's debut?

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:

IYRTITL wasn't desperate. For something to qualify as an altape or mixbum, it has to be desperate :russ:

Iyrtitl wasn't desperate :usure:

A pop artist putting out a "street" rapping mixtape that employed a ghostwriter for the majority of it? He called it a mixtape but it was only available for retail? :patrice:

But in reality , I don't see why any rapper who is known would put out a free mixtape in 2016.

I noticed Gucci like fukk that, I'll just put out a new album every 2 months....

Not sure why Meek put his shyt out to be streaming for free, but I guess since it's been a minute it was a little more important to get his music back in the streets than worrying about sales as much
