This week I'm going to be covering a few classics.
Chamillionaire Mixtape Messiah
This album was the one to start his series. The Mixtape Messiah series went all the way up to 7. Most of what you hear in this mixtape though is him going at Mike Jones' throat. They were beefing pretty hard when this mixtape was released.
There is this hilarious interlude where he mixes Roots into the way that Mike Jones always calls out his own name.
He also had a beef with Lil Flip which you can hear in this song.
If people would listen to his mixtape series they would see that he is much more than just a ringtone rapper like most people think he is.
Lil Wayne Dedication 2
DJ Drama really hooked Wayne up on this one and it was one of the best albums of '06 even though it was a mixtape.
Some of my favorite tracks off of this album are SportsCenter, Georgia Bush and Welcome to the Concrete Jungle.
You can hate Wayne all that you want to but this is a must listen to.
I feel like this next tape SHOULD be a classic because 9th wonder and Wale is pretty magical.

I love how this song starts, he says it's for true hip hop lovers and if you aren't just turn on your radio like he's basically saying go listen to that mainstream crap that's being played on it.
I do like some mainstream though even though I know they aren't up to par with most underground artists.
