OK. I'll be the first to say it. Mixtape CDs are played out. Yeah, they broke such talents as 50 (hey...waitttaminnit...) and Jeezy (hmmmmm) but do we really need another CD with 22 tracks and just as many you-fucked-with-me-now-I-gotta shoot-you skits?

If you're lucky -- the one track that's halfway decent won't have too much repetitive screaming of DJ CLUE!!!! DJ DRAMA!!!! GREEN LANTERN!!!! or whatthefuck ever over the beat. Hiphop continues to march toward the cliche...serious props to cee-lo, rjd2, danger mouse, and anybody else who might be doing something innovative and new in the genre.

I do have to admit I love that Jeezy song TRAPSTR though...it's best played pitched up in between a couple 80s jams.
