Kritical was on his last, last spittle of gasoline before he dropped K.R.I.T Wuz Here. *These mixtapes are not in any particular order. Everything else is, well, up for debate, but we hope you’ll agree with most of it. It means we aren’t counting anything that came out before 2010, which leaves off Nicki’s Beam Me Up Scotty and Drake’s So Far Gone as well as Lil Wayne’s No Ceilings. Similarly, you won’t find Danny Brown’s XXX on here even though it was a searing homunculus of drugs, partying and IDGAF because they called it an album.

Who can blame them? But it means you won’t be seeing Section.80 or Control System, and it’s not because we didn’t love them because we did. Almost anything from TDE because, well, they called almost everything they did an album over time. Which brings us to why certain pieces of joy were left off this list. In short, the line between mixtape and album is blurred, no Robin Thicke. Drakes IYRTITL was a mixtape and then it wasn’t, and wasn’t it? And did it count towards his contractual albums or didn’t it? The Barter 6 also suffered from the same kind of confusion. Then there’s the confusion surrounding what the artists themselves are calling it. Questions will be raised like, “If it has all original music, how can it be a mixtape?” We suppose that’s what weary listeners of the 90s set asked when mixtapes suddenly no longer meant buying Clue tapes from some shady dude wearing a trench coat in July. Just what exactly a mixtape is has had people in a tiff the last few years.
