One of the reason westcoast felt of For me is that every body want to be big ! They all waiting for the Big deal so they do mixtape who sound most of them like album now . Rappers kill the creativity what the album gone sound when u did 15 mixtape album before ??? And the audiance will start get enough of your mixtape ! I remember a time when i could buy easily a westcoast album every month (not big album with big promo)instead today every day we have a mixtape for free download. I understand artist want to create a buzz but if u give too much food to a fish he will ate until he explose!
So we have now too much mixtape rappers and i wonder if they would be able to make a real album ?And the problem is everybody wants to be major ! I miss that time where tha independant label was doing there thing!

Too many rappers over saturated themselves, mainly because there is so much choice now a days.

I think this is true. I remember back in the early/mid 90's, i'd be waiting and waiting for a new westcoast album to drop and once it did, i'd bump in constantly. Even if I didn't like it that much, there was nothing else to listen to, so i just kept listening to it until it grew on me. I remember only buying like 7 or 8 albums a year, and some singles and stuff, and that was it. Now that market is so flooded, i can go on the net and get 30 new rap albums/mixtapes every week if i wanted to. I listen to a song, and if it doesn't hit me right away, i trash it and move on to another new song instead of giving it a fair chance.

I prefer pay for a good structred album than for the 10th free mixtape with freestyle and somebody's beat etc... and still asking for an album to come . Some rappers are in the game for ten years and only did mixtapes . At first mixtape are cool but waiting something else from an artist the album it's the next level!! Even if it's not under def jam or geffen aftermath ... i would always prefer an indie production than a mixtape but i understand the 3 first mixtape for a new rapper but when u almost done 10 mixtape if u have no buzz u never will!

Not everybody comes to Dubcnn. These dudes probably sell mixtapes from their website or at their concerts.
