I am partial to Shame's California street album. Mixtape? no. 50 and Game and a few other artists have dropped some insane mixtape, but even Rain said it himself, American Dreamin is a album. It is dope as fuck though.

Up it so I can download.

For me, Bishop Lamont's Nigger Noize or Caltroit. 

Elzhi dropped that dope mixtape which was basically an album. 

Crooked-I dropped The Block Obama which is above most. 

I think Game's mixtapes are pretty fucking horrible.  The only ones I thought were decent was You Know What It Is volume 4 and Black Wall Street Journal Volume 1.  I BWSV1 pretty hard for a minute.

Lloyd Banks has the entire PLK series I immensely respect.

That's a pretty fucking bold statement. There's no need to discuss.

I'm trying to leave ignorance alone.  If Nas wants to be a nigga then let that nigga be a nigga on his own.
Got me thinking, "Rain, did you just diss Nas?  That's a stupid verse!"  He comes with a fury and I like. 

I tell you what his production is n-i-i-i-c-e.  "For You" is deadly.   

His vocals ain't the best but they're suitable. 

I can't really comment if this is the street album ever released since I've only spun it once but it is dope.  I kind of found myself drifting off in some tracks. 

If he's working with Doc Dre I could definitely see some heat coming out in the future. 

I found this too,

best mixtapes are Mood Muzik Series ones & Cham's Mixtape Messiah's 1-3.

the best street album is Halfway House.

I think Halfway House is overrated.

american dreamin was dope but i think best mixtape is a bit over the top. Some the songs were cool but nothing special whereas Bar Exams or Jay Eelectronicas shit is off the wall.

Thinking about it most of the material I bump are free street albums.  There's a whole bunch of quality releases from great underrated artists (commercially speaking).
