Rules:
1. Use proper title format
Do not make up post tags. New releases should be tagged [FRESH], [FRESH ALBUM] (or MIXTAPE) or [FRESH VIDEO] only. [FRESH] tags should only be applied to official music & music videos, not leaks, interviews, articles, art, live footage, etc. [SHOTS FIRED] should only be used for legitimate beef, not jokes or competition among artists.
Song posts must follow the 'Artist - Title (Description)' format with 80 character or less descriptions. Hashtagged keywords & emojis in titles are not allowed.
Post Tags:
[FRESH] [ORIGINAL] [HYPE] [SHOTS FIRED] [DISCUSSION] [LEAK] [MIXTAPE]

My top 2 are Lil Wayne and Waka Flocka Flame. Wayne speaks for himself. He is one of the best to ever do it and has like 20 or 30 mixtapes. I heard T-Wayne for the first time recently and it reminded me how good Wayne is.
Waka is different though. Guy doesn't rap like Wayne, guy gets you hyped. He only had 3 albums but almost as many mixtapes as Wayne. Also worth noting is that while his last album was in 2012, but he has dropped at least 10 mixtapes since then. He doesn't need the money, he just loves making tapes. A surprising amount of them are on Spotify too if you have never given them a listen. I won't pretend they are all amazing, but I recommend I Can't Rap and Twin Towers. Again, don't expect lyrical rap. Waka is for when you need to get unreasonably hype.
Honorable Mention to Nicki Minaj. She is mostly known for her pop-rap stuff, but she raps hard on Sucka Free,
