Listening right now and remembering how much play this got when it dropped.
I think this might be my favorite mixtape from the past decade. Phonte on that one ... whew. Yep. I focks with the Drama version and the "offcial" one ... shit is that good to me.
Thoughts?

That and both versions of Chitlin Circuit were just as dope as their best albums. They came out the gate going 6 for 6 with those three mixtapes and the first 3 albums, to me, to the point where I've had stretches of time where I considered each one my favorite.

...really woke me up to just how prolific/strong lb was when they came out the gate. the listening/minstrel show both knocked, all the mixtapes went hard, and "get back" was a damn good post-"breakup" album.
