They are a young people counter culture music, and
kids are going to buy it independent of the way it
sounds at this stage

That's a given

As much as they don't like the ICP comparisons, ICP
ate REAL well off of horrible music and good imagery

Its true

I think this mixtape is the beginning of a return to
glory, though

For one:

Tyler got some sense knocked into him...stopped trying
to openly alienate everyone and made an album with simple
beats and niggas rapping and being funny over it

Most of the beats are still horrible but there are some
solid songs on there

And the return of Earl gave this album a HUGE bump too

Like I said: they needed a strong MUSICAL comeback
because all of their post Yonkers-2011 work was horrific

Goblin was dreadful...Tyler doesn't even big it up anymore
and has basically conceded that it was a fuckup....it sold
very well, though...again, because most of their fans just
like to play 'Radical' while skateboarding and hanging out
...most aren't even fans of music.

The Mellowhype songs in 2011 were dreadful

2012 approached and niggas got back on their grind

I guess Hodgy got tired of rhyming on awful beats and
put out that mixtape with some actual good producers...
..he's still the weak link on the mix tape but its still
sounds good

And this OF Mixtape 2...the energy is there...again, some
of the beats are still horrible but its a step in the right
direction

They *definitely* improved lyrically

Tyler can rap, still is way too self aware and a whiner
though

Domo has evolved into a well rounded pussy and weed rapper

Mike G has outstanding flow, still doesn't know how to finish
a verse nearly as well as he begins in (he's not a polished
rapper...needs to do like Hodgy and get on the mixtape grind.
...this is how Weezy improved between 2001 and 2004)

Hodgy is still mostly average but is improving

And Earl is a prodigy

Things look up for them
