I have no problem with that considering the difference in quality/sequencing and even mastering is pretty negligible at this point.

Seems the concept of an official release is more a way to hype up an eventual major label album+budget, which tends to suck because they feel forced to cram in guest appearances by Kacey Musgraves. im hardpressed to think of a new artist in the past 5 year's who had a decent discography in mixtapes who actually ups the quality when they release a proper major label album; its usually the opposite.
