32. "his mixtapes were better than CD" In response to In response to 0
I remember his mixtapes "Get Well Soon" and "I'm Good" getting him buzz around these parts.
Timing was a big thing too. It was right around the time that the nag champa buildings started to crumble. And Kanye was right there with lines like "first rapper with a Benz and a backpack."
It's unexplainable. He got "over" back then with the same things that keep him a star today. It's just on a larger scale.
