    This album gave me "artistic" phase back then lol, I wanted to make Tumblr account that had hidden link to my album I was trying to make back then etc. It was weird, but funny to me now.

    I still love this album tho, much better than his last one.

    The line is certainly blurred now but there was a difference. Everything gets labeled as “project” now so I agree with you there.

    There used to be a difference, but I don't understand why people discount a project full of 100% original beats and lyrics from an "album" conversation because it was released as a "mixtape." Like I don't see any tangible difference between Rich g--- and Watch the Throne in terms of medium beyond the fact that RG was released for free. I mean What A Time To Be Alive is considered a "commercial mixtape" and that was mentioned in OP. I'm just saying the distinction is arbitrary unless we're talking about, like, Da Drought 3 or We Got it For Cheap. Or something that's a compilation of leaks and loosies like those Drake comp albums.

    That pissed me off so much. Imagine having that train wreck under your belt with the “debut” label

    probably more tarnishing to him than he realizes

    WATTBA is mediocre at best

    Also Get Ya Mind Correct makes your argument invalid
