Apr 25, 2025 at 7:34 PM Riptacular, bro. You’re so right. g--- Starr is the s--- and hip hop from this era is just so special
Apr 26, 2025 at 4:28 AM Yeez - When The Blood Burns @Yeez Good tape! Silver Morning is a nice piece of music but it's just my thing that I'm always waiting for vocals lmao. Kind of a bummer if that doesn't happen. La Grasa, I usually just listen to summer spanish s--- but this was kinda fun. Also nice to actually understand so much of it! Fun House is great, maybe a bit too long for me lol. Waves Of Fear is nice, never heard it. Kinda fits right in with the previous mixtapes! El Borrego is a bit too much for me, too hyper lmao. But interesting choice never heard it before! Sueles Dejarme Solo - a rock song like a lot the past few tapes but in spanish, nice! The Kino song sounds cool, no idea what they saying though what language is it? Isley Brothers song I like a lot, funky! Tear for Eddie - kinda the same as the first, nice instrumental but I kinda need vocals. Eternal Life is fantastic. Yolanda, I know that one, also fantastic. Babylon is great not sure what to add here. Debra - yeah not a huge fan of Beck sounds a bit too girly for me (not that I mind that, but coming from a dude..) REM song is great of course I actually have one planned for my tape too! Torn Curtain - fun song, not my favorite here but solid! Voice of Love - yeah this is the type of instrumental thats more like a soundtrack so I miss vocals a bit less here. Great closing track! @Yeez listening to this tape made me think of a future theme - 16 songs w all different languages! Or at least like 4 languages w all 4 songs from that language. Non english at least. @AOTWClub Really interesting and mostly unknown picks man, really enjoyed it! Probably too late but still; 9/10! Got a partyweekend here (kingsday lol) so gonna try to add in @DiggleDogg69 and the new one in a few days!
Apr 26, 2025 at 9:49 AM Its a very intriguing idea, but I'm not sure if other members would be that into it. I'm down for it though. Also the Kino song is in Russian. They've got a lot of pretty good songs actually
Apr 26, 2025 at 10:20 AM The 4 language idea sounds fun but I honestly don’t really have that big of an arsenal of different language music lol. Gotta work on that for sure.
Apr 26, 2025 at 2:22 PM @Ripper Roo - Ripper Raw ROOVIEW Score: 10.0 (16/16) Pure classic hip-hop mixtape, how was I NOT gonna love this? So many of these artists I need to sit down and listen to, I believe a lot of these albums are on my list of albums to listen to over the summer as well. Anyways, I loved every single track here. Some standouts, however, to me were Hey Young World, Smooth Operator, A Friend, What I'm Here 4 (as @Jimmy Jazz said, the track is insane, g--- Starr has caught my attention a lot recently), Double Trouble, I'm The f---in' Murderer, and Ready to Die. Shoutout Roo for this tape man, def one I can see me revisiting a lot! @AOTWClub Mixtape Madness Round 2 Rankings: 1. Ripper Raw - 10.0 2. Born to Boomer - 10.0 3. Rite of Exorcism: A Possession Story - 9.4 4. When The Blood Burns... - 8.8
Apr 26, 2025 at 2:28 PM I have like 7 of these CDs on this list. RIP to Craig Mack. The only songs I listened to on that CD was Get Down and Flava in Ya Ear though haha. Good playlist. That's that s--- right there
Apr 26, 2025 at 2:40 PM Nice one lol Thank you so much! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten 2 10s in a row in this group! Good, I hope this motivates you to listen to those. This is why I really like the discovery aspect of this group. Glad to see these getting love, especially Smooth Operator and What I’m Here 4 as those are some of my fav songs here as well. I could see this group reviewing a g--- Starr album in the future. Love that the Spice 1 track got love too, I was intrigued off of the title alone. I appreciate it man I’m glad you enjoyed it enough to wanna revisit it!
Apr 26, 2025 at 2:40 PM Thanks bro, glad to see I got the seal of approval from someone who has more experience with this era of music
Apr 26, 2025 at 2:43 PM While I'm here and have some time (aka procrastinating literally my last non-exam assignment of the school year), I'll do what I have been too busy to do the last week and a half and talk about these tracks from my mixtape and why I selected them. I know it's not my week anymore but still, I like to talk about my selections and why. Gonna put it all in a spoiler tag because I have no clue how long it'll go on, feel free to read if you'd like Spoiler: Why I Picked These Songs for EFFM 1. No More ?'s - I wanted Eazy on here, and spent a bit trying to find the perfect track. I almost did Nobody Move, but felt No More ?'s worked much better as an opener. Just gets you right into the tape 2. Everlasting Bass - My dad ALWAYS blasted this song in his car whenever he wanted to play something bass heavy, and with Like That dropping last year, it brought memories of that back. I played Like That for him and I saw one of the biggest smiles on his face and that memory sticks with me a year later. This song to me is a song that bridges a gap between generations now, and will always hold a special place in my heart. Also I just realized I worded a lot of this like my dad passed, don't worry he's perfectly fine lmfao 3. Sunset Driver - My friend put me onto this song in senior year and it always reminds me of senior year and high school, which is funny considering it's an MJ song from the 80's. I wanted MJ on here, but didn't wanna throw a basic and obvious track from him on here, so this track worked perfectly. 4. Dancing Queen - Honestly, they have just been spamming this song at work so it has been in my head for months. Classic track and deserved a spot regardless. 5. We Got The Beat - Just a catchy and fun track, what more can I say? One of those songs I get addicted to for about a week or two and then falls out of rotation for about a year and finds its way back. 6. I'll Be Loving You (Forever) - 70's-90's mixtape...how was I not gonna include a boy band? This is one of my mom's favorite songs ever, and a track I have seen live from NKOTB a couple times. I really love this track and I was excited to see how this group in particular would react lmfao 7. Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey - I was shocked to discover how popular this song already was, because I had never heard it before last summer. My friend put me on to this song and it would always come on in the car on the way to work, so this song just reminds me of the summer. 8. Wheel in the Sky - Another case of wanting an artist in here, but not wanting a conventional song from them. While this song is popular, it is not talked about nearly as much as other Journey tracks. Great track! 9. Baby Blue - Yeah, Breaking Bad. You caught me. 10. Call Me - I f---ing LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH. I heard this song for the first time on Bride of Chucky and it has been stuck in my head for at least a decade now. It's so so so good and I'm glad y'all agreed with me on that. 11. Bad Reputation - I have loved Joan Jett for years, and I just figured this track worked perfectly where I needed it in the mixtape. Was considering I Hate Myself for Loving You, Crimson and Clover, or Cherry Bomb. 12. Sabotage - This track, like Bad Reputation, just felt like it fit there. 13. My Own Summer (Shove It) - Been on a small Deftones kick lately, and I know this is pretty much their biggest song (I think), but it blended in here with some of the harder tracks. 14. Heart-Shaped Box - I knew I had to calm it down a bit to close out the tape, so I figured this classic song that goes back and forth between chill a--- singing to hard rock worked perfect. RIP Kurt you genius. 15. Wish You Were Here - Everything I can say about this track was said by y'all, and it would have been the closing track had I not been set on... 16. Nothing Else Matters - This song was always going to be the outro to this tape, it's too perfect of an outro to not happen. Love Metallica so so much (AND I GET TO SEE THEM LIVE TWICE NEXT WEEK HOLY FUUUUCK)
Apr 26, 2025 at 3:59 PM As non english speakers we do have an advantage. I live 10 km away from germany so have a lot ofb german music I know. And ofc dutch, and spanish. Seems like a fun idea but we all have to agree ofcourse. Also @Yeez didn't know it was Russian, hope its anti Vladdy!
Apr 26, 2025 at 6:47 PM @AOTWClub Ripper Raw Best songs from the best artists from the best era of hip-hop = easy 10/10.
Apr 26, 2025 at 7:44 PM As I’ve been learning Spanish I find myself understanding Spanish songs a bit better so I enjoy those lol
