Personally, I think these are the 2 best mixtapes of the year, so far. Jeezy's "Trap or Die" was nice, too, but not better than either of the ones mentioned in the thread title.
Juelz Santana really surprised me with "Back Like Cooked Coke Crack, Pt. 2". I really wasn't expecting much. Truthfully, I didn't know what to expect. But when I first heard it, my opinion of him definately changed. On the opening track, which he raps over Ludacris's "Intro" of Red Light District, he borrows Luda's beat and does a better job at it than Luda did. He raps over classics such as "Str8 Up Menace", "Damn It Feels Good (To Be A Gangsta) and kills them all. I liked him before, but not on the level of wanting to get his album. Now, I'm actually waiting for What The Game's Been Missing
I'd give Wayne's The Dedication the edge because dude was on point every track. Once again, he stepped up his game like never before. It was lyrically (IMO) the best thing he has dropped, and rode every beat as if they were his own. When he raps over 2pac and Outlawz "Made Niggaz", you'd think that Mannie produced it for Wayne the way he owns the beat. The same with Nas's "U Know My Style".
But in the end, I most definately recommend both of them :thumb:
