This is promo for his album.
Sums up my thoughts completely.

something to get excited about maybe?

there's no point in releasing a below par pile of sh*t like this, honestly id go as far as saying this is one of the worst mixtapes iv heard in recent times.

you just cant get away with a mixtape like this these days, the likes of cole, lamar, krit, etc have stepped up the mixtape game to another level where all artists imo are forced to approach them like albums.

Even established artists who use to be heavy on the mixtape scene have been forced to change their approach, the likes of 50 with the big 10 and his last few , the game with his latest efforts, rick ross with self made series and meek mill etc are all examples of material made in album format rather than just a verse here and there jacking someones elses beat etc. This from X would of been suitable a few years ago but tbh its not going to cut it now. I really cant see how anyone can defend this mixtape, so so bad imo.

i mean if you didnt enjoy section 80 as much as you did, would you be as excited for the debut? I taught X was going to come with something special here to get us buzzing for the album but i obviously taught wrong.

Well personaly I did not really like any of his work including section.80 on first listen anyway. Anyway that was not really a mixtape despite what he released it as.

Cham has 10+ mixtapes but 2 albums. Fine if he wants to do that but he is diluting what a mixtape is imo. This is nothing against him, it works very well for him. Very very well.

If you think this is his best work or that it should be some of his best work then I am shocked.

As for Krit, ye his latest was better than this but it was also a big pile of "meh" imo. A mixtape is a mixtape just because some people "change it up" or "step it up" does not mean others have to. If this were the case we would all applaud rappers "freestyling" off a blackberry or verses from their songs.

id agree with most of what you said, im not a fan of the way mixtapes are gone either but its just the way their gone... their like albums so in most cases it takes the shine of the actual album imo.

i dont expect this to be his best work man, iv been listening to X for years since i was basically a kid , he's possibly my favorite gangsta rapper. All X fans know he's past his prime but i didnt expect something of this quality but thats just me , sheey seems to think similar and he's a big a X fan as the next.

like said, this does nothing for me as in regards to excitement for the album. im still looking forward to it as il know he'l come with a few bangers at least.

Exactly. No point in X wasting great songs on a mixtape, he is not that sort of artist.

The tracklist and cover art has being released for the album "undisputed". Liking how its not riddled with features like a lot of hip hop albums these days but obvioulsy a big talking point here is the biggie feature!... I dont mind rappers collabing with dead rappers but I know some people hate it.

September 11th release date.

I despise MGK's music, absolute poo poo, not looking forward to that feature. The biggie one could be decent depending on what verses of his they picked for the track. Or hopefully X managed to get some unreleased biggie material if it exists? (highly unlikely but just a thought)

One thing i can say about that album is the cover art looks badass. I'll buy the album purely based on how unreal the cover looks

hopefully is right, his last recent mixtape was terrible so he needs to step it up going by that.

Watch his interview on youtube he did with the breakfast club(??) earlier this year, was absolutely priceless. He feels the exact same way about Drake that I do .

Gas listening to him pulling people over with his fake cop sirens in his car and pretending to be an FBI Agent. He's mental. Even though his mixtape was garbage, I'm really looking forward to Unidsputed!

That was a vintage x interview, he defeintly sounds fragile though in terms of just his mental health either that or he was on something despite his sober claims.

He feels the same way as I do with officer Ricky so that was great , delighted he didn't sign with Ross.

disappointing Mixtape ...............but we all know what DMX can do , and hopefully True DMX will shine on the new album


sometimes hard to gauge mixtapes ,
presonally I wasn't overly impressed with Kendrick Lamar's Mixtape ....he is way better that what was on that ,
are they making mixtapes, too long , like should it really just be 5/6 songs and leave it at that
Vinne paz mixtape 32 songs (admittely I really like this),
Kendrick Lamar 15 songs (2 or 3 decent songs )
Nature 28 songs (1/2 decent songs)
Rick Ross (curiousity got me so had to listen) 20songs i think (again only 1/2 songs)
Scrublife (can't remember exactly ...more than 15 songs )



finger's crossed DMX WON'T LET THE REALLY FANS OF HIP HOP DOWN

agree with the dmx part but not the rest mate, are you reffering to lamar's section 80 or his mixtapes previous to it?

rick ross doesnt really release mixtapes either the rest i dont listen too.
