Best Hip Hop Mixtapes Of All Time Mp3 Download |BEST|

At 14 years old, Seventh Woods absolutely took the internet by storm with dunk after dunk. Woods is currently at North Carolina, entering his sophomore season, so he has a ton of his career ahead of him. But for now, he is best known for this insane highlight tape.

Hoophead Brandon Jennings is also famous for having one of the best mixtapes of all time. Everything is on display in this four-minute video, ranging from deep threes to ankle-shattering crossovers. Jennings always put on a show when he was out there at such a young age and helped pave the way for high school mixtapes to become as popular as they are today.

Mixtapes are rough around the edges. Often, they don't have the sheen of high-cost record company studio time. It's a mishmash of showcases: What's happened, what's to come, who someone holds as favored friends, as far as rappers and producers go. It's rapping over other people's beats. It's disses. It's gritty. It's fuck-ups kept on the track, skits that would never make it past a label, and samples that could never pass clearance.

That's what makes a great mixtape great. All of the spontaneous qualities that are too scruffy for a proper release, finally receive the proper treatment. And unlike a great album, the formula for a great mixtape isn't as refined, and it relies slightly more on the side of serendipity and luck, with the essential elements coming together the right way at that perfect moment in time.

Opener "A Real Feeling" best expresses Jack's rugged mantra: "Niggas respect me, feel what's under my shirt/Hit a bank bare-faced, slid a note to the clerk." He also weighs in on his region's sound: "With the hyphy movement but I don't listen to clowns/If you ain't hyphy with a pistol you ain't hyphy for real."

46. Big Sean, Finally Famous: The Mixtape (2007) { "id": 134474545, "buzz_id": 6670884, "index": 6 } Image via Discogs From the title of Big Sean's mixtape to the accompanying intro that recounts the first time he met his mentor, Kanye West, it's clear the then-teenage Detroit MC would accept nothing less than being recognized as a rap star. A boastful claim, yes, but it's one that came to fruition, with Finally Famous: The Mixtape setting the table.

An early member of the G.O.O.D. Music set, Sean rhymed with a magnetic tone that was as enthusiastic as it was composed. His penchant for cash flow ("Get'cha Some," "Money Being Made") and women ("Good Sh...," "All Night") were evident. Shades of his colorful, almost cartoonish cadence popped up from time to time, something he's improved upon in recent years.

43. Action Bronson & Party Supplies, Blue Chips (2012) { "id": 134474542, "buzz_id": 6670884, "index": 9 } Image via Discogs Before Blue Chips, Bronsolino was just that oversized white rapper from Queens who sounded like Ghostface. It was only after Blue Chips, when everyone realized that this guy had more than a voice that sounded like Ghostface. He had impeccable taste: For food (which many of his raps are about). For women (and the many, fairly devious sexual acts he'd perform on/with and/or receive from them). For clothes, cars, and especially weed. But most importantly, for beats, as evidenced by the classics provided via Party Supplies, plenty of which have a weirdly sentimental sheen to them, a slightly Tarantino-esque cinematic feel both in style and the style of tribute, a throwback to a Dolemite-era fantasy that never existed for Albanians from Queens until now.

41. Gucci Mane, Chicken Talk (2006) { "id": 134474547, "buzz_id": 6670884, "index": 11 } Image via Discogs Gucci would go on to greater heights, and at the time, Chicken Talk was an underground regional hit at best. But the double-disc tape, hosted by DJ Burn One, was, in conjunction with Gucci's debut LP Trap House, the real blueprint for the rapper's career. While he would develop a more musical approach as time went on, adopt a more improvisational technique, and push in a more effortlessly lyrical direction, Chicken Talk was the first domino in the wake of the attempt on his life that set the next five years into action, driving Gucci to the top of Atlanta's hip-hop food chain in the late '00s.

At the time of Bastard's release, it felt like the big rap stars had grown fat and complacent, making the mainstream increasingly thin, leaving little to no room for new pioneers. The kids that make up the collective that is Odd Future were born out of these rigid parameters, and emerged screaming, kicking, and wanting to light everything on fire after carving upside-down crosses into it.

"Whoo Kid was one of the most revolutionary things to happen to the mixtape game. He took it from just being a DJ to doing the marketing and promotion of the tape. I'll never forget when I got one of the G-Unit Radio mixtapes and it was like an eight page fold-out with MTV logos, huge sponsors, and it was all glossy and colorful. I was blown away at how he was turning them into albums and making them things you really wanted to keep and hold on to. It was a long way from the Maxell tape with the little sticker on it and someone writing what number tape this is."

But he made those few years count, ghostwriting for Jim Jones (including, allegedly, smash hit "We Fly High (Ballin')") and playing a key role in Jones' Byrd Gang supergroup. And of course, there was The Wave: a series of incredible mixtapes that propelled him to (near) stardom. With the slurred, sing-song style and slick, casual delivery of a drunken street poet, Max's distinctive persona obscured his significant songwriting gifts. Alongside producer Dame Grease, he established a grungy melodic sound that was at once firmly underground yet resolutely pop.

32. Fabolous, There Is No Competition (2008) { "id": 134474556, "buzz_id": 6670884, "index": 23 } Image via Discogs Popular contention would have you believe the sequel to this tape was the best of the series. While the second TINC was great and certainly the more popular one, the original is one of the most slept-on releases on this list. It wasn't a crucial moment for Fabolous (though he delivered the punchline goodness he's known for), but the lack of reception was a turning point for DJ Drama after the feds raided him.

31. Meek Mill, Dreamchasers (2011) { "id": 134474561, "buzz_id": 6670884, "index": 24 } Image via Discogs Meek Mill has released nine solo mixtapes and two as a member of Philly supergroup The Bloodhoundz. Some releases were pivotal at different moments in his career; the Flamerz tapes led to an affiliation with Grand Hustle; Mr. Philadelphia attracted the attention of Rick Ross. But it was his debut tape for MMG that successfully transitioned Meek Mill from one of his city's most ferocious street rappers into a national star.

Unlike its sequel, it was a true midpoint between his Philly origins (Bloodhoundz member Mel Love makes several appearances) and his national aspirations (Rick Ross and Yo Gotti guest as well). It featured some of his best songs with producer and fellow resident of the City of Brotherly Love, Jahlil Beats, including the charting single "I'ma Boss," and the disorienting anxiety of "House Party."

30. Jay Electronica, What The F*ck Is a Jay Electronica (2007) { "id": 134474560, "buzz_id": 6670884, "index": 25 } Image via Discogs After creating an Internet buzz with the incredible song, "Eternal Sunshine," this mixtape started appearing on blogs. All of Electronica's wizardry was on full display here on what remains one of his few released projects. If it lacks anything, it's thematic unity. At times, Electronica rocks over movie scores like on the aforementioned "Eternal Sunshine," other times he does a modern update to Illmatic by rocking over Nas' "The World Is Yours," then he flips original J Dilla production in uncanny ways. But it was Jay Elec's intricate lyricism and all powerful voice that held it all together.

29. Lil Boosie, Superbad: The Return of Mr. Wipe Me Down (2009) { "id": 134474558, "buzz_id": 6670884, "index": 26 } Image via Discogs Like many artists on this list, Lil Boosie's official, label-sanctioned releases only give a very limited picture of his overall creative direction. Paired with Thug Passion, which droppd within weeks of this release, Superbad: The Return of Mr. Wipe Me Down was one of his best.

27. 2 Chainz, T.R.U. REALigion (2011) { "id": 134474559, "buzz_id": 6670884, "index": 28 } Image via Discogs Ah, the siren song of 2 Chainz: His name. Before this tape came along, the world didn't know we needed 2 Chainz, but T.R.U. REALigion presented a compelling case that we did, one that was simply impossible to ignore after a certain point. That exact point was somewhere during the first listen, right around the ninth time he'd said his new name. That name, so much better than his former moniker, Tity Boi, was perfect for screaming at the top of one's lungs. And who better to showcase his new name than an all-star roster of producers (Mike WILL Made It, Dumma Boy, Lex Luger) and some of rap's most reliable rhymers (Jadakiss, Raekwon, and, uh, Kreayshawn)?

26. Earl Sweatshirt, Earl (2010) { "id": 134474566, "buzz_id": 6670884, "index": 29 } Image via Discogs Much like Tyler, the Creator's Bastard, Earl was released at a time in hip-hop culture when there was such an appetite for innovation that fans had turned to fiends, scraping the undersides of their fingernails for whatever slivers of sonic creativity they could find. Earl gave them a fat sack of what they craved, and then some.

24. Lil Wayne, No Ceilings (2009) { "id": 134474564, "buzz_id": 6670884, "index": 31 } Image via Discogs { "id": 134474531 }It was the Lil Wayne mixtape all your friends who didn't make time for the Drought and Dedication series were telling you to download. Why? Was it the David Guetta sample, the Black Eyed Peas flip, or the "Poke Her Face" and "D.O.A." rips? Was it the way Wayne seemingly lit more blunts track-to-track than on any other recording he's ever released?

22. Lupe Fiasco, Fahrenheit 1/15 Part II: Revenge Of The Nerds (2006) { "id": 134474562, "buzz_id": 6670884, "index": 39 } Image via Getty/Jason Merritt Lupe Fiasco, who grew up on Chicago's rough west side, came out the gate performing Fabolous-style street rap (over Chicago house samples, no less!) but it wasn't until the series of Fahrenheit 1/15 mixtapes dropped that the rapper seemed to find himself, bringing Kanye's conflicted neuroses and wedding them to a dexterous technical skill. 2351a5e196
