There is no doubt that mixtapes are still a great indicator of a rapper’s success and mystique. Even though websites like DatPiff aren’t as hot as they once were, there was a certain magic to that period in hip-hop. So many artists were able to build incredible discographies on platforms like that, and some of theirs are even considered classics. Speaking of the latter, that was a topic up for debate on the most recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast. Overall, the entire panel had different answers to who they felt had the best discography of mixtapes.
Some of the usual MCs like Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Gucci Mane, Jeezy, Wiz Khalifa, and Fabolous came up in the debate. However, right at the top of the discussion, Joe Budden immediately said crowned himself the king of these sorts of projects. “Oh, that’s easy, me,” the former rapper said. At first, no one really paid any attention to their host. All of those other names that we mentioned were thrown out there way before Budden’s name would eventually come into play.
