Hip Hop

this shit is TOO ILL. joell solidified himself in my top 5.
this shit is fire…renee’s revenge definitely is standing out after the first listen..that track had me hitting repeat
mixtape/album of the year.
joell be killing it. that video where he a crackhead is the shit
you must be easily impressed.
nice tape?
yeah, good concept, nice execution.
but he ain’t nowhere any top 5 and that’s for deaf kids too.
too early. one dope album, one nice mixtape.
anybody give this a listen yet? are there many DJ drops?
joell is one of the dopest lyricists coming up. i know hes been around for a minute, but you know what im saying.
nah, the dj drops actually work to his advantage. not distracting in any fashion. this ain’t some whoo kid shit.
only songs i recognize by name are Public Enemy #1, Mass Appeal (gangstarr), and Drop A Gem On Em (mobb). lets see what others i recognize. ILL cover for suuureee though
thats all u recognize? nevermind i wont say anything
I Just put this on my ipod about to bump this!
dope dope dope dope….i havent had a computer in a minute and i just copped a macbook…..i never really went on sites before for music and you guys have easily stepped into the number 1 spot.
damn, first time i see a mixtape like this… he just dropped 16′s after 16′s on classics
FUCK YES.
definitely recognize almost all of these after listening to them
lmao @ how overhyped this is
Would be nice if they had a b side with all the originals
Rican ebonics ’09 is fucking impressive. I mean L is insane but Joell really ripped that. I think the theme of this mixtape forces you to compare him to the elite and when you see how well he stacks up that makes a big impression. shit is dope as hell.
Thirty. Three. Tracks. I aint download it yet but I got diagnosed with ADHD back in highschool. I don’t know if I have the attention span for that. We shall see though.
*unrelated*
Shake, find the video of Black thought performin tpains part of “I’m on a boat” with Sansberg, Immediately.
It’s actually only like 36 minutes long and most tracks aren’t even longer than a minute
^^ so what man, this shit is still insane…just let it ride and zone out …this is a great mixtape from Joell, I’d be lying if I said wasn’t more excited about he Slaughterhouse effort than his solo …but I’d still love it …peace all.
ps – Lakeshow ‘showed’ up this time around …funny how they do that eh Shakezilla?
This is real nice. Kinda the first I’ve heard of Joell too.
Only a third of the way through and very impressed so far.
Dope mixtape, Joell killed it.
NAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWATTTT!
Joell Ortiz! Y’all stupid if you slept on the brick bodega chronicles!
Hip hop prayed and god gave pun right back!
damn… could someone say me what’s the Original Track of Joell’s U.N.I.T.Y… just sittin around and thinkin an hour ’bout but didn’t hit on it.
I could swear it’s a Pete & CL Joint…
….very nice indeed
U.N.I.T.Y. – Queen Latifah?

New link please ! This shit looks butter

New Link!
Hopefully Green Lantern ain’t mess up this mixtape like Don Cannon did too The Cool Kids – Gone Fishing…
Elzhi influence anyone?
wont let me download it says the file was deleted wtf
im lost on this, its all clips, the other day there was a 3min version of Get Money but on here its on :50 is this a preview album or something?
c/s everything James said.
Being an old head, I recognize every single beat (and truth be told, own every single tape on the cover. ON TAPE). I admit, the concept is nuts, the artwork flawless, the beat selection was ill, but Joell just isn’t THAT nice in my opinion. I feel like there’s about a thousand other rappers I wish would have come up with this idea instead.
A few of the tracks aren’t extracting over into my computer right but from what I’ve heard a few of the songs are way to short to be even listenable, I spose if your bumping the mixtape the full way through just driving around or chilling its pretty good but In terms of good individual songs, No. If they were even just half a minute longer, Id say.
O.K. I take it back, this shit = fireeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Fucking Joell goes in. And some one said this earlier but it’s true: this makes you compare joell against some of the GREATS and he holds his fuckin own. Versatility.
Been sittin here at work listening to this on repeat all damn day. Dopest pure hip-hop mixtape of the year. Don’t come at me with the Drake shit because as much as I dig that So Far Gone, it’s not purely hip-hop.
Joell for the win!!
same here Steve_O….repeat X5 lol…I love how the mixtape goes in with the fast beats to get you hooked and then the hardcore joints right after…it’s like one big ass freestyle. JO you the man! Best Mixtape i heard in a long long time.
I got this shit in the whip…
Ortiz Is Too Sick!
its down shake…
yea… its already down… =/
I’m still listening to this shit a day later, mixed with some old school OutKast too. Which gave me the idea, it would’ve been dope to hear Ortiz go in over ATLiens or Da Art of Storytellin
Here’s another link…

hey Shake/Meka can we get a new link up for this bad boy please?! :)
@ Mr. Needle
Co-Sign, Shake help me out here my man. Trying to give “J – O – E Double What I Never Take” a chance here.
LOL! Same here. I feel like I’ve been sleepin on mad people and I’ve been trying to catch up…
NEW LINK PLEASE SHAKE/MEKA?
yaaaaaaoooooowwwaaaa!
yeah can you please put a new link. That mediafire got shut down and about every other site used it.
[...] Crook and Joell are newer to me, but no less dope. I realized recently that Crooked was on a Chino XL Felli Fell (I think) freestyle I’ve had for years, probably back to when he was on Death Row, but I only really started listening to him lately. He brings a thug swagger to the gang that reminds me of a younger Ice Cube, secure in who he is and a beast on the microphone. All you need to know about Joell is that he says “Yaaaowa” and dropped one of my favorite mixtapes this year, with him covering a whole gang of classic rap songs. [...]
