DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Im perplexed business wise as to why he would release a mixtape with an album coming so soon. I mean it's not like it's a four song EP like Meghan Trainor's. This is a lengthy 17 song mixtape. Hope it all works out for him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rat Boy 41,334 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 What's the difference between a mixtape and an album? Mixtapes are normally free and are not as polished as an album. Most mixtapes don't really have a tight and cohesive concept. "Rat Boy's a nasty, trashy, sleazy, classless"- River Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Goulding 8 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 the only surprise for me is that he still has a career What exactly are you basing this on considering his last album sold nearly 700K in its first week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rat Boy 41,334 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 the only surprise for me is that he still has a career He is one of the most critically and commercially successful rappers of this decade. His previous album sold over 700K in a week. Please do your research before you attempt to throw shade. Some of you need to broaden your music horizons and learn that there are other genres and artists who aren't female pop stars.

Harry 26,836 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I got so excited cos I thought this was the new album that's coming out later this year lol. I don't get why he would sell a mixtape? EDIT: People are speculating that he released the mixtape to iTunes as an album to end his 4-album contract with Cash Money Records so he can release the album Views From the 6 without them. If he had a problem with them, it would make sense considering Lil Wayne's album drama against them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappers always release mixtapes that are basically full length albums. But the point is that they're usually free, they're supposed to be 'for the fans', and act as a way to draw in new people - cos it's free. They're basically used as a promotional tool and have been for decades, but I guess now with the internet the lines between a mixtape and an album are kind of blurred. Especially now with Drake selling a mixtape and giving it away at the same time lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its a good method, his fans will buy it to support him, and the people who don't wanna buy it, will download it for free and if they like it they'll start buying his music.. Destiny is for losers. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael 533 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 So this isn't an actual album? A lot of people are referring to it as his fourth album, but I'm sure he already confirmed that his next album was called "Views from the 6". Regardless tho, I'm excited to listen! I love his music.
