The Max-Approved Mixtape So Far: Tracks 21 - 40


I'm sure the reappearance of the Max-Approved Mixtape threw a couple of you for a loop the other day.  I hadn't intended on going that hard on the remix posts, but shit happens, and either way, these kinds of posts are a hell of a lot easier (and faster) to write than actual album reviews.  However, I really ran that "Respiration" post because I counted up my past offerings and realized I was one short of a full twenty, which leads me to today's entry.

As I did last time, I figured today was a great time to compile the last twenty tracks that made my custom playlist.  This also serves the dual purpose of reminding you two about the other stuff on the mixtape.  If you want to read my thoughts and/or stories regarding each selection, click on the links below.  Otherwise, I suppose you could just complain about the lack of Game reviews on the site, which, seriously?  Nobody has ever complained as much about not reading about The Game than some of you two have on the blog this year.  But I digress.

Again, the tracks are presented in order of their post dates and not in their order of importance in my mind.

      I never said the songs on this series represented my absolute favorites from particular artists, just SOME of my favorites. Hell, in the Jay Electronica write-up I even mentioned a song I liked more than "Be Easy". But yes, I love "Be Easy", so.

    A Drake song on the Max approved mixtape. We made it!

    I know you've never ever ever heard this before. But there's an up and coming rapper rapper called "Game" and he released a totally not well known project called the Documentary 2 and 2.5. I think you should review it because, not enough people are talking about it on this particular blog.

    I like the mixtape series and most of the songs on here. As for album reviews.....

    Game would be ok, but I would actually rather see Snoop's R&G album, or the next Ice Cube in your series, or a review of a Jay Rock or Ab Soul album. If you are still sticking with the West Coast theme that is.

      Not sure yet. I'd have to find my copy, which is lost somewhere in my office.
