Mixtape of the Week

http://www.refinedhype.com/mixtapes/novel-joell-ortiz-defying-the-predictable/novel-joell-ortiz-defying-the-predictable.zip

There are three types of mixtapes in the world and they are ranked as follows: intolerable, tolerable, and good. Somehow though, this mixtape falls in between the lader. There are a few songs on this tape that I feel like throwing into my rotation and listening too again, but no song on this tape comes close to classic. I enjoyed the duffle bag boy remix, especially when I heard the Prince tribute to "Dove's Cry", and also when I got another chance to hear the same kid, Short Dawg, that's on Lil' Wayne's "No Ceilings" mixtape. Other than Short Dawg, there's a couple of good features on here including, Jadakiss and Saigon (on the same track!), Papoose, and even One Republic (if you wanna consider using a beat a feature). Besides these features though, not many other songs stand out. Overall, this is a good mixtape to bump when you don't want your good shit getting old.
