By all accounts Busta's Back On My Bullshit is a dissappointment. It seems there was plenty of bullshit, just not much vintage Busta bullshit. I had high hopes originally but the mixtape forced me to lower my expectations. So this post is dedicated to what might have been:
Busta's still got it. I just wish 'it' made it onto the new record.

Kneel Knaris - Never Gonna Make It
Going Sane in a Crazy World is out now, I just need to find someone who'll sell it to me (why no love for Australians Amazon?). Thankfully Government Names has another track to keep me going.

Spec Boogie - Edward Scissorhands
Spec Boogie is doing a Summer Movie Season mixtape. He's rapping over movie scores. This one's from Edward Scissorhands. The first one was from The Warriors. Good stuff.

Elucid - Progress
Elucid is one of my favourite rappers. His Smash N Grab mixtape was a revelation to me. I was just listening to it this morning and reflecting that more than any rapper I've heard, he really gets the vibe of a beat and works with it to make something with depth. He's an artist.
Anyway, I'm always on the lookout for new Elucid and Khal just posted Elucid's Progress mixtape. It isn't exactly new, it's his stuff from 2003-2005, before Smash N Grab. I'm listening to it at the moment. So far (up to track 9) he's rocking more conventional beats. I like.

I make sure everything remains raw
A bunch of mixtapes worth checking have dropped lately. I haven't really kept up with them so try at your own risk but I bet there's at least a couple of good ones among them. (ht: Get Right Music)
I like what I've heard from Red and Meth's latest so far. Blackout 2 is out soon. This is definitely worth a listen.
Busta's new stuff is promising (if a bit ridiculous). I'm looking forward to listening to this one through.
A cool mixtape of Wu Tang and other golden age stuff. It's an education. Definitely check this one.
Ice Cube hasn't been the same since the mid 90s but he's got plenty of material for a best of mixtape. One of the best angry rappers.

DJ Green Lantern & Red and Meth - Lights Out
I'm still not totally sold on The Cool Kids but I've heard this 'tape is good. I've only heard a few tracks so far. It hasn't blown my mind.
The Cool Kids - Gone Fishing
Rae's Cuban Linx 2 is almost getting into Detox territory. Still, he's been working hard and the songs that've been leaking are strong. Check it.
