Does it though? Are we comparing a mix tape dropped in the middle of the tracking period to a full length album complete with marketing etc.... ? I don't think The Throne remains supreme once the receipts are investigated.

WATTBA sounds amazing in the car, blesssssssss

Stop calling that mess a "mixtape." It's a full-length album, therefore it's comparable. If it was a legitimate mixtape, it would have been release for no charge at all.

Stop flopping.

I've been saying this forever, but the Drake fans who know so much about Hip Hop tried to tell me otherwise.

I this mix tape more than the last one and I thought it was fantastic. I actually think Drake is onto something here. He is redefining the way we are doing music. Beyonce did it first with an album but Drake took it even a step further with these mixtapes.

Sad for Lana, she should have gotten the #1 spot. Her material is better. Congrats to Drake's inevitable #1 album though.

Can we say that Music of the sun and A girl like me are mixtapes?

no
both drakes albums this year and rihs first two are albums

Right!? Drake releasing all these albums!

I don't need to calm down from anything, Onika stan. It is NOT a "mixtape" and it's only being called one to make the achievement bigger than what it really is. I'm sticking with that. Deal with it.
