Shaun from the ETMF Podcast forwarded me a listener's question that we thought was really cool. The email asked:
"If you could create an album...any genre of music. You can pick any artist and producer
What would be... Your album cover, how many tracks, the features and how would you promote it. This is a one-time album release. This could be an instant classic or this could be table coaster..."
So in typical Podcast on Repeat fashion, we obsessed over it for a few days and thought that a mixtape is the best way to create a dream album. So in this episode, we'll pick the artists, and the next episode will be the producers. So without further ado the artist for the best mixtape EVER!
1. Jhene Aiko & Chance the Rapper
2. Jay Z & Yuna
3. The Internet & Kendrick Lamar
4. Drake & Kehlani
5. Nas & Anderson .Paak
6. Wale & BJ the Chicago Kid
7. Alessia Cara & Joey Badass
8. J. Cole & Abir
But all of this thinking about a perfect mixtape has us reminiscing on some of my all-time favorite mixtapes:
J Cole - The Warmup - Grown Simba
Childish Gambino - "STN MTN / Kauai" - F*cks Given
TINASHE – ‘AMETHYST’ - Wrong
Chance the Rapper - Acid Rapper - Juice
Jhené Aiko - Sailing Soul(s) - Higher
Joey Badass - 1999 - Waves
Kehlani - You Should Be Here - You Should Be Here
Drake - So Far Gone Mixtape - Successful
Jhené Aiko - Sailing Soul(s) - Space Jam
Frank Ocean - nostalgia, ULTRA - We All Try
Donnie The Trumpet and the Social Experiment - Soul Candy
