Everyone loves something free, the best free gift to Hip-Hop listeners is a mixtape. Every day different tapes are available from all different Hip-Hop styles for our listening pleasure. Out of all the mixtapes available throughout 2012 we are giving you the 10 best mixtapes of the year. Check them out after the jump…
To start off the week, the biggest boss in the game gives MTV Jams the nod to premiere one of my favorite tracks off of his Rich Forever mixtape. The video is directed by DRE Films and SpiffTV. Due remember, Future‘s debut album Pluto hits stores on Tuesday. Self Made 2 and God Forgives, I Don’t on the way as well.
Off of the Rich Forever mixtape released back in January, Rick Ross hooks up with Dre Films as usual and shoot the official visuals to one of the stand out tracks on the mixtape. Self Made 2 and God Forgives, I Don’t coming soon.
PETA probably won’t be too thrilled with Ross’ new video, but that was probably the furthest thing from his mind. Rozay drops yet another visual from January’s Rich Forever. The video itself is nothing too outrageous as its mainly Ross, his usual luxury vehicle, an outrageous coat, stacks of money and the always-need blunt.
Here’s to hoping a video for “Holy Ghost” is somewhere in the future. Either that or “Ring, Ring.”
Rick Ross took to the Nokia Club in Los Angeles this past weekend for a gig and with a new and much talked about project that was just released in Rich Forever, MMG’s head honcho took the opportunity to bless the crowd with the material.
Good, now that we’ve got the essentials out the way, allow me to say this. “Holy Ghost” will go down as one of Ross’ best tracks. Yeah, I know it’s a “prisoner of the moment” statement, but the song is the epitome of what he represents: rebellious production mixed with his one of a kind voice. Plus, Diddy’s trash talking helped put it over the top. If you haven’t listened to this track while in the gym, do so. Trust me. Just do it.

Just days after Rick Ross released his Rich Forever mixtape featuring a reported Common diss from Drake, the Chi-Town emcee is firing back.
As previously reported, Rich Forever dropped at 3:05 Friday and featured 2 Chainz, French Montana, Pharrell and Drake.
On the track “Stay Schemin” Drake raps about “Gods acting like broads” and seemed to be subliminally dissing Common for using their reported beef to sell records.
“It’s feeling like rap changed, there was a time it was rugged, Back when if a n*gga reached it was for the weapon. Nowadays n*ggas reach just to sell they records.”
Obviously tired of the subliminals, Common has released a remix to the track he’s retitled “Stay Schemin” featuring Common, Ross, French Montana and “That Hoe Ass N*gga [Drake].”
On it, he calls out Drake by name and even adds a loop of Destiny Childs’ “Say My Name” inviting the Canadian rapper to drop the subliminals and do the same.
“Acting all hard and you not really like that/ You gon’ mess around and make me catch a body like that/Don’t do it/Because every song you make Joe is really hoe music [...] Make no mistake I’m talking to Drake…”
Rut roh…
Let’s see how Drake responds.
It’s finally here. The mixtape that’s basically an album from Rick Ross. I’m assuming that there are a few records on here that were on “God Forgives, I Don’t” before the seizures and the album push back but that doesn’t matter because I know this mixtape is more than good. Features from French Montana, Future, Travis Porter and many many more. Tracklist above. Download link below.
When God Forgives, I Don’t was pushed back, I was pretty mad because I think this was the album that would go down as one of the best of the year as well as one of the best albums Ross has put out to this day.
In order to make up for his album being pushed back, Rozay has compiled an 18 track mixtape full of new material for the fans. Features on the mixtape include 2 Chainz, Nas, T.I., French Montana, MMG and many many more as you can see above on the tracklist. Full mixtape drops tomorrow at 3:05 P.M.
