    Mixtapes during the 2000s to mid 2010s allowed upcoming rappers to build a large fan base before crossing over to the mainstream. 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, J Cole, Travis Scott, Drake, Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, and Childish Gambino used the mixtape game to propel their careers.

    Jay-z even acknowledged Lil Wayne mixtape dominance on DOA track saying, "I might just send this to the mixtape weezy." He even gave him the utmost respect when he heard weezy's version of his own song 'show me what you got' jockinly saying that he was thinking of quitting rapping.
    50 cent also got similar props from Eminem, jockingly saying that he wants to quit rapping after hearing 50's mixtape which got 50 signed to shady aftermath.
    Both rappers changed the hip-hop culture with their mixtapes, you cant help but admire that what they loved doing ultimately helped them break through to the mainstream.

    In Houston, in the South Side, DJ Screw & The Screwed Up Click were freestyling on other rapper’s instrumentals since the early & mid 90’s & selling them on tapes (Screw Tapes). It continued & eventually in the late 90’s Michael Watts & Swisha House in the north side followed the same formula. That’s how I remember mixtapes when I was young growing up in Houston.

    50 cent basically took the attention & spotlight from the DJs and made his own tapes, creating a new format of doing hit records over with new hooks concepts and content which was a huge departure from the regular ol' 16 or 32 bar freestyles, and used that platform to as promotional tool to create a buzz or later on to sale an album, which was used by cats like T.I. , Jeezy,Wayne,Drake and many more.

    It was odd to me that you'd mention Future and even Lil B for his prolific output but gloss over Gucci. Gucci was putting out more mixtapes than anyone knew what to do with, I'm pretty sure he has more than Weezy or Future, and he was dropping most of them from behind bars.

    I feel really blessed to have been born in '99 because I got to grow up with Eminem being my first favorite rapper, which then transitioned to being 50, watching his music videos all the time on TV and playing his video game, to seeing the rise of Lil Wayne being on every song you heard at the time, and Wayne has been and always will be my favorite since then. To this day, I still discover things that those 3 guys did back then that just amaze me to no end. I feel bad for all the kids that didn't get to see the magic of the 2000s like I did. Forever it will be them on my top 3, don't even need a top 5. May god continue to bless them and keep on this earth.

The reason I knew they were my favorites was because their flows, the beats and videos would capture me the most. Ofcourse I didn't understand the lyrics, I wasn't like ole S S over here analyzing their whole catalog and impact and breaking down everything at just 3 years old. Naw I just would always watch what they were doing because every other artist didn't interest me as much. And those artists didn't have to be in their prime for them to be my first favs. They dropped some more heat even after their biggest albums.
