mixtape (NO DJ) version. http://www.datpiff.com/Kevin-Gates-Stra ... 15984.html

I think it's like Freddie Gibbs' #BFK and Str8 Killa vs Str8 Killa No Filla, or even the iTunes version of Luca Brasi or KRIT Wuz Here.

They took tracks out due to samples or interpolations that they didn't want to clear for the retail versions.

weird that he's playing Oxford MS and not Jackson or Vicksburg. Oxford is Greek fraternity breeding ground of future Republican senators. I guess in a way that's where the biggest payout will be.

yeah i thought the same thing. i guess college town.

are any of the old blues musicians that fat possum used to milk off from oxford?

i notice i'm anywhere from a 3 hour to 7 hour drive from almost half of these spots.

not really. T-Model Ford passed a couple of weeks ago. He was one of the last true Delta Bluesmen of notable status. Burnsides gone too. Dead breed.

Gates was in my town at the local VFW late last year and I tried to go. Place was packed and I was the only cracker in sight. I did manage to get through the door for the last couple songs but couldn't get close enough to see the performance due to crowd size. I think I'm gonna try to hit that Oxford show.

talk about tapping an uncommon resource. i had never been to a VFW show that wasn't for metal or punk bands.

Anybody have a dl of that type of way freestyle?

Luca Brasi Story and Stranger Than Fiction still in heavy rotation. Love the hell outta those two records.

I don't think it was ever posted in here (maybe the Baton Rouge/LA thread?), but Southern Hospitality did a pretty thorough retrospective of Gates that still gets spins:

Dope. I would have included Roaming around , when the lights go down and Paper chasers.

Replay value of Luca Brasi Story is insane.

on repeat

Anybody jamming that new one yet? I like "By Any Means" better than "Stranger Than Fiction" but not quite as much as "Luca Brasi". Either way shit is fire.

damn, i didn't realize it had dropped already. i saw there was a new video out, but didn't inspect further.

The lack of discussion of this mixtape on this board is insane. Other than the Freddie Gibbs/Madlib album this has gotten the most play from me this year in terms of new releases.

Preach!

I agree. Love it. Better than "Stranger Than Fiction" but not as good as "Luca Brasi" IMHO.

Yeah nothing will top Luca.
