Mixtape Review

DJ Envy & Big Mike: Ahead of the Competition 3.7
Standout tracks:
Camron,Jim Jones and Juelz Santana:"Go Back to Church": The Diplomats bring it to Pastor Betha,comedy ensues.
Styles P:"8-25-03": The Ghost gives us another anthem over a Neo produced track.
Nas:"Streets Disciple": After this track, the buzz for the new album has moved from "feverish" to "deafening".
Jay Z:"Ignorant Shit":This widely circulated heater is finally making the mixtape rounds.
Cam'ron:"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun":With nonsense like this and "Push It",Cam's singlehandedly killing all anticipation for his next album.
Game ft Kanye West and Ludacris:"Whole City Behind Us":The first repeat- worthy joint I've heard from Game in a while (I was getting sick of hearing him use "gangsta" in every line). Add the radioactive verses from Luda and Kanye, and you've got a banger.
Kanye West ft Mase and Common:"Jesus Walks Rmx": Think of some remixes that were better than the original(Scenario,Flava in Ya Ear,Get Money,ect). This song belongs in that category.
