the ORIGINAL unsigned legend. this man spent years dogwalking labels who wanted him and remains maybe the greatest “what if” in the history of music. any fan of the mixtape era must study his entire catalog (lovingly and extensively preserved by his family and friends) but specifically THIS TAPE. there has never been a rapper like him before, or since, bridging the 90s obsession with lavish luxury into the 2000s braggadocious era and creating the GORGEOUS GANGSTA.
this man roomed with lupe fiasco and got on kanye beats in 2002, knew lil wayne was going to be the greatest in 2007, and bolstered some of the greatest deep cuts in the Dipset catalogue. his music sounds like two years in the future - always.
rest in peace STACK BUNDLES.

Been running these old classics back. His run is unmatched. Your favorite artist idolizes this man for good reason. Amazing wordplay, elite flow. Like mixtape Wayne can’t be repeated and I love reliving this moment in time that’ll never happen again. Good times man.

When these kids first came straight outta Long Island in 1989, there was no such thing as ‘backpacker hip-hop’ or even really an ‘Underground’
Something this eccentric and funny (FBOW, hip-hop skits started here) didn’t even have an audience. It had to be built.
Posdnuos, Trugoy (RIP) and DJ Maseo created a whole new world with producer Prince Paul that we are still exploring today.

It's a sorry way for a man to feel
But sentimental is part of the deal
I hate myself because it shows how
I'm a fool for your rodeo
