I dont have this exact mixtape but I have 4 of his other ones and almost every song on here. I first heard of Pap on G Rap's "Roots of Evil" from 1998 and I've loved him ever since. He give the true meaning to LYRICIST! and he writes some tight songs & perhaps the best freestyle I EVER heard. This one has 14 songs, 12 of them I've heard before, guests are on about half the songs, and of the 12 I heard, 2 are classics, 1 is almost a classic, 2 are ok, the rest are tight songs. I heard he signed a 1.5 million dollar deal and I can't wait for his major label debut to drop cause it'll be at least a 4.5 star album I know and don't forget to cop his other mixtapes at mixtapeone.com or allmixtapes.com!

Finally a real lyricist to breathe some life back into hip hop. I can't wait for his album to drop. Although I already had a lotta the songs on this cd I still had to cop it just to support da man. This cat can spit like no other. He's like some kool g rap+big daddy kane+pac+nas all in one. Anyone who aint feelin Pap or is sleepin on him aint a true fan of hip hop. There is no denying this cats talent.
If you haven't listened to Papoose yet, think of a new BigL...His lyrics are just as clever and his flow and voice just as unique. I actually think papoose is BigL's long lost son or something.
Diz dude is trash... Listin to krs one , common, redman , lord finesse ,rakim to name a few... papoose is trash.
