Apr 20, 2025 at 12:01 PM Tracklist looks like one of those Eminem verses where he’s talking about these young cats disrespecting hip-hop’s roots. Excited to listen, not very familiar with most of these. Also, this has a bunch of artists I’ve been meaning to check out.

Apr 20, 2025 at 9:18 PM @AOTWClub @DiggleDogg69 - Everyone's Fifth Favourite mixtape I loved this mix. Excellent variety of songs but still flowed nice. A lot of classic songs on here. Not really any complaints tbh. 8.5/10
Apr 21, 2025 at 5:15 PM @DiggleDogg69 - Everyone’s Fifth Favorite Mixtape review I’ve been listening to this mixtape for a few days now and can confidently say that this is truly a well assembled mix. It is also one that came closest to fulfilling the expectations I’ve had from this whole idea of a period playlist spanning three decades up until the turn of the century. What I mean by this is; everyone’s tapes so far have been really great, but this one simply captures that glammy, borderline excessive feel of those 30 years. I’m not saying that we should’ve been forcing ourselves to portray this essence, because my mixtape most certainly does not do that - it fails miserably lol. My point is, when I think of this period’s music, sounds like this immediately come to mind. Hence, Everyone’s Fifth Favorite Mixtape is a really great product of it’s time, it is made up of nothing but bangers and the era’s musical standouts. I don’t have all that much to say about the songs themselves; a ton of them are classics that I’ve been enjoying for years and will continue to do so. Despite this, there are tracks on here that I wasn’t really familiar with. For example the MJ demo track which is a deeply enjoyable, fun standout. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a demo this polished. Another song I enjoyed a lot more than I expected was the ‘New Kids On The Block s--- a lot of d-ck, boy-girl groups make me sick’ track. Jokes aside, this song is so great. Such a tender and wavy moment on this tape. I’ve been a big McCartney fan for years but somehow never got around to listening to Ram. I should really get to that album ASAP cause Uncle Albert/ Admiral Halsey was easily my favorite song on here. It just does it for me,man. Precisely the right ratio of vibes to artsiness. Stellar, stellar song. Catchy as h--- too, McCartney is so good at this songwriting s---, he should’ve had started a band back in the day, man. Hearing Joan Jett on here was a treat too. I love her. Bad Reputation and Sabotage were a great burst of energy to start off the closing portion of this tape with. The Deftones song, too. I never dug very deep into the Deftones discog, I mean I haven’t really heard anything besides for White Pony. My Own Summer (Shove It), however, was a brilliant track. These guys build a great atmosphere on here, Chino’s voice is very engaging. The final three tracks being back-to-back legendary tunes is a bit of a safe play but I cannot fault you for it. All three songs are massive classics that pretty much cannot be overplayed. Nothing Else Matters is a good choice of a closer! Overall, it is pretty much impossible to hate on this. It is a great collection of songs. Thank You for getting me to finally listen to this McCartney project and thanks for the fun mix in general! Not trying to spite you but this one ain’t sounding like my Fifth Favorite Mixtape, it’s sounding like a 10/10 @AOTWClub @Justin Trudeau

Apr 23, 2025 at 12:36 AM @DiggleDogg69 @AOTWClub Everyone's (Fifth) Favorite Mixtape: I had an all around good time with this one! No More ?'s was a super fun opener Eazy E is always nice to listen to. Everlasting Bass was cool, I liked hearing the original sample and it had a good sound even if it didn't click with me as much as some others. Sunset Driver is f---ing dope, the crack that MJ put in his music is lethal. Dancing Queen is a classic, anyone who hates ABBA is no friend of mine. We Got The Beat is another good classic, idk if I actually listened to this song in full before so that was cool I'll Be Loving You is a super smooth pleasant jam, I'm happy some of this music is making its way into the playlists I was afraid it'd get a little samey even with the large net of the prompt. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey was a lot more enjoyable than I was expecting, especially that second half. A confession of mine is that I've barely listened to the Beatles group or solo work so outside of the huge hits I'm not very familiar. I will forever be biased towards Journey, incredibly more so when it's my goat Steve Perry on the mic. Wheel In The Sky is a great pick. I have a journey song on my Playlist but depending on how I'm feeling I might switch it out for something else now, I have a couple ideas. Baby Blue was great, very enjoyable track. The only problem it has (albeit an unfair one) is that all the tracks coming after are generational. Call Me is a 10, anyone who disagrees is a liar and a whole I've always loved Joan Jett so Bad Reputation speaks to my soul Now there's Beastie Boys songs I like more but for the sake of a playlist I think Sabotage is a good pick, you can't really go wrong with any of their hits. These next couple songs hit a soft spot for me, My Own Summer is actually goated. Great song from a great album and a good mixtape pick for deftones. Heart Shaped Box is my favorite Nirvana song, it's incredible. Everything about it is perfect and it's unfairly my favorite song of the tape. Not much to say about Wish You Here, it's f---in Wish You Were Here everyone should love this one Nothing Else Matters was a good closer, it's a well known one but not something someone would immediately think of which I appreciate. Overall: I think the only thing I can really dock this on is that it's not really cohesive sonically but it doesn't need to be, I liked basically all the songs except for one or two that just aren't for me. This had a good mix of variety that never overstayed its welcome and was a smooth listen all the way through which is difficult when choosing between so many genres. Favorite songs: No More ?'s, Sunset Driver, Wheel In The Sky, Call Me, Bad Reputation, Heart Shaped Box, Wish You Were Here RATING: 9/10
Apr 24, 2025 at 9:02 PM Ripper Roo - Ripper Raw Wait a second. If there's a "Ripper Raw" does that mean that there's a "Ripper Smackdown"??? Jokes aside, I was very excited to get into Ripper's tape. "Every Roo Has Its Day" had quite a few pop/R&B tracks, so to have a full-on 80's/90's Hip-Hop tape was a choice that I was very intrigued by. With that said, here is the track by track: It’s Been A Long Time- The only non-feature songs I know from Rakim come from Paid in Full, so this is new. I love the track, and it works as an incredible intro. Hey Young World- Wasn’t too into this one, but I still liked it. Also, hearing the “believe it or not” line that was sampled on Kanye’s “No Mistakes” was a trip I swear. Far From Yours- Pretty dope sample. Never heard of O.C. before, but he did great on this track. Straighten It Out- Yet another great track!!! Pete Rock is one of the GOATs and CL Smooth absolutely kills it Smooth Operator- Hey this isn’t the Sade song!!! Just joking of course. This is once again a great track, and the sample work on the beat is nuts. Ya Playin’ Yaself- I know that I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but this is a great track AGAIN. Ripper is on a roll, dear God. A Friend- This beat is f---ing fire, holy s---. KRS kills the verses as well. Get Down- Yet ANOTHER b-----r. The first half of this tape is absolutely incredible What I’m Here 4- I f---ing love Moment of Truth, and I f---ing love this song. I swear, Ripper absolutely cooked with this tape Dirty South- A track from one of the best Atlanta rap albums ever??? Oh lord, I'm gonna faint. Great track once again Double Trouble- You know the drill. Incredible track, and Mos Def is one of the best rappers EVER. Let the Games Begin- I love Pun and Joe, so this track is an absolute treat. Hard Knox- Wasn't familiar with Ant Banks before this, but I loved this track as well, That beat is nasty Punk Mutha Fuckaz- I know this is strange, but the only other 2nd II None song that I know is from a Sopranos episode where 2 guys are smoking bongs in their underwear, while watching their HDTV. Strange memories aside, I really enjoyed this track as well, although its probably the weakest on the tape, at least for me. I’m The f---in’ Murderer- Another great track, amazing beat, and Spice-1 kills it. Ready To Die- Classic Biggie track and a great outro. Honestly, this is my favorite tape that we've had on this club so far, and I mean that with no exaggeration. Everything flows so well, and despite the fact that the songs are from the East/West/South, the whole project feels so cohesive. I loved this tape. @Ripper Roo you f---ing cooked on this man. FAVORITE TRACKS: ALL OF THEM RATING: 10/10 (i'm a scorewhore, I admit it) @Justin Trudeau @AOTWClub
Apr 24, 2025 at 9:17 PM Holy s---, thanks for the glowing review bro I didn’t expect this! I’m a bit busy right now but I’ll give a proper response later!
Apr 24, 2025 at 9:20 PM Well maybe if Gen Z wasn’t so p----, they respect the OG’s Pubes. I’m talking deeper than the Roots. we need Black Thought in the news, and Questlove should be taught in schools. I don’t hate Math now, but I still laugh at the class clowns. You better respect Digital Underground, or these literal Caps will sound; Blaow!!
Apr 24, 2025 at 9:26 PM Holy s--- tomorrow is Friday, can’t wait for this Ripper tape time going by so fast I thought it was still my tape’s week
Apr 24, 2025 at 11:51 PM Yup, it could even be the sequel. Then the magnum opus would be Ripper WrestleMania or RipperMania for short. When I made that previous tape I was listening to a lot of pop and R&B. There are periods of time where I listen to those genres more than hip hop and I often promote those genres more than hip hop on this site, but overall hip hop has always been my main genre that I’ve listened to the most and know the most about compared to other genres. The 90s was basically the golden era of hip hop so once we did this decade s--- 90s hip hop popped into my mind. Plus I think it was @Allis Mines who suggested I eventually do a hip hop heavy tape and I thought it was a good idea too, what better time to do that tape than now when we are doing the 70s-90s type s---. And of course, this is mainly a hip hop forum so I feel like that’s a slam dunk. But I tried to go for less obvious songs rather than picking the biggest songs I could think of. I’m glad you think it’s an incredible intro. I’ve always heard this song and thought, “Man, this would be a great intro,” so I was psyched to finally use this song as an intro here. It’s currently my fav Rakim song and it always gives a good feeling like no other when I hear it. h--- yeah, I always love those oh s--- moments of realization Guess I better change my name to Ripper Roll I really felt like I was in my element making this tape so it’s good to have this confirmation f--- yeah, I feel like sometimes Mos Def doesn’t get brought up enough in those GOAT convos. I recently discovered him as well and I was like god d---. As soon as I heard this track I knew I had to include it and I wanna check more of his stuff later Lmaooooo not the sopranos episode Spice 1 is another underrated rapper I feel like Second time in a row I’ve had some depressing s--- as my outro lol I just love a sad ending sometimes Wow man, what an honor it is to have this be your favorite tape so far. I had no idea anyone would like it this much tbh. I’m glad I was able to make something you love
