    You got Chance putting out album quality mixtapes for free and Drake charging the price of an album for a mixtape, the lines are so blurred.

    Now they are. I was more talking about the original premise of them. Barter 6 is still debated about as to whether it's an album or officially a mixtape

    hard to narrow it down to just one guy or group, because there are many good runs

    But I think Pharoahe Monch gets overlooked

    Organized Komfusion
    Stress
    The Equinox
    Internal Affairs (solo)
    Desire (solo)
    W.A.R. (solo)

    And these all came back to back
