You dudes need to post music faster, I got this off of Mixtapetorrent a few hours ago.
damn flea you givin ninjas grief for bein a few HOURS late??? ease up mayne…i know you get a little over-excited sometimes (!!! ???) but sheesh
lol, keeping up w/the Jones, releasing free music & being vulnerable to lawsuits = not the business. C&D’s & lawyer fees ain’t no joke.
But if you check the comments, fools are always posting stuff as soon as it drops.
Oh, ninjaz are dissin’ me now??? Don’t make me pull a hiphopruckus up in here!!!
LMAO
You already got the top commenter slot fam. *bows down to greatness*
This mixtape is money…. J. Period does it again.
LMAO @ getting it from a torrent when it premiered on J Dot’s site.
im listenin to this right now, tape is pure fire front to back
I listened to it. J. Period never disappoints. He’s probably best mixtape dj doin it right now (Mick Boogie and DJ Jamad, are both equally as talented). His mixes have more cohesiveness and consistency throughout than any other mixtape series at the moment. He gives new life to old music (albeit, already classic music) almost making them sound like albums instead of random songs thrown together. Other mixtape dj’s need to take note. Kudo’s to him on another stellar joint.
^ Agreed, even though you wish J.Period would come out with material with alittle more frequency; but the time he takes on each project is well spent. Excellent mixtape. I can’t wait for Vol. 2
Hey everyone, i blasted my credit file to bits as a youngster, trust me you really need it later in life, for a home a holiday
These summer shoes come in all shapes and sizes and you can find a pair that will look great for casual wear during the day and also sandals that you can wear with something a little bit more dressed up for the evening.
