In the early 2010's, Mixtapes were going through a golden age. 3 years in a row a mixtape dropped that is elite gold status to me, each being my favorite work by the artists involved. 2011: Rocky's Live Love A$ap, 2012: Joey Bada$$' 1999, and 2013: Vince Staples’ & Larry Fisherman's (Mac Miller) Stolen Youth. Mac's production here is classic and timeless, sounding just as grimy, blingy, and fresh listening today as it did in 2013. This dropped before Vince really broke onto the scene with Hell Can Wait, but Stolen Youth is packed with bars on par with his following projects. If you've somehow missed out on this classic, check it out for sure. RIP to Mac <3
