So out of the 8 actual songs on this mixtape, 6 were dope to me. They are very informative and entertaining for the most part, but one listen was enough for me to get the idea. The number is deceitful because out of the 14 tracks found on this mixtape, 6 are actually 1 minute interludes that consist of Yo Gotti speaking on a variety of issues. On this mixtape I found myself sparing 6 out of the 14 songs from the dreaded bin. The process frees up my hard drive and ears from unnecessary material. Rapper’s generic take on the beat of the week? Recycle Bin. Dope song with a DJ yelling every 30 seconds? Recycle Bin. It’s a simple process with a plethora of factors that influence. Then throw out anything I don’t see myself listening to again. I’ve reduced mixtapes to a practical process. “January 10th” serves both as a way for Yo Gotti to vent and clear up a few issues and drop some tracks which were left off the retail version of his album. Yo Gotti rightfully calls himself one of the most popular rappers on the mixtape circuit and is unhappy with the unceremonious manner his album has been treated. After being in limbo for over 5 years, Yo Gotti only learned of “Live From The Kitchen’s” release date when someone told him the album was up for pre-order on iTunes. Yet, with “Live From The Kitchen” Yo Gotti felt a little disrespected and for good reason. His major label “debut” dropped on Januand this mixtape was meant to both undercut and advertise “Live From The Kitchen.” Like any rapper, Yo Gotti wants to sell records. The second reason is the fact this date holds some significance to the Memphis emcee. Name the mixtape after its release date and advertise both with one short phrase. Yo Gotti’s latest mixtape veers from his every popular “Cocaine Music” concept for more than a few reasons.
