Classic
In Iceland they have a restaurant literally named "American Style". It's made to look like the classic 50s diner, movie memorabilia type place, with burgers and fries.
I have heard a little bit of DJ Screw.
Three 6's Mystic Stylez has been a favourite for a long time, but I didn't care for much else I had heard from them. Open to listening some more though. Do you have any album recommendations for either?
Besides the cost like another comment mentioned, the album is a dying format. Not to say it won't stick around to some extent , it's just not as popular as it once was.
Singles are the way of the present. Why?
- It costs a fraction of the time and effort compared to a whole album
- there is so much more competition for listener attention than ever before that putting out more than song dilutes the chance of a listener hearing the best work
- the average listener isn't listening to whole albums, especially from a new artist they don't know of
- getting onto a playlist is one of the bigger ways to get noticed, and no big playlists are adding anything other than single songs
- for a band or artist that is actively trying to get noticed, there is a lot of effort that can go into advertising and marketing. Promoting one song, one music video for that song, one remix of that song etc. is a lot of work already and arguably more effective than promoting multiple songs. Think brand recognition.
- they could be "saving" unreleased songs for a time when they are ready to release an album or EP, or they could be testing the waters to see if live crowds are into it before committing to a release or not
- similar to some previous points, they may want to build a fanbase that will actually listen to an album, before just releasing it into the void
That's just my thoughts and opinion on the subject as hobbyist music maker, seeing what people are doing these days. I myself prefer albums and will listen all the way through, but it's no longer the standard.

S****ed trades? 🚨
I'm probably more of a casual hip hop head compared to others here, but THIS mixtape is something special to me. I listened religiously when it came out and bumped it in my first car for several summers. This is my 2nd place for all-time most scrobbled releases on last.fm
I really think what sets this apart for me is the beats. Peso, and Palace and Bass with Clams Casino... They're all very memorable and have a certain something that I don't find often in hip hop. The pitched down vocals are also something I hadn't heard often making this feel extra fresh and rebellious.
Best tracks: Palace, Bass, Peso, Purple Swag PART 2 (missing from most versions - because SGP beef? - link below), Trilla. You really can't go wrong with this one.

Sorry about that

I can't hold my breath for nearly that long
Lawful neutral. I'm surprised more people don't just use the clip that came with it. It's kept the bread fresh the whole time up to you acquiring it, so why not keep using it?
