In an exclusive statement provided to HipHopDX, M-Eighty says that he is thankful for his experience in the music industry.
“Compiling this compilation and listening to it from front to back reminds me of how grateful I am to have been a part of so many of Hip Hop’s finest releases in the past decade,” he says. “It makes me fortunate to know that through my continued dedication and respect for the art form that another decade of progress and prosperity is right around the corner.”

hey said it sold 701k copies this week. Don’t be mad just because she’s more talented than you will ever be.
This dude’s trash and bad for hiphop. You can tell all the shit he does is pieced together dusty old verses that were bought somewhere.
Only decent stuff on here is owned by Dreddy Krueger who was the A&R for Think Differently projects. Not sure why M80 is trying to claim that credit.
fool, not know what he speak. Thus making him a fool.
M-Eighty has 30+ albums to his credit and was just named the VP of A&R at RBC. Dreddy who?? and where is this Dreddy now??
Was hoping for some new material. An impressive tracklisting nonetheless.
WACK ASS BULLSHIT
DOPE! DL’d this and listened to it all day. Quite a tracklisting of RAW Hip-Hop!

HAHAHAHA! Someone need a blanky and a pacifier? This dude reps HIP-HOP. Go on somewhere with that Bullshit
Matt. This isn’t me hating on your success. You rep acts I enjoy, admire, and respect. I just personally think you’re a piece of shit. Like for real, when you eventually die, I’ll take a moment to smile quietly to myself and then continue on living my life.
