Every Thanksgiving / Black Friday 2016 Mixtape You Need to Hear

Last year, I was so amazed at the sheer volume of Thanksgiving and Black Friday mixtapes that I had to make a post about them. Similar to the IRL Black Friday shopping day, the deals and sales actually start earlier; this year, Gucci Mane and Boosie Badazz already had projects out on Wednesday night. Them's the breaks.

Either way, if you're done getting lit with your family, here's a look at the mixtapes and releases that dropped during our country's fattest holiday. Turn up.

rockthedub radio 035: Blanksgiving

You seen that burnt tf up turkey? That's how a good chunk of America felt post-election 2016. I had to go to bed before the results were in, but I already knew what was going down. Most of you? Devastated. We're still here, though, and instead of pouting or crying or trying to figure out the shoulda/coulda/woulda, let's spring into action. This new edition of rockthedub radio? That's me springing into action, fresh for Thanksgiving.

This mix has a bit of a slant; it's definitely political, featuring motivating material from A Tribe Called Quest, Common, and Run The Jewels, but I also had to throw in a grip of new-ish material. New cuts from Rapsody, Boogie, Dumbfoundead, and Silent Knight play the middle, mirroring thoughts without being too heavy handed, and I had to include some fresh material as well, so expect some straight-up lit material from Leaf and that new Gucci Mane x Lil Uzi Vert mixtape.

Hopefully, you're able to cope with a family member at your Thanksgiving table talking stupid shit regarding the election. If not, here's ~66 minutes of music to help you tune them out. Have at it.

Supa Qool DJ Uncle Q Give Thanks

Spotted this mix over on Rosenberg Radio, and while I'm not up on DJ Uncle Q, I love what he did here. This is a great blend of styles, something you could drop during Thanksgiving dinner and mellow out to, drinking some of that good red wine with your mom and reminiscing about laughs from the past. I'm thankful to be alive and to be spending Thanksgiving with my family. Hope you're doing the same thing, or doing something else that you enjoy.

Stealth "What I'm Thankful For"

Stealth "What I'm Thankful For": This cut just touched down in the inbox. Here are some words from the boy Stealth... "Happy Turkey Day to you and yours! I decided to do something kind of special which was record a track giving thanks to all the family and friends who have been supporting me. I also took time to shoutout the bloggers by name who have been holding me down. I'm thankful for your continued support. Hope you enjoy the track. Happy Turkey Day!". Eat up!

The Fat Boys "All You Can Eat"

The Fat Boys "All You Can Eat": You know, Thanksgiving means family, friends and being thankful for all the blessings you have in your life. It also means some bomb ass food. Headed over to my mom's house in a bit, and I'm rockin' my funky-fresh Fat Boys tee, ready to tackle what will be on my plate. I hope you can snuggle with a loved one and enjoy a great meal, whether its a McDonald's value meal or a splendid cornucopia of delights from your moms.

Kendrick Lamar ft. Rapper Big Pooh "Thanksgiving"

Kendrick Lamar ft. Rapper Big Pooh "Thanksgiving": No, this track doesn't really have anything to do with Turkey Day, but you will be thankful for this warm slice of Hip-Hop pie. Or something. Save a plate for me!

Thank Shake.

Juan Epstein (11/25/2009)

So last night, I had a dream that I was sitting in a studio with Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg, listening to them record an episode of Juan Epstein; for some reason, Peter was reciting rap lyrics with the word "nigga" in them, but saying like "nicca" and shit, which was odd. It's something he says he doesn't do, so I'm not sure why it happened in my dream. Come to your own conclusions... what's deep is, Rosenberg tweets today that they were recording a brand new episode of Juan Epstein, which hasn't had a proper episode since their live show back in June (not counting the bonus episode with Ben Lyons). It's ill, because the first episode they ever did was a Thanksgiving episode, so to have them kick the start of their third season on Turkey Day Eve is a blessing. It's another behind-the-scenes of the morning show episode, which is fun. And K. Foxx is in the building.

Enjoy!

Bonus Beats Here's the "Thanksgiving Forever" song that Rosenberg and Rico did, and has been getting a lot of play on the morning show. Shouts to Ciph.
