This mixtape shit is officially getting too confusing to keep up with. The Darkside Vol. 1 was Fat Joe's most recent official album, but here we have The Darkside Vol. 2 which is a mixtape. This is a bad precedent. Titling your mixtapes in sequel fashion is entirely welcome - it helps fans quickly identify the release as official or boot - but blurring the lines between the two is an undesirable development. Aw, fuck it, "Dopeman" (not an NWA cover) is a great fucking song regardless of dubious marketing. No idea what the individual Beatle references are all about, nor why Ringo Starr is the only one omitted.
