on a side note i revisited If You're Reading This today and it's still one of the best rap albums/tapes (however you wanna tag it) of the year.

If You're Reading This is up for the Polaris prize, isn't it?
It's an album. It's not hosted, or sponsored by a ton of backdoor distribution companies. It's got a physical release, which topped the Billboard album charts. It will probably be up for a Grammy. And it's really really fucking good and consistent, while most mixtapes have more of a "grabbag" feel to them.
But yeah, I agree it's one of the year's best. I think you're right that it's the original scrapped version of Views From The 6. I mean that explains a lot. I'll bet we'd have a final VFT6 album by now if the "mixtape" hadn't been so successful.
