He lived inside of his tour bus like a monk in a monastery, recording new tracks daily. If “A Milli” sounds like egoistic brain vomit from a dude on cloud nine, it’s probably ’cause it was.
Besides the fact A Milli, at 49, is severely underrated, along with the entire Tha Carter III, the list isn’t bad. What stands out most to me is how many of his best tracks weren’t even officially released on albums, but free mixtapes.
