Hi!

We have a problem currently with rap mixtapes, since they're not
really compilations, but they're not really standard albums either;
they tend to include new music, sometimes but not always over re-used
beats, and to not be included in a standard "discography list" (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lil_Wayne_discography for example where
they are separated from the studio albums). I think it would make
sense to have "mixtape" as an RG subtype, but I admit I'm worried of
it getting used by people not used to hip hop in the old, "bunch of
songs" compilation meaning. Does anyone have any better ideas though?
(right now MB users seem to be divided on adding them as albums or
compilations)
