I was 8 years old when Drake dropped this so I wouldn’t have known if there’s official CDs/Vinyls out there that are Drake’s. Does anyone know if there’s one’s out there?
I love the sound on So Far Gone, it has that perfect late night feeling in a lot of the tracks. Does anyone know of very similar sounding music?
I've been searching for a high quality version of the mixtape but nothing seems to be above 192kpbs. Some people said that there was a 256kpbs version on iTunes at some point but it's not there anymore. If anyone could link me to a higher quality version of the mixtape, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
I'm just saying because everyone mainstream loved "Thank Me Later" but in my opinion "So Far Gone" was a mixtape that influenced hip hop as a genre with it's topics and feel. I mean Diddy didn't start rapping about his feeling (and Paris) till after Drizzy got mainstream.
What do you think?

10 years ago Drake dropped his breakout mixtape "So Far Gone".
The tape featured hits such as "Best I Ever Had" and "Successful" with Lil Wayne and Trey Songz.
So Far Gone featured some of Drake's softer singing side on songs such as the the prior mentioned "Best I Ever Had", "Houstatlantvegas", and "November 18th", as well as showcasing his ability to spit on songs like "Ignant Shit" with Lil Wayne, the Kanye West inspired "Say Whats Real", and "Uptown" with Wayne and Bun B.
The tape was released later in 2009 as a commercial EP with new songs such as "I'm Goin In" with Wayne and Jeezy and "Fear".
The mixtape and EP launched Drake into stardom and helped to make him a household name.

Haven't played survivor yet, but played a good amount of killer yesterday. Rank 5 Huntress, played most of my games at or roughly around peak hours, NA East (not sure if that matters in this game).
BEFORE SBMM: I'd play a good amount of games where I'd absolutely decimate a team where only one or two survivors have broken the 10k bp mark (usually feel bad and let them all escape). Also would have some games versus highly competitive teams and get completely waxed. But the majority of my games where matches where the survivors were good players, but I always felt in control of the game. I'd ignore the kid who's dead on hook because I didn't need to kill them yet, I was winning. Wasn't hard to go on long streaks without an escape aside from hatch/keys, or me being friendly.
WITH SBMM: It's still early, but I was surprised at the immediate change I felt in the lobbies I was getting. The games I played yesterday felt close to 50/50, where a few plays down the stretch won the game for myself or the survivors. I haven't felt like I'm in complete control after one/two hooks, and I've had multiple two man escapes through exit gates. That used to be RARE. Used to be 1/4 lobbies felt competitive, now it seems like I'm playing evenly ranked survivors almost every game.
Curious how others experience is? Drop your rank and any other info needed for a baseline
I have always had rly bad anxiety in competitive environments, when i competed judo and football and even now when I play ranked. I was always scared of being in an elo I dont want to be, silver and bellow. But I have now put in around 26 games in ranked and Im happy with how Im doing, currently silver 2 with a 66% wr and a 83% wr on my evelynn (my main). I dont mind taking it slow, I play around 2-3 ranked games per day which gets me about one rank higher each day, or if I skip ranks then 2.
I just wanted to share this coz its been a problem I have had for a while and Im rly happy to have finally started working on it.
