1. J. Cole "Friday Night Lights" is JerkishBehavior's choice for 2010 Mixtape of the year because it had all the elements of a classic tape from the non-stop quotables, mad replay value, great original tracks, and varied real life subject matter ala an actual album rather than a mixtape. J.Cole continues to show the world that he is the next great with "Friday Night Lights" as we await his debut album.
Best songs: "Farewell", "See World", & "Before I'm Gone"
Quotable: "My eyes lit while I think about my childhood now/I'm blanking out those were truly my best days/ The only thing I had to stress was how the hell to get laid/
Gradually turn into me stressin’ how the hell to get paid/Been making songs so long, now how the hell they get played/ ok, I’m blowing up quickly" Farewell
2. Fabolous "There Is No Competition 2: Funeral Service" dropped way back in Feb 2010 and stood the test of time throughout 2010 with punchlines for days, several songs that became radio hits, and of course the infamous catchphrase "Niceeee".

4. Joe Budden "Mood Musik 4: A Turn 4 The Worst " sees Jumpoff Joe Beezy return to his roots and gives us another installment of "Are You In That Mood yet" which doesn't disappoint this time around with the more uptempo, hard-hitting beats and of course the always potent lyrical metaphors that he his known plus his various partners in crime to raise the level of competition.

5. B.O.B. "No Genre" just recently dropped and it was so good that it overtook two other pretty good mixtapes for this spot because B.O.B. just knows how to make good music no matter what the genre. "No Genre" has multiple bangers that you can't take off repeat because its just crack music, so addictive.

Honorable Mention:
Game "Brake Lights" is really 5B on the list with it being one of the best produced mixtapes in 2010 and had a ton of album quality cuts on here just given away for free plus he kept the name-dropping to a minimum, very impressive.

Big K.R.I.T. "KRIT Wuz here" was the sleeper mixtape of the year and was named mixtape of the year by HiphopDx.com with surprisingly top-notch production in which K.R.I.T. did himself and several bangers that will leave you pleasantly surprised/impressed by the Mississippi rookie.
