Coz theres about 3 grime tunes on there!
To show a newcomer about grime you dont really wanna give them a hip hop cd

[Quality Control]

2000 & Life is hip-hop like Ghetto Gospel, but it's a much better mixtape.

only about half of Ghetto Gospel is decent enough that i can stand to listen to over 20 seconds of it
