I'M NOT GON ELABORATE TOO MUCH, BUT MIXTAPES ARE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS OF THIS HIP HOP SHIT....FOR ANY ARTIST ON ANY LEVEL.
JUST ASK, ANY EAST COAST RAPPER,LIL WAYNE, T.I.P., YOUNG JEEZY, RICK ROSS, KANYE WEST, SNOOP DOGG, MR. FAB, ALL OF HOUSTON & DALLAS RAPPERS, I COULD GO ON FOREVER.......HOW INTEGRAL MIXTAPES ARE IN THEIR OPERATION AND I BETCHA IT'S UP THERE
NOT TO MANY MID-WEST ARTIST UNDERSTAND MIXTAPES AND THEIR IMPORTANCE....CAN'T BLAME 'EM THOUGH, IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT MARKET
IF TECH DID A MIXTAPE PROPERLY, I THINK IT WOULD HELP HIM GET SOME OF HIS OLD FANS BAKC.
ALSO MIXTAPES OR STREET ALBUM DON'T HAVE TO BE ALL OTHER PEOPLES BEATS, IT'S GOOD TO HAVE AT LEAST 5 OR 6 ORIGINAL TRACKS AS A MINIMUM.
***JACKIN BEATS AND PUTTIN THEM TOGETHER ON A CD IS NOT A MIXTAPE EITHER IF NOT DONE PROPERLY.... IT'S A DEMO! THATS WHAT PEOPLE USE TO DO IN THE 80'S............
THAT'S MY 2 CENTS, OH YEAH I'M A KANSAS CITY MIXTAPE KING TOO...
