A distinction should be drawn between a private mixtape, which is usually intended for a specific listener or private social event, and a public mixtape, or "party tape", usually consisting of a recording of a club performance by a DJ and intended to be sold to multiple individuals. In the 1970s, such DJs as Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Afrika Bambaataa and the Soulsonic Force, Kool Herc and the Herculoids, and DJ Hollywood would often distribute recordings of their club performances via audio cassette, as well as customized recordings (often prepared at exorbitant prices) for individual tape purchasers. These recordings tended to be of higher technical ability than home-made mixtapes and incorporated techniques such as beatmatching and scratching. One 12 October 1974 article in Billboard reported, "Tapes were originally dubbed by jockeys to serve as standbys for times when they did not have disco turntables to hand. The tapes represent each jockey's concept of programming, placing, and sequencing of record sides. The music is heard without interruption. One- to three-hour programs bring anywhere from $30 to $75 per tape, mostly reel-to-reel, but increasingly on cartridge and cassette." Club proprietors, as well as DJs, would often prepare such tapes for sale.
Throughout the 1980s, mixtapes were a highly visible element of youth culture. However, the increased availability of CD burners and MP3 players and the gradual disappearance of cassette players in cars and households have led to a decline in the popularity of the compact audio cassette as a medium for homemade mixes. The high point of traditional mixtape culture was arguably the publication of Nick Hornby's novel High Fidelity in 1995. Since then, mixtapes have largely been replaced by mix CDs and shared MP3 playlists, which are more durable, can hold more songs, and require minutes (rather than hours) to prepare.

In hip hop's earliest days, the music only existed in live form. Performers' music was spread via tapes of parties and shows. Hip hop mixtapes first appeared in the mid-1970s in New York City, featuring artists such as Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa.[7]
In the mid-1980s, DJs, such as Brucie B, began recording their live music and selling them as mixtapes, which was soon followed by other DJs, like Kid Capri and Doo Wop. Ron G moved the mixtape forward in the early 1990s by blending R&B a cappellas with hip hop beats (known as "blends").[7] Blend tapes were developed to promote one or more new artists, or as a pre-release by more established artists to promote upcoming "official" albums. Often, mixtapes contain "freestyles" with vocals placed over the instrumentals of a preexisting song.[8]
Early 2000's In the 21st century, mixtapes in hip hop are typically released as holdovers or low-key releases between studio albums. Underground or unsigned artists typically release them free online on websites such as SoundCloud, LiveMixtapes, or HotNewHipHop, while prominent industry artists may release "commercial mixtapes" on streaming services. Notable examples include Street Gossip by Lil Baby, MMM (Money Making Mitch) by Puff Daddy, If You're Reading This It's Too Late by Drake.[9]
You don't BUY a mixtape, its a legally released free album esentially and its a huge part of the rap/hip-hop community, by ignoring mixtapes you're pretty much ignoring that genre because of how much music is put out this way. Also, why is this the second time that i've seen a response telling the PAYING customers to go talk to the artist about it. WTF, spotify has employees for a reason, thats not my responsibility
There are PLENTY mixtapes on Spotify. Kevin Gates= stranger than fiction. Lil durk= 300 days 300 nights, signed to the streets 1&2. Moneybagg yo = federal 3x. I'm not sure how it works but they are on there

So I have a very frustrating problem on my hands. I have been an avid iTunes user for the past 5-6 years. With the recent update to an Apple music focused iTunes (8.0) I have come across several problems that are making my iTunes experience less than pleasant. The largest of these problems is the inability to add music that comes from online (mostly mixtapes of the like of the most recent Chance the Rapper/ Lil B Freestyles and mixes from my favorite dj collective and label Soulection), to my iPhone. I have tried creating new playlists and syncing from there and I get a message saying that I can only have playlists that allow for iTunes match. I have tried the right click/ add to device path and that does not work either. I have even tried removing the playlists and starting from scratch to no avail. I can not add things like mixtapes that are not on iTunes match to my iPhone. This is incredibly frustrating because in my field of Djing and reviewing I need to be able to listen to all of the mixtapes that I have downloaded and as of now with the new Apple Music update iTunes is not letting me add these mixes and albums to my phone. Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Here's hoping Apple changes their policy because at this rate they are going to force Djs by the hundreds off of iTunes because of its current inability to interact with mixtapes and other music downloaded from the internet.
When I say mixtape I am merely referring to an album released by an artist under their own supervision separate from a distributer (and sometimes a label) and made available via online downloading (datpiff, megashare, utorrent bundles, bandcamp etc.). These mixtapes are not recognized by the iTunes match database because they do not exist inside of iTunes. This is where I believe my problem to be stemming from because prior to the Apple Music update and the forced use of iTunes match and (practically) Apple Music, I had no problems adding my mixtapes that I had acquired through the years to my iphone via playlists. I am trying to find a solution that will allow me to use the new iTunes like the older (better) iTunes while also allowing me to use the features of Apple Music that i enjoy (discovery, custom playlists, large database, offline downloads etc.).
All this talk about Daft Punk made me remember this amazing Derrick Carter mixtape I had long ago. Well upon my search to be reunited with it, I came across this treasure trove of uploaded mixtapes from a bygone era.
Hell yeah - I found rave archive some years back (DJ Pleasurehead, woowoo!) and come back to it from time to time when I remember. The interface is nice and modern now. It used to be a little clunky. Huge resource of mixtapes and live stuff going way back to my rave days. This other site ravetapepacks looks just as good for UK-based stuff. Thanks for sharing!
Calvin Johnson is the founder of the influential Olympia, Washington-based record label K Records since 1982. He has been in many great bands, such as Beat Happening and The Go Team. He is also an amazing DJ, and over the years has compiled this collection of mixtapes, hand-labeled by Calvin himself, each organized by genre. Every single one is excellent, trust us!!
Ultimately, mixtapes had their run, but silently went in the night rather than out with a bang. Maybe as vinyl records have had a modern resurgence, we could see the medium make a return. But until platforms and labels loosen their grip on samples, and artists have easier ways to self-promote, mixtapes can stay as a past icon of the rap genre.
Making mixtapes is one of my favorite things to do. I love trying to think of a theme and finding the requisite songs to flesh out that idea. My inspiration for this playlist was soundtracking a late-night drive or a rooftop hangout (socially distanced!) in Brooklyn. 0852c4b9a8
