Every other week, there is Twitter banter of who had the greatest mixtape run. Wayne is always in the top rank, if not THEE top. Mixtapes were a moment in time as an example of 'you just had to be there'. No need for sample clearances. No censorship. Just bars and music. Rap beefs, new music, everything. This was a time where, arguably, a hot mixtape was more influential to the Hip Hop culture than having a hot album.
Lil' Wayne, DJ Clue, Jadakiss, DJ Drama, 2 Chainz, N.O.R.E, KRS-One, Angie Martinez, Mike Tyson, Fabolous, Tony Touch, Funkmaster Flex and many more share their personal experiences and insight on the mixtape subculture. Paramount+ presents us a documentary diving into the origin and story of the movement that broke the industry.
Watch the trailer after the jump!
Streaming exclusively on Paramount+... August 1, 2023.
