Before Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube, there were mixtapes.
If you were around back then, you already know. Mixtapes weren’t just music. They were the heartbeat of the streets. They let you know who was coming up before radio or labels had a clue. No PR machine. No playlist plug. Just pure hustle from the artists behind those mixtapes.
This documentary showcases it all, from Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, DJ Drama, Kid Capri, even Shag. It’ll discuss how mixtapes went from hand-to-hand burners to the creative and financial backbone of hip-hop. It gets into the real stuff too from DJ Drama getting raided, artists getting boxed out, and the industry trying to catch up.
It contains 30 years of history people weren’t aware of. If you were outside during that era, this documentary is going to be good. If not? It’ll show you where the foundation for half the hype today came from.
