#MixtapeMemory dubbed from @jperiodbk ・・・ It’s hard to explain what these mixtapes have meant for me. For years we hustled CDs on Canal St to make our names, grew our names into brands, and our brands into businesses. When business went global, mixtapes became our passports. These little CDs took us around the world, turned icons into friends, and wrote us—US—into the story of Hip Hop. If you were wise, you paid respect to the artists and the culture that birthed us. If you were lucky, you dodged the snakes. And if you were dope, you never gave up on your dream. Half the battle was surviving. (Half the battle is always surviving.) The other half was making art that survives. These tapes are my time capsules. They hold a piece of history, including my own. The world has moved on from hustling CDs on Canal St, but the music on these tapes is timeless. Starting tomorrow, we retrofit these rockets for the future, to ensure their survival... Welcome to the world of streaming, Little Ones.... Patience... One at a time... Everyone will get their turn... 🚀

Dubbed from @315nelsongeorge 315nelsongeorge ・・・ In the November 3, 1979 issue of @billboard, when I was a college intern at the magazine, I co-wrote this early piece with the magazine's disco editor, since rap records were then viewed as an outgrowth of disco. This piece, and many other historical items, can be found in #thenelsongeorgemixtape available for $28 via www.pacificpacific.pub. #hiphop #musicjournalism

Dubbed from @toniblackman ・・・ Cassettes? Remember when? Some cyphers were recorded this way. Maybe I’ll get it digitized before the Freestyle Union Reunion Anniversary Dec 13th 7pm at The REACH - Kennedy Center. #FreestyleUnion #FreestyleRap #CypherWorkshop #hiphop #hiphopculture #artofemceeing #lyricism

Spliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! Dubbed from @jathompso ・・・ #tapetuesday requiring surgery today. Broke a razor blade prying open the mid-70s cassette shell. Tape had snapped. Re-spliced, re-housed, all good now! 😎 🎶 #cassette #audiopreservation #analogaudio #nakamichi
