DVD Spotlight: Mixtape Inc

Tuesday June 5, 2007

Mixtape Inc. is a riveting look at the underground world of 'illegal' hip-hop compilations. Some of the biggest players in the league weigh in on the RIAA's anti-mixtape campaign, the love/hate relationship between record companies and mixtape DJs, as well the true essence of this undying element of hip-hop culture. As DJ Ty Boogie rightly notes in the video, "all the hot DJs are fat and chubby." But that's all about to change, with the RIAA constantly breathing down the neck of industry tastemakers. The financial stakes have never been higher for corporate DJs.

Topics Covered:
  • -The origin of mixtapes
  • -The Evolution of mixtapes
  • -What's next for the mixtape world?
Some Artists Interviewed:
  • Chuck D
  • DJ Clue
  • DJ Kay Slay
  • Kanye West
  • Fabolous
  • Danger Mouse
