Dang do none of you even know what a mixtape is? You ain't gonna just find it at the store. It's just something you will either download for free from the Internet or see being sold at your local gas station or convenient store. The peeps who make them can get away with it by just saying they were selling you the artwork and packaging and that the disc that came inside it is free. Not a bad idea really. But anyway, it's not even just something new artists do either. Established artists put out mixtapes for their fans all the time and new artists try to get on one to get noticed.
