yeah, not sure how I feel about that. It's like the term got carried over in the ghetto by people that don't know what a playlist is.

Posters in this thread totally missed the point of the thread.

It has nothing to do with rap, whether country is country anymore, whether country sucks or not... we all know country ain't country no more... Travis Tritt wrote a song about it.

It has to do with using the term mixed tapes. Nobody makes tapes of several different songs from different artists anymore... and no one uses that term anymore... people say playlist...

I tell my buddy, "hey... will you make a playlist for us to listen to tonight..." not "hey, will you make a mixed tape for us to listen to tonight". If people actually still used the term, like when commercials say "tune in" tonight for such and such tv show... fine.

But no one makes mixed tapes, or tapes in general, or says mixed tape. It's fricking dumb


No, some of them haven't missed the point. Maybe they just didn't explain themselves fully.

As someone's said, it's 'mixtapes', not 'mixed tapes'.

They're not talking literally about 'tapes' now. That's just a misnomer using the name for something common in the past for a CD or music file containing a mix of songs by several acts or just one performer. There's a lot of variation. I've got a big file in my mp3 collecttion for nothing but Mixtapes that I got from a DJ I worked with. They're mostly rap, some are r&b, or like the one I'm listening to right now which is a mix of Damien and Stephen Marley some DJ threw together). They're still really popular and common with some segments of society.

I don't know why country is trying to talk about mixtapes, but I've spent the past 3 days downloading just Christian hip hop mixtapes. It's just the term used for a free album you can download and often uses remixes to a larger extent.

It has more to do with you not knowing what a mixtape is.
