Hip hop mixtapes first appeared in the mid-1970s in New York City, featuring artists such as Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa.

There’s a timeless quality to the project, one that keeps its influence from fading and each play as absorbed as the last.In hip hop's earliest days, the music only existed in live form, and the music was spread via tapes of parties and shows. Young Jeezy - Let's Get It - Thug Motivation 101 (. Listening to Let’s Get It: Thug Motiviation 101 isn’t nostalgic. Then Jeezy’s solo efforts like “My Hood,” “Bottom of the Map,” “Air Forces,” “Trap Star,” “Let’s Get It/Sky’s The Limit” - every song needs its own space. and Lil’ Scrappy on a Jazzy Pha beat, still shining from Black Album Jay Z, Akon’s first major feature. It’s insane: post-Cash Money Mannie Fresh, early solo Bun B, T.I. Urban Legend continued T.I.’s shoot-for-the-singles style in the best way, and Who Is Mike Jones? – a very underrated album – rose to #40 on the charts on the back of “Still Tippin’.” But both pale by comparison. The Massacre fell off and took 50 with it.

If you were near a radio 10 years ago, you heard “Soul Survivor,” and you recognized the raspy drawl. The seminal work for the Atlanta rapper was honored with a sold-out anniversary concert and critic re-praise, forums reopened debates of its importance, and the aura of 2005 crept back in the room it built.
