mixtape

A homemade music compilation (usually on cassette or CD-R) that contains all your favourite tracks. Often you give such a compilation to the guy or gal of your fancy in hopes that it will help you win their heart.

There's no way that girl can say no, I made her the greatest mixtape ever!

mixtape

An "underground" CD that has instrumentals already used by some artists, so the MC in the mixtape raps over these beats to show that they can rap better than the original artists. In these mixtapes there´s also annoying DJs yelling all over the tracks. It´s excellent for upcoming MCs that need to be heard, and for mainstream artists to "keep it gangsta".

Omar Cruz just got signed to Interscope because of his mixtapes.

mixtape

mixtape

what rock, hip-hop and serious pop artists release for real music fans, unlike the pop shit they release in Top40 singles and albums.

Nickleback's new mixtape is what post-grunge and heavy metal is supposed to be like!
