The thing that’s missing in music that was present is the sense of ownership. Buying a tape or a cd, you had a sense of “yeah this is my shit” Even if someone gave you their maxell tape that they dubbed you still had to take care of the tape. Not like a mp3 where its just there, you can’t hold the mp3. You don’t have to take a screwdriver and open up a mp3 because it got fuq’d up in the tape deck and you REALLY need to hear that song.
In the cassette days there would be two questions you heard when someone copped a new album. You like that shit? and what you think is better Side B or Side A.
In my experiences it always seems like Side A is better because people usually try to push the best joints in the beginning. I’m the type to treat the mixtape organically, the Side A was more uptempo with the flow and the beats and I took it slow and had more laid back topics during the second half until I reached UFOA with a killer flow IMO lol.
