street tape


relics from the early days of hip-hop: physical c-ssette “mixtapes” rappers would give on the street away for free (rarely sell) to anyone willing. if it was good, people would give homemade copies to friends.

can also refer to bootleg compilations and bootleg live rap show recordings.

some of these curbside rappers tapes made it big: bone thugs “faces of death”, afroman “my fro-losophy”, eazy-e “boyz-n-the-hood 86′ / dopeman”, many granfmaster flash & the furious five live bootlegs etc.
“those aren’t homeless people, grandma; those are aspiring rappers peddling their street tapes.”

“you ever hear the kendrick street tape from when he was a kid? ‘youngest head n-gg- in charge (hub city threat: minor of the year)’?”
