Mixtapes are very personal, and they describe who you are better than an album sometimes.
There were times when I was just listening to albums for the hype of it. Some albums, I would just put it on in my car, and me and my friends would just drive, that we'd wild out to, get arrested to.
The first time I really listened to an album and thought, This album is mine, was Kanyes Late Registration.
The second album is the hardest to write. Its nothing like the first album.
