Mixtapes Quotes

• A good mixtape didn't just gather together a bunch of love songs, but instead created an emotional narrative specific to your affection. The stories in most of my favorite collections are collected more like songs on a mixtape than, say, collected like spare change. By which I mean they are in conversation with each other and work to become larger than their parts.

• Una mixtape es para la calle, es algo que haces sin pensar necesariamente en ello, porque tienes que seguir en el juego. Es como escribir un e-mail saludando a tus amigos.

• Making a film is like making a mixtape. You're collecting all this stuff and putting your favorite stuff into it: you have actors that you like, characters that you're interested in, moments you want to explore, themes you want to deal with, music that you want to put in. It's a pastiche of all these things that deal with how you see the world. You're just trying to make a love letter, a gift.

• [Relationships] never seem to work out, I mean it gets to the point where I have to be extremely cautious. You have to understand, this stardom thing is still new to me, I don't even consider myself "famous". It's 2008: if you have a blog, a mixtape and two pairs of skinny jeans you, too, can be 'famous'.

• I think you can see the evolution of me as an artist, and just becoming confident and coming into my own and becoming my own person throughout each mixtape. One thing I could learn from looking back at my old mixtapes, what I could learn from my old self, is just to keep that hunger and that drive and that feeling of an underdog and also the feeling of being a fan, still lookin up to people - you just want to impress them.

• The independent route was the best move for me. But I think I've maximized everything I could do independently. I've done everything out the mixtape market. I think getting the big machine behind you is the next stage when you've maximized the independent level.

• Para mí, la cultura de los DJ -con su obsesión por coleccionar discos y archivarlo todo- es anterior al concepto de "nube" con material primitivo como la mixtape. Ahora lo llamaríamos "filtrado colaborativo" o algo técnico, pero el impulso es el mismo: reunir fragmentos, hacer algo nuevo. Así es como sortearemos a los escépticos del cambio climático: dejándolos totalmente obsoletos.

• Cuando empecé con Fool's Gold y producía discos consistentes que eran como ritmos electro con rapeos experimentales y extraños. Hice una mixtape llamada Dirty South Dance en la que ponía voces de rap sobre música dance. Era literalmente un experimento. Ahora todos los raperos rapean sobre música dance. Es algo que llevo tiempo intentando construir.

• Las mixtapes son muy importantes, sobre todo para los artistas de New York o del Noreste. Te permiten ser creativo, recibir comentarios y críticas, pero sobre todo te dan a conocer. Yo diría que entre el 90 y el 100% de mi éxito se debe a las mixtapes.

• Mixtapes, it's for everyone and you throw them in the trash quickly. While an album is an object that only your real fans take the trouble to buy and know you have prepared something special.
