HEY!!! I got a "MIXTAPE" too! I just downloaded a bunch of mainstream people's instrumentals and rapped over them! It's gonna be fuckin' dope man and I'm gonna blow up off this shit just like 50 Cent did! And I didn't even have a real DJ mix the shit or nothin'!
I'm so fresh.

Since when did just rappin' over somebody else's beats make your shit a "mixtape?" It's an album....or a compilaton plain and simple. The fact that you're broke and can't afford decent beats from hot producers doesn't give people the right to call what they're doing a "mixtape."
That's like have a bicycle and tryin' to call it a motorcycle. Your bicycle can't be a MOTORcycle because it's lackin' a very fundamental thing.....A MOTOR! Just like if your so-called mixtape isn't MIXED by a DJ then it's not a MIXtape now is it?
People have got the game fucked up all over the place. This stupid-ass argument goes in the same category as the loosely used "PRODUCER" term nowadays. It's a bunch of ignorant kids who get the shit twisted and then it gets passed on and perpetuated by a bunch of other don't knows. Listen to your elders and people that have been in the game for a long time...I'm here to set the record straight. Even if it is futile at this point.

Any album full of material that you don't refer to as an LP, can fairly be called a mixtape. That is the standard. A few songs = Sampler/Single. 4-8 songs = Demo/EP. 9-12+ songs = Mixtape.
Its like I heard a comedian say: "Whats with Warehouses? You don't wear it...and it ain't a house!" (works better if you say it out loud, not read it). -- Same basic principle. It doesn't need to be mixed, or a tape, to be a mixtape. Mixtape is now the universal term for any collection of songs, typically by one artist/group, that is not referred to as an album/LP.
Its an Album-Mixtape, but that is too long, so it is shortened to Mixtape, not because the artists themselves are stupid, but because fans are idiots and would likely refer to this Album-Mixtape as a "debut album", rather than what it is: an Album-Mixtape.
Remember how JT put out Game's Album a year or so ago, and you had the Aftermath PR staff in full effect, scrambling, trying to label and discredit it as "a Mixtape"? Same thing.

If anyone is wondering what was edited out of my post, Go on Myspace and track down Kalyn. The picture I posted is right there, for all to see, sans password or any other factor other than signing up for an account.
Appartently, she thinks that posting her personal/professional e-mail address is a good idea, but having her picture posted is not. (Also, D-Sane, has set the precident that to have your picture removed, you simply have to ask. We'll see how this goes the next time we have a "HAHAHA!! LOOK AT THAT GEEK MOTHERFUCKER!" slash Photoshop Frenzy thread.)
She also, I would gather, hates compliments. From now on, to be safe, you should rip on her instead. You should mention her age and apparent 5-head often.
This is all.
