I posted this picture for a reason, in all the hype that is an awards show there is still the essense of the mixtape that needs to be celebrated. Even though there are obvious winners and losers there is the fact that we can even come together and put out music to the public without all the label red tape bullshit politics. I still urg people to be more creative in bringing forth a mixtape to the public because only we can keep our music and culture alive. Thanks Legend.

[Shout to Dub Floyd for bringing home Rookie of the Year, its going to be big year big homie.]
