i've been SUPER obsessed with XG and i adore their XG tape series, in which their rap members do solos or unit performances on existing beats with new lyrics, and the name had me going... why don't i put these on a tape? so i did that! and i ended up putting it on a mini disc too just to use my new sticker paper. i messed up the label a little but for my first go i'm pretty happy with it.

circa 2001. I don't know how many of these survived, but when I had time, I'd make tapes from the station's CDs on their pre-recording equipment. (I mean, I did my work, too!) Since I was using professional equipment, the transitions are seamless and a little too good. I put it in my little player, hit play, sat down, and had forgotten it was a cassette within three songs. ^^;;

(I'm not sure whether or not to be impressed that at least a couple of my picks at the time are still radio staples.)

Doofy angles to hide the station's callsign.
