There s a battle brewing with the Mixtape DJs Performers Retailers and Buyers on one side and the multi-billion dollar record labels and copyright infringement authorities (RIAA) on the other. Mixtapes have become an important and hot part of the Hip-Hop culture revolutionized the Hip-Hop music industry and changed the way we hear and buy Hip-Hop music. The financial stakes are extremely high. These entrepreneurial compilations are now the root of a new power struggle the urban streets of America vs. the traditional corporate music industry.

Customer Rating: Summary: CONTAINS VERY "DATED" FOOTAGE Comment: A few years ago, I copped a DVD titled "Mixtape Inc. (The Movie: The Outtakes)" that was basically a very long "trailer" for this DVD. While the "trailer" show cased some of the biggest names in the game and looked to be very insightful - there was one major problem: a lot of the footage they used was already outdated. For example, KANYE WEST can be seen talking about the various ways he picks up women with the images he portrays on the covers of his mixtapes...when was the last time KANYE put out a mixtape? "Kon The Louie Vuitton Don" came out before "The College Dropout," so we're talkin' at least 4 years!
All in all, this DVD is worth the money...but I can't help but feel as if the idea may have (originally) been trashed (or "shelved") only to finally see a release date solely due to the recent industry controversy over mixtapes (and the arrests of DJs DRAMA & DON CANNON).
