Back in this era we used to be more excited about a Wayne mixtape than his album. Wayne was dropping mixtapes like crazy during this time. YouTube was fresh back then and being a kid in high school this was truly truly a blessing to get his full mixtape on a platform like this. Kids nowadays wouldn’t understand the hype
