After it was announced that Kanye West would be coming to Glendale, I spent some time on his blog, an odd blend of videos, fashion, furniture and shoes.

It warmed my mid-90s hip-hop heart to see him post the video for the Nonce jam Mix Tapes, which I posted about in December 2005.

This is, without question, one of the top 10 hip-hop joints of the ’90s.

“And those were the dues / without makin’ papes / damn I should go back / to sellin’ mix tapes.”
