Now I've put together I list of songs (see the next post). I wanna keep a good variety of artists and content. I'm looking for songs that I might have missed, advice on songs selection (for example, for Royce Da 5'9", "My Life" or "King Of Kings" or which track from Enta Da Stage). And even track order (which would be a good song to finish, to start, etc.) Pretty much any input.

those are some weird mixtapes. u got some selections that dont really fit with each other. i dont see how xzibit year 2000 would fit on mixtape one side A. i mean you have some sick songs, but you need to re-arrange them better.
-
Ive made like 5489564 mixtapes in my life....It makes no sense to me anymore. My friends at school would buy them-- thats it. I made like $30 out of all the mixtapes I sold.

Man, you're fuckin' weird, why approach making a mixtape like it's a fucking mathematical equation? "Every Two Years, I decide by cross-referencing the sales along with a listenability number I assign by first rating the song on first listen, then rating the song approx. 2 weeks later on my Bose sound system in my car. If the rating of the original listen is higher than the rating of the Bose Test, I decide to place said song into category C. Category C has slight preference over Categories A, B, E-G, with each being weighted in alpha-numeric order, starting with Z, to make it fair"

Are you retarded or something?
It's called variety. Maybe I don't want 15 mixtapes with all the same shit on it.
