Mixtapes - Tumblr Posts
Nearly a decade after the mixtape wars of the mid-2000s, the format still resides in an awkward limbo for retailers, distributors, artists and labels. Many retailers stopped carrying mixtapes after the RIAA proved litigious against the sale of unofficial releases, leading police raids on several retailers in 2005 and on the offices of DJ Drama in 2007. But mixtapes remain a critical promotional tool in the industry, particularly among hip-hop artists, where they often rival official albums. Outside the purview of the major-label system, sales of the format have persisted.
Last month, a mixtape album by unsigned artist Chance the Rapper available as a free download landed at No. 63 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, having sold 1,000 copies in the week ending July 7, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The collection of original music, "Acid Rap," was sold through iTunes and Amazon, despite having been offered for free on the artist's website since April 30. After representatives of the artist claimed that the sales were being made without their knowledge or compensation, digital versions of the tape were quickly pulled from both retailers. But on Amazon, an apparently unauthorized physical version of "Acid Rap," credited to a company called "Mtc," continues to be sold at press time for $14.83.

Mad Max: Fury Road Masterpost, Part 01
If y’all have seen Mad Max: Fury Road and fell in love with the movie, swore fealty to the fandom, and are looking for Tumblr stuff to like and reblog, I’ve compiled a masterpost of everything I’ve made since the film was distributed to the viewing public. Once the home video release is out later this year, I’m hoping I’ll be able to create more cool Fury Road related posts and possibly do a second masterpost. In the meantime, enjoy looking through this catalog and may you all ride eternal, shiny and chrome, into the gates of Valhalla.
