Worst Mixtape Ever Circa 2001
While recently visiting my childhood home, I happened upon a few old mixtapes I put together back around high school. I threw them in my bag on my way out thinking “Oh what fun it’ll be to rediscover young April’s musical taste!” WRONG, unless you honestly do enjoy badly mixed, highly cliche, helter skelter mixtapes. Please share with me in my shame.

What’s the worst song you included on your mixtapes of youth? I’d say that for this particular round, I am definitely not proud of Scooter’s “I’m Raving.” At least half of these songs I still enjoy, even if mostly driven by nostalgia. And most of the older music videos= WOW.
