I know it has been a while since I did a mixtape for Vp, and I guess I really don’t have a good reason as to why I stopped. My mixtapes are all about inspiration and I have plenty of it now... I decided to share the music I listened to while I was getting over my first big love and relationship. This is The Break Up Mix.
In the age of technology it can be twice as hard for someone in my generation. I decided after watching her twitter updates, facebook statuses, and numerous pictures being posted across the web, to all out delete this person from my Internet life. I was pissed, angry as hell, and lonely. But like all things I turned to my friends and my music.
I like to think this mixtape represents my stages of grief. I hope you enjoy it, and share your your break up mix.
Stage 1: Denial
"I'll Never Be Free" — Ella Fitzgerald with Louis Jordan
"Over and Over" — Nelly
"Baby I Love You" — Aretha Franklin
Stage 2: Bargaining

Fabolous has one thing right; love will have you wide open and acting a straight fool for no reason.

"Chain Of Fools" — Aretha Franklin Listen to it Here
Stage 4:Despair

@kdhales
Fine?
You know how they fine the network if you say fuck on TV, does it count if its in a song? Random dorky rumination.
Nice clip, by the way.
Evidently not...
I had to change the youtube vid cause the vid with the 'eff' word and 'going down on you in the theater' at the 50th emmy awards vid stopped in the middle. I'll try it again here so your comment makes sense....

Nice mix. I love break up mixes. There are two times when I have crazy focus on music: falling in love and breaking up. Make sure to throw 99 Problems in there at the end. Bitches ain't shit.

Yeah every chance my friends
Yeah every chance my friends got they played 99 problems and a couple others. I think out of all the mixes I mad for this beak up this is the mildest one.
