Mixtape Madness: The Break Up

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

"Baby Don't Go" — Fabalous ft. T-Pain Watch & Listen to it Here 

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

Stage 3: Anger

"Down River" — M.I.A. listen to it here 

"Chain Of Fools" — Aretha Franklin Listen to it Here 

Stage 4:Despair

"Lonely Avenue" — Ray Charles Listen to it Here

"Drown In My Own Tears" — Ray Charles Listen to it Here

Stage 5: Acceptance

"Stop the Music" — (Featuring Scribe) P Money Listen to it Here

"Say Hello" — Jay z

pissed and bitter

no i don't think it is. Actually I am adding this song to my playlist "I'm still pissed and bitter and I hope you fail"

Not2Taem's picture

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.

Tex's picture

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.  Wink

Laniaya Alesia's picture

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.
