This Aint No Mixtape, PT 1&2, Weekend at Burnies, Covert Coupe (and so many albums from other artists of that era) were the soundtrack to my very early 20's. It was a special time in hip hop (one of the last hip hop renaissances IMO) and in my life. I remember the summer of 2010 when PT dropped like it was yesterday. Everything from the parties, the weed, the weather to the fashion (lots of Diamond Supply haha). GOOD TIMES

[@IndependentThinker2020]

My favorite rapper. I was in 10th grade in 2010. Dude saved me. 🤙🏾

Same here. 10th grade too! OG showed me what being cool looks like and feels like 💯

[@DynastySkateTeam23]

Same here man 10th grade 2010, I jammed to features before then like “Grown man” and “where the cash at” but the 10th grade year put me on game and the real shoe game was introduced to me 🤙🏿

[@biglordebunnyrabbit627]

[@PapiGrande1]

This 1 of the best interviews I seen from Spitta, shit was nostalgic. Good shit bro.

[@sixse7en669]

Spitta is my favorite rapper EVER. I was fortunate to catch on early. So from his 1st shows in Houston he showed so much love. He gave me weed several times, edibles, even signed my jordan 3s. I remember I snuck backstage at his show. Man he made me feel like a celebrity. He yelled so loud when he seen me in a room full of big names from the city every one just looked at me and he came to give me dap. Salute to the OG and ill forever support anything he does. 🛩🤙🏿

Been a fan since 2012 when I first heard Blown Away and On My Plane from This Ain't No Mixtape when I was in Paris. One of my favorite rappers to date. Can't name many others that have been as consistent as he has. Also inspirational how he stayed true to himself and left Cash Money
