Gonna repost here what I posted on the chatbox: Kid Capri 12-17 - thanks for the tapes with the dates as titles! I gotta ask though: Is this really a Kid Capri tape? Some years ago I listened to a lot of Kid Capri interviews and if I remember correctly, he stated that his last street mixtape was his 12-3-91 (doo wop diss) tape. But of course it's possible that 25, 30 years later he simply forgot that he dropped another one 14 days later (and the 12-17 tape you posted is clearly a late 1991 tape). Problem is he rarely talked on his tapes so this easily recognizable marker is missing to identify quickly if it's his tape. But it's a great tape, so it's probably a Kid Capri tape. I recommend his latest interview on Kenny Parker's youtube channel, where he goes into some detail of his tape era: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIJk3z79pCk. There's lots of good interviews on Kenny Parker's shows and there's a few good interviews by Doo Wop on various channels that give great insights in mixtape culture in 90's NYC.
Word I was listening to 12/17 a few days ago I don’t think it’s a KC tape? You can hear other dj’s tlking but it’s not Kid Capri. I re named my joint untitled. Dope Tape
