So I was at my desk with an old black and white, cow-patterned composite notebook open with a list of all the songs I wanted on Hyped ’92 staring me in the face. What does this have to do with ‘Be Like Mike’? I’m almost there. My nickname in middle school was ‘Finx’ and since DJs put together miscellaneous songs on mixes I thought it would be clever to smash them together for my DJ name. I left out the part where I called myself DJ Finxelaneous because, frankly, it’s an embarrassing thing to admit. I mowed lawns for five months to buy it and there I was, about to put the finishing touches on my masterpiece of a mix tape that I would proudly label, ‘ Hyped ‘92 – DJ Finxelaneous’. I’m fourteen-years-old and I’m making my fifteenth and final mix tape of the year on my JVC dual-cassette, ‘Super-Bass Horn’ boom box with metallic gray trim, mustard lettering and the ultimate early 90s flex move, a CD player on top with a tiny digital screen that could only display three things: play, pause and skip.
