About
Check out My Mixtape and Check out My Mixtape Fam are phrases used in social media sites like twitter to mock the instrusiveness, as well as the quality of the music of artists (commonly rappers) asking people to listen to their music, which is normally compiled in a mixtape[1] format.
The phrase is normally followed with images of a person being intrusive and annoying towards others.
Another popular phrase is My Mixtape is Fire (fire being used to refer to someone rapping) which is followed by images of literal fires in different context.
