Lastly, we have New York's DJ Neil Armstrong's Sweeet 3 Mix. The mixtape touches on the hip hop culture of ten years ago when times were just a little different. In speaking with Hypetrak, Armstrong said,
"Sweeet Part 3 was finished last December 2012 and only came out as part of the 10 year anniversarySweeet BoxSet. I made Sweeet back in 2002, when the musical landscape was vastly different from today's crazy itunes/spotify/pandora culture. Keep it real in a time when hip-hop heads were listening to maybe... Def Jux ,mad lib or Wu Tang . Commercial hip-hop folk were listening to DMX.If you listened to Wu-Tang, you sure as hell didn't admit that you listened to Morissey, even if you did. So making something like Sweeet back then, especially with my background as a turntablist was different. Sweeet Part 3 was made to celebrate a 10-year old classic."
