Smooth and unhurried, Khalifa rarely emotes anything other than hilarious stoner machismo. Taylor Allderdice is the perfect mixtape for smoking in the summer. "The mistake I made on Rolling Papers was thinking it was time to move on from that genre." "When I made Kush and Orange Juice, I listened to it and knew I had created a genre that would change music," Khalifa wrote to fans.
What may be Wiz Khalifa's last great stoner mixtape, Taylor Allderdice served as an apology letter to fans disappointed by Rolling Paper's pop-rap commercialism. In the following year, the emcee turned down a $3 million record deal from Jay-Z's Roc Nation and lost a close friend and collaborator to suicide. When 17-year-old Jo-Vaughn Scott, AKA Joey Bada$, surprised the masses with the now-iconic mixtape 1999, fans of the budding New York emcee had already painted him as one of the greatest lyricists of 2012. Here are a few of the greatest mixtapes of summers past, in the hopes it will bring back the fond memories that, right now, may feel distant.

To help unwind in these times of heightened anxiety, it helps to revisit some of the mixtapes that brought us childhood bliss, that pumped us up when school dismissed for summer, that blasted through our car speakers as we cruised with the windows down with our friends in tow. Luckily, music has remained the one constant. Bitter nostalgia for the summers of yore is rampant. While Americans everywhere try to retain a sense of normalcy, it will be impossible to enjoy summer the way we want to. The rollout for summer 2020 is unlike anything before it. Bonfires with our friends, balmy summer days spent by the lake passing a spliff and sipping on a Corona, summertime love affairs-it all may feel like a past life now.
