Quote from Ryan in Everybody Hates Graduation
Adult Chris: [v.o.] While my plans went into the garbage, Uncle Ryan threw out a proposal. Ryan: Hey, just the man I'm looking for. Adult Chris: [v.o.] Translation: "I need some money." Julius: Hey, man, what you got going this time? Drew: Uncle Ryan is selling mixtapes. Julius: Mixtapes? What, like masking tape and duct tape on the same roll. Adult Chris: [v.o.] That's a good idea. Ryan: Nah, man, mixed tapes. Mixtapes. [fantasy: Dr. Information appears on a rotating platform with a car in the street:] Dr. Information: A mixtape is a compilation of tracks that have been recorded on a cassette tape. These tapes, once compiled, can be sold on any major city street out of the trunk of a Black man's cars, typically a Buick or a Lincoln. Since the cost of the tapes is so low, and the music is free, selling mixtapes was and is still, a profitable, although illegal, business.
