Once again, the influence of my growing CD library made itself known on The Collection. Based on what songs I'd included since the beginning of the year, I would say the number of CDs I owned at this point was somewhere around 14. While the pace at which I was acquiring albums was not as quickly as my brother's, whose own hip hop collection was still an influence on my tapes, the scales were starting to tip in my favor. The first four songs on Side A were actually from CDs that I owned (the Led Zeppelin track was actually from a mix CD that a friend found and thought I might like and they were right). That was the first time I ever did that mainly because I now had the assets to pull it off and set the template for future mixtapes.
