TOP 17 MIXES OF 2017

I tried and tried, but I could not justify separating any of the below mixes from the pack.  All of the below mixes are just too good for any of them to be singled-out as "better" than the others.

A REMINDER TO ALL THOSE INCLUDED ON THE LIST:
Some of you make a living off this whole DJ thing of ours; some of you are trying to make a living off this; while others are content to just be bedroom enthusiasts.  Whoever you are, you are extraordinarily talented if your mix has been posted on this blog.  I am a music snob.  I take music, hip hop culture, and the art form of deejaying very seriously.  I don't post bullshit (for the most part), and I don't give out compliments loosely.  If I've said your mix is dope, it's because I think your mix is dope.  And if I think your mix is dope, it's because it is.  This blog can only go as far as your mixes will take it.  The blog dies when your mixes dry up, so keep mixing motherf%ckers!  Keep diggin'; keep searching for inspiration; stop complaining about button pushers and show them how it's done.
