The Mix Tape is a mixtape by KRS-One released in August 2002 by Koch Records, in promotion of the Kristyles album also released by Koch the following year. It is quite short with four interludes making up the 13 tracks. It is known for the song "Ova Here" which disses Nelly, as KRS-One was under the impression Nelly dissed him on the track #1 from his album Nellyville and the Training Day soundtrack.
A proper but very limited version of the street album was released in Europe under the title Prophets vs. Profits. That version features lesser skits and has a few additional tracks although a pair of tracks on The Mix Tape is missing from Prophets vs. Profits.
