Yes, we have about a dozen Valentines mixtapes at your downloading disposal. And why not? There are two ways to go about this. Eff the V-day noise, or romance it without selling your soul to Russel Stover. Everyone knows the best way to stick it to Hallmark is a half-decent mixtape, but a truly gifted Valentines Mixtape takes taste, and who's got that? Luckily most of our friends, it turns out.

For those of you with a scrolling impediment, all the goods are up top. If you're one for “tracklists” and knowing who wrote “The Longest Time” or “Abusua Nnye Asafo,” just click the linked name of the person who compiled the tape, and it'll transport you down the page like a magic love boat.
