Wagner spent the ensuing days working like a madman. For more than 16 hours per day, he filmed future college and NBA (http://mashable.com/category/nba/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) stars, then edited the highlight clips to rap beats for his popular YouTube channel, Hoopmixtape. I wrote a story about it (http://theclassical.org/articles/mixtape-madness).*
