# Lost in Translation (mixtape)

Lost in Translation is the second mixtape by American rapper Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire. It was released via Mishka NYC on September 11, 2011. It includes guest appearances from Despot, Das Racist, Danny Brown, and El-P.

## Artwork

The mixtape's cover art is a photograph of a porn actress Lethal Lipps drinking a bottle and putting her hand down her dress while Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire passes out in a bathtub in the background. It was shot on the day his grandmother had a stroke and almost died. He drank a lot of Cîroc and passed out in a bathtub in his house. In a 2012 interview with Billboard, he said, "That picture is really about how fucked up my life was at that time."

Phillip Mlynar of The Village Voice described the mixtape as "an off-kilter gem that harnesses the uncompromising attitude of Ol' Dirty Bastard (more on that later) with the chops of someone who can rhyme his ass off."
