A botleg is normally a song that nicks a vocal off a track, and uses it in there song, like Loop Da Loop - Whassup took the vocals of the bud add, and they dont have permision to use them. Also a song is known as a bootleg when it is brand new, and is not singed up to a label

Oh and the essential mix is a show, on radio1, if u r not in the uk go to www.bbc.co.uk/radio1. The essentialmix starts ar 2am tonight gmt.

Hope that helps

Well a bootleg is just an unauthorised recording (i.e. pressing/burning etc.) released, usually, for commercial gain and is usually released before the "authorised" version.

Armand Van Helden had to bootleg (i.e. sell unauthorised copies of) his own Flowers EP to stop someone else from doing it first!
