    if its just a mixtape then yeah you can use already used beats.. almost every mixtape uses at least a few

    a street album maybe depends on how you distribute it the only way you can be sued is if you use the beats and promote them as your own to make profit many rappers use other people beats in freestyles because alot of the time those freestyle or mixtapes are free no profit just exposure or buzz
