The cRap Music Fantasy League – Q1

Sunday, January 7th, 2007

funk doc

I haven’t forgotten about all of you cRap music moguls. I am still working on my Excel chart with my programmer YEEZE. As soon as it is up and running with all the proper info I will e-mail you your chart.

As it stands, whoever has BUSTA RHYMES on their label will receive some Notoriety Points this week for his arrest, but remember, you lose Money Points for arrests too.

Oh and yeah, I forgot to include this tidbit in the points system

If your cRapper dies you get 1000 Money Points. If he/she dies violently you will be awarded 2000 Money Points.

Like your boy ‘KISS said, “Y’all know dead rappers get better promotion.”

Here’s the list of labels that will be competing with one another for cRap Music Fantasy League supremacy this spring. In the end I only accepted teams that had confirmed their desire to play through a series of e-mails. If you don’t see your label name then that means I wasn’t able to establish your seriousness for the contest. It’s not that this will be all stiff upper lip play, but I usually dole out prizes at the conclusion of contests that I run on the site and this will be no different. Expect for me to give the winner a crispy pair of NIKE’s customized by myself and the designers at the NIKE Lab @ 255.

To all the poolers;
If you don’t like your logo, or I haven’t given you one, you may submit one to the administrator – crap.music.fantasy.league@gmail.com

Use that e-mail for all queries and complaints for items that you don’t wish to broadcast through the comments threads.

The Excel spreadsheet is underway and once completed will be mailed to you on a weekly basis. I want to do a test run before we get underway officially to make sure that my scoring systems work. Hit me up with any questions…

The cRap Music Fantasy League (beta)

e feezy

Alright cRap Music Moguls, the intro e-mail has been sent out to e-mail addresses that you provided in the initial post. I know some of you as regulars on the site so that is why you don’t have a confirmation e-mail, but all of the new jacks have to show and prove.

Let’s use the time before January 1st to get all the kinks out of the system. If you guys are going to be good cRap Music Moguls you are going to need a points system. This is how you rate how productive your artists are for you. Since rap music has taken over the pop music landscape here in America it’s easier to find your artists receiving media exposure in mainstream outlets. People, TIME and LIFE magazines which have long been a barometer for mainstream America consciousness have featured cRap stars on their covers all within the last year. The easy part should be picking your artists. The hard part will be knowing when to release them and move on. You will receive money points for all the entertainment industry achievements that your cRappers secure.

Since you will earn the most money points in cRap Music Fantasy League when an artist on your roster reaches gold or platinum certification the idea will be to have artists with potential for such feats. Even more important than that will be to have artists that have material being released. If your artist makes platinum plaques but isn’t releasing anything in the first quarter you may want to drop that artist. Artists that find themselves in the news are also good for your roster because they help you generate notoriety points. Think of these points in terms of the mythical ‘street credibility’. You want your roster of cRappers to be highly ranked on both money points and notoriety points.

While reading Nah’Right I saw the story of Detroit cRapper TRICK TRICK signing a record contract with G-UNIT. If you had TRICK TRICK on your roster you would have scored money points.

trick trick

At the same time, you should be looking to release TRICK TRICK from your roster as soon as possible because the chance of him getting a gold record with G-UNIT or even releasing a record with them is pretty slim, and I’m not talking Shady. TRICK TRICK is a G, and they need him to keep the SUGEs of the world in line. That’s not going to help you score points in the cRap Music Fantasy League. Here is a breakdown for the points system…

MONEY POINTS

  • artist reaches gold certification – 500 points
  • artist reaches platinum certification – 500 points
  • artist signs a marketing/merch deal(clothing/soda pop/etc.) – 250 points
  • artist receives award – 200 points
  • artist signs a record label deal – 100 points
  • artist releases an album(mixtapes NOT incl.) – 100 points
  • artist releases a music video – 50 points
  • artist releases a Billboard top 25 ranked single – 50 points
  • artist album review/cover story in MSM (NYTimes, SPIN, Rolling Stone) – 25 points
  • NOTORIETY POINTS (for crimes artist lose money points)

  • artist does jail time – 500 points(-100 money points)
  • artist arrested for assault – 300 points(-50 money points)
  • artist arrested for sexual crime – 200 points(-50 money points)
  • artist arrested for gun/drug possession – 100 points(-25 money points)
  • artist arrested for tax evasion – 50 points(-25 money points)
  • artist arrested for DUI – 50 points(-25 money points)
  • artist appears on Oprah – 200 points
  • artist appears on non-OPRAH talk show – 50 points
  • artist cameo on television program – 100 points

  • ROSTER TRANSACTIONS

  • artist may not be dropped/signed until the end of playweek (Saturday 11:59pm EST)
  • artist may not be resigned once dropped
  • if artist becomes deceased during playweek record label has option to submit another artist name for transfer
  • there is no limit to number of dead artists that a label may hold
  • there is no limit to number of female artists that a label may hold
  • labels may hold only (1) R&B vocalist
  • Now’s the time for questions and comments to help me refine the playing field. If you see anything that you think needs to added please put it in the comments section. There is an e-mail issued to everyone that put in a label request previously. Answer that e-mail with your label name and you are good to go.

    cons

    You dudes got some fuckin’ nerve giving me shit over not having this post up on the page! I was on my way to some open bar event with the niggas from OnSmash dot com and now I am in some Korean run computer lab so you ungrateful fucks can get your fun on.

    Here’s the point to cRap Music Fantasy League…

    Everybody gives Jigga their azz because they don’t think he can run a rap label like Def Jam. Let’s see how well some of you run your own label. This is about business so choose rappers for your label that can make you money. I am going to set a few ground rules in this post that every label has to abide by. Use this post to OFFICIALLY enter the pool. The previous joint was to see how many heads were really ’bout it and whether this would be worth my time to administer. Since the feedback was good for feedback on this site I will do the league. Let’s get it crackin’…

    Submit the name of your label and your roster of eight(8) artists in the comments section. Every label must have a girl rapper and an R & B dude. Your label scores money points every time one of your artists has a top twenty single, a music video in rotation, an album release, a review of a concert or album in supremacist media outlet(NYTimes, Washington Post, L.A. Times, etc), gold record certification, platinum record certification, award honor. I will set the money point level at a certain amount that allows a label the opportunity to acquire additional artists above the original eight.

    Labels lose money points when their artists are arrested, but they gain notoriety points. Notoriety points will be transferrable for money points after a certain amount still to be determined.

    Labels may have a dead artist on their roster.

    Labels may have the same cRappers as other labels.

    Labels may drop an artist from their roster and select another artist. That label may not re-acquire that dropped artist ever again. This is the SUGE KNIGHT rule.

    Labels will have their points totalled on a weekly basis, or whenever I get the chance to tabulate the scores. Since this is the beta jumpoff for this league don’t present questions to me outside of the comments section. In this way everybody can benefit from playing the game.

    Start filling up the comments with your rappers and your label names.
