A LETTER FROM THE MANAGEMENT

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

When I return with the 45 on me, it ain’t for playing games…

What’s really ‘hood party people? I suppose it’s time for me to get back to work since y’all are back at your grinds respectively. I’m taking my time coming in off the bench because this is the fourth quarter. This is the part of the game where I want the ball in my hands [ll]. It’s big dog time. Let’s see who can finish the year off strong and take their buzz into the next season. I sort of stumbled around at the end of Q3. I had a few miscues, but thankfully none of them resulted in a turnover.

I was nearly ticketed for drinking in public, but the cops(two white dudes) let me go since my bottle was empty.

I was nearly arrested for putting on deodorant inside a pharmacy and then walking out without paying for it, but the store security didn’t feel like going out like that. I came back the following day after I had bathed and I had some money and I bought the deodorant.

I’ve been a bit loopy for a few weeks and that is prah’lee because I’ve started drinking heavily again. I get angry, then depressed, then melancholy. I buy a pair of sneakers and I get happy again, but then I drink until I get sick and this makes me angry once more. It’s called wash, rinse, repeat bitches and I plan on doing this until I die sometime soon, but I ain’t dead yet, and as long as I ain’t dead we got shit to do.

cRap Music Fantasy League Q4 is underway!

The DP Dot Com Football Pool is starting to separate the kids from the grown and sexy footballers.

Last week was all about the Hip-Hop Honors awards and the iNternets Celebrities handled their effing B.I. as usual. It’s all about rocking this thing until the wheels fall off. Since y’all have decided to come along for the ride I don’t see any reason to wait any longer. Let’s get this shit poppin’!

SMOKE ‘EM IF YOU GOT ‘EM…

Philadelphia Needed To Win One… Badly.

Monday, October 1st, 2007

Bigger than the collapse of the Mets is the ascendancy of the Philadelphia Phillies. They have shown a resilience that their beleaguered city is desperate to witness. The horrible poverty that has devastated Camden New Jersey has bled (literally) into the city of brotherly love [ll].

In 2006 Philadelphia had the worst murder rate for any large city and that includes America’s most hardbody city, Detroit. This year has already been even worse in only the first nine months. This is why I am happy for the Philadelphia Phillies and I hope that the Eagles can get their shit together as well. If Philly has something to divert their attention from the encroaching poverty and loss of economic opportunities maybe the tide of violence can be stemmed. Philadelphia’s sports teams must do something positive before basketball season begins and the Sixers start sucking the life out of the city. By the time Thanksgiving rolls around it will be way too late.

In the meantime we need to examine how we can proactively (no P Diddy) control the violence in our neighborhoods. It used to be good enough to build a few more basketball courts and have a few more block parties but those times are past tense. People in the centre city need real solutions on rebuilding their communities. To me this means vocational training that deals with repairing the crumbling infrastructure within the centre city. Enough money has been spent on rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan and Darfur and where the fuck ever. We need to rebuild America.

That’s the team I’m rooting for.

Crap Music Fantasy League Q4 Registration

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

What you wanna do? You wanna be a baller, brawler or shot caller?

It’s that time again to tally up the cRapper rosters for the final quarter of 2007. This is big dog status in the music biz time. You better have at least Fisty Scent and Ghey-Z on your squads boys and girls because those are the niggas that bring in the money during this time of the year.

It seems like the Kangaye luster is starting to wane now. Ha, I said Wayne. No Lil’ Wang to me saying Wayne, but you might want to have Lil’ Wang on your roster for this quarter too. That nigga IS the best cRapper alive.

For those of you playing the cRap Music Fantasy league for the first time allow me to give you a quick guide to help you plot out your label’s roster of cRappers. Each player of the cRap Music Fantasy League is a record label owner. Each label has a roster of only eight(8) entertainers. You have to select one(1) R&B sanger and at least one(1) female cRapper. As a label owner you may select ANY cRappers you choose to be on your label, but choose your cRappers smartly based on their likelihood of producing points for your label during the 4th quarter (October 1 – December 31, 2007).

The way that cRappers score points in the cRap Music Fantasy League is of course by the traditional methods of releasing records, selling those records, creating music videos and other noteworthy press events like awards and citations. Because our game deals with the cRap music aspect of entertainment your artists can score points in other ways as well. By being arrested, indicted and convicted of crimes your cRappers can earn points for your label. If your artist appears on Oprah your label scores points too. Heaven forbid any artist should get merc’ked during quarter 4, but if one does while they are part of your label you get a whole lot of points. As the great J to the mwuah [ll] once said, “You know dead cRappers get better promotion.”

So here’s all you need to do to get started in the registration process of the cRap Music Fantasy League…

1) Create a name for your record label
2) Select your eight(8) individual artists
2a) Remember to have one(1) R&B artist, and at least one(1) female rapper

How simple is that? If you’re still a little confused then let some of the veterans of the game put in their selections so that they can show you how to do this son. The registration period ends on Sunday so bookmark this link and come thru later this weekend after you’ve gotten your mind right. Your registration will be confirmed by e-mail.

Oh and by the way, the winner of the cMFL gets a FREE pair of exclusive Nike kicks from DallasPenn Dot Com.

* POINT SCORING UPDATE *

Your label may also score points if your cRapper receives an RIAA gold/platinum certification for a ringtone, or if he/she creates a YouTube dance craze.

cRap Music Fantasy League Q3 Update #7

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

snoop

This looks to be the wrap up for the third quarter cRap Music Fantasy League. Thanks to all the cRap Music moguls that put aside their love of good Hip-Hop artistry in order to build a powerful label. KanYe West, R. Kelly and Fifty Cent were certainly the blue-chip selections for this round, but the cRapper that secured the win for Gain Green Records was none other than Snoop Dogg. His conviction on weapons charges relating to one of his many airport incidents finally sealed the deal for Gain Green.

Holler at me so I can get the particulars and ship your shoes out to you.

cRap Music Fantasy League for Q4 starts next week on Monday. Look out for the rules and registration drop coming later this week.
