The Ozone Awards.... Please tell me this is a joke

Stereotypes are the worst. Stereotypes make my race out to be a bunch of border-hoppers that suck the life out of the social service system, and stand out in front of Home Depot all day looking for work.

You're right, you DON'T know me... I am well aware of the hip hop scene in my state, given that I m trying to get on making beats. Funny thing about you mentioning Little Brother as well, seeing as how Phonte and I are from the same city, went to rivaling high schools and joke about that fact quite often trading messages on MySpace and when I make it to a show.
I have met 9th Wonder in person several times, real cool cat.
Fact, here is that you pigeonholed NC backwards there, homie... It so happens that the most of hip hop coming from here is independent and progressive, more along the lines of LB and the Justus League than like the states OTHER representative Petey Pablo. Only those on the outside looking in make assumptions to the contrary.
Equally funny thing is thast the thread starter, he is ALSO a black man living down south. I don't know a terrible lot about him and I don't THINK we have met unless he was at one of the Atlanta 240SX owners meets I have been to. Don't even know his first name, but the existence of a thread like this speaks to how closely related our lines of thinking are, and I like that.
