This goes out to the entire 401HipHop community:
(Mortal, feel free to correct me if I overstep my position)
Let’s talk turkey.
I have been commissioned by the founder of this site, Mortal,
to discuss/argue/critique/blog issues within Hip Hop culture
especially as it pertains to/exists here in Rhode Island.
The views expressed by Sneaky Pete are not necessarily those
of Mortal and in no way should be considered “THE TRUTH”
OR TAKEN PERSONALLY.
That being said, I have been granted authority here
and will be working with Mortal to maintain a certain
“Standard of Excellence” on the site
which, of course, is subjective–
but the fact that one of RI’s most
consistent and respected promoters has
granted me this honor is not to be taken lightly
(i.e. 95% of yall should shut the fuk up and listen…kakaw!)
I invite anyone to challenge me on any topic–
I don’t have all the answers
but I do have over 10 years of experience
as an indie artist and record label co-owner in Brooklyn, New York.
My resume is not a joke and I won’t be “buddied up to”
just cuz “you spit too”
I’m not here to make friends, I’m not here to make enemies.
Dont get mad at me if u can’t beat me with words.
ThIs is a BUSINESS!!
If you can’t learn to express yourself w/o suggesting physical violence…
Promoters, club owners, etc
WILL NOT WORK WITH YOU in the long run.
If you don’t like what I have to say…
or think “talking shit on the internet” is for pussies
I suggest you just ignore me and stay the fuck off the site.
I am here to speak from my perspective and experience
and hopefully inspire others to create great art.

Jots says:

Mystik? is that you…posting from 2 different accounts? (how sneaky)
are you STILL complaining?
when your flyer is up on the site?!!!?
Why would EVER assume that it’s your right
to promote your event on another promoter’s website?
ok, so it is called 401hiphop.com …but really now, use some sense
As previously stated,
This site is a forum for emcees and fans
to express themselves freely
(within reason)
but it is a privilege that can and will be stripped
if you continue to post the same message again and again and again
or spam promote your event when it has nothing to do with the topic.
Submit your events to myself (sneakypete004@gmail.com)
or HW
and accept our decision to add it or not (ultimately Mortal decides what goes up on the site) gracefully.
a few tips:
*flyers: if you dont know photoshop…find someone who does
*publicity: consider inviting me or HW out to review one of your events (guest list of course) If we feel you have a quality event that
we would want to recommend to the community…viola. problem solved.

Mortal says:
P-tinghtnGTCprod … if you want your events added to the site, then email then to HW. he doesn’t have a problem posting your events. but NO you can NOT spam the site.
Sneaky is only a contributer, NOT the site “manager” … i think the term your looking for is Admin. I am the admin. HW is a writer for the site. So as of now it goes Mortal > HW > Sneaky Pete.
Anyone could be a contributer for this site. so far only HW and Sneaky have stepped up and said they wanted to help out. so if you got a problem with what this site covers … or what we don’t cover … then step up. write something up, spell check it and submit it to me and stop bitching. or you can create your own RI hip hop site and do a better job then me. RhodeIslandHipHop.com tried it. you can too.
So either put up or shut up.
I do have to agree with Jots tho … Sneaky you talk about yourself and Marshall way too much.

gotta let it do what it do baby…
But Gee, I’d really LIKE to get a dialogue going on other issues
…I just seem to be everyone’s favorite topic
Anyone going to pay $25 to see D-Block perform on WED?
fyi: my friend Swell of Metermaids (NYC) will also be on that bill
check em out and tell me what you think:

Jots says:
i’m not a huge lox fan – styles, jada, and sheek have put out some dope singles in the past few years that have had my head nodding, but their albums have disappointed me for the most part. metermaids sound very dope though, i will have to check more of them…
and plus, i am currently saving myself for this monster of a show:
ROCK THE BELLS
Saturday – July 26th – Boston, MA – Tweeter Center
Featuring:
A TRIBE CALLED QUEST, NAS, MOS DEF, DE LA SOUL, RAKIM, METHOD MAN & REDMAN, RAEKWON & GHOSTFACE, IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE, DEAD PREZ, MURS, SPANK ROCK, WALE, KID SISTER, THE COOL KIDS, SANTOGOLD, JAY ELECTRONICA, B.o.B, KIDZ IN THE HALL, AMANDA BLANK
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS: THE PHARCYDE
HOSTED BY: B-REAL, SUPERNATURAL & SCRATCH, DJ GREEN LANTERN
i almost shat my pants when i heard tribe was back together for a tour…a tribe show was something i just assumed i would never see. last year’s rock the bells was off the wall, and this one looks even crazier

The Craft says:
Hell yea; this year’s gonna be Dope! And they can’t put all the acts all on one stage. We’ll have the choice of who to rock out to. (So far so good Pete)

The Craft says:
By the way, anyone heard that Hiero is supposed to be at Jerky’s in August? Souls, Pep Love, Casual, Z Man, and Prince Ali. That’s gonna be the shit if people show up. (Last show I went to there was The Last Emperor, and about 15-20 people showed up).
