|                            Additional Release Notes:                          .

| i have a lot to say and little time to say it, so try to                      .
| bare with me ....                                                             .

| last time i was on this is what was remembered about the                      .
| .mp3 scene                                                                    .

| - havok and rns were running shit (and regardless of my                       .
| loyalty to aPC they still do), so no disrepect to any groups                  .
| in any form.                                                                  .
| - i was mixing tapes here and there                                           .
| - i was rbk for a brief period until my cpu fried and i just                  .
| finally said fuck it and stopped bothering with even coming                   .
| on irc.                                                                       .
| - apc nigguz pissed me right the fuck off                                     .
| - kids were finally starting to get brave and do their own                    .
| mixes instead of waiting for me                                               .
| - loyality to others and their groups was very strong.                        .

| i'm back now .... wtf do i see u ask?                                         .

| - where the hell is havok?  and who are these guys in RnS?                    .
| (no offense to the group, but your vinyl rips as of late                      .
| have either poorly encoded or the EQ levels are just                          .
| terrible .. u guys still do some nice pre's and respect to u                  .
| for it, but put some pride back in the vinyl rips)                            .
| - i MAY drop a mixtape or 2, i'm debating on it and whether                   .
| or not it's a waste of my time to even bother with dj'ing                     .
| for aPC or any group for that matter                                          .
| - rbk is prolly pissed as fuck with me cuz i didn't even msg                  .
| them to explain wtf happened (i think i msg'ed one guy, i'm                   .
| still a little drunk from new years)  :)                                      .
| - the apc nigguz that really pissed me off before retired or                  .
| quit so fuck em                                                               .
| - kids are TOO brave with their mixes, showing off like they                  .
| some hot boy but the weak mix tapes make pioneers to                          .
| spinning to mp3 look like asses.  (that includes me, if you                   .
| gonna spin, at least listen to the shit before you release                    .
| it)                                                                           .
| - the group loyalty thing is still in effect (as it always                    .
| will be)                                                                      .

| so here's my rip of da rockwilder by meth and red (vinyl)                     .
| .... there are many reasons why i ripped/re-ripped this one                   .
| (i'll never know now that dupecheck disappeared into the                      .
| cold mist) ....                                                               .

| 1. (and note this was the original reason i came back) ... i                  .
| had my site up (no do not ask me for an account) ... and                      .
| somebody (who shall remain COMPLETLY nameless) upload the                     .
| rockwilder instrumental for me.  i was like COOL!  i can                      .
| press this to vinyl.  BUT ... little did i know.  some                        .
| jackass kid (who i'll never know who seeing as the .mp3 was                   .
| tag-less) just looped the beginning of the RnS blackout rip                   .
| of it.  LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  if you gonna make a custom                   .
| instrumental do 2 things, 1. let ppl know it's custom and 2.                  .
| DO A GOOD JOB EDITING THE FUCKER.  this inspired me to drive                  .
| for 2 hours to another city to another record shop where                      .
| this single was left on hold for me, and drive god knows how                  .
| long back to rip it just to show that i don't play around                     .
| with the scene like these kids.                                               .

| 2.  i noticed that another group (which god help me i can't                   .
| remember the name) ripped it too.  ummm, i didn't see it on                   .
| any of the distros ... who the fuck are these guys?  and                      .
| .... when did they become a group?  is it me or did like 20                   .
| random groups assemble from kids who think they know how to                   .
| compress .mp3s just come to surface?  no, fuck that,                          .
| originators i remember were (in no particular order) -                        .
| -=aPC=-, -=RnS=-, -=CmS=- and the other obvious ones from                     .
| back in the day ... but, some of this shit makes me laff.                     .
| these are the 3 originators and these other kids who think                    .
| they can test the top 3 with one looped/edited rip of da                      .
| rockwilder instrumental is NOT going to impress me now or                     .
| later.                                                                        .

| 3.  i remember when peepz were nice in these channels.  they                  .
| would try to help you out instead of saying "shut the fuck                    .
| up lam3r" every other sentence.  so now ppl have no heart                     .
| for this shit.                                                                .

| so here's my opinion, here's the real/vinyl maxi (minus the                   .
| 1212 side cuz that song is not the greatest REGARDLESS),                      .
| this is my best vinyl rip i can remember from the ones i did                  .
| be4.  at least you know i still got effort left for this                      .
| shit.                                                                         .

| all you other wack groups, plz don't bother to rip your cds,                  .
| just take em back to HMV where u bought them and were going                   .
| to return them anyways ... let the pros do what they do                       .
| best, kill off little bitches like u!!!!!  no time for                        .
| shouts, that's another .nfo and another day... -=g8=-                         .

| to the original 3 ... thank u for keeping it real, y'all know                 .
| you are ... no beef/disrepect, we all exist within                            .
| the same irc servers ... so we gotta deal with each other                     .
| but for the record ... thanks for not selling out to bullshit -=g8=- i'm back .
