Great Point Miki, you wouldn't hire an electrician to install your wood flooring. properly educated representation in the selection process would satisfy alot of people in the hip hop community.— September 11, 2009 8:31 a.m.

Where I have seen this article printed before? Oh yeah, last year in The Reader...and the year before...and the year before... C'mon Jay, give us something new for once! This is old news -- more whining, more negativity -- BOR-ING! <yawn!> By Dove09 12:19 p.m., Sep 10, 2009 > Report it there is huge difference between WHINING and PRESSING AN ISSUE. There is an obvious issue in the SDMA selection process and the overall support that is extended to local Hip Hop. if your personal preference of anything was treated as a lesser entity and you wanted to the change that perception for the greater good of your entire community of peers, would you consider yourself to be WHINING. mutual respect and recognition is all that is being whined about here.— September 10, 2009 2:47 p.m.

People in general just can't communicate with each other when they have nothing in common, that's a fact. Some people would say that it's complaining, some people will say that it's speaking up..regardless, it's no fineprint that local Hip Hop has no support from either "rhythmic genre" radio stations ie, 98.9 or Z90, which would introduce the music to you SubBass. Cities with syndicated radio support are always the cities with the most visible Hip Hop Scene. I think everyone will agree that there is absolutely nothing wrong with my marketing skills, it's the sole reason I was nominated, because "I DO NOT HAVE A SOLO ALBUM RELEASED". Now tell me why I recieved the nomination, yet my friend and mentor BLAME ONE,whom you have never heard of, charted on college radio at #2, was a featured artist on Myspace Music, was pick by the Editor of XXL magazine as "Chairman's Choice" for album on the month. Has been making music for 2 decades, 4 critically acclaimed solo albums, all while raising 2 children, working full time and keeping his message truthful and positive. Not all Hip Hop is Blunts, 40oz, & Bitches. House of Rep, myself & Armory Massive- All have succesfully organized, promoted and managed numerous showcases, national headlined and weekly events with "NO INCIDENTS". We just would like for the people to take a viable look at us, cause it is virtually impossible for us to put out our music to the 1.2 Million people without local radio support, bring back an actual Hip Hop Hour, music that is passionately driven by art rather than profit. Finest City Broadcasting has no interest in supporting local music.— September 10, 2009 9:13 a.m.

Thanks for becoming a champion and a virtual megaphone for the San Diego Hip Hop community Jay. Without people like yourself whom actually listen and show some interest into the culture itself which is very diverse, it is largely overlooked and ignored. Hip Hop is often falsely lumped together into this spider web of negativety and misconceptions. It's time to recognize the hard work and dedication that myself and many others strive for on a daily basis just for joy of creating the music we are passionate about. Respect to everyone whom has ever went out on a limb to create something and put it on display for others to embrass or criticize. SAN DIEGO DOES HAVE A HIP HOP SCENE, THE RADIO STATIONS DO NOT GIVE US SUPPORT AND THE POWERS THAT BE JUST CHOOSE NOT TO REASEARCH OR THOUROUGHLY ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A VIABLE SOURCE OF ART AND EXPRESSION.

He's Got the Cheese
WOW.......as a promoter.....I can say that what CROS 1 does for this city is leaps and bounds on what any other promoter could even come close to doing for the SD scene. I haven't worked directly with CROS, but I know of his work ethic and proficiency of his product (events). all ass kissing aside, this is a business and my man CROS1 is the Big Fish actually moving forward, and thinking of new ideas, and not just hosting the same local showcases over, and over, and over..... Give respect when it is due, and just because someone is more succesful in there business ventures than you are doesn't make them an bully....it makes them more organized, proficient and profitable. If you can't compete, don't sign up for the race... Stay Up Cros...people see what you do, you already know that. Jimmy Powers— July 9, 2009 10:53 a.m.
Nautical Disaster, Jimmy Powers vs. Verbz, and Aepnia
That was a crappy song to pick for a review, kind of a filler track. I couldn't agree more.....I was young and inexperienced....the beat is downtempo, not supposed to hype up anyone other than a hip hop head....in my defense though...I still rock that track live at shows, and still have the crowd yelling "Powers" during the chorus. more of track for wordplay and wit, no direct message. you may prefer to listen to my new material, perhaps it would be more to your liking. www.sdreader.com/mp3/379 respect www.myspace.com/jpowers— July 2, 2009 3:03 p.m.
