About Me


==============================================This page was designed to (well the original idea anyway)recognize those people in my life (friends, label mates, and people of my VIP status) who impact certain aspects of who I am and what I do. It also includes many artists I respect and appreciate for keeping the culture alive. With all the garbage and madness being forced upon us by the wack mainstream radio and TV stations..we still have a choice...turn off the radio, turn off the TV, turn off that bullsh*t and turn on your mind!! Like the great Krs One once said "Rap is something you do, Hip Hop is something you live"!! So welcome to hip hop...welcome to the revolution. It's our culture dont let the wack infect our souls or continue to give a black-eye to a culture we grew up in respecting and falling in love with. So welcome to The A-List...a true hip hop safe haven. It's gonna be somewhat of an exclusive club/page so welcome and thank you to all those in the culture for showing me (Angel/Ketchup) love... ================================================ I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
