Okay, so, some of you might remember the epic, highly controversial “Alumnah’s March Maddness” series we did spanning March & April. Well, apparently those fuckers at Vibe Magazine decided to rip off our whole shit!
HipHopDX reported today that Vibe Magazine did a similar tournament, complete with brackets and junk, only instead of it spanning a buncha rappers from all time periods, they decided to have theirs be “Best Rapper Alive”.
I call bullshit.
Now I know that no idea is original, and while I presented our own tournament after thinking about The Source’s late 2001, early 2002 tourney, reading about this one just hit too danged close to home. So, having said that, PISS OFF, VIBE! If you want Alumnah.com content, cut me a fuckin’ check. Seriously. I could use the money, and one man’s “selling out” is another man’s “cashing in”.
Welfare, Social Services, Public Assistance = Tomato, Tomato
Before you even walk wit’ me, please know that this isn’t a pity party, it’s just one guy’s (mine) experience dealing with “The System”. All of these bloggers out there talk about keeping it real and being relevent and all that shit, but while they talk the talk, I’m walking the walk. I do hope that people realize that “ether” doesn’t even make a dent when Real Life happens, soooo save the insults because honestly? You’re just wasting your time.
