San Diego Music Awards: Hip-hop blog launches write-in campaign for Mitchy Slick
All the info to get Mitch in therr! Nice work Quan Vu --->http://lastblogonearth.com/2010/08/02/san-diego-music-awards-hip-hop-blog-launches-write-in-campaign-for-mitchy-slick/
MC Flow's advice on getting Mitch the award. Lets go!!!...
1. Start a write-in campaign for Mitchy Slick, encouraging all local fans to vote for him. The SDMAs includes write-ins for a reason; if you get enough votes, you will win.
2. Create an online petition demanding that you or someone else from the local scene (hopefully more than one person) be added to the committee. Get everyone you know to sign it and present it to the SDMA committee.
3. Picket outside the SDMA’s with some sort of visible message that hip-hop is not included/respected as it should be at the awards.
4. Create an additional petition that PERFORMERS at the SDMAs reflect the hip-hop community as well ( have you seen the performers for this year? LAME!)

It's an award show. That means it deals with popular music. You don't see Brotha Lynch or Kool Keith getting nominated for a Grammy or MTV award for best hip-hop. Why would gangsta street rappers care if they get nominated? Did you send in a CD to City Beat Offices? Look at the list of past winners - What has it done for any of them? It's not a big deal. It's an award show that raises money for kids in school to get guitars and musical instruments sponsored by Taylor Guitars.
we need a HIP HOP awards...to many genres and specifics of Hip Hop to cover...to keep everyone happy and involved.
best hip hop
best gangsta rap
best christian rap
best collaboration
best lyricist
best producer
best album
best label
best live performance
best album
best song
artist of the year
etc.............that's just off top with no thought into it.
until that happens everyone will not be happy, someone is always gonna get skunked.

Jimmy is right. That would make more sense to have a whole hip-hop awards show. The artists who got nominated sent in their albums for submission and all those artists listed play around san diego, and get mentioned in the reader and city beat which is whatever cause both those publications are bullshit anyways. You have to crossover to get any shine here because we have no hip-hop radio stations. You have to get played on 94.9 and 91x. And rap and hip-hop is just as different as hard rock and alternative. You can't place aesop rock and gucci mane in the same category. Bottom line the event is to raise money for kids, its not going to get you signed and boost your career if you get nominated or win!
only thing I see it as is something to talk about when I am older....do I think it's a big deal, not really, although performing there will be cool, cause a.) all the bookers for Venues in SD will be there, along with most of the other "Industry Professionals". b) It's televised....and I get to gig out.
but yeah, a SD Hip Hop awards would be dope...I know Cros1 wants to get it popping when he gets back, I am sure access would be involved as well as some of the siccness staff...alot of people. just come together with tact discuss the categories....nominate some folks, have performers from every genre, and have it be a vote of your peers.....get some local sponsors...and host it at a nice venue....that's it...
just a little planning, and some loot.

True, but who do you see on BET/MTV that isn't signed besides my nigga Reggie Push LOL. It won't boost your career if you ain't got one. It will help some what around the town, braggin rights and it's just a good look to win anythang that has to do with music if you're an artist. It may be bullshit, but it shows that individuals are out here grindin and jumpin on opportunities. Who knows, it might catch someones pair of eyes.
