01  5:09 Dedication (feat Prince Ital Joe, Coolio, and
Jewell)

Ya'll know you been waiting for this shit, and ya'll know
the only ones who could bring it to you are RNS.  This song
is a little too strange for me -- I dunno what the fuck
Coolio is doing with a tribute to 2Pac, and I don't know why
the fuck they threw on that female hook giving props to fat
ass Piggie Smalls.  Anyway, it's hot, so of course RNS had
to bring it to you.  Peace!

TEAM RNS - RUNNING THE MP3 SCENE IN 1999 AND BEYOND

Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this .NFO file to
read about our competition's gayest act yet.  I hope ya'll
like their tape rips!

Rabid Neurosis was established in 1995 and since 1996 we have
been dedicated to bringing the highest possible quality to
the mp3 community.  It is rumored that we only rip rap, hip
hop, and r&b, well, this is simply a rumor, granted that
this type of music is the mainstream at the moment, so of
course a lot of this genre is going to get done, but we do
other types of music (rock, ska, punk, techno, bootlegs, pop,
etc) as well.  Currently we are not looking for any members
unless you have some exceptional background in either the mp3
warez or iso scene and/or have something exceptional to offer
to the group (pre-release ripper, t3/linux/30gb+ us/euro Site
Op, or hardware supplier) if you fall into that category drop
by #rns on efnet and talk to one of the seniors about joining
or mail the president Al Capone (Capone@rns.org) note: we are
NOT seeking any artists or couriers period.

[Other News]

Zero Music Inc. is RNS's official couriers (irc/ext ftp). The
reason for doing this is that it was felt by us, that RNS
should be focusing on releasing and not the mass distribution
of our music, they will handle the xdcc's and ftp couriering
to sites outside of RNS to benefit those not within the group

First, an exerpt from the NFO of the APC rip of DJ Mastermind - Wup Ass 46 from a few days
ago...

Why is it that all the mix cds the cometition rips sound like AM tape rips,
|finnaly apc brings you a Mix cd which is actually a cd.  From the best dj in all          |
|of toronto Dj mastermind.  I tried to do my best with the track listings since everything |
|is basically mixed in.  The new tape is 90 minutes and since cds can only hold 74 they ded|
|out the last track.  This is the complete CD and all track listings are correct.  For all |
|those that say playo aka "tape ripper" kiss my ass.  This is a cd and not a nasty 192/44  |
|high quality am tape rip the so called competition released a couple of days ago.  Anyways|
|i dont like to write autobiographys, so final words are watch out for my next release     | |cause this is the first of 2 mix cds ill be releasing within the next couple of days.     | |                                                                                          |
|Peace and Love to APC                                                                     | |                                                                                          |
|Playo										           |

I corrected the formating but didn't bother to correct this illiterate ripper's atrocious
spelling and grammar.  Anyway, that's not the point.  Here's what's amusing... this rip is
FROM A TAPE.  Yes, that is correct -- the .NFO file in which this lamah chooses to bitch
at RNS about rip quality is for a MIXTAPE (which he is even so stupid as to openly claim
is a CD).  Playo Gayo Tape Ripper has once again not failed to disappoint, this time
making a huge ass out of himself and his entire group.  APC is pretty gay, but even they
are a bit too elite for playo gayo.  Here's the words from DJ Mastermind himself...

Hey Jason,
I DO NOT make CD's...These are bootlegs and you should be careful as to
what this gut sells you!!! Thanks for the tip & info, I'll look into it!
Peace,
M.

If you don't want to take our word for it, e-mail him yourself -- he says his e-mail
address a few times on the mixTAPE that playo gayo ripped.

As for playo gayo, let me just say that you never surprise me.  You were kicked out of ZMI,
you were denied by RNS despite having a pre-release in hand (on the grounds of LAMENESS)
and I suspect you will be kicked out of APC now that you have degraded their name so
badly.  If it weren't you, I might even be willing to believe you had unknowingly bought a
CD bootleg (of a tape bootleg haha) but since you like to try and pass off tape rips as CD
rips (ie Mariah Carey, lots of people who will be witness to that one) I would guess that
you were fully aware of what you were doing.  As for the rest of APC, can I just suggest
you keep your little bitch ass rippers in check... you know who runs the MP3 scene... RNS
does... and you know that every time you try to diss us you just diss yourself.  Haha.

As for the remarks about RNS's mix CD rips... I'd like to say one thing.  If DJ Clue puts
out a CD that sounds like crap, it's not our fault... we will rip it, and do our best to
clean it up, but DJ Clue is not an RNS member and we cannot do anything about his sound
fidelity.  Likewise for any other mix CD we rip.  What we CAN assure you of is that it
will sound at LEAST as good as the CD you buy on the streets of NYC.  One thing we do NOT
do, however, is rip a tape and pretend it came from CD... we don't need to decieve the
public in order to get their support... we'll leave that to our increasingly gay
competition.

PLAYO GAYO TAPE RIPPER 4 LIFE!!
