Where's the complaints number/ email? I'm sure this thread is gonna be flooded with "I should have been on this list" comments & such.

[The Angry Hand of God]

I should have been nominated as best and most knowledgeable hip hop supporter. And the nicest most humble guy you could ever meet.

[Dpleezy]

heheh,,, at least i don't have to waste my money going to joburg

[rob_one]

I'm not sure how the picks were made - does anyone know?

[The Angry Hand of God]

They picked the people who got most radio play and appeared in Hype most throughout the year I think.

I could be wrong, but that's not likely cos I am God.

[Jules Winnfield]

it's well in line with hype's prefrences, is amakipkip sponsering this joint?

decor as graff artist of the year over Makone/Curio? WTF?

who's performing?

[The Angry Hand of God]

decor as graff artist of the year over Makone/Curio? WTF?

I was wondering about this too. But hey what do I know?

Do any of you know where I can get some t-shirts and hoodies and such printed? I'm thinking of doing some guerrilla marketing. It needs to be good quality silkscreening though.

Rob are you still in Joburg?

[Darklight]

i never knew cape town was destructed by the effects of global warming... 

[rob_one]

@Pyro, been and gone mate. Didn't stop moving the whole time. Ended up on a friend's couch at 4am watching Rocky Horror Picture Show and woke up with the worst hangover of all time.

Got to Ritual briefly though, stocked up. Except Osmic left my Last Days Fam out of the bag, the sneaky bastard...

Battle of Gugulethu Vol.2 and Driemanskap are nominated.

[Myth]

im suprised  pioneer unit didnt even make the best independent label list....

[Omero's Daddy]

I was told there was a nomination process? Not sure when and where the voting was done. But i think Hipe should have been on the producer list. He has more product out than any of the other producers.

[Dpleezy]

im suprised  pioneer unit didnt even make the best independent label list....

yeah,,, me too - especially with what else is on that list,,, but hey,,, we'll just have to work harder i guess

[Omero's Daddy]

I was really surprised not to see you guys on the list. Especially the amount of work you've done showcasing SA hiphop artists, locally and abroad. And just the amount of media coverage u guys have had. U really were the stand out label of the last two years. Its a pity.
