awesome.  so you'll be our emissary, then.  spread the word throughout
the commercial radio stations of canada, bring a few really good hip-hop
plates & tell them the following:

"the shite you're trying to pass as hip-hop is just watered down r'n'b
crap & in all honesty it sucks big time.  they don't represent hip-hop,
but this does.  <passing actual hip-hop records>  could you play it?  i
_know_ it's not on cd, but you're a dj right?  i'm only asking for some
good taste here.  thanks."

then they'll check their advertising contracts & say no.  (or more
likely, if you ask the show host, he'll look at you weird for a minute &
then he'll ask you to repeet becoz e didunt enderstand duh 1st feew
werdz du00ddddd, waaaayyy 2 many werdz in dat sentuns (iz dat duh
werd?????) du000ddd.)

good luck anyway!  you're our last hope.
