hey friends lets share!

here is a way to share files, music. this uses a gmail account as online storage. we all can upload to and download from it.

how it works:
download this program (for mac, thats all of you i think)
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gdisk/gdisk/gDisk-0.6.1/gDisk-0.6.1.dmg?use_mirror=cdnetworks-us-1&ts=1278898252
install it and use this account: thegeeisme@gmail.com
ill email you the password

now you can automatically upload files to the account and download what someone else has uploaded. you can also login to the account normally, on another computer and play or download the files like ordinary attachments.

are you down?

the roots album and the big boi album are on there now for some incentive.

World Record Holders (Kanye West, GLC & Timmy G)

Once upon a time there was a Chicago music conglomerate known as Kon-Man Productions, which was represented by Hustle, a marketing and promotions company run by Don Crowley, John “Monopoly” Johnson and Happy Lewis. At the top of the Kon-Man productions pyramid, was a up-and-coming rapper/producer by the name of Kanye West. Kanye had recruited some of Chicago’s top talent to join him on his road to riches and quest for stardom. Producers such as Boogz, Arrowstar and Brian “All Day” Miller helped him on the production side, while emcees such as GLC, Mikkey, Rhymefest, Timmy G, Miss Criss, Shayla G and Really Doe held down microphone duties.

Out of this conglomerate, a small “group” was formed which featured Kanye himself, GLC, Timmy G and Arrowstar – and this group was called the Go Getters. The Go Getters recorded a handful of songs, did some promo shoots and made radio appearances – but an official album was never released.

Tracklist

1. World Record Holders (Intro)
2. GLC, Kanye West & Timmy G - World Record Holders
3. Kanye West - Nothin’s Gonna Stop Me
4. GLC & Timmy G - Dem Guys
5. Miss Criss, Kanye West & Shayla G - Ghetto Senorita

A few of these tracks were released about 10 years ago via the World Record Holders album, which was more of a Kon-Man Productions compilation that also featured some completed Go Getters tracks. Also included on this album/mixtape were loose songs Kanye produced and completed songs from various Kon-Man artists.

Instead of trying to decipher what was an actual Go Getters song and what wasn’t, I just included who performed on each song.

Info Via Fake Shore Drive blog...

Stand out tracks:

"Fight With the Best"

"Nothing's Gonna Stop Me"

The instrumental for "Foolish Game" has also circulated a lot.

It's kinda cool to hear the birth of the more recognizable 'Kanye' sound. A lot of these tracks are trash but it is great context.
