To see the full list with long list of comments: Click on the link.. http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=187950421078&ref=mfIf not on facebook: Repost of the beginning of the message: First let me say that The Baltimore Crown is put together solely for
giving appreciation to the people who don't normally receive it. It's
not a contest, the people were chosen because voters feel that they
need to be recognized.
That said, I need your help.. This is my Baltimore Challenge for the day:!!!!!!!
If you're reading this, Please pick 1, 2, 3, 4 (or more) people on the
nominee list and/or bmore hall of fame list and say something about
them that they don't normally get to hear. Give them mad love and let
them know that you see them..and what they do in and for this city..
and let others know who they are/what they do and why we need to
acknowledge them. Some of your quotes will be published along with our
congratulations/promo lists after the crown. Thanks for the positive
energy in advance :)..
Much Bmore Love
and I'll see you at The Baltimore Crown 2009, Sunday, November 8 @ The 5 Seasons 7pm.
Hosted by Larry Lancaster
A-Class vs. Troy Brown Battle

Voting Form is in blog: Please read this before you vote very important You have to care about the underground scene to vote so please take the time to read this. Note: Most of the info: about the crown is in the original note this is added info: to answer any question FAQ: QUESTIONS: ANSWERED:
From email, messages etc..for clarity (I'll add/update as questions come in) Check myspace.com/baltimorescene.. for rules
QUESTION 1. Who votes/Who's deciding;
I stress again and again, We're holding this award show to the same
standards as The Masters, Word War, Track Meet etc., meaning: It is
hard to win, the winners have deserved to win, and they are being
judged (not just by random "crowd response" but people who sincerely
care about the craft/the artistic scene and are taking the time to
judge). At our events, judges are so gracious to take the time to come
out and give scores all night so that the best person can win. At The
Masters and at Track Meet judges have to explain their answers and are
held accountable by MCs and crowd. These awards are following that
format
There have been a panel of people personally invited from Hip Hop,
Poetry, Live Music Scene, and media to vote (be judges) in these
awards. Many of these people are listed in promotional affiliate list
on myspace.com/baltimorescene
Also, there is an OPEN INVITATION for anyone who is a participant of
the scene and CARES about the scene to vote. (Media, visual/graphic
artists, musicians, designers, journalists, authors, poets,
playwrights, mcs, producers, battle judges, models, engineers,
producers/promoters of underground events, managers, entertainment
companies, etc etc etc. are ALL encouraged to send in votes to
thebaltimorescene@gmail.co..m
along with name, email address, contact info, myspace/facebook and/or
twitter address and one line description of what they do in the scene)
You don't have to vote for all categories, but it would be nice if you
voted for as many categories as you can. Agreeing to vote is like
agreeing to judge a baltimore scene event. It wlll take definitely less
time to vote than it will take to judge a battle (hours and hours).
Asking for a one-two line explanation for each category. 30-45 minutes
tops to fill out the form. I voted already and it took me 21 minutes to
pick a person for each category and give the reasons.
QUESTION 2
Why do I have to write a description?
You don't. The beauty of this event is that the awards are chosen by
people who live for the scene and care about the scene. The people who
are emailing the votes, took time out of their day because they believe
in our scene. They believe that the person they're voting for deserves
to be recognized. If you care about the scene and want to celebrate
it..vote. If you feel like someone that you know needs to be
appreciated for what they do..vote. If not..don't vote. For all of you
that have voted and all you who will vote, we thank you for your time
and support.
QUESTION 3
Why was the description requirement put in place..
So winners can know their was though involved. It's not a popularity contest.
What WILL NOT happen is:
A) Someone has alot of cousins, coworkers, multiple email
addresses/computers and wins. Someone will win because people in the
scene WANTED TO TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE SURE SOMEONE GOT THE RECOGNITION
THEY DESERVED.
QUESTION 4
I think I deserve to win, I believe I should be recognized... what should I do?
Remember that this is about celebrating the scene.PLEASE don't even ask
this question unless you have taken the time to vote and make sure
OTHER people who deserve to win are winning. That's really what this
show is about. AND if you feel you deserve to win, spread the word
about the awards and the process of voting. Direct people to the
myspace.com/baltimorescene.. blog where voters can read the instructions or you can direct them to facebook.com/thebaltimores..cene and you can tell anyone to call/text 443 248 2596 if they have any questions.
QUESTION 5
Are there separate awards for females and males. For example best
female Hip Hop Artist AND a best male Hip Hop Artist (or vocalist, dj
etc.)
Answer:
No. To win you have to be the best ...period. like in the battles
QUESTION 6
Can you vote for presenters and/or people who won last year?
Answer:
Sure (Except for Legacy Awards/Bmore Hall of Fame Awards)
QUESTION 7: Are the Live Venue Categories Separate
Answer:
Yes. There's seperate award for live venue, hip hop venue, and poetry venue
QUESTION 7:
Can you pick more than one person for any of the votes?
Yes for Special Contribution/Special Appreciation Awards and Legacy Awards (Hall of Fame Awards).
QUESTION 8:
Do I have to vote for all the categories?
NO! Don't feel obligated to pick someone for all categories, if noone
is naturally coming to mind, However don't skip categories just to vote
for yourself, vote for one person. Remember Again, this is about
celebrating the scene. For example, If you have no idea about who's in
the poetry scene, or you can't name a mixtape. leave it blank and let
people who know about that category vote.
QUESTION 9:
I am a prominent person in the scene and would love to present an award
and/or be an integral part of panel (meetings etc) What do I do?
send email to thebaltimorescene@gmail.co..m and/or text 443 248 2596
QUESTION 10:
I have a question that's not on here..What do I do?
text 443 248 2596 or email thebaltimorescene@gmail.co..m and the answer will be added here and on site QUESTION 10:
Ok I'm ready to vote, what do I do next?
Copy and paste form in blog on this page called VOTE FORM and send to thebaltimorescene@gmail.com.

comprised of Media/Radio Personalities/ battle judges, winners, and
finalists, sponsors, producers of Baltimore Scene Events and RECORDING
underground artists and professional people of artistic community
(photographers, journalists, DJs, etc. (some of these people listed on
myspace.com/baltimorescene..)

artists, people heavy on the scene who can submit people they think

the process. No random names put in based on popularity)

released such and such a project that was they dope/versatile/showcases
their lyricism and/or they know how to rock a crowd. They're versatile.
Special Contribution Award: blah blah.. because they created an outlet
for artists to be heard, they started a movement etc. etc.
We're sticking to our battle/competition standards. (The Masters, Track
Meet, Word Wars.. with the rough public judging and/or battle hurdles)
are probably the hardest competitions to win. The Crown Awards will
also be the hardest to earn.
As always, Thanks everyone for the continued support for supporting all The Baltimore Scene Networking and Promotion Team Events
-Word War 1, Word War 2, The Master 08 and 09, Hip Hop Is..., Energy, Track Meet, Baltimore Crown 07 and 08.

We're Baaaaaaaaaaaaaack...with the Annual Masters
August 2, 09
THE MASTERS!! one of the HARDEST Battles to win..
Thanks for keeping The Baltimore Scene alive
$1000.00 CASH
Congratulations to last year's winner A-Class
recap of last year's?...
The Masters 08
"Being a man of few words all I'm going to say is The Master's
definitely set the bar for competitions as a hole"Hip Hop is NOT
DEAD!!!!!
-J5 bmorehh. com
"WoW, did I have a great time last night.That's was one of the best battles I have ever seen in person"
-Jahiti of Brown F.I.S.H.
"I'm proud to have been involved with this great event. The Bar is set. There's no turning back now.
-Shaka Pitts, Ceo of the Spitters Club
"I'm honored my buddies and I were included in the evening's
events.Thanks again for connecting the underground and keeping Hip Hop
Alive"
-Maskara of the Baltimore Breakers
"Yo. I will be at all your battles because that s*&^ was put together well.One of the better shows I've been to period"
Bar Cardy-Cartel
The Masters should be the new standard for MC battles. We as the
artistic community are well within our rights to DEMAND more from the
artists that represent us. These type of eliminations are good
opportunities to showcase the versatility of the artists that either we
have never heard from, or are already familiar with. Different sides to
the old and a fresh breath from the new.
Glad to have been a part of it.
-kane
"We came through The Masters battle last night at 5 seasons and we're
really feeling what y'all are doing w/ the underground scene. It's
definitely needed and we definitely want to continue to support and
actually become apart of the movement and add on. Lets see how we can
come together on some things...Peace"
-Poverty's Thread
It was an awesome show!!! Check out my pics of the show and the after
show Cyphor in the parking lot...Can't wait till the Crown...
-Singleton
"That was one of the best hip hop events I've been to and I've judged a lot of battles"
Labtekwon
__________________________..__________________________..__________________________..______
The Masters tests MCs in different skills using on the spot
challenges/harsh judge feedback/obstacles etc. Must Impress primarily a
large group of MCs. Writers/Lyricist (other than MCs) and media/DJs.
No hype men allowed
No lead vocals in music in song rounds
MUST BRING INSTRUMENTAL (and have original song prepared for song round) ***
The way it goes:
Round One: Lyricism Round (Best Lyricist wins $100)
MC's perform pre-written or freestyle rhyme for up to one minute. Judges judge MCs on lyrical content, word play etc.
Round Two: Freestyle Round (Best Freestyler wins $100)
MCs pick subjects out a hat/basket and freestyle on the given topic.. (last year's topics included School system, Barack Obama)

The Baltimore Scene launched the creation of it's community outreach program ENERGY on Saturday, March 7th. Energy will be an organization and event that will allow all of us promoters, artists, entertainers etc. to give back to the community. All ENERGY events will be free and we will be asking for donations for whichever cause that we're focusing on. Last Saturday, we raised goods and funds for the homeless. 100% of funds and items went to Hannah More Shelter. We ended up collecting half a room full of donations and crowd donations. Any artists, promoters, designers, videographers, photographers, DJs etc. interested in being a part of this ENERGY movement, please contact bmorescene@msn.com and put "ENERGY" in the title or message us here. Special thanks to Diamond K who volunteered his time to DJ for the event and David of Klassic Sound who volunteered to run the sound, Urban Artz Spotlight for taping, and Solomon of the 5 Seasons who helped all of this happen and of course all the artists and supporters..but shout outs to Tay, Lisa, OOH of Brown F.I.S.H., Ogun, Jaye Hunnie, J5 of bmorehh.com, Shaka Pitts of the Spitters Club, Kelly Connelly, Ms. Tris Beats, Jade Fox, Dreko, Si Notes, Kane, Mathew, Taz, Helina, Hanalyn, Dionne, Shani, Civil Jones, DJ Tempest, Nilajah, Kartel, Tya Anthony, Simba, Cream, Shy, Lynee Michelle) and EVERYONE who came through...too many to name..and of course ALL the artists on flier..
