As of Today, 4-15-08 I was eliminated from the Loud.com contest, and before I get into anything, I just wanna say thank you all for everything, as I could have not even been here, if it wasn't for you all, I really enjoyed this opportunity to get myself heard, and bring some shine to my city, Big Ups to all the rest of the finalists, Most, Crow, Franchise, Killa, and also Lex, Drop, Jaden, and D-Rap, I am thankful for witnessing all these good mc's during my time here, and to say I competed with them, and also everyone else I came in contact with on this site, good or bad, I will keep these memories with me everywhere I go, but I will not be loggin into Loud.com anymore, If I could delete my page, I would, but I can't, lol, but here is what really went down, As you may know we are apart of a reality show, so we have a site that we have to upload our footage too, so with that being said, I was told earlier Monday morning the footage for the street team had to be in that day and that I had the whole day to get the footage uploaded to the site, so I was hustling all that day, I did not have any access to a computer while I was in the streets, I was doing my task, because the footage I had was my beginning footage,(That they took off the site and are going to try to crush me with this week), it was basically no footage at all, and when I got an e-mail saying the footage had to be in at a certain time, I got on the phone and called the guy over this competition and told him what happened, because I did not get that e-mail earlier that day, and when I spoke to the other person at SRC, he told me I had all day, but anyway, he told me to go ahead and submit my footage anyway, and that I was good, so that is what I did, but as I was uploading my footage, I seen that the four clips I had put up earlier, where gone?? Every finalist knows, when the footage you submit is gone, they took it, to either vote on it, or submit it to get used for the show, So then I knew something was not right, but I went ahead anyway, and did what they told me to do, I finished uploading everything, and then left a message on the overseer's phone and told him everything was in, and then this morning I called the hotline number to get my info on the next task, and did not hear my name, nor was any of the new footage I submitted used at all, Now I understand that you cannot win everything in life, and everything is not going to go your way, but I spoke to the guy over Loud.com again and he claims that my footage was reviewed this morning at 7am eastern time, but, how could that be if no footage was taken from my site, I mean they could have looked at my site, or something, but who would do that??? I already knew if they took my footage, like they did the other ones,that would have meant that they at least reviewed it,and given me my opportunity to compete with everyone else, I knew that is what would have gotten voted on, so that is a lie told to me by the overseer, Plus now they eliminate 2 artists when there used to be one a week, now they wanna be strict and run like a label and legitimate contest, and preach deadlines to us, and they were late for their own season debut, all I am saying is, Learn from my situation at what happened and how they handled it, to better yourself as an artist, I just put the real story up about what happened to me, I feel like I got played, but I am sure all the other artists who got cut feel the same way I do, but this is a dirty game we play, but that is why we play, because of the reward, I just wanna say thank you all for everything once again, and you gotta keep your eyes open at all times, and just never give up, and keep grinding it out, but I am going to take what I learned from this competition to heart, and better myself from it, because I did not know what this industry was like behind the scenes, and now I know what to expect, so to all of you all, Thank you for everything, Gully....
