My blogs ignite the people like Obama
Over the years, many of you ride-or-die T.R.U. loyalists have expressed great admiration for the site. It’s been a truly tremendous response and I can’t say I’m not flattered. Fortunately, I have some exciting news to share with you. The Rap Up is eligible for this year’s Black Weblog Awards. Let’s use this opportunity to announce to the whole world that TheRapUp.net is our daily cup of coffee.
Something powerful inspired you to join the T.R.U. movement. Maybe it’s your appreciation for fresh-off-the-oven audios and and mud-wrestling videos. Maybe it’s your desire to see which B-list rapper will be rocking bullet dentures on their cover this week. Whatever your reasons, now’s the perfect time to stand behind your favorite blog.
I don’t have federal lobbyists. I can’t promise cyber-handshakes. But I can hook you up with some tricks on how to surf TheRapUp.net and still make your boss think you’re working on a Microsoft Word document. Now through August 15th, you can vote for TheRapUp.net (please use the url www.therapup.net) in any/all of the following categories:

We’ve built something together that’s bigger than me. So, I’m turning this drive over to you. Tell all your friends and family to go buy a computer so they can vote for The Rap Up.
