Today is the last day of voting for the 2009 Black Weblog Awards. If you haven’t already done so, please take 50 seconds out of your time to cast a vote for The Rap Up. We’re nominated in two categories: Best Hip-Hop Blog and Best Music Blog, so be sure to vote for us in both. Don’t forget to confirm your email address or your vote will be discarded. Preemptive thanks for your support. Let’s bring this one home.

You still need a reason to vote for TRU? How about 9?

1. Because Ivan says so
2. Because TRU Brain Trust is not to be f-cked with
3. Because…um…Cuban Linx
4. Because Bun B fux with The Rap Up
5. Because Rizoh’s Radio is the illest
6. Because TRU is for the grown and sexy
7. Because VIBE said we’re awesome
8. Because Black Barbie says so
9. You still want your Noby Noby Boy, don’t you?

Most importantly, vote because it will make you feel better.
