Check my Footwork & 10 Days to Go
Wassup folks,
First - I have to do a bit of bragging. Ya'll can check out the exclusive Sprite/LeBron Nikes sitting on my desk at work. I took some pics for ya'll to check em out.
Ya'll don't know how hard it was to get these made but we eventually got it done. We only had so many made - less than 200 and LeBron got 35 pairs off the top. I'll be real honest too - there's no way 165 pairs made it to our office - something fell off of a truck somewhere. 
Anyway - I shipped them out last Thursday to some key radio DJs, mags, websites, celebs and the like. I only kept a few AND we haven't decided what to do with them yet.
Second - There's only 10 days left in the contest to submit your tracks. Make sure they're hot and you get out and promote. My ad agency likes some tracks. I like some others. Eventually, it's going to come down to LeBron, Paul Wall and Al Fatz.
LAST I gotta give props to the people that have been promoting like crazy. I don't know how some of ya'll got 1,000 plus votes but it has definitely been noticed. You've almost guaranteed that our folks at Atlantic Records are gonna hear your tracks. (That is unless someone outpromotes you in the next 10 days)
Plus - big ups to folks using MySpace to promote. I've personally checked out 10-15 profiles and have been cruising Technorati and Google blog search to find more.
it's late, i gotta go jump on my 360...peace

Great to hear that you're personally checkin out the beats. Definitely check out my beats when you get a time (shamless advertising) :)
DJCHUNG (also my username on lebron23-23)
First I gotta say thanks for the opportunity. I know most of us appreciate any chance to be heard.
Second..did any of the shoes fall of a truck in the Detroit area? The shoes are tight as hell.
Third..If by chance I was one of the ones you listened to on myspace, then it's much appreciated and I hope you liked what you heard. My music is not the usual hip hop, but the response to it has been good. If you haven't heard it yet, feel free to click my name and take a listen. One of my tracks is gonna be featured on Unique Whips, and I'm hoping it's the episode in which they customized your vehicle. Thanks again..keep ballin the way you do!
Sup peeps!...Go to tha Listen Lab and search VRoc
there are two tracks I did. Like I said...I am a Phemale Producer and ready to get some more of my stuff in da door. Well, tha 1st track is just straight up beat. Definitly something you can jam to that has that Sprite remix feel to it and tha 2nd track like I said LeBron!...Goes wit tha SCENES for tha comercial.
DON'T FORGET TO CHECK ME OUT AT myspace.com/vrocofvrocsbeatsproductions

Yes it sure has been noticed. But shouldnt be out of admiration or anything, should make you really question how they got all of the votes.
They surely are not sitting in and typing in thousands of codes in manually to vote for themselves, only a program can do that (kinda of like a myspace auto friend adder/message sender...) And I cant help but also notice how much the Widget votes have gone up since this post.
Anyways thats all I have to say on this matter. I called them out, and I am sure others have noticed what I called out. In the end, I can know that my music is much better, and for that I still have the advantage over these fools that need to cheat to try to win something.
keppen,
I'm sure Sprite has noticed. Cream rises to the top homie. The admin and Atlantic are not dummies. I'm just promoting to get into the top 100, that's all. They'll listen to the top 100 beats and weed out the good from the not so good. I don't hate on those that got 1,000 plays. Great for them. They'll get listened to, but remember there are another 90 or so that may have just want Sprite wants. You just keep pluggin' homie and I'll see ya' in the top 100 at least. Good luck.

Word. My thoughts exactly. I am hoping to be at or near number 23 on the widget votes by the 22nd, so I know for sure I will be in the top 100, to make it to the next round, as you and most of us are trying to do im sure. And I wasnt saying anything about people with like 1000 or 2000 votes - mainly the few that have 6-7 thousand - thats just so in your face, that cant be looked past lol.
But good luck to you also Slim -hope we both make it to the top 100. I guess guys like us are lucky theres only a few of these guys out here cheating for votes, cuz since theres only a handfull, theres still room for 90 or more to have a chance to make it, doing it without cheating. Thanks for the comment mane. Btw my song is Ballin by Keppen - check it out when u can and let me know if u like it - Ill hit u up on myspace with a friend add - Peace, Keppen

THE SYSTEM IS FLAWED! Did you know that you can vote for yourself in the Widget Picks? A student at my school under the name of DustyRoad00 was bragging about how he was leading everybody in votes on the Widget Picks! He said that he and a bunch of his friends had copied and pasted his track THE BEAST IS ALIVE on their myspace pages and they were all voting for it so he could win! I'm not hating but I listened to his track and it SUCKED! I've heard several tracks posted in the Listen Lab that sounded a lot better! I don't think it is fair to the other contestants and a lot of the serious producers in the contest! So I had to ring the alarm!

.....Actually, none of what you said is against the rules. They can vote for themselves as much as they want, if thats how they are doing it.
But, it is Quite obvious that is not whats happening, because the votes wouldnt keep comming in 1 at a time minute after minute, hour after hour. They would come in spurts.
And since I wasnt born yesterday, I will put money that Mr. Anonymous here, is one of the guys at the top, possibly the guy named above, trying to cover his or her tracks.
Like some teacher at a school is gonna find this site, and narc on a student that was talking about this conest in class? LOL Anyways nice try......
The guy you named (I wont name names) got over 5000 votes so far today, so if I was him, and got called out here, I would probably try to cover my butt also. Anyways good luck everyone else. Hope the best man or woman wins
I'm full-throttle on this contest!

Yo. I've been away for the weekend but I'm definitely looking into your comments about people using bots to cast votes for themselves - I'll get my digital agency to look into it first thing on Tuesday morning.
On one hand, we use a Captcha code to prevent people from using bots. It's tried and tested within our system to prevent more than one code entry at a time and prevent people from using bots. It's very much like the system that TicketMaster uses.
Plus, it's key to note that votes are important to be considered for judging, it is not the sole factor in deciding who wins the contest.
The contest will be won based on quality and the judging criteria laid out in the rules.
peace
Cool Im glad to hear that. I guess when a contest comes up that you need votes to move on, we all automaticly think votes are number one no matter what. Glad to hear that the quality of music, according to the rules, is what matters way more than just votes.
This is such an awsome oppertunity, as well as contest. A dream come true for someone like me that has been producing music in his bassment for the past 10 years. I hope this method of creating music for commercials and movies hopefully, :) will be used by Sprite, and other companies, in the future. I think this is the blueprint of how to have a contest like this. Props to Sprite and all involed for putting this together. I love how simple the mixer is to use. Its so easy even my mother made a beat the other day, and shes 60! Hahaha, never thought I would see that day. I personally could have used 16 tracks, since im a vet in making beats, so I had more to put together in the track, but had leave a bit out. Oh well, its still an awsome mixer since anyone can use it, and the sound quality is superb.
Anyways im off to try to get people on my myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/keppen2007)to vote on my Widget. I get over 3 thousand visitors a day there, but I swear I cant get more than a handfull a day to vote ;/. Oh well, if I have to sit there and vote for myself for a bit I will, even though thats EXTREMELY boring.
Anyways good luck peeps and it should be cool to see who makes it to the top 100. Keppen

By the way I forgot yo mention what a great idea you had there DJCHUNG! Very smart promotional tool. I wish I had a webcam or something to take vids, because I would definitely use that avenue also. Hope it is working well. Word to Big Bird.
Thanks Keppen I appreciate the comment! I acutally just used a small iSight camera for my Mac, kinda weak resolution but I figured it gets the point across.
Best of luck!!
Keppen Yeah, understand your frustration, but you are doing all you can the right way...so all you can do is hope for the best. I'm just doing what I can without any kind of manipulation. Keeping yourself up there in the listing should be enough to get you noticed on the site regardless. So keep bangin and good luck to all of us.
Always gotta self promote..so just click my name to see what I do and listen to my entry.....

Admin,
Just a suggestion. When you listen to the 100 tracks for selection. I've noticed on some of my mixes that certain parts are missing. Will you go to the subscribers page to listen when you make the final listen or listen on the Listen Lab? I noticed that if I load the track twice, you get the full track but I don't want to resubmit the track again for fear I would lose all my votes.
For example, the last third of my deep bass is missing from, "Lebron Indie"...
Yea I also noticed the music player can be faulty at times. Either the instruments will be off rhythmically or they're completely absent.
I guess we can only hope for the best...
Yeah. The Listen Lab is still a bit buggy on track playback. I've yelled at my agency a lot to correct the issues, but we have so much going on.
Know that when we count the votes and go to select the top 100 for the judging panel to review, we will pull the mp3 files from the site code and then host on a private server for the judges.
admin
Great admin!!! Thanks.
It sucks to think that many tracks may not get heard becusesome people are rigging the voting but I will continue to try and get as many as possible. When you have a chance listen into my tracks... They are under the artist D-LO. After hearing the top 5 tracks that have votes from widget tracking I have to say they are no where near many I am hearing on the most recent especially mine. Good Luck to all and keep making the music. If you want to hear my tracks I can email them to. Send a message to DJDLO@Comcast.net
Admin,
How is the voting counted? As a whole from widget and site or will you shoose the top 50 from widget and top 50 from site?
THIS IS DJUNDAGROUND.... I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE WHOLE MUSIC IDEA, BUT.... THE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING LIKE IT SHOULD BE WORKING. THE BEATS ARE SOMETIMES OFF, WHEN I GO TO LISTEN TO MY BEATS THEY DON'T PLAY LIKE THE WAY I MADE THEM. I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING CHEATED FROM THIS CONTEST BECAUSE I HAVE DA HOTTEST BEATS ON THIS SITE!! AND NOBODY REALLY KNOW THIS BECAUSE THE SITE IS NOT PLAYING THEM RIGHT. PEOPLE!! DO A SEARCH ON ME "DJUNDAGROUND" WITH DA CAPS ON & LISTEN. I PROMISE U WON'T REGET IT!

LeBron, this contest is a great opportunity for us unknown producers working under the radar. I've been in the game for awhile and I appreciate you and Sprite for reaching out to the masses! It's a lot of talent out here, but you won't know unless you look!

I would also like to thank Lebron, Paul Wall, Sprite and everyone involved in this contest.
I have been spending every waking moment, after working 12 hours at my "job", trying to get votes to make it to the top 100. I hope I make it. I see a lot of people with more votes than me, so I guess all I can do is try my hardest, and ofcourse pray. If its meant to be, it is, If not, well then I will have to find another way to get my foot in the door to the music and entertainment industry.
No matter what, I WILL get my foot in the door, and when I do, I WILL kick the damn thing wide open!! Anyways anyone that wants to hear my one and only submission, it is called "Ballin' by KEPPEN, and also check me out at myspace -
http://www.myspace.com/keppen2007
Good luck to everyone. One of us is going to be a very lucky person. But I have to think that even though there will be 1 winner, others could possibly get their foot in the door through other avenues, directly from this contest. We have the ears of some major players in the entertainment industry while in this contest, so who knows. Anythings possible right? Keep on pushin is my motto.
Anyways Im Audi 5000 cuz I gotta hop on myspace and promote promote promote! Check me out when you guys can. Peace, Keppen

Hi, IF you're not sure what to do with the shoes, I am involved in a very important hospital fundraiser and we would love to auction off a pair of them... It's for kids with cancer. akron, Ohio Let me know. Iguanahim@aol.com
I wanna thank LeBron, Sprite, Paul Wall, Perion, and the rest of the crew for giving the unheard a voice, and us crabs at the bottom of the barrel a chance to shine! I've listened to several tracks in the Listen Lab and I'm impressed with the talent that's bubbling up and ready to overflow! This was a great opportunity to not only display talent, but to also network with other producers across the globe, and I've made a few friends along the way! So let me say this to my fellow producers, let's stay in touch and continue to support one another. Remember, a win for one is a win for all! Holla at your man!
