A letter from Tipwell

The following is an excerpt from a 'A Letter from Tipwell', originally posted in the Mouth of the SOUF eNewsletter.

To the artists: ...we've faithfully stood by yall, believing in your music. WSOUF is now, more than ever, committed to starting your buzz. Keep riding with us. We won't steer you wrong. We've continuously provided artists and managers what we, and the goon squad (the WSOUF think tank), think of their music. If we think its good we let you know. If we don't, you get a picture of me laughing at you and your lack of creativity, holding up a sign that says: "What the f**k was that?"


To our listeners: ...we know you've enjoyed what you've been hearing. From Semyhr's Sweat Shop Show to the Den Of Iniquity with me. From AV's Southern Hospitality to Satuhde Knight Live with Tig Knight.

A wise man once told me that a great entertainer always knows his audience, which got me to thinking, "Who are we creating art for?" Of course, ourselves, but beyond that-we want to know who our audience is. The Grateful Dead calls their audience 'Deadheads.' Michael Richards calls his audience 'Ni**ers!.' Who are the fans of WSOUF? And what do we call them?
...we're dedicated to keep rolling, bringing you the new new hotness. Banging tracks from the best in the South, whether mainstream or underground. We are out to prove that the South aint all gold teeth, chains and spinning rims. We play all genre's of Hip-Hop from the south (as long as its good, don't get it twisted).

To the beloved staff and DJs: Thanks for making this movement the best thing to happen to Southern Hip-Hop since Getto Boys "Mind Playin Tricks On Me". We are here to take this thing to the top and keep us on top, pullin' kickdoes on everybody else out there misrepresenting.

To our supporters: We definitely appreciate everything you do. Fan mail, random acts of crunkness, including us within your network, we are thankful for each and every somebody that has helped WSOUF in front of and behind the scenes.


To the haters: We see yall, keep hating while we get our grind on. We're established now, f**k with it.!
