                Introduction

Whasup this is the intro to RBL Posse a rap group from the streets of Hunters Point.This will update you and tell you anything you want to know.   

1)What's up with the new album Hostile Takover?        

What was really up with RBL Posse's new album "Hostile Takeover" was just on a whole other level than the 1st and 2nd releases.This was just about RBL Posse and there record label and young acts,this time they had no features and represented the sco to the fullest.Even tho RBL made some changes they still came with that Gangster/Funky style of flow.Black C says that the reason that he did not feature anybody on this latest album is because everytime he feature sombody on his stuff they wouldn't show the love back and help him out.

.

Why wasn't there any platinum albums? Black C says that all they were focusing on was "Ghetto Platinum",and that they were not getting love yet worldwide and that it was just on some bay music.Even though RBL Posse did not have platinum albums they still got as much love as the average rap artists.

2)  What were the features on the new album?

Black C said that there weren't any features because evrey time he showed homies love and put them on his album they never returned the favor in respect to what he had did for them.I believe that i would do the same thing by just not helping out other homies but your own.

3)How many records did the second album sell?

It sold more than the first album this album sold about over 20,000 records and there boss had promised them that if the second album sold more than the first that they would get a bonus in which they did not get.



 

                                      

How many records did RBL's first album sell?

Rap in Hunters Point

The Freshman release titled A Lesson To Be Learned from RBL sold over 200,000 copies,this was one of the best bay area albums to drop.RBL Posse and there first album went ghetto platinum according to Black C,even tho there only remains Black C he still gos on to rap. The rap group RBL consisted of Hitman,Mr.Cee and Black C,there now only remains Black C who is not totally all by himself,with probably new member Prime Minister who is likely to join and back up Black C on the mic.With the groups that remain on the right way productions label RBL will have nothing to worry about and i hope that they can release another platinum album to showcase how truly there flow is.

             Closing Paragraph

I have learned about how difficult the rap and music buissness is and how much talent you have to have and how hard you will have to work to get where you need to go and live your dream.I want to be arapper and the reason i chose this topic is because i wanted to learn from someone who is in the music buisness how to get there.

My Research has been going great,at first i was having a little trouble but now i am doing just fine.

I am almost done,but am still thinking about changing the questions because they are hard to find answers for.The SFPL junk is dum and it don't even work real good.Next time can i please go to google because this SFPL junk is dum,and also i was wondering if i could do pictures or not on my stuff.My research is going alright even tho this SFPL junk  did not really work good i'm gonna try to get to OPAC because it might work better than SF stinkin PL.Iwas doing the work and almost finished.

Iam doing real good and it has been going really good on the I-search Notes.I have some summaries but they are not all the way finished yet,Today i was Reading,Pausing,and Retelling.Iwas a little board but i stuck through it and didn't goof off like sometimes,but you could say i got a little less work cone today.

Today in reading class i was doing good despite my lack of typing skills,But anyway i got half-way done but if i get tomorow to do it i think that i could finish.This is pretty easy and i will defintely deserve an A+ on this project Ms.Turnbull.Can you get that book called The Family :A Phladelphia Mob Story okay.

I have been working on my notes and if i put my mind to it i think that i could finish this tomorrow.I have finally narrowed it down to one topic which is the Chuck D article about the old school hip hop and the new school.He talks about how different they are and stuff.4/8/03

I shouldn't have done that because itwas rude and bad.

                             5/20/03
