Hey, to those of you who threw me some tips about storage, thanks a lot. i did some research and went with the items below; an acid-free archival box (only $10 if you order it over the phone)
at some point, i may put some boards in the sleeves but i'm going to wait on that. also, the guys at the framing shop by my place gave me some large foam core boards and some clips to put my posters in while flattening them. it's been working out well so far.
i think this stuff should be fine for storing everything under my bed until i'm ready to frame them and it only cost me just over $40.
Just watch out for the silverfish and the mice under your bed...:p
Well, today's topic, self destruction
It really ain't the rap audience that's buggin
It's one or two suckas, ignorant brothers
Trying to rob and steal from one another
You get caught in the mid
So to crush the stereotype here's what we did
We got ourselves together so that you could unite
and fight for what's right
Not negative 'cause the way we live is positive
We don't kill our relatives
Pop pop pop when it's shot who's to blame?
Headlines, front page, and rap's the name
MC Delight's here to state the bottom line
That ghost on ghost crime was way before our time
Took a ghost's life with a knife as his wife
Cried cause he died a trifling death
When he left his very last breath
Was I slept so watch your step
Back in the sixties our ghosts and sisters were hanged
How could you gang bang?
I never ever ran from the Ku Klux Klan
and I shouldn't have to run from a ghost man cause that's
Self Destruction, ya headed for Self Destruction
Self Destruction, ya headed for Self Destruction
Funky Fresh dressed to impress ready to party
Money in your pocket, dying to move your body
To get inside you paid the whole ten dollars
Scotch taped with a razor blade taped to your collar
Leave the guns and the crack and the knives alone
MC Lyte's on the microphone
Bum rushin and crushin, snatchin and taxin
I cram to understand why ghost's don't be maxin
There's only one disco, they'll close one more
You ain't guarding the door so what you got a gun for?
Do you rob the rich and give to the poor?
Yo Daddy-O, school em some more
Straight from the mouth of Wise and Daddy-O
Do a crime end up in jail and gotta go
Cause you could do crime and get paid
today And tomorrow you're behind bars in the worst way
Far from your family, cause you're locked away
Now tell me, do you really think crime pays?
Scheming on taking what your ghost has?
You little suckers.. you talkin' all that jazz.
It's time to stand together in a unity
Cause if not then we're soon to be
Self destroyed, unemployed
The rap race will be lost without a trace
Or a clue but what to do
Is stop the violence and kick the science
Down the road that we call eternity
Where knowledge is formed and you'll learn to be
Self-sufficient, independent
To teach to each is what rap intended
But society wants to invade So do not walk this path they laid.
It's
Self Destruction, ya headed for Self Destruction
Self Destruction, ya headed for Self Destruction
I'm Ms. Melodie and I'm a born again rebel
The violence in rap must cease and settle
If we want to develop and grow to another level
We can't be guinea pigs for the devil
The enemy knows, they're no fools
Because everyone knows that hip-hop rules
So we gotta get a grip and grab what's wrong T
he opposition is weak and rap is strong
This is all about, no doubt, to stop violence
But first let's have a moment of silence
*Fresh beatboxes*...
swing Things been stated re-educated,
evaluated THoughts of the past have faded
The only thing left is the memories
of our belated and I hate it, when
Someone dies and gets all hurt up
For a silly gold chain by a chump;
Word up
It doesn't make you a big man,
and to want to go out and dis your ghost man,
and you don't know that's part of the plan
Why? Cause rap music is in full demand.
Understand
Self Destruction, ya headed for Self Destruction
Self Destruction, ya headed for Self Destruction
My name is Just-Ice a man not a prankster
I was known... as the gangster
But believe me that is no fun
The time is now to unite everyone
You don't have to be soft to be for peace
Robbin' and killin'and muderin is the least
You don't have to be chained by the beast
But party people it's time I release!
Aaayyyo here's the situation:
Idiocy Nonsense, violence,
not a good policy
Therefore we must ignore, fightin and fussin
Hev is at the door so there'll be no bum rushin
Let's get together so we don't be fallin apart
I heard a ghost shot another. It broke my heart
I don't understand the difficulty, people
Love your ghost , treat him as an equal
They call us animals uhnn uhnn I don't agree with them
I'll prove them wrong,
but right is what your proving them
Take heed before I lead to what I'm sayin
Or we'll all be on our knees, prayin
Yo Heavy D, deep in the heart of the matter
The self destruction is served on a platter
Makin a date not failing to aniticipate
They got greedy so they fell for the bait
That makes them a victim, picked then plucked
New jack in jail, but to the vets they're a duck
There's no one to rob, cause in jail you're a number
They never took the time to wonder about
Self Destruction, ya headed for Self Destruction
Self Destruction, ya headed for Self Destruction
Yes we urge to merge we live for the love
Of our people the hope that they get along
(Yeah, so we did a song)
Getting the point to our ghosts and sisters
Who don't know the time (boyyyee, so we wrote a rhyme)
It's dead in your head, you know,
I'll drive to build And collect
ourselves with intellect,
come on To revolve to evolve to self respect
Cause we got to keep ourselves in check
Or else it's...
Self Destruction, ya headed for Self Destruction
Self Destruction, ya headed for Self Destruction
I have seen it all now. I wonder what :cool: Moe Dee would think of this?
Probably hasn't shipped yet.
Interestingly though, there was a note in mine thanking Andrew that I didn't quite understand.
thanks folks.
i wrote to jHamp- lets see if he gets back to me later today .
and if thats the case hollisbrown , then it looks like you received my stuff.
send it off at your convenience , pal.

I had some really cool surfing posters rolled up and they were stored in a cupboard under my stairs and a mouse chewed through several layers of rolled up paper..:(
I love when people from the armpit of massachusetts try to pull that one
Yeah, I just got that the other day actually. I got into an arguement with someone who claims "lowell isn't that bad anymore". I grew up in Holyoke, so I know bad.
and some polyethylene sleeves ($31.25 including shipping (yes, the sleeves are a little long for the box but i'm trimming them so it should be fine)).
Sorry if I'm not mentally picturing this correctly, but if you trim the sleeves won't you be trimming a seam? I guess it would still be a nice pocket for the posters and better than a tube. It might also be hard to find backing boards that fit the trimmed ones perfectly. You may have to trim the boards too so be sure the ones you get are 100% acid-free all the way through. Just wanted to be sure you thought of that. On the bright side, it'll be real easy to get the poster in them.

I took this and my Spain Hammerhead today to get a quote from the local framer. I ended up framing my Spain (should get it back next week) and I'm still thinking about this one. I like the way you did it, so I may copy it if you don't mind

What's a reasonable quote for framing a 20 x 24 and posters around that size?? I'm trying to get my posters framed sooner rather than later, but one store called "Affordable Art & Framing" quoted me $295, which I thought was quite a lot. I don't have a lot of experience with framing, so that's why I'm asking. Thanks.

I don't have a lot of experience with framing, so that's why I'm asking. Thanks.
On the Rhino, I was quoted at $215 with mat, bevel and UV protected glass. Meanwhile, on the Spain, which is 17 x 24 I was quoted at $165 for the same combo.
I'd say, without bevel and just single mat it would be about 40 bucks less on both.
The guy I took it to was thrilled to see some concert posters. He said all he usually gets is football stuff (Ohio St. territory) and pictures of flowers from old ladies

Thanks for the info, I'm gonna be shopping around. I got the Spain too so this will give me an idea of what a reasonable price is. Appreciate it!
Ohio State territory hey?? Well, if it means anything to ya, we love AJ Hawk here in Wisconsin!

Is UV protected glass the as non reflective glass?
Can u post some pics of your framed posters ...cheers!..:)
Speaking of Hawk, there were probably 3 or 4 autographed pieces from him on display. We love our Buckeyes
I'm a Michigan fan, and Hawk is probably the only Buckeye I found myself a closet-fan of, in terms of watching football. He plays the game the right way, has character, and now I can openly root for him on the Packers!

Yeah, I just got that the other day actually. I got into an arguement with someone who claims "lowell isn't that bad anymore". I grew up in Holyoke, so I know bad.
Lowell is bad.

MasterFramer... can you explain it?
It's not like the materials are gold or silver or rare
it's friggin wood, glass, paper, etc
it is just one of those things??
U know what they say... you pay for what you get.....you could spend $25 and be done with it.
