Diggin' in the Crates
Retired [X2] Human

<img src="/FUMBBL/Images/Player/150/150702.jpg" border="2"><br>
This team is a homage to some of my personal favourite hip-hop/rap artists over the past 20 years. Although there are many more that also deserve a mention (some will come into the team in future) this includes a lot of the ones who have brought me much musical enjoyment.

The name 'Diggin in the Crates' comes from the name of an act formed by hip-hop legend 'Diamond D' (team captain) who was also in 'Ultimate Force' and the 'Omen'. He has also gained production kudos, on selected albums/tracks, for other acts such as 'A Tribe Called Quest', 'The Fugees', 'Mos Def', 'Brand Nubian', 'Busta Rhymes', 'Ed O.G. & Da Bulldogs', 'Fat Joe', 'House of Pain', 'KRS-One', 'Lord Finesse & DJ Mike Smooth', 'Pharoahe Monch', 'Showbiz and A.G', 'Tha Alkaholiks', 'The Pharcyde', 'Xzibit' and 'Aim'.

The full members list of the group 'D.I.T.C.' was:
'Showbiz and A.G.', 'Big L (deceased)', 'Buckwild', 'Diamond D', 'Fat Joe', 'Lord Finesse', and 'O.C.'

The name also has a personal reference to the fact that i have music showcasing all of the team members in my record collection (i.e. 'The Crates').

I can assure you, that while i do like some modern hip-hop/rap music i will not be including many of it's so called stars (i.e. the 'G-Unit's of this world). Mainly this is because i feel that many of the top hip-hop/rap acts now are nothing more than self promoting, product banners (like a billboard) and lifestyle selling ego maniacs that promote little, other than some of the most unpleasant parts of modern society. Shame on them, in my eyes.

I believe this is the main reason that the music world is flooded with acts that act in a reprehensible way, trying to look cool but just mudddying the waters between hip-hop/rap and r&b, rarely ever coming close to producing something that could live up to the genuine greats of both/either musical genres. This in turn promotes the new hopefuls of tomorrow to want to be like these acts, thus further driving the art away from where it should be, either going or staying, in the future.

Still to come: Q-Tip, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes, Dr Dre, Lord Finesse, Redman, Method Man, O.C., Big L, Big Pun, Buckwild, Showbiz and A.G.

If you are reading this and want to put others forward for consideration then feel free to P.M. me. If i agree with their credentials they will be added to the list with a mention for the person who put them forward to be future Blood-Bowl greats in the team 'D.I.T.C.'
