mellowman
« on: December 28, 2006, 03:21:37 PM »
I remember years back when I was very active on the board there was this mystery figure mellowman who apparently worked for aftermath that talked to us alot. whatever became of him? anyone ever decide what his deal was and who he was?

was just looking through some old posts of his and it's funny. in one of his last posts on the board he said "Keep up the hard work and you'll get some bigger doggs" snoop....d.o.c...yep....

he also said if OMG falls through, he would leave AM and that was right around the time it all fell apart and he stopped coming to the board. it was 2003, right?

He's been on a couple times since then, as "mellowmanisback" I think.

Dude was an imposter.  We've gone over this many times in the past.
"Detox" is a myth -- Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Area 51, Iraq having WMD, Detox...you get it now?  It was invented by the Aftermath marketing department to maintain the fans' attention.  Notice how everytime a new Aftermath album is ready to come out, they always mention Detox is next up?  Because they are using the invention of "Detox" as a way to market other albums.  The sooner you realize that Detox is NOT REAL, the sooner you'll feel liberated.  Oh yeah, f.u. Aftermath for fooling us fans.

Dude was a fake.  He never really said anything.  Basically "Detox will change the game forever", "Detox will be in 5.1 DSS".  I don't know how so many people thought he was legit.

WTF makes you guys think he's fake. He would only say as much as he was allowed to, without getting himself in trouble. From my understanding it was Mike Elizondo. But hey, thats just me...

yeah he did say "nothing" at times but he has a track record of enough proven-to-be-true things  (you'll get some bigger doggs, he left the board around 03 when OMG/rakim fell through in perfectr corroborations with what he was saying etc.)here and there for me to believe he's just very low on the AM food chain which is why he seems illegit.

He isn't fake at all.. I mean nobody can reveal infos on Detox , even the D.O.C... just read some of his posts and it's obvious he worked with Dre..

i love how people say he was fake yet their post record states they probably werent here when he did post for us. and your right, shit like this is what made him stop posting in the first place
Hittman is not a real person. He was a computer program generated by Dr. Dre and Mel Man back in the mid 90's. When Dre started treating Mel-Man like shit, Mel infiltrated the computer and put a virus in the hittman program

^ and  muthafuckas who wouldnt let it lie (INFINITE) and muthafuckas who took what he said and posted it on their sites.. as being from Mel-man.. who mellowman said he isnt many times.. and the same muthafucka BOMBING mellowman's private messages begging for interviews and hookups n shit (both the same muthafucka.. chris aka dedicato@aftermathmusic)..


problem with what dedicato did is that the BBC saw it posted on his wack ass site.. which at the time was trying to look like it was the REAL aftermath site by saying something like "your official aftermath source" (ripping off someone elses's tagline wc2k's i think).. the BBC didnt realise this and posted that "mel-man said blah blah".. they never creditted dubcc.. just said it was the official aftermath site posting that shit.. which it wasnt.. just another one of these wack news sites that dont write they own material..

shady as fuck.. sorry this gotta be dragged up again.. but the truth is.. if you wanna know where the dude went blame dedicato first and foremost.. and blame infinite second.

Wassup, man?

I started helping out with www.Aftermathmusic.com about a year and a half ago, so I don't know what went on in the past and I can't speak on it. But since I've worked with Chris I've been writing all the news I'd get, not copy it. If anything was copied from another fansite, the source would be mentioned. Like I said, I can't speak on what happened before I joined, but as far as I know, Dubcc and any other unofficial site has been credited. Chris and I both know who mellowman is (and YES he IS legit) so we never made claims that he was Mel-Man (atleast not since I started with the site).

As for the news, it is legit. Chris and I both have sources and mellowman himself testified to that on this board. Shit, Chris even spoke with him a few months ago and it's all gravy. There have been instances when Aftermathmusic.com revealed exclusive info and other sites copied it and never gave due credit. That type of shit happens to every site, but is it really that serious? I've never tripped over the times people took my info without giving credit. Most of us are fans of Hip Hop (and music in general) and some of us enjoy the whole web-site/forum thing. I'm just saying that people shouldn't get mad or start disrespecting others over shit like this, it's just music. It's fun to have debates and arguments, but it should all be fun... not bitter.

Anyways, I'm happy to be a member of this board, I love checkin' the site and I highly respect what people like Nima are doing. I also enjoy what I do with Aftermathmusic and it's board. Fuck it's my birthday and I'm in a good mood  8)

Happy New Year to all of you! I hope yall had a good and safe holiday season, and happy Eid to Muslims online.

PEACE
