║ ║ ║ What can I possibly say about this release... again, RNS ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ hits you off with one of the hottest releases this year, ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ nearly a month before it hits the stores. Don't be fooled ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ by those fake-ass groups out there putting out promos and ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ telling you that it's the album. When you get it from RNS ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ you only get the best... you know that Nas won't be dissing ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ us on his website tommorow. ║ ║ ║

║ ║ ║ off as full retail, short by 3 tracks), Mantronix, Lisa Lisa ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ & The Cult Jam; all that is just what I can recall at the ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ present time. This doesn't count all the major compilations ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ or big cd singles that we've done either; that would take ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ another list about the size of the one above, and you guys ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ have had enough of a realization by now of who's in charge ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ here. ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ Now I'm not trying to say we won on every release that has ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ever come out; I do realize you pick up the scraps we leave ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ behind for you guys. That's respectable, but don't even try ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ to say you own us - that's plain ridiculous. I mean, really,║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ just take a very close look; front in public all you feel is ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ necessary, but inside you know you're laughing yourself to ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ death every time you say it... I mean, I get the joke - it is║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ in fact, very funny. I laugh every time I see it, so does ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ every other person in the scene, so unless you're looking to ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ be a bunch of comedians, how about you stop with the jokes? ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ Then some of the few rippers that bother to do anything for ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ your group for some reason get this idea that they're big bad║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ asses when they manage to get a release out before us. You ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ see, you are letting some major things slip your minds; we ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ sit here and release and release and release and release but ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ we don't scream for all the world to hear when we manage to ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ get our releases out way before the competition. Why? ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ Because it's not shocking - that's how we do things around ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ here - it's not a rare occasion on which we beat you to ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ releases, so we don't feel the strange need to try and bring ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ attention to our group. We're not gay like you - we're ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ confident in what we do - still, we had to make this one last║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ exception just to make a few things very clear. I do ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ apologize for having to do this last matter of business so ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ publically, but for some reason you guys really seemed to be ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ believing this strange fantasy that you were, heh, better ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ than us. Hahahaha... you guys are always good for a laugh, ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ thanks for being there for us! ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ And a few words on that stunt that was pulled earlier on D** ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ with the EDTV soundtrack; included with this release is ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ EDTV_OST-RNS.TXT, which is a log of what went down on said ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ site yesterday; track 13 was deleted, dir was renamed & now, ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ heh, you "win" on there because of it? Nope, sorry, isn't ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ going to cut it; racing releases is fine, cheating so you can║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ win on a site is plain fucked up, and I hope for all groups' ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ sake that whoever the motherfucker is that did this is taken ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ off the site, and that they are removed from the group; well,║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ that is, unless the group condones this kind of behaviour, in║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ which case I am not sure what the hell to think... anyways, ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ read log, make of it what you will, but this better get ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ fixed. ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ And who are these trials doing your new releases the last few║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ weeks? Do the work yourselves, don't pawn it off on trials. ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ Respect to all those in the scene doing their thing in a ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ responsible, honest manner. ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ We do realize it's not the entire group, just a few who have ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ chosen to fuck it up for everyone. Wish there was a way to ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ spare the good guys from the gayness. ║ ║ ║

║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ Rabid Neurosis was established in 1995 and since 1996 we have║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ been dedicated to bringing the highest possible quality to ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ the mp3 community. It is rumored that we only rip rap, hip ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ hop, and r&b, well, this is simply a rumor, granted that ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ this type of music is the mainstream at the moment, so of ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ course a lot of this genre is going to get done, but we do ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ other types of music (rock, ska, punk, techno, bootlegs, pop,║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ etc) as well. Currently we are not looking for any members ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ unless you have some exceptional background in either the mp3║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ warez or iso scene and/or have something exceptional to offer║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ to the group (pre-release ripper, t3/linux/30gb+ us/euro Site║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ Op, or hardware supplier) if you fall into that category drop║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ by #rns on efnet and talk to one of the seniors about joining║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ or mail the president Al Capone (Capone@rns.org) note: we are║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ NOT seeking any artists or couriers period. ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ [Other News] ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ Zero Music Inc. is RNS's official couriers (irc/ext ftp). The║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ reason for doing this is that it was felt by us, that RNS ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ should be focusing on releasing and not the mass distribution║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ of our music, they will handle the xdcc's and ftp couriering ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ to sites outside of RNS to benefit those not within the group║ ║ ║
