║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ Well, what to say. After bringing you the biggest release ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ of 1999 a few days ago, Mariah Carey's Rainbow, Team RNS ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ strikes again and brings you the most anticipated hip-hop ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ album of the decade. It's been a long wait (since 1992, in ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ fact), but RNS is here to ease your pain by bringing you ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ this title nearly 3 weeks before its much delayed street ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ date. Needless to say, the album has been closely guarded, ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ which is why we were unable to bring it to you before now, ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ but as everyone expected, RNS pulled through in the end. ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ I originally hadn't planned to say anything about the album ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ itself, but I will just take a moment to say that this is ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ arguably one of the best hip-hop albums I've ever heard. If║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ you agree with me, and I'm quite sure that you will, I urge ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ you to support this artist by purchasing his album once it ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ is available in stores. ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ To our friends in other groups who have felt compelled to ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ disband, unable to deal with the iron fist that is RNS, our ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ warmest wishes to you in whatever ventures you may pursue. ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ To those hoping to create an MP3 supergroup, may I remind ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ you, one already exists... we call it RNS. While we herald ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ the existence of a new group of friends interested in ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ cooperation rather than competition, we also hope they ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ haven't lost touch with reality. ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ Much respect to G. Litt for helping Team RNS get the hookup ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ like Master P... all the haters need to recognize and stop ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ talking so much bullshit. Get your foot out of your mouth ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ before I replace it with my own. ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ Team RNS would like to offer a very warm welcome to some of ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ our newest members, including Darwin, Oipunk, Quipster, ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ V-MaN, RichyRich, DJPhenomenon, and Krenz. We know you will║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ all become invaluable members of our team. ║ ║ ║

║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ Since 1996, Rabid Neurosis has been dedicated to releasing ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ the highest-quality, cutting-edge MP3s in the online music ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ community. With an average of nearly 6000 releases per ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ year, RNS is untouchable both in terms of quantity and ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ quality of releases. Many of the largest releases in the ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ music world were released by RNS long before their official ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ street date. We pride ourselves on ensuring that our ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ releases encompass every musical genre, from pop, to ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ hip-hop, to jazz, to house, to alternative, and back again. ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ Do you think you have what it takes to be part of Team RNS? ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ RNS is currently looking for: ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ - T3+/40GB+ siteops running a *nix-based OS ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ - cable/ADSL+ rippers on the east coast or in the EU ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ willing to do store pickups every Tuesday morning ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ - individuals with access to music prior to its official ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ retail release date ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ - hardware suppliers ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ - individuals with a skill useful to the group -- we're ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ always looking for new ways to better RNS ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ If you fall into any of these categories, please ask to ║ ║ ║
