The author of this info file (at least, part of it) is written by none other than meatpod, formerly of Serial Ascii. Why am I writing this, you ask? I've never really been down with the K, nor do I plan to be in the near future. I don't even like rap. However, I did feel like it might be a trip, so here it is. A lot of things have happened in the scene since the dispersal of Serial (which didn't happen for the reasons you think it did, I assure you). Groups have sprung up, died, muchos shit has gone down, my brothers. One thing that hasn't changed is that kW!a continues to release quality shit. kWEST has always been a place where skilled artists gathered to put out their work -- always original, laid-back but never limp, and strongly opinionated. This month's pack is perhaps a little smaller than last months, but don't let this fool you -- It's smooth shit, gets you right in the face. So throw it up for cain and friends, united as kWEST. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ* note from Cain, word up Jules. I'll take it from here. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ It's good to know, for me anyways, that Kwest is all about friendship. Scene domination is easy enough for me to handle, but I don't want it. I don't have enough support these days as it is. And the amount of people jacking on me, is NUTS->Ie; Black Jack; whatever, mr. Icandopicsbutbackgroundsandfontsare-abovemyskillasanasciiartist, why don't you 1) hit puberty 2) expand your skills then we'll talk about you talking shit to me, ok?. Good. Tek, sorry for jacking on you so hard, it's not as bad as I thought it was, my baad. I tried to form an ascii scene powerhouse, fuck that. A good many of youturned your back on me because I tried, and killed kwest without asking you, and once it re-formed, you decided to stay gone. I know at least one person is trying to stay with Kwest, big ups --> you know who you are. But as for the restof you, pfft; Do you have any respect for me? Kwest? Your homes in kwest stand, forever.. but again, refer to the question. Quit dualling, it's annoying, I sit back and watch the ascii scene now that I can just chill in Kwest, and as myself and The Don have discussed, everyone in the ascii scene, is in every goddam group. Did anyone seen phunk!a? yeah..every person in that group is in 6 groups, pfft.. Let's see some serious competition here. Scrooe this scene unity your all trying for, get at each others necks, rip into each other, start fights.. who cares? I would much rather see that, then this sissy bullshit. I have to apologize for jumping all over the place, but it's all just hitting me now as I write this up. The scene is about group pride, where the hell is yours? KWESTSIIIIIIIIIDE. I should thank Sargon for being such a troublemaker; he had the scene on it's fucking toes as long as Serial was alive. By the waay, big ups to all you ex-serialers, I hated you, but I guess that is the point eh?. You see, the basic point of this is; LET'S SEE SOME FUCKING ASCII. NOT POINTLESS BITCHING, AND BITING, AND FAKING, AND JACKING, GET ORIGINAL, GET FUCKING NUTS. I've been here for two years, I've kept it real, most of the people I affiliate myself with keep it real, you do it *TOO*. It's easy. Every one person, pick a group that is 'competing' (odelay, remorse, phunk.. WHATEVER) JOIN IT, (AND ONLY THAT GROUP) and release ascii with them. BAM, we have an ascii scene back. The way I see it now, the scene is in shambles. Kwest, however will remain neutral, and giggle at you until you separate, and get some bloody competition. We are tired of seeing the same art in every pack; get some flavour, get some style.. find some fucking pride. Time for the news. ------------------ * Acid Jack - Never drops in kwest, what the hell are you thinking? * Baltazar - YO, Uhh, get on IRC, talk to me.. * Blindman - Still pissed off at hOlocaust, I think. * Cain - Yeah, I'm here.. check the shit this month. * Discyple - (Kind of) Coming to his senses, expect him back soon?. * Endless Nameless - Computer is on the fritz, can't do much without RAM. * Haji - Woo, drops an ascii in the pack, it's phat too. * Mass Murderer - HE'S BAAACK. Word up bro. * Necromancer - Uhh.. * OmicroN - He never draws, why would you expect him to up and draw now? * Pariah - To much DJ'ing get's to your head. * Polypropz/morph - AMAZING BUT TRUE; Polypropz drops an ascii in the 5th Kwest!* theProdigy - Has left the building, for sure now. * Purify - Time difference, has to be.. * The Masked Marauder - Signed his contract, and then dissapeared. * Biogenesis - Young blood represents Kwest in his sleep, rock on. * Unsane - I'd love to see you, around, over there, upside down..whatever. * Nahal - Just got back from Russia, no ascii\women\drugs..poor HIM. * Savage Dragon sides with the Kwestsiide, and drops a mad tutorial in the pack.* Sargon, Martz, aXB, Mjay and Risu drop guest hits. * Risu says good-bye to the scene this month, good journey brother. * MHZ, aka; BUGSY THE DON will now be producing Kwest, or something. He's gonna drop the occasional ascii every once in a while. * All members are affiliated with Kwest label in one way or another; Guest, or permanent artist; Some may guest more than once on any occasion. * If I forgot you, forgive me, I'm really confused with who is in kwest, and whoisn't. MY PEOPLE IF YOU WITH ME WHERE THE FUCK YOU AT? Let me know, drop a line at djc@nitehawkis.com to let me know if your staying in Kwest, that goes for EVERYBODY. Please, seriously consider what I've said in this file. Cain-one, out. KWESSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE!
