FIVE

It Feels Great to finally reach 5k. I know compared to alot of others it's not alot but it's a milestone for me. I been here since I was 13. I feel that this is just another page in my SI Legacy haha. Even though it doesn't really show my expirience here at SI. I'm one of the members that have been here the longest. When I first got here I remember people used to ask me whether my username was Stunna or Tunna. When I first got here I was posting too much too fast and they started callin me a spammer and ish but lookin but on it those were good times haha. I'll be the first to admit in 07 I slowed my activeness down but I came back. I feel that I am the Kanye West of SI. Not becuase of cockieness or arrogance but from the fact that I'm usually looked over when it comes to the talks of the greatest. Just like Kanye my big brother is hailed as one of the GOAT (TYO) and others I've seen and gotten to know have all been given credit where it's due (Maple, Jarrod, Rip, BB, Greg, Pugz). I have respect for everyone I've met here. I remember when X was always gettin picked on for being the youngest here. Then how me and him started up Hustla's Ambition (Our duo in the lil Debate League and yeah nobody wanted to partner with the youngest or one of the newest so we were stuck with each other haha but it all turned out well).I feel like I've seen it all. I was a member of the Sportz Enquirers. One of SI's Best Article Teams...Well....Ever haha. I was there when CB4 and Lakerfan (My mentors at the time) were both banned. I can proudly say that I was the one that made sure they didn't ban The Young One (At that time they changed his username to "The Dumb One" and No it was not his request either) during the Vick arguements. Not to mention I've had a hand in alot of SI's biggest articles during the time of the Article Team. I originated the "15 questions with" Interview Articles. Me and Young were the ones who brought the first SI Rap Comparisons List" to the board (Which Was EPIC. I wish we could do another more updated one).
Just things like that are memories about SI that I will never forget. Now SI has a whole new era of people. Just like the change in the rap game. Alotta of the people that were here when I got here left and some of them are still around. I knew the whole new era of SI was starting as soon as I saw Greg and Pugz starting to get their post counts up. That was when I was like "Whoa, we got guys I never heard of starting to get known". From then on things changed. The different things on SI came and left. Members came and left. It was the beginning of a new age for SI and even me as a person at that time in my life. Now I can talk to more newcomers like Rios, Snipes, Yezzir, Gety, Brakos, etc. They make me feel like a legend haha. Other then that I guess I'm done for telling a piece of the story of $tunna. I guess I don't have enough post to be counted when it comes to HOF voting but when it comes to who's been around the longest and put in the most work I think I deserve a small mention here and there.
Last but certainly not least I just want to speak on the fact that I never win board awards.... What's up with that? Alot of the awards we make are so oriented towards GFX and I know we gotta give awards to the active members but dag yo its been like 4 BAs since I got here and Zero awards. I'm greatful for my nominations tho =] (Even tho theres not alot). I just think we gotta give out a couple more awards that ANYBODY could win. Other then that I don't really have alot of complaints about SI. It's been ran well ever since I got here. Now I just want to send out a couple special shout outs!
