via Zion I :
The Masters of Ceremony is the first EP in a series created to fortify the cultural aspects of Hip Hop. The sole purpose of the MC is to energize, invigorate, and guide the listener to a higher state of mind, whether that be reflection, relaxation or enlightenment. This is the culture and not the business of Hip Hop, to serve as a tuning fork to the emotions, that we may contemplate our current state collectively and forge our collective destiny with heightened perspective. A lot of people MC, but many have no idea what it really means.

INFO & ENTRY RULES: http://stonesthrow.com/news/2013/12/7…
Snoop and Dam-Funk want you to make the next video from the 7 Days Of Funk album. The rules are simple: download the audio for “High Wit Me” and the green screen footage of Snoop and Dam-Funk. Then, create your own video using any green screen and/or any other footage you want. Once you’ve completed your video, title it “7 Days Of Funk Video Contest”, upload it to YouTube and notify us at team@stonesthrow.com of your submission. We’ll add your video to the contest playlist for all to see and Snoop and Dam to judge.
You can do anything you like as long as it’s creative – shoot new footage, animation, found footage, Snoop and Dam green screen footage or combinations of all of the above so long as it doesn’t infringe another copyright. Our deadline is February 17, 2014.
After that we’ll announce the winner on February 24, 2014, taking into consideration view counts, comments, and most importantly which video Snoop and Dam like best. 4 Semi-finalists will each get $200 and a 7 Days Of Funk 7″ box set. The winner will get $1,000, a chance to direct an upcoming video for Stones Throw and a 7 Days Of Funk 7″ box set.
