The Dilated Peoples and Nike/Recon Operation 6453 contests are a go...
*NEW* DILATED PEOPLES promo contest
Thanks to the kind folks at Cornerstone Digital, we have yet another contest for dat azz and this is a hot one. One winner will get a Dilated Peoples prize pack featuring a T-shirt, three different autographed pieces of vinyl, a promo poster and promo patch. Sounds like something I would want if I wasn't running this contest on the site.
Entrants, email me, complete with your name and address and the answers to the following questions:
1) What was the name of the first hip hop group Evidence was a member of?
and
2) What is the name of the first song he appeared on? (And by that I don't just mean the first commerically released or promotionally serviced song, I mean literally the first songs he rapped on. This is a pretty good prize pack so I wanna make sure a real fan, who knows their ish, wins it by making the questions semi-tough.)
The contest will end at 11:59:59pm on Friday May 21. A winner will be randomly selected from all correct entries received.
Dilated Peoples' Neighborhood Watch album is in stores now.
The Nike Air Force-X Mid
Nike Operation6453.com/Recon AF1 Shoe Campaign
OK, I'm not really sure I understand this one honestly, but I said I would pass it on:
You have a chance to qualify for the pre-buy of the new Nike Air
Force-X MID before it hits stores by participating in Nikes’ scavenger
hunt to promote their Operation6453.com/Recon AF1 shoe campaign. Check
out the rules listed below for more info on the actual game.
Objective:
Find as many posters as fast as possible over a 4 day period in NYC
Reward:
The top players will be eligible for prizes (think stickers, t shirts,
bags, shoes) and hundreds of players will qualify for the pre-buy of
the Nike Air Force-X MID
How To Play:
1. Sign up to participate on the site. Click the SIGN-UP button and
send them your cell phone number and carrier.
2. You will receive a confirmation PIN number via your cell phone.
3. Click on CONFIRM and input your PIN number.
4. You will be prompted to input your player name and personal info.
You will not be eligible for any prizes unless the form is completed.
5. Hit the streets of NY and wait for your fist SMS alert. The alert
will tell you the cross streets of the latest posting. Get there as
fast as you can.
6. When you see a poster on the street dial 6453 and enter the code on
the poster. You will receive a message telling you how many points
your target was worth and how many overall points you have.
7. Check back at the site to see where you rank. The top players will
qualify for prizes, but hundreds will qualify for the pre-buy. Don’t
give up.
8. Continue searching for posters until you receive an alert that the
game has ended.
Scoring:
Each day a total of 4 posters each with unique codes will be placed in
different parts of the city: 1 every 3 hours. Every time one is
posted, you will get an SMS alert indicating that a posting just
happened and of its general location.
Posters are HOT (worth more points) as soon as they are posted and COOL
down (lose value) as time passes. For this purpose, the point system
will be on a sliding scale as illustrated in the following table:
User typed poster code Points received
W/in the 1st hour of posting 64
W/in the 2nd hour 32
W/in the 3rd hour 16
W/in the 4th hour 8
W/in the 5th hour & after 4
Collecting Rewards:
At the end of the mission, you will receive an SMS that tells you if
you are qualified for a pre-buy or not. If not, you can still buy the
Nike Air Force-X MID when it goes on sale to the public. If you do
qualify you will be told a time and place to go where you will be
guaranteed a pre-buy of this exclusive shoe.

Also though, here's a few things not mentioned on the site:
• You don’t have to participate in all 16 events to win. You need to
be a high scorer. If you are the fastest to 5 of the locations then
you will win.
• Each event will be cool – imagine 16 micro-parties. DJ’s at some.
Stash at some. Giveaways at all of them.
• The grand prizes are an autographed Staash poster, exclusive Recon
Epic Bag, Recon Nike Apparel, and the Recon AF1’s.
The best of the best will also qualify for more prizes. You will be
notified if you are a winner and told where and how to collect your
loot.
Always check back at the site for performance and mission updates.
