I should win both tickets because I am the 1st person to write on this comment, revealing my inherent good luck, my ability to discern between bs & worthwhile articles, and my daily usage of this website. Also, I should get both tickets because I actually have people I can choose 2 bring with me who actually manage artists with potential. Also, I won’t have sht else 2 do on the 5-9th so it’s better I go to the A3C instead of plotting or getting in2 some bs like us youth do these days
I’ve never got the chance to experience A3C and 2016’s lineup has got to be one of the best one yet! Who wouldn’t want to be there? We have many great artists and producers on the rise and I hope to experience what every fan wants this year
m comimg to A3c myself…to perform an unoffical show and to explore as many expos as possible. I didn’t purchase a festival pass. It simply wasn’t in my budget…Although i will only be attending the 7th-9th, I would like to spend my last day there enjoying a few shows before my departure.
I’ve been doing a lot traveling myself lately to events that not many believe in as much as myself…and the added pass would “officialize” the experience.
I think I deserve to win the tickets because I’m an entrepreneur for a new Hip-Hop Magazine Urban Hangout Magazine, and would love to network with artist giving them a chance to be highlighted on our platform.
I would love the opportunity to go to not only simply enjoy the music but to exp. the festival in it’s entirety since I have never been to the A3C fest. I intern at a radio station now, go to school for audio engineering and music production, and im currently mapping out the blueprint for my media company so this opportunity would be a blessing to get out, network and explore my passion for this craft even further.
I want to go to A3c this year becuz i loooove hiphop. Im a up and coming manager in atl. I want to have a management company so fye that no one will ever get another fucked up deal. Thats what i wanna do for my people. Going to A3c will give me alot of knowledge i need becuz of the panels and discussion. I just want to be n the building. I just want to feel the energy.
I rode the mega bus 3yrs ago to be at A3C and would love witness this event again! The energy in that atmosphere what hip hop, and black community need right now.
Well I believe I deserve to attend A3C because I have never attended the festival and I have always wanted to. The last time I had an opportunity to attend my son was born the same week so I had to give my pass away. I am also a true music enthusiast. I am a communications major and I would love to observe the overall enviornment for myself and document upon my experience in a positive light. I also want to learn and see how the artist interact with one another as well as the press and bloggers. I just overall want to learn amd see the field im trying to enter in life at a highpoint within the industry. Also with all that is going on with violence within our black communities I would like to whitness the experience of a true hip hop festival in black hollywood which ive never been before. I myself am an educated african amercan male and I have only experienced atlanta through music, noisey documentaries (which i think are biased) or Donald Glovers new show on FX. I truelly believe none of he others would take from this experience what I would. So please pick me I would be forever grateful.

I would love to win and take My daughter to her first music festival as a birthday present. We haven’t had a car in years to go anywhere and she deserves it for keeping her head up through all of our struggles.
I know I should win because I’m a hungry Music Producer/Artist who’s tired of work a 9-5 to make ends meet, my music is DOPE and I never been on an airplaine.
I would be honored to win the tickets because I love hip-hop!!!!!
I host a hip hop Podcast, Hot 16. Its available in iTunes and we would love the opportunity to attend A3C in order to curate some dope content for our listeners. While there we hope to capture artists for interviews and even attendees. This would be a big move in our progression as we are completely independent and have no backing. We have already done 32 episodes and have received positive reviews and feedback!
Great insight
I feel as I should win this giveaway due to I’m an upcoming videographer #trustTv that’s trying to break out from being underground.. I have what it takes also.
I first attended A3C in 2010 as a volunteer and continued to volunteer for the event until 2014. As an Atlanta based music producer, I have a lot of respect for what A3C represents for the hip-hop community. A ticket for me would be beneficial not only to see some dope shows, but to network with other attendees and artists and finding a way to pay it forward towards the hip-hop community. The ticket would help with my budget, and I would reinvest the extra money to expand on quality production for artists.
One half of Hot 16, hip hop podcast! We cover and speak about all things in the realm of hip hop each and every show. This would be an amazing opportunity for us to not only review the event but also for the growth of our show. We are completely independent! If granted this opportunity I assure you that we will not disappoint.
I feel I should win because I’m broke as f*ck and I like pretty much everyone on the bill. Also I’ve never been to Atlanta and I would def take a road trip up there if I won.
I would love to enjoy this experience as my bday is 10/03; I’m bouncing back from a midlife crisis (suicide attempt) and have been working in the road since feb. I will be in the area as I am leaving Myrtle on the 2nd. Thanks for the consideration in advance!
i am an upcoming artist. music&art. this would be perfect. I’ve been wanting to go for years never could afford it. I’m in the atlanta area now & would love the experience, would take a lot from it. great opportunity to network, socialize, vibe, see some of my favorite artist, meet new people & above all have a great time.
I am in music management. Music soothes my soul.
Because I spit hot fire.
I would love to attend the A3C Festival and would be honored to win the ticket giveaway because I am very passionate about hip hop and music in general. I am currently developing and getting ready to launch a digital marketing and branding agency while getting my masters at a top tier advertising school. I would use the opportunity at A3C to network with the music community to further my understanding of the business.
I feel I should be the winner of the AC3 tickets because hip-hop is what inspires me to keep my head up during the bad times. It’s a big part of my life. Without it I would be lost so going to the AC3 festival would be a memory that I would cherish forever. I love seeing new artist with talent fighting for the exposure they desperately crave for to make it to the top. Being in that creative atmosphere would be the energy I need due to day to day struggles I face as far as trying to stay level headed in this crazy world. Attending the AC3 festival would be a dream come true and a mental vacation I desperately need. Thanks for the opportunity hiphopdx.com
I am from the south side of Chicago and hardly ever get to attend Hip Hop festivals with my favorite artist. Attending A3C and watching tons of performances would be a dream come true for a kid like me! If i won those tickets i’d take my little cousin and we’d cherish that moment forever 🙂
I should be the winner of the tickets because I have talent in music so I want to be able to watch other great artists.I’m from the Atlanta area so I know all the local artists. I have lots of passion for music & Hip Hop is my favorite type of music to listen to. Hopefully one day my hard work pays off & I can become a famous rapper so I attending the A3C Festival what would really be Amazing!
Unlike of the people commenting I do not feel entitled to the A3C Festival pass. However, I do feel that based off solely needs and circumstances, some may be more deserving as others. I am a 21 year old homeless artist in Atlanta attempting to get back into college next semester, I say homeless not for symathy but for perspective. Due to low funds I was unable to submit an application to perform via SonicBids, the app was $50.00 I simply did not have. I know I would’ve gotten selected to perform without a doubt in my mind. I feel as though not all but many of the people who commented want a free handout, some even seem entitled. I on the other hand have given up my comfort, delayed furthering my education, and put my future at risk in order to pursue music along with and endless list of things I have sacrificed and work put in for the love of the culture. I have composed a self written, self engineered, self mastered co-produced 11 track EP on my own which can be heard here sharellmadden.bandcamp.com sidenote, I did the artwork myself too ; all listeners feel free to give feedback. I can’t even fathom how much this oppurtunity for me could be life changing in so many ways. It would be a chance for me to connect with so many artists and industry professionals face to face, a chance to use my potentia,l a chance to show my music to the world and have my story be heard on such a wider platform. Neverthless, I am grateful and will continue to work effortlessly towards my passion and goals regardless of the outcome. I’ve always been against all odds. Question is, which statistic will I become next? I guess thats for the world to decide. Peace, love and happiness to all.
I need these tickets to represent for women in hip hop!
I believe we all deserve a ticket. We have all connected through music and all share that passion to watch our favorite artists live. I dont believe I deserve this ticket more than anyone else, but I would love to go just as much as everyone in these comments! Peace, Love and Positivity to y’all!
I think I deserve to won the tickets, I am huge Hip Hop fan born and raised in New York, who recently moved down south to embark on a new journey with music and entertainment. I grew up listening to old school hip hop legends but love and respect the new generation of hip hop as well. This will be a great experience to network with so many passionate artist and hip hop lovers from around the world. I love and appreciate the hip hop culture and seeing it evolve over the years has really made me excited to be a part of this community. Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of something so historic and legendary, this event is what the culture needs and it would be an honor to be in attendance this year with such a dope line up.
Why should I win? I’m that bitch that loves hiphop music to be honest
I should be the lucky winner because I need to go out and have some fun!
I am a passionate, young female entrepreneur involved in the hip hop industry in a few ways. I book music in my home town, I manage an artist and a photographer (who is already attending to capture the experience of a performing duo with whom we work), I built a home studio, and am developing a support system for hip hop artists in my home town with many short and long term goals.
I would greatly benefit from attending ac3 because I am yearning to learn more about the best ways to support the community and the industry of hip hop music! My goal is to help artists cultivate their impact to connect to the world GREATLY and POSITIVELY! Connecting with people at ac3 would be invaluable to me.
I would give the second ticket to another artist or professional I work with in order to maximize the experience of our small group that is already going.
Also, it would be so much fun to listen! I have never been to ac3 and have wanted to go for years. Immersing myself in ac3 this year would be like a dream for me. In fact, I had a dream about it last fall!
