CREDIT$

Alright, I've got to give mad props to all of my homies who came into the recording studio and made me who I am.

THE PRODUCER$:

Ice Coe (a.k.a. Paul Coe): "Intro," "Let's MO$' BLING It," "Serve This," "Phone Interlude," "Long Island Iced Hoes" and "Epilogue"


Lil' Talent (a.k.a. Ryan Ross): "I am the Man" and "Into the Sunset"


Street Cred (a.k.a. Geoff Kottmeier): "California Bitches"


FEATURED ARTI$T$:

80-HD (a.k.a. Chris Curtis): Dan Tortela on "Intro"


K-Shizzle (a.k.a. Kyle Loewen): Backing Vocals on "I am the Man"


The Captain (a.k.a. Clint Lockhart): Featured Rapper on "Serve This"


The Drunken Jew (a.k.a. Michael Gardner): Caller on "Phone Interlude" — yes, it was a real call


NOT YET PICTURED FEATURED ARTI$T$:

Def Blind (a.k.a. Mario Panighetti): Backing Vocals on "Let's MO$' BLING It"

G-Really (a.k.a. Grover Coe): Backing Vocals on "Long Island Iced Hoes"

Slutecia (a.k.a. Shawna Downs): Featured Vocals on "Into the Sunset"

White Elvis (a.k.a. Ryan Downs): Backing Vocals on "Epilogue"


TOTAL THEFT$:

I should be in jail for illegally sampling Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love," and I humbly apologize to the Presley estate.

The operator voice on "Phone Interlude" is the property of Verizon Wireless. I figure I pay them enough every month to use the voice for free.


PRODUCTION NOTE$:

We recorded and mastered the album at Vague Studios in Los Gatos and San Francisco, CA. These were not lush studios. They were Ice Coe's and Street Cred's houses. We produced every track on Apple Macintosh computers using various versions of Logic Audio. We spent only miscellaneous free time on the weekends and nights over a two-month period in Summer 2003. Many songs were 95% completed within three hours. This is a testament to and a warning of the simplicity of recording music this century. MO$' BLING serves as a prime example of the dilution of talent and lack of wit that is pervasive in the rap industry and in much of the music industry in general in a time when five suits at Clear Channel can make or break your career.


MO$' BLING WOULD LIKE TO THANK:

Jesus, my producers, my family, the Coe family, all the performers and all the bitches.
