Ghetto Fabulous History

 

Late May 1998, Lucky had an idea to kick off an mp3 site. He deliberates on his needs. Realizes he will need another hand. Enter Tikila. Business meeting and they are in it together halfing all profits. As for the trademarked name, it almost never happened. GF was originally to be called "DiZiple$ MP3Z"...but upon the date of arrival Lucky was sparked by the catchiness of "Ghetto Fabulous". June 1, 1998, the premiere of this biatch we've come to know well. GF quickly caught fire stacking up countless hits. Home of the 56 kbps MP3Z, Ghetto Fabulous was on top of the hip hop MP3 scene.GF was in its prime and in its golden days. After failed promises and loss of profits from CyberThrill, Lucky and Tikila lost focus. GF went into a 2 month hibernation. Many believed GF was dead. Late November GF kicks back into gear. A new affiliate was introduced. The man known as layer3 formerly of "The Rapstation". Layer3 refreshed GF with a new layout and a blazing streak of songs & tracks. Then GF went rock bottom. January 1999, after 3 weeks of no updates and broken links GF caught great criticism. Lucky and Tikila decide to take it "ol school". Back to the golden days. After a brief business deal layer3 was professionally dismissed on good terms. After an unexpected deal, Lucky enlisted the help of the IVIyth. A relative newcomer to the mp3 scene, he shows much promise. Plus he has other uses which will benefit this site much. Now on to the future. As we'll see what 1999 has in store for the Ghetto Fabulous operations...
