I was just doing a quick check of my email, before I call an end to another Labor Day weekend, when I open an email from "Team Facelift." I guess these guys are well aware of the original Team Facelift and the idea for their name. I will share with you the email in it's entirety:
this is the real team facelift that you just made that post on your shitty website about...we found out about you guys months ago doing a google search on us, where you came up on the 29th page, so you guys are really doing big things i must say. we acxtaully wanted to reach out to you guys to do some kind of collaboration/sponsorship but i guess that wont be happening anytime soon. we really dont give a fuck if you dont like us using "your name" but first of all, its our name, and second of all we will fuck all you guys up, so either way, we dont care. come to nyc with your snowboards and get your lunch eaten
-Facelift Gang
So, I guess to that I say, I better not go to NYC because I like my lunch and don't want a bunch of clowns trying to eat it. Maybe we could have done some collaboration, in fact I guess I could have just picked a few random people off the street to collaborate with and ended up with a more talented group. As far as a shitty website maybe they should check out their own first, www.teamfacelift.com. You think they could have used some of that corporate MTV money to put into their own site. Facelift Concepts is still here and will still be here, unlike those guys whose 15 minutes seemed to have lasted 14. MTV is still trying http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2007/08/06/meet-team-facelift/ but people don't seem to be on board. To post this article on www.digg.com as Meet Team Facelift, NYC's Greatest Rap Group, makes me wonder what the Beastie Boys, B.I.G., Public Enemy, Wu-tang, Jay-Z and Nas might think.
