I didn’t even know there was a “People’s Choice Awards” for the Dayton Daily News until I got the call lol. It was a ten way tie but it’s hard to get recognition here in Dayton as a hip hop artist period, so that’s good enough for me. Not to mention that I knew and respected many of these other artists for their talent before this happened so yeah - It’s an honor to have been placed in this category - Thanks Dayton :)

I think by far the best hip hop ARTISTS in Dayton are: 1) Aryginal, 2) DeMarco, 3) P Body, 4) PC, 5) Thrill Nova, 6) JayVez, 7) Slim Goodie, 8) Phillup Nickles, 9) DJ SKNO, 10) M Dot. You should put this poll up and if you reach the mass public, I am sure many will agree with that line-up or have slight variation of the same artists in different order.

This voting “best of Dayton” contest is a Joke and a fraud. My company , Stafford Jewelers, was part of last weeks “best Jeweler” contest. Much to our surprise and disapointment, one of the Jewelers dumped in 1700 votes on Sunday night (the last night of the contest over a 2 hour period) to take the Best of Dayton title away from us. When I contacted Ms. Fong at the Dayton Daily I was advised that they would look in to it. Well they did and here is her responce: Hi Mr. Stafford, I just tried to call you and was unable to get a voicemail recording, so I wanted to get back with you in some form. We’ve had our tech team look into the Best of Dayton voting, and we did notice something suspect happening at approximately 6 p.m. Sunday. However, we cannot conclude with certainty that this was a case of automated voting, which violates our rules, of course. The votes were coming from multiple sources). But still the volume of activity at that time was definitely not normal. I have consulted with Mike Goheen, the online director for Cox Ohio Publishing, and we believe the best way to move forward is to nullify this vote and have another vote in this same category later this year. We will be eliminating the category Best View and placing Best Jewelry Store up for vote again Sept. 8-14 (that is Labor Day week, so voting will run from Tuesday through the following Monday). Thank you for raising concerns. I would be happy to discuss this with you in more detail if you’d like. I will be bouncing in and out of some meetings this afternoon, but if I miss your call I will get back with you as soon as I can.

Ms. Fong decision not to follow the rules or the spirit of the contest only shows that if your a Dayton Daily advertising client and you get caught cheating, you will get a “free pass” /do over in the contest. My company will not ever be a part of this contest again and would urge everyone to rethink this “best of Dayton” contest. John M. Stafford Founder Stafford Jewelers
