Hip-hop community and social media website RapSpace.TV has selected Brooklyn-based rapper, Ceemore Dollarz as the winner of their much-hyped N-Bomb contest. Chosen from over a hundred entrants, Ceemore Dollarz's performance "Call Myself a Nigga" caught the jury's attention with its tight flow, strong political viewpoint, historical references and insightful analysis of the use of the word reinvigorated by faux celebrities Paris Hilton and Michael Richards.

Launched when New York City Council banned the N-word and talk show mogul Oprah Winfrey blamed rappers for celebrity faux pas like the recent Don Imus "nappy-headed ho" controversy, The N-Bomb contest "gave our community of rappers a chance to analyze it themselves and to explore why they use it or why they don't," says RapSpace.TV CEO McLean Mashingaidze-Greaves (MMG). "Ultimately, we needed to get it out of our system and to move onto bringing hip hop back to what it used to be – a progressive, educational, socially responsible and enlightening art form by the people. Censorship does not change the world that these artists live in."

Thousands of votes from all over the world were cast for Ceemore Dollarz – including voters as far as UK, South Africa and Asia. Contest finalists also included Connecticut rapper/producer Al Boog whose track "N Bombers" featured clever wordplay coupled with a nice hook and historical references. Third place went to SeAzOn ALL from Orlando, Florida who recorded a beautiful combination of vocal melody and smooth rhyming in his moving entry, "I'm a Black Man". All performances were recorded live on RapSpace.TV and are available for viewing through its search function.

"As the contest showed, RapSpace.TV is a hip hop community that's all about goodwill," explained MMG. "It's a positive vibe reminiscent of old school hip hop. This is the kind of flavor that's needed to bring rap out of its current creative and low-sales stagnation derived from relying on a mindless formula we've all grown tired of, 'booty, bling and blunt'."

RapSpace.TV's current contest Spit Ya Jazzmatazz targets the international hip hop market's German-speaking MCs to perform rhymes over a sampled hook provided by Guru with the winner scoring a chance to perform with the legend in Cologne, Germany.
