SOHH Atlanta

There's A Stranger In Sohh.com's House!!!

Posted on February 14, 2007 11:18 AM

Where’s the fucking loyalty?

I hate to be unprofessional about this, but I have to let you all in on something. When I posted the Lil Scrappy entry on Friday 2/09/07, I found everyone’s post very interesting.
Everybody had good points that were brought up, that got my mind running on an idea.

The idea, which was posted today on Sohh Atlanta and Sohh Houston’s blog was meant to have healthy dialect between Atlanta and Houston’s readers. However, it would appear that not everyone was on board with the idea. It seems that Sohh Houston felt that he was pressured, by whom is not clear, to post this idea on his blog.

Instead of posting the question in a positive way, he blasted the idea totally by saying

These are questions that SOHH Gyant wanted to have on both the Atlanta and Houston blogs for today. While I do think this is a good idea (business wise) I completely disagree with both of the questions and think that they are irrelevant and outdated. First of all, The H and ATL have completely different hip-hop styles. Anyone who can't see that has absolutely no right to speak on hip-hop at all. The question "which city is more responsible for the exposure of Southern hip-hop" makes absolutely no sense.

He went to say:

The last thing I have to say: To me...it is subjects like this that make hip-hop a joke. Who gives a flying fuck who the "originators" of "Southern hip-hop" are? What the fuck does it even mean to "run the South"? Gimme a break man...this is hip-hop...it is music...it's an art. This isn't some whack ass shit where everyone needs to be hating on eachother, starting beef between cities, or claiming shit that they are/aren't responsible for.

While Sohh Houston has the right to voice his opinion, to do so in front of our readers was completely unprofessional and I want to apologize to all of our readers for his outlandish comments. In Hip-Hop, and the streetz there is an important trait that you must have above all else and its Loyalty. Even if he thought my idea was lame, baseless, and fundamentally unimportant. Those issues should be brought up to me or any other Sohh employee behind the scenes, not in front of our 6 million + readers.

SOHH Rezidue has drawn the line in the sand as far as Sohh Atlanta is concerned. Though I am finding it very difficult to not put him on blast, I will take the high road knowing that though everybody is on your team. Sometimes they are not always really on your team.

I kinda feel whut he saying about pinning each state against each other but it never cross my mind beecause the way it was written was not in a negative way could've but it wasnt i started to think back like damn atl and houston was puttin out heat back in da dayz...Its nuttin wrong with recognizing the originators....Much respect....myspace.com/bottlebaby

  • yeh that was kinda lame for him to react like that. its nothing but healthy conversation and some people could actually learn something if they dont know about the history of southern rap. Most people outside of there cities dont no much about the grunt work that was put in by people in other cities so the hip hop artist we see today can be where they are...winning grammy's and such. Some people need to understand it's bigger than them and their city.

  • hey man no offense to you whatsoever, I think all the journalists (if thats what you all are) are somewhat talented in Sohh.com. Otherwise none of yall would have jobs.

    But in a way, he is right. And dont get mad bc i said it. Let me say this. Hip Hop is a dying, yes DYING artform. It is up to you all, the media, to get the listener back up to par the way it was in the early 90's. Just keep it intelligent man, no one runs the South. You act like this is a fucking business and someone is the CEO.

    Smarten up dawg, so your readers can smarten up with you, and Lupe might win that Grammy next time. And you and me, and everyone else that comes on SOHH.com knows that Luda had no business winning Rap album of the Year. That was his corniest album, even he knows it, thats why hes in the lab again.

    Much Love to all of you and God Bless.

  • Oh and if Sohh needs a writer (a paid one), put me to the test, on anything

    I am one of the best writers you all will ever come across and Hip Hop is my life. Shoot me an email yall...At least give me a shot...

    Peace!

  • Gyant your wackness doesn’t stop at trying to be the bigger man....You still wack....And dude is right most of all the north vs south shit is outdated and lame and here you come with some bullshit about who started it in the south...What in the fuck man? Cant you fucktard as "journalist" wanna be assclowns on here get that your media outlet is the death of an "art form". I recently came across a video on you tube of CNN comparing Barak Obama to the Iranian President because they both wear suit coats button up shirts and no ties. And this was a serious report if you want to see it here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwDlTkWtJZ4 now I bring this up not because of the asinine idea but a comment that i read under the video. Here it is: "How is this in anyway news? No common person would be comparing what he looks like to a Mideastern politician. But because they want the comparison they have created the slander, not free thinking people. What a terrible thing" Pay attention read it over a few times maybe you'll see the similarities.

  • its funny how yall always post topics thats geared towards starting some sort of tension. AND IT BACKFIRED. thats too funny.

    keep it up, sooner or later its gone trickle all the way up to the main office.

  • SOHH Rezidue says...
  • lol my bad Gyant...was just trying to prove a point. All this competition between people and the idea that hip-hop cities have to compete for "who runs it" is just stupid to me. it's a blog though homey don't take it personal.

    THANKS FOR BEING THE BIGGER PERSON.YOUR STATEMENT WAS 100% TRUE.DONT LET THIS CLOWN DIVIDE THE SOUTH.

  • Victor Newman says...
  • @ SOHH GYANT

    I bet you wont Smack him... LOL.

    but on the real i feel where he's coming from, comparing one city to the other in the south is pointless. We dont do that down here. they live off Diss records on the East Coast but it's all love down here, and being that ATL and H-Town never got their shine they deserved back in the day's (b/c of the biased NYC cats)we know that we struggled to get this far in southern RAP music, and that's why we show each city love. a blog like that would only bring haters in here and attempt to destroy the Unity we've built in the south.

  • February 14, 2007 12:55 PM
  • Wow says...
  • Whats wrong with asking who runs southern hiphop? Hiphop from its earliest days is all about competition. Competition is healthy as long as we can limit the hating.

    Damn now we got blogger beef, do evrybody start picking sides now.
    ATL runnin SOHH shawt!! (heh)

  • I AGREE WITH ONE OF THE COMMENTS AS IN THERE IS COMPETITION,WETHER ITS HIP HOP OR ANYTHING IN GENERAL,ITS HUMAN NATURE TO COMPETE AND THE WAY SHIT IS NOWADAYS ITS HUMAN NATURE TO HATE(THAT SUCKS,TOO MANY FAKE ASS MOTHERFUCKAS OUT)...PLUS I LIKE READING YALL COMMENTS(IT BE SOME FUNNY SHIT)....I GUESS ALOT OF YALL JUST THINK YALL TOUGH CAUSE YALL ON A COMPUTER(COMPUTER TOUGH GUYS)....NIGGA I LOVE HIP HOP,NO MATTER WHERE THE ARTIST FROM(WHO THE FUCK CARES WHEN U REALLY THINK ABOUT IT) AS LONG AS THERE IS GOOD MUSIC BEING MADE

  • February 14, 2007 1:17 PM
  • wow says...
  • Hey GYANT, your emotions showing. Clearly there are personal issues that you are letting affect your professional position. Rez was right, but now you challenge him, which will result in A-town vs. H- town (I predict the southern dominance in hip-hop will soon fade because of journalistic influence) Your true colors have shown, faggot!!

  • Atlanta runs the south, by far. No close runner up.

    I have received a number of e-mails regarding the White nigga movement. I have gotten 40-50 e-mails asking the same question: "Is Kevin Federline part of the White Nigga movement?". The answer is NO!.

    Kevin Federline aka K-Fed has never been a card carrying, dues paying member and never will be. We have very high standards to uphold and would never ever consider a FAKE WHITE NIGGA for membership. Being a Fake White Nigga is the worst thing you can be. Now we know what the F on his arm is for.

    So all of those inquiring please send your resume, a picture and the $300 initial fee. We will begin processing your membership ASAP.

    WHITE NIGGA MOVEMENT STILL GOING STRONG!!

  • I don't know if this is real or not but right now it's real funny. Gyant you are too sensitive...at least one of your blogs a day deals with tension, beef, or how you were wronged or had a bad experience. I mean your style is the same day and day out. Read your posts they all have the same concept especially the beginning. You were thinking about something, read something, and remembered something, etc all the same. Now I liked the blog earlier but I don't like how you put your co-worker or blast. Grow up, please. You are representing the ATL and you look like a bi^&.

This is a whack blog anyways and I don't think Gyant is from Atlanta anyways, just an internet gangsta from Alpharetta. I'm from Lilburn, and I'm more "street" than him, and I'm no where near black.

  • Bottom Line. Atlanta is responsible for bringing Southern Hip Hop to the forefront. Jermaine Dupri, Outkast, Goodie Mob. Those are the south's pioneers.

    Yes HTOWN had Scarface and The Geto Boys but they did not have the mass appeal that those other acts did. No disrespect to those artists because they are great lyricists.

    I am a woman and I come to this site to get the latest in hip-hop news. I am going to say this in the most respectful way possible....you are more BITCHY than any female I have ever known and trust, its 20x worse coming from a male. When Rezidue said "my bad" that is still the hood form of an apology and if u were a real man you would have taken it as such and squashed it then. I bet you are going to stay mad at him for the rest of your BITCHY life.
