I haven’t ran a “Girls, Girls, Girls” post for quite some time. This is just a blog about beautiful women.

It’s just an afternoon treat for the fellas, and some ladies.

V103’s Porsche Foxx got the exclusive of all exclusive â€" next to Tameka Foster, and Usher. Yesterday she sat down with the dumbest jock in football â€" Michael Vick.

This dummy got everyone in the “jewel” divided. Some Atlanta Falcons fans are rallying behind him, while others are calling for his immediate termination.

It seems MTV2 is trying to start some sh*t with the debate “#1 MC of all time”.

This will probably be one of the most controversial topics of the summer. Is it Andre 3000? Maybe, Lil Wayne will get the title right? Not so fast, because NYC rapper Saigon say’s Jeezy is the best MC in the game.

Check out the video below.

Now y’all know Gyant blogs his ass off for the people.

And, you should also know that my work ethic never stops - as I got the chance to talk with Disturbing Tha Peace/Def Jam Executive Chaka Zulu recently, and he opened up a little bit about all the hoopla that’s surrounding he and that other multiple personality lyricist.

MANEKA.jpg

You just can’t make this sh*t up.

Usher Raymond IV and Tameka Foster were to be married today at LA Reid’s mansion in the high society part of the Hamptons.

However it seems that all the drama, and controversy surrounding Usher’s bride to be proved to be all too much for the pop star. Because just moments ago it was just announced that Usher has call the wedding off.

ron-isley.jpg

Janaeé from the SOHH news department posted a story the other day regarding R&B icon Ronal Isley.

If you aren’t aware, homeboi is in a lot of trouble!! He was accused and ultimately convicted of 5 counts of tax evasion. The real godfather of R&B is set to serve his prison sentence on August 7th, 2007 and Def Jam is asking YOU the fans to get involved.

I implore you to all take 2 minutes out of your day to help the cause. Find out more information below.

Soulja Boy's got a new dance that's supposedly catching on faster then the Macerena!

Is this apart of southern hip-hop culture or just another negative depiction further adding to the age-old argument that the South is ruining hip-hop?

Watch the video below.

**This is a repeat post. Since the film comes out today, I figured I would repost my review for those who may have missed it from earlier this week.**

whoyourcaddy.jpg

The reach of this blog never ceases to amaze me. I almost always forget the impact SOHH.com has on music, hip-hop culture, and over all entertainment. But last night I was abruptly, and without warning reminded of our reach when Big Boi from Outkast expressed his opinion on my post questioning his new movie.

To call it an uneasy moment would be a huge understatement. Hell, for a minute I thought he was going to hit me. His swagger most definitely changed when he realized who I was.

Now, I’ve met Antwan on numerous occasions and have had nothing but the most positive encounters with him. But I’ve also never said anything out of the way about him either. It always amazes me how millionaires allow themselves to get so worked up over something someone, who makes considerably less money then them, say about them. It was the most uncomfortable moment of my career.

I got the opportunity to get an exclusive advance preview of the film last night thanks to Chris Chamber, and Junior Suriel of The Chamber Group. Was I wrong about my initial impression? I hate to say it folks, but I wasn’t.

ciara-ad002.jpg

I’m sure everyone knows by now that Atlanta’s most supreme female entertainer Ciara is the new face of RocaWear’s "I Will Not Lose" campaign.

But I’m sure most don’t know that she’s shot a commercial for the hip-hop brand. And I got the video for y’all exclusively on SOHH Atlanta.

Check it out below.

SOHH Gyant's Hot 5!!

| 72 Comments

SOHH%20GYANT%27S%20TOP%205.jpg

I know I didn’t get a chance to do a Hot 5 last week, but what can I say â€" it happens.

I do have some hot tracks for ya though from the likes of Polow Da Don, Jeezy, Young Buck, and more.

Check them out below. Happy Downloading…

pimpc.jpg

Word is spreading rapidly over this Pimp C interview that will be in the new Ozone Magazine.

It started out as a internet rumor, but now everybody is coming to find out the truth â€" Pimp C is one bitter ole b*tch!

In the new interview Pimp C sat down with the popular hip-hop publication, and expressed his rage by targeting Jeezy, Ne-Yo, Russell Simmons, and the entire city of Atlanta.

Everybody’s talking about the publication. But I found his follow up interview with HOT 107.9’s Durrty Boyz which was much worse, or better, depending on who you ask.

Scroll down and listen for yourself.

JDANDBOWOWO.jpg

There have been stories circulating around for some time about J.D. and Bow Wow. Are they fighting, or aren’t they? They've had “artistic” beef awhile back, but that was resolved and they seemed to trucking forward right?

Well people are saying, actually one in particular, that apparently it isn’t water under the damn bridge. Click below to find out what’s "supposedly" going down.

Atlanta Invades BET's 106 & Park!!

| 236 Comments

scream1.jpg

Atlanta invaded 106 & Park last week in a big way. Ciara, T.I., Lloyd. and Yung Joc all stopped by to discuss Screamfest 2007.

A lot of people emailed me asking me about it, so I decided to post the video for y’all.

Does anyone even watch 106 & Park anymore? Check out the video below.

bozy%20n%20da%20hood.gif

Did Jeezy use Boyz N Da Hood to make way for his own solo career? That’s what current member Duke is saying.

According to published reports, the outspoken rapper says Jeezy only had a one album deal, and used it to launch his now highly successful solo success.

It's that time again y'all...

Cinemartini serves as a leisure - sophisticate, cinematic experience featuring the movie "Usual Suspects" this Wednesday, July 25th with the Wet Deck experience featuring DJ LV beginning at 8:00pm and film at 9:00pm.

zone4_2.jpg

I’m sure by now everybody knows about Keri Hilson, Polow Da Don, and Rich Boy’s consistent creative energy right? Well they are keeping that sh*t moving with Rich Boy’s new single “Good Things”

Last week I brought you some behind the scene’s footage. And now I can bring it to you in its entirety.

Check it out below.

This weekend was pretty action packed with Beyonce, Robin Thicke and J.D. and the crew in town.

Here’s a rundown of what happened.

LILFLIP.jpg

Like Puffy says: “somebody is always trying to take your spot”. Since SOHH Dirty doesn’t seem to work on the weekends, I decided to run with this story.

Lil Flip
is in some hot water over his shocking arrest last night. The streetz are going to be talking about this sh*t crazy come Monday morning.

Find out more below.

dupriislandsmall.jpg

It looks like Jermaine Dupri’s weekend didn’t get off to a very good start. His now legendary all-star weekend seemed to get a bump due to an overzealous club owner.

My friend, and celebrity photographer Sandra Rose posted an email she received from Jermaine himself. Apparently the owner of Club Onyx threatened any and all dancers that work for him an immediate termination if they were to compete in J.D.’s $250,000 strip off contest.

The aggressive tactic pissed J.D. off so much he decided to put them on blast.

Verseus Entertainment Group is celebrating their three year anniversary with a full talent showcase at The Loft this Tuesday, July 24th, 2007.

Find out more about the kick ass talent showcase below.

VICK.jpg

I wasn’t going to report this story on SOHH Atlanta because I know how touchy some of the readers get when I don’t talk about A.) Hip-Hop, or B.) Hip-Hop. But a lot of the comments have been requesting it so here I go.

Basically, Michael Vick is in deep sh*t. We all know why, but I know a lot of people don’t realize exactly what is at stake for Atlanta’s most popular quarterback.

All I can say is that it’s good to have friends in high places, because I got some exclusive sh*t for you.

DB.jpg

Remember back in the early 2000’s when Ja Rule was on like, everything? Well that’s the road I see Akon going down. That n*cca is on almost every hot track and I’m not mad at him.

Watch him, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg and David Banner put it down on Banna’s new video “Speaker”.

Check out the new video below.

TIPAGAIN.jpg

Everyone was pumping their fists last week for T.I. with his super big album sales. As impressive as it was, I consciously wanted to lay low on the congratulatory actions because I wanted to see what this week was going to be.

As much as I wanted to hate on him for all his high-octane antics recently, I can’t do it because the pint sized, hey, I get my zingers where I can, rapper’s new album is still holding strong.

BigBoiDXB.jpg

Last week I called Antwan Patton, AKA Big Boi, out for his potentially coonin - new movie “Who’s Your Caddy” (Story Here).

Well it seems Big Boi got wind of it and wanted to set the record straight this past weekend at Terell Owens charity auction at Ten Pins in Atlantic Station.

Check out what he had to say below.

DTP_Logo.jpg

As you all know Ludacris and the entire DTP family is pushing their new compilation album and current single hard.

It’s dropping in August, and though it seems to be taking y’all - the fans - a minute to get on board with it. Their new song is hot!!

I got some still shots from the video. Ludacris, Steph, Small World, and Chingy will be on BET’s Access Granted tonight.

Pictures below.

Fill in the blank(s) for me: Lil Wayne and Baby look _________ As Hell!

soso.jpg

It’s that time of the year again. So So Def weekend hits Atlanta in a couple of days. If you from the “A” then you already know what it is, and how J.D. puts it down.

If not…well you’re for damn sure going to find out should decide to get out.

You know the Gyant looks y’all out. I got the break down below..

00-lil_wayne-the_carter_3_mixtape-b.jpg

It’s kinda slow today so I decided to give you guys some exclusive sh*t. Lil Wayne has strong following here in the A.

He’s currently working with Ja Rule on his new song “Uh Oh” which some of you guys blew off as being a weak track.

But be that as it may…Wayne is still heavy in the mixtape game and now, thanks to me, has officially taken a leak.Check out his entire mixtape for “The Carter Three” below…

l_3611d6cc59c9db79414a9601c98eba07.jpg

I had the opportunity to interview newly signed Disturbing Tha Peace rapper Small World recently. The North Carolina native opened up about his grind, how it feels to work with Ludacris, and his goals for rap domination.

With his new album gearing up to hit stores September 18th it looks likes he’s amp’d up like no other to get his music out to the masses.

Check out my exclusive video below.

bigboi.jpg

While Big Boi’s music career is still thriving, Antwan's acting career still leaves much to be desired. His new movie “Who’s Your Caddy” hits theaters July 27th.

Check out the new trailer below.

LILSCRAP.jpg

Ok, I don’t get it! First it was “I got money in the bank, shawty what you drank”, to now
“Living in the projects”??

Check out the new video from Lil Scappy below.

SOHH%20GYANT%27S%20TOP%205.jpg

Sorry I'm late today guys..

Listen, I'm out and about (grinding never stops), but I still wanted to post my weekly Hot 5.

I warn you now there's more T.I. tracks. I know we are ALL over him at this point. But these are some bonus tracks that you havent heard yet...

richboy.jpg

Rich Boy’s self tilted album is still holding strong in the streets and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.

I obtained some hot behind the scenes video of the Alabama rap representative on the set of his new video “Good Things”. The new song also features Atlanta songstress Keri Hilson as well as Zone 4’s and self proclaimed “King of the White girls”, Polow Da Don.

Check out the video below.

Gucci Mane Is Trying To Back Pedal!!

| 94 Comments

GUCCI%20MANE.jpg

Just two days ago I posted a track that Gucci Mane released attempting to diss the current King of the south T.I. AKA Clifford Harris. (Listen to Track Here)

Well it seems the streets were talking, and the Internet has been on fiyah as people are logging on to hear one of the whackest diss records ever made, in my opinion anyways.

Well it seems that Gucci Mane maybe shivering in his boots a little because he called Atlanta’s HOT 107.9’s morning show to clear up the “unauthorized leak”. Listen to his bullsh*t explanation below.

Fight Klub champion and new DTP Records rap artist Serius Jones is the real deal.

The New Jersey native and new member of Distrubing Tha Peace family has been on the come up for quite sometime now. And now, thanks to Ludacris and DTP exec’s he will soon be showing you all what he’s got.

As DTP prepares to drop their new compilation album “Strength In Numbers” on August 28th, 2007.

Check out Serius Jones spit that fiyah freestyle below.

B5.jpg

I can just hear all the little girls screaming into exhaustion as â€"teeny boppersâ€" B5 have released another song from their upcoming album Don’t Talk, Just Listen.

While the brotherly group has yet to garner worldwide success, hell not even national success, they are popular in their own right with the youngins.

"Hydrolics" -- a drumline enthused song -- is sure to be an instant hit. And adding fan favorite Bow Wow isn’t a bad look either.

Check out the new video from the singing quintet below.

Pastor Troy Takes A Leak!!

| 31 Comments

624lkao.jpg

If you weren’t aware Pastor Troy’s new album â€" Tool Musiq- dropped last week. Why he dropped it on the same day as T.I. and Kelly Rowland is beyond me. I will admit that even I forgot about College Park native's upcoming project. But I making up for it by giving him some shine today. Hey, better late then never right?

The popular underground rapper did his thing on this album. It’s actually quite good!

I got some cuts from the album for you to check out.

281x211.jpg

The lord has answered my prayers. Andre 3000 and Big Boi will soon release new music!

The only problem is that it won’t be together.

While a break up between the two seems eminent, the fact the matter is I’d take either one of them over almost any rapper today. MTV News caught up with Benjamin recently and here’s what he had to say:

bb10.jpg TIBIRD.jpg

I know the headline is kinda f*cked up but when I saw these pictures I coudlnt help it.

The streetz are all a buzz about the new Gucci Mane diss track against the self proclaimed King of The South T.I.

I got so many emails asking me why I haven’t addressed this obviously intentional spit on SOHH Atlanta, that I decided that I would.

T.I’s Party went down without a hitch over the weekend. Big names like JD, Polow Da Don, Big Boi, Big Gipp, and of course the man of the hour himself were in the building.

It was a good look for the Louis Vuitton of Buckhead to allow the King to host his party amongst all the designer apparel adorned by many of today’s male and female celebrities.

unk.jpg

I don’t think I have ever seen a more fun and genius video.

This unaltered video from the 1960's of a Bob Fosse dance number perfectly syncs with Unk's hip-hop tune "Walk It Out". It's as if they were made for each other.

Check this sh*t out! It’s like some back to the future sh*t!

tipdrill.jpg

While many people thought that the BET Music Awards were all about parties, T.I. and Chaka’s debacle and the proverbial ceremonious applause.

The awards week also played as social conscious as many of today’s leading rap entertainers joined together to address what’s really going on in Hip-Hop.

DJ Aaries and the Hood Hard DJ's presents Hood Hard TV every month. The movement is unstoppable and DJ Aaries is already famous, with repeat spots on Rap City as a guest DJ.

SOHH%20GYANT%27S%20TOP%205.jpg

It’s Thursday and you know what that means... I got the hottest five tracks of the week.

Happy downloading kids…

wendyandti.jpg

I know I had promised that I wasn’t going to talk about T.I. anymore. But Tuesday’s WBLS Wendy Williams Experience was a special one, so I had to bring it to the SOHH readers. T.I. made his debut on the resident loud-mouth’s nationally syndicated radio program.

To say the conversation was explosive is an understatement. Wendy’s trusty sidekick Charlamagne Tha God held no punches back as he questioned T.I. on everything from DJ Toomp, to DJ Drama and everything in between. Toomp also called in to clear up the rumors surrounding the two southern talents.

Check out the exclusive audio below…It is not to be missed.

What’s up everybody,

I trust your holiday went well. Listen, I dropped a blind item yesterday. And today is the day you can see if all your guesses were right.

I try to make my blind items pretty easy so most of you were right….

BLIND.gif

What’s good?

I got some information about one half of Atlanta’s signature hip-hop groups. I love to give you guys’ information. But what I love even more is to provide you guys' with a blind (not so blind) item

Put your thinking caps on and see if you figure out who it is…

CHINGY.jpg

I had the opportunity to hang with the DTP clan yesterday for their compilation CD photoshoot, which will hit stores in the coming months.

I interviewed everybody from Chingy, Bobby V, Shareefa, I-20, Serius Jones, Steph Jones (no relation), Small World and few others.

With a stellar new artist roster Ludacris seems like he might be able to create a respectable and profitable year. My first interview that I am bringing to you guys is Chingy.

Find out what really happened to the Disturbing Tha Peace â€" Capitol â€" and then back to DTP â€" Midwest artist.

ti-site.jpg

If you’re a T.I. fan then you might want to know that he is having his album release party tonight at Compound on Brady Ave.

V103’s Ryan Cameron and Greg Street will host the event and I’m sure all of Atlanta’s elite will be out and about in support of the dual personality M.C.

Fellas’ with no school or work tomorrow you know all the ladies are going to be out in full force.

Check out all the details below…

Yung Joc Explains The Gumby!!

| 19 Comments

gumbyjoc.jpg

Last week while I was recapping the ultra boring BET Music Awards I noticed Yung Joc’s throwback Gumby Slope.

It seemed Joc was channeling his inner Bishop from hood favorite “Juice”.

The Bad Boy South MC explained his new look to MTV News recently and this is what he had to say.

screamfestnew.jpg

The unofficial word spread from Mauldin Brand earlier this year. Ciara made it official at HOT 107.9’s Birthday Bash a couple of weeks ago.

But I now have the dates and locations for the tour of the Summer…ScreamFest 2007.

That’s right everybody the people who were behind all the successful Scream Tour are kicking it up a notch by adding such popular acts like Ciara, T.I., T-Pain, Yung Joc, and Lloyd.

Check below for all the details.

TIP1234.jpg

Trust me I know. I’ve talked about T.I. so much these past two weeks I'm even sick of him right about now. But this is T.I. week on SOHH so I got to do what I got to do.

I was scratching my head tying to figure out what I could post that would really interest you guys. As I started to search my usual “go-to” sites I ran across a recent interview SOHH Fabulous did on her popular blog, YBF.blogspot.com, where she sits down with the dual personality lyricist.

It was total fluff, but interesting all the same.
