The self-proclaimed "King Of The South", T.I.'s, birthday weekend has finally come to a close. And while Tip, and the Grand Hustle crew executed several events over the weekend, the gas shortages in -and around- the city restricted myself to only checking out the southern MC's private birthday party that was held at the Biltmore in midtown.
Check out my coverage below.
Ok, so that's the official sh*t for the publicist, let's get into what y'all really want to know.
On the real the party was dope! I loved the theme, however I've got to look at certain people with the crooked eye.
Look, we all know that Atlanta is the most poppin' city as far as music, and the extremely shaky music business goes. In the ATL everybody seems to be doing something industry related [whether they frontin' or not]. SOHH with that said, I'm always baffled at how people put on their groupie jacket's when they get private invites.
I don't want to call out any body's name, but it's mad whack when you do the following at an exclusive affair:
1. Crowd the red carpet area getting in the way of the media who's being paid to get their stories, interviews and pictures for the people that WEREN'T invited, but who still want to take part by checking out the blogs, newspapers and sites the next day.It's no mystery that I don't tear up these streets like I used in an attempt to give you, the readers, a birds-eye view of the party scene. And that's because the party scene has gotten extremely whack.
2. Standing around holding up the wall while the DJ is dropping the hottest beats to get the party poppin. Because in their minds the party doesn't start until the "celebrity" is in the building.
3. Staring at a celebrity in their respective VIP area like their muthaf*ckin' gold fish in a damn fish tank.
Now, when you go to party, instead of everyone trying to get their party on with the spirits flowing, and the music blasting, all you see are a thousand camera's from people embracing their inner blogger.
Tell me; what in the hell are going to do with a picture of T.I. on your damn razor cellphone?
Last year, T.I. and his celebrity friends, Wayne and Jeezy threw one of the most flyest parties of the year. But the main reason why it was deemed as one of the illest parties, was primarily because everyone's priority was about getting their party on.
Some of y'all industry people really KILL me!
But it's whatever. For everyone who's reading this; if you're ass is an invited guest to a slammin' party, and you're not coming out to party. Then keep your ass at home. I mean hell, even T.I. had to try and brush you groupies off by moving to a private room [which I just SOHH happened to be in, btw] to get away from the overwhelming nonsense. Get off these n*ccas d*cks it's not that serious!
Oh and if you're that chick, or worse, that DUDE standing in a sea of reporters, journalists and bloggers trying to get you a picture of a celebrity, please know now you're SOHH Lammmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Here's the pictures from the party:
And you know I got that video for you to:
pecial shoutout to Nicole Garner of The Garner Circle, Hannah Kang [who was DOING IT in that cream gown], Laura Giles as well as the entire Grand Hustle who had a hand in kicking off Tips first "Takeover Weekend" I can't wait until next year!!!
Oh and for those of you who didn't know, I was twittering from the party and you can find out what I had to say about certain folks [here]
But since I know that a lot of y'all ain't on Twitter like that just yet, here's a few comments I made in real time that night:
Ok so the theme seems to be Victorian!!!
Why Mizzz Shyneka from Hot 107.9 trying to act like she's the life of the damn party? I wonder how her lonely nights are doing.
They've locked a select few in with TI and Tiny and now nuccas outside are acting up! Lawd!!
Somebody tell Mizz Shyneka that girls with that much cottage cheese on the legs should NEVER where skirts that short [Source]
Talk to y'all lata,
