October 2008 Archives

I got something new for SOHH Atlanta. "Fashion, Shawty" will be a feature for all my Atlanta hip-hop fashinonista's out there. I told you all that I was going to check in with styling & branding extraordinarie, E. "Born" Edmonds. Check it out below.

Hate to say I told you SOHH.



It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

I've been meaning to run this video footage from Russell Simmons and his Hip-Hop Action Network's "Get Your Money Right" event that rolled through ATL two weeks ago. If you aren't familiar with the seminar, Russell gets a bunch of today's most popular/relevant entertainers and personalities to join him on the road to help young people understand financial accountability and empowerment.



I got some Young Jeezy album information for you guys. But I can't decide if it's good or bad news.

Well look who's finally letting their guard down and cracking smiles.




Yesterday I got an email from Chaka Zulu's assistant granting my request to listen to Luda's new album, Theater Of The Mind. Anyone who checks in to SOHH Atlanta from time to time knows that I've been very expressive in my requests to listen to it. Check out my review on Chris' album below.

While everyone is eying the blogs, looking for any new information on the big fourth quarter stars' albums, I thought that I would keep you all abreast of some Atlanta artists we need to be looking out for. There's SOHH much talent coming out of the A. 2009 is lining up to be a big year. Check it out.

Am I spotting a trend? Yesterday I was taking my usual stroll around the internet, when I spotted a story about Nelly, and how he is about to form a super group. The group would consist of Nelly, Akon, Pharell, and T-Pain.

Immediately it dawned on me that we are in the midst of a new trend in this wretched industry we all call the "music business".

Y'all know my newest favorite musical duo is doing it big on their current tour. And since we are days away from a historic election I thought I'd show some political support with a little help from the guys. Check it out below.

I was having a discussion yesterday about Lil' Wayne and I was SOHH blown away by my argument that I decided to bring it to you guys.
 

 

The self-proclaimed "King of The South" continues to infiltrate everything as far as his music is concerned. Check out the creative way a sixth & seventh grade debate team used T.I.'s current smash "Whatever You Like" to give our current political scene a little bit of swagger.




It looks like Ludacris pulled a fast one on us. Or should I say Rap-up.com.




The giveaways keep coming on SOHH Atlanta. Check out what's being given away now.

Since many of my record label executives continue to be confused on how to correctly implement new media into their artist over all marketing/promotions campaign, allow me to offer up some free advice. Usher, Janet I hope you're listening.

OutKast fans rejoice! There's a reunion in the works.

I told you all that I was going to compile a top ten list of things not to do on any red carpet, PERIOD! Well take a look at them below. Study that ish.

Shouts out to Ne-Yo for holding down the illest party over the weekend. You know I got pictures below. Check them out.
 



My dude Asher Roth hasn't even put out an album yet and already people are whispering about what he's going to do now that there's talk of an unexpected Eminem return. Is there about to be a battle brewing?

Are we over the BET Hip-Hop Awards yet? I got some more video from the red carpet.

Are Melyssa Ford and Devyne Stephens shackin' up? Is Lola Luv working on a new mixtape? I got Young Dro talking about his new album, and his confirmation that he and Fantasia are over. Lola Luv opened up about her aspirations to rap. And 50 Cent totally disses SOHH.com on the red carpet.

I've been meaning to talk about this video for a over a week. I swear I have SOHH many blogs already written out in my head, but there's always SOHH much to do that I forget. But I just heard the song on the radio and I knew I'd have to show luv.

For those of you who don't know I am a big Twitter junkie. I spend most of my day updating all my twitter friends on various event inside scoop. If you don't know what Twitter is I suggest you do a google search. Think of it as live blogging. I've decided to start doing blogs on my Twitter updates from various events that I attend. Check out my first Twitter update below.
With all the parties that happened over the past couple of days you know everyone is waiting to see who's going to get crowned as the King of the BET weekend. And while the verdict is still out on that one, I know who was the king of the brunches. At least according to Gyant. Check it out below.

What a weekend! Though I still need to go through all the video, I got some some pictures from all the various events. Check it out below.



Happy Sunday folks! I thought that I'd give you all a lil' tidbit of video from this years 2008 BET Hip-Hop Awards red carpet. I have SOHH much footage from the entire weekend that I am going to be sprinkling it throughout SOHH Atlanta over the course of next week. Of course I'll get you all the most important stuff first thing Monday morning. But for now enjoy the footage.



While I'm still collecting various BET Hip-Hop Award weekend footage, I was checking the SOHH News department. And a new report on Dallas "Damn" Austin had me slamming on my breaks while I was driving....and I'm not kidding.




Ludacris gave the city of Atlanta a first look at his new movie - which hit's movie theaters today - with a big red carpet premiere at the Rialto Theater last night. You know I was in the building. Check out the pics and video below.


Since I'm preparing for the BET Hip-Hop Awards weekend I don't have much to give you today. I mean I still have a new Asher Roth video that I need to get you guys, but I haven't even started the editing on it [I know, Scooter]. However, in the meantime I thought I'd bless you all with another SOHH Atlanta Music Mix. And also explore why SOHH many people in Atlanta hate the housewives.




The Atlanta premiere for Ludacris' new action flick Max Payne is tonight. But there are still a few free tickets left for you to come and be apart of the red carpet event.




If you didn't know tomorrow kicks off the third annual BET Awards and anyone who lives here already knows that the parties and events are going yo be going to be pretty crazy. But if I were you I wouldn't throw my money away on just anybody's party. Check out some places that I can guarantee will ensure that you have a good time.

Shoutout to DTP's Willy Northpole. The Arizona MC has been grinding it out for a minute and now he's finally dropped a new video for his debut album. Check it out below. Is it poppin' or floppin'?




Y'all better recognize my skills. Did the inspiration from Beyonce's new song come from a SOHH Atlanta post I did years ago?




A lot of you may not be aware, but So So Def's, Kadife Sylvester is the main man behind the Lil' Wayne/Static Major "Lollipop" song. But did you all know that it wasn't even meant for Wayne? The song was originally recorded for Dem Franchize Boyz..

Over the weekend I decided to get a new tattoo. I haven't gotten one in over ten years, and I had been hearing about this hip-hop tattoo artist in Atlanta who is in a class all his own. I decided to do a blog about my tat experience. It was one of the most painful experiences of my entire life. But I guess it's the only way to earn your ink.



Y'all already know that I'm apart of the Rock City movement. With so much bullsh*t out there, when I find good music I strive to support it. I was surfing YouTube over the weekend and came across an old video/song of the fellas from earlier this year. And though you can tell that the video was made with a very meager budget, the song is tight and has a dope message that you all need to absorb.

Damn, I haven't talked about anything Block ENT in a min. But they hitting the streets in attempt to get the young people to go out and vote, and that's always a good thing. Check out their voter initiative below.




It warms my heart to know that someone else is stepping up and calling out hip-hop for all the f*ckery.

Ludacris fans listen up! The rapper turned actor has linked up with SOHH Atlanta for an exclusive give away. Who's interested in attending the star-studded Atlanta premiere for Max Payne?



There aren't many people who excite me in hip-hop these days SOHH when a rapper catches my attention, I usually go above and beyond to embrace them and show luv.  Last month I put you all on to I-20's track "I Like Her"  feat Ludacris and Rocko. And now that the video's out, you know I got it for today's Poppin' or Floppin' video of the week. Check it out.




No disrespect to Tip, but if I can get movies, a number one album, a new clothing line and all the luv in the world from my fans then I think I'd have no problem doing a bid.


Bow Wow and The Game have some serious explaining to do.




Yo, I don't know about you, but I've been laying low since these high ass gas prices and shortages have gotten out of control. However, thankfully for us Exclusiveaccess.net and Julia Beverly were out and about in the ATL.

Check below for some pictures on this past weekends homecoming.




Akon is making waves with a new track off his upcoming album, Freedom. But the minute I saw the title of the song, I knew I wouldn't like it. And this time I got some peeps who are agreeing with me.

Shout out to Lil' John on the new deal.

 

I've got to take this opportunity to say that I take back everything I've said about the true King of the south, Clifford Harris, Jr AKA T.I.

It's no mystery that the music industry is struggling, but can Beyonce, 50 Cent, Kanye West, Ludacris, Ciara, Andre 3000 and Jay-Z save it this fourth quarter? And why in the hell are people sleeping on Big Boi??


It's being reported that Ludacris has pushed back his album, Theater Of The Mind eliminating his hopes of becoming "Mr. October". But why does it seem like nobody cares?

Written By SOHH Gyant

T.I., Alphamega, DJ Drama and Kuntry King all stopped through Erik Parker's popular "Parker Report". And the subject of the day was T-Pain and that damn Vocoder. Check out what they had to say below.

Today I got something that I know a lot of you guys have been waiting for. Rock City's "Put The F*ckin' Album Out" Mixtape is finally available! And you already know I got it for you below.

 

Luda

Ludacris made a questionable apperance on Marta Stewarts day time talk show. Check it out below.

Bigboi


While there's clearly some problems going on with Big Boi's new album Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty because the release date is still up in the air. However, that's not preventing the southern MC from getting some luv from GQ magazine. Check out some pictures from magazine spread below.
