Keinon Johnson over at Interscope reminded me that today is the of Biggie's death. And to celebrate his memory he got with his producers to show their respect.
Here's the email I got from Keinon:
Gyant, today is the Anniversary of Biggie's death and I had my producers (Sweatbox Productions) to a remix mixtape with their beats to celebrate his life. I know you have this online game on lock so if you could post it for us on your blog, I'd be extremely appreciative.
Since SOHH Atlanta has SOHH much luv for the people at Interscope and Biggie I found it fitting to show some luv today. Plus, flattery will get you everywhere with me. LOL.

Oh And Before I Forget....
I know it's a little old now, but check out what Lowkey over at BET had to add about the comedic "Ocean's 5". Check it out:
Let's be clear, I'm all for anyone and everyone voicing their opinion on topics that bother them (an exercise you're observing now), but when it begins to drag on for minutes upon minutes, well, it's perceived as the highest level of hate.
Now I'm a fan of JD and his "Ocean's Five" crew because, to be honest, these dudes are entertaining and love to have a good ol' time. Slick commentary, continuous alcohol consumption, endless nights of festive behavior; AWESOME. Hell, JD's YouTube series even generated an interest in his career that A LOT of people didn't care for (Yeah I Said It)
But when these five fools thought it would be interesting to do an 8-minute video about how fugly Christina Milian's new look is....well that sh*t is just absurd. Yeah, I've said some harsh things in the past around these parts, but NEVER directed it at anyone's personal appearance, only at the craft they produce for the masses. Am I a fan on how shorty doo wop looks?? Of course not, but that's what SHE chose to do.
Now, if we're going to nit pick at appearances, let's make sure the people around us are in tip-top condition. Example #1: Tameka Foster-Raymond! Aye Usher, you might wanna back up off C.Milian's new look because last time I checked, wifey wasn't THAT easy on the eyes. I mean, let's be real, shorty's more manly looking than Madea (Yep, I SAID IT). And aren't we a TAD bit too old to be sporting the scullys with the brims??? [Source]
Now Lowkey is one of today's most celebrity friendliest bloggers. SOHH I know if he's agreeing with me, and many other bloggers out there then JD might want to seriously re-think going any further with this ish.
I'm just sayin'
Talk to y'all lata,
