And there I was minding my own business when......



.....Ocean's Five or Six, I lose count posted a high octane, and some would say embarrassing, new video's recently. But, the video below leads me to believe that these videos can't be real.

Is this the type of clients 5WPR is rolling w/ these days? Somebody call Patty Webster pronto tinto!



See this is why I don't drink. Alcohol will make a fool out of you EVERY TIME!

However, I think all these shenanigans is a clear sign that Mr. Jermaine Dupri is going through a midlife crisis. My Pops is acting the same way. I mean it's bound to happen. Older gentleman wake up one day and get hit in the forehead with the memo that they are no longer a spring chicken. More often then not the news comes as bit of a shock and instead of absorbing the fact that it's a wrap, they often times resort to pushing their limits more then ever.

This often times leave old geezer's resorting to large amounts of alcohol that at one point was handled with no problem. However in their older years they visibly struggle. Exhibit A, the video above.

Let's hope this passes soon because if JD keeps this up I fear he may become the laughing stock of the music industry. Well, at least on the urban side. I mean he's already gonna have to defend Bow Wow's third consecutive flop - which is gonna be followed by the teeney boopper MC, who's in his twenties I might add.

And what's up with this Door 44 crap. Are you kidding me with this Alex. But that's another topic for another day.

Oh And Before I Forget....



 After more then a decade the Atlanta staple that many have come to know and love is no longer.

Jermaine Dupri's "Welcome To Atlanta So So Def" sign has been taken down.

I was coming from out of town when I noticed it had been removed. I thought I had passed it, but after driving back down 75 and coming back up again it was no mistake the sign is no longer.

After slightly digging around I hear the sign was simply too expensive in these troubled times. You would've thought that they city of Atlanta would've kept it up. But I guess our Mayor has bigger problems than a damn JD sign.

Personally, I am saddened that the historic billboard is no longer. 

It seems like everything we once knew is changing with each passing day. Da Brat is in jail, Bow Wow is a grown man, JD has ARGUABLY fallen off and Xscape is..well u know. What a way to end a legacy.

What do I tell my people's who drive into town now? Look out for the Varsity sign???

Talk to y'all lata,

God Damn!!!! This is a major blow to southern Hip-Hop in my opinion...I know the east coast can give a shit, but to the south and especially to Georgia, that sign meant a lot...When I use to live in Fl and drive up to the A of course you would see the sign clear as day on 75...It made me having a feeling like "Ahh shit, this is were black folk be making major moves at"!!! FUCK!!! I mean, I knew that sign wasn't going to last forever, but you would never think cause that bitch had been up for so fucking long. That was big JD... And I don't think nobody else in Hip-Hop has had their own billboard...If they did, it wasn't as monumental as yours...Real Talk!

I'll have to agree with that, that's why I don't care to drink.

"I know the east coast can give a shit" Hilarious but check this out, fans from the East respect rappers who spit (Luda, Jeezy) and don't respect the trash coming out of the South (Stanky Leg, PLIES, Rick Ross etc). Its like a kick to the nutz when we see these trash a$$ rappers rhymin about candy paint for 100 bars and trappin.

As for blaming it on the alcohol, I have been quoted as saying this since High School........HANDLE YA LIQUOR.
