SOHH Atlanta

So what did you all think about BET's first Hip-Hop Music Awards? I am very interested in your thoughts and opinions. I have already spoken on how I felt about the show. Watching it last night didn't make me feel any different. But there's one thing I just can't ignore. What was up with Katt Williams opening monologue addressing Jay-Z and Beyoncé as "King and Queen" and Nas and Keilis and "Prince and Princes" what kind of bullshit is that?

And now that I think about it — where the hell was Nas?? I knew somebody major was missing but I couldn't put my finger on it!!!

That's it. I'm packing my bags and moving my ass down to Atlanta. I've only spent three days there and fell in love several times over. Ha! The city must have made quite an impression on me if I wanna move without having been to a strip club.

I'm allergic to poultry, so I was glad to not see any birds in the A. I mean, I assume that they can be found everywhere, but I just didn't encounter any during my stay. I came in contact with nothing but friendly, well-mannered women down there, from the diner waitresses to the local BET freelancers. Busted chicks were quite scarce.

My man Frank Ski of V103 made a very good point the other day on "The Frank Ski and Wanda Morning Show." He talked about how disappointed he was with the Hip Hop Awards 2006 — particularly its lack of inclusion of female MCs. It’s funny he mentioned it because that's also one of the first things I noticed. They didn't have one female rap category, nor did they have any female performers. NYC rapper Remy Martin echoed mine and Frank's thoughts while being interviewed in the media tent during the taping of the show. I got inside word from an executive producer of the show who said the ONLY reason why there were no visible female rap participants was because the BET Music Awards had categories that were specifically for the ladies. My response to that is — "that's bullshit!!"

Before any of you slam me about not knowing anything, let me agree with you. I don't know jack about Atlanta or the south. I'm a New Yorker in the A for the BET Hip-Hop Awards and I've been walking around looking lost since I got here. But let me tell you one thing I know, Atlanta ain't going nowhere. Artists and execs from other regions have been saying things go in cycle, saying that the A now has their time to hold the crown. Well, actually anybody hoping to clinch the top spot will have to share it with A-Town.
