SOHH Atlanta

Everyone was pumping their fists last week for T.I. with his super big album sales. As impressive as it was, I consciously wanted to lay low on the congratulatory actions because I wanted to see what this week was going to be.

As much as I wanted to hate on him for all his high-octane antics recently, I can’t do it because the pint sized, hey, I get my zingers where I can, rapper’s new album is still holding strong.

I know the headline is kinda f*cked up but when I saw these pictures I coudlnt help it.

The streetz are all a buzz about the new Gucci Mane diss track against the self proclaimed King of The South T.I.

I got so many emails asking me why I haven’t addressed this obviously intentional spit on SOHH Atlanta, that I decided that I would.

I know I had promised that I wasn’t going to talk about T.I. anymore. But Tuesday’s WBLS Wendy Williams Experience was a special one, so I had to bring it to the SOHH readers. T.I. made his debut on the resident loud-mouth’s nationally syndicated radio program.

To say the conversation was explosive is an understatement. Wendy’s trusty sidekick Charlamagne Tha God held no punches back as he questioned T.I. on everything from DJ Toomp, to DJ Drama and everything in between. Toomp also called in to clear up the rumors surrounding the two southern talents.

Check out the exclusive audio below…It is not to be missed.

Trust me I know. I’ve talked about T.I. so much these past two weeks I'm even sick of him right about now. But this is T.I. week on SOHH so I got to do what I got to do.

I was scratching my head tying to figure out what I could post that would really interest you guys. As I started to search my usual “go-to” sites I ran across a recent interview SOHH Fabulous did on her popular blog, YBF.blogspot.com, where she sits down with the dual personality lyricist.

It was total fluff, but interesting all the same.

I promise you all this will be the last post I do on T.I. for a minute. It seems like I’ve talked about him at least 15 times in the past two weeks.

Grand Hustle and Atlantic Records please make the check payable to…..I’m just kidding.

Nah but for real though T.I. killed it on Rap City’s Freestyle and I thought Id post it to get ya thoughts.

This post is strictly for the fans. I have nothing to say either way.

It was bound to happen. And now with T.I.’s scuffle with Chaka Zulu, that most are saying the dual-personality lyricist initiated. I find it somewhat poetic justice that his new album is rapidly spreading throughout the internet.

I was going to post the tracks on SOHH.com but lawd knows I don’t need lil homie , or one of his goons, stepping at me at the next event I go to where he is on the guest list. So I while I won't post the tracks here…..

I will leave some breadcrumb's for you all to get it for yourselves…

What’s good everybody,

While many people think that T.I. is in fact the King of The South. It seems that he’s not the king of residential neighborhoods, or at least one particular neighborhood here in Atlanta, GA.

According to published reports, when the one hundred and twenty pound—soaking wet rapper—went to purchase his new dream home, the seller’s response was “no sale.”

I got the opportunity to get an exclusive advanced listening to the self proclaimed "King of The South's" new album over the weekend at a private listening session, and I got to admit that project isn't half bad.

I mean let's be real: Will the album make a few million dollars? "Yes". But will T.I. vs. Tip go down as a classic album? I hate to say it, but "No"!

Out of all the tracks I listened to there were really only two I absolutely didn't like. Check out my exclusive video below.

See, this is why I love T.I.!! Say what you will about him, but the brutha is consistent.

I got a new track from his highly anticipated album “TI vs. Tip”. This track which features Haiti's golden MC ,Wyclef Jean, is banging.

You know I got "You Know What It Is" available for you to listen to exclusively on SoHH Atlanta

T.I.'s new video has been released for "Big Things Poppin" and of course the Gyant got it for y'all to check out. I dont know what I think about this video. I dont know how I feel about the video just yet. I mean there really isnt anything original about it.

Maybe its just me.

OK, so last week I did a post on T.I. telling everybody to respect his gangsta when it comes to going to a T.I. concert. But now I’m starting to think that his on stage rants are possibly apart of the act.

A fan of SoHH Atlanta sent over a video where the self proclaimed “King of The South” performed at Cornell University. But get this, when someone tossed some water on stage TI’s rage gave me a strong sense of Déjà vu. Check out the video after the jump!

This is one of the reasons why I got a lot of Luv for T.I. - he’s just a real dude. I just obtained a video of T.I. performing at Bentley College in Boston Mass.

In this video clip Clifford is trying to put on a good show for his fans when some bold kat tries to be funny and tosses something on the stage towards the Bankhead bred rap star. What happens next??? Find out after the jump!

We all remember the much talked about physical feud TI had with Houston rapper Lil Flip right? If you don’t remember it all that much, Tip talked about it candidly on popular radio station—107.9 having this to say:

TI is addressing all the hoopla surrounding his genre of music and according to the pint sized rapper, we’ve got bigger problems other then hip-hop—George Bush!

I can’t express how hyped I am to hear TI’s new CD.

Though it seems that his new song “Big Shit Poppin” has many on the fence, I think T.I. is one of the tightest rappers currently on the charts today. *Please note, I didn’t say the best ever*.

And it’s apparent that his playalistic southern style has transcended cultural boundaries as is shown in his new commercials for Chevrolet. Check them out!

Sandra Rose just broke word on her entertainment website that T.I. will be headlining the 6th installment of the wildly successful SCREAM Tour series.

Apparently a well placed source leaked the information to her and like any good blogger worth their own salt would do. She posted it immediately.

However, when I placed a call to Mauldin Brand Agency a few moments ago I was informed that the official word is “no comment”. So you know what that means.

Finally, T.I.’s new song has dropped and I like it!

I know a lot of kats argue over who’s the tighest MC in ATL, and though I won’t comment as to who I think is the best, I do think that TI is in easily in the top 5. Fuck that—the Top three!!

What’s good? I’m going to post the remaining snippet from this article that I found on one of Atlanta’s most popular artsts—T.I.

But first I got to address something about some recent comments people have been making towards my news reporting ability.

Seeing that I live in the same city as the legendary Sandra Rose, often times we travel in virtually the same entertainment circles and have a lot of the same contacts. That also means that we often times share the same news.

It’s no different from other bloggers like Angel and Brian from Concreteloop.com, Fresh from Crunk & Disorderly, Myra from Panachereport.com, Clay from ClayCane.net, PJ from TheHipHopPublicist.blogspot.com, Tasha from ybf.blogspot.com, etc!

Y’all need to get over the notion that news is some how reserved for one media outlet, because I can assure you its not. If I’m walking down the street and I see TI getting arrested (knock on wood) don’t you think that within an hour V103, HOT107.9, 95.5 The Beat, Sandra, The AJC, and others won’t be talking about it?

It just doesn’t make much sense if you think about it. It’s always good to break the story, but it’s always most important to tell the story.

I’ve said my peace about it; now let’s get back to T.I.

Though T.I.’s personal life may be a bit shaky with the unfortunate bereavement he and Tiny are enduring. His professional career is thriving. Not only has Clifford (that’s his real name in case you weren’t aware) has reaped the benefits of multiple platinum plaques, endorsement deals and a bevy of musical acknowledgements, including Grammys.

He’s also hard at work signing artists to his semi-popular “Grand Hustle Records”, (The mix-tape king DJ Drama, is on Grand Hustle.) and producing films with his up and coming motion picture Production Company - Grand Hustle Films. And if that’s not enough already, he is also hard at work in the studio putting the finishing touches on his fourth coming album “T.I. vs. T.I.P”. due to hit store in June.

Entertainment Weekly writer Ethan Brown had the prestigious opportunity to sit in the studio and absorb a piece of Timbaland’s beat skills, and T.I.’s lyrical ability.

King of beats and hits, Timbaland, touched down in ATL recently while on tour with Justin Timberlake. And he wasted no time getting into arguably the best rapper of the south’s studio to make so music history.

Here’s a snippet from the article:

''I got almost 60 songs already,'' T.I. announces, reeling off the names of big-name producers (Wyclef Jean and Mannie Fresh among them) who have already contributed beats to his new release. Then T.I. plays snippets from several of the tracks he's completed, including a fierce collaboration with Southern superstars Lil' Wayne and Young Jeezy. ''Whoo!'' Tim cries, nodding his head to the beat. ''Them n---as is a problem. Ya'll should start a group together.''

Last week I shared with you all the most heart breaking news I’ve ever had to share with an audience. While most people who read blogs look at it as entertainment, I try my best to put soul into my work. When I first heard about Tiny’s unfortunate news I was really torn because though I wanted to break the story, I had to decide what price was I willing to pay for sharing such private, if not the most ultimately private news there is.

Though I shared the story with my audience (you guys) I walked the tight rope of sharing the tragic news enough but not too much. I believe that I effectively balanced my bloggeristic integrity while also sharing the story.

What disappointed me the most was the outrageous comments that were made towards the loss of a life. While I can understand that this blog has become the place to hate, and spew venom towards various subject matters, I would like to think that we all have a filter in ourselves that would allow human decency to shine through.

At the end of the day we all have a mother or a sister and a miscarriage is the toughest thing a woman will ever have to deal in life. If something negative pops in your head today regarding the Hip-Hop couple, think about the women in your life and try to make a better choice and not post.

It seems that the beautiful weather had everybody out their house this weekend, including the car robbers.

It’s being reported that Atlantic Artist DG Yola , got served a gun shout wound that’s reminiscent of 50 cent’s legendary criminal attack.

While the details are sketchy at the moment, what is known is that Yola (Da Great) was shot in the face after robbers tried to hijack his luxury automobile. The unknown assailants released gun shots into the car as DG Yola sat a red light that reportedly entered one side of his cheek and exited the other. Yola is in stable condition at an Atlanta area hospital.

It’s good to see that the “King of The South’s’ success hasn’t gone to his head. With millions of records sold, his own record label, multiple accolades, and a pretty decent night club in Bankhead—“Club Crucial”, its good see that T.I. is still holding down his original chick, former member of Xscape—Tiny.

My homegirl, Sandra Rose (who runs the popular photography/and celebrity news website Sandrarose.com) spoke to Tiny’s mother and exclusively and has found out the following information.

What’s da deal everybody?
Today, we are taking a break from "Atlanta’s Own". So many things happened this week in Atlanta I got to give you the entire scoop on who did what, where, and how.

Wednesday night, Atlanta’s Top Tier entertainers touched down at popular hot spot Atlantic Station for the highly anticipated "steppin" feature film "Stomp The Yard".

If you haven't heard what this movie's about, read the quick film synopsis below:
After the death of his younger brother, a troubled 19-year-old street dancer from Los Angeles is able to bypass juvenile hall by enrolling in the historically black, Truth University in Atlanta, Georgia. But his efforts to get an education and woo the girl he likes are sidelined when he is courted by the top two campus fraternities, both of which want and need his fierce street-style dance moves to win the highly coveted national step show competition.

What’s up Family?

You know what time it is. We got another video from one of Atlanta’s most popular rappers, TI. Lil dude is like the new Puffy. Do you remember how Puffy Combs was dropping hits like every month at the height of his career? That’s how I’m looking at TI. Though he had a slow start with his first two albums (compared to his current national success), he is living proof to all of us to keep striving.

Here is his new video:
TI - "Top Back" (Remix). The video is hot and the Grand Hustle crew embraces the southern culture with the big cars, thick women, and our signature playeristic style.

Is it Poppin or Floppin?

Yo! What's up with the comments yesterday did anybody stop by to check ya homeboi out? What's up with that family? I got that fiyah for you today lets get into it.

I love a dude on his grind and T.I. is for damn sure on his. My home girl Sandra at SandraRose.com put me on to this new information. Atlanta's own rap superstar T.I. just closed on a $4.3 million home on the Southside of Atlanta today. According to the property listing, the three-story six-bedroom, eight-bath mansion sits on 1.7 acres offering stunning lake views, a swimming pool, dock and boathouse. The interior boasts a two-story foyer, cathedral ceiling, banquet dining room with separate dining area, master suite with mahogany paneled study, nursery, custom gourmet kitchen with double ovens, keeping room & fireplace, exercise room and indoor theater.
