The Atlanta BET Hip-Hop Atlanta Awards of Atlanta Blog!
Friday. 11.17.06 10:25 am
As you all probably know, last night was the first of what’s likely to be over 750 airings of the BET Hip-Hop Awards, colorfully hosted by America’s favorite Pimpin’ Negro Leprechaun, Katt Williams. As you all also probably know, my expectations of both The Negro Channel and common contemportary rappers ain’t all that high either. I pretty much spent two hours waiting for Eat Dirt to get hit with an aluminum fold-up chair so that we might actually have been entertained.
Playing to the home field, ‘twas most certainly an excellent idea to start with “Welcome to Atlanta.” That Luda verse is still amazing. Too bad they didn't let him finish it. Shortly into the broadcast I was beat in the back of the head with the prevailing question “When exactly did Atlanta become the center of the hip-hop universe?”
I thought the official introduction was clever in concept. As a nigga that has seen “The Pimp Chronicles pt. 1” approximately 27 times to date, I expected a little more from President Williams. I also find the need to add that Tiger Woods (the ninety-percenter) is not hip-hop. I don’t give a fuck how much denied nigger lies in his heritage. We can’t claim him.
I was pretty damn excited that they threw to my award (best video) right off the bat until that monkeyface PuffiDiddy immediately defined greatness in music videos purely as stuntin. Thanks to coon ass niggas like these, Lupe got robbed. I aint even wanna cover the eventual winner, "What You Know." That's how fucking uninteresting this video is.
Surprise of the program: The cipher sessions. I can’t even front or hate. The Papoose, Lupe and Styles session was pretty damn fresh. Reminds me of when I used to bang on that lunch table and freestyle crack on niggas’ divorcing parents and unexpected pregnancies. Ah, high school. How I miss thee.
Wayne and Baby didn't kiss, but they performed their 69 song on stage. What kinda bloods are these niggas supposed to be? Period blood? I wanted to wipe my television screen with a Stayfree watching Birdman parade with them red flags dangling from the right pocket.
Rick Ross may not know The Real Noriega, but the nigga damn sure know The Real Sideshow Bob.
You know what’s really that shit?! That aint just awake Snoop. Nigga might actually be sober! I haven’t seen this motherfucker move with such coherent and deliberate coordination since "Gin and Juice." Arruh Kelly warn’t allowed at the awards because Lil' Bow Wow was there. Granted, he was on Jermaine Dupri’s lap, but he was there and a court order is a court order. Reccomendation: If Kelly can't be there, let the band do what it do. Spend some of the hash fund on useful shit such as background SANGERS instead of booty dancers... By all means, don't sing it yourself, Calvin!
Stringer Bell and Avon Barksdale in the motherfuckin house! Every time I see Idris Elba in action I’m disappointed by how NOT Stringer DJ Driis is. Where the fuck did Russell Bell get that scarf? That is indeed an ASScot. Is Wood Harris always that awkward? Did you know that these niggas rap too? Yes. As expected, they are fucking horrible.
Doesn’t Chamillionaire's hatred of the spotlight just warm your heart? His sickening displays of Christian humility are always a bit humbling. The man always makes me almost feel bad about burying him on the "Ridin'" review.
Remy look like a ghetto skunk. Broad look like Pepe LePew with doorknockers on. Gotta do something with that stripe. This ain’t Gremlins 2, bitch.
Damn. Game really made Junior Reid squawk over a massacred version of his own classic. I'm saddened by that. Cham was cool with it like a motherfucker. I remember those days when Junior Reid being there, even if exploited, would have been enough for me, too. Back to Butterfly Boy. Nigga bent his neck around off the stage like Mr. Fantastic to give Jay-Z a Bee-J. Why he always gotta dedicate shit? If you really wanna please Mr. Carter, why don’t you take a spot of his advice? Just rhyme, homie.
I know this is unrelated, but I love these inspirational ass Carmelo commercials. Too bad he knocked up LaLa. That’s a tragedy for any young nigga on the come up. Motoboat? Yes. Baby Daddy? No.
Flav and Devonte did not have to be so tacky. That's fucking disgusting! “At least the Nitro got good shocks. *coon cheese*” I’m glad our favorite hip-hop dope fiend received such a warm welcome, but shit… THIS is what was supposed to propel flavor to hip-hop royalty? Lest we forget this nigga’s contribution to our genre and culture were tangible and substantial at one point. Before his crack grill and lovelife were a complete joke, 911 was.
T.I.P. vs. T.I. Isn't that the eternal battle? Little Red Riding Hood was angry after Busta called out all these rappers and their limp-dick stage shows! Baby and Son didn't look too ecstatic to see B.G. Luda however, looked like he loved what he saw from the T.I. contingent. I smell a kiss and make-up collabo!
Snowman and his tired ass hoes need to go. Bitch looked like she was about to die when she did her firehooker slide 'round the pole. That was it for her. Creative time was over. Back to the generic pop.
Common had better shit to do than attend these awards, huh? I dunno, he’s working on movies and shit… Getting over the last leg of the Badu Mind Flu. I feel him. Glad my nigga got that recognition though. This was the validator award. Next year it's gonna go to some bum ass nigga like Young Jeezy or some shit. I promise.
God damn, Jimmy Jones. What’s the point of putting the jeans on? No one wants to see your fucking ass. Nigga smell like a cab with the AC broke. Good job singing over your complete track WITH your hypeman! You suck, dude.
Katt Williams came out in his official Dipset uniform: Beat It Edition. Slickback and The Diplomats… What strange bedfellows.
Grandmaster Flash looks and sounds like Mos Def in Hitchikers' Guide To The Galaxy. Living in the age of so-called DJs that merely get niggas to pay them to add their selections to compilations without even an afterthought of mixing makes this homage all the more refreshing.
Walkin it out is fun. I'm finna beat down my block.
Last season’s “Orange Weave Of The Year” award winner, Keyshia Cole announced the final award for MVP. Big L’s not on the list, but according to her, each of these niggas are blameless to the degree that they can't be hated on? Sheeeeeit! Bet I hated on every nigga on the list. Don’t never let no GED student like Keyshia Cole tell you that you can’t exercise your right to dissent! I ain’t even gonna get into Puffy, Jigga, Luda or Tippy… I’m gonna just put it out there. Yung Joc aint no damn MVP candidate. He ain’t even Horace Grant. He ain't Jesse Jackson... Michael Dukakis. Nothin.
In conclusion, I have to reiterate what Money Mike so wholeheartedly expressed to you children. Do not... I repeat... Do NOT even APPROACH the airport with a gun or a stun baton in your luggage. In fact, play it safe. Stuff a white person in your carry-on.
This program could have been a lot worse, but don’t think I’m gonna start thanking or going soft on The Negro Channel. BET still sucks slaveship vomit. Blee dat.
I read about this on MTO so I had to go to her twitter page @kmichellemusic to see if this was true. It was true, the guy she claims abused her while they were dating is now dating Lil Wayne's baby mother Toya. I don't know why she choose to reveal this now, and on twitter. My question is should she have talked to him about this before discussing it on twitter. Maybe she just jealous of the relationship he has with his new girlfriend Antonia Carter. Who knows, right?
Below is K.Michelle's confession via @kmichellemusic
Memphitz reaction to all the drama posted of MTO:
Below is one of her new songs off her new mixtape:K.Michelle ft. Rick Ross
Don't know if this song has anything to do with her alledgy being abused by Memphitz.
Update:Word is Lil Wayne heard about this and wants his ex to leave Memphitz alone and keep him away from their daughter. Question is will Toya listen to Lil Wayne especially if she really values his opinion. If she is in love with him like I'm hearing she is chances are you won't leave him alone.
The Kiss ... Is it Really that Serious? Crime Mobb's New Joint
Tuesday. 11.7.06 10:27 am
For all of you who can't let it go, let's put this to rest once and for all ...
We all know that fathers and sons can be affectionate, but really tight homeboys is a new one. The kiss Baby gave his “son” Lil’ Wayne has been highly publicized throughout the Hip Hop community, and of course everyone has something to say about it. Now if you have seen the picture, I am sure you have joined the chorus of people yelling “Aw, hell no!”
But you have to look at a few simple things. First, is that the picture demonstrating the kiss was taken a very long time ago. It is clear that Lil Wayne was a teen and he is now in his 20’s. Second, if what they possess is genuinely a father-son type relationship, then it clearly was not sexually based, there for not homosexual. Still, the hip hop community has raised questions about Lil’Wayne and Baby’s sexuality. Wayne who has been praised and was the envy of many men for dating rapper Trina and now dates Solange Knowles, has defended his relationship with Baby in radio interviews, offering that the kiss was more “mafia-style” and that he and Baby are members of the New Orleans Black Mafia. Baby simply defends it by saying it was a term of endearment like a father would give to a son.
Regardless of what it is, the question must be posed, Is it really that serious? We are all aware that hip hop is extremely homophobic, but sometimes some things just go too far. If you look at the picture once more, you can see that none of the people around them seem bothered or offended by it. So maybe it was Mafia based or just a term of endearment that many are not used to, should they be condemned and questioned for it? Is their music any less believable or not as hot? The truth of the matter is, we fear what we don’t understand (or want to understand ). If they say that the kiss was a harmless, nonsexual gesture, they let it be that. But even if it wasn’t, ask yourself, when it comes to their sexual preference, is it really that serious?
First!

Cosign...Why are people trying to make that acceptable? Under no conditions is that acceptable. People don't kiss their real daddy's like that.

While I personally think that shit is way over the line, even for "an effectionate father-son relationship",
you do bring up a good point: they let someone take this picture, which they probably wouldn't if they were realy on some dl shit. Still, that shit is disgusting and not at all gangsta.

Plus, I've been to Nawlins and the only place I seen that type of shit is on the funny end of Burbon St
The Down South Cat Fight, Where is Hip Hop Headed?
Tuesday. 11.7.06 10:32 am
First off, next week is shaping up to be a big week in the city with releases coming from Shareefa, Lil' Boosie and Gucci Mane's long-anticipated "Hard to Kill" album. I'm looking forward to each one of these albums. Even Boosie says that his album is real strong top to bottom (18 of 'em) with no reason to skip through any tracks.
Check in with me next week for my interviews with Shareefa and Lil Boosie.
BEEF!! Did anybody catch the "Queen of the South" battle between Trina, Jacki-O, and Khia. It went down on BET's "Beef: The Series" and it's developing into a nice little catfight. In case you missed it you know BET will run it some ALOT more though. It's like everybody wants a piece of Khia these days? I know she's from Florida but now in Atlanta so she's gotta hold it down. But you know what they say, "If you have people talking about then you must be doing something right."
This weekend, Tom Joyner and "The Skyshow" will be in town doing it up real big at The Atlanta Civic Center on Saturday, Oct. 21st at 8 p.m. Those performing include Cameo, JoJo (Mary Jane Girls), Switch and Kindred. Real heads might recognize some serious sampling that has been done in the game from all of these cats (except Kindred).
I really do try to be as objective as possible, despite what some might think. Yes sir, I love the south but I do try to look at things with a certain amount of obectivity when it comes to this thing called hip hop.
With that said, I have to admit that a great deal of the music coming out of all the regions is bordering on monotony. Real talk, I don't know if it's the beats, the lyrics or what? But the game needs a serious shot in the arm right now.
Are we stuck on punchlines too much? What happened to hip hop commentary on not just one song, but how about the whole album. It means NOTHING if you talk about Hurricane Katrinavictims on one song and the next 15 you're talking about moving bricks for guap. That's just real. The public is a smart public, believe it or not.
Do you remember when it was all good to pick up a Public Enemy, Hank Shocklee -produced disc and never know whether you would get "911 is a Joke," "Hollywood Burn," "Fight The Power" or "Welcome To The Terrordome"... even though the subject matter was different it was all relevant to the people listening. That awareness helped prevent us from being duped, and right now we're being duped as a country (played like a fucking piano as King Tee, Cube etc. would say) by you know who.
Sad part is, all the weight pushing and gloc totin' will make it easy for this flame we call rap to be stomped out when that time comes (there probably will come a time, don't know when -- but there will be an attempt made one day to shut this money maker down, too many cats eatin' ya feel)
But some of the negativity carries no weight. Yeah it's real life and it's what's happening in these streets but why advertise -- let the outsiders come figure out what's going on, why air out our dirty laundry for the world to hear.
And we wonder why we keep getting caught up. There used to be a time when trappin' was done on the low, now everybody want's to speak on it.
That's almost like getting on the field and yelling out, "Yo!!! We running a sweep to the left side!" And wondering why you got gang-tackled on the left side. Wake up, pimpin'!
My bad err'body I just felt like ventin' today...Must be the Tribe in the deck.
I just had to post something where alabama artists come together because bama is definitely on the map now. Plus,I like how Rich Boy sound on this beat,you can understand what he saying more,but anyways enjoy.
