Can Somebody Please "Turn The Page" On Bobby Valentino?!?
Wednesday. 2.14.07 12:30 am
DTP Recording artist and Ludacris protégé –Bobby Valentino is trying to capture a portion of his success from his previous album by releasing another track from his upcoming album. His new album “Special Occasion” was supposed to be released in the fourth quarter of last year (so I’ve heard), but was pushed back until February 14th for “Valentine’s Day”. However, when I went on Amazon.com this is the information they have listed for Bobby Valentino’s new album
Product Details
• Audio CD (December 10, 2010)
• Original Release Date: December 12, 2006
• Number of Discs: 1
• Label: Def Jam
So at this point, you can see that somebody over at DTP/Def Jam aint doing their job.
I feel the need to share an interesting story about me and Bobby Valentino. When I first moved to Atlanta a couple of years ago, I used to work in this small affluent part of Atlanta called “Vinnings”. I worked in the prestigious building called “Overlook III”
In this building there is a country club (and rumored DTP records headquarters) that a few celebrities attended. And one day, while walking in the hallway, I ran into none other then Mr. Bobby Valentino himself. First off, I had just started O1LT.com
http://o1lt.com/so my “celebrity exposure” was minimal at the time. But, when I ran into the semi-celebrity I didn’t realize it was him. He is MUCH smaller in person. Seeing that I stand 6”8, I don’t usually notice people under 5”9.
He was dressed in athletic gear, with his juicy hair firmly in place. He came up to me and asked me to help him find the country club that is located in the building. While walking him towards the location, I realized exactly who he was. So being the “journalist” that I am I immediately, but subtlety, starting asking him questions. My questions were VERY soft ball. Questions like “Are you Bobby Valentino”, “Do you live around Here”, etc. But his responses were so cold and uninteresting that his demeanor expressed his annoyance by me even talking to him.
Once I realized the coldness, I immediately stopped dead in my tracks and motioned him to where he could find his destination. I though to myself, you aint no Usher Kidd. I mean, the idea that this kat needed my help, yet couldn’t entertain my questions for just a moment while I am walking him to where needs to go was unbelievable to me.
Minutes after leaving Bobby to fend for himself, I ran into him again on the other side of the building still trying to find The Vinnings Club. By now he was looking completely frustrated and defeated because he didn’t know where in the hell he was going. But what I immediately noticed was how some random girl was acting like a complete groupie. She was screaming, and acting out all over the place. You would have thought Michael Jackson himself was in the building the way she carried on. But, Bobby happily entertained her while still looking for his destination. Whether or not he found the location that he was looking for or not, I never found out. But, in that moment I learned a very valuable lesson. The lesson I learned that day is to never look at a celebrity as anything more then just a celebrity. Should you ever meet a famous person, simply nod your head, and keep it moving. Do not give them your energy or expect them to give you theirs. At the end of the day, they have no impact on your “real-life”, but you do have a major impact on theirs i.e. CD sales, concert tickets, and endorsement deals.
I’ve run into Bobby several times around the city at various events. Of course he doesn’t know who I am or remember the day he was relying on me to help him. But, I have never forgotten that moment. Now when I see him at an event I pretend as if he doesn’t exists. And by the looks of his fleeting singing career, I think it’s safe to say he really doesn’t.
I’ve picked Bobby Valentino’s new single “Anonymous” as SOHH Gyant’s Download of the Day. I figure he needs all the help he can get. “I’m throwing you a bone Bobby, catch it!”

BOBBY VALENTINO THINKS "A LOT OF R&B SINGERS DON'T LIKE WOMEN"
Friday. 4.6.07 6:01 am
I just read this interview that Bobby V did with
Bossip,and he said that some of R&B singers don't like women. He also goes on to say that these singers got everybody fool'd. I wonder why he said such a comment.
What I wanna know is which R&B singers are he referring too?
Could it be Ne-Yo,and to think about it their aren't a lot of male R&B singers out really
I think about Chris Brown, Ne-Yo,Marques Houston,Omarion.Those are the main ones could it be one of them. I don't know, but Bobby V knows or at least he think she does.
Why does he even care about them not liking women?
I have a lot of questions, and I guess its because they have everybody fool'd into thinking their straight.
