My friend, blogmaster of Myurbanreport.com http://myurbanreport.blogspot.com/ and journalist for Black Family Channel— A.man.I hit the streets last week (February 7th-8th) with Nashville, TN Bad Boy,Young Buck, while filming his latest video “Get Bucked” which is from his sophomore effort "Buck the World." Atlanta's own DJ Polo produced the head nodding track. When asked to describe the feel of his newest track Buck said:
"It's one of those records; it has a lot of energy. It's got a band theme," Buck said from the set on the first night of shooting. "It's one of those party records, and to me, I like to compare it to Fifty Cent's "In The Club," but ten more notches up,"
The music video was directed by Bernard Gourley, and rappers Lil' Scrappy, C-Bo, Hot Rod, Rich Boy, and DJ Polo made cameo appearances. Students from Atlanta's Mt. Zion High School were also featured in several scenes, along with members of Clark Atlanta University's Omega Psi Fi fraternity.
Sha Money XL, President of G Unit records said the album will drop on March 20th and said, it's "incredible."
My dude A.man.I.’s new blog is slowly gaining momentum. I personally had the opportunity to meet him while at that horrible Young Jeezy “secret concert” debacle and we instantly clicked. He’s bringing a fresh new edge to the world of blogging by fusing his journalistic skills and field reporting knowledge together like no one I’ve ever seen.
He’s graciously provided sohh.com with exclusive behind the scenes video footage of Young Buck’s latest video. Look out for more collaborations between myself and A.man.I. in the future.
Thanks again bruh!
In related G-Unit news.
The beef between G-Unit and The Diplomats is reaching a fever pitch. As previously reported by SOHH, "Funeral Music" opens with a hearse rolling by with the words "Cam'ron's Career" on it and later mimics both Jim Jones' "We Fly High" as well as mocking the incident in which Cam's blue Lamborghini was shot up during Howard University's homecoming weekend on Washington,D.C.
True to Hip-Hop battle form, Cam has taken several shots at 50 including his appearance, rhyming, "He looks like a gorilla, with rabbit teeth." Cam also shouts out who he feels is a "real" dude from Queens, Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff with lines like "he ran from police/you run with police/you ain't from South Side/ 'bout to get your mouth wide."

I hate to be unprofessional about this, but I have to let you all in on something. When I posted the Lil Scrappy entry on Friday 2/09/07 http://blogs.sohh.com/atlanta/lil_scrappy/, I found everyone’s post very interesting.
Everybody had good points that were brought up, that got my mind running on an idea.
The idea, which was posted today on Sohh Atlanta and Sohh Houston’s blog was meant to have healthy dialect between Atlanta and Houston’s readers. However, it would appear that not everyone was on board with the idea. It seems that Sohh Houston felt that he was pressured, by whom is not clear, to post this idea on his blog.
Instead of posting the question in a positive way, he blasted the idea totally by saying
These are questions that SOHH Gyant wanted to have on both the Atlanta and Houston blogs for today. While I do think this is a good idea (business wise) I completely disagree with both of the questions and think that they are irrelevant and outdated. First of all, The H and ATL have completely different hip-hop styles. Anyone who can't see that has absolutely no right to speak on hip-hop at all. The question "which city is more responsible for the exposure of Southern hip-hop" makes absolutely no sense.
He went to say:
The last thing I have to say: To me...it is subjects like this that make hip-hop a joke. Who gives a flying fuck who the "originators" of "Southern hip-hop" are? What the fuck does it even mean to "run the South"? Gimme a break man...this is hip-hop...it is music...it's an art. This isn't some whack ass shit where everyone needs to be hating on eachother, starting beef between cities, or claiming shit that they are/aren't responsible for.
While Sohh Houston has the right to voice his opinion, to do so in front of our readers was completely unprofessional and I want to apologize to all of our readers for his outlandish comments. In Hip-Hop, and the streetz there is an important trait that you must have above all else and its Loyalty. Even if he thought my idea was lame, baseless, and fundamentally unimportant. Those issues should be brought up to me or any other Sohh employee behind the scenes, not in front of our 6 million + readers.
SOHH Rezidue has drawn the line in the sand as far as Sohh Atlanta is concerned. Though I am finding it very difficult to not put him on blast, I will take the high road knowing that though everybody is on your team. Sometimes they are not always really on your team.

Alright alright alright what's up ya'll. Today we are gonna get down a dirty with a serious topic that obviously has a lot of people speaking up. The South has been a huge part of hip-hop all over the place the last few years, and has definitely had a huge impact on the state of hip-hop as a whole. Alot of people talk about H Town and the ATL as the main cities of hip-hop in the South (and this is true), but which city is more responsible for the exposure of Southern hip-hop nation-wide? Which city really runs the South?
These are questions that SOHH Gyant wanted to have on both the Atlanta and Houston blogs for today. While I do think this is a good idea (business wise) I completely disagree with both of the questions and think that they are irrelevant and outdated. First of all, The H and ATL have completely different hip-hop styles. Anyone who can't see that has absolutely no right to speak on hip-hop at all. The question "which city is more responsible for the exposure of Southern hip-hop" makes absolutely no sense. While Southern hip-hop might have a certain flavor that distinguishes it from other regions...there is no "Southern hip-hop"...there is no "Northern hip-hop"...there is hip-hop and there are different styles of hip-hop with different trends, flavors, and tendencies. Houston is completely different from Atlanta hip-hop wise. I got love for some Atlanta artists (T.I., Ludacris, Young Jeezy), but none of those guys, to me, have any comparison to Houston hip-hop. ATL has it's own swagger...it's own style...Houston does it's thing and Atlanta does it's thing on it's own too. As far as who is responsible with the exposure of Southern hip-hop...I myself would have to say that overall Houston is more responsible. Whether you like it or not H Town, Scarface, Getto Boys, DJ DMD, DJ Screw, S.U.C, and many others are what alot of people think of as the originators of Southern hip-hop. That is all I have to say about that. You guys have every right to post your opinion and let me know what ya'll got to say....I really hope you guys gimme what you got on this blog.
The last thing I have to say: To me...it is subjects like this that make hip-hop a joke. Who gives a flying fuck who the "originators" of "Southern hip-hop" are? What the fuck does it even mean to "run the South"? Gimme a break man...this is hip-hop...it is music...it's an art. This isn't some whack ass shit where everyone needs to be hating on eachother, starting beef between cities, or claiming shit that they are/aren't responsible for. Whatever happened to the strong, silent type? Doesn't anybody just do their thing, know they did it well, take their respect and shut the fuck up? Rappers all gotta be beefing, cities gotta be claiming they run hip-hop, people gotta be spitting racial shit at eachother (all over this website), and I'm in awe of how much we (hip-hop fans) support this type of idiotic bullshit. Man I love hip-hop...I got love for anyone who keeps hip-hop what it is meant to be. I will never claim that Houston runs the South. I could honestly give a rats ass what anyone thinks of Houston or our hip-hop. I give a shit about me and my city and that's it. SOHH Gyant...you go ahead and keep your high-traffic blog hits or whatever at SOHH Atlanta. I am sticking with the same shit I have always done...truth. I like ATL and a couple of my favorite rappers are from Atlanta...but you completely eliminate everything that the South is about (or supposed to be about) when you stage a question like "Which city actually runs the South?" or say things like "Atlanta, its time to let EVERYBODY know who runs the south!!"....... "However,
which city is responsible for the explosion remains a hot topic in the streetz, and on blogs throughout the south." What? Blogs throughout the south? Damn the internet is whack.
Get real dawg...

Now Y’all know I love me some black women, particularly Serena Williams. I found some new pics of the Tennis Champion and decided to share them with you. You can’t hate, the bitch (and I say that lovingly) is HOTT!
Sohh Gyant’s Download of the Day!
Another Rich Boy song has leaked. I think that people were wondering if he had any other material besides “Throw Some D’s.” Anyway, this song is allegedly produced by Polow Da Don. Although it’s nothing as hard as “Throw Some D’s,” Tell me what you think of the song.

Ladies It's Not To Late, Lloyd Still Wants You To Be His Valentine!!
Friday. 2.16.07 12:03 pm
My good friend and fellow collaborator SOHH Soul Man is doing BIG things over on his blog. If you haven’t stopped by to check out the new and improved SOHH SOULFUL blog, you need to. He just got back from the Grammy’s and will have everything Grammy related up on his blog momentarily.
He’s also just posted a contest for all the female fans of Atlanta’s most popular R&B singer, Lloyd. In accordance with his upcoming album, “Street Love,” due out in March he's released a new single titled “My Valentine.” Check out more information below.
SOHH GYANT'S DOWNLOAD OF THE DAY- LLOYD'S "MY VALENTINE"
This is one of the reasons why white people sometimes get more ahead then we do when it comes to finances. In this video, Louisiana rapper Lil Boosie is showing us how spabovian he really is as he proceeds to take out his stash of cash and flip it out on the street for everyone to see.
For those who don’t know, Splaboo is what Michael Jackson calls black people. I’m not lying to, it’s in court documents. I thought the outrageous title was so ridiculous when I first heard it, but so humorous that I adopted it into my own vocabulary
Anyway, Lil Boosie needs to sit his ass down some where for real. What he needs to do is put that shit in a interesting bearing IRA, or opening a savings account with ING Direct. One of the biggest problems with us as people is our lack of experience and responsibility with cold hard cash. Somebody talk some sense into the boy.
