What’s good Family?

It’s that time again. I got to address some ignorant ass mufuckas who seem to spend most of there day hating on what Sohh Atlanta is doing. Niccas like Zone 4, and Decman are my perder uno, and perder dos (its Spanish look it up) who claim to hate everything about Sohh Atlanta, which is essentially me, yet they stop by every day to drop off a daily dose of hate, and I personally LUV IT!!

Yesterday Decman had this to say:

aight bruh... how can i say this.. see, yo ideas is aight.. we aint got no problem wit yo ideas and such.. we got a problem wit you.. you see its nothin personal its jus da fact that you are 1. from outta town (which really aint a problem if you a real nigga) but, 2. you are a lame ass relocated college boy from outta town who dont uderstand southern culture, atlanta culture, or atlanta period both blogs today were safe blogs but bruh on some real shit you fucked up wit me when you came out yo mouth wit all this country mentality bullshit you was talkin earlier... which brings us to now only support you get is from outta towners... how long do you think this can go on.. like i said its nothin personal (you might actually be a cool dude.. i doubt it but anythings possible) but Atlanta is one place that you gotta adapt or... well keep on tryna do you and youll see i hope you can take this for what it is.. no hate.. jus an ATL analysis of the situation
Firstly Decman, please learn that the only way to effectively get your point across is to use properly structured sentences. Though I am aware that I am not the greatest writer on the planet, I know that when I address somebody or something and I misspell a word or use a word improperly that my overall message doesn’t matter.

Secondly, what does me not being born in Atlanta have to do with me reporting on Atlanta or not understanding the culture? Atlanta doesn’t have a culture! The websters dictionary defines culture as: a particular form or stage of civilization, as that of a certain nation or period: does that define Atlanta, No! Another definition for the word “culture” is the behaviors and beliefs characteristic of a particular social, ethnic, or age group. Does that define Atlanta, No! For as long as I have been in Atlanta I've never witnessed Atlanta culture. I see a black culture, a hip-hop culture, hell I’ll even give you a Southern Hip-Hop culture, but there is no Atlanta culture here. And FYI, what you and your homie’s deem as “Atlanta Culture” doesn’t speak for the entire population of this booming metropolitan.

You think talking about the jewel of the south everyday is easy? Because if you do then you haven’t a clue as to how hard it is to constantly provide my audience with Atlanta news/gossip/club events etc. Just because I don’t report on your news, doesn’t mean that I don’t do a DAMN good job. Who came up with “Atlanta’s Own”…Me! Who came up with “Poppin or Floppin Video of the Week”..that would be me again. And who is taking their time to address your bullshit ass comments when in actuality you’re contributing to the success of Sohh Atlanta more then you know, that’s me again. I have nothing to prove, I do what I do and do it the best I can. And I know for a fact that I’m doing it better then the person before me.

So why don’t you get on board and stop hating. This will be my last time I address anything you have to say. I’ve taken the time to address your issues, hate it or luv it, I’m not going anywhere!!!

Zone 4 had this to say:



your such a lame, I'll say it again, your blaring lamness is hard to read sometimes. you have no clue WTF is going on in this city


Zone, YOU don’t know what’s going in this city. SOHH.com and I have more contacts then you’ll ever have. Just because I don’t talk about what YOU want me to talk doesn’t mean that I don’t know anything about this city. “You are the weakest link..Goodbye”!!

On a positive note, military man Crapshoot made a good point that should be echoed.



I read the comments on here and I wonder if we, meaning "hiphop" will ever be able to come together on anything...this dude has posted links to 4 unsigned acts and all I've heard is disdain for this cat. Ain't nobody else doing that shit so why the hatred? I'm from South Cak and we ain't had nobody blow from there yet because we get overshadowed by ATL so we need this type of shit right here. Ya'll cats soundin' real self-destructive right now. In the words of Nas "WE DON'T NIGGAZ TO EVER WIN..." Forget the politics, let's just get money, and win.

Man... I been amp'd about Diddy and Keyshia Cole's duet "Last Night" ever since we got a sneak peek of Key Key laying down the vocals in the booth on her BET reality show.



I am mad that Diddy and the label didn't see enough heat with this record to make it the first or second single at least. I believe it could have made the difference with Diddy being certified Gold and being certified Platinum, which his album has yet to achieve.

Nevertheless... Diddy is Diddy and Keyshia... well, she is Keyshia and I LOVE IT!
Yesterday, Natasha over at YBF ran a first look at Diddy's little girls and long-time girlfriend Kim Porter from the Canada's Hello! magazine.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new Paris & Nicki, Paris & Nicole, Paris & Britney.... well you get it. These girls will be amongst the first generation of children of black entertainment moguls.




Also in the clique is Damon Dash's son, Diddy's other kids, Jamie Fox's daughter and them. Look out red carpet 2021!

I guess with this single and this new birth.... third time is the charm. SOHH, uh... yea. Vote for this video on your countdown of choice.

But while you were wondering if the 132,000 people who bought Pretty Ricky's new cd, Late Night Special, sending them to the top of the Billboard charts, want a refund, we were wondering where Beyonce was the night of the SAG Awards?

Here is our list:
SOHH SOULFUL TOP 5 SONGS OF THE MOMENT!

5. Brandy - "Best Friend"
While homegirl finds some direction after all the drama around her car accident, she'll need her lil brother now more than ever.

4. Trey WRONGZ! - "Wonder Woman"
Listen to it here. It's from the forthcoming... Trey Day. (and y'all get on my case for always referencing Bey.)


3. Musiq - "Buddy" Remix featuring Ja Rule and Fat Joe
Check it, check it, check it out!

2. Janet Jackson - "Take Care"
Simply because since we haven't heard much from her lately... it's like farewell.

1. R. Kelly - "Don't Let Go"
This track is from the Daddy's Little Girl soundtrack.

This might be the lamest story have I covered since my inception to Sohh Atlanta, but its being reported that Bow Wow is still mending from his breakup with Ciara.

Now before you all start in on me let me just explain my case. From day one, when news broke out about Ciara and Bow Wow "dating", I instantly broke out in laughter. Why anyone believed that the height challenged rap/pop act and the Amazonian crunk &B princess were actually a couple was beyond me. When ever I would see them together, all I saw was a walking publicity stunt. Missy Elliot and Ciara had more chemistry...(oops did I say that out loud)!

At first when Bow Wow dropped his latest album, it was common knowledge that any and all Ciara—relationship questions were completely off limits to us journalists. However, now in an effort to drum up significance over his fleeting new album The Price of Lame, Shad—AKA—Bow Wow has now decided to open up a little bit more about his now defunct relationship with Ciara and how their “break-up” has truly affected him. He recently told MTV News.


"It (his new song—“Outta My System”) deals with a situation I was in, for sure," he said. "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to listen to that song and know what I'm talking about or who I'm talking to. That's why I did it. That once again deals with the price of fame."

Could his sudden “openess” about CiCi be because his latest lyrical project is more floppin, and less poppin (do see how I worked that in?) The Price of Lame is currently # 54 after only 6 weeks on the charts. I just love how artists try and whore out their personal lives for CD sales. At this point I think its safe to say that we’ve all moved on haven’t we? Not that many of us really cared to begin with. It’s just buffoonery at its best.

Do you want to hear the song? Good, because it’s Sohh Gyant’s Download of the Day!
"Outta My System"

MEANWHILE CIARA IS SAID TO BE RIDING DIRTY WITH 50 CENT!
http://blogs.sohh.com/soul/archives/2007/02/good_look_or_ho_2.html

This is an intresting video I found on youtube.com. I’m not sure what to think about it. While I think its pretty ingenious, it also looks like somebody has way to much time on their hands.

The streets is talking about Young Jeezy and Keisha Cole. Word is Y.J. popped the question to Keisha Cole recently and she happily accepted. Of course the "couple", who claim they arent even involved, have no comment on the rumors.

Those two kill me more then any other celebrity copule out there today. They aint no Bobby and Whitney! I mean at the end of the day who the hell cares what they're doing?!? We've all got our eyes fixed on T.I. and Tiny don't we?



Before I forget, make sure you check out Big Cat recording artist Young Snead and Yae High tomorrow, February 6th at the Griffin vs. Mt Zion football game.

Talk y'all tommorrow,

Who knew Ciara was cozy coze with 50cent?

Sure the two worked on "Can't Leave Em Alone" on her sophomore cd The Evolution, but Ciara admitted 50 basically emailed his verse to them.

According to the New York Daily News, CiCi has been riding dirty in the backseat of 50's car. WTF?

The two were together Thursday night, looking like a couple trying not to look like a couple.

The rapper was spotted in his car in LeFrak City with "Ciara in the backseat, attempting not to be seen," said a source.

Another source describe the pair to us as "a new underground couple."

Is that like Ashanti and Ja Rule or Lily and Herman Munster?

Now for those of y'all not familiar, LeFrak City, according to it's own website, is a gargantuan complex of 18-story buildings with 5000 apartments. Basically the projects.

Now, CiCi coulda been there to drop a hook in 50's secret studio in the hood for his forthcoming cd, or she coulda been joining Olivia as the G-Unit tramp-o-line or it could all be a lie.

Brandy isn't the only R&B chic with major legal woes. As we mentioned before, Toni Braxton sued her former manager, Barry Hankerson, for $10 million due to breach of contract.



But is there more to the story....

On Wednesday we found out that Toni and Hankerson are now in a public battle. The jist of the story is this. Toni filed her lawsuit. The courts and her attorney told her to re-file in state court and make sure she had proof. Hankerson took her re-filing as her dropping the lawsuit and issued a public statement saying Toni dropped it.

Toni, then issues a statement saying oh hell no, I didn't drop the case I refiled. Then Hankerson issued yet another statement saying basically that Toni is full of shit. Read more here.

One key detail in Hankerson's claim is that Toni is pulling a fast one. Here is an excerpt from the Hankerson's/Blackground Records statement that was issued.

"Neither Blackground Records nor Barry Hankerson have been served with the new lawsuit; nevertheless, we are quite confident that this new lawsuit will ultimately be deemed devoid of merit. Both Blackground Records LLC and Barry Hankerson have fulfilled all of their obligations to Ms. Braxton and find it disappointing that she has chosen litigation instead of working with Blackground Records to make a hit album that could have revived her recording career," says the statement.

Hankerson claims that Braxton's original lawsuit comes just two days after he dropped her from Blackground when she collected an advance for an album that she later refused to deliver.

Aiight... let's get real here. Sure Hankerson maybe shady, but Toni's last cd had like two good songs on it. And I can easily see Toni pulling a diva move and promising an album so that she could get the advance and then say... fuck that shit.

As it stands now the case will go to trial in New York State Court and until then you can catch Toni at the Flamingo in Vegas.

Check this rare video from Toni for "Let It Flow." Apparently it was never released because the label thought it was too risque.
