I see the comments are picking up and for that very reason, today, I’m going to pass on Atlanta’s Own Talent Showcase to address some of your comments. This picture was emailed to me earlier today. Can we all please get a grip people! They got arrested for a white-collar crime. There will be a trial, which I’m sure will take at least a year. Some of y'all acting like they was sentenced to death and shit. It’s corny as hell but: if you cant do the time, then don’t do the muthafuckin crime.
My homie Freezefiyah emailed me this information on just how serious the RIAA is about all the bootlegging. The have had enough.
If you thought DJ Drama and the Aphillates Music Group were the only ones to feel the effect of the powers that be's desperate attempt to put to bed the commercial viability of urban music entertainment, well guess again. Your favorite website, Urban Connects recently received a “cease and desist” notice (same day as the Aphillates raid mind you) from the legal department of VNU, parent company of Nielsen BroadCast Data Systems and Nielsen SoundScan. The issue at hand is the BDS and SoundScan numbers that are posted on this site. Because of this action we will, starting today, omit the BDS/SoundScan numbers from being posted in “chart format”…but best believe we will continue to be your source for analysis of this urban music landscape (on a business level) from the perspective of people that are of the culture.
When you see a billion dollar media entity threatening to enforce statutory damages (up to $150,000 per infringement) on a site that is completely non-revenue in nature it just goes to show how powerful a role INFLUENCE can play in the world we live in. Now is the time to strap the boots up and ride out! You can’t stop progression.
First, let me say that I really appreciate the time and energy (good or bad) y’all share with Sohh Atlanta. I’m doing my best to make this shit as interesting as possible. So, keep doing ya thing and I will for damn sure keep doing mine.
My first victim is PG. PG wrote:
Gyant, you are a fuckin idiot!!! I thought you would have learned your lesson last time when you started bashing Jeezy and the readers posted their comments about you and your corny ass blog. Now, you have the audacity to try and clown Drama and Cannon?!! I'm done!!! Nigga, I don't know where you're from but how the hell you ended up writing the ATL blog is beyond me. Drama, Cannon, and Sense are just as a part of the southern/ATL movement in music as Outkast, TI, or any other artist here in the city. For you to make light of Fed case is just ignorant.
FYI, R Kelly is in town to shoot the video for Jeezy's "Go Getta." If you was a real journalist, you'd be up on your ATL shit.
I'll never read your blog again!!! I suggest everyone else follow suit. At least until SOHH gets someone better.
Yo PG, why you getting so mad dawg? Let me hip you onto something homie. It’s my job to report on a story from how I see it. If you want the hard “journalist” stories that’s what the main SOHH.com page is set up for. If you want my take on shit, you come to the blog.
Whether you agree with my opinion on DJ Drama or DJ Cannon is really none of my fucking business. What I will say is that I don’t work for Grand Hustle, Tyree, or Cannon. I don’t wish no ill will on none of them. I hope they come out on top and have me eating my words. But, until then I’m gonna speak my mind. Real talk, I emailed Drama’s publicist giving them a chance to set the record straight about this entire incident. I have yet to hear anything. So trust me I don’t just talk out of my ass!!!
As far as the R. Kelly thing is concerned, you didn’t put me onto nothing I didn’t already know. If you check out Monday’s post http://blogs.sohh.com/atlanta/2007/01/happy_birthday.html then you’ll see that you’re the late one homie. So at the end of the day one could say that you’re the “fuckin idiot” but I’m not one to play the name calling game so I’ll just say — Peace G! Oh and by the way, you know you’ll be back.

Thank shawtie, I do it for the love of writing. There are more than white chicks walking up and down Peachtree St. what you talking about? I like Atlanta radio actually. I have lived in Atlanta for two years and I like the love y’all show your stations. So that’s why I listen to the radio when I’m driving.

How the fuck u gon be reppin atlanta and make fun of the biggest DJ in Atlanta who's been providing the streets with hot music for years, the only LOSER is you. I thought you were going to do a piece on what happened, what insiders are saying happened, not a one sided diss on DJ Drama and Don Cannon. I mean, do you listen to Atlanta rap??? I know you said it was in a funny fashion, but the biggest dj in atlanta getting busted and you doing a satire/mocking of the situation is bullshit. Can we PLEASE get someone who actually cares about ATLANTA hip hop and not dwell on shitty stories like a club concert last week?
First off I aint going nowhere! “Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top, and I’ma shine homie until my heart stops”
The one thing about Atlanta I don’t get is the fact that we love our Atlanta artists so much that we blind ourselves to the truth. As unfortunate a situation as the arrest was for Drama and Cannon, it still happened. If you want biased news I suggest you go elsewhere. If you want the truth mixed in with some humor, then you come here! I love Atlanta rappers, and Atlanta hip-hop in general but nobody, and I repeat; NOBODY is exempt from Gyant’s perspective. And just how I dish it, is exactly how I can take it.
I’m just happy that y’all have stuck with your boy and made Sohh Atlanta the hot spot that it is. Everybody is reading this shit. And in this New Year it’s only going to get better.
Y’all have a great weekend and we’ll get up on Monday!
But, before I go. Make sure you come back at 1pm to see what I heard about Monica. Sohh Atlanta is so popular that I’m doing two blogs a day now.
He had me dying laughing because what that man did was just trifling. I hope he didn't actually throw up off this shit, but I can understand if he did. People will do just about anything in front of a camera. I wonder if that man still does that routine.
