    Columns: Get On Ya Job!!!

    When Keeping It Real HURTS!

    Get On Ya Job is a column that will take place each month. This will be all about rants and raves about what angers the Staff regarding southern hip-hop. This is just an opinion, so if you take offense to it then send a complaint to management.

    The first annual Ozone Awards came and went with a big bang, but not in the way that you may believe.

    The TJsDJs conference element of the weekend was done exceptionally well, even though most of the panels were delayed.

    List of the panels for the weekend.

    Producers Panel
    Technology Panel
    DJ Panel
    A&R Panel
    Women In The Industry Panel
    Media Panel
    Artist Panel

    You could say that the panels were well worth the wait. They were all very informative. The artist panel was the highlight of the conference. David Banner, Killer Mike, Lil’ Boosie, Slim Thug, Trae, Gangsta Boo, T-Pain, and Webbie were there for it. Webbie showed up late, but is a very comical guy. Killer Mike is a great public speaker as well as David Banner. Trae even stated that he was not one for words, however gave a lot of advice and tips. This panel took up two conference rooms full, due to an overwhelming crowd.

    The Media Panel was out of the ordinary to say the least. The host was very unprofessional. I do not know his name, but he is skinny, dressed like JJ Evans, and had a loud mouth. He spent most of the time bashing southern music and talking off topic nonsense. The panelists had to get on him because he was not interacting with the group whom were there to soak up knowledge. His justification was that he wanted to have good questions asked. You could say that he called the audience idiots.

    The DJ Panelists were Clinton Sparks, Wally Sparks, OG Ron C, Chuck T, Brandi Garcia, DJ Jelly, and Mike Watts. This had to be the funniest panel of them all. DJ KLC got into it with the panelists over what is considered hip-hop. That stemmed from talk about D4L. DJ Green Lantern spoke also about being a "fake DJ" which caused quite a stir with a "fake DJ” that was on the panel. This continued for a while as Clinton Sparks and DJ Jelly added their opinion’s about what a real DJ is. He also stated that he was tired of hearing “Screwed” hooks, so he and OG Ron C mildly got into it. This was one of the more argumentative moments of the weekend to say the least. However, there would be much more strain surrounding visitors.

    Thousands of people came to Orlando to enjoy all of the festivities, which they ought to if $250 was spent on a weekend pass. Well, the passes were pointless. Club Firestone who hosted the Tastemaker Showcase Saturday night (featuring Lil Wayne) and the Atlantic Records (featuring Grand Hustle, Plies, and B.G.) party Sunday night, would not allow any person into the club with passes because "allegedly" there were bootlegged passes. Well, that is what I was told when I tried to enter. Notified by other angry visitors the club stopped allowing passes as entry into the club at 9:30 that evening. The cut off time was believed to be at 12:00 AM. The same can be said for last Friday night at Club Cairo for the Interscope party. I was in line for about 45 minutes before 12AM and did not get in until about 20 minutes until after 12AM. This is due to the people at the door being very unprofessional. Cairo would not even let Trae in, but he made that phone call and walked right on in. I told the lady that I was L.B. from WordofSouth.com and that I need to be in this club and she looked at me and said “$20.” We failed to enter the club, but it is ok. My pass was free, but imagine the irritation that the people who paid for this felt? Firestone also would not allow groups who sponsored the TJsDJs and Ozone Awards in the club.

    The media as a whole were mistreated as well as completely misinformed. Not to mention that everyone in the world is media these days. I did not know that renting a camera from Rent-A-Center and saying that you have a TV show considered you to now be the media. You would be surprised at how many Orlando hip-hop TV shows were created over the past few months. We were told that the Media had to sit in a room and was not allowed to see the show. For what reason do we want to sit in a room with 100 other media people to try to interview an artist for 2-3 minutes? That would have been a nice feature for the week, a two question exclusive interview with Jody Breeze. I asked the staff where Julia (Owner of Ozone Magazine) was located because she was the person that told me I would have all access to the weekend. No one knew where Julia was. I E-Mailed her on her blackberry, but received no response. OK fine, maybe she might just be a tad bit busy. I am told to go to the ticket booth by another staff member. I go there to try to find some sort of information and received none whatsoever. I was being told to go and call someone. Who am I going to call? I was then told to go to the back to talk to them at the door. The female at the door was dreadfully vulgar to everybody, but that was already a known fact since the entire weekend staff from TJDJS, Security, and Ozone Magazine were all very rude. Regardless if you are stressed out, you do not need to disrespect people because you all fucked up. To wrap up this part of the weekend, you can say the personnel did not know what they were doing.

    I wrote the Florida and Louisiana Patiently Waiting articles in the awards issue and I was patiently waiting outside trying to get in. I look at this from the bright side though. I did see DJ Drama get loud, but not like, he does on his mixtapes. The reason why he got loud is that the same impolite woman at the door that I mentioned earlier would not let The Aphilliates in the building at all. He had to come back and let them know that he was leaving unless his label are allowed in. That is crew love indeed. I tried to play off as if I was one of the Aphilliates, but I think the WordofSouth.com shirt gave it away. Now only if I could have that type of power. I also saw David Banner show up late and Trick Daddy come about 50 deep. Maybe I could have blended in with the dreaded out, gold teethed Miami boys. Oh, I forgot to mention that I stood in the same parking lot as Ludacris. I wonder if he performed. If anyone was "inside" the awards then please feel free to let me know. If any rappers are looking to add to their entourage then please let me know. That seemed to be the only way to get into the awards without a ticket. WordofSouth.com was parking lot pimpin’ at the Ozone Awards.

    In conclusion to this. This weekend was a disaster for WordofSouth.com as well as thousands of others. The awards as well as our cops made Orlando look very bad. Everything ran late, was disorganized, staff were rude, and the whole vibe was just tensed. The best thing about the weekend was the networking, panels, it was in my city, and money was not needed to be spent. WordofSouth.com's new motto is "We get less respect then snitches." Yes, we are upset and we have a right to be upset. We as a website feel disrespected by Ozone Magazine and TJsDJs. I know that others for a fact feel the same way, but hell this is “The Peoples Website” and we speak for the people. Worst thing of all, I did not get to see Treal and Wes Fif present awards.
