As you know, Outkast is prepping for a huge return in 2014, which marks the 20th anniversary of their first album, ‘Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik‘ (released April 26, 1994).

RUMOR CONTROL: T.I. and Tiny Are NOT Breaking Up… (Yet)

Jan, 29 2014 | Written by ATLien

Rumors of their demise have been greatly exaggerated (at least that’s what they want you to think)!

A few days ago a huge rumor broke out that Clifford ‘T.I.’ Harris and his wife Tameka ‘Tiny’ Cottle-Harris were calling it quits.

It all started with a cryptic message Tip posted as the couple were in L.A. enjoying Grammy week, where he implied that his life was about to change.

Tip mentioned things were about to change but he’s since deleted the post. He’s also publicly acknowledged the ‘rumor’.

Details below… Continue Reading…

President Obama Delivers 5th State of The Union Address… Watch Full Speech [VIDEO + TRANSCRIPT]

Jan, 29 2014 | Written by ATLien

President Barack Obama delivered his annual State of The Union Address last night (January 28, 2014).

During his speech, Obama identified areas where he felt he and Congress could work in unison while also making note of issues that distinguished the Democrats from the Republicans.

[FLASHBACK: Twitter Fail! Khia Sends Graphic Message to President Barack Obama During 2012 SOTU Address…]

In illustrating a willingness to act on his own, Obama also announced that he will sign an executive order increasing the minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 for new federal contracts and encouraged the private sector to do the same.

We need to raise to minimum wage to ensure that people working full time don't live in poverty. Give America a raise!! #SOTU

— Michelle Brown  (@ATLien) January 29, 2014

City of Atlanta Paralyzed by ‘Snow Jam 2014’ // Mayor Kasim Reed Responds… #ATLSnow [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

Jan, 29 2014 | Written by ATLien

A winter storm has paralyzed metro Atlanta and other parts of Georgia and prompted Gov. Nathan Deal to declare a state of emergency for all 159 counties in Georgia Tuesday afternoon (January 28, 2014).

It was all fun and games until people found out they couldn’t get home!

As everyone left work around the same time, it only took a few hours for traffic in Atlanta to come to a complete halt, stranding hundreds on icy roads and interstates.

Any hope of a winter wonderland was crushed by the miserable reality that it was dangerous ‘black ice’ coating roads and preventing cars from moving at all. By late Tuesday evening, hundreds of vehicles had been abandoned as many were still stuck on interstates and side streets throughout the metro area.
