Video ganked from MauriceGarland’s spot.

I spotted this video a while ago but totally forgot to post it but I’m sure you Dungeon Family fans will appreciate this video footage captured during their Vibe cover shoot in Piedmont Park last month.   I’m prone to believe the consensus that a Dungeon Family reunion is the only thing that could save this town.

The Dungeon Family. The first shall be last and the last shall be first. Anybody who has been here since the mid-90s can tell you that even moreso than Dallas and Jermaine and only second to LaFace, the DF made Atlanta cool, so only they can reinstitute the groove and save the city. If that fails, expect me to speak to you from New York or Los Angeles in 2010. ~ via TheUnderwriter’s “Why Atlanta is Dying Off”

There’s way too much infiltration going on and we need to bring it back full circle. Back to OUR sound….go straight NATIVE on they “A”zz. *sigh* In the meantime, we’ll all just burn out our “A”pods listening to classics like Outkast’s Southernplaylisticadillacmuzik, Goodie Mob’s Soul Food and Witchdoctor’s A S.W.A.T. Spiritual Healing.

Once a staple at Greenbriar Flea Market, Eddie’s Gold Teeth catered to any ATLien who had an appetite for a grill. So in honor of the “Flashback,” I thought I’d devote a post to Mr. Eddie Plein. The “godfather of grills,” also known as the owner of Eddie’s Gold Teeth. I’ve never met Eddie personally, but I HAVE met several recipients of his custom works. By the way, you have too…there’s Big Boi, Andre 3000, Big Gipp, Lil Jon, Cee-Lo….the list goes on and on. Not to mention the non-rapping regular joes who just wanted to have a lil GOLD in their mouf!

The fad has since gave way to porcelain veneers but the fond memories of the bling shall remain in our hearts forever.

Yep…Eddie Plein was/is responsible for all of THAT and contrary to popular belief, wearing grills started in South America and not Southwest Atlanta! Ha!  Peep what Eddie had to say about how the fad started, why his craziest request was from Andre 3000 and what he’s up to now: (more…)

Atlanta newstation WSB-TV obtained video footage of Andre 3000’s speeding arrest last month. The video shows Dre’s 1997 Porsche Carrera pulling over on the highway and his subsequent arrest by a Henry County officer. He was stopped for driving 109mph (44 miles over the speed limit) down interstate 75 and was arrested due to his excessive speed. Dre´explained to the officer that he was in a hurry because he had to get to a friend’s birthday party. He has since paid a $1200 fine and moved on with his life. I just hope he’s speeding right now into the studio with Big Boi for that new Outkast project…

Andre´3000 Benjamin was arrested in Henry County after he was caught speeding down interstate 75 in his 1997 Porsche Carrera. Dre´explained to the officer that he was in a hurry because he had to get to a friend’s birthday party.

WSB-TV News Coverage:

Dre’ is accused of going 109mph (44 miles over the speed limit) and was arrested because he was seen as a danger to others on the road. He has since bonded out but in light of his speeding arrest, Dre will now be the poster child for Georgia’s “Super Speeder” law whether he wants to or not. This should be interesting. Stay tuned…

Andre 3000 was spotted in Toronto, Canada yesterday premiering the Spring 2009 line of his Benjamin Bixby clothing line, fresh off the high of his successful opening for Class of 3000 LIVE.  I’m thinking Dre may have caught on and removed the knickers from his line…I don’t see any on the manequins.
