Big Boi cleared up a few rumors last night as well, the first being that he’s signed to Def Jam. He’s not. He says that his album company came back to him with an offer he couldn’t refuse so he’s still Jive and he ain’t going nowhere.

It’s taken some time to complete this album cause classics aren’t created overnight, but from the tracks I heard, it’s well worth the wait. I talked Big Boi into going live last night and we acted a fool on UStream for a while. I dunno if it was the Kush or my company, but Big Boi eventually decided to premiere an ENTIRE song for his fans, LIVE…on air last night! The song, “For Your Sorrows” features George Clinton and Too Short and he got quite a bit of positive feedback. So much so, that he promised to send over the full HQ version in a few days.

So check out our ustream footage from last night below to listen to the world premiere of Big Boi’s “For Your Sorrows” : (more…)

I’m trying a lil something different… check out week 1 of StraightFromTheA TV.

Shouts out to D. Jones Productions for putting this all together!

Lil Duval spared not one drop of liquor!

You would have thought he coulda poured out a lil for his missing patna, Tip but nooooo! He drank it ALL and you can best believe he was feeling it and probably still is. Of course I got it all on tape…I keeps my Mino running even with dranks in hand. Ha!

I sat down with Pleasure P a few days ago during his private listening session for his upcoming solo project entitled “The Introduction of Marcus Cooper.” Prior to us getting down to business, P decided to go ahead an answer the one burning question that was on everyone’s mind: What the hell did he think of his former Pretty Ricky bandmate Sexy Spec’s Grind Challenge video? The answer surprised quite a few of us, since those red speedo’s and fruity spins were fresh on all our brains:

I ain’t gone let y’all sit and talk bad about him…because I was once in a group with him and I’m never gonna forget that. I was on the stage with him and we had a lot of good times. I would never let nobody talk bad about him around me. While I’m here, if y’all would please just keep down your comments and stuff…. I just want him to do his thang and that’s what he’s doing and I’m doing me. That’s the best way I can handle this situation.

And if I were your homeboy, I would do the same thing. If I was in a group with you, even if we don’t talk, even if we ain’t cool no more… I would never throw you under the bus. Never.

Pleasure P’s a real stand up dude! I can really respect that.  *sigh* OK…since we got that out the way early, we were all free to enjoy the unreleased music we voluntarily came to hear.  I was actually quite impressed by several tracks.

Peep a few samples from Pleasure P’s upcoming album below as well as his explanation as to why he finally left Pretty Ricky:

Sheree´Whitfield from Real Housewives of Atlanta and her gay hubby Lawrence were spotted at Opera last night. *sigh* Just looking at Lawrence’s limp wrist makes my carpel tunnel act up…and those shoes?? Boy I know you coulda done better than that! Where’s Derek J…he could give you a few pointers on shoe selection.

I heard that there was a bit of drama in the club between Kandi and NeNe but since everyone signed a waiver, no one’s talking about it.  Dayum! I knew I shoulda went by Opera with everyone else after the Girl’s Club social, but I chose lame “A”zz Luckie’s.   My bad…

A few more photos of my 2nd favorite housewife without a husband below:

Y’all can talk bad about Sheree’ all you want, but that b*sh is Doin’ It!

[Sidebar: I heard Sheree´has finally given up possession of the mansion featured on the show for more *cough* "sensible" diggs.  Word is...she's now a proud apartment dweller. Can't wait to see that on the show!]

You may recall the post I did about being inducted into the The Girl’s Club last year, well I finally attended my first social last night, hosted by two of the founding members, D. Woods and Mika Means. The 3rd founder, Shanell, was out of town and unable to attend last night. Carlysia Levert (singer/songwriter/Gerald Levert’s daughter), NecoleBitchie (NecoleBitchie.com), Princess (Crime Mob), Brian (Concrete Loop), Bola (Grand Hustle), Ebony Love (singer/songwriter) and more all came through to show love to the MOVEMENT at 404 Lounge last night. The only requirement was that NO HATERS were allowed…

Check out a few photos below:

Necole tried to front on Twitter…but I got her back with this pic!

Atlantic Records hosted the finale event for CoreDJ weekend in Atlanta Sunday night at T.I.’s Club Crucial. Surprisingly enough, Bankhead…oops I mean Donald Lee Hollowell was THE PLACE to be for the entertainment crowd as T.I., Bobby Ray (aka B.o.B.) Shawty Lo, Maino, AlfaMega, Young Steff, Trey Songz and more converged on the stage to perform.

B.o.B. performed with a live band that featured hot drummer Alien

DJ Drama on the 1s & 2s… (I have no idea what that means. I just like sayin it!)

Nas performed dayum near his entire catalog at Thursday night’s BMI Unsigned Artists Showcase. In the clips that I’ve posted below, he’s performing “Black President” “I Want to Talk To” and “My President is Black” as well as “Street Dreams” & “If I Ruled the World”.  His performance was amazing but my videos are lacking. Blame that loud “A”zz speaker I was standing next to…
