  • One on One With Wiz Khalifa + New Music: “Roll Up” ~ [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Feb, 23 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Wiz Khalifa hit up StraightFromTheA yesterday as one of his many stops to promote his upcoming album “Rolling Papers.”

    Not only does the “Black & Yellow” MC have the hottest song on repeat from coast to coast, but he has officially hit the blogs running over the past few months. Khalifa’s hot single has been dubbed the #1 song in the country, but only after he gained his mandatory hip-hop mugshot after getting busted with a bus load of weed back in November.

    All press is good press right? And to add fuel to his already burning flame, Wiz has been linked to hip-hop’s most notorious arm piece, Amber Rose.?

    Photos of the couple have been making the blog rounds all week courtesy of a recent feature in Fader Magazine and a bitter tweet from Amber’s ex… Kanye West.

    A number #1 song, several hot mixtapes, a movie on deck, a hot broad and a highly anticipated major label debut should give anyone the “big head” but Wiz Khalifa is surprisingly level headed and calm in the midst of all his rising fame.

    Check out my one on one with the rising star below, as we chat about music, love & blogs: Continue Reading…

    Justin Bieber’s New Haircut Cost Him 80,000 Twitter Followers… [PHOTOS]

    Feb, 22 2011 | Written by ATLien

    If you listen carefully, you might the words “Oh Em Geeee! Justin Bieber got a haircut! F*ck my life!” from the collective voices of all the pre-teen girls (and boys) who are obsessed with Justin Bieber’s hair.

    Word on the curb is that when Biebs tweeted the news of his new ?doo, 80,000 little girls collectively slammed their computers, changed their Bieber nail color, and, after calming down and thinking rationally, decided the best thing to do was to just un-follow him on Twitter.

    The number is still unconfirmed, but I wouldn?t be surprised if it was more like a milli.? Hair and cool clothes are the things most teens base their musical tastes on. Sorry, it is what it is.

    In related news, Justin is getting his own Madame Tussauds’ wax figure in New York, London and Amsterdam.

    ?To be immortalized in wax alongside some of my idols — Michael Jackson, Prince, Beyonce and my mentor, Usher — is incredibly exciting and very cool.” ~? Justin Bieber

    By the way… the wax figure will feature Justin’s old haircut.

    In the meantime, we can reminiscence over Justin’s longer locks in pics of he and Rihanna from the 2011 NBA All-Star game below: Continue Reading…

    Reality Show Alert! “Tha Life” aka The Real GAYS of Atlanta… [VIDEO]

    Feb, 22 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Meet the men of “Tha Life,” an Atlanta reality show that focuses on the lives of 6 gay men. [Sidebar: I had to crop out two to make that picture fit.] I got this in my email the other day and I don’t know how y’all kept this from me all this time!

    As an avid fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and an Atlanta resident, I can fully appreciate this new concept of following the lives of these fabulous men. I was originally hoping Dwight Eubanks, Lawrence Washington Miss Lawrence & Derek J would finally come together with their own spin-off of RHOA, but this one goes a step further.

    There’s six gay “housewives”: Al (the “Superstar”), Donte (the “Moneymaker”), Terrence (the “Mayor of Atlanta”), Will (“Mr. Socialite”), J. Will (“Mr. Unpredictable”), and Dr. George Smith (the “New Face” of Atlanta).

    I swear these old stunt queens floss harder than any RHOA cast mate ever could, driving Benz’s & Bentley’s around town while sipping on Mojitos and Cosmos all night long at the club.

    I don’t know whether to laugh or cry but I learned a whole lot from watching this.

    Get you some below: Continue Reading…

    RHOA’s Phaedra Parks Talks Bobby, Whitney & Apollo On The Wendy Williams Show [VIDEO]

    Feb, 22 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Everyone’s favorite Southern Belle Attorney, Phaedra Parks, hit up The Wendy Williams show yesterday where she kept it classy and discrete… like only a true Southern Belle does.

    Wendy tried to faze Phaedra, but she refused to select one of her fellow housemate to be kicked off the show, stating:

    ?We need everyone to make it spicy,? said Phaedra, who also refused to share whether she?s Team Kim or Team NeNe.

    ?I?m Team Phaedra.?

    Phaedra, who revealed her interest in buying a funeral home during the Season 3 reunion show (Watch: Part 1, Part 2), clarified that she will never give up practicing law and spoke about when Whitney Houston came to her for legal assistance for Bobby Brown, after he and Whitney’s “domestic altercation” in Atlanta several years ago.

    RHOA’s classiest cast mate hilariously told Wendy that she “put down the collard greens” in order to give Whitney her full attention during the call.

    She also spoke about how she met her cutie patootie hubby, Apollo Nida, while she was driving on interstate 285, but if you’d previously watched the couple’s appearance on Bravo’s aftershow you already knew that.

    [WATCH: Phaedra & Apollo Explain it All… ~ VIDEO]

    Wendy, who has admitted to not caring much for Phaedra during this season, seems to have warmed up to my favorite attorney quite a bit.? She even presented Phaedra with a perfect “Southern” gift: a bright orange hat by Luke Song, who also designed Aretha Franklin?s inauguration headpiece.

    In case you missed it, check out Phaedra on The Wendy Show below: Continue Reading…

    For Discussion: Should Black Parents Be Offended By This Black History Month Email?

    Feb, 22 2011 | Written by ATLien

    As you know, the shortest month in the year was designated as Black history month. Personally, I don’t necessarily buy into BMH because I feel that it’s our responsibility to teach our children our cultural heritage DAILY and not during one particular month.

    But who I am I… I have no kids!

    Anywhooo, I received the following email from one of my loyal readers who wants your input about an email she received from her child’s school regarding Black History Month:

    Hi ATLien

    I have a “RANT” I need to put out there in keeping with the spirit of “Black History Month”.? Here goes…My daughter who will be 16 next week attends a private “CATHOLIC” school. Of course she represents the 1% of “us” there. Regardless of that, the school is VERY prestigious and affluent and this is her first year there.

    I receive email parent bulletins at the beginning of the week. Well in reading it, they had THIS (see email below) in there. The WHOLE thing is so funny that I’ve been laughing for about an hour behind it.

    My question is, should I be offended? It has so many inconsistency’s… i.e. the graffitti (they can keep that for Taco day – IJS), hair braiding, hip-hop dance workshop DURING “club bell”…. Its just too much!

    I was hoping you could share with our fellow readers and get their take on it.

    *STILL laughing*

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
