Twitter Fail: Gucci Mane Sets Rumor Mill On FIRE! Was He Hacked? (Probably Not)

Sep, 10 2013 | Written by ATLien

?

Black twitter was on FIRE last night when our homegrown crazy that is Gucci Mane went on a twitter rant of epic proportions. From Tiny to Nicki Minaj, to even Monica, no secret seeemd safe as the rumored bi-polar went on and on about damn near EVERYTHING.

Remember when Gucci offered up Waka Flocka for a milli? Well that was nothing!

[READ: NEWSFLASH! Gucci Mane Offers to Sell Waka Flocka For A Milli, Waka Responds?]

Did he really pay Cash Money Records/New Money top star Nicki Minaj $60 for sex back when true ATLiens remember has just another girl in the game in the ATL trying to make it? And not even industry peers were safe. Well respected Ebony Son manager Chaka was even brought into the fray, chile.? And we can’t forget Jeezy, he got some Gucci sauce thrown his way.

Some of the things said were so disrespectful I can’t even repeat. But I sure can post ’em! so prepare yourself for the ridiculous, the aha moments [my apologies to Oprah], and the confirmations you’ve suspected anyway.

In case you missed it, read all of Gucci’s twitter rant below… Continue Reading…

For Discussion: Does Today’s Hip-Hop Culture Compel Youths To ‘Pour It Up’?

Sep, 9 2013 | Written by ATLien

As we all settle back into our random routines and reflect on yet another Labor Day holiday gone past, it seems there’s been some funny business going on that caught my attention.

It’s no big secret that companies tap artists to inject product placement ideas into some music… ?But I’m sure nobody knew how far the advertisement goes –particularly in hip-hop.

[RANDOM: WTF?!? Dr. Diagnoses Woman with ‘Ghetto Booty’ (PHOTOS)]

Today’s “hit” songs are nothing more than highly evolved advertisements that may be brainwashing you to drink, smoke or partake in activity’s unbecoming of your spirit, and your powerless to stop it.

Research has revealed a very disturbing new trend in the music business.

Get your mind right because we’re going in… Continue Reading…

Sep, 9 2013 | Written by ATLien

Summer is almost over but we can still take advantage of the great weather for at least a few more weeks.

That being said, AT&T has partnered with me to offer a few readers a nice end of Summer gift.

With the end of summer rapidly approaching, it seems like the right time to look back at what songs dominated not only music charts, but our playlists.

From Robin Thicke?s ?Blurred Lines? to Miley Cyrus? ?We Can?t Stop? (admit it… you love it!) and beyond, it?s pretty clear that our smartphones and iPods got a huge workout this summer.

So in celebration of all things music, I’ve been asked?to entice readers to share their ultimate ?end of summer playlist? for a chance to win two great prizes.

I have in my possession an?HTC One from AT&T?along with a?Beatbox^TMPortable by Beats?to give away to two lucky winners.

[Sidebar: After all, smartphones and portable speakers are a great way to take your favorite songs with you wherever you go ? from the backyard to the beach and beyond. Right?]

But I digress… 😆
