Video ~ “Roses” ~ Outkast on Letterman
As I picked up my box of roses off the porch this afternoon, this song immediately came to mind.? Then I found this classic performance video of Outkast on David Letterman and this post was born.? It’s classic I tell ya!
The whole dayum family was onstage! I see you baby brotha….Rod… Bentley…. Twannnn!
I’ve got my eye on you too Cupid Valentino *cough* I mean….Dre’.

Andre’ “3000” Benjamin is more than your average rapper….he’s an actor dammit! When he’s not speeding his Porsche down I75 at the speed of light, Dre’ can be caught somewhere reciting lines and practicing his acting chops.
His role as one of the FOUR BROTHERS was dayum near Oscar worthy. So much so, that they wanna bring him back for the sequel. Now, I’d be lying if I said I even remember the 2005 film, but Dre’s still a brother…. despite what you may have heard. Continue Reading…
Check out this previously unreleased shot from last summer’s Dungeon Family Reunion at Piedmont Park. Everyone was present and accounted for and an article ran in Vibe’s final issue called “Am I My Brother’s Keeper” (Part 1).
For those of you who are interested in reading Part II, Vibe’s recently been resurrected and you can find it tucked away in the new issue which features Drake on the cover. It’s only about 2 or 3 paragraphs but at least they got it out.

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: Continue Reading…
