    The “A” Pod ~ SouljaBoy Covers “Successful”

    Aug, 5 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Souljaboy (aka DeAndre Way) has jumped on Drake’s “Successful” track to spill all his emotions about what’s been going on during his fast track to fame. In the song, SB talks about how he’s realizing that “true happiness” can only be found inside of you. (My boo is growing up!)? Does that mean that the days of Gucci Bandanas and Farrari’s are over? Hhmph! Prolly not…but at least he’s on the road to self discovery.

    “No one person on this earth can change their past, but every single person on this earth can change their future…” ~ SouljaBoy

    Monica filmed the finale of her upcoming reality show “Still Standing” last weekend. I’m so excited for her! She’s worked hard on this upcoming cd and from what I’ve heard, it’s going to be hawt!? Mo is on artist that I personally STAN for, for no other reason than her authenticity. She is the real deal and her fans know it. In discussing her new album, Mo states:

    ?I just wanted to thank everyone for all the love everyone gives me, a lot of celebrities get it twisted and forget it?s the fans who make them…”

    Monica held an up close & personal private concert for the final filming. Bryan-Michael Cox, Mia X, Yung Joc and more all showed support for our hometown diva. Check out a few flix below:

    Photo by Garth Vaughan/Walt Disney Co.

    Big Boi was spotted chillin with Minnie Mouse during his vacay at Disney World. You betta watch your back Twan, I heard Mickey is a jealous mofo! 😆 It seems as though Big Boi is getting some much needed R&R before hitting the promo track for the release of his highly anticipated solo project, “Sir Lucious Leftfoot: Son of Chico Dusty”. The first single from the upcoming album, Royal Flush, was released March 2008 and the second single is “Sumthin’s Gotta Give” featuring Mary J. Blige.

    I think this is the cutest photo ever! A-town meets Magic Kingdom…Love it! Mad props to Freshalina for the heads up on the pic!

    Cops Suspended for Unauthorized Presidential Background Check

    Jul, 30 2009 | Written by ATLien

    461_30_Barack-Obama-using-his-Mac-and-Blackberry
    Two idiotic DeKalb County officers are being investigated for allegedly performing a background check on President Barack Obama. Officials would not release the names of the officers accused in the July 20th incident, but they each have been placed on administrative leave after the United States Secret Service notified county officials that Dekalb County computer equipment had been used to do a query on the President.

    The officers have not been charged with any crime (yet) but the county?s Internal Affairs division is handling the official investigation. When questioned about the incident, William ?Miz? Miller, DeKalb Public Safety director stated that such behavior would not be tolerated from their officers.

    ?As Public Safety Director for DeKalb County, I want everyone to know that we take these allegations very seriously,? he said in a statement. ?We expect our officers to adhere to professional standards and departmental policy. Furthermore, we do not and will not condone the inappropriate use of county equipment or resources.? (Source)

    Barack Obama is watching…y’all betta stop doin dump sh*t and get to work!

📌 Kandi filed on Nov 24
📌 Todd responded Nov 26
📌 On Dec 1, Kandi amended her petition AND filed a motion to seal the case 😳

Todd says he’s got the kids, Kandi wants the prenup enforced, and she wants to keep it all hush-hush from folks like me… but you know I’m reading it anyway! 🫢 Full video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/zifcIgQVA0A?si=lLU6kMnMMJJdqy_5

#KandiBurruss #rhoa #straightfromthea
        Kandi Burruss filed an amended complaint after Tod Kandi Burruss filed an amended complaint after Todd’s attorney called her out for procedural errors. She’s now asking for primary physical custody of the kids, and basically saying Bravo’s uncut footage should be subpoenaed too 👀

This ain’t reality TV — it’s real life, and it’s getting messy QUICK. And if Todd thought he was gon’ walk off with the kids? Kandi said: “Nah, I want it all.”

        For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — t For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — the love, the prenup, the babies, the fights, the businesses… all of it on reality TV.
But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

Meanwhile Todd ain’t trying to seal a thing.
So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?
Let’s talk about it… 👀🍿

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

        This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, problematic rant — and it needed to be called out. Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        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. 👽🛸
