    The reality show known as All My Hoodrats aka As the Hood Turns officially titled Love & Hip Hop Atlanta aired it’s 5th episode of the 6th season last night (May 19, 2013).

    The ‘ratchetness’ continues this week.

    Erica goes through Scrappy’s phone and she doesn’t like what she finds. Newbies DJ Traci Steel and her baby daddy Drew are still bumping heads over his decision to see other women (even though they aren’t in a relationship). Whasserface is still complaining about her private parts.

    tweet

    Mimi introduces her new gay boyfriend. Newbie Che Mack gets “reintroduced” during a meeting in the studio with Stevie J and an altercation in the club with Joseline. Karlie Redd returns for yet another cameo appearance where she acts out for screen time by accusing Benzino of telling her he got him a piece of Joseline’s man meat taco.

    Rasheeda Kirk Frost 4
    It’s official… Rasheeda is preganant!

    Rasheeda and her hubby Kirk Frost proudly revealed her growing baby bump during a private screening of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta at Cream Ultra Nightclub last night (April 15, 2013).

    Coincidentally, I saw Rasheeda a few weeks ago at Kandi Burruss’s “The Kandi Factory” screening and there was no belly in sight.

    And I even wrote in my season 2 post above that Rasheeda wasn?t preggers… but I can admit when I?m wrong.

        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?
