SFTA Flashback ~ “5 Deuce- 4 Tre” ~ Backbone
My boo Backbone of the Dungeon Family hit the charts in 2001 with “5 Deuce- 4 Tre” and all you true ATLiens will feel me when I tell you that when this song randomly played in my car the other day, I immediately felt the need to drive slow through 5 pernts. *sigh* memories!
Needless to say…there were a whole lotta Grady Babies makin cameos on Peachtree Street when this video was filmed.
I swear I could post flashbacks all day everyday! Check out the video below: Continue Reading…
SFTA Flashback ~ “Just Kickin It” ~ An Ode to Kandi Burruss
I first met Kandi?Burruss on a summer day in 1993.? I was an intern on the set of the first music video for the group Xscape. The song was ?Just Kickin It? and I was doing more than just kickin?it on what felt like the hottest day ever!
Video ~ ?Just Kickin It?? ~ Xscape
Trivia? the club was the Masquerade, the neighborhood was little Five Points and the convertible actually belonged to Tiny.
My nondescript role was to do whatever anyone on set told me to do. However, my personal mission was to make sure that I STOOD OUT FROM THE REST of the ?low folks? on the totem pole.
If I was asked to go get something, then I was off to the races, sprinting to my final destination in record time. I remember being so focused and watching everything and everyone around me.? Back then as I surveyed my surroundings I remember Kandi Continue Reading…

O.S.A.M. ~ “A” BROTHER From ?A?nother Mother
Brad Pitt & Robin Givens (circa 1989)
So, I?m sitting at my daughter?s honor?s program with one of her best friends, Braves-game-ghetto-cheering for all of their ‘The Smawwt One’ buddies. I love this kid! He was all hugged up in the parking lot with his Sasha/Malia-looking girlfriend yesterday who is on her way to UGA to study pre-med, I believe. He plays in the inner-city high school band and was actually in a fairly popular snap music video for a few seconds (below).
Dem Franchize Boyz ~ Talkin Out the Side of Yo NeckWhen they all went to the Battle of The Bands college fair earlier this school year, they got stopped by members of other bands who recognized him from his cameo. Purportedly, ?He got that fire!? Did I mention that he?s white?
That White Kid. Remember him? Not the Jamie Kennedy, Straight From The ?Bu caricature kid who walked around ?acting black? and only saw black folk on tv, one lunchroom table over and at his back door, but the kid who was very aware of his ?whiteness? in a sepia-toned world and didn?t care.
