  • Back to the Future ~ Kandi & Tiny of Xscape

    Apr, 27 2009 | Written by ATLien


    I just spotted this video of Kandi Burress and Tameka “Tiny” Cottle discussing what it would be like to travel into the future and had to post it. In the vid, Tiny says she would love take a secret peek into the future grown lives of her children. Speaking about her daughter having grandkids and visualizing King as a superstar like his daddy. Kandi desires to visit the past for a visit with her brother who passed a year before Xscape got a deal.

    Check out the video below:

    Flix/Video ~ Oprah Defends Her Weave

    Apr, 25 2009 | Written by ATLien

    At the end yesterday’s episode of Oprah, the talk show host addressed two pressing questions from all of her Twitter People…aka “Tweeple.” First was “Am I tweeting myself or is my assistant writing for me?” and the second was “Am I wearing a weave? Everybody’s like, ‘Oprah, we love your weave.’

    She clarified that she is in fact, in charge of her own twitter by stating, “I tweet myself, that’s why you haven’t seen that many tweets. I can’t tweet all day, okay?” Then addressed the weave question via twitter (above) and also on the air with “This is not a weave, this is my hair!”

    I always say that a hit dog will hollar, but hey, she may be telling the truth. I just don’t understand what all the hoopla is about if she is.? Anywhoo, check out the photo she displayed on air of herself pre-makeup with her hair unstyled below: *Warning* It ain’t pretty!

    Newsflash! ~ Popeyes Runs Out of Chicken

    Apr, 24 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Popeye’s $4.99 chicken special last week dayum near caused a riot in New York the other day when they ran out chicken during the promotion:

    The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle says that the first location to run out was in Rochester, with cars filling the parking lot and spilling out onto the street. Hungry chicken fans then drove to another location, which also ran out of chicken.

    “It was quite the promotion,” a shift manager at a local Popeye’s told the paper. “It was phenomenal. We had people trying to place multiple orders. The promotion allowed only one order per person. It got crazy at the end.”

    Meanwhile, on Long Island, police were called in after chicken-related traffic started to cause serious problems during rush hour. Eventually, the entrance to the Popeye’s was cordoned off with crime scene tape. (Source)

    Dayum! Those New Yorkers were serious about their chicken!! I think the Atlanta locations were smarter and saw all y’all coming cause I haven’t heard of any disgruntled customers round these parts. Don’t act like you weren’t in line over there in West End…. cause I was right behind you! 😆

    Shouts out to loyal reader and fellow twitterer Kayce_M for the tip! Actual News footage below: Continue Reading…

    Apr, 24 2009 | Written by ATLien

Now, I told y’all about shouting out all these companies who don’t give a got-dayum about you…but *sigh* I know somma ya’ll don’t listen. Anywhoo…Dro, always the fashionista, has been rockin a Polo man-bag for a while and I can’t help but wonder what the hell is in it???? I mean….what does a man need a purse for? Hmmmmmm? *scratching head*

    I can think of at least 3 things but then I’m stomped. Check out my mini list + the full video of Young Dro and his new producer, Raz, chopping it up with Ms. RiverCity from Ozone Mag below. Get you some. You’ll thank me later… Continue Reading…

    Last Night in The “A” ~ Flying Hawks, Jeezy, Tip, and more

    Apr, 23 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Photos via ExclusiveAccess & AJC

    The object of my lust and affection, Young Jeezy, was spotted chillin in the VIP last night at Luckie Food Lounge. Oh yeah, so were Tip and Tiny, Nassir Jones and his crew and more. There was a whole lot going on in Atlanta last night: the Mike Jones/Bun B/Paul Wall free concert, the Hawks playoff game, the Cavi Mixer at the W. Dayum!? And my “A”zz was stuck at the hospital! *sigh* a story for another day. But after everything died down, most people migrated over to Luckie for Wednesday night’s Investment Club.

    Check out a few photos from a few events below:

    Tip was spotted at the Hawks game last night.

    I wonder if that was before or after the Hawk got loose?

    The game had to be postponed for a while in the first half after Spirit (the mascot) got loose and flew all around the arena. When the players spotted the bird, they refused to go on until the handler could get the birdie in control.<~ wimps! 😆 If that was a tactic, it didn’t really matter….cause the Heat still won (108-93).

    Video of the scary flying birdie and more photos under the cut:

        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?

She said “one closing down, more to come” — so is this a boss move or a sign she’s liquidating assets after that prenup drama?
