TI's Home 4 Xmas Deal and What it Means for Hip Hop (Editorial)

In a year where everyone from Super Bowl winning pro athletes to a slew of rappers are being served jail time for crimes that normally land probation, ATL's "King of the South" is reportedly out of federal prison and serving the remainder of his sentence in a halfway house. I'm sure this will fuel speculation by "the streets" that something is fuzzy about the case but in any event its good to see another rapper home to spend time with his… Continue

Movie Centered About Breaking Premieres: B-Girl Movie Trailer

B-Girl movie has been screened in Atlanta, NYC, and London and has even sold over 12,000 DVDs

in UK. I'll have to admit that Save the Last Dance ruined every dance movie for me for a lifetime and thought in the first 20 seconds of this trailer that it would be a repeat. I came to my senses when I realized that corporate thievery of hip hop has all but phased out the b-boy culture and breakdancing as an artform so the film must be supported.

There's great… Continue

IPTV: I Got Next: Bobby Ray/B.O.B. Nothin' On You ft. Bruno Mars

Bobby Ray / B.O.B. is an artist that brings a breath of fresh air to the game and defies the stereotypes

that are typically labeled on Southern artists that dominate the charts today. Far from a "ringtone rapper", Bobby Ray is leading the new-school of hip hop artists after a series of well-received mixtapes.

His rhyme cadence draws many comparisons to Outkast supernova Andre 3000 and many feel he is the one to restore Atlanta back to its "Old… Continue
