LOVE this emcee... from the way he moves to his insane lyrical approach to the track. Refreshing and definitely looking forward to Vol.2!!

So I get all the scoops of celebrity news (icecream) everyday and some I pass on some I don't think is even relevant or news worthy. People divorcing to me is NOT news but more a celebration of yet another failed marriage. Divorce is never easy especially when children are involved. This whole Dwayne Wade/Siohvaughn Wade & Gabby Union is just getting out of hand. I send my prayers that Mr. Wade does what is best for his children as he is head of the household. First off keeping Gabrielle out of the childrens lives would be a good start! As far as Mrs. Wade I hope she guards her babies and keeps her ill feelings for Dwayne separate from what is best for her children. Our babies need both parents regardless of what we "feel".

Jazze Pha in association with Kenya Crooks “The World’s Greatest Weight Loss Expert” and EntertainCorp presents the first annual national Jazze Pha Take It Off, $1000 Weight Loss Challenge.

In an effort to bring awareness to obesity, Jazze Pha is pledging to lose 100 lbs within a 4 month time period. “A lot of people depend on me. I want to live to see my children become adults. I now understand that my weight loss isn’t so much about me as much as it is about the many people that I may inspire to live a healthier lifestyle through this movement to cure obesity.”

The grand prize winner of the national challenge will be awarded a cash prize of $1000. The top 3 runner ups will receive prizes that include a spa day with a makeover at Texturz salon in Duluth, a photo shoot with Drexina Nelson, and a free month of group training with Kenya Crooks. If a national contestant is deemed the winner, you will have the option to choose prizes from local vendors in your area.

I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE JAZZE PAH DOING THIS AND I THINK IT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF BEING CONSCIENCE. THESE GUYS & LADIES ARE SUCH AN INFLUENCE ON OUR CHILDREN LET ALONE THEIR OWN CHILDREN. WE HAVE LOST TOO MANY PEOPLE TO HEALTH PROBLEMS DUE TO OBESITY AND I CAN SEE THE HEADLINES NOW "ATL PRODUCER DIES FROM HEART ATTACK" SIMILAR TO BIG PUN'S STORY. I JUST PRAY HE IS SMART ABOUT IT BECAUSE IF YOU ARE NOT SUPERVISED IT IS VERY POSSIBLE TO DIE FROM THAT DRASTIC OF A WEIGHT LOSS. I WISH JAZZE PHA THE BEST AND WILL BE LOOKING FOR THE WINNERS SUCCESS STORY. ~ MISSY B

This national contest will kick off on May 24, 2010. For more details, visit www.thekenyacrooks.com to register today

"With $5 on gas getting no where fast deep down in the sticks of Georgia......my neighbors overseas and they fighting like hell and I can smell it from across the water." ~ Fishscales

The world is in the midst of havoc, chaos and destruction. As the days pass us by and we get up everyday to pay our bills I pray that we take a minute to think about "where" we are going. With the people in power we trust them with the future of our world. Don't want to get too deep but just take a minute and wake up! People are dying in earthquakes, women and children are being burned from bombs of war and your neighbor might be contemplating suicide as we speak because they feel he or she is letting their family down due to the economic status. Where are you going? Does it really matter what we "ride" in to get to our destination? People are so consumed by big rims, bright lights and the latest piece of clothing when really they have no idea what is really happening right in front of their faces.

"The grass gets mighty green by the fence which side is the question I'm headed in that direction knowledge is the weapon and I use it for protection if you think I'm really slipping then run up and learn your lesson." ~ Skinny DeVille

Skinny makes a point when he says Knowledge is a Weapon... Knowledge is POWER! Knowledge is free if we just take the initiative to seek it out. I'm not talking about reading your local newspaper or watching CNN persay I mean reading, asking questions, speak to your elders and or mentors because sitting by and watching the grass grow or the cars go by is going to only pass the time. A rude awakening may one day just thump you in your head from the backside and put you right on your face. Material things come and go but your peoples, your passions and your freedoms is what is really important. What have you done today to secure your freedoms future?

Nappy Roots has ALWAYS brought a message to the table. Music is powerful because it can build you up or tear you down. Just like you can build yourself up or you can tear yourself down... I love Nappy Roots for building up and sharing a message that goes beyond Hiphop.... they're just humans saying what most of us or all of us are thinking or feeling.

Struggle to me is beautiful because it brings a sense of strength you just can't get any other way...the starving artist needs to make money somehow! So you might find Goldi Gold selling a piece of artwork or a t-shirt from his clothing line JUNGLE45 which you can find all over ATL. You can catch him at your local art shows or in his crib as he goes over all types of inspirational material in all sorts of forms.Goldi states, "I overstand that everybody get they chance to shine so in due time yo, in due time!"I have no doubt in my mind that Goldi Gold's creative flow will continue to hit the mark not only in the urban marketing community but on a whole amongst other artists.His professional approach, his laid back demeanor, his versatility is only the tip of the iceberg with this man who has such a natural talent but its determination & practice that pushes him over the TOP!
