Iverson bought a new home  on Paces Ferry Road, in Buckhead Georgia to help get away from all the craziness that he has been dealing with.  Groupies,  there is a gate so you will not be showing up at his doorstep.   Don’t think that because he is on sabbatical from the NBA he can’t afford it. He purchased the new home for $4.5 million after looking at pictures of it. I must saw  A.I. has money the long way. I hope he can keep it all ..

TheShoeGame.com Shut The Nike Store At Lenox Square Mall Down!

My homie G-Roc from TheShoeGame.com and his staff hosted their 3 Year Anniversary event at the Nike Store Lenox Square Mall. The event was crazy and packed with sneakerheads from Atlanta. People also came to support TheShoeGame.com from New York, Alabama, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Tennessee, and South Carolina. TSG definitely did it B-I-G, and you would think throwing an event at the Nike Store was enough, but NO, they gave away so much stuff. They gave away 2 pairs of Space Jam Air Jordans, 3 pairs of Gucci SB Dunks, 2 NikeiD sessions, LeBron 7’s, and a bunch of t-shirts.

DJ Greg Street was the official DJ for the night and Air Force 1 guru, Mayor was the special guest. Rosco Dash performed his hit “All The Way Turnt Up”, and up and coming ATL trap rapper, Pill also hit up the event to show love. All in all, it’s no doubt that TheShoeGame.com has a massive following. The event will most likely go down in sneaker history for them being able to get the Nike Store to throw their party, and with all the giveaways.

Kasim Reed is now Atlanta’s 59th mayor! Last night he held a watch party that turned into a celebratory party at the Hyatt in downtown Atlanta.. Jermaine Dupri and Dominque Wilkins, famed NBA player, came out in support, as well as Ryan Glover. It was an amazing thing to see the emotion in the room when everyone heard the news that he won. I am proud and happy to say that I had the opportunity to work with this campaign almost from the very beginning. This was also my first political party. I am a proud supporter of Kasim Reed and would like to tell him congrats from Freddyo.com!

Katt Williams Gets Arrested… I Was A Guest, Not A Burglar!

Monday November 9th 2009

Not only was Katt Williams was arrested Monday morning for burglary and criminal trespassing in metro Atlanta. But the comedian − normally known for his short stature and straight hair − is even more infamous for the mugshot he took in Coweta County.

Not only was his hair nappier than Ceely from the Color Purple, but he was cheesing like he just won the lottery! What exactly was going through his head I have no idea, probably “Man these nigga$ going to get it when they release my ass.” Or maybe he’s thinking of the inevitable jokes that will be told about him. Maybe he came up with a few of his own. (We’re secretly hoping that Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock toss a few into the mix.)

Katt’s lawyer, William Briggs, told TMZ that Williams was a guest, not a burglar, and that the false accusations are the result of a disagreement. Apparently Katt is filming a movie in Atlanta, and was staying at the producers house; which is the house that was “robbed”. According to our friends at Dlisted.com he had gotten into it with one of the producers employees, and the employee decided to get even.

Later today though, Katt Williams was released on bail, and is currently denying all allegations against him.

Thats one hell of a way to get even if you ask me, it just sucks that he may have to go to jail for crying wolf! Sucks to see another person hating on someone for something so simple, you dont play with peoples lives like that. But hey like Katt says, “If you ain’t got a hater you doing something wrong!”

What Do You Think About The BET Hip Hop Awards 2009?

If I could describe the 2009 Bet Hip Hop Awards in one word I would say Gucci. Rapper, Gucci Mane made several appearances on tonight’s Hip Hop Awards. I must say tonight was his time to shine. Even Soulja Boy’s performance was centered around Gucci; both the fashion label and the rapper. I would have to say that BET was very successful at putting the spotlight on Atlanta’

s hip hop and rap artists. With Gucci Mane, Soulja Boy and The Dream making at least 2 appearances on stage for performances, it was clear where the award show was hosted.

It was very entertaining to see Snoop Dogg back on stage in his Parental Advisory jeans. And who knew Kid and Play would make an appearance doing their famous dance on stage together to present an award. Goodie Mob gave us all a taste of what Hip Hop in Atlanta really is from their lyrical flow on to their classic singles and their unique fashion sense. Who can forget Jay-Z and Jeezy’s performance? They make a great collaboration.

Mike Epps did an extraordinary job as the host. Unlike some other comedians who host an award show, he was able to entertain, keep the audiences interest and bring live to the show in between award presentations and performances. Nice choice of host this year BET!

Ice Cube was the perfect honoree of the 2009 Bet Hip Hop Awards’ I Am Hip Hop Award. Ice Cube’

s influence on Hip Hop music as a rapper, accomplishments in the community, success as a actor and in his own film business make for all the reasons why he deserved this award.

Missy Elliot and Fatima Robinson, who both coincidentally worked close Aaliyah, also deserved their honors for their influence in the Hip Hop culture. These women especially made an impact by being a couple of the very few success stories for women in this genre of music. Missy is the only woman in Hip Hop to have 6 platinum albums. Her creativity is displayed in her different sense of music and the expression of her songs in her distinct videos. Fatima is one of the best choreographers Hip Hop has known. She creatively put together the most entertaining and trendsetting dances seen in the videos and concerts in artists such as Brandy, Busta Rhymes, Aaliyah, Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly, Prince, OutKast and more.g others.

The BET Hip Hop Awards always seems to surprise it’

s audience with something completely different and new each year. Keep a close watch, you may never know what to expect in the upcoming years.
