After being in Atlanta almost 9 years, I can honestly say I think I witnessed the sickest thing ever last night at the Fox Theater!!! "BIG" was a mixture of hard core hip hop infused with the best of soul that ballet could ever offer! I cannot wait to format the rest of the footage just to seal the deal for those people that are strattling the fence about getting to the show this weekend. I have two words for you JANELLE MONAE!!! This chick is amazing; she's so eclectic and full of energy; she will definitely be getting those broadway offers if the ballet receives the national credit that it should. Antwan "Big Boi" Patton couldn't help but appreciate all of the love that Atlanta showed last night from the red carpet full of Purple Ribbon's finest and Atlanta's elite to the fresh after party that was graced by celebs like Tichina Arnold. As if being a part of the diamond sellig duo Outkast isn't enough, Big Boi continues to be a ground breaking force in the city he loves to call home, and further prove why he truly deserves those $50,000 kicks he recieved last year. Definitely have to BIG up a long time friend/student of mine Dori, you danced your heart away, and I am very proud of you! Much appreciation to Tamiko of Word-Ink as well.
