There aren't many times that I chose to put out negative press, but I have to go to my blog style platform for this one. Last night, Atlanta was in a celeb frenzy with Hot 107.9's HOT ON THE RUNWAY at the Compound. The show was a mixture of hip hop and fashion, but seemed more like a money plot if you ask me! First things first, let me give the little credit that I can; at least all the scheduled performers showed up...Block Ent's JC & Gorilla Zoe (both of which will be performing during THUG Awards events), Konvict Music's Ray Lavender, Mario, Ashanti, and Ray J. The crowd was even surprised with performances by Rocko and Young Jeezy, but this is Atlanta, so that's all to be expected...so on with the rest of the night. The doors were to open at 9 (of course they send out 1000's of email passes CLAIMING to let the public in free with the pass before 10:00). Well after seeing the crowd get rerouted from the regular line to the VIP line, I quickly caught on to the LAME plot to keep the door still until after 10 (as if AG Entertainment or Radio One needs any more loot). We walked over to VIP and even saw the ladies of P.Valentine (Sherlita Patton & Tracey Valentine) being made to wait...maybe they don't know that's Big Boi's wife, or maybe they just don't give a d@mn! Either way, the staff manner in which their staff behaved was not only EXTRA, but RUDE to the folks that come in and pay their bills. Now on to the show...they had us packed like sardines in one section of the biggest club ever, which made for lots of attitudes and swollen feet (see how fashion and standing mixes together...not well huh?), but even more so than the standing room only, they held the show until almost 11:00, so you know by 12 when I left I was done!!! So done that we ended up missing Ray J and Yung Berg. Reports are surfacing that Ray J was in the spot with a certain label mate of Mario's (J.Records) whose wig looked as hot of a mess as the "stage manager" that tried to keep media away from getting photographs...don't worry, I got a nice pic of her (she took up the majority of the stage & standing room with her body mass alone, but I'mma be nice). I'm sure things don't seem all that bad with all of the banging performances and hot clothes from just about every major urban designer (Ashanti eve gave away a $5000 Dolce & Gabanna bag), but if you aren't convinced yet that the event was that bullsh!t, I woke up this morning to hear that someone was shot two times while sitting down at the after party (which ironically was at the same spot...told you they were on some Baby D sh!t...BOUT MONEY!!!!), police says there were no witnesses, nor the sound of gun shots, just someone found shot twice, slumped over a couch. Maybe they were aiming for that witch of a stage manager...yup the one in the pic below!!! Sorry to have to stoop to your level ma...but if I don't blast you, you'll never RESPECT the game (call it the teacher in me!!!) She's lucky that the pic is unclear, but one of our readers will unveil her to me...oh yeah ma, I'm at you like you were at me!!! LOL
