BiRTHDAY BASH 08 WRAP UP...iS THERE A NEW KiNG iN THE A???
The city is going crazy right now after the biggest concert hit the A this past weekend, and the joint was 100% SOLD OUT!!!! Hot 107.9's Birthday Bash brought out all of the industry's trump cards, and BRiSON was definitely on deck to get the scoop. There aren't many events that we have to decide whether or not we are even going to use our media credentials, but this is one event that has it's clear perks for being on the opposite end (or not so clear, if you know like I know...), but we did have a job to do, so we opted to get the angle from both sides!!!First things first, let's get into the all-star roster. We already gave you the scoop on Plies, Webbie, Gucci, Jeezy, and Shawty Lo, but that isn't even the half. We never even mentioned the Florida crew, Trina, 2 Pistols, and DJ Khaled; we got there a little late, so we missed Trin-Bean & 2 P's, but we did make it to see Khaled do his thing, and bring out Akon. The Game was also in the building to show the A that the west coast is still on the map. I think everybody was expecting ATL's own Keyshia Cole to come out with him, but she never did appear. However, special guests did include the entire Bankhead Clique (Dem Franchise Boyz, Shop Boyz, D4L, etc) courtesy of the homie Shawty Lo, whose opening shut the city down. The man had an entire film before he dropped down from the ceiling (which has never been done on a Birthday Bash stage to date) to kill his debut single. Of course, everybody was on edge to see if any beef between Lo and TIP would arise, and to see whose show would reign supreme, and to much delight (some of us), there were no signs of beef in the building, but judging the best of the bet will be left up to you. I will give props to "the King" for showing up with his entire Grand Hustle crew (even Tiny sat there looking crazy as hell...bouncing her head to the beat of whichever songs made her mojo flow). I guess TI's biggest delight was announcing the newest members of his roster, 8 Ball & MJG and Atlanta Eastsider B.O.B. All in all, there can't be very many complaints about the show since everybody showed up and showed out!
Major thanks to Tahira (Branded PR) and Katena (The R Group) for holding it down on the media side, and another BIG shout out to the players of WassupNAtl for holding down the VIP suite. Good looking out Scottie & Mario...y'all dudes did it GIGANTIC on this one & BRiSON was proud to be in the spot with y'all; shout out to Tron of WhatstheT.com, make sure you visit his site to see his review on the show (get down for the youtube video response too!!!) Enjoy a few more pictures courtesy of Mike Trammell from Break Magazine & P.U.S.H.I.N. (I know our ladies will enjoy a few of these...) FYI: The pics DO NOT answer the question in the title...that one's up to you...we riding with the A on that one!!!

Soulja Boy "Crank Dat" Video Shoot
