I was kinda slow to get down with the whole text messaging thing. At first I couldn’t grasp the concept, so I used to get mad when people would text me and I’d call them back like, “what the fux do you want?” That was back when I didn’t have texting on my phone and the shit was something like 10 cent a text or something that just made my phone bill higher for no damn reason.
Since then I’ve grown to be a texter myself. I have unlimited texting on my phone and sometimes the shit is a life saving. It’s a good tool while in the club, since it’s impossible to hear from inside clubs because the music is loud…now, you can text whoever’s calling you like, “Im n da club. Holla at u lata.”
It’s particular useful when trying to maintain multiple relationships with various women because if you don’t feel like talking or you simply don’t have the time to call all of them, you can send them all the same text message, something like “Thinking of U” or some bullshit like that. Chicks think ridiculous things like that are cute and they won’t harass you about not calling if you text them (not that I do that, I’m just saying).
There’s a new song slow burning in Atlanta about text messages. All it really takes to make a hit is take a topic that people can relate to and sing about it like myspace or tattoos. It’s that simple.
Anyways, I kinda like the song because people text me all the time and I can relate. I don’t know anything about this group (I couldn’t even find their myspace page, how wack is that) but no one really cares who sings a song anymore, it’s not like they’re gonna buy your shit.

(And no E, the Bulls aren’t fuxing wit’ that lineup).


Starting tonight, Atlanta hip-hop radio station Hot 107.9 will be airing DJ Dram(a) and the Aphilliates Gangsta Grillz radio 5 days a week (Mon.-Thurs. at 10 pm and Sat. at 8 pm). If you’re someone like me that listens to the radio, this is a big fuxing deal. Gangsta Grillz radio is hot shit because Dram(a) and them always have some new and exclusive music to play and the PD over at 107.9 pretty much let them play whatever the hell they wanna play, which usually makes for good radio.
I’m a music editor, which means, it’s my job to listen to the radio and see what new songs are poppin’ and Gangsta Grillz radio is better than most rappers’ albums. I can’t lie, this radio show is one of the reasons I moved to Atlanta (ok, not really) because we haven’t had good radio shows like that in South Cack since Charlamagne left for the Wendy Williams Experience. My boys were in town a few weeks back and they were in awe because they’d never heard shit like it (oh and the Aphilliates’ drops are killer too).
I haven’t heard anything about Dram’s mixtape case and he’s since gone back to dropping mixtapes, so I guess he had that whole R. Kelly thing mastered and maybe Mike Vick should consultant this dudes on how not to end up in jail.
I’m not sure if I’ll be tuning in tonight but hell, it doesn’t matter because it’ll be on Mon-Thurs then Sat. and I don’t have to wait a whole week until it comes back on anymore.
I had a long weekend and now I’m on my Zone ish, check this vid and I’ll catch back up with ya’ll later. (Spotted @ Nah Right).
Unrelated Bonus Video: Give It To Me (Wasn’t the Sean Paul and Keyshia Cole song called “Give It To Me” or something like that? Just wondering).
I had no choice but to flashback to when UGK was kinda wack on the mic I was first introduced to UGK (Was it really 15 years ago? Damn). The first song I’d ever heard from these dudes was “Pocket Full of Stones” off their Too Hard To Swallow album. Our neighborhood pusha played that shit at a house party all night and ever since then I’ve been a UGK fan. (Although the first UGK album that I purchased myself wasn’t until their 1996 album Ridin’ Dirty).
Anyways, Pimp made this week one we’ll never forget. I’ve been trying to figure out what made Pimp C transform into the MaDd RaPpEr but XXL Editor-In-Chief YN has a few reasons here. I think he might be on to something.

King Magazine (my favorite booty mag I might add) is having a couple parties in the Carolinas this weekend. The first party is tonight hosted by Charlamagne Tha God and Shay “Buckeye” Johnson from Flavor of Love, with DJ Chuck T on the 1’s and 2’s. It goes down tonight in Charlotte at Club Crush. And King Magazine is having a model search tonight, so all you myspace models out there, match your panties with your bras and get your shit together.
Charlamagne brought King Magazine Editor-In-Chief Jermaine Hall to Columbia a few months back, where he discovered Columbia native Sharina “Big Baby” Hudson, who’s the “Backshot” pick in this month’s issue of King (I had problems scanning her backshot, so just take my word for it now and I’ll put her backshot pic up later). So it’s safe to say if you wanna get into King Magazine, tonight and Saturday night is your chance.
Saturday’s party is at Stilletos in Columbia and it pretty much features the same people except Chuck T won’t be DJing, DJ Frosty will. Big Moe keeps pushing this party as a celebration for former South Carolina Gamecock basketball standout Brandon Wallace. Dude got picked up by the Boston Celtics…hopefully, he doesn’t get cut by the time the party goes down Saturday because that wouldn’t be a good look. Anyways, these parties should be official and it ain’t like you all have shit better to do in the Carolinas this weekend, so be there.

Please take caution when sending songs to my inbox because wack shit will be put on blast. Today’s victim is Lydell Lucky outta Dallas, TX. This dude had the audacity to email this song to me with the email titled “Next To Blow!!!!!!”
Well bruh, you wanted exposure right?
