From Ashy to Classy

I really hope they do Biggie's story justice. I have faith, I think it's a good idea to do a movie about the raise and fall of the legend. Maybe some of these so-called rappers will learn something. B.I.G. was one of the dopeness to do it and his life was very inspiring to me when I was coming up. I LOVE to see a brother go from ashy to classy, from the hood to Hollywood, from the projects to flying on jets. RIP BIGGIE!

The Lastest VIDEO Interview with PBA 30

Check out the video of segment that aired lastnight on PBA 30 in ATL.

Shout outs to: Jack, Phil, and Dirk

http://www.pba.org/programming/programs/thisisatlanta/2584/

Dirk Hays, owner of East Atlanta Tattoo, Miya Bailey, a partner in City of Ink, and Phil Colvin, owner of Memorial Tattoo, are long-time tattooers. But don’t pigeonhole them. They’re all accomplished painters as well, and Dirk and Miya have even incorporated art galleries with regular exhibits into their shops.

On This is Atlanta, we talked to these three to get a sense of how an interest in art turns into a career in tattoos, what skills are required to move back and forth between skin and canvas, and what it’s like where the Atlanta tattoo scene meets the art world.

Southern Hip-Hop CLASSIC: Big Mike: Somthin' Serious 1994

These young kids don't know shit about REAL southern hip-hop. They think the south is all about snappin' & trappin' so here is a flashback to 1994 with Big Mike. One of the first (if not the first) southern rapper to step out of the N.O. before No Limit and Cash Money. After moving to Houston and hooking up with Rap-A-Lot's Prince and joining groups like the Convicts & Geto Boys, Big Mike dropped a southern hip-hop classic album "Somthin' Serious". I remember being in PVA and Erskin Street projects in Asheville NC when this cd dropped and man was everyone playing this in every hood. Enjoy this throwback, I will be back with more southern classics.
