 CAPRICORN SEASON

Wow can you believe we are in mid-January and this is my first 2015 post?! Let me explain. I am part of the Capricorn Season, so once Christmas rolls around and New Years’ follow, everything mesh into a blur by my birthday, January 3^rd. The longest three-holiday celebration ever! I love fun times and in my mind I can give Mogul P. Diddy and Miami heavy weight PitBull a run for their money, lol!

So when I finally joined forces with my fellow Capricorn cousin (January 9th) and her friends- who took a weekend excursion from Indiana to the “A”, I was elated.

 

Singer R, Kelly was in town celebrating his birthday as well but we made a detour to another star-studded affair to club Mansion Elan. The possibilities are endless in Atlanta, just add the right group of people a destination and knock yourself out.

 

Each of the mansion’s VIP section was filled with bottle-poppin’ industry cliques & party-goers. The scene filled with a line of waitresses walking swiftly through crowds as they held up gold bottles (Ace of Spades) with sparklers; waiters carried hookahs. Cell phones went in the air, to record Rapper Busta Rhymes when he stepped out of VIP. Note: Busta’s flamboyant style… a playing card sweater, never disappoints no matter where he goes.

New York definitely illuminated the building. Many shouting on the mic but by the time O.T. Genasis gave a brief performance with his, (singing) “I’m in love with the CoCo…baking soda I got baking soda”, my ears was relieved... no shouting on the mic, lol.

 

My cousin is such a beautiful person (ahem, **clears throat** some would say, lol! Joking). One great benefit to being around her is staying youthful. They say laughter is the best medicine and she delivers say-it-like-you-mean-it statements, I’m usually in tears.

 

As the night, or should I say morning approached, we made our way out to the parking lot filled with half naked women, Bentley Raptures, Porsches, Benz, Limos and party buses, which we made our way onto. A disco ball, lights and music videos projecting on the screen: singer August Alsina showing. I want to give congratulations to newly engaged LaKesha and her fiancé Brian. Many blessings to you both.   

 

Although they wanted to still paint the town red, we found ourselves going our separate ways after four in the morning. My days of barely beating the sun home has long left the building, lol. A weekend is merely not enough time to experience everything but hopefully they soaked in a little ATL LIMELIGHT! Just maybe next time my cousin will have better luck running into Usher. KEEP HOPE ALIVE SAM, lol! Love you girl. Until next time -xoxo

HIP HOP ICON: DOUG E FRESH

Now although it’s been since last week the 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards was aired and BET have its heavy rotation locked down like a held hostage; it still remains a great show. Most award shows have the good, bad and the ugly but BET did its job to give the Hip Hop community and BET watchers something to appreciate.

I must give SALUTE to one touching and well-deserved moments of the show and that is the recipient of the ‘I AM HIPHOP ICON’ award…Doug E Fresh. To create his own lane with his human beat-box sound, will forever go down as a pioneer of Hip Hop.

No one can’t deny the touching moment where he announced that he previously lost his mother five weeks earlier. It is always great to achieve accomplishments but extra special for loved ones to experience your journeys and growth making them extremely proud. Mama I made it.

I have seen Doug E Fresh perform many times but if you haven’t, check him out; he takes everyone on a ride with plenty of crowd participation for sure. I caught him a few months ago, and as always he killed it! Oh what fun.

 

Every snippet /mix that dropped took everyone back to old dances, Michael Jackson moves and good old fashion 'feel-good' music. Congrats Doug E Fresh on your award and many more years of bringing us "you".

 

[Singing] “Doug E, Doug E, Doug E can’t you see somehow your beats just hypnotize me...lol”.
