ATL Blog: Jay-Z, Young Jeezy and @Songzyuuup Takeover Atlanta On BP3 Tour!

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Per Thaddeus McAdams:

On the Atlanta stop of the BP3/TM103 tour I knew it was gone be something special. I mean Summer Jam was just that teaser. So when the tour stopped you knew we had to put on. Now Trey had the ladies in a frenzy. Then “Mr. Birthday Bash” himself Young Jeezy came out to put on like we always do bringing Plies to the stage where he not only did “Plenty Money” but then debuted the new joint off the upcoming TM-103 album.

Hov and Bleek did what they do if you don’t know what that is then you need to log on to livenation.com and meet us in the next city cuz this is one that shouldn’t have been missed.

Trey Songz.

Young Jeezy.

Jay and Jeezy.

A nude picture of Beyonce couldn’t get me into this concert. Funny, and after all the looks I’ve given two of three artists. Would have been nice to take in the show, but seeing as though I don’t believe in coming out of my pocket for musical acts, I guess I haven’t arrived just yet.

@NickiMinaj Performs For @IamDiddy’s Son Justin!

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

Earlier today I posted some pics from Diddy’s 16 year-old son Justin’s birthday party, and now I’ve got the video. Nicki gave an impromptu performance for the kids.

Clearly I’m getting too old for hip-hop cause I just don’t see the musical appeal of this broad. I give her props for the brand building, however outside of that I’ll pass. #imjustsayin
