Plug Into The Scene: Centric Presents: Soul Train Music Awards 2009

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

2009_1103parentaLabels0084

The cable channel formerly known as BET J, hosted the 2009 Soul Train Music Awards. Known now as Centric, the legendary award ceremony brought a legion of legendary musicians, actors and entertainers to the World Congress Center.

Charlie Wilson, Chico Debarge, Terry Crews, Keri Hilson, Tony Braxton, Tamia, Fantasia, Chaka Khan, Kevon Edmonds, Ryan Leslie, Trey Songz, Trey Songz, Tommy Davidson, The Housewives, Keith Sweat, Kelly Price and a whole bunch more.

My twitter followers got a birds eye view from the red carpet. Actor Terry Crews wants everyone to know that his wife is not WHITE, she’s bi-racial. And also told me that he’s about to open up his home to the camera’s as a new BET reality show on his family life is about to hit the boob tube.

Giunwine tried to play me on the red carpet. Picture it; G glides past me inconspicuously, I call him out on it, “You gonna diss Gyantunplugged, G?” He turns, puts his finger in the air signaling one minute then turns and walks away. Who does that?

Call me crazy, but I would’ve thought that he could use all the press he could get.

Anyway next weeks GUTV is gonna be off the hook as we got some amazing interviews. The ones that come to mind the most were my chats with Chico Debarge, Terry Crews, & Tommy Davidson.

Check some of the pictures below.

ATL Blog: Monica Soars With “Still Standing”, Watch Episode One!

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Monica’s new reality show, “Still Standing” premiered on BET last night right after this years Hip-Hop Awards.

When Mo dropped her soft launch to her now highly rated BET series on its sister channel Peachtree TV, I offered up a distasteful review back on my ole blog SOHH Atlanta. A review Mo had no problem checking me on when we met up a few weeks after. For me there was a an era of misrepresentation, that I had no problem speaking about.

Well clearly somebody somewhere took note because “Still Standing” is easily one of the best new reality shows on the “lowering my head in shame” network.

Though BET is killing it with the worlds current reality show craze, to me a lot of their programming is just plain whack. I mean have you seen Frankie and Neffe? But the songstress and her team have soared with a more real approach in depicting what life is like behind the red carpet of one of today’s most notable celebrities.

In episode one, Mo allows us all a birds eye view on life as a singer, wife, mother and overall entertainer as she struggles to reclaim her position on top of the charts with a brand new as yet unreleased album.

I’ve said it once and I will continue to speak on Monica’s undeniable light that shines bright from within. Her sassy, neck rolling, eye rolling demeanor, that many argue pigeonholed her career to a certain degree, has been soften with a much more peaceful, self-confident, presence that gets up inside of you and makes even the most hardest and blackest person get a little soft and pink. I mean look at former Def Jam artist Rocko for God’s sake.

Major Kudos to you Mo. Now lets get that music poppin’!

Take a few moments and absorb the “real”. Also check out Monica ’s response to the bloggers out there that may have something negative to say about her new show on GUTV.

Shouts to Melinda!! You was doing it with that dress and pearls momma.

Last night Gyantunplugged was up in the bldg at Monica’s BET premiere party for her new show “Still Standing” airing on BET.

Kodak from Kiddunot.com gave the site some major love with the pictures.

Per Kiddunot.com:

BET joined forces with Upscale Magazine and Hennessy Black last night in Atlanta, Oct 26th, for a private screening of Monica’s new reality series, Still Standing, and to celebrate her return to the music scene.

Jagged Edge, Bryan Michael Cox, Mychael Knight, and a slew of others came out to support the R&B singer.

Still Standing is set to capture Monica in her rawest essence as she makes her return to the music scene. The show will also focus on Monica as a mother. So ultimately expect to see her boyfriend, Rocko, and two sons, Rodney and Romelo, make appearances on the show as well.

Still Standing premieres on BET tomorrow Tuesday, October, 27 at 10/9c.

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

11 x 17 poster (print ready) 300dpi

Rapper Jus Nice took Atlanta by storm this past weekend by making moves with the real movers and shakers in the music game. Jus, along with his We Got Hits entourage were plugged into the BET award weekend scene, and even made a little video showing his fans that he’s most certainly on his way.

The BET Style Suite presented by ARE YOU IN, INC, private parties with Xbox and Akoo, Nice clearly has more connects then most as he continues to grind it out both in school and his music career.

Nice even played, “reporter”, and interviewed Interscope recording artist Verse, which I hear he’ll have for everybody next week.

Check out the funny video below.

Shoutout to Stack, Jah, Grouchy Greg and Soupy Jones.

Red Carpet Scoop: What Really Happened On The BET Red Carpet W/ Gyant & Frankie!

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009



While the whole internet is chattering about my interesting interview with Frankie from BET’s “Frankie & Neffie”, I decided to finally post the real video so everyone can understand exactly what happened at this years BET Hip-Hop Awards.

First off I did not make Keisha Cole’s mother cry – and the notion that I did is kind of scary, yet funny at the same time.

It’s no secret that Frankie has vivid past of substance abuse, which as a result has left the reality star completely unstable. Drug abusers cry if the sun shines.

But rather then spend an hour typing my account on the BET meltdown, how about you all just check the video above.

Sidebar, media outlets should learn to respect all other media outlets and NOT take their story and or interview and pass it off as their own. It seems everyone is afraid to ask the questions that I am going to ask, but still want to statch my footage. That’s just wrong no matter how you look at it.

Unlearn dammit!

Monday, October 12th, 2009

This years BET Awards red carpet proved to be yet another year of f*ckery. Keisha Cole’s momma and Reality Star, Frankie decided to rock a pair $5.99 grills you can pick up at any Chevron south of University Ave, as she walked the red carpet not once, not twice – but three times.

And after she grew tired of her own antics, she made it my way for an interview, which I will have for you next week on Gyantunplugged TV.

Busta Rhymes walking the red carpet with Mario looking… well just see for yourself.
