A Tale of Two ATLiens
It was the best of times; It was the worst of times
For two Atlanta residents, this weekend was a time of highs and lows.
Clifford Harris (known as T.I outside of this blog) caught a most unfortunate case on Saturday. One invlolving Machine guns, silencers, and a mouthy bodyguard who clearly doesnt adhere to the mantras of his employer's music. This hours before he was supposed to be the headliner on the BET HipHop Awards.
Tyler Perry has done it again. You can say what you want about the quality of his movies, but film is an acquired taste. People are allowed to like what they like. But as that noted urban philospopher Shawn Carter said:
Men lie, Women lie, Numbers don't.
Three days into release and Mr. Perry has already broken even. Now, if only I can stop this dude from whining and bitching about the Wins he is piling up.
Now back to Clifford.
Naw, I can't even do it. It's not worth it.
There is no point in me mourning a man's life when clearly HE would rather throw it away in a pile of ammunition and guns. So...more on that as that situation becomes gradually more and more pathetic.

I'm waiting for him to team up with Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy in a Steel Magnolias kinda' movie. Or even better, a remake of Some Like It Hot.
i haven't checked out tyler's newest, but i'm gonna do so this weekend, although i have to admit the clip i saw of janet's acting left much to be desired. meanwhile, there are simply too many fine black men in the same spot for me not to see it.
Will definitely see it this weekend.
I must admit...never a TP fan. But "Why Did I get Married?" proves that evolution in artistry is truly important if you want to keep climbing the art ladder. Actually...I paid to see it twice.
"Some Like it Hot"? Hmmm...that could definetely be interesting.
