    Update June15, 2019: Comedian and movie star Tiffany Haddish has canceled her planned performance at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta over the state’s “heartbeat” bill.

    The actress sent a statement to ticketholders saying that  “After much deliberation, I am postponing my upcoming show in Atlanta.  I love the state of Georgia, but I need to stand with women and until they withdraw Measure HB481, I cannot in good faith perform there.”

    The controversial heartbeat bill will go into effect January 1, 2020 unless lawmakers reverse course. Critics fear the state’s film industry will be gutted if the bill becomes law.

  • Playboi Carti On Atlanta: ‘This Is The Home Of Hip-Hop’

    2 Min Read
    Atlanta rapper Playboi Carti is making waves with as the hype rises for the release of his third full-length album, “Whole Lotta Red.”
     
    The artist, born Jordan Carter, lives in a Buckhead mansion with his girlfriend, Aussie rapper Iggy Azalea.While some people evidently know this, most of hip-hop-dom found this out from a recent interview with Fader magazine.

    Playboi Carti: Atlanta is home of hip-hop

    During the sitdown, Playboi Carti makes it known that his hometown of Atlanta has the music game on lock.
     
    “This is the home of the whole hip-hop,” he tells Fader. “Niggas ain’t f*** with us on this music s**, and I ain’t just talking about me.”
    Atlanta music has certainly made a name for itself over the past 30 years. But it really took off with the creation of LaFace Records in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
    That’s what propelled a young Andre Benjamin to tell the hip-hop world at the Source Awards that “Atlanta got something to say.”
    Playboi Carti has a point that the ATL is likely where the next big music superstar will come from. He says when he big ups Atlanta’s musical success, it’s not a reference to himself.

    Atlanta artists with #1 or #2 singles

     “I’m talking about the next nigga that we don’t even know about right now, making a song. He’s from Atlanta,” he tells Fader.
    Is Playboi Carti just blowing smoke? Or does he know a thing or two about ATL music?
     
    Here are the Atlanta artists with #1 and #2 singles — from CeeLo, to TLC, Monica, Ludacris, Lil Jon, Ciara, Outkast, Usher, T.I. … (takes a breath)… Shop Boyz, DL4, Young Jeezy, Toni Braxton … and many more.
