What an awesome weekend this was. A wedding in Hilton Head with Jerome Pearson Photography, Photo-Booth services with Dominkii Coleman and Shandelle Simmons, and OUTKAST in Atlanta, GA on Sunday. Bourgeois as I am, I don’t listen to much hip-hop and rap music. Most of it did not reflect my upbringing and lifestyle. Nothing wrong with the struggle and that thug mentality, but everybody can’t be hood and into street pharmaceuticals. Some of us has to be attractive, financially secure, have quality women, complex minds and an expanded vocabulary.  Long story short, i dont listen to rap, but Outkast is in a bubble. They are in their own category…Game Changers.

It was 1996 when ATLiens was released. Brantley Herbert and his older brother put me on Outkast and I’m their biggest fan. I don’t know all the words to any one song, but I know every time I see a Cadillac, think about the Middle East (Bombs over Baghdad), look at a funeral home (Idlewild) and Atlanta, I think of Outkast. Some things stay and influence you for the rest of your life…Outkast is one of those groups. Thanks to Jerome Pearson for “Credentials” to be part of the media team. Truly an experience. Take a look…(I had fun!!!)
