I have heard of Rasheeda, I remember seeing her on some mixtapes when I lived in Florida like 05-06. Lil Scrappy's mom I heard her on one of the radio station dogging out that Diamond chick her son used to date. The rest of the people Im not familiar with.

Yikes...another train wreck in progress. Just what hip-hop and the city of Atlanta needs, another season of foolishness...and before anyone starts I am a Black male die-hard hip-hop fan who totally participates and understands the culture. However, these shows are a horrible representation of my people (black folks), and my culture (hip-hop) and will be a horrible representation of my new home (Atlanta). It will just further Atlanta's reputation (falsely held by the rest of the country) as a bunch of black, shallow, materialistic, hood rich, gold digging (you fill in the blank). WAKE UP PEOPLE!

I've never seen the New York version. I know to many this news is a big deal though, according to women at the gig.

I wish Atlanta were big enough to embrace it's Hip Hop industry the same way New York City (the birthplace of Hip Hop) embraces its without people feeling like the whole city is being downgraded because it's being defined by a bunch of Hip Hoppers.

If you ask me the problem isn't that Atlanta has too much Hip Hop it's that it doesn't have enough other home grown industries (High tech, manufacturing, finance and banking, big time classical arts, etc. etc.)

Atlanta needs to embrace it being at the forefront of R&B and modern hip hop. Its maade a lot people rich and brought lots of money and fame to the city.

The money hip-hop brings in is great but why would anyone really want to embrace hip-hop as an industry in their town? The problem with hip hop is it's a thug culture, so you get the bad rap that comes with it. People getting shot at award shows, rappers living the thug life with guns/drugs, i.e. Atlanta's own T.I. I'm glad Outkast didn't go down that road. Think another rapper just got shot by another rapper in a studio recently.

I'm pretty sure the country singers that walk out of a studio in Nashville aren't concerned with getting 'capped'.

That's gangsta ass rap, not hip hop. Waka flacka, Gucci mane, young jeezy are just talking about experiences, not telling people to commit crimes. Its all in how people take the lyrics. Hip hop is more Jay Z, Lange!west, outkast. Trying to educate anyone who listens. What about those suburban thugs that grew up privileged but wanna act gangsta.
