Ludacris Calls For Atlanta Unity In Freestyle Reply To Omeretta The Great’s “Sorry Not Sorry”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: John Parra / Getty Ludacris put the city of Atlanta on his back over the course of his still ongoing career although he wasn’t born there or the state of Georgia itself. Via a new freestyle verse, the veteran rapper and actor called for unity within Atlanta while replying in part to Omeretta The Great‘s buzzy “Sorry Not Sorry” track. Ludacris dropped a quick verse atop “Sorry Not Sorry” and while he doesn’t mention Omeretta The Great by name, it’s clear that he’s hoping to clear the air over who can claim Atlanta proper and staying in so many words that the city and its surrounding regions are stronger as one. “I was born in Illinois/Mama making hella noise/’cause a star was born and I’ll take this as Omeretta gave him credit for it/’cause early I moved t...

Atlanta Season 3 Is the Best Sort of Television — Something Truly Unique: Review
One downside of the modern age of television is that it’s now not uncommon for some shows to take more than a year to return with new episodes. In the case of Atlanta, which debuted its second season in 2018, that wait was longer than most, but those four years were truly worth it. The Donald Glover-created series, returning for Season 3, remains as ethereal and shocking and fascinating as ever; having screened the first two installments, it’s a thrill to know that eight more are coming to engage and confound us. This will be a short review, because revealing too much about the first two episodes of the season feels like it would do a disservice to everyone involved, including the audience. But if the first two seasons of Atlanta did anything — hell, if the first few minutes of the Atlanta...

T.I. Hops Into The Real Atlanta Debate
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Omeretta the Great has the Hip-Hop world talking her up with the track “Sorry Not Sorry,” and sparked quite the discussion of who can claim to be from the A. T.I., a rapper most would say is deeply connected with the city of Atlanta, offered his take on the ongoing debate of the city’s real residents. In a since-deleted social media post, the rapper born Clifford Harris shared a map of Atlanta along with the following quote: “Respectfully…. Only fools dispute facts. #ToWhomItMayConcern.” It isn’t known exactly what T.I. was implying by posting the image.

Omeretta The Great Has Alleged Atlanta Big Mad With “Sorry Not Sorry”
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: YouTube / Youtube Omerettà The Great is an up and coming Atlanta rapper who has some of the hometown natives big mad. Her song and video for “Sorry Not Sorry” draws clear geographical distinctions as far as what really counts as “Atlanta,” and it has ruffled plenty of feathers. Shot in the Truist Stadium parking lot, home of the Atlanta Braves (in Cobb County), Omeretta spits bars outlining what does and doesn’t county as Atlanta. Apparently, spots like Bankhead and Adamsville count, but places like Decatur, College Park (where this guy named 2 Chainz hails from) and Gwinnett do not. Who knew? Well actually, the song has caused fierce debate with some folk co-signing and plenty of others crying foul. Expect the Clayyton County, Callege Park and East...
