See Ludacris and Soulja Boy For Free

betawards.1014-13.JPG

Atlanta rap phenoms Ludacris and Soulja Boy will be performing at a free, post SEC Football Championship concert Saturday at the Tabernacle.

For a chance to win a mobile ticket good for two people, text ATTLUDA to 66937. Those tickets will be sent to the winners by the end of the day today. And the first 1,000 fans in line Saturday with that mobile ticket will be admitted. Doors open at 8 p.m. .

“I’m excited to be helping AT&T recognize and celebrate the SEC Championship, which is such a time-honored tradition,” Ludacris said in a press release.

“I receive an amazing amount of love from the South when it comes to supporting my projects — especially in college football games where I see some of the players and fans doing my dances when they score,” added Soulja Boy in the release. “We even tried to capture some of that excitement in the video for my new single, ‘Bird Walk.’ Performing a free show at an SEC Championship game afterparty is the least I can do to give some of that support and love back.”

And not just there — Soulja Boy is scheduled to appear at the AT&T Camp Creek store (3618 Marketplace Blvd. in East Point) Friday at 4 p.m. .

AT&T will carry exclusive ringtones from their new albums (“Theater of the Mind” and the “iSouljaBoyTellem”), available for download in the AT&T MEdia Mall directly from handsets and online at www.att.com/mediamall.

Also after the concert, AT&T will also have exclusive concert footage available for viewing through Cellular Video. Text ATTLUDA to 66937 to receive an alert when the footage is available for viewing.

Planning to go to the concert and/or the signing? Heard “Theater of the Mind” yet?

Another terrible idea by the city. We all know that 99.9% of the fans at the game will be white. Probably 90% of those fans will be from out of town. Why put these innocent people in danger? I can picture all of the thugs now standing outside waiting for the game to end so they can attack. Lets hope there is PLENTY of APD out there! Who would want to see these thugs play anyway?

Jennifer sweetheart, why must you and others in this great SOUTH that we live in be so negative and label people with your ignorant sterotypes? If you knew what you were talking about, you would know that the SEC Championship is played at the Georgia Dome and not Philips Arena. Parking for the Georgia Dome is not in the area where the Tabernacle is located, its on the other side, you know where the Dome is. Yea, you could park over by the Tabernacle but you stand a better chance of getting robbed taking that EXTREMELY long walk back to your car than you would by a bunch of teenagers who could care less about the game and just want to go see a free concert. Last note, if you have kids, check their Ipods, they are probably listening to Soulja Boy or Ludacris. Good Day.

Do you morons know why comments like those are made? Do you not watch the news? Anytime there is a murder, black. Anytime there is a robbery, black. Anytime there is a carjacking, black. Anytime there is a drug deal, black. That is just the way it is. If the thugs would be good citizens instead of future inmates, comments like these would not be made.

Didn’t Bama fans beat the snot out of a UGA fan attending last year’s game at Bama? I wonder what percentage of those involved were white.

As far as Bama fans in Atlanta goes, the last time Bama was in the SEC Championship Game, I went to the Falcons game the next day and walked by a HUGE stain that looked like a pool of blood on one of the walk ways right outside of the Dome. Wonder if any Bama fans might have been involved in any random violence and what race they might have been…

Long story short, there’s more violence at a typical SEC football game than the typical rap concert.

“Oh Please” ARE YOU KIDDING??? Was that a joke? Do white people bring guns to SEC games? NO. Do white people bring guns to “da club?” NO. You thugs carry guns everywhere you go! Especially a thug rap concert! Having a shooting is much worse then having a fight.

Where are these crazy people getting this stuff???
You racist idiots (and don’t cry that you aren’t racist because your ignorant fears are based on your latent racist thoughts of people you know NOTHING about)are completely off base!

Man, this is truly sad. You know what? All you misguided racist idiots just do this — stay the hell out of Atlanta. There are plenty of us who will gladly pay $60 or $80 or $100 bucks to see a great game and then go to a great concert.
Keep your racist butts at home in the freakin’ country, you idiots!

Hey Dbiv. Nice name first off. Second, you thugs always say that. Yea, you are right about the serial killers. But guess what, everyday, you thugs kill, kill, kill. DAILY! The serial killer thing happens once every 10-20 years. Everyday, in Atlanta alone, there are 2-4 murders committed by blacks. That comes to around 800-900 per year in just metro Atlanta. Nice try though. However, keep killing each other please. Maybe one day Atlanta can be a good, safe, city again.

jennifer and rick live in the same trailer and have already hooked up, as good ‘bama brothers and sisters do. not sure how they scored tickets to the game, on the fixed income they have, but they should be recognizable by the pickup truck, gun rack and confederate flag window decals.

I just think it’s funny that a certain element here goes overboard supporting young black men playing football but go absolutely ape $#%* about black rappers. Nevermind that the overwhelming majority of the black football players probably listen to these rappers (and a significant population of white students and adult fans).

Of course people like Ron believe that all blacks are the cause of all problems in this country.

I have had my car broken into in Atlanta. I know how Jennifer must feel. Its makes you feel violated. After a good night out on the town and returning to find your windows broken out. All of the boys from Colli Park, Zone 3 and Zone 4 along with the urban outdoormen will be prowling around this weekend, seeking whom they may destroy. Jennifer and Rick! Stay, let me have your tickets to the game.

to rick and jennifer… do you two remember the couple who was shot and killed a few weeks ago after an SEC game? i believe it was the LSU game… they went to a opposing team fan home and was shot… would that incident keep you from attending SEC games in the future… and by the way, what was the race of the alleged killer(s) in that incident???

You mean we’re not even safe in our own homes when an SEC game is on???

Rolltide23,

How can you have a good night out on the town in Atlanta? Many believe that place is Hell on Earth and is more dangerous than any place on Earth. I want to move into a rural area where crime never happens. Can anyone suggest a good clean city where a crime has never been committed and never will?

ron what facts do you that backs up your “claim” that blacks kill 800-900 people a year in atlanta? i don’t believe that that many people have EVER been killed in atlanta in one calender year… that many people aren’t killed in new york, chicago or los angeles…

I know the incident you’re talking about. I was just being sarcastic. Don’t forget the incident last year after Bama lost a game and a father shot his son in a rage. Lots of domestic violence concerning the Bama fan base.

Ban the ajc and sonia murray. Here’s a question for ms. murrary. why do you continually post these blogs knowing the rednecks and ignorant blacks are going to come out. This is the only paper in the country that endorses it. This is why atlanta is so far behind. I think you get a kick out of the childish rants that go on. Why can i blog about kid rock?Did’nt he go to jail for fighting? Two rappers are having a free concert and we have to blog about it? I swear i hate this immature newspaper more and more everyday!

Didn’t some SEC fans get shot the other week by an opponent’s fan…how easily we can forget that…

I graduated from the University of Alabama and have vivid memories of white frat boys and sorority girls getting p** drunk during football games. Actually they would start drinking their cheap liquor on Thursday and stay drunk all weekend. It was nothing to see them fight at games, throw up, or pass out. My sorority had the highest GPA on campus and we girls wouldn’t be caught dead exhibiting that type of trashy behavior. Would I take the epic leap at labeling all whites as violent, uncouth drunks? Sure I would! Just kidding.

But seriously, we African Americans are judged by the worst of our race while whites get the luxury of individual judgment based on their own actions. This type of backwards thinking keeps the races divided and the Jennifers and Ricks of the world very ignorant.

The concert thing isn’t a racial issue. It’s an issue kind of like what ole jimbo jones is saying. It’s going to be after 11pm on a Saturday in a city already known for late night crime, with a ton of loaded people and a bunch of rappers. I’m sorry but when I see the way hip hop and rap people look and the lyrics, and the gun toting and the drugs and the attitude… I think problems also.

I won’t be there though. But I will look forward to some great stories Sunday morning.
