We already know that DFW is going to be blowing up this weekend as the NBA All Star party comes to town. It appears that all kinds of things are going including Chamillionaire shooting his latest ambitious video project. I’ll let you read the release and then tell me how you feel about it. Who else is shooting some video this weekend or making DFW the spot for their event?

This Thursday, the city of Dallas will begin welcoming the throngs of sports fans and celebrities rushing to partake of the many NBA All Star celebrations going on throughout the weekend. Amongst them will be Grammy-winning, Houston artist Chamillionaire, who has put together a Texas All Star line-up of his own; namely Paul Wall, Slim Thug and Dorrough, for a music video shoot to Chamillionaire’s brand new song, Main Event. The plan is to shoot each of the guys guerilla-style, as they walk red carpets and mix and mingle at the many A-list events they plan on attending; a style of shooting that award-winning video director, Dr. Teeth, is very comfortable with. The final video will also feature a grand finale performance scene featuring all of the artists to be shot at an undisclosed location.

“I thought I’d take this opportunity to remind the rest of the world that Texas is still doing it big when it comes to music.” Chamillionaire says of his ambitious endeavor. “Every artist on the song with me has independent hustle and strength in the streets. It’s an All Star song so what better place to shoot the video than All Star Weekend, right here in our own backyard.”

Whats good people its time for more new shit. This time it’s the homie BG and a feature from Magnolia Chop on the ‘Back to the Money’ official music video.

Hello all, this is my first article for TrillSouth. If you’re into MMA and boxing, then you’ll definitely want to keep up with me on my blog here.

The UFC made it’s way to Fairfax, Virginia tonight and was showcasing some up and coming MMA talent. For the preliminary cards we had, Nick Catone who defeated his opponent Jesse Forbes by spilt decision. Gerald Harris defeating John Salter by TKO in round three (love those knockouts!) Rafael dos Anjos took down Kyle Bradley by unanimous decision by the judges. Rory MacDonald gives Michael Guyamon the armbar and makes him tap at the end of the first round. Nik Lentz and Thiago Tavares duel it out with some pretty good punches, but the judges score it a draw, and the crowd boos, which at UFC events is no real surprise.  Jesse Lenox and Rick Story go for three rounds which ends in an unanimous for Story. And to wrap things up, Jay Silva and Chris Leben duke it out with Leben taking the unamious decision from all three judges.

As with all events, I try to pay attention to all bouts. Although the main card always is the more exciting showcase to me, personally. First, we had Brad Blackburn and Amir Sadollah, with Sadollah (being the favorite) taking the win 30-27 by all three judges. Next, Aaron Simpson and Tom Lawler go for three rounds, which ends in a spilt decision to Simpson. Finally, Efrain Escuerdo and Evan Dunham  take to the mat, ending in the third round with Dunham catching Escuerdo in a painful armbar, causing him to tap. I would’ve definitely tapped as well. Looks pretty painful!

Man Im sure you know that Chamillionaire ‘Venom’ has been pushed back more times than anything I can remember recently and it’s being pushed back again. It was scheduled for a February 2nd drop and now it’s been pushed back past the middle of March. But in this new video Cham has something to say about February 2nd and ‘Major Pain’ so you might want to listen.

Check it out people and long live the pimp! Good to see something positive being done by hip hop and in the name of a man who liked to put a message in the music.

PRESS RELEASE – November 24, 2009

There are many ways to keep a legacy alive, or to keep one’s name relevant in the entertainment industry after an unfortunate and untimely passing. As for Chad Butler aka ‘Pimp C’, his wife Chinara Butler is putting forth her efforts to do just that, Friday, December 4th, 2009.

UGQ, Inc., founded by Chinara Butler and her late husband, has united with CCM Foundation and S.E.A.C (Syphillis Elimation Advisory Committee), to bring you the Inaugural Chad ‘Pimp C’ Butler Hip Hop & Health/Wellness Fair in their hometown of Port Arthur, Texas, which will be held on Friday, December 4th, at 6pm-10pm at the Port Arthur Pavilion. This event will be held every year on December 4th, the unfortunate day we lost a musical Legend, who had many dreams in store for his community…so we start here.

The Chad Butler Hip Hop & Health/Wellness Fair was founded in remembrance of Pimp C to start raising awareness for our youth today, whom sometimes lack the resources or even the knowledge to realize the importance of regular physical exams, frequent HIV/STD testing, drug prevention and abuse. The Port Arthur Health Department will be in attendance to provide these services, along with free vaccinations, as they are dedicated in promoting a healthy community. There will be a small donation fee of $5 and can good drop at entry.

Port Arthur residents will also get to enjoy live entertainment from special celebrity guests (TBA) to keep this event celebratory and educational at the same time. We will also be holding a Hip Hop ‘MC’ Battle for contestants who take an HIV/STD test and winner will take home $1000!!

(The Texas Department of State Health Services’ data from 2005 revealed that Region 6, the region that includes Jefferson County, ranked number two out of the 11 Texas regions in confirmed cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis and #1 in AIDS cases. These numbers can be reduced dramatically by raising awareness and constantly educating the public about diseases that are easily preventable.)

We genuinely appreciate your support in advance and look forward to your participation in the Inaugural Chad ‘Pimp C’ Butler Hip Hop, Health & Wellness Fair.

It was just last week that Boosie dropped his latest release ‘Superbad’ into stores and it seems that people have responded to give him his first top 10 debut on the Billboard 200. Boosie came in at #7 this week scanning 49,000 units. Im sure thats going to be considered a success since he’s still in many ways a regional artist not very well known on the East or West coast but thats changing. It’s too bad he wont be out to capitalize on the top 10 debut as he’s soon going to be serving a 2 year jail sentence in Baton Rouge for his plea deal accepted this week.
