So the Ozone Awards have come and gone. I was damn near in attendance but decided to pull out less than a week before the event. It seems like as usual in this industry there is an overwhelming amount of attention paid to beef, rumors, gossip and fights. It also seems that the Ozone Awards weren’t short on any of that this year and thats a same. However I cant help but wonder if it’s just over exaggerated or was it really that bad. On top of that why is there so much hate for Julia Beverly, is it because she’s white? Do you have an opinon because I see the stories and emails starting to mount on the hip hop sites. I even received a letter to my email this morning to be passed around sharing some of the outrage at Julia. I’ll post it later today and let you decide what you think of it.
I’ll tell you I’ve only met JB once and it wasnt at an event. She was friendly and she’s always been fast to get back to me in emails. I like what Ozone has done and I’ve been well aware of her for several years through another hip hop site that was central to Houston. I cant help but wonder if this isnt a little extra hate just at her being white and I know thats not hip hop. JB get at me if you’ve got something to say because at this moment Im feeling like Im on your side. It’s quite possible this event was bigger than even they were ready for and it just got out of hand because unlike Florida or some other state, Texas really is what southern hip hop is all about. We arent all about that snappin, popping and booty bouncing, we stay trill down here and you best keep it real when you’re down here!
