ATLWeek and No Arrested Development?

Hear that sista wailing on this song? Yep that's me singing back in the day! Talk about a wonderful time that was. I was on tour, young mommy, Timeka was my only child and she toured with us until my Dad came and got her and took her back to Arkansas with him. She was still in diapers back then. wow only seems like yesterday that we were running round creating new experiences which I am very, very grateful for.

Mamma's Always On Stage - Arrested Development circa 1991



I am posting this for one reason cause MTV did a whole week called ATLWeek and not once did they feature a video from Arrested Development! Heeeey were they not part of the blossoming entertainment industry in Atlanta some years ago?
Did they not offer up some lyrics and new way of presenting music and hip hop? Well then why didn't I see my brother Speech, Taree or Eshe, Headliner, or Rasa on there? What about Baba Oje?
This was and IS a form of hip hop/life music that you cannot find in hip hop today and I wanted to show my people love.
They talked about social issues, politics, race, ....they talked about life...hence LIFE MUSIC.
So yes ok this is shameless promotion on my part but this is my blog I will say what I want to tee hee.
I have officially declared this blog the Arrested Development Follow Me Now blog.
Yeah yeah ok they have their own sites and all of that but I have to stand up for them and say hey "I recognize what you brought to the ATL I honor that and I respect the work that you put down and continue to put down years later still living and working in the surrounding areas doing your thing!"
Now what does that mean Follow Me Now? Well that means this, I will utter, blog, showcase new and old videos and talk to members when they are not busy and post them here to my blog. How bout that?
It'll be fun.
I will post the Arrested Development World Tour Schedule here too so if they are in your area go check em out.
Live band, great lyrics and fun time to be had by all.
MTV Jams shame on you for not showing at least ONE of their videos! ...........I shake my finger at you for not showing ANYTHING and I watched all week and weekend.
Thats ok Speech you still got folks out there looking out.

Yes including me.

Til next time

Mamma (always on stage)
