iKnowTANK and DJ Buttafingaz take a field trip...Little 5 Points ATL,GA

The rules are very simple when going on a road trip with me...
1)I don't mind driving
2)We always have fun
3)The more people the better
4) If we go to NY we always can stay at my grandmothers house, she has 9 bedrooms and only uses 2 of them.
5)Be prepared to for a last minute call that usually goes like this:

ME: Yo, you trying to go to ______________???
YOU: When?
ME: Now. I'm about to leave the crib now.You in or what?
YOU: When we coming back?
ME: Whenever, probably in 2 or 3 days
YOU: Nah. My money ain't right.
ME: What you need money for? We only going and coming right back?
YOU: Nah I'm cool.
ME: You a sucka...What you gonna do here? NOTHING
[five minutes later]
YOU: ok, ok, ok...I'M IN

That's pretty much how the conversation between me and Buttafingaz went this past Tuesday when we took a 22 hour none stop trip to Atlanta...our mission "DTP SHOWCASE and Shopping." We also had DJ Mongee with us to fill the quota of a "black guy, an arab, and a puerto rican wall into a bar..."If you ever wanna make that trip just let me know. In a matter of 12 hours visited 1 mall, 13 stores[wish,true religion,walters,rocheter big and tall,new era,sole,nike,louis vuitton,standard,stratousphere,sk8tique],ate at 2 restaurants [Gladys Knight Chicken and Waffles and STRAITS by Ludacris], drank 15 Jack and Cokes,took 4 meetings, and saw 6 artist perform.

Along the way we met some pretty interesting people, Heads of labels, executives,CEO,interns, and aspiring dreamers...but nothing could prepare us for this four man circus we came across in Little 5 Points...Meet "The Ohio Playa," "Dance Fever," "The Silent Salesman", and "SpitFIRE the folk-rapper"
ATL SHAWTY!!!
