Looks like the HipHopSodaShop is having a celebrity packed opening in Tampa, Florida today.
Hip hop celebs include Busta Rhymes, Cassidy, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Aqueelah McCummings, JT Money and Pretty Ricky. The event will include a performance by Doug E. Fresh with Andre Harrell playing host.
The press release includes this ambiguous line:
"Microsoft Joins Launch As Official HipHopSodaShop Supporter"
Event sponsor with onsite advertising perhaps? Microsoft is doing something but it’s unclear what.
In any case, best of luck with the opening!
I’ve never heard such a mix-matched lineup of current stars and washed up wankstas.
They said everybody you could get so we got ‘em everybody we could get!
The Dipset connection’s been there for over a year and I think Jim Jones is involved more directly somehow. I don’t know how any of the others are connected though Doug E. Fresh seems to be doing a lot of appearances at promotional events that want to reference hip hop heritage.
