Video: DTP’s Shawnna Upstages Luda at The Highline Ballroom

[EDITED: Nov. 26, 2008 3:42 PM to correct spelling of Shawnna’s name (again)]

This video might not be work safe.

We interrupt our pre-Thanksgiving Day posts to bring you this important post for the fellas:

Remember when Ludacris dumped all of his artists awhile back? Well, he kept Shawnna, the First Lady of DTP — and we can see why.

Shawnna and her ample assets upstaged and rang rings around her boss Luda during his gig at the Highline Ballroom in NYC last night. Brown Sugar got it going on! Check out the seductive action at the 5:31 mark.

Peep more clips from Luda’s show featuring T-Pain at the Highline Ballroom courtesy of loyal reader Jeorgina! I agree with Jeorgina, T-Pain should never try to sing without his vocoder.

“i wanna lick lick you from your head to your toes……” my song.

loves me some rayshawna. i am well rounded in my musical taste so i love her pops buddy guy too. i was sooo disappointed she never got her shine. she was fuego. another person i was mad never got her’s was rah digga. they held it down for they peeps imo. both wrote their own lyrics too i think.

who knew a secretary knew music like that?
kwallace577

yeah herm she is chi town so i knew you wld peep the spelling.
mizzdallas

Luda can so get it, I wonder if shawna and luda had an personal relations b/cuz if she did Im not mad at her.
mizzdallas

@kwall

I love me some Rah Digga & Jean Grae she is so under-rated.
kwallace577

me neither @mizzdallas. even tho he a shortie. he cld climb my ladder..if i was still single.
keely107

LMAO!!!!!!!! Not upstaged him! I liked this chick, maybe it was her “who cares what ya’ll think” attitude I dunno, but yeah she was all the way live!
bloggergirlz

spellcheck! shawna is cool a$$ hell…she’s back w/ dtp?! lemme look this up since sandra don’t always do diligent research…
bloggergirlz

fyi sandra…although i thought know if she’s “back” w/ dtp…i do know he did’t “keep her”…they parted ways “amicably” last year…imma about to call one of my “sources” lol…
http://myspace.com/iyonah iyonah

lol @ bloggergirlz ….
http://myspace.com/erikamagaly Hermosa

Shawna was an opening act for T.I. when they stopped in the Chi. . .That women has a body. . .Hips and thighs and a$$ and boobbies galore, with a flat belly. I envy her!
teecee

the only reason why he kept her is cause she was doin him…. and she aint cute. … hint if u shaking yo ass is should shake and home boy throwing her money on the stage was sad….
i rather see video vixen Vanessa Wilson…claude ham murcey… vanessawilson com has her pic. t pain was using his recorder he just cant sing.
iscream

Did you call her Brown Suga?

I hope she does come back (minus the kool aid hair) we need a female rapper to rep & not Trina (even though I love her first album)
bloggergirlz

@teecee: he didn’t “keep” her as you put it so eloquently…she actually has talent and has been on the scene for a long time…

some of yall (well @ least hermosa), might remember her from being in the group “infamous syndicate”…regardless of how she looks, she has skills and like hermosa said a nice body (boobs ain’t that big though lol)…i seen her about a month or so ago at this club called transit…and she loves hella thuggish guys…if he and luda smashed they must’ve had some down time that day…

on the flipside, sandra is def feeling her
purepisces

Actually….it’s Shawnna!!! LOL!!

She gets it in, don’t she?!
bloggergirlz

@pure: i was typing so fast i still missed the 2nd n lol…
keely107

Aight ya’ll they letting us go home, yall be safe and have a happy Thanksgiving and most of all grab ya folks, hug em’, and be thankful.
teecee

@blogger girl,
she said they werent in a relationship, they was just sleeping together back when she had her cd out. the radio personalities killed her career after she said that because they made comments about being luda’s booty call.
http://myspace.com/erikamagaly Hermosa

Bye Keely, stuff your belly!
purepisces

LOL @ blogger

She did a guest spot on Luda’s Gangsta Grillz mixtape, saying people keep asking if she’s back with DTP…but then she never answers the question!!! Then on Theatre of the Mind (hot CD by the way) it says that Luda and Shawnna have a CD coming soon called Battle of the Sexes.

I hope they do it!!

And I just can’t see Luda gettin with Shawnna…she’s just too hood and nasty…and not cute…BUT who knows…
bloggergirlz

@teecee: oh my…i obviously missed the memo lol…i know a few people she f’ed w/ (rappers, reg folk, etc.), but i won’t put her business out there…

actually she killed her own career making a move like that…she has struggled throughout her career, but she had a bonified hit w/ “getting some head” or whatever the title was (i can hear the music in my head)…that’s still a jam…another thing, she started letting “hustle period” (aka as kanye’s ex-mgmt) manage her…i’m still trying to figure out if that benefitted her in any way…i doubt it though…
MUNCHOSGIRL

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED SHAWNNA, SHE CAN DO NO WRONG IN MY EYES.

IYONAH, I HAVE A LIL PRESENT FOR YOU.

That’s what I thought. I even Googled Shana + DTP and still go that wrong spelling. Thanks!
purepisces

@ blogger

Still wondering why she would leave DTP when she was riding a hit like that. Everybody here in the A was like…WTH??

Oh, and for my ATL folk if you ain’t heard, I heard that V103 midday personality Porsche Foxx got let go today…no word on the replacement yet…
CaramelDrop

I will give it to Shawnna – she goes fed buuuuuutttttt……. AINT NOW FEMALE IN THE RAP GAME (WITH A GUTTA MOUTH) FUKKIN W/THE NEW YORK GIRL NICKI MINAJ…SHE’S A NASTY MOUTH HEIFFA TOO BUT THE GIRL IS SICK LYRICALLY!

AUNTIE WHAT CAN YOU FIND OUT ABOUT NICKI MINAJ
purepisces

And it’s SHAWNNA Sandra!!! =)
bloggergirlz

@pure: damn, that’ll be cool…maybe that’ll give her the boost she needs…at one point her, remy and another female rapper (my mind is drawing a blank), were going to create a group…that fell through though…even if she’s not w/ dtp they’ll still get paid off of anything she releases…i like that title and i hope it comes out…there are some tired a$$ female rappers out here…i couldn’t see her and luda doing the ‘it” either…she is VERY hood…like i said b4 it most of been a day (or days) lmao…
ReadTheBlog

I alwasy liked Shawnna, and I wondered what happened to her. She put it down on the ‘P-Poppin’ song. You guys know she’s got 3 kids and one is special needs. I can’t see the video, but I’ve never known her as a brick house – she was always a BONY TONI…
bloggergirlz

@readtheblog: she has two kids and one if them is special needs…
http://www.myspace.com/lorettadivine DivineBrown

I’ve always liked her! From Jump…when she did the “What’s yo fantasy” remix and straight KILT the other broads!

She is ill!

And her body is bangin! I’ve seen ugly girls with fine guys, and this is why.

*******************************************************

LOL! I did Google Shana+DTP because the spelling didn’t seem correct. Plus, Jeorgina spelled it that way in her email.
shhhh

She’s the best female rapper I have ever heard. She has good flow that’s consistent. The chick can actually rap and not just saying crap that rhymes. I hope we hear more from her.

I really doubt that. The strippers that I know who had him in their mouths are all LSLH. Plus his baby mama is LSLH too.
bloggergirlz

@caramel: i heard some of nicki’s songs…she ain’t really on no one’s radar though…being from NY is probably a blessing and a curse because of foxy and kim…her people tried to get her a gig in chgo, but didn’t NO ONE know who the f’ck she was…she needs some radio hits (if that’s possible for her)…
http://www.myspace.com/lorettadivine DivineBrown

Carmeldrop…I was reading that AND I THOUGHT YOU WAS ABOUT TO SAY NIKKY II STATES FROM MISS RAP SUPREME!

LMAO..
bloggergirlz

@sandra: LOL #32…
teecee

when u aint from the lood like chris, u get hood credibility by getting you some hood peeps, and i guess she was it. cause she is all the way hood. lmao when peeps thing you slept your way to a record contract the djays turn on you because 95% of radio dj want to be artist.

Dag word gets around. I heard that this morning, but I didn’t post out of respect to Porsche. We spoke this morning and she said she wasn’t going anywhere. She may have meant she wasn’t leaving Altanta. Oh well, since the word is already out…
iscream

@ carameldrop is Niki the girl from the VH1 reality show with YoYo and MC Search. The one who didn’t win?
bloggergirlz

@teecee: one of the problems w/ shawnna is not having strong radio hits…she had a lot of good collabos, but fell short on her own…i was so excited when “getting some head” came out…
iscream

Never mind that girl was Nikki two states.

@ Sandra

I know that’s your girl, but come on now!! You know news travels fast in the A!! Might as well get you a post on and beat everybody else!! =) LOL!

Hey gurlie!! I heard it was budget cuts…but you never know with her…that…heffa…was a…character.

Out of respect for Sandra that’s the best, AND THE NICEST, I can do. LOL!!
http://www.myspace.com/lorettadivine DivineBrown

while we on this hair

today…I saw someone in here with a “kit” in his head! I died when my country friend said “Texturizer”

That shiet just don’t look right! AT ALL!
http://myspace.com/erikamagaly Hermosa

ooooohhhhhhh. . .thank you for the edumacation.
purepisces

Lol @ Divine

It’s been a minute since I’ve seen a dude with one of those…texturizer…that’s what I do to my hair…use a regular perm though, not one of those kits…
http://www.myspace.com/lorettadivine DivineBrown

pisces…a perm is so necessary!

A kit…that is not!
purepisces

LOL @ Divine

I guess those kits will do the job if you have super short hair. Anything past an inch will be too much.

sandra, if you’re still in edit mode (and since you like all of shawnna’s thickness :)), can you add the “n” to her name?! you must’ve overlooked purepisces message…feel free to cut and paste me message…i even adjusted it since i’m in cst…;)

[EDITED: Nov. 26, 2008 2:41 PM to correct spelling of Shawnna’s name]
ChokLitFactory

^^^^^ (#33)DANG Sandy!! You paint quite the picture lol!
I’ve always like Shawna as well, she has MAD skills, and everytime I see her live, she KILLS it! She just ain’t consistent though unfortunately. But an album with her and Luda is def a good look.
And I don’t know much about Luda, but it LOOKS like they had something…the way he always be lookin at her! lol
ELove

Shawnna IS str8 Wicked on the MIC !!! (Real Talk)
purepisces

@Elove

She looks wicked too. LOL!! Unfortunately, in this business, that’s probably one of the main things holding her back.

We do need some women to step up though…all we got is Trina…nobody else is releasing anything…Eve is supposed to be in the studio….but…
purepisces

And Diamond from Crime Mob don’t count!! LOL!!!
http://myspace.com/iyonah iyonah

@ munchos thanks for the clip -it just made me be able to get through the rest of today.

I heart Bey this is TRUE!

I can’t see this VIDEOS … but I have always liked Luda. Totally not into the two singles, but will give his album a listen.
SMALONE

if she had some one really backing her up she would be good..every since eve left the rap game..there’s been no one since! she ‘s my favorite..
lisa

That’s real confidence right there.

Shawna v. Nicki Minaj

My money would be on Shawna.
dcwife1622

Funny you posted this. My nephew recorded a song with Shawnna and her brother Big Jeff last month called This Ain’t What You Want. She’s trying to get her career revived. She has her own label called Money Over Everything. Hopefully after this concert she can get some shine….. (Shit and maybe my nephew can get on, because he’s been trying to blow up since he was 14).She’s been through a lot. I don’t know her personally but I think she has a better flow than most of the female rappers. Maybe I’m biased because she’s from the Chi. I have her video Shake Dat Sh1t on my Iphone.
CaramelDrop

sorry lisa – Nicki would eat her up and spit her and that “jangalang” out

Hey DivaBrown – How are you

@ icescream – nah, she’s underground and supposedly signed to Lil Waynes label.

@ bloggergirlz – I doubt if she gets radio play due to the content of her music…to compare her to kim is bout right she’s got that raunch raw thing going like kim but the b!tches flo is impecable.

Nicki Minaj is slowly but surely creepin to the scene…the bootleg man is always out of her mixtapes…once the rats of the world get a hold of her “I can cook crack and a mean beef stew” steez she’s going to blow up (lol)
MRSJONESK

OMG!! V-103 let Porsche Fox go? I wonder if they will now give Ryan the midday spot. Ryan really need to be on the Morning show with Wanda Smith and Ms. Siphia. I love when he fills in for Frank. Ryan is the best DJ in my opinion. Frank is cool sometimes.
MRSJONESK

Ms. Sophia. Sorry typo.

Shawnna is AWESOME.

Shawnna is incredibly AWESOME.
WeezysBaby

I heart her dress…
pointhimout

god he’s a horrible rapper. can someone reissue the memo to ludacris that YELLING ON THE MIC aint rapping? geesh.

he does that on every song. and elle on v103 tried to give him props for his great acting and rapping? bytch, wtf??? needless to say i switched stations immediately.

he was horrible in crash, sucked in hustle and flow, and that race car movie is so forgettable, i can’t remember the name of it….but i’m sure he was consistent with his acting in this one too.
Sharonda

^LOL

Tell them how you really feel!!!Sounds a little personal though, but I won’t.Some people think he’s good, some don’t.It’s just like how Sandra doesn’t like well you know, but y’ll get it!!!LOL.
http://myspace.com/thegameoncw Bird

Well damn, she sure was wearing the hell out of that dress. She turned me on and I ain’t even gay. And to think white folks think a booty like that is fat and disgusting. I like her flow too. I look forward to her project with Luda.
http://notenoughrealmen.blogspot.com 2thick4u

Love me some Shawnna.

Glad that Luda put her back on the label. She is a hot emcee!!!

She is a beast in that dress.

Can’t wait to hear her rip Luda ass on the mic. They make a nice duo!!!
Hottie76

He Luda does not give a dam about LSLH Gabrielle Union is far from LSLH hair. His baby mother does not have long hair maybe a long weave!!!!Shawnna was the best thing that happened to DTP they did not promote her properly and that is one of the main reasons she left. I do not think she is back with them i just think her and Luda will do the sexes of the battle cd…That chick he has signed now LeeLee she needs start all over again!!!!
