Yesterday I received an email blast with a link to an article in Julia Beverly’s Hip Hop rag Ozone magazine accusing local philanthropist and industry veteran Debra Antney of using Gucci Mane’s name to scam promoters out of $100K.
I know Debra Antney personally and she has done nothing but great things for the underprivileged children in our community. For years she has worked tirelessly on the children’s behalf by organizing charity events without seeking press coverage or kudos for her efforts.
As an artist manager and CEO of Gucci’s So Icey Records, Antney helps guide the careers of Gucci Mane, Nicki Minaj and OJ Da Juiceman.
On the other hand, Julia Beverly’s name has come up numerous times over the years attached to one scam after another. If you’re not familiar with Julia Beverly, click HERE and HERE.
Julia Beverly has a lot of nerve casting dispersions or throwing shade on anyone’s business dealings as dirty as she is. Julia comes off as a broke, racist, bitter little hag whose magazine empire is crumbling down around her. So now she’s lashing out at the ones she feels are responsible for her demise.
Julia Beverly has for years used the Hip Hop community for her own financial gains and has been accused of ripping off many up and coming artists by charging them under the table for exposure in her wack magazine that nobody reads. Her reputation is so tarnished that she was forced to cancel her Hip Hop conference this year because no one will attend.
After the break is a letter from publisher and blogger Isis Wisdom of Word On The Streets, who clears up any rumors or innuendos of her involvement in Julia Beverly’s smear campaign against established industry veterans Debra Antney and Johnnie Cabbell.
DJ XPLOSIVE AND ISISWISDOM DOES NOT CO-SIGN NO DAMN JULIA BEVERLY
The only reason why I’m taking the time out to address this foolishness is because I think people just forgot how to think. Sorry Julie, nice try on the ning network but due to me beefing with you for at least 6 years everybody that has a sound right mind knows that I would never cosign anything that you write. You are just as dumb as the people believing in your bullshit. I guess like attracts like.
For the record, if you have received an email blast from a website called element9.ning.com from me or DJ Xplosive, it is not us. We never created the network nor did we cosign Julie and her simple tired ass non fact based lack of proof ass article about Gucci Mane’s management. I spoke to a few people whose names were mentioned in her article and under no circumstance did they wish to be brought into her mess. Hence phone calls of explaining her disposition. I got 4 words about the article she sent out. Show me the facts. Where are the contracts? Where is the paperwork of the so called lawsuits? What courts are they filed in? Julie is annoying and working way too hard to clear her name. Your credibiity is shot sweet heart and the harder you work the guiltier you look.
This is another classic case of a sad individual who needs as much co-signing as possible to give her any credibility. She just has not figured out that the negativity that spews from her being, is what
puts her at odds with so many people. I ain’t never met a person in my life that has had the amount of beef that she has had in the short period of time that she has had her infamous photo album. Then you have blind industry people cosigning her. You need to be more careful about who and what you co-sign and use that brain of yours and start critically thinking. Oops I forgot maybe it’s true that maybe people in hip-hop are just too dumbed down and too stupid to see what is going on.
The girl sent out the blast from her email acct, then ozone email acct, and then the ning network as well as Wendy Day all within 5 to 10 minutes of each other. Are you serious? Hello? Do you have a brain? Do you use it? You don’t find that kind of odd that I would cosign an article on a site with no traffic and no members??? SMDH! No facts just a bunch of quotes and accusations??? Please, the art of real journalism died in hip-hop a long time ago. It is ever so prevalent now more then ever, and people are getting dumber by the day and she capitalizes off of your lack of intelligence to get by. It certainly says a lot about how she thinks about the hip-hop community doesn’t it?
Remember y’all did this. You supported her and now look at the buffoonery.
Another thing: please never try to play me like I’m afraid to be held accountable to my words. I think anybody with any common sense knows that if I have something to say I’m going to tell you how I feel and then put you on blast. So please don’t approach me on no dumb high school shit. Leave that to the kids (Julia). My websites are isiswisdom.com that has total membership of at least 2600 members which is a forum on the ning network for at least 2 years.
Wordonthestreetsmag.com is my magazine website. If you don’t see nothing posted on those two sites then don’t hit me with the bullshit. If I’m going to break a story it would be a site with some damn traffic and members and it would be completely fact base with proof, not no damn quotes from people without signed contracts. DJ Xplosive from element9hiphop.com did not partake in any ning network. He don’t even deal with ning. If you see his identity on any networks don’t believe the hype. If you see my identity on any ning network it will be mixxbosses.com and Core DJs and I have been on those sites for a while. Check the dates please.
Ask yourself this: how is it the two credible writers that blasted her ass a month ago would now all of a sudden co-sign her? HAAAAAAAA, Haaaaaaa haaaaaa NOW THAT IS SOME FUNNY SHIT! BUT THE JOKE IS ON YALL!
Now I’m about to be on clown time so you guys stay tuned because the month of December is going to be one interesting month Chow!

@Anna & KrysiJ
I agree I was waiting for someone else to read and give their view because I couldn’t bring myself to read this long letter……about people we never heard about…

SMH @ Sandra.
@krysi-
@Sandra- I know Debra Antney personally and she has done nothing but great things for the underprivileged children in our community…… ===================================================
You sound like your campaigning for her or something. You were so passionate.

WOW!! Who else has admitted that? BRAVO Isis!!! BRAVO!!!Well said and oh so sad.
Did it die the day lyrics like: “Superman that HOE” became acceptable?
How do you apply real journalism to the on slot of aimless erythematic nursery rhyms and chants? Used to brainwash our children into thinking “Their lip-gloss is Poppin”, They’re Halle Berry or that “They’re a Jerk” and it’s ok as long as they got “CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP?” WTF!! was that about by the way.
(BTW: Why is that chick a Halle REPRESENTATIVE in that Video…I digress)
How do you apply real journalism when there is a flood of EBONICS and poor grammar usage is glorified?
Someone please provide an intelligent answer as to why HIPHOP has been DUMBED down.
KRS1! Public Enemy! someone help!
SMH at POSTS 1 thru 4: This may very well be symptons of why most of us believe HIP HOP is dumbed down.

You know what…this is why pointless azz conversations get started back in forth between people who don’t know shyt about each other. So I’ll say this….its a blog, stop taking it so seriously. I don’t have to use proper english on a BLOG for your intellectual approval Mrs. Ggouch…I had no idea we were in English class. Journalism is a profession not a pass time, I don’t consider a blog my definition of college English class.
I’ve heard Julie Bevelry’s name numerous times over the years for being caught up in all kinds of sheisty bull-ish. However, I always thought she was a sistah. But either way she needs to watch her mouth and her actions, because it seems her name stays in a scandal.
I’m not even going to waste my time reading the letter.
HARPO WHO DESE PEOPLE?!?!?!
Who gives a fuck no one reads that hoodrat magazine and no one cares about these irrelevant hoodrats.
ahh shannon u beat me lol
I don’t know them either but by the Julie picture…how did that tragic chick get into hip hop and sorry Ms Isis, just reading this little piece and giving her an angry pass, I can’t believe she is a writer…moving on.
@tori-v
that is how i feel some days
I agree with krysi J just because i don’t wanna read this doesn’t mean anything… heck some days i’m just not into reading this ish…
@ her shirt “Hustle or Die” really i cant stop laughing…
@8
Let me add please let sandra respond to her loyal readers tweets instead of celebrity hoodrats who use her for promo but bad mouth her behind her back
@ Krysi:
Dearest Heart, my comment was not a hit on your English or grammar usage. You completely misread or FAILED to read, my comment.
The SMH is due to your disinterest and lackadaisical attitude towards the information in the post dear heart.
POSTs and COMMENTS are all subject to review when blogging. Nothing more, nothing less.
Therefore, it is your utmost prerogative to be disinterested, just as it’s my prerogative to voice an opinion about it “as it pertains to THIS POST”…
Am I wrong for not giving a day’um ?
@ Krysi J:
Ok this is very off topic…I agree, I never understood why people feel the need to take grammar and proper english so seriously on a blog???
I find it funny that people make another post just to correct spelling. I guess if they dont, somebody is going to come for them???? I dont know. Being an English major, its funny that someone corrects the spelling of word,but their passage is so grammactically wrong, the spelling of that word is the least of your worries…lol lol. Just have fun folks…

yea…what ever makes you feel better, that is your perogative. Thanks for the clarification
Can you someone please sum this post up for me, I don’t get it
@ ggouch:
I see your point as well. While doing my student teaching, ive noticed its hard to teach english to students who use ebonics/slang heavily. Its almost like its part of their vocab, and they see nothing wrong with it. Parents please encourage your child to use correct english. If a student cant speak well, he or she will do bad in reading and writing in most cases.
@b-boy
I am one of those folks who correct their spelling……and I am sure my sentences are not grammatically correct…..but I correct my spelling because I want too……..and because some words have a different way of spelling but pronounced the same way and have different meanings…….but hey that’s just why i do it……

exactly….most people on here make errors…punctual mostly, some grammatical, but most of them are typos…like really, does it matter. Especially if you know how to use the language and write it when its necessary. Do we ever get a break from all that SHAT!…I thought a blog would at least cut us ah lil slack.

no one with common sense would ever encourage their children to use ebonic/slang as their everyday language. Look up and read over the letter sent above, you mean to tell me there is nothing to be corrected?? No one feels the need to use proper english on a blog at all times…we aren’t writing essays, we’re just having fun. What do our kids have to do with fukking Sandra Rose? Yall need to cut that bullshyt out.

Let me be the first to say hip-hop today is in a sad state of affairs. The dollar being almighty is the culprit. Back in the day artists did it for the love of it there could be no other reason the ability to make millions just wasn’t there. Those days are over. The corporate takeover and payola control radio with the artists they have decided to spend money on. Thats all you hear. I think with the internet being what it is anybody has the ability to put out music the problem is finding it. Also I believe lighthearted rap has its place too. I thought chicken noodle soup was cute(at first). I liked the video just kids dancing FULLY CLOHTED and age appropriate. Everything doesn’t have to be and hasn’t always been serious.
Remember Picking Boogers?
Wiggy, Thank you for understanding my comment regarding the post: That focused on Iris’s statement about True Journalism virtues being unreflective within HIPHOP publications.
My second comment was based upon comments:
1.so in the FUKK Wut???!!!, I don’t know deez MFs!
2.Look at all that reading for someone we don’t know.
3.agree I was waiting for someone else to read and give their view because I couldn’t bring myself to read this long letter……about people we never heard about…
4.thats what pissed me the hAIL ofF! We don’t give ah DAYum!
I’m mad I even wasted 2 minutes reading that bullshyt
_______________________________
To me, these comments support my statement of a relaxed journalism standard within hip-hop publications.. They don’t have to have a standard based on the above comments.
This was not about spell check, nor about grammar usage. But the perceived defensiveness of Ms. Krisy is reflective of a young community that has instant-ness at their fingertips. (IMO)
Isis’s name doesn’t jump out at them (young people in general) on their iPods. She is not sung about in the latest rap. No celebrities are emulating her style. Therefore to the young ones, her views are irrelevant and not worthy to be explored further.
@ggouch. I am 42 and hip hop “just aint my thing”. That’s it plain and simple. I would have read the article had it been someone I know or music I know. I love to read. Sandra does not even write a log post like this for a “Medical Minute”.
I don’t know about that one. Is it because she is white that all black people are teaming up??? My grammar especially when I type on a blog because I really don’t take the time to reread my sh!t, for what! I am just commenting but if I claim to be a journalist maybe I would pay attention to my grammar. but I am not
I heard that call and it sounding a bunch of ranting and racist comments made by black folk towards whites.
I was following Julia on twitter and she was so annoying and ignorant sounding I had to stop.
Julie needs to stop…looking like Punky Brewster’s a**…lmfao..smdh!!:lolol:
And this post was bumped up for WHAT reason, may I ask Sandra?
Well, I do not like the fucking cunt!!!!!!!! I delt with her on several occasions!!! She is wack and her magazine is wack. She tells everyone that she hate publicist!!!!! Almost every publicist in the music business hate her. She need to rott in hell!!!!!
@ 41

didn’t read it yesterday & won’t today!
