Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
Appreciate the support brehs
Opinions aint aint work. We all men, he can lead his family how he wants, nobody is asking for unity.
I'm trying to work with other men who want to build, not be commentary.
Breh I lived in Adams Park as recently as fall of 2012.
@ 1995. Funny thing is that I'm in and support black businesses and black churches in the same community that I been at since I moved back to Cascade. Yea I don't currently live there but it's still home and I'm there a couple days out the wkNothing about anything you've said or seem to stand for indicates that you want to build with people. You draw imaginary lines in the sand, pit people against each other and in your own words "don't want unity".
I'm disappointed that as black men from Atlanta we can't build without it being some bullshyt because of where somebody lives in and around Atlanta

LOL at 2 br inside 285 for $1600. nikka gonna be in the projects. $1600 is 1 bedroom status these days. Unless he look at something like Vinings and get lucky
Nah you can find a 2 BR in Vinings for that...shyt we were at Elysian at Vinings off Cumberland Pkwy for $1500 as recently as last yr. @Steel i would recommend Smyrna/Vinings between S Atlanta & S Cobb off 285. Lots of town homes/apts and you've got everything you would want right next to you

Yall and these zip code wars
I agree this shyt is dumb. Negroes getting territorial over petty shyt, I want to us to come together to get some shyt done in our community, if I made the decision to move out of the SWATS to become a homeowner that's my choice, that doesn't mean I shouldn't concern myself with the city anymore, the fukk

Ryan Cameron leaves V-103, joining branding company Rakanter

Posted Friday, January 26, 2018 by RODNEY HO/rho@ajc.com on his AJC Radio & TV Talk blog
Ryan Cameron, one of the most indelible hometown radio personalities in Atlanta history, is leaving the business to become a partner at a new Atlanta-based branding firm called Rakanter.
He made the surprise announcement this morning on V-103, leaving the still coveted morning slot after five years.
“I have done everything I can in this field,” said Cameron, who joined V-103 in 1991 and has worked there a collective 18 years over two separate stints. “It’s time for another chapter in my life.”
RELATED: Who will replace Cameron?
Rakanter founder Peter Sorckoff was former creative content officer for the Atlanta Hawks, where Cameron has been the long-time game announcer. Sorckoff approached Cameron with this opportunity last year, a chance for the Atlanta native to go in a different career direction, a direction that will enable him to work with major brands such as AT&T, Coca Cola, the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Jets and the Australian rugby team.
With his contract up at the end of the month, the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame inductee decided to move on. He said his final day will be Friday, February 2.
“What I need to do is better myself,” Cameron said. “I’ve been presented an opportunity to do something a lot of people of color aren’t able to do. That is being brought in on the ground level of a very successful business as a partner. Not an employee but a partner.”
Ultimately, he said on air, “I have yacht dreams. So I want you to have yacht dreams.”
He thanked his employer: ” My tenure here at V-103 has been the most fulfilling thing I could ever have done but I have to feel there’s something else that I can do.”
Cameron, 52, was one of the first jocks in town to play rap at V-103 in the early ’90s. He introduced TLC to Atlanta. In 1996, he took over the morning slot at Atlanta’s first rap station, Hot 97.5 (now Hot 107.9), where he nurtured interns such as rapper Ludacris and MTV VJ LaLa.
He spent eight years there, eventually challenging and sometimes beating V-103’s Frank Ski for supremacy among younger listeners. In 2005, he returned to V-103 as an afternoon host.
When Ski left at the end of 2012, Cameron took over the morning show, eventually joined by Ski’s former partner Wanda Smith.
“I’m so proud of you,” Smith said. “I thank you for the years we’ve been friends. We’ve been cool since day one. Congratulations to you.”
Cameron’s voice will not disappear immediately from the airwaves. He plans to continue to do radio ad endorsements. And he plans to continue to do Hawks announcing work at Philips Arena, which is really a labor of love.
V-103 has not announced an immediate replacement for Cameron in the mornings.
Cameron runs the Ryan Cameron Foundation Leadership Academy to mentor teens. And one of his most popular events over the years was his annual father-daughter dance.

The only one insecure here is you. I'm here to build with Atlanta brehs from the city trying to do better in the community, no matter where in Atlanta they are, even the brehs who now call Atlanta home & are originally from somewhere else. If you could get ever get off of the divisive bullshyt, maybe you too could be apart of building a better COA that we can all be proud of
How am I insecure when nobody is even discussing you yet you always find some way to turn the convo about yourself?
Quit derailing the damn thread.
Brehs giving speechs on where they we to church easter 1993 when all breh asked was someone to recommend him somewhere in town to live.
