HotSpotATL – Hot 107.9 Atlanta's Home for the Hip-Hop Community

I’m sure lots of folks would agree that we have Denver Broncos QB, Tim Tebow to thank for the heightened awareness of spirituality in football. Well, add NY Giants Defensive Tackle, Chris Canty to the list of “believers.” His previous injuries had his status to play in the Super Bowl questionable but the DL insists he has been “healed.”

Justin Combs (Diddy’s first born) could’ve easily followed in his father’s footsteps, but he has decided to be his own man. And from the looks of it, Diddy is 100% supportive. I’ve always admired how active Diddy is with his kids. This time, the Hip Hop Mogul celebrated his son’s intent to play football at UCLA!

I love our First Lady, Michelle Obama. Not only is she gorgeous, attractive and a great compliment to our President. She also leads by example. Since President Obama was elected nearly 4 years ago, Mrs. Obama has been promoting her “healthy” movement in schools, communities and now, on the Ellen Show!

Check out the video of her “push up” challenge with Ellen here…

Does Tiny have a bun in the oven? If you saw the latest episode of “Tiny & Tiny: The Family Hustle” you would think so. Well, T.I. and Tiny stopped by 106 & Park to address the rumors and also shared how Don Cornelius, Creator of Soul Train (who died yesterday) impacted their lives. Check out the video!

As time passes, it’s easy to think you’ve “missed your moment” but this is far from the truth. As you grow older, you’ll come to understand that the only things you regret are the things you didn’t do. Don’t delay your happy life.

After the HUGE success of “Look At Me Now” (which is Grammy nominated this year), it is only right for Chris Brown to return the favor and jump on a track with Busta Rhymes. Check out the new video from Busta Rhymes feat. Breezy “Why Stop Now?”

Chris Brown has been nominated for 3 Grammy Awards this year. He’s been healing and it is evident that he has been able to rebound since the Rihanna assault at the Grammys 3 years ago. The BIG QUESTION folks want answered though is will Breezy perform?

Watermelon Ciroc? What’s next?

I’ve heard of people bootlegging clothing, music, and DVDs. Now it appears that Diddy’s Ciroc brand is a target. No worries though, Diddy assures that “watermelon” is NOT a flavor in the line up. Check out what he had to say to his millions of twitter followers.

Don’t waste your life doing something you don’t enjoy. If it doesn’t make you happy, its not worth it.

By now we should know the significance of numbers in the Carter Household. Beyonce and Jay-Z both born on the “4th,” their anniversary on the 4th, and lets not forget Baby Blue’s middle name is “IVY” (“IV” roman numerals for the number”4.”)

Well according to Billboard, here’s another number for Jay and Bey to celebrate!

Bow Wow is all up in the news this month. First, he went into detail about the women he’s smashed. Then, we hear about a $126,000 tag on back taxes he owes. Now, Bow Wow is speaking out about why he chose NOT to appear in the movie, Red Tails.

It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.  ~Anon

Successful people don’t have to tell you what they are doing because there is already EVIDENCE of it through their actions. Don’t talk about it, be about it…

If you’re the type that likes a “girl fight,” you’re gonna have to hold your breath.
Last week, a statement alleged to be made by Lil’ Kim stated that the Queen Bee had information that would “Destroy Nicki Minaj’s Credibility & Career.” Well, it turns out that it was all a hoax.

Here’s a new email circulating to refute the claims

If you have no will to change it, you have no right to criticize it. ~Author Unknown

Sometimes we’re so quick to look down on someone that we become judgmental when we should be helpful. It is better to correct than to criticize.
