BGR’s one-year anniversary pics!

We had a great event tonight! Diddy showed up to support BGR and check out the AT&T Tilt, Michael Strahan got it poppin’ in the VIP, Fabolous rocked the stage, DJ Clue released a "Desert Storm" on the turntables, and Just Blaze provided nothing less than musical perfection for the crowd. We’re forgetting people, but thanks to everyone that came out and partied with us! Super big shout out to AT&T for believing in us enough to sponsor our event and partake in the festivities, and also a big thanks to TeleNav (without them, we wouldn’t have found the venue). More updates later, but for now we’ve put together some quick pics in the gallery!

@ Mike
Sport and Music Celebs have more to do with At&T than anything. It’s all about brand visability and getting a Tilt in people’s hands who are visable to a lot of people (ie. Puff Daddy with a Tilt in his next video). BGR getting shout outs helps BGR cred also.
Altho I wasn’t one of the 25 picked from here, I know a couple folks in NY so I was chillin in VIP with everyone. It was a cool event. Good job BGR.

My question is which one is BG? I only know a few of those guys. You would believe that someone snap a photo of the man, since it is his event. Can some point him out for me.

@Tee Jay: He is obviously infamous so why would he show his face. I got to meet him great guy and it was a great party. I would like to run into him again maybe next time we can chat more. Also I got to meet Blaze and his brother DJ Poun’, also great guys. The sad part is that I, I don’t know about anyone else, didn’t get a chance to walk away with a “goody bag”. But hey at least I got to go. Thanks again BG and great meeting you.

The goody bag from what I can assume included a ATT Tilt and a few other things but the main thing was the Tilt. Bg could correct me if I am wrong.

VIP: Very Important Person. Important to whom? Not me. The voice of reason lacks objectivity.Standing on ceremony and putting on airs to project a cool image? What was the name of the VIP again, Snoot Snooty Dog?. See, it’s already forgotten. 15 minutes are up. Bet you’ll be holding on to your delusional brush with greatness for a while though.

15 minutes is all it takes. Puff Daddy literally walked in, took a few pics, grabbed 5 or 6 “goodie bags” and walked out the back entrance. Corporations like at&t love this. We are talking about them right now, which is their goal, and why they forked over big bucks to sponser the event. Event Marketing 101 for all you Cool, Groovy, Far Out, Outa Sight people.

Don’t know what letter he’s going by now but you can read all about him on Wikipedia, just search under his original name Sean Combs, it’s a long rap sheet, oops I mean mini-biography. the last two sentences right before the Discography makes for some interesting reading. I would expect a company like Captain Morgan or Nike to want their image associated with this kind of entertainer, but him and AT&T in the same bed seems like an oddball marriage. Also having a hard time wrapping my mind around “genius” and “rap artist” in the same sentence. Someone needs to go back to school and skip the Event Marketing 101 class and do a refresher course on the common sense class.

Congrats BG,
On the other hand would it really be that bad if companies were to use people that aren’t “gangsta” to promote stuff?
Maybe someone without a criminal record?
Everybody wants to be ghetto these days.

@ ERIC
I didn’t see anyone in those photos that were “gangsta”. By “gangsta”, do you mean black? Well, black people buy phones too, ya know!? And not all black people are in gangs. You as well as many people who think like you are going to have to get used to the fact that for the most part black people carry themselves differently white people… GET OVER IT! Just be happy for BGR, post and move on. Daaamn, why do people always take it to that next level!

@Bignerd,
You must be retarded. I see plenty of white “gangsta” wannabees too. If you would have taken the time to read the rest of my post you would have seen that I mentioned someone without a CRIMINAL Record.
Maybe someone who doesn’t shoot guns in a night club or assault people.
People like these seem to be Americas hereo.
How about a Soldier or a fireman to promote items.
Oh and sorry I hurt your feelings, I didn’t realize you were black.

While doing the Sean Combs wikipedia search that was so eloquently suggested here, I figured I’d out AT&T’s squeaky clean page. If you don’t mind having your 1st and 4th amendment rights violated and covered up, then AT&T is a GREAT company. I guess donating tons of money to political groups makes it all “go away.” Criticism for individuals who may or may not have a criminal record while praising a company out to infringe on your constitutional rights, only leads me to suggest some people here missed out on the common sense class. Pity.

Hehe I wonder if Paris Hilton/Lindsey Lohan/Robert Downey Jr. was there would they be called gansta too?
But I do see your point Eric I mean it would be nice to see every once and a while a teacher/fireman/police officer/nurses etc. get treat with some perks…you know the people who just cant spend 500 bucks on a whim get a goodie bag.

The firemen and police get perks everyday. Like running red lights (off duty), and eating for free to name a few. Well, in NYC anyway. I agree with the teachers and nurses. They truly are taken for granted. Unfortunately, no one will buy a Tilt because Ms. Smith has one, and AT&T is in the business to make money not friends.

Well fine, then get Bill Cosby or Ophra to promote an item. They are respected.

Lol….at Bill Cosby
“I like to pull out my tilt every time I eat a jellloooo puuddddin pop”
Well there has to be some young “hip” folks that have no brushes with the law and yet can still be seen marketing a product. Heck Rev Run daughters from Runs’s House should have been there, Bow Wow has not been in trobule with the law and he doesn’t even curse on records he could have been a cool little marketing tool. Amanda Bynes (with her super fine self). But you know its a party and where there is a party Diddy will be there.
Okay to get back on track….Congrats BG here is to 20 more parties!

Who’s praising AT$T? Not me. All companies have one goal and that’s to make a profit, all other priorities are secondary. Every company I’ve worked for has made it abundantly clear through their rules and protocols that all employees are expendable and can easily be replaced. I was working for Adelphia when they handcuffed the owner and his two sons and carted them off to jail so the news of ATT having less than a squeaky clean history is not surprising. It’s image that we’re talking about. I guess if ATT wants to reflect their disregard for customer’s privacy and portray street over virtue then I guess they have indeed chosen the right spokesman or whatever they label him as. I never liked AT$T after having them as a carrier ,this just solidifies that contempt. As far as Paris Hilton/Lindsey Lohan/Robert Downey Jr, there’s not a snowballs chance that they could be mistaken as gangsta. Everybody knows that they’re just self-absorbed alcoholic’s.

I guess it’s hard for someone like me who has morals to grow up in this immoral world.

P Diddy says: VOTE OR DIE B*TCH!
But seriously, if BGR is going to rip on TMobz for associating with Master P and Lil’ Romeo, why no shots at ATT for inviting P Diddy(why?) to their little Tilt party? Let’s face it, Sean Combs peaked May 21, 1997…
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm…TMobz not coughing up enough chedder BGR???

I love how the race card always comes up. Let’s face it - The youth of america these days has been brought up on hip hop. “The grass is always greener” often comes from the kids who emulate this movement. The only way to prevent this destruction of youth is to boycott all aspects of degradation- the clothing, the music, the language, the walk, the talk, the violence, the bling, the sheer ignorance. This goes to all blacks, whites, yellows, greens, and all in-betweens a like.
