Sway is a music-industry icon. In the 1990s, he gave both Notorious B.I.G. and Eminem their first radio airplay on his local show. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kgpLFRazdnM\" target=\"_blank\">Now he works for Eminem<\/a>, because Shade 45 is Em&#8217;s channel. Lesson: Be nice to people on their way up, because they could offer you a good job someday!) In 2000, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtv.com\/news\/correspondents\/sway\/bio.jhtml\" target=\"_blank\">he joined MTV as a music-news reporter<\/a> and was there for some of the channel&#8217;s peak years including the &#8220;Choose or Lose&#8221; bring-out-the-vote campaign in 2004. More recently, he stayed cool while <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vibe.com\/article\/watch-official-video-kanye-west-interview-sway-calloway-shade45\" target=\"_blank\">Kanye West had an on-air meltdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s Boo on Sway&#8217;s show. Highlariously, you can see me on the left starting at about 11:35, as Boo considers turning over her phone to me. As you&#8217;ll see, she decided she couldn&#8217;t bear to be parted from it.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0c2luvAL2i0\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>On the way in, we were excited to meet actor Billy Bob Thornton.

She talked about the latest celebrity gossip with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/itstracyg\" target=\"_blank\">Tracy G.<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thehappyhourwHB\" target=\"_blank\">Heather B.<\/a>, and then <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/djwonder\" target=\"_blank\">DJ Wonder<\/a> played a massive Boo set. I have to figure out how to download that. Anyway, with all of this, &#8220;Bitchy&#8221; has gotten a ton of airplay.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the official &#8220;Bitchy&#8221; video. If you&#8217;re not familiar with Gangsta Boo, you&#8217;ve probably at least figured out from her name that her music is hardcore. If you&#8217;re a delicate flower who does not want to see anyone waving a gun in a music video, don&#8217;t watch it. You&#8217;ll probably swoon and no one carries <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Smelling_salts\" target=\"_blank\">smelling salts<\/a> these days.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VwXAplv-Gk4\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bitchy&#8221; is actually pretty low-key compared to Da Mafia 6ix&#8217;s recent &#8220;Beacon N Blender&#8221; video. Boo wasn&#8217;t sure she should show ME that one. She did want me to see that she was wearing <a href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/2014\/03\/two-new-custom-necklaces\/\" target=\"_blank\">the big 666 necklace I custom-made for her<\/a>, but she thought I might freak out out about the rest of the video. I insisted on seeing it and found it very educational. Now I know what it takes to have a thriving cocaine business!
