Yung Berg On Being An Atlantan, The New Album (And Yet Again) That Apology
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Add hip-hop entrepreneur Yung Berg to the ever-growing list of Atlanta music makers.
The head of Yung Boss — whose debut CD “Look What You Made Me” hits stores tomorrow - recently bought a condo in Midtown. And while he still touts his Chicago base, “I am an Atlantan now,” he told us.
And that was just the start of our brief conversation with the hitmaker (“The Business,” “Sexy Lady”).
Here’s what else he else had to say about…
What attracted him to Atlanta: “I love the party scene,” said the recent L.A. resident. “And there is just a lot, a lot, too many beautiful girls.”
That negative comment he made about dark-skinned women: “I made a mistake and I continue to apologize…I hope people will forgive me and grow with me as a person, and an artist.”
His debut CD: “This is just a real proud moment for me. I mean, to be 22-years-old and have my own record company, already have a single like ‘Sexy Can I’ [with Ray J] that’s sold 3 million copies independently, and “The Business” up on the charts, I mean, I just hope I’m inspiring other young people to go get their dreams now.”
Planning to pick up “Look What You Made Me”? Were you bothered by that inflammatory comment he made? Are you a Yung Berg fan?

Sorry I have not heard the comment which may be a good thing. However, if you plan to have longevity in the business where you are constantly being quoted and “misquoted” it would be wise just to keep it to yourself. Because somebody will always be there to make a big deal about it. Keep Your Head UP and continue to make good music.
