Deborah Sengupta grew up in a cornfield in northwest Ohio where her multicultural family was something of a curious anomaly. She didn't like it very much. On a whim, she landed in Austin in 1995, where, before coming to Austin360.com in 2004, she drove a limo, played bass in a band, promoted fabulous parties and answered a whole lot of phones.
In 2000, she began building Web sites about Austin's urban music scene and became so insistent that Austin hip-hop shouldn't be ignored that KOOP radio gave her a show to prove it. In a country town with a heart full of rock 'n' roll, she firmly believes it also has a funky underbelly that's almost urban.

If you fail to waste the same sort of time combing mean-spirited hip-hop gossip sites that I do, you might have missed the whole Diddy vs. Laurie Ann chair chucking controversy that went down on the set of “MTB4” earlier this year. Back in April, our favorite electric blue dance dominatrix got into a scuffle with the Didster and Michael Bivens during which the artist who prefers to no longer be called Puffy allegedly threatened her with a chair. Though Diddy claims she was overreacting, (what’s a little manic furniture tossing between friends?) Laurie Ann filed a complaint with the New York Police Department on May 11.
To get up to speed on the whole incident before tonight’s episode, check out Laurie Ann’s interview with Wendy Williams over at The Pop Culture Junkie.
