What went down at 1st annual Ozone Awards

[Trapident]

The first annual Ozone Awards came and went with a big bang, but not in the way that you may believe.

The TJsDJs conference element of the weekend was done exceptionally well, even though most of the panels were delayed.

List of the panels for the weekend.

Producers Panel
Technology Panel
DJ Panel
A&R Panel
Women In The Industry Panel
Media Panel
Artist Panel

You could say that the panels were well worth the wait. They were all very informative. The artist panel was the highlight of the conference. David Banner, Killer Mike, Lil’ Boosie, Slim Thug, Trae, Gangsta Boo, T-Pain, and Webbie were there for it. Webbie showed up late, but is a very comical guy. Killer Mike is a great public speaker as well as David Banner. Trae even stated that he was not one for words, however gave a lot of advice and tips. This panel took up two conference rooms full, due to an overwhelming crowd.

The Media Panel was out of the ordinary to say the least. The host was very unprofessional. I do not know his name, but he is skinny, dressed like JJ Evans, and had a loud mouth. He spent most of the time bashing southern music and talking off topic nonsense. The panelists had to get on him because he was not interacting with the group whom were there to soak up knowledge. His justification was that he wanted to have good questions asked. You could say that he called the audience idiots.

The DJ Panelists were Clinton Sparks, Wally Sparks, OG Ron C, Chuck T, Brandi Garcia, DJ Jelly, and Mike Watts. This had to be the funniest panel of them all. DJ KLC got into it with the panelists over what is considered hip-hop. That stemmed from talk about D4L. DJ Green Lantern spoke also about being a "fake DJ" which caused quite a stir with a "fake DJ” that was on the panel. This continued for a while as Clinton Sparks and DJ Jelly added their opinion’s about what a real DJ is. He also stated that he was tired of hearing “Screwed” hooks, so he and OG Ron C mildly got into it. This was one of the more argumentative moments of the weekend to say the least. However, there would be much more strain surrounding visitors.
