Well Damn, If You Can't Twerk in Atlanta…

Where can you twerk?

I went to one of my favorite bars in Atlanta last night. It's located in a five-star hotel and my usual weekend stop. As I walked in and saw a woman with a rotund derriere and a twenty-dollar bill pinned to her chest, I knew it was going to be an interesting night.

My prediction came true around 11pm when the DJ played Birthday B*tch by Trap Beckham and the aforementioned woman gave the most ambitious twerk session that I'm sure this bar has ever seen. It definitely felt like a scene at a different type of Atlanta entertainment venue. However, as soon as I heard the song, I knew what was about to happen. She was lightly gyrating all night and just waiting for a moment like this. (I also knew the manger would immediately ask the DJ to change the song and chuckled as I watched the scene take place.)

Quick change of music. She settles.

Next song, the DJ goes back to trap. She twerks again.

The manager then decides it's a good idea to tell this woman that she has to stop twerking or she'll be asked to leave because she's making the other guests uncomfortable.

This is not a good idea. She immediately starts to twerk again as he stands next to her.

Another conversation between the DJ and the manager and we're firmly planted in the 80’s. However, now incensed, this patron was undeterred by this attempt to silence her backside so she twerked on beat to everything the DJ played from Salt N' Pepa's Push It to Prince's When Doves Cry.

Now I get it, this is not the type of the thing that I'd expect to see at any of their other properties, but this is Atlanta. And granted, it even feels a little out of place at this one. However, you can't play trap music in Atlanta and then try and ban someone from twerking to it (the two go together like Earl Grey and cream).

It's also overall ridiculous to try and kick someone out of a place for having their version of a good time in general…especially when they're staying at the hotel…and spending about $2000 at the bar…and not harming or disrespecting anyone.

I'm pretty sure what will happen here is that the music will now and forevermore be changed, but that would very much miss the point.
