“This week a judge denied Gucci Mane the privilege of leaving the state of GA to honor his obligation in Birmingham. the show has been postponed to Nov.21st with Nick Minaj and ALL TICKETS WILL BE HONORED. I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE TO ALL DISAPPOINTED FANS BUT AS A PROMOTER ALL I CAN DO I PAY THE ARTIST, I CAN NOT CONTROL THE DECISIONS THEY MAKE IN THEIR PERSONAL LIVES.”

A “Star Studded” Classic

Star Studded Weekend

Update: Check out the pictures from the Magic City Classic. GO >>

The annual pilgrimage to the Magic City Classic has begun and the largest event in Alabama has officially kicked off.  Generations have participated in the Magic that is the Classic as Alabama A&M  meets Alabama State in Birmingham, Alabama.  As many that participate in this grand event I did not attend either school but for as long as I can remember the Magic City Classic in Birmingham has been sort of an unofficial holiday in the African American community.

The rest of the world has finally discovered the Magic City Classic which was named the most attended HBCU Classic in the country.  Although 65,000 plus will be in the stands and perhaps another 50,000 plus outside tailgating the crowd continues to grow each year and the heritage continues to pass on to the next generation.

Perhaps the most noticeable thing about the Classic, outside of the normal crowd, has to be the number of celebrities that find their way to the Magic City. Each year this number seems to grow and of course the celebs are getting paid to entertain Classic fans but the once hard to fill ticket of coming to Birmingham Alabama to perform is becoming a much easier sell.   This is one weekend the city will have more stars than a Piddy birthday bash….well maybe not that many but you get the picture!

Who’s in town for the Classic!

  • Avant
  • Big Daddy Kane
  • Biz Markie
  • Charlie Wilson
  • Doug E Fresh
  • Kindred The Family Soul
  • John Witherspoon
  • Rickey Smiley
  • Ralph Transvant
  • Steve Harvey Morning Show
  • The Gap Band
  • Tom Joyner Morning Show
  • M.C. Lyte
  • Morris Day & Time
  • Noel Gourdin
  • Vivica Fox
  • Whodini
  • and YOU!

Stop by the Urbanham.com calendar to see where these celebrities will be hanging out during the Classic and let us know who we missed!  Also make sure you visit the official Magic City Classic website to get the 411 on parking and other important game day information.

Be safe and have fun!
