Big Boi knew the Outkast 2000 hit \u201cB.O.B\u201d would take off because of how it was received at that club. Basketball legend Shaquille O\u2019Neal said he signed a $120 million contract there. And of course, the snippet features clips of scantily clad dancers hitting splits and swinging from the ceiling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tWhile the trailer marks the, well, magic, of one of the country\u2019s most famous strip clubs, it also promises to unpack how the club became a hub of crime and danger, sometimes infiltrated by law enforcement. In a 2022 Rolling Stone report on shifting nightlife policy in Atlanta that could have put strict security requirements on local club owners, Michael Barney, Magic City\u2019s founder, said, \u201cWe can\u2019t control the people who come to our establishment. We open the doors for everyone. Here we are risking our lives to tell them to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/drake-shaq-quavo-atlanta-magic-city-strip-club-docuseries-1235398725\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magic City: An American Fantasy will premiere on Starz on Aug. 15 On Aug. 15, Starz will release a five-part documentary series, Magic City:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":42836,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop","article","has-excerpt","has-avatar","has-author","has-date","has-comment-count","has-category-meta","has-read-more","thumbnail-"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42835"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42835\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
