List of The Day

Diddy...
Nelly...
Will Smith...

So what is it that these guys have in common?
Rappers that have made movies? Yeah, but this ain't about that. This guy named Rod O'Connor composed this list of the 25 Worst Rappers of All Time and guess who all are in the queue? You guessed it...These fellas!!! Now, the list is 25 deep so these aren't the only notable names on there. Some of your favorite emcees may be on the list...(none of mine are) and if they are get mad...really mad and then kill ya self. preferably by slitting your wrists vertically with the cd's of the rapper you would defend on this list. I don't really agree with Rob but the some of these cats deserve to be informed that they ain't nice!!!

Sorry.

Diamond Girl

don't know if this is what Ryan Leslie had in mind but I can't hate these.
Nike's New Court Force "Diamond" Pack. No conflicts joints here though they are
a little gaudy for my tastes but the gold highs reminded me of Salt n Pepa.


they are an ode to the girl
who still wears sneakers...


and i saw them on HIGH SNOBIETY

Bamboozled Boyeeeee!

Flava Flav has left a bad taste in my mouth before but its all in an effort to be funny. I suppose I could be mad an insulted if he was being taken seriously as an ambassador for black people. My sincere hope is that people just see Flav as Flav. No more, no less. But I can’t help but wonder what the undertone is of shows like this. That are created for a certain kind of person. Something has to be said about someone who will be entertained by this guy in this way. Holla at the back of the bus, flav.

Bamboozled Boyeeeee!

My Girls Rock Balenciaga...

I suppose I'm a little late.
I saw the movie transformers when it was released to DVD and was at home gawking thinking it was one of the hottest action movies I'd ever seen. Now I'm waiting on VOLTRON. I'm still playing catch up in some other areas of life. One being the female footwear realm.



The Optimus prime of heel was released in the Fall of 07 but damn if I see a chick pull these out this summer, what I'm gone say..."You're late"? The audacity.

see for yourself >>> Balenciaga ... more than meets the eye

Takashi Murakami says Hello Brooklyn

take a trip to the Brooklyn Museum to get cultured like milk.
If you don't remember, Murakami is the artist responsible Kanye West's GRADUATION Cover Art.

brief description

The most comprehensive retrospective to date of the work of internationally
acclaimed Japanese artist Takashi Murakami includes more than ninety works in
various media that span the artist’s entire career, installed in more than
18,500 square feet of gallery space....

...The exhibition © MURAKAMI explores the self-reflexive nature of
Murakami’s oeuvre by focusing on earlier work produced between 1992 and 2000 in
which the artist attempts to explore his own reality through an investigation of
branding and identity, as well as through self-portraiture created since 2000.
Two works examining these subjects were a part of a group show, My Reality:
Contemporary Art and the Culture of Japanese Animation, presented at the
Brooklyn Museum in 2001.

The Roots - Rising Down Cover

sorry Nahright...I had to bite.

here's the cover for the coming Roots LP.

the brother ?uestlove breaks it down for us proper...

"This drawing is entitled NEGRO RULE. and it pretty much sums up the feeling of
the Confederate Union towards the newly freed slaves and the idea that if
given
power they would reek havoc and chaos on the country."

Now, did someone just say Decision 08?

all hail ALL GONE

As a bible for the streewise, All Gone 2007 pays hommage to 200 collectors
products launched during 2007 : sneakers, designer toys, tees, skates,
collectibles...

Back To Black (...Thought, that is)

My Sprite Easter Pink

i saw this MTV New Headline...Lil Wayne On Syrup: 'Everybody Wants Me To Stop ... It Ain't That Easy'

"No, he hasn't talked to me," said Wayne, sitting in his tour bus in his native New Orleans, about Bun, a longstanding friend of the Cash Money Millionaires family. "But I'm going through that same sh-- with my friends, with my mom. Everybody wants me to stop all this and all that. It ain't that easy." Weezy said he can't just quit cold turkey.

I felt compelled to ask people to read this article because I know how big this guy's voice is to kids. Does he feel the same constraints to speak responsibly on things as I do, or as I think he should. I don’t pass judgment on anyone but I think this opens the floor for relevant conversation. I’d like candid feedback on the subject. Since Pimp C’s death, Bun B has come out and acknowledged the epidemic of the Sizzurp. He even went so far as to denounce it from use in the future album works. I don’t condemn what Weezy does but I don’t condone it either. So many high schoolers look at Wayne as the greatest rapper alive and its under his own coercion. A lot is taken on by that. But I suppose that this is just a classic case of a celebrity not choosing to live responsibly.

That last part of what I stated is neither here nor there. It just sounds oxymoronic to proclaim strength in your actions and boast about how you don’t run away or you stand and look your problems in the face when in the same breath you say “Its not that easy” to quit. Well fuck the easy way out, you’re addicted now and its fucking with your health. Don’t mention “everything a nigga do is successful” that is besides the point of the drank. It should be successful, that’s a different issue. This is this. The drugs are a problem in hip hop. Get off the Boo Boo!

Boss

In keeping with my previous post, the readers should be feeling mighty tony-danza-dogg-father-ish right about now. We'll stay in that lane. if you can appreciate a fine cognac, i hope you can appreciate a fine glass to sip it in. voila!

behold ye swivel liqueur glass...
thank me later

Stadium Status

James Brown and Pavarotti.
This feels like the Bering Strait between American Gangster and Godfather Films.
Its so gangster under the flesh of what you see.
Each man is playing his position but the respect is clear for the other.
I hope to reach beyond this and if not i'll land on this same plateau.

My glass is raised and my hat is tipped.
more moscato please.

How to Win Me! Be Sexy

what's sexy?



Don’t just roll your eyes…
You gotta lick your lips too...

Its just us here, please don’t be shy, although the right amount of naïveness on just the right topics could appeal as well.

SO, Be frank without being brash…

Honesty is taboo, so it draws me in like I’m losing tug of war. Its like you’re already naked. Your bare candor. Strip the candy-coated surface off the fronting. You know what you like, scraping your own skin with your dark-painted nails just thinking about it...I’m listening intuitively. The kind that chews gum with open mouth but your eyes are saying it all. Standing on my mattress in your heels…

Back to rolling your eyes and licking your lips. Your back is turned to me and you’re facing one side. Glancing at me from the corner of your eye like you could careless if I’m there or not.

But it tickles you that I’m watching. Its makes it an event…a bit like an exhibition. You’re on the stage…Props? A cigarette…a lighter, you say?

Take your hair down first. No wait! Do you have short hair. Like ’92 Halle. Run your fingers thru it. Or shorter…like ’94 Jada.
Talk …But choose wisely. What you say could make or break this.
Speak slowly and don’t be afraid to say the word.

You know that word.

Don’t call it kitty
or cooter or anything else that sounds like the name of a childhood pet.
Don’t get clinical either. I’m a big boy. I can take it.
Let it roll off your tongue like your giving me the guide on how I should -----------

lol





Damn it.


I gotta take this call.
