Before I ever met the Outdoorsmen I had a chance to build with the Timeless Truth movement. These brothers brought that glorious fabric of classic NYC back to life. Timeless Truth embodies that Polo/Timberland/NorthFace/Nike/NewEra lifestyle we love so much at this site.
The project that Timeless Truth has been working on since the beginning is cooking up perfectly. Rock-It Science is straight up sautee status and about to be served like a heatrock. The appertif is called ‘Brugal y Presidentes’ and that’s just to let you know they NEVER gonna forget where they come from.
Lastnite’s show at the Highline Ballroom deserves to be credited to Vintage Gear Addicts and the Hip-Hop community they’ve been building for all their life. Timeless Truth is gonna be the piece to complete the puzzle for this Queens rap takeover. Make sure you bookmark their page if you fux with DallasPenndotcom.
Syracuse is ranked #1 in the nation, but the big Big East story is the return of the Redmen, er, Red Storm. Thanks to a local recruit from the same neighborhood as Sean Bell and Fifty Cent. Maurice Harkless is bringing back that Red fever.
In his Big East debut, Harkless set the frosh scoring mark with 32 points. But that wasn’t all…
My homey from the Highline Ballroom asked me what concert would I FUX with if I had the chance to put a show together? This was a pretty simple exercise in thinking of the rappers who I’m fuxing with right now who don’t get the eyeballs I feel they deserve. I slept on the idea and after my dreams I replied with a lineup I thought would rock the house…
Action Bronson is on the rise, but I still see people sleeping on this man’s talent. The constant refrain is that Action is the white Ghostface Killah. I don’t think those critics really study his style hard enough to give him his distinction. At this point I don’t think Action really gives a fuck.
The next rapper whom I think needs a larger audience is Mr. MFN eXquire. No one knows exactly where to put him in their rap music playbook so he doesn’t get the looks he needs to blow [ll]. This dude is bringing something crazy that hasn’t been done before him with the Biggie Brooklyn swagger and the 2 Live Crew stage show.
Bigger than all of that is he makes good music.
We have been pushing the Meyhem Lauren agenda on this site for a minute now. Meyhem is one of the rappers I know whom I have rocked with on some regular nigga shit and he is chill as fux and just as accessible as anyone. This is an original NYC style to my mind. Meyhem embodies the idea I hold that rappers are regular people who do real shit and then rap about it. Nothing he does is to put on a facade.
As rap music moves into the pop music spotlight and further away from its working class struggle roots the genre still needs artists who are Timb-booted, hoody fatigued down. But not as a costume, as a lifestyle. Meyhem Lauren represents for all the cats rocking Polo, Levis, and Timberland as their everyday uniform.
The Doppelgangaz are my guilty rap pleasure. Even tho’ they were really friendly towards me I didn’t embrace their music until the Lone Sharks project. That’s when I realized how dope and original they are. If you are stuck on their cloaks and their neo-Goth visuals you will be missing the best part about them. Their music.
The Doppelgangaz are the freshest shit on my iPod right now and I’m ready to rock out to this joint ‘Like What Like Me’. The Highline Ballroom will be off the chain on Tuesday night. These are the rappers who got next. Catch them live at the Highline, the best music hall in New York City and end your year by scoring a major win.
Your favorite almost NY Knickerbocker, Dontrevius Wenters, has an extra ticket to the Knicks blue and orange scrimmage at the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden.
Dontrevius thinks he was invited to the scrimmage to tryout for the hometeam.
Now that the NBA lockout is over will Dontrevius finally make his way in?
The New York Knicks have a new look and in their quest for an NBA ‘Chip (championship) they also have a new brand of potato chips.
Move over Utz, the Knicks are going for the gold, Yukon Gold.
The New York Knicks are undefeated.
Sure its the pre-season, but we can all hope can’t we?
Dontrevius Wenters walks the hallowed halls of Madison Square Garden to talk to Knicks fans about their hopes for this season.
And his chances for finally playing for the Knicks.
The Air Jordan retro XI ‘Concord’ hype reached a fever pitch on 34th Street lastnite. No one was killed in NYC but unfortunately that wasn’t the case around the country.
I’m sure the Jordan Brand folks will consider this a successful release. Had there been mass killings this might have been the best release of all time. I’m sad that we’re back to killing people for sneakers because the people making these joints in China are surely dying also, from being overworked.
A lot of people on the lineup asked me if the video was going to WorldStar. They consider that to be a Hip-Hop website. WTF?!? A little part of my sole dies when I talk to the masses. They are grossly misinformed and mostly cowardly lemmings. Does anyone do real shit anymore? I don’t think so.
