Fur swag on one trillion. Shouts to Matthew Henson…

Dirty Jerz and Sean Price both sent me images of this parka. No doubt the joint is HOARD! I would have preferred an olive green or navy color, but this is the official tissue expedition parka.

Chocolate Snowflake recently gave me a book about Matthew Henson. That dude was super hardbody. Discovering the North Pole was some retarded shit. The North Pole is just ice over water. To get to the pole you have to literally commit yourself to die.

Henson loved adventure so much that he didn’t care if he never made it back home. He learned to communicate and fully integrated with the Inuit eskimos. But most of all Henson learned how to run a dog sled. Mushing dogs was key to moving supplies over the icy tundra and no one was better than Matthew Henson.

The Iditarod race is an 1150mile race across Alaska as an honor to Henson and all the expert dogmushers who navigate that rugged countryside. Timberland created a series of boots named after the great race and the 40-Below was the cornerstone boot. This is the holy grail of Timberland.

The following video is for Marq’Spekt, Dirty Jerz, cocotaso and all of the readers/viewers who have a respect for the craftsmanship of classic Timberland products.

Santa Came To The Ghetto…

I copped this image from a racist-apologist website. Apparently anything with a Black man on it is automatically ghetto, even if he is wearing a classy tophat.

For this year Santa found my chimney again [ll]. He knows I’m the dude that has almost everything so to hook me up he has to think outside of the box. In this case that means socks.

Dirty Jerz and Chocolate Snowflake came thru with foot coverings that appeal to my heartstrings. Jerz also laced me with more items not pictured here but trust me they are official. Now I feel a kind of way that I haven’t sent my package to him yet [ll].

C.S. also blessed me with a couple of books I’ve needed.

The Anthology of Rap has been buzzing around the internets and I am already enjoying some the songs I’ve seen they have published. I always worried that some white would come around to give rap and Hip-Hop culture the ol’ National Geographic anthropologist treatment and they would inherently fux shit up since they are examining the freedom song without having the right amount of soul.

Yeah, it happened.

At least I have this Willie Mays autobiography to get me hype for the spring. I read this Hank Aaron bio last year that fuxed my head up. It appears that the Hammer and the Say Hey Kid weren’t as tight as I had hoped to believe. Aaron was angry with the Mays comparisons he had gotten all of his career, at least up until he eclipsed Willie on the all-time HR list. Willie was described as a bigot and somewhat of a clubhouse poison. Last I remember both Aaron and Mays have won the same amount of World Series. One.

Anyhoo, I hope you all had a merry Christmas with your folks. I’ll see you on the flipside.

All Day I Dream About Sneakers…

My Atlanta family The Shoe Game is celebrating their fourth year online as the premier sneaker culture website. This year their anniversary party is going to be extra off the hook. They’re giving away mad pairs of kicks and other swag.

The Shoe Game is normally reserved and chill city but even G-Roc is going ham. FML that I can’t make it to Atlanta for this event.
